The following path will cause array out of bound. memblock_add_region() will always set nid in memblock.reserved to MAX_NUMNODES. In numa_register_memblks(), after we set all nid to correct valus in memblock.reserved, we called setup_node_data(), and used memblock_alloc_nid() to allocate memory, with nid set to MAX_NUMNODES. The nodemask_t type can be seen as a bit array. And the index is 0 ~ MAX_NUMNODES-1. After that, when we call node_set() in numa_clear_kernel_node_hotplug(), the nodemask_t got an index of value MAX_NUMNODES, which is out of [0 ~ MAX_NUMNODES-1]. See below: numa_init() |---> numa_register_memblks() | |---> memblock_set_node(memory) set correct nid in memblock.memory | |---> memblock_set_node(reserved) set correct nid in memblock.reserved | |...... | |---> setup_node_data() | |---> memblock_alloc_nid() here, nid is set to MAX_NUMNODES (1024) |...... |---> numa_clear_kernel_node_hotplug() |---> node_set() here, we have an index 1024, and overflowed This patch moves nid setting to numa_clear_kernel_node_hotplug() to fix this problem.

During aio stress test, we observed the following lockdep warning. This mean AIO+numa_balancing is currently deadlockable. The problem is, aio_migratepage disable interrupt, but __set_page_dirty_nobuffers unintentionally enable it again. Generally, all helper function should use spin_lock_irqsave() instead of spin_lock_irq() because they don't know caller at all. other info that might help us debug this: Possible unsafe locking scenario: CPU0 ---- lock(&(&ctx->completion_lock)->rlock); <Interrupt> lock(&(&ctx->completion_lock)->rlock); *** DEADLOCK *** dump_stack+0x19/0x1b print_usage_bug+0x1f7/0x208 mark_lock+0x21d/0x2a0 mark_held_locks+0xb9/0x140 trace_hardirqs_on_caller+0x105/0x1d0 trace_hardirqs_on+0xd/0x10 _raw_spin_unlock_irq+0x2c/0x50 __set_page_dirty_nobuffers+0x8c/0xf0 migrate_page_copy+0x434/0x540 aio_migratepage+0xb1/0x140 move_to_new_page+0x7d/0x230 migrate_pages+0x5e5/0x700 migrate_misplaced_page+0xbc/0xf0 do_numa_page+0x102/0x190 handle_pte_fault+0x241/0x970 handle_mm_fault+0x265/0x370 __do_page_fault+0x172/0x5a0 do_page_fault+0x1a/0x70 page_fault+0x28/0x30 Signed-off-by: KOSAKI Motohiro <kosaki.motohiro@jp.fujitsu.com> Cc: Larry Woodman <lwoodman@redhat.com> Cc: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Cc: Johannes Weiner <jweiner@redhat.com> Acked-by: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

swapoff clear swap_info's SWP_USED flag prematurely and free its resources after that. A concurrent swapon will reuse this swap_info while its previous resources are not cleared completely. These late freed resources are: - p->percpu_cluster - swap_cgroup_ctrl[type] - block_device setting - inode->i_flags &= ~S_SWAPFILE This patch clears the SWP_USED flag after all its resources are freed, so that swapon can reuse this swap_info by alloc_swap_info() safely.

Shaohua Li authored
This is a patch to improve swap readahead algorithm. It's from Hugh and I slightly changed it. Hugh's original changelog: swapin readahead does a blind readahead, whether or not the swapin is sequential. This may be ok on harddisk, because large reads have relatively small costs, and if the readahead pages are unneeded they can be reclaimed easily - though, what if their allocation forced reclaim of useful pages? But on SSD devices large reads are more expensive than small ones: if the readahead pages are unneeded, reading them in caused significant overhead. This patch adds very simplistic random read detection. Stealing the PageReadahead technique from Konstantin Khlebnikov's patch, avoiding the vma/anon_vma sophistications of Shaohua Li's patch, swapin_nr_pages() simply looks at readahead's current success rate, and narrows or widens its readahead window accordingly. There is little science to its heuristic: it's about as stupid as can be whilst remaining effective. The table below shows elapsed times (in centiseconds) when running a single repetitive swapping load across a 1000MB mapping in 900MB ram with 1GB swap (the harddisk tests had taken painfully too long when I used mem=500M, but SSD shows similar results for that). Vanilla is the 3.6-rc7 kernel on which I started; Shaohua denotes his Sep 3 patch in mmotm and linux-next; HughOld denotes my Oct 1 patch which Shaohua showed to be defective; HughNew this Nov 14 patch, with page_cluster as usual at default of 3 (8-page reads); HughPC4 this same patch with page_cluster 4 (16-page reads); HughPC0 with page_cluster 0 (1-page reads: no readahead). HDD for swapping to harddisk, SSD for swapping to VertexII SSD. Seq for sequential access to the mapping, cycling five times around; Rand for the same number of random touches. Anon for a MAP_PRIVATE anon mapping; Shmem for a MAP_SHARED anon mapping, equivalent to tmpfs. One weakness of Shaohua's vma/anon_vma approach was that it did not optimize Shmem: seen below. Konstantin's approach was perhaps mistuned, 50% slower on Seq: did not compete and is not shown below. HDD Vanilla Shaohua HughOld HughNew HughPC4 HughPC0 Seq Anon 73921 76210 75611 76904 78191 121542 Seq Shmem 73601 73176 73855 72947 74543 118322 Rand Anon 895392 831243 871569 845197 846496 841680 Rand Shmem 1058375 1053486 827935 764955 764376 756489 SSD Vanilla Shaohua HughOld HughNew HughPC4 HughPC0 Seq Anon 24634 24198 24673 25107 21614 70018 Seq Shmem 24959 24932 25052 25703 22030 69678 Rand Anon 43014 26146 28075 25989 26935 25901 Rand Shmem 45349 45215 28249 24268 24138 24332 These tests are, of course, two extremes of a very simple case: under heavier mixed loads I've not yet observed any consistent improvement or degradation, and wider testing would be welcome. Shaohua Li: Test shows Vanilla is slightly better in sequential workload than Hugh's patch. I observed with Hugh's patch sometimes the readahead size is shrinked too fast (from 8 to 1 immediately) in sequential workload if there is no hit. And in such case, continuing doing readahead is good actually. I don't prepare a sophisticated algorithm for the sequential workload because so far we can't guarantee sequential accessed pages are swap out sequentially. So I slightly change Hugh's heuristic - don't shrink readahead size too fast. Here is my test result (unit second, 3 runs average): Vanilla Hugh New Seq 356 370 360 Random 4525 2447 2444 Attached graph is the swapin/swapout throughput I collected with 'vmstat 2'. The first part is running a random workload (till around 1200 of the x-axis) and the second part is running a sequential workload. swapin and swapout throughput are almost identical in steady state in both workloads. These are expected behavior. while in Vanilla, swapin is much bigger than swapout especially in random workload (because wrong readahead). Original patches by: Shaohua Li and Konstantin Khlebnikov.

Even if using the same jbd2 handle, we cannot rollback a transaction. So once some error occurs after successfully allocating clusters, the allocated clusters will never be used and it means they are lost. For example, call ocfs2_claim_clusters successfully when expanding a file, but failed in ocfs2_insert_extent. So we need free the allocated clusters if they are not used indeed.

It can take some time to validate the image, make sure {allyes|allmod}config doesn't enable it.

This changes 'do_execve()' to get the executable name as a 'struct filename', and to free it when it is done. This is what the normal users want, and it simplifies and streamlines their error handling. The controlled lifetime of the executable name also fixes a use-after-free problem with the trace_sched_process_exec tracepoint: the lifetime of the passed-in string for kernel users was not at all obvious, and the user-mode helper code used UMH_WAIT_EXEC to serialize the pathname allocation lifetime with the execve() having finished, which in turn meant that the trace point that happened after mm_release() of the old process VM ended up using already free'd memory. To solve the kernel string lifetime issue, this simply introduces "getname_kernel()" that works like the normal user-space getname() function, except with the source coming from kernel memory. As Oleg points out, this also means that we could drop the tcomm[] array from 'struct linux_binprm', since the pathname lifetime now covers setup_new_exec(). That would be a separate cleanup.

It really isn't very interesting to have DEBUG_INFO when doing compile coverage stuff (you wouldn't want to run the result anyway, that's kind of the whole point of COMPILE_TEST), and it currently makes the build take longer and use much more disk space for "all{yes,mod}config". There's somewhat active discussion about this still, and we might end up with some new config option for things like this (Andi points out that the silly X86_DECODER_SELFTEST option also slows down the normal coverage tests hugely), but I'm starting the ball rolling with this simple one-liner. DEBUG_INFO isn't that noticeable if you have tons of memory and a good IO subsystem, but it hurts you a lot if you don't - for very little upside for the common use.

It seems that when init_btrfs_fs() is called, crc32c/crc32c-intel might not always be already initialized, which results in the call to crypto_alloc_shash() returning -ENOENT, as experienced by Ahmet who reported this. Therefore make sure init_btrfs_fs() is called after crc32c is initialized (which is at initialization level 6, module_init), by using late_initcall (which is at initialization level 7) instead of module_init for btrfs.

After the commit titled "Btrfs: fix btrfs boot when compiled as built-in", LIBCRC32C requirement was removed from btrfs' Kconfig. This made it not possible to build a kernel with btrfs enabled (either as module or built-in) if libcrc32c is not enabled as well. So just replace all uses of libcrc32c with the equivalent function in btrfs hash.h - btrfs_crc32c.

HPFS needs to load 4 consecutive 512-byte sectors when accessing the directory nodes or bitmaps. We can't switch to 2048-byte block size because files are allocated in the units of 512-byte sectors. Previously, the driver would allocate a 2048-byte area using kmalloc, copy the data from four buffers to this area and eventually copy them back if they were modified. In the current implementation of the buffer cache, buffers are allocated in the pagecache. That means that 4 consecutive 512-byte buffers are stored in consecutive areas in the kernel address space. So, we don't need to allocate extra memory and copy the content of the buffers there. This patch optimizes the code to avoid copying the buffers. It checks if the four buffers are stored in contiguous memory - if they are not, it falls back to allocating a 2048-byte area and copying data there.

Previously, hpfs scanned all bitmaps each time the user asked for free space using statfs. This patch changes it so that hpfs scans the bitmaps only once, remembes the free space and on next invocation of statfs it returns the value instantly. New versions of wine are hammering on the statfs syscall very heavily, making some games unplayable when they're stored on hpfs, with load times in minutes. This should be backported to the stable kernels because it fixes user-visible problem (excessive level load times in wine).

The built-in ROM fonts lack many necessary ASCII characters, which is why it makes sens to prefer the Linux fonts instead if they are available. This makes consoles on STI graphics cards which are not supported by the stifb driver (e.g. Visualize FXe) looks much nicer.
