      On 64 bit systems the agp_info struct has a 4 byte hole between
->agp_mode and ->aper_base.  We need to clear it to avoid disclosing
stack information to userspace.

      fanotify: fix -EOVERFLOW with large files on 64-bit · 1e2ee49f
      Will Woods authored 
      On 64-bit systems, O_LARGEFILE is automatically added to flags inside
the open() syscall (also openat(), blkdev_open(), etc).  Userspace
therefore defines O_LARGEFILE to be 0 - you can use it, but it's a
no-op.  Everything should be O_LARGEFILE by default.

But: when fanotify does create_fd() it uses dentry_open(), which skips
all that.  And userspace can't set O_LARGEFILE in fanotify_init()
because it's defined to 0.  So if fanotify gets an event regarding a
large file, the read() will just fail with -EOVERFLOW.

This patch adds O_LARGEFILE to fanotify_init()'s event_f_flags on 64-bit
systems, using the same test as open()/openat()/etc.

Sysfs has a release mechanism.  Use that to release the kmem_cache

Only slub is changed - slab currently only supports /proc/slabinfo and
not /sys/kernel/slab/*.  We talked about adding that and someone was
working on it.

      revert "mm: vmscan: do not swap anon pages just because free+file is low" · 62376251
      Johannes Weiner authored 
      This reverts commit 0bf1457f ("mm: vmscan: do not swap anon pages
just because free+file is low") because it introduced a regression in
mostly-anonymous workloads, where reclaim would become ineffective and
trap every allocating task in direct reclaim.

The problem is that there is a runaway feedback loop in the scan balance
between file and anon, where the balance tips heavily towards a tiny
thrashing file LRU and anonymous pages are no longer being looked at.
The commit in question removed the safe guard that would detect such
situations and respond with forced anonymous reclaim.

This commit was part of a series to fix premature swapping in loads with
relatively little cache, and while it made a small difference, the cure
is obviously worse than the disease.  Revert it.

      autofs: fix lockref lookup · 6b6751f7
      Ian Kent authored 
      autofs needs to be able to see private data dentry flags for its dentrys
that are being created but not yet hashed and for its dentrys that have
been rmdir()ed but not yet freed.  It needs to do this so it can block
processes in these states until a status has been returned to indicate
the given operation is complete.

It does this by keeping two lists, active and expring, of dentrys in
this state and uses ->d_release() to keep them stable while it checks
the reference count to determine if they should be used.

But with the recent lockref changes dentrys being freed sometimes don't
transition to a reference count of 0 before being freed so autofs can
occassionally use a dentry that is invalid which can lead to a panic.

      mm: filemap: update find_get_pages_tag() to deal with shadow entries · 139b6a6f
      Johannes Weiner authored 
      Dave Jones reports the following crash when find_get_pages_tag() runs

  1347                         BUG();

After commit 0cd6144a ("mm + fs: prepare for non-page entries in
page cache radix trees") this comment and BUG() are out of date because
exceptional entries can now appear in all mappings - as shadows of
recently evicted pages.

However, as Hugh Dickins notes,

  "it is truly surprising for a PAGECACHE_TAG_WRITEBACK (and probably
   any other PAGECACHE_TAG_*) to appear on an exceptional entry.

   I expect it comes down to an occasional race in RCU lookup of the
   radix_tree: lacking absolute synchronization, we might sometimes
   catch an exceptional entry, with the tag which really belongs with
   the unexceptional entry which was there an instant before."

And indeed, not only is the tree walk lockless, the tags are also read
in chunks, one radix tree node at a time.  There is plenty of time for
page reclaim to swoop in and replace a page that was already looked up
as tagged with a shadow entry.

Remove the BUG() and update the comment.  While reviewing all other
lookup sites for whether they properly deal with shadow entries of
evicted pages, update all the comments and fix memcg file charge moving
to not miss shmem/tmpfs swapcache pages.

Fixes: 0cd6144a ("mm + fs: prepare for non-page entries in page cache radix trees")

      mm/compaction: make isolate_freepages start at pageblock boundary · 49e068f0
      Vlastimil Babka authored 
      The compaction freepage scanner implementation in isolate_freepages()
starts by taking the current cc->free_pfn value as the first pfn.  In a
for loop, it scans from this first pfn to the end of the pageblock, and
then subtracts pageblock_nr_pages from the first pfn to obtain the first
pfn for the next for loop iteration.

This means that when cc->free_pfn starts at offset X rather than being
aligned on pageblock boundary, the scanner will start at offset X in all
scanned pageblock, ignoring potentially many free pages.  Currently this
can happen when

 a) zone's end pfn is not pageblock aligned, or

 b) through zone->compact_cached_free_pfn with CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE
    enabled and a hole spanning the beginning of a pageblock

This patch fixes the problem by aligning the initial pfn in
isolate_freepages() to pageblock boundary.  This also permits replacing
the end-of-pageblock alignment within the for loop with a simple
pageblock_nr_pages increment.

      mm/page-writeback.c: fix divide by zero in pos_ratio_polynom · d5c9fde3

      It is possible for "limit - setpoint + 1" to equal zero, after getting
truncated to a 32 bit variable, and resulting in a divide by zero error.

Using the fully 64 bit divide functions avoids this problem.  It also
will cause pos_ratio_polynom() to return the correct value when
(setpoint - limit) exceeds 2^32.

Also uninline pos_ratio_polynom, at Andrew's request.

      hugetlb: ensure hugepage access is denied if hugepages are not supported · 457c1b27
      Nishanth Aravamudan authored 
      Currently, I am seeing the following when I `mount -t hugetlbfs /none
/dev/hugetlbfs`, and then simply do a `ls /dev/hugetlbfs`.  I think it's
related to the fact that hugetlbfs is properly not correctly setting
itself up in this state?:

  Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0x00000031
  Faulting instruction address: 0xc000000000245710
  Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1]
  SMP NR_CPUS=2048 NUMA pSeries
  ....

In KVM guests on Power, in a guest not backed by hugepages, we see the
following:

  AnonHugePages:         0 kB
  HugePages_Total:       0
  HugePages_Free:        0
  HugePages_Rsvd:        0
  HugePages_Surp:        0
  Hugepagesize:         64 kB

HPAGE_SHIFT == 0 in this configuration, which indicates that hugepages
are not supported at boot-time, but this is only checked in
hugetlb_init().  Extract the check to a helper function, and use it in a
few relevant places.

This does make hugetlbfs not supported (not registered at all) in this
environment.  I believe this is fine, as there are no valid hugepages
and that won't change at runtime.

      posix_acl: handle NULL ACL in posix_acl_equiv_mode · 50c6e282
      Christoph Hellwig authored 
      Various filesystems don't bother checking for a NULL ACL in
posix_acl_equiv_mode, and thus can dereference a NULL pointer when it
gets passed one. This usually happens from the NFS server, as the ACL tools
never pass a NULL ACL, but instead of one representing the mode bits.

Instead of adding boilerplat to all filesystems put this check into one place,
which will allow us to remove the check from other filesystems as well later
on.
