on 64-bit x86 the physical memory limit is controlled by the sparsemem bits - which are 44 bits right now. But MAXMEM (the max pfn number e820 parsing will allow to enter our sizing routines) is set to 0x00003fffffffffff, i.e. 46 bits - that's too large because it overlaps into the vmalloc range. So couple MAXMEM to MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS, and add a comment that the maximum of MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS is 45 bits. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Impact: cleanup, code robustization The __swp_...() macros silently relied upon which bits are used for _PAGE_FILE and _PAGE_PROTNONE. After having changed _PAGE_PROTNONE in our Xen kernel to no longer overlap _PAGE_PAT, live locks and crashes were reported that could have been avoided if these macros properly used the symbolic constants. Since, as pointed out earlier, for Xen Dom0 support mainline likewise will need to eliminate the conflict between _PAGE_PAT and _PAGE_PROTNONE, this patch does all the necessary adjustments, plus it introduces a mechanism to check consistency between MAX_SWAPFILES_SHIFT and the actual encoding macros. This also fixes a latent bug in that x86-64 used a 6-bit mask in __swp_type(), and if MAX_SWAPFILES_SHIFT was increased beyond 5 in (the seemingly unrelated) linux/swap.h, this would have resulted in a collision with _PAGE_FILE. Non-PAE 32-bit code gets similarly adjusted for its pte_to_pgoff() and pgoff_to_pte() calculations. Signed-off-by: Jan Beulich <jbeulich@novell.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Lee Schermerhorn noticed yesterday that I broke the mapping_writably_mapped test in 2.6.7! Bad bad bug, good good find. The i_mmap_writable count must be incremented for VM_SHARED (just as i_writecount is for VM_DENYWRITE, but while holding the i_mmap_lock) when dup_mmap() copies the vma for fork: it has its own more optimal version of __vma_link_file(), and I missed this out. So the count was later going down to 0 (dangerous) when one end unmapped, then wrapping negative (inefficient) when the other end unmapped. The only impact on x86 would have been that setting a mandatory lock on a file which has at some time been opened O_RDWR and mapped MAP_SHARED (but not necessarily PROT_WRITE) across a fork, might fail with -EAGAIN when it should succeed, or succeed when it should fail. But those architectures which rely on flush_dcache_page() to flush userspace modifications back into the page before the kernel reads it, may in some cases have skipped the flush after such a fork - though any repetitive test will soon wrap the count negative, in which case it will flush_dcache_page() unnecessarily. Fix would be a two-liner, but mapping variable added, and comment moved.

The last patch to lib/idr.c caused a bug if idr_get_new_above() was called on an empty idr. Usually, nodes stay on the same layer. New layers are added to the top of the tree. The exception is idr_get_new_above() on an empty tree: In this case, the new root node is first added on layer 0, then moved upwards. p->layer was not updated.

Discard low-prioriy Tx interrupts when closing an MN10300 on-chip serial port. The MN10300 on-chip serial port uses three interrupts to manage its serial ports: (1) A very high priority interrupt that drives virtual DMA for Rx. (2) A very high priority interrupt that drives virtual DMA for Tx. (3) A normal priority virtual interrupt that does the normal UART interrupt stuff and is shared between Rx and Tx. mn10300_serial_stop_tx() only disables the high priority Tx interrupt. It doesn't also disable the normal priority one because it is shared with Rx. However, the high priority interrupt may interrupt local_irq_disabled() sections, and so may have queued up a low priority virtual interrupt whilst the UART driver is asking for the Tx interrupt to be disabled. The result of this can be an oops when we try to process the interrupt in mn10300_serial_transmit_interrupt() as port->uart.info and port->uart.info->tty may have gone away. To deal with this, if either of those pointers is NULL, we make sure the high-priority Tx interrupt is disabled and discard the interrupt. The low priority interrupt is disabled by the mn10300_serial_pic irq_chip table.

The pktcdvd created class devices only export some sysfs files, but have no char dev_t registered in the driver. At class device creation time they copy the dev_t value of the block device to the char device, wich will register a new char device in the driver core and userspace, with a conflicting dev_t value. In many cases the class devices dev_t just points to a random USB device. This fixes the sysfs "duplicate entry" errors.

Miles Lane tailing /sys files hit a BUG which Pekka Enberg has tracked to my 966c8c12 sprint_symbol(): use less stack exposing a bug in slub's list_locations() - kallsyms_lookup() writes a 0 to namebuf[KSYM_NAME_LEN-1], but that was beyond the end of page provided. The 100 slop which list_locations() allows at end of page looks roughly enough for all the other stuff it might print after the symbol before it checks again: break out KSYM_SYMBOL_LEN earlier than before. Latencytop and ftrace and are using KSYM_NAME_LEN buffers where they need KSYM_SYMBOL_LEN buffers, and vmallocinfo a 2*KSYM_NAME_LEN buffer where it wants a KSYM_SYMBOL_LEN buffer: fix those before anyone copies them.

On umount two event will be dispatched to watcher: 1: inotify_dev_queue_event(.., IN_UNMOUNT,..) 2: remove_watch(watch, dev) ->inotify_dev_queue_event(.., IN_IGNORED, ..)

Since commit 2f007e74, do_pages_stat() gets the page address from user-space and puts the corresponding status back while holding the mmap_sem for read. There is no need to hold mmap_sem there while some page-faults may occur. This patch adds a temporary address and status buffer so as to only hold mmap_sem while working on these kernel buffers. This is implemented by extracting do_pages_stat_array() out of do_pages_stat().

Add a call to cancel_work_sync() in fbcon_exit() to cancel any pending work in the fbcon workqueue. The current implementation of fbcon_exit() sets the fbcon workqueue function info->queue.func to NULL, but does not assure that there is no work pending when it does so. On occasion, depending on system timing, there will still be pending work in the queue when fbcon_exit() is called. This results in a null pointer deference when run_workqueue() tries to call the queue's work function.

(1) use schedule_on_each_cpu() (2) don't use schedule_on_each_cpu() Gerald Schaefer reported it doesn't work well on SMP (not NUMA) S390 machine. offline_pages() calls lru_add_drain_all() followed by drain_all_pages(). While drain_all_pages() works on each cpu, lru_add_drain_all() only runs on the current cpu for architectures w/o CONFIG_NUMA. This let us run into the BUG_ON(!PageBuddy(page)) in __offline_isolated_pages() during memory hotplug stress test on s390. The page in question was still on the pcp list, because of a race with lru_add_drain_all() and drain_all_pages() on different cpus. Actually, Almost machine has CONFIG_UNEVICTABLE_LRU=y. Then almost machine use (1) version lru_add_drain_all although the machine is UP. Then this ifdef is not valueable. simple removing is better.

Revert commit 1f7c14c6 Author: Mingming Cao <cmm@us.ibm.com> Date: Thu Oct 9 12:50:59 2008 -0400 percpu counter: clean up percpu_counter_sum_and_set() Before this patch we had the following: percpu_counter_sum(): return the percpu_counter's value percpu_counter_sum_and_set(): return the percpu_counter's value, copying that value into the central value and zeroing the per-cpu counters before returning. After this patch, percpu_counter_sum_and_set() has gone, and percpu_counter_sum() gets the old percpu_counter_sum_and_set() functionality. Problem is, as Eric points out, the old percpu_counter_sum_and_set() functionality was racy and wrong. It zeroes out counters on "other" cpus, without holding any locks which will prevent races agaist updates from those other CPUS. This patch reverts 1f7c14c6. This means that percpu_counter_sum_and_set() still has the race, but percpu_counter_sum() does not. Note that this is not a simple revert - ext4 has since started using percpu_counter_sum() for its dirty_blocks counter as well. Note that this revert patch changes percpu_counter_sum() semantics. Before the patch, a call to percpu_counter_sum() will bring the counter's central counter mostly up-to-date, so a following percpu_counter_read() will return a close value. After this patch, a call to percpu_counter_sum() will leave the counter's central accumulator unaltered, so a subsequent call to percpu_counter_read() can now return a significantly inaccurate result. If there is any code in the tree which was introduced after e8ced39d was merged, and which depends upon the new percpu_counter_sum() semantics, that code will break.
