powerpc: Fix deadlock in icswx code

2011-11-11T17:37:11+00:00

commit 8bdafa39a47265bc029838b35cc6585f69224afa upstream.

The icswx code introduced an A-B B-A deadlock:

     CPU0                    CPU1
     ----                    ----
lock(&anon_vma->mutex);
                             lock(&mm->mmap_sem);
                             lock(&anon_vma->mutex);
lock(&mm->mmap_sem);

Instead of using the mmap_sem to keep mm_users constant, take the
page table spinlock.

powerpc/eeh: Fix /proc/ppc64/eeh creation

2011-11-11T17:37:11+00:00

commit 8feaa43494cee5e938fd5a57b9e9bf1c827e6ccd upstream.

Since commit 188917e183cf9ad0374b571006d0fc6d48a7f447, /proc/ppc64 is a
symlink to /proc/powerpc/. That means that creating /proc/ppc64/eeh will
end up with a unaccessible file, that is not listed under /proc/powerpc/
and, then, not listed under /proc/ppc64/.

Creating /proc/powerpc/eeh fixes that problem and maintain the
compatibility intended with the ppc64 symlink.

powerpc/pseries: Avoid spurious error during hotplug CPU add

2011-11-11T17:37:10+00:00

commit 9c740025c51a26ab00192cfc464064d4ccbfe3fc upstream.

During hotplug CPU add we get the following error:

Unexpected Error (0) returned from configure-connector

ibm,configure-connector returns 0 for configuration complete, so
catch this and avoid the error.

powerpc: Fix oops when echoing bad values to /sys/devices/system/memory/probe

2011-11-11T17:37:10+00:00

commit a11940978bd598e65996b4f807cf4904793f7025 upstream.

If we echo an address the hypervisor doesn't like to
/sys/devices/system/memory/probe we oops the box:

# echo 0x10000000000 > /sys/devices/system/memory/probe

kernel BUG at arch/powerpc/mm/hash_utils_64.c:541!

The backtrace is:

create_section_mapping
arch_add_memory
add_memory
memory_probe_store
sysdev_class_store
sysfs_write_file
vfs_write
SyS_write

In create_section_mapping we BUG if htab_bolt_mapping returned
an error. A better approach is to return an error which will
propagate back to userspace.

Rerunning the test with this patch applied:

# echo 0x10000000000 > /sys/devices/system/memory/probe
-bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument

powerpc/numa: Remove double of_node_put in hot_add_node_scn_to_nid

2011-11-11T17:37:09+00:00

commit 6083184269fd723affca4f6340e491950267622a upstream.

During memory hotplug testing, I got the following warning:

ERROR: Bad of_node_put() on /memory@0

of_node_release
kref_put
of_node_put
of_find_node_by_type
hot_add_node_scn_to_nid
hot_add_scn_to_nid
memory_add_physaddr_to_nid
...

of_find_node_by_type() loop does the of_node_put for us so we only
need the handle the case where we terminate the loop early.

As suggested by Stephen Rothwell we can do the of_node_put
unconditionally outside of the loop since of_node_put handles a
NULL argument fine.

commit b35a35b556f5e6b7993ad0baf20173e75c09ce8c upstream.

This avoids duplicating the function in every arch gup_fast.

s390: gup_huge_pmd() return 0 if pte changes

2011-11-11T17:36:47+00:00

commit 0693bc9ce2cc4f6a1b9c3c05790fc149a74c0b87 upstream.

s390 didn't return 0 in that case, if it's rolling back the *nr pointer it
should also return zero to avoid adding pages to the array at the wrong
offset.

s390: gup_huge_pmd() support THP tail recounting

2011-11-11T17:36:47+00:00

commit 220a2eb228d032acde60e9fd044ca802706ff583 upstream.

Up to this point the code assumed old refcounting for hugepages (pre-thp).
This updates the code directly to the thp mapcount tail page refcounting.
