The below bug in fork led to the rmap walk finding the parent huge-pmd twice instead of just once, because the anon_vma_chain objects of the child vma still point to the vma->vm_mm of the parent. The patch fixes it by making the rmap walk accurate during fork. It's not a big deal normally but it worth being accurate considering the cost is the same. Signed-off-by:

/proc/sys/vm/oom_dump_tasks is enabled by default, so it's necessary to limit as much information as possible that it should emit. The tasklist dump should be filtered to only those tasks that are eligible for oom kill. This is already done for memcg ooms, but this patch extends it to both cpuset and mempolicy ooms as well as init. In addition to suppressing irrelevant information, this also reduces confusion since users currently don't know which tasks in the tasklist aren't eligible for kill (such as those attached to cpusets or bound to mempolicies with a disjoint set of mems or nodes, respectively) since that information is not shown.

Some Apple machines have identical DMI data but different memory configurations for the video. Given that, check that the address in our table is actually within the range of a PCI BAR on a VGA device in the machine. This also fixes up the return value from set_system(), which has always been wrong, but never resulted in bad behavior since there's only ever been one matching entry in the dmi table. The patch 1) stops people's machines from crashing when we get their display wrong, which seems to be unfortunately inevitable, 2) allows us to support identical dmi data with differing video memory configurations This also adds me as the efifb maintainer, since I've effectively been acting as such for quite some time.

OCFS2 can return ERESTARTSYS from its write function when the process is signalled while waiting for a cluster lock (and the filesystem is mounted with intr mount option). Generally, it seems reasonable to allow filesystems to return this error code from its IO functions. As we must not leak ERESTARTSYS (and similar error codes) to userspace as a result of an AIO operation, we have to properly convert it to EINTR inside AIO code (restarting the syscall isn't really an option because other AIO could have been already submitted by the same io_submit syscall).

M. Vefa Bicakci reported 2.6.35 kernel hang up when hibernation on his 32bit 3GB mem machine. (https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16771). Also he bisected the regression to commit bb21c7ce Author: KOSAKI Motohiro <kosaki.motohiro@jp.fujitsu.com> Date: Fri Jun 4 14:15:05 2010 -0700 vmscan: fix do_try_to_free_pages() return value when priority==0 reclaim failure At first impression, this seemed very strange because the above commit only chenged function return value and hibernate_preallocate_memory() ignore return value of shrink_all_memory(). But it's related. Now, page allocation from hibernation code may enter infinite loop if the system has highmem. The reasons are that vmscan don't care enough OOM case when oom_killer_disabled. The problem sequence is following as. 1. hibernation 2. oom_disable 3. alloc_pages 4. do_try_to_free_pages if (scanning_global_lru(sc) && !all_unreclaimable) return 1; If kswapd is not freozen, it would set zone->all_unreclaimable to 1 and then shrink_zones maybe return true(ie, all_unreclaimable is true). So at last, alloc_pages could go to _nopage_. If it is, it should have no problem. This patch adds all_unreclaimable check to protect in direct reclaim path, too. It can care of hibernation OOM case and help bailout all_unreclaimable case slightly. Signed-off-by:

In an effort to minimize customer confusion we want to unify naming convention for VMware-provided kernel modules. This change renames the balloon driver from vmware_ballon to vmw_balloon. We expect to follow this naming convention (vmw_<module_name>) for all modules that are part of mainline kernel and/or being distributed by VMware, with the sole exception of vmxnet3 driver (since the name of mainline driver happens to match with the name used in VMware Tools).

This fixes the regression caused by the commit 6fee48cd ("dma-mapping: arm: use generic pci_set_dma_mask and pci_set_consistent_dma_mask"). ARM needs to clip the dma coherent mask for dmabounce devices. This restores the old trick. Note that strictly speaking, the DMA API doesn't allow architectures to do such but I'm not sure it's worth adding the new API to set the dma mask that allows architectures to clip it. Reported-by:

Commit 73296bc6 ("procfs: Use generic_file_llseek in /proc/vmcore") broke seeking on /proc/vmcore. This changes it back to use default_llseek in order to restore the original behaviour. The problem with generic_file_llseek is that it only allows seeks up to inode->i_sb->s_maxbytes, which is zero on procfs and some other virtual file systems. We should merge generic_file_llseek and default_llseek some day and clean this up in a proper way, but for 2.6.35/36, reverting vmcore is the safer solution. Signed-off-by:

A task's badness score is roughly a proportion of its rss and swap compared to the system's capacity. The scale ranges from 0 to 1000 with the highest score chosen for kill. Thus, this scale operates on a resolution of 0.1% of RAM + swap. Admin tasks are also given a 3% bonus, so the badness score of an admin task using 3% of memory, for example, would still be 0. It's possible that an exceptionally large number of tasks will combine to exhaust all resources but never have a single task that uses more than 0.1% of RAM and swap (or 3.0% for admin tasks). This patch ensures that the badness score of any eligible task is never 0 so the machine doesn't unnecessarily panic because it cannot find a task to kill. Signed-off-by:

In 32-bit compatibility mode, the error handling for compat_do_readv_writev() may free an uninitialized pointer, potentially leading to all sorts of ugly memory corruption. This is reliably triggerable by unprivileged users by invoking the readv()/writev() syscalls with an invalid iovec pointer. The below patch fixes this to emulate the non-compat version.

Make sigreturn zero regs->trap, make do_signal() do the same on all paths. As it is, signal interrupting e.g. read() from fd 512 (== ERESTARTSYS) with another signal getting unblocked when the first handler finishes will lead to restart one insn earlier than it ought to. Same for multiple signals with in-kernel handlers interrupting that sucker at the same time. Same for multiple signals of any kind interrupting that sucker on 64bit... Signed-off-by:

Inodes of devices such as /dev/zero can get dirty for example via utime(2) syscall or due to atime update. Backing device of such inodes (zero_bdi, etc.) is however unable to handle dirty inodes and thus __mark_inode_dirty complains. In fact, inode should be rather dirtied against backing device of the filesystem holding it. This is generally a good rule except for filesystems such as 'bdev' or 'mtd_inodefs'. Inodes in these pseudofilesystems are referenced from ordinary filesystem inodes and carry mapping with real data of the device. Thus for these inodes we have to use inode->i_mapping->backing_dev_info as we did so far. We distinguish these filesystems by checking whether sb->s_bdi points to a non-trivial backing device or not. Example: Assume we have an ext3 filesystem on /dev/sda1 mounted on /. There's a device inode A described by a path "/dev/sdb" on this filesystem. This inode will be dirtied against backing device "8:0" after this patch. bdev filesystem contains block device inode B coupled with our inode A. When someone modifies a page of /dev/sdb, it's B that gets dirtied and the dirtying happens against the backing device "8:16". Thus both inodes get filed to a correct bdi list.
