The altmap for a section-misaligned namespace needs to arrange for the base_pfn to be section-aligned. As a result the 'reserve' region (pfns from base that do not have a struct page) must be increased. Otherwise we trip the altmap validation check in __add_pages: if (altmap->base_pfn != phys_start_pfn || vmem_altmap_offset(altmap) > nr_pages) { pr_warn_once("memory add fail, invalid altmap\n"); return -EINVAL; } Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>

The delete opration can allocate additional space on the HPFS filesystem due to btree split. The HPFS driver checks in advance if there is available space, so that it won't corrupt the btree if we run out of space during splitting. If there is not enough available space, the HPFS driver attempted to truncate the file, but this results in a deadlock since the commit 7dd29d8d ("HPFS: Introduce a global mutex and lock it on every callback from VFS"). This patch removes the code that tries to truncate the file and -ENOSPC is returned instead. If the user hits -ENOSPC on delete, he should try to delete other files (that are stored in a leaf btree node), so that the delete operation will make some space for deleting the file stored in non-leaf btree node.

As it is currently written ext4_dax_mkwrite() assumes that the call into __dax_mkwrite() will not have to do a block allocation so it doesn't create a journal entry. For a read that creates a zero page to cover a hole followed by a write that actually allocates storage this is incorrect. The ext4_dax_mkwrite() -> __dax_mkwrite() -> __dax_fault() path calls get_blocks() to allocate storage. Fix this by having the ->page_mkwrite fault handler call ext4_dax_fault() as this function already has all the logic needed to allocate a journal entry and call __dax_fault(). Also update the ext2 fault handlers in this same way to remove duplicate code and keep the logic between ext2 and ext4 the same.

Previously calls to dax_writeback_mapping_range() for all DAX filesystems (ext2, ext4 & xfs) were centralized in filemap_write_and_wait_range(). dax_writeback_mapping_range() needs a struct block_device, and it used to get that from inode->i_sb->s_bdev. This is correct for normal inodes mounted on ext2, ext4 and XFS filesystems, but is incorrect for DAX raw block devices and for XFS real-time files. Instead, call dax_writeback_mapping_range() directly from the filesystem ->writepages function so that it can supply us with a valid block device. This also fixes DAX code to properly flush caches in response to sync(2).

dax_clear_blocks() needs a valid struct block_device and previously it was using inode->i_sb->s_bdev in all cases. This is correct for normal inodes on mounted ext2, ext4 and XFS filesystems, but is incorrect for DAX raw block devices and for XFS real-time devices. Instead, rename dax_clear_blocks() to dax_clear_sectors(), and change its arguments to take a bdev and a sector instead of an inode and a block. This better reflects what the function does, and it allows the filesystem and raw block device code to pass in an appropriate struct block_device.

Online defrag operations for ext4 are hard coded to use the page cache. See ext4_ioctl() -> ext4_move_extents() -> move_extent_per_page() When combined with DAX I/O, which circumvents the page cache, this can result in data corruption. This was observed with xfstests ext4/307 and ext4/308. Fix this by only allowing online defrag for non-DAX files.

When S_DAX is set on an inode we assume that if there are pages attached to the mapping (mapping->nrpages != 0), those pages are clean zero pages that were used to service reads from holes. Any dirty data associated with the inode should be in the form of DAX exceptional entries (mapping->nrexceptional) that is written back via dax_writeback_mapping_range(). With the current code, though, this isn't always true. For example, ext2 and ext4 directory inodes can have S_DAX set, but have their dirty data stored as dirty page cache entries. For these types of inodes, having S_DAX set doesn't really make sense since their I/O doesn't actually happen through the DAX code path. Instead, only allow S_DAX to be set for regular inodes for ext2 and ext4. This allows us to have strict DAX vs non-DAX paths in the writeback code.

Commit d07e2259 ("mm: mmap: add new /proc tunable for mmap_base ASLR") added the ability to choose from a range of values to use for entropy count in generating the random offset to the mmap_base address. The maximum value on this range was set to 32 bits for 64-bit x86 systems, but this value could be increased further, requiring more than the 32 bits of randomness provided by get_random_int(), as is already possible for arm64. Add a new function: get_random_long() which more naturally fits with the mmap usage of get_random_int() but operates exactly the same as get_random_int(). Also, fix the shifting constant in mmap_rnd() to be an unsigned long so that values greater than 31 bits generate an appropriate mask without overflow. This is especially important on x86, as its shift instruction uses a 5-bit mask for the shift operand, which meant that any value for mmap_rnd_bits over 31 acts as a no-op and effectively disables mmap_base randomization. Finally, replace calls to get_random_int() with get_random_long() where appropriate. This patch (of 2): Add get_random_long().

Commit 4167e9b2 ("mm: remove GFP_THISNODE") removed the GFP_THISNODE flag combination due to confusing semantics. It noted that alloc_misplaced_dst_page() was one such user after changes made by commit e97ca8e5 ("mm: fix GFP_THISNODE callers and clarify"). Unfortunately when GFP_THISNODE was removed, users of alloc_misplaced_dst_page() started waking kswapd and entering direct reclaim because the wrong GFP flags are cleared. The consequence is that workloads that used to fit into memory now get reclaimed which is addressed by this patch. The problem can be demonstrated with "mutilate" that exercises memcached which is software dedicated to memory object caching. The configuration uses 80% of memory and is run 3 times for varying numbers of clients. The results on a 4-socket NUMA box are mutilate 4.4.0 4.4.0 vanilla numaswap-v1 Hmean 1 8394.71 ( 0.00%) 8395.32 ( 0.01%) Hmean 4 30024.62 ( 0.00%) 34513.54 ( 14.95%) Hmean 7 32821.08 ( 0.00%) 70542.96 (114.93%) Hmean 12 55229.67 ( 0.00%) 93866.34 ( 69.96%) Hmean 21 39438.96 ( 0.00%) 85749.21 (117.42%) Hmean 30 37796.10 ( 0.00%) 50231.49 ( 32.90%) Hmean 47 18070.91 ( 0.00%) 38530.13 (113.22%) The metric is queries/second with the more the better.

The figures are aggregate but it's known that the bad activity is throughout the entire test. Note that simple streaming anon/file memory consumers also see this problem but it's not as obvious. In those cases, kswapd is awake when it should not be. As there are at least two reclaim-related bugs out there, it's worth spelling out the user-visible impact. This patch only addresses bugs related to excessive reclaim on NUMA hardware when the working set is larger than a NUMA node. There is a bug related to high kswapd CPU usage but the reports are against laptops and other UMA hardware and is not addressed by this patch.

pmd_trans_unstable()/pmd_none_or_trans_huge_or_clear_bad() were introduced to locklessy (but atomically) detect when a pmd is a regular (stable) pmd or when the pmd is unstable and can infinitely transition from pmd_none() and pmd_trans_huge() from under us, while only holding the mmap_sem for reading (for writing not). While holding the mmap_sem only for reading, MADV_DONTNEED can run from under us and so before we can assume the pmd to be a regular stable pmd we need to compare it against pmd_none() and pmd_trans_huge() in an atomic way, with pmd_trans_unstable(). The old pmd_trans_huge() left a tiny window for a race. Useful applications are unlikely to notice the difference as doing MADV_DONTNEED concurrently with a page fault would lead to undefined behavior.

This driver uses PCI glue that is only available on 32-bit ARM. This used to work fine as long as ARCH_MVEBU and ARCH_DOVE were exclusively 32-bit, but there's a patch in the pipe to make ARCH_MVEBU also available on 64-bit ARM.

991de2e5 ("PCI, x86: Implement pcibios_alloc_irq() and pcibios_free_irq()") appeared in v4.3 and helps support IOAPIC hotplug. Олег reported that the Elcus-1553 TA1-PCI driver worked in v4.2 but not v4.3 and bisected it to 991de2e5. Sunjin reported that the RocketRAID 272x driver worked in v4.2 but not v4.3. In both cases booting with "pci=routirq" is a workaround. I think the problem is that after 991de2e5, we no longer call pcibios_enable_irq() for upstream bridges. Prior to 991de2e5, when a driver called pci_enable_device(), we recursively called pcibios_enable_irq() for upstream bridges via pci_enable_bridge(). After 991de2e5, we call pcibios_enable_irq() from pci_device_probe() instead of the pci_enable_device() path, which does *not* call pcibios_enable_irq() for upstream bridges. Revert 991de2e5 to fix these driver regressions.

In the unlikely event that regno == nr_registers then we get an array overrun on regoff because the invalid register check is currently off-by-one. Fix this with a check that regno is >= nr_registers instead. Detected with static analysis using CoverityScan.

Pull power management and ACPI fixes from Rafael Wysocki: "These are two reverts of recent PCI-related ACPI core changes (one of which caused some systems to crash on boot and the other was a cleanup on top of it) and a devfreq fix for Tegra. Specifics: - Revert an ACPI core change related to IRQ management in PCI that introduced code relying on the use of kmalloc() which turned out to also run during early init when that's not available yet and caused some systems to crash on boot for this reason along with a cleanup on top of it (Rafael Wysocki). - Prevent devfreq from flooding the kernel log with useless messages on Tegra (which started to happen after some recent changes in the devfreq core) by fixing the driver to follow the documentation and the core's expectations in its ->target callback (Tomeu Vizoso)" * tag 'pm+acpi-4.5-rc6' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm: Revert "ACPI, PCI, irq: remove interrupt count restriction" Revert "ACPI / PCI: Simplify acpi_penalize_isa_irq()" PM / devfreq: tegra: Set freq in rate callback
