GFP_TEMPORARY was introduced by commit e12ba74d ("Group short-lived and reclaimable kernel allocations") along with __GFP_RECLAIMABLE. It's primary motivation was to allow users to tell that an allocation is short lived and so the allocator can try to place such allocations close together and prevent long term fragmentation. As much as this sounds like a reasonable semantic it becomes much less clear when to use the highlevel GFP_TEMPORARY allocation flag. How long is temporary? Can the context holding that memory sleep? Can it take locks? It seems there is no good answer for those questions. The current implementation of GFP_TEMPORARY is basically GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_RECLAIMABLE which in itself is tricky because basically none of the existing caller provide a way to reclaim the allocated memory. So this is rather misleading and hard to evaluate for any benefits. I have checked some random users and none of them has added the flag with a specific justification. I suspect most of them just copied from other existing users and others just thought it might be a good idea to use without any measuring. This suggests that GFP_TEMPORARY just motivates for cargo cult usage without any reasoning. I believe that our gfp flags are quite complex already and especially those with highlevel semantic should be clearly defined to prevent from confusion and abuse. Therefore I propose dropping GFP_TEMPORARY and replace all existing users to simply use GFP_KERNEL. Please note that SLAB users with shrinkers will still get __GFP_RECLAIMABLE heuristic and so they will be placed properly for memory fragmentation prevention. I can see reasons we might want some gfp flag to reflect shorterm allocations but I propose starting from a clear semantic definition and only then add users with proper justification. This was been brought up before LSF this year by Matthew [1] and it turned out that GFP_TEMPORARY really doesn't have a clear semantic. It seems to be a heuristic without any measured advantage for most (if not all) its current users. The follow up discussion has revealed that opinions on what might be temporary allocation differ a lot between developers. So rather than trying to tweak existing users into a semantic which they haven't expected I propose to simply remove the flag and start from scratch if we really need a semantic for short term allocations.

gcc points out a minor bug in the handling of unknown cookie types, which could result in a string overflow when the integer is copied into a 3-byte string: fs/fscache/object-list.c: In function 'fscache_objlist_show': fs/fscache/object-list.c:265:19: error: 'sprintf' may write a terminating nul past the end of the destination [-Werror=format-overflow=] sprintf(_type, "%02u", cookie->def->type); ^~~~~~ fs/fscache/object-list.c:265:4: note: 'sprintf' output between 3 and 4 bytes into a destination of size 3 This is currently harmless as no code sets a type other than 0 or 1, but it makes sense to use snprintf() here to avoid overflowing the array if that changes.

IDR only supports non-negative IDs. There used to be a 'WARN_ON_ONCE(id < 0)' in idr_replace(), but it was intentionally removed by commit 2e1c9b28 ("idr: remove WARN_ON_ONCE() on negative IDs"). Then it was added back by commit 0a835c4f ("Reimplement IDR and IDA using the radix tree"). However it seems that adding it back was a mistake, given that some users such as drm_gem_handle_delete() (DRM_IOCTL_GEM_CLOSE) pass in a value from userspace to idr_replace(), allowing the WARN_ON_ONCE to be triggered. drm_gem_handle_delete() actually just wants idr_replace() to return an error code if the ID is not allocated, including in the case where the ID is invalid (negative). So once again remove the bogus WARN_ON_ONCE(). This bug was found by syzkaller, which encountered the following warning: WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 3008 at lib/idr.c:157 idr_replace+0x1d8/0x240 lib/idr.c:157 Kernel panic - not syncing: panic_on_warn set ...

Another merge window, another MAINTAINERS file disaster. People have serious problems with the alphabet and sorting, and poor Jérôme Glisse and Radim Krčmář get their names mangled by locale issues, turning them into some mangled mess (probably others do too, but those two stood out when sorting things again). And we now have two copies of the same 'AS3645A LED FLASH CONTROLLER DRIVER' in the tree and in the MAINTAINERS file, but that's a separate issue - the duplication is real, and I left them as two entries for the same name. This does not try to sort the actual section pattern entries, although I may end up doing that later. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

cpu_init() is weird: it's called rather late (after early identification and after most MMU state is initialized) on the boot CPU but is called extremely early (before identification) on secondary CPUs. It's called just late enough on the boot CPU that its CR4 value isn't propagated to mmu_cr4_features. Even if we put CR4.PCIDE into mmu_cr4_features, we'd hit two problems. First, we'd crash in the trampoline code. That's fixable, and I tried that. It turns out that mmu_cr4_features is totally ignored by secondary_start_64(), though, so even with the trampoline code fixed, it wouldn't help. This means that we don't currently have CR4.PCIDE reliably initialized before we start playing with cpu_tlbstate. This is very fragile and tends to cause boot failures if I make even small changes to the TLB handling code. Make it more robust: initialize CR4.PCIDE earlier on the boot CPU and propagate it to secondary CPUs in start_secondary(). ( Yes, this is ugly. I think we should have improved mmu_cr4_features to actually control CR4 during secondary bootup, but that would be fairly intrusive at this stage. ) Signed-off-by: Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org> Reported-by: Sai Praneeth Prakhya <sai.praneeth.prakhya@intel.com> Tested-by: Sai Praneeth Prakhya <sai.praneeth.prakhya@intel.com> Cc: Borislav Petkov <bpetkov@suse.de> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Fixes: 660da7c9 ("x86/mm: Enable CR4.PCIDE on supported systems") Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>

Jiri reported a resume-from-hibernation failure triggered by PCID. The root cause appears to be rather odd. The hibernation asm restores a CR3 value that comes from the image header. If the image kernel has PCID on, it's entirely reasonable for this CR3 value to have one of the low 12 bits set. The restore code restores it with CR4.PCIDE=0, which means that those low 12 bits are accepted by the CPU but are either ignored or interpreted as a caching mode. This is odd, but still works. We blow up later when the image kernel restores CR4, though, since changing CR4.PCIDE with CR3[11:0] != 0 is illegal. Boom! FWIW, it's entirely unclear to me what's supposed to happen if a PAE kernel restores a non-PAE image or vice versa. Ditto for LA57.

If using a kernel with CONFIG_XFS_RT=y and we set the RHINHERIT flag on a directory in a filesystem that does not have a realtime device and create a new file in that directory, it gets marked as a real time file. When data is written and a fsync is issued, the filesystem attempts to flush a non-existent rt device during the fsync process. This results in a crash dereferencing a null buftarg pointer in xfs_blkdev_issue_flush(): BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000008 IP: xfs_blkdev_issue_flush+0xd/0x20 .....

Once we encounter I/O interruption during issuing discards, we will delay long time before next round, but if system status is I/O idle during the time, it may loses opportunity to issue discards. So this patch changes to hurry up to issue discard after io interruption. Besides, this patch also fixes to issue discards accurately with assigned rate.
