[PATCH] NETFILTER: Honour source routing for LVS-NAT

2006-12-02T00:12:35+00:00

For policy routing, packets originating from this machine itself may be routed differently to packets passing through. We want this packet to be routed as if it came from this machine itself. So re-compute the routing information using ip_route_me_harder(). This patch is derived from work by Ken Brownfield This patch (-stable version) also includes commit b4c4ed175ff0ee816df48571cfa9b73f521964b6 ([NETFILTER]: add type parameter to ip_route_me_harder), which is a precondition for the fix.

[PATCH] fix UFS superblock alignment issues

2006-11-19T03:28:00+00:00

ufs2 fails to mount on x86_64, claiming bad magic. This is because ufs_super_block_third's fs_un1 member is padded out by 4 bytes for 8-byte alignment, pushing down the rest of the struct. Forcing this to be packed solves it. I took a quick look over other on-disk structures and didn't immediately find other problems. I was able to mount & ls a populated ufs2 filesystem w/ this change.

[PATCH] vmscan: Fix temp_priority race

2006-11-04T01:33:50+00:00

The temp_priority field in zone is racy, as we can walk through a reclaim path, and just before we copy it into prev_priority, it can be overwritten (say with DEF_PRIORITY) by another reclaimer. The same bug is contained in both try_to_free_pages and balance_pgdat, but it is fixed slightly differently. In balance_pgdat, we keep a separate priority record per zone in a local array. In try_to_free_pages there is no need to do this, as the priority level is the same for all zones that we reclaim from. Impact of this bug is that temp_priority is copied into prev_priority, and setting this artificially high causes reclaimers to set distress artificially low. They then fail to reclaim mapped pages, when they are, in fact, under severe memory pressure (their priority may be as low as 0). This causes the OOM killer to fire incorrectly. From: Andrew Morton __zone_reclaim() isn't modifying zone->prev_priority. But zone->prev_priority is used in the decision whether or not to bring mapped pages onto the inactive list. Hence there's a risk here that __zone_reclaim() will fail because zone->prev_priority ir large (ie: low urgency) and lots of mapped pages end up stuck on the active list. Fix that up by decreasing (ie making more urgent) zone->prev_priority as __zone_reclaim() scans the zone's pages. This bug perhaps explains why ZONE_RECLAIM_PRIORITY was created. It should be possible to remove that now, and to just start out at DEF_PRIORITY?

[PATCH] SERIAL: Fix oops when removing suspended serial port

2006-11-04T01:33:46+00:00

[SERIAL] Fix oops when removing suspended serial port A serial card might have been removed when the system is resumed. This results in a suspended port being shut down, which results in the ports shutdown method being called twice in a row. This causes BUGs. Avoid this by tracking the suspended state separately from the initialised state.

zone_reclaim: dynamic slab reclaim

2006-10-13T20:23:22+00:00

http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=0ff38490c836dc379ff7ec45b10a15a662f4e5f6 Currently one can enable slab reclaim by setting an explicit option in /proc/sys/vm/zone_reclaim_mode. Slab reclaim is then used as a final option if the freeing of unmapped file backed pages is not enough to free enough pages to allow a local allocation. However, that means that the slab can grow excessively and that most memory of a node may be used by slabs. We have had a case where a machine with 46GB of memory was using 40-42GB for slab. Zone reclaim was effective in dealing with pagecache pages. However, slab reclaim was only done during global reclaim (which is a bit rare on NUMA systems). This patch implements slab reclaim during zone reclaim. Zone reclaim occurs if there is a danger of an off node allocation. At that point we 1. Shrink the per node page cache if the number of pagecache pages is more than min_unmapped_ratio percent of pages in a zone. 2. Shrink the slab cache if the number of the nodes reclaimable slab pages (patch depends on earlier one that implements that counter) are more than min_slab_ratio (a new /proc/sys/vm tunable). The shrinking of the slab cache is a bit problematic since it is not node specific. So we simply calculate what point in the slab we want to reach (current per node slab use minus the number of pages that neeed to be allocated) and then repeately run the global reclaim until that is unsuccessful or we have reached the limit. I hope we will have zone based slab reclaim at some point which will make that easier. The default for the min_slab_ratio is 5% Also remove the slab option from /proc/sys/vm/zone_reclaim_mode.
