      mm, fs: check for fatal signals in do_generic_file_read() · 5abf186a
      Michal Hocko authored 
      do_generic_file_read() can be told to perform a large request from
userspace.  If the system is under OOM and the reading task is the OOM
victim then it has an access to memory reserves and finishing the full
request can lead to the full memory depletion which is dangerous.  Make
sure we rather go with a short read and allow the killed task to
terminate.

      Tetsuo has noticed that an OOM stress test which performs large write
requests can cause the full memory reserves depletion.  He has tracked
this down to the following path

the oom victim has access to all memory reserves to make a forward
progress to exit easier.  But iomap_file_buffered_write and other
callers of iomap_apply loop to complete the full request.  We need to
check for fatal signals and back off with a short write instead.

As the iomap_apply delegates all the work down to the actor we have to
hook into those.  All callers that work with the page cache are calling
iomap_write_begin so we will check for signals there.  dax_iomap_actor
has to handle the situation explicitly because it copies data to the
userspace directly.  Other callers like iomap_page_mkwrite work on a
single page or iomap_fiemap_actor do not allocate memory based on the
given len.

      base/memory, hotplug: fix a kernel oops in show_valid_zones() · a96dfddb
      Toshi Kani authored 
      Reading a sysfs "memoryN/valid_zones" file leads to the following oops
when the first page of a range is not backed by struct page.
show_valid_zones() assumes that 'start_pfn' is always valid for
page_zone().

 BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffea017a000000
 IP: show_valid_zones+0x6f/0x160

This issue may happen on x86-64 systems with 64GiB or more memory since
their memory block size is bumped up to 2GiB.  [1] An example of such
systems is desribed below.  0x3240000000 is only aligned by 1GiB and
this memory block starts from 0x3200000000, which is not backed by
struct page.

 BIOS-e820: [mem 0x0000003240000000-0x000000603fffffff] usable

Since test_pages_in_a_zone() already checks holes, fix this issue by
extending this function to return 'valid_start' and 'valid_end' for a
given range.  show_valid_zones() then proceeds with the valid range.

    large-memory x86-64 systems")'

      mm/memory_hotplug.c: check start_pfn in test_pages_in_a_zone() · deb88a2a
      Toshi Kani authored 
      Patch series "fix a kernel oops when reading sysfs valid_zones", v2.

A sysfs memory file is created for each 2GiB memory block on x86-64 when
the system has 64GiB or more memory.  [1] When the start address of a
memory block is not backed by struct page, i.e.  a memory range is not
aligned by 2GiB, reading its 'valid_zones' attribute file leads to a
kernel oops.  This issue was observed on multiple x86-64 systems with
more than 64GiB of memory.  This patch-set fixes this issue.

Patch 1 first fixes an issue in test_pages_in_a_zone(), which does not
test the start section.

Patch 2 then fixes the kernel oops by extending test_pages_in_a_zone()
to return valid [start, end).

Note for stable kernels: The memory block size change was made by commit
bdee237c ("x86: mm: Use 2GB memory block size on large-memory x86-64
systems"), which was accepted to 3.9.  However, this patch-set depends
on (and fixes) the change to test_pages_in_a_zone() made by commit
5f0f2887 ("mm/memory_hotplug.c: check for missing sections in
test_pages_in_a_zone()"), which was accepted to 4.4.

So, I recommend that we backport it up to 4.4.

[1] 'Commit bdee237c ("x86: mm: Use 2GB memory block size on
    large-memory x86-64 systems")'

This patch (of 2):

test_pages_in_a_zone() does not check 'start_pfn' when it is aligned by
section since 'sec_end_pfn' is set equal to 'pfn'.  Since this function
is called for testing the range of a sysfs memory file, 'start_pfn' is
always aligned by section.

Fix it by properly setting 'sec_end_pfn' to the next section pfn.

Also make sure that this function returns 1 only when the range belongs
to a zone.

      jump label: pass kbuild_cflags when checking for asm goto support · 35f860f9
      David Lin authored 
      Some versions of ARM GCC compiler such as Android toolchain throws in a
'-fpic' flag by default.  This causes the gcc-goto check script to fail
although some config would have '-fno-pic' flag in the KBUILD_CFLAGS.

This patch passes the KBUILD_CFLAGS to the check script so that the
script does not rely on the default config from different compilers.
