swap: add a simple detector for inappropriate swapin readahead
This is a patch to improve swap readahead algorithm. It's from Hugh and I
slightly changed it.
Hugh's original changelog:
swapin readahead does a blind readahead, whether or not the swapin
is sequential. This may be ok on harddisk, because large reads have
relatively small costs, and if the readahead pages are unneeded they
can be reclaimed easily - though, what if their allocation forced
reclaim of useful pages? But on SSD devices large reads are more
expensive than small ones: if the readahead pages are unneeded,
reading them in caused significant overhead.
This patch adds very simplistic random read detection. Stealing
the PageReadahead technique from Konstantin Khlebnikov's patch,
avoiding the vma/anon_vma sophistications of Shaohua Li's patch,
swapin_nr_pages() simply looks at readahead's current success
rate, and narrows or widens its readahead window accordingly.
There is little science to its heuristic: it's about as stupid
as can be whilst remaining effective.
The table below shows elapsed times (in centiseconds) when running
a single repetitive swapping load across a 1000MB mapping in 900MB
ram with 1GB swap (the harddisk tests had taken painfully too long
when I used mem=500M, but SSD shows similar results for that).
Vanilla is the 3.6-rc7 kernel on which I started; Shaohua denotes
his Sep 3 patch in mmotm and linux-next; HughOld denotes my Oct 1
patch which Shaohua showed to be defective; HughNew this Nov 14
patch, with page_cluster as usual at default of 3 (8-page reads);
HughPC4 this same patch with page_cluster 4 (16-page reads);
HughPC0 with page_cluster 0 (1-page reads: no readahead).
HDD for swapping to harddisk, SSD for swapping to VertexII SSD.
Seq for sequential access to the mapping, cycling five times around;
Rand for the same number of random touches. Anon for a MAP_PRIVATE
anon mapping; Shmem for a MAP_SHARED anon mapping, equivalent to tmpfs.
One weakness of Shaohua's vma/anon_vma approach was that it did
not optimize Shmem: seen below. Konstantin's approach was perhaps
mistuned, 50% slower on Seq: did not compete and is not shown below.
These tests are, of course, two extremes of a very simple case:
under heavier mixed loads I've not yet observed any consistent
improvement or degradation, and wider testing would be welcome.
Shaohua Li:
Test shows Vanilla is slightly better in sequential workload than Hugh's patch.
I observed with Hugh's patch sometimes the readahead size is shrinked too fast
(from 8 to 1 immediately) in sequential workload if there is no hit. And in
such case, continuing doing readahead is good actually.
I don't prepare a sophisticated algorithm for the sequential workload because
so far we can't guarantee sequential accessed pages are swap out sequentially.
So I slightly change Hugh's heuristic - don't shrink readahead size too fast.
Here is my test result (unit second, 3 runs average):
Vanilla Hugh New
Seq 356 370 360
Random 4525 2447 2444
Attached graph is the swapin/swapout throughput I collected with 'vmstat 2'.
The first part is running a random workload (till around 1200 of the x-axis)
and the second part is running a sequential workload. swapin and swapout
throughput are almost identical in steady state in both workloads. These are
expected behavior. while in Vanilla, swapin is much bigger than swapout
especially in random workload (because wrong readahead).

mm: vmstats: tlb flush counters
I was investigating some TLB flush scaling issues and realized that we do
not have any good methods for figuring out how many TLB flushes we are
doing.
It would be nice to be able to do these in generic code, but the
arch-independent calls don't explicitly specify whether we actually need
to do remote flushes or not. In the end, we really need to know if we
actually _did_ global vs. local invalidations, so that leaves us with few
options other than to muck with the counters from arch-specific code.

mm: mmap_region: kill correct_wcount/inode, use allow_write_access()
correct_wcount and inode in mmap_region() just complicate the code. This
boolean was needed previously, when deny_write_access() was called before
vma_merge(), now we can simply check VM_DENYWRITE and do
allow_write_access() if it is set.
allow_write_access() checks file != NULL, so this is safe even if it was
possible to use VM_DENYWRITE && !file. Just we need to ensure we use the
same file which was deny_write_access()'ed, so the patch also moves "file
= vma->vm_file" down after allow_write_access().

mm: shift VM_GROWS* check from mmap_region() to do_mmap_pgoff()
mmap() doesn't allow the non-anonymous mappings with VM_GROWS* bit set.
In particular this means that mmap_region()->vma_merge(file, vm_flags)
must always fail if vm_flags & VM_GROWS. So it does not make sense to
check VM_GROWS* after we already allocated the new vma, the only caller,
do_mmap_pgoff(), which can pass this flag can do the check itself.
And this looks a bit more correct, mmap_region() already unmapped the old
mapping at this stage. But if mmap() is going to fail, it should avoid
do_munmap() if possible.

watchdog: trigger all-cpu backtrace when locked up and going to panic
Send an NMI to all CPUs when a lockup is detected and the lockup watchdog
code is configured to panic. This gives us a fairly uptodate snapshot of
all CPUs in the system.
This lets us get stack trace of all CPUs which makes life easier trying to
debug a deadlock, and the NMI doesn't change anything since the next step
is a kernel panic.
block: restore /proc/partitions to not display non-partitionable removable devices
We found with newer kernels we started seeing the cdrom device showing
up in /proc/partitions, but it was not there before.
Looking into this I found that commit d27769ec ("block: add
GENHD_FL_NO_PART_SCAN") introduces this change in behavior. It's not
clear to me from the commit's changelog if this change was intentional or
not. This comment still remains: /* Don't show non-partitionable

restore the behavior of not printing unpartitionable removable devices.

lglock: update lockdep annotations to report recursive local locks
Oleg Nesterov recently noticed that the lockdep annotations in lglock.c
are not sufficient to detect some obvious deadlocks, such as
lg_local_lock(LOCK) + lg_local_lock(LOCK) or spin_lock(X) +
lg_local_lock(Y) vs lg_local_lock(Y) + spin_lock(X).
Both issues are easily fixed by indicating to lockdep that lglock's local
locks are not recursive. We shouldn't use the rwlock acquire/release
functions here, as lglock doesn't share the same semantics. Instead we
can base our lockdep annotations on the lock_acquire_shared (for local
lglock) and lock_acquire_exclusive (for global lglock) helpers.
I am not proposing new lglock specific helpers as I don't see the point of
the existing second level of helpers :)

In lockdep.h, the spinlock/mutex/rwsem/rwlock/lock_map acquire macros have
different definitions based on the value of CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING. We have
separate ifdefs for each of these definitions, which seems redundant.
Introduce lock_acquire_{exclusive,shared,shared_recursive} helpers which
will have different definitions based on CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING. Then all
other helper macros can be defined based on the above ones, which reduces
the amount of ifdefined code.

This is triggered with our v3.4-based custom ARM kernel, but we confirmed
that v3.10-rc can still have the same problem.
I found a similar issue fixed in v3.9 by Prarit Bhargava in commit 8f294b5a13 ("hrtimer: Add expiry time overflow check in

detected around 1970 + 100 seconds.
On the other hand, we have another call site of tick_program_event() at

there, so we need to apply the same fix to it.

cyber2000fb: avoid palette corruption at higher clocks
When 1280x1024@75Hz mode is set, console palette is not set properly -
sometimes the background is white, sometimes yellow and text colors are
also messed up. This does not happen at 1280x1024@60Hz and below.
It seems that the HW needs some time before setting the palette - maybe
the PLL needs more time to lock at higher speeds. This patch fixes the
problem but without knowing what register to check for PLL lock(?), the
delay might be excessive.

The problem is that the loop had an error exit that would skip the

In the error exit part of the function, it also did a get_online_cpus(),
run a loop and then put_online_cpus(). The only way to get to the error
exit part is with get_online_cpus() already performed. If this error
condition is hit, the system will be prevented from taking CPUs offline.

thp, mm: avoid PageUnevictable on active/inactive lru lists
active/inactive lru lists can contain unevicable pages (i.e. ramfs pages
that have been placed on the LRU lists when first allocated), but these
pages must not have PageUnevictable set - otherwise shrink_[in]active_list
goes crazy:
kernel BUG at /home/space/kas/git/public/linux-next/mm/vmscan.c:1122!
__isolate_lru_page() returns EINVAL for PageUnevictable(page).
For lru_add_page_tail(), it means we should not set PageUnevictable() for
tail pages unless we're sure that it will go to LRU_UNEVICTABLE. Let's
just copy PG_active and PG_unevictable from head page in
__split_huge_page_refcount(), it will simplify lru_add_page_tail().
This will fix one more bug in lru_add_page_tail(): if
page_evictable(page_tail) is false and PageLRU(page) is true, page_tail
will go to the same lru as page, but nobody cares to sync page_tail
active/inactive state with page. So we can end up with inactive page on
active lru. The patch will fix it as well since we copy PG_active from
head page.

"Here are some driver core patches for 3.11-rc2. They aren't really

Also here is the ability to create binary files as attribute groups,
to solve that race condition, which was impossible to do before this,
so that's my fault the drivers were broken.
The majority of the .c changes is indenting and moving code around a
bit. It affects no existing code, but allows the large backlog of 70+
patches that I already have created to start flowing into the
different subtrees, instead of having to live in my driver-core tree,
causing merge nightmares in linux-next for the next few months.

We've got bug reports that the module loading stuck on Debian system
with 3.10 kernel. The debugging session revealed that the initial
registration of OSS sequencer clients stuck at module loading time,
which involves again with request_module() at the init phase. This is
triggered only by special --install stuff Debian is using, but it's
still not good to have such loops.
As a workaround, call the registration part asynchronously. This is a
better approach irrespective of the hang fix, in anyway.

linked-list: Remove __list_for_each
__list_for_each used to be the non prefetch() aware list walking
primitive. When we removed the prefetch macros from the list routines,
it became redundant. Given it does exactly the same thing as
list_for_each now, we might as well remove it and call list_for_each
directly.
All users of __list_for_each have been converted to list_for_each calls
in the current merge window.

We should be using groups, not attribute lists, for classes to allow
subdirectories, and soon, binary files. Groups are just more flexible
overall, so add them.
The dev_attrs list will go away after all in-kernel users are converted
to use dev_groups.
device_create_groups lets callers create devices as well as associated
sysfs attributes with a single call. This avoids race conditions seen
if sysfs attributes on new devices are created later.
[fixed up comment block placement and add checks for printk buffer
formats - gregkh]
sysfs: add support for binary attributes in groups
groups should be able to support binary attributes, just like it
supports "normal" attributes. This lets us only handle one type of
structure, groups, throughout the driver core and subsystems, making
binary attributes a "full fledged" part of the driver model, and not
something just "tacked on".
To make it easier for driver subsystems to work with attribute groups,
create the ATTRIBUTE_GROUPS macro to remove some of the repetitive
typing for the most common use for attribute groups.

Pull spi fixes from Mark Brown:
"A couple of things missed during the v3.11 work here:
- The spi-bitbang core requires a setup() function even if it does
nothing which caused breakage when some empty setup functions were
removed after their contents were factored out into the core.
While this is clearly silly and will be fixed for v3.12 for now we
just restore the functions.
- A missing case handled in the s3c64xx driver"
