The VM_FAULT_WRITE thing is an extra bit, not a valid return value, and
has to be treated as such by get_user_pages().
Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
Checking pte_dirty instead of pte_write in __follow_page is problematic
for s390, and for copy_one_pte which leaves dirty when clearing write.
So revert __follow_page to check pte_write as before, and make
do_wp_page pass back a special extra VM_FAULT_WRITE bit to say it has
done its full job: once get_user_pages receives this value, it no longer
requires pte_write in __follow_page.
But most callers of handle_mm_fault, in the various architectures, have
switch statements which do not expect this new case. To avoid changing
them all in a hurry, make an inline wrapper function (using the old
name) that masks off the new bit, and use the extended interface with
double underscores.
Yes, we do have a call to do_wp_page from do_swap_page, but no need to
change that: in rare case it's needed, another do_wp_page will follow.

For soft reset during system hang, got an error "CPU did not take
control" for some CPUs even though they responded to soft-reset (called
SystemReset, die and called debugger - xmon). First these CPUs entered
into xmon by IPI callback and then got a soft-reset exception and
re-entered into xmon again. The first CPU which re-entered into xmon got
the output lock and made into xmon successfully without unlocking.
Hence, the next CPU(s) which re-entered into xmon try to acquire a lock
(get_output_lock). Therefore, we can not view state of those CPU(s).

There is a number of x86 laptops that have some non-PCI IO ports
in the 0x1000-0x1fff range, and it's quite hard to control the correct
order of resource allocation between PCI and other subsystems controlling
these ports. Especially with modular kernel.
So just increase PCIBIOS_MIN_IO to 0x4000 to prevent any new PCI
resource allocations in the problematic range (this limitation must
apply _only_ to the root bus resources - see Linus' change in
pci_bus_alloc_resource). As PCIBIOS_MIN_IO and PCIBIOS_MIN_CARDBUS_IO
are the same now on i386 and x86-64, we can remove the latter.

The reason we have PCIBIOS_MIN_IO and PCIBIOS_MIN_CARDBUS_IO is because
we want to protect badly documented motherboard PCI resources and thus
don't want to allocate new resources in low IO/MEM space.
However, if we have already discovered a PCI bridge with a specified
resource base, that should override that decision.
This change will allow us to move the "careful" region upwards without
resulting in problems allocating resources in low mappings. This was
brought on by us having allocated a bus resource at 0x1000, conflicting
with a undocumented VAIO Sony PI resources.
CFQ will currently stall when using write barriers and the default
max_depth setting of 1, since we artificially need a depth of 2 when
pre-pending the first flush. So never deny the barrier request going to
the device.

Recent changes (well, dating from 12 July) have broken cardbus on my
powerbook: I get 3 messages saying "no resource of type xxx available,
trying to continue", and if I plug in my wireless card, it complains
that there are no resources allocated to the card. This all worked in
2.6.12.
Looking at the code in yenta_socket.c, function yenta_allocate_res,
it's obvious what is wrong: if we get to line 639 (i.e. there wasn't a
usable preassigned resource), we will always flow through to line 668,
which is the printk that I was seeing, even if a resource was
successfully allocated. It looks to me as though there should be a
return statement after the two config_writel's in each of the 3
branches of the if statements, so that the function returns after
successfully setting up the resource.
The patch below adds these return statements, and with this patch,
cardbus works on my powerbook once again.

There was a scheduling problem of the m32r SMP kernel; A process rarely
stopped and gave no responding but the other process have been handled by
the other CPU still lives, then if we did something in the other terminal
or something like that, the stopped process came back to life and continued
its operation... (ex. LMbench: lat_sig)
In the m32r SMP kernel, a local-timer event is delivered by using an
IPI(inter processor interrupts); LOCAL_TIMER_IPI. And a function
smp_send_timer() is prepared to send the LOCAL_TIMER_IPI from the current
CPU to the other CPUs.
The funtion smp_send_timer() was placed and used in do_IRQ() in
former times (before 2.6.10-rc3-mm1 kernel), however, it was

If there are devices that use interrupts over a suspend event, ACPI must
restore the PCI interrupt links on resume. Anything else breaks any
device that hasn't been converted to the new (dubious) PM rules.
Drivers that need the irq free/re-aquire sequence can be done one by one
independently of this one.
There's no real guarantee that handle_mm_fault() will always be able to
break a COW situation - if an update from another thread ends up
modifying the page table some way, handle_mm_fault() may end up
requiring us to re-try the operation.
That's normally fine, but get_user_pages() ended up re-trying it as a
read, and thus a write access could in theory end up losing the dirty
bit or be done on a page that had not been properly COW'ed.
This makes get_user_pages() always retry write accesses as write
accesses by making "follow_page()" require that a writable follow has
the dirty bit set. That simplifies the code and solves the race: if the
COW break fails for some reason, we'll just loop around and try again.

This removes sys_set_zone_reclaim() for now. While i'm sure Martin is
trying to solve a real problem, we must not hard-code an incomplete and
insufficient approach into a syscall, because syscalls are pretty much
for eternity. I am quite strongly convinced that this syscall must not
hit v2.6.13 in its current form.
Firstly, the syscall lacks basic syscall design: e.g. it allows the
global setting of VM policy for unprivileged users. (!) [ Imagine an
Oracle installation and a SAP installation on the same NUMA box fighting
over the 'optimal' setting for this flag. What will they do? Will they
try to set the flag to their own preferred value every second or so? ]
Secondly, it was added based on a single datapoint from Martin:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-mm&m=111763597218177&w=2
where Martin characterizes the numbers the following way:
' Run-to-run variability for "make -j" is huge, so these numbers aren't
terribly useful except to see that with reclaim the benchmark still
finishes in a reasonable amount of time. '
in other words: the fundamental problem has likely not been solved, only
a tendential move into the right direction has been observed, and a
handful of numbers were picked out of a set of hugely variable results,
without showing the variability data. How much variance is there
run-to-run?
I'd really suggest to first walk the walk and see what's needed to get
stable & predictable kernel compilation numbers on that NUMA box, before
adding random syscalls to tune a particular aspect of the VM ... which
approach might not even matter once the whole picture has been analyzed
and understood!
The third, most important point is that the syscall exposes VM tuning
internals in a completely unstructured way. What sense does it make to
have a _GLOBAL_ per-node setting for 'should we go to another node for
reclaim'? If then it might make sense to do this per-app, via numalib or
so.
The change is minimalistic in that it doesnt remove the syscall and the
underlying infrastructure changes, only the user-visible changes. We
could perhaps add a CAP_SYS_ADMIN-only sysctl for this hack, a'ka
/proc/sys/vm/swappiness, but even that looks quite counterproductive
when the generic approach is that we are trying to reduce the number of
external factors in the VM balance picture.
