      mm: Don't count the stack guard page towards RLIMIT_STACK · f2f5d44b
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      commit 690eac53 upstream.

Commit fee7e49d ("mm: propagate error from stack expansion even for
guard page") made sure that we return the error properly for stack
growth conditions.  It also theorized that counting the guard page
towards the stack limit might break something, but also said "Let's see
if anybody notices".

Somebody did notice.  Apparently android-x86 sets the stack limit very
close to the limit indeed, and including the guard page in the rlimit
check causes the android 'zygote' process problems.

So this adds the (fairly trivial) code to make the stack rlimit check be
against the actual real stack size, rather than the size of the vma that
includes the guard page.

      mm: propagate error from stack expansion even for guard page · c03aed64
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      commit fee7e49d upstream.

Jay Foad reports that the address sanitizer test (asan) sometimes gets
confused by a stack pointer that ends up being outside the stack vma
that is reported by /proc/maps.

This happens due to an interaction between RLIMIT_STACK and the guard
page: when we do the guard page check, we ignore the potential error
from the stack expansion, which effectively results in a missing guard
page, since the expected stack expansion won't have been done.

And since /proc/maps explicitly ignores the guard page (commit
d7824370: "mm: fix up some user-visible effects of the stack guard
page"), the stack pointer ends up being outside the reported stack area.

This is the minimal patch: it just propagates the error.  It also
effectively makes the guard page part of the stack limit, which in turn
measn that the actual real stack is one page less than the stack limit.

Let's see if anybody notices.  We could teach acct_stack_growth() to
allow an extra page for a grow-up/grow-down stack in the rlimit test,
but I don't want to add more complexity if it isn't needed.

      mm, vmscan: prevent kswapd livelock due to pfmemalloc-throttled process being killed · 53bcf5c3
      Vlastimil Babka authored 
      commit 9e5e3661 upstream.

Charles Shirron and Paul Cassella from Cray Inc have reported kswapd
stuck in a busy loop with nothing left to balance, but
kswapd_try_to_sleep() failing to sleep.  Their analysis found the cause
to be a combination of several factors:

1. A process is waiting in throttle_direct_reclaim() on pgdat->pfmemalloc_wait

2. The process has been killed (by OOM in this case), but has not yet been
   scheduled to remove itself from the waitqueue and die.

3. kswapd checks for throttled processes in prepare_kswapd_sleep():

        if (waitqueue_active(&pgdat->pfmemalloc_wait)) {
                wake_up(&pgdat->pfmemalloc_wait);
		return false; // kswapd will not go to sleep
	}

   However, for a process that was already killed, wake_up() does not remove
   the process from the waitqueue, since try_to_wake_up() checks its state
   first and returns false when the process is no longer waiting.

4. kswapd is running on the same CPU as the only CPU that the process is
   allowed to run on (through cpus_allowed, or possibly single-cpu system).

5. CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE=y kernel is used. If there's nothing to balance, kswapd
   encounters no voluntary preemption points and repeatedly fails
   prepare_kswapd_sleep(), blocking the process from running and removing
   itself from the waitqueue, which would let kswapd sleep.

So, the source of the problem is that we prevent kswapd from going to
sleep until there are processes waiting on the pfmemalloc_wait queue,
and a process waiting on a queue is guaranteed to be removed from the
queue only when it gets scheduled.  This was done to make sure that no
process is left sleeping on pfmemalloc_wait when kswapd itself goes to
sleep.

However, it isn't necessary to postpone kswapd sleep until the
pfmemalloc_wait queue actually empties.  To prevent processes from being
left sleeping, it's actually enough to guarantee that all processes
waiting on pfmemalloc_wait queue have been woken up by the time we put
kswapd to sleep.

This patch therefore fixes this issue by substituting 'wake_up' with
'wake_up_all' and removing 'return false' in the code snippet from
prepare_kswapd_sleep() above.  Note that if any process puts itself in
the queue after this waitqueue_active() check, or after the wake up
itself, it means that the process will also wake up kswapd - and since
we are under prepare_to_wait(), the wake up won't be missed.  Also we
update the comment prepare_kswapd_sleep() to hopefully more clearly
describe the races it is preventing.

      mm: protect set_page_dirty() from ongoing truncation · a78e877e
      Johannes Weiner authored 
      commit 2d6d7f98 upstream.

Tejun, while reviewing the code, spotted the following race condition
between the dirtying and truncation of a page:

__set_page_dirty_nobuffers()       __delete_from_page_cache()
  if (TestSetPageDirty(page))
                                     page->mapping = NULL
				     if (PageDirty())
				       dec_zone_page_state(page, NR_FILE_DIRTY);
				       dec_bdi_stat(mapping->backing_dev_info, BDI_RECLAIMABLE);
    if (page->mapping)
      account_page_dirtied(page)
        __inc_zone_page_state(page, NR_FILE_DIRTY);
	__inc_bdi_stat(mapping->backing_dev_info, BDI_RECLAIMABLE);

which results in an imbalance of NR_FILE_DIRTY and BDI_RECLAIMABLE.

Dirtiers usually lock out truncation, either by holding the page lock
directly, or in case of zap_pte_range(), by pinning the mapcount with
the page table lock held.  The notable exception to this rule, though,
is do_wp_page(), for which this race exists.  However, do_wp_page()
already waits for a locked page to unlock before setting the dirty bit,
in order to prevent a race where clear_page_dirty() misses the page bit
in the presence of dirty ptes.  Upgrade that wait to a fully locked
set_page_dirty() to also cover the situation explained above.

Afterwards, the code in set_page_dirty() dealing with a truncation race
is no longer needed.  Remove it.

      exit: fix race between wait_consider_task() and wait_task_zombie() · d73437ad
      Oleg Nesterov authored 
      commit 3245d6ac upstream.

wait_consider_task() checks EXIT_ZOMBIE after EXIT_DEAD/EXIT_TRACE and
both checks can fail if we race with EXIT_ZOMBIE -> EXIT_DEAD/EXIT_TRACE
change in between, gcc needs to reload p->exit_state after
security_task_wait().  In this case ->notask_error will be wrongly
cleared and do_wait() can hang forever if it was the last eligible
child.

Many thanks to Arne who carefully investigated the problem.

Note: this bug is very old but it was pure theoretical until commit
b3ab0316 ("wait: completely ignore the EXIT_DEAD tasks").  Before
this commit "-O2" was probably enough to guarantee that compiler won't
read ->exit_state twice.

      mmc: sdhci: Fix sleep in atomic after inserting SD card · 0324896e
      Krzysztof Kozlowski authored 
      commit 2836766a upstream.

Sleep in atomic context happened on Trats2 board after inserting or
removing SD card because mmc_gpio_get_cd() was called under spin lock.

Fix this by moving card detection earlier, before acquiring spin lock.
The mmc_gpio_get_cd() call does not have to be protected by spin lock
because it does not access any sdhci internal data.
The sdhci_do_get_cd() call access host flags (SDHCI_DEVICE_DEAD). After
moving it out side of spin lock it could theoretically race with driver
removal but still there is no actual protection against manual card
eject.

Dmesg after inserting SD card:

      regulator: s2mps11: Fix dw_mmc failure on Gear 2 · 9abaccf3
      Krzysztof Kozlowski authored 
      commit 1222d8fe upstream.

Invalid buck4 configuration for linear mapping of voltage in S2MPS14
regulators caused boot failure on Gear 2 (dw_mmc-exynos):

[    3.569137] EXT4-fs (mmcblk0p15): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. Opts: (null)
[    3.571716] VFS: Mounted root (ext4 filesystem) readonly on device 179:15.

[    3.630244] mmcblk0: error -110 sending status command, retrying
[    3.636292] mmcblk0: error -110 sending status command, aborting

Buck4 voltage regulator has different minimal voltage value than other
bucks. Commit merging multiple regulator description macros caused to
use linear_min_sel from buck[1235] regulators as value for buck4. This
lead to lower voltage of buck4 than required.

Output of the buck4 is used internally as power source for
LDO{3,4,7,11,19,20,21,23}. On Gear 2 board LDO11 is used as MMC
regulator (V_EMMC_1.8V).
