This eliminates the i_blksize field from struct inode. Filesystems that want
to provide a per-inode st_blksize can do so by providing their own getattr
routine instead of using the generic_fillattr() function.
Note that some filesystems were providing pretty much random (and incorrect)
values for i_blksize.

The following patches reduce the size of the VFS inode structure by 28 bytes
on a UP x86. (It would be more on an x86_64 system). This is a 10% reduction
in the inode size on a UP kernel that is configured in a production mode
(i.e., with no spinlock or other debugging functions enabled; if you want to
save memory taken up by in-core inodes, the first thing you should do is
disable the debugging options; they are responsible for a huge amount of bloat
in the VFS inode structure).
This patch:
The filesystem or device-specific pointer in the inode is inside a union,
which is pretty pointless given that all 30+ users of this field have been
using the void pointer. Get rid of the union and rename it to i_private, with
a comment to explain who is allowed to use the void pointer. This is just a
cleanup, but it allows us to reuse the union 'u' for something something where
the union will actually be used.

Resetting the devices during driver initialization can be a costly
operation in terms of time (especially scsi devices). This option can be
used by drivers to know that user forcibly wants the devices to be reset
during initialization.
This option can be useful while kernel is booting in unreliable
environment. For ex. during kdump boot where devices are in unknown
random state and BIOS execution has been skipped.

For a long time now I have had a problem with not being able to return a
lookup failure on an existsing directory. In autofs this corresponds to a
mount failure on a autofs managed mount entry that is browsable (and so the
mount point directory exists).
While this problem has been present for a long time I've avoided resolving
it because it was not very visible. But now that autofs v5 has "mount and
expire on demand" of nested multiple mounts, such as is found when mounting
an export list from a server, solving the problem cannot be avoided any
longer.
I've tried very hard to find a way to do this entirely within the autofs4
module but have not been able to find a satisfactory way to achieve it.
So, I need to propose a change to the VFS.

fork on UML has always somewhat subtle. The underlying cause has been the
need to initialize a stack for the new process. The only portable way to
initialize a new stack is to set it as the alternate signal stack and take a
signal. The signal handler does whatever initialization is needed and jumps
back to the original stack, where the fork processing is finished. The basic
context switching mechanism is a jmp_buf for each process. You switch to a
new process by longjmping to its jmp_buf.
Now that UML has its own implementation of setjmp and longjmp, and I can poke
around inside a jmp_buf without fear that libc will change the structure, a
much simpler mechanism is possible. The jmpbuf can simply be initialized by
hand.
This eliminates -
the need to set up and remove the alternate signal stack
sending and handling a signal
the signal blocking needed around the stack switching, since
there is no stack switching
setting up the jmp_buf needed to jump back to the original
stack after the new one is set up
In addition, since jmp_buf is now defined by UML, and not by libc, it can be
embedded in the thread struct. This makes it unnecessary to have it exist on
the stack, where it used to be. It also simplifies interfaces, since the
switch jmp_buf used to be a void * inside the thread struct, and functions
which took it as an argument needed to define a jmp_buf variable and assign it
from the void *.

The UML/x86_64 headers were missing ptrace support for some segment registers.
The underlying problem was that the x86_64 kernel uses user_regs_struct
rather than the ptrace register definitions in ptrace. This patch switches

This spinlock can be taken on interrupt too, so spin_lock_irq[save] must be
used.
However, Documentation/networking/netdevices.txt explains we are called with
rtnl_lock() held - so we don't need to care about other concurrent opens.
Verified also in LDD3 and by direct checking. Also verified that the network
layer (through a state machine) guarantees us that nobody will close the
interface while it's being used. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Also, we must check we don't sleep with irqs disabled!!! But anyway, this is
not news - we already can't sleep while holding a spinlock. Who says this is
guaranted really by the present code?

Make futexes work under NOMMU conditions.
This can be tested by running this in one shell:
#define SYSERROR(X, Y) \
do { if ((long)(X) == -1L) { perror(Y); exit(1); }} while(0)
int main()
{
int shmid, tmp, *f, n;
shmid = shmget(23, 4, IPC_CREAT|0666);
SYSERROR(shmid, "shmget");
f = shmat(shmid, NULL, 0);
SYSERROR(f, "shmat");
n = *f;
printf("WAIT: %p{%x}\n", f, n);
tmp = futex(f, FUTEX_WAIT, n, NULL, NULL, 0);
SYSERROR(tmp, "futex");
printf("WAITED: %d\n", tmp);
tmp = shmdt(f);
SYSERROR(tmp, "shmdt");
exit(0);
}
And then this in the other shell:
#define SYSERROR(X, Y) \
do { if ((long)(X) == -1L) { perror(Y); exit(1); }} while(0)
int main()
{
int shmid, tmp, *f;
shmid = shmget(23, 4, IPC_CREAT|0666);
SYSERROR(shmid, "shmget");
f = shmat(shmid, NULL, 0);
SYSERROR(f, "shmat");
(*f)++;
printf("WAKE: %p{%x}\n", f, *f);
tmp = futex(f, FUTEX_WAKE, 1, NULL, NULL, 0);
SYSERROR(tmp, "futex");
printf("WOKE: %d\n", tmp);
tmp = shmdt(f);
SYSERROR(tmp, "shmdt");
exit(0);
}
The first program will set up a SYSV IPC SHM segment and wait on a futex in it
for the number at the start to change. The program will increment that number
and wake the first program up. This leads to output of the form:
SHELL 1 SHELL 2

Permit ptrace to modify a section that's non-shared but is marked
unwritable, such as is obtained by mapping the text segment of an ELF-FDPIC
executable binary with into a binary that's being ptraced[*].
[*] Under NOMMU conditions ptrace causes read-only MAP_PRIVATE mmaps to become
totally private copies because if a private mapping was actually shared
then the debugging setting breakpoints in it would potentially crash
other processes.
This is done by using the VM_MAYWRITE flag rather than the VM_WRITE flag
when deciding whether to permit a write.
Without this patch a debugger can't set breakpoints in the mapped text
sections of executables that are mapped read-only private, even if the
mmap() syscall has taken a private copy because PT_PTRACED is set.
In addition, VM_MAYREAD is used instead of VM_READ for similar reasons.

Implement do_no_pfn() for handling mapping of memory without a struct page
backing it. This avoids creating fake page table entries for regions which
are not backed by real memory.
This feature is used by the MSPEC driver and other users, where it is
highly undesirable to have a struct page sitting behind the page (for
instance if the page is accessed in cached mode via the struct page in
parallel to the the driver accessing it uncached, which can result in data
corruption on some architectures, such as ia64).
This version uses specific NOPFN_{SIGBUS,OOM} return values, rather than
expect all negative pfn values would be an error. It also bugs on cow
mappings as this would not work with the VM.

This patch insures that the slab node lists in the NUMA case only contain
slabs that belong to that specific node. All slab allocations use
GFP_THISNODE when calling into the page allocator. If an allocation fails
then we fall back in the slab allocator according to the zonelists appropriate
for a certain context.
This allows a replication of the behavior of alloc_pages and alloc_pages node
in the slab layer.
Currently allocations requested from the page allocator may be redirected via
cpusets to other nodes. This results in remote pages on nodelists and that in
turn results in interrupt latency issues during cache draining. Plus the slab
is handing out memory as local when it is really remote.
Fallback for slab memory allocations will occur within the slab allocator and
not in the page allocator. This is necessary in order to be able to use the
existing pools of objects on the nodes that we fall back to before adding more
pages to a slab.
The fallback function insures that the nodes we fall back to obey cpuset
restrictions of the current context. We do not allocate objects from outside
of the current cpuset context like before.
Note that the implementation of locality constraints within the slab allocator
requires importing logic from the page allocator. This is a mischmash that is
not that great. Other allocators (uncached allocator, vmalloc, huge pages)
face similar problems and have similar minimal reimplementations of the basic
fallback logic of the page allocator. There is another way of implementing a
slab by avoiding per node lists (see modular slab) but this wont work within
the existing slab.

- Use NUMA_BUILD to avoid #ifdef CONFIG_NUMA
- Exploit GFP_THISNODE being 0 in the NON_NUMA case to avoid another

On larger systems, the amount of output dumped on the console when you do
SysRq-M is beyond insane. This patch is trying to reduce it somewhat as
even with the smaller NUMA systems that have hit the desktop this seems to
be a fair thing to do.
The philosophy I have taken is as follows:
1) If a zone is empty, don't tell, we don't need yet another line
telling us so. The information is available since one can look up
the fact how many zones were initialized in the first place.
2) Put as much information on a line is possible, if it can be done
in one line, rahter than two, then do it in one. I tried to format
the temperature stuff for easy reading.
Change show_free_areas() to not print lines for empty zones. If no zone
output is printed, the zone is empty. This reduces the number of lines
dumped to the console in sysrq on a large system by several thousand lines.
Change the zone temperature printouts to use one line per CPU instead of
two lines (one hot, one cold). On a 1024 CPU, 1024 node system, this
reduces the console output by over a million lines of output.
While this is a bigger problem on large NUMA systems, it is also applicable
to smaller desktop sized and mid range NUMA systems.

numa_node_id()
kmalloc_node() falls back to ___cache_alloc() under certain conditions and
at that point memory policies may be applied redirecting the allocation
away from the current node. Therefore kmalloc_node(...,numa_node_id()) or
kmalloc_node(...,-1) may not return memory from the local node.
Fix this by doing the policy check in __cache_alloc() instead of
____cache_alloc().
This version here is a cleanup of Kiran's patch.
- Tested on ia64.
- Extra material removed.
- Consolidate the exit path if alternate_node_alloc() returned an object.
