Teach the dentry slab shrinker to aggressively shrink parent dentries when
shrinking the dentry cache.
This is done to attempt to improve the situation where the dentry slab cache
gets a lot of internal fragmentation due to pages containing directory
dentries. It is expected that this change will cause some of those dentries
to be reaped earlier, and with less scanning.
Needs careful testing.

The time shrink_dcache_parent() takes, grows quadratically with the depth
of the tree under 'parent'. This starts to get noticable at about 10,000.
These kinds of depths don't occur normally, and filesystems which invoke
shrink_dcache_parent() via d_invalidate() seem to have other depth
dependent timings, so it's not even easy to expose this problem.
However with FUSE it's easy to create a deep tree and d_invalidate()
will also get called. This can make a syscall hang for a very long
time.
This is the original discovery of the problem by Russ Cox:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.file-systems.fuse.devel/3826
The following patch fixes the quadratic behavior, by optionally allowing
prune_dcache() to prune ancestors of a dentry in one go, instead of doing
it one at a time.
Common code in dput() and prune_one_dentry() is extracted into a new helper
function d_kill().
shrink_dcache_parent() as well as shrink_dcache_sb() are converted to use
the ancestry-pruner option. Only for shrink_dcache_memory() is this
behavior not desirable, so it keeps using the old algorithm.

This past week I was playing around with that pahole tool
(http://oops.ghostprotocols.net:81/acme/dwarves/) and looking at the size
of various struct in the kernel. I was surprised by the size of the
task_struct on x86_64, approaching 4K. I looked through the fields in
task_struct and found that a number of them were declared as "unsigned
long" rather than "unsigned int" despite them appearing okay as 32-bit
sized fields. On x86_64 "unsigned long" ends up being 8 bytes in size and
forces 8 byte alignment. Is there a reason there a reason they are
"unsigned long"?
The patch below drops the size of the struct from 3808 bytes (60 64-byte
cachelines) to 3760 bytes (59 64-byte cachelines). A couple other fields
in the task struct take a signficant amount of space:
struct thread_struct thread; 688
struct held_lock held_locks[30]; 1680
CONFIG_LOCKDEP is turned on in the .config

Andreas says:
This patch is now treating timestamps with the high bit set as negative
times (before Jan 1, 1970). This means we lose 1/2 of the possible range
of timestamps (lopping off 68 years before unix timestamp overflow -
now only 30 years away :-) to handle the extremely rare case of setting
timestamps into the distant past.
If we are only interested in fixing the underflow case, we could just
limit the values to 0 instead of storing negative values. At worst this
will skew the timestamp by a few hours for timezones in the far east
(files would still show Jan 1, 1970 in "ls -l" output).
That said, it seems 32-bit systems (mine at least) allow files to be set
into the past (01/01/1907 works fine) so it seems this patch is bringing
the x86_64 behaviour into sync with other kernels.
On the plus side, we have a patch that is ready to add nanosecond timestamps
to ext3 and as an added bonus adds 2 high bits to the on-disk timestamp so
this extends the maximum date to 2242.

This patch is add white list into modpost.c for some functions and
ia64's section to fix section mismatchs.
sparse_index_alloc() and zone_wait_table_init() calls bootmem allocator
at boot time, and kmalloc/vmalloc at hotplug time. If config
memory hotplug is on, there are references of bootmem allocater(init text)
from them (normal text). This is cause of section mismatch.
Bootmem is called by many functions and it must be
used only at boot time. I think __init of them should keep for
section mismatch check. So, I would like to register sparse_index_alloc()
and zone_wait_table_init() into white list.
In addition, ia64's .machvec section is function table of some platform
dependent code. It is mixture of .init.text and normal text. These
reference of __init functions are valid too.

There are two problems with the existing redzone implementation.
Firstly, it's causing misalignment of structures which contain a 64-bit
integer, such as netfilter's 'struct ipt_entry' -- causing netfilter
modules to fail to load because of the misalignment. (In particular, the
first check in
net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.c::check_entry_size_and_hooks())
On ppc32 and sparc32, amongst others, __alignof__(uint64_t) == 8.
With slab debugging, we use 32-bit redzones. And allocated slab objects
aren't sufficiently aligned to hold a structure containing a uint64_t.
By _just_ setting ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN to __alignof__(u64) we'd disable
redzone checks on those architectures. By using 64-bit redzones we avoid that
loss of debugging, and also fix the other problem while we're at it.
When investigating this, I noticed that on 64-bit platforms we're using a
32-bit value of RED_ACTIVE/RED_INACTIVE in the 64-bit memory location set
aside for the redzone. Which means that the four bytes immediately before
or after the allocated object at 0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00 for LE and BE
machines, respectively. Which is probably not the most useful choice of
poison value.
One way to fix both of those at once is just to switch to 64-bit
redzones in all cases.

The SCSI stack requires low level drivers to register and
unregister devices. For zfcp this leads to the situation where
zfcp calls the SCSI stack, the SCSI tries to scan the new device
and the scan SCSI command fails. This would require the zfcp erp,
but the erp thread is already blocked in the register call.
The fix is to make sure that the calls from the ERP thread to
the SCSI stack do not block the ERP thread. In detail:
1) Use a workqueue to avoid blocking of the scsi_scan_target calls.
2) When removing a unit make sure that no scsi_scan_target call is
pending.
3) Replace scsi_flush_work with scsi_target_unblock. This avoids
blocking and has the same result.

For each request that is sent to the FCP adapter, zfcp allocates
memory. Status information and data that is being read from the
device is written to this memory by the hardware. After that,
the hardware signals this via the response queue and zfcp
continues processing.
Now, if zfcp detects that there is a signal for an incoming
response from the hardware, but there is no outstanding request
for that request id, then some memory that can be in use anywhere
in the system has just been overwritten. This should never happen,
but if it does, stop the system with a panic.
