Tejun reported stuttering and latency spikes on a system where random tasks would enter direct reclaim and get stuck on dirty pages. Around 50% of memory was occupied by tmpfs backed by an SSD, and another disk (rotating) was reading and writing at max speed to shrink a partition. : The problem was pretty ridiculous. It's a 8gig machine w/ one ssd and 10k : rpm harddrive and I could reliably reproduce constant stuttering every : several seconds for as long as buffered IO was going on on the hard drive : either with tmpfs occupying somewhere above 4gig or a test program which : allocates about the same amount of anon memory. Although swap usage was : zero, turning off swap also made the problem go away too. : : The trigger conditions seem quite plausible - high anon memory usage w/ : heavy buffered IO and swap configured - and it's highly likely that this : is happening in the wild too. (this can happen with copying large files : to usb sticks too, right?) This patch (of 2): The dirty_balance_reserve is an approximation of the fraction of free pages that the page allocator does not make available for page cache allocations. As a result, it has to be taken into account when calculating the amount of "dirtyable memory", the baseline to which dirty_background_ratio and dirty_ratio are applied. However, currently the reserve is subtracted from the sum of free and reclaimable pages, which is non-sensical and leads to erroneous results when the system is dominated by unreclaimable pages and the dirty_balance_reserve is bigger than free+reclaimable. In that case, at least the already allocated cache should be considered dirtyable. Fix the calculation by subtracting the reserve from the amount of free pages, then adding the reclaimable pages on top. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix CONFIG_HIGHMEM build] Signed-off-by:

Prior to commit fe35004f ("mm: avoid swapping out with swappiness==0") setting swappiness to 0, reclaim code could still evict recently used user anonymous memory to swap even though there is a significant amount of RAM used for page cache. The behaviour of setting swappiness to 0 has since changed. When set, the reclaim code does not initiate swap until the amount of free pages and file-backed pages, is less than the high water mark in a zone. Let's update the documentation to reflect this.

The previous ceph-client merge resulted in ceph not even building, because there was a merge conflict that wasn't visible as an actual data conflict: commit 7221fe4c ("ceph: add acl for cephfs") added support for POSIX ACL's into Ceph, but unluckily we also had the VFS tree change a lot of the POSIX ACL helper functions to be much more helpful to filesystems (see for example commits 2aeccbe9 "fs: add generic xattr_acl handlers", 5bf3258f "fs: make posix_acl_chmod more useful" and 37bc1539 "fs: make posix_acl_create more useful") The reason this conflict wasn't obvious was many-fold: because it was a semantic conflict rather than a data conflict, it wasn't visible in the git merge as a conflict. And because the VFS tree hadn't been in linux-next, people hadn't become aware of it that way. And because I was at jury duty this morning, I was using my laptop and as a result not doing constant "allmodconfig" builds. Anyway, this fixes the build and generally removes a fair chunk of the Ceph POSIX ACL support code, since the improved helpers seem to match really well for Ceph too. But I don't actually have any way to *test* the end result, and I was really hoping for some ACK's for this. Oh, well. Not compiling certainly doesn't make things easier to test, so I'm committing this without the acks after having waited for four hours... Plus it's what I would have done for the merge had I noticed the semantic conflict.. Reported-by:

The buffer pointer passed from the upper layer may points to a buffer in the stack or a buffer allocated by vmalloc, and etc.. This patch adds more sanity check to this buffer. After this patch, if we meet a buffer which is allocated by vmalloc or a buffer in the stack, we will use our own DMA buffer @data_buffer_dma to do the DMA operations. If the buffer is not the cases above, we will map it for DMA operations directly. Signed-off-by:

The @data_buffer_dma buffer is used for non ECC read/write. Currently, the length of the buffer is PAGE_SIZE, but the NAND chip may has 8K page or 16K page. So we have to extend it for the large page NAND chips. The gpmi_alloc_dma_buffer will be called twice. The first time is to allocate a temporary buffer for scanning the NAND chip; The second time is to allocate a buffer to store the real page content. This patch allocates a buffer of PAGE_SIZE size for scanning the NAND chip when gpmi_alloc_dma_buffer is called the first time, and allocates a buffer of the real NAND page size for the second time gpmi_alloc_dma_buffer is called.

Pull powerpc mremap fix from Ben Herrenschmidt: "This is the patch that I had sent after -rc8 and which we decided to wait before merging.

It's identical to the request I did 2 or 3 weeks back. This fixes crashes in mremap with THP on powerpc. The fix however requires a small change in the generic code. It moves a condition into a helper we can override from the arch which is harmless, but it *also* slightly changes the order of the set_pmd and the withdraw & deposit, which should be fine according to Kirill (who wrote that code) but I agree -rc8 is a bit late...

The GOOGLE_SMI Kconfig symbol depends on DMI and selects EFI. This causes problems on other archs when introducing DMI support that depends on EFI, as it results in a recursive dependency: arch/arm/Kconfig:1845:error: recursive dependency detected! arch/arm/Kconfig:1845: symbol DMI depends on EFI Fix by changing the 'select EFI' to a 'depends on EFI'.

Commit 91c2e0bc ("unify compat fanotify_mark(2), switch to COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE") added a new unified compat fanotify_mark syscall to be used by all architectures. Unfortunately the unified version merges the split mask parameter in a wrong way: the lower and higher word got swapped. This was discovered with glibc's tst-fanotify test case. Signed-off-by:

Functions like this one are evil: void foo() { ... } Because these functions allow variadic arguments without checking the arguments at all. Original patch by Richard Weinberger. Signed-off-by:

@splice_desc.total_len is 32 bit(unsigned int) which is used to store the size passed from userspace which is 64 bit(size_t) so that the size is unexpectedly truncated That means vmsplice can not work if the size passed from userspace is >= 4G, for example, we noticed in vmsplice, splice-reader does not do anything and splice-writer is waiting for available buffer forever if the size is 4G Fix it by extending @splice_desc.total_len to 64 bits as well Signed-off-by:

Compat function takes msgtyp argument as u32 and passes it down to do_msgrcv which results in casting to long, thus the sign is lost and we get a big positive number instead. Cast the argument to signed type before passing it down. Signed-off-by:

Both expunge_all() and pipeline_send() rely on both a nil msg value and a full barrier to guarantee the correct ordering when waking up a task. While its counterpart at the receiving end is well documented for the lockless recv algorithm, we still need to document these specific smp_mb() calls.

This field is only used to reset the ids seq number if it exceeds the smaller of INT_MAX/SEQ_MULTIPLIER and USHRT_MAX, and can therefore be moved out of the structure and into its own macro.
