commit 9f15bde671355c351cf20d9f879004b234353100 upstream.

It was reported that a kernel crash happened in mem_cgroup_iter(), which
can be triggered if the legacy cgroup-v1 non-hierarchical mode is used.

Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 6b6b6b6b6b6b8f
......
Call trace:
  mem_cgroup_iter+0x2e0/0x6d4

  mem_cgroup_iter():
      ......
      if (css_tryget(css))    &lt;-- crash here
	    break;
      ......

The crashing reason is that mem_cgroup_iter() uses the memcg object whose
pointer is stored in iter-&gt;position, which has been freed before and
filled with POISON_FREE(0x6b).

And the root cause of the use-after-free issue is that
invalidate_reclaim_iterators() fails to reset the value of iter-&gt;position
to NULL when the css of the memcg is released in non- hierarchical mode.

If there is heavy memory pressure, page allocation with __GFP_NOWAIT
fails easily although it's order-0 request.  I got below warning 9 times

__memcg_schedule_kmem_cache_create() tries to create a shadow slab cache
and the worker allocation failure is not really critical because we will
retry on the next kmem charge.  We might miss some charges but that
shouldn't be critical.  The excessive allocation failure report is not
very helpful.

the radix_tree_root.  Rename the address_space -&gt;page_tree to -&gt;i_pages,
since we don't really care that it's a tree.

<id>urn:sha1:4eaf431f6f71bbed40a4c733ffe93a7e8cedf9d9</id>
<content type='text'>
syzbot has triggered a NULL ptr dereference when allocation fault
injection enforces a failure and alloc_mem_cgroup_per_node_info
initializes memcg-&gt;nodeinfo only half way through.

But __mem_cgroup_free still tries to free all per-node data and
dereferences pn-&gt;lruvec_stat_cpu unconditioanlly even if the specific
per-node data hasn't been initialized.

The bug is quite unlikely to hit because small allocations do not fail
and we would need quite some numa nodes to make struct
mem_cgroup_per_node large enough to cross the costly order.

<content type='text'>
Commit a983b5ebee57 ("mm: memcontrol: fix excessive complexity in
memory.stat reporting") added per-cpu drift to all memory cgroup stats
and events shown in memory.stat and memory.events.

For memory.stat this is acceptable.  But memory.events issues file
notifications, and somebody polling the file for changes will be
confused when the counters in it are unchanged after a wakeup.

Luckily, the events in memory.events - MEMCG_LOW, MEMCG_HIGH, MEMCG_MAX,
MEMCG_OOM - are sufficiently rare and high-level that we don't need
per-cpu buffering for them: MEMCG_HIGH and MEMCG_MAX would be the most
frequent, but they're counting invocations of reclaim, which is a
complex operation that touches many shared cachelines.

This splits memory.events from the generic VM events and tracks them in
their own, unbuffered atomic counters.  That's also cleaner, as it
eliminates the ugly enum nesting of VM and cgroup events.

<title>memcg, thp: do not invoke oom killer on thp charges</title>

<id>urn:sha1:2a70f6a76bb86d1f39a34b7764f6dcc4257b0356</id>
<content type='text'>
A THP memcg charge can trigger the oom killer since 2516035499b9 ("mm,
thp: remove __GFP_NORETRY from khugepaged and madvised allocations").
We have used an explicit __GFP_NORETRY previously which ruled the OOM
killer automagically.

Memcg charge path should be semantically compliant with the allocation
path and that means that if we do not trigger the OOM killer for costly
orders which should do the same in the memcg charge path as well.
Otherwise we are forcing callers to distinguish the two and use
different gfp masks which is both non-intuitive and bug prone.  As soon
as we get a costly high order kmalloc user we even do not have any means
to tell the memcg specific gfp mask to prevent from OOM because the
charging is deep within guts of the slab allocator.

The unexpected memcg OOM on THP has already been fixed upstream by
9d3c3354bb85 ("mm, thp: do not cause memcg oom for thp") but this is a
one-off fix rather than a generic solution.  Teach mem_cgroup_oom to
bail out on costly order requests to fix the THP issue as well as any
other costly OOM eligible allocations to be added in future.

Also revert 9d3c3354bb85 because special gfp for THP is no longer
needed.

<title>vfs: do bulk POLL* -&gt; EPOLL* replacement</title>

<id>urn:sha1:a9a08845e9acbd224e4ee466f5c1275ed50054e8</id>
<content type='text'>
This is the mindless scripted replacement of kernel use of POLL*
variables as described by Al, done by this script:

    for V in IN OUT PRI ERR RDNORM RDBAND WRNORM WRBAND HUP RDHUP NVAL MSG; do
        L=`git grep -l -w POLL$V | grep -v '^t' | grep -v /um/ | grep -v '^sa' | grep -v '/poll.h$'|grep -v '^D'`
        for f in $L; do sed -i "-es/^\([^\"]*\)\(\&lt;POLL$V\&gt;\)/\\1E\\2/" $f; done
    done

with de-mangling cleanups yet to come.

NOTE! On almost all architectures, the EPOLL* constants have the same
values as the POLL* constants do.  But they keyword here is "almost".
For various bad reasons they aren't the same, and epoll() doesn't
actually work quite correctly in some cases due to this on Sparc et al.

The next patch from Al will sort out the final differences, and we
should be all done.
