Since commit 36bc08cc ("fs/aio: Add support to aio ring pages migration") the aio ring setup code has used a special per-ring backing inode for the page allocations, rather than just using random anonymous pages. However, rather than remembering the pages as it allocated them, it would allocate the pages, insert them into the file mapping (dirty, so that they couldn't be free'd), and then forget about them. And then to look them up again, it would mmap the mapping, and then use "get_user_pages()" to get back an array of the pages we just created. Now, not only is that incredibly inefficient, it also leaked all the pages if the mmap failed (which could happen due to excessive number of mappings, for example). So clean it all up, making it much more straightforward. Also remove some left-overs of the previous (broken) mm_populate() usage that was removed in commit d6c355c7 ("aio: fix race in ring buffer page lookup introduced by page migration support") but left the pointless and now misleading MAP_POPULATE flag around.

Commit 1bf49dd4 ("./Makefile: export initial ramdisk compression config option") started setting the INITRD_COMPRESS environment variable depending on which decompression models the kernel had available. That is completely broken. For example, we by default have CONFIG_RD_LZ4 enabled, and are able to decompress such an initrd, but the user tools to *create* such an initrd may not be availble. So trying to tell dracut to generate an lz4-compressed image just because we can decode such an image is completely inappropriate.

In struct page we have enough space to fit long-size page->ptl there, but we use dynamically-allocated page->ptl if size(spinlock_t) is larger than sizeof(int). It hurts 64-bit architectures with CONFIG_GENERIC_LOCKBREAK, where sizeof(spinlock_t) == 8, but it easily fits into struct page. Signed-off-by:

Commit 81c0a2bb ("mm: page_alloc: fair zone allocator policy") meant to bring aging fairness among zones in system, but it was overzealous and badly regressed basic workloads on NUMA systems. Due to the way kswapd and page allocator interacts, we still want to make sure that all zones in any given node are used equally for all allocations to maximize memory utilization and prevent thrashing on the highest zone in the node. While the same principle applies to NUMA nodes - memory utilization is obviously improved by spreading allocations throughout all nodes - remote references can be costly and so many workloads prefer locality over memory utilization. The original change assumed that zone_reclaim_mode would be a good enough predictor for that, but it turned out to be as indicative as a coin flip. Revert the NUMA aspect of the fairness until we can find a proper way to make it configurable and agree on a sane default. Signed-off-by:

Sasha Levin found a NULL pointer dereference that is due to a missing page table lock, which in turn is due to the pmd entry in question being a transparent huge-table entry. The code - introduced in commit 1998cc04 ("mm: make madvise(MADV_WILLNEED) support swap file prefetch") - correctly checks for this situation using pmd_none_or_trans_huge_or_clear_bad(), but it turns out that that function doesn't work correctly. pmd_none_or_trans_huge_or_clear_bad() expected that pmd_bad() would trigger if the transparent hugepage bit was set, but it doesn't do that if pmd_numa() is also set. Note that the NUMA bit only gets set on real NUMA machines, so people trying to reproduce this on most normal development systems would never actually trigger this. Fix it by removing the very subtle (and subtly incorrect) expectation, and instead just checking pmd_trans_huge() explicitly. Reported-by:

Commit 8f34a1da ("arm64: ptrace: use HW_BREAKPOINT_EMPTY type for disabled breakpoints") fixed an issue with GDB trying to zero breakpoint control registers. The problem there is that the arch hw_breakpoint code will attempt to create a (disabled), execute breakpoint of length 0. This will fail validation and report unexpected failure to GDB. To avoid this, we treated disabled breakpoints as HW_BREAKPOINT_EMPTY, but that seems to have broken with recent kernels, causing watchpoints to be treated as TYPE_INST in the core code and returning ENOSPC for any further breakpoints. This patch fixes the problem by prioritising the `enable' field of the breakpoint: if it is cleared, we simply update the perf_event_attr to indicate that the thing is disabled and don't bother changing either the type or the length. This reinforces the behaviour that the breakpoint control register is essentially read-only apart from the enable bit when disabling a breakpoint. Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> Reported-by:

update_pageblock_skip() only fits to compaction which tries to isolate by pageblock unit. If isolate_migratepages_range() is called by CMA, it try to isolate regardless of pageblock unit and it don't reference get_pageblock_skip() by ignore_skip_hint. We should also respect it on update_pageblock_skip() to prevent from setting the wrong information. Signed-off-by:

queue_pages_range() isolates hugetlbfs pages and putback_lru_pages() can't handle these. We should change it to putback_movable_pages(). Naoya said that it is worth going into stable, because it can break in-use hugepage list. Signed-off-by:

E.g. landisk_defconfig, which has CONFIG_NTFS_FS=m: ERROR: "__ashrdi3" [fs/ntfs/ntfs.ko] undefined! For "lib-y", if no symbols in a compilation unit are referenced by other units, the compilation unit will not be included in vmlinux. This breaks modules that do reference those symbols. Use "obj-y" instead to fix this. http://kisskb.ellerman.id.au/kisskb/buildresult/8838077/ This doesn't fix all cases. There are others, e.g. udivsi3. This is also not limited to sh, many architectures handle this in the same way. A simple solution is to unconditionally include all helper functions. A more complex solution is to make the choice of "lib-y" or "obj-y" depend on CONFIG_MODULES: obj-$(CONFIG_MODULES) += ... lib-y($CONFIG_MODULES) += ... Signed-off-by:

Dave Hansen noted a regression in a microbenchmark that loops around open() and close() on an 8-node NUMA machine and bisected it down to commit 81c0a2bb ("mm: page_alloc: fair zone allocator policy"). That change forces the slab allocations of the file descriptor to spread out to all 8 nodes, causing remote references in the page allocator and slab. The round-robin policy is only there to provide fairness among memory allocations that are reclaimed involuntarily based on pressure in each zone. It does not make sense to apply it to unreclaimable kernel allocations that are freed manually, in this case instantly after the allocation, and incur the remote reference costs twice for no reason. Only round-robin allocations that are usually freed through page reclaim or slab shrinking. Bisected by Dave Hansen. Signed-off-by:

There are a few subtle races, between change_protection_range (used by mprotect and change_prot_numa) on one side, and NUMA page migration and compaction on the other side. The basic race is that there is a time window between when the PTE gets made non-present (PROT_NONE or NUMA), and the TLB is flushed. During that time, a CPU may continue writing to the page. This is fine most of the time, however compaction or the NUMA migration code may come in, and migrate the page away. When that happens, the CPU may continue writing, through the cached translation, to what is no longer the current memory location of the process. This only affects x86, which has a somewhat optimistic pte_accessible. All other architectures appear to be safe, and will either always flush, or flush whenever there is a valid mapping, even with no permissions (SPARC). The basic race looks like this: CPU A CPU B CPU C load TLB entry make entry PTE/PMD_NUMA fault on entry read/write old page start migrating page change PTE/PMD to new page read/write old page [*] flush TLB reload TLB from new entry read/write new page lose data [*] the old page may belong to a new user at this point! The obvious fix is to flush remote TLB entries, by making sure that pte_accessible aware of the fact that PROT_NONE and PROT_NUMA memory may still be accessible if there is a TLB flush pending for the mm. This should fix both NUMA migration and compaction. [mgorman@suse.de: fix build] Signed-off-by:

do_huge_pmd_numa_page() handles the case where there is parallel THP migration. However, by the time it is checked the NUMA hinting information has already been disrupted. This patch adds an earlier check with some helpers. Signed-off-by:
