      device_cgroup: stop using simple_strtoul() · 26fd8405
      Aristeu Rozanski authored
      Convert the code to use kstrtou32() instead of simple_strtoul() which is
      deprecated.  The real size of the variables are u32, so use kstrtou32
      instead of kstrtoul

      device_cgroup: rename deny_all to behavior · 5b7aa7d5
      Aristeu Rozanski authored
      This was done in a v2 patch but v1 ended up being committed.  The
      variable name is less confusing and stores the default behavior when no
      matching exception exists.

      cgroup: fix invalid rcu dereference · 8c9506d1
      Jiri Slaby authored
      Commit ad676077 ("device_cgroup: convert device_cgroup internally to
      policy + exceptions") removed rcu locks which are needed in
      task_devcgroup called in this chain:
      
        devcgroup_inode_mknod OR __devcgroup_inode_permission ->
          __devcgroup_inode_permission ->
            task_devcgroup ->
              task_subsys_state ->
                task_subsys_state_check.
      
      Change the code so that task_devcgroup is safely called with rcu read
      lock held.

      mm: fix XFS oops due to dirty pages without buffers on s390 · ef5d437f
      Jan Kara authored
      On s390 any write to a page (even from kernel itself) sets architecture
      specific page dirty bit.  Thus when a page is written to via buffered
      write, HW dirty bit gets set and when we later map and unmap the page,
      page_remove_rmap() finds the dirty bit and calls set_page_dirty().
      
      Dirtying of a page which shouldn't be dirty can cause all sorts of
      problems to filesystems.  The bug we observed in practice is that
      buffers from the page get freed, so when the page gets later marked as
      dirty and writeback writes it, XFS crashes due to an assertion
      BUG_ON(!PagePrivate(page)) in page_buffers() called from
      xfs_count_page_state().
      
      Similar problem can also happen when zero_user_segment() call from
      xfs_vm_writepage() (or block_write_full_page() for that matter) set the
      hardware dirty bit during writeback, later buffers get freed, and then
      page unmapped.
      
      Fix the issue by ignoring s390 HW dirty bit for page cache pages of
      mappings with mapping_cap_account_dirty().  This is safe because for
      such mappings when a page gets marked as writeable in PTE it is also
      marked dirty in do_wp_page() or do_page_fault().  When the dirty bit is
      cleared by clear_page_dirty_for_io(), the page gets writeprotected in
      page_mkclean().  So pagecache page is writeable if and only if it is
      dirty.
      
      Thanks to Hugh Dickins for pointing out mapping has to have
      mapping_cap_account_dirty() for things to work and proposing a cleaned
      up variant of the patch.
      
      The patch has survived about two hours of running fsx-linux on tmpfs
      while heavily swapping and several days of running on out build machines
      where the original problem was triggered.
