An acct flag was added to do_munmap, true everywhere but in mremap's move_vma: instead of updating the arch and driver sources, revert that that change and temporarily mask VM_ACCOUNT around that one do_munmap. Also, noticed that do_mremap fails needlessly if both shrinking _and_ moving a mapping: update old_len to pass vm area boundaries test.

If we support mmap MAP_NORESERVE, we should support it on shared anonymous objects: too bad that needs a few changes. do_mmap_pgoff pass VM_ACCOUNT (or not) down to shmem_file_setup, flag stored into shmem info, for use by shmem_delete_inode later. Also removed a harmless but pointless call to shmem_truncate.

Update Doc and remove FIXME comment from fork.c now accounting right.

do_mmap_pgoff's (file == NULL) check was incorrect: it caused shared MAP_ANONYMOUS objects to be counted twice (again in shmem_file_setup), and again on fork(); whereas the equivalent shared /dev/zero objects were correctly counted. Conversely, a private readonly file mapping was (correctly) not counted, but still not counted when mprotected to writable: mprotect_fixup had pointless "charged = 0" changes, now it does vm_enough_memory checking when private is first made writable (but later we may want to refine behaviour on a noreserve mapping). Also changed correct (flags & MAP_SHARED) test in do_mmap_pgoff to equivalent (vm_flags & VM_SHARED) test: because do_mmap_pgoff is dealing with vm_flags rather than the input flags by that stage.

Remove vm_unacct_vma function: it's only used in one place, which can do it better by using vm_unacct_memory directly.

do_mmap_pgoff clears MAP_NORESERVE from vm_flags when VM accounts strictly: but it's not in vm_flags, it's in flags (and tested there).

There is no point in do_mremap clearing MAP_NORESERVE from its flags: it has already validated that only the MREMAP_ flags can be set, and it has no use for MAP_NORESERVE in the code that follows anyway.

shmem_notify_change and shmem_file_write be careful about overflowingly large loff_t before shifting it into unsigned long for vm_enough_memory. Rename SHMEM_MAX_BLOCKS to SHMEM_MAX_INDEX (to avoid confusion with 512-byte blocks), define SHMEM_MAX_BYTES from it. But 2.5 vmtruncate lacked the s_maxbytes error handling which shmem_notify_change now expects: bring it in from the -dj tree. shmem_file_write error handling needs a closer look later on.

Repeated overnight kernel builds in tmpfs showed insane Committed_AS by morning. The main bug was that shmem_file_write was passing (newsize-oldsize)>>PAGE_SHIFT to vm_enough_memory, but it has to be ((newsize>>PAGE_SHIFT)-(oldsize>>PAGE_SHIFT)) - imagine 1k writes. But actually, if we're going to do strict accounting, then we should round up to next page not down - use VM_ACCT macro throughout (needs unusual mix of PAGE_CACHE_SIZE with PAGE_SHIFT); and must count one page for a long symlink.

Currently there is no way to find out the effective object size of a slab cache. XFS has lots of IRIX-derived code that want to do zalloc() style allocations on zones (which are implemented as slab caches in XFS/Linux) and thus needs to know about it. There are three ways do implement it: a) implement kmem_cache_zalloc b) make the xfs zone a struct of kmem_cache_t and a size variable c) implement kmem_cache_size The current XFS tree does a) but I absolutely don't like it as encourages people to use kmem_cache_zalloc for new code instead of thinking about how to utilize slab object reuse. b) would be easy, but I guess kmem_cache_size is usefull enough to get into the kernel. Here's the patch:

I found a situation where page->index for a pagetable page can be set to 0 instead of the correct value. This means that ptep_to_address will return the wrong answer. The problem occurs when remap_pmd_range calls pte_alloc_map and pte_alloc_map needs to allocate a new pte page, because remap_pmd_range has masked off the top bits of the address (to avoid overflow in the computation of `end'), and it passes the masked address to pte_alloc_map. Now we presumably don't need to get from the physical pages mapped by remap_page_range back to the ptes mapping them. But we could easily map some normal pages using ptes in that pagetable page subsequently, and when we call ptep_to_address on their ptes it will give the wrong answer. The patch below fixes the problem. There is a more general question this brings up - some of the procedures which iterate over ranges of ptes will do the wrong thing if the end of the address range is too close to ~0UL, while others are OK. Is this a problem in practice? On i386, ppc, and the 64-bit architectures it isn't since user addresses can't go anywhere near ~0UL, but what about arm or m68k for instance? And BTW, being able to go from a pte pointer to the mm and virtual address that that pte maps is an extremely useful thing on ppc, since it will enable me to do MMU hash-table management at set_pte (and ptep_*) time and thus avoid the extra traversal of the pagetables that I am currently doing in flush_tlb_*. So if you do decide to back out rmap, please leave in the hooks for setting page->mapping and page->index on pagetable pages.

include/linux/timer.h needs to include <linux/stddef.h> to get the definition of NULL.

linux-2.5.28/drivers/block_dev.c has a new do_open that broke initial ramdisk support, because it now requires devices that "manually" set bdev->bd_openers to set bdev->bd_inode->i_size as well. The following single line patch, suggested by Russell King, fixes the problem. There does not appear to be anyone acting as maintainer for rd.c, so I posted to lkml yesterday to ask if anyone objected to my submitting the patch to you, and I also emailed the message to Russell King and Al Viro. Nobody has complained. I have been running the patch for almost a day without problems.

Al Viro pointed out there was a fair bit of redundancy here. We remove many include files from the serial layer, leaving those which are necessary for it to build. This has been posted to lkml, no one complained. This cset also combines a missing include of asm/io.h in 8250_pci.c (unfortunately I've lost the name of the reporter, sorry.)

jfs_rmdir and jfs_unlink have always called d_delete, but it hasn't caused a problem until 2.5.28. The call is an artifact of the 2.2 kernel, which had gone unnoticed in 2.4 and 2.5.

These were totally unused for a long time. It's interesting how many files include swapctl.h, though..

I did this ages ago but never submitted it because I never got round to testing it. I still haven't tested it, but it ought to work, and the code is definitely broken without it...

8250_pci.c contains some old compatibility cruft for when __devexit wasn't defined by the generic kernel. It is now, so it's gone.

I removed the PF_INVALIDATE debug check from buffercache leaks, too. It's non-functional - the flag should have been set across truncate_inode_pages(), not invalidate_inode_pages().

Modified the MODE_SENSE write-protect test in sd.c to issue a SCSI request with the request_bufflen the same size as the MODE_SENSE command being issued requests.

Fixed one of the INQUIRY commands used for probing SCSI devices. This badly-formed command was trapped by the usb-storage driver BUG_ON() which is designed to stop command with a badly formed transfer_length field.
