      HWPOISON: Stop shrinking at right page count · 47f43e7e
      Andi Kleen authored
      
      
      When we call the slab shrinker to free a page we need to stop at
      page count one because the caller always holds a single reference, not zero.
      
      This avoids useless looping over slab shrinkers and freeing too much
      memory.

      HWPOISON: Report correct address granuality for AO huge page errors · 0d9ee6a2

      The SIGBUS user space signalling is supposed to report the
      address granuality of a corruption. Pass this information correctly
      for huge pages by querying the hpage order.

      HWPOISON: Copy si_addr_lsb to user · a337fdac
      Andi Kleen authored
      
      
      The original hwpoison code added a new siginfo field si_addr_lsb to
      pass the granuality of the fault address to user space. Unfortunately
      this field was never copied to user space. Fix this here.
      
      I added explicit checks for the MCEERR codes to avoid having
      to patch all potential callers to initialize the field.

      elevator: fix oops on early call to elevator_change() · 430c62fb
      Jens Axboe authored
      
      
      2.6.36 introduces an API for drivers to switch the IO scheduler
      instead of manually calling the elevator exit and init functions.
      This API was added since q->elevator must be cleared in between
      those two calls. And since we already have this functionality
      directly from use by the sysfs interface to switch schedulers
      online, it was prudent to reuse it internally too.
      
      But this API needs the queue to be in a fully initialized state
      before it is called, or it will attempt to unregister elevator
      kobjects before they have been added. This results in an oops
      like this:

      xfs: properly account for reclaimed inodes · 081003ff
      Johannes Weiner authored
      When marking an inode reclaimable, a per-AG counter is increased, the
      inode is tagged reclaimable in its per-AG tree, and, when this is the
      first reclaimable inode in the AG, the AG entry in the per-mount tree
      is also tagged.
      
      When an inode is finally reclaimed, however, it is only deleted from
      the per-AG tree.  Neither the counter is decreased, nor is the parent
      tree's AG entry untagged properly.
      
      Since the tags in the per-mount tree are not cleared, the inode
      shrinker iterates over all AGs that have had reclaimable inodes at one
      point in time.
      
      The counters on the other hand signal an increasing amount of slab
      objects to reclaim.  Since "70e60ce7
      
       xfs: convert inode shrinker to
      per-filesystem context" this is not a real issue anymore because the
      shrinker bails out after one iteration.
      
      But the problem was observable on a machine running v2.6.34, where the
      reclaimable work increased and each process going into direct reclaim
      eventually got stuck on the xfs inode shrinking path, trying to scan
      several million objects.
      
      Fix this by properly unwinding the reclaimable-state tracking of an
      inode when it is reclaimed.

      md/raid1: avoid overflow in raid1 resync when bitmap is in use. · 7571ae88
      NeilBrown authored
      bitmap_start_sync returns - via a pass-by-reference variable - the
      number of sectors before we need to check with the bitmap again.
      Since commit ef425673
      
       this number can be substantially larger,
      2^27 is a common value.
      
      Unfortunately it is an 'int' and so when raid1.c:sync_request shifts
      it 9 places to the left it becomes 0.  This results in a zero-length
      read which the scsi layer justifiably complains about.
      
      This patch just removes the shift so the common case becomes safe with
      a trivially-correct patch.
      
      In the next merge window we will convert this 'int' to a 'sector_t'
