At the point where r is being checked for different values, r is always
going to be equal to 2 as the previous if statements jump to end or end1
if r is not 2.  Hence the assignment to err can be simplified to just
err an assignment without any checks on the value or r.

Thanks for your work in this area. I still remember the first linux
storage summit we did in Vancouver 2001, Tejun was invited to talk about
his libata error handling work. Before that, it was basically a crap
shoot if we recovered properly or not... A lot of water has flown under

Use new return type vm_fault_t for fault handler.  For now, this is just
documenting that the function returns a VM_FAULT value rather than an
errno.  Once all instances are converted, vm_fault_t will become a
distinct type.

Ref-> commit 1c8f4220 ("mm: change return type to vm_fault_t")

The aim is to change the return type of finish_fault() and
handle_mm_fault() to vm_fault_t type.  As part of that clean up return
type of all other recursively called functions have been changed to
vm_fault_t type.

The places from where handle_mm_fault() is getting invoked will be
change to vm_fault_t type but in a separate patch.

vmf_error() is the newly introduce inline function in 4.17-rc6.

The font files contain bit masks for characters in the cp437 character
set, and comments showing what character this is supposed to be.

This only makes sense when the terminal used to view the files is set to
the same codepage, but all other files in the kernel now use utf-8
encoding.

This changes those comments to utf-8 as well, for consistency.

The ebcdic.c file contains tables for converting between ebcdic and PC
codepage 437.  I could however not identify which encoding was used for
the comments.  This seems to be some variation of ISO_8859-1 with
non-UTF-8 escape characters.

I have converted this to UTF-8 by manually removing the escape
characters and then running it through recode, to get the same encoding
that we use for the rest of the kernel.

Aside from really minor changes in the first three patches, the updates
are:

* move the documentation of kstrdup and friends to "String Manipulation"
  section
* split memory management API into a separate .rst file
* adjust formating of the GFP flags description and include it in the
  reference documentation.

This patch (of 7):

The description of the strndup_user function misses '*' character at the
beginning of the comment to be proper kernel-doc.  Add the missing
character.

Without CONFIG_MMU, we get a build warning:

  fs/proc/vmcore.c:228:12: error: 'vmcoredd_mmap_dumps' defined but not used [-Werror=unused-function]
   static int vmcoredd_mmap_dumps(struct vm_area_struct *vma, unsigned long dst,

The function is only referenced from an #ifdef'ed caller, so
this uses the same #ifdef around it.

Use new return type vm_fault_t for fault handler in struct
vm_operations_struct.  For now, this is just documenting that the
function returns a VM_FAULT value rather than an errno.  Once all
instances are converted, vm_fault_t will become a distinct type.

See 1c8f4220 ("mm: change return type to vm_fault_t") for reference.

A process can be killed with SIGBUS(BUS_MCEERR_AR) when it tries to
allocate a page that was just freed on the way of soft-offline.  This is
undesirable because soft-offline (which is about corrected error) is
less aggressive than hard-offline (which is about uncorrected error),
and we can make soft-offline fail and keep using the page for good
reason like "system is busy."

Two main changes of this patch are:

- setting migrate type of the target page to MIGRATE_ISOLATE. As done
  in free_unref_page_commit(), this makes kernel bypass pcplist when
  freeing the page. So we can assume that the page is in freelist just
  after put_page() returns,

- setting PG_hwpoison on free page under zone->lock which protects
  freelists, so this allows us to avoid setting PG_hwpoison on a page
  that is decided to be allocated soon.

Patch series "mm: soft-offline: fix race against page allocation".

Xishi recently reported the issue about race on reusing the target pages
of soft offlining.  Discussion and analysis showed that we need make
sure that setting PG_hwpoison should be done in the right place under
zone->lock for soft offline.  1/2 handles free hugepage's case, and 2/2
hanldes free buddy page's case.

This patch (of 2):

There's a race condition between soft offline and hugetlb_fault which
causes unexpected process killing and/or hugetlb allocation failure.

The process killing is caused by the following flow:

  CPU 0               CPU 1              CPU 2

  soft offline
    get_any_page
    // find the hugetlb is free
                      mmap a hugetlb file
                      page fault
                        ...
                          hugetlb_fault
                            hugetlb_no_page
                              alloc_huge_page
                              // succeed
      soft_offline_free_page
      // set hwpoison flag
                                         mmap the hugetlb file
                                         page fault
                                           ...
                                             hugetlb_fault
                                               hugetlb_no_page
                                                 find_lock_page
                                                   return VM_FAULT_HWPOISON
                                           mm_fault_error
                                             do_sigbus
                                             // kill the process

The hugetlb allocation failure comes from the following flow:

  CPU 0                          CPU 1

                                 mmap a hugetlb file
                                 // reserve all free page but don't fault-in
  soft offline
    get_any_page
    // find the hugetlb is free
      soft_offline_free_page
      // set hwpoison flag
        dissolve_free_huge_page
        // fail because all free hugepages are reserved
                                 page fault
                                   ...
                                     hugetlb_fault
                                       hugetlb_no_page
                                         alloc_huge_page
                                           ...
                                             dequeue_huge_page_node_exact
                                             // ignore hwpoisoned hugepage
                                             // and finally fail due to no-mem

The root cause of this is that current soft-offline code is written based
on an assumption that PageHWPoison flag should be set at first to avoid
accessing the corrupted data.  This makes sense for memory_failure() or
hard offline, but does not for soft offline because soft offline is about
corrected (not uncorrected) error and is safe from data lost.  This patch
changes soft offline semantics where it sets PageHWPoison flag only after
containment of the error page completes successfully.
