The rcu page table free code uses a couple of bits in the page table pointer passed to tlb_remove_table to discern the different page table types. __tlb_remove_table extracts the type with an incorrect mask which leads to memory leaks. The correct mask is ((FRAG_MASK << 4) | FRAG_MASK). Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>

git commit 5e9a2692 "[S390] ptrace cleanup" introduced a regression for the case when both a user PER set (e.g. a storage alteration trace) and PTRACE_SINGLESTEP are active. The new code will overrule the user PER set with a instruction-fetch PER set over the whole address space for ptrace single stepping. The inferior process will be stopped after each instruction with an instruction fetch event. Any other events that may have occurred concurrently are not reported (e.g. storage alteration event) because the control bits for them are not set. The solution is to merge the PER control bits of the user PER set with the PER_EVENT_IFETCH control bit for PTRACE_SINGLESTEP.

In setlease, we use i_writecount to decide whether we can give out a read lease. In open, we break leases before incrementing i_writecount. There is therefore a window between the break lease and the i_writecount increment when setlease could add a new read lease. This would leave us with a simultaneous write open and read lease, which shouldn't happen. Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>

The i_mutex lock use of generic _file_llseek hurts. Independent processes accessing the same file synchronize over a single lock, even though they have no need for synchronization at all. Under high utilization this can cause llseek to scale very poorly on larger systems. This patch does some rethinking of the llseek locking model: First the 64bit f_pos is not necessarily atomic without locks on 32bit systems. This can already cause races with read() today. This was discussed on linux-kernel in the past and deemed acceptable. The patch does not change that. Let's look at the different seek variants: SEEK_SET: Doesn't really need any locking. If there's a race one writer wins, the other loses. For 32bit the non atomic update races against read() stay the same. Without a lock they can also happen against write() now. The read() race was deemed acceptable in past discussions, and I think if it's ok for read it's ok for write too. => Don't need a lock. SEEK_END: This behaves like SEEK_SET plus it reads the maximum size too. Reading the maximum size would have the 32bit atomic problem. But luckily we already have a way to read the maximum size without locking (i_size_read), so we can just use that instead. Without i_mutex there is no synchronization with write() anymore, however since the write() update is atomic on 64bit it just behaves like another racy SEEK_SET. On non atomic 32bit it's the same as SEEK_SET. => Don't need a lock, but need to use i_size_read() SEEK_CUR: This has a read-modify-write race window on the same file. One could argue that any application doing unsynchronized seeks on the same file is already broken. But for the sake of not adding a regression here I'm using the file->f_lock to synchronize this. Using this lock is much better than the inode mutex because it doesn't synchronize between processes. => So still need a lock, but can use a f_lock. This patch implements this new scheme in generic_file_llseek. I dropped generic_file_llseek_unlocked and changed all callers.

Add inlines to all the submission path functions. While this increases code size it also gives gcc a lot of optimization opportunities in this critical hotpath. In particular -- together with some other changes -- this allows gcc to get rid of the unnecessary clearing of sdio at the beginning and optimize the messy parameter passing. Any non inlining of a function which takes a sdio parameter would break this optimization because they cannot be done if the address of a structure is taken. Note that benefits are only seen with CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING and CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE both set to off. This gives about 2.2% improvement on a large database benchmark with a high IOPS rate.

Only a single b_private field in the map_bh buffer head is needed after the submission path. Move map_bh separately to avoid storing this information in the long term slab.

A direct slab call is slightly faster than kmalloc and can be better cached per CPU. It also avoids rounding to the next kmalloc slab.

This large, but largely mechanic, patch moves all fields in struct dio that are only used in the submission path into a separate on stack data structure. This has the advantage that the memory is very likely cache hot, which is not guaranteed for memory fresh out of kmalloc. This also gives gcc more optimization potential because it can easier determine that there are no external aliases for these variables. The sdio initialization is a initialization now instead of memset. This allows gcc to break sdio into individual fields and optimize away unnecessary zeroing (after all the functions are inlined) Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Acked-by: Jeff Moyer <jmoyer@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>

We need to move the inode to the end of the list to actually make the spinning prevention explained in the comment above it work. With a plain list_move it will simply stay in place as we're always reclaiming from the head of the list. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>

This was found by inspection while tracking a similar bug in compat_statfs64, that has been fixed in mainline since decemeber. - This fixes a bug where not all of the f_spare fields were cleared on mips and s390. - Add the f_flags field to struct compat_statfs - Copy f_flags to userspace in case someone cares. - Use __clear_user to copy the f_spare field to userspace to ensure that all of the elements of f_spare are cleared. On some architectures f_spare is has 5 ints and on some architectures f_spare only has 4 ints. Which makes the previous technique of clearing each int individually broken. I don't expect anyone actually uses the old statfs system call anymore but if they do let them benefit from having the compat and the native version working the same. Signed-off-by: Eric W.
