The code to mark a page as icache dirty (so that it will later be icache-dcache flushed when we try to execute from it) is duplicated in three places: flush_dcache_page() does this marking and nothing else, but clear_user_page() and copy_user_page() duplicate it, since those functions make the page icache dirty themselves. This patch makes those other functions call flush_dcache_page() instead, so the logic's all in one place. This will make life less confusing if we ever need to tweak the details of the the lazy icache flush mechanism. arch/powerpc/mm/mem.c | 14 ++------------ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 12 deletions(-) Signed-off-by:

It's possible for prom_init to allocate the flat device tree inside the kdump crash kernel region. If this happens, when we load the kdump kernel we overwrite the flattened device tree, which is bad. We could make prom_init try and avoid allocating inside the crash kernel region, but then we run into issues if the crash kernel region uses all the space inside the RMO. The easiest solution is to move the flat device tree once we're running in the kernel. Signed-off-by:

It turns out that we can't stop the watchdog from triggering here. If we touch the timer (which just uses the current jiffie value) before we enable interrupts, it does nothing because jiffies are not mass-updated until after we enable interrupts. If we touch the timer after we enable interrupts, its too late because the softlockup watchdog will already have triggered. The touch_softlockup_watchdog call removed below does nothing.

This addresses two items, which are unlikely to be hit if we trust drivers. The first is moving a memory barrier below where the vmerged SG count is passed back, but before the list is set to end. If those instructions were reordered, there could be an issue in iommu_unmap_sg(). The second is making sure we terminate the list on the failure case of iommu_map_sg(). If a driver does not look at the failure return code, it could pass a ill-formed SG list to iommu_unmap_sg(). Signed-off-by:

You can't boot a kdump kernel via OF, not reliably anyway, the kernel being at 32 MB conflicts with the zImage wrapper etc. and it blows up. It's trivial to check in prom_init though, and this is early enough that we can actually drop back to OF where a reset-all will get you going again, which is kinda nice. I think this should go in for 2.6.16. Signed-off-by:

To prevent problems later in boot, make sure we don't create zero-size lmb regions. I've checked all the callers, and at the moment no one should ever hit this. All callers use a constant size, or they check the computed size before they call us. Signed-off-by:

In prom.c we run finish_node() on allnodes twice. The first time we just calculate how much memory we'll need, the second time we do the actual work. If the calculation stage determines that we need 0 bytes, then we should skip the lmb allocation. Although an alloc of zero will work, it has been seen to lead to a BUG_ON() in reserve_bootmem() on at least one machine. Signed-off-by:

The last two 8MB TLB entries are being incorrectly set by initial_mmu on 8xx. The first entry is written with the same virtual/physical address, which renders it invalid: BDI>rms 792 0x00001e00 BDI>rms 824 1 BDI>rds 824 SPR 824 : 0xc08000c0 -1065353024 BDI>rds 825 SPR 825 : 0xc0800de0 -1065349664 BDI>rds 826 SPR 826 : 0x00000000 0 And the second entry, in addition, does not have its TLB index set correctly.

The non-NUMA case would do an unmatched "free_alien_cache()" on an alien pointer that had never been allocated. It might not matter from a code generation standpoint (since in the non-NUMA case, the code doesn't actually _do_ anything), but it not only results in a compiler warning, it's really really ugly too. Fix the compiler warning by just having a matching dummy allocation. That also avoids an unnecessary #ifdef in the code. Signed-off-by: -

On a system where libintl.h is present, but the NLS functionality is supplied by a separate library instead of the system C library, an attempt to "make config" or "make menuconfig" will fail with link errors, ex: scripts/kconfig/mconf.o:mconf.c:(.text+0xf63): undefined reference to `_libintl_gettext' This patch attempts to correct the problem by detecting whether or not NLS support requires linking with libintl.

i386 CPU init code accesses freed init memory when booting a newly-started processor after CPU hotplug. The cpu_devs array is searched to find the vendor and it contains pointers to freed data. Fix that by: 1. Zeroing entries for freed vendor data after bootup. 2. Changing Transmeta, NSC and UMC to all __init[data]. 3. Printing a warning (once only) and setting this_cpu to a safe default when the vendor is not found. This does not change behavior for AMD systems. They were broken already but no error was reported.

When walking a path, the LOOKUP_CONTINUE flag is used by some filesystems (for instance NFS) in order to determine whether or not it is looking up the last component of the path. It this is the case, it may have to look at the intent information in order to perform various tasks such as atomic open. A problem currently occurs when link_path_walk() hits a symlink. In this case LOOKUP_CONTINUE may be cleared prematurely when we hit the end of the path passed by __vfs_follow_link() (i.e. the end of the symlink path) rather than when we hit the end of the path passed by the user. The solution is to have link_path_walk() clear LOOKUP_CONTINUE if and only if that flag was unset when we entered the function. Signed-off-by:

This fixes locking and bugs in cpu_down and cpu_up paths of the NUMA slab allocator. Sonny Rao <sonny@burdell.org> reported problems sometime back on POWER5 boxes, when the last cpu on the nodes were being offlined. We could not reproduce the same on x86_64 because the cpumask (node_to_cpumask) was not being updated on cpu down. Since that issue is now fixed, we can reproduce Sonny's problems on x86_64 NUMA, and here is the fix. The problem earlier was on CPU_DOWN, if it was the last cpu on the node to go down, the array_caches (shared, alien) and the kmem_list3 of the node were being freed (kfree) with the kmem_list3 lock held. If the l3 or the array_caches were to come from the same cache being cleared, we hit on badness. This patch cleans up the locking in cpu_up and cpu_down path. We cannot really free l3 on cpu down because, there is no node offlining yet and even though a cpu is not yet up, node local memory can be allocated for it. So l3s are usually allocated at keme_cache_create and destroyed at kmem_cache_destroy. Hence, we don't need cachep->spinlock protection to get to the cachep->nodelist[nodeid] either. Patch survived onlining and offlining on a 4 core 2 node Tyan box with a 4 dbench process running all the time. Signed-off-by:

Earlier, we had to disable on chip interrupts while taking the cachep->spinlock because, at cache_grow, on every addition of a slab to a slab cache, we incremented colour_next which was protected by the cachep->spinlock, and cache_grow could occur at interrupt context. Since, now we protect the per-node colour_next with the node's list_lock, we do not need to disable on chip interrupts while taking the per-cache spinlock, but we just need to disable interrupts when taking the per-node kmem_list3 list_lock.

colour_next is used as an index to add a colouring offset to a new slab in the cache (colour_off * colour_next). Now with the NUMA aware slab allocator, it makes sense to colour slabs added on the same node sequentially with colour_next. This patch moves the colouring index "colour_next" per-node by placing it on kmem_list3 rather than kmem_cache. This also helps simplify locking for CPU up and down paths. Signed-off-by:

Ben points out that: When writing files out using O_SYNC, jbd's 1 jiffy delay results in a significant drop in throughput as the disk sits idle. The patch below results in a 4-5x performance improvement (from 6.5MB/s to ~24-30MB/s on my IDE test box) when writing out files using O_SYNC. So optimise the batching code by omitting it entirely if the process which is doing a sync write is the same as the one which did the most recent sync write. If that's true, we're unlikely to get any other processes joining the transaction. (Has been in -mm for ages - it took me a long time to get on to performance testing it) Numbers, on write-cache-disabled IDE: /usr/bin/time -p synctest -n 10 -uf -t 1 -p 1 dir-name Unpatched: 40 seconds Patched: 35 seconds Batching disabled: 35 seconds This is the problematic single-process-doing-fsync case. With multiple fsyncing processes the numbers are AFACIT unaltered by the patch. Aside: performance testing and instrumentation shows that the transaction batching almost doesn't help (testing with synctest -n 1 -uf -t 100 -p 10 dir-name on non-writeback-caching IDE). This is because by the time one process is running a synchronous commit, a bunch of other processes already have a transaction handle open, so they're all going to batch into the same transaction anyway. The batching seems to offer maybe 5-10% speedup with this workload, but I'm pretty sure it was more important than that when it was first developed 4-odd years ago... Cc: "Stephen C.
