      rwsem_is_locked() tests ->activity without locks, so we should always keep · 2580e032
      Amerigo Wang authored 
      ->activity consistent.  However, the code in __rwsem_do_wake() breaks this
rule, it updates ->activity after _all_ readers waken up, this may give
some reader a wrong ->activity value, thus cause rwsem_is_locked() behaves
wrong.

Quote from Andrew:

"
- we have one or more processes sleeping in down_read(), waiting for access.

- we wake one or more processes up without altering ->activity

- they start to run and they do rwsem_is_locked().  This incorrectly
  returns "false", because the waker process is still crunching away in
  __rwsem_do_wake().

- the waker now alters ->activity, but it was too late.
"

So we need get a spinlock to protect this.  And rwsem_is_locked() should
not block, thus we use spin_trylock_irqsave().

Sorry, forget my last mail, I got you wrong. You're of course right,
S_IRUGO shouldn't be set for write-only attributes. Updates patch below.

This is actually too trivial to publish, but to export the function of
that chip to the userspace, a module like this is needed.

      There is a race condition in um_request_irq(). The SIGIO handling is · 356968d7
      Andrew Lunn authored 
      first enabled with the call to activate_fd().  The irq handler is then
registered with request_irq().  What can happen is that directly after
activate_fd() the SIGIO goes off and the IRQ source is disabled at the low
level, the pollfd is set to -1.  Since no irq handler has yet been
registered, the interrupt it left disabled at the low level.  The
interrupt handler is then registered, but its too late, the interrupt
source has been disabled at the lower level and is never re-enabled.  To
fix this race condition i swapped the order.  First request_irq() then
activate_fd() the interrupt sources.

There is a second bug.  In 2.6.31 there was a change to the way __do_IRQ()
and friends work for chained interrupt sources.  The old way was that all
chained interrupt handlers were called.  The new way is that the chain is
walked only until a handler returns IRQ_HANDLED or IRQ_WAKE_THREAD. 
uml_net_interrupt() would always return IRQ_HANDLED, irrespective of if
the device really did receive an interrupt or not.  This mean with the new
code only the first device on a chained interrupt ever got its interrupts
handled.  The second/third/...  device never got any interrupts processed.
 I changed uml_net_interrupt() to always return IRQ_NONE so that all
handlers get called on a chained interrupt.

And frankly, as a human I have a hard time proving the same more or less
(the size comes from the ioctl argument.  humpf.  maybe.  the code isn't
very nice)

This patch adds an explicit check to make 100% sure it's safe, better than
finding out later that there indeed was a gap.

      hugetlb_cow().  If the alloc_huge_page() in hugetlb_cow() fails due to an
insufficient huge page pool it calls unmap_ref_private() with the
mm->page_table_lock held.  unmap_ref_private() then calls
unmap_hugepage_range() which tries to acquire the mm->page_table_lock.

This can be fixed by dropping the mm->page_table_lock around the call to

the normal path anyway.

      Add a pointer to the ksm page into struct stable_node, holding a reference · b7ceb250
      Hugh Dickins authored 
      to the page while the node exists.  Put a pointer to the stable_node into
the ksm page's ->mapping.

Then we don't need get_ksm_page() while traversing the stable tree: the
page to compare against is sure to be present and correct, even if it's no
longer visible through any of its existing rmap_items.

And we can handle the forked ksm page case more efficiently: no need to
memcmp our way through the tree to find its match.

      Though we still do well to keep rmap_items in the unstable tree without a · 38e81a30
      Hugh Dickins authored 
      separate tree_item at the node, for several reasons it becomes awkward to
keep rmap_items in the stable tree without a separate stable_node: lack of
space in the nicely-sized rmap_item, the need for an anchor as rmap_items
are removed, the need for a node even when temporarily no rmap_items are
attached to it.

So declare struct stable_node (rb_node to place it in the tree and
hlist_head for the rmap_items hanging off it), and convert stable tree
handling to use it: without yet taking advantage of it.  Note how one
stable_tree_insert() of a node now has _two_ stable_tree_append()s of the
two rmap_items being merged.

      Free up a pointer in struct rmap_item, by making the mm_slot's rmap_list a · d02561bf
      Hugh Dickins authored 
      singly-linked list: we always traverse that list sequentially, and we
don't even lose any prefetches (but should consider adding a few later). 
Name it rmap_list throughout.

Do we need to free up that pointer?  Not immediately, and in the end, we
could continue to avoid it with a union; but having done the conversion,
let's keep it this way, since there's no downside, and maybe we'll want
more in future (struct rmap_item is a cache-friendly 32 bytes on 32-bit
and 64 bytes on 64-bit, so we shall want to avoid expanding it).

and the matching tree_page and the merged kpage through that code.

In some places, e.g.  break_cow(), pass rmap_item instead of separate mm
and address.

cmp_and_merge_page() initialize tree_page to NULL, to avoid a "may be used
uninitialized" warning seen in one config by Anil SB.

      There is no need for replace_page() to calculate a write-protected prot · 68f51208
      Hugh Dickins authored 
      vm_page_prot must already be write-protected for an anonymous page (see
mm/memory.c do_anonymous_page() for similar reliance on vm_page_prot).

There is no need for try_to_merge_one_page() to get_page and put_page on
newpage and oldpage: in every case we already hold a reference to each of
them.

But some instinct makes me move try_to_merge_one_page()'s unlock_page of
oldpage down after replace_page(): that doesn't increase contention on the
ksm page, and makes thinking about the transition easier.

2. First get_next_rmap_item() removes an unstable rmap_item from its tree,
   then shortly afterwards cmp_and_merge_page() removes a stable rmap_item
   from its tree: it's easier just to do both at once (but definitely keep
   the BUG_ON(age > 1) which guards against a future omission).

3. When cmp_and_merge_page() moves an rmap_item from unstable to stable
   tree, it does its own rb_erase() and accounting: that's better
   expressed by remove_rmap_item_from_tree().
