mm, oom: base root bonus on current usage

2014-02-13T21:55:37Z

commit 778c14affaf94a9e4953179d3e13a544ccce7707 upstream. A 3% of system memory bonus is sometimes too excessive in comparison to other processes. With commit a63d83f427fb ("oom: badness heuristic rewrite"), the OOM killer tries to avoid killing privileged tasks by subtracting 3% of overall memory (system or cgroup) from their per-task consumption. But as a result, all root tasks that consume less than 3% of overall memory are considered equal, and so it only takes 33+ privileged tasks pushing the system out of memory for the OOM killer to do something stupid and kill dhclient or other root-owned processes. For example, on a 32G machine it can't tell the difference between the 1M agetty and the 10G fork bomb member. The changelog describes this 3% boost as the equivalent to the global overcommit limit being 3% higher for privileged tasks, but this is not the same as discounting 3% of overall memory from _every privileged task individually_ during OOM selection. Replace the 3% of system memory bonus with a 3% of current memory usage bonus. By giving root tasks a bonus that is proportional to their actual size, they remain comparable even when relatively small. In the example above, the OOM killer will discount the 1M agetty's 256 badness points down to 179, and the 10G fork bomb's 262144 points down to 183500 points and make the right choice, instead of discounting both to 0 and killing agetty because it's first in the task list.

i2c: mv64xxx: Document the newly introduced Armada XP A0 compatible

2014-02-06T19:34:07Z

commit f8b94beb7e6a374cb0de531b72377c49857b35ca upstream. The first variants of Armada XP SoCs (A0 stepping) have issues related to the i2c controller which prevent to use the offload mechanism and lead to a kernel hang during boot.

ata: sata_mv: introduce compatible string "marvell, armada-370-sata"

2014-02-06T19:34:05Z

commit b1f5c73bd5a4752efb7d7af019034044b08aafe9 upstream. The sata_mv driver supports the SATA IP found in several Marvell SoCs. As some new SATA registers have been introduced with the Armada 370/XP SoCs, a way to identify them is needed. This patch introduces a new compatible string for the SATA IP found in Armada 370/XP SoCs.

Pull libata fixes from Tejun Heo: "There's one interseting commit - "libata, freezer: avoid block device removal while system is frozen". It's an ugly hack working around a deadlock condition between driver core resume and block layer device removal paths through freezer which was made more reproducible by writeback being converted to workqueue some releases ago. The bug has nothing to do with libata but it's just an workaround which is easy to backport. After discussion, Rafael and I seem to agree that we don't really need kernel freezables - both kthread and workqueue. There are few specific workqueues which constitute PM operations and require freezing, which will be converted to use workqueue_set_max_active() instead. All other kernel freezer uses are planned to be removed, followed by the removal of kthread and workqueue freezer support, hopefully. Others are device-specific fixes. The most notable is the addition of NO_NCQ_TRIM which is used to disable queued TRIM commands to Micro M500 SSDs which otherwise suffers data corruption" * 'for-3.13-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/libata: libata, freezer: avoid block device removal while system is frozen libata: implement ATA_HORKAGE_NO_NCQ_TRIM and apply it to Micro M500 SSDs libata: disable a disk via libata.force params ahci: bail out on ICH6 before using AHCI BAR ahci: imx: Explicitly clear IMX6Q_GPR13_SATA_MPLL_CLK_EN libata: add ATA_HORKAGE_BROKEN_FPDMA_AA quirk for Seagate Momentus SpinPoint M8
