External/Decrement exceptions have lower priority than the Debug Exception. So, we don't have to disable the External interrupts before a single step. However, on BookE, Critical Input Exception(CE) has higher priority than a Debug Exception. Hence we mask them. Signed-off-by: Suzuki K.

For architectures like powerpc that support multiple explicit hugepage sizes, HPAGE_SHIFT indicate the default explicit hugepage shift. For THP to work the hugepage size should be same as PMD_SIZE. So use PMD_SHIFT directly. So move the define outside CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE #ifdef because we want to use these defines in generic code with if (pmd_trans_huge()) conditional.

Pull RCU fixes from Paul McKenney: "I must confess that this past merge window was not RCU's best showing. This series contains three more fixes for RCU regressions: 1. A fix to __DECLARE_TRACE_RCU() that causes it to act as an interrupt from idle rather than as a task switch from idle. This change is needed due to the recent use of _rcuidle() tracepoints that can be invoked from interrupt handlers as well as from idle. Without this fix, invoking _rcuidle() tracepoints from interrupt handlers results in splats and (more seriously) confusion on RCU's part as to whether a given CPU is idle or not. This confusion can in turn result in too-short grace periods and therefore random memory corruption. 2. A fix to a subtle deadlock that could result due to RCU doing a wakeup while holding one of its rcu_node structure's locks. Although the probability of occurrence is low, it really does happen. The fix, courtesy of Steven Rostedt, uses irq_work_queue() to avoid the deadlock. 3. A fix to a silent deadlock (invisible to lockdep) due to the interaction of timeouts posted by RCU debug code enabled by CONFIG_PROVE_RCU_DELAY=y, grace-period initialization, and CPU hotplug operations. This will not occur in production kernels, but really does occur in randconfig testing.

There are cases where the kernel will believe that the WRITE SAME command is supported by a block device which does not, in fact, support WRITE SAME. This currently happens for SATA drivers behind a SAS controller, but there are probably a hundred other ways that can happen, including drive firmware bugs. After receiving an error for WRITE SAME the block layer will retry the request as a plain write of zeroes, but mdraid will consider the failure as fatal and consider the drive failed. This has the effect that all the mirrors containing a specific set of data are each offlined in very rapid succession resulting in data loss. However, just bouncing the request back up to the block layer isn't ideal either, because the whole initial request-retry sequence should be inside the write bitmap fence, which probably means that md needs to do its own conversion of WRITE SAME to write zero. Until the failure scenario has been sorted out, disable WRITE SAME for raid1, raid5, and raid10. [neilb: added raid5] This patch is appropriate for any -stable since 3.7 when write_same support was added. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: H.

Various places in raid1 and raid10 are calling raise_barrier when they really should call freeze_array. The former is only intended to be called from "make_request". The later has extra checks for 'nr_queued' and makes a call to flush_pending_writes(), so it is safe to call it from within the management thread. Using raise_barrier will sometimes deadlock. Using freeze_array should not. As 'freeze_array' currently expects one request to be pending (in handle_read_error - the only previous caller), we need to pass it the number of pending requests (extra) to ignore. The deadlock was made particularly noticeable by commits 050b6615 (raid10) and 6b740b8d (raid1) which appeared in 3.4, so the fix is appropriate for any -stable kernel since then. This patch probably won't apply directly to some early kernels and will need to be applied by hand.

md/raid1: consider WRITE as successful only if at least one non-Faulty and non-rebuilding drive completed it. Without that fix, the following scenario could happen: - RAID1 with drives A and B; drive B was freshly-added and is rebuilding - Drive A fails - WRITE request arrives to the array. It is failed by drive A, so r1_bio is marked as R1BIO_WriteError, but the rebuilding drive B succeeds in writing it, so the same r1_bio is marked as R1BIO_Uptodate. - r1_bio arrives to handle_write_finished, badblocks are disabled, md_error()->error() does nothing because we don't fail the last drive of raid1 - raid_end_bio_io() calls call_bio_endio() - As a result, in call_bio_endio(): if (!test_bit(R1BIO_Uptodate, &r1_bio->state)) clear_bit(BIO_UPTODATE, &bio->bi_flags); this code doesn't clear the BIO_UPTODATE flag, and the whole master WRITE succeeds, back to the upper layer. So we returned success to the upper layer, even though we had written the data onto the rebuilding drive only. But when we want to read the data back, we would not read from the rebuilding drive, so this data is lost. [neilb - applied identical change to raid10 as well] This bug can result in lost data, so it is suitable for any -stable kernel.

__md_stop_writes() will currently sometimes freeze recovery. So any caller must be ready for that to happen, and indeed they are. However if __md_stop_writes() doesn't freeze_recovery, then a recovery could start before mddev_suspend() is called, which could be awkward. This can particularly cause problems or dm-raid. So change __md_stop_writes() to always freeze recovery. This is safe and more predicatable.

The lockless reclaim hierarchy iterator currently has a misplaced barrier that can lead to use-after-free crashes. The reclaim hierarchy iterator consist of a sequence count and a position pointer that are read and written locklessly, with memory barriers enforcing ordering. The write side sets the position pointer first, then updates the sequence count to "publish" the new position. Likewise, the read side must read the sequence count first, then the position. If the sequence count is up to date, it's guaranteed that the position is up to date as well: writer: reader: iter->position = position if iter->sequence == expected: smp_wmb() smp_rmb() iter->sequence = sequence position = iter->position However, the read side barrier is currently misplaced, which can lead to dereferencing stale position pointers that no longer point to valid memory. Fix this.

The bitmap accessed by bitops must have enough size to hold the required numbers of bits rounded up to a multiple of BITS_PER_LONG. And the bitmap must not be zeroed by memset() if the number of bits cleared is not a multiple of BITS_PER_LONG. This fixes incorrect zeroing and allocation size for frontswap_map. The incorrect zeroing part doesn't cause any problem because frontswap_map is freed just after zeroing. But the wrongly calculated allocation size may cause the problem. For 32bit systems, the allocation size of frontswap_map is about twice as large as required size. For 64bit systems, the allocation size is smaller than requeired if the number of bits is not a multiple of BITS_PER_LONG.

audit_add_tree_rule() must set 'rule->tree = NULL;' firstly, to protect the rule itself freed in kill_rules(). The reason is when it is killed, the 'rule' itself may have already released, we should not access it. one example: we add a rule to an inode, just at the same time the other task is deleting this inode.

When we have a page fault for the address which is backed by a hugepage under migration, the kernel can't wait correctly and do busy looping on hugepage fault until the migration finishes. As a result, users who try to kick hugepage migration (via soft offlining, for example) occasionally experience long delay or soft lockup. This is because pte_offset_map_lock() can't get a correct migration entry or a correct page table lock for hugepage. This patch introduces migration_entry_wait_huge() to solve this.

The watermark check consists of two sub-checks. The first one is: if (free_pages <= min + lowmem_reserve) return false; The check assures that there is minimal amount of RAM in the zone. If CMA is used then the free_pages is reduced by the number of free pages in CMA prior to the over-mentioned check. if (!(alloc_flags & ALLOC_CMA)) free_pages -= zone_page_state(z, NR_FREE_CMA_PAGES); This prevents the zone from being drained from pages available for non-movable allocations. The second check prevents the zone from getting too fragmented. for (o = 0; o < order; o++) { free_pages -= z->free_area[o].nr_free << o; min >>= 1; if (free_pages <= min) return false; } The field z->free_area[o].nr_free is equal to the number of free pages including free CMA pages. Therefore the CMA pages are subtracted twice. This may cause a false positive fail of __zone_watermark_ok() if the CMA area gets strongly fragmented. In such a case there are many 0-order free pages located in CMA. Those pages are subtracted twice therefore they will quickly drain free_pages during the check against fragmentation. The test fails even though there are many free non-cma pages in the zone. This patch fixes this issue by subtracting CMA pages only for a purpose of (free_pages <= min + lowmem_reserve) check. Laura said: We were observing allocation failures of higher order pages (order 5 = 128K typically) under tight memory conditions resulting in driver failure. The output from the page allocation failure showed plenty of free pages of the appropriate order/type/zone and mostly CMA pages in the lower orders. For full disclosure, we still observed some page allocation failures even after applying the patch but the number was drastically reduced and those failures were attributed to fragmentation/other system issues.

There was a regression introduced by 36f55889 ("aio: refcounting cleanup"), reported by Jens Axboe - the refcounting cleanup switched to using RCU in the shutdown path, but the synchronize_rcu() was done in the context of the io_destroy() syscall greatly increasing the time it could block. This patch switches it to call_rcu() and makes shutdown asynchronous (more asynchronous than it was originally; before the refcount changes io_destroy() would still wait on pending kiocbs). Note that there's a global quota on the max outstanding kiocbs, and that quota must be manipulated synchronously; otherwise io_setup() could return -EAGAIN when there isn't quota available, and userspace won't have any way of waiting until shutdown of the old kioctxs has finished (besides busy looping). So we release our quota before kioctx shutdown has finished, which should be fine since the quota never corresponded to anything real anyways.

Add shadow interrupt-mask register which can be used on SoCs where the actual hardware register is broken. Note that some care needs to be taken to make sure the shadow mask corresponds to the actual hardware state. The added overhead is not an issue for the non-broken SoCs due to the relatively infrequent interrupt-mask updates. We do, however, only use the shadow mask value as a fall-back when it actually needed as there is still a theoretical possibility that the mask is incorrect (see the code for details).

The members of Atmel's at91sam9x5 family (9x5) have a broken RTC interrupt mask register (AT91_RTC_IMR). It does not reflect enabled interrupts but instead always returns zero. The kernel's rtc-at91rm9200 driver handles the RTC for the 9x5 family. Currently when the date/time is set, an interrupt is generated and this driver neglects to handle the interrupt. The kernel complains about the un-handled interrupt and disables it henceforth. This not only breaks the RTC function, but since that interrupt is shared (Atmel's SYS interrupt) then other things break as well (e.g. the debug port no longer accepts characters). Tested on the at91sam9g25. Bug confirmed by Atmel. This patch (of 5): Add missing match-table compile guard.

read_swap_cache_async() can race against get_swap_page(), and stumble across a SWAP_HAS_CACHE entry in the swap map whose page wasn't brought into the swapcache yet. This transient swap_map state is expected to be transitory, but the actual placement of discard at scan_swap_map() inserts a wait for I/O completion thus making the thread at read_swap_cache_async() to loop around its -EEXIST case, while the other end at get_swap_page() is scheduled away at scan_swap_map(). This can leave the system deadlocked if the I/O completion happens to be waiting on the CPU waitqueue where read_swap_cache_async() is busy looping and !CONFIG_PREEMPT. This patch introduces a cond_resched() call to make the aforementioned read_swap_cache_async() busy loop condition to bail out when necessary, thus avoiding the subtle race window.
