12 years agolib/string.c: fix strim() semantics for strings that have only blanks

lib/string.c: fix strim() semantics for strings that have only blanks

Commit 84c95c9acf0 ("string: on strstrip(), first remove leading spaces
before running over str") improved\7f the performance of the strim()
function.

Unfortunately this changed the semantics of strim() and broke my code.
Before the patch it was possible to use strim() without using the return
value for removing trailing spaces from strings that had either only
blanks or only trailing blanks.

Now this does not work any longer for strings that *only* have blanks.

Before patch: "   " -> ""    (empty string)
After patch:  "   " -> "   " (no change)

I think we should remove your patch to restore the old behavior.

The description (lib/string.c):

 * Note that the first trailing whitespace is replaced with a %NUL-terminator

=> The first trailing whitespace of a string that only has whitespace
   characters is the first whitespace

The patch restores the old strim() semantics.

leds: Renesas TPU LED driver

Add V2 of the LED driver for a single timer channel for the TPU hardware
block commonly found in Renesas SoCs.

The driver has been written with optimal Power Management in mind, so to
save power the LED is driven as a regular GPIO pin in case of maximum
brightness and power off which allows the TPU hardware to be idle and
which in turn allows the clocks to be stopped and the power domain to be
turned off transparently.

Any other brightness level requires use of the TPU hardware in PWM mode.
TPU hardware device clocks and power are managed through Runtime PM.
System suspend and resume is known to be working - during suspend the LED
is set to off by the generic LED code.

The TPU hardware timer is equipeed with a 16-bit counter together with an
up-to-divide-by-64 prescaler which makes the hardware suitable for
brightness control.  Hardware blink is unsupported.

The LED PWM waveform has been verified with a Fluke 123 Scope meter on a
sh7372 Mackerel board.  Tested with experimental sh7372 A3SP power domain
patches.  Platform device bind/unbind tested ok.

V2 has been tested on the DS2 LED of the sh73a0-based AG5EVM.

12 years agobacklight: fix broken regulator API usage in l4f00242t03

backlight: fix broken regulator API usage in l4f00242t03

The regulator support in the l4f00242t03 is very non-idiomatic.  Rather
than requesting the regulators based on the device name and the supply
names used by the device the driver requires boards to pass system
specific supply names around through platform data.  The driver also
conditionally requests the regulators based on this platform data, adding
unneeded conditional code to the driver.

Fix this by removing the platform data and converting to the standard
idiom, also updating all in tree users of the driver.  As no datasheet
appears to be available for the LCD I'm guessing the names for the
supplies based on the existing users and I've no ability to do anything
more than compile test.

The use of regulator_set_voltage() in the driver is also problematic,
since fixed voltages are required the expectation would be that the
voltages would be fixed in the constraints set by the machines rather than
manually configured by the driver, but is less problematic.

>From my POV, it looks like the hardware is not working as expected
and returns a bogus data rate. The driver doesn't check the result
and directly uses it as some sort of divisor in some places:

msleep(lis3->pwron_delay / lis3lv02d_get_odr());

Under this circumstances, this could very well cause the
"divide by zero" exception from above.

For now, I fixed it the easiest and most obvious way:
Check if the result is sane and if it isn't use a sane default
instead. I went for "100" in the latter case, simply because
/sys/devices/platform/lis3lv02d/rate returns it on a successful
boot.

fs/pipe.c: add ->statfs callback for pipefs

Currently a statfs on a pipe's /proc/<pid>/fd/ link returns -ENOSYS.  Wire
pipfs up so that the statfs succeeds.

This is required by checkpoint-restart in the userspace to make it
possible to distinguish pipes from fifos.

When we dump information about task's open files we use the /proc/pid/fd
directoy's symlinks and the fact that opening any of them gives us exactly
the same dentry->inode pair as the original process has.  Now if a task
we're dumping has opened pipe and fifo we need to detect this and act
accordingly.  Knowing that an fd with type S_ISFIFO resides on a pipefs is
the most precise way.

12 years agomm: munlock use mapcount to avoid terrible overhead

mm: munlock use mapcount to avoid terrible overhead

A process spent 30 minutes exiting, just munlocking the pages of a large
anonymous area that had been alternately mprotected into page-sized vmas:
for every single page there's an anon_vma walk through all the other
little vmas to find the right one.

A general fix to that would be a lot more complicated (use prio_tree on
anon_vma?), but there's one very simple thing we can do to speed up the
common case: if a page to be munlocked is mapped only once, then it is our
vma that it is mapped into, and there's no need whatever to walk through
all the others.

Okay, there is a very remote race in munlock_vma_pages_range(), if between
its follow_page() and lock_page(), another process were to munlock the
same page, then page reclaim remove it from our vma, then another process
mlock it again.  We would find it with page_mapcount 1, yet it's still
mlocked in another process.  But never mind, that's much less likely than
the down_read_trylock() failure which munlocking already tolerates (in
try_to_unmap_one()): in due course page reclaim will discover and move the
page to unevictable instead.

vmscan: limit direct reclaim for higher order allocations

When suffering from memory fragmentation due to unfreeable pages, THP page
faults will repeatedly try to compact memory.  Due to the unfreeable
pages, compaction fails.

Needless to say, at that point page reclaim also fails to create free
contiguous 2MB areas.  However, that doesn't stop the current code from
trying, over and over again, and freeing a minimum of 4MB (2UL <<
sc->order pages) at every single invocation.

This resulted in my 12GB system having 2-3GB free memory, a corresponding
amount of used swap and very sluggish response times.

This can be avoided by having the direct reclaim code not reclaim from
zones that already have plenty of free memory available for compaction.

If compaction still fails due to unmovable memory, doing additional
reclaim will only hurt the system, not help.

vmscan: add barrier to prevent evictable page in unevictable list

When a race between putback_lru_page() and shmem_lock with lock=0 happens,
progrom execution order is as follows, but clear_bit in processor #1 could
be reordered right before spin_unlock of processor #1.  Then, the page
would be stranded on the unevictable list.

spin_lock
SetPageLRU
spin_unlock
                                clear_bit(AS_UNEVICTABLE)
                                spin_lock
                                if PageLRU()

smp_mb
if !test_bit(AS_UNEVICTABLE)
        move evictable list
                                spin_unlock

But, pagevec_lookup() in scan_mapping_unevictable_pages() has
rcu_read_[un]lock() so it could protect reordering before reaching
test_bit(AS_UNEVICTABLE) on processor #1 so this problem never happens.
But it's a unexpected side effect and we should solve this problem
properly.

This patch adds a barrier after mapping_clear_unevictable.

I didn't meet this problem but just found during review.

available swap space anyway, so there is no point in moving them to a
separate list anymore.

The manual rescue could also be used in case pages were stranded on the
unevictable list due to race conditions.  But the code has been around for
a while now and newly discovered bugs should be properly reported and
dealt with instead of relying on such a manual fixup.

In addition to the lack of a usecase, the sysfs interface to rescue pages
from a specific NUMA node has been broken since its introduction, so it's
unlikely that anybody ever relied on that.

This patch removes the functionality behind the sysctl and the
node-interface and emits a one-time warning when somebody tries to access
either of them.

vmscan.c: fix invalid strict_strtoul() check in write_scan_unevictable_node()

write_scan_unevictable_node() checks the value req returned by
strict_strtoul() and returns 1 if req is 0.

However, when strict_strtoul() returns 0, it means successful conversion
of buf to unsigned long.

Due to this, the function was not proceeding to scan the zones for
unevictable pages even though we write a valid value to the
scan_unevictable_pages sys file.

Change this check slightly to check for invalid value in buf as well as 0
value stored in res after successful conversion via strict_strtoul.  In
both cases, we do not perform the scanning of this node's zones.

There 2 places to read pgdat in kswapd.  One is return from a successful
balance, another is waked up from kswapd sleeping.  The new_order and
new_classzone_idx represent the balance input order and classzone_idx.

But current new_order and new_classzone_idx are not assigned after

1: after a successful balance, kswapd goes to sleep, and new_order = 0;
   new_classzone_idx = __MAX_NR_ZONES - 1;

2: kswapd waked up with order = 3 and classzone_idx = ZONE_NORMAL

3: in the balance_pgdat() running, a new balance wakeup happened with
   order = 5, and classzone_idx = ZONE_NORMAL

4: the first wakeup(order = 3) finished successufly, return order = 3
   but, the new_order is still 0, so, this balancing will be treated as a
   failed balance.  And then the second tighter balancing will be missed.

So, to avoid the above problem, the new_order and new_classzone_idx need
to be assigned for later successful comparison.

mremap: avoid sending one IPI per page

This replaces ptep_clear_flush() with ptep_get_and_clear() and a single
flush_tlb_range() at the end of the loop, to avoid sending one IPI for
each page.

The mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start/end section is enlarged
accordingly but this is not going to fundamentally change things.  It was
more by accident that the region under mremap was for the most part still
available for secondary MMUs: the primary MMU was never allowed to
reliably access that region for the duration of the mremap (modulo
trapping SIGSEGV on the old address range which sounds unpractical and
flakey).  If users wants secondary MMUs not to lose access to a large
region under mremap they should reduce the mremap size accordingly in
userland and run multiple calls.  Overall this will run faster so it's
actually going to reduce the time the region is under mremap for the
primary MMU which should provide a net benefit to apps.

For KVM this is a noop because the guest physical memory is never
mremapped, there's just no point it ever moving it while guest runs.  One
target of this optimization is JVM GC (so unrelated to the mmu notifier
logic).

12 years agomm: avoid null pointer access in vm_struct via /proc/vmallocinfo

mm: avoid null pointer access in vm_struct via /proc/vmallocinfo

The /proc/vmallocinfo shows information about vmalloc allocations in
vmlist that is a linklist of vm_struct.  It, however, may access pages
field of vm_struct where a page was not allocated.  This results in a null
pointer access and leads to a kernel panic.

Why this happens: In __vmalloc_node_range() called from vmalloc(), newly
allocated vm_struct is added to vmlist at __get_vm_area_node() and then,
some fields of vm_struct such as nr_pages and pages are set at
__vmalloc_area_node().  In other words, it is added to vmlist before it is
fully initialized.  At the same time, when the /proc/vmallocinfo is read,
it accesses the pages field of vm_struct according to the nr_pages field
at show_numa_info().  Thus, a null pointer access happens.

The patch adds the newly allocated vm_struct to the vmlist *after* it is
fully initialized.  So, it can avoid accessing the pages field with
unallocated page when show_numa_info() is called.

12 years agomm: vmscan: throttle reclaim if encountering too many dirty pages under writeback
Mel Gorman [Tue, 1 Nov 2011 00:07:56 +0000 (17:07 -0700)]
mm: vmscan: throttle reclaim if encountering too many dirty pages under writeback

Workloads that are allocating frequently and writing files place a large
number of dirty pages on the LRU.  With use-once logic, it is possible for
them to reach the end of the LRU quickly requiring the reclaimer to scan
more to find clean pages.  Ordinarily, processes that are dirtying memory
will get throttled by dirty balancing but this is a global heuristic and
does not take into account that LRUs are maintained on a per-zone basis.
This can lead to a situation whereby reclaim is scanning heavily, skipping
over a large number of pages under writeback and recycling them around the
LRU consuming CPU.

This patch checks how many of the number of pages isolated from the LRU
were dirty and under writeback.  If a percentage of them under writeback,
the process will be throttled if a backing device or the zone is
congested.  Note that this applies whether it is anonymous or file-backed
pages that are under writeback meaning that swapping is potentially
throttled.  This is intentional due to the fact if the swap device is
congested, scanning more pages and dispatching more IO is not going to
help matters.

The percentage that must be in writeback depends on the priority.  At
default priority, all of them must be dirty.  At DEF_PRIORITY-1, 50% of
them must be, DEF_PRIORITY-2, 25% etc.  i.e.  as pressure increases the
greater the likelihood the process will get throttled to allow the flusher
threads to make some progress.
