I've been chasing a weird SELinux bug which shows up mostly when doing installs of a dev-* rpm (ie. creating and overwriting lots of block device inodes), but which I've also seen when doing mkinitrd. It turned out not to be an SELinux problem at all, but a core VFS S_ISBLK bug. It seems that SELinux simply widens the race window. The code at fault is fs/fs-writeback.c:__mark_inode_dirty(): /* * Only add valid (hashed) inodes to the superblock's * dirty list. Add blockdev inodes as well. */ if (!S_ISBLK(inode->i_mode)) { if (hlist_unhashed(&inode->i_hash)) goto out; if (inode->i_state & (I_FREEING|I_CLEAR)) goto out; } The "I_FREEING|I_CLEAR" condition was added after the ISBLK/unhashed tests were already in the source, but I can't see any reason why we'd want the I_FREEING test not to apply to block devices. And indeed, this results in all sorts of inode list corruptions. Simply moving the I_FREEING|I_CLEAR test out of the protection of the S_ISBLK() condition fixes things entirely. The existing 2.6 kernel will reliably fail on me in about 2 seconds once "rpm -Uvh --force dev*.rpm" starts its actual installation of the new inodes. With the patch below I can't reproduce it at all.

From: Roland McGrath <roland@redhat.com> The #include is the part of this patch that matters, so the #ifdef below works. The rest of the patch removes gratuitous duplication due to some strange aversion to concision in the presence of #ifdef, the kind that is all too common, utterly pointless, and error prone.

It failed for SP configurations and some SMP configurations where M-bricks used pxm numbers lower that the first c-brick. If we don't find the cpu for pxm, search the memblks for it.

From: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de> 2.6 imposes a 64 frame limit where 2.4 does not (just relies on kmalloc() failing and limiting frames from that). That breaks at least on guys app. With MSF adressing, it's much simpler to be able to ask for a full second at the time, so I think we should just allow that. So bump the limit from 64 to CD_FRAMES (which is 75).

From: Jake Moilanen <moilanen@austin.ibm.com> On a ppc64 logically partitioned system, there can be a setup where function 0 of a PCI-PCI bridge is assigned to one partition and (for example) function 2 is assigned to a second partition. On the second partition, it would appear that function 0 does not exist, but function 2 does. If all the functions are not scanned, everything under function 2 would not be detected. This patch allows devices that don't respond to function 0, but do respond to other functions to be marked with a quirk and have all of their functions scanned.

From: Jack Steiner <steiner@sgi.com> The cpu_vm_mask use to be close to the mmu_context_t field in the mm struct. Recently some large members were added between "cpu_vm_mask" and "context". I suspect that was an oversight. Here is a patch that puts the fields close together. This makes it likely that both fields are in the same cache line. Since both fields are likely to be updated at the same time, this may improve performance.

From: Matt Mackall <mpm@selenic.com> I've been fiddling with cleaning up some old code here and suggest the following to make Lindent match actual practice more closely. This does: a) (no -psl) void *foo(void) { instead of void * foo(void) { b) (no -bs) "sizeof(foo)" rather than "sizeof (foo)" c) (-ncs) "(void *)foo" rather than "(void *) foo"

From: Nikita Danilov <Nikita@Namesys.COM> shrink_list() checks PageSwapCache() before calling add_to_swap(), this means that anonymous page that is going to be added to the swap right now these checks return false and: (*) it will be unaccounted for in nr_mapped, and (*) it won't be written to the swap if gfp_flags include __GFP_IO but not __GFP_FS. (Both will happen only on the next round of scanning.) Patch below just moves may_enter_fs initialization down. I am not sure about (*nr_mapped) increase though.

From: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> When the user gave an address hint in mmap use it as starting point for the search for !MAP_FIXED. Currently it is only checked directly and when already used the free area cache is used as starting point. With this change you can use mmap(4096, ....) to e.g. get the lowest free address in your address space, which is sometimes useful. For example on x86-64 glibc wants to preferably allocate thread local data in the first 4GB but use higher addresses when this is not possible. This can be a bit more costly in CPU time because it may have to skip over more VMAs, but gives better semantics for most cases. Most programs pass NULL as hint anyways so it won't make any difference for them. I did it for the generic mmap and for x86-64 for now. Also minor white space fixes for x86-64.

From: Jes Sorensen <jes@trained-monkey.org> nr_free_pages() is expensive, especially on large SMP machines. The patch changes the memory overcommit code so that it only calls nr_free_pages() is we're about to fail the allocation attempt.
