Currently alloc_huge_page() raises page refcount outside hugetlb_lock. but it causes race when dequeue_hwpoison_huge_page() runs concurrently with alloc_huge_page(). To avoid it, this patch moves set_page_refcounted() in hugetlb_lock.

This check is necessary to avoid race between dequeue and allocation, which can cause a free hugepage to be dequeued twice and get kernel unstable.

This patch extends page migration code to support hugepage migration. One of the potential users of this feature is soft offlining which is triggered by memory corrected errors (added by the next patch.) Todo: - there are other users of page migration such as memory policy, memory hotplug and memocy compaction. They are not ready for hugepage support for now. ChangeLog since v4: - define migrate_huge_pages() - remove changes on isolation/putback_lru_page() ChangeLog since v2: - refactor isolate/putback_lru_page() to handle hugepage - add comment about race on unmap_and_move_huge_page() ChangeLog since v1: - divide migration code path for hugepage - define routine checking migration swap entry for hugetlb - replace "goto" with "if/else" in remove_migration_pte() Signed-off-by: Naoya Horiguchi <n-horiguchi@ah.jp.nec.com> Signed-off-by: Jun'ichi Nomura <j-nomura@ce.jp.nec.com> Acked-by: Mel Gorman <mel@csn.ul.ie> Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>

This patch modifies hugepage copy functions to have only destination and source hugepages as arguments for later use. The old ones are renamed from copy_{gigantic,huge}_page() to copy_user_{gigantic,huge}_page(). This naming convention is consistent with that between copy_highpage() and copy_user_highpage(). ChangeLog since v4: - add blank line between local declaration and code - remove unnecessary might_sleep() ChangeLog since v2: - change copy_huge_page() from macro to inline dummy function to avoid compile warning when !CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE.

We can't use existing hugepage allocation functions to allocate hugepage for page migration, because page migration can happen asynchronously with the running processes and page migration users should call the allocation function with physical addresses (not virtual addresses) as arguments. ChangeLog since v3: - unify alloc_buddy_huge_page() and alloc_buddy_huge_page_node() ChangeLog since v2: - remove unnecessary get/put_mems_allowed() (thanks to David Rientjes) ChangeLog since v1: - add comment on top of alloc_huge_page_no_vma() Signed-off-by: Naoya Horiguchi <n-horiguchi@ah.jp.nec.com> Acked-by: Mel Gorman <mel@csn.ul.ie> Signed-off-by: Jun'ichi Nomura <j-nomura@ce.jp.nec.com> Reviewed-by: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux.com> Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>

Since the PageHWPoison() check is for avoiding hwpoisoned page remained in pagecache mapping to the process, it should be done in "found in pagecache" branch, not in the common path. Otherwise, metadata corruption occurs if memory failure happens between alloc_huge_page() and lock_page() because page fault fails with metadata changes remained (such as refcount, mapcount, etc.) This patch moves the check to "found in pagecache" branch and fix the problem. ChangeLog since v2: - remove retry check in "new allocation" path. - make description more detailed - change patch name from "HWPOISON, hugetlb: move PG_HWPoison bit check" Signed-off-by: Naoya Horiguchi <n-horiguchi@ah.jp.nec.com> Signed-off-by: Jun'ichi Nomura <j-nomura@ce.jp.nec.com> Acked-by: Mel Gorman <mel@csn.ul.ie> Reviewed-by: Wu Fengguang <fengguang.wu@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux.com> Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>

When proc_doulongvec_minmax() is used with an array of longs, and no min/max check requested (.extra1 or .extra2 being NULL), we dereference a NULL pointer for the second element of the array. Noticed while doing some changes in network stack for the "16TB problem" Fix is to not change min & max pointers in __do_proc_doulongvec_minmax(), so that all elements of the vector share an unique min/max limit, like proc_dointvec_minmax().

2.6.36 introduces an API for drivers to switch the IO scheduler instead of manually calling the elevator exit and init functions. This API was added since q->elevator must be cleared in between those two calls. And since we already have this functionality directly from use by the sysfs interface to switch schedulers online, it was prudent to reuse it internally too. But this API needs the queue to be in a fully initialized state before it is called, or it will attempt to unregister elevator kobjects before they have been added. This results in an oops like this: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000051 IP: [<ffffffff8116f15e>] sysfs_create_dir+0x2e/0xc0 PGD 47ddfc067 PUD 47c6a1067 PMD 0 Oops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP last sysfs file: /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/0000:04:00.1/irq CPU 2 Modules linked in: t(+) loop hid_apple usbhid ahci ehci_hcd uhci_hcd libahci usbcore nls_base igb Pid: 7319, comm: modprobe Not tainted 2.6.36-rc6+ #132 QSSC-S4R/QSSC-S4R RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff8116f15e>] [<ffffffff8116f15e>] sysfs_create_dir+0x2e/0xc0 RSP: 0018:ffff88027da25d08 EFLAGS: 00010246 RAX: ffff88047c68c528 RBX: 00000000fffffffe RCX: 0000000000000000 RDX: 000000000000002f RSI: 000000000000002f RDI: ffff88047e196c88 RBP: ffff88027da25d38 R08: 0000000000000000 R09: d84156c5635688c0 R10: d84156c5635688c0 R11: 0000000000000000 R12: ffff88047e196c88 R13: 0000000000000000 R14: 0000000000000000 R15: ffff88047c68c528 FS: 00007fcb0b26f6e0(0000) GS:ffff880287400000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 000000008005003b CR2: 0000000000000051 CR3: 000000047e76e000 CR4: 00000000000006e0 DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000ffff0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 Process modprobe (pid: 7319, threadinfo ffff88027da24000, task ffff88027d377090) Stack: ffff88027da25d58 ffff88047c68c528 00000000fffffffe ffff88047e196c88 <0> ffff88047c68c528 ffff88047e05bd90 ffff88027da25d78 ffffffff8123fb77 <0> ffff88047e05bd90 0000000000000000 ffff88047e196c88 ffff88047c68c528 Call Trace: [<ffffffff8123fb77>] kobject_add_internal+0xe7/0x1f0 [<ffffffff8123fd98>] kobject_add_varg+0x38/0x60 [<ffffffff8123feb9>] kobject_add+0x69/0x90 [<ffffffff8116efe0>] ? sysfs_remove_dir+0x20/0xa0 [<ffffffff8103d48d>] ? sub_preempt_count+0x9d/0xe0 [<ffffffff8143de20>] ? _raw_spin_unlock+0x30/0x50 [<ffffffff8116efe0>] ? sysfs_remove_dir+0x20/0xa0 [<ffffffff8116eff4>] ? sysfs_remove_dir+0x34/0xa0 [<ffffffff81224204>] elv_register_queue+0x34/0xa0 [<ffffffff81224aad>] elevator_change+0xfd/0x250 [<ffffffffa007e000>] ? t_init+0x0/0x361 [t] [<ffffffffa007e000>] ? t_init+0x0/0x361 [t] [<ffffffffa007e0a8>] t_init+0xa8/0x361 [t] [<ffffffff810001de>] do_one_initcall+0x3e/0x170 [<ffffffff8108c3fd>] sys_init_module+0xbd/0x220 [<ffffffff81002f2b>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b Code: e5 41 56 41 55 41 54 49 89 fc 53 48 83 ec 10 48 85 ff 74 52 48 8b 47 18 49 c7 c5 00 46 61 81 48 85 c0 74 04 4c 8b 68 30 45 31 f6 <41> 80 7d 51 00 74 0e 49 8b 44 24 28 4c 89 e7 ff 50 20 49 89 c6 RIP [<ffffffff8116f15e>] sysfs_create_dir+0x2e/0xc0 RSP <ffff88027da25d08> CR2: 0000000000000051 ---[ end trace a6541d3bf07945df ]--- Fix this by adding a registered bit to the elevator queue, which is set when the sysfs kobjects have been registered.

Johannes Weiner authored
When marking an inode reclaimable, a per-AG counter is increased, the inode is tagged reclaimable in its per-AG tree, and, when this is the first reclaimable inode in the AG, the AG entry in the per-mount tree is also tagged. When an inode is finally reclaimed, however, it is only deleted from the per-AG tree. Neither the counter is decreased, nor is the parent tree's AG entry untagged properly. Since the tags in the per-mount tree are not cleared, the inode shrinker iterates over all AGs that have had reclaimable inodes at one point in time. The counters on the other hand signal an increasing amount of slab objects to reclaim. Since "70e60ce7 xfs: convert inode shrinker to per-filesystem context" this is not a real issue anymore because the shrinker bails out after one iteration. But the problem was observable on a machine running v2.6.34, where the reclaimable work increased and each process going into direct reclaim eventually got stuck on the xfs inode shrinking path, trying to scan several million objects. Fix this by properly unwinding the reclaimable-state tracking of an inode when it is reclaimed.

bitmap_start_sync returns - via a pass-by-reference variable - the number of sectors before we need to check with the bitmap again. Since commit ef425673 this number can be substantially larger, 2^27 is a common value. Unfortunately it is an 'int' and so when raid1.c:sync_request shifts it 9 places to the left it becomes 0. This results in a zero-length read which the scsi layer justifiably complains about. This patch just removes the shift so the common case becomes safe with a trivially-correct patch. In the next merge window we will convert this 'int' to a 'sector_t' Reported-by: "George Spelvin" <linux@horizon.com> Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

This fixes a race pointed out by Dave Airlie where we don't take a buffer object about to be destroyed off the LRU lists properly. It also fixes a rare case where a buffer object could be destroyed in the middle of an accelerated eviction. The patch also adds a utility function that can be used to prematurely release GPU memory space usage of an object waiting to be destroyed. For example during eviction or swapout. The above mentioned commit didn't queue the buffer on the delayed destroy list under some rare circumstances. It also didn't completely honor the remove_all parameter.

The "flags" member of "struct wait_queue_t" is used in several places in the kernel code without beeing initialized by init_wait(). "flags" is used in bitwise operations.

However, that whole conversion totally missed the rather obscure code that adds a new module to the list for BUG() handling. That code was doubly obscure because (a) the code itself lives in lib/bugs.c (for dubious reasons) and (b) it gets called from the architecture-specific "module_finalize()" rather than from generic code. Calling it from arch-specific code makes no sense what-so-ever to begin with, and is now actively wrong since that code isn't protected by the module loading lock any more. So this commit moves the "module_bug_{finalize,cleanup}()" calls away from the arch-specific code, and into the generic code - and in the process protects it with the module_mutex so that the list operations are now safe. Future fixups: - move the module list handling code into kernel/module.c where it belongs. - get rid of 'module_bug_list' and just use the regular list of modules (called 'modules' - imagine that) that we already create and maintain for other reasons.
