      mm: make set_mempolicy(MPOL_INTERLEAV) N_HIGH_MEMORY aware · 4bfc4495
      KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki authored 
      

At first, init_task's mems_allowed is initialized as this.
 init_task->mems_allowed == node_state[N_POSSIBLE]

And cpuset's top_cpuset mask is initialized as this
 top_cpuset->mems_allowed = node_state[N_HIGH_MEMORY]

Before 2.6.29:
policy's mems_allowed is initialized as this.

  1. update tasks->mems_allowed by its cpuset->mems_allowed.
  2. policy->mems_allowed = nodes_and(tasks->mems_allowed, user's mask)

Updating task's mems_allowed in reference to top_cpuset's one.
cpuset's mems_allowed is aware of N_HIGH_MEMORY, always.

In 2.6.30: After commit 58568d2a
("cpuset,mm: update tasks' mems_allowed in time"), policy's mems_allowed
is initialized as this.

  1. policy->mems_allowd = nodes_and(task->mems_allowed, user's mask)

Here, if task is in top_cpuset, task->mems_allowed is not updated from
init's one.  Assume user excutes command as #numactrl --interleave=all
,....

  policy->mems_allowd = nodes_and(N_POSSIBLE, ALL_SET_MASK)

Then, policy's mems_allowd can includes a possible node, which has no pgdat.

MPOL's INTERLEAVE just scans nodemask of task->mems_allowd and access this
directly.

  NODE_DATA(nid)->zonelist even if NODE_DATA(nid)==NULL

Then, what's we need is making policy->mems_allowed be aware of
N_HIGH_MEMORY.  This patch does that.  But to do so, extra nodemask will
be on statck.  Because I know cpumask has a new interface of
CPUMASK_ALLOC(), I added it to node.

This patch stands on old behavior.  But I feel this fix itself is just a
Band-Aid.  But to do fundametal fix, we have to take care of memory
hotplug and it takes time.  (task->mems_allowd should be N_HIGH_MEMORY, I
think.)

mpol_set_nodemask() should be aware of N_HIGH_MEMORY and policy's nodemask
should be includes only online nodes.

In old behavior, this is guaranteed by frequent reference to cpuset's
code.  Now, most of them are removed and mempolicy has to check it by
itself.

To do check, a few nodemask_t will be used for calculating nodemask.  But,
size of nodemask_t can be big and it's not good to allocate them on stack.

Now, cpumask_t has CPUMASK_ALLOC/FREE an easy code for get scratch area.
NODEMASK_ALLOC/FREE shoudl be there.

      fbcon: fix rotate upside down crash · 93274e4d
      Stefani Seibold authored 
      

Fix the rotate_ud() function not to crash in case of a font which has not
a width of multiple by 8: The inner loop of the font pixel copy should not
access a bit outside the font memory area.  Subtract the shift offset from
the font width will prevent this.

      generic-ipi: fix hotplug_cfd() · 69dd647f
      Xiao Guangrong authored 
      

Use CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU, not CONFIG_CPU_HOTPLUG

When hot-unpluging a cpu, it will leak memory allocated at cpu hotplug,
but only if CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y, which is default to n.

The bug was introduced by 8969a5ed
("generic-ipi: remove kmalloc()").

      x86: Work around compilation warning in arch/x86/kernel/apm_32.c · dc731fbb
      Subrata Modak authored 
      The following fix was initially inspired by David Howells fix
few days back:

  http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/7/9/109

However, Ingo disapproves such fixes as it's dangerous (it can
hide future, relevant warnings) - in something as
performance-uncritical.

So, initialize 'err' to '0' to work around a GCC false positive
warning:

      x86, UV: Complete IRQ interrupt migration in arch_enable_uv_irq() · 2a5ef416
      Jack Steiner authored 
      

In uv_setup_irq(), the call to create_irq() initially assigns
IRQ vectors to cpu 0. The subsequent call to
assign_irq_vector() in arch_enable_uv_irq() migrates the IRQ to
another cpu and frees the cpu 0 vector - at least it will be
freed as soon as the "IRQ move" completes.

arch_enable_uv_irq() needs to send a cleanup IPI to complete
the IRQ move. Otherwise, assignment of GRU interrupts on large
systems (>200 cpus) will exhaust the cpu 0 interrupt vectors
and initialization of the GRU driver will fail.

      Jan Beulich authored 
      

With VMALLOC_END included in the calculation of MAXMEM (as of
2.6.28) it is no longer correct to also bump __VMALLOC_RESERVE
in reserve_top_address(). Doing so results in needlessly small
lowmem.

One system has socket 1 come up as BSP.

kexeced kernel reports BSP as:

It doesn't have correct physical processor id and will get an

it turns out: we can not use current_cpu_data in phys_pgd_id
for x2apic.

identify_boot_cpu() is called by check_bugs() before
smp_prepare_cpus() and till smp_prepare_cpus() current_cpu_data
for bsp is assigned with boot_cpu_data.

Just make phys_pkg_id for x2apic is aligned to xapic.
