Fix for BUG_ON(anon_vma->degree) splashes in unlink_anon_vmas() ("kernel BUG at mm/rmap.c:399!") caused by commit 7a3ef208 ("mm: prevent endless growth of anon_vma hierarchy") Anon_vma_clone() is usually called for a copy of source vma in destination argument. If source vma has anon_vma it should be already in dst->anon_vma. NULL in dst->anon_vma is used as a sign that it's called from anon_vma_fork(). In this case anon_vma_clone() finds anon_vma for reusing. Vma_adjust() calls it differently and this breaks anon_vma reusing logic: anon_vma_clone() links vma to old anon_vma and updates degree counters but vma_adjust() overrides vma->anon_vma right after that. As a result final unlink_anon_vmas() decrements degree for wrong anon_vma. This patch assigns ->anon_vma before calling anon_vma_clone().

Commit fee7e49d ("mm: propagate error from stack expansion even for guard page") made sure that we return the error properly for stack growth conditions. It also theorized that counting the guard page towards the stack limit might break something, but also said "Let's see if anybody notices". Somebody did notice. Apparently android-x86 sets the stack limit very close to the limit indeed, and including the guard page in the rlimit check causes the android 'zygote' process problems. So this adds the (fairly trivial) code to make the stack rlimit check be against the actual real stack size, rather than the size of the vma that includes the guard page.

There isn't any checking to make sure it fits into the pyra->profile_settings[] array in the profile_activated() function.

The dl_runtime_exceeded() function is supposed to ckeck if a SCHED_DEADLINE task must be throttled, by checking if its current runtime is <= 0. However, it also checks if the scheduling deadline has been missed (the current time is larger than the current scheduling deadline), further decreasing the runtime if this happens. This "double accounting" is wrong: - In case of partitioned scheduling (or single CPU), this happens if task_tick_dl() has been called later than expected (due to small HZ values). In this case, the current runtime is also negative, and replenish_dl_entity() can take care of the deadline miss by recharging the current runtime to a value smaller than dl_runtime - In case of global scheduling on multiple CPUs, scheduling deadlines can be missed even if the task did not consume more runtime than expected, hence penalizing the task is wrong This patch fix this problem by throttling a SCHED_DEADLINE task only when its runtime becomes negative, and not modifying the runtime Signed-off-by: Luca Abeni <luca.abeni@unitn.it> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Acked-by: Juri Lelli <juri.lelli@gmail.com> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> Cc: Dario Faggioli <raistlin@linux.it> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1418813432-20797-3-git-send-email-luca.abeni@unitn.itSigned-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>

According to global EDF, tasks should be migrated between runqueues without checking if their scheduling deadlines and runtimes are valid. However, SCHED_DEADLINE currently performs such a check: a migration happens doing: deactivate_task(rq, next_task, 0); set_task_cpu(next_task, later_rq->cpu); activate_task(later_rq, next_task, 0); which ends up calling dequeue_task_dl(), setting the new CPU, and then calling enqueue_task_dl(). enqueue_task_dl() then calls enqueue_dl_entity(), which calls update_dl_entity(), which can modify scheduling deadline and runtime, breaking global EDF scheduling. As a result, some of the properties of global EDF are not respected: for example, a taskset {(30, 80), (40, 80), (120, 170)} scheduled on two cores can have unbounded response times for the third task even if 30/80+40/80+120/170 = 1.5809 < 2 This can be fixed by invoking update_dl_entity() only in case of wakeup, or if this is a new SCHED_DEADLINE task.

As per e23738a7 ("sched, inotify: Deal with nested sleeps"). fanotify_read is a wait loop with sleeps in. Wait loops rely on task_struct::state and sleeps do too, since that's the only means of actually sleeping. Therefore the nested sleeps destroy the wait loop state and the wait loop breaks the sleep functions that assume TASK_RUNNING (mutex_lock). Fix this by using the new woken_wake_function and wait_woken() stuff, which registers wakeups in wait and thereby allows shrinking the task_state::state changes to the actual sleep part.

There was another report of a boot failure with a #GP fault in the uncore SBOX initialization. The earlier work around was not enough for this system. The boot was failing while trying to initialize the third SBOX. This patch detects parts with only two SBOXes and limits the number of SBOX units to two there. Stable material, as it affects boot problems on 3.18.

Perf reports user regs for kernel-mode samples so that samples can be backtraced through user code. The old code was very broken in syscall context, resulting in useless backtraces. The new code, in contrast, is still dangerously racy, but it should at least work most of the time.

On x86_64, at least, task_pt_regs may be only partially initialized in many contexts, so x86_64 should not use it without extra care from interrupt context, let alone NMI context. This will allow x86_64 to override the logic and will supply some scratch space to use to make a cleaner copy of user regs.

Charles Shirron and Paul Cassella from Cray Inc have reported kswapd stuck in a busy loop with nothing left to balance, but kswapd_try_to_sleep() failing to sleep. Their analysis found the cause to be a combination of several factors: 1. A process is waiting in throttle_direct_reclaim() on pgdat->pfmemalloc_wait 2. The process has been killed (by OOM in this case), but has not yet been scheduled to remove itself from the waitqueue and die. 3. kswapd checks for throttled processes in prepare_kswapd_sleep(): if (waitqueue_active(&pgdat->pfmemalloc_wait)) { wake_up(&pgdat->pfmemalloc_wait); return false; // kswapd will not go to sleep } However, for a process that was already killed, wake_up() does not remove the process from the waitqueue, since try_to_wake_up() checks its state first and returns false when the process is no longer waiting. 4. kswapd is running on the same CPU as the only CPU that the process is allowed to run on (through cpus_allowed, or possibly single-cpu system). 5. CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE=y kernel is used. If there's nothing to balance, kswapd encounters no voluntary preemption points and repeatedly fails prepare_kswapd_sleep(), blocking the process from running and removing itself from the waitqueue, which would let kswapd sleep. So, the source of the problem is that we prevent kswapd from going to sleep until there are processes waiting on the pfmemalloc_wait queue, and a process waiting on a queue is guaranteed to be removed from the queue only when it gets scheduled. This was done to make sure that no process is left sleeping on pfmemalloc_wait when kswapd itself goes to sleep. However, it isn't necessary to postpone kswapd sleep until the pfmemalloc_wait queue actually empties. To prevent processes from being left sleeping, it's actually enough to guarantee that all processes waiting on pfmemalloc_wait queue have been woken up by the time we put kswapd to sleep. This patch therefore fixes this issue by substituting 'wake_up' with 'wake_up_all' and removing 'return false' in the code snippet from prepare_kswapd_sleep() above. Note that if any process puts itself in the queue after this waitqueue_active() check, or after the wake up itself, it means that the process will also wake up kswapd - and since we are under prepare_to_wait(), the wake up won't be missed. Also we update the comment prepare_kswapd_sleep() to hopefully more clearly describe the races it is preventing.

We are supposed to take one css reference per each memory page and per each swap entry accounted to a memory cgroup. However, during task charges migration we take a reference to the destination cgroup twice per each swap entry: first in mem_cgroup_do_precharge()->try_charge() and then in mem_cgroup_move_swap_account(), permanently leaking the destination cgroup. The hunk taking the second reference seems to be a leftover from the pre-00501b53 ("mm: memcontrol: rewrite charge API") era. Remove it to fix the leak.

Commit 3e32cb2e ("mm: memcontrol: lockless page counters") accidentally switched the soft limit default from infinity to zero, which turns all memcgs with even a single page into soft limit excessors and engages soft limit reclaim on all of them during global memory pressure. This makes global reclaim generally more aggressive, but also inverts the meaning of existing soft limit configurations where unset soft limits are usually more generous than set ones.

Fix clashing values for O_PATH and FMODE_NONOTIFY on sparc. The clashing O_PATH value was added in commit 5229645b ("vfs: add nonconflicting values for O_PATH") but this can't be changed as it is user-visible. FMODE_NONOTIFY is only used internally in the kernel, but it is in the same numbering space as the other O_* flags, as indicated by the comment at the top of include/uapi/asm-generic/fcntl.h (and its use in fs/notify/fanotify/fanotify_user.c). So renumber it to avoid the clash. All of this has happened before (commit 12ed2e36: "fanotify: FMODE_NONOTIFY and __O_SYNC in sparc conflict"), and all of this will happen again -- so update the uniqueness check in fcntl_init() to include __FMODE_NONOTIFY.
