234e340582 simple_open: automatically convert to simple_open()
Many users of debugfs copy the implementation of default_open() when
they want to support a custom read/write function op.  This leads to a
proliferation of the default_open() implementation across the entire
tree.

Now that the common implementation has been consolidated into libfs we
can replace all the users of this function with simple_open().

This replacement was done with the following semantic patch:

<smpl>
@ open @
identifier open_f != simple_open;
identifier i, f;
@@
-int open_f(struct inode *i, struct file *f)
-{
(
-if (i->i_private)
-f->private_data = i->i_private;
|
-f->private_data = i->i_private;
)
-return 0;
-}

@ has_open depends on open @
identifier fops;
identifier open.open_f;
@@
struct file_operations fops = {
...
-.open = open_f,
+.open = simple_open,
...
};
</smpl>

20955e891d libfs: add simple_open()
debugfs and a few other drivers use an open-coded version of
simple_open() to pass a pointer from the file to the read/write file
ops.  Add support for this simple case to libfs so that we can remove
the many duplicate copies of this simple function.

7563ec4c21 hugetlbfs: remove unregister_filesystem() when initializing module
It was introduced by d1d5e05ffd ("hugetlbfs: return error code when
initializing module") but as Al pointed out, is a bad idea.

Quoted comments from Al:
 "Note that unregister_filesystem() in module init is *always* wrong;
  it's not an issue here (it's done too early to care about and
  realistically the box is not going anywhere - it'll panic when attempt
  to exec /sbin/init fails, if not earlier), but it's a damn bad
  example.

  Consider a normal fs module.  Somebody loads it and in parallel with
  that we get a mount attempt on that fs type.  It comes between
  register and failure exits that causes unregister; at that point we
  are screwed since grabbing a reference to module as done by mount is
  enough to prevent exit, but not to prevent the failure of init.  As
  the result, module will get freed when init fails, mounted fs of that
  type be damned."

So remove it.

0d08d7b7e1 fs/xattr.c:listxattr(): fall back to vmalloc() if kmalloc() failed
This allocation can be as large as 64k.  As David points out, "falling
back to vmalloc here is much better solution than failing to retreive
the attribute - it will work no matter how fragmented memory gets.  That
means we don't get incomplete backups occurring after days or months of
uptime and successful backups".

b82c32872d sysrq: use SEND_SIG_FORCED instead of force_sig()
Change send_sig_all() to use do_send_sig_info(SEND_SIG_FORCED) instead
of force_sig(SIGKILL).  With the recent changes we do not need force_ to
kill the CLONE_NEWPID tasks.

And this is more correct.  force_sig() can race with the exiting thread,
while do_send_sig_info(group => true) kill the whole process.

Some more notes from Oleg Nesterov:

> Just one note. This change makes no difference for sysrq_handle_kill().
> But it obviously changes the behaviour sysrq_handle_term(). I think
> this is fine, if you want to really kill the task which blocks/ignores
> SIGTERM you can use sysrq_handle_kill().
>
> Even ignoring the reasons why force_sig() is simply wrong here,
> force_sig(SIGTERM) looks strange. The task won't be killed if it has
> a handler, but SIG_IGN can't help. However if it has the handler
> but blocks SIGTERM temporary (this is very common) it will be killed.

Also,

> force_sig() can't kill the process if the main thread has already
> exited. IOW, it is trivial to create the process which can't be
> killed by sysrq.

So, this patch fixes the issue.

99663be772 proc: fix mount -t proc -o AAA
The proc_parse_options() call from proc_mount() runs only once at boot
time.  So on any later mount attempt, any mount options are ignored
because ->s_root is already initialized.

As a consequence, "mount -o <options>" will ignore the options.  The
only way to change mount options is "mount -o remount,<options>".

To fix this, parse the mount options unconditionally.

f0f57b2b14 mm: move hugepage test examples to tools/testing/selftests/vm
hugepage-mmap.c, hugepage-shm.c and map_hugetlb.c in Documentation/vm are
simple pass/fail tests, It's better to promote them to
tools/testing/selftests.

Thanks suggestion of Andrew Morton about this.  They all need firstly
setting up proper nr_hugepages and hugepage-mmap need to mount hugetlbfs.
So I add a shell script run_vmtests to do such work which will call the
three test programs and check the return value of them.

Changes to original code including below:
a. add run_vmtests script
b. return error when read_bytes mismatch with writed bytes.
c. coding style fixes: do not use assignment in if condition

c6dd897f3b mm: move page-types.c from Documentation to tools/vm
tools/ is the better place for vm tools which are used by many people.
Moving them to tools also make them open to more users instead of hide in

This patch moves page-types.c to tools/vm/page-types.c.  Also add a
Makefile in tools/vm and fix two coding style problems: a) change const
arrary to 'const char * const', b) change a space to tab for indent.

f467f71403 selftests: launch individual selftests from the main Makefile
Remove the run_tests script and launch the selftests by calling "make
run_tests" from the selftests top directory instead.  This delegates to
the Makefile in each selftest directory, where it is decided how to launch
the local test.

This removes the need to add each selftest directory to the now removed
"run_tests" top script.

0fc9d10403 radix-tree: use iterators in find_get_pages* functions
Replace radix_tree_gang_lookup_slot() and
radix_tree_gang_lookup_tag_slot() in page-cache lookup functions with
brand-new radix-tree direct iterating.  This avoids the double-scanning
and pointer copying.

Iterator don't stop after nr_pages page-get fails in a row, it continue
lookup till the radix-tree end.  Thus we can safely remove these restart
conditions.

Unfortunately, old implementation didn't forbid nr_pages == 0, this corner
case does not fit into new code, so the patch adds an extra check at the
beginning.

* AMD Athlon 6000+ 2x1Mb L2, without L3
New code generally faster,
Minor degradation (marked with "*") for huge sparse trees

* i386 on Sandy Bridge
New code faster for common cases: tagged and dense trees.
Some degradations for non-tagged lookup on sparse trees.

Ideally, there might help __ffs() analog for searching first non-zero

This patch:

Implement a clean, simple and effective radix-tree iteration routine.

Iterating divided into two phases:
* lookup next chunk in radix-tree leaf node
* iterating through slots in this chunk

Main iterator function radix_tree_next_chunk() returns pointer to first
slot, and stores in the struct radix_tree_iter index of next-to-last slot.
 For tagged-iterating it also constuct bitmask of tags for retunted chunk.
 All additional logic implemented as static-inline functions and macroses.

Also adds radix_tree_find_next_bit() static-inline variant of
find_next_bit() optimized for small constant size arrays, because
find_next_bit() too heavy for searching in an array with one/two long
elements.

cf3f89214e pidns: add reboot_pid_ns() to handle the reboot syscall
In the case of a child pid namespace, rebooting the system does not really
makes sense.  When the pid namespace is used in conjunction with the other
namespaces in order to create a linux container, the reboot syscall leads
to some problems.

A container can reboot the host.  That can be fixed by dropping the
sys_reboot capability but we are unable to correctly to poweroff/
halt/reboot a container and the container stays stuck at the shutdown time
with the container's init process waiting indefinitively.

After several attempts, no solution from userspace was found to reliabily
handle the shutdown from a container.

This patch propose to make the init process of the child pid namespace to
exit with a signal status set to : SIGINT if the child pid namespace
called "halt/poweroff" and SIGHUP if the child pid namespace called
"reboot".  When the reboot syscall is called and we are not in the initial
pid namespace, we kill the pid namespace for "HALT", "POWEROFF",
"RESTART", and "RESTART2".  Otherwise we return EINVAL.

Returning EINVAL is also an easy way to check if this feature is supported
by the kernel when invoking another 'reboot' option like CAD.

By this way the parent process of the child pid namespace knows if it
rebooted or not and can take the right decision.

Test case:

5a04cca6c3 sysctl: use bitmap library functions
Use bitmap_set() instead of using set_bit() for each bit.  This conversion
is valid because the bitmap is private in the function call and atomic
bitops were unnecessary.

This also includes minor change.
- Use bitmap_copy() for shorter typing

423a5bb49e ipmi: use locks on watchdog timeout set on reboot
The IPMI watchdog timer clears or extends the timer on reboot/shutdown.
It was using the non-locking routine for setting the watchdog timer, but
this was causing race conditions.  Instead, use the locking version to
avoid the races.  It seems to work fine.

828dc9da50 ipmi: increase KCS timeouts
We currently time out and retry KCS transactions after 1 second of waiting
for IBF or OBF.  This appears to be too short for some hardware.  The IPMI
spec says "All system software wait loops should include error timeouts.
For simplicity, such timeouts are not shown explicitly in the flow
diagrams.  A five-second timeout or greater is recommended".  Change the
timeout to five seconds to satisfy the slow hardware.

09c71bfd83 kdump x86: fix total mem size calculation for reservation
crashkernel reservation need know the total memory size.  Current
get_total_mem simply use max_pfn - min_low_pfn.  It is wrong because it
will including memory holes in the middle.

Especially for kvm guest with memory > 0xe0000000, there's below in qemu
code: qemu split memory as below:

    if (ram_size >= 0xe0000000 ) {
        above_4g_mem_size = ram_size - 0xe0000000;
        below_4g_mem_size = 0xe0000000;
    } else {
        below_4g_mem_size = ram_size;
    }

So for 4G mem guest, seabios will insert a 512M usable region beyond of
4G.  Thus in above case max_pfn - min_low_pfn will be more than original
memsize.

Fixing this issue by using memblock_phys_mem_size() to get the total
memsize.

74046494ea mm: only IPI CPUs to drain local pages if they exist
Calculate a cpumask of CPUs with per-cpu pages in any zone and only send
an IPI requesting CPUs to drain these pages to the buddy allocator if they
actually have pages when asked to flush.

This patch saves 85%+ of IPIs asking to drain per-cpu pages in case of
severe memory pressure that leads to OOM since in these cases multiple,
possibly concurrent, allocation requests end up in the direct reclaim code
path so when the per-cpu pages end up reclaimed on first allocation
failure for most of the proceeding allocation attempts until the memory
pressure is off (possibly via the OOM killer) there are no per-cpu pages
on most CPUs (and there can easily be hundreds of them).

This also has the side effect of shortening the average latency of direct
reclaim by 1 or more order of magnitude since waiting for all the CPUs to
ACK the IPI takes a long time.

Tested by running "hackbench 400" on a 8 CPU x86 VM and observing the
difference between the number of direct reclaim attempts that end up in
drain_all_pages() and those were more then 1/2 of the online CPU had any
per-cpu page in them, using the vmstat counters introduced in the next
patch in the series and using proc/interrupts.

In the test sceanrio, this was seen to save around 3600 global
IPIs after trigerring an OOM on a concurrent workload:

$ cat /proc/vmstat | tail -n 2
pcp_global_drain 0
pcp_global_ipi_saved 0

$ cat /proc/interrupts | grep CAL
CAL:          1          2          1          2
          2          2          2          2   Function call interrupts

$ hackbench 400
[OOM messages snipped]

$ cat /proc/vmstat | tail -n 2
pcp_global_drain 3647
pcp_global_ipi_saved 3642

$ cat /proc/interrupts | grep CAL
CAL:          6         13          6          3
          3          3         1 2          7   Function call interrupts

Please note that if the global drain is removed from the direct reclaim
path as a patch from Mel Gorman currently suggests this should be replaced
with an on_each_cpu_cond invocation.

42be35d039 fs: only send IPI to invalidate LRU BH when needed
In several code paths, such as when unmounting a file system (but not
only) we send an IPI to ask each cpu to invalidate its local LRU BHs.

For multi-cores systems that have many cpus that may not have any LRU BH
because they are idle or because they have not performed any file system
accesses since last invalidation (e.g.  CPU crunching on high perfomance
computing nodes that write results to shared memory or only using
filesystems that do not use the bh layer.) This can lead to loss of
performance each time someone switches the KVM (the virtual keyboard and
screen type, not the hypervisor) if it has a USB storage stuck in.

This patch attempts to only send an IPI to cpus that have LRU BH.

a8364d5555 slub: only IPI CPUs that have per cpu obj to flush
flush_all() is called for each kmem_cache_destroy().  So every cache being
destroyed dynamically ends up sending an IPI to each CPU in the system,
regardless if the cache has ever been used there.

For example, if you close the Infinband ipath driver char device file, the
close file ops calls kmem_cache_destroy().  So running some infiniband
config tool on one a single CPU dedicated to system tasks might interrupt
the rest of the 127 CPUs dedicated to some CPU intensive or latency
sensitive task.

I suspect there is a good chance that every line in the output of "git
grep kmem_cache_destroy linux/ | grep '\->'" has a similar scenario.

This patch attempts to rectify this issue by sending an IPI to flush the
per cpu objects back to the free lists only to CPUs that seem to have such
objects.

The check which CPU to IPI is racy but we don't care since asking a CPU
without per cpu objects to flush does no damage and as far as I can tell
the flush_all by itself is racy against allocs on remote CPUs anyway, so
if you required the flush_all to be determinstic, you had to arrange for
locking regardless.

Without this patch the following artificial test case:

$ cd /sys/kernel/slab
$ for DIR in *; do cat $DIR/alloc_calls > /dev/null; done

produces 166 IPIs on an cpuset isolated CPU. With it it produces none.

The code path of memory allocation failure for CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y
config was tested using fault injection framework.

b3a7e98e02 smp: add func to IPI cpus based on parameter func
Add the on_each_cpu_cond() function that wraps on_each_cpu_mask() and
calculates the cpumask of cpus to IPI by calling a function supplied as a
parameter in order to determine whether to IPI each specific cpu.

The function works around allocation failure of cpumask variable in
CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y by itereating over cpus sending an IPI a time
via smp_call_function_single().

The function is useful since it allows to seperate the specific code that
decided in each case whether to IPI a specific cpu for a specific request
from the common boilerplate code of handling creating the mask, handling
failures etc.

3fc498f165 smp: introduce a generic on_each_cpu_mask() function
We have lots of infrastructure in place to partition multi-core systems
such that we have a group of CPUs that are dedicated to specific task:
cgroups, scheduler and interrupt affinity, and cpuisol= boot parameter.
Still, kernel code will at times interrupt all CPUs in the system via IPIs
for various needs.  These IPIs are useful and cannot be avoided
altogether, but in certain cases it is possible to interrupt only specific
CPUs that have useful work to do and not the entire system.

This patch set, inspired by discussions with Peter Zijlstra and Frederic
Weisbecker when testing the nohz task patch set, is a first stab at trying
to explore doing this by locating the places where such global IPI calls
are being made and turning the global IPI into an IPI for a specific group
of CPUs.  The purpose of the patch set is to get feedback if this is the
right way to go for dealing with this issue and indeed, if the issue is
even worth dealing with at all.  Based on the feedback from this patch set
I plan to offer further patches that address similar issue in other code
paths.

This patch creates an on_each_cpu_mask() and on_each_cpu_cond()
infrastructure API (the former derived from existing arch specific
versions in Tile and Arm) and uses them to turn several global IPI
invocation to per CPU group invocations.

Core kernel:

on_each_cpu_mask() calls a function on processors specified by cpumask,
which may or may not include the local processor.

You must not call this function with disabled interrupts or from a
hardware interrupt handler or from a bottom half handler.

arch/arm:

Note that the generic version is a little different then the Arm one:

1. It has the mask as first parameter
2. It calls the function on the calling CPU with interrupts disabled,
   but this should be OK since the function is called on the other CPUs
   with interrupts disabled anyway.

arch/tile:

The API is the same as the tile private one, but the generic version
also calls the function on the with interrupts disabled in UP case

This is OK since the function is called on the other CPUs
with interrupts disabled.

d15cab9754 swapon: check validity of swap_flags
Most system calls taking flags first check that the flags passed in are
valid, and that helps userspace to detect when new flags are supported.

But swapon never did so: start checking now, to help if we ever want to
support more swap_flags in future.

It's difficult to get stray bits set in an int, and swapon is not widely
used, so this is most unlikely to break any userspace; but we can just
revert if it turns out to do so.

29fd66d289 mm, coredump: fail allocations when coredumping instead of oom killing
The size of coredump files is limited by RLIMIT_CORE, however, allocating
large amounts of memory results in three negative consequences:

 - the coredumping process may be chosen for oom kill and quickly deplete
   all memory reserves in oom conditions preventing further progress from
   being made or tasks from exiting,

 - the coredumping process may cause other processes to be oom killed
   without fault of their own as the result of a SIGSEGV, for example, in
   the coredumping process, or

 - the coredumping process may result in a livelock while writing to the
   dump file if it needs memory to allocate while other threads are in
   the exit path waiting on the coredumper to complete.

This is fixed by implying __GFP_NORETRY in the page allocator for
coredumping processes when reclaim has failed so the allocations fail and
the process continues to exit.

623e3db9f9 mm for fs: add truncate_pagecache_range()
Holepunching filesystems ext4 and xfs are using truncate_inode_pages_range
but forgetting to unmap pages first (ocfs2 remembers).  This is not really
a bug, since races already require truncate_inode_page() to handle that
case once the page is locked; but it can be very inefficient if the file
being punched happens to be mapped into many vmas.

Provide a drop-in replacement truncate_pagecache_range() which does the
unmapping pass first, handling the awkward mismatch between arguments to
truncate_inode_pages_range() and arguments to unmap_mapping_range().

Note that holepunching does not unmap privately COWed pages in the range:
POSIX requires that we do so when truncating, but it's hard to justify,
difficult to implement without an i_size cutoff, and no filesystem is
attempting to implement it.

69e1aaddd6 Ext4 commits for 3.3 merge window; mostly cleanups and bug fixes
The changes to export dirty_writeback_interval are from Artem's s_dirt
 cleanup patch series.  The same is true of the change to remove the
 s_dirt helper functions which never got used by anyone in-tree.  I've
 run these changes by Al Viro, and am carrying them so that Artem can
 more easily fix up the rest of the file systems during the next merge
 window.  (Originally we had hopped to remove the use of s_dirt from
 ext4 during this merge window, but his patches had some bugs, so I
 ultimately ended dropping them from the ext4 tree.)

Pull Ceph updates for 3.4-rc1 from Sage Weil:
 "Alex has been busy.  There are a range of rbd and libceph cleanups,
  especially surrounding device setup and teardown, and a few critical
  fixes in that code.  There are more cleanups in the messenger code,
  virtual xattrs, a fix for CRC calculation/checks, and lots of other
  miscellaneous stuff.

  There's a patch from Amon Ott to make inos behave a bit better on
  32-bit boxes, some decode check fixes from Xi Wang, and network
  throttling fix from Jim Schutt, and a couple RBD fixes from Josh
  Durgin.

  No new functionality, just a lot of cleanup and bug fixing."
