One of the kmemleak changes caused the following scheduling-while-holding-the-tasklist-lock regression on x86: BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at mm/kmemleak.c:795 in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, pid: 1737, name: kmemleak 2 locks held by kmemleak/1737: #0: (scan_mutex){......}, at: [<c10c4376>] kmemleak_scan_thread+0x45/0x86 #1: (tasklist_lock){......}, at: [<c10c3bb4>] kmemleak_scan+0x1a9/0x39c Pid: 1737, comm: kmemleak Not tainted 2.6.31-rc1-tip #59266 Call Trace: [<c105ac0f>] ? __debug_show_held_locks+0x1e/0x20 [<c102e490>] __might_sleep+0x10a/0x111 [<c10c38d5>] scan_yield+0x17/0x3b [<c10c3970>] scan_block+0x39/0xd4 [<c10c3bc6>] kmemleak_scan+0x1bb/0x39c [<c10c4331>] ? kmemleak_scan_thread+0x0/0x86 [<c10c437b>] kmemleak_scan_thread+0x4a/0x86 [<c104d73e>] kthread+0x6e/0x73 [<c104d6d0>] ? kthread+0x0/0x73 [<c100959f>] kernel_thread_helper+0x7/0x10 kmemleak: 834 new suspected memory leaks (see /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak) The bit causing it is highly dubious: static void scan_yield(void) { might_sleep(); if (time_is_before_eq_jiffies(next_scan_yield)) { schedule(); next_scan_yield = jiffies + jiffies_scan_yield; } } It called deep inside the codepath and in a conditional way, and that is what crapped up when one of the new scan_block() uses grew a tasklist_lock dependency. This minimal patch removes that yielding stuff and adds the proper cond_resched(). The background scanning thread could probably also be reniced to +10.

This reverts commit 73ce7b01. After discovering that we don't listen to gratuitious arps in 2.6.30 I tracked the failure down to this commit. The patch makes absolutely no sense. RFC2131 RFC3927 and RFC5227. are all in agreement that an arp request with sip == 0 should be used for the probe (to prevent learning) and an arp request with sip == tip should be used for the gratitous announcement that people can learn from. It appears the author of the broken patch got those two cases confused and modified the code to drop all gratuitous arp traffic. Ouch! Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Eric W.

Richard Kennedy authored
balance_dirty_pages can overreact and move all of the dirty pages to writeback unnecessarily. balance_dirty_pages makes its decision to throttle based on the number of dirty plus writeback pages that are over the calculated limit,so it will continue to move pages even when there are plenty of pages in writeback and less than the threshold still dirty. This allows it to overshoot its limits and move all the dirty pages to writeback while waiting for the drives to catch up and empty the writeback list. A simple fio test easily demonstrates this problem. fio --name=f1 --directory=/disk1 --size=2G -rw=write --name=f2 --directory=/disk2 --size=1G --rw=write --startdelay=10 This is the simplest fix I could find, but I'm not entirely sure that it alone will be enough for all cases. But it certainly is an improvement on my desktop machine writing to 2 disks. Do we need something more for machines with large arrays where bdi_threshold * number_of_drives is greater than the dirty_ratio ?

Bugfix to spi_bitbang infrastructure: make sure to always set transfer parameters on the first pass through the message's per-transfer loop. This can matter with drivers that replace the per-word or per-buffer transfer primitives, on busses with multiple SPI devices. Previously, this could have started messages using the settings left after previous messages. The problem was observed when a high speed chip (m25p80 type flash) was running very slowly because a low speed device (avr8 microcontroller) had previously used the bus. Similar faults could have driven the low speed device too fast, or used an unexpected word size. Acked-by: Steven A.

Krzysztof Helt authored
Add a mutex to avoid a circular locking problem between the mm layer semaphore and fbdev ioctl mutex through the fb_mmap() call. Also, add mutex to all places where smem_start and smem_len fields change so the mutex inside the fb_mmap() is actually used. Changing of these fields before calling the framebuffer_register() are not mutexed. This is 2.6.31 material. It removes one lockdep (fb_mmap() and register_framebuffer()) but there is still another one (fb_release() and register_framebuffer()). It also cleans up handling of the smem_start and smem_len fields used by mutexed section of the fb_mmap().
