Commit bf6bddf192 ("mm: introduce compaction and migration for
ballooned pages") introduces page_count(page) into memory compaction
which dereferences page->first_page if PageTail(page).
This results in a very rare NULL pointer dereference on the
aforementioned page_count(page). Indeed, anything that does
compound_head(), including page_count() is susceptible to racing with
prep_compound_page() and seeing a NULL or dangling page->first_page
pointer.
This patch uses Andrea's implementation of compound_trans_head() that
deals with such a race and makes it the default compound_head()
implementation. This includes a read memory barrier that ensures that
if PageTail(head) is true that we return a head page that is neither
NULL nor dangling. The patch then adds a store memory barrier to
prep_compound_page() to ensure page->first_page is set.
This is the safest way to ensure we see the head page that we are
expecting, PageTail(page) is already in the unlikely() path and the
memory barriers are unfortunately required.
Hugetlbfs is the exception, we don't enforce a store memory barrier
during init since no race is possible.

There is also a fix to xen-blkfront to deal with unexpected state

The completion queue is implemented using lockless list.
The llist_add is adds the events to the list head which is a push operation.
The processing of the completion elements is done by disconnecting all the
pushed elements and iterating over the disconnected list. The problem is
that the processing is done in reverse order w.r.t order of the insertion
i.e. LIFO processing. By reversing the disconnected list which is done in
linear time the desired FIFO processing is achieved.

Backend drivers shouldn't transistion to CLOSED unless the frontend is

I've at least identified two possible memory leaks in blkback, both
related to the shutdown path of a VBD:
- blkback doesn't wait for any pending purge work to finish before
cleaning the list of free_pages. The purge work will call
put_free_pages and thus we might end up with pages being added to
the free_pages list after we have emptied it. Fix this by making
sure there's no pending purge work before exiting
xen_blkif_schedule, and moving the free_page cleanup code to
xen_blkif_free.
- blkback doesn't wait for pending requests to end before cleaning
persistent grants and the list of free_pages. Again this can add
pages to the free_pages list or persistent grants to the
persistent_gnts red-black tree. Fixed by moving the persistent
grants and free_pages cleanup code to xen_blkif_free.
Also, add some checks in xen_blkif_free to make sure we are cleaning
everything.

xen/gnttab: Use phys_addr_t to describe the grant frame base address
xen: swiotlb: handle sizeof(dma_addr_t) != sizeof(phys_addr_t)
arm/xen: Initialize event channels earlier
The grant mapping API does m2p_override unnecessarily: only gntdev needs it,
for blkback and future netback patches it just cause a lock contention, as
those pages never go to userspace. Therefore this series does the following:
- the original functions were renamed to __gnttab_[un]map_refs, with a new
parameter m2p_override
- based on m2p_override either they follow the original behaviour, or just set
the private flag and call set_phys_to_machine
- gnttab_[un]map_refs are now a wrapper to call __gnttab_[un]map_refs with
m2p_override false
- a new function gnttab_[un]map_refs_userspace provides the old behaviour
It also removes a stray space from page.h and change ret to 0 if
XENFEAT_auto_translated_physmap, as that is the only possible return value
there.
v2:
- move the storing of the old mfn in page->index to gnttab_map_refs
- move the function header update to a separate patch
v3:
- a new approach to retain old behaviour where it needed
- squash the patches into one
v4:
- move out the common bits from m2p* functions, and pass pfn/mfn as parameter
- clear page->private before doing anything with the page, so m2p_find_override
won't race with this
v5:
- change return value handling in __gnttab_[un]map_refs
- remove a stray space in page.h
- add detail why ret = 0 now at some places
v6:
- don't pass pfn to m2p* functions, just get it locally

Currently, the zram table is protected by zram->lock but it's rather

Let's use own rwlock instead of depending on zram->lock. This patch
adds new locking so obviously, it would make slow but this patch is just
prepartion for removing coarse-grained rw_semaphore(ie, zram->lock)

Let's consider below example.
Swap subsystem ask to zram "A" block free by swap_slot_free_notify but
zram had been pended it without real freeing. Swap subsystem allocates
"A" block for new data but request pended for a long time just handled
and zram blindly free new data on the "A" block. :(
That's why we couldn't remove handle pending free request right before

Zram has lived in staging for a LONG LONG time and have been
fixed/improved by many contributors so code is clean and stable now. Of
course, there are lots of product using zram in real practice.
The major TV companys have used zram as swap since two years ago and
recently our production team released android smart phone with zram
which is used as swap, too and recently Android Kitkat start to use zram
for small memory smart phone. And there was a report Google released
their ChromeOS with zram, too and cyanogenmod have been used zram long
time ago. And I heard some disto have used zram block device for tmpfs.
In addition, I saw many report from many other peoples. For example,
Lubuntu start to use it.
The benefit of zram is very clear. With my experience, one of the
benefit was to remove jitter of video application with backgroud memory
pressure. It would be effect of efficient memory usage by compression
but more issue is whether swap is there or not in the system. Recent
mobile platforms have used JAVA so there are many anonymous pages. But
embedded system normally are reluctant to use eMMC or SDCard as swap
because there is wear-leveling and latency issues so if we do not use
swap, it means we can't reclaim anoymous pages and at last, we could
encounter OOM kill. :(
Although we have real storage as swap, it was a problem, too. Because
it sometime ends up making system very unresponsible caused by slow swap
storage performance.
Quote from Luigi on Google
"Since Chrome OS was mentioned: the main reason why we don't use swap
to a disk (rotating or SSD) is because it doesn't degrade gracefully
and leads to a bad interactive experience. Generally we prefer to
manage RAM at a higher level, by transparently killing and restarting
processes. But we noticed that zram is fast enough to be competitive
with the latter, and it lets us make more efficient use of the
available RAM. " and he announced.
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-mm/msg57717.html
Other uses case is to use zram for block device. Zram is block device
so anyone can format the block device and mount on it so some guys on
the internet start zram as /var/tmp.
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-838198-start-0.html
Let's promote zram and enhance/maintain it instead of removing.

Some users need more than 64 partitions per device. Rather than simply
increasing the number of partitions, switch to the dynamic partition
allocation scheme.
This means that minor numbers are not stable across boots, but since major
numbers aren't either, I cannot see this being a significant problem.

This attempts to delete all IO queues at the same time asynchronously on
shutdown. This is necessary for a present device that is not responding;
a shutdown operation previously would take 2 minutes per queue-pair
to timeout before moving on to the next queue, making a device removal
appear to take a very long time or "hung" as reported by users.
In the previous worst case, a removal may be stuck forever until a kill
signal is given if there are more than 32 queue pairs since it would run
out of admin command IDs after over an hour of timed out sync commands
(admin queue depth is 64).
This patch will wait for the admin command timeout for all commands to
complete, so the worst case now for an unresponsive controller is 60
seconds, though that still seems like a long time.
Since this adds another way to take queues offline, some duplicate code
resulted so I moved these into more convienient functions.

[make functions static, correct line length and whitespace issues]

This adds checks to see if the nvme pci device was removed. The check
reads the status register for the value of -1, which it should never be
unless the device is no longer present.
If a user performs a surprise removal on an nvme device, the driver will
be notified either by the pci driver remove callback if the platform's
slot is capable of this event, or via reading the device BAR status
register, which will indicate controller failure and trigger a reset.
Either way, the device is not present so all outstanding commands would
timeout. This will not send queue deletion commands to a drive that
isn't present and fail after ioremap, significantly speeding up surprise
removal; previously this took over 2 minutes per IO queue pair created,
but this will complete removing the device within a few seconds.

Instead of relying on pool fields in ceph_file_layout (for mapping) and
ceph_pg (for enconding), start using ceph_object_locator (oloc)
abstraction. Note that userspace oloc currently consists of pool, key,
nspace and hash fields, while this one contains only a pool. This is
OK, because at this point we only send (i.e. encode) olocs and never
have to receive (i.e. decode) them.
This makes keeping a copy of ceph_file_layout in every osd request
unnecessary, so ceph_osd_request::r_file_layout field is nuked.

- FIFO event channels. Key advantages: support for over 100,000 events (2^17),
16 different event priorities, improved fairness in event latency through
the use of FIFOs.
- Xen PVH support. "It’s a fully PV kernel mode, running with paravirtualized
disk and network, paravirtualized interrupts and timers, no emulated devices
of any kind (and thus no qemu), no BIOS or legacy boot — but instead of
requiring PV MMU, it uses the HVM hardware extensions to virtualize the
pagetables, as well as system calls and other privileged operations."
(from "The Paravirtualization Spectrum, Part 2: From poles to a spectrum")
Bug-fixes:
- Fixes in balloon driver (refactor and make it work under ARM)
- Allow xenfb to be used in HVM guests.
- Allow xen_platform_pci=0 to work properly.
- Refactors in event channels.

Pull Xen updates from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk:
"Two major features that Xen community is excited about:
The first is event channel scalability by David Vrabel - we switch
over from an two-level per-cpu bitmap of events (IRQs) - to an FIFO
queue with priorities. This lets us be able to handle more events,
have lower latency, and better scalability. Good stuff.
The other is PVH by Mukesh Rathor. In short, PV is a mode where the
kernel lets the hypervisor program page-tables, segments, etc. With
EPT/NPT capabilities in current processors, the overhead of doing this
in an HVM (Hardware Virtual Machine) container is much lower than the
hypervisor doing it for us.
In short we let a PV guest run without doing page-table, segment,
syscall, etc updates through the hypervisor - instead it is all done
within the guest container. It is a "hybrid" PV - hence the 'PVH'
name - a PV guest within an HVM container.
The major benefits are less code to deal with - for example we only
use one function from the the pv_mmu_ops (which has 39 function
calls); faster performance for syscall (no context switches into the
hypervisor); less traps on various operations; etc.
It is still being baked - the ABI is not yet set in stone. But it is
pretty awesome and we are excited about it.
Lastly, there are some changes to ARM code - you should get a simple
conflict which has been resolved in #linux-next.
In short, this pull has awesome features.
Features:
- FIFO event channels. Key advantages: support for over 100,000
events (2^17), 16 different event priorities, improved fairness in
event latency through the use of FIFOs.
- Xen PVH support. "It’s a fully PV kernel mode, running with
