It turns out that some device drivers map pages from the ACPI NVS region during resume using ioremap(), which conflicts with ioremap_cache() used for mapping those pages by the NVS save/restore code in nvs.c. Make the NVS pages mapped by the code in nvs.c be unmapped before device drivers' resume routines run. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

Commit ca9b600b ("ACPI / PM: Make suspend_nvs_save() use acpi_os_map_memory()") attempted to prevent the code in osl.c and nvs.c from using different ioremap() variants by making the latter use acpi_os_map_memory() for mapping the NVS pages. However, that also requires acpi_os_unmap_memory() to be used for unmapping them, which causes synchronize_rcu() to be executed many times in a row unnecessarily and introduces substantial delays during resume on some systems. Instead of using acpi_os_map_memory() for mapping the NVS pages in nvs.c introduce acpi_os_ioremap() calling ioremap_cache() and make the code in both osl.c and nvs.c use it.

We have to test the cpu mask in the interrupt handler before checking the refs, otherwise we can start to follow an entry before its deleted and find it partially initailzed for the next trip. Presently we also clear the cpumask bit before executing the called function, which implies getting write access to the line. After the function is called we then decrement refs, and if they go to zero we then unlock the structure. However, this implies getting write access to the call function data before and after another the function is called. If we can assert that no smp_call_function execution function is allowed to enable interrupts, then we can move both writes to after the function is called, hopfully allowing both writes with one cache line bounce. On a 256 thread system with a kernel compiled for 1024 threads, the time to execute testcase in the "smp_call_function_many race" changelog was reduced by about 30-40ms out of about 545 ms. I decided to keep this as WARN because its now a buggy function, even though the stack trace is of no value -- a simple printk would give us the information needed.

I noticed a failure where we hit the following WARN_ON in generic_smp_call_function_interrupt: if (!cpumask_test_and_clear_cpu(cpu, data->cpumask)) continue; data->csd.func(data->csd.info); refs = atomic_dec_return(&data->refs); WARN_ON(refs < 0); <------------------------- We atomically tested and cleared our bit in the cpumask, and yet the number of cpus left (ie refs) was 0. How can this be? It turns out commit 54fdade1 ("generic-ipi: make struct call_function_data lockless") is at fault. It removes locking from smp_call_function_many and in doing so creates a rather complicated race. The problem comes about because: - The smp_call_function_many interrupt handler walks call_function.queue without any locking. - We reuse a percpu data structure in smp_call_function_many. - We do not wait for any RCU grace period before starting the next smp_call_function_many. Imagine a scenario where CPU A does two smp_call_functions back to back, and CPU B does an smp_call_function in between. We concentrate on how CPU C handles the calls: CPU A CPU B CPU C CPU D smp_call_function smp_call_function_interrupt walks call_function.queue sees data from CPU A on list smp_call_function smp_call_function_interrupt walks call_function.queue sees (stale) CPU A on list smp_call_function int clears last ref on A list_del_rcu, unlock smp_call_function reuses percpu *data A data->cpumask sees and clears bit in cpumask might be using old or new fn! decrements refs below 0 set data->refs (too late!) The important thing to note is since the interrupt handler walks a potentially stale call_function.queue without any locking, then another cpu can view the percpu *data structure at any time, even when the owner is in the process of initialising it. The following test case hits the WARN_ON 100% of the time on my PowerPC box (having 128 threads does help :) #include <linux/module.h> #include <linux/init.h> #define ITERATIONS 100 static void do_nothing_ipi(void *dummy) { } static void do_ipis(struct work_struct *dummy) { int i; for (i = 0; i < ITERATIONS; i++) smp_call_function(do_nothing_ipi, NULL, 1); printk(KERN_DEBUG "cpu %d finished\n", smp_processor_id()); } static struct work_struct work[NR_CPUS]; static int __init testcase_init(void) { int cpu; for_each_online_cpu(cpu) { INIT_WORK(&work[cpu], do_ipis); schedule_work_on(cpu, &work[cpu]); } return 0; } static void __exit testcase_exit(void) { } module_init(testcase_init) module_exit(testcase_exit) MODULE_LICENSE("GPL"); MODULE_AUTHOR("Anton Blanchard"); I tried to fix it by ordering the read and the write of ->cpumask and ->refs. In doing so I missed a critical case but Paul McKenney was able to spot my bug thankfully :) To ensure we arent viewing previous iterations the interrupt handler needs to read ->refs then ->cpumask then ->refs _again_. Thanks to Milton Miller and Paul McKenney for helping to debug this issue.

Now, under THP: at charge: - PageCgroupUsed bit is set to all page_cgroup on a hugepage. ....set to 512 pages. at uncharge - PageCgroupUsed bit is unset on the head page. So, some pages will remain with "Used" bit. This patch fixes that Used bit is set only to the head page. Used bits for tail pages will be set at splitting if necessary.

Up until 3e7d3449 ("mm: vmscan: reclaim order-0 and use compaction instead of lumpy reclaim"), compaction skipped calculating the fragmentation index of a zone when compaction was explicitely requested through the procfs knob. However, when compaction_suitable was introduced, it did not come with an extra check for order == -1, set on explicit compaction requests, and passed this order on to the fragmentation index calculation, where it overshifts the number of requested pages, leading to a division by zero. This patch makes sure that order == -1 is recognized as the flag it is rather than passing it along as valid order parameter.

memblock_is_region_memory() uses reserved memblocks to search for the given region, while it should use the memory memblocks. I encountered the problem with OMAP's framebuffer ram allocation. Normally the ram is allocated dynamically, and this function is not called. However, if we want to pass the framebuffer from the bootloader to the kernel (to retain the boot image), this function is used to check the validity of the kernel parameters for the framebuffer ram area.

The meaning of CONFIG_EMBEDDED has long since been obsoleted; the option is used to configure any non-standard kernel with a much larger scope than only small devices. This patch renames the option to CONFIG_EXPERT in init/Kconfig and fixes references to the option throughout the kernel. A new CONFIG_EMBEDDED option is added that automatically selects CONFIG_EXPERT when enabled and can be used in the future to isolate options that should only be considered for embedded systems (RISC architectures, SLOB, etc). Calling the option "EXPERT" more accurately represents its intention: only expert users who understand the impact of the configuration changes they are making should enable it.
