On a 32 bit highmem PowerPC machine, the XFS inode cache was growing without bound and exhausting low memory causing the OOM killer to be triggered. After some effort, the problem was reproduced on a 32 bit x86 highmem machine. The problem is that the per-ag inode reclaim index cursor was not getting reset to the start of the AG if the radix tree tag lookup found no more reclaimable inodes. Hence every further reclaim attempt started at the same index beyond where any reclaimable inodes lay, and no further background reclaim ever occurred from the AG. Without background inode reclaim the VM driven cache shrinker simply cannot keep up with cache growth, and OOM is the result. While the change that exposed the problem was the conversion of the inode reclaim to use work queues for background reclaim, it was not the cause of the bug. The bug was introduced when the cursor code was added, just waiting for some weird configuration to strike....

NV40 and older cards (pre NV50) reserve a vram bo for the vga memory at card init. This bo is then freed at card shutdown. The problem is that the ttm bo vram manager was already freed. So a crash occurs when the vga bo is freed. The fix is to free the vga bo prior to freeing the ttm bo vram manager. There might be other solutions but this seemed the simplest to me.

This partially reverts commit e6e1e259. That commit changed the structure layout of the trace structure, which in turn broke PowerTOP (1.9x generation) quite badly. I appreciate not wanting to expose the variable in question, and PowerTOP was not using it, so I've replaced the variable with just a padding field - that way if in the future a new field is needed it can just use this padding field.

We make use of ptrace_get_breakpoints() / ptrace_put_breakpoints() to protect ptrace_set_debugreg() even if CONFIG_HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINT if off. However in this case, these APIs are not implemented. To fix this, push the protection down inside the relevant ifdef. Best would be to export the code inside CONFIG_HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINT into a standalone function to cleanup the ifdefury there and call the breakpoint ref API inside. But as it is more invasive, this should be rather made in an -rc1.

The logic in __get_user_pages() used to skip the stack guard page lookup whenever the caller wasn't interested in seeing what the actual page was. But Michel Lespinasse points out that there are cases where we don't care about the physical page itself (so 'pages' may be NULL), but do want to make sure a page is mapped into the virtual address space. So using the existence of the "pages" array as an indication of whether to look up the guard page or not isn't actually so great, and we really should just use the FOLL_MLOCK bit. But because that bit was only set for the VM_LOCKED case (and not all vma's necessarily have it, even for mlock()), we couldn't do that originally. Fix that by moving the VM_LOCKED check deeper into the call-chain, which actually simplifies many things. Now mlock() gets simpler, and we can also check for FOLL_MLOCK in __get_user_pages() and the code ends up much more straightforward.
