      lib/vsprintf.c: replace while with do-while in skip_atoi · 43e5b666
      Rasmus Villemoes authored
      All callers of skip_atoi have already checked for the first character
      being a digit.  In this case, gcc generates simpler code for a do
      while-loop.

      lib/vsprintf.c: improve sanity check in vsnprintf() · 2aa2f9e2
      Rasmus Villemoes authored
      On 64 bit, size may very well be huge even if bit 31 happens to be 0.
      Somehow it doesn't feel right that one can pass a 5 GiB buffer but not a
      3 GiB one.  So cap at INT_MAX as was probably the intention all along.
      This is also the made-up value passed by sprintf and vsprintf.

      lib/vsprintf.c: consume 'p' in format_decode · ffbfed03
      Rasmus Villemoes authored
      It seems a little simpler to consume the p from a %p specifier in
      format_decode, just as it is done for the surrounding %c, %s and %% cases.
      
      While there, delete a redundant and misplaced comment.

      kernel.h: remove ancient __FUNCTION__ hack · 02f1f217
      Rasmus Villemoes authored
      __FUNCTION__ hasn't been treated as a string literal since gcc 3.4, so
      this only helps people who only test-compile using 3.3 (compiler-gcc3.h
      barks at anything older than that).  Besides, there are almost no
      occurrences of __FUNCTION__ left in the tree.

      powerpc: add running_clock for powerpc to prevent spurious softlockup warnings · 4be1b297
      Cyril Bur authored
      On POWER8 virtualised kernels the VTB register can be read to have a view
      of time that only increases while the guest is running.  This will prevent
      guests from seeing time jump if a guest is paused for significant amounts
      of time.
      
      On POWER7 and below virtualised kernels stolen time is subtracted from
      local_clock as a best effort approximation.  This will not eliminate
      spurious warnings in the case of a suspended guest but may reduce the
      occurance in the case of softlockups due to host over commit.
      
      Bare metal kernels should avoid reading the VTB as KVM does not restore
      sane values when not executing, the approxmation is fine as host kernels
      won't observe any stolen time.

      kernel/sched/clock.c: add another clock for use with the soft lockup watchdog · 545a2bf7
      Cyril Bur authored
      When the hypervisor pauses a virtualised kernel the kernel will observe a
      jump in timebase, this can cause spurious messages from the softlockup
      detector.
      
      Whilst these messages are harmless, they are accompanied with a stack
      trace which causes undue concern and more problematically the stack trace
      in the guest has nothing to do with the observed problem and can only be
      misleading.
      
      Futhermore, on POWER8 this is completely avoidable with the introduction
      of the Virtual Time Base (VTB) register.
      
      This patch (of 2):
      
      This permits the use of arch specific clocks for which virtualised kernels
      can use their notion of 'running' time, not the elpased wall time which
      will include host execution time.

      all arches, signal: move restart_block to struct task_struct · f56141e3
      Andy Lutomirski authored
      If an attacker can cause a controlled kernel stack overflow, overwriting
      the restart block is a very juicy exploit target.  This is because the
      restart_block is held in the same memory allocation as the kernel stack.
      
      Moving the restart block to struct task_struct prevents this exploit by
      making the restart_block harder to locate.
      
      Note that there are other fields in thread_info that are also easy
      targets, at least on some architectures.
      
      It's also a decent simplification, since the restart code is more or less
      identical on all architectures.

      fs: proc: task_mmu: show page size in /proc/<pid>/numa_maps · 198d1597
      Rafael Aquini authored
      The output of /proc/$pid/numa_maps is in terms of number of pages like
      anon=22 or dirty=54.  Here's some output:
      
        7f4680000000 default file=/hugetlb/bigfile anon=50 dirty=50 N0=50
        7f7659600000 default file=/anon_hugepage\040(deleted) anon=50 dirty=50 N0=50
        7fff8d425000 default stack anon=50 dirty=50 N0=50
      
      Looks like we have a stack and a couple of anonymous hugetlbfs
      areas page which both use the same amount of memory.  They don't.
      
      The 'bigfile' uses 1GB pages and takes up ~50GB of space.  The
      anon_hugepage uses 2MB pages and takes up ~100MB of space while the stack
      uses normal 4k pages.  You can go over to smaps to figure out what the
      page size _really_ is with KernelPageSize or MMUPageSize.  But, I think
      this is a pretty nasty and counterintuitive interface as it stands.
      
      This patch introduces 'kernelpagesize_kB' line element to
      /proc/<pid>/numa_maps report file in order to help identifying the size of
      pages that are backing memory areas mapped by a given task.  This is
      specially useful to help differentiating between HUGE and GIGANTIC page
      backed VMAs.

          (37022 - 36326) / 37022 = 1.87%
      
      Also by analysing objects alocated in every class we know why we got so
      low fragmentation: Most of the allocated objects is in <class 254>.  And
      there is only 1 page in class 254 zspage.  So, No fragmentation will be
      introduced by allocating objs in class 254.
      
      And in future, we can collect other zsmalloc statistics as we need and
      analyse them.

      mm/zpool: add name argument to create zpool · 3eba0c6a
      Ganesh Mahendran authored
      Currently the underlay of zpool: zsmalloc/zbud, do not know who creates
      them.  There is not a method to let zsmalloc/zbud find which caller they
      belong to.
      
      Now we want to add statistics collection in zsmalloc.  We need to name the
      debugfs dir for each pool created.  The way suggested by Minchan Kim is to
      use a name passed by caller(such as zram) to create the zsmalloc pool.
      
          /sys/kernel/debug/zsmalloc/zram0
      
      This patch adds an argument `name' to zs_create_pool() and other related
      functions.

      zram: remove request_queue from struct zram · ee980160
      Sergey Senozhatsky authored
      `struct zram' contains both `struct gendisk' and `struct request_queue'.
      the latter can be deleted, because zram->disk carries ->queue pointer, and
      ->queue carries zram pointer:
      
      create_device()
      	zram->queue->queuedata = zram
      	zram->disk->queue = zram->queue
      	zram->disk->private_data = zram
      
      so zram->queue is not needed, we can access all necessary data anyway.

      zram: remove init_lock in zram_make_request · 08eee69f
      Minchan Kim authored
      Admin could reset zram during I/O operation going on so we have used
      zram->init_lock as read-side lock in I/O path to prevent sudden zram
      meta freeing.
      
      However, the init_lock is really troublesome.  We can't do call
      zram_meta_alloc under init_lock due to lockdep splat because
      zram_rw_page is one of the function under reclaim path and hold it as
      read_lock while other places in process context hold it as write_lock.
      So, we have used allocation out of the lock to avoid lockdep warn but
      it's not good for readability and fainally, I met another lockdep splat
      between init_lock and cpu_hotplug from kmem_cache_destroy during working
      zsmalloc compaction.  :(
      
      Yes, the ideal is to remove horrible init_lock of zram in rw path.  This
      patch removes it in rw path and instead, add atomic refcount for meta
      lifetime management and completion to free meta in process context.
      It's important to free meta in process context because some of resource
      destruction needs mutex lock, which could be held if we releases the
      resource in reclaim context so it's deadlock, again.
      
      As a bonus, we could remove init_done check in rw path because
      zram_meta_get will do a role for it, instead.

      The warning comes from bdev_write_node in blkdev_put path.
      
         static void bdev_write_inode(struct inode *inode)
         {
              spin_lock(&inode->i_lock);

                      spin_lock(&inode->i_lock);
              }
              spin_unlock(&inode->i_lock);
         }
      
      The reason is dd process encounters I/O fails due to sudden block device
      disappear so in filemap_check_errors in __writeback_single_inode returns
      -EIO.
      
      If we check bd_openers instead of bd_holders, we could address the
      problem.  When I see the brd, it already have used it rather than
      bd_holders so although I'm not a expert of block layer, it seems to be
      better.
      
      I can make following warning with below simple script.  In addition, I
      added msleep(2000) below set_capacity(zram->disk, 0) after applying your
      patch to make window huge(Kudos to Ganesh!)
      
      script:
      
         echo $((60<<30)) > /sys/block/zram0/disksize
         setsid dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/zram0 &
         sleep 1

      zram: rework reset and destroy path · a096cafc
      Sergey Senozhatsky authored
      We need to return set_capacity(disk, 0) from reset_store() back to
      zram_reset_device(), a catch by Ganesh Mahendran.  Potentially, we can
      race set_capacity() calls from init and reset paths.
      
      The problem is that zram_reset_device() is also getting called from
      zram_exit(), which performs operations in misleading reversed order -- we
      first create_device() and then init it, while zram_exit() perform
      destroy_device() first and then does zram_reset_device().  This is done to
      remove sysfs group before we reset device, so we can continue with device
      reset/destruction not being raced by sysfs attr write (f.e.  disksize).
      
      Apart from that, destroy_device() releases zram->disk (but we still have
      ->disk pointer), so we cannot acces zram->disk in later
      zram_reset_device() call, which may cause additional errors in the future.
      
      So, this patch rework and cleanup destroy path.
      
      1) remove several unneeded goto labels in zram_init()
      
      2) factor out zram_init() error path and zram_exit() into
         destroy_devices() function, which takes the number of devices to
         destroy as its argument.
      
      3) remove sysfs group in destroy_devices() first, so we can reorder
         operations -- reset device (as expected) goes before disk destroy and
         queue cleanup.  So we can always access ->disk in zram_reset_device().
      
      4) and, finally, return set_capacity() back under ->init_lock.

      zram: fix umount-reset_store-mount race condition · ba6b17d6
      Sergey Senozhatsky authored
      Ganesh Mahendran was the first one who proposed to use bdev->bd_mutex to
      avoid ->bd_holders race condition:
      
              CPU0                            CPU1
      umount /* zram->init_done is true */
      reset_store()
      bdev->bd_holders == 0                   mount
      ...                                     zram_make_request()
      zram_reset_device()
      
      However, his solution required some considerable amount of code movement,
      which we can avoid.
      
      Apart from using bdev->bd_mutex in reset_store(), this patch also
      simplifies zram_reset_device().
      
      zram_reset_device() has a bool parameter reset_capacity which tells it
      whether disk capacity and itself disk should be reset.  There are two
      zram_reset_device() callers:
      
      -- zram_exit() passes reset_capacity=false
      -- reset_store() passes reset_capacity=true
      
      So we can move reset_capacity-sensitive work out of zram_reset_device()
      and perform it unconditionally in reset_store().  This also lets us drop
      reset_capacity parameter from zram_reset_device() and pass zram pointer
      only.

      mm: fix negative nr_isolated counts · ff59909a
      Hugh Dickins authored
      The vmstat interfaces are good at hiding negative counts (at least when
      CONFIG_SMP); but if you peer behind the curtain, you find that
      nr_isolated_anon and nr_isolated_file soon go negative, and grow ever
      more negative: so they can absorb larger and larger numbers of isolated
      pages, yet still appear to be zero.
      
      I'm happy to avoid a congestion_wait() when too_many_isolated() myself;
      but I guess it's there for a good reason, in which case we ought to get
      too_many_isolated() working again.
      
      The imbalance comes from isolate_migratepages()'s ISOLATE_ABORT case:
      putback_movable_pages() decrements the NR_ISOLATED counts, but we forgot
      to call acct_isolated() to increment them.
      
      It is possible that the bug whcih this patch fixes could cause OOM kills
      when the system still has a lot of reclaimable page cache.

      mm: hwpoison: drop lru_add_drain_all() in __soft_offline_page() · 9ab3b598
      Naoya Horiguchi authored
      A race condition starts to be visible in recent mmotm, where a PG_hwpoison
      flag is set on a migration source page *before* it's back in buddy page
      poo= l.
      
      This is problematic because no page flag is supposed to be set when
      freeing (see __free_one_page().) So the user-visible effect of this race
      is that it could trigger the BUG_ON() when soft-offlining is called.
      
      The root cause is that we call lru_add_drain_all() to make sure that the
      page is in buddy, but that doesn't work because this function just
      schedule= s a work item and doesn't wait its completion.
      drain_all_pages() does drainin= g directly, so simply dropping
      lru_add_drain_all() solves this problem.

      mm/compaction: stop the isolation when we isolate enough freepage · 932ff6bb
      Joonsoo Kim authored
      Currently, freepage isolation in one pageblock doesn't consider how many
      freepages we isolate. When I traced flow of compaction, compaction
      sometimes isolates more than 256 freepages to migrate just 32 pages.
      
      In this patch, freepage isolation is stopped at the point that we
      have more isolated freepage than isolated page for migration. This
      results in slowing down free page scanner and make compaction success
      rate higher.
      
      stress-highalloc test in mmtests with non movable order 7 allocation shows
      increase of compaction success rate.
      
      Compaction success rate (Compaction success * 100 / Compaction stalls, %)
      27.13 : 31.82
      
      pfn where both scanners meets on compaction complete
      (separate test due to enormous tracepoint buffer)
      (zone_start=4096, zone_end=1048576)
      586034 : 654378
      
      In fact, I didn't fully understand why this patch results in such good
      result. There was a guess that not used freepages are released to pcp list
      and on next compaction trial we won't isolate them again so compaction
      success rate would decrease. To prevent this effect, I tested with adding
      pcp drain code on release_freepages(), but, it has no good effect.
      
      Anyway, this patch reduces waste time to isolate unneeded freepages so
      seems reasonable.

      mm/compaction: fix wrong order check in compact_finished() · 372549c2
      Joonsoo Kim authored
      What we want to check here is whether there is highorder freepage in buddy
      list of other migratetype in order to steal it without fragmentation.
      But, current code just checks cc->order which means allocation request
      order.  So, this is wrong.
      
      Without this fix, non-movable synchronous compaction below pageblock order
      would not stopped until compaction is complete, because migratetype of
      most pageblocks are movable and high order freepage made by compaction is
      usually on movable type buddy list.
      
      There is some report related to this bug. See below link.
      
        http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-mm/msg81666.html
      
      Although the issued system still has load spike comes from compaction,
      this makes that system completely stable and responsive according to his
      report.
      
      stress-highalloc test in mmtests with non movable order 7 allocation
      doesn't show any notable difference in allocation success rate, but, it
      shows more compaction success rate.

      slub: make dead caches discard free slabs immediately · d6e0b7fa
      Vladimir Davydov authored
      To speed up further allocations SLUB may store empty slabs in per cpu/node
      partial lists instead of freeing them immediately.  This prevents per
      memcg caches destruction, because kmem caches created for a memory cgroup
      are only destroyed after the last page charged to the cgroup is freed.
      
      To fix this issue, this patch resurrects approach first proposed in [1].
      It forbids SLUB to cache empty slabs after the memory cgroup that the
      cache belongs to was destroyed.  It is achieved by setting kmem_cache's
      cpu_partial and min_partial constants to 0 and tuning put_cpu_partial() so
      that it would drop frozen empty slabs immediately if cpu_partial = 0.
      
      The runtime overhead is minimal.  From all the hot functions, we only
      touch relatively cold put_cpu_partial(): we make it call
      unfreeze_partials() after freezing a slab that belongs to an offline
      memory cgroup.  Since slab freezing exists to avoid moving slabs from/to a
      partial list on free/alloc, and there can't be allocations from dead
      caches, it shouldn't cause any overhead.  We do have to disable preemption
      for put_cpu_partial() to achieve that though.
      
      The original patch was accepted well and even merged to the mm tree.
      However, I decided to withdraw it due to changes happening to the memcg
      core at that time.  I had an idea of introducing per-memcg shrinkers for
      kmem caches, but now, as memcg has finally settled down, I do not see it
      as an option, because SLUB shrinker would be too costly to call since SLUB
      does not keep free slabs on a separate list.  Besides, we currently do not
      even call per-memcg shrinkers for offline memcgs.  Overall, it would
      introduce much more complexity to both SLUB and memcg than this small
      patch.
      
      Regarding to SLAB, there's no problem with it, because it shrinks
      per-cpu/node caches periodically.  Thanks to list_lru reparenting, we no
      longer keep entries for offline cgroups in per-memcg arrays (such as
      memcg_cache_params->memcg_caches), so we do not have to bother if a
      per-memcg cache will be shrunk a bit later than it could be.

      slub: fix kmem_cache_shrink return value · ce3712d7
      Vladimir Davydov authored
      It is supposed to return 0 if the cache has no remaining objects and 1
      otherwise, while currently it always returns 0.  Fix it.
