      MIPS: Do not fiddle with FRE unless FRE is actually available. · b0c34f61
      Ralf Baechle authored 
      Commit 4227a2d4 (MIPS: Support for hybrid
FPRs) changes the kernel to execute read_c0_config5() even on processors
that don't have a Config5 register.  According to the arch spec the
behaviour of trying to read or write this register is UNDEFINED where this
register doesn't exist, that is merely looking at this register is
already cruel because that might kill a kitten.

In case of Qemu older than v2.2 Qemu has elected to implement this
UNDEFINED behaviour by taking a RI exception - which then fries the
kernel:

[...]
Freeing YAMON memory: 956k freed
Freeing unused kernel memory: 240K (80674000 - 806b0000)
Reserved instruction in kernel code[#1]:
CPU: 0 PID: 1 Comm: init Not tainted 3.18.0-rc6-00058-g4227a2d4 #26

For qemu v2.2.0 commit f31b035a9f10dc9b57f01c426110af845d453ce2
(target-mips: correctly handle access to unimplemented CP0 register)
changed the behaviour to returning zero on read and ignoring writes
which more matches how typical hardware implementations actually behave.

      mm, vmscan: prevent kswapd livelock due to pfmemalloc-throttled process being killed · 9e5e3661
      Vlastimil Babka authored 
      Charles Shirron and Paul Cassella from Cray Inc have reported kswapd
stuck in a busy loop with nothing left to balance, but
kswapd_try_to_sleep() failing to sleep.  Their analysis found the cause
to be a combination of several factors:

1. A process is waiting in throttle_direct_reclaim() on pgdat->pfmemalloc_wait

2. The process has been killed (by OOM in this case), but has not yet been
   scheduled to remove itself from the waitqueue and die.

3. kswapd checks for throttled processes in prepare_kswapd_sleep():

        if (waitqueue_active(&pgdat->pfmemalloc_wait)) {
                wake_up(&pgdat->pfmemalloc_wait);
		return false; // kswapd will not go to sleep
	}

   However, for a process that was already killed, wake_up() does not remove
   the process from the waitqueue, since try_to_wake_up() checks its state
   first and returns false when the process is no longer waiting.

4. kswapd is running on the same CPU as the only CPU that the process is
   allowed to run on (through cpus_allowed, or possibly single-cpu system).

5. CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE=y kernel is used. If there's nothing to balance, kswapd
   encounters no voluntary preemption points and repeatedly fails
   prepare_kswapd_sleep(), blocking the process from running and removing
   itself from the waitqueue, which would let kswapd sleep.

So, the source of the problem is that we prevent kswapd from going to
sleep until there are processes waiting on the pfmemalloc_wait queue,
and a process waiting on a queue is guaranteed to be removed from the
queue only when it gets scheduled.  This was done to make sure that no
process is left sleeping on pfmemalloc_wait when kswapd itself goes to
sleep.

However, it isn't necessary to postpone kswapd sleep until the
pfmemalloc_wait queue actually empties.  To prevent processes from being
left sleeping, it's actually enough to guarantee that all processes
waiting on pfmemalloc_wait queue have been woken up by the time we put
kswapd to sleep.

This patch therefore fixes this issue by substituting 'wake_up' with
'wake_up_all' and removing 'return false' in the code snippet from
prepare_kswapd_sleep() above.  Note that if any process puts itself in
the queue after this waitqueue_active() check, or after the wake up
itself, it means that the process will also wake up kswapd - and since
we are under prepare_to_wait(), the wake up won't be missed.  Also we
update the comment prepare_kswapd_sleep() to hopefully more clearly
describe the races it is preventing.

      memcg: fix destination cgroup leak on task charges migration · 4bdfc1c4
      Vladimir Davydov authored 
      We are supposed to take one css reference per each memory page and per
each swap entry accounted to a memory cgroup.  However, during task
charges migration we take a reference to the destination cgroup twice
per each swap entry: first in mem_cgroup_do_precharge()->try_charge()
and then in mem_cgroup_move_swap_account(), permanently leaking the
destination cgroup.

The hunk taking the second reference seems to be a leftover from the
pre-00501b53 ("mm: memcontrol: rewrite charge API") era.  Remove it
to fix the leak.

      mm: memcontrol: switch soft limit default back to infinity · 24d404dc
      Johannes Weiner authored 
      Commit 3e32cb2e ("mm: memcontrol: lockless page counters")
accidentally switched the soft limit default from infinity to zero,
which turns all memcgs with even a single page into soft limit excessors
and engages soft limit reclaim on all of them during global memory
pressure.  This makes global reclaim generally more aggressive, but also
inverts the meaning of existing soft limit configurations where unset
soft limits are usually more generous than set ones.

      vfs: renumber FMODE_NONOTIFY and add to uniqueness check · 75069f2b
      David Drysdale authored 
      Fix clashing values for O_PATH and FMODE_NONOTIFY on sparc.  The
clashing O_PATH value was added in commit 5229645b ("vfs: add
nonconflicting values for O_PATH") but this can't be changed as it is
user-visible.

FMODE_NONOTIFY is only used internally in the kernel, but it is in the
same numbering space as the other O_* flags, as indicated by the comment
at the top of include/uapi/asm-generic/fcntl.h (and its use in
fs/notify/fanotify/fanotify_user.c).  So renumber it to avoid the clash.

All of this has happened before (commit 12ed2e36: "fanotify:
FMODE_NONOTIFY and __O_SYNC in sparc conflict"), and all of this will
happen again -- so update the uniqueness check in fcntl_init() to
include __FMODE_NONOTIFY.
