Upon module load, we must take the markers mutex. It implies that the marker
mutex must be nested inside the module mutex.It implies changing the nesting order : now the marker mutex nests inside the

I found a few bugs in the BFS driver. Detailed description of the bugs as
well as the steps to reproduce the errors are given in the kernel bugzilla.

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9366This patch fixes the bugs described above. Besides, the patch introduces
coding style changes to make the BFS driver conform to the requirements
specified for Linux kernel code. Finally, I made a few cosmetic changes
such as removal of trivial debug output.Also, the patch removes the fields `si_lf_ioff' and `si_lf_sblk' of the
in-core superblock structure. These fields are initialized but never
actually used.If you are wondering why I need BFS, here is the answer: I am using this
driver in the context of Linux kernel classes I am teaching in the Moscow
State University and in the International Institute of Information
Technology in Pune, India.Signed-off-by: Dmitri Vorobiev

Revert 62d0df64065e7c135d0002f069444fbdfc64768f.
This was originally intended as a simple initial example of how to create a
control groups subsystem; it wasn't intended for mainline, but I didn't make
this clear enough to Andrew.The CFS cgroup subsystem now has better functionality for the per-cgroup usage
accounting (based directly on CFS stats) than the "usage" status file in this
patch, and the "load" status file is rather simplistic - although having a
per-cgroup load average report would be a useful feature, I don't believe this
patch actually provides it. If it gets into the final 2.6.24 we'd probably
have to support this interface for ever.Cc: Paul Menage

When a MAP_SHARED mmap of a hugetlbfs file succeeds, huge pages are reserved
to guarantee no problems will occur later when instantiating pages. If quotas
are in force, page instantiation could fail due to a race with another process
or an oversized (but approved) shared mapping.To prevent these scenarios, debit the quota for the full reservation amount up
front and credit the unused quota when the reservation is released.Signed-off-by: Adam Litke

Now that quota is credited by free_huge_page(), calls to hugetlb_get_quota()
seem out of place. The alloc/free API is unbalanced because we handle the
hugetlb_put_quota() but expect the caller to open-code hugetlb_get_quota().
Move the get inside alloc_huge_page to clean up this disparity.This patch has been kept apart from the previous patch because of the somewhat
dodgy ERR_PTR() use herein. Moving the quota logic means that
alloc_huge_page() has two failure modes. Quota failure must result in a
SIGBUS while a standard allocation failure is OOM. Unfortunately, ERR_PTR()
doesn't like the small positive errnos we have in VM_FAULT_* so they must be
negated before they are used.Does anyone take issue with the way I am using PTR_ERR. If so, what are your
thoughts on how to clean this up (without needing an if,else if,else block at
each alloc_huge_page() callsite)?Signed-off-by: Adam Litke

The hugetlbfs quota management system was never taught to handle MAP_PRIVATE
mappings when that support was added. Currently, quota is debited at page
instantiation and credited at file truncation. This approach works correctly
for shared pages but is incomplete for private pages. In addition to
hugetlb_no_page(), private pages can be instantiated by hugetlb_cow(); but
this function does not respect quotas.Private huge pages are treated very much like normal, anonymous pages. They
are not "backed" by the hugetlbfs file and are not stored in the mapping's
radix tree. This means that private pages are invisible to
truncate_hugepages() so that function will not credit the quota.This patch (based on a prototype provided by Ken Chen) moves quota crediting
for all pages into free_huge_page(). page->private is used to store a pointer
to the mapping to which this page belongs. This is used to credit quota on
the appropriate hugetlbfs instance.Signed-off-by: Adam Litke

Hugetlbfs implements a quota system which can limit the amount of memory that
can be used by the filesystem. Before allocating a new huge page for a file,
the quota is checked and debited. The quota is then credited when truncating
the file. I found a few bugs in the code for both MAP_PRIVATE and MAP_SHARED
mappings. Before detailing the problems and my proposed solutions, we should
agree on a definition of quotas that properly addresses both private and
shared pages. Since the purpose of quotas is to limit total memory
consumption on a per-filesystem basis, I argue that all pages allocated by the
fs (private and shared) should be charged against quota.Private Mappings
================The current code will debit quota for private pages sometimes, but will never
credit it. At a minimum, this causes a leak in the quota accounting which
renders the accounting essentially useless as it is. Shared pages have a one
to one mapping with a hugetlbfs file and are easy to account by debiting on
allocation and crediting on truncate. Private pages are anonymous in nature
and have a many to one relationship with their hugetlbfs files (due to copy on
write). Because private pages are not indexed by the mapping's radix tree,
thier quota cannot be credited at file truncation time. Crediting must be
done when the page is unmapped and freed.Shared Pages
============I discovered an issue concerning the interaction between the MAP_SHARED
reservation system and quotas. Since quota is not checked until page
instantiation, an over-quota mmap/reservation will initially succeed. When
instantiating the first over-quota page, the program will receive SIGBUS.
This is inconsistent since the reservation is supposed to be a guarantee. The
solution is to debit the full amount of quota at reservation time and credit
the unused portion when the reservation is released.This patch series brings quotas back in line by making the following
modifications:
* Private pages
- Debit quota in alloc_huge_page()
- Credit quota in free_huge_page()
* Shared pages
- Debit quota for entire reservation at mmap time
- Credit quota for instantiated pages in free_huge_page()
- Credit quota for unused reservation at munmap timeThis patch:
The shared page reservation and dynamic pool resizing features have made the
allocation of private vs. shared huge pages quite different. By splitting
out the private/shared-specific portions of the process into their own
functions, readability is greatly improved. alloc_huge_page now calls the
proper helper and performs common operations.[akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style cleanups]

When calling get_user_pages(), a write flag is passed in by the caller to
indicate if write access is required on the faulted-in pages. Currently,
follow_hugetlb_page() ignores this flag and always faults pages for
read-only access. This can cause data corruption because a device driver
that calls get_user_pages() with write set will not expect COW faults to
occur on the returned pages.This patch passes the write flag down to follow_hugetlb_page() and makes
sure hugetlb_fault() is called with the right write_access parameter.[ezk@cs.sunysb.edu: build fix]

The pf driver for parallel port floppy drives seems to be broken. At least
with Imation SuperDisk with EPAT chip, the driver calls pi_connect() and
pi_disconnect after each transferred sector. At least with EPAT, this
operation is very expensive - causes drive recalibration. Thus, transferring
even a single byte (dd if=/dev/pf0 of=/dev/null bs=1 count=1) takes 20
seconds, making the driver useless.The pf_next_buf() function seems to be broken as it returns 1 always (except
when pf_run is non-zero), causing the loop in do_pf_read_drq (and
do_pf_write_drq) to be executed only once.The following patch fixes this problem. It also fixes swapped descriptions in
pf_lock() function and removes DBMSG macro, which seems useless.Signed-off-by: Ondrej Zary

We hit the BUG_ON() in mm/rmap.c:vma_address() when trying to migrate via
mbind(MPOL_MF_MOVE) a non-anon region that spans multiple vmas. For
anon-regions, we just fail to migrate any pages beyond the 1st vma in the
range.This occurs because do_mbind() collects a list of pages to migrate by
calling check_range(). check_range() walks the task's mm, spanning vmas as
necessary, to collect the migratable pages into a list. Then, do_mbind()
calls migrate_pages() passing the list of pages, a function to allocate new
pages based on vma policy [new_vma_page()], and a pointer to the first vma
of the range.For each page in the list, new_vma_page() calls page_address_in_vma()
passing the page and the vma [first in range] to obtain the address to get
for alloc_page_vma(). The page address is needed to get interleaving
policy correct. If the pages in the list come from multiple vmas,
eventually, new_page_address() will pass that page to page_address_in_vma()
with the incorrect vma. For !PageAnon pages, this will result in a bug
check in rmap.c:vma_address(). For anon pages, vma_address() will just
return EFAULT and fail the migration.This patch modifies new_vma_page() to check the return value from
page_address_in_vma(). If the return value is EFAULT, new_vma_page()
searchs forward via vm_next for the vma that maps the page--i.e., that does
not return EFAULT. This assumes that the pages in the list handed to
migrate_pages() is in address order. This is currently case. The patch
documents this assumption in a new comment block for new_vma_page().If new_vma_page() cannot locate the vma mapping the page in a forward
search in the mm, it will pass a NULL vma to alloc_page_vma(). This will
result in the allocation using the task policy, if any, else system default
policy. This situation is unlikely, but the patch documents this behavior
with a comment.Note, this patch results in restarting from the first vma in a multi-vma
range each time new_vma_page() is called. If this is not acceptable, we
can make the vma argument a pointer, both in new_vma_page() and it's caller
unmap_and_move() so that the value held by the loop in migrate_pages()
always passes down the last vma in which a page was found. This will
require changes to all new_page_t functions passed to migrate_pages(). Is
this necessary?For this patch to work, we can't bug check in vma_address() for pages
outside the argument vma. This patch removes the BUG_ON(). All other
callers [besides new_vma_page()] already check the return status.Tested on x86_64, 4 node NUMA platform.

pud_clear wasn't setting the _PAGE_NEWPAGE bit, fooling tlb_flush into

whatever was covered by the pud.This manifested itself as ldconfig on x86_64 complaining about the first
library it looked at not being a valid ELF file. A config file is mapped at
0x4000000, as the only thing mapped under its pud, and unmapped. The
unmapping caused a pud_clear, which, due to this bug, didn't actually unmap
the config file data on the host. The first library is then mapped at the
same location, but is not actually mapped on the host because accesses to it
cause no page faults. As a result, ldconfig sees the old config file data.[akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style cleanups]
