We allow violation of bdi limits if there is a lot of room on the system. Once we hit half the total limit we start enforcing bdi limits and bdi ramp-up should happen. Doing it this way avoids many small writeouts on an otherwise idle system and should also speed up the ramp-up. Signed-off-by:

We should unset migrate type "ISOLATE" when we successfully removed memory. But current code has BUG and cannot works well. This patch also includes bugfix? to change get_pageblock_flags to get_pageblock_migratetype(). Thanks to Badari Pulavarty for finding this. Signed-off-by:

We hit the BUG_ON() in mm/rmap.c:vma_address() when trying to migrate via mbind(MPOL_MF_MOVE) a non-anon region that spans multiple vmas. For anon-regions, we just fail to migrate any pages beyond the 1st vma in the range. This occurs because do_mbind() collects a list of pages to migrate by calling check_range(). check_range() walks the task's mm, spanning vmas as necessary, to collect the migratable pages into a list. Then, do_mbind() calls migrate_pages() passing the list of pages, a function to allocate new pages based on vma policy [new_vma_page()], and a pointer to the first vma of the range. For each page in the list, new_vma_page() calls page_address_in_vma() passing the page and the vma [first in range] to obtain the address to get for alloc_page_vma(). The page address is needed to get interleaving policy correct. If the pages in the list come from multiple vmas, eventually, new_page_address() will pass that page to page_address_in_vma() with the incorrect vma. For !PageAnon pages, this will result in a bug check in rmap.c:vma_address(). For anon pages, vma_address() will just return EFAULT and fail the migration. This patch modifies new_vma_page() to check the return value from page_address_in_vma(). If the return value is EFAULT, new_vma_page() searchs forward via vm_next for the vma that maps the page--i.e., that does not return EFAULT. This assumes that the pages in the list handed to migrate_pages() is in address order. This is currently case. The patch documents this assumption in a new comment block for new_vma_page(). If new_vma_page() cannot locate the vma mapping the page in a forward search in the mm, it will pass a NULL vma to alloc_page_vma(). This will result in the allocation using the task policy, if any, else system default policy. This situation is unlikely, but the patch documents this behavior with a comment. Note, this patch results in restarting from the first vma in a multi-vma range each time new_vma_page() is called. If this is not acceptable, we can make the vma argument a pointer, both in new_vma_page() and it's caller unmap_and_move() so that the value held by the loop in migrate_pages() always passes down the last vma in which a page was found. This will require changes to all new_page_t functions passed to migrate_pages(). Is this necessary? For this patch to work, we can't bug check in vma_address() for pages outside the argument vma. This patch removes the BUG_ON(). All other callers [besides new_vma_page()] already check the return status. Tested on x86_64, 4 node NUMA platform. Signed-off-by:

Forbid user from changing file flags on quota files. User has no bussiness in playing with these flags when quota is on. Furthermore there is a remote possibility of deadlock due to a lock inversion between quota file's i_mutex and transaction's start (i_mutex for quota file is locked only when trasaction is started in quota operations) in ext3 and ext4.

pud_clear wasn't setting the _PAGE_NEWPAGE bit, fooling tlb_flush into thinking that this area of the address space was up-to-date and not unmapping whatever was covered by the pud. This manifested itself as ldconfig on x86_64 complaining about the first library it looked at not being a valid ELF file. A config file is mapped at 0x4000000, as the only thing mapped under its pud, and unmapped. The unmapping caused a pud_clear, which, due to this bug, didn't actually unmap the config file data on the host. The first library is then mapped at the same location, but is not actually mapped on the host because accesses to it cause no page faults. As a result, ldconfig sees the old config file data.

Instruction pointer returned by profile_pc() can be a random value. This break the assumption than we can safely set struct op_sample.eip field to a magic value to signal to the per-cpu buffer reader side special event like task switch ending up in a segfault in get_task_mm() when profile_pc() return ~0UL. Fixed by sanitizing the sampled eip and reject/log invalid eip. Problem reported by Sami Farin, patch tested by him. Signed-off-by:

mac80211 has a reference to __bitmap_empty() via bitmap_empty().

Several of the RTC drivers are exporting binary "nvram" files in sysfs. Such NVRAM (or on many systems, EEPROM) data is often initialized during system manufacture to hold data about identity (serial numbers, Ethernet addresses, etc), configuration, calibration, and so forth. This patch improves integrity and security of those files: - Correctly initializes the size in one of the two cases where that was not yet being done. - Improves system security/integrity by making this state not be world-writable by default. Letting arbitrary userspace code mangle such state by default is at least Not A Good Thing; and it could sometimes be worse, depending on the particular data that might be corrupted. (I disregard the paranoiac "don't let anyone read it either" approach. Anyone storing passwords in such memory doesn't really care about security.)

The RTC "hctosys" mechanism expects that RTC clock will use UTC, not local time (e.g. PST). Say so in Kconfig and in the kernel message. (Strictly speaking, the RTC clock should be tracking the POSIX epoch. That's not worth going into here. Goofing timezones means clocks are wrong by many hours; the POSIX-v-UTC differences just cost seconds.) Signed-off-by:
