Add an imperfect option to search a source file for email addresses. New option: --file-emails or --fe email addresses in files are freeform text and are nearly impossible to parse. Still, might as well try to do a somewhat acceptable job of finding them. This code should find all addresses that are in the form addr@domain.tld The code assumes that up to 3 alphabetic words along with dashes, commas, and periods that preceed the email address are a name. If 3 words are found for the name, and one of the first two words are a single letter and period, or just a single letter then the 3 words are use as name otherwise the last 2 words are used. Some variants that are shown correctly: John Smith <jksmith@domain.org> Random J. Developer <rjd@tld.com> Random J. Developer (rjd@tld.com) J. Random Developer rjd@tld.com Variants that are shown nominally correctly: Written by First Last (funny-addr@somecompany.com) is shown as: First Last <funny-addr@somecompany.com> Variants that are shown incorrectly: Some Really Long Name <srln@foo.bar> MontaVista Software, Inc. <source@mvista.com> are returned as: Long Name <srln@foo.bar> "Software, Inc" <source@mvista.com> --roles and --rolestats show "(in file)" for matches.

tasklist_lock does protect the task and its pid, it can't go away. The problem is that find_pid_ns() itself is unsafe without rcu lock, it can race with copy_process()->free_pid(any_pid). Protecting copy_process()->free_pid(any_pid) with tasklist_lock would make it possible to call find_task_by_pid_ns() under tasklist safely, but we don't do so because we are trying to get rid of the read_lock sites of tasklist_lock.

I've had some complaints about panic_timeout being wildly innacurate on shared processor PowerPC partitions (a 3 minute panic_timeout taking 30 minutes). The problem is we loop on mdelay(1) and with a 1ms in 10ms hypervisor timeslice each of these will take 10ms (ie 10x) longer. I expect other platforms with shared processor hypervisors will see the same issue. This patch keeps the old behaviour if we have a panic_blink (only keyboard LEDs right now) and does 1 second mdelays if we don't. Signed-off-by:

Add adds a debugfs interface and additional failure modes to LKDTM to provide similar functionality to the provoke-crash driver submitted here: http://lwn.net/Articles/371208/ Crashes can now be induced either through module parameters (as before) or through the debugfs interface as in provoke-crash. The patch also provides a new "direct" interface, where KPROBES are not used, i.e., the crash is invoked directly upon write to the debugfs file. When built without KPROBES configured, only this mode is available. Signed-off-by:

The files ./kernel/alternative.c, ./kernel/visws_quirks.c, and ./mm/kmemcheck/kmemcheck.c are all guarded by CONFIG_SMP being defined. For this case the symbol is an unsigned int and declared as an extern in include/linux/smp.h. When CONFIG_SMP is not defined the symbol setup_max_cpus is a constant value that is only used in init/main.c. Make the symbol static for this case. Signed-off-by:

swap_duplicate()'s loop appears to miss out on returning the error code from __swap_duplicate(), except when that's -ENOMEM. In fact this is intentional: prior to -ENOMEM for swap_count_continuation, swap_duplicate() was void (and the case only occurs when copy_one_pte() hits a corrupt pte). But that's surprising behaviour, which certainly deserves a comment. Signed-off-by:

Johannes Weiner authored
The VM currently assumes that an inactive, mapped and referenced file page is in use and promotes it to the active list. However, every mapped file page starts out like this and thus a problem arises when workloads create a stream of such pages that are used only for a short time. By flooding the active list with those pages, the VM quickly gets into trouble finding eligible reclaim canditates. The result is long allocation latencies and eviction of the wrong pages. This patch reuses the PG_referenced page flag (used for unmapped file pages) to implement a usage detection that scales with the speed of LRU list cycling (i.e. memory pressure). If the scanner encounters those pages, the flag is set and the page cycled again on the inactive list. Only if it returns with another page table reference it is activated. Otherwise it is reclaimed as 'not recently used cache'. This effectively changes the minimum lifetime of a used-once mapped file page from a full memory cycle to an inactive list cycle, which allows it to occur in linear streams without affecting the stable working set of the system.

Johannes Weiner authored
page_mapping_inuse() is a historic predicate function for pages that are about to be reclaimed or deactivated. According to it, a page is in use when it is mapped into page tables OR part of swap cache OR backing an mmapped file. This function is used in combination with page_referenced(), which checks for young bits in ptes and the page descriptor itself for the PG_referenced bit. Thus, checking for unmapped swap cache pages is meaningless as PG_referenced is not set for anonymous pages and unmapped pages do not have young ptes. The test makes no difference. Protecting file pages that are not by themselves mapped but are part of a mapped file is also a historic leftover for short-lived things like the exec() code in libc. However, the VM now does reference accounting and activation of pages at unmap time and thus the special treatment on reclaim is obsolete. This patch drops page_mapping_inuse() and switches the two callsites to use page_mapped() directly. Signed-off-by:

The used-once mapped file page detection patchset. It is meant to help workloads with large amounts of shortly used file mappings, like rtorrent hashing a file or git when dealing with loose objects (git gc on a bigger site?). Right now, the VM activates referenced mapped file pages on first encounter on the inactive list and it takes a full memory cycle to reclaim them again. When those pages dominate memory, the system no longer has a meaningful notion of 'working set' and is required to give up the active list to make reclaim progress. Obviously, this results in rather bad scanning latencies and the wrong pages being reclaimed. This patch makes the VM be more careful about activating mapped file pages in the first place. The minimum granted lifetime without another memory access becomes an inactive list cycle instead of the full memory cycle, which is more natural given the mentioned loads. This test resembles a hashing rtorrent process. Sequentially, 32MB chunks of a file are mapped into memory, hashed (sha1) and unmapped again. While this happens, every 5 seconds a process is launched and its execution time taken: python2.4 -c 'import pydoc' old: max=2.31s mean=1.26s (0.34) new: max=1.25s mean=0.32s (0.32) find /etc -type f old: max=2.52s mean=1.44s (0.43) new: max=1.92s mean=0.12s (0.17) vim -c ':quit' old: max=6.14s mean=4.03s (0.49) new: max=3.48s mean=2.41s (0.25) mplayer --help old: max=8.08s mean=5.74s (1.02) new: max=3.79s mean=1.32s (0.81) overall hash time (stdev): old: time=1192.30 (12.85) thruput=25.78mb/s (0.27) new: time=1060.27 (32.58) thruput=29.02mb/s (0.88) (-11%) I also tested kernbench with regular IO streaming in the background to see whether the delayed activation of frequently used mapped file pages had a negative impact on performance in the presence of pressure on the inactive list. The patch made no significant difference in timing, neither for kernbench nor for the streaming IO throughput. The first patch submission raised concerns about the cost of the extra faults for actually activated pages on machines that have no hardware support for young page table entries. I created an artificial worst case scenario on an ARM machine with around 300MHz and 64MB of memory to figure out the dimensions involved. The test would mmap a file of 20MB, then 1. touch all its pages to fault them in 2. force one full scan cycle on the inactive file LRU -- old: mapping pages activated -- new: mapping pages inactive 3. touch the mapping pages again -- old and new: fault exceptions to set the young bits 4. force another full scan cycle on the inactive file LRU 5. touch the mapping pages one last time -- new: fault exceptions to set the young bits The test showed an overall increase of 6% in time over 100 iterations of the above (old: ~212sec, new: ~225sec). 13 secs total overhead / (100 * 5k pages), ignoring the execution time of the test itself, makes for about 25us overhead for every page that gets actually activated. Note: 1. File mapping the size of one third of main memory, _completely_ in active use across memory pressure - i.e., most pages referenced within one LRU cycle. This should be rare to non-existant, especially on such embedded setups. 2. Many huge activation batches. Those batches only occur when the working set fluctuates. If it changes completely between every full LRU cycle, you have problematic reclaim overhead anyway. 3. Access of activated pages at maximum speed: sequential loads from every single page without doing anything in between. In reality, the extra faults will get distributed between actual operations on the data. So even if a workload manages to get the VM into the situation of activating a third of memory in one go on such a setup, it will take 2.2 seconds instead 2.1 without the patch. Comparing the numbers (and my user-experience over several months), I think this change is an overall improvement to the VM. Patch 1 is only refactoring to break up that ugly compound conditional in shrink_page_list() and make it easy to document and add new checks in a readable fashion. Patch 2 gets rid of the obsolete page_mapping_inuse(). It's not strictly related to #3, but it was in the original submission and is a net simplification, so I kept it. Patch 3 implements used-once detection of mapped file pages. This patch: Moving the big conditional into its own predicate function makes the code a bit easier to read and allows for better commenting on the checks one-by-one. This is just cleaning up, no semantics should have been changed. Signed-off-by:

free_area_init_nodes() emits pfn ranges for all zones on the system. There may be no pages on a higher zone, however, due to memory limitations or the use of the mem= kernel parameter. For example: Zone PFN ranges: DMA 0x00000001 -> 0x00001000 DMA32 0x00001000 -> 0x00100000 Normal 0x00100000 -> 0x00100000 The implementation copies the previous zone's highest pfn, if any, as the next zone's lowest pfn. If its highest pfn is then greater than the amount of addressable memory, the upper memory limit is used instead. Thus, both the lowest and highest possible pfn for higher zones without memory may be the same. The pfn range for zones without memory is now shown as "empty" instead. Signed-off-by:
