Commit 91c2e0bc ("unify compat fanotify_mark(2), switch to COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE") added a new unified compat fanotify_mark syscall to be used by all architectures. Unfortunately the unified version merges the split mask parameter in a wrong way: the lower and higher word got swapped. This was discovered with glibc's tst-fanotify test case. Signed-off-by:

@splice_desc.total_len is 32 bit(unsigned int) which is used to store the size passed from userspace which is 64 bit(size_t) so that the size is unexpectedly truncated That means vmsplice can not work if the size passed from userspace is >= 4G, for example, we noticed in vmsplice, splice-reader does not do anything and splice-writer is waiting for available buffer forever if the size is 4G Fix it by extending @splice_desc.total_len to 64 bits as well Signed-off-by:

Both expunge_all() and pipeline_send() rely on both a nil msg value and a full barrier to guarantee the correct ordering when waking up a task. While its counterpart at the receiving end is well documented for the lockless recv algorithm, we still need to document these specific smp_mb() calls.

Rafael Aquini authored
After the locking semantics for the SysV IPC API got improved, a couple of IPC_RMID race windows were opened because we ended up dropping the 'kern_ipc_perm.deleted' check performed way down in ipc_lock(). The spotted races got sorted out by re-introducing the old test within the racy critical sections. This patch introduces ipc_valid_object() to consolidate the way we cope with IPC_RMID races by using the same abstraction across the API implementation. Signed-off-by:

When trying to understand semop code, I found a small mistake in the check for semadj (undo) value overflow. The new undo value is not stored immediately and next potential checks are done against the old value. The failing scenario is not much practical. One semop call has to do more operations on the same semaphore. Also semval and semadj must have different values, so there has to be some operations without SEM_UNDO flag. For example: struct sembuf depositor_op[1]; struct sembuf collector_op[2]; depositor_op[0].sem_num = 0; depositor_op[0].sem_op = 20000; depositor_op[0].sem_flg = 0; collector_op[0].sem_num = 0; collector_op[0].sem_op = -10000; collector_op[0].sem_flg = SEM_UNDO; collector_op[1].sem_num = 0; collector_op[1].sem_op = -10000; collector_op[1].sem_flg = SEM_UNDO; if (semop(semid, depositor_op, 1) == -1) { perror("Failed to do 1st deposit"); return 1; } if (semop(semid, collector_op, 2) == -1) { perror("Failed to do 1st collect"); return 1; } if (semop(semid, depositor_op, 1) == -1) { perror("Failed to do 2nd deposit"); return 1; } if (semop(semid, collector_op, 2) == -1) { perror("Failed to do 2nd collect"); return 1; } return 0; It passes without error now but the semadj value has overflown in the 2nd collector operation.

Commit da29bd36 ("mm/mm_init.c: make creation of the mm_kobj happen earlier than device_initcall") changed to pure_initcall(mm_sysfs_init). That's too early: mm_sysfs_init() depends on core_initcall(ksysfs_init) to have made the kernel_kobj directory "kernel" in which to create "mm". Make it postcore_initcall(mm_sysfs_init). We could use core_initcall(), and depend upon Makefile link order kernel/ mm/ fs/ ipc/ security/ ... as core_initcall(debugfs_init) and core_initcall(securityfs_init) do; but better not.

Revert commit ece86e22, which was intended as a small performance improvement. Despite the claim that the patch doesn't introduce any functional changes in fact it does. The "no page" path behaves different now. Originally, vmalloc_to_page might return NULL under some conditions, with new implementation it returns pfn_to_page(0) which is not the same as NULL. Simple test shows the difference. test.c #include <linux/kernel.h> #include <linux/module.h> #include <linux/vmalloc.h> #include <linux/mm.h> int __init myi(void) { struct page *p; void *v; v = vmalloc(PAGE_SIZE); /* trigger the "no page" path in vmalloc_to_page*/ vfree(v); p = vmalloc_to_page(v); pr_err("expected val = NULL, returned val = %p", p); return -EBUSY; } void __exit mye(void) { } module_init(myi) module_exit(mye) Before interchange: expected val = NULL, returned val = (null) After interchange: expected val = NULL, returned val = c7ebe000 Signed-off-by:

In original __alloc_memory_core_early() for bootmem wrapper, we do not align size silently. We should not do that, as later free with old size will leave some range not freed. It's obvious that code is copied from memblock_base_nid(), and that code is wrong for the same reason. Also remove that in memblock_alloc_base. Signed-off-by:

Dave reported big numa system booting is broken. It turns out that commit 5b6e5295 ("x86: memblock: set current limit to max low memory address") sets the limit to low wrongly. max_low_pfn_mapped is different from max_pfn_mapped. max_low_pfn_mapped is always under 4G. That will memblock_alloc_nid all go under 4G. Revert 5b6e5295 to fix a no-boot regression which was triggered by 457ff1de ("lib/swiotlb.c: use memblock apis for early memory allocations").
