      fs/namei.c: Add hashlen_string() function · fcfd2fbf
      George Spelvin authored
      We'd like to make more use of the highly-optimized dcache hash functions
      throughout the kernel, rather than have every subsystem create its own,
      and a function that hashes basic null-terminated strings is required
      for that.
      
      (The name is to emphasize that it returns both hash and length.)
      
      It's actually useful in the dcache itself, specifically d_alloc_name().
      Other uses in the next patch.
      
      full_name_hash() is also tweaked to make it more generally useful:
      1) Take a "char *" rather than "unsigned char *" argument, to
         be consistent with hash_name().
      2) Handle zero-length inputs.  If we want more callers, we don't want
         to make them worry about corner cases.

      mm: thp: calculate the mapcount correctly for THP pages during WP faults · 6d0a07ed
      Andrea Arcangeli authored
      This will provide fully accuracy to the mapcount calculation in the
      write protect faults, so page pinning will not get broken by false
      positive copy-on-writes.
      
      total_mapcount() isn't the right calculation needed in
      reuse_swap_page(), so this introduces a page_trans_huge_mapcount()
      that is effectively the full accurate return value for page_mapcount()
      if dealing with Transparent Hugepages, however we only use the
      page_trans_huge_mapcount() during COW faults where it strictly needed,
      due to its higher runtime cost.
      
      This also provide at practical zero cost the total_mapcount
      information which is needed to know if we can still relocate the page
      anon_vma to the local vma. If page_trans_huge_mapcount() returns 1 we
      can reuse the page no matter if it's a pte or a pmd_trans_huge
      triggering the fault, but we can only relocate the page anon_vma to
      the local vma->anon_vma if we're sure it's only this "vma" mapping the
      whole THP physical range.
      
      Kirill A. Shutemov discovered the problem with moving the page
      anon_vma to the local vma->anon_vma in a previous version of this
      patch and another problem in the way page_move_anon_rmap() was called.
      
      Andrew Morton discovered that CONFIG_SWAP=n wouldn't build in a
      previous version, because reuse_swap_page must be a macro to call
      page_trans_huge_mapcount from swap.h, so this uses a macro again
      instead of an inline function. With this change at least it's a less
      dangerous usage than it was before, because "page" is used only once
      now, while with the previous code reuse_swap_page(page++) would have
      called page_mapcount on page+1 and it would have increased page twice
      instead of just once.
      
      Dean Luick noticed an uninitialized variable that could result in a
      rmap inefficiency for the non-THP case in a previous version.

      ksm: fix conflict between mmput and scan_get_next_rmap_item · 7496fea9
      Zhou Chengming authored
      A concurrency issue about KSM in the function scan_get_next_rmap_item.
      
      task A (ksmd):				|task B (the mm's task):
      					|
      mm = slot->mm;				|
      down_read(&mm->mmap_sem);		|
      					|
      ...					|
      					|
      spin_lock(&ksm_mmlist_lock);		|
      					|
      ksm_scan.mm_slot go to the next slot;	|
      					|
      spin_unlock(&ksm_mmlist_lock);		|
      					|mmput() ->
      					|	ksm_exit():
      					|
      					|spin_lock(&ksm_mmlist_lock);
      					|if (mm_slot && ksm_scan.mm_slot != mm_slot) {
      					|	if (!mm_slot->rmap_list) {
      					|		easy_to_free = 1;
      					|		...
      					|
      					|if (easy_to_free) {
      					|	mmdrop(mm);
      					|	...
      					|
      					|So this mm_struct may be freed in the mmput().
      					|
      up_read(&mm->mmap_sem);			|
      
      As we can see above, the ksmd thread may access a mm_struct that already
      been freed to the kmem_cache.  Suppose a fork will get this mm_struct from
      the kmem_cache, the ksmd thread then call up_read(&mm->mmap_sem), will
      cause mmap_sem.count to become -1.
      
      As suggested by Andrea Arcangeli, unmerge_and_remove_all_rmap_items has
      the same SMP race condition, so fix it too.  My prev fix in function
      scan_get_next_rmap_item will introduce a different SMP race condition, so
      just invert the up_read/spin_unlock order as Andrea Arcangeli said.

      ocfs2: fix posix_acl_create deadlock · c25a1e06
      Junxiao Bi authored
      Commit 702e5bc6 ("ocfs2: use generic posix ACL infrastructure")
      refactored code to use posix_acl_create.  The problem with this function
      is that it is not mindful of the cluster wide inode lock making it
      unsuitable for use with ocfs2 inode creation with ACLs.  For example,
      when used in ocfs2_mknod, this function can cause deadlock as follows.
      The parent dir inode lock is taken when calling posix_acl_create ->
      get_acl -> ocfs2_iop_get_acl which takes the inode lock again.  This can
      cause deadlock if there is a blocked remote lock request waiting for the
      lock to be downconverted.  And same deadlock happened in ocfs2_reflink.
      This fix is to revert back using ocfs2_init_acl.

      ocfs2: revert using ocfs2_acl_chmod to avoid inode cluster lock hang · 5ee0fbd5
      Junxiao Bi authored
      Commit 743b5f14 ("ocfs2: take inode lock in ocfs2_iop_set/get_acl()")
      introduced this issue.  ocfs2_setattr called by chmod command holds
      cluster wide inode lock when calling posix_acl_chmod.  This latter
      function in turn calls ocfs2_iop_get_acl and ocfs2_iop_set_acl.  These
      two are also called directly from vfs layer for getfacl/setfacl commands
      and therefore acquire the cluster wide inode lock.  If a remote
      conversion request comes after the first inode lock in ocfs2_setattr,
      OCFS2_LOCK_BLOCKED will be set.  And this will cause the second call to
      inode lock from the ocfs2_iop_get_acl() to block indefinetly.
      
      The deleted version of ocfs2_acl_chmod() calls __posix_acl_chmod() which
      does not call back into the filesystem.  Therefore, we restore
      ocfs2_acl_chmod(), modify it slightly for locking as needed, and use that
      instead.

      net: mvneta: bm: fix dependencies again · 2073dbad
      Arnd Bergmann authored
      I tried to fix this before, but my previous fix was incomplete
      and we can still get the same link error in randconfig builds
      because of the way that Kconfig treats the
      
      	default y if MVNETA=y && MVNETA_BM_ENABLE
      
      line that does not actually trigger when MVNETA_BM_ENABLE=m,
      unlike I intended.
      Changing the line to use MVNETA_BM_ENABLE!=n however has
      the desired effect and hopefully makes all configurations
      work as expected.
