mm: split 'tlb_flush_mmu()' into tlb flushing and memory freeing parts

2014-04-25T23:05:40Z

The mmu-gather operation 'tlb_flush_mmu()' has done two things: the actual tlb flush operation, and the batched freeing of the pages that the TLB entries pointed at. This splits the operation into separate phases, so that the forced batched flushing done by zap_pte_range() can now do the actual TLB flush while still holding the page table lock, but delay the batched freeing of all the pages to after the lock has been dropped. This in turn allows us to avoid a race condition between set_page_dirty() (as called by zap_pte_range() when it finds a dirty shared memory pte) and page_mkclean(): because we now flush all the dirty page data from the TLB's while holding the pte lock, page_mkclean() will be held up walking the (recently cleaned) page tables until after the TLB entries have been flushed from all CPU's.

um: Memory corruption on startup

2014-04-20T21:57:21Z

The reverse case of this race (you must msync before read) is well known. This is the not so common one. It can be triggered only on systems which do a lot of task switching and only at UML startup. If you are starting 200+ UMLs ~ 0.5% will always die without this fix. Signed-off-by: Anton Ivanov [rw: minor whitespace fixes] Signed-off-by: Richard Weinberger

um: Missing pipe handling

2014-04-20T21:13:30Z

UML does not handle sigpipe. As a result when running it under expect or redirecting the IO from the console to an external program it will crash if the program stops or exits. Signed-off-by: Anton Ivanov Signed-off-by: Richard Weinberger

uml: Simplify tempdir logic.

2014-04-20T21:10:44Z

Inferring the mount hierarchy correctly from /proc/mounts is hard when MS_MOVE may have been used, and the previous code did it wrongly. This change simplifies the logic to only require that /dev/shm be _on_ tmpfs (which can be checked trivially with statfs) rather than that it be a _mountpoint_ of tmpfs, since there isn't a compelling reason to be that strict. We also now check for tmpfs on whatever directory we ultimately use so that the user is better informed. This change also moves the more standard TMPDIR environment variable check ahead of the others. Applies to 3.12. Signed-off-by: Tristan Schmelcher Signed-off-by: Richard Weinberger
