      mm: add missing __PAGETABLE_{PUD,PMD}_FOLDED defines · c07af4f1
      Kirill A. Shutemov authored 
      Core mm expects __PAGETABLE_{PUD,PMD}_FOLDED to be defined if these page
table levels folded.  Usually, these defines are provided by
<asm-generic/pgtable-nopmd.h> and <asm-generic/pgtable-nopud.h>.

But some architectures fold page table levels in a custom way.  They
need to define these macros themself.  This patch adds missing defines.

The patch fixes mm->nr_pmds underflow and eliminates dead __pmd_alloc()
and __pud_alloc() on architectures without these page table levels.

      mm: page_alloc: revert inadvertent !__GFP_FS retry behavior change · cc873177
      Johannes Weiner authored 
      Historically, !__GFP_FS allocations were not allowed to invoke the OOM
killer once reclaim had failed, but nevertheless kept looping in the
allocator.

Commit 9879de73 ("mm: page_alloc: embed OOM killing naturally into
allocation slowpath"), which should have been a simple cleanup patch,
accidentally changed the behavior to aborting the allocation at that
point.  This creates problems with filesystem callers (?) that currently
rely on the allocator waiting for other tasks to intervene.

Revert the behavior as it shouldn't have been changed as part of a
cleanup patch.

Fixes: 9879de73 ("mm: page_alloc: embed OOM killing naturally into allocation slowpath")

      mm: memcontrol: use "max" instead of "infinity" in control knobs · d2973697
      Johannes Weiner authored 
      The memcg control knobs indicate the highest possible value using the
symbolic name "infinity", which is long and awkward to type.

Switch to the string "max", which is just as descriptive but shorter and
sweeter.

This changes a user interface, so do it before the release and before
the development flag is dropped from the default hierarchy.

      nilfs2: fix potential memory overrun on inode · 957ed60b
      Ryusuke Konishi authored 
      Each inode of nilfs2 stores a root node of a b-tree, and it turned out to
have a memory overrun issue:

Each b-tree node of nilfs2 stores a set of key-value pairs and the number
of them (in "bn_nchildren" member of nilfs_btree_node struct), as well as
a few other "bn_*" members.

Since the value of "bn_nchildren" is used for operations on the key-values
within the b-tree node, it can cause memory access overrun if a large
number is incorrectly set to "bn_nchildren".

For instance, nilfs_btree_node_lookup() function determines the range of
binary search with it, and too large "bn_nchildren" leads
nilfs_btree_node_get_key() in that function to overrun.

As for intermediate b-tree nodes, this is prevented by a sanity check
performed when each node is read from a drive, however, no sanity check
has been done for root nodes stored in inodes.

This patch fixes the issue by adding missing sanity check against b-tree
root nodes so that it's called when on-memory inodes are read from ifile,
inode metadata file.

u8 cannot contain a value larger than 0xff, hence drop the checks.
Wrapping the checks in unlikely() indicated some sense of humor, though ;-)

      rtc: ds1685: fix ds1685_rtc_alarm_irq_enable build error · 682354d4
      Arnd Bergmann authored 
      The newly added ds1685 driver causes a build error when enabled without
CONFIG_RTC_INTF_DEV:

  drivers/rtc/rtc-ds1685.c:919:22: error: 'ds1685_rtc_alarm_irq_enable' undeclared here (not in a function)
    .alarm_irq_enable = ds1685_rtc_alarm_irq_enable,

Apparently the driver was incorrectly changed to reflect the interface
change from 16380c15 ("RTC: Convert rtc drivers to use the
alarm_irq_enable method"), which removed the respective #ifdef from all
other rtc drivers.

This does the same change that was merged for the other drivers before and
removes the #ifdef, allowing the interrupts to be enabled through the
in-kernel rtc interface independent of the existence of /dev/rtc.

      memcg: fix low limit calculation · 4e54dede
      Michal Hocko authored 
      A memcg is considered low limited even when the current usage is equal to
the low limit.  This leads to interesting side effects e.g.
groups/hierarchies with no memory accounted are considered protected and
so the reclaim will emit MEMCG_LOW event when encountering them.

Another and much bigger issue was reported by Joonsoo Kim.  He has hit a
NULL ptr dereference with the legacy cgroup API which even doesn't have
low limit exposed.  The limit is 0 by default but the initial check fails
for memcg with 0 consumption and parent_mem_cgroup() would return NULL if
use_hierarchy is 0 and so page_counter_read would try to dereference NULL.

I suppose that the current implementation is just an overlook because the
documentation in Documentation/cgroups/unified-hierarchy.txt says:

  "The memory.low boundary on the other hand is a top-down allocated
  reserve.  A cgroup enjoys reclaim protection when it and all its
  ancestors are below their low boundaries"

Fix the usage and the low limit comparision in mem_cgroup_low accordingly.

  Unable to allocate RAM for process text/data, errno 12 SEGV

This problem happens because we allocate ordered page through
__get_free_pages() in do_mmap_private() in some cases and we try to free
individual pages rather than ordered page in free_page_series().  In
this case, freeing pages whose refcount is not 0 won't be freed to the
page allocator so memory leak happens.

To fix the problem, this patch changes __get_free_pages() to
alloc_pages_exact() since alloc_pages_exact() returns
physically-contiguous pages but each pages are refcounted.

Fixes: dbc8358c ("mm/nommu: use alloc_pages_exact() rather than its own implementation").
