mmu_mapin_ram() loops over total_lowmem to setup page tables. However, if total_lowmem is less that 16M, the subtraction rolls over and results in a number just under 4G (because total_lowmem is an unsigned value). This patch rejigs the loop from countup to countdown to eliminate the bug. Special thanks to Magnus Hjorth who wrote the original patch to fix this bug. This patch improves on his by making the loop code simpler (which also eliminates the possibility of another rollover at the high end) and also applies the change to arch/powerpc. Signed-off-by:

The 44x family has an interesting "feature" which is a virtually tagged instruction cache (yuck !). So far, we haven't dealt with it properly, which means we've been mostly lucky or people didn't report the problems, unless people have been running custom patches in their distro... This is an attempt at fixing it properly. I chose to do it by setting a global flag whenever we change a PTE that was previously marked executable, and flush the entire instruction cache upon return to user space when that happens. This is a bit heavy handed, but it's hard to do more fine grained flushes as the icbi instruction, on those processor, for some very strange reasons (since the cache is virtually mapped) still requires a valid TLB entry for reading in the target address space, which isn't something I want to deal with.

On 4xx CPUs, the current implementation of flush_tlb_page() uses a low level _tlbie() assembly function that only works for the current PID. Thus, invalidations caused by, for example, a COW fault triggered by get_user_pages() from a different context will not work properly, causing among other things, gdb breakpoints to fail. This patch adds a "pid" argument to _tlbie() on 4xx processors, and uses it to flush entries in the right context. FSL BookE also gets the argument but it seems they don't need it (their tlbivax form ignores the PID when invalidating according to the document I have). Signed-off-by:

PowerPC 440EP(x) 440GR(x) processors have the same PVR values, since they have identical cores. However, FPU is not supported on GR(x) and enabling APU instruction broadcast in the CCR0 register (to enable FPU) may cause unpredictable results. There's no safe way to detect FPU support at runtime. This patch provides a workarund for the issue. We use a POWER6 "logical PVR approach". First, we identify all EP(x) and GR(x) processors as GR(x) ones (which is safe). Then we check the device tree cpu path. If we have a EP(x) processor entry, we call identify_cpu again with PVR | 0x8. This bit is always 0 in the real PVR. This way we enable FPU only for 440EP(x). Signed-off-by:

Commit commit 65b8291c ("dio: invalidate clean pages before dio write") introduced a bug which stopped dio from ever invalidating the page cache after writes. It still invalidated it before writes so most users were fine. Karl Schendel reported ( http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/10/26/481 ) hitting this bug when he had a buffered reader immediately reading file data after an O_DIRECT wirter had written the data. The kernel issued read-ahead beyond the position of the reader which overlapped with the O_DIRECT writer. The failure to invalidate after writes caused the reader to see stale data from the read-ahead. The following patch is originally from Karl. The following commentary is his: The below 3rd try takes on your suggestion of just invalidating no matter what the retval from the direct_IO call. I ran it thru the test-case several times and it has worked every time. The post-invalidate is probably still too early for async-directio, but I don't have a testcase for that; just sync. And, this won't be any worse in the async case. I added a test to the aio-dio-regress repository which mimics Karl's IO pattern. It verifed the bad behaviour and that the patch fixed it. I agree with Karl, this still doesn't help the case where a buffered reader follows an AIO O_DIRECT writer. That will require a bit more work. This gives up on the idea of returning EIO to indicate to userspace that stale data remains if the invalidation failed. Signed-off-by:

It's currently possible to send posix_locks_deadlock() into an infinite loop (under the BKL). For now, fix this just by bailing out after a few iterations. We may want to fix this in a way that better clarifies the semantics of deadlock detection. But that will take more time, and this minimal fix is probably adequate for any realistic scenario, and is simple enough to be appropriate for applying to stable kernels now.

Evgeniy said: I wonder on what type of UFS do you test this patch? NetBSD and FreeBSD do not use "fs_state", they use "fs_clean" flag, only Solaris does check like this: fs_state + fs_time == FSOK. That's why parentheses was like that. At now with linux-2.6.24-rc1-git1, I get: fs need fsck, but NetBSD's fsck says that's all ok. I suggest revert this patch.

It's possible to provoke unionfs (not yet in mainline, though in mm and some distros) to hit shmem_writepage's BUG_ON(page_mapped(page)). I expect it's possible to provoke the 2.6.23 ecryptfs in the same way (but the 2.6.24 ecryptfs no longer calls lower level's ->writepage). This came to light with the recent find that AOP_WRITEPAGE_ACTIVATE could leak from tmpfs via write_cache_pages and unionfs to userspace. There's already a fix (e4230030 - writeback: don't propagate AOP_WRITEPAGE_ACTIVATE) in the tree for that, and it's okay so far as it goes; but insufficient because it doesn't address the underlying issue, that shmem_writepage expects to be called only by vmscan (relying on backing_dev_info capabilities to prevent the normal writeback path from ever approaching it). That's an increasingly fragile assumption, and ramdisk_writepage (the other source of AOP_WRITEPAGE_ACTIVATEs) is already careful to check wbc->for_reclaim before returning it. Make the same check in shmem_writepage, thereby sidestepping the page_mapped BUG also. Signed-off-by:

mm/sparse-vmemmap.c uses init_mm in some places. However, it is not present in any of the headers currently included in the file. init_mm is defined as extern in sched.h, so we add it to the headers list Up to now, this problem was masked by the fact that functions like set_pte_at() and pmd_populate_kernel() are usually macros that expand to simpler variants that does not use the first parameter at all.
