      mm: thp: give transparent hugepage code a separate copy_page · 30b0a105
      Dave Hansen authored
      Right now, the migration code in migrate_page_copy() uses copy_huge_page()
      for hugetlbfs and thp pages:
      
             if (PageHuge(page) || PageTransHuge(page))
                      copy_huge_page(newpage, page);
      
      So, yay for code reuse.  But:
      
        void copy_huge_page(struct page *dst, struct page *src)
        {
              struct hstate *h = page_hstate(src);
      
      and a non-hugetlbfs page has no page_hstate().  This works 99% of the
      time because page_hstate() determines the hstate from the page order
      alone.  Since the page order of a THP page matches the default hugetlbfs
      page order, it works.
      
      But, if you change the default huge page size on the boot command-line
      (say default_hugepagesz=1G), then we might not even *have* a 2MB hstate
      so page_hstate() returns null and copy_huge_page() oopses pretty fast
      since copy_huge_page() dereferences the hstate:
      
        void copy_huge_page(struct page *dst, struct page *src)
        {
              struct hstate *h = page_hstate(src);
              if (unlikely(pages_per_huge_page(h) > MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES)) {
        ...
      
      Mel noticed that the migration code is really the only user of these
      functions.  This moves all the copy code over to migrate.c and makes
      copy_huge_page() work for THP by checking for it explicitly.
      
      I believe the bug was introduced in commit b32967ff ("mm: numa: Add
      THP migration for the NUMA working set scanning fault case")

      configfs: fix race between dentry put and lookup · 76ae281f
      Junxiao Bi authored
      A race window in configfs, it starts from one dentry is UNHASHED and end
      before configfs_d_iput is called.  In this window, if a lookup happen,
      since the original dentry was UNHASHED, so a new dentry will be
      allocated, and then in configfs_attach_attr(), sd->s_dentry will be
      updated to the new dentry.  Then in configfs_d_iput(),
      BUG_ON(sd->s_dentry != dentry) will be triggered and system panic.
      
      sys_open:                     sys_close:
       ...                           fput
                                      dput
                                       dentry_kill
                                        __d_drop <--- dentry unhashed here,
                                                 but sd->dentry still point
                                                 to this dentry.
      
       lookup_real
        configfs_lookup
         configfs_attach_attr---> update sd->s_dentry
                                  to new allocated dentry here.
      
                                         d_kill
                                           configfs_d_iput <--- BUG_ON(sd->s_dentry != dentry)
                                                           triggered here.
      
      To fix it, change configfs_d_iput to not update sd->s_dentry if
      sd->s_count > 2, that means there are another dentry is using the sd
      beside the one that is going to be put.  Use configfs_dirent_lock in
      configfs_attach_attr to sync with configfs_d_iput.
      
      With the following steps, you can reproduce the bug.
      
      1. enable ocfs2, this will mount configfs at /sys/kernel/config and
         fill configure in it.
      
      2. run the following script.
      	while [ 1 ]; do cat /sys/kernel/config/cluster/$your_cluster_name/idle_timeout_ms > /dev/null; done &
      	while [ 1 ]; do cat /sys/kernel/config/cluster/$your_cluster_name/idle_timeout_ms > /dev/null; done &

       "With my previous pull request I mentioned some remaining Little Endian
        patches, notably support for our new ABI, which I was sitting on
        making sure it was all finalized.
      
        The toolchain folks confirmed it now, the new ABI is stable and merged
        with gcc, so we are all good.  Oh and we actually missed the actual
        Kconfig switch for LE so here it is, along with a couple more bug
        fixes.
      
        I have more fixes but not related to LE so I'll send them as a
        separate pull request tomorrow, let's get this one out of the way.
      
        Note that this supports running user space binaries using the new ABI,
        but the kernel itself still needs to be built with the old one.  We'll
        bring fixes for that after -rc1.
      
        Here's Anton log that goes with this series:
      
           This patch series adds support for the new ABI, LPAR support for
           H_SET_MODE and finally adds a kconfig option and defconfig.
      
           ABIv2 support was recently committed to binutils and gcc, and should
           be merged into glibc soon.  There are a number of very nice
           improvements including the removal of function descriptors.  Rusty's
           kernel patches allow binaries of either ABI to work, easing the
           transition"

      Revert "mm: create a separate slab for page->ptl allocation" · 8b2e9b71
      Linus Torvalds authored
      This reverts commit ea1e7ed3.
      
      Al points out that while the commit *does* actually create a separate
      slab for the page->ptl allocation, that slab is never actually used, and
      the code continues to use kmalloc/kfree.
      
      Damien Wyart points out that the original patch did have the conversion
      to use kmem_cache_alloc/free, so it got lost somewhere on its way to me.
      
      Revert the half-arsed attempt that didn't do anything.  If we really do
      want the special slab (remember: this is all relevant just for debug
      builds, so it's not necessarily all that critical) we might as well redo
      the patch fully.

      powerpc: Wrong DWARF CFI in the kernel vdso for little-endian / ELFv2 · 28027082
      Ulrich Weigand authored
      I've finally tracked down why my CR signal-unwind test case still
      fails on little-endian.  The problem turned to be that the kernel
      installs a signal trampoline in the vDSO, and provides a DWARF CFI
      record for that trampoline.  This CFI describes the save location
      for CR:
      
        rsave (70, 38*RSIZE + (RSIZE - CRSIZE))
      
      which is correct for big-endian, but points to the wrong word on
      little-endian.   This is wrong no matter which ABI.
      
      In addition, for the ELFv2 ABI, we should not only provide a CFI
      record for register 70 (cr2), but for all CR fields separately.
      Strictly speaking, I guess this would mean providing two separate
      vDSO images, one for ELFv1 processes and one for ELFv2 processes (or
      maybe playing some tricks with conditional DWARF expressions).
      However, having CFI records for the other CR fields in ELFv1 is not
      actually wrong, they just will be ignored.   So it seems the simplest
      fix would be just to always provide CFI for all the fields.

      powerpc: Add TIF_ELF2ABI flag. · 373c76d6
      Rusty Russell authored
      Little endian ppc64 is getting an exciting new ABI.  This is reflected
      by the bottom two bits of e_flags in the ELF header:
      
      	0 == legacy binaries (v1 ABI)
      	1 == binaries using the old ABI (compiled with a new toolchain)
      	2 == binaries using the new ABI.
      
      We store this in a thread flag, because we need to set it in core
      dumps and for signal delivery.  Our chief concern is that it doesn't
      use function descriptors.

      avr32: fix out-of-range jump in large kernels · d617b338
      Andreas Bießmann authored
      This patch fixes following error (for big kernels):
      
      ---8<---
      arch/avr32/boot/u-boot/head.o: In function `no_tag_table':
      (.init.text+0x44): relocation truncated to fit: R_AVR32_22H_PCREL against symbol `panic' defined in .text.unlikely section in kernel/built-in.o

      (.ex.text+0x236): relocation truncated to fit: R_AVR32_22H_PCREL against symbol `panic' defined in .text.unlikely section in kernel/built-in.o
      --->8---
      
      It comes up when the kernel increases and 'panic()' is too far away to fit in
      the +/- 2MiB range. Which in turn issues from the 21-bit displacement in
      'br{cond4}' mnemonic which is one of the two ways to do jumps (rjmp has just
      10-bit displacement and therefore a way smaller range). This fact was stated
      before in 8d29b7b9.
      One solution to solve this is to add a local storage for the symbol address
      and just load the $pc with that value.

      Squashfs: Directly decompress into the page cache for file data · 0d455c12
      Phillip Lougher authored
      This introduces an implementation of squashfs_readpage_block()
      that directly decompresses into the page cache.
      
      This uses the previously added page handler abstraction to push
      down the necessary kmap_atomic/kunmap_atomic operations on the
      page cache buffers into the decompressors.  This enables
      direct copying into the page cache without using the slow
      kmap/kunmap calls.
      
      The code detects when multiple threads are racing in
      squashfs_readpage() to decompress the same block, and avoids
      this regression by falling back to using an intermediate
      buffer.
      
      This patch enhances the performance of Squashfs significantly
      when multiple processes are accessing the filesystem simultaneously
      because it not only reduces memcopying, but it more importantly
      eliminates the lock contention on the intermediate buffer.

      Squashfs: Generalise paging handling in the decompressors · 846b730e
      Phillip Lougher authored
      Further generalise the decompressors by adding a page handler
      abstraction.  This adds helpers to allow the decompressors
      to access and process the output buffers in an implementation
      independant manner.
      
      This allows different types of output buffer to be passed
      to the decompressors, with the implementation specific
      aspects handled at decompression time, but without the
      knowledge being held in the decompressor wrapper code.
      
      This will allow the decompressors to handle Squashfs
      cache buffers, and page cache pages.
      
      This patch adds the abstraction and an implementation for
      the caches.

      Squashfs: Refactor decompressor interface and code · 9508c6b9
      Phillip Lougher authored
      The decompressor interface and code was written from
      the point of view of single-threaded operation.  In doing
      so it mixed a lot of single-threaded implementation specific
      aspects into the decompressor code and elsewhere which makes it
      difficult to seamlessly support multiple different decompressor
      implementations.
      
      This patch does the following:
      
      1.  It removes compressor_options parsing from the decompressor
          init() function.  This allows the decompressor init() function
          to be dynamically called to instantiate multiple decompressors,
          without the compressor options needing to be read and parsed each
          time.
      
      2.  It moves threading and all sleeping operations out of the
          decompressors.  In doing so, it makes the decompressors
          non-blocking wrappers which only deal with interfacing with
          the decompressor implementation.
      
      3. It splits decompressor.[ch] into decompressor generic functions
         in decompressor.[ch], and moves the single threaded
         decompressor implementation into decompressor_single.c.
      
      The result of this patch is Squashfs should now be able to
      support multiple decompressors by adding new decompressor_xxx.c
      files with specialised implementations of the functions in
      decompressor_single.c

      It appears that driver runs into a problem here if fibsize is too small

      access it until user_srbcmd->sg.count to copy it over to srbcmd.
      
      It is not correct to test (fibsize < sizeof(*user_srbcmd)) because this
      structure already includes one sg element and this is not needed for
      commands without data.  So, we would recommend to add the following
      (instead of test for fibsize == 0).

       "Mostly these are fixes for fallout due to merge window changes, as
        well as cures for problems that have been with us for a much longer
        period of time"
      
       1) Johannes Berg noticed two major deficiencies in our genetlink
          registration.  Some genetlink protocols we passing in constant
          counts for their ops array rather than something like
          ARRAY_SIZE(ops) or similar.  Also, some genetlink protocols were
          using fixed IDs for their multicast groups.
      
          We have to retain these fixed IDs to keep existing userland tools
          working, but reserve them so that other multicast groups used by
          other protocols can not possibly conflict.
      
          In dealing with these two problems, we actually now use less state
          management for genetlink operations and multicast groups.
      
       2) When configuring interface hardware timestamping, fix several
          drivers that simply do not validate that the hwtstamp_config value
          is one the driver actually supports.  From Ben Hutchings.
      
       3) Invalid memory references in mwifiex driver, from Amitkumar Karwar.
      
       4) In dev_forward_skb(), set the skb->protocol in the right order
          relative to skb_scrub_packet().  From Alexei Starovoitov.
      
       5) Bridge erroneously fails to use the proper wrapper functions to make
          calls to netdev_ops->ndo_vlan_rx_{add,kill}_vid.  Fix from Toshiaki
          Makita.
      
       6) When detaching a bridge port, make sure to flush all VLAN IDs to
          prevent them from leaking, also from Toshiaki Makita.
      
       7) Put in a compromise for TCP Small Queues so that deep queued devices
          that delay TX reclaim non-trivially don't have such a performance
          decrease.  One particularly problematic area is 802.11 AMPDU in
          wireless.  From Eric Dumazet.
      
       8) Fix crashes in tcp_fastopen_cache_get(), we can see NULL socket dsts
          here.  Fix from Eric Dumzaet, reported by Dave Jones.
      
       9) Fix use after free in ipv6 SIT driver, from Willem de Bruijn.
      
      10) When computing mergeable buffer sizes, virtio-net fails to take the
          virtio-net header into account.  From Michael Dalton.
      
      11) Fix seqlock deadlock in ip4_datagram_connect() wrt.  statistic
          bumping, this one has been with us for a while.  From Eric Dumazet.
      
      12) Fix NULL deref in the new TIPC fragmentation handling, from Erik
          Hugne.
      
      13) 6lowpan bit used for traffic classification was wrong, from Jukka
          Rissanen.
      
      14) macvlan has the same issue as normal vlans did wrt.  propagating LRO
          disabling down to the real device, fix it the same way.  From Michal
          Kubecek.
      
      15) CPSW driver needs to soft reset all slaves during suspend, from
          Daniel Mack.
      
      16) Fix small frame pacing in FQ packet scheduler, from Eric Dumazet.
      
      17) The xen-netfront RX buffer refill timer isn't properly scheduled on
          partial RX allocation success, from Ma JieYue.
      
      18) When ipv6 ping protocol support was added, the AF_INET6 protocol
          initialization cleanup path on failure was borked a little.  Fix
          from Vlad Yasevich.
      
      19) If a socket disconnects during a read/recvmsg/recvfrom/etc that
          blocks we can do the wrong thing with the msg_name we write back to
          userspace.  From Hannes Frederic Sowa.  There is another fix in the
          works from Hannes which will prevent future problems of this nature.
      
      20) Fix route leak in VTI tunnel transmit, from Fan Du.
