      rapidio/tsi721: fix queue wrapping bug in inbound doorbell handler · b24823e6
      Alexandre Bounine authored
      Fix a bug that causes a kernel panic when the number of received doorbells
      is larger than number of entries in the inbound doorbell queue (current
      default value = 512).
      
      Another possible indication for this bug is large number of spurious
      doorbells reported by tsi721 driver after reaching the queue size maximum.

      Naoya Horiguchi authored
      Currently the charge on shared anonyous pages is supposed not to moved in
      task migration.  To implement this, we need to check that mapcount > 1,
      instread of > 2.  So this patch fixes it.

      mm: thp: fix BUG on mm->nr_ptes · 1c641e84
      Andrea Arcangeli authored
      Dave Jones reports a few Fedora users hitting the BUG_ON(mm->nr_ptes...)
      in exit_mmap() recently.
      
      Quoting Hugh's discovery and explanation of the SMP race condition:
      
        "mm->nr_ptes had unusual locking: down_read mmap_sem plus
         page_table_lock when incrementing, down_write mmap_sem (or mm_users
         0) when decrementing; whereas THP is careful to increment and
         decrement it under page_table_lock.
      
         Now most of those paths in THP also hold mmap_sem for read or write
         (with appropriate checks on mm_users), but two do not: when
         split_huge_page() is called by hwpoison_user_mappings(), and when
         called by add_to_swap().
      
         It's conceivable that the latter case is responsible for the
         exit_mmap() BUG_ON mm->nr_ptes that has been reported on Fedora."
      
      The simplest way to fix it without having to alter the locking is to make
      split_huge_page() a noop in nr_ptes terms, so by counting the preallocated
      pagetables that exists for every mapped hugepage.  It was an arbitrary
      choice not to count them and either way is not wrong or right, because
      they are not used but they're still allocated.

      memcg: fix GPF when cgroup removal races with last exit · 7512102c
      Hugh Dickins authored
      When moving tasks from old memcg (with move_charge_at_immigrate on new
      memcg), followed by removal of old memcg, hit General Protection Fault in
      mem_cgroup_lru_del_list() (called from release_pages called from
      free_pages_and_swap_cache from tlb_flush_mmu from tlb_finish_mmu from
      exit_mmap from mmput from exit_mm from do_exit).
      
      Somewhat reproducible, takes a few hours: the old struct mem_cgroup has
      been freed and poisoned by SLAB_DEBUG, but mem_cgroup_lru_del_list() is
      still trying to update its stats, and take page off lru before freeing.
      
      A task, or a charge, or a page on lru: each secures a memcg against
      removal.  In this case, the last task has been moved out of the old memcg,
      and it is exiting: anonymous pages are uncharged one by one from the
      memcg, as they are zapped from its pagetables, so the charge gets down to
      0; but the pages themselves are queued in an mmu_gather for freeing.
      
      Most of those pages will be on lru (and force_empty is careful to
      lru_add_drain_all, to add pages from pagevec to lru first), but not
      necessarily all: perhaps some have been isolated for page reclaim, perhaps
      some isolated for other reasons.  So, force_empty may find no task, no
      charge and no page on lru, and let the removal proceed.
      
      There would still be no problem if these pages were immediately freed; but
      typically (and the put_page_testzero protocol demands it) they have to be
      added back to lru before they are found freeable, then removed from lru
      and freed.  We don't see the issue when adding, because the
      mem_cgroup_iter() loops keep their own reference to the memcg being
      scanned; but when it comes to mem_cgroup_lru_del_list().
      
      I believe this was not an issue in v3.2: there, PageCgroupAcctLRU and
      PageCgroupUsed flags were used (like a trick with mirrors) to deflect view
      of pc->mem_cgroup to the stable root_mem_cgroup when neither set.
      38c5d72f ("memcg: simplify LRU handling by new rule") mercifully
      removed those convolutions, but left this General Protection Fault.
      
      But it's surprisingly easy to restore the old behaviour: just check
      PageCgroupUsed in mem_cgroup_lru_add_list() (which decides on which lruvec
      to add), and reset pc to root_mem_cgroup if page is uncharged.  A risky
      change?  just going back to how it worked before; testing, and an audit of
      uses of pc->mem_cgroup, show no problem.
      
      And there's a nice bonus: with mem_cgroup_lru_add_list() itself making
      sure that an uncharged page goes to root lru, mem_cgroup_reset_owner() no
      longer has any purpose, and we can safely revert 4e5f01c2 ("memcg:
      clear pc->mem_cgroup if necessary").
      
      Calling update_page_reclaim_stat() after add_page_to_lru_list() in swap.c
      is not strictly necessary: the lru_lock there, with RCU before memcg
      structures are freed, makes mem_cgroup_get_reclaim_stat_from_page safe
      without that; but it seems cleaner to rely on one dependency less.

      debugobjects: Fix selftest for static warnings · 9f78ff00
      Stephen Boyd authored
      debugobjects is now printing a warning when a fixup for a NOTAVAILABLE
      object is run.  This causes the selftest to fail like:
      
      	ODEBUG: selftest warnings failed 4 != 5
      
      We could just increase the number of warnings that the selftest is
      expecting to see because that is actually what has changed.  But, it turns
      out that fixup_activate() was written with inverted logic and thus a fixup
      for a static object returned 1 indicating the object had been fixed, and 0
      otherwise.  Fix the logic to be correct and update the counts to reflect
      that nothing needed fixing for a static object.

      memcg: fix deadlock by inverting lrucare nesting · 9ce70c02
      Hugh Dickins authored
      We have forgotten the rules of lock nesting: the irq-safe ones must be
      taken inside the non-irq-safe ones, otherwise we are open to deadlock:
      
      CPU0                          CPU1
      ----                          ----
      lock(&(&pc->lock)->rlock);
                                    local_irq_disable();
                                    lock(&(&zone->lru_lock)->rlock);
                                    lock(&(&pc->lock)->rlock);
      <Interrupt>
      lock(&(&zone->lru_lock)->rlock);
      
      To check a different locking issue, I happened to add a spin_lock to
      memcg's bit_spin_lock in lock_page_cgroup(), and lockdep very quickly
      complained about __mem_cgroup_commit_charge_lrucare() (on CPU1 above).
      
      So delete __mem_cgroup_commit_charge_lrucare(), passing a bool lrucare to
      __mem_cgroup_commit_charge() instead, taking zone->lru_lock under
      lock_page_cgroup() in the lrucare case.
      
      The original was using spin_lock_irqsave, but we'd be in more trouble if
      it were ever called at interrupt time: unconditional _irq is enough.  And
      ClearPageLRU before del from lru, SetPageLRU before add to lru: no strong
      reason, but that is the ordering used consistently elsewhere.
      
      Fixes 36b62ad5 ("memcg: simplify corner case handling
      of LRU").

      hung_task: fix the broken rcu_lock_break() logic · 6027ce49
      Oleg Nesterov authored
      check_hung_uninterruptible_tasks()->rcu_lock_break() introduced by
      "softlockup: check all tasks in hung_task" commit ce9dbe24 looks
      absolutely wrong.
      
      	- rcu_lock_break() does put_task_struct(). If the task has exited
      	  it is not safe to even read its ->state, nothing protects this
      	  task_struct.
      
      	- The TASK_DEAD checks are wrong too. Contrary to the comment, we
      	  can't use it to check if the task was unhashed. It can be unhashed
      	  without TASK_DEAD, or it can be valid with TASK_DEAD.
      
      	  For example, an autoreaping task can do release_task(current)
      	  long before it sets TASK_DEAD in do_exit().
      
      	  Or, a zombie task can have ->state == TASK_DEAD but release_task()
      	  was not called, and in this case we must not break the loop.
      
      Change this code to check pid_alive() instead, and do this before we drop
      the reference to the task_struct.
      
      Note: while_each_thread() under rcu_read_lock() is not really safe, it can
      livelock.  This will be fixed later, but fortunately in this case the
      "max_count" logic saves us anyway.

      with our child.
      
      However, in this case we should clear child->vfork_done before return, we
      use task_lock() in do_fork()->wait_for_vfork_done() and
      complete_vfork_done() to serialize with each other.
      
      Note: now that we use task_lock() we don't really need completion, we
      could turn task->vfork_done into "task_struct *wake_up_me" but this needs
      some complications.
      
      NOTE: this and the next patches do not affect in-kernel users of
      CLONE_VFORK, kernel threads run with all signals ignored including
      SIGKILL/SIGSTOP.
      
      However this is obviously the user-visible change.  Not only a fatal
      signal can kill the vforking parent, a sub-thread can do execve or
      exit_group() and kill the thread sleeping in vfork().

      aio: wake up waiters when freeing unused kiocbs · 880641bb
      Jeff Moyer authored
      Bart Van Assche reported a hung fio process when either hot-removing
      storage or when interrupting the fio process itself.  The (pruned) call
      trace for the latter looks like so:

        Call Trace:

          do_notify_resume+0x65/0x80
          int_signal+0x12/0x17
      
      The problem lies with the allocation batching code.  It will
      opportunistically allocate kiocbs, and then trim back the list of iocbs
      when there is not enough room in the completion ring to hold all of the
      events.
      
      In the case above, what happens is that the pruning back of events ends
      up freeing up the last active request and the context is marked as dead,
      so it is thus responsible for waking up waiters.  Unfortunately, the
      code does not check for this condition, so we end up with a hung task.

      kprobes: return proper error code from register_kprobe() · f986a499
      Prashanth Nageshappa authored
      register_kprobe() aborts if the address of the new request falls in a
      prohibited area (such as ftrace pouch, __kprobes annotated functions,
      non-kernel text addresses, jump label text).  We however don't return the
      right error on this abort, resulting in a silent failure - incorrect
      adding/reporting of kprobes ('perf probe do_fork+18' or 'perf probe
      mcount' for instance).
      
      In V2 we are incorporating Masami Hiramatsu's  feedback.
      
      This patch fixes it by returning -EINVAL upon failure.
      
      While we are here, rename the label used for exit to be more appropriate.

      kmsg_dump: don't run on non-error paths by default · c22ab332
      Matthew Garrett authored
      Since commit 04c6862c ("kmsg_dump: add kmsg_dump() calls to the
      reboot, halt, poweroff and emergency_restart paths"), kmsg_dump() gets
      run on normal paths including poweroff and reboot.
      
      This is less than ideal given pstore implementations that can only
      represent single backtraces, since a reboot may overwrite a stored oops
      before it's been picked up by userspace.  In addition, some pstore
      backends may have low performance and provide a significant delay in
      reboot as a result.
      
      This patch adds a printk.always_kmsg_dump kernel parameter (which can also
      be changed from userspace).  Without it, the code will only be run on
      failure paths rather than on normal paths.  The option can be enabled in
      environments where there's a desire to attempt to audit whether or not a
      reboot was cleanly requested or not.

      r8169: add byte queue limit support. · 036dafa2
      Igor Maravic authored
      Nothing fancy:
      - sent bytes count is notified in the start_xmit path right before
        updating the owner bit in the hardware Tx descriptor (E. Dumazet)
      - avoid useless tp->dev dereferencing in start_xmit (E. Dumazet)
      
      Use of netdev_reset_queue is favored over proper accounting in
      rtl8169_tx_clear_range since the latter would need more work for the
      same result (nb: said accounting degenerates to nothing in xmit_frags).

      md/raid10: fix assembling of arrays with replacement devices. · 7a904848
      NeilBrown authored
      commit 56a2559b (md/raid10: recognise replacements ...)
      changed 'run' to set ->replacement or ->rdev depending on the
      'Replacement' status if the device, but it didn't remove the
      old unconditional setting of 'rdev'.  So it was largely ineffective.
      
      So remove that now.
