writeback: pay attention to wbc->nr_to_write in write_cache_pages

2010-06-09T01:12:44Z

If a filesystem writes more than one page in ->writepage, write_cache_pages fails to notice this and continues to attempt writeback when wbc->nr_to_write has gone negative - this trace was captured from XFS: wbc_writeback_start: towrt=1024 wbc_writepage: towrt=1024 wbc_writepage: towrt=0 wbc_writepage: towrt=-1 wbc_writepage: towrt=-5 wbc_writepage: towrt=-21 wbc_writepage: towrt=-85 This has adverse effects on filesystem writeback behaviour. write_cache_pages() needs to terminate after a certain number of pages are written, not after a certain number of calls to ->writepage are made. This is a regression introduced by 17bc6c30cf6bfffd816bdc53682dd46fc34a2cf4 ("vfs: Add no_nrwrite_index_update writeback control flag"), but cannot be reverted directly due to subsequent bug fixes that have gone in on top of it.

tracing: Fix null pointer deref with SEND_SIG_FORCED

2010-06-08T21:51:32Z

BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000006 IP: [] ftrace_raw_event_signal_generate+0x87/0x140 TP_STORE_SIGINFO() forgets about SEND_SIG_FORCED, fix. We should probably export is_si_special() and change TP_STORE_SIGINFO() to use it in the longer term.

sched, trace: Fix sched_switch() prev_state argument

2010-06-01T07:27:17Z

For CONFIG_PREEMPT=y kernels the sched_switch(.prev_state) argument isn't useful because we can get preempted with current->state != TASK_RUNNING without actually getting removed from the runqueue. Cure this by treating all preempted tasks as runnable from the tracer's point of view.
