Call clone_init early We need to call clone_init as early as possible - at least before call bio_put(clone) in any error path. Otherwise, the destructor will try to dereference bi_private, which may still be NULL. Signed-off-by:

Disable barriers in dm-crypt because of current workqueue processing can reorder requests. This must be addresed later but for now disabling barriers is needed to prevent data corruption. Signed-off-by:

This patch replaces the single instance of kmirrord by one instance per mirror set. This change is required to avoid a deadlock in kmirrord when the persistent dirty log of a mirror itself resides on a mirror. The single instance of kmirrord then issues a sync write to the dirty log in write_bits which gets deferred to kmirrord itself later in the call chain. But kmirrord never does the deferred work because it is still waiting for the sync write_bits. _mirror_sets is removed as it no longer needed, and we always flush the workqueue before destroying it to ensure all work is complete before destroying it.

In some cases SLUB is creating uselessly slabs that are larger than slub_max_order. Also the layout of some of the slabs was not satisfactory. Go to an iterarive approach. Signed-off-by:

We have information about how long an object existed and about the nodes and cpus where the allocations and frees took place. Add that information to the tracking output in /sys/slab/xx/alloc_calls and /sys/slab/free_calls This will then enable slabinfo to output nice reports like this: christoph@qirst:~/slub$ ./slabinfo kmalloc-128 Slabcache: kmalloc-128 Aliases: 0 Order : 0 Sizes (bytes) Slabs Debug Memory ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Object : 128 Total : 12 Sanity Checks : On Total: 49152 SlabObj: 200 Full : 7 Redzoning : On Used : 24832 SlabSiz: 4096 Partial: 4 Poisoning : On Loss : 24320 Loss : 72 CpuSlab: 1 Tracking : On Lalig: 13968 Align : 8 Objects: 20 Tracing : Off Lpadd: 1152 kmalloc-128 has no kmem_cache operations kmalloc-128: Kernel object allocation ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 6 param_sysfs_setup+0x71/0x130 age=284512/284512/284512 pid=1 nodes=0-1,3 11 percpu_populate+0x39/0x80 age=283914/284428/284512 pid=1 nodes=0 21 __register_chrdev_region+0x31/0x170 age=282896/284347/284473 pid=1-1705 nodes=0-2 1 sys_inotify_init+0x76/0x1c0 age=283423 pid=1004 nodes=0 19 as_get_io_context+0x32/0xd0 age=6/247567/283988 pid=1-11782 nodes=0,2 10 ida_pre_get+0x4a/0x80 age=277666/283773/284526 pid=0-2177 nodes=0,2 24 kobject_kset_add_dir+0x37/0xb0 age=282727/283860/284472 pid=1-1723 nodes=0-2 1 acpi_ds_build_internal_buffer_obj+0xd3/0x11d age=284508 pid=1 nodes=0 24 con_insert_unipair+0xd7/0x110 age=284438/284438/284438 pid=1 nodes=0,2 1 uart_open+0x2d2/0x4b0 age=283896 pid=1 nodes=0 26 dma_pool_create+0x73/0x1a0 age=282762/282833/282916 pid=1705-1723 nodes=0 1 neigh_table_init_no_netlink+0xd2/0x210 age=284461 pid=1 nodes=0 2 neigh_parms_alloc+0x2b/0xe0 age=284410/284411/284412 pid=1 nodes=2 2 neigh_resolve_output+0x1e1/0x280 age=276289/276291/276293 pid=0-2443 nodes=0 1 netlink_kernel_create+0x90/0x170 age=284472 pid=1 nodes=0 4 xt_alloc_table_info+0x39/0xf0 age=283958/283958/283959 pid=1 nodes=1 3 fn_hash_insert+0x473/0x720 age=277653/277661/277666 pid=2177-2185 nodes=0 1 get_mtrr_state+0x285/0x2a0 age=284526 pid=0 nodes=0 1 cacheinfo_cpu_callback+0x26d/0x3e0 age=284458 pid=1 nodes=0 29 kernel_param_sysfs_setup+0x25/0x90 age=284511/284511/284512 pid=1 nodes=0-1,3 5 process_zones+0x5e/0x170 age=284546/284546/284546 pid=0 nodes=0 1 drm_core_init+0x48/0x160 age=284421 pid=1 nodes=2 kmalloc-128: Kernel object freeing ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 163 <not-available> age=4295176847 pid=0 nodes=0-3 1 __vunmap+0x6e/0xf0 age=282907 pid=1723 nodes=0 28 free_as_io_context+0x12/0x90 age=9243/262197/283474 pid=42-11754 nodes=0 1 acpi_get_object_info+0x1b7/0x1d4 age=284475 pid=1 nodes=0 1 do_acpi_find_child+0x45/0x4e age=284475 pid=1 nodes=0 NUMA nodes : 0 1 2 3 ------------------------------------------ All slabs 7 2 2 1 Partial slabs 2 2 0 0 Signed-off-by: -

CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG can be used to switch off the debugging and sysfs components of SLUB. Thus SLUB will be able to replace SLOB. SLUB can arrange objects in a denser way than SLOB and the code size should be minimal without debugging and sysfs support. Note that CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG is materially different from CONFIG_SLAB_DEBUG. CONFIG_SLAB_DEBUG is used to enable slab debugging in SLAB. SLUB enables debugging via a boot parameter. SLUB debug code should always be present. CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG can be modified in the embedded config section. Signed-off-by:

Its only purpose was to bring some sort of symmetry to sysfs usage when dealing with bootstrapping per cpu flushing. Since we do not time out slabs anymore we have no need to run finish_bootstrap even without sysfs. Fold it back into slab_sysfs_init and drop the initcall for the !SYFS case. Signed-off-by:

SLUB currently assumes that the cacheline size is static. However, i386 f.e. supports dynamic cache line size determination. Use cache_line_size() instead of L1_CACHE_BYTES in the allocator. That also explains the purpose of SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN. So we will need to keep that one around to allow dynamic aligning of objects depending on boot determination of the cache line size.

In the process of rewriting the x86 setup code, I found a number of inaccuracies and outdated recommendations in the boot protocol documentation. Revamp to make it more up to date. In particular, the common use of the heap actually requires (slightly) more than 4K of heap plus stack, which is the recommended amount in the document; currently the code compensates by being smaller than specified, but we can't assume that will be true forever. Thus, recommend that if we have a modern bzImage kernel, that the bootloader maximizes the available space. Signed-off-by:

revert 'sched: redundant reschedule when set_user_nice() boosts a prio of a task from the "expired" array' Revert commit bd53f96c. Con says: This is no good, sorry. The one I saw originally was with the staircase deadline cpu scheduler in situ and was different. #define TASK_PREEMPTS_CURR(p, rq) \ ((p)->prio < (rq)->curr->prio) (((p)->prio < (rq)->curr->prio) && ((p)->array == (rq)->active)) This will fail to wake up a runqueue for a task that has been migrated to the expired array of a runqueue which is otherwise idle which can happen with smp balancing, Cc: Dmitry Adamushko <dmitry.adamushko@gmail.com> Cc: Con Kolivas <kernel@kolivas.org> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by:

Miscellaneous fixes to bring FRV up to date: (1) Copy the new syscall numbers from i386 to asm-frv/unistd.h and fill out the syscall table in entry.S too. (2) Mark __frv_uart0 and __frv_uart1 __pminitdata rather than __initdata so that determine_clocks() can access them when CONFIG_PM=y. (3) Make arch/frv/mm/elf-fdpic.c include asm/mman.h so that MAP_FIXED is available (fixes commit 2fd3beba). Signed-off-by: -
