When a memcg is deleted mem_cgroup_reparent_charges() moves charged memory to the parent memcg. As of v3.11-9444-g3ea67d06 "memcg: add per cgroup writeback pages accounting" there's bad pointer read. The goal was to check for counter underflow. The counter is a per cpu counter and there are two problems with the code: (1) per cpu access function isn't used, instead a naked pointer is used which easily causes oops. (2) the check doesn't sum all cpus Test: $ cd /sys/fs/cgroup/memory $ mkdir x $ echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches $ (echo $BASHPID >> x/tasks && exec cat) & [1] 7154 $ grep ^mapped x/memory.stat mapped_file 53248 $ echo 7154 > tasks $ rmdir x <OOPS> The fix is to remove the check. It's currently dangerous and isn't worth fixing it to use something expensive, such as percpu_counter_sum(), for each reparented page. __this_cpu_read() isn't enough to fix this because there's no guarantees of the current cpus count. The only guarantees is that the sum of all per-cpu counter is >= nr_pages. Fixes: 3ea67d06 ("memcg: add per cgroup writeback pages accounting") Reported-and-tested-by:

Commit b1adaf65 ("[SCSI] block: add sg buffer copy helper functions") introduces two sg buffer copy helpers, and calls flush_kernel_dcache_page() on pages in SG list after these pages are written to. Unfortunately, the commit may introduce a potential bug: - Before sending some SCSI commands, kmalloc() buffer may be passed to block layper, so flush_kernel_dcache_page() can see a slab page finally - According to cachetlb.txt, flush_kernel_dcache_page() is only called on "a user page", which surely can't be a slab page. - ARCH's implementation of flush_kernel_dcache_page() may use page mapping information to do optimization so page_mapping() will see the slab page, then VM_BUG_ON() is triggered. Aaro Koskinen reported the bug on ARM/kirkwood when DEBUG_VM is enabled, and this patch fixes the bug by adding test of '!PageSlab(miter->page)' before calling flush_kernel_dcache_page().

When memcg code needs to know whether any given memcg has children, it uses the cgroup child iteration primitives and returns true/false depending on whether the iteration loop is executed at least once or not. Because a cgroup's list of children is RCU protected, these primitives require the RCU read-lock to be held, which is not the case for all memcg callers. This results in the following splat when e.g. enabling hierarchy mode: WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 1 at kernel/cgroup.c:3043 css_next_child+0xa3/0x160() CPU: 3 PID: 1 Comm: systemd Not tainted 3.12.0-rc5-00117-g83f11a9c-dirty #18 Hardware name: LENOVO 3680B56/3680B56, BIOS 6QET69WW (1.39 ) 04/26/2012 Call Trace: dump_stack+0x54/0x74 warn_slowpath_common+0x78/0xa0 warn_slowpath_null+0x1a/0x20 css_next_child+0xa3/0x160 mem_cgroup_hierarchy_write+0x5b/0xa0 cgroup_file_write+0x108/0x2a0 vfs_write+0xbd/0x1e0 SyS_write+0x4c/0xa0 system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b In the memcg case, we only care about children when we are attempting to modify inheritable attributes interactively. Racing with deletion could mean a spurious -EBUSY, no problem. Racing with addition is handled just fine as well through the memcg_create_mutex: if the child group is not on the list after the mutex is acquired, it won't be initialized from the parent's attributes until after the unlock.

Commit 84235de3 ("fs: buffer: move allocation failure loop into the allocator") allowed __GFP_NOFAIL allocations to bypass the limit if they fail to reclaim enough memory for the charge. But because the main test case was on a 3.2-based system, the patch missed the fact that on newer kernels the charge function needs to return root_mem_cgroup when bypassing the limit, and not NULL. This will corrupt whatever memory is at NULL + percpu pointer offset. Fix this quickly before problems are reported. Signed-off-by:

We do not want to dirty the dentry->d_flags cacheline in dput() just to set the DCACHE_REFERENCED flag when it is already set in the common case anyway. This way the first cacheline of the dentry (which contains the RCU lookup information etc) can stay shared among multiple CPU's. This finishes off some of the details of all the scalability patches merged during the merge window. Also don't mark dentry_kill() for inlining, since it's the uncommon path and inlining it just makes the common path slower due to extra function entry/exit overhead. Signed-off-by: -

As of commit 3ea67d06 ("memcg: add per cgroup writeback pages accounting") memcg counter errors are possible when moving charged memory to a different memcg. Charge movement occurs when processing writes to memory.force_empty, moving tasks to a memcg with memcg.move_charge_at_immigrate=1, or memcg deletion. An example showing error after memory.force_empty: $ cd /sys/fs/cgroup/memory $ mkdir x $ rm /data/tmp/file $ (echo $BASHPID >> x/tasks && exec mmap_writer /data/tmp/file 1M) & [1] 13600 $ grep ^mapped x/memory.stat mapped_file 1048576 $ echo 13600 > tasks $ echo 1 > x/memory.force_empty $ grep ^mapped x/memory.stat mapped_file 4503599627370496 mapped_file should end with 0. 4503599627370496 == 0x10,0000,0000,0000 == 0x100,0000,0000 pages 1048576 == 0x10,0000 == 0x100 pages This issue only affects the source memcg on 64 bit machines; the destination memcg counters are correct. So the rmdir case is not too important because such counters are soon disappearing with the entire memcg. But the memcg.force_empty and memory.move_charge_at_immigrate=1 cases are larger problems as the bogus counters are visible for the (possibly long) remaining life of the source memcg. The problem is due to memcg use of __this_cpu_from(.., -nr_pages), which is subtly wrong because it subtracts the unsigned int nr_pages (either -1 or -512 for THP) from a signed long percpu counter. When nr_pages=-1, -nr_pages=0xffffffff. On 64 bit machines stat->count[idx] is signed 64 bit. So memcg's attempt to simply decrement a count (e.g. from 1 to 0) boils down to: long count = 1 unsigned int nr_pages = 1 count += -nr_pages /* -nr_pages == 0xffff,ffff */ count is now 0x1,0000,0000 instead of 0 The fix is to subtract the unsigned page count rather than adding its negation. This only works once "percpu: fix this_cpu_sub() subtrahend casting for unsigneds" is applied to fix this_cpu_sub(). Signed-off-by:

this_cpu_sub() is implemented as negation and addition. This patch casts the adjustment to the counter type before negation to sign extend the adjustment. This helps in cases where the counter type is wider than an unsigned adjustment. An alternative to this patch is to declare such operations unsupported, but it seemed useful to avoid surprises. This patch specifically helps the following example: unsigned int delta = 1 preempt_disable() this_cpu_write(long_counter, 0) this_cpu_sub(long_counter, delta) preempt_enable() Before this change long_counter on a 64 bit machine ends with value 0xffffffff, rather than 0xffffffffffffffff. This is because this_cpu_sub(pcp, delta) boils down to this_cpu_add(pcp, -delta), which is basically: long_counter = 0 + 0xffffffff Also apply the same cast to: __this_cpu_sub() __this_cpu_sub_return() this_cpu_sub_return() All percpu_test.ko passes, especially the following cases which previously failed: l -= ui_one; __this_cpu_sub(long_counter, ui_one); CHECK(l, long_counter, -1); l -= ui_one; this_cpu_sub(long_counter, ui_one); CHECK(l, long_counter, -1); CHECK(l, long_counter, 0xffffffffffffffff); ul -= ui_one; __this_cpu_sub(ulong_counter, ui_one); CHECK(ul, ulong_counter, -1); CHECK(ul, ulong_counter, 0xffffffffffffffff); ul = this_cpu_sub_return(ulong_counter, ui_one); CHECK(ul, ulong_counter, 2); ul = __this_cpu_sub_return(ulong_counter, ui_one); CHECK(ul, ulong_counter, 1); Signed-off-by:

Commit 2dc41281 (ACPI / hotplug / PCI: Avoid doing too much for spurious notifies) changed the enable_slot() to check return value of pci_scan_slot() and if it is zero return early from the function. It means that there were no new devices in this particular slot. However, if a device appeared deeper in the hierarchy the code now ignores it causing things like Thunderbolt chaining fail to recognize new devices. The problem with Alex Williamson's machine was solved with commit a47d8c8e (ACPI / hotplug / PCI: Avoid parent bus rescans on spurious device checks) and hence we should be able to restore the original functionality that we always rescan on bus check notification. On a device check notification we still check what acpiphp_rescan_slot() returns and on zero bail out early.

Resuming from suspend on i686 on (release candidates of) v3.11 and later triggers issues like: traps: systemd[1] general protection ip:b738e490 sp:bf882fc0 error:0 in libc-2.16.so[b731c000+1b0000] and traps: rtkit-daemon[552] general protection ip:804d6e5 sp:b6cb32f0 error:0 in rtkit-daemon[8048000+d000] Once I hit the systemd error I can only get out of the mess that the system is at that point by power cycling it. Since we are reverting another freezer-related change causing similar problems to happen, this one should be reverted as well. References: https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/10/29/583Reported-by:

This reverts commit 1c441e92 (epoll: use freezable blocking call) which is reported to cause user space memory corruption to happen after suspend to RAM. Since it appears to be extremely difficult to root cause this problem, it is best to revert the offending commit and try to address the original issue in a better way later.

I don't know if this was due to cut and paste, or somebody was really using a D20 to pick the error code for kvm_init_debugfs as suggested by Linus (EFAULT is 14, so the possibility cannot be entirely ruled out). In any case, this patch fixes it. Reported-by:

The x86 specific kvm init creates a new conflicting debugfs directory which causes modprobe issues with kvm_intel and kvm_amd. For example, sudo modprobe kvm_amd modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'kvm_amd': Bad address The simplest fix is to just rename the directory. The following KVM config options are set: CONFIG_KVM_GUEST=y CONFIG_KVM_DEBUG_FS=y CONFIG_HAVE_KVM=y CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_IRQCHIP=y CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_IRQ_ROUTING=y CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_EVENTFD=y CONFIG_KVM_APIC_ARCHITECTURE=y CONFIG_KVM_MMIO=y CONFIG_KVM_ASYNC_PF=y CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_MSI=y CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_CPU_RELAX_INTERCEPT=y CONFIG_KVM=m CONFIG_KVM_INTEL=m CONFIG_KVM_AMD=m CONFIG_KVM_DEVICE_ASSIGNMENT=y Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com> Cc: "H.

DRM_IOCTL_VERSION is a reliable way to get the driver-name and version information. It's not related to the interface-version (SET_VERSION ioctl) so we can safely enable it on render-nodes. Note that gbm uses udev-BUSID to load the correct mesa driver. However, the VERSION ioctl should be the more reliable way to do this (in case we add new DRM-bus drivers which have no BUSID or similar). Signed-off-by:

Nico Golde reports a few straggling uses of [io_]remap_pfn_range() that really should use the vm_iomap_memory() helper. This trivially converts two of them to the helper, and comments about why the third one really needs to continue to use remap_pfn_range(), and adds the missing size check. Reported-by: -

Without the timer debugging, the delayed kobject release will just result in undebuggable oopses if it triggers any latent bugs. That doesn't actually help debugging at all. So make DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE depend on DEBUG_OBJECTS_TIMERS to avoid having people enable one without the other. Signed-off-by: -

Originally I've thought that this is leftover hw state dirt from the BIOS. But after way too much helpless flailing around on my part I've noticed that the actual bug is when we change the state of an already active pipe. For example when we change the fdi lines from 2 to 3 without switching off outputs in-between we'll never see the crucial on->off transition in the ->modeset_global_resources hook the current logic relies on. Patch version 2 got this right by instead also checking whether the pipe is indeed active. But that in turn broke things when pipes have been turned off through dpms since the bifurcate enabling is done in the ->crtc_mode_set callback. To address this issues discussed with Ville in the patch review move the setting of the bifurcate bit into the ->crtc_enable hook. That way we won't wreak havoc with this state when userspace puts all other outputs into dpms off state. This also moves us forward with our overall goal to unify the modeset and dpms on paths (which we need to have to allow runtime pm in the dpms off state). Unfortunately this requires us to move the bifurcate helpers around a bit. Also update the commit message, I've misanalyzed the bug rather badly.

A THP PMD update is accounted for as 512 pages updated in vmstat. This is large difference when estimating the cost of automatic NUMA balancing and can be misleading when comparing results that had collapsed versus split THP. This patch addresses the accounting issue. Signed-off-by:
