If node_load[] is cleared everytime build_zonelists() is called,node_load[] will have no help to find the next node that should appear in the given node's fallback list. Because of the bug, zonelist's node_order is not calculated as expected. This bug affects on big machine, which has asynmetric node distance. [synmetric NUMA's node distance] 0 1 2 0 10 12 12 1 12 10 12 2 12 12 10 [asynmetric NUMA's node distance] 0 1 2 0 10 12 20 1 12 10 14 2 20 14 10 This (my bug) is very old but no one has reported this for a long time. Maybe because the number of asynmetric NUMA is very small and they use cpuset for customizing node memory allocation fallback.

The commit 2ff05b2b (oom: move oom_adj value) moveed the oom_adj value to the mm_struct. It was a very good first step for sanitize OOM. However Paul Menage reported the commit makes regression to his job scheduler. Current OOM logic can kill OOM_DISABLED process. Why? His program has the code of similar to the following. ... set_oom_adj(OOM_DISABLE); /* The job scheduler never killed by oom */ ... if (vfork() == 0) { set_oom_adj(0); /* Invoked child can be killed */ execve("foo-bar-cmd"); } .... vfork() parent and child are shared the same mm_struct. then above set_oom_adj(0) doesn't only change oom_adj for vfork() child, it's also change oom_adj for vfork() parent. Then, vfork() parent (job scheduler) lost OOM immune and it was killed. Actually, fork-setting-exec idiom is very frequently used in userland program. We must not break this assumption. Then, this patch revert commit 2ff05b2b and related commit.

In 5e140dfc "net: reorder struct Qdisc for better SMP performance" the definition of struct gnet_stats_basic changed incompatibly, as copies of this struct are shipped to userland via netlink. Restoring old behavior is not welcome, for performance reason. Fix is to use a private structure for kernel, and teach gnet_stats_copy_basic() to convert from kernel to user land, using legacy structure (struct gnet_stats_basic) Based on a report and initial patch from Michael Spang.

The inotify_add_watch man page specifies that inotify_add_watch() will return a non-negative integer. However, historically the inotify watches started at 1, not at 0. Turns out that the inotifywait program provided by the inotify-tools package doesn't properly handle a 0 watch descriptor. In 7e790dd5 we changed from starting at 1 to starting at 0. This patch starts at 1, just like in previous kernels, but also just like in previous kernels it's possible for it to wrap back to 0. This preserves the kernel functionality exactly like it was before the patch (neither method broke the spec) Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

In f44aebcc the tail drop logic of events with no file backing (q_overflow and in_ignored) was reversed so IN_IGNORED events would never be tail dropped. This now means that Q_OVERFLOW events are NOT tail dropped. The fix is to not tail drop IN_IGNORED, but to tail drop Q_OVERFLOW.

inotify decides if private data it passed to get added to an event was used by checking list_empty(). But it's possible that the event may have been dequeued and the private event removed so it would look empty. The fix is to use the return code from fsnotify_add_notify_event rather than looking at the list.

The locking in xfs_iget_cache_hit currently has numerous problems: - we clear the reclaim tag without i_flags_lock which protects modifications to it - we call inode_init_always which can sleep with pag_ici_lock held (this is oss.sgi.com BZ #819) - we acquire and drop i_flags_lock a lot and thus provide no consistency between the various flags we set/clear under it This patch fixes all that with a major revamp of the locking in the function. The new version acquires i_flags_lock early and only drops it once we need to call into inode_init_always or before calling xfs_ilock. This patch fixes a bug seen in the wild where we race modifying the reclaim tag.

Currently SELinux enforcement of controls on the ability to map low memory is determined by the mmap_min_addr tunable. This patch causes SELinux to ignore the tunable and instead use a seperate Kconfig option specific to how much space the LSM should protect. The tunable will now only control the need for CAP_SYS_RAWIO and SELinux permissions will always protect the amount of low memory designated by CONFIG_LSM_MMAP_MIN_ADDR. This allows users who need to disable the mmap_min_addr controls (usual reason being they run WINE as a non-root user) to do so and still have SELinux controls preventing confined domains (like a web server) from being able to map some area of low memory.

Currently SELinux does not check CAP_SYS_RAWIO in the file_mmap hook. This means there is no DAC check on the ability to mmap low addresses in the memory space. This function adds the DAC check for CAP_SYS_RAWIO while maintaining the selinux check on mmap_zero. This means that processes which need to mmap low memory will need CAP_SYS_RAWIO and mmap_zero but will NOT need the SELinux sys_rawio capability.

The triggered field of struct poll_wqueues introduced in commit 5f820f64 ("poll: allow f_op->poll to sleep"). It was first set to 1 in pollwake() (now __pollwake() ), tested and later set to 0 in poll_schedule_timeout(), but not initialized before. As a result when the process needs to sleep, triggered was likely to be non-zero even if pollwake() is not called before the first poll_schedule_timeout(), meaning schedule_hrtimeout_range() would not be called and an extra loop calling all ->poll() would be done. This patch initialize triggered to 0 in poll_initwait() so the ->poll() are not called twice before the process goes to sleep when it needs to.
