The patch '[PATCH] RCU signal handling' [1] added an export for __put_task_struct_cb, a put_task_struct helper newly introduced in that patch. But the put_task_struct couldn't be used modular previously as __put_task_struct wasn't exported. There are not callers of it in modular code, and it shouldn't be exported because we don't want drivers to hold references to task_structs. This patch removes the export and folds __put_task_struct into __put_task_struct_cb as there's no other caller.

Disable (via ugly #if 0's) the 3 sysfs files that I think by now we all agree are very much wrong. These files shouldn't become part of the ABI by the 2.6.16 release, so I rather have this minimal patch merged to disable them for now, the real fix can then come during the 2.6.17 devel window.

One can do "chattr +j" on a file to change its journalling mode. Fix writeback mode with "nobh" handling for it. Even though, we mount ext3 filesystem in writeback mode with "nobh" option, some one can do "chattr +j" on a single file to force it to do journalled mode. In order to do journaling, ext3_block_truncate_page() need to fallback to default case of creating buffers and adding them to transaction etc. Signed-off-by:

This patch fixes illegal __GFP_FS allocation inside ext3 transaction in ext3_symlink(). Such allocation may re-enter ext3 code from try_to_free_pages. But JBD/ext3 code keeps a pointer to current journal handle in task_struct and, hence, is not reentrable. This bug led to "Assertion failure in journal_dirty_metadata()" messages. http://bugzilla.openvz.org/show_bug.cgi?id=115Signed-off-by:

Rebuilding a previously built tree while using make's -j option from time to time results in the version.h check running at the same time as the updating of .kernelrelease, resulting in UTS_RELEASE remaining an empty string (and as a side effect causing the entire kernel to be rebuilt).

The cache reaper currently tries to free all alien caches and all remote per cpu pages in each pass of cache_reap. For a machines with large number of nodes (such as Altix) this may lead to sporadic delays of around ~10ms. Interrupts are disabled while reclaiming creating unacceptable delays. This patch changes that behavior by adding a per cpu reap_node variable. Instead of attempting to free all caches, we free only one alien cache and the per cpu pages from one remote node. That reduces the time spend in cache_reap. However, doing so will lengthen the time it takes to completely drain all remote per cpu pagesets and all alien caches. The time needed will grow with the number of nodes in the system. All caches are drained when they overflow their respective capacity. So the drawback here is only that a bit of memory may be wasted for awhile longer. Details: 1. Rename drain_remote_pages to drain_node_pages to allow the specification of the node to drain of pcp pages. 2. Add additional functions init_reap_node, next_reap_node for NUMA that manage a per cpu reap_node counter. 3. Add a reap_alien function that reaps only from the current reap_node. For us this seems to be a critical issue. Holdoffs of an average of ~7ms cause some HPC benchmarks to slow down significantly. F.e. NAS parallel slows down dramatically. NAS parallel has a 12-16 seconds runtime w/o rotor compared to 5.8 secs with the rotor patches. It gets down to 5.05 secs with the additional interrupt holdoff reductions. Signed-off-by:

When pages are onlined, not only zone->present_pages but also pgdat->node_present_pages should be refreshed. This parameter is used to show information at /sys/device/system/node/nodeX/meminfo via si_meminfo_node(). So, it shows strange value for MemUsed which is calculated (node_present_pages - all zones free pages). Signed-off-by:

Currently the code tries up to spin_retry times to grab a lock using the cs instruction. The cs instruction has exclusive access to a memory region and therefore invalidates the appropiate cache line of all other cpus. If there is contention on a lock this leads to cache line trashing. This can be avoided if we first check wether a cs instruction is likely to succeed before the instruction gets actually executed. Signed-off-by:

Remove two early-development BUG_ONs from page_add_file_rmap. The pfn_valid test (originally useful for checking that nobody passed an artificial struct page) comes too late, since we already have the struct page. The PageAnon test (useful when anon was first distinguished from file rmap) prevents ->nopage implementations from reusing ->mapping, which would otherwise be available. Signed-off-by:

At times gcc will place bits of __exit functions into .rodata. If compiled into the kernle itself we used to discard .exit.text - but not the bits left in .rodata. While harmless this did at times result in a large number of warnings. So until gcc fixes this, discard .exit.text at runtime. Signed-off-by: -
