mm: fix wrong argument of migrate_huge_pages() in soft_offline_huge_page()

2012-08-15T14:52:43+00:00

commit dc32f63453f56d07a1073a697dcd843dd3098c09 upstream. Commit a6bc32b89922 ("mm: compaction: introduce sync-light migration for use by compaction") changed the declaration of migrate_pages() and migrate_huge_pages(). But it missed changing the argument of migrate_huge_pages() in soft_offline_huge_page(). In this case, we should call migrate_huge_pages() with MIGRATE_SYNC. Additionally, there is a mismatch between type the of argument and the function declaration for migrate_pages().

x86/mce: Fix siginfo_t->si_addr value for non-recoverable memory faults

2012-08-09T15:22:51+00:00

commit 6751ed65dc6642af64f7b8a440a75563c8aab7ae upstream. In commit dad1743e5993f1 ("x86/mce: Only restart instruction after machine check recovery if it is safe") we fixed mce_notify_process() to force a signal to the current process if it was not restartable (RIPV bit not set in MCG_STATUS). But doing it here means that the process doesn't get told the virtual address of the fault via siginfo_t->si_addr. This would prevent application level recovery from the fault. Make a new MF_MUST_KILL flag bit for memory_failure() et al. to use so that we will provide the right information with the signal.

mm/memory_failure: let the compiler add the function name

2012-05-29T23:22:18+00:00

These things tend to get out of sync with time so let the compiler automatically enter the current function name using __func__. No functional change. Signed-off-by: Borislav Petkov Acked-by: Andi Kleen Cc: David Rientjes Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

thp: allow a hwpoisoned head page to be put back to LRU

2012-03-22T00:54:58+00:00

Andrea Arcangeli pointed out to me that a check in __memory_failure() which was intended to prevent THP tail pages from being checked for the absence of the PG_lru flag (something that is always the case), was also preventing THP head pages from being checked. A THP head page could actually benefit from the call to shake_page() by ending up being put back to a LRU, provided it had been waiting in a pagevec array. Andrea suggested that the "!PageTransCompound(p)" in the if-statement should be replaced by a "!PageTransTail(p)", thus allowing THP head pages to be checked and possibly shaken.

mm: compaction: introduce sync-light migration for use by compaction

2012-01-13T04:13:09+00:00

This patch adds a lightweight sync migrate operation MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT mode that avoids writing back pages to backing storage. Async compaction maps to MIGRATE_ASYNC while sync compaction maps to MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT. For other migrate_pages users such as memory hotplug, MIGRATE_SYNC is used. This avoids sync compaction stalling for an excessive length of time, particularly when copying files to a USB stick where there might be a large number of dirty pages backed by a filesystem that does not support ->writepages.

HWPOISON: Add code to handle "action required" errors.

2012-01-03T20:06:38+00:00

Add new flag bit "MF_ACTION_REQUIRED" to be used by machine check code to force a signal with si_code = BUS_MCEERR_AR in the case where the error occurs in processor execution context. Pass the flags argument along call chain: memory_failure() hwpoison_user_mappings() kill_procs() kill_proc() Drop the "_ao" suffix from kill_procs_ao() and kill_proc_ao() since they can now handle "action required" as well as "action optional" errors.

HWPOISON: Clean up memory_failure() vs. __memory_failure()

2012-01-03T20:06:32+00:00

There is only one caller of memory_failure(), all other users call __memory_failure() and pass in the flags argument explicitly. The lone user of memory_failure() will soon need to pass flags too. Add flags argument to the callsite in mce.c. Delete the old memory_failure() function, and then rename __memory_failure() without the leading "__". Provide clearer message when action optional memory errors are ignored. Acked-by: Borislav Petkov Signed-off-by: Tony Luck
