commit 30e2b41f upstream. We shouldn't defer oom killing if a thread has already detached its ->mm and still has TIF_MEMDIE set. Memory needs to be freed, so find kill other threads that pin the same ->mm or find another task to kill. Signed-off-by:

commit 3a5dda7a upstream. This patch prevents unnecessary oom kills or kernel panics by reverting two commits: 495789a5 (oom: make oom_score to per-process value) cef1d352 (oom: multi threaded process coredump don't make deadlock) First, 495789a5 (oom: make oom_score to per-process value) ignores the fact that all threads in a thread group do not necessarily exit at the same time. It is imperative that select_bad_process() detect threads that are in the exit path, specifically those with PF_EXITING set, to prevent needlessly killing additional tasks. If a process is oom killed and the thread group leader exits, select_bad_process() cannot detect the other threads that are PF_EXITING by iterating over only processes. Thus, it currently chooses another task unnecessarily for oom kill or panics the machine when nothing else is eligible. By iterating over threads instead, it is possible to detect threads that are exiting and nominate them for oom kill so they get access to memory reserves. Second, cef1d352 (oom: multi threaded process coredump don't make deadlock) erroneously avoids making the oom killer a no-op when an eligible thread other than current isfound to be exiting. We want to detect this situation so that we may allow that exiting thread time to exit and free its memory; if it is able to exit on its own, that should free memory so current is no loner oom. If it is not able to exit on its own, the oom killer will nominate it for oom kill which, in this case, only means it will get access to memory reserves. Without this change, it is easy for the oom killer to unnecessarily target tasks when all threads of a victim don't exit before the thread group leader or, in the worst case, panic the machine.

commit d527caf2 upstream. This patch reverts 5a03b051 ("thp: use compaction in kswapd for GFP_ATOMIC order > 0") due to reports stating that kswapd CPU usage was higher and IRQs were being disabled more frequently. This was reported at http://www.spinics.net/linux/fedora/alsa-user/msg09885.html. Without this patch applied, CPU usage by kswapd hovers around the 20% mark according to the tester (Arthur Marsh: http://www.spinics.net/linux/fedora/alsa-user/msg09899.html). With this patch applied, it's around 2%. The problem is not related to THP which specifies __GFP_NO_KSWAPD but is triggered by high-order allocations hitting the low watermark for their order and waking kswapd on kernels with CONFIG_COMPACTION set. The most common trigger for this is network cards configured for jumbo frames but it's also possible it'll be triggered by fork-heavy workloads (order-1) and some wireless cards which depend on order-1 allocations. The symptoms for the user will be high CPU usage by kswapd in low-memory situations which could be confused with another writeback problem. While a patch like 5a03b051 may be reintroduced in the future, this patch plays it safe for now and reverts it. [mel@csn.ul.ie: Beefed up the changelog] Signed-off-by:

commit 52c50567 upstream. If an administrator tries to swapon a file backed by NFS, the inode mutex is taken (as it is for any swapfile) but later identified to be a bad swapfile due to the lack of bmap and tries to cleanup. During cleanup, an attempt is made to close the file but with inode->i_mutex still held. Closing an NFS file syncs it which tries to acquire the inode mutex leading to deadlock. If lockdep is enabled the following appears on the console; ============================================= [ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ] 2.6.38-rc8-autobuild #1 --------------------------------------------- swapon/2192 is trying to acquire lock: (&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#13){+.+.+.}, at: vfs_fsync_range+0x47/0x7c but task is already holding lock: (&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#13){+.+.+.}, at: sys_swapon+0x28d/0xae7 other info that might help us debug this: 1 lock held by swapon/2192: #0: (&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#13){+.+.+.}, at: sys_swapon+0x28d/0xae7 stack backtrace: Pid: 2192, comm: swapon Not tainted 2.6.38-rc8-autobuild #1 Call Trace: __lock_acquire+0x2eb/0x1623 find_get_pages_tag+0x14a/0x174 pagevec_lookup_tag+0x25/0x2e vfs_fsync_range+0x47/0x7c lock_acquire+0xd3/0x100 vfs_fsync_range+0x47/0x7c nfs_flush_one+0x0/0xdf [nfs] mutex_lock_nested+0x40/0x2b1 vfs_fsync_range+0x47/0x7c vfs_fsync_range+0x47/0x7c vfs_fsync+0x1c/0x1e nfs_file_flush+0x64/0x69 [nfs] filp_close+0x43/0x72 sys_swapon+0xa39/0xae7 sysret_check+0x2e/0x69 system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b This patch releases the mutex if its held before calling filep_close() so swapon fails as expected without deadlock when the swapfile is backed by NFS.

commit bee4c36a upstream. Up to 2.6.22, you could use remap_file_pages(2) on a tmpfs file or a shared mapping of /dev/zero or a shared anonymous mapping. In 2.6.23 we disabled it by default, but set VM_CAN_NONLINEAR to enable it on safe mappings. We made sure to set it in shmem_mmap() for tmpfs files, but missed it in shmem_zero_setup() for the others. Fix that at last. Reported-by:

commit 8d258797 upstream. list_del() leaves poison in the prev and next pointers. The next list_empty() will compare those poisons, and say the list isn't empty. Any list operations that assume the node is on a list because of such a check will be fooled into dereferencing poison. One needs to INIT the node after the del, and fortunately there's already a wrapper for that - list_del_init(). Some of the dels are followed by deallocations, so can be ignored, and one can be merged with an add to make a move. Apart from that, I erred on the side of caution in making nodes list_empty()-queriable. Signed-off-by:

Codec is initialized but never probed because no platform_device exist for codec driver. It leads to errors during codec binding to asoc dai. Next problem was platform data which was passed from board to asoc main driver but not passed to codec when called codec_soc_probe(). Following patch should fix issues.

commit 60d97a84 upstream. The MUSB driver doesn't see its platform device on DM644x EVM board anymore since commit 73b089b0 (usb: musb: split davinci to its own platform_driver) because the new probe is called as subsys_initcall() now, and the device is registered later than that by the board code. Move the registration to davinci_evm_init() -- it's safe to do so because the MUSB core device still gets initialized as fs_initcall() -- which is late enough for the I2C GPIO expander (which controls VBUS) to be initialized.

commit 371c394a upstream. The latest binutils (2.21.0.20110302/Ubuntu) breaks the build yet another time, under CONFIG_XEN=y due to a .size directive that refers to a slightly differently named (hence, to the now very strict and unforgiving assembler, non-existent) symbol. [ mingo: This unnecessary build breakage caused by new binutils version 2.21 gets escallated back several kernel releases spanning several years of Linux history, affecting over 130,000 upstream kernel commits (!), on CONFIG_XEN=y 64-bit kernels (i.e. essentially affecting all major Linux distro kernel configs). Git annotate tells us that this slight debug symbol code mismatch bug has been introduced in 2008 in commit 3d75e1b8: 3d75e1b8 (Jeremy Fitzhardinge 2008-07-08 15:06:49 -0700 1231) ENTRY(xen_do_hypervisor_callback) # do_hypervisor_callback(struct *pt_regs) The 'bug' is just a slight assymetry in ENTRY()/END() debug-symbols sequences, with lots of assembly code between the ENTRY() and the END(): ENTRY(xen_do_hypervisor_callback) # do_hypervisor_callback(struct *pt_regs) ... END(do_hypervisor_callback) Human reviewers almost never catch such small mismatches, and binutils never even warned about it either. This new binutils version thus breaks the Xen build on all upstream kernels since v2.6.27, out of the blue. This makes a straightforward Git bisection of all 64-bit Xen-enabled kernels impossible on such binutils, for a bisection window of over hundred thousand historic commits. (!) This is a major fail on the side of binutils and binutils needs to turn this show-stopper build failure into a warning ASAP. ] Signed-off-by:

commit 4981d01e upstream. According to intel CPU manual, every time PGD entry is changed in i386 PAE mode, we need do a full TLB flush. Current code follows this and there is comment for this too in the code. But current code misses the multi-threaded case. A changed page table might be used by several CPUs, every such CPU should flush TLB. Usually this isn't a problem, because we prepopulate all PGD entries at process fork. But when the process does munmap and follows new mmap, this issue will be triggered.

commit 723aae25 upstream. Mike Galbraith reported finding a lockup ("perma-spin bug") where the cpumask passed to smp_call_function_many was cleared by other cpu(s) while a cpu was preparing its call_data block, resulting in no cpu to clear the last ref and unlock the block. Having cpus clear their bit asynchronously could be useful on a mask of cpus that might have a translation context, or cpus that need a push to complete an rcu window. Instead of adding a BUG_ON and requiring yet another cpumask copy, just detect the race and handle it. Note: arch_send_call_function_ipi_mask must still handle an empty cpumask because the data block is globally visible before the that arch callback is made. And (obviously) there are no guarantees to which cpus are notified if the mask is changed during the call; only cpus that were online and had their mask bit set during the whole call are guaranteed to be called.

commit 45a57919 upstream. Paul McKenney's review pointed out two problems with the barriers in the 2.6.38 update to the smp call function many code. First, a barrier that would force the func and info members of data to be visible before their consumption in the interrupt handler was missing. This can be solved by adding a smp_wmb between setting the func and info members and setting setting the cpumask; this will pair with the existing and required smp_rmb ordering the cpumask read before the read of refs. This placement avoids the need a second smp_rmb in the interrupt handler which would be executed on each of the N cpus executing the call request. (I was thinking this barrier was present but was not). Second, the previous write to refs (establishing the zero that we the interrupt handler was testing from all cpus) was performed by a third party cpu. This would invoke transitivity which, as a recient or concurrent addition to memory-barriers.txt now explicitly states, would require a full smp_mb(). However, we know the cpumask will only be set by one cpu (the data owner) and any preivous iteration of the mask would have cleared by the reading cpu. By redundantly writing refs to 0 on the owning cpu before the smp_wmb, the write to refs will follow the same path as the writes that set the cpumask, which in turn allows us to keep the barrier in the interrupt handler a smp_rmb instead of promoting it to a smp_mb (which will be be executed by N cpus for each of the possible M elements on the list). I moved and expanded the comment about our (ab)use of the rcu list primitives for the concurrent walk earlier into this function. I considered moving the first two paragraphs to the queue list head and lock, but felt it would have been too disconected from the code. Cc: Paul McKinney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by:

commit e6cd1e07 upstream. Peter pointed out there was nothing preventing the list_del_rcu in smp_call_function_interrupt from running before the list_add_rcu in smp_call_function_many. Fix this by not setting refs until we have gotten the lock for the list. Take advantage of the wmb in list_add_rcu to save an explicit additional one. I tried to force this race with a udelay before the lock & list_add and by mixing all 64 online cpus with just 3 random cpus in the mask, but was unsuccessful. Still, inspection shows a valid race, and the fix is a extension of the existing protection window in the current code. Reported-by:

commit 58d406ed upstream. Some versions of grep don't treat '\s' properly. When building perf on such systems and using a kernel tarball the perf version is unable to be determined from the main kernel Makefile and the user is left with a version of '..'. Replacing the use of '\s' with '[[:space:]]', which should work in all grep versions, gives a usable version number. Reported-by:

commit 0837e324 upstream. Events on POWER7 can roll back if a speculative event doesn't eventually complete. Unfortunately in some rare cases they will raise a performance monitor exception. We need to catch this to ensure we reset the PMC. In all cases the PMC will be 256 or less cycles from overflow. Signed-off-by:

commit a0f7d0f7 upstream. We toggle the state from start and stop callbacks but actually don't check it when the event triggers. Do it so that these callbacks actually work. Signed-off-by:

commit 8e26de23 upstream. RPC task RPC_TASK_QUEUED bit is set must be checked before trying to wake up task rpc_killall_tasks() because task->tk_waitqueue can not be set (equal to NULL). Also, as Trond Myklebust mentioned, such approach (instead of checking tk_waitqueue to NULL) allows us to "optimise away the call to rpc_wake_up_queued_task() altogether for those tasks that aren't queued". Here is an example of dereferencing of tk_waitqueue equal to NULL: CPU 0 CPU 1 CPU 2 -------------------- --------------------- -------------------------- nfs4_run_open_task rpc_run_task rpc_execute rpc_set_active rpc_make_runnable (waiting) rpc_async_schedule nfs4_open_prepare nfs_wait_on_sequence nfs_umount_begin rpc_killall_tasks rpc_wake_up_task rpc_wake_up_queued_task spin_lock(tk_waitqueue == NULL) BUG() rpc_sleep_on spin_lock(&q->lock) __rpc_sleep_on task->tk_waitqueue = q Signed-off-by:

commit e020c680 upstream. This fixes a race in which the task->tk_callback() puts the rpc_task to sleep, setting a new callback. Under certain circumstances, the current code may end up executing the task->tk_action before it gets round to the callback. Signed-off-by:

commit ed0f36bc upstream. The use of blk_execute_rq_nowait() implies __blk_put_request() is needed in stpg_endio() rather than blk_put_request() -- blk_finish_request() is called with queue lock already held. Signed-off-by:
