Now I think the main problem is having the filesystem block (and do IO) in
inode reclaim. The problem is that this doesn't get accounted well and
penalizes a random allocator with a big latency spike caused by work
generated from elsewhere.
I think the best idea would be to avoid this. By design if possible, or
by deferring the hard work to an asynchronous context. If the latter,
then the fs would probably want to throttle creation of new work with
queue size of the deferred work, but let's not get into those details.
Anyway, the other obvious thing we looked at is the iprune_mutex which is
causing the cascading blocking. We could turn this into an rwsem to
improve concurrency. It is unreasonable to totally ban all potentially
slow or blocking operations in inode reclaim, so I think this is a cheap
way to get a small improvement.
This doesn't solve the whole problem of course. The process doing inode
reclaim will still take the latency hit, and concurrent processes may end
up contending on filesystem locks. So fs developers should keep these
problems in mind.

Using the type bool (instead of int) for the __print_once flag in the
printk_once() macro matches the intent of the code better, and allows the
compiler to generate smaller code; eg a typical callsite with gcc 4.3.3 on
i386:
add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/2 up/down: 0/-6 (-6)
function old new delta
static.__print_once 4 1 -3
get_cpu_vendor 146 143 -3
Saving 6 bytes of object size per callsite by slightly improving the
readability of the source seems like a win to me.

The act of a process becoming a session leader is a useful signal to a
supervising init daemon such as Upstart.
While a daemon will normally do this as part of the process of becoming a
daemon, it is rare for its children to do so. When the children do, it is
nearly always a sign that the child should be considered detached from the
parent and not supervised along with it.
The poster-child example is OpenSSH; the per-login children call setsid()
so that they may control the pty connected to them. If the primary daemon
dies or is restarted, we do not want to consider the per-login children
and want to respawn the primary daemon without killing the children.
This patch adds a new PROC_SID_EVENT and associated structure to the
proc_event event_data union, it arranges for this to be emitted when the
special PIDTYPE_SID pid is set.

This patch can remove spinlock from struct call_function_data, the
reasons are below:
1: add a new interface for cpumask named cpumask_test_and_clear_cpu(),
it can atomically test and clear specific cpu, we can use it instead
of cpumask_test_cpu() and cpumask_clear_cpu() and no need data->lock
to protect those in generic_smp_call_function_interrupt().
2: in smp_call_function_many(), after csd_lock() return, the current's
cfd_data is deleted from call_function list, so it not have race
between other cpus, then cfs_data is only used in
smp_call_function_many() that must disable preemption and not from
a hardware interrupthandler or from a bottom half handler to call,
only the correspond cpu can use it, so it not have race in current
cpu, no need cfs_data->lock to protect it.
3: after 1 and 2, cfs_data->lock is only use to protect cfs_data->refs in
generic_smp_call_function_interrupt(), so we can define cfs_data->refs
to atomic_t, and no need cfs_data->lock any more.

The user mode helper code has a race in it. call_usermodehelper_exec()
takes an allocated subprocess_info structure, which it passes to a
workqueue, and then passes it to a kernel thread which it creates, after
which it calls complete to signal to the caller of
call_usermodehelper_exec() that it can free the subprocess_info struct.
But since we use that structure in the created thread, we can't call
complete from __call_usermodehelper(), which is where we create the kernel
thread. We need to call complete() from within the kernel thread and then
not use subprocess_info afterward in the case of UMH_WAIT_EXEC. Tested
successfully by me.

__estimate_accuracy() was prone to integer overflow, for example if *tv ==
{2147, 483648000} on a 32 bit computer (or even for delays as small as
{429, 500000000} if the task is niced).
Because the result was already forced between 0 and 100ms, the effect of
the overflow was not too problematic, but the use of the hrtimer range
feature was not optimal in overflow cases.
This patch ensures that there can not be an integer overflow in this
function.

An else cannot start a type, it would have to be within a block after the

FLEX_ARRAY_INIT(element_size, total_nr_elements) cannot determine if
either parameter is valid, so flex arrays which are statically allocated
with this interface can easily become corrupted or reference beyond its
allocated memory.
This removes FLEX_ARRAY_INIT() as a struct flex_array initializer since no
initializer may perform the required checking. Instead, the array is now
defined with a new interface:
DEFINE_FLEX_ARRAY(name, element_size, total_nr_elements)
This may be prefixed with `static' for file scope.
This interface includes compile-time checking of the parameters to ensure
they are valid. Since the validity of both element_size and
total_nr_elements depend on FLEX_ARRAY_BASE_SIZE and FLEX_ARRAY_PART_SIZE,
the kernel build will fail if either of these predefined values changes
such that the array parameters are no longer valid.
Since BUILD_BUG_ON() requires compile time constants, several of the
static inline functions that were once local to lib/flex_array.c had to be
moved to include/linux/flex_array.h.

Add a new function to the flex_array API:
int flex_array_shrink(struct flex_array *fa)
This function will free all unused second-level pages. Since elements are
now poisoned if they are not allocated with __GFP_ZERO, it's possible to
identify parts that consist solely of unused elements.
flex_array_shrink() returns the number of pages freed.

Newly initialized flex_array's and/or flex_array_part's are now poisoned
with a new poison value, FLEX_ARRAY_FREE. It's value is similar to
POISON_FREE used in the various slab allocators, but is different to
distinguish between flex array's poisoned kmem and slab allocator poisoned
kmem.
This will allow us to identify flex_array_part's that only contain free
elements (and free them with an addition to the flex_array API). This
could also be extended in the future to identify `get' uses on elements
that have not been `put'.
If __GFP_ZERO is passed for a part's gfp mask, the poisoning is avoided.
These elements are considered to be in-use since they have been
initialized.

Add a new function to the flex_array API:
int flex_array_clear(struct flex_array *fa,
unsigned int element_nr)
This function will zero the element at element_nr in the flex_array.
Although this is equivalent to using flex_array_put() and passing a
pointer to zero'd memory, flex_array_clear() does not require such a
pointer to memory that would most likely need to be allocated on the
caller's stack which could be significantly large depending on
element_size.
