numa: add a sysctl for numa_balancing

2014-02-13T21:55:36+00:00

commit 54a43d54988a3731d644fdeb7a1d6f46b4ac64c7 upstream.

Add a working sysctl to enable/disable automatic numa memory balancing
at runtime.

This allows us to track down performance problems with this feature and
is generally a good idea.

This was possible earlier through debugfs, but only with special
debugging options set.  Also fix the boot message.

percpu_ida: Make percpu_ida_alloc + callers accept task state bitmask

2014-02-13T21:55:36+00:00

commit 6f6b5d1ec56acdeab0503d2b823f6f88a0af493e upstream.

This patch changes percpu_ida_alloc() + callers to accept task state
bitmask for prepare_to_wait() for code like target/iscsi that needs
it for interruptible sleep, that is provided in a subsequent patch.

It now expects TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE when the caller is able to sleep
waiting for a new tag, or TASK_RUNNING when the caller cannot sleep,
and is forced to return a negative value when no tags are available.

v2 changes:
  - Include blk-mq + tcm_fc + vhost/scsi + target/iscsi changes
  - Drop signal_pending_state() call
v3 changes:
  - Only call prepare_to_wait() + finish_wait() when != TASK_RUNNING

fs/compat: fix lookup_dcookie() parameter handling

2014-02-13T21:55:31+00:00

commit d8d14bd09cddbaf0168d61af638455a26bd027ff upstream.

Commit d5dc77bfeeab ("consolidate compat lookup_dcookie()") coverted all
architectures to the new compat_sys_lookup_dcookie() syscall.

The "len" paramater of the new compat syscall must have the type
compat_size_t in order to enforce zero extension for architectures where
the ABI requires that the caller of a function performed zero and/or
sign extension to 64 bit of all parameters.

fs/compat: fix parameter handling for compat readv/writev syscalls

2014-02-13T21:55:31+00:00

commit dfd948e32af2e7b28bcd7a490c0a30d4b8df2a36 upstream.

We got a report that the pwritev syscall does not work correctly in
compat mode on s390.

It turned out that with commit 72ec35163f9f ("switch compat readv/writev
variants to COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE") we lost the zero extension of a
couple of syscall parameters because the some parameter types haven't
been converted from unsigned long to compat_ulong_t.

This is needed for architectures where the ABI requires that the caller
of a function performed zero and/or sign extension to 64 bit of all
parameters.

mm/page-writeback.c: do not count anon pages as dirtyable memory

2014-02-13T21:55:29+00:00

commit a1c3bfb2f67ef766de03f1f56bdfff9c8595ab14 upstream.

The VM is currently heavily tuned to avoid swapping.  Whether that is
good or bad is a separate discussion, but as long as the VM won't swap
to make room for dirty cache, we can not consider anonymous pages when
calculating the amount of dirtyable memory, the baseline to which
dirty_background_ratio and dirty_ratio are applied.

A simple workload that occupies a significant size (40+%, depending on
memory layout, storage speeds etc.) of memory with anon/tmpfs pages and
uses the remainder for a streaming writer demonstrates this problem.  In
that case, the actual cache pages are a small fraction of what is
considered dirtyable overall, which results in an relatively large
portion of the cache pages to be dirtied.  As kswapd starts rotating
these, random tasks enter direct reclaim and stall on IO.

Only consider free pages and file pages dirtyable.

audit: correct a type mismatch in audit_syscall_exit()

2014-02-13T21:55:28+00:00

commit 06bdadd7634551cfe8ce071fe44d0311b3033d9e upstream.

audit_syscall_exit() saves a result of regs_return_value() in intermediate
"int" variable and passes it to __audit_syscall_exit(), which expects its
second argument as a "long" value.  This will result in truncating the
value returned by a system call and making a wrong audit record.

I don't know why gcc compiler doesn't complain about this, but anyway it
causes a problem at runtime on arm64 (and probably most 64-bit archs).

fuse: fix pipe_buf_operations

2014-02-13T21:55:27+00:00

commit 28a625cbc2a14f17b83e47ef907b2658576a32aa upstream.

Having this struct in module memory could Oops when if the module is
unloaded while the buffer still persists in a pipe.

Since sock_pipe_buf_ops is essentially the same as fuse_dev_pipe_buf_steal
merge them into nosteal_pipe_buf_ops (this is the same as
default_pipe_buf_ops except stealing the page from the buffer is not
allowed).

libata: disable LPM for some WD SATA-I devices

2014-02-06T19:34:05+00:00

commit ecd75ad514d73efc1bbcc5f10a13566c3ace5f53 upstream.

For some reason, some early WD drives spin up and down drives
erratically when the link is put into slumber mode which can reduce
the life expectancy of the device significantly.  Unfortunately, we
don't have full list of devices and given the nature of the issue it'd
be better to err on the side of false positives than the other way
around.  Let's disable LPM on all WD devices which match one of the
known problematic model prefixes and are SATA-I.

As horkage list doesn't support matching SATA capabilities, this is
implemented as two horkages - WD_BROKEN_LPM and NOLPM.  The former is
set for the known prefixes and sets the latter if the matched device
is SATA-I.

Note that this isn't optimal as this disables all LPM operations and
partial link power state reportedly works fine on these; however, the
way LPM is implemented in libata makes it difficult to precisely map
libata LPM setting to specific link power state.  Well, these devices
are already fairly outdated.  Let's just disable whole LPM for now.

usb: chipidea: add freescale imx28 special write register method

2014-02-06T19:33:51+00:00

commit ed8f8318d2ef3e5f9e4ddf79349508c116b68d7f upstream.

According to Freescale imx28 Errata, "ENGR119653 USB: ARM to USB
register error issue", All USB register write operations must
use the ARM SWP instruction. So, we implement special hw_write
and hw_test_and_clear for imx28.

Discussion for it at below:
