      GFS2: For exhash conversion, only one block is needed · 22b5a6c0
      Steven Whitehouse authored
      For most cases, only a single new block is needed when we reach
      the point of converting from stuffed to exhash directory. The
      exception being when the file name is so long that it will not
      fit within the new leaf block.
      
      So this patch adds a simple test for that situation so that we
      do not need to request the full reservation size in this case.
      
      Potentially we could calculate more accurately the value to use
      in other cases too, but that is much more complicated to do and
      it is doubtful that the benefit would outweigh the extra cost
      in code complexity.

      GFS2: Remember directory insert point · 2b47dad8
      Steven Whitehouse authored
      When we look to see if there is enough space to add a dir
      entry without allocation, we have then been repeating the
      same search later when we do the actual insertion. This
      patch caches the details of the location in the gfs2_diradd
      structure, so that we do not have to repeat the search.
      
      This will provide a performance improvement which will be
      greater as the size of the directory increases.

      GFS2: Consolidate transaction blocks calculation for dir add · 534cf9ca
      Steven Whitehouse authored
      There are three cases where we need to calculate the number of
      blocks to reserve in a transaction involving linking an inode
      into a directory. The one in rename is a bit more complicated,
      but the basis of it is the same as for link and create. So it
      makes sense to move this calculation into a single function
      rather than repeating it three times.

      GFS2: Add directory addition info structure · 3c1c0ae1
      Steven Whitehouse authored
      The intent is that this structure will hold the information
      required when adding entries to a directory (linking). To
      start with, it will contain only the number of blocks which
      are required to link the new entry into the directory. The
      current calculation returns either 0 or the maximim number of
      blocks that can ever be requested by such a transaction.
      
      The intent is that in a later patch, we can update the dir
      code to calculate this value more accurately. In addition
      further patches will also add further fields to the new
      structure to increase its utility.
      
      In addition this patch fixes a bug where the link used during
      inode creation was adding requesting too many blocks in
      some cases. This is harmless unless the fs is close to being
      full.

      GFS2: Use only a single address space for rgrps · 70d4ee94
      Steven Whitehouse authored
      Prior to this patch, GFS2 had one address space for each rgrp,
      stored in the glock. This patch changes them to use a single
      address space in the super block. This therefore saves
      (sizeof(struct address_space) * nr_of_rgrps) bytes of memory
      and for large filesystems, that can be significant.
      
      It would be nice to be able to do something similar and merge
      the inode metadata address space into the same global
      address space. However, that is rather more complicated as the
      on-disk location doesn't have a 1:1 mapping with the inodes in
      general. So while it could be done, it will be a more complicated
      operation as it requires changing a lot more code paths.

      GFS2: Use range based functions for rgrp sync/invalidation · 7005c3e4
      Steven Whitehouse authored
      Each rgrp header is represented as a single extent on disk, so we
      can calculate the position within the address space, since we are
      using address spaces mapped 1:1 to the disk. This means that it
      is possible to use the range based versions of filemap_fdatawrite/wait
      and for invalidating the page cache.
      
      Our eventual intent is to then be able to merge the address spaces
      used for rgrps into a single address space, rather than to have
      one for each glock, saving memory and reducing complexity.
      
      Since during umount, the rgrp structures are disposed of before
      the glocks, we need to store the extent information in the glock
      so that is is available for a final invalidation. This patch uses
      a field which is otherwise unused in rgrp glocks to do that, so
      that we do not have to expand the size of a glock.

      GFS2: Clean up releasepage · e4f29206
      Steven Whitehouse authored
      For historical reasons, we drop and retake the log lock in ->releasepage()
      however, since there is no reason why we cannot hold the log lock over
      the whole function, this allows some simplification. In particular,
      pinning a buffer is only ever done under the log lock, so it is possible
      here to remove the test for pinned buffers in the second loop, since it
      is impossible for that to happen (it is also tested in the first loop).
      
      As a result, two tests made later in the second loop become constants
      and can also be reduced to the only possible branch. So the net result
      is to remove various bits of unreachable code and make this more
      readable.

      GFS2: Drop inadequate rgrps from the reservation tree · 1330edbe
      Bob Peterson authored
      This is just basically a resend of a patch I posted earlier.
      It didn't change from its original, except in diff offsets, etc:
      
      This patch fixes a bug in the GFS2 block allocation code. The problem
      starts if a process already has a multi-block reservation, but for
      some reason, another process disqualifies it from further allocations.
      For example, the other process might set on the GFS2_RDF_ERROR bit.
      The process holding the reservation jumps to label skip_rgrp, but
      that label comes after the code that removes the reservation from the
      tree. Therefore, the no longer usable reservation is not removed from
      the rgrp's reservations tree; it's lost. Eventually, the lost reservation
      causes the count of reserved blocks to get off, and eventually that
      causes a BUG_ON(rs->rs_rbm.rgd->rd_reserved < rs->rs_free) to trigger.
      This patch moves the call to after label skip_rgrp so that the
      disqualified reservation is properly removed from the tree, thus keeping
      the rgrp rd_reserved count sane.

      GFS2: If requested is too large, use the largest extent in the rgrp · 5ce13431
      Bob Peterson authored
      Here is a second try at a patch I posted earlier, which also implements
      suggestions Steve made:
      
      Before this patch, GFS2 would keep searching through all the rgrps
      until it found one that had a chunk of free blocks big enough to
      satisfy the size hint, which is based on the file write size,
      regardless of whether the chunk was big enough to perform the write.
      However, when doing big writes there may not be a large enough
      chunk of free blocks in any rgrp, due to file system fragmentation.
      The largest chunk may be big enough to satisfy the write request,
      but it may not meet the ideal reservation size from the "size hint".
      The writes would slow to a crawl because every write would search
      every rgrp, then finally give up and default to a single-block write.
      In my case, performance would drop from 425MB/s to 18KB/s, or 24000
      times slower.
      
      This patch basically makes it so that if we can't find a contiguous
      chunk of blocks big enough to satisfy the sizehint, we'll use the
      largest chunk of blocks we found that will still contain the write.
      It does so by keeping track of the largest run of blocks within the
      rgrp.

      epoll: do not take the nested ep->mtx on EPOLL_CTL_DEL · 4ff36ee9
      Jason Baron authored
      The EPOLL_CTL_DEL path of epoll contains a classic, ab-ba deadlock.
      That is, epoll_ctl(a, EPOLL_CTL_DEL, b, x), will deadlock with
      epoll_ctl(b, EPOLL_CTL_DEL, a, x).  The deadlock was introduced with
      commmit 67347fe4 ("epoll: do not take global 'epmutex' for simple
      topologies").
      
      The acquistion of the ep->mtx for the destination 'ep' was added such
      that a concurrent EPOLL_CTL_ADD operation would see the correct state of
      the ep (Specifically, the check for '!list_empty(&f.file->f_ep_links')
      
      However, by simply not acquiring the lock, we do not serialize behind
      the ep->mtx from the add path, and thus may perform a full path check
      when if we had waited a little longer it may not have been necessary.
      However, this is a transient state, and performing the full loop
      checking in this case is not harmful.
      
      The important point is that we wouldn't miss doing the full loop
      checking when required, since EPOLL_CTL_ADD always locks any 'ep's that
      its operating upon.  The reason we don't need to do lock ordering in the
      add path, is that we are already are holding the global 'epmutex'
      whenever we do the double lock.  Further, the original posting of this
      patch, which was tested for the intended performance gains, did not
      perform this additional locking.

      The reasoning of this problem is shown below:
       - when we have a memory error on a thp tail page, the memory error
         handler grabs a refcount of the head page to keep the thp under us.
       - Before unmapping the error page from processes, we split the thp,
         where page refcounts of both of head/tail pages don't change.
       - Then we call try_to_unmap() over the error page (which was a tail
         page before). We didn't pin the error page to handle the memory error,
         this error page is freed and removed from LRU list.
       - We never have the error page on LRU list, so the first page state
         check returns "unknown page," then we move to the second check
         with the saved page flag.
       - The saved page flag have PG_tail set, so the second page state check
         returns "hugepage."
       - We call me_huge_page() for freed error page, then we hit the above panic.
      
      The root cause is that we didn't move refcount from the head page to the
      tail page after split thp.  So this patch suggests to do this.
      
      This panic was introduced by commit 524fca1e ("HWPOISON: fix
      misjudgement of page_action() for errors on mlocked pages").  Note that we
      did have the same refcount problem before this commit, but it was just
      ignored because we had only first page state check which returned "unknown
      page." The commit changed the refcount problem from "doesn't work" to
      "kernel panic."

      is bogus.  I was thinking of parallel races between NUMA hinting faults
      and forks but this warning would also be triggered by a parallel reclaim
      splitting a THP during a fork.  Remote the bogus warning.

      mm: fix use-after-free in sys_remap_file_pages · 4eb91982
      Rik van Riel authored
      remap_file_pages calls mmap_region, which may merge the VMA with other
      existing VMAs, and free "vma".  This can lead to a use-after-free bug.
      Avoid the bug by remembering vm_flags before calling mmap_region, and
      not trying to dereference vma later.

      mm: munlock: fix deadlock in __munlock_pagevec() · 3b25df93
      Vlastimil Babka authored
      Commit 7225522b ("mm: munlock: batch non-THP page isolation and
      munlock+putback using pagevec" introduced __munlock_pagevec() to speed
      up munlock by holding lru_lock over multiple isolated pages.  Pages that
      fail to be isolated are put_page()d immediately, also within the lock.
      
      This can lead to deadlock when __munlock_pagevec() becomes the holder of
      the last page pin and put_page() leads to __page_cache_release() which
      also locks lru_lock.  The deadlock has been observed by Sasha Levin
      using trinity.
      
      This patch avoids the deadlock by deferring put_page() operations until
      lru_lock is released.  Another pagevec (which is also used by later
      phases of the function is reused to gather the pages for put_page()
      operation.

      mm: munlock: fix a bug where THP tail page is encountered · c424be1c
      Vlastimil Babka authored
      Since commit ff6a6da6 ("mm: accelerate munlock() treatment of THP
      pages") munlock skips tail pages of a munlocked THP page.  However, when
      the head page already has PageMlocked unset, it will not skip the tail
      pages.
      
      Commit 7225522b ("mm: munlock: batch non-THP page isolation and
      munlock+putback using pagevec") has added a PageTransHuge() check which
      contains VM_BUG_ON(PageTail(page)).  Sasha Levin found this triggered
      using trinity, on the first tail page of a THP page without PageMlocked
      flag.
      
      This patch fixes the issue by skipping tail pages also in the case when
      PageMlocked flag is unset.  There is still a possibility of race with
      THP page split between clearing PageMlocked and determining how many
      pages to skip.  The race might result in former tail pages not being
      skipped, which is however no longer a bug, as during the skip the
      PageTail flags are cleared.
      
      However this race also affects correctness of NR_MLOCK accounting, which
      is to be fixed in a separate patch.

      KVM: nVMX: Unconditionally uninit the MMU on nested vmexit · 29bf08f1
      Jan Kiszka authored
      Three reasons for doing this: 1. arch.walk_mmu points to arch.mmu anyway
      in case nested EPT wasn't in use. 2. this aligns VMX with SVM. But 3. is
      most important: nested_cpu_has_ept(vmcs12) queries the VMCS page, and if
      one guest VCPU manipulates the page of another VCPU in L2, we may be
      fooled to skip over the nested_ept_uninit_mmu_context, leaving mmu in
      nested state. That can crash the host later on if nested_ept_get_cr3 is
      invoked while L1 already left vmxon and nested.current_vmcs12 became
      NULL therefore.
