When removing a (sibling) event we do: raw_spin_lock_irq(&ctx->lock); perf_group_detach(event); raw_spin_unlock_irq(&ctx->lock); <hole> perf_remove_from_context(event); raw_spin_lock_irq(&ctx->lock); ... raw_spin_unlock_irq(&ctx->lock); Now, assuming the event is a sibling, it will be 'unreachable' for things like ctx_sched_out() because that iterates the groups->siblings, and we just unhooked the sibling. So, if during <hole> we get ctx_sched_out(), it will miss the event and not call event_sched_out() on it, leaving it programmed on the PMU. The subsequent perf_remove_from_context() call will find the ctx is inactive and only call list_del_event() to remove the event from all other lists. Hereafter we can proceed to free the event; while still programmed! Close this hole by moving perf_group_detach() inside the same ctx->lock region(s) perf_remove_from_context() has. The condition on inherited events only in __perf_event_exit_task() is likely complete crap because non-inherited events are part of groups too and we're tearing down just the same. But leave that for another patch.

On 64-bit systems, O_LARGEFILE is automatically added to flags inside the open() syscall (also openat(), blkdev_open(), etc). Userspace therefore defines O_LARGEFILE to be 0 - you can use it, but it's a no-op. Everything should be O_LARGEFILE by default. But: when fanotify does create_fd() it uses dentry_open(), which skips all that. And userspace can't set O_LARGEFILE in fanotify_init() because it's defined to 0. So if fanotify gets an event regarding a large file, the read() will just fail with -EOVERFLOW. This patch adds O_LARGEFILE to fanotify_init()'s event_f_flags on 64-bit systems, using the same test as open()/openat()/etc. Addresses https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=696821Signed-off-by: Will Woods <wwoods@redhat.com> Acked-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

This reverts commit 0bf1457f ("mm: vmscan: do not swap anon pages just because free+file is low") because it introduced a regression in mostly-anonymous workloads, where reclaim would become ineffective and trap every allocating task in direct reclaim. The problem is that there is a runaway feedback loop in the scan balance between file and anon, where the balance tips heavily towards a tiny thrashing file LRU and anonymous pages are no longer being looked at. The commit in question removed the safe guard that would detect such situations and respond with forced anonymous reclaim. This commit was part of a series to fix premature swapping in loads with relatively little cache, and while it made a small difference, the cure is obviously worse than the disease. Revert it.

autofs needs to be able to see private data dentry flags for its dentrys that are being created but not yet hashed and for its dentrys that have been rmdir()ed but not yet freed. It needs to do this so it can block processes in these states until a status has been returned to indicate the given operation is complete. It does this by keeping two lists, active and expring, of dentrys in this state and uses ->d_release() to keep them stable while it checks the reference count to determine if they should be used. But with the recent lockref changes dentrys being freed sometimes don't transition to a reference count of 0 before being freed so autofs can occassionally use a dentry that is invalid which can lead to a panic.

Dave Jones reports the following crash when find_get_pages_tag() runs into an exceptional entry: kernel BUG at mm/filemap.c:1347!

However, as Hugh Dickins notes, "it is truly surprising for a PAGECACHE_TAG_WRITEBACK (and probably any other PAGECACHE_TAG_*) to appear on an exceptional entry. I expect it comes down to an occasional race in RCU lookup of the radix_tree: lacking absolute synchronization, we might sometimes catch an exceptional entry, with the tag which really belongs with the unexceptional entry which was there an instant before." And indeed, not only is the tree walk lockless, the tags are also read in chunks, one radix tree node at a time. There is plenty of time for page reclaim to swoop in and replace a page that was already looked up as tagged with a shadow entry. Remove the BUG() and update the comment. While reviewing all other lookup sites for whether they properly deal with shadow entries of evicted pages, update all the comments and fix memcg file charge moving to not miss shmem/tmpfs swapcache pages.

Vlastimil Babka authored
The compaction freepage scanner implementation in isolate_freepages() starts by taking the current cc->free_pfn value as the first pfn. In a for loop, it scans from this first pfn to the end of the pageblock, and then subtracts pageblock_nr_pages from the first pfn to obtain the first pfn for the next for loop iteration. This means that when cc->free_pfn starts at offset X rather than being aligned on pageblock boundary, the scanner will start at offset X in all scanned pageblock, ignoring potentially many free pages. Currently this can happen when a) zone's end pfn is not pageblock aligned, or b) through zone->compact_cached_free_pfn with CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE enabled and a hole spanning the beginning of a pageblock This patch fixes the problem by aligning the initial pfn in isolate_freepages() to pageblock boundary. This also permits replacing the end-of-pageblock alignment within the for loop with a simple pageblock_nr_pages increment.

It is possible for "limit - setpoint + 1" to equal zero, after getting truncated to a 32 bit variable, and resulting in a divide by zero error. Using the fully 64 bit divide functions avoids this problem. It also will cause pos_ratio_polynom() to return the correct value when (setpoint - limit) exceeds 2^32. Also uninline pos_ratio_polynom, at Andrew's request.

Currently, I am seeing the following when I `mount -t hugetlbfs /none /dev/hugetlbfs`, and then simply do a `ls /dev/hugetlbfs`.

Extract the check to a helper function, and use it in a few relevant places. This does make hugetlbfs not supported (not registered at all) in this environment.

Various filesystems don't bother checking for a NULL ACL in posix_acl_equiv_mode, and thus can dereference a NULL pointer when it gets passed one. This usually happens from the NFS server, as the ACL tools never pass a NULL ACL, but instead of one representing the mode bits. Instead of adding boilerplat to all filesystems put this check into one place, which will allow us to remove the check from other filesystems as well later on.

If freelist_idx_t is a byte, SLAB_OBJ_MAX_NUM should be 255 not 256, and likewise if freelist_idx_t is a short, then it should be 65535 not 65536. This was leading to all kinds of random crashes on sparc64 where PAGE_SIZE is 8192. One problem shown was that if spinlock debugging was enabled, we'd get deadlocks in copy_pte_range() or do_wp_page() with the same cpu already holding a lock it shouldn't hold, or the lock belonging to a completely unrelated process.

Commit a41adfaa ("slab: introduce byte sized index for the freelist of a slab") changes the size of freelist index and also changes prototype of accessor function to freelist index. And there was a mistake. The mistake is that although it changes the size of freelist index correctly, it changes the size of the index of freelist index incorrectly. With patch, freelist index can be 1 byte or 2 bytes, that means that num of object on on a slab can be more than 255. So we need more than 1 byte for the index to find the index of free object on freelist. But, above patch makes this index type 1 byte, so slab which have more than 255 objects cannot work properly and in consequence of it, the system cannot boot. This issue was reported by Steven King on m68knommu which would use 2 bytes freelist index: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/4/16/433 To fix is easy. To change the type of the index of freelist index on accessor functions is enough to fix this bug. Although 2 bytes is enough, I use 4 bytes since it have no bad effect and make things more easier. This fix was suggested and tested by Steven in his original report.

Under "heavy" RX load, the driver cannot handle the descriptors fast enough. In detail, when a descriptor is consumed, its used flag is cleared and once the RX budget is consumed all descriptors with a cleared used flag are prepared to receive more data. Under load though, the HW may constantly receive more data and use those descriptors with a cleared used flag before they are actually prepared for next usage. The head and tail pointers into the RX-ring should always be valid and we can omit clearing and checking of the used flag.

In ip_tunnel_rcv(), set skb->network_header to inner IP header before IP_ECN_decapsulate(). Without the fix, IP_ECN_decapsulate() takes outer IP header as inner IP header, possibly causing error messages or packet drops. Note that this skb_reset_network_header() call was in this spot when the original feature for checking consistency of ECN bits through tunnels was added in eccc1bb8 ("tunnel: drop packet if ECN present with not-ECT"). It was only removed from this spot in 3d7b46cd ("ip_tunnel: push generic protocol handling to ip_tunnel module."). Fixes: 3d7b46cd ("ip_tunnel: push generic protocol handling to ip_tunnel module.")

Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates This series contains updates to e1000e only. David provides four fixes for e1000e, first is a workaround for a hardware erratum on 82579 devices which experienced packet loss in gigabit and 100 speeds when interconnect between the PHY and MAC is exiting K1 power saving state. Second expands the scope of a workaround to include i217 and i218 parts as well to address over aggressive transmit behavior when connecting at 10Mbs half-duplex. Next is to resolve a reported link flap issue on 82579 parts which was root caused as an interoperability problem between 82579 and at least some Broadcom PHYs in the Energy Efficient Ethernet wake mechanism. Lastly, restricts the workaround of putting the PHY into MDIO slow mode to access the PHY id to relevant parts since this issue has been fixed on the newer hardware. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

It has been determined that the workaround of putting the PHY into MDIO slow mode to access the PHY id is not necessary with Lynx Point and newer parts. The issue that necessitated the workaround has been fixed on the newer hardware. We will maintains, as a last ditch attempt, the conversion to MDIO Slow Mode in the failure branch when attempting to access the PHY id so as to cover all contingencies.

Several customers have reported a link flap issue on 82579. The symptoms are random and intermittent link losses when 82579 is connected to specific link partners. Issue has been root caused as interoperability problem between 82579 and at least some Broadcom PHYs in the Energy Efficient Ethernet wake mechanism. To fix the issue, we are disabling the Phase Locked Loop shutdown in 100M Low Power Idle. This solution will cause an increase of power in 100M EEE link. It will cost additional 28mW in this specific mode.
