/proc/pid/clear_refs is used to clear the Referenced and YOUNG bits for
pages and corresponding page table entries of the task with PID pid, which
includes any special mappings inserted into the page tables in order to
provide things like vDSOs and user helper functions.
On ARM this causes a problem because the vectors page is mapped as a
global mapping and since ec706dab ("ARM: add a vma entry for the user
accessible vector page"), a VMA is also inserted into each task for this
page to aid unwinding through signals and syscall restarts. Since the
vectors page is required for handling faults, clearing the YOUNG bit (and
subsequently writing a faulting pte) means that we lose the vectors page
*globally* and cannot fault it back in. This results in a system deadlock
on the next exception.
To see this problem in action, just run:
$ echo 1 > /proc/self/clear_refs
on an ARM platform (as any user) and watch your system hang. I think this
has been the case since 2.6.37
This patch avoids clearing the aforementioned bits for reserved pages,
therefore leaving the vectors page intact on ARM. Since reserved pages
are not candidates for swap, this change should not have any impact on the
usefulness of clear_refs.

We are crashing because we are trying to dereference NULL zone which
came from pfn=0 (struct page ffffea0000000000). According to the boot
log this page is marked reserved:
e820 update range: 0000000000000000 - 0000000000010000 (usable) ==> (reserved)
and early_node_map confirms that:
early_node_map[3] active PFN ranges
1: 0x00000010 -> 0x0000009c
1: 0x00000100 -> 0x000bffa3
1: 0x00100000 -> 0x00240000
The problem is that memory_present works in PAGE_SECTION_MASK aligned
blocks so the reserved range sneaks into the the section as well. This
also means that free_area_init_node will not take care of those reserved
pages and they stay uninitialized.
When we try to read the removable status we walk through all available
sections and hope that the zone is valid for all pages in the section.
But this is not true in this case as the zone and nid are not initialized.
We have only one node in this particular case and it is marked as node=1
(rather than 0) and that made the problem visible because page_to_nid will
return 0 and there are no zones on the node.
Let's check that the zone is valid and that the given pfn falls into its
boundaries and mark the section not removable. This might cause some
false positives, probably, but we do not have any sane way to find out
whether the page is reserved by the platform or it is just not used for
whatever other reasons.

There is a case in __sk_mem_schedule(), where an allocation
is beyond the maximum, but yet we are allowed to proceed.
It happens under the following condition:
sk->sk_wmem_queued + size >= sk->sk_sndbuf
The network code won't revert the allocation in this case,
meaning that at some point later it'll try to do it. Since
this is never communicated to the underlying res_counter
code, there is an inbalance in res_counter uncharge operation.
I see two ways of fixing this:
1) storing the information about those allocations somewhere
in memcg, and then deducting from that first, before
we start draining the res_counter,
2) providing a slightly different allocation function for
the res_counter, that matches the original behavior of
the network code more closely.
I decided to go for #2 here, believing it to be more elegant,
since #1 would require us to do basically that, but in a more
obscure way.

Correctly implement a loss detection heuristic: New sequences (above
high_seq) sent during the fast recovery are deemed lost when higher
sequences are SACKed.
Current code does not catch these losses, because tcp_mark_head_lost()
does not check packets beyond high_seq. The fix is straight-forward by
checking packets until the highest sacked packet. In addition, all the
FLAG_DATA_LOST logic are in-effective and redundant and can be removed.
Update the loss heuristic comments. The algorithm above is documented
as heuristic B, but it is redundant too because heuristic A already
covers B.
Note that this change only marks some forward-retransmitted packets LOST.
It does NOT forbid TCP performing further CWR on new losses. A potential
follow-up patch under preparation is to perform another CWR on "new"
losses such as
1) sequence above high_seq is lost (by resetting high_seq to snd_nxt)
2) retransmission is lost.

Base ACPI (CA) currently does not support atomic 64-bit reads and writes

32-bit transfers) yet APEI expects 64-bit transfer capability, even
when running on 32-bit systems.
This patch implements 64-bit read and write routines for APEI usage.
This patch re-factors similar functionality introduced in commit
04c25997c9, bringing it into the ACPI subsystem in preparation for

replicated acpi_os_read_memory() and acpi_os_write_memory(), creating
64-bit versions for APEI to utilize, as opposed to something more
elegant. My thinking is that we should attempt to see if we can get
ACPI's CA/OSL changed so that the existing acpi_read() and acpi_write()
interfaces are natively 64-bit capable and then subsequently remove the
replication.

This patch fixes CUBIC so that cwnd reductions made during RTOs can be
undone (just as they already can be undone when using the default/Reno
behavior).
When undoing cwnd reductions, BIC-derived congestion control modules
were restoring the cwnd from last_max_cwnd. There were two problems
with using last_max_cwnd to restore a cwnd during undo:
(a) last_max_cwnd was set to 0 on state transitions into TCP_CA_Loss
(by calling the module's reset() functions), so cwnd reductions from
RTOs could not be undone.
(b) when fast_covergence is enabled (which it is by default)
last_max_cwnd does not actually hold the value of snd_cwnd before the
loss; instead, it holds a scaled-down version of snd_cwnd.
This patch makes the following changes:
(1) upon undo, revert snd_cwnd to ca->loss_cwnd, which is already, as
the existing comment notes, the "congestion window at last loss"
(2) stop forgetting ca->loss_cwnd on TCP_CA_Loss events
(3) use ca->last_max_cwnd to check if we're in slow start
