DM-RAID: Fix RAID10's check for sufficient redundancy

2013-02-04T00:27:02Z

commit 55ebbb59c1c6eb1b040f62b8c4ae0b724de6e55a upstream. Before attempting to activate a RAID array, it is checked for sufficient redundancy. That is, we make sure that there are not too many failed devices - or devices specified for rebuild - to undermine our ability to activate the array. The current code performs this check twice - once to ensure there were not too many devices specified for rebuild by the user ('validate_rebuild_devices') and again after possibly experiencing a failure to read the superblock ('analyse_superblocks'). Neither of these checks are sufficient. The first check is done properly but with insufficient information about the possible failure state of the devices to make a good determination if the array can be activated. The second check is simply done wrong in the case of RAID10 because it doesn't account for the independence of the stripes (i.e. mirror sets). The solution is to use the properly written check ('validate_rebuild_devices'), but perform the check after the superblocks have been read and we know which devices have failed. This gives us one check instead of two and performs it in a location where it can be done right. Only RAID10 was affected and it was affected in the following ways: - the code did not properly catch the condition where a user specified a device for rebuild that already had a failed device in the same mirror set. (This condition would, however, be caught at a deeper level in MD.) - the code triggers a false positive and denies activation when devices in independent mirror sets have failed - counting the failures as though they were all in the same set. The most likely place this error was introduced (or this patch should have been included) is in commit 4ec1e369 - first introduced in v3.7-rc1. Consequently this fix should also go in v3.7.y, however there is a small conflict on the .version in raid_target, so I'll submit a separate patch to -stable.

PM: Move disabling/enabling runtime PM to late suspend/early resume

2013-01-17T16:46:22Z

commit 9f6d8f6ab26b42620a914d67f29822f9bba90233 upstream. Currently, the PM core disables runtime PM for all devices right after executing subsystem/driver .suspend() callbacks for them and re-enables it right before executing subsystem/driver .resume() callbacks for them. This may lead to problems when there are two devices such that the .suspend() callback executed for one of them depends on runtime PM working for the other. In that case, if runtime PM has already been disabled for the second device, the first one's .suspend() won't work correctly (and analogously for resume). To make those issues go away, make the PM core disable runtime PM for devices right before executing subsystem/driver .suspend_late() callbacks for them and enable runtime PM for them right after executing subsystem/driver .resume_early() callbacks for them. This way the potential conflitcs between .suspend_late()/.resume_early() and their runtime PM counterparts are still prevented from happening, but the subtle ordering issues related to disabling/enabling runtime PM for devices during system suspend/resume are much easier to avoid.

of/net/mdio-gpio: Fix pdev->id issue when using devicetrees.

2012-11-19T23:57:07Z

When the mdio-gpio driver is probed via device trees, the platform device id is set as -1, However the pdev->id is re-used as bus-id for while creating mdio gpio bus. So For device tree case the mdio-gpio bus name appears as "gpio-ffffffff" where as for non-device tree case the bus name appears as "gpio-" Which means the bus_id is fixed in device tree case, so we can't have two mdio gpio buses via device trees. Assigning a logical bus number via device tree solves the problem and the bus name is much consistent with non-device tree bus name. Without this patch 1. we can't support two mdio-gpio buses via device trees. 2. we should always pass gpio-ffffffff as bus name to phy_connect, very different to non-device tree bus name. So, setting up the bus_id via aliases from device tree is the right solution and other drivers do similar thing. Signed-off-by: Srinivas Kandagatla Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

memcg: oom: fix totalpages calculation for memory.swappiness==0

2012-11-16T22:33:04Z

oom_badness() takes a totalpages argument which says how many pages are available and it uses it as a base for the score calculation. The value is calculated by mem_cgroup_get_limit which considers both limit and total_swap_pages (resp. memsw portion of it). This is usually correct but since fe35004fbf9e ("mm: avoid swapping out with swappiness==0") we do not swap when swappiness is 0 which means that we cannot really use up all the totalpages pages. This in turn confuses oom score calculation if the memcg limit is much smaller than the available swap because the used memory (capped by the limit) is negligible comparing to totalpages so the resulting score is too small if adj!=0 (typically task with CAP_SYS_ADMIN or non zero oom_score_adj). A wrong process might be selected as result. The problem can be worked around by checking mem_cgroup_swappiness==0 and not considering swap at all in such a case.

mm, oom: reintroduce /proc/pid/oom_adj

2012-11-16T18:15:35Z

This is mostly a revert of 01dc52ebdf47 ("oom: remove deprecated oom_adj") from Davidlohr Bueso. It reintroduces /proc/pid/oom_adj for backwards compatibility with earlier kernels. It simply scales the value linearly when /proc/pid/oom_score_adj is written. The major difference is that its scheduled removal is no longer included in Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt. We do warn users with a single printk, though, to suggest the more powerful and supported /proc/pid/oom_score_adj interface. Reported-by: Artem S.
