      fs: break out of iomap_file_buffered_write on fatal signals · d1908f52
      Michal Hocko authored 
      Tetsuo has noticed that an OOM stress test which performs large write
requests can cause the full memory reserves depletion.  He has tracked
this down to the following path

	__alloc_pages_nodemask+0x436/0x4d0
	alloc_pages_current+0x97/0x1b0
	__page_cache_alloc+0x15d/0x1a0          mm/filemap.c:728

	SyS_write+0x58/0xc0
	do_syscall_64+0x6c/0x200
	entry_SYSCALL64_slow_path+0x25/0x25

the oom victim has access to all memory reserves to make a forward
progress to exit easier.  But iomap_file_buffered_write and other
callers of iomap_apply loop to complete the full request.  We need to
check for fatal signals and back off with a short write instead.

As the iomap_apply delegates all the work down to the actor we have to
hook into those.  All callers that work with the page cache are calling
iomap_write_begin so we will check for signals there.  dax_iomap_actor
has to handle the situation explicitly because it copies data to the
userspace directly.  Other callers like iomap_page_mkwrite work on a
single page or iomap_fiemap_actor do not allocate memory based on the
given len.

      base/memory, hotplug: fix a kernel oops in show_valid_zones() · a96dfddb
      Toshi Kani authored 
      Reading a sysfs "memoryN/valid_zones" file leads to the following oops
when the first page of a range is not backed by struct page.
show_valid_zones() assumes that 'start_pfn' is always valid for
page_zone().

 BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffea017a000000
 IP: show_valid_zones+0x6f/0x160

This issue may happen on x86-64 systems with 64GiB or more memory since
their memory block size is bumped up to 2GiB.  [1] An example of such
systems is desribed below.  0x3240000000 is only aligned by 1GiB and
this memory block starts from 0x3200000000, which is not backed by
struct page.

 BIOS-e820: [mem 0x0000003240000000-0x000000603fffffff] usable

Since test_pages_in_a_zone() already checks holes, fix this issue by
extending this function to return 'valid_start' and 'valid_end' for a
given range.  show_valid_zones() then proceeds with the valid range.

      mm/memory_hotplug.c: check start_pfn in test_pages_in_a_zone() · deb88a2a
      Toshi Kani authored 
      Patch series "fix a kernel oops when reading sysfs valid_zones", v2.

A sysfs memory file is created for each 2GiB memory block on x86-64 when
the system has 64GiB or more memory.  [1] When the start address of a
memory block is not backed by struct page, i.e.  a memory range is not
aligned by 2GiB, reading its 'valid_zones' attribute file leads to a
kernel oops.  This issue was observed on multiple x86-64 systems with
more than 64GiB of memory.  This patch-set fixes this issue.

Patch 1 first fixes an issue in test_pages_in_a_zone(), which does not
test the start section.

Patch 2 then fixes the kernel oops by extending test_pages_in_a_zone()
to return valid [start, end).

Note for stable kernels: The memory block size change was made by commit
bdee237c ("x86: mm: Use 2GB memory block size on large-memory x86-64
systems"), which was accepted to 3.9.  However, this patch-set depends
on (and fixes) the change to test_pages_in_a_zone() made by commit
5f0f2887 ("mm/memory_hotplug.c: check for missing sections in
test_pages_in_a_zone()"), which was accepted to 4.4.

So, I recommend that we backport it up to 4.4.

[1] 'Commit bdee237c ("x86: mm: Use 2GB memory block size on
    large-memory x86-64 systems")'

This patch (of 2):

test_pages_in_a_zone() does not check 'start_pfn' when it is aligned by
section since 'sec_end_pfn' is set equal to 'pfn'.  Since this function
is called for testing the range of a sysfs memory file, 'start_pfn' is
always aligned by section.

Fix it by properly setting 'sec_end_pfn' to the next section pfn.

Also make sure that this function returns 1 only when the range belongs
to a zone.

      jump label: pass kbuild_cflags when checking for asm goto support · 35f860f9
      David Lin authored 
      Some versions of ARM GCC compiler such as Android toolchain throws in a
'-fpic' flag by default.  This causes the gcc-goto check script to fail
although some config would have '-fno-pic' flag in the KBUILD_CFLAGS.

This patch passes the KBUILD_CFLAGS to the check script so that the
script does not rely on the default config from different compilers.

The iput() from atomic context was a bad idea: if after igrab() somebody

would lead to inode eviction and therefore sleeping.

This patch should fix the situation.

      zswap: disable changing params if init fails · d7b028f5
      Dan Streetman authored 
      Add zswap_init_failed bool that prevents changing any of the module
params, if init_zswap() fails, and set zswap_enabled to false.  Change
'enabled' param to a callback, and check zswap_init_failed before
allowing any change to 'enabled', 'zpool', or 'compressor' params.

Any driver that is built-in to the kernel will not be unloaded if its
init function returns error, and its module params remain accessible for
users to change via sysfs.  Since zswap uses param callbacks, which
assume that zswap has been initialized, changing the zswap params after
a failed initialization will result in WARNING due to the param
callbacks expecting a pool to already exist.  This prevents that by
immediately exiting any of the param callbacks if initialization failed.

This was reported here:
  https://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=147004228125528&w=4

And fixes this WARNING:
  [  429.723476] WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 5140 at mm/zswap.c:503 __zswap_pool_current+0x56/0x60

The warning is just noise, and not serious.  However, when init fails,
zswap frees all its percpu dstmem pages and its kmem cache.  The kmem
cache might be serious, if kmem_cache_alloc(NULL, gfp) has problems; but
the percpu dstmem pages are definitely a problem, as they're used as
temporary buffer for compressed pages before copying into place in the
zpool.

If the user does get zswap enabled after an init failure, then zswap
will likely Oops on the first page it tries to compress (or worse, start
corrupting memory).

Fixes: 90b0fc26 ("zswap: change zpool/compressor at runtime")

      log2: make order_base_2() behave correctly on const input value zero · 29905b52
      Ard Biesheuvel authored 
      The function order_base_2() is defined (according to the comment block)
as returning zero on input zero, but subsequently passes the input into
roundup_pow_of_two(), which is explicitly undefined for input zero.

This has gone unnoticed until now, but optimization passes in GCC 7 may
produce constant folded function instances where a constant value of
zero is passed into order_base_2(), resulting in link errors against the
deliberately undefined '____ilog2_NaN'.

So update order_base_2() to adhere to its own documented interface.

[ See

  and follow-up discussion for more background. The gcc "optimization
  pass" is really just broken, but now the GCC trunk problem seems to
  have escaped out of just specially built daily images, so we need to
  work around it in mainline.    - Linus ]

      modversions: treat symbol CRCs as 32 bit quantities · 71810db2
      Ard Biesheuvel authored 
      The modversion symbol CRCs are emitted as ELF symbols, which allows us
to easily populate the kcrctab sections by relying on the linker to
associate each kcrctab slot with the correct value.

This has a couple of downsides:

 - Given that the CRCs are treated as memory addresses, we waste 4 bytes
   for each CRC on 64 bit architectures,

 - On architectures that support runtime relocation, a R_<arch>_RELATIVE
   relocation entry is emitted for each CRC value, which identifies it
   as a quantity that requires fixing up based on the actual runtime
   load offset of the kernel. This results in corrupted CRCs unless we
   explicitly undo the fixup (and this is currently being handled in the
   core module code)

 - Such runtime relocation entries take up 24 bytes of __init space
   each, resulting in a x8 overhead in [uncompressed] kernel size for
   CRCs.

Switching to explicit 32 bit values on 64 bit architectures fixes most
of these issues, given that 32 bit values are not treated as quantities
that require fixing up based on the actual runtime load offset.  Note
that on some ELF64 architectures [such as PPC64], these 32-bit values
are still emitted as [absolute] runtime relocatable quantities, even if
the value resolves to a build time constant.  Since relative relocations
are always resolved at build time, this patch enables MODULE_REL_CRCS on
powerpc when CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y, which turns the absolute CRC
references into relative references into .rodata where the actual CRC
value is stored.

So redefine all CRC fields and variables as u32, and redefine the
__CRC_SYMBOL() macro for 64 bit builds to emit the CRC reference using
inline assembler (which is necessary since 64-bit C code cannot use
32-bit types to hold memory addresses, even if they are ultimately
resolved using values that do not exceed 0xffffffff).  To avoid
potential problems with legacy 32-bit architectures using legacy
toolchains, the equivalent C definition of the kcrctab entry is retained
for 32-bit architectures.

Note that this mostly reverts commit d4703aef ("module: handle ppc64
relocating kcrctabs when CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y")

      kbuild: modversions: add infrastructure for emitting relative CRCs · 56067812
      Ard Biesheuvel authored 
      This add the kbuild infrastructure that will allow architectures to emit
vmlinux symbol CRCs as 32-bit offsets to another location in the kernel
where the actual value is stored. This works around problems with CRCs
being mistaken for relocatable symbols on kernels that self relocate at
runtime (i.e., powerpc with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y)

For the kbuild side of things, this comes down to the following:

 - introducing a Kconfig symbol MODULE_REL_CRCS

 - adding a -R switch to genksyms to instruct it to emit the CRC symbols
   as references into the .rodata section

 - making modpost distinguish such references from absolute CRC symbols
   by the section index (SHN_ABS)

 - making kallsyms disregard non-absolute symbols with a __crc_ prefix
