There is substantial latency in generation and handling of PPS events
from the NIC, which we have to correct for before passing a host
timestamp to the PPS subsystem. We compare clocks with the MC,
giving us two offsets to subtract from the timestamp generated by
pps_get_ts():
(a) Time from the last good sync (where we got host and NIC timestamps
for nearly the same instant) to the time we called pps_get_ts()
(b) Time from NIC top of second to the last good sync
We currently calculate (a) + (b) in a quite confusing way.
Instead, calculate (a) completely, then add (b) to it.

The 9p-virtio transport does zero copy on things larger than 1024 bytes
in size. It accomplishes this by returning the physical addresses of
pages to the virtio-pci device. At present, the translation is usually a
bit shift.
That approach produces an invalid page address when we read/write to
vmalloc buffers, such as those used for Linux kernel modules. Any
attempt to load a Linux kernel module from 9p-virtio produces the
following stack.
[<ffffffff814878ce>] p9_virtio_zc_request+0x45e/0x510
[<ffffffff814814ed>] p9_client_zc_rpc.constprop.16+0xfd/0x4f0

[<ffffffff81153571>] kernel_read+0x41/0x60
[<ffffffff810c83ab>] copy_module_from_fd.isra.34+0xfb/0x180
Subsequently, QEMU will die printing:
qemu-system-x86_64: virtio: trying to map MMIO memory
This patch enables 9p-virtio to correctly handle this case. This not
only enables us to load Linux kernel modules off virtfs, but also
enables ZFS file-based vdevs on virtfs to be used without killing QEMU.
Special thanks to both Avi Kivity and Alexander Graf for their
interpretation of QEMU backtraces. Without their guidence, tracking down
this bug would have taken much longer. Also, special thanks to Linus

System call linkat first calls user_path_at(), check the existence of

work. There may exist a race when Node A create a hard link for file
while node B rm it.

find old dentry exist
rm file, add inode say inodeA
to orphan_dir
call ocfs2_link(),create a
hard link for inodeA.
rm the link, add inodeA to orphan_dir
again
When orphan_scan work start, it calls ocfs2_queue_orphans() to do the
main work. It first tranverses entrys in orphan_dir, linking all inodes
in this orphan_dir to a list look like this:
inodeA->inodeB->...->inodeA
When tranvering this list, it will fall into loop, calling iput() again
and again. And finally trigger BUG_ON(inode->i_state & I_CLEAR).

fs-writeback will release the dirty pages without page lock whose offset
are over inode size, the release happens at
block_write_full_page_endio(). If not update, dirty pages in file holes
may be released before flushed to the disk, then file holes will contain
some non-zero data, this will cause sparse file md5sum error.
To reproduce the bug, find a big sparse file with many holes, like vm
image file, its actual size should be bigger than available mem size to
make writeback work more frequently, tar it with -S option, then keep
untar it and check its md5sum again and again until you get a wrong
md5sum.

The issue scenario is as following:

- ftruncate the file back to the original size again. but the disk free

In order to solve the issue above, we modified ocfs2_setattr(), if
attr->ia_size != i_size_read(inode), It calls ocfs2_truncate_file(), and
truncate disk space to attr->ia_size.

mce-test detected a test failure when injecting error to a thp tail
page. This is because we take page refcount of the tail page in
madvise_hwpoison() while the fix in commit a3e0f9e47d
("mm/memory-failure.c: transfer page count from head page to tail page
after split thp") assumes that we always take refcount on the head page.
When a real memory error happens we take refcount on the head page where
memory_failure() is called without MF_COUNT_INCREASED set, so it seems
to me that testing memory error on thp tail page using madvise makes
little sense.
This patch cancels moving refcount in !MF_COUNT_INCREASED for valid
testing.

Changes in commit a0b8cab3b9 ("mm: remove lru parameter from
__pagevec_lru_add and remove parts of pagevec API") have introduced a
call to add_to_page_cache_lru() which causes a leak in nfs_symlink() as
now the page gets an extra refcount that is not dropped.
Jan Stancek observed and reported the leak effect while running test8
from Connectathon Testsuite. After several iterations over the test
case, which creates several symlinks on a NFS mountpoint, the test
system was quickly getting into an out-of-memory scenario.
This patch fixes the page leak by dropping that extra refcount
add_to_page_cache_lru() is grabbing.

His solution was to add a spinlock in order to quiet lockdep. Although
there would be no contention to adding the lock, that lock also requires
disabling of interrupts which will have a larger impact on the system.
Instead of adding a spinlock to a location where it is not needed for
lockdep, make a __remove_partial() function that does not test if the
list_lock is held, as no one should have it due to it being freed.
Also added a __add_partial() function that does not do the lock
validation either, as it is not needed for the creation of the cache.

Recently due to a spike in connections per second memcached on 3
separate boxes triggered the OOM killer from accept. At the time the
OOM killer was triggered there was 4GB out of 36GB free in zone 1. The
problem was that alloc_fdtable was allocating an order 3 page (32KiB) to
hold a bitmap, and there was sufficient fragmentation that the largest
page available was 8KiB.
I find the logic that PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER can't fail pretty dubious
but I do agree that order 3 allocations are very likely to succeed.
There are always pathologies where order > 0 allocations can fail when
there are copious amounts of free memory available. Using the pigeon
hole principle it is easy to show that it requires 1 page more than 50%
of the pages being free to guarantee an order 1 (8KiB) allocation will
succeed, 1 page more than 75% of the pages being free to guarantee an
order 2 (16KiB) allocation will succeed and 1 page more than 87.5% of
the pages being free to guarantee an order 3 allocate will succeed.
A server churning memory with a lot of small requests and replies like
memcached is a common case that if anything can will skew the odds
against large pages being available.
Therefore let's not give external applications a practical way to kill
linux server applications, and specify __GFP_NORETRY to the kmalloc in
alloc_fdmem. Unless I am misreading the code and by the time the code
reaches should_alloc_retry in __alloc_pages_slowpath (where
__GFP_NORETRY becomes signification). We have already tried everything
reasonable to allocate a page and the only thing left to do is wait. So
not waiting and falling back to vmalloc immediately seems like the
reasonable thing to do even if there wasn't a chance of triggering the
OOM killer.

The issue could not be reproduced under an HVM instance with the same
kernel, so it appears to be exclusive to paravirtual Xen guests. He
bisected the problem to commit 1667918b64 ("mm: numa: clear numa
hinting information on mprotect") that was also included in 3.12-stable.
The problem was related to how xen translates ptes because it was not
accounting for the _PAGE_NUMA bit. This patch splits pte_present to add
a pteval_present helper for use by xen so both bare metal and xen use
the same code when checking if a PTE is present.

Commit c65c1877bd ("slub: use lockdep_assert_held") incorrectly
required that add_full() and remove_full() hold n->list_lock. The lock
is only taken when kmem_cache_debug(s), since that's the only time it
actually does anything.
Require that the lock only be taken under such a condition.

Currently, update_note_header_size_elf64() and
update_note_header_size_elf32() will add the size of a PT_NOTE entry to
real_sz even if that causes real_sz to exceeds max_sz. This patch
corrects the while loop logic in those routines to ensure that does not
happen and prints a warning if a PT_NOTE entry is dropped. If zero
PT_NOTE entries are found or this condition is encountered because the
only entry was dropped, a warning is printed and an error is returned.
One possible negative side effect of exceeding the max_sz limit is an
allocation failure in merge_note_headers_elf64() or
merge_note_headers_elf32() which would produce console output such as
the following while booting the crash kernel.
vmalloc: allocation failure: 14076997632 bytes

This type of failure has been seen on a four socket prototype system
with certain memory configurations. Most PT_NOTE sections have a single
entry similar to:
n_namesz = 0x5
n_descsz = 0x150
n_type = 0x1
Occasionally, a second entry is encountered with very large n_namesz and
n_descsz sizes:
n_namesz = 0x80000008
n_descsz = 0x510ae163
n_type = 0x80000008
Not yet sure of the source of these extra entries, they seem bogus, but
they shouldn't cause crash dump to fail.
