      lz4: add overrun checks to lz4_uncompress_unknownoutputsize() · 4a3a9904
      Greg Kroah-Hartman authored 
      Jan points out that I forgot to make the needed fixes to the
lz4_uncompress_unknownoutputsize() function to mirror the changes done
in lz4_decompress() with regards to potential pointer overflows.

The only in-kernel user of this function is the zram code, which only
takes data from a valid compressed buffer that it made itself, so it's
not a big issue.  But due to external kernel modules using this
function, it's better to be safe here.

      shmem: fix init_page_accessed use to stop !PageLRU bug · 66d2f4d2
      Hugh Dickins authored 
      Under shmem swapping load, I sometimes hit the VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!PageLRU)
in isolate_lru_pages() at mm/vmscan.c:1281!

Commit 2457aec6 ("mm: non-atomically mark page accessed during page
cache allocation where possible") looks like interrupted work-in-progress.

mm/filemap.c's call to init_page_accessed() is fine, but not mm/shmem.c's
- shmem_write_begin() is clearly wrong to use it after shmem_getpage(),
when the page is always visible in radix_tree, and often already on LRU.

Revert change to shmem_write_begin(), and use init_page_accessed() or
mark_page_accessed() appropriately for SGP_WRITE in shmem_getpage_gfp().

SGP_WRITE also covers shmem_symlink(), which did not mark_page_accessed()
before; but since many other filesystems use [__]page_symlink(), which did
and does mark the page accessed, consider this as rectifying an oversight.

      fs/seq_file: fallback to vmalloc allocation · 058504ed
      Heiko Carstens authored 
      There are a couple of seq_files which use the single_open() interface.
This interface requires that the whole output must fit into a single
buffer.

E.g.  for /proc/stat allocation failures have been observed because an
order-4 memory allocation failed due to memory fragmentation.  In such
situations reading /proc/stat is not possible anymore.

Therefore change the seq_file code to fallback to vmalloc allocations
which will usually result in a couple of order-0 allocations and hence
also work if memory is fragmented.

For reference a call trace where reading from /proc/stat failed:

  sadc: page allocation failure: order:4, mode:0x1040d0

      /proc/stat: convert to single_open_size() · f74373a5
      Heiko Carstens authored 
      These two patches are supposed to "fix" failed order-4 memory
allocations which have been observed when reading /proc/stat.  The
problem has been observed on s390 as well as on x86.

To address the problem change the seq_file memory allocations to
fallback to use vmalloc, so that allocations also work if memory is
fragmented.

This approach seems to be simpler and less intrusive than changing
/proc/stat to use an interator.  Also it "fixes" other users as well,
which use seq_file's single_open() interface.

This patch (of 2):

Use seq_file's single_open_size() to preallocate a buffer that is large
enough to hold the whole output, instead of open coding it.  Also
calculate the requested size using the number of online cpus instead of
possible cpus, since the size of the output only depends on the number
of online cpus.

      hwpoison: fix the handling path of the victimized page frame that belong to non-LRU · 0bc1f8b0
      Chen Yucong authored 
      Until now, the kernel has the same policy to handle victimized page
frames that belong to kernel-space(reserved/slab-subsystem) or
non-LRU(unknown page state).  In other word, the result of handling
either of these victimized page frames is (IGNORED | FAILED), and the
return value of memory_failure() is -EBUSY.

This patch is to avoid that memory_failure() returns very soon due to
the "true" value of (!PageLRU(p)), and it also ensures that
action_result() can report more precise information("reserved kernel",
"kernel slab", and "unknown page state") instead of "non LRU",
especially for memory errors which are detected by memory-scrubbing.

      mm:vmscan: update the trace-vmscan-postprocess.pl for event vmscan/mm_vmscan_lru_isolate · b27ebf77
      Chen Yucong authored 
      When using trace-vmscan-postprocess.pl for checking the file/anon rate
of scanning, we can find that it can not be performed.  At the same
time, the following message will be reported:

  WARNING: Format not as expected for event vmscan/mm_vmscan_lru_isolate
  'file' != 'contig_taken' Fewer fields than expected in format at
  ./trace-vmscan-postprocess.pl line 171, <FORMAT> line 76.

In trace-vmscan-postprocess.pl, (contig_taken, contig_dirty, and
contig_failed) are be associated respectively to (nr_lumpy_taken,
nr_lumpy_dirty, and nr_lumpy_failed) for lumpy reclaim.  Via commit
c53919ad ("mm: vmscan: remove lumpy reclaim"), lumpy reclaim had
already been removed by Mel, but the update for
trace-vmscan-postprocess.pl was missed.

      zram: revalidate disk after capacity change · 2e32baea
      Minchan Kim authored 
      Alexander reported mkswap on /dev/zram0 is failed if other process is
opening the block device file.

Step is as follows,

0. Reset the unused zram device.
1. Use a program that opens /dev/zram0 with O_RDWR and sleeps
   until killed.
2. While that program sleeps, echo the correct value to
   /sys/block/zram0/disksize.
3. Verify (e.g. in /proc/partitions) that the disk size is applied
   correctly. It is.
4. While that program still sleeps, attempt to mkswap /dev/zram0.
   This fails: mkswap: error: swap area needs to be at least 40 KiB

When I investigated, the size get by ioctl(fd, BLKGETSIZE64, xxx) on
mkswap to get a size of blockdev was zero although zram0 has right size by
2.

The reason is zram didn't revalidate disk after changing capacity so that
size of blockdev's inode is not uptodate until all of file is close.

This patch should fix the BUG.

      slub: fix off by one in number of slab tests · 8a5b20ae
      Joonsoo Kim authored 
      min_partial means minimum number of slab cached in node partial list.
So, if nr_partial is less than it, we keep newly empty slab on node
partial list rather than freeing it.  But if nr_partial is equal or
greater than it, it means that we have enough partial slabs so should
free newly empty slab.  Current implementation missed the equal case so
if we set min_partial is 0, then, at least one slab could be cached.
This is critical problem to kmemcg destroying logic because it doesn't
works properly if some slabs is cached.  This patch fixes this problem.

Fixes 91cb69620284 ("slub: make dead memcg caches discard free slabs
immediately").
