vfs: decrapify dput(), fix cache behavior under normal load

2013-10-31T22:43:02Z

We do not want to dirty the dentry->d_flags cacheline in dput() just to set the DCACHE_REFERENCED flag when it is already set in the common case anyway. This way the first cacheline of the dentry (which contains the RCU lookup information etc) can stay shared among multiple CPU's. This finishes off some of the details of all the scalability patches merged during the merge window. Also don't mark dentry_kill() for inlining, since it's the uncommon path and inlining it just makes the common path slower due to extra function entry/exit overhead. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

Revert "select: use freezable blocking call"

2013-10-30T14:28:35Z

This reverts commit 9745cdb36da8 (select: use freezable blocking call) that triggers problems during resume from suspend to RAM on Paul Bolle's 32-bit x86 machines. Paul says: Ever since I tried running (release candidates of) v3.11 on the two working i686s I still have lying around I ran into issues on resuming from suspend. Reverting 9745cdb36da8 (select: use freezable blocking call) resolves those issues. Resuming from suspend on i686 on (release candidates of) v3.11 and later triggers issues like: traps: systemd[1] general protection ip:b738e490 sp:bf882fc0 error:0 in libc-2.16.so[b731c000+1b0000] and traps: rtkit-daemon[552] general protection ip:804d6e5 sp:b6cb32f0 error:0 in rtkit-daemon[8048000+d000] Once I hit the systemd error I can only get out of the mess that the system is at that point by power cycling it. Since we are reverting another freezer-related change causing similar problems to happen, this one should be reverted as well.

Revert "epoll: use freezable blocking call"

2013-10-30T14:27:53Z

This reverts commit 1c441e921201 (epoll: use freezable blocking call) which is reported to cause user space memory corruption to happen after suspend to RAM. Since it appears to be extremely difficult to root cause this problem, it is best to revert the offending commit and try to address the original issue in a better way later.

seq_file: always update file->f_pos in seq_lseek()

2013-10-25T14:46:40Z

This issue was first pointed out by Jiaxing Wang several months ago, but no further comments: https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/6/29/41 As we know pread() does not change f_pos, so after pread(), file->f_pos and m->read_pos become different. And seq_lseek() does not update file->f_pos if offset equals to m->read_pos, so after pread() and seq_lseek()(lseek to m->read_pos), then a subsequent read may read from a wrong position, the following program produces the problem: char str1[32] = { 0 }; char str2[32] = { 0 }; int poffset = 10; int count = 20; /*open any seq file*/ int fd = open("/proc/modules", O_RDONLY); pread(fd, str1, count, poffset); printf("pread:%s\n", str1); /*seek to where m->read_pos is*/ lseek(fd, poffset+count, SEEK_SET); /*supposed to read from poffset+count, but this read from position 0*/ read(fd, str2, count); printf("read:%s\n", str2); out put: pread: ck_netbios_ns 12665 read: nf_conntrack_netbios /proc/modules: nf_conntrack_netbios_ns 12665 0 - Live 0xffffffffa038b000 nf_conntrack_broadcast 12589 1 nf_conntrack_netbios_ns, Live 0xffffffffa0386000 So we always update file->f_pos to offset in seq_lseek() to fix this issue.
