2011-07-26xfs: flag all buffers as metadataChristoph Hellwig1-0/+3
Now that REQ_META bios aren't treated specially in the CFQ I/O schedule anymore, we can tag all buffers as metadata to make blktrace traces more meaningful. Note that we use buffers also to zero out partial blocks in the preallocation / hole punching code, and while they operate on data blocks the zeros written certainly aren't data. I think this case is borderline metadata enough to not bother special casing it. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Alex Elder <aelder@sgi.com>

After changing all consumers of atomics to include <linux/atomic.h>, we ran into some compile time errors due to this dependency chain: linux/atomic.h -> asm/atomic.h -> asm-generic/atomic-long.h where atomic-long.h could use funcs defined later in linux/atomic.h without a prototype. This patches moves the code that includes asm-generic/atomic*.h to linux/atomic.h.

2011-07-26panic, vt: do not force oops output when panic_timeout < 0Mandeep Singh Baines1-1/+1
Don't force output if you intend to reboot immediately. In this patch, I'm disabling the functionality enabled by vc->vc_panic_force_write if panic_timeout < 0 (i.e. no timeout). vc_panic_force_write is only enabled for fb video consoles if the FBINFO_CAN_FORCE_OUTPUT flag is set. For our application, we're using ram_oops to preserved the panic in memory. We want to reliably, and as fast as possible, machine_restart. The vc_panic_force_write flag results in a bunch of graphics driver code to be invoked which slows down restart and decreases reliability. Since we're already storing the panic in RAM and are going to reboot immediately, there is no benefit in mode switching back to the vc in order to display the panic output. The log buffer will get flushed by the console_unblank() call so remote management consoles should see all output.

2011-07-26panic: panic=-1 for immediate rebootHugh Dickins2-1/+5
When a kernel BUG or oops occurs, ChromeOS intends to panic and immediately reboot, with stacktrace and other messages preserved in RAM across reboot. But the longer we delay, the more likely the user is to poweroff and lose the info. panic_timeout (seconds before rebooting) is set by panic= boot option or sysctl or /proc/sys/kernel/panic; but 0 means wait forever, so at present we have to delay at least 1 second. Let a negative number mean reboot immediately (with the small cosmetic benefit of suppressing that newline-less "Rebooting in %d seconds.." message).

2011-07-26ipc: introduce shm_rmid_forced sysctlVasiliy Kulikov6-4/+163
Add support for the shm_rmid_forced sysctl. If set to 1, all shared memory objects in current ipc namespace will be automatically forced to use IPC_RMID. The POSIX way of handling shmem allows one to create shm objects and call shmdt(), leaving shm object associated with no process, thus consuming memory not counted via rlimits. With shm_rmid_forced=1 the shared memory object is counted at least for one process, so OOM killer may effectively kill the fat process holding the shared memory. It obviously breaks POSIX - some programs relying on the feature would stop working. So set shm_rmid_forced=1 only if you're sure nobody uses "orphaned" memory. Use shm_rmid_forced=0 by default for compatability reasons. The feature was previously impemented in -ow as a configure option.

2011-07-26exec: do not call request_module() twice from search_binary_handler()Tetsuo Handa1-0/+2
Currently, search_binary_handler() tries to load binary loader module using request_module() if a loader for the requested program is not yet loaded. But second attempt of request_module() does not affect the result of search_binary_handler(). If request_module() triggered recursion, calling request_module() twice causes 2 to the power of MAX_KMOD_CONCURRENT (= 50) repetitions. It is not an infinite loop but is sufficient for users to consider as a hang up. Therefore, this patch changes not to call request_module() twice, making 1 to the power of MAX_KMOD_CONCURRENT repetitions in case of recursion.

2011-07-26proc: fix a race in do_io_accounting()Vasiliy Kulikov1-3/+13
If an inode's mode permits opening /proc/PID/io and the resulting file descriptor is kept across execve() of a setuid or similar binary, the ptrace_may_access() check tries to prevent using this fd against the task with escalated privileges. Unfortunately, there is a race in the check against execve(). If execve() is processed after the ptrace check, but before the actual io information gathering, io statistics will be gathered from the privileged process. At least in theory this might lead to gathering sensible information (like ssh/ftp password length) that wouldn't be available otherwise. Holding task->signal->cred_guard_mutex while gathering the io information should protect against the race. The order of locking is similar to the one inside of ptrace_attach(): first goes cred_guard_mutex, then lock_task_sighand().

2011-07-26procfs: return ENOENT on opening a being-removed proc entryDaisuke Ogino1-1/+1
Change the return value to ENOENT. This return value is then returned when opening the proc entry that have been removed. For example, open("/proc/bus/pci/XX/YY") when the corresponding device is being hot-removed.

2011-07-26do_coredump: fix the "ispipe" error checkOleg Nesterov1-6/+6
do_coredump() assumes that if format_corename() fails it should return -ENOMEM. This is not true, for example cn_print_exe_file() can propagate the error from d_path. Even if it was true, this is too fragile. Change the code to check "ispipe < 0".

2011-07-26coredump: escape / in hostname and commJiri Slaby1-8/+23
Change every occurence of / in comm and hostname to !. If the process changes its name to contain /, the core is not dumped (if the directory tree doesn't exist like that). The same with hostname being something like myhost/3. Fix this behaviour by using the escape loop used in %E. (We extract it to a separate function.) Now both with comm == myprocess/1 and hostname == myhost/1, the core is dumped like (kernel.core_pattern='core.%p.%e.%h): core.2349.myprocess!1.myhost!1 Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby <jslaby@suse.cz> Cc: Alan Cox <alan@lxorguk.ukuu.org.uk> Cc: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Cc: Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

If we don't know the file corresponding to the binary (i.e. exe_file is unknown), use "task->comm (path unknown)" instead of simple "(unknown)" as suggested by ak. The fallback is the same as %e except it will append "(path unknown)".

2011-07-26cpusets: randomize node rotor used in cpuset_mem_spread_node()Michal Hocko6-1/+43
[ This patch has already been accepted as commit 0ac0c0d0f837 but later reverted (commit 35926ff5fba8) because it itroduced arch specific __node_random which was defined only for x86 code so it broke other archs. This is a followup without any arch specific code. Other than that there are no functional changes.] Some workloads that create a large number of small files tend to assign too many pages to node 0 (multi-node systems). Part of the reason is that the rotor (in cpuset_mem_spread_node()) used to assign nodes starts at node 0 for newly created tasks. This patch changes the rotor to be initialized to a random node number of the cpuset.

2011-07-26memcg: get rid of percpu_charge_mutex lockMichal Hocko1-10/+2
percpu_charge_mutex protects from multiple simultaneous per-cpu charge caches draining because we might end up having too many work items. At least this was the case until commit 26fe61684449 ("memcg: fix percpu cached charge draining frequency") when we introduced a more targeted draining for async mode. Now that also sync draining is targeted we can safely remove mutex because we will not send more work than the current number of CPUs. FLUSHING_CACHED_CHARGE protects from sending the same work multiple times and stock->nr_pages == 0 protects from pointless sending a work if there is obviously nothing to be done. This is of course racy but we can live with it as the race window is really small (we would have to see FLUSHING_CACHED_CHARGE cleared while nr_pages would be still non-zero). The only remaining place where we can race is synchronous mode when we rely on FLUSHING_CACHED_CHARGE test which might have been set by other drainer on the same group but we should wait in that case as well.
