This patch fixes few usability and configurability issues. o All the cgroup based controller options are configurable from "Genral Setup/Control Group Support/" menu. blkio is the only exception. Hence make this option visible in above menu and make it configurable from there to bring it inline with rest of the cgroup based controllers. o Get rid of CONFIG_DEBUG_CFQ_IOSCHED. This option currently does two things. - Enable printing of cgroup paths in blktrace - Enables CONFIG_DEBUG_BLK_CGROUP, which in turn displays additional stat files in cgroup. If we are using group scheduling, blktrace data is of not really much use if cgroup information is not present. To get this data, currently one has to also enable CONFIG_DEBUG_CFQ_IOSCHED, which in turn brings the overhead of all the additional debug stat files which is not desired. Hence, this patch moves printing of cgroup paths under CONFIG_CFQ_GROUP_IOSCHED. This allows us to get rid of CONFIG_DEBUG_CFQ_IOSCHED completely. Now all the debug stat files are controlled only by CONFIG_DEBUG_BLK_CGROUP which can be enabled through config menu.

o Once in a while, I was hitting a BUG_ON() in blkio code. empty_time was assuming that upon slice expiry, group can't be marked empty already (except forced dispatch). But this assumption is broken if cfqq can move (group_isolation=0) across groups after receiving a request. I think most likely in this case we got a request in a cfqq and accounted the rq in one group, later while adding the cfqq to tree, we moved the queue to a different group which was already marked empty and after dispatch from slice we found group already marked empty and raised alarm. This patch does not error out if group is already marked empty. This can introduce some empty_time stat error only in case of group_isolation=0. This is better than crashing. In case of group_isolation=1 we should still get same stats as before this patch. [ 222.308546] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 222.309311] kernel BUG at block/blk-cgroup.c:236!

blkio + cfq was crashing even when two sequential readers were put in two separate cgroups (group_isolation=0). The reason being that cfqq can migrate across groups based on its being sync-noidle or not, it can happen that at request insertion time, cfqq belonged to one cfqg and at request dispatch time, it belonged to root group. In this case request stats per cgroup can go wrong and it also runs into BUG_ON(). This patch implements rq stashing away a cfq group pointer and not relying on cfqq->cfqg pointer alone for rq stat accounting.

blk_rq_timed_out_timer() relied on blk_add_timer() never returning a timer value of zero, but commit 7838c15b removed the code that bumped this value when it was zero. Therefore when jiffies is near wrap we could get unlucky & not set the timeout value correctly. This patch uses a flag to indicate that the timeout value was set and so handles jiffies wrap correctly, and it keeps all the logic in one function so should be easier to maintain in the future.

Currently, IO Controller makes use of blkio.weight to assign weight for all devices. Here a new user interface "blkio.weight_device" is introduced to assign different weights for different devices. blkio.weight becomes the default value for devices which are not configured by "blkio.weight_device" You can use the following format to assigned specific weight for a given device: #echo "major:minor weight" > blkio.weight_device major:minor represents device number. And you can remove weight for a given device as following: #echo "major:minor 0" > blkio.weight_device V1->V2 changes: - use user interface "weight_device" instead of "policy" suggested by Vivek - rename some struct suggested by Vivek - rebase to 2.6-block "for-linus" branch - remove an useless list_empty check pointed out by Li Zefan - some trivial typo fix V2->V3 changes: - Move policy_*_node() functions up to get rid of forward declarations - rename related functions by adding prefix "blkio_" Signed-off-by: Gui Jianfeng <guijianfeng@cn.fujitsu.com> Acked-by: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

Otherwise we might be mapping in a page in a new mapping, but that page (through the swapcache) would later be mapped into an old mapping too. The page->mapping must be the case that works for everybody, not just the mapping that happened to page it in first. Here's the scenario: - page gets allocated/mapped by process A. Let's call the anon_vma we associate the page with 'A' to keep it easy to track. - Process A forks, creating process B. The anon_vma in B is 'B', and has a chain that looks like 'B' -> 'A'. Everything is fine. - Swapping happens. The page (with mapping pointing to 'A') gets swapped out (perhaps not to disk - it's enough to assume that it's just not mapped any more, and lives entirely in the swap-cache) - Process B pages it in, which goes like this: do_swap_page -> page = lookup_swap_cache(entry); ... set_pte_at(mm, address, page_table, pte); page_add_anon_rmap(page, vma, address); And think about what happens here! In particular, what happens is that this will now be the "first" mapping of that page, so page_add_anon_rmap() used to do if (first) __page_set_anon_rmap(page, vma, address); and notice what anon_vma it will use? It will use the anon_vma for process B! What happens then? Trivial: process 'A' also pages it in (nothing happens, it's not the first mapping), and then process 'B' execve's or exits or unmaps, making anon_vma B go away. End result: process A has a page that points to anon_vma B, but anon_vma B does not exist any more. This can go on forever. Forget about RCU grace periods, forget about locking, forget anything like that. The bug is simply that page->mapping points to an anon_vma that was correct at one point, but was _not_ the one that was shared by all users of that possible mapping. Changing it to always use the deepest anon_vma in the anonvma chain gets us to the safest model. This can be improved in certain cases: if we know the page is private to just this particular mapping (for example, it's a new page, or it is the only swapcache entry), we could pick the top (most specific) anon_vma. But that's a future optimization. Make it _work_ reliably first.

We want to walk the chain in reverse order when cloning it, so that the order of the result chain will be the same as the order in the source chain. When we add entries to the chain, they go at the head of the chain, so we want to add the source head last.

When we move the boundaries between two vma's due to things like mprotect, we need to make sure that the anon_vma of the pages that got moved from one vma to another gets properly copied around. And that was not always the case, in this rather hard-to-follow code sequence. Clarify the code, and fix it so that it copies the anon_vma from the right source.

This changes the anon_vma reuse case to require that we only reuse simple anon_vma's - ie the case when the vma only has a single anon_vma associated with it. This means that a reuse of an anon_vma from an adjacent vma will always guarantee that both vma's are associated not only with the same anon_vma, they will also have the same anon_vma chain (of just a single entry in this case). And since anon_vma re-use was the only case where the same anon_vma might be associated with different chains of anon_vma's, we now have the case that every vma that shares the same anon_vma will always also have the same chain. That makes it much easier to think about merging vma's that share the same anon_vma's: you can always just drop the other anon_vma chain in anon_vma_merge() since you know that they are always identical. This also splits up the function to validate the anon_vma re-use, and adds a lot of commentary about the possible races.

dq_flags are modified non-atomically in do_set_dqblk via __set_bit calls and atomically for example in mark_dquot_dirty or clear_dquot_dirty. Hence a change done by an atomic operation can be overwritten by a change done by a non-atomic one. Fix the problem by using atomic bitops even in do_set_dqblk.

For a root filesystem write to the filesystem before quota is turned on happens regularly and there's no way around it because of writes to syslog, /etc/mtab, and similar. So the warning is rather pointless for ordinary users. It's still useful during development so we just hide the warning behind __DQUOT_PARANOIA config option. Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>

The ebase is relative to CKSEG0 not CAC_BASE. On a 32-bit kernel they are the same thing, for a 64-bit kernel they are not. It happens to kind of work on a 64-bit kernel as they both reference the same physical memory. However since the CPU uses the CKSEG0 base, determining if a J instruction will reach always gives the wrong result unless we use the same number the CPU uses.

Commit b3594a089f1c17ff919f8f78505c3f20e1f6f8ce (lmo) rsp. 35133692 (kernel.org) break non-GPL modules that use __vmalloc() or any of the vmap(), vm_map_ram(), etc functions on MIPS. All those functions are EXPORT_SYMBOL() so are meant to be allowed to be used by non-GPL kernel modules. These calls all take page protection as an argument which is normally a constant like PAGE_KERNEL. This commit causes all protection constants like PAGE_KERNEL to not be constants and instead to contain the GPL-only symbol _page_cachable_default. This means that all calls to __vmalloc(), vmap(), etc, cause non-GPL modules to fail to link with the complaint that they are trying to use the GPL-only symbol _page_cachable_default... Change EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(_page_cachable_default) to EXPORT_SYMBOL() for non-GPL modules that call __vmalloc(), vmap(), vm_map_ram() etc. Signed-off-by: Anton Altaparmakov <aia21@cantab.net> Cc: Chris Dearman <chris@mips.com> Cc: linux-mips@linux-mips.org Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Patchwork: http://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/1084/Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>

Previously it was unconditionally used on all Sibyte family SOCs. The M3 bug has to be handled in the TLB exception handler which is extremly performance sensitive, so this modification is expected to deliver around 2-3% performance improvment. This is important as required changes to the M3 workaround will make it more costly. Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>
