from spinlocked regions.

Secondly, if CONFIG_PREEMPT=y, this bug solves itself because networking

might_sleep() debugging warnings which would have informed us of the buggy

Fix page writeback thinko, causing Berkeley DB slowdown

A bug was introduced into write_cache_pages cyclic writeout by commit
31a12666d8f0c22235297e1c1575f82061480029 ("mm: write_cache_pages cyclic
fix").  The intention (and comments) is that we should cycle back and
look for more dirty pages at the beginning of the file if there is no
more work to be done.

But the !done condition was dropped from the test.  This means that any
time the page writeout loop breaks (eg.  due to nr_to_write == 0), we
will set index to 0, then goto again.  This will set done_index to
index, then find done is set, so will proceed to the end of the
function.  When updating mapping->writeback_index for cyclic writeout,
we now use done_index == 0, so we're always cycling back to 0.

This seemed to be causing random mmap writes (slapadd and iozone) to
start writing more pages from the LRU and writeout would slowdown, and
caused bugzilla entry

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12604

about Berkeley DB slowing down dramatically.

With this patch, iozone random write performance is increased nearly
5x on my system (iozone -B -r 4k -s 64k -s 512m -s 1200m on ext2).

nbd: fix I/O hang on disconnected nbds

Fix a problem that causes I/O to a disconnected (or partially initialized)
nbd device to hang indefinitely.  To reproduce:

# ioctl NBD_SET_SIZE_BLOCKS /dev/nbd23 514048
# dd if=/dev/nbd23 of=/dev/null bs=4096 count=1

15 years agomm: rearrange exit_mmap() to unlock before arch_exit_mmap

mm: rearrange exit_mmap() to unlock before arch_exit_mmap

Christophe Saout reported [in precursor to:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=123209902707347&w=4]:

> Note that I also some a different issue with CONFIG_UNEVICTABLE_LRU.

Jeremy explained:

Yes.  In the normal case under Xen, an in-use pagetable is "pinned",
meaning that it is RO to the kernel, and all updates must go via hypercall
(or writes are trapped and emulated, which is much the same thing).  An
unpinned pagetable is not currently in use by any process, and can be
directly accessed as normal RW pages.

As an optimisation at process exit time, we unpin the pagetable as early
as possible (switching the process to init_mm), so that all the normal
pagetable teardown can happen with direct memory accesses.

This happens in exit_mmap() -> arch_exit_mmap().  The munlocking happens
a few lines below.  The obvious thing to do would be to move
arch_exit_mmap() to below the munlock code, but I think we'd want to
call it even if mm->mmap is NULL, just to be on the safe side.

Thus, this patch:

exit_mmap() needs to unlock any locked vmas before calling arch_exit_mmap,
as the latter may switch the current mm to init_mm, which would cause the
former to fail.

Reason for this is that uml passes the preprocessor option
-Dsigprocmask=kernel_sigprocmask to gcc when compiling the kernel.
This causes SYSCALL_DEFINE3(sigprocmask, ...) to be expanded to

ext2/xip: refuse to change xip flag during remount with busy inodes

For a reason that I was unable to understand in three months of debugging,
mount ext2 -o remount stopped working properly when remounting from
regular operation to xip, or the other way around.  According to a git
bisect search, the problem was introduced with the VM_MIXEDMAP/PTE_SPECIAL
rework in the vm:

commit 70688e4dd1647f0ceb502bbd5964fa344c5eb411
Author: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de>
Date:   Mon Apr 28 02:13:02 2008 -0700

    xip: support non-struct page backed memory

In the failing scenario, the filesystem is mounted read only via root=
kernel parameter on s390x.  During remount (in rc.sysinit), the inodes of
the bash binary and its libraries are busy and cannot be invalidated (the
bash which is running rc.sysinit resides on subject filesystem).
Afterwards, another bash process (running ifup-eth) recurses into a
subshell, runs dup_mm (via fork).  Some of the mappings in this bash
process were created from inodes that could not be invalidated during
remount.

Both parent and child process crash some time later due to inconsistencies
in their address spaces.  The issue seems to be timing sensitive, various
attempts to recreate it have failed.

This patch refuses to change the xip flag during remount in case some
inodes cannot be invalidated.  This patch keeps users from running into
that issue.

When I tested following program, I found that the mlocked counter
is strange.  It cannot free some mlocked pages.

It is because try_to_unmap_file() doesn't check real
page mappings in vmas.

That is because the goal of an address_space for a file is to find all
processes into which the file's specific interval is mapped.  It is
related to the file's interval, not to pages.

Even if the page isn't really mapped by the vma, it returns SWAP_MLOCK
since the vma has VM_LOCKED, then calls try_to_mlock_page.  After this the
mlocked counter is increased again.

COWed anon page in a file-backed vma could be a such case.  This patch
resolves it.

Do not account for hugetlbfs quota at mmap() time if mapping [SHM|MAP]_NORESERVE

Commit 5a6fe125950676015f5108fb71b2a67441755003 brought hugetlbfs more
in line with the core VM by obeying VM_NORESERVE and not reserving
hugepages for both shared and private mappings when [SHM|MAP]_NORESERVE
are specified.  However, it is still taking filesystem quota
unconditionally.

At fault time, if there are no reserves and attempt is made to allocate
the page and account for filesystem quota.  If either fail, the fault
fails.  The impact is that quota is getting accounted for twice.  This
patch partially reverts 5a6fe125950676015f5108fb71b2a67441755003.  To

iwlwifi: fix suspend/resume and its usage of pci saved state

Here we do two things:

First, revert "iwlwifi: save PCI state before suspend, restore after
resume".  That misguided patch led to being unable to use iwlwifi
devices after resume.

Next, indicate to PCI driver that the saved PCI state is valid during suspend.

We restore PCI state and enable the device when network interface is created,
similarly PCI state is saved and the device is disabled when network interface
is removed. Thus, when .suspend is called the PCI state is saved and device
is disabled. This is the case even if an interface is never created as PCI
state is saved and device disabled during .probe.

PCI driver assumes PCI state is saved in .suspend. Saving the state at this
time will save state of disabled device and thus cause problems during
resume (resuming a disabled device). We thus indicate directly to PCI
driver that current PCI saved state is valid.
