Recently, Robert Mueller reported (http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/9/12/236)
that zone_reclaim_mode doesn't work properly on his new NUMA server (Dual
Xeon E5520 + Intel S5520UR MB). He is using Cyrus IMAPd and it's built on
a very traditional single-process model.
* a master process which reads config files and manages the other
process
* multiple imapd processes, one per connection
* multiple pop3d processes, one per connection
* multiple lmtpd processes, one per connection
* periodical "cleanup" processes.
There are thousands of independent processes. The problem is, recent
Intel motherboard turn on zone_reclaim_mode by default and traditional
prefork model software don't work well on it. Unfortunatelly, such models
are still typical even in the 21st century. We can't ignore them.
This patch raises the zone_reclaim_mode threshold to 30. 30 doesn't have
any specific meaning. but 20 means that one-hop QPI/Hypertransport and
such relatively cheap 2-4 socket machine are often used for traditional
servers as above. The intention is that these machines don't use
zone_reclaim_mode.
Note: ia64 and Power have arch specific RECLAIM_DISTANCE definitions.
This patch doesn't change such high-end NUMA machine behavior.
Dave Hansen said:
: I know specifically of pieces of x86 hardware that set the information
: in the BIOS to '21' *specifically* so they'll get the zone_reclaim_mode
: behavior which that implies.
:
: They've done performance testing and run very large and scary benchmarks
: to make sure that they _want_ this turned on. What this means for them
: is that they'll probably be de-optimized, at least on newer versions of
: the kernel.
:
: If you want to do this for particular systems, maybe _that_'s what we
: should do. Have a list of specific configurations that need the
: defaults overridden either because they're buggy, or they have an
: unusual hardware configuration not really reflected in the distance
: table.
And later said:
: The original change in the hardware tables was for the benefit of a
: benchmark. Said benchmark isn't going to get run on mainline until the
: next batch of enterprise distros drops, at which point the hardware where
: this was done will be irrelevant for the benchmark. I'm sure any new
: hardware will just set this distance to another yet arbitrary value to
: make the kernel do what it wants. :)
:
: Also, when the hardware got _set_ to this initially, I complained. So, I
: guess I'm getting my way now, with this patch. I'm cool with it.

While testing for memcg aware swap token, I observed a swap token was
often grabbed an intermittent running process (eg init, auditd) and they
never release a token.
Why?
Some processes (eg init, auditd, audispd) wake up when a process exiting.
And swap token can be get first page-in process when a process exiting
makes no swap token owner. Thus such above intermittent running process
often get a token.
And currently, swap token priority is only decreased at page fault path.
Then, if the process sleep immediately after to grab swap token, the swap
token priority never be decreased. That's obviously undesirable.
This patch implement very poor (and lightweight) priority aging. It only
be affect to the above corner case and doesn't change swap tendency
workload performance (eg multi process qsbench load)

Currently, memcg reclaim can disable swap token even if the swap token mm
doesn't belong in its memory cgroup. It's slightly risky. If an admin
creates very small mem-cgroup and silly guy runs contentious heavy memory
pressure workload, every tasks are going to lose swap token and then
system may become unresponsive. That's bad.
This patch adds 'memcg' parameter into disable_swap_token(). and if the
parameter doesn't match swap token, VM doesn't disable it.

Older m68k-linux compilers will include pre-defined symbols that
confuse what processor it is being targeted for. For example gcc-4.1.2
will pre-define __mc68020__ even if you specify the target processor
as -m68000 on the gcc command line. Newer versions of gcc have this
corrected.
In a few places the m68k code uses defined(__mc68020__) for optimizations
that include instructions that are specific to the CPU 68020 and above.
When compiling with older compilers this will be true even when we have
selected to compile for the older 68000 processors.
Switch to using the kernel processor defines, CONFIG_M68020 and friends.

There are 3 families of CPU core types that we support in the m68knommu
architecture branch. They are
. traditional 68000
. CPU32 (a 68020 core derivative without MMU or bitfield instructions)
. ColdFire
It will be useful going forward to have a CONFIG_ option defined for
each type. We already have one for ColdFire (CONFIG_COLDFIRE), so add
for the other 2 families, CONFIG_M68000 and CONFIG_MCPU32.

Drivers using multiple framebuffers got broken by commit
41c2e75e60 which ignored the framebuffer
(or register) map offset when looking for existing maps. The rationale
was that the kernel-userspace ABI is fixed at a 32-bit offset, so the
real offsets could not always be handed over for comparison.
Instead of ignoring the offset we will compare the lower 32 bit. Drivers
using multiple framebuffers should just make sure that the lower 32 bit
are different. The existing drivers in question are practically limited
to 32-bit systems so that should be fine for them.
It is assumed that current drivers always specify a correct framebuffer
map offset, even if this offset was ignored since above commit. So this
patch should not change anything for drivers using only one framebuffer.
Drivers needing multiple framebuffers with 64-bit map offsets will need
to cook up something, for instance keeping an ID in the lower bit which
is to be aligned away when it comes to using the offset.
All of above applies to _DRM_REGISTERS as well.

Long ago (in commit 00e485b0), I added some code to handle share-level
passwords in CIFSTCon. That code ignored the fact that it's legit to
pass in a NULL tcon pointer when connecting to the IPC$ share on the
server.
This wasn't really a problem until recently as we only called CIFSTCon
this way when the server returned -EREMOTE. With the introduction of
commit c1508ca2 however, it gets called this way on every mount, causing
an oops when share-level security is in effect.
Fix this by simply treating a NULL tcon pointer as if user-level
security were in effect. I'm not aware of any servers that protect the
IPC$ share with a specific password anyway. Also, add a comment to the
top of CIFSTCon to ensure that we don't make the same mistake again.

It's possible for the following set of events to happen:
cifsd calls cifs_reconnect which reconnects the socket. A userspace
process then calls cifs_negotiate_protocol to handle the NEGOTIATE and
gets a reply. But, while processing the reply, cifsd calls
cifs_reconnect again. Eventually the GlobalMid_Lock is dropped and the
reply from the earlier NEGOTIATE completes and the tcpStatus is set to
CifsGood. cifs_reconnect then goes through and closes the socket and sets the
pointer to zero, but because the status is now CifsGood, the new socket
is not created and cifs_reconnect exits with the socket pointer set to
NULL.
Fix this by only setting the tcpStatus to CifsGood if the tcpStatus is
CifsNeedNegotiate, and by making sure that generic_ip_connect is always
called at least once in cifs_reconnect.
Note that this is not a perfect fix for this issue. It's still possible
that the NEGOTIATE reply is handled after the socket has been closed and
reconnected. In that case, the socket state will look correct but it no
NEGOTIATE was performed on it be for the wrong socket. In that situation
though the server should just shut down the socket on the next attempted
send, rather than causing the oops that occurs today.
