When vmscan.c calls page_referenced(), if an anon page was created
before a process forked, rmap will search for it in both of the
processes, even though one of them might have since broken COW.
If the child process mlocks the vma where the COWed page belongs to,
page_referenced() running on the page mapped by the parent would lead to
*vm_flags getting VM_LOCKED set erroneously (leading to the references
on the parent page being ignored and evicting the parent page too
early).
*mapcount would also be decremented by page_referenced_one even if the
page wasn't found by page_check_address.
This also lets pmdp_clear_flush_young_notify() go ahead on a
pmd_trans_splitting() pmd.
We hold the page_table_lock so __split_huge_page_map() must wait the
pmdp_clear_flush_young_notify() to complete before it can modify the
pmd. The pmd is also still mapped in userland so the young bit may
materialize through a tlb miss before split_huge_page_map runs.
This will provide a more accurate page_referenced() behavior during
split_huge_page().

Josef had changed shrink_delalloc to exit after three shrink
attempts, which wasn't quite enough because new writers could
race in and steal free space.
But it also fixed deadlocks and stalls as we tried to recover
delalloc reservations. The code was tweaked to loop 1024
times, and would reset the counter any time a small amount
of progress was made. This was too drastic, and with a
lot of writers we can end up stuck in shrink_delalloc forever.
The shrink_delalloc loop is fairly complex because the caller is looping
too, and the caller will go ahead and force a transaction commit to make
sure we reclaim space.
This reworks things to exit shrink_delalloc when we've forced some
writeback and the delalloc reservations have gone down. This means
the writeback has not just started but has also finished at
least some of the metadata changes required to reclaim delalloc
space.
If we've got this wrong, we're returning ENOSPC too early, which
is a big improvement over the current behavior of hanging the machine.
Test 224 in xfstests hammers on this nicely, and with 1000 writers
trying to fill a 1GB drive we get our first ENOSPC at 93% full. The
other writers are able to continue until we get 100%.
This is a worst case test for btrfs because the 1000 writers are doing
small IO, and the small FS size means we don't have a lot of room
for metadata chunks.

The distance transforming in numa_emulation() used to call
numa_set_distance() for all MAX_NUMNODES * MAX_NUMNODES node
combinations regardless of which are enabled. As numa_set_distance()
ignores all out-of-bound distance settings, this doesn't cause any
problem other than looping unnecessarily many times during boot.
However, as MAX_NUMNODES * MAX_NUMNODES can be pretty high, update the
code such that it iterates through only the enabled combinations.
Yinghai Lu identified the issue and provided an initial patch to
address the issue; however, the patch was incorrect in that it didn't
build emulated distance table when there's no physical distance table
and unnecessarily complex.

On suspend we disable all interrupts in the core code, but this does
not mask the interrupt line in the default implementation as we use a
lazy disable approach. That means we mark the interrupt disabled, but
leave the hardware unmasked. That's an optimization because we avoid
the hardware access for the common case where no interrupt happens
after we marked it disabled. If an interrupt happens, then the
interrupt flow handler masks the line at the hardware level and marks
it pending.
Suspend makes use of this delayed disable as it "disables" all
interrupts when preparing the suspend transition. Right before the
system goes into hardware suspend state it checks whether one of the
interrupts which is marked as a wakeup interrupt came in after
disabling it.
Most interrupt chips have a separate register which selects the
interrupts which can wake up the system from suspend, so we don't have
to mask any on the non wakeup interrupts.
But now we have to deal with brilliant designed hardware which lacks
such a wakeup configuration facility. For such hardware it's necessary
to mask all non wakeup interrupts before going into suspend in order
to avoid the wakeup from random interrupts.
Rather than working around this in the affected interrupt chip
implementations we can solve this elegant in the core code itself.
Add a flag IRQCHIP_MASK_ON_SUSPEND which can be set by the irq chip
implementation to indicate, that the interrupts which are not selected
as wakeup sources must be masked in the suspend path. Mask them in the
loop which checks the wakeup interrupts pending flag.

The latest binutils (2.21.0.20110302/Ubuntu) breaks the build
yet another time, under CONFIG_XEN=y due to a .size directive that
refers to a slightly differently named (hence, to the now very
strict and unforgiving assembler, non-existent) symbol.
[ mingo:
This unnecessary build breakage caused by new binutils
version 2.21 gets escallated back several kernel releases spanning
several years of Linux history, affecting over 130,000 upstream
kernel commits (!), on CONFIG_XEN=y 64-bit kernels (i.e. essentially
affecting all major Linux distro kernel configs).
Git annotate tells us that this slight debug symbol code mismatch
bug has been introduced in 2008 in commit 3d75e1b8:
3d75e1b8 (Jeremy Fitzhardinge 2008-07-08 15:06:49 -0700 1231) ENTRY(xen_do_hypervisor_callback) # do_hypervisor_callback(struct *pt_regs)
The 'bug' is just a slight assymetry in ENTRY()/END()
debug-symbols sequences, with lots of assembly code between the
ENTRY() and the END():
ENTRY(xen_do_hypervisor_callback) # do_hypervisor_callback(struct *pt_regs)
...
END(do_hypervisor_callback)
Human reviewers almost never catch such small mismatches, and binutils
never even warned about it either.
This new binutils version thus breaks the Xen build on all upstream kernels
since v2.6.27, out of the blue.
This makes a straightforward Git bisection of all 64-bit Xen-enabled kernels
impossible on such binutils, for a bisection window of over hundred
thousand historic commits. (!)
This is a major fail on the side of binutils and binutils needs to turn
this show-stopper build failure into a warning ASAP. ]

There have been a number of recent reports that NFSROOT is no longer
working with default mount options, but fails only with certain NICs.
Brian Downing <bdowning@lavos.net> bisected to commit 56463e50 "NFS:
Use super.c for NFSROOT mount option parsing". Among other things,
this commit changes the default mount options for NFSROOT to use TCP
instead of UDP as the underlying transport.
TCP seems less able to deal with NICs that are slow to initialize.
The system logs that have accompanied reports of problems all show
that NFSROOT attempts to establish a TCP connection before the NIC is
fully initialized, and thus the TCP connection attempt fails.
When a TCP connection attempt fails during a mount operation, the
NFS stack needs to fail the operation. Usually user space knows how
and when to retry it. The network layer does not report a distinct
error code for this particular failure mode. Thus, there isn't a
clean way for the RPC client to see that it needs to retry in this
case, but not in others.
Because NFSROOT is used in some environments where it is not possible
to update the kernel command line to specify "udp", the proper thing
to do is change NFSROOT to use UDP by default, as it did before commit
56463e50.
To make it easier to see how to change default mount options for
NFSROOT and to distinguish default settings from mandatory settings,
I've adjusted a couple of areas to document the specifics.
root_nfs_cat() is also modified to deal with commas properly when
concatenating strings containing mount option lists. This keeps
root_nfs_cat() call sites simpler, now that we may be concatenating
multiple mount option strings.

Some plist_del()s in kernel/futex.c are passed a faked head of the
priority list.
It does not fail because the current code does not require the real head
in plist_del(). The current code of plist_del() just uses the head for checking,
so it will not cause a bad result even when we use a faked head.
But it is undocumented usage:
/**
* plist_del - Remove a @node from plist.
*
* @node: &struct plist_node pointer - entry to be removed
* @head: &struct plist_head pointer - list head
*/
The document says that the @head is the "list head" head of the priority list.
In futex code, several places use "plist_del(&q->list, &q->list.plist);",
they pass a fake head. We need to fix them all.

[ 0.000000] Xen: 0000000000100000 - 0000000080800000 (usable)
Due to patch: "xen/setup: Inhibit resource API from using System RAM E820 gaps as PCI mem gaps."
we would mark the memory past the 1GB mark as unusuable resulting in:
[ 0.000000] BIOS-provided physical RAM map:
[ 0.000000] Xen: 0000000000000000 - 00000000000a0000 (usable)

[ 0.000000] Xen: 0000000040000000 - 0000000080800000 (unusable)
which meant that we could not balloon up anymore. We could
balloon the guest down. The fix is to run the code introduced
by the above mentioned patch only for the initial domain.

We can hit serious mis-synchronization in bio completion path of
blkdev_issue_zeroout() leading to a panic.
The problem is that when we are going to wait_for_completion() in
blkdev_issue_zeroout() we check if the bb.done equals issued (number of
submitted bios). If it does, we can skip the wait_for_completition()
and just out of the function since there is nothing to wait for.
However, there is a ordering problem because bio_batch_end_io() is
calling atomic_inc(&bb->done) before complete(), hence it might seem to
blkdev_issue_zeroout() that all bios has been completed and exit. At
this point when bio_batch_end_io() is going to call complete(bb->wait),
bb and wait does not longer exist since it was allocated on stack in
blkdev_issue_zeroout() ==> panic!
(thread 1) (thread 2)
bio_batch_end_io() blkdev_issue_zeroout()
if(bb) { ...
if (bb->end_io) ...
bb->end_io(bio, err); ...
atomic_inc(&bb->done); ...
... while (issued != atomic_read(&bb.done))
... (let issued == bb.done)
... (do the rest of the function)
... return ret;
complete(bb->wait);
^^^^^^^^
panic
We can fix this easily by simplifying bio_batch and completion counting.
Also remove bio_end_io_t *end_io since it is not used.

The cmpxchg_futex_value_locked API was funny in that it returned either
the original, user-exposed futex value OR an error code such as -EFAULT.
This was confusing at best, and could be a source of livelocks in places
that retry the cmpxchg_futex_value_locked after trying to fix the issue
by running fault_in_user_writeable().
This change makes the cmpxchg_futex_value_locked API more similar to the
