This is an almost-revert of commit 93b43fa5 ("oom: give the dying task a higher priority"). That commit dramatically improved oom killer logic when a fork-bomb occurs. But I've found that it has nasty corner case. Now cpu cgroup has strange default RT runtime. It's 0! That said, if a process under cpu cgroup promote RT scheduling class, the process never run at all. If an admin inserts a !RT process into a cpu cgroup by setting rtruntime=0, usually it runs perfectly because a !RT task isn't affected by the rtruntime knob. But if it promotes an RT task via an explicit setscheduler() syscall or an OOM, the task can't run at all. In short, the oom killer doesn't work at all if admins are using cpu cgroup and don't touch the rtruntime knob. Eventually, kernel may hang up when oom kill occur. I and the original author Luis agreed to disable this logic. Signed-off-by:

all_unreclaimable check in direct reclaim has been introduced at 2.6.19 by following commit. 2006 Sep 25; commit 408d8544; oom: use unreclaimable info And it went through strange history. firstly, following commit broke the logic unintentionally. 2008 Apr 29; commit a41f24ea; page allocator: smarter retry of costly-order allocations Two years later, I've found obvious meaningless code fragment and restored original intention by following commit. 2010 Jun 04; commit bb21c7ce; vmscan: fix do_try_to_free_pages() return value when priority==0 But, the logic didn't works when 32bit highmem system goes hibernation and Minchan slightly changed the algorithm and fixed it . 2010 Sep 22: commit d1908362: vmscan: check all_unreclaimable in direct reclaim path But, recently, Andrey Vagin found the new corner case. Look, struct zone { .. int all_unreclaimable; .. unsigned long pages_scanned; .. } zone->all_unreclaimable and zone->pages_scanned are neigher atomic variables nor protected by lock. Therefore zones can become a state of zone->page_scanned=0 and zone->all_unreclaimable=1. In this case, current all_unreclaimable() return false even though zone->all_unreclaimabe=1. This resulted in the kernel hanging up when executing a loop of the form 1. fork 2. mmap 3. touch memory 4. read memory 5. munmmap as described in http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/linux/kernel/1348725#1348725 Is this ignorable minor issue? No. Unfortunately, x86 has very small dma zone and it become zone->all_unreclamble=1 easily. and if it become all_unreclaimable=1, it never restore all_unreclaimable=0. Why? if all_unreclaimable=1, vmscan only try DEF_PRIORITY reclaim and a-few-lru-pages>>DEF_PRIORITY always makes 0. that mean no page scan at all! Eventually, oom-killer never works on such systems. That said, we can't use zone->pages_scanned for this purpose. This patch restore all_unreclaimable() use zone->all_unreclaimable as old. and in addition, to add oom_killer_disabled check to avoid reintroduce the issue of commit d1908362 ("vmscan: check all_unreclaimable in direct reclaim path").

In __access_remote_vm() we need to check that we have found the right vma, not the following vma before we try to access it. Otherwise we might call the vma's access routine with an address which does not fall inside the vma. It was discovered on a current kernel but with an unreleased driver, from memory it was strace leading to a kernel bad access, but it obviously depends on what the access implementation does. Looking at other access implementations I only see: $ git grep -A 5 vm_operations|grep access arch/powerpc/platforms/cell/spufs/file.c- .access = spufs_mem_mmap_access, arch/x86/pci/i386.c- .access = generic_access_phys, drivers/char/mem.c- .access = generic_access_phys fs/sysfs/bin.c- .access = bin_access, The spufs one looks like it might behave badly given the wrong vma, it assumes vma->vm_file->private_data is a spu_context, and looks like it would probably blow up pretty quickly if it wasn't. generic_access_phys() only uses the vma to check vm_flags and get the mm, and then walks page tables using the address. So it should bail on the vm_flags check, or at worst let you access some other VM_IO mapping. And bin_access() just proxies to another access implementation. Signed-off-by:

5520e894 ("brk: fix min_brk lower bound computation for COMPAT_BRK") tried to get the whole logic of brk randomization for legacy (libc5-based) applications finally right. It turns out that the way to detect whether brk has actually been randomized in the end or not introduced by that patch still doesn't work for those binaries, as reported by Geert: : /sbin/init from my old m68k ramdisk exists prematurely. : : Before the patch: : : | brk(0x80005c8e) = 0x80006000 : : After the patch: : : | brk(0x80005c8e) = 0x80005c8e : : Old libc5 considers brk() to have failed if the return value is not : identical to the requested value. I don't like it, but currently see no better option than a bit flag in task_struct to catch the CONFIG_COMPAT_BRK && randomize_va_space == 2 case. Signed-off-by:

Make the driver aware of the initial status of the regulator. The leds-regulator driver was ignoring the initial status of the regulator; this resulted in rdev->use_count being incremented to 2 after calling regulator_led_set_value() in the .probe method when a regulator was already enabled at insmod time, which made it impossible to ever disable the regulator.

The memory hotplug case involves calling to build_all_zonelists() which in turns calls in to setup_zone_pageset(). The latter is marked __meminit while build_all_zonelists() itself has no particular annotation. build_all_zonelists() is only handed a non-NULL pointer in the case of memory hotplug through an existing __meminit path, so the setup_zone_pageset() reference is always safe. The options as such are either to flag build_all_zonelists() as __ref (as per __build_all_zonelists()), or to simply discard the __meminit annotation from setup_zone_pageset(). Signed-off-by:

The kernel automatically evaluates partition tables of storage devices. The code for evaluating LDM partitions (in fs/partitions/ldm.c) contains a bug that causes a kernel oops on certain corrupted LDM partitions. A kernel subsystem seems to crash, because, after the oops, the kernel no longer recognizes newly connected storage devices. The patch validates the value of vblk_size.

Commit 982134ba ("mm: avoid wrapping vm_pgoff in mremap()") fixed the case of a expanding mapping causing vm_pgoff wrapping when you used mremap. But there was another case where we expand mappings hiding in plain sight: the automatic stack expansion. This fixes that case too. This one also found by Robert Święcki, using his nasty system call fuzzer tool. Good job. Reported-and-tested-by:

The ATAG_BOARDINFO is intended to hand over the information bd->bi_board_number from u-boot to the kernel. This piece of information can be used to implement some kind of board identification while booting the kernel. Therefore it is placed in .initdata section and can be accessed via the new symbol board_number only while initializing the kernel. Signed-off-by:

platform_get_irq returns -ENXIO on failure, so !int_irq was probably always true. Better use (int)int_irq <= 0. Note that a return value of zero is still handled as error even though this could mean irq0. This is a followup to 305b3228 that changed the return value of platform_get_irq from 0 to -ENXIO on error. Acked-by:

We can delete the code that checks to see if we're sending an ignored signal to init because force_sig_info() already handles this case. force_sig_info() will kill init even if the signal handler is SIG_DFL and the scenario described in the comment where init might "generate the same exception over and over again" cannot occur (force_sig_info() clears SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE to ensure that init will die). Also, the use of is_global_init() is not correct in the multhreaded case, as Oleg Nesterov explains, "is_global_init() is not right in theory, /sbin/init can be multithreaded. And, this doesn't cover the sub-namespace inits... I'd suggest to check SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE, but looking closer I think you can simply remove this code." It seems this code was copied from arch/powerpc in March 2007 in commit 623b0355 "[AVR32] Clean up exception handling code" but the code was deleted from arch/powerpc in November 2009 in commit a0592d42 "powerpc: kill the obsolete code under is_global_init()" So catch up with powerpc and delete the bogus code.
