      mm: page_alloc: fix zone allocation fairness on UP · abe5f972
      Johannes Weiner authored
      The zone allocation batches can easily underflow due to higher-order
      allocations or spills to remote nodes.  On SMP that's fine, because
      underflows are expected from concurrency and dealt with by returning 0.
      But on UP, zone_page_state will just return a wrapped unsigned long,
      which will get past the <= 0 check and then consider the zone eligible
      until its watermarks are hit.
      
      Commit 3a025760 ("mm: page_alloc: spill to remote nodes before
      waking kswapd") already made the counter-resetting use
      atomic_long_read() to accomodate underflows from remote spills, but it
      didn't go all the way with it.
      
      Make it clear that these batches are expected to go negative regardless
      of concurrency, and use atomic_long_read() everywhere.
      
      Fixes: 81c0a2bb ("mm: page_alloc: fair zone allocator policy")

      Oleg noticed that a cleanup by Sylvain actually uncovered a bug; by
      calling perf_event_free_task() when failing sched_fork() we will not yet
      have done the memset() on ->perf_event_ctxp[] and will therefore try and
      'free' the inherited contexts, which are still in use by the parent

      mm: memcontrol: do not iterate uninitialized memcgs · 2f7dd7a4
      Johannes Weiner authored
      The cgroup iterators yield css objects that have not yet gone through
      css_online(), but they are not complete memcgs at this point and so the
      memcg iterators should not return them.  Commit d8ad3055 ("mm/memcg:
      iteration skip memcgs not yet fully initialized") set out to implement
      exactly this, but it uses CSS_ONLINE, a cgroup-internal flag that does
      not meet the ordering requirements for memcg, and so the iterator may
      skip over initialized groups, or return partially initialized memcgs.
      
      The cgroup core can not reasonably provide a clear answer on whether the
      object around the css has been fully initialized, as that depends on
      controller-specific locking and lifetime rules.  Thus, introduce a
      memcg-specific flag that is set after the memcg has been initialized in
      css_online(), and read before mem_cgroup_iter() callers access the memcg
      members.

      ring-buffer: Fix infinite spin in reading buffer · 24607f11
      Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) authored
      Commit 651e22f2 "ring-buffer: Always reset iterator to reader page"
      fixed one bug but in the process caused another one. The reset is to
      update the header page, but that fix also changed the way the cached
      reads were updated. The cache reads are used to test if an iterator
      needs to be updated or not.
      
      A ring buffer iterator, when created, disables writes to the ring buffer
      but does not stop other readers or consuming reads from happening.
      Although all readers are synchronized via a lock, they are only
      synchronized when in the ring buffer functions. Those functions may
      be called by any number of readers. The iterator continues down when
      its not interrupted by a consuming reader. If a consuming read
      occurs, the iterator starts from the beginning of the buffer.
      
      The way the iterator sees that a consuming read has happened since
      its last read is by checking the reader "cache". The cache holds the
      last counts of the read and the reader page itself.
      
      Commit 651e22f2 changed what was saved by the cache_read when
      the rb_iter_reset() occurred, making the iterator never match the cache.
      Then if the iterator calls rb_iter_reset(), it will go into an
      infinite loop by checking if the cache doesn't match, doing the reset
      and retrying, just to see that the cache still doesn't match! Which
      should never happen as the reset is suppose to set the cache to the
      current value and there's locks that keep a consuming reader from
      having access to the data.

      CIFS: Fix readpages retrying on reconnects · 1209bbdf
      Pavel Shilovsky authored
      If we got a reconnect error from async readv we re-add pages back
      to page_list and continue loop. That is wrong because these pages
      have been already added to the pagecache but page_list has pages that
      have not been added to the pagecache yet. This ends up with a general
      protection fault in put_pages after readpages. Fix it by not retrying
      the read of these pages and falling back to readpage instead.

      mm: numa: Do not mark PTEs pte_numa when splitting huge pages · abc40bd2
      Mel Gorman authored
      This patch reverts 1ba6e0b5 ("mm: numa: split_huge_page: transfer the
      NUMA type from the pmd to the pte"). If a huge page is being split due
      a protection change and the tail will be in a PROT_NONE vma then NUMA
      hinting PTEs are temporarily created in the protected VMA.
      
       VM_RW|VM_PROTNONE
      |-----------------|
            ^
            split here
      
      In the specific case above, it should get fixed up by change_pte_range()
      but there is a window of opportunity for weirdness to happen. Similarly,
      if a huge page is shrunk and split during a protection update but before
      pmd_numa is cleared then a pte_numa can be left behind.
      
      Instead of adding complexity trying to deal with the case, this patch
      will not mark PTEs NUMA when splitting a huge page. NUMA hinting faults
      will not be triggered which is marginal in comparison to the complexity
      in dealing with the corner cases during THP split.

      mm: migrate: Close race between migration completion and mprotect · d3cb8bf6
      Mel Gorman authored
      A migration entry is marked as write if pte_write was true at the time the
      entry was created. The VMA protections are not double checked when migration
      entries are being removed as mprotect marks write-migration-entries as
      read. It means that potentially we take a spurious fault to mark PTEs write
      again but it's straight-forward. However, there is a race between write
      migrations being marked read and migrations finishing. This potentially
      allows a PTE to be write that should have been read. Close this race by
      double checking the VMA permissions using maybe_mkwrite when migration
      completes.

      md/raid5: disable 'DISCARD' by default due to safety concerns. · 8e0e99ba
      NeilBrown authored
      It has come to my attention (thanks Martin) that 'discard_zeroes_data'
      is only a hint.  Some devices in some cases don't do what it
      says on the label.
      
      The use of DISCARD in RAID5 depends on reads from discarded regions
      being predictably zero.  If a write to a previously discarded region
      performs a read-modify-write cycle it assumes that the parity block
      was consistent with the data blocks.  If all were zero, this would
      be the case.  If some are and some aren't this would not be the case.
      This could lead to data corruption after a device failure when
      data needs to be reconstructed from the parity.
      
      As we cannot trust 'discard_zeroes_data', ignore it by default
      and so disallow DISCARD on all raid4/5/6 arrays.
      
      As many devices are trustworthy, and as there are benefits to using
      DISCARD, add a module parameter to over-ride this caution and cause
      DISCARD to work if discard_zeroes_data is set.
      
      If a site want to enable DISCARD on some arrays but not on others they
      should select DISCARD support at the filesystem level, and set the
      raid456 module parameter.
          raid456.devices_handle_discard_safely=Y
      
      As this is a data-safety issue, I believe this patch is suitable for
      -stable.
      DISCARD support for RAID456 was added in 3.7

      runtime suspend/resume paths to skip over display-related tasks to
      avoid locking issues on resume.
      
      Unfortunately, this resulted in the display hardware being left in
      a partially initialised state, preventing subsequent modesets from
      completing.
      
      This commit unifies the (many) suspend/resume paths, bringing back
      display (and fbcon) handling in the runtime paths.

      drm/nouveau: punt fbcon resume out to a workqueue · 634ffccc
      Ben Skeggs authored
      Preparation for some runtime pm fixes.  Currently we skip over fbcon
      suspend/resume in the runtime path, which causes issues on resume if
      fbcon tries to write to the framebuffer before the BAR subdev has
      been resumed to restore the BAR1 VM setup.
      
      As we might be woken up via a sysfs connector, we are unable to call
      fb_set_suspend() in the resume path as it could make its way down to
      a modeset and cause all sorts of locking hilarity.
      
      To solve this, we'll just delay the fbcon resume to a workqueue.
