Commit 79dfdacc ("memcg: make oom_lock 0 and 1 based rather than counter") tried to oom lock the hierarchy and roll back upon encountering an already locked memcg. The code is confused when it comes to detecting a locked memcg, though, so it would fail and rollback after locking one memcg and encountering an unlocked second one. The result is that oom-locking hierarchies fails unconditionally and that every oom killer invocation simply goes to sleep on the oom waitqueue forever. The tasks practically hang forever without anyone intervening, possibly holding locks that trip up unrelated tasks, too. Signed-off-by:

Replace/remove use of RIO v.1.2 registers/bits that are not forward-compatible with newer versions of RapidIO specification. RapidIO specification v.1.3 removed Write Port CSR, Doorbell CSR, Mailbox CSR and Mailbox and Doorbell bits of the PEF CAR. Use of removed (since RIO v.1.3) register bits affects users of currently available 1.3 and 2.x compliant devices who may use not so recent kernel versions. Removing checks for unsupported bits makes corresponding routines compatible with all versions of RapidIO specification. Therefore, backporting makes stable kernel versions compliant with RIO v.1.3 and later as well. Signed-off-by:

ZONE_CONGESTED is only cleared in kswapd, but pages can be freed in any task. It's possible ZONE_CONGESTED isn't cleared in some cases: 1. the zone is already balanced just entering balance_pgdat() for order-0 because concurrent tasks free memory. In this case, later check will skip the zone as it's balanced so the flag isn't cleared. 2. high order balance fallbacks to order-0. quote from Mel: At the end of balance_pgdat(), kswapd uses the following logic; If reclaiming at high order { for each zone { if all_unreclaimable skip if watermark is not met order = 0 loop again /* watermark is met */ clear congested } } i.e. it clears ZONE_CONGESTED if it the zone is balanced. if not, it restarts balancing at order-0. However, if the higher zones are balanced for order-0, kswapd will miss clearing ZONE_CONGESTED as that only happens after a zone is shrunk. This can mean that wait_iff_congested() stalls unnecessarily. This patch makes kswapd clear ZONE_CONGESTED during its initial highmem->dma scan for zones that are already balanced.

It seems that 7bf69395 ("console: allow to retain boot console via boot option keep_bootcon") doesn't always achieve what it aims, as when printk_late_init() runs it unconditionally turns off all boot consoles. With this patch, I am able to see more messages on the boot console in KVM guests than I can without, when keep_bootcon is specified. I think it is appropriate for the relevant -stable trees. However, it's more of an annoyance than a serious bug (ideally you don't need to keep the boot console around as console handover should be working -- I was encountering a situation where the console handover wasn't working and not having the boot console available meant I couldn't see why).

Commit d1a05b69 ("memcg do not try to drain per-cpu caches without pages") added a drain_local_stock() call to a preemptible section. The draining task looks up the cpu-local stock twice to set the draining-flag, then to drain the stock and clear the flag again. If the task is migrated to a different CPU in between, noone will clear the flag on the first stock and it will be forever undrainable. Its charge can not be recovered and the cgroup can not be deleted anymore. Properly pin the task to the executing CPU while draining stocks. Signed-off-by:

Purely in-memory filesystems do not use the inode hash as the dcache tells us if an entry already exists. As a result, they do not call unlock_new_inode, and thus directory inodes do not get put into a different lockdep class for i_sem. We need the different lockdep classes, because the locking order for i_mutex is different for directory inodes and regular inodes. Directory inodes can do "readdir()", which takes i_mutex *before* possibly taking mm->mmap_sem (due to a page fault while copying the directory entry to user space). In contrast, regular inodes can be mmap'ed, which takes mm->mmap_sem before accessing i_mutex. The two cases can never happen for the same inode, so no real deadlock can occur, but without the different lockdep classes, lockdep cannot understand that. As a result, if CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC is set, this can lead to false positives from lockdep like below: find/645 is trying to acquire lock: (&mm->mmap_sem){++++++}, at: [<ffffffff81109514>] might_fault+0x5c/0xac but task is already holding lock: (&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#15){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff81149f34>] vfs_readdir+0x5b/0xb4 which lock already depends on the new lock. the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is: -> #1 (&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#15){+.+.+.}: [<ffffffff8108ac26>] lock_acquire+0xbf/0x103 [<ffffffff814db822>] __mutex_lock_common+0x4c/0x361 [<ffffffff814dbc46>] mutex_lock_nested+0x40/0x45 [<ffffffff811daa87>] hugetlbfs_file_mmap+0x82/0x110 [<ffffffff81111557>] mmap_region+0x258/0x432 [<ffffffff811119dd>] do_mmap_pgoff+0x2ac/0x306 [<ffffffff81111b4f>] sys_mmap_pgoff+0x118/0x16a [<ffffffff8100c858>] sys_mmap+0x22/0x24 [<ffffffff814e3ec2>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b -> #0 (&mm->mmap_sem){++++++}: [<ffffffff8108a4bc>] __lock_acquire+0xa1a/0xcf7 [<ffffffff8108ac26>] lock_acquire+0xbf/0x103 [<ffffffff81109541>] might_fault+0x89/0xac [<ffffffff81149cff>] filldir+0x6f/0xc7 [<ffffffff811586ea>] dcache_readdir+0x67/0x205 [<ffffffff81149f54>] vfs_readdir+0x7b/0xb4 [<ffffffff8114a073>] sys_getdents+0x7e/0xd1 [<ffffffff814e3ec2>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b This patch moves the directory vs file lockdep annotation into a helper function that can be called by in-memory filesystems and has hugetlbfs call it.

I ran into a couple of programs which broke with the new Linux 3.0 version. Some of those were binary only. I tried to use LD_PRELOAD to work around it, but it was quite difficult and in one case impossible because of a mix of 32bit and 64bit executables. For example, all kind of management software from HP doesnt work, unless we pretend to run a 2.6 kernel. $ uname -a Linux svivoipvnx001 3.0.0-08107-g97cd98f #1062 SMP Fri Aug 12 18:11:45 CEST 2011 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux $ hpacucli ctrl all show Error: No controllers detected. $ rpm -qf /usr/sbin/hpacucli hpacucli-8.75-12.0 Another notable case is that Python now reports "linux3" from sys.platform(); which in turn can break things that were checking sys.platform() == "linux2": https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=664564 It seems pretty clear to me though it's a bug in the apps that are using '==' instead of .startswith(), but this allows us to unbreak broken programs. This patch adds a UNAME26 personality that makes the kernel report a 2.6.40+x version number instead. The x is the x in 3.x. I know this is somewhat ugly, but I didn't find a better workaround, and compatibility to existing programs is important. Some programs also read /proc/sys/kernel/osrelease. This can be worked around in user space with mount --bind (and a mount namespace) To use: wget ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/ak/uname26/uname26.c gcc -o uname26 uname26.c ./uname26 program Signed-off-by:

In commit a144c6a6 ("PM: Print a warning if firmware is requested when tasks are frozen") we not only printed a warning if somebody tried to load the firmware when tasks are frozen - we also failed the load. But that check was done before the check for built-in firmware, and then when we disallowed usermode helpers during bootup (commit 288d5abe: "Boot up with usermodehelper disabled"), that actually means that built-in modules can no longer load their firmware even if the firmware is built in too. Which used to work, and some people depended on it for the R100 driver. So move the test for usermodehelper_is_disabled() down, to after checking the built-in firmware. This should fix: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40952Reported-by:

When we enter a 32-bit system call via SYSENTER or SYSCALL, we shuffle the arguments to match the int $0x80 calling convention. This was probably a design mistake, but it's what it is now. This causes errors if the system call as to be restarted. For SYSENTER, we have to invoke the instruction from the vdso as the return address is hardcoded. Accordingly, we can simply replace the jump in the vdso with an int $0x80 instruction and use the slower entry point for a post-restart. Suggested-by:

This reverts commit adf6e079. Remove system PM methods which can race with runtime PM methods. Also, as of v3.1, the PM domain level code for OMAP handles device power state transistions automatically for devices, so drivers no longer need to specifically call the bus/pm_domain methods themselves.
