When vmscan.c calls page_referenced(), if an anon page was created
before a process forked, rmap will search for it in both of the
processes, even though one of them might have since broken COW.
If the child process mlocks the vma where the COWed page belongs to,
page_referenced() running on the page mapped by the parent would lead to
*vm_flags getting VM_LOCKED set erroneously (leading to the references
on the parent page being ignored and evicting the parent page too
early).
*mapcount would also be decremented by page_referenced_one even if the
page wasn't found by page_check_address.
This also lets pmdp_clear_flush_young_notify() go ahead on a
pmd_trans_splitting() pmd.
We hold the page_table_lock so __split_huge_page_map() must wait the
pmdp_clear_flush_young_notify() to complete before it can modify the
pmd. The pmd is also still mapped in userland so the young bit may
materialize through a tlb miss before split_huge_page_map runs.
This will provide a more accurate page_referenced() behavior during
split_huge_page().

We've been getting reports of complete system lockups with rv3xx hw on
AGP and PCIE when running gnome-shell or kwin with compositing.
It appears the hw really doesn't like setting these registers while
stuff is running, this moves the setting of the registers into the modeset
since they aren't required to be changed anywhere else.

Josef had changed shrink_delalloc to exit after three shrink
attempts, which wasn't quite enough because new writers could
race in and steal free space.
But it also fixed deadlocks and stalls as we tried to recover
delalloc reservations. The code was tweaked to loop 1024
times, and would reset the counter any time a small amount
of progress was made. This was too drastic, and with a
lot of writers we can end up stuck in shrink_delalloc forever.
The shrink_delalloc loop is fairly complex because the caller is looping
too, and the caller will go ahead and force a transaction commit to make
sure we reclaim space.
This reworks things to exit shrink_delalloc when we've forced some
writeback and the delalloc reservations have gone down. This means
the writeback has not just started but has also finished at
least some of the metadata changes required to reclaim delalloc
space.
If we've got this wrong, we're returning ENOSPC too early, which
is a big improvement over the current behavior of hanging the machine.
Test 224 in xfstests hammers on this nicely, and with 1000 writers
trying to fill a 1GB drive we get our first ENOSPC at 93% full. The
other writers are able to continue until we get 100%.
This is a worst case test for btrfs because the 1000 writers are doing
small IO, and the small FS size means we don't have a lot of room
for metadata chunks.

There have been a number of recent reports that NFSROOT is no longer
working with default mount options, but fails only with certain NICs.
Brian Downing <[email protected]> bisected to commit 56463e50 "NFS:
Use super.c for NFSROOT mount option parsing". Among other things,
this commit changes the default mount options for NFSROOT to use TCP
instead of UDP as the underlying transport.
TCP seems less able to deal with NICs that are slow to initialize.
The system logs that have accompanied reports of problems all show
that NFSROOT attempts to establish a TCP connection before the NIC is
fully initialized, and thus the TCP connection attempt fails.
When a TCP connection attempt fails during a mount operation, the
NFS stack needs to fail the operation. Usually user space knows how
and when to retry it. The network layer does not report a distinct
error code for this particular failure mode. Thus, there isn't a
clean way for the RPC client to see that it needs to retry in this
case, but not in others.
Because NFSROOT is used in some environments where it is not possible
to update the kernel command line to specify "udp", the proper thing
to do is change NFSROOT to use UDP by default, as it did before commit
56463e50.
To make it easier to see how to change default mount options for
NFSROOT and to distinguish default settings from mandatory settings,
I've adjusted a couple of areas to document the specifics.
root_nfs_cat() is also modified to deal with commas properly when
concatenating strings containing mount option lists. This keeps
root_nfs_cat() call sites simpler, now that we may be concatenating
multiple mount option strings.

nfs4_schedule_state_recovery() should only be used when we need to force
the state manager to check the lease. If we just want to start the
state manager in order to handle a state recovery situation, we should be
using nfs4_schedule_state_manager().
This patch fixes the abuses of nfs4_schedule_state_recovery() by replacing
its use with a set of helper functions that do the right thing.

BZ29402
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29402
We can hit serious mis-synchronization in bio completion path of
blkdev_issue_zeroout() leading to a panic.
The problem is that when we are going to wait_for_completion() in
blkdev_issue_zeroout() we check if the bb.done equals issued (number of
submitted bios). If it does, we can skip the wait_for_completition()
and just out of the function since there is nothing to wait for.
However, there is a ordering problem because bio_batch_end_io() is
calling atomic_inc(&bb->done) before complete(), hence it might seem to
blkdev_issue_zeroout() that all bios has been completed and exit. At
this point when bio_batch_end_io() is going to call complete(bb->wait),
bb and wait does not longer exist since it was allocated on stack in
blkdev_issue_zeroout() ==> panic!
(thread 1) (thread 2)
bio_batch_end_io() blkdev_issue_zeroout()
if(bb) { ...
if (bb->end_io) ...
bb->end_io(bio, err); ...
atomic_inc(&bb->done); ...
... while (issued != atomic_read(&bb.done))
... (let issued == bb.done)
... (do the rest of the function)
... return ret;
complete(bb->wait);
^^^^^^^^
panic
We can fix this easily by simplifying bio_batch and completion counting.
Also remove bio_end_io_t *end_io since it is not used.

In the commit 08968041bef437ec363623cd3218c2b083537ada
(mtd: cfi_cmdset_0002: make sector erase command variable)
introdused a field sector_erase_cmd. In the same commit initialisation
of cfi->sector_erase_cmd made in cfi_chip_setup()
(file drivers/mtd/chips/cfi_probe.c), so the CFI chip has no problem:
...
cfi->cfi_mode = CFI_MODE_CFI;
cfi->sector_erase_cmd = CMD(0x30);
...
But for the JEDEC chips this initialisation is not carried out,
so the JEDEC chips have sector_erase_cmd == 0.
This patch adds the missing initialisation.

I've been adding in more artificial delays in the NFSv4 commit and close
codepaths to uncover races. The kernel I'm testing has the patch to
close the race in __rpc_wait_for_completion_task that's in Trond's
cthon2011 branch. The reproducer I've been using does this in a loop:
mkdir("DIR");
fd = open("DIR/FILE", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_EXCL, 0644);
write(fd, "abcdefg", 7);
close(fd);
unlink("DIR/FILE");
rmdir("DIR");
The above reproducer shouldn't result in any silly-renaming. However,
when I add a "msleep(100)" just after the nfs_commit_clear_lock call in
nfs_commit_release, I can almost always force one to occur. If I can
force it to occur with that, then it can happen without that delay
given the right timing.
nfs_commit_inode waits for the NFS_INO_COMMIT bit to clear when called
with FLUSH_SYNC set. nfs_commit_rpcsetup on the other hand does not wait
for the task to complete before putting its reference to it, so the last
reference get put in rpc_release task and gets queued to a workqueue.
In this situation, the last open context reference may be put by the
COMMIT release instead of the close() syscall. The close() syscall
returns too quickly and the unlink runs while the d_count is still
high since the COMMIT release hasn't put its dentry reference yet.
Fix this by having rpc_commit_rpcsetup wait for the RPC call to complete
before putting the task reference when FLUSH_SYNC is set. With this, the
last reference is put by the process that's initiating the FLUSH_SYNC
commit and the race is closed.

Although they run as rpciod background tasks, under normal operation
(i.e. no SIGKILL), functions like nfs_sillyrename(), nfs4_proc_unlck()
and nfs4_do_close() want to be fully synchronous. This means that when we
exit, we want all references to the rpc_task to be gone, and we want
any dentry references etc. held by that task to be released.
For this reason these functions call __rpc_wait_for_completion_task(),
followed by rpc_put_task() in the expectation that the latter will be
releasing the last reference to the rpc_task, and thus ensuring that the
callback_ops->rpc_release() has been called synchronously.
This patch fixes a race which exists due to the fact that
rpciod calls rpc_complete_task() (in order to wake up the callers of
__rpc_wait_for_completion_task()) and then subsequently calls
rpc_put_task() without ensuring that these two steps are done atomically.
In order to avoid adding new spin locks, the patch uses the existing
waitqueue spin lock to order the rpc_task reference count releases between
the waiting process and rpciod.
The common case where nobody is waiting for completion is optimised for by
checking if the RPC_TASK_ASYNC flag is cleared and/or if the rpc_task
reference count is 1: in those cases we drop trying to grab the spin lock,
and immediately free up the rpc_task.
Those few processes that need to put the rpc_task from inside an
asynchronous context and that do not care about ordering are given a new
helper: rpc_put_task_async().
