When we look into pagemap using page-types with option -p, the value of
pfn for hugepages looks wrong (see below.) This is because pte was
evaluated only once for one vma although it should be updated for each
hugepage. This patch fixes it.$ page-types -p 3277 -Nl -b huge
voffset offset len flags

^^^One hugepage contains 1 head page and 511 tail pages in x86_64 and each
two lines represent each hugepage. Voffset and offset mean virtual
address and physical address in the page unit, respectively. The
different hugepages should not have the same offset value.With this patch applied:

- This patch modifies walk_page_range()'s hugepage walker. But the
change only affects pagemap_read(), which is the only caller of hugepage
callback.- Without this patch, hugetlb_entry() callback is called per vma, that
doesn't match the natural expectation from its name.- With this patch, hugetlb_entry() is called per hugepte entry and the
callback can become much simpler.Signed-off-by: Naoya Horiguchi

In initial design, walk_page_range() was designed just for walking page
table and it didn't require mmap_sem. Now, find_vma() etc.. are used
in walk_page_range() and we need mmap_sem around it.This patch adds mmap_sem around walk_page_range().
Because /proc//pagemap's callback routine use put_user(), we have
to get rid of it to do sane fix.Changelog: 2010/Apr/2
- fixed start_vaddr and end overflow
Changelog: 2010/Apr/1
- fixed start_vaddr calculation
- removed unnecessary cast.

proc_oom_score(task) has a reference to task_struct, but that is all.
If this task was already released before we take tasklist_lock- we can't use task->group_leader, it points to nowhere
- it is not safe to call badness() even if this task is
->group_leader, has_intersects_mems_allowed() assumes
it is safe to iterate over ->thread_group list.- even worse, badness() can hit ->signal == NULL
Add the pid_alive() check to ensure __unhash_process() was not called.
Also, use "task" instead of task->group_leader. badness() should return
the same result for any sub-thread. Currently this is not true, but
this should be changed anyway.Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov

…it slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

We end up trying to kfree() nd.last.name on open("/mnt/tmp", O_CREAT)
if /mnt/tmp is an autofs direct mount. The reason is that nd.last_type
is bogus here; we want LAST_BIND for everything of that kind and we
get LAST_NORM left over from finding parent directory.So make sure that it *is* set properly; set to LAST_BIND before
doing ->follow_link() - for normal symlinks it will be changed
by __vfs_follow_link() and everything else needs it set that way.Signed-off-by: Al Viro

Setting a thread's comm to be something unique is a very useful ability
and is helpful for debugging complicated threaded applications. However
currently the only way to set a thread name is for the thread to name
itself via the PR_SET_NAME prctl.However, there may be situations where it would be advantageous for a
thread dispatcher to be naming the threads its managing, rather then
having the threads self-describe themselves. This sort of behavior is
available on other systems via the pthread_setname_np() interface.This patch exports a task's comm via proc/pid/comm and
proc/pid/task/tid/comm interfaces, and allows thread siblings to write to
these values.[akpm@linux-foundation.org: cleanups]

This patch enables extraction of the pfn of a hugepage from
/proc/pid/pagemap in an architecture independent manner.Details
-------
My test program (leak_pagemap) works as follows:
- creat() and mmap() a file on hugetlbfs (file size is 200MB == 100 hugepages,)
- read()/write() something on it,
- call page-types with option -p,
- munmap() and unlink() the file on hugetlbfsWithout my patches
------------------
$ ./leak_pagemap
flags page-count MB symbolic-flags long-symbolic-flags

total 101 0The output of page-types don't show any hugepage.

containing 100 head pages and 51100 tail pages as expected.[akpm@linux-foundation.org: build fix]
