      dmapool: fix overflow condition in pool_find_page() · 676bd991
      Robin Murphy authored 
      If a DMA pool lies at the very top of the dma_addr_t range (as may
happen with an IOMMU involved), the calculated end address of the pool
wraps around to zero, and page lookup always fails.

Tweak the relevant calculation to be overflow-proof.

      kprobes: use _do_fork() in samples to make them work again · 54aea454
      Petr Mladek authored 
      Commit 3033f14a ("clone: support passing tls argument via C rather
than pt_regs magic") introduced _do_fork() that allowed to pass @tls
parameter.

The old do_fork() is defined only for architectures that are not ready
to use this way and do not define HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS.

Let's use _do_fork() in the kprobe examples to make them work again on
all architectures.

      memcg: make mem_cgroup_read_stat() unsigned · 484ebb3b
      Greg Thelen authored 
      mem_cgroup_read_stat() returns a page count by summing per cpu page
counters.  The summing is racy wrt.  updates, so a transient negative
sum is possible.  Callers don't want negative values:

 - mem_cgroup_wb_stats() doesn't want negative nr_dirty or nr_writeback.
   This could confuse dirty throttling.

 - oom reports and memory.stat shouldn't show confusing negative usage.

 - tree_usage() already avoids negatives.

Avoid returning negative page counts from mem_cgroup_read_stat() and
convert it to unsigned.

      memcg: fix dirty page migration · 0610c25d
      Greg Thelen authored 
      The problem starts with a file backed dirty page which is charged to a
memcg.  Then page migration is used to move oldpage to newpage.

Migration:
 - copies the oldpage's data to newpage
 - clears oldpage.PG_dirty
 - sets newpage.PG_dirty
 - uncharges oldpage from memcg
 - charges newpage to memcg

Clearing oldpage.PG_dirty decrements the charged memcg's dirty page
count.

However, because newpage is not yet charged, setting newpage.PG_dirty
does not increment the memcg's dirty page count.  After migration
completes newpage.PG_dirty is eventually cleared, often in
account_page_cleaned().  At this time newpage is charged to a memcg so
the memcg's dirty page count is decremented which causes underflow
because the count was not previously incremented by migration.  This
underflow causes balance_dirty_pages() to see a very large unsigned
number of dirty memcg pages which leads to aggressive throttling of
buffered writes by processes in non root memcg.

This issue:
 - can harm performance of non root memcg buffered writes.
 - can report too small (even negative) values in
   memory.stat[(total_)dirty] counters of all memcg, including the root.

To avoid polluting migrate.c with #ifdef CONFIG_MEMCG checks, introduce
page_memcg() and set_page_memcg() helpers.

Test:
    0) setup and enter limited memcg
    mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/test
    echo 1G > /sys/fs/cgroup/test/memory.limit_in_bytes
    echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/test/cgroup.procs

    1) buffered writes baseline
    dd if=/dev/zero of=/data/tmp/foo bs=1M count=1k
    sync
    grep ^dirty /sys/fs/cgroup/test/memory.stat

    2) buffered writes with compaction antagonist to induce migration
    yes 1 > /proc/sys/vm/compact_memory &
    rm -rf /data/tmp/foo
    dd if=/dev/zero of=/data/tmp/foo bs=1M count=1k
    kill %
    sync
    grep ^dirty /sys/fs/cgroup/test/memory.stat

    3) buffered writes without antagonist, should match baseline
    rm -rf /data/tmp/foo
    dd if=/dev/zero of=/data/tmp/foo bs=1M count=1k
    sync
    grep ^dirty /sys/fs/cgroup/test/memory.stat

                       (speed, dirty residue)
             unpatched                       patched
    1) 841 MB/s 0 dirty pages          886 MB/s 0 dirty pages
    2) 611 MB/s -33427456 dirty pages  793 MB/s 0 dirty pages
    3) 114 MB/s -33427456 dirty pages  891 MB/s 0 dirty pages

    Notice that unpatched baseline performance (1) fell after
    migration (3): 841 -> 114 MB/s.  In the patched kernel, post
    migration performance matches baseline.

      mm: hugetlbfs: skip shared VMAs when unmapping private pages to satisfy a fault · 2f84a899
      Mel Gorman authored 
      SunDong reported the following on

  https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=103841

	I think I find a linux bug, I have the test cases is constructed. I
	can stable recurring problems in fedora22(4.0.4) kernel version,
	arch for x86_64.  I construct transparent huge page, when the parent
	and child process with MAP_SHARE, MAP_PRIVATE way to access the same
	huge page area, it has the opportunity to lead to huge page copy on
	write failure, and then it will munmap the child corresponding mmap
	area, but then the child mmap area with VM_MAYSHARE attributes, child
	process munmap this area can trigger VM_BUG_ON in set_vma_resv_flags
	functions (vma - > vm_flags & VM_MAYSHARE).

There were a number of problems with the report (e.g.  it's hugetlbfs that
triggers this, not transparent huge pages) but it was fundamentally
correct in that a VM_BUG_ON in set_vma_resv_flags() can be triggered that
looks like this

	 vma ffff8804651fd0d0 start 00007fc474e00000 end 00007fc475e00000
	 next ffff8804651fd018 prev ffff8804651fd188 mm ffff88046b1b1800
	 prot 8000000000000027 anon_vma           (null) vm_ops ffffffff8182a7a0
	 pgoff 0 file ffff88106bdb9800 private_data           (null)
	 flags: 0x84400fb(read|write|shared|mayread|maywrite|mayexec|mayshare|dontexpand|hugetlb)
	 ------------
	 kernel BUG at mm/hugetlb.c:462!
	 SMP
	 Modules linked in: xt_pkttype xt_LOG xt_limit [..]
	 CPU: 38 PID: 26839 Comm: map Not tainted 4.0.4-default #1
	 Hardware name: Dell Inc. PowerEdge R810/0TT6JF, BIOS 2.7.4 04/26/2012
	 set_vma_resv_flags+0x2d/0x30

The VM_BUG_ON is correct because private and shared mappings have
different reservation accounting but the warning clearly shows that the
VMA is shared.

When a private COW fails to allocate a new page then only the process
that created the VMA gets the page -- all the children unmap the page.
If the children access that data in the future then they get killed.

The problem is that the same file is mapped shared and private.  During
the COW, the allocation fails, the VMAs are traversed to unmap the other
private pages but a shared VMA is found and the bug is triggered.  This
patch identifies such VMAs and skips them.

      mm/slab: fix unexpected index mapping result of kmalloc_size(INDEX_NODE+1) · 03a2d2a3
      Joonsoo Kim authored 
      Commit description is copied from the original post of this bug:

  http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.mm/135349

Kernels after v3.9 use kmalloc_size(INDEX_NODE + 1) to get the next
larger cache size than the size index INDEX_NODE mapping.  In kernels
3.9 and earlier we used malloc_sizes[INDEX_L3 + 1].cs_size.

However, sometimes we can't get the right output we expected via
kmalloc_size(INDEX_NODE + 1), causing a BUG().

The mapping table in the latest kernel is like:
    index = {0,   1,  2 ,  3,  4,   5,   6,   n}
     size = {0,   96, 192, 8, 16,  32,  64,   2^n}
The mapping table before 3.10 is like this:
    index = {0 , 1 , 2,   3,  4 ,  5 ,  6,   n}
    size  = {32, 64, 96, 128, 192, 256, 512, 2^(n+3)}

The problem on my mips64 machine is as follows:

(1) When configured DEBUG_SLAB && DEBUG_PAGEALLOC && DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC
    && DEBUG_SPINLOCK, the sizeof(struct kmem_cache_node) will be "150",
    and the macro INDEX_NODE turns out to be "2": #define INDEX_NODE
    kmalloc_index(sizeof(struct kmem_cache_node))

(2) Then the result of kmalloc_size(INDEX_NODE + 1) is 8.

(3) Then "if(size >= kmalloc_size(INDEX_NODE + 1)" will lead to "size
    = PAGE_SIZE".

(4) Then "if ((size >= (PAGE_SIZE >> 3))" test will be satisfied and
    "flags |= CFLGS_OFF_SLAB" will be covered.

(5) if (flags & CFLGS_OFF_SLAB)" test will be satisfied and will go to
    "cachep->slabp_cache = kmalloc_slab(slab_size, 0u)", and the result
    here may be NULL while kernel bootup.

(6) Finally,"BUG_ON(ZERO_OR_NULL_PTR(cachep->slabp_cache));" causes the
    BUG info as the following shows (may be only mips64 has this problem):

This patch fixes the problem of kmalloc_size(INDEX_NODE + 1) and removes
the BUG by adding 'size >= 256' check to guarantee that all necessary
small sized slabs are initialized regardless sequence of slab size in
mapping table.

      userfaultfd: remove kernel header include from uapi header · 9ff42d10
      Andre Przywara authored 
      As include/uapi/linux/userfaultfd.h is a user visible header file, it
should not include kernel-exclusive header files.

So trying to build the userfaultfd test program from the selftests
directory fails, since it contains a reference to linux/compiler.h.  As
it turns out, that header is not really needed there, so we can simply
remove it to fix that issue.

While the lockdep splat is a false positive, becuase path_openat holds i_mutex
of the parent directory and ubifs_init_security() tries to acquire i_mutex
of a new inode, it reveals that taking i_mutex in ubifs_init_security() is
in vain because it is only being called in the inode allocation path
and therefore nobody else can see the inode yet.
