Objects passed to NODEMASK_ALLOC() are relatively small in size and are
backed by slab caches that are not of large order, traditionally never
greater than PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER.
Thus, using GFP_KERNEL for these allocations on large machines when
CONFIG_NODES_SHIFT > 8 will cause the page allocator to loop endlessly in
the allocation attempt, each time invoking both direct reclaim or the oom
killer.
This is of particular interest when using NODEMASK_ALLOC() from a
mempolicy context (either directly in mm/mempolicy.c or the mempolicy
constrained hugetlb allocations) since the oom killer always kills current
when allocations are constrained by mempolicies. So for all present use
cases in the kernel, current would end up being oom killed when direct
reclaim fails. That would allow the NODEMASK_ALLOC() to succeed but
current would have sacrificed itself upon returning.
This patch adds gfp flags to NODEMASK_ALLOC() to pass to kmalloc() on
CONFIG_NODES_SHIFT > 8; this parameter is a nop on other configurations.
All current use cases either directly from hugetlb code or indirectly via
NODEMASK_SCRATCH() union __GFP_NORETRY to avoid direct reclaim and the oom
killer when the slab allocator needs to allocate additional pages.
The side-effect of this change is that all current use cases of either
NODEMASK_ALLOC() or NODEMASK_SCRATCH() need appropriate -ENOMEM handling
when the allocation fails (never for CONFIG_NODES_SHIFT <= 8). All
current use cases were audited and do have appropriate error handling at
this time.

I don't know that this is absolutely required, but the registration can
sleep in allocations and other mem hot plug handlers do it this way. If
it turns out this is NOT required, we can drop this patch.

This patch derives a "nodes_allowed" node mask from the numa mempolicy of
the task modifying the number of persistent huge pages to control the
allocation, freeing and adjusting of surplus huge pages when the pool page
count is modified via the new sysctl or sysfs attribute
"nr_hugepages_mempolicy". The nodes_allowed mask is derived as follows:
* For "default" [NULL] task mempolicy, a NULL nodemask_t pointer
is produced. This will cause the hugetlb subsystem to use
node_online_map as the "nodes_allowed". This preserves the
behavior before this patch.
* For "preferred" mempolicy, including explicit local allocation,
a nodemask with the single preferred node will be produced.
"local" policy will NOT track any internode migrations of the
task adjusting nr_hugepages.
* For "bind" and "interleave" policy, the mempolicy's nodemask
will be used.
* Other than to inform the construction of the nodes_allowed node
mask, the actual mempolicy mode is ignored. That is, all modes
behave like interleave over the resulting nodes_allowed mask
with no "fallback".
See the updated documentation [next patch] for more information
about the implications of this patch.
Examples:
Starting with:
Node 0 HugePages_Total: 0
Node 1 HugePages_Total: 0
Node 2 HugePages_Total: 0
Node 3 HugePages_Total: 0
Default behavior [with or without this patch] balances persistent
hugepage allocation across nodes [with sufficient contiguous memory]:
sysctl vm.nr_hugepages[_mempolicy]=32
yields:
Node 0 HugePages_Total: 8
Node 1 HugePages_Total: 8
Node 2 HugePages_Total: 8
Node 3 HugePages_Total: 8
Of course, we only have nr_hugepages_mempolicy with the patch,
but with default mempolicy, nr_hugepages_mempolicy behaves the
same as nr_hugepages.
Applying mempolicy--e.g., with numactl [using '-m' a.k.a.
'--membind' because it allows multiple nodes to be specified
and it's easy to type]--we can allocate huge pages on
individual nodes or sets of nodes. So, starting from the
condition above, with 8 huge pages per node, add 8 more to
node 2 using:
numactl -m 2 sysctl vm.nr_hugepages_mempolicy=40
This yields:
Node 0 HugePages_Total: 8
Node 1 HugePages_Total: 8
Node 2 HugePages_Total: 16
Node 3 HugePages_Total: 8
The incremental 8 huge pages were restricted to node 2 by the
specified mempolicy.
Similarly, we can use mempolicy to free persistent huge pages
from specified nodes:
numactl -m 0,1 sysctl vm.nr_hugepages_mempolicy=32
yields:
Node 0 HugePages_Total: 4
Node 1 HugePages_Total: 4
Node 2 HugePages_Total: 16
Node 3 HugePages_Total: 8
The 8 huge pages freed were balanced over nodes 0 and 1.

In preparation for constraining huge page allocation and freeing by the
controlling task's numa mempolicy, add a "nodes_allowed" nodemask pointer
to the allocate, free and surplus adjustment functions. For now, pass
NULL to indicate default behavior--i.e., use node_online_map. A
subsqeuent patch will derive a non-default mask from the controlling
task's numa mempolicy.
Note that this method of updating the global hstate nr_hugepages under the
constraint of a nodemask simplifies keeping the global state
consistent--especially the number of persistent and surplus pages relative
to reservations and overcommit limits. There are undoubtedly other ways
to do this, but this works for both interfaces: mempolicy and per node
attributes.

This is a series of patches to provide control over the location of the
allocation and freeing of persistent huge pages on a NUMA platform.
Please consider for merging into mmotm.
This series uses two mechanisms to constrain the nodes from which
persistent huge pages are allocated: 1) the task NUMA mempolicy of the
task modifying a new sysctl "nr_hugepages_mempolicy", based on a
suggestion by Mel Gorman; and 2) a subset of the hugepages hstate sysfs
attributes have been added [in V4] to each node system device under:
/sys/devices/node/node[0-9]*/hugepages
The per node attibutes allow direct assignment of a huge page count on a
specific node, regardless of the task's mempolicy or cpuset constraints.
This patch:
NODEMASK_ALLOC(x, m) assumes x is a type of struct, which is unnecessary.
It's perfectly reasonable to use this macro to allocate a nodemask_t,
which is anonymous, either dynamically or on the stack depending on
NODES_SHIFT.

state information is currently only shown when the oom killer has selected
a task to kill.
This information is omitted, however, when the oom killer panics either
because of panic_on_oom sysctl settings or when no killable task was
found. It is still relevant to know crucial pieces of information such as

This patch displays the oom killer header whenever it panics so that bug
reports can include pertinent information to debug the issue, if possible.

A specially-crafted Hierarchical File System (HFS) filesystem could cause
a buffer overflow to occur in a process's kernel stack during a memcpy()
call within the hfs_bnode_read() function (at fs/hfs/bnode.c:24). The
attacker can provide the source buffer and length, and the destination
buffer is a local variable of a fixed length. This local variable (passed
as "&entry" from fs/hfs/dir.c:112 and allocated on line 60) is stored in
the stack frame of hfs_bnode_read()'s caller, which is hfs_readdir().
Because the hfs_readdir() function executes upon any attempt to read a
directory on the filesystem, it gets called whenever a user attempts to
inspect any filesystem contents.

USB drivers that create character devices call usb_register_dev in their
probe function. This associates the usb_interface device with that minor
number and creates the character device and announces it to the world.
However, the driver's probe function is called before the new
usb_interface is added to the driver's klist_devices.
This is a problem because userspace will respond to the character device
creation announcement by opening the character device. The driver's open
function will the call usb_find_interface to find the usb_interface
associated with that minor number. usb_find_interface will walk the
driver's list of devices and find the usb_interface with the matching
minor number.
Because the announcement happens before the usb_interface is added to the
driver's klist_devices, a race condition exists. A straightforward fix
is to walk the list of devices on usb_bus_type instead since the device
is added to that list before the announcement occurs.
bus_find_device calls get_device to bump the reference count on the found
device. It is arguable that the reference count should be dropped by the
caller of usb_find_interface instead of usb_find_interface, however,
the current users of usb_find_interface do not expect this.
The original version of this patch only matched against minor number
instead of driver and minor number. This version matches against both.

I have a Soundblaster 16PCI. For many years, alsa has had a bug where
not all of the card's controls are detected (many alsa versions,
many kernel versions). In particular, Master Playback Volume is
usually not detected, and so I get no sound or extremely faint sound.
The problem has always been inconsistent: sometimes all of the controls
are detected correctly, and sometimes a partial set is detected. It works
correctly about 10% of the time.
Finally, I got around to tracking down the problem. When the driver
fails, it prints the kernel message "AC'97 0 analog subsections not
ready". This message is generated from the function snd_ac97_mixer()
in ac97_codec.c. The message indicates that the card failed to come
back after reset within the time limit. The time limit is
120 milliseconds.
I tried increasing the time limit to 1 second, and found that this
made the driver work about 70% of the time. I tried increasing it
to 5 seconds, and it now seems to work 100% of the time.
I expect that this change would be completely harmless for
existing cards that work, and would only introduce additional
delay for cards that do not work.

Convert the old xfs tracing support that could only be used with the
out of tree kdb and xfsidbg patches to use the generic event tracer.
To use it make sure CONFIG_EVENT_TRACING is enabled and then enable
all xfs trace channels by:
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/xfs/enable
or alternatively enable single events by just doing the same in one
event subdirectory, e.g.
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/xfs/xfs_ihold/enable
or set more complex filters, etc. In Documentation/trace/events.txt
all this is desctribed in more detail. To reads the events do a
cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace
Compared to the last posting this patch converts the tracing mostly to
the one tracepoint per callsite model that other users of the new
tracing facility also employ. This allows a very fine-grained control
of the tracing, a cleaner output of the traces and also enables the
perf tool to use each tracepoint as a virtual performance counter,
allowing us to e.g. count how often certain workloads git various
spots in XFS. Take a look at
http://lwn.net/Articles/346470/
for some examples.
Also the btree tracing isn't included at all yet, as it will require
additional core tracing features not in mainline yet, I plan to
deliver it later.
And the really nice thing about this patch is that it actually removes
many lines of code while adding this nice functionality:
