This patch allows SELinux to canonicalize the value returned from getxattr() via the security_inode_getsecurity() hook, which is called after the fs level getxattr() function. The purpose of this is to allow the in-core security context for an inode to override the on-disk value. This could happen in cases such as upgrading a system to a different labeling form (e.g. standard SELinux to MLS) without needing to do a full relabel of the filesystem. In such cases, we want getxattr() to return the canonical security context that the kernel is using rather than what is stored on disk. The implementation hooks into the inode_getsecurity(), adding another parameter to indicate the result of the preceding fs-level getxattr() call, so that SELinux knows whether to compare a value obtained from disk with the kernel value. We also now allow getxattr() to work for mountpoint labeled filesystems (i.e. mount with option context=foo_t), as we are able to return the kernel ...

ata_pci_init_one() receives an array of struct ata_port_info. Recent updates to the code had always obtained port information from array element 0, rather than array element N. Change to avoid hardcoding port_info[0], thereby restoring proper hardware information to secondary legacy ports.

The second argument to ata_qc_complete() was being used for two purposes: communicate the ATA Status register to the completion function, and indicate an error. On legacy PCI IDE hardware, the latter is often implicit in the former. On more modern hardware, the driver often completely emulated a Status register value, passing ATA_ERR as an indication that something went wrong. Now that previous code changes have eliminated the need to use drv_stat arg to communicate the ATA Status register value, we can convert it to a mask of possible error classes. This will lead to more flexible error handling in the future.

In 'mm' change the explicit use of a for-loop using NR_CPUS into the general for_each_cpu() constructs. This widens the scope of potential future optimizations of the general constructs, as well as takes advantage of the existing optimizations of first_cpu() and next_cpu(), which is advantageous when the true CPU count is much smaller than NR_CPUS.

Policy contextualization is only useful for task based policies and not for vma based policies. It may be useful to define allowed nodes that are not accessible from this thread because other threads may have access to these nodes. Without this patch strange memory policy situations may cause an application to fail with out of memory. Example: Let's say we have two threads A and B that share the same address space and a huge array computational array X. Thread A is restricted by its cpuset to nodes 0 and 1 and thread B is restricted by its cpuset to nodes 2 and 3. Thread A now wants to restrict allocations to the first node and thus applies a BIND policy on X to node 0 and 2. The cpuset limits this to node 0. Thus pages for X must be allocated on node 0 now. Thread B now touches a page that has never been used in X and faults in a page. According to the BIND policy of the vma for X the page must be allocated on page 0. However, the cpuset of B does not allow allocation on 0 and 1. Now the application fails in alloc_pages with out of memory. Signed-off-by:

- Do a separation between do_xxx and sys_xxx functions. sys_xxx functions take variable sized bitmaps from user space as arguments. do_xxx functions take fixed sized nodemask_t as arguments and may be used from inside the kernel. Doing so simplifies the initialization code. There is no fs = kernel_ds assumption anymore. - Split up get_nodes into get_nodes (which gets the node list) and contextualize_policy which restricts the nodes to those accessible to the task and updates cpusets. - Add comments explaining limitations of bind policy Signed-off-by:

This basically keeps up from having to extern __kmalloc_section_memmap(). The vaddr_in_vmalloc_area() helper could go in a vmalloc header, but that header gets hard to work with, because it needs some arch-specific macros. Just stick it in here for now, instead of creating another header. Signed-off-by:

This adds generic memory add/remove and supporting functions for memory hotplug into a new file as well as a memory hotplug kernel config option. Individual architecture patches will follow. For now, disable memory hotplug when swsusp is enabled. There's a lot of churn there right now. We'll fix it up properly once it calms down. Signed-off-by:

Dave Hansen authored
pgdat->node_size_lock is basically only neeeded in one place in the normal code: show_mem(), which is the arch-specific sysrq-m printing function. Strictly speaking, the architectures not doing memory hotplug do no need this locking in show_mem(). However, they are all included for completeness. This should also make any future consolidation of all of the implementations a little more straightforward. This lock is also held in the sparsemem code during a memory removal, as sections are invalidated. This is the place there pfn_valid() is made false for a memory area that's being removed. The lock is only required when doing pfn_valid() operations on memory which the user does not already have a reference on the page, such as in show_mem(). Signed-off-by:

When doing memory hotplug operations, the size of existing zones can obviously change. This means that zone->zone_{start_pfn,spanned_pages} can change. There are currently no locks that protect these structure members. However, they are rarely accessed at runtime. Outside of swsusp, the only place that I can find is bad_range(). So, split bad_range() up into two pieces: one that needs to be locked and anther that doesn't. Signed-off-by: -

If a zone is empty at boot-time and then hot-added to later, it needs to run the same init code that would have been run on it at boot. This patch breaks out zone table and per-cpu-pages functions for use by the hotplug code. You can almost see all of the free_area_init_core() function on one page now. :) Signed-off-by:

We had a problem on ppc64 where with more than 4 threads a large system wouldn't scale well while faulting in the .text (most of the time was spent in the kernel despite it was an userland compute intensive app). The reason is the useless overwrite of the same pte from all cpu. I fixed it this way (verified on an older kernel but the forward port is almost identical). This will benefit all archs not just ppc64. Signed-off-by:

Basic overcommit checking for hugetlb_file_map() based on an implementation used with demand faulting in SLES9. Since demand faulting can't guarantee the availability of pages at mmap time, this patch implements a basic sanity check to ensure that the number of huge pages required to satisfy the mmap are currently available. Despite the obvious race, I think it is a good start on doing proper accounting. I'd like to work towards an accounting system that mimics the semantics of normal pages (especially for the MAP_PRIVATE/COW case). That work is underway and builds on what this patch starts. Huge page shared memory segments are simpler and still maintain their commit on shmget semantics. Signed-off-by:

Below is a patch to implement demand faulting for huge pages. The main motivation for changing from prefaulting to demand faulting is so that huge page memory areas can be allocated according to NUMA policy. Thanks to consolidated hugetlb code, switching the behavior requires changing only one fault handler. The bulk of the patch just moves the logic from hugelb_prefault() to hugetlb_pte_fault() and find_get_huge_page(). Signed-off-by:

A couple of oddities were guarded by page_table_lock, no longer properly guarded when that is split. The mm_counters of file_rss and anon_rss: make those an atomic_t, or an atomic64_t if the architecture supports it, in such a case. Definitions by courtesy of Christoph Lameter: who spent considerable effort on more scalable ways of counting, but found insufficient benefit in practice. And adding an mm with swap to the mmlist for swapoff: the list is well- guarded by its own lock, but the list_empty check now has to be repeated inside it. Signed-off-by:
