Pull networking update from David Miller:
 "A couple weeks of bug fixing in there.  The largest chunk is all the
  broken crap Amerigo Wang found in the netpoll layer."

 1) netpoll and it's users has several serious bugs:
    a) uses GFP_KERNEL with locks held
    b) interfaces requiring interrupts disabled are called with them
       enabled
    c) and vice versa
    d) VLAN tag demuxing, as per all other RX packet input paths, is not
       applied

    All from Amerigo Wang.

 2) Hopefully cure the ipv4 mapped ipv6 address TCP early demux bugs for
    good, from Neal Cardwell.

 3) Unlike AF_UNIX, AF_PACKET sockets don't set a default credentials
    when the user doesn't specify one explicitly during sendmsg().
    Instead we attach an empty (zero) SCM credential block which is
    definitely not what we want.  Fix from Eric Dumazet.

 4) IPv6 illegally invokes netdevice notifiers with RCU lock held, fix
    from Ben Hutchings.

 5) inet_csk_route_child_sock() checks wrong inet options pointer, fix
    from Christoph Paasch.

 6) When AF_PACKET is used for transmit, packet loopback doesn't behave
    properly when a socket fanout is enabled, from Eric Leblond.

 7) On bluetooth l2cap channel create failure, we leak the socket, from
    Jaganath Kanakkassery.

 8) Fix all the netprio file handling bugs found by Al Viro, from John
    Fastabend.

 9) Several error return and NULL deref bug fixes in networking drivers
    from Julia Lawall.

10) A large smattering of struct padding et al.  kernel memory leaks to
    userspace found of Mathias Krause.

11) Conntrack expections in netfilter can access an uninitialized timer,
    fix from Pablo Neira Ayuso.

12) Several netfilter SIP tracker bug fixes from Patrick McHardy.

13) IPSEC ipv6 routes are not initialized correctly all the time,
    resulting in an OOPS in inet_putpeer().  Also from Patrick McHardy.

14) Bridging does rcu_dereference() outside of RCU protected area, from
    Stephen Hemminger.

15) Fix routing cache removal performance regression when looking up
    output routes that have a local destination.  From Zheng Yan.

mm: compaction: Abort async compaction if locks are contended or taking too long

2012-08-21T23:45:03+00:00

Jim Schutt reported a problem that pointed at compaction contending
heavily on locks.  The workload is straight-forward and in his own words;

	The systems in question have 24 SAS drives spread across 3 HBAs,
	running 24 Ceph OSD instances, one per drive.  FWIW these servers
	are dual-socket Intel 5675 Xeons w/48 GB memory.  I've got ~160
	Ceph Linux clients doing dd simultaneously to a Ceph file system
	backed by 12 of these servers.

Early in the test everything looks fine

There was other data but primarily it is all showing that compaction is
contended heavily on the zone->lock and zone->lru_lock.

commit [b2eef8c0: mm: compaction: minimise the time IRQs are disabled
while isolating pages for migration] noted that it was possible for
migration to hold the lru_lock for an excessive amount of time. Very
broadly speaking this patch expands the concept.

This patch introduces compact_checklock_irqsave() to check if a lock
is contended or the process needs to be scheduled. If either condition
is true then async compaction is aborted and the caller is informed.
The page allocator will fail a THP allocation if compaction failed due
to contention. This patch also introduces compact_trylock_irqsave()
which will acquire the lock only if it is not contended and the process
does not need to schedule.
