2012-12-06tmpfs: fix shared mempolicy leakMel Gorman3-48/+16
This fixes a regression in 3.7-rc, which has since gone into stable. Commit 00442ad04a5e ("mempolicy: fix a memory corruption by refcount imbalance in alloc_pages_vma()") changed get_vma_policy() to raise the refcount on a shmem shared mempolicy; whereas shmem_alloc_page() went on expecting alloc_page_vma() to drop the refcount it had acquired. This deserves a rework: but for now fix the leak in shmem_alloc_page(). Hugh: shmem_swapin() did not need a fix, but surely it's clearer to use the same refcounting there as in shmem_alloc_page(), delete its onstack mempolicy, and the strange mpol_cond_copy() and __mpol_cond_copy() - those were invented to let swapin_readahead() make an unknown number of calls to alloc_pages_vma() with one mempolicy; but since 00442ad04a5e, alloc_pages_vma() has kept refcount in balance, so now no problem.

2012-12-06mm: vmscan: do not keep kswapd looping forever due to individual ↵Johannes Weiner1-16/+0
uncompactable zones When a zone meets its high watermark and is compactable in case of higher order allocations, it contributes to the percentage of the node's memory that is considered balanced. This requirement, that a node be only partially balanced, came about when kswapd was desparately trying to balance tiny zones when all bigger zones in the node had plenty of free memory. Arguably, the same should apply to compaction: if a significant part of the node is balanced enough to run compaction, do not get hung up on that tiny zone that might never get in shape. When the compaction logic in kswapd is reached, we know that at least 25% of the node's memory is balanced properly for compaction (see zone_balanced and pgdat_balanced). Remove the individual zone checks that restart the kswapd cycle. Otherwise, we may observe more endless looping in kswapd where the compaction code loops back to reclaim because of a single zone and reclaim does nothing because the node is considered balanced overall.

2012-12-06mm: compaction: validate pfn range passed to isolate_freepages_blockMel Gorman1-1/+9
Commit 0bf380bc70ec ("mm: compaction: check pfn_valid when entering a new MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES block during isolation for migration") added a check for pfn_valid() when isolating pages for migration as the scanner does not necessarily start pageblock-aligned. Since commit c89511ab2f8f ("mm: compaction: Restart compaction from near where it left off"), the free scanner has the same problem. This patch makes sure that the pfn range passed to isolate_freepages_block() is within the same block so that pfn_valid() checks are unnecessary. In answer to Henrik's wondering why others have not reported this: reproducing this requires a large enough hole with the right aligment to have compaction walk into a PFN range with no memmap. Size and alignment depends in the memory model - 4M for FLATMEM and 128M for SPARSEMEM on x86. It needs a "lucky" machine.

2012-12-05MIPS: Fix endless loop when processing signals for kernel tasksDmitry Adamushko1-1/+6
The problem occurs [1] when a kernel-mode task returns from a system call with a pending signal. A real-life scenario is a child of 'khelper' returning from a failed kernel_execve() in ____call_usermodehelper() [ kernel/kmod.c ]. kernel_execve() fails due to a pending SIGKILL, which is the result of "kill -9 -1" (at least, busybox's init does it upon reboot). The loop is as follows: * syscall_exit_work: - work_pending: // start_of_the_loop - work_notifysig: - do_notify_resume() - do_signal() - if (!user_mode(regs)) return; - resume_userspace // TIF_SIGPENDING is still set - work_pending // so we call work_pending => goto // start_of_the_loop More information can be found in another LKML thread: http://www.serverphorums.com/read.php?12,457826 [1] The problem was also reproduced on !CONFIG_VM86 x86, and the following fix was accepted. http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=29a2e2836ff9ea65a603c89df217f4198973a74f Signed-off-by: Dmitry Adamushko <dmitry.adamushko@gmail.com> Cc: linux-mips@linux-mips.org Patchwork: https://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/3571/ Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>

Don't use enum-type bitfields in the module signature info block as we can't be certain how the compiler will handle them. As I understand it, it is arch dependent, and it is possible for the compiler to rearrange them based on endianness and to insert a byte of padding to pad the three enums out to four bytes. Instead use u8 fields for these, which the compiler should emit in the right order without padding.

2012-12-04watchdog: Fix CPU hotplug regressionThomas Gleixner1-0/+3
Norbert reported: "3.7-rc6 booted with nmi_watchdog=0 fails to suspend to RAM or offline CPUs. It's reproducable with a KVM guest and physical system." The reason is that commit bcd951cf(watchdog: Use hotplug thread infrastructure) missed to take this into account. So the cpu offline code gets stuck in the teardown function because it accesses non initialized data structures. Add a check for watchdog_enabled into that path to cure the issue.

Commit 8852aac25e79 ("workqueue: mod_delayed_work_on() shouldn't queue timer on 0 delay") had the side-effect of performing delayed_work sanity checks even when @delay is 0, which should be fine for any sane use cases. Unfortunately, megaraid was being overly ingenious. It seemingly wanted to use cancel_delayed_work_sync() before cancel_work_sync() was introduced, but didn't want to waste the space for full delayed_work as it was only going to use 0 @delay. So, it only allocated space for struct work_struct and then cast it to struct delayed_work and passed it into delayed_work functions - truly awesome engineering tradeoff to save some bytes. Xiaotian fixed it by making megraid allocate full delayed_work for now. It should be converted to use work_struct and cancel_work_sync() but I think we better do that after 3.7.

2012-12-04vfs: avoid "attempt to access beyond end of device" warningsLinus Torvalds1-0/+52
The block device access simplification that avoided accessing the (racy) block size information (commit bbec0270bdd8: "blkdev_max_block: make private to fs/buffer.c") no longer checks the maximum block size in the block mapping path. That was _almost_ as simple as just removing the code entirely, because the readers and writers all check the size of the device anyway, so under normal circumstances it "just worked". However, the block size may be such that the end of the device may straddle one single buffer_head. At which point we may still want to access the end of the device, but the buffer we use to access it partially extends past the end. The 'bd_set_size()' function intentionally sets the block size to avoid this, but mounting the device - or setting the block size by hand to some other value - can modify that block size. So instead, teach 'submit_bh()' about the special case of the buffer head straddling the end of the device, and turning such an access into a smaller IO access, avoiding the problem. This, btw, also means that unlike before, we can now access the whole device regardless of device block size setting. So now, even if the device size is only 512-byte aligned, we can read and write even the last sector even when having a much bigger block size for accessing the rest of the device. So with this, we could now get rid of the 'bd_set_size()' block size code entirely - resulting in faster IO for the common case - but that would be a separate patch.

2012-12-04workqueue: convert BUG_ON()s in __queue_delayed_work() to WARN_ON_ONCE()sTejun Heo1-2/+2
8852aac25e ("workqueue: mod_delayed_work_on() shouldn't queue timer on 0 delay") unexpectedly uncovered a very nasty abuse of delayed_work in megaraid - it allocated work_struct, casted it to delayed_work and then pass that into queue_delayed_work(). Previously, this was okay because 0 @delay short-circuited to queue_work() before doing anything with delayed_work. 8852aac25e moved 0 @delay test into __queue_delayed_work() after sanity check on delayed_work making megaraid trigger BUG_ON(). Although megaraid is already fixed by c1d390d8e6 ("megaraid: fix BUG_ON() from incorrect use of delayed work"), this patch converts BUG_ON()s in __queue_delayed_work() to WARN_ON_ONCE()s so that such abusers, if there are more, trigger warning but don't crash the machine.

2012-12-04MIPS: Avoid mcheck by flushing page range in huge_ptep_set_access_flags()David Daney2-15/+15
Problem: 1) Huge page mapping of anonymous memory is initially invalid. Will be faulted in by copy-on-write mechanism. 2) Userspace attempts store at the end of the huge mapping. 3) TLB Refill exception handler fill TLB with a normal (4K sized) invalid page at the end of the huge mapping virtual address range. 4) Userspace restarted, and re-attempts the store at the end of the huge mapping. 5) Page from #3 is invalid, we get a fault and go to the hugepage fault handler. This tries to map a huge page and calls huge_ptep_set_access_flags() to install the mapping. 6) We just call the generic ptep_set_access_flags() to set up the page tables, but the flush there assumes a normal (4K sized) page and only tries to flush the first part of the huge page virtual address out of the TLB, since the existing entry from step #3 doesn't conflict, nothing is flushed. 7) We attempt to load the mapping into the TLB, but because it conflicts with the entry from step #3, we get a Machine Check exception. The fix: Flush the entire rage covered by the huge page in huge_ptep_set_access_flags(), and remove the optimization in local_flush_tlb_range() so that the flush actually does the correct thing.

megaraid use INIT_WORK to declare a hotplug_work, but cast the hotplug_work from work_struct to delayed_work and schedule_delayed_work on it. This is very dangerous, as other part of delayed_work might be kernel memories allocated by others. With commit 8852aac ("workqueue: mod_delayed_work_on() shouldn't queue timer on 0 delay"), schedule_delayed_work() will check dwork->timer before queue_work even when @delay is 0, this causes megaraid code to hit the BUG_ON() in workqueue code.

Between commits 8323f26ce342 ("sched: Fix race in task_group()") and 800d4d30c8f2 ("sched, autogroup: Stop going ahead if autogroup is disabled"), autogroup is a wreck. With both applied, all you have to do to crash a box is disable autogroup during boot up, then reboot.. boom, NULL pointer dereference due to commit 800d4d30c8f2 not allowing autogroup to move things, and commit 8323f26ce342 making that the only way to switch runqueues: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null) IP: [<ffffffff81063ac0>] effective_load.isra.43+0x50/0x90 Pid: 7047, comm: systemd-user-se Not tainted 3.6.8-smp #7 MEDIONPC MS-7502/MS-7502 RIP: effective_load.isra.43+0x50/0x90 Process systemd-user-se (pid: 7047, threadinfo ffff880221dde000, task ffff88022618b3a0) Call Trace: select_task_rq_fair+0x255/0x780 try_to_wake_up+0x156/0x2c0 wake_up_state+0xb/0x10 signal_wake_up+0x28/0x40 complete_signal+0x1d6/0x250 __send_signal+0x170/0x310 send_signal+0x40/0x80 do_send_sig_info+0x47/0x90 group_send_sig_info+0x4a/0x70 kill_pid_info+0x3a/0x60 sys_kill+0x97/0x1a0 ? vfs_read+0x120/0x160 ? sys_read+0x45/0x90 system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b Code: 49 0f af 41 50 31 d2 49 f7 f0 48 83 f8 01 48 0f 46 c6 48 2b 07 48 8b bf 40 01 00 00 48 85 ff 74 3a 45 31 c0 48 8b 8f 50 01 00 00 <48> 8b 11 4c 8b 89 80 00 00 00 49 89 d2 48 01 d0 45 8b 59 58 4c RIP [<ffffffff81063ac0>] effective_load.isra.43+0x50/0x90 RSP <ffff880221ddfbd8> CR2: 0000000000000000 Signed-off-by: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Acked-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Cc: Yong Zhang <yong.zhang0@gmail.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # 2.6.39+ Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2012-12-03Merge branch 'block-dev'Linus Torvalds5-196/+72
Merge 'block-dev' branch. I was going to just mark everything here for stable and leave it to the 3.8 merge window, but having decided on doing another -rc, I migth as well merge it now. This removes the bd_block_size_semaphore semaphore that was added in this release to fix a race condition between block size changes and block IO, and replaces it with atomicity guaratees in fs/buffer.c instead, along with simplifying fs/block-dev.c. This removes more lines than it adds, makes the code generally simpler, and avoids the latency/rt issues that the block size semaphore introduced for mount. I'm not happy with the timing, but it wouldn't be much better doing this during the merge window and then having some delayed back-port of it into stable. * block-dev: blkdev_max_block: make private to fs/buffer.c direct-io: don't read inode->i_blkbits multiple times blockdev: remove bd_block_size_semaphore again fs/buffer.c: make block-size be per-page and protected by the page lock
2012-12-03modsign: add symbol prefix to certificate listJames Hogan1-2/+2
Add the arch symbol prefix (if applicable) to the asm definition of modsign_certificate_list and modsign_certificate_list_end. This uses the recently defined SYMBOL_PREFIX which is derived from CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX. This fixes the build of module signing on the blackfin and metag architectures.

2012-12-02open*(2) compat fixes (s390, arm64)Al Viro2-2/+2
The usual rules for open()/openat()/open_by_handle_at() are 1) native 32bit - don't force O_LARGEFILE in flags 2) native 64bit - force O_LARGEFILE in flags 3) compat on 64bit host - as for native 32bit 4) native 32bit ABI for 64bit system (mips/n32, x86/x32) - as for native 64bit There are only two exceptions - s390 compat has open() forcing O_LARGEFILE and arm64 compat has open_by_handle_at() doing the same thing. The same binaries on native host (s390/31 and arm resp.) will *not* force O_LARGEFILE, so IMO both are emulation bugs. Objections? The fix is obvious...

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq Pull late workqueue fixes from Tejun Heo: "Unfortunately, I have two really late fixes. One was for a long-standing bug and queued for 3.8 but I found out about a regression introduced during 3.7-rc1 two days ago, so I'm sending out the two fixes together. The first (long-standing) one is rescuer_thread() entering exit path w/ TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE. It only triggers on workqueue destructions which isn't very frequent and the exit path can usually survive being called with TASK_INTERRUPT, so it was hidden pretty well. Apparently, if you're reiserfs, this could lead to the exiting kthread sleeping indefinitely holding a mutex, which is never good. The fix is simple - restoring TASK_RUNNING before returning from the kthread function. The second one is introduced by the new mod_delayed_work(). mod_delayed_work() was missing special case handling for 0 delay. Instead of queueing the work item immediately, it queued the timer which expires on the closest next tick. Some users of the new function converted from "[__]cancel_delayed_work() + queue_delayed_work()" combination became unhappy with the extra delay. Block unplugging led to noticeably higher number of context switches and intel 6250 wireless failed to associate with WPA-Enterprise network. The fix, again, is fairly simple. The 0 delay special case logic from queue_delayed_work_on() should be moved to __queue_delayed_work() which is shared by both queue_delayed_work_on() and mod_delayed_work_on(). The first one is difficult to trigger and the failure mode for the latter isn't completely catastrophic, so missing these two for 3.7 wouldn't make it a disastrous release, but both bugs are nasty and the fixes are fairly safe" * 'for-3.7-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq: workqueue: mod_delayed_work_on() shouldn't queue timer on 0 delay workqueue: exit rescuer_thread() as TASK_RUNNING

Recent network changes allowed high order pages being used for skb fragments. This uncovered a bug in do_tcp_sendpages() which was assuming its caller provided an array of order-0 page pointers. We only have to deal with a single page in this function, and its order is irrelevant.

2012-12-02workqueue: mod_delayed_work_on() shouldn't queue timer on 0 delayTejun Heo1-3/+11
8376fe22c7 ("workqueue: implement mod_delayed_work[_on]()") implemented mod_delayed_work[_on]() using the improved try_to_grab_pending(). The function is later used, among others, to replace [__]candel_delayed_work() + queue_delayed_work() combinations. Unfortunately, a delayed_work item w/ zero @delay is handled slightly differently by mod_delayed_work_on() compared to queue_delayed_work_on(). The latter skips timer altogether and directly queues it using queue_work_on() while the former schedules timer which will expire on the closest tick. This means, when @delay is zero, that [__]cancel_delayed_work() + queue_delayed_work_on() makes the target item immediately executable while mod_delayed_work_on() may induce delay of upto a full tick. This somewhat subtle difference breaks some of the converted users. e.g. block queue plugging uses delayed_work for deferred processing and uses mod_delayed_work_on() when the queue needs to be immediately unplugged. The above problem manifested as noticeably higher number of context switches under certain circumstances. The difference in behavior was caused by missing special case handling for 0 delay in mod_delayed_work_on() compared to queue_delayed_work_on(). Joonsoo Kim posted a patch to add it - ("workqueue: optimize mod_delayed_work_on() when @delay == 0")[1]. The patch was queued for 3.8 but it was described as optimization and I missed that it was a correctness issue. As both queue_delayed_work_on() and mod_delayed_work_on() use __queue_delayed_work() for queueing, it seems that the better approach is to move the 0 delay special handling to the function instead of duplicating it in mod_delayed_work_on(). Fix the problem by moving 0 delay special case handling from queue_delayed_work_on() to __queue_delayed_work(). This replaces Joonsoo's patch.
