2010-10-27fasync: Fix placement of FASYNC flag commentLinus Torvalds1-3/+3
In commit f7347ce4ee7c ("fasync: re-organize fasync entry insertion to allow it under a spinlock") Arnd took an earlier patch of mine that had the comment about the FASYNC flag above the wrong function. When the fasync_add_entry() function was split to introduce the new fasync_insert_entry() helper function, the code that actually cares about the FASYNC bit moved to that new helper. So just move the comment to the right point. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2010-10-27exec: don't turn PF_KTHREAD off when a target command was not foundKOSAKI Motohiro1-2/+1
Presently do_execve() turns PF_KTHREAD off before search_binary_handler(). THis has a theorical risk of PF_KTHREAD getting lost. We don't have to turn PF_KTHREAD off in the ENOEXEC case. This patch moves this flag modification to after the finding of the executable file. This is only a theorical issue because kthreads do not call do_execve() directly. But fixing would be better.

2010-10-27/proc/stat: fix scalability of irq sum of all cpuKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki1-8/+2
In /proc/stat, the number of per-IRQ event is shown by making a sum each irq's events on all cpus. But we can make use of kstat_irqs(). kstat_irqs() do the same calculation, If !CONFIG_GENERIC_HARDIRQ, it's not a big cost. (Both of the number of cpus and irqs are small.) If a system is very big and CONFIG_GENERIC_HARDIRQ, it does for_each_irq() for_each_cpu() - look up a radix tree - read desc->irq_stat[cpu] This seems not efficient. This patch adds kstat_irqs() for CONFIG_GENRIC_HARDIRQ and change the calculation as for_each_irq() look up radix tree for_each_cpu() - read desc->irq_stat[cpu] This reduces cost.

2010-10-27/proc/stat: scalability of irq num per cpuKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki1-3/+1
/proc/stat shows the total number of all interrupts to each cpu. But when the number of IRQs are very large, it take very long time and 'cat /proc/stat' takes more than 10 secs. This is because sum of all irq events are counted when /proc/stat is read. This patch adds "sum of all irq" counter percpu and reduce read costs. The cost of reading /proc/stat is important because it's used by major applications as 'top', 'ps', 'w', etc....

The userland ELF tools have been coping with partial-segments core files for a few years now. Multiple distro builds are now setting this option. It behooves everyone who ever deals with core files to have more info dumped in there, especially as more and more people's compilers are producing build IDs. Make it the default.

2010-10-27core_pattern: fix truncation by core_pattern handler with long parametersXiaotian Feng1-60/+95
We met a parameter truncated issue, consider following: > echo "|/root/core_pattern_pipe_test %p /usr/libexec/blah-blah-blah \ %s %c %p %u %g 11 12345678901234567890123456789012345678 %t" > \ /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern This is okay because the strings is less than CORENAME_MAX_SIZE. "cat /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern" shows the whole string. but after we run core_pattern_pipe_test in man page, we found last parameter was truncated like below: argc[10]=<12807486> The root cause is core_pattern allows % specifiers, which need to be replaced during parse time, but the replace may expand the strings to larger than CORENAME_MAX_SIZE. So if the last parameter is % specifiers, the replace code is using snprintf(out_ptr, out_end - out_ptr, ...), this will write out of corename array.

2010-10-27fasync: re-organize fasync entry insertion to allow it under a spinlockLinus Torvalds2-17/+67
You currently cannot use "fasync_helper()" in an atomic environment to insert a new fasync entry, because it will need to allocate the new "struct fasync_struct". Yet fcntl_setlease() wants to call this under lock_flocks(), which is in the process of being converted from the BKL to a spinlock. In order to fix this, this abstracts out the actual fasync list insertion and the fasync allocations into functions of their own, and teaches fs/locks.c to pre-allocate the fasync_struct entry. That way the actual list insertion can happen while holding the required spinlock.

2010-10-26fs: allow for more than 2^31 filesEric Dumazet1-10/+7
Robin Holt tried to boot a 16TB system and found af_unix was overflowing a 32bit value : <quote> We were seeing a failure which prevented boot. The kernel was incapable of creating either a named pipe or unix domain socket. This comes down to a common kernel function called unix_create1() which does: atomic_inc(&unix_nr_socks); if (atomic_read(&unix_nr_socks) > 2 * get_max_files()) goto out; The function get_max_files() is a simple return of files_stat.max_files. files_stat.max_files is a signed integer and is computed in fs/file_table.c's files_init(). n = (mempages * (PAGE_SIZE / 1024)) / 10; files_stat.max_files = n; In our case, mempages (total_ram_pages) is approx 3,758,096,384 (0xe0000000). That leaves max_files at approximately 1,503,238,553. This causes 2 * get_max_files() to integer overflow. </quote> Fix is to let /proc/sys/fs/file-nr & /proc/sys/fs/file-max use long integers, and change af_unix to use an atomic_long_t instead of atomic_t. get_max_files() is changed to return an unsigned long. get_nr_files() is changed to return a long. unix_nr_socks is changed from atomic_t to atomic_long_t, while not strictly needed to address Robin problem.

2010-10-26procfs: fix numbering in /proc/locksJerome Marchand1-8/+11
The lock number in /proc/locks (first field) is implemented by a counter (private field of struct seq_file) which is incremented at each call of locks_show() and reset to 1 in locks_start() whatever the offset is. It should be reset according to the actual position in the list. Because of this, the numbering erratically restarts at 1 several times when reading a long /proc/locks file. Moreover, locks_show() can be called twice to print a single line thus skipping a number. The counter should be incremented in locks_next(). And last, pos is a loff_t, which can be bigger than a pointer, so we don't use the pointer as an integer anymore, and allocate a loff_t instead.

The dirty_ratio was silently limited in global_dirty_limits() to >= 5%. This is not a user expected behavior. And it's inconsistent with calc_period_shift(), which uses the plain vm_dirty_ratio value. Let's remove the internal bound. At the same time, fix balance_dirty_pages() to work with the dirty_thresh=0 case. This allows applications to proceed when dirty+writeback pages are all cleaned.

2010-10-26mm: add account_page_writeback()Michael Rubin1-1/+1
To help developers and applications gain visibility into writeback behaviour this patch adds two counters to /proc/vmstat. # grep nr_dirtied /proc/vmstat nr_dirtied 3747 # grep nr_written /proc/vmstat nr_written 3618 These entries allow user apps to understand writeback behaviour over time and learn how it is impacting their performance. Currently there is no way to inspect dirty and writeback speed over time. It's not possible for nr_dirty/nr_writeback. These entries are necessary to give visibility into writeback behaviour. We have /proc/diskstats which lets us understand the io in the block layer. We have blktrace for more in depth understanding. We have e2fsprogs and debugsfs to give insight into the file systems behaviour, but we don't offer our users the ability understand what writeback is doing. There is no way to know how active it is over the whole system, if it's falling behind or to quantify it's efforts. With these values exported users can easily see how much data applications are sending through writeback and also at what rates writeback is processing this data. Comparing the rates of change between the two allow developers to see when writeback is not able to keep up with incoming traffic and the rate of dirty memory being sent to the IO back end. This allows folks to understand their io workloads and track kernel issues. Non kernel engineers at Google often use these counters to solve puzzling performance problems. Patch #4 adds a pernode vmstat file with nr_dirtied and nr_written Patch #5 add writeback thresholds to /proc/vmstat Currently these values are in debugfs. But they should be promoted to /proc since they are useful for developers who are writing databases and file servers and are not debugging the kernel. The output is as below: # grep threshold /proc/vmstat nr_pages_dirty_threshold 409111 nr_pages_dirty_background_threshold 818223 This patch: This allows code outside of the mm core to safely manipulate page writeback state and not worry about the other accounting. Not using these routines means that some code will lose track of the accounting and we get bugs. Modify nilfs2 to use interface.

2010-10-26writeback: remove nonblocking/encountered_congestion referencesWu Fengguang8-45/+6
This removes more dead code that was somehow missed by commit 0d99519efef (writeback: remove unused nonblocking and congestion checks). There are no behavior change except for the removal of two entries from one of the ext4 tracing interface. The nonblocking checks in ->writepages are no longer used because the flusher now prefer to block on get_request_wait() than to skip inodes on IO congestion. The latter will lead to more seeky IO. The nonblocking checks in ->writepage are no longer used because it's redundant with the WB_SYNC_NONE check. We no long set ->nonblocking in VM page out and page migration, because a) it's effectively redundant with WB_SYNC_NONE in current code b) it's old semantic of "Don't get stuck on request queues" is mis-behavior: that would skip some dirty inodes on congestion and page out others, which is unfair in terms of LRU age.

2010-10-26oom: fix locking for oom_adj and oom_score_adjDavid Rientjes1-19/+21
The locking order in oom_adjust_write() and oom_score_adj_write() for task->alloc_lock and task->sighand->siglock is reversed, and lockdep notices that irqs could encounter an ABBA scenario. This fixes the locking order so that we always take task_lock(task) prior to lock_task_sighand(task).

2010-10-26oom: add per-mm oom disable countYing Han2-0/+35
It's pointless to kill a task if another thread sharing its mm cannot be killed to allow future memory freeing. A subsequent patch will prevent kills in such cases, but first it's necessary to have a way to flag a task that shares memory with an OOM_DISABLE task that doesn't incur an additional tasklist scan, which would make select_bad_process() an O(n^2) function. This patch adds an atomic counter to struct mm_struct that follows how many threads attached to it have an oom_score_adj of OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MIN. They cannot be killed by the kernel, so their memory cannot be freed in oom conditions. This only requires task_lock() on the task that we're operating on, it does not require mm->mmap_sem since task_lock() pins the mm and the operation is atomic.

2010-10-26IMA: move read counter into struct inodeEric Paris1-0/+1
IMA currently allocated an inode integrity structure for every inode in core. This stucture is about 120 bytes long. Most files however (especially on a system which doesn't make use of IMA) will never need any of this space. The problem is that if IMA is enabled we need to know information about the number of readers and the number of writers for every inode on the box. At the moment we collect that information in the per inode iint structure and waste the rest of the space. This patch moves those counters into the struct inode so we can eventually stop allocating an IMA integrity structure except when absolutely needed. This patch does the minimum needed to move the location of the data. Further cleanups, especially the location of counter updates, may still be possible.
