mm: Fix PageHead when !CONFIG_PAGEFLAGS_EXTENDED

2013-01-11T17:06:48Z

commit ad4b3fb7ff9940bcdb1e4cd62bd189d10fa636ba upstream. Unfortunately with !CONFIG_PAGEFLAGS_EXTENDED, (!PageHead) is false, and (PageHead) is true, for tail pages. If this is indeed the intended behavior, which I doubt because it breaks cache cleaning on some ARM systems, then the nomenclature is highly problematic. This patch makes sure PageHead is only true for head pages and PageTail is only true for tail pages, and neither is true for non-compound pages. [ This buglet seems ancient - seems to have been introduced back in Apr 2008 in commit 6a1e7f777f61: "pageflags: convert to the use of new macros". And the reason nobody noticed is because the PageHead() tests are almost all about just sanity-checking, and only used on pages that are actual page heads. The fact that the old code returned true for tail pages too was thus not really noticeable. - Linus ] Signed-off-by: Christoffer Dall Acked-by: Andrea Arcangeli Cc: Andrew Morton Cc: Will Deacon Cc: Steve Capper Cc: Christoph Lameter Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

2012-03-24T17:08:39Z

Pull cleanup from Paul Gortmaker: "The changes shown here are to unify linux's BUG support under the one file. Due to historical reasons, we have some BUG code in bug.h and some in kernel.h -- i.e. the support for BUILD_BUG in linux/kernel.h predates the addition of linux/bug.h, but old code in kernel.h wasn't moved to bug.h at that time. As a band-aid, kernel.h was including to pseudo link them. This has caused confusion[1] and general yuck/WTF[2] reactions. Here is an example that violates the principle of least surprise: CC lib/string.o lib/string.c: In function 'strlcat': lib/string.c:225:2: error: implicit declaration of function 'BUILD_BUG_ON' make[2]: *** [lib/string.o] Error 1 $ $ grep linux/bug.h lib/string.c #include $ We've included for the BUG infrastructure and yet we still get a compile fail! [We've not kernel.h for BUILD_BUG_ON.] Ugh - very confusing for someone who is new to kernel development. With the above in mind, the goals of this changeset are: 1) find and fix any include/*.h files that were relying on the implicit presence of BUG code. 2) find and fix any C files that were consuming kernel.h and hence relying on implicitly getting some/all BUG code. 3) Move the BUG related code living in kernel.h to 4) remove the asm/bug.h from kernel.h to finally break the chain. During development, the order was more like 3-4, build-test, 1-2. But to ensure that git history for bisect doesn't get needless build failures introduced, the commits have been reorderd to fix the problem areas in advance.

thp: allow a hwpoisoned head page to be put back to LRU

2012-03-22T00:54:58Z

Andrea Arcangeli pointed out to me that a check in __memory_failure() which was intended to prevent THP tail pages from being checked for the absence of the PG_lru flag (something that is always the case), was also preventing THP head pages from being checked. A THP head page could actually benefit from the call to shake_page() by ending up being put back to a LRU, provided it had been waiting in a pagevec array. Andrea suggested that the "!PageTransCompound(p)" in the if-statement should be replaced by a "!PageTransTail(p)", thus allowing THP head pages to be checked and possibly shaken.

BUG: headers with BUG/BUG_ON etc. need linux/bug.h

2012-03-04T22:54:34Z

If a header file is making use of BUG, BUG_ON, BUILD_BUG_ON, or any other BUG variant in a static inline (i.e. not in a #define) then that header really should be including and not just expecting it to be implicitly present. We can make this change risk-free, since if the files using these headers didn't have exposure to linux/bug.h already, they would have been causing compile failures/warnings.

slub: Do not use frozen page flag but a bit in the page counters

2011-07-02T10:26:52Z

Do not use a page flag for the frozen bit. It needs to be part of the state that is handled with cmpxchg_double(). So use a bit in the counter struct in the page struct for that purpose. Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter Signed-off-by: Pekka Enberg

[S390] mm: fix storage key handling

2011-05-29T10:40:51Z

page_get_storage_key() and page_set_storage_key() expect a page address and not its page frame number. This got inconsistent with 2d42552d "[S390] merge page_test_dirty and page_clear_dirty". Result is that we read/write storage keys from random pages and do not have a working dirty bit tracking at all. E.g. SetPageUpdate() doesn't clear the dirty bit of requested pages, which for example ext4 doesn't like very much and panics after a while.

[S390] merge page_test_dirty and page_clear_dirty

2011-05-23T08:24:31Z

The page_clear_dirty primitive always sets the default storage key which resets the access control bits and the fetch protection bit. That will surprise a KVM guest that sets non-zero access control bits or the fetch protection bit. Merge page_test_dirty and page_clear_dirty back to a single function and only clear the dirty bit from the storage key. In addition move the function page_test_and_clear_dirty and page_test_and_clear_young to page.h where they belong. This requires to change the parameter from a struct page * to a page frame number.
