Recent cleanup of slab.h broke SLOB allocator: the routine kmem_cache_init
has now the __init attribute for both slab.c and slob.c. This routine
cannot be removed after init in the case of slob.c -- it serves as a timer
callback.Provide a separate timer callback routine, call it once from kmem_cache_init,
keep the __init attribute on the latter.Signed-off-by: Dimitri Gorokhovik

Remove the __resched_legal() check: it is conceptually broken. The biggest
problem it had is that it can mask buggy cond_resched() calls. A
cond_resched() call is only legal if we are not in an atomic context, with
two narrow exceptions:- if the system is booting
- a reacquire_kernel_lock() down() done while PREEMPT_ACTIVE is setBut __resched_legal() hid this and just silently returned whenever
these primitives were called from invalid contexts. (Same goes for
cond_resched_locked() and cond_resched_softirq()).Furthermore, the __legal_resched(0) call was buggy in that it caused
unnecessarily long softirq latencies via cond_resched_softirq(). (which is
only called from softirq-off sections, hence the code did nothing.)The fix is to resurrect the efficiency of the might_sleep checks and to
only allow the narrow exceptions.Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

include/linux/utsrelease.h and include/linux/version.h aren't removed any
more by mrproper in kernel 2.6.20-rc2. The patch below fixes this.The definition of MRPROPER_FILES looks weird: generated-headers looks like
a misspelling of generated_headers, but that one is a Makefile target, not
a variable or a file, so I don't see how including it in MRPROPER_FILES
could have any effect.Signed-off-by: Mikael Pettersson

constrained_alloc(), which is called to detect where oom is from, checks
passed zone_list(). If zone_list doesn't include all nodes, it thinks oom
is from mempolicy.But there is memory-less-node. memory-less-node's zones are never included
in zonelist[].contstrained_alloc() should get memory_less_node into count. Otherwise, it
always thinks 'oom is from mempolicy'. This means that current process
dies at any time. This patch fix it.Signed-off-by: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki

WARN_ON() ever triggering is a kernel bug. Do not try to paper over this
fact by suggesting to the user that this is 'only' a warning, as the
following recent commit does:commit 30e25b71e725b150585e17888b130e3324f8cf7c
Author: Jeremy Fitzhardinge
Date: Fri Dec 8 02:36:24 2006 -0800[PATCH] Fix generic WARN_ON message
A warning is a warning, not a BUG.
( it might make sense to rename BUG() to CRASH() and BUG_ON() to
CRASH_ON(), but that does not change the fact that WARN_ON()
signals a kernel bug. )i and others objected to this change during lkml review:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=116115160710533&w=2
still the change slipped upstream - grumble :)
Also, use the standard "BUG: " format to make it easier to grep logs and
to make it easier to google for kernel bugs.Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

lockdep found a AB BC CA lock inversion in retry-based AIO:
1) The task struct's alloc_lock (A) is acquired in process context with
interrupts enabled. An interrupt might arrive and call wake_up() which
grabs the wait queue's q->lock (B).2) When performing retry-based AIO the AIO core registers
aio_wake_function() as the wake funtion for iocb->ki_wait. It is called
with the wait queue's q->lock (B) held and then tries to add the iocb to
the run list after acquiring the ctx_lock (C).3) aio_kick_handler() holds the ctx_lock (C) while acquiring the
alloc_lock (A) via lock_task() and unuse_mm(). Lockdep emits a warning
saying that we're trying to connect the irq-safe q->lock to the
irq-unsafe alloc_lock via ctx_lock.This fixes the inversion by calling unuse_mm() in the AIO kick handing path
after we've released the ctx_lock. As Ben LaHaise pointed out __put_ioctx
could set ctx->mm to NULL, so we must only access ctx->mm while we have the
lock.Signed-off-by: Zach Brown

netxen: remove private ioctl -
The VM layer (on the face of it, fairly reasonably) expected that when
it does a ->writepage() call to the filesystem, it would write out the
full page at that point in time. Especially since it had earlier marked
the whole page dirty with "set_page_dirty()".But that isn't actually the case: ->writepage() does not actually write
a page, it writes the parts of the page that have been explicitly marked
dirty before, *and* that had not got written out for other reasons since
the last time we told it they were dirty.That last caveat is the important one.
Which _most_ of the time ends up being the whole page (since we had
called "set_page_dirty()" on the page earlier), but if the filesystem
had done any dirty flushing of its own (for example, to honor some
internal write ordering guarantees), it might end up doing only a
partial page IO (or none at all) when ->writepage() is actually called.That is the correct thing in general (since we actually often _want_
only the known-dirty parts of the page to be written out), but the
shared dirty page handling had implicitly forgotten about these details,
and had a number of cases where it was doing just the "->writepage()"
part, without telling the low-level filesystem that the whole page might
have been re-dirtied as part of being mapped writably into user space.Since most of the time the FS did actually write out the full page, we
didn't notice this for a loong time, and this needed some really odd
patterns to trigger. But it caused occasional corruption with rtorrent
and with the Debian "apt" database, because both use shared mmaps to
update the end result.This fixes it. Finally. After way too much hair-pulling.
