md currently uses ->media_changed to make sure rescan_partitions
is call on md array after they are assembled.
However that doesn't happen until the array is opened, which is later
than some people would like.
So use blkdev_ioctl to do the rescan immediately that the
array has been assembled.
This means we can remove all the ->change infrastructure as it was only used
to trigger a partition rescan.

"reshape_position" records how much progress has been made on a "reshape"
(adding drives, changing layout or chunksize).
When it is set, the number of drives, layout and chunksize can have
two possible values, an old an a new.
So allow these different values to be visible, and allow both old and new to
be set: Set the old ones first, then the reshape_position, then the new
values.

If CONFIG_NET is not selected, csum_partial is not exported, so md.ko cannot
use it. We shouldn't really be using csum_partial anyway as it is an

So replace it with C code to do the same thing. Speed is not crucial here, so
something simple and correct is best.

__used is defined to be __attribute__((unused)) for all pre-3.3 gcc
compilers to suppress warnings for unused functions because perhaps they
are referenced only in inline assembly. It is defined to be
__attribute__((used)) for gcc 3.3 and later so that the code is still
emitted for such functions.
__maybe_unused is defined to be __attribute__((unused)) for both function
and variable use if it could possibly be unreferenced due to the evaluation
of preprocessor macros. Function prototypes shall be marked with
__maybe_unused if the actual definition of the function is dependant on
preprocessor macros.
No update to compiler-intel.h is necessary because ICC supports both
__attribute__((used)) and __attribute__((unused)) as specified by the gcc
manual.
__attribute_used__ is deprecated and will be removed once all current
code is converted to using __used.

This finally renames the thread_info field in task structure to stack, so that
the assumptions about this field are gone and archs have more freedom about
placing the thread_info structure.
Nonbroken archs which have a proper thread pointer can do the access to both
current thread and task structure via a single pointer.
It'll allow for a few more cleanups of the fork code, from which e.g. ia64
could benefit.

We need to make sure that the clocksources are resumed, when timekeeping is
resumed. The current resume logic does not guarantee this.
Add a resume function pointer to the clocksource struct, so clocksource
drivers which need to reinitialize the clocksource can provide a resume
function.
Add a resume function, which calls the maybe available clocksource resume
functions and resets the watchdog function, so a stable TSC can be used
accross suspend/resume.

Currently the slab allocators contain callbacks into the page allocator to
perform the draining of pagesets on remote nodes. This requires SLUB to have
a whole subsystem in order to be compatible with SLAB. Moving node draining
out of the slab allocators avoids a section of code in SLUB.
Move the node draining so that is is done when the vm statistics are updated.
At that point we are already touching all the cachelines with the pagesets of
a processor.
Add a expire counter there. If we have to update per zone or global vm
statistics then assume that the pageset will require subsequent draining.
The expire counter will be decremented on each vm stats update pass until it
reaches zero. Then we will drain one batch from the pageset. The draining
will cause vm counter updates which will then cause another expiration until
the pcp is empty. So we will drain a batch every 3 seconds.
Note that remote node draining is a somewhat esoteric feature that is required
on large NUMA systems because otherwise significant portions of system memory
can become trapped in pcp queues. The number of pcp is determined by the
number of processors and nodes in a system. A system with 4 processors and 2
nodes has 8 pcps which is okay. But a system with 1024 processors and 512
nodes has 512k pcps with a high potential for large amount of memory being
caught in them.

vmstat is currently using the cache reaper to periodically bring the
statistics up to date. The cache reaper does only exists in SLUB as a way to
provide compatibility with SLAB. This patch removes the vmstat calls from the
slab allocators and provides its own handling.
The advantage is also that we can use a different frequency for the updates.
Refreshing vm stats is a pretty fast job so we can run this every second and
stagger this by only one tick. This will lead to some overlap in large
systems. F.e a system running at 250 HZ with 1024 processors will have 4 vm
updates occurring at once.
However, the vm stats update only accesses per node information. It is only
necessary to stagger the vm statistics updates per processor in each node. Vm
counter updates occurring on distant nodes will not cause cacheline
contention.
We could implement an alternate approach that runs the first processor on each
node at the second and then each of the other processor on a node on a
subsequent tick. That may be useful to keep a large amount of the second free
of timer activity. Maybe the timer folks will have some feedback on this one?

Since nonboot CPUs are now disabled after tasks and devices have been
frozen and the CPU hotplug infrastructure is used for this purpose, we need
special CPU hotplug notifications that will help the CPU-hotplug-aware
subsystems distinguish normal CPU hotplug events from CPU hotplug events
related to a system-wide suspend or resume operation in progress. This
patch introduces such notifications and causes them to be used during
suspend and resume transitions. It also changes all of the
CPU-hotplug-aware subsystems to take these notifications into consideration
(for now they are handled in the same way as the corresponding "normal"
ones).

It's very common for file systems to need to zero part or all of a page,
the simplist way is just to use kmap_atomic() and memset(). There's
actually a library function in include/linux/highmem.h that does exactly
that, but it's confusingly named memclear_highpage_flush(), which is
descriptive of *how* it does the work rather than what the *purpose* is.
So this patchset renames the function to zero_user_page(), and calls it
from the various places that currently open code it.
This first patch introduces the new function call, and converts all the
core kernel callsites, both the open-coded ones and the old
memclear_highpage_flush() ones. Following this patch is a series of
conversions for each file system individually, per AKPM, and finally a
patch deprecating the old call. The diffstat below shows the entire
patchset.

Analysis of current linux futex code :
--------------------------------------
A central hash table futex_queues[] holds all contexts (futex_q) of waiting
threads.
Each futex_wait()/futex_wait() has to obtain a spinlock on a hash slot to
perform lookups or insert/deletion of a futex_q.
When a futex_wait() is done, calling thread has to :
1) - Obtain a read lock on mmap_sem to be able to validate the user pointer
(calling find_vma()). This validation tells us if the futex uses
an inode based store (mapped file), or mm based store (anonymous mem)
2) - compute a hash key
3) - Atomic increment of reference counter on an inode or a mm_struct
4) - lock part of futex_queues[] hash table
5) - perform the test on value of futex.
(rollback is value != expected_value, returns EWOULDBLOCK)
(various loops if test triggers mm faults)
6) queue the context into hash table, release the lock got in 4)
7) - release the read_lock on mmap_sem
<block>
8) Eventually unqueue the context (but rarely, as this part may be done
by the futex_wake())
Futexes were designed to improve scalability but current implementation has
various problems :
- Central hashtable :
This means scalability problems if many processes/threads want to use
futexes at the same time.
This means NUMA unbalance because this hashtable is located on one node.
- Using mmap_sem on every futex() syscall :
Even if mmap_sem is a rw_semaphore, up_read()/down_read() are doing atomic
ops on mmap_sem, dirtying cache line :
- lot of cache line ping pongs on SMP configurations.
mmap_sem is also extensively used by mm code (page faults, mmap()/munmap())
Highly threaded processes might suffer from mmap_sem contention.
mmap_sem is also used by oprofile code. Enabling oprofile hurts threaded
programs because of contention on the mmap_sem cache line.
- Using an atomic_inc()/atomic_dec() on inode ref counter or mm ref counter:
It's also a cache line ping pong on SMP. It also increases mmap_sem hold time
because of cache misses.
Most of these scalability problems come from the fact that futexes are in
one global namespace. As we use a central hash table, we must make sure
they are all using the same reference (given by the mm subsystem). We
chose to force all futexes be 'shared'. This has a cost.
But fact is POSIX defined PRIVATE and SHARED, allowing clear separation,
and optimal performance if carefuly implemented. Time has come for linux
to have better threading performance.
The goal is to permit new futex commands to avoid :
- Taking the mmap_sem semaphore, conflicting with other subsystems.
- Modifying a ref_count on mm or an inode, still conflicting with mm or fs.
This is possible because, for one process using PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE
futexes, we only need to distinguish futexes by their virtual address, no
matter the underlying mm storage is.
If glibc wants to exploit this new infrastructure, it should use new
_PRIVATE futex subcommands for PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE futexes. And be
prepared to fallback on old subcommands for old kernels. Using one global
variable with the FUTEX_PRIVATE_FLAG or 0 value should be OK.
PTHREAD_PROCESS_SHARED futexes should still use the old subcommands.
Compatibility with old applications is preserved, they still hit the
scalability problems, but new applications can fly :)
Note : the same SHARED futex (mapped on a file) can be used by old binaries
*and* new binaries, because both binaries will use the old subcommands.
Note : Vast majority of futexes should be using PROCESS_PRIVATE semantic,
as this is the default semantic. Almost all applications should benefit
of this changes (new kernel and updated libc)
Some bench results on a Pentium M 1.6 GHz (SMP kernel on a UP machine)

This patch provides the futex_requeue_pi functionality, which allows some
threads waiting on a normal futex to be requeued on the wait-queue of a
PI-futex.
This provides an optimization, already used for (normal) futexes, to be used
with the PI-futexes.
This optimization is currently used by the glibc in pthread_broadcast, when
using "normal" mutexes. With futex_requeue_pi, it can be used with
PRIO_INHERIT mutexes too.

This patch modifies futex_wait() to use an hrtimer + schedule() in place of
schedule_timeout().
schedule_timeout() is tick based, therefore the timeout granularity is the
tick (1 ms, 4 ms or 10 ms depending on HZ). By using a high resolution timer
for timeout wakeup, we can attain a much finer timeout granularity (in the
microsecond range). This parallels what is already done for futex_lock_pi().
The timeout passed to the syscall is no longer converted to jiffies and is
therefore passed to do_futex() and futex_wait() as an absolute ktime_t
therefore keeping nanosecond resolution.
Also this removes the need to pass the nanoseconds timeout part to
futex_lock_pi() in val2.
In futex_wait(), if there is no timeout then a regular schedule() is
performed. Otherwise, an hrtimer is fired before schedule() is called.

Today, all threads waiting for a given futex are woken in FIFO order (first
waiter woken first) instead of priority order.
This patch makes use of plist (pirotity ordered lists) instead of simple list

Some smarty went and inflicted ktime_t as a typedef upon us, so we cannot
forward declare it.
Create a new `union ktime', map ktime_t onto that. Now we need to kill off
this ktime_t thing.

mapping
When a lookup request arrives, nfsd uses information provided by userspace
(mountd) to find the right filesystem.
It then assumes that the same filehandle type as the incoming filehandle can
be used to create an outgoing filehandle.
However if mountd is buggy, or maybe just being creative, the filesystem may
not support that filesystem type, and the kernel could oops, particularly if
'ex_uuid' is NULL but a FSID_UUID* filehandle type is used.
So add some proper checking that the fsid version/type from the incoming
filehandle is actually supportable, and ignore that information if it isn't
supportable.

1/ decode_sattr and decode_sattr3 never return NULL, so remove
several checks for that. ditto for xdr_decode_hyper.
2/ replace some open coded XDR_QUADLEN calls with calls to
XDR_QUADLEN
3/ in decode_writeargs, simply an 'if' to use a single
calculation.
.page_len is the length of that part of the packet that did
not fit in the first page (the head).
So the length of the data part is the remainder of the
head, plus page_len.
3/ other minor cleanups.

This while loop has an overly complex condition, which performs a couple of
assignments. This hurts readability.
We don't really need a loop at all. We can just return -EAGAIN and (providing
we set SK_DATA), the function will be called again.
So discard the loop, make the complex conditional become a few clear function
calls, and hopefully improve readability.

If I send a RPC_GSS_PROC_DESTROY message to NFSv4 server, it will reply with a
bad rpc reply which lacks an authentication verifier. Maybe this patch is
needed.
Send/recv packets as following:
send:
RemoteProcedureCall
xid
rpcvers = 2
prog = 100003
vers = 4
proc = 0
cred = AUTH_GSS
version = 1
gss_proc = 3 (RPCSEC_GSS_DESTROY)
service = 1 (RPC_GSS_SVC_NONE)
verf = AUTH_GSS
checksum
reply:
RemoteProcedureReply
xid
msg_type
reply_stat
accepted_reply

rpcsec_gss_krb5.ko
I have been investigating a module reference count leak on the server for
rpcsec_gss_krb5.ko. It turns out the problem is a reference count leak for
the security context in net/sunrpc/auth_gss/svcauth_gss.c.
The problem is that gss_write_init_verf() calls gss_svc_searchbyctx() which
does a rsc_lookup() but never releases the reference to the context. There is
another issue that rpc.svcgssd sets an "end of time" expiration for the
context
By adding a cache_put() call in gss_svc_searchbyctx(), and setting an
expiration timeout in the downcall, cache_clean() does clean up the context
and the module reference count now goes to zero after unmount.
I also verified that if the context expires and then the client makes a new
request, a new context is established.
Here is the patch to fix the kernel, I will start a separate thread to discuss
what expiration time should be set by rpc.svcgssd.

It's not necessarily correct to assume that the xdr_buf used to hold the
server's reply must have page data whenever it has tail data.
And there's no need for us to deal with that case separately anyway.

register_rpc_pipefs() needs to clean up rpc_inode_cache
by kmem_cache_destroy() on register_filesystem() failure.
init_sunrpc() needs to unregister rpc_pipe_fs by unregister_rpc_pipefs()
when rpc_init_mempool() returns error.

When the kernel calls svc_reserve to downsize the expected size of an RPC
reply, it fails to account for the possibility of a checksum at the end of
the packet. If a client mounts a NFSv2/3 with sec=krb5i/p, and does I/O
then you'll generally see messages similar to this in the server's ring
buffer:
RPC request reserved 164 but used 208
While I was never able to verify it, I suspect that this problem is also
the root cause of some oopses I've seen under these conditions:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=227726
This is probably also a problem for other sec= types and for NFSv4. The
large reserved size for NFSv4 compound packets seems to generally paper
over the problem, however.
This patch adds a wrapper for svc_reserve that accounts for the possibility
of a checksum. It also fixes up the appropriate callers of svc_reserve to
call the wrapper. For now, it just uses a hardcoded value that I
determined via testing. That value may need to be revised upward as things
change, or we may want to eventually add a new auth_op that attempts to
calculate this somehow.
Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a good way to reliably determine
the expected checksum length prior to actually calculating it, particularly
with schemes like spkm3.
