      drm/i915: more struct_mutex locking · ecbec53b
      Hugh Dickins authored 
      When auditing the locking in i915_gem.c (for a prospective change which
I then abandoned), I noticed two places where struct_mutex is not held
across GEM object manipulations that would usually require it.

Since one is in initial setup and the other in driver unload, I'm
guessing the mutex is not required for either; but post a patch in case
it is.

      drm/i915: use shmem_truncate_range · e2377fe0
      Hugh Dickins authored 
      The interface to ->truncate_range is changing very slightly: once "tmpfs:
take control of its truncate_range" has been applied, this can be applied.
 For now there is only a slight inefficiency while this remains unapplied,
but it will soon become essential for managing shmem's use of swap.

Change i915_gem_object_truncate() to use shmem_truncate_range() directly:
which should also spare i915 later change if we switch from
inode_operations->truncate_range to file_operations->fallocate.

      drm/i915: use shmem_read_mapping_page · 5949eac4
      Hugh Dickins authored 
      Soon tmpfs will stop supporting ->readpage and read_cache_page_gfp(): once
"tmpfs: add shmem_read_mapping_page_gfp" has been applied, this patch can
be applied to ease the transition.

Make i915_gem_object_get_pages_gtt() use shmem_read_mapping_page_gfp() in
the one place it's needed; elsewhere use shmem_read_mapping_page(), with
the mapping's gfp_mask properly initialized.

Forget about __GFP_COLD: since tmpfs initializes its pages with memset,
asking for a cold page is counter-productive.

Include linux/shmem_fs.h also in drm_gem.c: with shmem_file_setup() now
declared there too, we shall remove the prototype from linux/mm.h later.

ttm_tt_swapin() and ttm_tt_swapout() use shmem_read_mapping_page() in
place of read_mapping_page(), since their swap_space has been created with
shmem_file_setup().

      drivers/misc/ioc4.c: fix section mismatch / race condition · 1fc6e987
      Ralf Baechle authored 
      Fix this section mismatch:

  WARNING: drivers/misc/ioc4.o(.data+0x144): Section mismatch in reference from the variable ioc4_load_modules_work to the function .devinit.text:ioc4_load_modules()
  The variable ioc4_load_modules_work references
  the function __devinit ioc4_load_modules()
  If the reference is valid then annotate the
  variable with __init* or __refdata (see linux/init.h) or name the variable:
  *driver, *_template, *_timer, *_sht, *_ops, *_probe, *_probe_one, *_console

This one is potentially fatal; by the time ioc4_load_modules is invoked
it may already have been freed.  For that reason ioc4_load_modules_work
can't be turned to __devinitdata but also because it's referenced in
ioc4_exit.

      memcg: fix direct softlimit reclaim to be called in limit path · ac34a1a3
      KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki authored 
      Commit d149e3b2 ("memcg: add the soft_limit reclaim in global direct
reclaim") adds a softlimit hook to shrink_zones().  By this, soft limit
is called as

   try_to_free_pages()
       do_try_to_free_pages()
           shrink_zones()
               mem_cgroup_soft_limit_reclaim()

Then, direct reclaim is memcg softlimit hint aware, now.

But, the memory cgroup's "limit" path can call softlimit shrinker.

   try_to_free_mem_cgroup_pages()
       do_try_to_free_pages()
           shrink_zones()
               mem_cgroup_soft_limit_reclaim()

This will cause a global reclaim when a memcg hits limit.

This is bug. soft_limit_reclaim() should be called when
scanning_global_lru(sc) == true.

And the commit adds a variable "total_scanned" for counting softlimit
scanned pages....it's not "total".  This patch removes the variable and
update sc->nr_scanned instead of it.  This will affect shrink_slab()'s
scan condition but, global LRU is scanned by softlimit and I think this
change makes sense.

TODO: avoid too much scanning of a zone when softlimit did enough work.

      taskstats: don't allow duplicate entries in listener mode · 26c4caea
      Vasiliy Kulikov authored 
      Currently a single process may register exit handlers unlimited times.
It may lead to a bloated listeners chain and very slow process
terminations.

Eg after 10KK sent TASKSTATS_CMD_ATTR_REGISTER_CPUMASKs ~300 Mb of
kernel memory is stolen for the handlers chain and "time id" shows 2-7
seconds instead of normal 0.003.  It makes it possible to exhaust all
kernel memory and to eat much of CPU time by triggerring numerous exits
on a single CPU.

The patch limits the number of times a single process may register
itself on a single CPU to one.

One little issue is kept unfixed - as taskstats_exit() is called before
exit_files() in do_exit(), the orphaned listener entry (if it was not
explicitly deregistered) is kept until the next someone's exit() and
implicit deregistration in send_cpu_listeners().  So, if a process
registered itself as a listener exits and the next spawned process gets
the same pid, it would inherit taskstats attributes.
