      nfsd: special case truncates some more · 783112f7
      Christoph Hellwig authored 
      Both the NFS protocols and the Linux VFS use a setattr operation with a
bitmap of attributes to set to set various file attributes including the
file size and the uid/gid.

The Linux syscalls never mix size updates with unrelated updates like
the uid/gid, and some file systems like XFS and GFS2 rely on the fact
that truncates don't update random other attributes, and many other file
systems handle the case but do not update the other attributes in the
same transaction.  NFSD on the other hand passes the attributes it gets
on the wire more or less directly through to the VFS, leading to updates
the file systems don't expect.  XFS at least has an assert on the
allowed attributes, which caught an unusual NFS client setting the size
and group at the same time.

To handle this issue properly this splits the notify_change call in
nfsd_setattr into two separate ones.

      NFSDv4: use export cache flushtime for changeid on V4ROOT objects. · b8800921
      NeilBrown authored 
      If you change the set of filesystems that are exported, then
the contents of various directories in the NFSv4 pseudo-root
is likely to change.  However the change-id of those
directories is currently tied to the underlying directory,
so the client may not see the changes in a timely fashion.

This patch changes the change-id number to be derived from the
"flush_time" of the export cache.  Whenever any changes are
made to the set of exported filesystems, this flush_time is
updated.  The result is that clients see changes to the set
of exported filesystems much more quickly, often immediately.

      mm, fs: check for fatal signals in do_generic_file_read() · 5abf186a
      Michal Hocko authored 
      do_generic_file_read() can be told to perform a large request from
userspace.  If the system is under OOM and the reading task is the OOM
victim then it has an access to memory reserves and finishing the full
request can lead to the full memory depletion which is dangerous.  Make
sure we rather go with a short read and allow the killed task to
terminate.

      Tetsuo has noticed that an OOM stress test which performs large write
requests can cause the full memory reserves depletion.  He has tracked
this down to the following path

the oom victim has access to all memory reserves to make a forward
progress to exit easier.  But iomap_file_buffered_write and other
callers of iomap_apply loop to complete the full request.  We need to
check for fatal signals and back off with a short write instead.

As the iomap_apply delegates all the work down to the actor we have to
hook into those.  All callers that work with the page cache are calling
iomap_write_begin so we will check for signals there.  dax_iomap_actor
has to handle the situation explicitly because it copies data to the
userspace directly.  Other callers like iomap_page_mkwrite work on a
single page or iomap_fiemap_actor do not allocate memory based on the
given len.

      base/memory, hotplug: fix a kernel oops in show_valid_zones() · a96dfddb
      Toshi Kani authored 
      Reading a sysfs "memoryN/valid_zones" file leads to the following oops
when the first page of a range is not backed by struct page.
show_valid_zones() assumes that 'start_pfn' is always valid for
page_zone().

 BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffea017a000000
 IP: show_valid_zones+0x6f/0x160

This issue may happen on x86-64 systems with 64GiB or more memory since
their memory block size is bumped up to 2GiB.  [1] An example of such
systems is desribed below.  0x3240000000 is only aligned by 1GiB and
this memory block starts from 0x3200000000, which is not backed by
struct page.

 BIOS-e820: [mem 0x0000003240000000-0x000000603fffffff] usable

Since test_pages_in_a_zone() already checks holes, fix this issue by
extending this function to return 'valid_start' and 'valid_end' for a
given range.  show_valid_zones() then proceeds with the valid range.

      mm/memory_hotplug.c: check start_pfn in test_pages_in_a_zone() · deb88a2a
      Toshi Kani authored 
      Patch series "fix a kernel oops when reading sysfs valid_zones", v2.

A sysfs memory file is created for each 2GiB memory block on x86-64 when
the system has 64GiB or more memory.  [1] When the start address of a
memory block is not backed by struct page, i.e.  a memory range is not
aligned by 2GiB, reading its 'valid_zones' attribute file leads to a
kernel oops.  This issue was observed on multiple x86-64 systems with
more than 64GiB of memory.  This patch-set fixes this issue.

Patch 1 first fixes an issue in test_pages_in_a_zone(), which does not
test the start section.

Patch 2 then fixes the kernel oops by extending test_pages_in_a_zone()
to return valid [start, end).

Note for stable kernels: The memory block size change was made by commit
bdee237c ("x86: mm: Use 2GB memory block size on large-memory x86-64
systems"), which was accepted to 3.9.  However, this patch-set depends
on (and fixes) the change to test_pages_in_a_zone() made by commit
5f0f2887 ("mm/memory_hotplug.c: check for missing sections in
test_pages_in_a_zone()"), which was accepted to 4.4.

So, I recommend that we backport it up to 4.4.

[1] 'Commit bdee237c ("x86: mm: Use 2GB memory block size on
    large-memory x86-64 systems")'

This patch (of 2):

test_pages_in_a_zone() does not check 'start_pfn' when it is aligned by
section since 'sec_end_pfn' is set equal to 'pfn'.  Since this function
is called for testing the range of a sysfs memory file, 'start_pfn' is
always aligned by section.

Fix it by properly setting 'sec_end_pfn' to the next section pfn.

Also make sure that this function returns 1 only when the range belongs
to a zone.

      Some versions of ARM GCC compiler such as Android toolchain throws in a
'-fpic' flag by default.  This causes the gcc-goto check script to fail
although some config would have '-fno-pic' flag in the KBUILD_CFLAGS.

This patch passes the KBUILD_CFLAGS to the check script so that the
script does not rely on the default config from different compilers.

The iput() from atomic context was a bad idea: if after igrab() somebody
else calls iput() and we left with the last inode reference, our iput()
would lead to inode eviction and therefore sleeping.

This patch should fix the situation.

      zswap: disable changing params if init fails · d7b028f5
      Dan Streetman authored 
      Add zswap_init_failed bool that prevents changing any of the module
params, if init_zswap() fails, and set zswap_enabled to false.  Change
'enabled' param to a callback, and check zswap_init_failed before
allowing any change to 'enabled', 'zpool', or 'compressor' params.

Any driver that is built-in to the kernel will not be unloaded if its
init function returns error, and its module params remain accessible for
users to change via sysfs.  Since zswap uses param callbacks, which
assume that zswap has been initialized, changing the zswap params after
a failed initialization will result in WARNING due to the param
callbacks expecting a pool to already exist.  This prevents that by
immediately exiting any of the param callbacks if initialization failed.

This was reported here:
  https://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=147004228125528&w=4

And fixes this WARNING:
  [  429.723476] WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 5140 at mm/zswap.c:503 __zswap_pool_current+0x56/0x60

The warning is just noise, and not serious.  However, when init fails,
zswap frees all its percpu dstmem pages and its kmem cache.  The kmem
cache might be serious, if kmem_cache_alloc(NULL, gfp) has problems; but
the percpu dstmem pages are definitely a problem, as they're used as
temporary buffer for compressed pages before copying into place in the
zpool.

If the user does get zswap enabled after an init failure, then zswap
will likely Oops on the first page it tries to compress (or worse, start
corrupting memory).

Fixes: 90b0fc26 ("zswap: change zpool/compressor at runtime")
