lib/rbtree.c declared __rb_erase_color() as __always_inline void, and then exported it with EXPORT_SYMBOL. This was because __rb_erase_color() must be exported for augmented rbtree users, but it must also be inlined into rb_erase() so that the dummy callback can get optimized out of that call site. (Actually with a modern compiler, none of the dummy callback functions should even be generated as separate text functions). The above usage is legal C, but it was unusual enough for some compilers to warn about it. This change makes things more explicit, with a static __always_inline ____rb_erase_color function for use in rb_erase(), and a separate non-inline __rb_erase_color function for use in rb_erase_augmented call sites.

Eric Wong reported on 3.7 and 3.8-rc2 that ppoll() got stuck when waiting for POLLIN on a local TCP socket. It was easier to trigger if there was disk IO and dirty pages at the same time and he bisected it to commit 1fb3f8ca ("mm: compaction: capture a suitable high-order page immediately when it is made available"). The intention of that patch was to improve high-order allocations under memory pressure after changes made to reclaim in 3.6 drastically hurt THP allocations but the approach was flawed. For Eric, the problem was that page->pfmemalloc was not being cleared for captured pages leading to a poor interaction with swap-over-NFS support causing the packets to be dropped. However, I identified a few more problems with the patch including the fact that it can increase contention on zone->lock in some cases which could result in async direct compaction being aborted early. In retrospect the capture patch took the wrong approach. What it should have done is mark the pageblock being migrated as MIGRATE_ISOLATE if it was allocating for THP and avoided races that way. While the patch was showing to improve allocation success rates at the time, the benefit is marginal given the relative complexity and it should be revisited from scratch in the context of the other reclaim-related changes that have taken place since the patch was first written and tested. This patch partially reverts commit 1fb3f8ca ("mm: compaction: capture a suitable high-order page immediately when it is made available"). Reported-and-tested-by:

While the kernel internals want pt_regs (and so it includes linux/ptrace.h), the user version of audit.h does not need it. So move the include out of the uapi version. This avoids issues where people want the audit defines and userland ptrace api. Including both the kernel ptrace and the userland ptrace headers can easily lead to failure. Signed-off-by:

The seccomp path was using AUDIT_ANOM_ABEND from when seccomp mode 1 could only kill a process. While we still want to make sure an audit record is forced on a kill, this should use a separate record type since seccomp mode 2 introduces other behaviors. In the case of "handled" behaviors (process wasn't killed), only emit a record if the process is under inspection. This change also fixes userspace examination of seccomp audit events, since it was considered malformed due to missing fields of the AUDIT_ANOM_ABEND event type. Signed-off-by:

Reverting these commits was reported to solve the problem for Alexander. Despite the reason for these commits, NUMA balancing is not the direct source of the problem. split_huge_page() expects the anon_vma lock to be exclusive to serialise the whole split operation. Ordinarily it is expected that the anon_vma lock would only be required when updating the avcs but THP also uses the anon_vma rwsem for collapse and split operations where the page lock or compound lock cannot be used (as the page is changing from base to THP or vice versa) and the page table locks are insufficient. This patch takes the anon_vma lock for write to serialise against parallel split_huge_page as THP expected before the conversion to rwsem.

Commit 5a505085 ("mm/rmap: Convert the struct anon_vma::mutex to an rwsem") turned anon_vma mutex to rwsem. However, the properly annotated nested locking in mm_take_all_locks() has been converted from mutex_lock_nest_lock(&anon_vma->root->mutex, &mm->mmap_sem); to down_write(&anon_vma->root->rwsem); which is incomplete, and causes the false positive report from lockdep below. Annotate the fact that mmap_sem is used as an outter lock to serialize taking of all the anon_vma rwsems at once no matter the order, using the down_write_nest_lock() primitive.

Currently free_all_bootmem_core ignores that node_min_pfn may be not multiple of BITS_PER_LONG. Eg commit 6dccdcbe ("mm: bootmem: fix checking the bitmap when finally freeing bootmem") shifts vec by lower bits of start instead of lower bits of idx. Also if (IS_ALIGNED(start, BITS_PER_LONG) && vec == ~0UL) assumes that vec bit 0 corresponds to start pfn, which is only true when node_min_pfn is a multiple of BITS_PER_LONG. Also loop in the else clause can double-free pages (e.g. with node_min_pfn == start == 1, map[0] == ~0 on 32-bit machine page 32 will be double-freed). This bug causes the following message during xtensa kernel boot: bootmem::free_all_bootmem_core nid=0 start=1 end=8000 BUG: Bad page state in process swapper pfn:00001 page:d04bd020 count:0 mapcount:-127 mapping: (null) index:0x2 page flags: 0x0() Call Trace: bad_page+0x8c/0x9c free_pages_prepare+0x5e/0x88 free_hot_cold_page+0xc/0xa0 __free_pages+0x24/0x38 __free_pages_bootmem+0x54/0x56 free_all_bootmem_core$part$11+0xeb/0x138 free_all_bootmem+0x46/0x58 mem_init+0x25/0xa4 start_kernel+0x11e/0x25c should_never_return+0x0/0x3be7 The fix is the following: - always align vec so that its bit 0 corresponds to start - provide BITS_PER_LONG bits in vec, if those bits are available in the map - don't free pages past next start position in the else clause.

The current calculation in pfn_to_bitidx assumes that (pfn - zone->zone_start_pfn) >> pageblock_order will return the same bit for all pfn in a pageblock. If zone_start_pfn is not aligned to pageblock_nr_pages, this may not always be correct. Consider the following with pageblock order = 10, zone start 2MB: pfn | pfn - zone start | (pfn - zone start) >> page block order ---------------------------------------------------------------- 0x26000 | 0x25e00 | 0x97 0x26100 | 0x25f00 | 0x97 0x26200 | 0x26000 | 0x98 0x26300 | 0x26100 | 0x98 This means that calling {get,set}_pageblock_migratetype on a single page will not set the migratetype for the full block. Fix this by rounding down zone_start_pfn when doing the bitidx calculation. For our use case, the effects of this bug were mostly tied to the fact that CMA allocations would either take a long time or fail to happen. Depending on the driver using CMA, this could result in anything from visual glitches to application failures. Signed-off-by:Laura Abbott <lauraa@codeaurora.org> Acked-by:

The tricky problem is this check: if (i++ >= max) icc (mis)optimizes this check as: if (++i > max) The check now becomes a no-op since max is MAX_ARG_STRINGS (0x7FFFFFFF). This is "allowed" by the C standard, assuming i++ never overflows, because signed integer overflow is undefined behavior. This optimization effectively reverts the previous commit 362e6663 ("exec.c, compat.c: fix count(), compat_count() bounds checking") that tries to fix the check. This patch simply moves ++ after the check. Signed-off-by:

The memmove span covers from (next+1) to the end of the array, and the index of next is (i+1), so the index of (next+1) is (i+2). So the size of remaining array elements is (type->cnt - (i + 2)). Since the remaining elements of the memblock array are move forward by one element and there is only one additional element caused by this bug. So there won't be any write overflow here but read overflow. It may read one more element out of the array address if the array happens to be full. Commonly it doesn't matter at all but if the array happens to be located at the end a memblock, it may cause a invalid read operation for the physical address doesn't exist. There are 2 *happens to be* here, so I think the probability is quite low, I don't know if any guy is haunted by this bug before. Mostly I think it's user-invisible. Signed-off-by:

Hugh Dickins pointed out that migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page() does not check page_count before migrating like base page migration and khugepage. He could not see why this was safe and he is right. The potential impact of the bug is avoided due to the limitations of NUMA balancing. The page_mapcount() check ensures that only a single address space is using this page and as THPs are typically private it should not be possible for another address space to fault it in parallel. If the address space has one associated task then it's difficult to have both a GUP pin and be referencing the page at the same time. If there are multiple tasks then a buggy scenario requires that another thread be accessing the page while the direct IO is in flight. This is dodgy behaviour as there is a possibility of corruption with or without THP migration. It would be While we happen to be safe for the most part it is shoddy to depend on such "safety" so this patch checks the page count similar to anonymous pages. Note that this does not mean that the page_mapcount() check can go away. If we were to remove the page_mapcount() check the the THP would have to be unmapped from all referencing PTEs, replaced with migration PTEs and restored properly afterwards. Signed-off-by:

In some cases, free_irq_cpu_rmap() is called while holding a lock (eg rtnl). This can lead to deadlocks, because it invokes flush_scheduled_work() which ends up waiting for whole system workqueue to flush, but some pending works might try to acquire the lock we are already holding. This commit uses reference-counting to replace irq_run_affinity_notifiers(). It also removes irq_run_affinity_notifiers() altogether.

This partially reverts commit 6c085a72 Author: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> Date: Mon Aug 20 11:40:46 2012 +0200 drm/i915: Track unbound pages Closer inspection of that patch revealed a bunch of unrelated changes in the shrinker: - The shrinker count is now in pages instead of objects. - For counting the shrinkable objects the old code only looked at the inactive list, the new code looks at all bounds objects (including pinned ones). That is obviously in addition to the new unbound list. - The shrinker cound is no longer scaled with sysctl_vfs_cache_pressure. Note though that with the default tuning value of vfs_cache_pressue = 100 this doesn't affect the shrinker behaviour. - When actually shrinking objects, the old code first dropped purgeable objects, then normal (inactive) objects. Only then did it, in a last-ditch effort idle the gpu and evict everything. The new code omits the intermediate step of evicting normal inactive objects. Safe for the first change, which seems benign, and the shrinker count scaling, which is a bit a different story, the endresult of all these changes is that the shrinker is _much_ more likely to fall back to the last-ditch resort of idling the gpu and evicting everything. The old code could only do that if something else evicted lots of objects meanwhile (since without any other changes the nr_to_scan will be smaller than the object count). Reverting the vfs_cache_pressure behaviour itself is a bit bogus: Only dentry/inode object caches should scale their shrinker counts with vfs_cache_pressure. Originally I've had that change reverted, too. But Chris Wilson insisted that it's too bogus and shouldn't again see the light of day. Hence revert all these other changes and restore the old shrinker behaviour, with the minor adjustment that we now first scan the unbound list, then the inactive list for each object category (purgeable or normal). A similar patch has been tested by a few people affected by the gen4/5 hangs which started to appear in 3.7, which some people bisected to the "drm/i915: Track unbound pages" commit. But just disabling the unbound logic alone didn't change things at all. Note that this patch doesn't fix the referenced bugs, it only hides the underlying bug(s) well enough to restore pre-3.7 behaviour. The key to achieve that is to massively reduce the likelyhood of going into a full gpu stall and evicting everything. v2: Reword commit message a bit, taking Chris Wilson's comment into account. v3: On Chris Wilson's insistency, do not reinstate the rather bogus vfs_cache_pressure change.

The latest change to allow trace options to be set on the command line also broke the trace_options file. The zeroing of the last byte of the option name that is echoed into the trace_option file was removed with the consolidation of some of the code. The compare between the option and what was written to the trace_options file fails because the string holding the data written doesn't terminate with a null character. A zero needs to be added to the end of the string copied from user space. Signed-off-by:Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
