With applying the previous patch "hugetlbfs: stop setting VM_DONTDUMP in initializing vma(VM_HUGETLB)" to reenable hugepage coredump, if a memory error happens on a hugepage and the affected processes try to access the error hugepage, we hit VM_BUG_ON(atomic_read(&page->_count) <= 0) in get_page(). The reason for this bug is that coredump-related code doesn't recognise "hugepage hwpoison entry" with which a pmd entry is replaced when a memory error occurs on a hugepage. In other words, physical address information is stored in different bit layout between hugepage hwpoison entry and pmd entry, so follow_hugetlb_page() which is called in get_dump_page() returns a wrong page from a given address. The expected behavior is like this: absent is_swap_pte FOLL_DUMP Expected behavior ------------------------------------------------------------------- true false false hugetlb_fault false true false hugetlb_fault false false false return page true false true skip page (to avoid allocation) false true true hugetlb_fault false false true return page With this patch, we can call hugetlb_fault() and take proper actions (we wait for migration entries, fail with VM_FAULT_HWPOISON_LARGE for hwpoisoned entries,) and as the result we can dump all hugepages except for hwpoisoned ones.

Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt says about coredump_filter bitmask, Note bit 0-4 doesn't effect any hugetlb memory. hugetlb memory are only effected by bit 5-6. However current code can go into the subsequent flag checks of bit 0-4 for vma(VM_HUGETLB). So this patch inserts 'return' and makes it work as written in the document.

Currently we fail to include any data on hugepages into coredump, because VM_DONTDUMP is set on hugetlbfs's vma. This behavior was recently introduced by commit 314e51b9 ("mm: kill vma flag VM_RESERVED and mm->reserved_vm counter"). This looks to me a serious regression, so let's fix it.

Pull networking fixes from David Miller: 1) Fix erroneous netfilter drop of SIP packets generated by some Cisco phones, from Patrick McHardy. 2) Fix netfilter IPSET refcounting in list_set_add(), from Jozsef Kadlecsik. 3) Fix TCP syncookies route lookup key, we don't use the same values we would use for the usual SYN receive processing, from Dmitry Popov. 4) Fix NULL deref in bond_slave_netdev_event(), from Nikolay Aleksandrov. 5) When bonding enslave fails, we can forget to clear the IFF_BONDING bit, fix also from Nikolay Aleksandrov. 6) skb->csum_start is 16-bits, which is almost always just fine. But if we reallocate the headroom of an SKB this can push the skb->csum_start value outside of it's valid range. This can easily happen when collapsing multiple SKBs from the retransmit queue together. Fix from Thomas Graf. 7) Fix NULL deref in be2net driver due to missing check of __vlan_put_tag() return value, from Ivan Vecera. 8) tun_set_iff() returns zero instead of error code on failure, fix from Wei Yongjun. 9) Like GARP, 802 MRP needs to hold the app->lock when adding MAD events and queueing PDUs.

From Stephen Hemminger. 13) mvnets calculates the TX queue to use incorrectly resulting in garbage pointer derefs and crashes, fix from Willy Tarreau. 14) cdc_mbim does erroneous sizeof(ETH_HLEN).

Commit b4cbb197 ("vm: add vm_iomap_memory() helper function") added a helper function wrapper around io_remap_pfn_range(), and every other architecture defined it in <asm/pgtable.h>. The s390 choice of <asm/io.h> may make sense, but is not very convenient for this case, and gratuitous differences like that cause unexpected errors like this: mm/memory.c: In function 'vm_iomap_memory': mm/memory.c:2439:2: error: implicit declaration of function 'io_remap_pfn_range' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration] Glory be the kbuild test robot who noticed this, bisected it, and reported it to the guilty parties (ie me).

Commit 4a94445c (net: Use ip_route_input_noref() in input path) added a bug in IP defragmentation handling, as non refcounted dst could escape an RCU protected section. Commit 64f3b9e2 (net: ip_expire() must revalidate route) fixed the case of timeouts, but not the general problem. Tom Parkin noticed crashes in UDP stack and provided a patch, but further analysis permitted us to pinpoint the root cause. Before queueing a packet into a frag list, we must drop its dst, as this dst has limited lifetime (RCU protected) When/if a packet is finally reassembled, we use the dst of the very last skb, still protected by RCU and valid, as the dst of the reassembled packet. Use same logic in IPv6, as there is no need to hold dst references.

Linus Torvalds authored
Various drivers end up replicating the code to mmap() their memory buffers into user space, and our core memory remapping function may be very flexible but it is unnecessarily complicated for the common cases to use. Our internal VM uses pfn's ("page frame numbers") which simplifies things for the VM, and allows us to pass physical addresses around in a denser and more efficient format than passing a "phys_addr_t" around, and having to shift it up and down by the page size. But it just means that drivers end up doing that shifting instead at the interface level. It also means that drivers end up mucking around with internal VM things like the vma details (vm_pgoff, vm_start/end) way more than they really need to. So this just exports a function to map a certain physical memory range into user space (using a phys_addr_t based interface that is much more natural for a driver) and hides all the complexity from the driver. Some drivers will still end up tweaking the vm_page_prot details for things like prefetching or cacheability etc, but that's actually relevant to the driver, rather than caring about what the page offset of the mapping is into the particular IO memory region.

Looks like our L_PTE_S2_RDWR definition is slightly wrong, and is actually write only (see ARM ARM Table B3-9, Stage 2 control of access permissions). Didn't make a difference for normal pages, as we OR the flags together, but I'm still wondering how it worked for Stage-2 mapped devices, such as the GIC. Brown paper bag time, again.

Luckilly enough, the CONFIG_NR_CPUS=0 patch hasn't been merged yet (https://lkml.org/lkml/diff/2012/3/31/131/1), so the bug wasn't noticed. Just give it a break!

mvneta_tx() was using a static tx queue number causing crashes as soon as a little bit of traffic was sent via the interface, because it is normally expected that the same queue should be used as in dev_queue_xmit(). As suggested by Ben Hutchings, let's use skb_get_queue_mapping() to get the proper Tx queue number, and use alloc_etherdev_mqs() instead of alloc_etherdev_mq() to create the queues. Both my Mirabox and my OpenBlocks AX3 used to crash without this patch and don't anymore with it. The issue appeared in 3.8 but became more visible after the fix allowing GSO to be enabled. Original work was done by Dmitri Epshtein and Thomas Petazzoni. I just adapted it to take care of Ben's comments.
