      qeth: Clarify card type naming for virtual NICs · 7096b187
      Stefan Raspl authored
      So far, virtual NICs whether attached to a VSWITCH or a guest LAN were always
      displayed as guest LANs in the device driver attributes and messages, while
      in fact it is a virtual NIC.

      net: Don't export sysctls to unprivileged users · 464dc801
      Eric W. Biederman authored
      In preparation for supporting the creation of network namespaces
      by unprivileged users, modify all of the per net sysctl exports
      and refuse to allow them to unprivileged users.
      
      This makes it safe for unprivileged users in general to access
      per net sysctls, and allows sysctls to be exported to unprivileged
      users on an individual basis as they are deemed safe.

      sysctl: Pass useful parameters to sysctl permissions · 73f7ef43
      Eric W. Biederman authored
      - Current is implicitly avaiable so passing current->nsproxy isn't useful.
      - The ctl_table_header is needed to find how the sysctl table is connected
        to the rest of sysctl.
      - ctl_table_root is avaiable in the ctl_table_header so no need to it.
      
      With these changes it becomes possible to write a version of
      net_sysctl_permission that takes into account the network namespace of
      the sysctl table, an important feature in extending the user namespace.

      userns: make each net (net_ns) belong to a user_ns · d328b836
      Eric W. Biederman authored
      The user namespace which creates a new network namespace owns that
      namespace and all resources created in it.  This way we can target
      capability checks for privileged operations against network resources to
      the user_ns which created the network namespace in which the resource
      lives.  Privilege to the user namespace which owns the network
      namespace, or any parent user namespace thereof, provides the same
      privilege to the network resource.

      netns: Deduplicate and fix copy_net_ns when !CONFIG_NET_NS · 2407dc25
      Eric W. Biederman authored
      The copy of copy_net_ns used when the network stack is not
      built is broken as it does not return -EINVAL when attempting
      to create a new network namespace.  We don't even have
      a previous network namespace.
      
      Since we need a copy of copy_net_ns in net/net_namespace.h that is
      available when the networking stack is not built at all move the
      correct version of copy_net_ns from net_namespace.c into net_namespace.h
      Leaving us with just 2 versions of copy_net_ns.  One version for when
      we compile in network namespace suport and another stub for all other
      occasions.

      revert "mm: fix-up zone present pages" · 5576646f
      Andrew Morton authored
      Revert commit 7f1290f2 ("mm: fix-up zone present pages")
      
      That patch tried to fix a issue when calculating zone->present_pages,
      but it caused a regression on 32bit systems with HIGHMEM.  With that
      change, reset_zone_present_pages() resets all zone->present_pages to
      zero, and fixup_zone_present_pages() is called to recalculate
      zone->present_pages when the boot allocator frees core memory pages into
      buddy allocator.  Because highmem pages are not freed by bootmem
      allocator, all highmem zones' present_pages becomes zero.
      
      Various options for improving the situation are being discussed but for
      now, let's return to the 3.6 code.

      tmpfs: change final i_blocks BUG to WARNING · 0f3c42f5
      Hugh Dickins authored
      Under a particular load on one machine, I have hit shmem_evict_inode()'s
      BUG_ON(inode->i_blocks), enough times to narrow it down to a particular
      race between swapout and eviction.
      
      It comes from the "if (freed > 0)" asymmetry in shmem_recalc_inode(),
      and the lack of coherent locking between mapping's nrpages and shmem's
      swapped count.  There's a window in shmem_writepage(), between lowering
      nrpages in shmem_delete_from_page_cache() and then raising swapped
      count, when the freed count appears to be +1 when it should be 0, and
      then the asymmetry stops it from being corrected with -1 before hitting
      the BUG.
      
      One answer is coherent locking: using tree_lock throughout, without
      info->lock; reasonable, but the raw_spin_lock in percpu_counter_add() on
      used_blocks makes that messier than expected.  Another answer may be a
      further effort to eliminate the weird shmem_recalc_inode() altogether,
      but previous attempts at that failed.
      
      So far undecided, but for now change the BUG_ON to WARN_ON: in usual
      circumstances it remains a useful consistency check.

      Thanks to Johannes for pointing to truncation: free_swap_and_cache()
      only does a trylock on the page, so the page lock we've held since
      before confirming swap is not enough to protect against truncation.
      
      What cleanup is needed in this case? Just delete_from_swap_cache(),
      which takes care of the memcg uncharge.

      mm: highmem: don't treat PKMAP_ADDR(LAST_PKMAP) as a highmem address · 498c2280
      Will Deacon authored
      kmap_to_page returns the corresponding struct page for a virtual address
      of an arbitrary mapping.  This works by checking whether the address
      falls in the pkmap region and using the pkmap page tables instead of the
      linear mapping if appropriate.
      
      Unfortunately, the bounds checking means that PKMAP_ADDR(LAST_PKMAP) is
      incorrectly treated as a highmem address and we can end up walking off
      the end of pkmap_page_table and subsequently passing junk to pte_page.
      
      This patch fixes the bound check to stay within the pkmap tables.

      mm: revert "mm: vmscan: scale number of pages reclaimed by reclaim/compaction based on failures" · 96710098
      Mel Gorman authored
      Jiri Slaby reported the following:
      
      	(It's an effective revert of "mm: vmscan: scale number of pages
      	reclaimed by reclaim/compaction based on failures".) Given kswapd
      	had hours of runtime in ps/top output yesterday in the morning
      	and after the revert it's now 2 minutes in sum for the last 24h,
      	I would say, it's gone.
      
      The intention of the patch in question was to compensate for the loss of
      lumpy reclaim.  Part of the reason lumpy reclaim worked is because it
      aggressively reclaimed pages and this patch was meant to be a sane
      compromise.
      
      When compaction fails, it gets deferred and both compaction and
      reclaim/compaction is deferred avoid excessive reclaim.  However, since
      commit c6543459 ("mm: remove __GFP_NO_KSWAPD"), kswapd is woken up
      each time and continues reclaiming which was not taken into account when
      the patch was developed.
      
      Attempts to address the problem ended up just changing the shape of the
      problem instead of fixing it.  The release window gets closer and while
      a THP allocation failing is not a major problem, kswapd chewing up a lot
      of CPU is.
      
      This patch reverts commit 83fde0f2 ("mm: vmscan: scale number of
      pages reclaimed by reclaim/compaction based on failures") and will be
      revisited in the future.
