The i_mutex lock use of generic _file_llseek hurts. Independent processes accessing the same file synchronize over a single lock, even though they have no need for synchronization at all. Under high utilization this can cause llseek to scale very poorly on larger systems. This patch does some rethinking of the llseek locking model: First the 64bit f_pos is not necessarily atomic without locks on 32bit systems. This can already cause races with read() today. This was discussed on linux-kernel in the past and deemed acceptable. The patch does not change that. Let's look at the different seek variants: SEEK_SET: Doesn't really need any locking. If there's a race one writer wins, the other loses. For 32bit the non atomic update races against read() stay the same. Without a lock they can also happen against write() now. The read() race was deemed acceptable in past discussions, and I think if it's ok for read it's ok for write too. => Don't need a lock. SEEK_END: This behaves like SEEK_SET plus it reads the maximum size too. Reading the maximum size would have the 32bit atomic problem. But luckily we already have a way to read the maximum size without locking (i_size_read), so we can just use that instead. Without i_mutex there is no synchronization with write() anymore, however since the write() update is atomic on 64bit it just behaves like another racy SEEK_SET. On non atomic 32bit it's the same as SEEK_SET. => Don't need a lock, but need to use i_size_read() SEEK_CUR: This has a read-modify-write race window on the same file. One could argue that any application doing unsynchronized seeks on the same file is already broken. But for the sake of not adding a regression here I'm using the file->f_lock to synchronize this. Using this lock is much better than the inode mutex because it doesn't synchronize between processes. => So still need a lock, but can use a f_lock. This patch implements this new scheme in generic_file_llseek. I dropped generic_file_llseek_unlocked and changed all callers.

Add inlines to all the submission path functions. While this increases code size it also gives gcc a lot of optimization opportunities in this critical hotpath. In particular -- together with some other changes -- this allows gcc to get rid of the unnecessary clearing of sdio at the beginning and optimize the messy parameter passing. Any non inlining of a function which takes a sdio parameter would break this optimization because they cannot be done if the address of a structure is taken. Note that benefits are only seen with CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING and CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE both set to off. This gives about 2.2% improvement on a large database benchmark with a high IOPS rate.

Only a single b_private field in the map_bh buffer head is needed after the submission path. Move map_bh separately to avoid storing this information in the long term slab. This avoids the weird 104 byte hole in struct dio_submit which also needed to be memseted early. Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>

A direct slab call is slightly faster than kmalloc and can be better cached per CPU. It also avoids rounding to the next kmalloc slab. In addition this enforces cache line alignment for struct dio to avoid any false sharing.

This large, but largely mechanic, patch moves all fields in struct dio that are only used in the submission path into a separate on stack data structure. This has the advantage that the memory is very likely cache hot, which is not guaranteed for memory fresh out of kmalloc. This also gives gcc more optimization potential because it can easier determine that there are no external aliases for these variables. The sdio initialization is a initialization now instead of memset. This allows gcc to break sdio into individual fields and optimize away unnecessary zeroing (after all the functions are inlined) Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Acked-by: Jeff Moyer <jmoyer@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>

This was found by inspection while tracking a similar bug in compat_statfs64, that has been fixed in mainline since decemeber. - This fixes a bug where not all of the f_spare fields were cleared on mips and s390. - Add the f_flags field to struct compat_statfs - Copy f_flags to userspace in case someone cares. - Use __clear_user to copy the f_spare field to userspace to ensure that all of the elements of f_spare are cleared. On some architectures f_spare is has 5 ints and on some architectures f_spare only has 4 ints. Which makes the previous technique of clearing each int individually broken. I don't expect anyone actually uses the old statfs system call anymore but if they do let them benefit from having the compat and the native version working the same. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

Currently, when you call iov_iter_advance, then the pointer to the iovec array can be incremented, but it does not decrement the nr_segs value in the iov_iter struct. The result is a iov_iter struct with a nr_segs value that goes beyond the end of the array. While I'm not aware of anything that's specifically broken by this, it seems odd and a bit dangerous not to decrement that value. If someone were to trust the nr_segs value to be correct, then they could end up walking off the end of the array. Changing this might also provide some micro-optimization when dealing with the last iovec in an array. Many of the other routines that deal with iov_iter have optimized codepaths when nr_segs == 1.

Commit 4b239f45 ("x86-64, mm: Put early page table high") causes a S4 regression since 2.6.39, namely the machine reboots occasionally at S4 resume. It doesn't happen always, overall rate is about 1/20. But, like other bugs, once when this happens, it continues to happen.

The ghash_update function passes a pointer to gf128mul_4k_lle which will be NULL if ghash_setkey is not called or if the most recent call to ghash_setkey failed to allocate memory. This causes an oops. Fix this up by returning an error code in the null case. This is trivially triggered from unprivileged userspace through the AF_ALG interface by simply writing to the socket without setting a key. The ghash_final function has a similar issue, but triggering it requires a memory allocation failure in ghash_setkey _after_ at least one successful call to ghash_update.

The danger is that move_ptes() lets a migration entry dodge around behind remove_migration_pte()'s back, so it's in the old location when looking at the new, then in the new location when looking at the old. Either mremap's move_ptes() must additionally take anon_vma lock(), or migration's remove_migration_pte() must stop peeking for is_swap_entry() before it takes pagetable lock. Consensus chooses the latter: we prefer to add overhead to migration than to mremapping, which gets used by JVMs and by exec stack setup.

Due to commit 92fc43b4 ("r8169: modify the flow of the hw reset."), rtl8169_hw_reset stomps during driver shutdown on RxConfig bits which are needed for WOL on some versions of the hardware. As these bits were formerly set from the r81{0x, 68}_pll_power_down methods, factor them out for use in the driver shutdown (rtl_shutdown) handler. I favored __rtl8169_get_wol() -hardware state indication- over RTL_FEATURE_WOL as the latter has become a good candidate for removal.
