[ Upstream commit 28e24c62 ] Few network drivers really supports frag_list : virtual drivers. Some drivers wrongly advertise NETIF_F_FRAGLIST feature. If skb with a frag_list is given to them, packet on the wire will be corrupt. Remove this flag, as core networking stack will make sure to provide packets that can be sent without corruption.

[ Upstream commit 7150aede ] The behaviour of blackhole and prohibit routes has been corrected by setting the input and output pointers of the dst variable appropriately. For blackhole routes, they are set to dst_discard and to ip6_pkt_discard and ip6_pkt_discard_out respectively for prohibit routes. ipv6: ip6_pkt_prohibit(_out) should not depend on CONFIG_IPV6_MULTIPLE_TABLES We need ip6_pkt_prohibit(_out) available without CONFIG_IPV6_MULTIPLE_TABLES Signed-off-by:

commit d0abafac upstream. Commit f5a44db5 introduced a regression on filesystems created with the bigalloc feature (cluster size > blocksize). It causes xfstests generic/006 and /013 to fail with an unexpected JBD2 failure and transaction abort that leaves the test file system in a read only state. Other xfstests run on bigalloc file systems are likely to fail as well. The cause is the accidental use of a cluster mask where a cluster offset was needed in ext4_ext_map_blocks(). Signed-off-by:

commit f244d8b6 upstream. The changes in the ACPI-based PCI hotplug (ACPIPHP) subsystem made during the 3.12 development cycle uncovered a problem with VGA switcheroo that on some systems, when the device-specific method (ATPX in the radeon case, _DSM in the nouveau case) is used to turn off the discrete graphics, the BIOS generates ACPI hotplug events for that device and those events cause ACPIPHP to attempt to remove the device from the system (they are events for a device that was present previously and is not present any more, so that's what should be done according to the spec). Then, the system stops functioning correctly. Since the hotplug events in question were simply silently ignored previously, the least intrusive way to address that problem is to make ACPIPHP ignore them again. For this purpose, introduce a new ACPI device flag, no_hotplug, and modify ACPIPHP to ignore hotplug events for PCI devices whose ACPI companions have that flag set. Next, make the radeon and nouveau switcheroo detection code set the no_hotplug flag for the discrete graphics' ACPI companion.

It can be used to replace acpi_get_handle() in the case that 1. the calling function doesn't need the ACPI handle of the control method. and 2. the calling function doesn't care the reason why the method is unavailable.

commit 8e321fef upstream. The arbitrary restriction on page counts offered by the core migrate_page_move_mapping() code results in rather suspicious looking fiddling with page reference counts in the aio_migratepage() operation. To fix this, make migrate_page_move_mapping() take an extra_count parameter that allows aio to tell the code about its own reference count on the page being migrated. While cleaning up aio_migratepage(), make it validate that the old page being passed in is actually what aio_migratepage() expects to prevent misbehaviour in the case of races. Signed-off-by:

commit 3dc9acb6 upstream. Since commit 36bc08cc ("fs/aio: Add support to aio ring pages migration") the aio ring setup code has used a special per-ring backing inode for the page allocations, rather than just using random anonymous pages. However, rather than remembering the pages as it allocated them, it would allocate the pages, insert them into the file mapping (dirty, so that they couldn't be free'd), and then forget about them. And then to look them up again, it would mmap the mapping, and then use "get_user_pages()" to get back an array of the pages we just created. Now, not only is that incredibly inefficient, it also leaked all the pages if the mmap failed (which could happen due to excessive number of mappings, for example). So clean it all up, making it much more straightforward. Also remove some left-overs of the previous (broken) mm_populate() usage that was removed in commit d6c355c7 ("aio: fix race in ring buffer page lookup introduced by page migration support") but left the pointless and now misleading MAP_POPULATE flag around.

commit f6c07cad upstream. If a handle runs out of space, we currently stop the kernel with a BUG in jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata(). This makes it hard to figure out what might be going on. So return an error of ENOSPC, so we can let the file system layer figure out what is going on, to make it more likely we can get useful debugging information). This should make it easier to debug problems such as the one which was reported by: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44731 The only two callers of this function are ext4_handle_dirty_metadata() and ocfs2_journal_dirty(). The ocfs2 function will trigger a BUG_ON(), which means there will be no change in behavior. The ext4 function will call ext4_error_inode() which will print the useful debugging information and then handle the situation using ext4's error handling mechanisms (i.e., which might mean halting the kernel or remounting the file system read-only). Also, since both file systems already call WARN_ON(), drop the WARN_ON from jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata() to avoid two stack traces from being displayed. Signed-off-by:

commit 36d9f4d3 upstream. The tty3270_alloc_screen function is called from tty3270_install with swapped arguments, the number of columns instead of rows and vice versa. The number of rows is typically smaller than the number of columns which makes the screen array too big but the individual cell arrays for the lines too small. Creating lines longer than the number of rows will clobber the memory after the end of the cell array. The fix is simple, call tty3270_alloc_screen with the correct argument order. Signed-off-by:

commit dfd11184 upstream. In patch 209806ab we allowed local deferred locks to be granted against a cached exclusive lock. That opened up a corner case which this patch now fixes. The solution to the problem is to check whether we have cached pages each time we do direct I/O and if so to unmap, flush and invalidate those pages. Since the glock state machine normally does that for us, mostly the code will be a no-op. Signed-off-by:

commit 502be2a3 upstream. This patch fixes a slab memory leak that sometimes can occur for files with a very short lifespan. The problem occurs when a dinode is deleted before it has gotten to the journal properly. In the leak scenario, the bd object is pinned for journal committment (queued to the metadata buffers queue: sd_log_le_buf) but is subsequently unpinned and dequeued before it finds its way to the ail or the revoke queue. In this rare circumstance, the bd object needs to be freed from slab memory, or it is forgotten. We have to be very careful how we do it, though, because multiple processes can call gfs2_remove_from_journal. In order to avoid double-frees, only the process that does the unpinning is allowed to free the bd. Signed-off-by:

commit 9290a9a7 upstream. Function gfs2_remove_from_ail drops the reference on the bh via brelse. This patch fixes a race condition whereby bh is deferenced after the brelse when setting bd->bd_blkno = bh->b_blocknr; Under certain rare circumstances, bh might be gone or reused, and bd->bd_blkno is set to whatever that memory happens to be, which is often 0. Later, in gfs2_trans_add_unrevoke, that bd fails the test "bd->bd_blkno >= blkno" which causes it to never be freed. The end result is that the bd is never freed from the bufdata cache, which results in this error: slab error in kmem_cache_destroy(): cache `gfs2_bufdata': Can't free all objects Signed-off-by:

RIP dequeue_hwpoisoned_huge_page+0x131/0x1e0 CR2: 0000000000000058 The reasoning of this problem is shown below: - when we have a memory error on a thp tail page, the memory error handler grabs a refcount of the head page to keep the thp under us. - Before unmapping the error page from processes, we split the thp, where page refcounts of both of head/tail pages don't change. - Then we call try_to_unmap() over the error page (which was a tail page before). We didn't pin the error page to handle the memory error, this error page is freed and removed from LRU list. - We never have the error page on LRU list, so the first page state check returns "unknown page," then we move to the second check with the saved page flag. - The saved page flag have PG_tail set, so the second page state check returns "hugepage." - We call me_huge_page() for freed error page, then we hit the above panic. The root cause is that we didn't move refcount from the head page to the tail page after split thp. So this patch suggests to do this. This panic was introduced by commit 524fca1e ("HWPOISON: fix misjudgement of page_action() for errors on mlocked pages"). Note that we did have the same refcount problem before this commit, but it was just ignored because we had only first page state check which returned "unknown page." The commit changed the refcount problem from "doesn't work" to "kernel panic." Signed-off-by:

commit 3b25df93 upstream. Commit 7225522b ("mm: munlock: batch non-THP page isolation and munlock+putback using pagevec" introduced __munlock_pagevec() to speed up munlock by holding lru_lock over multiple isolated pages. Pages that fail to be isolated are put_page()d immediately, also within the lock. This can lead to deadlock when __munlock_pagevec() becomes the holder of the last page pin and put_page() leads to __page_cache_release() which also locks lru_lock. The deadlock has been observed by Sasha Levin using trinity. This patch avoids the deadlock by deferring put_page() operations until lru_lock is released. Another pagevec (which is also used by later phases of the function is reused to gather the pages for put_page() operation. Signed-off-by:

commit c424be1c upstream. Since commit ff6a6da6 ("mm: accelerate munlock() treatment of THP pages") munlock skips tail pages of a munlocked THP page. However, when the head page already has PageMlocked unset, it will not skip the tail pages. Commit 7225522b ("mm: munlock: batch non-THP page isolation and munlock+putback using pagevec") has added a PageTransHuge() check which contains VM_BUG_ON(PageTail(page)). Sasha Levin found this triggered using trinity, on the first tail page of a THP page without PageMlocked flag. This patch fixes the issue by skipping tail pages also in the case when PageMlocked flag is unset. There is still a possibility of race with THP page split between clearing PageMlocked and determining how many pages to skip. The race might result in former tail pages not being skipped, which is however no longer a bug, as during the skip the PageTail flags are cleared. However this race also affects correctness of NR_MLOCK accounting, which is to be fixed in a separate patch. Signed-off-by:

commit fff4068c upstream. Commit 81c0a2bb ("mm: page_alloc: fair zone allocator policy") meant to bring aging fairness among zones in system, but it was overzealous and badly regressed basic workloads on NUMA systems. Due to the way kswapd and page allocator interacts, we still want to make sure that all zones in any given node are used equally for all allocations to maximize memory utilization and prevent thrashing on the highest zone in the node. While the same principle applies to NUMA nodes - memory utilization is obviously improved by spreading allocations throughout all nodes - remote references can be costly and so many workloads prefer locality over memory utilization. The original change assumed that zone_reclaim_mode would be a good enough predictor for that, but it turned out to be as indicative as a coin flip. Revert the NUMA aspect of the fairness until we can find a proper way to make it configurable and agree on a sane default. Signed-off-by:

commit 20841405 upstream. There are a few subtle races, between change_protection_range (used by mprotect and change_prot_numa) on one side, and NUMA page migration and compaction on the other side. The basic race is that there is a time window between when the PTE gets made non-present (PROT_NONE or NUMA), and the TLB is flushed. During that time, a CPU may continue writing to the page. This is fine most of the time, however compaction or the NUMA migration code may come in, and migrate the page away. When that happens, the CPU may continue writing, through the cached translation, to what is no longer the current memory location of the process. This only affects x86, which has a somewhat optimistic pte_accessible. All other architectures appear to be safe, and will either always flush, or flush whenever there is a valid mapping, even with no permissions (SPARC). The basic race looks like this: CPU A CPU B CPU C load TLB entry make entry PTE/PMD_NUMA fault on entry read/write old page start migrating page change PTE/PMD to new page read/write old page [*] flush TLB reload TLB from new entry read/write new page lose data [*] the old page may belong to a new user at this point! The obvious fix is to flush remote TLB entries, by making sure that pte_accessible aware of the fact that PROT_NONE and PROT_NUMA memory may still be accessible if there is a TLB flush pending for the mm. This should fix both NUMA migration and compaction. [mgorman@suse.de: fix build] Signed-off-by:
