There are four cases I can see where we could end up with a NULL 'slot' in radix_tree_next_slot(). This unit test exercises all four of them, making sure that if in the future we have an unsafe path through radix_tree_next_slot(), we'll catch it. Here are details on the four cases: 1) radix_tree_iter_retry() via a non-tagged iteration like radix_tree_for_each_slot(). In this case we currently aren't seeing a bug because radix_tree_iter_retry() sets iter->next_index = iter->index; which means that in in the else case in radix_tree_next_slot(), 'count' is zero, so we skip over the while() loop and effectively just return NULL without ever dereferencing 'slot'. 2) radix_tree_iter_retry() via tagged iteration like radix_tree_for_each_tagged(). This case was giving us NULL pointer dereferences in testing, and was fixed with this commit: commit 3cb9185c ("radix-tree: fix radix_tree_iter_retry() for tagged iterators.") This fix doesn't explicitly check for 'slot' being NULL, though, it works around the NULL pointer dereference by instead zeroing iter->tags in radix_tree_iter_retry(), which makes us bail out of the if() case in radix_tree_next_slot() before we dereference 'slot'. 3) radix_tree_iter_next() via via a non-tagged iteration like radix_tree_for_each_slot(). This currently happens in shmem_tag_pins() and shmem_partial_swap_usage(). As with non-tagged iteration, 'count' in the else case of radix_tree_next_slot() is zero, so we skip over the while() loop and effectively just return NULL without ever dereferencing 'slot'. 4) radix_tree_iter_next() via tagged iteration like radix_tree_for_each_tagged(). This happens in shmem_wait_for_pins(). radix_tree_iter_next() zeros out iter->tags, so we end up exiting radix_tree_next_slot() here: if (flags & RADIX_TREE_ITER_TAGGED) { void *canon = slot; iter->tags >>= 1; if (unlikely(!iter->tags)) return NULL; Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20160815194237.25967-3-ross.zwisler@linux.intel.comSigned-off-by: Ross Zwisler <ross.zwisler@linux.intel.com> Cc: Konstantin Khlebnikov <koct9i@gmail.com> Cc: Andrey Ryabinin <aryabinin@virtuozzo.com> Cc: Dmitry Vyukov <dvyukov@google.com> Cc: Shuah Khan <shuahkh@osg.samsung.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

There are four cases I can see where we could end up with a NULL 'slot' in radix_tree_next_slot(). Yet radix_tree_next_slot() never actually checks whether 'slot' is NULL. It just happens that for the cases where 'slot' is NULL, some other combination of factors prevents us from dereferencing it. It would be very easy for someone to unwittingly change one of these factors without realizing that we are implicitly depending on it to save us from a NULL pointer dereference. Add a comment documenting the things that allow 'slot' to be safely passed as NULL to radix_tree_next_slot(). Here are details on the four cases: 1) radix_tree_iter_retry() via a non-tagged iteration like radix_tree_for_each_slot().

The select(2) syscall performs a kmalloc(size, GFP_KERNEL) where size grows with the number of fds passed. We had a customer report page allocation failures of order-4 for this allocation. This is a costly order, so it might easily fail, as the VM expects such allocation to have a lower-order fallback. Such trivial fallback is vmalloc(), as the memory doesn't have to be physically contiguous and the allocation is temporary for the duration of the syscall only. There were some concerns, whether this would have negative impact on the system by exposing vmalloc() to userspace. Although an excessive use of vmalloc can cause some system wide performance issues - TLB flushes etc. - a large order allocation is not for free either and an excessive reclaim/compaction can have a similar effect. Also note that the size is effectively limited by RLIMIT_NOFILE which defaults to 1024 on the systems I checked. That means the bitmaps will fit well within single page and thus the vmalloc() fallback could be only excercised for processes where root allows a higher limit. Note that the poll(2) syscall seems to use a linked list of order-0 pages, so it doesn't need this kind of fallback.

After much discussion, it seems that the fallocate feature flag FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE maps nicely to SCSI WRITE SAME; and the feature FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE maps nicely to the devices that have been whitelisted for zeroing SCSI UNMAP. Punch still requires that FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE is set. A length that goes past the end of the device will be clamped to the device size if KEEP_SIZE is set; or will return -EINVAL if not. Both start and length must be aligned to the device's logical block size. Since the semantics of fallocate are fairly well established already, wire up the two pieces. The other fallocate variants (collapse range, insert range, and allocate blocks) are not supported.

Make sure that the offset and length arguments that we're using to construct WRITE SAME and DISCARD requests are actually aligned to the logical block size. Failure to do this causes other errors in other parts of the block layer or the SCSI layer because disks don't support partial logical block writes.

Patch series "fallocate for block devices", v11. This is a patchset to fix page cache coherency with BLKZEROOUT and implement fallocate for block devices. The first patch is a fix to the existing BLKZEROOUT ioctl to invalidate the page cache if the zeroing command to the underlying device succeeds. Without this patch we still have the pagecache coherence bug that's been in the kernel forever. The second patch changes the internal block device functions to reject attempts to discard or zeroout that are not aligned to the logical block size. Previously, we only checked that the start/len parameters were 512-byte aligned, which caused kernel BUG_ONs for unaligned IOs to 4k-LBA devices. The third patch creates an fallocate handler for block devices, wires up the FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE flag to zeroing-discard, and connects FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE to write-same so that we can have a consistent fallocate interface between files and block devices. It also allows the combination of PUNCH_HOLE and NO_HIDE_STALE to invoke non-zeroing discard. Test cases for the new block device fallocate are now in xfstests as generic/349-351. This patch (of 3): Invalidate the page cache (as a regular O_DIRECT write would do) to avoid returning stale cache contents at a later time.

looking for duplicate ->iov_base makes sense only for iovec-backed iterators; for kvec-backed ones it's pointless, for bvec-backed ones it's pointless and broken on 32bit (we walk through an array of struct bio_vec accessing them as if they were struct iovec; works by accident on 64bit, but on 32bit it'll blow up) and for pipe-backed ones it's pointless and ends up oopsing.

by making sure we call iov_iter_advance() on original iov_iter even if direct_IO (done on its copy) has returned 0. It's a no-op for old iov_iter flavours and does the right thing (== truncation of the stuff we'd allocated, but not filled) in ITER_PIPE case. Failures (e.g. -EIO) get caught and dealt with by cleanup in generic_file_read_iter(). Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

Merge my system logging cleanups, triggered by the broken '\n' patches. The line continuation handling has been broken basically forever, and the code to handle the system log records was both confusing and dubious. And it would do entirely the wrong thing unless you always had a terminating newline, partly because it couldn't actually see whether a message was marked KERN_CONT or not (but partly because the LOG_CONT handling in the recording code was rather confusing too). This re-introduces a real semantically meaningful KERN_CONT, and fixes the few places I noticed where it was missing. There are probably more missing cases, since KERN_CONT hasn't actually had any semantic meaning for at least four years (other than the checkpatch meaning of "no log level necessary, this is a continuation line"). This also allows the combination of KERN_CONT and a log level. In that case the log level will be ignored if the merging with a previous line is successful, but if a new record is needed, that new record will now get the right log level. That also means that you can at least in theory combine KERN_CONT with the "pr_info()" style helpers, although any use of pr_fmt() prefixing would make that just result in a mess, of course (the prefix would end up in the middle of a continuing line). * printk-cleanups: printk: make reading the kernel log flush pending lines printk: re-organize log_output() to be more legible printk: split out core logging code into helper function printk: reinstate KERN_CONT for printing continuation lines

After backporting commit ee44b4bc ("dlm: use sctp 1-to-1 API") series to a kernel with an older workqueue which didn't use RCU yet, it was noticed that we are freeing the workqueues in dlm_lowcomms_stop() too early as free_conn() will try to access that memory for canceling the queued works if any. This issue was introduced by commit 0d737a8c as before it such attempt to cancel the queued works wasn't performed, so the issue was not present. This patch fixes it by simply inverting the free order.
