Charles Shirron and Paul Cassella from Cray Inc have reported kswapd stuck in a busy loop with nothing left to balance, but kswapd_try_to_sleep() failing to sleep. Their analysis found the cause to be a combination of several factors: 1. A process is waiting in throttle_direct_reclaim() on pgdat->pfmemalloc_wait 2. The process has been killed (by OOM in this case), but has not yet been scheduled to remove itself from the waitqueue and die. 3. kswapd checks for throttled processes in prepare_kswapd_sleep(): if (waitqueue_active(&pgdat->pfmemalloc_wait)) { wake_up(&pgdat->pfmemalloc_wait); return false; // kswapd will not go to sleep } However, for a process that was already killed, wake_up() does not remove the process from the waitqueue, since try_to_wake_up() checks its state first and returns false when the process is no longer waiting. 4. kswapd is running on the same CPU as the only CPU that the process is allowed to run on (through cpus_allowed, or possibly single-cpu system). 5. CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE=y kernel is used. If there's nothing to balance, kswapd encounters no voluntary preemption points and repeatedly fails prepare_kswapd_sleep(), blocking the process from running and removing itself from the waitqueue, which would let kswapd sleep. So, the source of the problem is that we prevent kswapd from going to sleep until there are processes waiting on the pfmemalloc_wait queue, and a process waiting on a queue is guaranteed to be removed from the queue only when it gets scheduled. This was done to make sure that no process is left sleeping on pfmemalloc_wait when kswapd itself goes to sleep. However, it isn't necessary to postpone kswapd sleep until the pfmemalloc_wait queue actually empties. To prevent processes from being left sleeping, it's actually enough to guarantee that all processes waiting on pfmemalloc_wait queue have been woken up by the time we put kswapd to sleep. This patch therefore fixes this issue by substituting 'wake_up' with 'wake_up_all' and removing 'return false' in the code snippet from prepare_kswapd_sleep() above. Note that if any process puts itself in the queue after this waitqueue_active() check, or after the wake up itself, it means that the process will also wake up kswapd - and since we are under prepare_to_wait(), the wake up won't be missed. Also we update the comment prepare_kswapd_sleep() to hopefully more clearly describe the races it is preventing.

We are supposed to take one css reference per each memory page and per each swap entry accounted to a memory cgroup. However, during task charges migration we take a reference to the destination cgroup twice per each swap entry: first in mem_cgroup_do_precharge()->try_charge() and then in mem_cgroup_move_swap_account(), permanently leaking the destination cgroup. The hunk taking the second reference seems to be a leftover from the pre-00501b53 ("mm: memcontrol: rewrite charge API") era. Remove it to fix the leak.

Commit 3e32cb2e ("mm: memcontrol: lockless page counters") accidentally switched the soft limit default from infinity to zero, which turns all memcgs with even a single page into soft limit excessors and engages soft limit reclaim on all of them during global memory pressure. This makes global reclaim generally more aggressive, but also inverts the meaning of existing soft limit configurations where unset soft limits are usually more generous than set ones. Signed-off-by:

Fix clashing values for O_PATH and FMODE_NONOTIFY on sparc. The clashing O_PATH value was added in commit 5229645b ("vfs: add nonconflicting values for O_PATH") but this can't be changed as it is user-visible. FMODE_NONOTIFY is only used internally in the kernel, but it is in the same numbering space as the other O_* flags, as indicated by the comment at the top of include/uapi/asm-generic/fcntl.h (and its use in fs/notify/fanotify/fanotify_user.c). So renumber it to avoid the clash. All of this has happened before (commit 12ed2e36: "fanotify: FMODE_NONOTIFY and __O_SYNC in sparc conflict"), and all of this will happen again -- so update the uniqueness check in fcntl_init() to include __FMODE_NONOTIFY.

In ocfs2_link(), the parent directory inode passed to function ocfs2_lookup_ino_from_name() is wrong. Parameter dir is the parent of new_dentry not old_dentry. We should get old_dir from old_dentry and lookup old_dentry in old_dir in case another node remove the old dentry. With this change, hard linking works again, when paths are relative with at least one subdirectory. This is how the problem was reproducable: # mkdir a # mkdir b # touch a/test # ln a/test b/test ln: failed to create hard link `b/test' => `a/test': No such file or directory However when creating links in the same dir, it worked well. Now the link gets created. Fixes: 0e048316 ("ocfs2: check existence of old dentry in ocfs2_link()") Signed-off-by:

Tejun, while reviewing the code, spotted the following race condition between the dirtying and truncation of a page: __set_page_dirty_nobuffers() __delete_from_page_cache() if (TestSetPageDirty(page)) page->mapping = NULL if (PageDirty()) dec_zone_page_state(page, NR_FILE_DIRTY); dec_bdi_stat(mapping->backing_dev_info, BDI_RECLAIMABLE); if (page->mapping) account_page_dirtied(page) __inc_zone_page_state(page, NR_FILE_DIRTY); __inc_bdi_stat(mapping->backing_dev_info, BDI_RECLAIMABLE); which results in an imbalance of NR_FILE_DIRTY and BDI_RECLAIMABLE. Dirtiers usually lock out truncation, either by holding the page lock directly, or in case of zap_pte_range(), by pinning the mapcount with the page table lock held. The notable exception to this rule, though, is do_wp_page(), for which this race exists. However, do_wp_page() already waits for a locked page to unlock before setting the dirty bit, in order to prevent a race where clear_page_dirty() misses the page bit in the presence of dirty ptes. Upgrade that wait to a fully locked set_page_dirty() to also cover the situation explained above. Afterwards, the code in set_page_dirty() dealing with a truncation race is no longer needed. Remove it. Reported-by:

Constantly forking task causes unlimited grow of anon_vma chain. Each next child allocates new level of anon_vmas and links vma to all previous levels because pages might be inherited from any level. This patch adds heuristic which decides to reuse existing anon_vma instead of forking new one. It adds counter anon_vma->degree which counts linked vmas and directly descending anon_vmas and reuses anon_vma if counter is lower than two. As a result each anon_vma has either vma or at least two descending anon_vmas. In such trees half of nodes are leafs with alive vmas, thus count of anon_vmas is no more than two times bigger than count of vmas. This heuristic reuses anon_vmas as few as possible because each reuse adds false aliasing among vmas and rmap walker ought to scan more ptes when it searches where page is might be mapped.

wait_consider_task() checks EXIT_ZOMBIE after EXIT_DEAD/EXIT_TRACE and both checks can fail if we race with EXIT_ZOMBIE -> EXIT_DEAD/EXIT_TRACE change in between, gcc needs to reload p->exit_state after security_task_wait(). In this case ->notask_error will be wrongly cleared and do_wait() can hang forever if it was the last eligible child. Many thanks to Arne who carefully investigated the problem. Note: this bug is very old but it was pure theoretical until commit b3ab0316 ("wait: completely ignore the EXIT_DEAD tasks"). Before this commit "-O2" was probably enough to guarantee that compiler won't read ->exit_state twice. Signed-off-by:

Jay Foad reports that the address sanitizer test (asan) sometimes gets confused by a stack pointer that ends up being outside the stack vma that is reported by /proc/maps. This happens due to an interaction between RLIMIT_STACK and the guard page: when we do the guard page check, we ignore the potential error from the stack expansion, which effectively results in a missing guard page, since the expected stack expansion won't have been done. And since /proc/maps explicitly ignores the guard page (commit d7824370: "mm: fix up some user-visible effects of the stack guard page"), the stack pointer ends up being outside the reported stack area. This is the minimal patch: it just propagates the error. It also effectively makes the guard page part of the stack limit, which in turn measn that the actual real stack is one page less than the stack limit. Let's see if anybody notices. We could teach acct_stack_growth() to allow an extra page for a grow-up/grow-down stack in the rlimit test, but I don't want to add more complexity if it isn't needed. Reported-and-tested-by:

This patch fixes a potential memory leak which can occur once an originator times out. On timeout the according global translation table entry might not get purged correctly. Furthermore, the non purged TT entry will cause its orig-node to leak, too. Which additionally can lead to the new multicast optimization feature not kicking in because of a therefore bogus counter. In detail: The batadv_tt_global_entry->orig_list holds the reference to the orig-node. Usually this reference is released after BATADV_PURGE_TIMEOUT through: _batadv_purge_orig()-> batadv_purge_orig_node()->batadv_update_route()->_batadv_update_route()-> batadv_tt_global_del_orig() which purges this global tt entry and releases the reference to the orig-node. However, if between two batadv_purge_orig_node() calls the orig-node timeout grew to 2*BATADV_PURGE_TIMEOUT then this call path isn't reached. Instead the according orig-node is removed from the originator hash in _batadv_purge_orig(), the batadv_update_route() part is skipped and won't be reached anymore. Fixing the issue by moving batadv_tt_global_del_orig() out of the rcu callback. Signed-off-by:

When purging an orig_node we should only decrease counter tracking the number of nodes without multicast optimizations support if it was increased through this orig_node before. A not yet quite initialized orig_node (meaning it did not have its turn in the mcast-tvlv handler so far) which gets purged would not adhere to this and will lead to a counter imbalance. Fixing this by adding a check whether the orig_node is mcast-initalized before decreasing the counter in the mcast-orig_node-purging routine.

A miscounting of nodes having multicast optimizations enabled can lead to multicast packet loss in the following scenario: If the first OGM a node receives from another one has no multicast optimizations support (no multicast tvlv) then we are missing to increase the counter. This potentially leads to the wrong assumption that we could safely use multicast optimizations. Fixings this by increasing the counter if the initial OGM has the multicast TVLV unset, too.

Currently it can happen that the reception of an OGM from a new originator is not being accepted. More precisely it can happen that an originator struct gets allocated and initialized (batadv_orig_node_new()), even the TQ gets calculated and set correctly (batadv_iv_ogm_calc_tq()) but still the periodic orig_node purging thread will decide to delete it if it has a chance to jump between these two function calls. This is because batadv_orig_node_new() initializes the last_seen value to zero and its caller (batadv_iv_ogm_orig_get()) makes it visible to other threads by adding it to the hash table already. batadv_iv_ogm_calc_tq() will set the last_seen variable to the correct, current time a few lines later but if the purging thread jumps in between that it will think that the orig_node timed out and will wrongly schedule it for deletion already. If the purging interval is the same as the originator interval (which is the default: 1 second), then this game can continue for several rounds until the random OGM jitter added enough difference between these two (in tests, two to about four rounds seemed common). Fixing this by initializing the last_seen variable of an orig_node to the current time before adding it to the hash table. Signed-off-by:

The CPSW IP implements pulse-signaled interrupts. Due to that we must write a correct, pre-defined value to the CPDMA_MACEOIVECTOR register so the controller generates a pulse on the correct IRQ line to signal the End Of Interrupt. The way the driver is written today, all four IRQ lines are requested using the same IRQ handler and, because of that, we could fall into situations where a TX IRQ fires but we tell the controller that we ended an RX IRQ (or vice-versa). This situation triggers an IRQ storm on the reserved IRQ 127 of INTC which will in turn call ack_bad_irq() which will, then, print a ton of: unexpected IRQ trap at vector 00 In order to fix the problem, we are moving all calls to cpdma_ctlr_eoi() inside the IRQ handler and making sure we *always* write the correct value to the CPDMA_MACEOIVECTOR register. Note that the algorithm assumes that IRQ numbers and value-to-be-written-to-EOI are proportional, meaning that a write of value 0 would trigger an EOI pulse for the RX_THRESHOLD Interrupt and that's the IRQ number sitting in the 0-th index of our irqs_table array. This, however, is safe at least for current implementations of CPSW so we will refrain from making the check smarter (and, as a side-effect, slower) until we actually have a platform where IRQ lines are swapped. This patch has been tested for several days with AM335x- and AM437x-based platforms. AM57x was left out because there are still pending patches to enable ethernet in mainline for that platform. A read of the TRM confirms the statement on previous paragraph. Reported-by:

Commit 9fc2105a ("ARM: 7830/1: delay: don't bother reporting bogomips in /proc/cpuinfo") breaks audio in python, and probably elsewhere, with message FATAL: cannot locate cpu MHz in /proc/cpuinfo I'm not the first one to hit it, see for example https://theredblacktree.wordpress.com/2014/08/10/fatal-cannot-locate-cpu-mhz-in-proccpuinfo/ https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/765800/workaround-for-fatal-cannot-locate-cpu-mhz-in-proc-cpuinf/?offset=1 Reading original changelog, I have to say "Stop breaking working setups. You know who you are!". Signed-off-by:

Commit a074335a ("x86, um: Mark system call tables readonly") was supposed to mark the sys_call_table in UML as RO by adding the const, but it doesn't have the desired effect as it's nevertheless being placed into the data section since __cacheline_aligned enforces sys_call_table being placed into .data..cacheline_aligned instead. We need to use the ____cacheline_aligned version instead to fix this issue. Before: $ nm -v arch/x86/um/sys_call_table_64.o | grep -1 "sys_call_table" U sys_writev 0000000000000000 D sys_call_table 0000000000000000 D syscall_table_size After: $ nm -v arch/x86/um/sys_call_table_64.o | grep -1 "sys_call_table" U sys_writev 0000000000000000 R sys_call_table 0000000000000000 D syscall_table_size Fixes: a074335a ("x86, um: Mark system call tables readonly") Cc: H.

futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() does not work on UML because it triggers a copy_from_user() in kernel context. On UML copy_from_user() can only be used if the kernel was called by a real user space process such that UML can use ptrace() to fetch the value. Reported-by:

When allocation of all RQs fail, we do not free previously allocated buffers, before returning error. This causes memory leak. This patch fixes this by calling vnic_rq_clean(), which frees all the rq buffers. Signed-off-by:

Some buggy firmwares export an incorrect MAC address (00:a0:c6:00:00:00). This makes for example checking devices for random MAC addresses tricky, and you might end up with multiple network interfaces with the same address. This patch tries to fix, or at least improve, the situation by setting the MAC address of devices with this firmware bug to a random address. I tested the patch with two devices that has this firmware bug (Huawei E398 and E392), and network traffic worked fine after changing the address. Signed-off-by:
