2015-05-10new ->follow_link() and ->put_link() calling conventionsAl Viro
a) instead of storing the symlink body (via nd_set_link()) and returning an opaque pointer later passed to ->put_link(), ->follow_link() _stores_ that opaque pointer (into void * passed by address by caller) and returns the symlink body. Returning ERR_PTR() on error, NULL on jump (procfs magic symlinks) and pointer to symlink body for normal symlinks. Stored pointer is ignored in all cases except the last one. Storing NULL for opaque pointer (or not storing it at all) means no call of ->put_link(). b) the body used to be passed to ->put_link() implicitly (via nameidata). Now only the opaque pointer is. In the cases when we used the symlink body to free stuff, ->follow_link() now should store it as opaque pointer in addition to returning it. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

2015-04-17proc: show locks in /proc/pid/fdinfo/XAndrey Vagin
Let's show locks which are associated with a file descriptor in its fdinfo file. Currently we don't have a reliable way to determine who holds a lock. We can find some information in /proc/locks, but PID which is reported there can be wrong. For example, a process takes a lock, then forks a child and dies. In this case /proc/locks contains the parent pid, which can be reused by another process. $ cat /proc/locks ... 6: FLOCK ADVISORY WRITE 324 00:13:13431 0 EOF ... $ ps -C rpcbind PID TTY TIME CMD 332 ? 00:00:00 rpcbind $ cat /proc/332/fdinfo/4 pos: 0 flags: 0100000 mnt_id: 22 lock: 1: FLOCK ADVISORY WRITE 324 00:13:13431 0 EOF $ ls -l /proc/332/fd/4 lr-x------ 1 root root 64 Mar 5 14:43 /proc/332/fd/4 -> /run/rpcbind.lock $ ls -l /proc/324/fd/ total 0 lrwx------ 1 root root 64 Feb 27 14:50 0 -> /dev/pts/0 lrwx------ 1 root root 64 Feb 27 14:50 1 -> /dev/pts/0 lrwx------ 1 root root 64 Feb 27 14:49 2 -> /dev/pts/0 You can see that the process with the 324 pid doesn't hold the lock. This information is required for proper dumping and restoring file locks.

2015-04-15mm: new pfn_mkwrite same as page_mkwrite for VM_PFNMAPBoaz Harrosh
This will allow FS that uses VM_PFNMAP | VM_MIXEDMAP (no page structs) to get notified when access is a write to a read-only PFN. This can happen if we mmap() a file then first mmap-read from it to page-in a read-only PFN, than we mmap-write to the same page. We need this functionality to fix a DAX bug, where in the scenario above we fail to set ctime/mtime though we modified the file. An xfstest is attached to this patchset that shows the failure and the fix. (A DAX patch will follow) This functionality is extra important for us, because upon dirtying of a pmem page we also want to RDMA the page to a remote cluster node. We define a new pfn_mkwrite and do not reuse page_mkwrite because 1 - The name ;-) 2 - But mainly because it would take a very long and tedious audit of all page_mkwrite functions of VM_MIXEDMAP/VM_PFNMAP users. To make sure they do not now CRASH. For example current DAX code (which this is for) would crash. If we would want to reuse page_mkwrite, We will need to first patch all users, so to not-crash-on-no-page. Then enable this patch. But even if I did that I would not sleep so well at night. Adding a new vector is the safest thing to do, and is not that expensive. an extra pointer at a static function vector per driver. Also the new vector is better for performance, because else we Will call all current Kernel vectors, so to: check-ha-no-page-do-nothing and return. No need to call it from do_shared_fault because do_wp_page is called to change pte permissions anyway.

2015-02-12fs: proc: task_mmu: show page size in /proc/<pid>/numa_mapsRafael Aquini
The output of /proc/$pid/numa_maps is in terms of number of pages like anon=22 or dirty=54. Here's some output: 7f4680000000 default file=/hugetlb/bigfile anon=50 dirty=50 N0=50 7f7659600000 default file=/anon_hugepage\040(deleted) anon=50 dirty=50 N0=50 7fff8d425000 default stack anon=50 dirty=50 N0=50 Looks like we have a stack and a couple of anonymous hugetlbfs areas page which both use the same amount of memory. They don't. The 'bigfile' uses 1GB pages and takes up ~50GB of space. The anon_hugepage uses 2MB pages and takes up ~100MB of space while the stack uses normal 4k pages. You can go over to smaps to figure out what the page size _really_ is with KernelPageSize or MMUPageSize. But, I think this is a pretty nasty and counterintuitive interface as it stands. This patch introduces 'kernelpagesize_kB' line element to /proc/<pid>/numa_maps report file in order to help identifying the size of pages that are backing memory areas mapped by a given task. This is specially useful to help differentiating between HUGE and GIGANTIC page backed VMAs. This patch is based on Dave Hansen's proposal and reviewer's follow-ups taken from the following dicussion threads: * https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/9/21/454 * https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/12/20/66 Signed-off-by: Rafael Aquini <aquini@redhat.com> Cc: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Cc: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@intel.com> Acked-by: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

(peak RSS) Peak resident size of a process can be reset back to the process's current rss value by writing "5" to /proc/pid/clear_refs. The driving use-case for this would be getting the peak RSS value, which can be retrieved from the VmHWM field in /proc/pid/status, per benchmark iteration or test scenario.
