      fix incorrect NR_FREE_PAGES accounting (appears like memory leak) · ef6c5be6
      Dave Hansen authored 
      There have been some 3.7-rc reports of vm issues, including some kswapd
bugs and, more importantly, some memory "leaks":

Commit 1fb3f8ca ("mm: compaction: capture a suitable high-order page
immediately when it is made available") took split_free_page() and
reused it for the compaction code.  It does something curious with
capture_free_page() (previously known as split_free_page()):

  int capture_free_page(struct page *page, int alloc_order,
  ...
          __mod_zone_page_state(zone, NR_FREE_PAGES, -(1UL << order));

  -       /* Split into individual pages */
  -       set_page_refcounted(page);
  -       split_page(page, order);
  +       if (alloc_order != order)
  +               expand(zone, page, alloc_order, order,
  +                       &zone->free_area[order], migratetype);

Note that expand() puts the pages _back_ in the allocator, but it does
not bump NR_FREE_PAGES.  We "return" 'alloc_order' worth of pages, but
we accounted for removing 'order' in the __mod_zone_page_state() call.

For the old split_page()-style use (order==alloc_order) the bug will not
trigger.  But, when called from the compaction code where we
occasionally get a larger page out of the buddy allocator than we need,
we will run in to this.

This patch simply changes the NR_FREE_PAGES manipulation to the correct
'alloc_order' instead of 'order'.

I've been able to repeatedly trigger this in my testing environment.
The amount "leaked" very closely tracks the imbalance I see in buddy
pages vs.  NR_FREE_PAGES.  I have confirmed that this patch fixes the
imbalance

      Pull networking updates from David Miller:

 1) inet6_csk_update_pmtu() must return NULL or non-NULL, so translate
    ERR_PTR to NULL, as needed.  Fix from Eric Dumazet.

 2) Fix copy&paste error in IRDA sir_dev ->set_speed method invocation,
    it was testing the NULL'ness of a different method to guard the
    call.  Fix from Alexander Shiyan.

 3) Fix build regression of xilinx driver, from Jeff Mahoney.

 4) Make XEN netfront (like XEN netback) handle compound pages in SKBs
    properly.  From Ian Campbell.

 5) Fix inverted logic of team_dev_queue_xmit() return value checks,
    from Jiri Pirko and Dan Carpenter.

 6) dma_poll_create() no longer allows a NULL device argument, breaking
    both ixp4xx drivers.  Fix from Xi Wang.

 7) ne2000 driver doesn't hook up the parent device properly, breaking
    udev matching.  Fix from Alan Cox.

 8) Locking and memory leak fixes in Near Field Communications layer.
    From Thierry Escande, Szymon Janc, and Waldemar Rymarkiewicz.

 9) sis900 resume regression, sis900_set_mode() is being called with the
    iomem pointer instead of the expected device private.  Fix from
    Francois Romieu.

10) Fix IBSS regression caused by uninitializing the ibss-internals
    before performing an emptyness check, from Simon WUnderlich.

11) Fix SNIFFER mode regression in iwlwifi driver, from Johannes Berg.

12) Fix task wedges in mwifiex_cmd_timeout_func(), from Bing Zhao.

13) Add back wireless sysfs directory, too much stuff depends upon it
    being there (actually I'd say it never should have been removed to
    begin with).  From Johannes Berg.

14) Fix hang introduced by suspend/resume changes in ath9k.  Fix from
    Sujith Manoharan.
