Revert commit 85e72aa5 ("proc: clear_refs: do not clear reserved pages"), which was a quick fix suitable for -stable until ARM had been moved over to the gate_vma mechanism: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/1/14/55 With commit f9d4861f ("ARM: 7294/1: vectors: use gate_vma for vectors user mapping"), ARM does now use the gate_vma, so the PageReserved check can be removed from the proc code.

This fixes the below reported false lockdep warning. e096d0c7 ("lockdep: Add helper function for dir vs file i_mutex annotation") added a similar annotation for every other inode in hugetlbfs but missed the root inode because it was allocated by a separate function. For HugeTLB fs we allow taking i_mutex in mmap. HugeTLB fs doesn't support file write and its file read callback is modified in a05b0855 ("hugetlbfs: avoid taking i_mutex from hugetlbfs_read()") to not take i_mutex. Hence for HugeTLB fs with regular files we really don't take i_mutex with mmap_sem held. ====================================================== [ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ] 3.4.0-rc1+ #322 Not tainted ------------------------------------------------------- bash/1572 is trying to acquire lock: (&mm->mmap_sem){++++++}, at: [<ffffffff810f1618>] might_fault+0x40/0x90 but task is already holding lock: (&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#12){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff81125f88>] vfs_readdir+0x56/0xa8 which lock already depends on the new lock. the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is: -> #1 (&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#12){+.+.+.}: [<ffffffff810a09e5>] lock_acquire+0xd5/0xfa [<ffffffff816a2f5e>] __mutex_lock_common+0x48/0x350 [<ffffffff816a3325>] mutex_lock_nested+0x2a/0x31 [<ffffffff811fb8e1>] hugetlbfs_file_mmap+0x7d/0x104 [<ffffffff810f859a>] mmap_region+0x272/0x47d [<ffffffff810f8a39>] do_mmap_pgoff+0x294/0x2ee [<ffffffff810f8b65>] sys_mmap_pgoff+0xd2/0x10e [<ffffffff8103d19e>] sys_mmap+0x1d/0x1f [<ffffffff816a5922>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b -> #0 (&mm->mmap_sem){++++++}: [<ffffffff810a0256>] __lock_acquire+0xa81/0xd75 [<ffffffff810a09e5>] lock_acquire+0xd5/0xfa [<ffffffff810f1645>] might_fault+0x6d/0x90 [<ffffffff81125d62>] filldir+0x6a/0xc2 [<ffffffff81133a83>] dcache_readdir+0x5c/0x222 [<ffffffff81125fa8>] vfs_readdir+0x76/0xa8 [<ffffffff811260b6>] sys_getdents+0x79/0xc9 [<ffffffff816a5922>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b other info that might help us debug this: Possible unsafe locking scenario: CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- lock(&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#12); lock(&mm->mmap_sem); lock(&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#12); lock(&mm->mmap_sem); *** DEADLOCK *** 1 lock held by bash/1572: #0: (&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#12){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff81125f88>] vfs_readdir+0x56/0xa8 stack backtrace: Pid: 1572, comm: bash Not tainted 3.4.0-rc1+ #322 Call Trace: [<ffffffff81699a3c>] print_circular_bug+0x1f8/0x209 [<ffffffff810a0256>] __lock_acquire+0xa81/0xd75 [<ffffffff810f38aa>] ? handle_pte_fault+0x5ff/0x614 [<ffffffff8109e622>] ? mark_lock+0x2d/0x258 [<ffffffff810f1618>] ? might_fault+0x40/0x90 [<ffffffff810a09e5>] lock_acquire+0xd5/0xfa [<ffffffff810f1618>] ? might_fault+0x40/0x90 [<ffffffff816a3249>] ? __mutex_lock_common+0x333/0x350 [<ffffffff810f1645>] might_fault+0x6d/0x90 [<ffffffff810f1618>] ? might_fault+0x40/0x90 [<ffffffff81125d62>] filldir+0x6a/0xc2 [<ffffffff81133a83>] dcache_readdir+0x5c/0x222 [<ffffffff81125cf8>] ? sys_ioctl+0x74/0x74 [<ffffffff81125cf8>] ? sys_ioctl+0x74/0x74 [<ffffffff81125cf8>] ? sys_ioctl+0x74/0x74 [<ffffffff81125fa8>] vfs_readdir+0x76/0xa8 [<ffffffff811260b6>] sys_getdents+0x79/0xc9 [<ffffffff816a5922>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b Signed-off-by: Aneesh Kumar K.V <aneesh.kumar@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com> Cc: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Cc: Josh Boyer <jwboyer@redhat.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Mimi Zohar <zohar@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Due to new supported hardware, of which the actual temperature limits of processor, harddisk and other components are unknown, it feels safer with lower fanon / fanoff settings. It won't change much for most people, already using acerhdf, as they use their own fanon/fanoff variable settings when loading the module. Furthermore seems like kernel and userspace tools have been improved to work more efficient and netbooks don't get so hot anymore.

Glauber Costa authored
While stressing the kernel with with failing allocations today, I hit the following chain of events: alloc_page_buffers(): bh = alloc_buffer_head(GFP_NOFS); if (!bh) goto no_grow; <= path taken grow_dev_page(): bh = alloc_page_buffers(page, size, 0); if (!bh) goto failed; <= taken, consequence of the above and then the failed path BUG()s the kernel. The failure is inserted a litte bit artificially, but even then, I see no reason why it should be deemed impossible in a real box. Even though this is not a condition that we expect to see around every time, failed allocations are expected to be handled, and BUG() sounds just too much. As a matter of fact, grow_dev_page() can return NULL just fine in other circumstances, so I propose we just remove it, then.

The "pgsteal" stat is confusing because it counts both direct reclaim as well as background reclaim. However, we have "kswapd_steal" which also counts background reclaim value.

The comments above __alloc_bootmem_node() claim that the code will first try the allocation using 'goal' and if that fails it will try again but with the 'goal' requirement dropped. Unfortunately, this is not what the code does, so fix it to do so. This is important for nobootmem conversions to architectures such as sparc where MAX_DMA_ADDRESS is infinity. On such architectures all of the allocations done by generic spots, such as the sparse-vmemmap implementation, will pass in: __pa(MAX_DMA_ADDRESS) as the goal, and with the limit given as "-1" this will always fail unless we add the appropriate fallback logic here.

This patch instructs DLM to prevent an "in place" conversion, where the lock just stays on the granted queue, and instead forces the conversion to the back of the convert queue. This is done on upward conversions only. This is useful in cases where, for example, a lock is frequently needed in PR on one node, but another node needs it temporarily in EX to update it. This may happen, for example, when the rindex is being updated by gfs2_grow. The gfs2_grow needs to have the lock in EX, but the other nodes need to re-read it to retrieve the updates. The glock is already granted in PR on the non-growing nodes, so this prevents them from continually re-granting the lock in PR, and forces the EX from gfs2_grow to go through.

Mel reports a BUG_ON(slot == NULL) in radix_tree_tag_set() on s390 3.0.13: called from __set_page_dirty_nobuffers() when page_remove_rmap() tries to transfer dirty flag from s390 storage key to struct page and radix_tree. That would be because of reclaim's shrink_page_list() calling add_to_swap() on this page at the same time: first PageSwapCache is set (causing page_mapping(page) to appear as &swapper_space), then page->private set, then tree_lock taken, then page inserted into radix_tree - so there's an interval before taking the lock when the radix_tree slot is empty. We could fix this by moving __add_to_swap_cache()'s spin_lock_irq up before the SetPageSwapCache. But a better fix is simply to do what's five years overdue: Ken Chen introduced __set_page_dirty_no_writeback() (if !PageDirty TestSetPageDirty) for tmpfs to skip all the radix_tree overhead, and swap is just the same - it ignores the radix_tree tag, and does not participate in dirty page accounting, so should be using __set_page_dirty_no_writeback() too. s390 testing now confirms that this does indeed fix the problem.

Provide the proper override macros for x32 siginfo_t. The combination of a special type here and an overall alignment constraint actually ends up with all the types being properly aligned, but the hack is needed to keep the substructures inside siginfo_t from adding padding.

commit c744a65c md: don't set md arrays to readonly on shutdown. removed the possibility of a 'BUG' when data is written to an array that has just been switched to read-only, but also introduced the possibility that the array metadata could be corrupted. If, when md_notify_reboot gets the mddev lock, the array is in a state where it is assembled but hasn't been started (as can happen if the personality module is not available, or in other unusual situations), then incorrect metadata will be written out making it impossible to re-assemble the array. So only call __md_stop_writes() if the array has actually been activated. This patch is needed for any stable kernel which has had the above commit applied.

Commit 7bfec5f3 md/raid5: If there is a spare and a want_replacement device, start replacement. cause md_check_recovery to call ->add_disk much more often. Instead of only when the array is degraded, it is now called whenever md_check_recovery finds anything useful to do, which includes updating the metadata for clean<->dirty transition. This causes unnecessary work, and causes info messages from ->add_disk to be reported much too often. So refine md_check_recovery to only do any actual recovery checking (including ->add_disk) if MD_RECOVERY_NEEDED is set.

For the particular issue of x32, which shares code with i386 in the handling of compat_siginfo_t, the use of a 64-bit clock_t bumps the sigchld structure out of alignment, which triggers a messy cascade of padding. This was already handled on the kernel compat side, but it needs handling on the user space side, which uses the generic header. To make that possible: 1. Allow __kernel_clock_t to be overridden in struct siginfo; 2. Allow there to be attributes added to struct siginfo. Reported-by: H.J. Lu <hjl.rools@gmail.com> Cc: Bruce J.

The updated x32 psABI: https://sites.google.com/site/x32abi/documents definse _ILP32 and __ILP32__ for x32. GCC trunk and 4.7 branch have been updated to define _ILP32 and __ILP32__ for x32.

With commit a2ef5c4f "ACPI: Move module parameter gts and bfs to sleep.c" the wake_sleep_flags is required when calling acpi_enter_sleep_state. The assembler code in wakeup_*.S did not do that. One solution is to call it from assembler and stick the wake_sleep_flags on the stack (for 32-bit) or in %esi (for 64-bit). hpa and rafael both suggested however to create a wrapper function to call acpi_enter_sleep_state and call said wrapper function ("acpi_enter_s3") from assembler. For 32-bit, the acpi_enter_s3 ends up looking as so: push %ebp mov %esp,%ebp sub $0x8,%esp movzbl 0xc1809314,%eax [wake_sleep_flags] movl $0x3,(%esp) mov %eax,0x4(%esp) call 0xc12d1fa0 <acpi_enter_sleep_state> leave ret And 64-bit: movzbl 0x9afde1(%rip),%esi [wake_sleep_flags] push %rbp mov $0x3,%edi mov %rsp,%rbp callq 0xffffffff812e9800 <acpi_enter_sleep_state> leaveq retq Reviewed-by: H.
