* 'for-linus' of git://neil.brown.name/md: md/bitmap: It is OK to clear bits during recovery. md: don't give up looking for spares on first failure-to-add md/raid5: ensure correct assessment of drives during degraded reshape. md/linear: fix hot-add of devices to linear arrays.

commit d0a4bb49 introduced a regression which is annoying but fairly harmless. When writing to an array that is undergoing recovery (a spare in being integrated into the array), writing to the array will set bits in the bitmap, but they will not be cleared when the write completes. For bits covering areas that have not been recovered yet this is not a problem as the recovery will clear the bits. However bits set in already-recovered region will stay set and never be cleared. This doesn't risk data integrity. The only negatives are: - next time there is a crash, more resyncing than necessary will be done. - the bitmap doesn't look clean, which is confusing. While an array is recovering we don't want to update the 'events_cleared' setting in the bitmap but we do still want to clear bits that have very recently been set - providing they were written to the recovering device. So split those two needs - which previously both depended on 'success' and always clear the bit of the write went to all devices. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

Before performing a recovery we try to remove any spares that might not be working, then add any that might have become relevant. Currently we abort on the first spare that cannot be added. This is a false optimisation. It is conceivable that - depending on rules in the personality - a subsequent spare might be accepted. Also the loop does other things like count the available spares and reset the 'recovery_offset' value. If we abort early these might not happen properly. So remove the early abort. In particular if you have an array what is undergoing recovery and which has extra spares, then the recovery may not restart after as reboot as the could of 'spares' might end up as zero.

While reshaping a degraded array (as when reshaping a RAID0 by first converting it to a degraded RAID4) we currently get confused about which devices are in_sync. In most cases we get it right, but in the region that is being reshaped we need to treat non-failed devices as in-sync when we have the data but haven't actually written it out yet.

commit d70ed2e4 broke hot-add to a linear array. After that commit, metadata if not written to devices until they have been fully integrated into the array as determined by saved_raid_disk. That patch arranged to clear that field after a recovery completed. However for linear arrays, there is no recovery - the integration is instantaneous. So we need to explicitly clear the saved_raid_disk field. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

Commit 2c8cec5c (ipv4: Cache learned PMTU information in inetpeer) removed IP route cache garbage collector a bit too soon, as this gc was responsible for expired routes cleanup, releasing their neighbour reference. As pointed out by Robert Gladewitz, recent kernels can fill and exhaust their neighbour cache. Reintroduce the garbage collection, since we'll have to wait our neighbour lookups become refcount-less to not depend on this stuff.

previous commit 3fb72f1e makes IP-Config wait for carrier on at least one network device. Before waiting (predefined value 120s), check that at least one device was successfully brought up. Otherwise (e.g. buggy bootloader which does not set the MAC address) there is no point in waiting for carrier.

When checking whether a DATA chunk fits into the estimated rwnd a full sizeof(struct sk_buff) is added to the needed chunk size. This quickly exhausts the available rwnd space and leads to packets being sent which are much below the PMTU limit. This can lead to much worse performance. The reason for this behaviour was to avoid putting too much memory pressure on the receiver. The concept is not completely irational because a Linux receiver does in fact clone an skb for each DATA chunk delivered. However, Linux also reserves half the available socket buffer space for data structures therefore usage of it is already accounted for. When proposing to change this the last time it was noted that this behaviour was introduced to solve a performance issue caused by rwnd overusage in combination with small DATA chunks. Trying to reproduce this I found that with the sk_buff overhead removed, the performance would improve significantly unless socket buffer limits are increased. The following numbers have been gathered using a patched iperf supporting SCTP over a live 1 Gbit ethernet network. The -l option was used to limit DATA chunk sizes. The numbers listed are based on the average of 3 test runs each. Default values have been used for sk_(r|w)mem.

binary_sysctl() calls sysctl_getname() which allocates from names_cache slab usin __getname() The matching function to free the name is __putname(), and not putname() which should be used only to match getname() allocations. This is because when auditing is enabled, putname() calls audit_putname *instead* (not in addition) to __putname(). Then, if a syscall is in progress, audit_putname does not release the name - instead, it expects the name to get released when the syscall completes, but that will happen only if audit_getname() was called previously, i.e. if the name was allocated with getname() rather than the naked __getname(). So, __getname() followed by putname() ends up leaking memory.

An integer overflow will happen on 64bit archs if task's sum of rss, swapents and nr_ptes exceeds (2^31)/1000 value. This was introduced by commit f755a042 oom: use pte pages in OOM score where the oom score computation was divided into several steps and it's no longer computed as one expression in unsigned long(rss, swapents, nr_pte are unsigned long), where the result value assigned to points(int) is in range(1..1000). So there could be an int overflow while computing 176 points *= 1000; and points may have negative value. Meaning the oom score for a mem hog task will be one. 196 if (points <= 0) 197 return 1; For example: [ 3366] 0 3366 35390480 24303939 5 0 0 oom01 Out of memory: Kill process 3366 (oom01) score 1 or sacrifice child Here the oom1 process consumes more than 24303939(rss)*4096~=92GB physical memory, but it's oom score is one. In this situation the mem hog task is skipped and oom killer kills another and most probably innocent task with oom score greater than one. The points variable should be of type long instead of int to prevent the int overflow.
