      eisa/pci_eisa.c: fix BUG introduced by 005bdad7 · 82de9a0c
      Arnaud Lacombe authored
      While `pci_eisa_driver' still refer `pci_eisa_init', the .probe() function
      should not be called after init memory release, as pointed out by commit
      74b9a297. The structure is still referenced in the drivers subsystem, and can
      be accesseed through sysfs, so the modpost warning is a false positive. Mark
      it as such.
      
      In the same time, the warning referenced in 005bdad7 did only mention
      `pci_eisa_driver', not `pci_eisa_pci_tbl', so remove its marking.

      dt: remove of_alias_get_id() reference · 9e191b22
      Grant Likely authored
      of_alias_get_id() is broken and being reverted.  Remove the reference
      to it and replace with a single incrementing id number.
      
      There is no risk of regression here on the imx driver since the imx
      change to use of_alias_get_id() is commit 22698aa2, "serial/imx: add
      device tree probe support" which is new for v3.1, and it won't get
      used unless CONFIG_OF is enabled and the board is booted using a
      device tree.  A single incrementing integer is sufficient for now.

      Boot up with usermodehelper disabled · 288d5abe
      Linus Torvalds authored
      The core device layer sends tons of uevent notifications for each device
      it finds, and if the kernel has been built with a non-empty
      CONFIG_UEVENT_HELPER_PATH that will make us try to execute the usermode
      helper binary for all these events very early in the boot.
      
      Not only won't the root filesystem even be mounted at that point, we
      literally won't have necessarily even initialized all the process
      handling data structures at that point, which causes no end of silly
      problems even when the usermode helper doesn't actually succeed in
      executing.
      
      So just use our existing infrastructure to disable the usermodehelpers
      to make the kernel start out with them disabled.  We enable them when
      we've at least initialized stuff a bit.
      
      Problems related to an uninitialized
      
      	init_ipc_ns.ids[IPC_SHM_IDS].rw_mutex

      shm: optimize exit_shm() · 298507d4
      Vasiliy Kulikov authored
      We may optimistically check .in_use == 0 without holding the rw_mutex:
      it's the common case, and if it's zero, there certainly won't be any
      segments associated with us.
      
      After taking the lock, the idr_for_each() will do the right thing, so we
      could now drop the re-check inside the lock without any real cost.  But
      it won't hurt.

      mm: clarify the radix_tree exceptional cases · 8079b1c8
      Hugh Dickins authored
      Make the radix_tree exceptional cases, mostly in filemap.c, clearer.
      
      It's hard to devise a suitable snappy name that illuminates the use by
      shmem/tmpfs for swap, while keeping filemap/pagecache/radix_tree
      generality.  And akpm points out that /* radix_tree_deref_retry(page) */
      comments look like calls that have been commented out for unknown
      reason.
      
      Skirt the naming difficulty by rearranging these blocks to handle the
      transient radix_tree_deref_retry(page) case first; then just explain the
      remaining shmem/tmpfs swap case in a comment.

      tmpfs radix_tree: locate_item to speed up swapoff · e504f3fd
      Hugh Dickins authored
      We have already acknowledged that swapoff of a tmpfs file is slower than
      it was before conversion to the generic radix_tree: a little slower
      there will be acceptable, if the hotter paths are faster.
      
      But it was a shock to find swapoff of a 500MB file 20 times slower on my
      laptop, taking 10 minutes; and at that rate it significantly slows down
      my testing.
      
      Now, most of that turned out to be overhead from PROVE_LOCKING and
      PROVE_RCU: without those it was only 4 times slower than before; and
      more realistic tests on other machines don't fare as badly.
      
      I've tried a number of things to improve it, including tagging the swap
      entries, then doing lookup by tag: I'd expected that to halve the time,
      but in practice it's erratic, and often counter-productive.
      
      The only change I've so far found to make a consistent improvement, is
      to short-circuit the way we go back and forth, gang lookup packing
      entries into the array supplied, then shmem scanning that array for the
      target entry.  Scanning in place doubles the speed, so it's now only
      twice as slow as before (or three times slower when the PROVEs are on).
      
      So, add radix_tree_locate_item() as an expedient, once-off,
      single-caller hack to do the lookup directly in place.  #ifdef it on
      CONFIG_SHMEM and CONFIG_SWAP, as much to document its limited
      applicability as save space in other configurations.  And, sadly,
      #include sched.h for cond_resched().

      tmpfs: use kmemdup for short symlinks · 69f07ec9
      Hugh Dickins authored
      But we've not yet removed the old swp_entry_t i_direct[16] from
      shmem_inode_info.  That's because it was still being shared with the
      inline symlink.  Remove it now (saving 64 or 128 bytes from shmem inode
      size), and use kmemdup() for short symlinks, say, those up to 128 bytes.
      
      I wonder why mpol_free_shared_policy() is done in shmem_destroy_inode()
      rather than shmem_evict_inode(), where we usually do such freeing? I
      guess it doesn't matter, and I'm not into NUMA mpol testing right now.

      tmpfs: convert shmem_writepage and enable swap · 6922c0c7
      Hugh Dickins authored
      Convert shmem_writepage() to use shmem_delete_from_page_cache() to use
      shmem_radix_tree_replace() to substitute swap entry for page pointer
      atomically in the radix tree.
      
      As with shmem_add_to_page_cache(), it's not entirely satisfactory to be
      copying such code from delete_from_swap_cache, but again judged easier
      to sell than making its other callers go through the extras.
      
      Remove the toy implementation's shmem_put_swap() and shmem_get_swap(),
      now unreferenced, and the hack to disable swap: it's now good to go.
      
      The way things have worked out, info->lock no longer helps to guard the
      shmem_swaplist: we increment swapped under shmem_swaplist_mutex only.
      That global mutex exclusion between shmem_writepage() and shmem_unuse()
      is not pretty, and we ought to find another way; but it's been forced on
      us by recent race discoveries, not a consequence of this patchset.
      
      And what has become of the WARN_ON_ONCE(1) free_swap_and_cache() if a
      swap entry was found already present? That's no longer possible, the
      (unknown) one inserting this page into filecache would hit the swap
      entry occupying that slot.

      tmpfs: convert mem_cgroup shmem to radix-swap · aa3b1895
      Hugh Dickins authored
      Remove mem_cgroup_shmem_charge_fallback(): it was only required when we
      had to move swappage to filecache with GFP_NOWAIT.
      
      Remove the GFP_NOWAIT special case from mem_cgroup_cache_charge(), by
      moving its call out from shmem_add_to_page_cache() to two of thats three
      callers.  But leave it doing mem_cgroup_uncharge_cache_page() on error:
      although asymmetrical, it's easier for all 3 callers to handle.
      
      These two changes would also be appropriate if anyone were to start
      using shmem_read_mapping_page_gfp() with GFP_NOWAIT.
      
      Remove mem_cgroup_get_shmem_target(): mc_handle_file_pte() can test
      radix_tree_exceptional_entry() to get what it needs for itself.

      tmpfs: convert shmem_getpage_gfp to radix-swap · 54af6042
      Hugh Dickins authored
      Convert shmem_getpage_gfp(), the engine-room of shmem, to expect page or
      swap entry returned from radix tree by find_lock_page().
      
      Whereas the repetitive old method proceeded mainly under info->lock,
      dropping and repeating whenever one of the conditions needed was not
      met, now we can proceed without it, leaving shmem_add_to_page_cache() to
      check for a race.
      
      This way there is no need to preallocate a page, no need for an early
      radix_tree_preload(), no need for mem_cgroup_shmem_charge_fallback().
      
      Move the error unwinding down to the bottom instead of repeating it
      throughout.  ENOSPC handling is a little different from before: there is
      no longer any race between find_lock_page() and finding swap, but we can
      arrive at ENOSPC before calling shmem_recalc_inode(), which might
      occasionally discover freed space.
      
      Be stricter to check i_size before returning.  info->lock is used for
      little but alloced, swapped, i_blocks updates.  Move i_blocks updates
      out from under the max_blocks check, so even an unlimited size=0 mount
      can show accurate du.

      tmpfs: convert shmem_unuse_inode to radix-swap · 46f65ec1
      Hugh Dickins authored
      Convert shmem_unuse_inode() to use a lockless gang lookup of the radix
      tree, searching for matching swap.
      
      This is somewhat slower than the old method: because of repeated radix
      tree descents, because of copying entries up, but probably most because
      the old method noted and skipped once a vector page was cleared of swap.
      Perhaps we can devise a use of radix tree tagging to achieve that later.
      
      shmem_add_to_page_cache() uses shmem_radix_tree_replace() to compensate
      for the lockless lookup by checking that the expected entry is in place,
      under lock.  It is not very satisfactory to be copying this much from
      add_to_page_cache_locked(), but I think easier to sell than insisting
      that every caller of add_to_page_cache*() go through the extras.

      tmpfs: convert shmem_truncate_range to radix-swap · 7a5d0fbb
      Hugh Dickins authored
      Disable the toy swapping implementation in shmem_writepage() - it's hard
      to support two schemes at once - and convert shmem_truncate_range() to a
      lockless gang lookup of swap entries along with pages, freeing both.
      
      Since the second loop tightens its noose until all entries of either
      kind have been squeezed out (and we shall make sure that there's not an
      instant when neither is visible), there is no longer a need for yet
      another pass below.
      
      shmem_radix_tree_replace() compensates for the lockless lookup by
      checking that the expected entry is in place, under lock, before
      replacing it.  Here it just deletes, but will be used in later patches
      to substitute swap entry for page or page for swap entry.

      tmpfs: demolish old swap vector support · 285b2c4f
      Hugh Dickins authored
      The maximum size of a shmem/tmpfs file has been limited by the maximum
      size of its triple-indirect swap vector.  With 4kB page size, maximum
      filesize was just over 2TB on a 32-bit kernel, but sadly one eighth of
      that on a 64-bit kernel.  (With 8kB page size, maximum filesize was just
      over 4TB on a 64-bit kernel, but 16TB on a 32-bit kernel,
      MAX_LFS_FILESIZE being then more restrictive than swap vector layout.)
      
      It's a shame that tmpfs should be more restrictive than ramfs, and this
      limitation has now been noticed.  Add another level to the swap vector?
      No, it became obscure and hard to maintain, once I complicated it to
      make use of highmem pages nine years ago: better choose another way.
      
      Surely, if 2.4 had had the radix tree pagecache introduced in 2.5, then
      tmpfs would never have invented its own peculiar radix tree: we would
      have fitted swap entries into the common radix tree instead, in much the
      same way as we fit swap entries into page tables.
      
      And why should each file have a separate radix tree for its pages and
      for its swap entries? The swap entries are required precisely where and
      when the pages are not.  We want to put them together in a single radix
      tree: which can then avoid much of the locking which was needed to
      prevent them from being exchanged underneath us.
      
      This also avoids the waste of memory devoted to swap vectors, first in
      the shmem_inode itself, then at least two more pages once a file grew
      beyond 16 data pages (pages accounted by df and du, but not by memcg).
      Allocated upfront, to avoid allocation when under swapping pressure, but
      pure waste when CONFIG_SWAP is not set - I have never spattered around
      the ifdefs to prevent that, preferring this move to sharing the common
      radix tree instead.
      
      There are three downsides to sharing the radix tree.  One, that it binds
      tmpfs more tightly to the rest of mm, either requiring knowledge of swap
      entries in radix tree there, or duplication of its code here in shmem.c.
      I believe that the simplications and memory savings (and probable higher
      performance, not yet measured) justify that.
      
      Two, that on HIGHMEM systems with SWAP enabled, it's the lowmem radix
      nodes that cannot be freed under memory pressure - whereas before it was
      the less precious highmem swap vector pages that could not be freed.
      I'm hoping that 64-bit has now been accessible for long enough, that the
      highmem argument has grown much less persuasive.
      
      Three, that swapoff is slower than it used to be on tmpfs files, since
      it's using a simple generic mechanism not tailored to it: I find this
      noticeable, and shall want to improve, but maybe nobody else will
      notice.
      
      So...  now remove most of the old swap vector code from shmem.c.  But,
      for the moment, keep the simple i_direct vector of 16 pages, with simple
      accessors shmem_put_swap() and shmem_get_swap(), as a toy implementation
      to help mark where swap needs to be handled in subsequent patches.

      mm: let swap use exceptional entries · a2c16d6c
      Hugh Dickins authored
      If swap entries are to be stored along with struct page pointers in a
      radix tree, they need to be distinguished as exceptional entries.
      
      Most of the handling of swap entries in radix tree will be contained in
      shmem.c, but a few functions in filemap.c's common code need to check
      for their appearance: find_get_page(), find_lock_page(),
      find_get_pages() and find_get_pages_contig().
      
      So as not to slow their fast paths, tuck those checks inside the
      existing checks for unlikely radix_tree_deref_slot(); except for
      find_lock_page(), where it is an added test.  And make it a BUG in
      find_get_pages_tag(), which is not applied to tmpfs files.
      
      A part of the reason for eliminating shmem_readpage() earlier, was to
      minimize the places where common code would need to allow for swap
      entries.
      
      The swp_entry_t known to swapfile.c must be massaged into a slightly
      different form when stored in the radix tree, just as it gets massaged
      into a pte_t when stored in page tables.
      
      In an i386 kernel this limits its information (type and page offset) to
      30 bits: given 32 "types" of swapfile and 4kB pagesize, that's a maximum
      swapfile size of 128GB.  Which is less than the 512GB we previously
      allowed with X86_PAE (where the swap entry can occupy the entire upper
      32 bits of a pte_t), but not a new limitation on 32-bit without PAE; and
      there's not a new limitation on 64-bit (where swap filesize is already
      limited to 16TB by a 32-bit page offset).  Thirty areas of 128GB is
      probably still enough swap for a 64GB 32-bit machine.
      
      Provide swp_to_radix_entry() and radix_to_swp_entry() conversions, and
      enforce filesize limit in read_swap_header(), just as for ptes.

      radix_tree: exceptional entries and indices · 6328650b
      Hugh Dickins authored
      A patchset to extend tmpfs to MAX_LFS_FILESIZE by abandoning its
      peculiar swap vector, instead keeping a file's swap entries in the same
      radix tree as its struct page pointers: thus saving memory, and
      simplifying its code and locking.
      
      This patch:
      
      The radix_tree is used by several subsystems for different purposes.  A
      major use is to store the struct page pointers of a file's pagecache for
      memory management.  But what if mm wanted to store something other than
      page pointers there too?
      
      The low bit of a radix_tree entry is already used to denote an indirect
      pointer, for internal use, and the unlikely radix_tree_deref_retry()
      case.
      
      Define the next bit as denoting an exceptional entry, and supply inline
      functions radix_tree_exception() to return non-0 in either unlikely
      case, and radix_tree_exceptional_entry() to return non-0 in the second
      case.
      
      If a subsystem already uses radix_tree with that bit set, no problem: it
      does not affect internal workings at all, but is defined for the
      convenience of those storing well-aligned pointers in the radix_tree.
      
      The radix_tree_gang_lookups have an implicit assumption that the caller
      can deduce the offset of each entry returned e.g.  by the page->index of
      a struct page.  But that may not be feasible for some kinds of item to
      be stored there.
      
      radix_tree_gang_lookup_slot() allow for an optional indices argument,
      output array in which to return those offsets.  The same could be added
      to other radix_tree_gang_lookups, but for now keep it to the only one
      for which we need it.
