Let's lighten the global spinlock mmlist_lock. What's it for? 1. Its original role is to guard mmlist. 2. It later got a second role, to prevent get_task_mm from raising mm_users from the dead, just after it went down to 0. Firstly consider the second: __exit_mm sets tsk->mm NULL while holding task_lock before calling mmput; so mmlist_lock only guards against the exceptional case, of get_task_mm on a kernel workthread which did AIO's use_mm (which transiently sets its tsk->mm without raising mm_users) on an mm now exiting. Well, I don't think get_task_mm should succeed at all on use_mm tasks. It's mainly used by /proc/pid and ptrace, seems at best confusing for those to present the kernel thread as having a user mm, which it won't have a moment later. Define PF_BORROWED_MM, set in use_mm, clear in unuse_mm (though we could just leave it), get_task_mm give NULL if set. Secondly consider the first: and what's mmlist for? 1. Its original role was for swap_out to scan: rmap ended that in 2.5.27. 2. In 2.4.10 it got a second role, for try_to_unuse to scan for swapoff. So, make mmlist a list of mms which maybe have pages on swap: add mm to mmlist when first swap entry is assigned in try_to_unmap_one (pageout), or in copy_page_range (fork); and mmput remove it from mmlist as before, except usually list_empty and there's no need to lock. drain_mmlist added to swapoff, to empty out the mmlist if no swap is then in use. mmput leave mm on mmlist until after its exit_mmap, so try_to_unmap_one can still add mm to mmlist without worrying about the mm_users 0 case; but try_to_unuse must avoid the mm_users 0 case (when an mm might be removed from mmlist, and freed, while it's down in unuse_process): use atomic_inc_return now all architectures support that. Some of the detailed comments in try_to_unuse have grown out of date: updated and trimmed some, but leave SWAP_MAP_MAX for another occasion. Signed-off-by:

The low byte of FAT's first entry must have same value with media-field. So, I added that validity check for some case. In fact, in some case this check detected non-FAT filesystem. But in real world, unfortunately too many devices is writing a wrong value. This patch removes that validity check. Signed-off-by:

This patch fixes the race condition | fat_free | fat_get_cluster +------------------------------+----------------------- fat_cache_lookup() (get the copy of cache) fat_cache_inval_inode() (invalidate caches on inode) fat_cache_add() (update/add the getted cache) The above race has possible that invalidated cache is added. This patch fixes the race condition by adding the cache-id to copy of cache. Signed-off-by: -

This rewrites the cache stuff for file allocation table (FAT). This cache stocks the more pieces of FAT-chain by counting the number of contiguous data blocks. And if cache hit, since a block number can calculate without looking FAT-chain up, fat_get_block() become more fast. But if data blocks was fragmenting, unfortunately this cache is unuseful. read from block device [1st]# time dd if=/dev/hda6 of=/dev/null bs=1M count=2048 2147483648 bytes transferred in 229.524189 seconds (9356241 bytes/sec) real 3m49.557s, user 0m0.026s, sys 1m20.414s [2nd]# time dd if=/dev/hda6 of=/dev/null bs=1M count=2048 2147483648 bytes transferred in 229.539358 seconds (9355623 bytes/sec) real 3m49.647s, user 0m0.036s, sys 1m20.144s read from full contiguous file with this patch [1st]# time dd if=data of=/dev/null bs=1M count=2048 2147483648 bytes transferred in 337.959477 seconds (6354264 bytes/sec) real 5m37.970s, user 0m0.031s, sys 1m21.915s [2nd]# time dd if=data of=/dev/null bs=1M count=2048 2147483648 bytes transferred in 225.401699 seconds (9527362 bytes/sec) real 3m45.476s, user 0m0.027s, sys 1m19.286s read from full fragmented file with this patch [1st]# time dd if=data of=/dev/null bs=1M count=2048 2147483647 bytes transferred in 1146.529081 seconds (1873030 bytes/sec) real 19m6.538s, user 0m0.020s, sys 1m32.774s [2nd]# time dd if=data of=/dev/null bs=1M count=2048 2147483647 bytes transferred in 1045.084822 seconds (2054841 bytes/sec) real 17m25.152s, user 0m0.022s, sys 1m34.801s read from full contiguous file without this patch [1st]# time dd if=data of=/dev/null bs=1M count=2048 2147483648 bytes transferred in 348.144707 seconds (6168365 bytes/sec) real 5m48.169s, user 0m0.019s, sys 1m29.962s [2nd]# time dd if=data of=/dev/null bs=1M count=2048 2147483648 bytes transferred in 324.017361 seconds (6627681 bytes/sec) real 5m24.038s, user 0m0.023s, sys 1m20.602s read from full fragmented file without this patch [1st]# time dd if=data of=/dev/null bs=1M count=2048 2147483647 bytes transferred in 1156.845693 seconds (1856327 bytes/sec) real 19m16.855s, user 0m0.031s, sys 1m32.172s [2nd]# time dd if=data of=/dev/null bs=1M count=2048 2147483647 bytes transferred in 1066.518713 seconds (2013545 bytes/sec) real 17m46.526s, user 0m0.023s, sys 1m33.630s Signed-off-by:

Fix a bug that arch/x86_64/lib/copy_user:copy_user_generic will return a wrong value when exception happens. In the case the address is not 8-byte aligned (i.e. go into Lbad_alignment), if exception happens in Ls11, %rdx will be wrong number of copied bytes, then copy_user_generic returns wrong value. It also fixed a bug of zeroing wrong number of bytes of destination at this situation. (In Lzero_rest) Signed-off-by:

Originally suggested by Zwane Mwaikumbo Ignore all ACPI timer overrides on all Nvidia boards. The fallback doesn't work and no Nvidia boards needs a timer override. But some buggy BIOS have it anyways. Also enable IO-APIC mode by default for Nvidia then. Thanks to Andy Currid for confirming this. Signed-off-by:

x86-64 MP kernels always used HPET timing when available. This was done because AMD systems don't have synchronized TSCs in all cases. On Intel this is not true (except Summit), so use faster TSC timing for those. Also only enable HPET gettimeofday when there is more than one CPU online. Signed-off-by:

Suggested by Ingo Molnar. Drop APIC level workaround for old IO-APICs on x86-64 because it is a significant part of interrupt handling time. x86-64 only runs on modern chipsets that probably don't have this bug. Signed-off-by:

module_param_array() takes a variable to put the number of elements in. Looking through the uses, many people don't care, so they declare a dummy or share one variable between several parameters. The latter is problematic because sysfs uses that number to decide how many to display. The solution is to change the variable arg to a pointer, and if the pointer is NULL, use the "max" value. This change is fairly small, but fixing up the callers is a lot of (trivial) churn. Signed-off-by:

During peak utilization periods, the first interface on a node has an inordinately large amount of contention. This is due to all cpus starting their scan for an interface at 0.

If all bte interfaces are in use, the current code will leave the bte pointer set when exiting from the loop trying to locate an interface to use. This results in two processes using the same interface and both trying to free the same one. With a premptible kernel, this results in the preempt count getting off. Signed-off-by:
