CURRENT_TIME macro is not y2038 safe on 32 bit systems. The patch replaces all the uses of CURRENT_TIME by current_time() for filesystem times, and ktime_get_* functions for authentication timestamps and timezone calculations. This is also in preparation for the patch that transitions vfs timestamps to use 64 bit time and hence make them y2038 safe. CURRENT_TIME macro will be deleted before merging the aforementioned change. The inode timestamps read from the server are assumed to have correct granularity and range. The patch also assumes that the difference between server and client times lie in the range INT_MIN..INT_MAX. This is valid because this is the difference between current times between server and client, and the largest timezone difference is in the range of one day. All cifs timestamps currently use timespec representation internally. Authentication and timezone timestamps can also be transitioned into using timespec64 when all other timestamps for cifs is transitioned to use timespec64.

struct timespec is not y2038 safe on 32 bit machines and needs to be replaced by struct timespec64 in order to represent times beyond year 2038 on such machines. Fix all the timestamp representation in struct trace_hwlat and all the corresponding implementations.

While examining output from trial builds with -Wformat-security enabled, many strings were found that should be defined as "const", or as a char array instead of char pointer. This makes some static analysis easier, by producing fewer false positives. As these are all trivial changes, it seemed best to put them all in a single patch rather than chopping them up per maintainer.

Commit afddba49 ("fs: introduce write_begin, write_end, and perform_write aops") introduced AOP_FLAG_UNINTERRUPTIBLE flag which was checked in pagecache_write_begin(), but that check was removed by 4e02ed4b ("fs: remove prepare_write/commit_write"). Between these two commits, commit d9414774 ("cifs: Convert cifs to new aops.") added a check in cifs_write_begin(), but that check was soon removed by commit a98ee8c1 ("[CIFS] fix regression in cifs_write_begin/cifs_write_end"). Therefore, AOP_FLAG_UNINTERRUPTIBLE flag is checked nowhere. Let's remove this flag. This patch has no functionality changes.

The kref functions check for NULL release functions. This WARN_ON seems rather pointless. We will eventually release and then just crash nicely.

Patch series "set_memory_* functions header refactor", v3. The set_memory_* APIs came out of a desire to have a better way to change memory attributes. Many of these attributes were linked to cache functionality so the prototypes were put in cacheflush.h. These days, the APIs have grown and have a much wider use than just cache APIs. To support this growth, split off set_memory_* and friends into a separate header file to avoid growing cacheflush.h for APIs that have nothing to do with caches.

__vmalloc* allows users to provide gfp flags for the underlying allocation. This API is quite popular $ git grep "=[[:space:]]__vmalloc\|return[[:space:]]*__vmalloc" | wc -l 77 The only problem is that many people are not aware that they really want to give __GFP_HIGHMEM along with other flags because there is really no reason to consume precious lowmemory on CONFIG_HIGHMEM systems for pages which are mapped to the kernel vmalloc space. About half of users don't use this flag, though. This signals that we make the API unnecessarily too complex. This patch simply uses __GFP_HIGHMEM implicitly when allocating pages to be mapped to the vmalloc space. Current users which add __GFP_HIGHMEM are simplified and drop the flag.

Huang Ying authored
Now vzalloc() is used in swap code to allocate various data structures, such as swap cache, swap slots cache, cluster info, etc. Because the size may be too large on some system, so that normal kzalloc() may fail. But using kzalloc() has some advantages, for example, less memory fragmentation, less TLB pressure, etc. So change the data structure allocation in swap code to use kvzalloc() which will try kzalloc() firstly, and fallback to vzalloc() if kzalloc() failed. In general, although kmalloc() will reduce the number of high-order pages in short term, vmalloc() will cause more pain for memory fragmentation in the long term. And the swap data structure allocation that is changed in this patch is expected to be long term allocation. From Dave Hansen: "for example, we have a two-page data structure. vmalloc() takes two effectively random order-0 pages, probably from two different 2M pages and pins them. That "kills" two 2M pages. kmalloc(), allocating two *contiguous* pages, will not cross a 2M boundary. That means it will only "kill" the possibility of a single 2M page. More 2M pages == less fragmentation. The allocation in this patch occurs during swap on time, which is usually done during system boot, so usually we have high opportunity to allocate the contiguous pages successfully. The allocation for swap_map[] in struct swap_info_struct is not changed, because that is usually quite large and vmalloc_to_page() is used for it. That makes it a little harder to change.

bcache_device_init uses kmalloc for small requests and vmalloc for those which are larger than 64 pages. This alone is a strange criterion. Moreover kmalloc can fallback to vmalloc on the failure.

copy_params uses kmalloc with vmalloc fallback. We already have a helper for that - kvmalloc. This caller requires GFP_NOIO semantic so it hasn't been converted with many others by previous patches. All we need to achieve this semantic is to use the scope memalloc_noio_{save,restore} around kvmalloc. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170306103327.2766-4-mhocko@kernel.orgSigned-off-by: -

fq_alloc_node, alloc_netdev_mqs and netif_alloc* open code kmalloc with vmalloc fallback. Use the kvmalloc variant instead. Keep the __GFP_REPEAT flag based on explanation from Eric: "At the time, tests on the hardware I had in my labs showed that vmalloc() could deliver pages spread all over the memory and that was a small penalty (once memory is fragmented enough, not at boot time)" The way how the code is constructed means, however, that we prefer to go and hit the OOM killer before we fall back to the vmalloc for requests <=32kB (with 4kB pages) in the current code. This is rather disruptive for something that can be achived with the fallback. On the other hand __GFP_REPEAT doesn't have any useful semantic for these requests. So the effect of this patch is that requests which fit into 32kB will fall back to vmalloc easier now. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170306103327.2766-3-mhocko@kernel.orgSigned-off-by:

There are many code paths opencoding kvmalloc. Let's use the helper instead. The main difference to kvmalloc is that those users are usually not considering all the aspects of the memory allocator. E.g. allocation requests <= 32kB (with 4kB pages) are basically never failing and invoke OOM killer to satisfy the allocation. This sounds too disruptive for something that has a reasonable fallback - the vmalloc. On the other hand those requests might fallback to vmalloc even when the memory allocator would succeed after several more reclaim/compaction attempts previously. There is no guarantee something like that happens though. This patch converts many of those places to kv[mz]alloc* helpers because they are more conservative.

getxattr uses vmalloc to allocate memory if kzalloc fails. This is filled by vfs_getxattr and then copied to the userspace. vmalloc, however, doesn't zero out the memory so if the specific implementation of the xattr handler is sloppy we can theoretically expose a kernel memory. There is no real sign this is really the case but let's make sure this will not happen and use vzalloc instead.

alloc_ila_locks seemed to c&p from alloc_bucket_locks allocation pattern which is quite unusual. The default allocation size is 320 * sizeof(spinlock_t) which is sub page unless lockdep is enabled when the performance benefit is really questionable and not worth the subtle code IMHO. Also note that the context when we call ila_init_net (modprobe or a task creating a net namespace) has to be properly configured. Let's just simplify the code and use kvmalloc helper which is a transparent way to use kmalloc with vmalloc fallback.

alloc_bucket_locks allocation pattern is quite unusual. We are preferring vmalloc when CONFIG_NUMA is enabled. The rationale is that vmalloc will respect the memory policy of the current process and so the backing memory will get distributed over multiple nodes if the requester is configured properly. At least that is the intention, in reality rhastable is shrunk and expanded from a kernel worker so no mempolicy can be assumed. Let's just simplify the code and use kvmalloc helper, which is a transparent way to use kmalloc with vmalloc fallback, if the caller is allowed to block and use the flag otherwise.

vhost code uses __GFP_REPEAT when allocating vhost_virtqueue resp. vhost_vsock because it would really like to prefer kmalloc to the vmalloc fallback - see 23cc5a99 ("vhost-net: extend device allocation to vmalloc") for more context. Michael Tsirkin has also noted: "__GFP_REPEAT overhead is during allocation time. Using vmalloc means all accesses are slowed down. Allocation is not on data path, accesses are." The similar applies to other vhost_kvzalloc users. Let's teach kvmalloc_node to handle __GFP_REPEAT properly. There are two things to be careful about. First we should prevent from the OOM killer and so have to involve __GFP_NORETRY by default and secondly override __GFP_REPEAT for !costly order requests as the __GFP_REPEAT is ignored for !costly orders. Supporting __GFP_REPEAT like semantic for !costly request is possible it would require changes in the page allocator. This is out of scope of this patch. This patch shouldn't introduce any functional change. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170306103032.2540-3-mhocko@kernel.orgSigned-off-by:
