Fix potential use of uninitialised variable caused by recent decompressor code optimisations. In zlib_uncompress (zlib_wrapper.c) we have int zlib_err, zlib_init = 0; ... do { ... if (avail == 0) { offset = 0; put_bh(bh[k++]); continue; } ... zlib_err = zlib_inflate(stream, Z_SYNC_FLUSH); ... } while (zlib_err == Z_OK); If continue is executed (avail == 0) then the while condition will be evaluated testing zlib_err, which is uninitialised first time around the loop. Fix this by getting rid of the 'if (avail == 0)' condition test, this edge condition should not be being handled in the decompressor code, and instead handle it generically in the caller code. Similarly for xz_wrapper.c. Incidentally, on most architectures (bar Mips and Parisc), no uninitialised variable warning is generated by gcc, this is because the while condition test on continue is optimised out and not performed (when executing continue zlib_err has not been changed since entering the loop, and logically if the while condition was true previously, then it's still true).

Therefore the following "while" repeats forever because the above conditions cause "ret" not to be updated and the cur_index cannot be changed into the bigger one. (So, radix_tree_gang_lookup_tag_slot() cannot return forever.) radix_tree_gang_lookup_tag_slot(): 1178 while (ret < max_items) { 1179 unsigned int slots_found; 1180 unsigned long next_index; /* Index of next search */ 1181 1182 if (cur_index > max_index) 1183 break; 1184 slots_found = __lookup_tag(node, results + ret, 1185 cur_index, max_items - ret, &next_index, tag); 1186 ret += slots_found; // cannot update ret because slots_found == 0. // so, this while loops forever. 1187 if (next_index == 0) 1188 break; 1189 cur_index = next_index; 1190 } (2) Why does __lookup_tag() return with 0 and doesn't update the index? Assuming the following: - the one of the slot in radix_tree_node is NULL. - the one of the tag which corresponds to the slot sets with PAGECACHE_TAG_TOWRITE or other. - In a certain height(!=0), the corresponding index is 0. a) __lookup_tag() notices that the tag is set. 1005 static unsigned int 1006 __lookup_tag(struct radix_tree_node *slot, void ***results, unsigned long index, 1007 unsigned int max_items, unsigned long *next_index, unsigned int tag) 1008 { 1009 unsigned int nr_found = 0; 1010 unsigned int shift, height; 1011 1012 height = slot->height; 1013 if (height == 0) 1014 goto out; 1015 shift = (height-1) * RADIX_TREE_MAP_SHIFT; 1016 1017 while (height > 0) { 1018 unsigned long i = (index >> shift) & RADIX_TREE_MAP_MASK ; 1019 1020 for (;;) { 1021 if (tag_get(slot, tag, i)) 1022 break; ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ * the index is not updated yet. b) __lookup_tag() notices that the slot is NULL. 1023 index &= ~((1UL << shift) - 1); 1024 index += 1UL << shift; 1025 if (index == 0) 1026 goto out; /* 32-bit wraparound */ 1027 i++; 1028 if (i == RADIX_TREE_MAP_SIZE) 1029 goto out; 1030 } 1031 height--; 1032 if (height == 0) { /* Bottom level: grab some items */ ... 1055 } 1056 shift -= RADIX_TREE_MAP_SHIFT; 1057 slot = rcu_dereference_raw(slot->slots[i]); 1058 if (slot == NULL) 1059 break; ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ c) __lookup_tag() doesn't update the index and return with 0. 1060 } 1061 out: 1062 *next_index = index; ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 1063 return nr_found; 1064 } (3) Why is the slot NULL even if the tag is set? Because radix_tree_range_tag_if_tagged() always sets the root tag with PAGECACHE_TAG_TOWRITE if the root tag is set with PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY, even if there is no tag which can be set with PAGECACHE_TAG_TOWRITE in the specified range (from *first_indexp to last_index). Of course, some PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY nodes must exist outside the specified range. (radix_tree_range_tag_if_tagged() is called only from tag_pages_for_writeback()) 640 unsigned long radix_tree_range_tag_if_tagged(struct radix_tree_root *root, 641 unsigned long *first_indexp, unsigned long last_index, 642 unsigned long nr_to_tag, 643 unsigned int iftag, unsigned int settag) 644 { 645 unsigned int height = root->height; 646 struct radix_tree_path path[height]; 647 struct radix_tree_path *pathp = path; 648 struct radix_tree_node *slot; 649 unsigned int shift; 650 unsigned long tagged = 0; 651 unsigned long index = *first_indexp; 652 653 last_index = min(last_index, radix_tree_maxindex(height)); 654 if (index > last_index) 655 return 0; 656 if (!nr_to_tag) 657 return 0; 658 if (!root_tag_get(root, iftag)) { 659 *first_indexp = last_index + 1; 660 return 0; 661 } 662 if (height == 0) { 663 *first_indexp = last_index + 1; 664 root_tag_set(root, settag); 665 return 1; 666 } ... 733 root_tag_set(root, settag); ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 734 *first_indexp = index; 735 736 return tagged; 737 } As the result, there is no radix_tree_node which is set with PAGECACHE_TAG_TOWRITE but the root tag(radix_tree_root) is set with PAGECACHE_TAG_TOWRITE.

A fix up mem_cgroup_move_parent() which use compound_order() in asynchronous manner. This compound_order() may return unknown value because we don't take lock. Use PageTransHuge() and HPAGE_SIZE instead of it. Also clean up for mem_cgroup_move_parent(). - remove unnecessary initialization of local variable. - rename charge_size -> page_size - remove unnecessary (wrong) comment. - added a comment about THP. Note: Current design take compound_page_lock() in caller of move_account(). This should be revisited when we implement direct move_task of hugepage without splitting.

Commit 5d689240 ("thp: select CONFIG_COMPACTION if TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE enabled") causes this warning during the configuration process: warning: (TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE) selects COMPACTION which has unmet direct dependencies (EXPERIMENTAL && HUGETLB_PAGE && MMU) COMPACTION doesn't depend on HUGETLB_PAGE, it doesn't depend on THP either, it is also useful for regular alloc_pages(order > 0) including the very kernel stack during fork (THREAD_ORDER = 1). It's always better to enable COMPACTION. The warning should be an error because we would end up with MIGRATION not selected, and COMPACTION wouldn't work without migration (despite it seems to build with an inline migrate_pages returning -ENOSYS). I'd also like to remove EXPERIMENTAL: compaction has been in the kernel for some releases (for full safety the default remains disabled which I think is enough).

In mm/memcontrol.c::mem_cgroup_move_parent() there's a path that jumps to the 'put_back' label ret = __mem_cgroup_try_charge(NULL, gfp_mask, &parent, false, charge); if (ret || !parent) goto put_back; where we'll if (charge > PAGE_SIZE) compound_unlock_irqrestore(page, flags); but, we have not assigned anything to 'flags' at this point, nor have we called 'compound_lock_irqsave()' (which is what sets 'flags'). The 'put_back' label should be moved below the call to compound_unlock_irqrestore() as per this patch.

Commit 0e093d99 ("writeback: do not sleep on the congestion queue if there are no congested BDIs or if significant congestion is not being encountered in the current zone") uncovered a livelock in the page allocator that resulted in tasks infinitely looping trying to find memory and kswapd running at 100% cpu. The issue occurs because drain_all_pages() is called immediately following direct reclaim when no memory is freed and try_to_free_pages() returns non-zero because all zones in the zonelist do not have their all_unreclaimable flag set. When draining the per-cpu pagesets back to the buddy allocator for each zone, the zone->pages_scanned counter is cleared to avoid erroneously setting zone->all_unreclaimable later. The problem is that no pages may actually be drained and, thus, the unreclaimable logic never fails direct reclaim so the oom killer may be invoked. This apparently only manifested after wait_iff_congested() was introduced and the zone was full of anonymous memory that would not congest the backing store. The page allocator would infinitely loop if there were no other tasks waiting to be scheduled and clear zone->pages_scanned because of drain_all_pages() as the result of this change before kswapd could scan enough pages to trigger the reclaim logic. Additionally, with every loop of the page allocator and in the reclaim path, kswapd would be kicked and would end up running at 100% cpu. In this scenario, current and kswapd are all running continuously with kswapd incrementing zone->pages_scanned and current clearing it. The problem is even more pronounced when current swaps some of its memory to swap cache and the reclaimable logic then considers all active anonymous memory in the all_unreclaimable logic, which requires a much higher zone->pages_scanned value for try_to_free_pages() to return zero that is never attainable in this scenario. Before wait_iff_congested(), the page allocator would incur an unconditional timeout and allow kswapd to elevate zone->pages_scanned to a level that the oom killer would be called the next time it loops. The fix is to only attempt to drain pcp pages if there is actually a quantity to be drained. The unconditional clearing of zone->pages_scanned in free_pcppages_bulk() need not be changed since other callers already ensure that draining will occur. This patch ensures that free_pcppages_bulk() will actually free memory before calling into it from drain_all_pages() so zone->pages_scanned is only cleared if appropriate.

Before 0e093d99 ("writeback: do not sleep on the congestion queue if there are no congested BDIs or if significant congestion is not being encountered in the current zone"), preferred_zone was only used for NUMA statistics, to determine the zoneidx from which to allocate from given the type requested, and whether to utilize memory compaction. wait_iff_congested(), though, uses preferred_zone to determine if the congestion wait should be deferred because its dirty pages are backed by a congested bdi. This incorrectly defers the timeout and busy loops in the page allocator with various cond_resched() calls if preferred_zone is not allowed in the current context, usually consuming 100% of a cpu. This patch ensures preferred_zone is an allowed zone in the fastpath depending on whether current is constrained by its cpuset or nodes in its mempolicy (when the nodemask passed is non-NULL). This is correct since the fastpath allocation always passes ALLOC_CPUSET when trying to allocate memory. In the slowpath, this patch resets preferred_zone to the first zone of the allowed type when the allocation is not constrained by current's cpuset, i.e. it does not pass ALLOC_CPUSET. This patch also ensures preferred_zone is from the set of allowed nodes when called from within direct reclaim since allocations are always constrained by cpusets in this context (it is blockable). Both of these uses of cpuset_current_mems_allowed are protected by get_mems_allowed().

parport_unregister_device() should never be used when interrupts are enabled in hardware and irq handler is registered so there is no need to disable interrupts when using waitlist_lock. But there is no way to explain this subtle semantics to lockdep analyzer. So disable interrupts here too to simplify things. The price is negligible.

mips (and sparc32): In file included from arch/mips/include/asm/tlb.h:21, from mm/pgtable-generic.c:9: include/asm-generic/tlb.h: In function `tlb_flush_mmu': include/asm-generic/tlb.h:76: error: implicit declaration of function `release_pages' include/asm-generic/tlb.h: In function `tlb_remove_page': include/asm-generic/tlb.h:105: error: implicit declaration of function `page_cache_release' free_pages_and_swap_cache() and free_page_and_swap_cache() are macros which call release_pages() and page_cache_release(). The obvious fix is to include pagemap.h in swap.h, where those macros are defined. But that breaks sparc for weird reasons. So fix it within mm/pgtable-generic.c instead.

This fixes TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE=y with PARAVIRT=y and HIGHMEM64=n. The #ifdef that this patch removes was erratically introduced to fix a build error for noPAE (where pmd.pmd doesn't exist). So then the kernel built but it failed at runtime because set_pmd_at was a noop. This will correct it by enabling set_pmd_at for noPAE mode too.

Fix __key_link_end()'s attempt to fix up the quota if an error occurs. There are two erroneous cases: Firstly, we always decrease the quota if the preallocated replacement keyring needs cleaning up, irrespective of whether or not we should (we may have replaced a pointer rather than adding another pointer). Secondly, we never clean up the quota if we added a pointer without the keyring storage being extended (we allocate multiple pointers at a time, even if we're not going to use them all immediately). We handle this by setting the bottom bit of the preallocation pointer in __key_link_begin() to indicate that the quota needs fixing up, which is then passed to __key_link() (which clears the whole thing) and __key_link_end().

Relying on the access time of peripherals is unreliable - it depends on the speed of the CPU and the bus. On Versatile Express, these timeouts were expiring, causing the driver to fail. Add udelay(1) to ensure that they don't expire early, and adjust timeouts to give a reasonable margin over the response times. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

The EP93xx C and D GPIO ports are multiplexed with the Keypad Interface peripheral. At power-up they default into non-GPIO mode with the Key Matrix controller enabled so these ports are unusable for GPIO. Note that the Keypad Interface peripheral is only available in the EP9307, EP9312, and EP9315 processor variants. The keypad support will clear the DeviceConfig bits appropriately to enable the Keypad Interface when the driver is loaded. And, when the driver is unloaded it will set the bits to return the ports to GPIO mode. To make these ports available for GPIO after power-up on all EP93xx processor variants, set the KEYS and GONK bits in the DeviceConfig register. Similarly, the E, G, and H ports are multiplexed with the IDE Interface peripheral. At power-up these also default into non-GPIO mode. Note that the IDE peripheral is only available in the EP9312 and EP9315 processor variants. Since an IDE driver is not even available in mainline, set the EONIDE, GONIDE, and HONIDE bits in the DeviceConfig register so that these ports will be available for GPIO use after power-up.

Timers on Versatile Express mainboard are used as system clock/event sources. Driver assumes that they are clocked with 1MHz signal. Old V2M firmware apparently configured it by default, but on newer boards one can observe that "sleep 1" command takes over 30 seconds to finish, as the timers are fed with 32kHz instead... This patch performs required magic and also removes code clearing timer's control registers, as exactly the same operations are performed by the timer driver few jiffies later.

As no one seems to really know which configuration options tie up with which boards, I thought I'd do some investigation and try to work it out. After discussion with some folk in linaro, I think I have this nailed. The names are updated to use the name on the front of the appropriate board user guide for the various baseboards, which I've taken to be the official name for each board. I haven't significantly updated the descriptions for the tiles as that is even less clear - as far as I can see on ARMs website, there is no Cortex-A9 tile for Realview EB - only ARM11MPCore, ARM1156T2F-S, ARM1176TZF-S and Cortex-R4F. So exactly what this 'Multicore Cortex-A9 Tile' is... Acked-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
