      lz4: add overrun checks to lz4_uncompress_unknownoutputsize() · 4a3a9904
      Greg Kroah-Hartman authored
      Jan points out that I forgot to make the needed fixes to the
      lz4_uncompress_unknownoutputsize() function to mirror the changes done
      in lz4_decompress() with regards to potential pointer overflows.
      
      The only in-kernel user of this function is the zram code, which only
      takes data from a valid compressed buffer that it made itself, so it's
      not a big issue.  But due to external kernel modules using this
      function, it's better to be safe here.

      shmem: fix init_page_accessed use to stop !PageLRU bug · 66d2f4d2
      Hugh Dickins authored
      Under shmem swapping load, I sometimes hit the VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!PageLRU)
      in isolate_lru_pages() at mm/vmscan.c:1281!
      
      Commit 2457aec6 ("mm: non-atomically mark page accessed during page
      cache allocation where possible") looks like interrupted work-in-progress.
      
      mm/filemap.c's call to init_page_accessed() is fine, but not mm/shmem.c's
      - shmem_write_begin() is clearly wrong to use it after shmem_getpage(),
      when the page is always visible in radix_tree, and often already on LRU.
      
      Revert change to shmem_write_begin(), and use init_page_accessed() or
      mark_page_accessed() appropriately for SGP_WRITE in shmem_getpage_gfp().
      
      SGP_WRITE also covers shmem_symlink(), which did not mark_page_accessed()
      before; but since many other filesystems use [__]page_symlink(), which did
      and does mark the page accessed, consider this as rectifying an oversight.

      fs/seq_file: fallback to vmalloc allocation · 058504ed
      Heiko Carstens authored
      There are a couple of seq_files which use the single_open() interface.
      This interface requires that the whole output must fit into a single
      buffer.
      
      E.g.  for /proc/stat allocation failures have been observed because an
      order-4 memory allocation failed due to memory fragmentation.  In such
      situations reading /proc/stat is not possible anymore.
      
      Therefore change the seq_file code to fallback to vmalloc allocations
      which will usually result in a couple of order-0 allocations and hence
      also work if memory is fragmented.
      
      For reference a call trace where reading from /proc/stat failed:

      /proc/stat: convert to single_open_size() · f74373a5
      Heiko Carstens authored
      These two patches are supposed to "fix" failed order-4 memory
      allocations which have been observed when reading /proc/stat.  The
      problem has been observed on s390 as well as on x86.
      
      To address the problem change the seq_file memory allocations to
      fallback to use vmalloc, so that allocations also work if memory is
      fragmented.
      
      This approach seems to be simpler and less intrusive than changing
      /proc/stat to use an interator.  Also it "fixes" other users as well,
      which use seq_file's single_open() interface.
      
      This patch (of 2):
      
      Use seq_file's single_open_size() to preallocate a buffer that is large
      enough to hold the whole output, instead of open coding it.  Also
      calculate the requested size using the number of online cpus instead of
      possible cpus, since the size of the output only depends on the number
      of online cpus.

      hwpoison: fix the handling path of the victimized page frame that belong to non-LRU · 0bc1f8b0
      Chen Yucong authored
      Until now, the kernel has the same policy to handle victimized page
      frames that belong to kernel-space(reserved/slab-subsystem) or
      non-LRU(unknown page state).  In other word, the result of handling
      either of these victimized page frames is (IGNORED | FAILED), and the
      return value of memory_failure() is -EBUSY.
      
      This patch is to avoid that memory_failure() returns very soon due to
      the "true" value of (!PageLRU(p)), and it also ensures that
      action_result() can report more precise information("reserved kernel",
      "kernel slab", and "unknown page state") instead of "non LRU",
      especially for memory errors which are detected by memory-scrubbing.

      mm:vmscan: update the trace-vmscan-postprocess.pl for event vmscan/mm_vmscan_lru_isolate · b27ebf77

      zram: revalidate disk after capacity change · 2e32baea
      Minchan Kim authored
      Alexander reported mkswap on /dev/zram0 is failed if other process is
      opening the block device file.
      
      Step is as follows,
      
      0. Reset the unused zram device.
      1. Use a program that opens /dev/zram0 with O_RDWR and sleeps
         until killed.
      2. While that program sleeps, echo the correct value to
         /sys/block/zram0/disksize.
      3. Verify (e.g. in /proc/partitions) that the disk size is applied
         correctly. It is.
      4. While that program still sleeps, attempt to mkswap /dev/zram0.
         This fails: mkswap: error: swap area needs to be at least 40 KiB
      
      When I investigated, the size get by ioctl(fd, BLKGETSIZE64, xxx) on
      mkswap to get a size of blockdev was zero although zram0 has right size by
      2.
      
      The reason is zram didn't revalidate disk after changing capacity so that
      size of blockdev's inode is not uptodate until all of file is close.
      
      This patch should fix the BUG.

      slub: fix off by one in number of slab tests · 8a5b20ae
      Joonsoo Kim authored
      min_partial means minimum number of slab cached in node partial list.
      So, if nr_partial is less than it, we keep newly empty slab on node
      partial list rather than freeing it.  But if nr_partial is equal or
      greater than it, it means that we have enough partial slabs so should
      free newly empty slab.  Current implementation missed the equal case so
      if we set min_partial is 0, then, at least one slab could be cached.
      This is critical problem to kmemcg destroying logic because it doesn't
      works properly if some slabs is cached.  This patch fixes this problem.
      
      Fixes 91cb69620284 ("slub: make dead memcg caches discard free slabs
      immediately").
