Rather than pass in some random truncated offset to the pid-related functions, check that the offset is in range up-front. This is just cleanup, the previous commit fixed the real problem. Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

next_pidmap() just quietly accepted whatever 'last' pid that was passed in, which is not all that safe when one of the users is /proc. Admittedly the proc code should do some sanity checking on the range (and that will be the next commit), but that doesn't mean that the helper functions should just do that pidmap pointer arithmetic without checking the range of its arguments. So clamp 'last' to PID_MAX_LIMIT. The fact that we then do "last+1" doesn't really matter, the for-loop does check against the end of the pidmap array properly (it's only the actual pointer arithmetic overflow case we need to worry about, and going one bit beyond isn't going to overflow).

The free space caching code was recently reworked to cache all the pages it needed instead of using find_get_page everywhere. One loop was missed though, so it ended up leaking pages. This fixes it to use our page array instead of find_get_page. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>

Eric B Munson authored
Because of speculative event roll back, it is possible for some event coutners to decrease between reads on POWER7. This causes a problem with the way that counters are updated. Delta calues are calculated in a 64 bit value and the top 32 bits are masked. If the register value has decreased, this leaves us with a very large positive value added to the kernel counters. This patch protects against this by skipping the update if the delta would be negative. This can lead to a lack of precision in the coutner values, but from my testing the value is typcially fewer than 10 samples at a time.

PAPR specifies that DTL buffers can not cross AMS environments (aka CMO in the PAPR) and can not cross a memory entitlement granule boundary (4k). This is found in section 14.11.3.2 H_REGISTER_VPA of the PAPR. kmalloc does not guarantee an alignment of the allocation, though, beyond 8 bytes (at least in my understanding). Create a special kmem cache for DTL buffers with the alignment requirement. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

Recent commit b987812b caused a compile failure on UP because a considerably large block of the file was included within CONFIG_SMP, hence making a stub function not exposed on UP builds when it needed to be. Relocate the stub to the #else /* ! CONFIG_SMP */ section and also annotate the relevant else/endif so that nobody else falls into the same trap I did.

Apparently some distros set i2c-algo-bit.bit_test to 1 by default. In some cases this causes i2c_bit_add_bus to fail and prevents the i2c bus from being added. In the radeon case, we fail to add the ddc i2c buses which prevents the driver from being able to detect attached monitors. The i2c bus works fine even if bit_test fails. This is likely due to gpio switching that is required and handled in the pre/post_xfer hooks, so call the pre/post_xfer hooks in the bit test as well.

It's a pretty close match to what we had before - the timer triggering would mean that nobody unplugged the plug in due time, in the new scheme this matches very closely what the schedule() unplug now is. It's essentially the difference between an explicit unplug (IO unplug) or an implicit unplug (timer unplug, we scheduled with pending IO queued). Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jaxboe@fusionio.com>

Linus correctly observes that the most important dispatch cases are now done from kblockd, this isn't ideal for latency reasons. The original reason for switching dispatches out-of-line was to avoid too deep a stack, so by _only_ letting the "accidental" flush directly in schedule() be guarded by offload to kblockd, we should be able to get the best of both worlds. So add a blk_schedule_flush_plug() that offloads to kblockd, and only use that from the schedule() path. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jaxboe@fusionio.com>

Everytime we try to allocate disk space we try and see if we can pre-emptively allocate a chunk, but in the common case we don't allocate anything, so there is no sense in taking the chunk_mutex at all. So instead if we are allocating a chunk, mark it in the space_info so we don't get two people trying to allocate at the same time.

This patch disables GartTlbWlk errors on AMD Fam10h CPUs if the BIOS forgets to do is (or is just too old). Letting these errors enabled can cause a sync-flood on the CPU causing a reboot.

During RCU walk in path_lookupat and path_openat, the rcu lookup frequently failed if looking up an absolute path, because when root directory was looked up, seq number was not properly set in nameidata. We dropped out of RCU walk in nameidata_drop_rcu due to mismatch in directory entry's seq number. We reverted to slow path walk that need to take references. With the following patch, I saw a 50% increase in an exim mail server benchmark throughput on a 4-socket Nehalem-EX system.

find_free_extent likes to allocate in contiguous clusters, which makes writeback faster, especially on SSD storage. As the FS fragments, these clusters become harder to find and we have to decide between allocating a new chunk to make more clusters or giving up on the cluster to allocate from the free space we have. Right now it creates too many chunks, and you can end up with a whole FS that is mostly empty metadata chunks. This commit changes the allocation code to be more strict and only allocate new chunks when we've made good use of the chunks we already have. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
