b20a35035f [PATCH] page migration reorg
Centralize the page migration functions in anticipation of additional
tinkering.  Creates a new file mm/migrate.c

1. Extract buffer_migrate_page() from fs/buffer.c

2. Extract central migration code from vmscan.c

3. Extract some components from mempolicy.c

4. Export pageout() and remove_from_swap() from vmscan.c

5. Make it possible to configure NUMA systems without page migration
   and non-NUMA systems with page migration.

I had to so some #ifdeffing in mempolicy.c that may need a cleanup.

b45b5bd65f [PATCH] hugepage: Strict page reservation for hugepage inodes
These days, hugepages are demand-allocated at first fault time.  There's a
somewhat dubious (and racy) heuristic when making a new mmap() to check if
there are enough available hugepages to fully satisfy that mapping.

A particularly obvious case where the heuristic breaks down is where a
process maps its hugepages not as a single chunk, but as a bunch of
individually mmap()ed (or shmat()ed) blocks without touching and
instantiating the pages in between allocations.  In this case the size of
each block is compared against the total number of available hugepages.
It's thus easy for the process to become overcommitted, because each block
mapping will succeed, although the total number of hugepages required by
all blocks exceeds the number available.  In particular, this defeats such
a program which will detect a mapping failure and adjust its hugepage usage
downward accordingly.

The patch below addresses this problem, by strictly reserving a number of
physical hugepages for hugepage inodes which have been mapped, but not
instatiated.  MAP_SHARED mappings are thus "safe" - they will fail on
mmap(), not later with an OOM SIGKILL.  MAP_PRIVATE mappings can still
trigger an OOM.  (Actually SHARED mappings can technically still OOM, but
only if the sysadmin explicitly reduces the hugepage pool between mapping
and instantiation)

This patch appears to address the problem at hand - it allows DB2 to start
correctly, for instance, which previously suffered the failure described
above.

This patch causes no regressions on the libhugetblfs testsuite, and makes a
test (designed to catch this problem) pass which previously failed (ppc64,
POWER5).

ac2b898ca6 [PATCH] slab: Remove SLAB_NO_REAP option
SLAB_NO_REAP is documented as an option that will cause this slab not to be
reaped under memory pressure.  However, that is not what happens.  The only
thing that SLAB_NO_REAP controls at the moment is the reclaim of the unused
slab elements that were allocated in batch in cache_reap().  Cache_reap()
is run every few seconds independently of memory pressure.

Could we remove the whole thing?  Its only used by three slabs anyways and
I cannot find a reason for having this option.

There is an additional problem with SLAB_NO_REAP.  If set then the recovery
of objects from alien caches is switched off.  Objects not freed on the
same node where they were initially allocated will only be reused if a
certain amount of objects accumulates from one alien node (not very likely)
or if the cache is explicitly shrunk.  (Strangely __cache_shrink does not
check for SLAB_NO_REAP)

Getting rid of SLAB_NO_REAP fixes the problems with alien cache freeing.

5e7a99ac45 [PATCH] v9fs: assign dentry ops to negative dentries
If a file is not found in v9fs_vfs_lookup, the function creates negative
dentry, but doesn't assign any dentry ops.  This leaves the negative entry
in the cache (there is no d_delete to mark it for removal).  If the file is
created outside of the mounted v9fs filesystem, the file shows up in the
directory with weird permissions.

This patch assigns the default v9fs dentry ops to the negative dentry.

2d7f2ea9c9 [PATCH] Fix ext2 readdir f_pos re-validation logic
This fixes not one, but _two_, silly (but admittedly hard to hit) bugs
in the ext2 filesystem "readdir()" function.  It also cleans up the code
to avoid the unnecessary goto mess.

The bugs were related to re-valiating the f_pos value after somebody had
either done an "lseek()" on the directory to an invalid offset, or when
the offset had become invalid due to a file being unlinked in the
directory.  The code would not only set the f_version too eagerly, it
would also not update f_pos appropriately for when the offset fixup took
place.

When that happened, we'd occasionally subsequently fail the readdir()
even when we shouldn't (no real harm done, but an ugly printk, and
obviously you would end up not necessarily seeing all entries).

Thanks to Masoud Sharbiani <masouds@google.com> who noticed the problem
and had a test-case for it, and also fixed up a thinko in the first
version of this patch.

4983da07f1 [PATCH] page migration: fail if page is in a vma flagged VM_LOCKED
page migration currently simply retries a couple of times if try_to_unmap()
fails without inspecting the return code.

However, SWAP_FAIL indicates that the page is in a vma that has the
VM_LOCKED flag set (if ignore_refs ==1).  We can check for that return code
and avoid retrying the migration.

migrate_page_remove_references() now needs to return a reason why the
failure occured.  So switch migrate_page_remove_references to use -Exx
style error messages.

3fb962bde4 Fix a direct I/O locking issue revealed by the new mutex code.
Affects only XFS (i.e. DIO_OWN_LOCKING case) - currently it is
not possible to get i_mutex locking correct when using DIO_OWN
direct I/O locking in a filesystem due to indeterminism in the
possible return code/lock/unlock combinations.  This can cause
a direct read to attempt a double i_mutex unlock inside XFS.

We're now ensuring __blockdev_direct_IO always exits with the
inode i_mutex (still) held for a direct reader.

Tested with the three different locking modes (via direct block
device access, ext3 and XFS) - both reading and writing; cannot
find any regressions resulting from this change, and it clearly
fixes the mutex_unlock warning originally reported here:

143f412eb4 [PATCH] NFS: Fix a potential panic in O_DIRECT
Based on an original patch by Mike O'Connor and Greg Banks of SGI.

Mike states:

A normal user can panic an NFS client and cause a local DoS with
'judicious'(?) use of O_DIRECT.  Any O_DIRECT write to an NFS file where the
user buffer starts with a valid mapped page and contains an unmapped page,
will crash in this way.  I haven't followed the code, but O_DIRECT reads with
similar user buffers will probably also crash albeit in different ways.

Details: when nfs_get_user_pages() calls get_user_pages(), it detects and
correctly handles get_user_pages() returning an error, which happens if the
first page covered by the user buffer's address range is unmapped.  However,
if the first page is mapped but some subsequent page isn't, get_user_pages()
will return a positive number which is less than the number of pages requested
(this behaviour is sort of analagous to a short write() call and appears to be
intentional).  nfs_get_user_pages() doesn't detect this and hands off the
array of pages (whose last few elements are random rubbish from the newly
allocated array memory) to it's caller, whence they go to
nfs_direct_write_seg(), which then totally ignores the nr_pages it's given,
and calculates its own idea of how many pages are in the array from the user
buffer length.  Needless to say, when it comes to transmit those uninitialised
page* pointers, we see a crash in the network stack.

device is a fake device (capacity=0) and we do know nothing about blocksize

rejected until the device analysis is either finished or an unformatted device
was detected.

529bf6be5c [PATCH] fix file counting
I have benchmarked this on an x86_64 NUMA system and see no significant
performance difference on kernbench.  Tested on both x86_64 and powerpc.

The way we do file struct accounting is not very suitable for batched
freeing.  For scalability reasons, file accounting was
constructor/destructor based.  This meant that nr_files was decremented
only when the object was removed from the slab cache.  This is susceptible
to slab fragmentation.  With RCU based file structure, consequent batched
freeing and a test program like Serge's, we just speed this up and end up
with a very fragmented slab -

llm22:~ # cat /proc/sys/fs/file-nr
587730  0       758844

At the same time, I see only a 2000+ objects in filp cache.  The following
patch I fixes this problem.

This patch changes the file counting by removing the filp_count_lock.
Instead we use a separate percpu counter, nr_files, for now and all
accesses to it are through get_nr_files() api.  In the sysctl handler for
nr_files, we populate files_stat.nr_files before returning to user.

Counting files as an when they are created and destroyed (as opposed to
inside slab) allows us to correctly count open files with RCU.

4d6660eb36 [PATCH] udf: fix uid/gid options and add uid/gid=ignore and forget options
Fix a bug in udf where it would write uid/gid = 0 to the disk for files
owned by the id given with the uid=/gid= mount options.  It also adds 4 new
mount options: uid/gid=forget and uid/gid=ignore.  Without any options the
id in core and on disk always match.  Giving uid/gid=nnn specifies a
default ID to be used in core when the on disk ID is -1.  uid/gid=ignore
forces the in core ID to allways be used no matter what the on disk ID is.
uid/gid=forget forces the on disk ID to always be written out as -1.

The use of these options allows you to override ownerships on a disk or
disable ownwership information from being written, allowing the media to be
used portably between different computers and possibly different users
without permissions issues that would require root to correct.

ad820c5dd4 [PATCH] smaps: shared fix
The point of the smaps "shared" is to count the number of pages that are
mapped by more than one process, according to Mauricio Lin.  However, smaps
uses page_count for this, so it will return a false positive for every page
that is mapped by just that one process, which is also in pagecache or
swapcache.  There are false positive situations for anonymous pages not in
swapcache as well: - page reclaim, migration - get_user_pages (eg.
direct-io, ptrace)

Use page_mapcount instead, to count the number of mappings to the page.

Use vm_normal_page so that weird things like /dev/mem aren't counted either.

ecbd3a632c [PATCH] ramfs needs to update directory m/ctime on symlink
ramfs neglects to update the directory mtime and ctime fields when creating
a new symbolic link.  Ramfs was modified in 2.6.15 to update these fields
when other types of entries are created.  The symlink support is separate
from that other support, so that change did not cover quite all of the
possibilities.

All of the directory content manipulation entry points now seem to be
covered with respect to these time field updates.
