Pull SCSI target fixes from Nicholas Bellinger: "The executive summary includes: - Post-merge review comments for tcm_vhost (MST + nab) - Avoid debugging overhead when not debugging for tcm-fc(FCoE) (MDR) - Fix NULL pointer dereference bug on alloc_page failulre (Yi Zou) - Fix REPORT_LUNs regression bug with pSCSI export (AlexE + nab) - Fix regression bug with handling of zero-length data CDBs (nab) - Fix vhost_scsi_target structure alignment (MST) Thanks again to everyone who contributed a bugfix patch, gave review feedback on tcm_vhost code, and/or reported a bug during their own testing over the last weeks. There is one other outstanding bug reported by Roland recently related to SCSI transfer length overflow handling, for which the current proposed bugfix has been left in queue pending further testing with other non iscsi-target based fabric drivers. As the patch is verified with loopback (local SGL memory from SCSI LLD) + tcm_qla2xxx (TCM allocated SGL memory mapped to PCI HW) fabric ports, it will be included into the next 3.6-rc-fixes PULL request." * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nab/target-pending: target: Remove unused se_cmd.cmd_spdtl tcm_fc: rcu_deref outside rcu lock/unlock section tcm_vhost: Fix vhost_scsi_target structure alignment target: Fix regression bug with handling of zero-length data CDBs target/pscsi: Fix bug with REPORT_LUNs handling for SCSI passthrough tcm_vhost: Change vhost_scsi_target->vhost_wwpn to char * target: fix NULL pointer dereference bug alloc_page() fails to get memory tcm_fc: Avoid debug overhead when not debugging tcm_vhost: Post-merge review changes requested by MST tcm_vhost: Fix incorrect IS_ERR() usage in vhost_scsi_map_iov_to_sgl

Very broadly speaking this patch expands the concept. This patch introduces compact_checklock_irqsave() to check if a lock is contended or the process needs to be scheduled. If either condition is true then async compaction is aborted and the caller is informed. The page allocator will fail a THP allocation if compaction failed due to contention. This patch also introduces compact_trylock_irqsave() which will acquire the lock only if it is not contended and the process does not need to schedule.

Commit 7db8889a ("mm: have order > 0 compaction start off where it left") introduced a caching mechanism to reduce the amount work the free page scanner does in compaction. However, it has a problem. Consider two process simultaneously scanning free pages C Process A M S F |---------------------------------------| Process B M FS C is zone->compact_cached_free_pfn S is cc->start_pfree_pfn M is cc->migrate_pfn F is cc->free_pfn In this diagram, Process A has just reached its migrate scanner, wrapped around and updated compact_cached_free_pfn accordingly. Simultaneously, Process B finishes isolating in a block and updates compact_cached_free_pfn again to the location of its free scanner. Process A moves to "end_of_zone - one_pageblock" and runs this check if (cc->order > 0 && (!cc->wrapped || zone->compact_cached_free_pfn > cc->start_free_pfn)) pfn = min(pfn, zone->compact_cached_free_pfn); compact_cached_free_pfn is above where it started so the free scanner skips almost the entire space it should have scanned. When there are multiple processes compacting it can end in a situation where the entire zone is not being scanned at all. Further, it is possible for two processes to ping-pong update to compact_cached_free_pfn which is just random. Overall, the end result wrecks allocation success rates. There is not an obvious way around this problem without introducing new locking and state so this patch takes a different approach. First, it gets rid of the skip logic because it's not clear that it matters if two free scanners happen to be in the same block but with racing updates it's too easy for it to skip over blocks it should not. Second, it updates compact_cached_free_pfn in a more limited set of circumstances. If a scanner has wrapped, it updates compact_cached_free_pfn to the end of the zone. When a wrapped scanner isolates a page, it updates compact_cached_free_pfn to point to the highest pageblock it can isolate pages from. If a scanner has not wrapped when it has finished isolated pages it checks if compact_cached_free_pfn is pointing to the end of the zone. If so, the value is updated to point to the highest pageblock that pages were isolated from. This value will not be updated again until a free page scanner wraps and resets compact_cached_free_pfn. This is not optimal and it can still race but the compact_cached_free_pfn will be pointing to or very near a pageblock with free pages.

Correct the offset by subtracting 20 from tm_hour before taking the modulo 12. [ "Why 20?" I hear you ask. Or at least I did. Here's the reason why: RS5C348_BIT_PM is 32, and is - stupidly - included in the RS5C348_HOURS_MASK define. So it's really subtracting out that bit to get "hour+12". But then because it does things modulo 12, it needs to add the 12 in again afterwards anyway. This code is confused. It would be much clearer if RS5C348_HOURS_MASK just didn't include the RS5C348_BIT_PM bit at all, then it wouldn't need to do the silly subtract either. Whatever. It's all just math, the end result is the same. - Linus ] Reported-by: James Nute <newten82@gmail.com> Tested-by: James Nute <newten82@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Atsushi Nemoto <anemo@mba.ocn.ne.jp> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Commit cfd19c5a ("mm: only set page->pfmemalloc when ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS was used") tried to narrow down page->pfmemalloc setting, but it missed some places the pfmemalloc should be set.

Each page mapped in a process's address space must be correctly accounted for in _mapcount. Normally the rules for this are straightforward but hugetlbfs page table sharing is different. The page table pages at the PMD level are reference counted while the mapcount remains the same. If this accounting is wrong, it causes bugs like this one reported by Larry Woodman: kernel BUG at mm/filemap.c:135! invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP CPU 22 Modules linked in: bridge stp llc sunrpc binfmt_misc dcdbas microcode pcspkr acpi_pad acpi] Pid: 18001, comm: mpitest Tainted: G W 3.3.0+ #4 Dell Inc.

The logic is if the PMD page is the same, they must be shared. This assumes that the sharing is between the parent and child. However, if the sharing is with a different process entirely then this check fails as in this diagram: parent | ------------>pmd src_pte----------> data page ^ other--------->pmd--------------------| ^ child-----------| dst_pte For this situation to occur, it must be possible for Parent and Other to have faulted and failed to share page tables with each other. This is possible due to the following style of race. PROC A PROC B copy_hugetlb_page_range copy_hugetlb_page_range src_pte == huge_pte_offset src_pte == huge_pte_offset !src_pte so no sharing !src_pte so no sharing (time passes) hugetlb_fault hugetlb_fault huge_pte_alloc huge_pte_alloc huge_pmd_share huge_pmd_share LOCK(i_mmap_mutex) find nothing, no sharing UNLOCK(i_mmap_mutex) LOCK(i_mmap_mutex) find nothing, no sharing UNLOCK(i_mmap_mutex) pmd_alloc pmd_alloc LOCK(instantiation_mutex) fault UNLOCK(instantiation_mutex) LOCK(instantiation_mutex) fault UNLOCK(instantiation_mutex) These two processes are not poing to the same data page but are not sharing page tables because the opportunity was missed. When either process later forks, the src_pte == dst pte is potentially insufficient. As the check falls through, the wrong PTE information is copied in (harmless but wrong) and the mapcount is bumped for a page mapped by a shared page table leading to the BUG_ON. This patch addresses the issue by moving pmd_alloc into huge_pmd_share which guarantees that the shared pud is populated in the same critical section as pmd. This also means that huge_pte_offset test in huge_pmd_share is serialized correctly now which in turn means that the success of the sharing will be higher as the racing tasks see the pud and pmd populated together.

Occasionally an isolated BUG_ON(mm->nr_ptes) gets reported, indicating that not all the page tables allocated could be found and freed when exit_mmap() tore down the user address space. There's usually nothing we can say about it, beyond that it's probably a sign of some bad memory or memory corruption; though it might still indicate a bug in vma or page table management (and did recently reveal a race in THP, fixed a few months ago). But one overdue change we can make is from BUG_ON to WARN_ON. It's fairly likely that the system will crash shortly afterwards in some other way (for example, the BUG_ON(page_mapped(page)) in __delete_from_page_cache(), once an inode mapped into the lost page tables gets evicted); but might tell us more before that. Change the BUG_ON(page_mapped) to WARN_ON too? Later perhaps: I'm less eager, since that one has several times led to fixes.

If "l->stripe_unit" is zero the the mod on the next line will cause a divide by zero bug. This comes from the copy_from_user() in ceph_ioctl_set_layout_policy(). Passing 0 is valid, though (it means "do not change") so avoid the % check in that case.

Because the Ceph client messenger uses a non-blocking connect, it is possible for the sending of the client banner to race with the arrival of the banner sent by the peer. When ceph_sock_state_change() notices the connect has completed, it schedules work to process the socket via con_work(). During this time the peer is writing its banner, and arrival of the peer banner races with con_work(). If con_work() calls try_read() before the peer banner arrives, there is nothing for it to do, after which con_work() calls try_write() to send the client's banner. In this case Ceph's protocol negotiation can complete succesfully. The server-side messenger immediately sends its banner and addresses after accepting a connect request, *before* actually attempting to read or verify the banner from the client. As a result, it is possible for the banner from the server to arrive before con_work() calls try_read(). If that happens, try_read() will read the banner and prepare protocol negotiation info via prepare_write_connect(). prepare_write_connect() calls con_out_kvec_reset(), which discards the as-yet-unsent client banner. Next, con_work() calls try_write(), which sends the protocol negotiation info rather than the banner that the peer is expecting. The result is that the peer sees an invalid banner, and the client reports "negotiation failed". Fix this by moving con_out_kvec_reset() out of prepare_write_connect() to its callers at all locations except the one where the banner might still need to be sent.

Pablo Neira Ayuso discovered that avahi and potentially NetworkManager accept spoofed Netlink messages because of a kernel bug. The kernel passes all-zero SCM_CREDENTIALS ancillary data to the receiver if the sender did not provide such data, instead of not including any such data at all or including the correct data from the peer (as it is the case with AF_UNIX). This bug was introduced in commit 16e57262 (af_unix: dont send SCM_CREDENTIALS by default) This patch forces passing credentials for netlink, as before the regression. Another fix would be to not add SCM_CREDENTIALS in netlink messages if not provided by the sender, but it might break some programs.

Since 0e734419 ("ipv4: Use inet_csk_route_child_sock() in DCCP and TCP."), inet_csk_route_child_sock() is called instead of inet_csk_route_req(). However, after creating the child-sock in tcp/dccp_v4_syn_recv_sock(), ireq->opt is set to NULL, before calling inet_csk_route_child_sock(). Thus, inside inet_csk_route_child_sock() opt is always NULL and the SRR-options are not respected anymore. Packets sent by the server won't have the correct destination-IP. This patch fixes it by accessing newinet->inet_opt instead of ireq->opt inside inet_csk_route_child_sock().
