Vito said: : The system has many usb disks coming and going day to day, with their : respective bdi's having min_ratio set to 1 when inserted. It works for : some time until eventually min_ratio can no longer be set, even when the : active set of bdi's seen in /sys/class/bdi/*/min_ratio doesn't add up to : anywhere near 100. : : This then leads to an unrelated starvation problem caused by write-heavy : fuse mounts being used atop the usb disks, a problem the min_ratio setting : at the underlying devices bdi effectively prevents. Fix this leakage by resetting the bdi min_ratio when unregistering the BDI.

This: vma->vm_pgoff & ~(huge_page_mask(h) >> PAGE_SHIFT) is incorrect on 32-bit. It causes us to & the pgoff with something that looks like this (for a 4m hugepage): 0xfff003ff.

If a semaphore array is removed and in parallel a sleeping task is woken up (signal or timeout, does not matter), then the woken up task does not wait until wake_up_sem_queue_do() is completed. This will cause crashes, because wake_up_sem_queue_do() will read from a stale pointer. The fix is simple: Regardless of anything, always call get_queue_result(). This function waits until wake_up_sem_queue_do() has finished it's task.

The commit f02e8a65 sorts symbols placing each of them in its own elf section. The sorting and merging into the canonical sections are done by the linker. Unfortunately modpost to generate Module.symvers file parses vmlinux (already linked) and all modules object files (which aren't linked yet). These aren't sanitized by the linker yet. That breaks modpost that can't detect license properly for modules. This patch makes modpost aware of the new exported symbols structure. Thanks to Arnaud Lacombe <lacombar@gmail.com> and Anders Kaseorg <andersk@ksplice.com> for providing useful suggestions about code.

Userspace wants to manage module parameters with udev rules. This currently only works for loaded modules, but not for built-in ones. To allow access to the built-in modules we need to re-trigger all module load events that happened before any userspace was running. We already do the same thing for all devices, subsystems(buses) and drivers. This adds the currently missing /sys/module/<name>/uevent files to all module entries.

IOMMU interrupt remapping support provides a further layer of isolation for device assignment by preventing arbitrary interrupt block DMA writes by a malicious guest from reaching the host. By default, we should require that the platform provides interrupt remapping support, with an opt-in mechanism for existing behavior. Both AMD IOMMU and Intel VT-d2 hardware support interrupt remapping, however we currently only have software support on the Intel side. Users wishing to re-enable device assignment when interrupt remapping is not supported on the platform can use the "allow_unsafe_assigned_interrupts=1" module option.

Xiao Guangrong authored
The idea is from Avi: | We could cache the result of a miss in an spte by using a reserved bit, and | checking the page fault error code (or seeing if we get an ept violation or | ept misconfiguration), so if we get repeated mmio on a page, we don't need to | search the slot list/tree. | (https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/2/22/221) When the page fault is caused by mmio, we cache the info in the shadow page table, and also set the reserved bits in the shadow page table, so if the mmio is caused again, we can quickly identify it and emulate it directly Searching mmio gfn in memslots is heavy since we need to walk all memeslots, it can be reduced by this feature, and also avoid walking guest page table for soft mmu.
