Merge branch 'block-dev'

2012-12-03T18:53:25Z

Merge 'block-dev' branch. I was going to just mark everything here for stable and leave it to the 3.8 merge window, but having decided on doing another -rc, I migth as well merge it now. This removes the bd_block_size_semaphore semaphore that was added in this release to fix a race condition between block size changes and block IO, and replaces it with atomicity guaratees in fs/buffer.c instead, along with simplifying fs/block-dev.c. This removes more lines than it adds, makes the code generally simpler, and avoids the latency/rt issues that the block size semaphore introduced for mount. I'm not happy with the timing, but it wouldn't be much better doing this during the merge window and then having some delayed back-port of it into stable. * block-dev: blkdev_max_block: make private to fs/buffer.c direct-io: don't read inode->i_blkbits multiple times blockdev: remove bd_block_size_semaphore again fs/buffer.c: make block-size be per-page and protected by the page lock

Merge misc fixes from Andrew Morton: "Seven fixes, some of them fingers-crossed :(" * emailed patches from Andrew Morton : (7 patches) drivers/rtc/rtc-tps65910.c: fix invalid pointer access on _remove() mm: soft offline: split thp at the beginning of soft_offline_page() mm: avoid waking kswapd for THP allocations when compaction is deferred or contended revert "Revert "mm: remove __GFP_NO_KSWAPD"" mm: vmscan: fix endless loop in kswapd balancing mm/vmemmap: fix wrong use of virt_to_page mm: compaction: fix return value of capture_free_page()

2012-11-30T16:51:17Z

It apepars that this patch was innocent, and we hope that "mm: avoid waking kswapd for THP allocations when compaction is deferred or contended" will fix the final kswapd-spinning cause.

blkdev_max_block: make private to fs/buffer.c

2012-11-30T01:48:12Z

We really don't want to look at the block size for the raw block device accesses in fs/block-dev.c, because it may be changing from under us. So get rid of the max_block logic entirely, since the caller should already have done it anyway. That leaves the only user of this function in fs/buffer.c, so move the whole function there and make it static. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

blockdev: remove bd_block_size_semaphore again

2012-11-29T18:52:19Z

This reverts the block-device direct access code to the previous unlocked code, now that fs/buffer.c no longer needs external locking. With this, fs/block_dev.c is back to the original version, apart from a whitespace cleanup that I didn't want to revert. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

percpu-rwsem: use synchronize_sched_expedited

Revert "mm: remove __GFP_NO_KSWAPD"

2012-11-27T01:41:24Z

With "mm: vmscan: scale number of pages reclaimed by reclaim/compaction based on failures" reverted, Zdenek Kabelac reported the following Hmm, so it's just took longer to hit the problem and observe kswapd0 spinning on my CPU again - it's not as endless like before - but still it easily eats minutes - it helps to turn off Firefox or TB (memory hungry apps) so kswapd0 stops soon - and restart those apps again. (And I still have like >1GB of cached memory) kswapd0 R running task 0 30 2 0x00000000 Call Trace: preempt_schedule+0x42/0x60 _raw_spin_unlock+0x55/0x60 put_super+0x31/0x40 drop_super+0x22/0x30 prune_super+0x149/0x1b0 shrink_slab+0xba/0x510 The sysrq+m indicates the system has no swap so it'll never reclaim anonymous pages as part of reclaim/compaction. That is one part of the problem but not the root cause as file-backed pages could also be reclaimed. The likely underlying problem is that kswapd is woken up or kept awake for each THP allocation request in the page allocator slow path. If compaction fails for the requesting process then compaction will be deferred for a time and direct reclaim is avoided. However, if there are a storm of THP requests that are simply rejected, it will still be the the case that kswapd is awake for a prolonged period of time as pgdat->kswapd_max_order is updated each time. This is noticed by the main kswapd() loop and it will not call kswapd_try_to_sleep(). Instead it will loopp, shrinking a small number of pages and calling shrink_slab() on each iteration. The temptation is to supply a patch that checks if kswapd was woken for THP and if so ignore pgdat->kswapd_max_order but it'll be a hack and not backed up by proper testing. As 3.7 is very close to release and this is not a bug we should release with, a safer path is to revert "mm: remove __GFP_NO_KSWAPD" for now and revisit it with the view to ironing out the balance_pgdat() logic in general.
