2009-01-30block: silently error an unsupported barrier bioJens Axboe
This fixes a "regression" from 2.6.28, where the barrier probes that file systems may do would trigger additional end request warnings in dmesg. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

2009-01-30block: add bio_rw_flagged() for testing bio->bi_rwJens Axboe
The existing functions for checking bio->bi_rw are badly named. So lets mirror what we do for bio->bi_flags testing, use a properly named function so that it's immediately obvious what is being tested. Maintain compatability names for the old macros, eventually we'll get rid of these. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

2009-01-30block: export SSD/non-rotational queue flag through sysfsBartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz
For some devices (i.e. CFA ATA) we can't reliably detect whether the device is of rotational or non-rotational type so we need to leave the final decision about this setting to the user-space. As a bonus do a minor CodingStyle fixup in queue_nomerges_store().

With the previous Emacs tips example the kernel style was made available for files in the kernel-tree only. This patch updates the tip to add a separate cc-mode indent style ("linux-tabs-only").

2009-01-29epoll: drop max_user_instances and rely only on max_user_watchesDavide Libenzi
Linus suggested to put limits where the money is, and max_user_watches already does that w/out the need of max_user_instances. That has the advantage to mitigate the potential DoS while allowing pretty generous default behavior. Allowing top 4% of low memory (per user) to be allocated in epoll watches, we have: LOMEM MAX_WATCHES (per user) 512MB ~178000 1GB ~356000 2GB ~712000 A box with 512MB of lomem, will meet some challenge in hitting 180K watches, socket buffers math teaches us. No more max_user_instances limits then.

2009-01-29alpha: fix the BUG() macroIvan Kokshaysky
The commit "alpha: teach the compiler that BUG doesn't return" (ed6b9b97f42c091630335bfb71a2931e6f86388b) moved the asm code into inline function which takes __FILE__ and __LINE__ as arguments. This violates asm constrains there ("i" - an immediate operand with constant value), so that compile may result in warning or error, depending on compiler version. Just adding an infinite loop to the BUG() is sufficient.

2009-01-29memcg: get/put parents at create/freeDaisuke Nishimura
The lifetime of struct cgroup and struct mem_cgroup is different and mem_cgroup has its own reference count for handling references from swap_cgroup. This causes strange problem that the parent mem_cgroup dies while child mem_cgroup alive, and this problem causes a bug in case of use_hierarchy==1 because res_counter_uncharge climbs up the tree.

2009-01-29Fix OOPS in mmap_region() when merging adjacent VM_LOCKED file segmentsLinus Torvalds
As of commit ba470de43188cdbff795b5da43a1474523c6c2fb ("map: handle mlocked pages during map, remap, unmap") we now use the 'vma' variable at the end of mmap_region() to handle the page-in of newly mapped mlocked pages. However, if we merged adjacent vma's together, the vma we're using may be stale. We historically consciously avoided using it after the merge operation, but that got overlooked when redoing the locked page handling. This commit simplifies mmap_region() by doing any vma merges early, avoiding the issue entirely, and 'vma' will always be valid. As pointed out by Hugh Dickins, this depends on any drivers that change the page offset of flags to have set one of the VM_SPECIAL bits (so that they cannot trigger the early merge logic), but that's true in general.
