The case we should be verifying when updating the dentry name is that the _parent_ inode (the directory) semaphore is held, not the semaphore for the dentry itself. It's the directory locking that rename and readdir() etc all care about. The comment just above even says so - but then the BUG_ON() still checked the dentry inode itself. Very few people noticed, because this helper function really isn't used for very much, so you had to be using ncpfs to ever hit it. I think I should just remove the BUG_ON (the function really has just one user), but let's run with it fixed for a while before getting rid of it entirely. Reported-and-tested-by:

For the explicit unplugging, we'd prefer to kick things off immediately and not pay the penalty of the latency to switch to kblockd. So let blk_finish_plug() do the run inline, while the implicit-on-schedule-out unplug will punt to kblockd. Signed-off-by:Jens Axboe <jaxboe@fusionio.com>

It's a bit of a mess currently. task->plug is being cleared and reset in __blk_finish_plug(), and blk_finish_plug() is testing for a NULL plug which cannot happen even from schedule() anymore since it uses blk_needs_flush_plug() to determine whether to call into this function at all. So get rid of some of the cruft. Signed-off-by: -

The conventional format for boolean attributes in sysfs is numeric ("0" or "1" followed by new-line). Any boolean attribute can then be read and written using a generic function. Using the strings "yes [no]", "[yes] no" (read), "yes" and "no" (write) will frustrate this.

This is an almost-revert of commit 93b43fa5 ("oom: give the dying task a higher priority"). That commit dramatically improved oom killer logic when a fork-bomb occurs. But I've found that it has nasty corner case. Now cpu cgroup has strange default RT runtime. It's 0! That said, if a process under cpu cgroup promote RT scheduling class, the process never run at all. If an admin inserts a !RT process into a cpu cgroup by setting rtruntime=0, usually it runs perfectly because a !RT task isn't affected by the rtruntime knob. But if it promotes an RT task via an explicit setscheduler() syscall or an OOM, the task can't run at all. In short, the oom killer doesn't work at all if admins are using cpu cgroup and don't touch the rtruntime knob. Eventually, kernel may hang up when oom kill occur. I and the original author Luis agreed to disable this logic. Signed-off-by:

all_unreclaimable check in direct reclaim has been introduced at 2.6.19 by following commit. 2006 Sep 25; commit 408d8544; oom: use unreclaimable info And it went through strange history. firstly, following commit broke the logic unintentionally. 2008 Apr 29; commit a41f24ea; page allocator: smarter retry of costly-order allocations Two years later, I've found obvious meaningless code fragment and restored original intention by following commit. 2010 Jun 04; commit bb21c7ce; vmscan: fix do_try_to_free_pages() return value when priority==0 But, the logic didn't works when 32bit highmem system goes hibernation and Minchan slightly changed the algorithm and fixed it . 2010 Sep 22: commit d1908362: vmscan: check all_unreclaimable in direct reclaim path But, recently, Andrey Vagin found the new corner case. Look, struct zone { .. int all_unreclaimable; .. unsigned long pages_scanned; .. } zone->all_unreclaimable and zone->pages_scanned are neigher atomic variables nor protected by lock. Therefore zones can become a state of zone->page_scanned=0 and zone->all_unreclaimable=1. In this case, current all_unreclaimable() return false even though zone->all_unreclaimabe=1. This resulted in the kernel hanging up when executing a loop of the form 1. fork 2. mmap 3. touch memory 4. read memory 5. munmmap as described in http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/linux/kernel/1348725#1348725 Is this ignorable minor issue? No. Unfortunately, x86 has very small dma zone and it become zone->all_unreclamble=1 easily. and if it become all_unreclaimable=1, it never restore all_unreclaimable=0. Why? if all_unreclaimable=1, vmscan only try DEF_PRIORITY reclaim and a-few-lru-pages>>DEF_PRIORITY always makes 0. that mean no page scan at all! Eventually, oom-killer never works on such systems. That said, we can't use zone->pages_scanned for this purpose. This patch restore all_unreclaimable() use zone->all_unreclaimable as old. and in addition, to add oom_killer_disabled check to avoid reintroduce the issue of commit d1908362 ("vmscan: check all_unreclaimable in direct reclaim path").

In __access_remote_vm() we need to check that we have found the right vma, not the following vma before we try to access it. Otherwise we might call the vma's access routine with an address which does not fall inside the vma. It was discovered on a current kernel but with an unreleased driver, from memory it was strace leading to a kernel bad access, but it obviously depends on what the access implementation does. Looking at other access implementations I only see: $ git grep -A 5 vm_operations|grep access arch/powerpc/platforms/cell/spufs/file.c- .access = spufs_mem_mmap_access, arch/x86/pci/i386.c- .access = generic_access_phys, drivers/char/mem.c- .access = generic_access_phys fs/sysfs/bin.c- .access = bin_access, The spufs one looks like it might behave badly given the wrong vma, it assumes vma->vm_file->private_data is a spu_context, and looks like it would probably blow up pretty quickly if it wasn't. generic_access_phys() only uses the vma to check vm_flags and get the mm, and then walks page tables using the address. So it should bail on the vm_flags check, or at worst let you access some other VM_IO mapping. And bin_access() just proxies to another access implementation. Signed-off-by:

5520e894 ("brk: fix min_brk lower bound computation for COMPAT_BRK") tried to get the whole logic of brk randomization for legacy (libc5-based) applications finally right. It turns out that the way to detect whether brk has actually been randomized in the end or not introduced by that patch still doesn't work for those binaries, as reported by Geert: : /sbin/init from my old m68k ramdisk exists prematurely. : : Before the patch: : : | brk(0x80005c8e) = 0x80006000 : : After the patch: : : | brk(0x80005c8e) = 0x80005c8e : : Old libc5 considers brk() to have failed if the return value is not : identical to the requested value.

The memory hotplug case involves calling to build_all_zonelists() which in turns calls in to setup_zone_pageset(). The latter is marked __meminit while build_all_zonelists() itself has no particular annotation. build_all_zonelists() is only handed a non-NULL pointer in the case of memory hotplug through an existing __meminit path, so the setup_zone_pageset() reference is always safe. The options as such are either to flag build_all_zonelists() as __ref (as per __build_all_zonelists()), or to simply discard the __meminit annotation from setup_zone_pageset(). Signed-off-by:
