mm: check __PG_HWPOISON separately from PAGE_FLAGS_CHECK_AT_*

2015-08-07T01:39:42+00:00

The race condition addressed in commit add05cecef80 ("mm: soft-offline: don't free target page in successful page migration") was not closed completely, because that can happen not only for soft-offline, but also for hard-offline. Consider that a slab page is about to be freed into buddy pool, and then an uncorrected memory error hits the page just after entering __free_one_page(), then VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(page->flags & PAGE_FLAGS_CHECK_AT_PREP) is triggered, despite the fact that it's not necessary because the data on the affected page is not consumed. To solve it, this patch drops __PG_HWPOISON from page flag checks at allocation/free time. I think it's justified because __PG_HWPOISON flags is defined to prevent the page from being reused, and setting it outside the page's alloc-free cycle is a designed behavior (not a bug.) For recent months, I was annoyed about BUG_ON when soft-offlined page remains on lru cache list for a while, which is avoided by calling put_page() instead of putback_lru_page() in page migration's success path. This means that this patch reverts a major change from commit add05cecef80 about the new refcounting rule of soft-offlined pages, so "reuse window" revives. This will be closed by a subsequent patch.

fs, file table: reinit files_stat.max_files after deferred memory initialisation

2015-08-07T01:39:40+00:00

Dave Hansen reported the following; My laptop has been behaving strangely with 4.2-rc2. Once I log in to my X session, I start getting all kinds of strange errors from applications and see this in my dmesg: VFS: file-max limit 8192 reached The problem is that the file-max is calculated before memory is fully initialised and miscalculates how much memory the kernel is using. This patch recalculates file-max after deferred memory initialisation. Note that using memory hotplug infrastructure would not have avoided this problem as the value is not recalculated after memory hot-add. 4.1: files_stat.max_files = 6582781 4.2-rc2: files_stat.max_files = 8192 4.2-rc2 patched: files_stat.max_files = 6562467 Small differences with the patch applied and 4.1 but not enough to matter.

cpufreq: Avoid attempts to create duplicate symbolic links

2015-07-28T15:19:26+00:00

After commit 87549141d516 (cpufreq: Stop migrating sysfs files on hotplug) there is a problem with CPUs that share cpufreq policy objects with other CPUs and are initially offline. Say CPU1 shares a policy with CPU0 which is online and is registered first. As part of the registration process, cpufreq_add_dev() is called for it. It creates the policy object and a symbolic link to it from the CPU1's sysfs directory. If CPU1 is registered subsequently and it is offline at that time, cpufreq_add_dev() will attempt to create a symbolic link to the policy object for it, but that link is present already, so a warning about that will be triggered. To avoid that warning, make cpufreq use an additional CPU mask containing related CPUs that are actually present for each policy object. That mask is initialized when the policy object is populated after its creation (for the first online CPU using it) and it includes CPUs from the "policy CPUs" mask returned by the cpufreq driver's ->init() callback that are physically present at that time. Symbolic links to the policy are created only for the CPUs in that mask. If cpufreq_add_dev() is invoked for an offline CPU, it checks the new mask and only creates the symlink if the CPU was not in it (the CPU is added to the mask at the same time). In turn, cpufreq_remove_dev() drops the given CPU from the new mask, removes its symlink to the policy object and returns, unless it is the CPU owning the policy object. In that case, the policy object is moved to a new CPU's sysfs directory or deleted if the CPU being removed was the last user of the policy. While at it, notice that cpufreq_remove_dev() can't fail, because its return value is ignored, so make it ignore return values from __cpufreq_remove_dev_prepare() and __cpufreq_remove_dev_finish() and prevent these functions from aborting on errors returned by __cpufreq_governor(). Also drop the now unused sif argument from them. Fixes: 87549141d516 (cpufreq: Stop migrating sysfs files on hotplug) Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
