Pull second vfs pile from Al Viro: "The stuff in there: fsfreeze deadlock fixes by Jan (essentially, the deadlock reproduced by xfstests 068), symlink and hardlink restriction patches, plus assorted cleanups and fixes. Note that another fsfreeze deadlock (emergency thaw one) is *not* dealt with - the series by Fernando conflicts a lot with Jan's, breaks userland ABI (FIFREEZE semantics gets changed) and trades the deadlock for massive vfsmount leak; this is going to be handled next cycle. There probably will be another pull request, but that stuff won't be in it."

Pull block driver changes from Jens Axboe: - Making the plugging support for drivers a bit more sane from Neil. This supersedes the plugging change from Shaohua as well. - The usual round of drbd updates. - Using a tail add instead of a head add in the request completion for ndb, making us find the most completed request more quickly. - A few floppy changes, getting rid of a duplicated flag and also running the floppy init async (since it takes forever in boot terms) from Andi. * 'for-3.6/drivers' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: floppy: remove duplicated flag FD_RAW_NEED_DISK blk: pass from_schedule to non-request unplug functions. block: stack unplug blk: centralize non-request unplug handling. md: remove plug_cnt feature of plugging. block/nbd: micro-optimization in nbd request completion drbd: announce FLUSH/FUA capability to upper layers drbd: fix max_bio_size to be unsigned drbd: flush drbd work queue before invalidate/invalidate remote drbd: fix potential access after free drbd: call local-io-error handler early drbd: do not reset rs_pending_cnt too early drbd: reset congestion information before reporting it in /proc/drbd drbd: report congestion if we are waiting for some userland callback drbd: differentiate between normal and forced detach drbd: cleanup, remove two unused global flags floppy: Run floppy initialization asynchronous

Pull core block IO bits from Jens Axboe: "The most complicated part if this is the request allocation rework by Tejun, which has been queued up for a long time and has been in for-next ditto as well.

Add a new operation code (BLKPG_RESIZE_PARTITION) to the BLKPG ioctl that allows altering the size of an existing partition, even if it is currently in use. This patch converts hd_struct->nr_sects into sequence counter because One might extend a partition while IO is happening to it and update of nr_sects can be non-atomic on 32bit machines with 64bit sector_t. This can lead to issues like reading inconsistent size of a partition. Sequence counter have been used so that readers don't have to take bdev mutex lock as we call sector_in_part() very frequently. Now all the access to hd_struct->nr_sects should happen using sequence counter read/update helper functions part_nr_sects_read/part_nr_sects_write. There is one exception though, set_capacity()/get_capacity(). I think theoritically race should exist there too but this patch does not modify set_capacity()/get_capacity() due to sheer number of call sites and I am afraid that change might break something. I have left that as a TODO item. We can handle it later if need be. This patch does not introduce any new races as such w.r.t set_capacity()/get_capacity(). v2: Add CONFIG_LBDAF test to UP preempt case as suggested by Phillip. Signed-off-by:

Hi, I'm using the old-fashioned 'dump' backup tool, and I noticed that it spews the below warning as of 3.5-rc1 and later (3.4 is fine): [ 10.886893] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 10.886904] WARNING: at include/linux/iocontext.h:140 copy_process+0x1488/0x1560() [ 10.886905] Hardware name: Bochs [ 10.886906] Modules linked in: [ 10.886908] Pid: 2430, comm: dump Not tainted 3.5.0-rc7+ #27 [ 10.886908] Call Trace: [ 10.886911] [<ffffffff8107ce8a>] warn_slowpath_common+0x7a/0xb0 [ 10.886912] [<ffffffff8107ced5>] warn_slowpath_null+0x15/0x20 [ 10.886913] [<ffffffff8107c088>] copy_process+0x1488/0x1560 [ 10.886914] [<ffffffff8107c244>] do_fork+0xb4/0x340 [ 10.886918] [<ffffffff8108effa>] ? recalc_sigpending+0x1a/0x50 [ 10.886919] [<ffffffff8108f6b2>] ? __set_task_blocked+0x32/0x80 [ 10.886920] [<ffffffff81091afa>] ? __set_current_blocked+0x3a/0x60 [ 10.886923] [<ffffffff81051db3>] sys_clone+0x23/0x30 [ 10.886925] [<ffffffff8179bd73>] stub_clone+0x13/0x20 [ 10.886927] [<ffffffff8179baa2>] ? system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b [ 10.886928] ---[ end trace 32a14af7ee6a590b ]--- Reproducing is easy, I can hit it on a KVM system with a very basic config (x86_64 make defconfig + enable the drivers needed).

This patch separate out the first into ioc->active_ref, which is acquired and released using {get|put}_io_context_active() respectively. This will be used to associate bio's with a given task. This patch doesn't introduce any visible behavior change. Signed-off-by:

blk_set_stacking_limits is intended to allow stacking drivers to build up the limits of the stacked device based on the underlying devices' limits. But defaulting 'max_sectors' to BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS (1024) doesn't allow the stacking driver to inherit a max_sectors larger than 1024 -- due to blk_stack_limits' use of min_not_zero. It is now clear that this artificial limit is getting in the way so change blk_set_stacking_limits's max_sectors to UINT_MAX (which allows stacking drivers like dm-multipath to inherit 'max_sectors' from the underlying paths).

Pull irqdomain changes from Grant Likely: "Round of refactoring and enhancements to irq_domain infrastructure. This series starts the process of simplifying irqdomain. The ultimate goal is to merge LEGACY, LINEAR and TREE mappings into a single system, but had to back off from that after some last minute bugs. Instead it mainly reorganizes the code and ensures that the reverse map gets populated when the irq is mapped instead of the first time it is looked up. Merging of the irq_domain types is deferred to v3.7 In other news, this series adds helpers for creating static mappings on a linear or tree mapping." * tag 'irqdomain-for-linus' of git://git.secretlab.ca/git/linux-2.6: irqdomain: Improve diagnostics when a domain mapping fails irqdomain: eliminate slow-path revmap lookups irqdomain: Fix irq_create_direct_mapping() to test irq_domain type. irqdomain: Eliminate dedicated radix lookup functions irqdomain: Support for static IRQ mapping and association. irqdomain: Always update revmap when setting up a virq irqdomain: Split disassociating code into separate function irq_domain: correct a minor wrong comment for linear revmap irq_domain: Standardise legacy/linear domain selection irqdomain: Make ops->map hook optional irqdomain: Remove unnecessary test for IRQ_DOMAIN_MAP_LEGACY irqdomain: Simple NUMA awareness. devicetree: add helper inline for retrieving a node's full name

Pull VFIO core from Alex Williamson: "This series includes the VFIO userspace driver interface for the 3.6 kernel merge window. This driver is intended to provide a secure interface for device access using IOMMU protection for applications like assignment of physical devices to virtual machines. Qemu will be the first user of this interface, enabling assignment of PCI devices to Qemu guests. This interface is intended to eventually replace the x86-specific assignment mechanism currently available in KVM. This interface has the advantage of being more secure, by working with IOMMU groups to ensure device isolation and providing it's own filtered resource access mechanism, and also more flexible, in not being x86 or KVM specific (extensions to enable POWER are already working). This driver is originally the work of Tom Lyon, but has since been handed over to me and gone through a complete overhaul thanks to the input from David Gibson, Ben Herrenschmidt, Chris Wright, Joerg Roedel, and others. This driver has been available in linux-next for the last month." Paul Mackerras says: "I would be glad to see it go in since we want to use it with KVM on PowerPC. If possible we'd like the PowerPC bits for it to go in as well." * tag 'vfio-for-v3.6' of git://github.com/awilliam/linux-vfio: vfio: Add PCI device driver vfio: Type1 IOMMU implementation vfio: Add documentation vfio: VFIO core

If a process creates a large hugetlbfs mapping that is eligible for page table sharing and forks heavily with children some of whom fault and others which destroy the mapping then it is possible for page tables to get corrupted. Some teardowns of the mapping encounter a "bad pmd" and output a message to the kernel log. The final teardown will trigger a BUG_ON in mm/filemap.c.

To reproduce it I was doing the following on a single socket I7-based machine with 16G of RAM. $ hugeadm --pool-pages-max DEFAULT:13G $ echo $((18*1048576*1024)) > /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax $ echo $((18*1048576*1024)) > /proc/sys/kernel/shmall $ for i in `seq 1 9000`; do ./hugetlbfs-test; done On my particular machine, it usually triggers within 10 minutes but enabling debug options can change the timing such that it never hits. Once the bug is triggered, the machine is in trouble and needs to be rebooted. The machine will respond but processes accessing proc like "ps aux" will hang due to the BUG_ON. shutdown will also hang and needs a hard reset or a sysrq-b. The basic problem is a race between page table sharing and teardown. For the most part page table sharing depends on i_mmap_mutex. In some cases, it is also taking the mm->page_table_lock for the PTE updates but with shared page tables, it is the i_mmap_mutex that is more important. Unfortunately it appears to be also insufficient. Consider the following situation Process A Process B --------- --------- hugetlb_fault shmdt LockWrite(mmap_sem) do_munmap unmap_region unmap_vmas unmap_single_vma unmap_hugepage_range Lock(i_mmap_mutex) Lock(mm->page_table_lock) huge_pmd_unshare/unmap tables <--- (1) Unlock(mm->page_table_lock) Unlock(i_mmap_mutex) huge_pte_alloc ... Lock(i_mmap_mutex) ... vma_prio_walk, find svma, spte ... Lock(mm->page_table_lock) ... share spte ... Unlock(mm->page_table_lock) ... Unlock(i_mmap_mutex) ... hugetlb_no_page <--- (2) free_pgtables unlink_file_vma hugetlb_free_pgd_range remove_vma_list In this scenario, it is possible for Process A to share page tables with Process B that is trying to tear them down. The i_mmap_mutex on its own does not prevent Process A walking Process B's page tables. At (1) above, the page tables are not shared yet so it unmaps the PMDs. Process A sets up page table sharing and at (2) faults a new entry. Process B then trips up on it in free_pgtables. This patch fixes the problem by adding a new function __unmap_hugepage_range_final that is only called when the VMA is about to be destroyed. This function clears VM_MAYSHARE during unmap_hugepage_range() under the i_mmap_mutex. This makes the VMA ineligible for sharing and avoids the race. Superficially this looks like it would then be vunerable to truncate and madvise issues but hugetlbfs has its own truncate handlers so does not use unmap_mapping_range() and does not support madvise(DONTNEED). This should be treated as a -stable candidate if it is merged. Test program is as follows. The test case was mostly written by Michal Hocko with a few minor changes to reproduce this bug. ==== CUT HERE ==== static size_t huge_page_size = (2UL << 20); static size_t nr_huge_page_A = 512; static size_t nr_huge_page_B = 5632; unsigned int get_random(unsigned int max) { struct timeval tv; gettimeofday(&tv, NULL); srandom(tv.tv_usec); return random() % max; } static void play(void *addr, size_t size) { unsigned char *start = addr, *end = start + size, *a; start += get_random(size/2); /* we could itterate on huge pages but let's give it more time. */ for (a = start; a < end; a += 4096) *a = 0; } int main(int argc, char **argv) { key_t key = IPC_PRIVATE; size_t sizeA = nr_huge_page_A * huge_page_size; size_t sizeB = nr_huge_page_B * huge_page_size; int shmidA, shmidB; void *addrA = NULL, *addrB = NULL; int nr_children = 300, n = 0; if ((shmidA = shmget(key, sizeA, IPC_CREAT|SHM_HUGETLB|0660)) == -1) { perror("shmget:"); return 1; } if ((addrA = shmat(shmidA, addrA, SHM_R|SHM_W)) == (void *)-1UL) { perror("shmat"); return 1; } if ((shmidB = shmget(key, sizeB, IPC_CREAT|SHM_HUGETLB|0660)) == -1) { perror("shmget:"); return 1; } if ((addrB = shmat(shmidB, addrB, SHM_R|SHM_W)) == (void *)-1UL) { perror("shmat"); return 1; } fork_child: switch(fork()) { case 0: switch (n%3) { case 0: play(addrA, sizeA); break; case 1: play(addrB, sizeB); break; case 2: break; } break; case -1: perror("fork:"); break; default: if (++n < nr_children) goto fork_child; play(addrA, sizeA); break; } shmdt(addrA); shmdt(addrB); do { wait(NULL); } while (--n > 0); shmctl(shmidA, IPC_RMID, NULL); shmctl(shmidB, IPC_RMID, NULL); return 0; } [akpm@linux-foundation.org: name the declaration's args, fix CONFIG_HUGETLBFS=n build] Signed-off-by:

Warn if memory-hotplug/boot code doesn't initialize pg_data_t with zero when it is allocated. Arch code and memory hotplug already initiailize pg_data_t. So this warning should never happen. I select fields randomly near the beginning, middle and end of pg_data_t for checking. This patch isn't for performance but for removing initialization code which is necessary to add whenever we adds new field to pg_data_t or zone. Firstly, Andrew suggested clearing out of pg_data_t in MM core part but Tejun doesn't like it because in the future, some archs can initialize some fields in arch code and pass them into general MM part so blindly clearing it out in mm core part would be very annoying.

I noticed in a multi-process parallel files reading benchmark I ran on a 8 socket machine, throughput slowed down by a factor of 8 when I ran the benchmark within a cgroup container. I traced the problem to the following code path (see below) when we are trying to reclaim memory from file cache. The res_counter_uncharge function is called on every page that's reclaimed and created heavy lock contention. The patch below allows the reclaimed pages to be uncharged from the resource counter in batch and recovered the regression.

sparse_index_init() uses the index_init_lock spinlock to protect root mem_section assignment. The lock is not necessary anymore because the function is called only during boot (during paging init which is executed only from a single CPU) and from the hotplug code (by add_memory() via arch_add_memory()) which uses mem_hotplug_mutex. The lock was introduced by 28ae55c9 ("sparsemem extreme: hotplug preparation") and sparse_index_init() was used only during boot at that time. Later when the hotplug code (and add_memory()) was introduced there was no synchronization so it was possible to online more sections from the same root probably (though I am not 100% sure about that). The first synchronization has been added by 6ad696d2 ("mm: allow memory hotplug and hibernation in the same kernel") which was later replaced by the mem_hotplug_mutex - 20d6c96b ("mem-hotplug: introduce {un}lock_memory_hotplug()"). Let's remove the lock as it is not needed and it makes the code more confusing. [mhocko@suse.cz: changelog] Signed-off-by:

The may_enter_fs test turns out to be too restrictive: though I saw no problem with it when testing on 3.5-rc6, it very soon OOMed when I tested on 3.5-rc6-mm1. I don't know what the difference there is, perhaps I just slightly changed the way I started off the testing: dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/temp bs=1M count=1024; rm -f /mnt/temp; sync repeatedly, in 20M memory.limit_in_bytes cgroup to ext4 on USB stick. ext4 (and gfs2 and xfs) turn out to allocate new pages for writing with AOP_FLAG_NOFS: that seems a little worrying, and it's unclear to me why the transaction needs to be started even before allocating pagecache memory. But it may not be worth worrying about these days: if direct reclaim avoids FS writeback, does __GFP_FS now mean anything? Anyway, we insisted on the may_enter_fs test to avoid hangs with the loop device; but since that also masks off __GFP_IO, we can test for __GFP_IO directly, ignoring may_enter_fs and __GFP_FS. But even so, the test still OOMs sometimes: when originally testing on 3.5-rc6, it OOMed about one time in five or ten; when testing just now on 3.5-rc6-mm1, it OOMed on the first iteration. This residual problem comes from an accumulation of pages under ordinary writeback, not marked PageReclaim, so rightly not causing the memcg check to wait on their writeback: these too can prevent shrink_page_list() from freeing any pages, so many times that memcg reclaim fails and OOMs. Deal with these in the same way as direct reclaim now deals with dirty FS pages: mark them PageReclaim. It is appropriate to rotate these to tail of list when writepage completes, but more importantly, the PageReclaim flag makes memcg reclaim wait on them if encountered again. Increment NR_VMSCAN_IMMEDIATE? That's arguable: I chose not. Setting PageReclaim here may occasionally race with end_page_writeback() clearing it: lru_deactivate_fn() already faced the same race, and correctly concluded that the window is small and the issue non-critical. With these changes, the test runs indefinitely without OOMing on ext4, ext3 and ext2: I'll move on to test with other filesystems later. Trivia: invert conditions for a clearer block without an else, and goto keep_locked to do the unlock_page. Signed-off-by:

The current implementation of dirty pages throttling is not memcg aware which makes it easy to have memcg LRUs full of dirty pages. Without throttling, these LRUs can be scanned faster than the rate of writeback, leading to memcg OOM conditions when the hard limit is small. This patch fixes the problem by throttling the allocating process (possibly a writer) during the hard limit reclaim by waiting on PageReclaim pages. We are waiting only for PageReclaim pages because those are the pages that made one full round over LRU and that means that the writeback is much slower than scanning. The solution is far from being ideal - long term solution is memcg aware dirty throttling - but it is meant to be a band aid until we have a real fix. We are seeing this happening during nightly backups which are placed into containers to prevent from eviction of the real working set. The change affects only memcg reclaim and only when we encounter PageReclaim pages which is a signal that the reclaim doesn't catch up on with the writers so somebody should be throttled. This could be potentially unfair because it could be somebody else from the group who gets throttled on behalf of the writer but as writers need to allocate as well and they allocate in higher rate the probability that only innocent processes would be penalized is not that high. I have tested this change by a simple dd copying /dev/zero to tmpfs or ext3 running under small memcg (1G copy under 5M, 60M, 300M and 2G containers) and dd got killed by OOM killer every time. With the patch I could run the dd with the same size under 5M controller without any OOM. The issue is more visible with slower devices for output. * With the patch ================ * tmpfs size=2G --------------- $ vim cgroup_cache_oom_test.sh $ ./cgroup_cache_oom_test.sh 5M using Limit 5M for group 1000+0 records in 1000+0 records out 1048576000 bytes (1.0 GB) copied, 30.4049 s, 34.5 MB/s $ ./cgroup_cache_oom_test.sh 60M using Limit 60M for group 1000+0 records in 1000+0 records out 1048576000 bytes (1.0 GB) copied, 31.4561 s, 33.3 MB/s $ ./cgroup_cache_oom_test.sh 300M using Limit 300M for group 1000+0 records in 1000+0 records out 1048576000 bytes (1.0 GB) copied, 20.4618 s, 51.2 MB/s $ ./cgroup_cache_oom_test.sh 2G using Limit 2G for group 1000+0 records in 1000+0 records out 1048576000 bytes (1.0 GB) copied, 1.42172 s, 738 MB/s * ext3 ------ $ ./cgroup_cache_oom_test.sh 5M using Limit 5M for group 1000+0 records in 1000+0 records out 1048576000 bytes (1.0 GB) copied, 27.9547 s, 37.5 MB/s $ ./cgroup_cache_oom_test.sh 60M using Limit 60M for group 1000+0 records in 1000+0 records out 1048576000 bytes (1.0 GB) copied, 30.3221 s, 34.6 MB/s $ ./cgroup_cache_oom_test.sh 300M using Limit 300M for group 1000+0 records in 1000+0 records out 1048576000 bytes (1.0 GB) copied, 24.5764 s, 42.7 MB/s $ ./cgroup_cache_oom_test.sh 2G using Limit 2G for group 1000+0 records in 1000+0 records out 1048576000 bytes (1.0 GB) copied, 3.35828 s, 312 MB/s * Without the patch =================== * tmpfs size=2G --------------- $ ./cgroup_cache_oom_test.sh 5M using Limit 5M for group ./cgroup_cache_oom_test.sh: line 46: 4668 Killed dd if=/dev/zero of=$OUT/zero bs=1M count=$count $ ./cgroup_cache_oom_test.sh 60M using Limit 60M for group 1000+0 records in 1000+0 records out 1048576000 bytes (1.0 GB) copied, 25.4989 s, 41.1 MB/s $ ./cgroup_cache_oom_test.sh 300M using Limit 300M for group 1000+0 records in 1000+0 records out 1048576000 bytes (1.0 GB) copied, 24.3928 s, 43.0 MB/s $ ./cgroup_cache_oom_test.sh 2G using Limit 2G for group 1000+0 records in 1000+0 records out 1048576000 bytes (1.0 GB) copied, 1.49797 s, 700 MB/s * ext3 ------ $ ./cgroup_cache_oom_test.sh 5M using Limit 5M for group ./cgroup_cache_oom_test.sh: line 46: 4689 Killed dd if=/dev/zero of=$OUT/zero bs=1M count=$count $ ./cgroup_cache_oom_test.sh 60M using Limit 60M for group ./cgroup_cache_oom_test.sh: line 46: 4692 Killed dd if=/dev/zero of=$OUT/zero bs=1M count=$count $ ./cgroup_cache_oom_test.sh 300M using Limit 300M for group 1000+0 records in 1000+0 records out 1048576000 bytes (1.0 GB) copied, 20.248 s, 51.8 MB/s $ ./cgroup_cache_oom_test.sh 2G using Limit 2G for group 1000+0 records in 1000+0 records out 1048576000 bytes (1.0 GB) copied, 2.85201 s, 368 MB/s [akpm@linux-foundation.org: tweak changelog, reordered the test to optimize for CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR=n] [hughd@google.com: fix deadlock with loop driver] Cc: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujtisu.com> Cc: Minchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org> Cc: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Cc: Ying Han <yinghan@google.com> Cc: Greg Thelen <gthelen@google.com> Cc: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Reviewed-by:

shmem knows for sure that the page is in swap cache when attempting to charge a page, because the cache charge entry function has a check for it. Only anon pages may be removed from swap cache already when trying to charge their swapin. Adjust the comment, though: '4969c119 mm: fix swapin race condition' added a stable PageSwapCache check under the page lock in the do_swap_page() before calling the memory controller, so it's unuse_pte()'s pte_same() that may fail.

Only anon and shmem pages in the swap cache are attempted to be charged multiple times, from every swap pte fault or from shmem_unuse(). No other pages require checking PageCgroupUsed(). Charging pages in the swap cache is also serialized by the page lock, and since both the try_charge and commit_charge are called under the same page lock section, the PageCgroupUsed() check might as well happen before the counter charging, let alone reclaim.

When shmem is charged upon swapin, it does not need to check twice whether the memory controller is enabled. Also, shmem pages do not have to be checked for everything that regular anon pages have to be checked for, so let shmem use the internal version directly and allow future patches to move around checks that are only required when swapping in anon pages.

It does not matter to __mem_cgroup_try_charge() if the passed mm is NULL or init_mm, it will charge the root memcg in either case. Also fix up the comment in __mem_cgroup_try_charge() that claimed the init_mm would be charged when no mm was passed. It's not really incorrect, but confusing. Clarify that the root memcg is charged in this case. Signed-off-by:

shmem page charges have not needed a separate charge type to tell them from regular file pages since 08e552c6 ("memcg: synchronized LRU"). Signed-off-by:
