commit d78c9300 upstream. timeval_to_jiffies tried to round a timeval up to an integral number of jiffies, but the logic for doing so was incorrect: intervals corresponding to exactly N jiffies would become N+1. This manifested itself particularly repeatedly stopping/starting an itimer: setitimer(ITIMER_PROF, &val, NULL); setitimer(ITIMER_PROF, NULL, &val); would add a full tick to val, _even if it was exactly representable in terms of jiffies_ (say, the result of a previous rounding.) Doing this repeatedly would cause unbounded growth in val. So fix the math. Here's what was wrong with the conversion: we essentially computed (eliding seconds) jiffies = usec * (NSEC_PER_USEC/TICK_NSEC) by using scaling arithmetic, which took the best approximation of NSEC_PER_USEC/TICK_NSEC with denominator of 2^USEC_JIFFIE_SC = x/(2^USEC_JIFFIE_SC), and computed: jiffies = (usec * x) >> USEC_JIFFIE_SC and rounded this calculation up in the intermediate form (since we can't necessarily exactly represent TICK_NSEC in usec.) But the scaling arithmetic is a (very slight) *over*approximation of the true value; that is, instead of dividing by (1 usec/ 1 jiffie), we effectively divided by (1 usec/1 jiffie)-epsilon (rounding down). This would normally be fine, but we want to round timeouts up, and we did so by adding 2^USEC_JIFFIE_SC - 1 before the shift; this would be fine if our division was exact, but dividing this by the slightly smaller factor was equivalent to adding just _over_ 1 to the final result (instead of just _under_ 1, as desired.) In particular, with HZ=1000, we consistently computed that 10000 usec was 11 jiffies; the same was true for any exact multiple of TICK_NSEC. We could possibly still round in the intermediate form, adding something less than 2^USEC_JIFFIE_SC - 1, but easier still is to convert usec->nsec, round in nanoseconds, and then convert using time*spec*_to_jiffies. This adds one constant multiplication, and is not observably slower in microbenchmarks on recent x86 hardware. Tested: the following program: int main() { struct itimerval zero = {{0, 0}, {0, 0}}; /* Initially set to 10 ms. */ struct itimerval initial = zero; initial.it_interval.tv_usec = 10000; setitimer(ITIMER_PROF, &initial, NULL); /* Save and restore several times. */ for (size_t i = 0; i < 10; ++i) { struct itimerval prev; setitimer(ITIMER_PROF, &zero, &prev); /* on old kernels, this goes up by TICK_USEC every iteration */ printf("previous value: %ld %ld %ld %ld\n", prev.it_interval.tv_sec, prev.it_interval.tv_usec, prev.it_value.tv_sec, prev.it_value.tv_usec); setitimer(ITIMER_PROF, &prev, NULL); } return 0; } Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com> Cc: Paul Turner <pjt@google.com> Cc: Richard Cochran <richardcochran@gmail.com> Cc: Prarit Bhargava <prarit@redhat.com> Reviewed-by:

commit 58d75f4b upstream. The recent conversion of saa7134 to vb2 unconvered a poll() bug that broke the teletext applications alevt and mtt. These applications expect that calling poll() without having called VIDIOC_STREAMON will cause poll() to return POLLERR. That did not happen in vb2. This patch fixes that behavior. It also fixes what should happen when poll() is called when STREAMON is called but no buffers have been queued. In that case poll() will also return POLLERR, but only for capture queues since output queues will always return POLLOUT anyway in that situation. This brings the vb2 behavior in line with the old videobuf behavior. Signed-off-by:

commit abc40bd2 upstream. This patch reverts 1ba6e0b5 ("mm: numa: split_huge_page: transfer the NUMA type from the pmd to the pte"). If a huge page is being split due a protection change and the tail will be in a PROT_NONE vma then NUMA hinting PTEs are temporarily created in the protected VMA. VM_RW|VM_PROTNONE |-----------------| ^ split here In the specific case above, it should get fixed up by change_pte_range() but there is a window of opportunity for weirdness to happen. Similarly, if a huge page is shrunk and split during a protection update but before pmd_numa is cleared then a pte_numa can be left behind. Instead of adding complexity trying to deal with the case, this patch will not mark PTEs NUMA when splitting a huge page. NUMA hinting faults will not be triggered which is marginal in comparison to the complexity in dealing with the corner cases during THP split. Signed-off-by:

commit f8303c25 upstream. In __split_huge_page_map(), the check for page_mapcount(page) is invariant within the for loop. Because of the fact that the macro is implemented using atomic_read(), the redundant check cannot be optimized away by the compiler leading to unnecessary read to the page structure. This patch moves the invariant bug check out of the loop so that it will be done only once. On a 3.16-rc1 based kernel, the execution time of a microbenchmark that broke up 1000 transparent huge pages using munmap() had an execution time of 38,245us and 38,548us with and without the patch respectively. The performance gain is about 1%. Signed-off-by:

commit 52755808 upstream. SMB2 servers indicates the end of a directory search with STATUS_NO_MORE_FILE error code that is not processed now. This causes generic/257 xfstest to fail. Fix this by triggering the end of search by this error code in SMB2_query_directory. Also when negotiating CIFS protocol we tell the server to close the search automatically at the end and there is no need to do it itself. In the case of SMB2 protocol, we need to close it explicitly - separate close directory checks for different protocols. Signed-off-by:

commit 24607f11 upstream. Commit 651e22f2 "ring-buffer: Always reset iterator to reader page" fixed one bug but in the process caused another one. The reset is to update the header page, but that fix also changed the way the cached reads were updated. The cache reads are used to test if an iterator needs to be updated or not. A ring buffer iterator, when created, disables writes to the ring buffer but does not stop other readers or consuming reads from happening. Although all readers are synchronized via a lock, they are only synchronized when in the ring buffer functions. Those functions may be called by any number of readers. The iterator continues down when its not interrupted by a consuming reader. If a consuming read occurs, the iterator starts from the beginning of the buffer. The way the iterator sees that a consuming read has happened since its last read is by checking the reader "cache". The cache holds the last counts of the read and the reader page itself. Commit 651e22f2 changed what was saved by the cache_read when the rb_iter_reset() occurred, making the iterator never match the cache. Then if the iterator calls rb_iter_reset(), it will go into an infinite loop by checking if the cache doesn't match, doing the reset and retrying, just to see that the cache still doesn't match! Which should never happen as the reset is suppose to set the cache to the current value and there's locks that keep a consuming reader from having access to the data.

commit 62b4d204 upstream. commit 03b8c7b6 ("futex: Allow architectures to skip futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() test") added the HAVE_FUTEX_CMPXCHG symbol right below FUTEX. This placed it right in the middle of the options for the EXPERT menu. However, HAVE_FUTEX_CMPXCHG does not depend on EXPERT or FUTEX, so Kconfig stops placing items in the EXPERT menu, and displays the remaining several EXPERT items (starting with EPOLL) directly in the General Setup menu. Since both users of HAVE_FUTEX_CMPXCHG only select it "if FUTEX", make HAVE_FUTEX_CMPXCHG itself depend on FUTEX. With this change, the subsequent items display as part of the EXPERT menu again; the EMBEDDED menu now appears as the next top-level item in the General Setup menu, which makes General Setup much shorter and more usable.

commit 8e0e99ba upstream. It has come to my attention (thanks Martin) that 'discard_zeroes_data' is only a hint. Some devices in some cases don't do what it says on the label. The use of DISCARD in RAID5 depends on reads from discarded regions being predictably zero. If a write to a previously discarded region performs a read-modify-write cycle it assumes that the parity block was consistent with the data blocks. If all were zero, this would be the case. If some are and some aren't this would not be the case. This could lead to data corruption after a device failure when data needs to be reconstructed from the parity. As we cannot trust 'discard_zeroes_data', ignore it by default and so disallow DISCARD on all raid4/5/6 arrays. As many devices are trustworthy, and as there are benefits to using DISCARD, add a module parameter to over-ride this caution and cause DISCARD to work if discard_zeroes_data is set. If a site want to enable DISCARD on some arrays but not on others they should select DISCARD support at the filesystem level, and set the raid456 module parameter. raid456.devices_handle_discard_safely=Y As this is a data-safety issue, I believe this patch is suitable for -stable.

commit d3cb8bf6 upstream. A migration entry is marked as write if pte_write was true at the time the entry was created. The VMA protections are not double checked when migration entries are being removed as mprotect marks write-migration-entries as read. It means that potentially we take a spurious fault to mark PTEs write again but it's straight-forward. However, there is a race between write migrations being marked read and migrations finishing. This potentially allows a PTE to be write that should have been read. Close this race by double checking the VMA permissions using maybe_mkwrite when migration completes.

commit 067bb174 upstream. In some cases, clocks can switch their parent with clk_set_rate, for example clk_mux can do this in some cases. Current implementation of clk_change_rate uses un-safe list iteration on the clock children, which will cause wrong clocks to be parsed in case any of the clock children change their parents during the change rate operation. Fixed by using the safe list iterator instead. The problem was detected due to some divide by zero errors generated by clock init on dra7-evm board, see discussion under http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ports.arm.kernel/349180 for details.

commit f2d5a944 upstream. On 32-bit architectures, the legacy buffer_head functions are not always handling the sector number with the proper 64-bit types, and will thus fail on 4TB+ disks. Any code that uses __getblk() (and thus bread(), breadahead(), sb_bread(), sb_breadahead(), sb_getblk()), and calls it using a 64-bit block on a 32-bit arch (where "long" is 32-bit) causes an inifinite loop in __getblk_slow() with an infinite stream of errors logged to dmesg like this: __find_get_block_slow() failed. block=6740375944, b_blocknr=2445408648 b_state=0x00000020, b_size=512 device sda1 blocksize: 512 Note how in hex block is 0x191C1F988 and b_blocknr is 0x91C1F988 i.e. the top 32-bits are missing (in this case the 0x1 at the top). This is because grow_dev_page() is broken and has a 32-bit overflow due to shifting the page index value (a pgoff_t - which is just 32 bits on 32-bit architectures) left-shifted as the block number. But the top bits to get lost as the pgoff_t is not type cast to sector_t / 64-bit before the shift. This patch fixes this issue by type casting "index" to sector_t before doing the left shift. Note this is not a theoretical bug but has been seen in the field on a 4TiB hard drive with logical sector size 512 bytes. This patch has been verified to fix the infinite loop problem on 3.17-rc5 kernel using a 4TB disk image mounted using "-o loop". Without this patch doing a "find /nt" where /nt is an NTFS volume causes the inifinite loop 100% reproducibly whilst with the patch it works fine as expected. Signed-off-by:

commit 3577af70 upstream. We saw a kernel soft lockup in perf_remove_from_context(), it looks like the `perf` process, when exiting, could not go out of the retry loop. Meanwhile, the target process was forking a child. So either the target process should execute the smp function call to deactive the event (if it was running) or it should do a context switch which deactives the event. It seems we optimize out a context switch in perf_event_context_sched_out(), and what's more important, we still test an obsolete task pointer when retrying, so no one actually would deactive that event in this situation. Fix it directly by reloading the task pointer in perf_remove_from_context(). This should cure the above soft lockup. Signed-off-by:

commit 265b81d2 upstream. Avoids sending a signal to alarm timers created with sigev_notify set to SIGEV_NONE by checking for that special case in the timeout callback. The regular posix timers avoid sending signals to SIGEV_NONE timers by not scheduling any callbacks for them in the first place. Although it would be possible to do something similar for alarm timers, it's simpler to handle this as a special case in the timeout. Prior to this patch, the alarm timer would ignore the sigev_notify value and try to deliver signals to the process anyway. Even worse, the sanity check for the value of sigev_signo is skipped when SIGEV_NONE was specified, so the signal number could be bogus. If sigev_signo was an unitialized value (as it often would be if SIGEV_NONE is used), then it's hard to predict which signal will be sent.

commit e86fea76 upstream. Returns the time remaining for an alarm timer, rather than the time at which it is scheduled to expire. If the timer has already expired or it is not currently scheduled, the it_value's members are set to zero. This new behavior matches that of the other posix-timers and the POSIX specifications. This is a change in user-visible behavior, and may break existing applications. Hopefully, few users rely on the old incorrect behavior.

commit d26a7730 upstream. In spite of what the GCC manual says, the -mfast-indirect-calls has never been supported in the 64-bit parisc compiler. Indirect calls have always been done using function descriptors irrespective of the -mfast-indirect-calls option. Recently, it was noticed that a function descriptor was always requested when the -mfast-indirect-calls option was specified. This caused problems when the option was used in application code and doesn't make any sense because the whole point of the option is to avoid using a function descriptor for indirect calls. Fixing this broke 64-bit kernel builds. I will fix GCC but for now we need the attached change. This results in the same kernel code as before. Signed-off-by:

commit 7bd88377 upstream. return the value instead, and have path_init() do the assignment. Broken by "vfs: Fix absolute RCU path walk failures due to uninitialized seq number", which was Cc-stable with 2.6.38+ as destination. This one should go where it went. To avoid dummy value returned in case when root is already set (it would do no harm, actually, since the only caller that doesn't ignore the return value is guaranteed to have nd->root *not* set, but it's more obvious that way), lift the check into callers. And do the same to set_root(), to keep them in sync. Signed-off-by:

commit 03bd4e1f upstream. The following bug can be triggered by hot adding and removing a large number of xen domain0's vcpus repeatedly: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000004 IP: [..] find_busiest_group PGD 5a9d5067 PUD 13067 PMD 0 Oops: 0000 [#3] SMP [...] Call Trace: load_balance ? _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore idle_balance __schedule schedule schedule_timeout ? lock_timer_base schedule_timeout_uninterruptible msleep lock_device_hotplug_sysfs online_store dev_attr_store sysfs_write_file vfs_write SyS_write system_call_fastpath Last level cache shared mask is built during CPU up and the build_sched_domain() routine takes advantage of it to setup the sched domain CPU topology. However, llc_shared_mask is not released during CPU disable, which leads to an invalid sched domainCPU topology. This patch fix it by releasing the llc_shared_mask correctly during CPU disable. Yasuaki also reported that this can happen on real hardware: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/7/22/1018 His case is here: == Here is an example on my system. My system has 4 sockets and each socket has 15 cores and HT is enabled. In this case, each core of sockes is numbered as follows: | CPU# Socket#0 | 0-14 , 60-74 Socket#1 | 15-29, 75-89 Socket#2 | 30-44, 90-104 Socket#3 | 45-59, 105-119 Then llc_shared_mask of CPU#30 has 0x3fff80000001fffc0000000. It means that last level cache of Socket#2 is shared with CPU#30-44 and 90-104. When hot-removing socket#2 and #3, each core of sockets is numbered as follows: | CPU# Socket#0 | 0-14 , 60-74 Socket#1 | 15-29, 75-89 But llc_shared_mask is not cleared. So llc_shared_mask of CPU#30 remains having 0x3fff80000001fffc0000000. After that, when hot-adding socket#2 and #3, each core of sockets is numbered as follows: | CPU# Socket#0 | 0-14 , 60-74 Socket#1 | 15-29, 75-89 Socket#2 | 30-59 Socket#3 | 90-119 Then llc_shared_mask of CPU#30 becomes 0x3fff8000fffffffc0000000. It means that last level cache of Socket#2 is shared with CPU#30-59 and 90-104. So the mask has the wrong value. Signed-off-by:

commit d4a5fca5 upstream. Since commit 45906855 ("mm/sl[aou]b: Common alignment code"), the "ralign" automatic variable in __kmem_cache_create() may be used as uninitialized. The proper alignment defaults to BYTES_PER_WORD and can be overridden by SLAB_RED_ZONE or the alignment specified by the caller.

commit 5760a97c upstream. There is a deadlock case which reported by Guozhonghua: https://oss.oracle.com/pipermail/ocfs2-devel/2014-September/010079.html This case is caused by &res->spinlock and &dlm->master_lock misordering in different threads. It was introduced by commit 8d400b81 ("ocfs2/dlm: Clean up refmap helpers"). Since lockres is new, it doesn't not require the &res->spinlock. So remove it.

commit 56d7acc7 upstream. This bug leads to reproducible silent data loss, despite the use of msync(), sync() and a clean unmount of the file system. It is easily reproducible with the following script: ----------------[BEGIN SCRIPT]-------------------- mkfs.nilfs2 -f /dev/sdb mount /dev/sdb /mnt dd if=/dev/zero bs=1M count=30 of=/mnt/testfile umount /mnt mount /dev/sdb /mnt CHECKSUM_BEFORE="$(md5sum /mnt/testfile)" /root/mmaptest/mmaptest /mnt/testfile 30 10 5 sync CHECKSUM_AFTER="$(md5sum /mnt/testfile)" umount /mnt mount /dev/sdb /mnt CHECKSUM_AFTER_REMOUNT="$(md5sum /mnt/testfile)" umount /mnt echo "BEFORE MMAP:\t$CHECKSUM_BEFORE" echo "AFTER MMAP:\t$CHECKSUM_AFTER" echo "AFTER REMOUNT:\t$CHECKSUM_AFTER_REMOUNT" ----------------[END SCRIPT]-------------------- The mmaptest tool looks something like this (very simplified, with error checking removed): ----------------[BEGIN mmaptest]-------------------- data = mmap(NULL, file_size - file_offset, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, file_offset); for (i = 0; i < write_count; ++i) { memcpy(data + i * 4096, buf, sizeof(buf)); msync(data, file_size - file_offset, MS_SYNC)) } ----------------[END mmaptest]-------------------- The output of the script looks something like this: BEFORE MMAP: 281ed1d5ae50e8419f9b978aab16de83 /mnt/testfile AFTER MMAP: 6604a1c31f10780331a6850371b3a313 /mnt/testfile AFTER REMOUNT: 281ed1d5ae50e8419f9b978aab16de83 /mnt/testfile So it is clear, that the changes done using mmap() do not survive a remount. This can be reproduced a 100% of the time. The problem was introduced in commit 136e8770 ("nilfs2: fix issue of nilfs_set_page_dirty() for page at EOF boundary"). If the page was read with mpage_readpage() or mpage_readpages() for example, then it has no buffers attached to it. In that case page_has_buffers(page) in nilfs_set_page_dirty() will be false. Therefore nilfs_set_file_dirty() is never called and the pages are never collected and never written to disk. This patch fixes the problem by also calling nilfs_set_file_dirty() if the page has no buffers attached to it. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: s/PAGE_SHIFT/PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT/] Signed-off-by:
