commit 9dd59727 upstream. When using a block size greater than 512 bytes, the dm-integrity target allocates journal space inefficiently. It allocates one journal entry for each 512-byte chunk of data, fills an entry for each block of data and leaves the remaining entries unused. This issue doesn't cause data corruption, but all the unused journal entries degrade performance severely. For example, with 4k blocks and an 8k bio, it would allocate 16 journal entries but only use 2 entries. The remaining 14 entries were left unused. Fix this by adding the missing 'log2_sectors_per_block' shifts that are required to have each journal entry map to a full block.

commit ef427198 upstream. Commit f98a8bf9 ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Allow KVM_PPC_ALLOCATE_HTAB ioctl() to change HPT size", 2016-12-20) changed the behaviour of the KVM_PPC_ALLOCATE_HTAB ioctl so that it now allocates a new HPT and new revmap array if there was a previously-allocated HPT of a different size from the size being requested. In this case, we need to reset the rmap arrays of the memslots, because the rmap arrays will contain references to HPTEs which are no longer valid. Worse, these references are also references to slots in the new revmap array (which parallels the HPT), and the new revmap array contains random contents, since it doesn't get zeroed on allocation. The effect of having these stale references to slots in the revmap array that contain random contents is that subsequent calls to functions such as kvmppc_add_revmap_chain will crash because they will interpret the non-zero contents of the revmap array as HPTE indexes and thus index outside of the revmap array. This leads to host crashes such as the following.

commit 41cdf7a4 upstream. When authencesn is used together with digest_null a crash will occur on the decrypt path. This is because normally we perform a special setup to preserve the ESN, but this is skipped if there is no authentication. However, on the post-authentication path it always expects the preservation to be in place, thus causing a crash when digest_null is used. This patch fixes this by also skipping the post-processing when there is no authentication. Fixes: 104880a6 ("crypto: authencesn - Convert to new AEAD...")

commit b7dbcc0e upstream. nfs4_retry_setlk() sets the task's state to TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE within the same region protected by the wait_queue's lock after checking for a notification from CB_NOTIFY_LOCK callback. However, after releasing that lock, a wakeup for that task may race in before the call to freezable_schedule_timeout_interruptible() and set TASK_WAKING, then freezable_schedule_timeout_interruptible() will set the state back to TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE before the task will sleep. The result is that the task will sleep for the entire duration of the timeout. Since we've already set TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE in the locked section, just use freezable_schedule_timout() instead.

commit 442ce049 upstream. Prior to commit ca0daa27 ("NFS: Cache aggressively when file is open for writing"), NFS would revalidate, or invalidate, the file size when taking a lock. Since that commit it only invalidates the file content. If the file size is changed on the server while wait for the lock, the client will have an incorrect understanding of the file size and could corrupt data. This particularly happens when writing beyond the (supposed) end of file and can be easily be demonstrated with posix_fallocate(). If an application opens an empty file, waits for a write lock, and then calls posix_fallocate(), glibc will determine that the underlying filesystem doesn't support fallocate (assuming version 4.1 or earlier) and will write out a '0' byte at the end of each 4K page in the region being fallocated that is after the end of the file. NFS will (usually) detect that these writes are beyond EOF and will expand them to cover the whole page, and then will merge the pages. Consequently, NFS will write out large blocks of zeroes beyond where it thought EOF was. If EOF had moved, the pre-existing part of the file will be over-written. Locking should have protected against this, but it doesn't. This patch restores the use of nfs_zap_caches() which invalidated the cached attributes. When posix_fallocate() asks for the file size, the request will go to the server and get a correct answer.

commit ae7a609c upstream. Helge noticed that we flush the TLB page in flush_cache_page but not in flush_cache_range or flush_cache_mm. For a long time, we have had random segmentation faults building packages on machines with PA8800/8900 processors. These machines only support equivalent aliases. We don't see these faults on machines that don't require strict coherency. So, it appears TLB speculation sometimes leads to cache corruption on machines that require coherency. This patch adds TLB flushes to flush_cache_range and flush_cache_mm when coherency is required. We only flush the TLB in flush_cache_page when coherency is required. The patch also optimizes flush_cache_range. It turns out we always have the right context to use flush_user_dcache_range_asm and flush_user_icache_range_asm. The patch has been tested for some time on rp3440, rp3410 and A500-44. It's been boot tested on c8000. No random segmentation faults were observed during testing.

commit 610e1ae9 upstream. The commit b56fa687 ("ALSA: fm801: detect FM-only card earlier") rearranged initialization calls, i.e. it makes snd_fm801_chip_init() to be called before we register interrupt handler and set PCI bus mastering. Somehow it prevents FM801-AU to work properly. Thus, partially revert initialization order changed by commit mentioned above.

commit 9bcf66c7 upstream. When new directory 'DIR1' is created in a directory 'DIR0' with SGID bit set, DIR1 is expected to have SGID bit set (and owning group equal to the owning group of 'DIR0'). However when 'DIR0' also has some default ACLs that 'DIR1' inherits, setting these ACLs will result in SGID bit on 'DIR1' to get cleared if user is not member of the owning group. Fix the problem by moving posix_acl_update_mode() out of __jfs_set_acl() into jfs_set_acl(). That way the function will not be called when inheriting ACLs which is what we want as it prevents SGID bit clearing and the mode has been properly set by posix_acl_create() anyway.

Commit ff86bf0c ("alarmtimer: Rate limit periodic intervals") sets a minimum bound on the alarm timer interval. This minimum bound shouldn't be applied if the interval is 0. Otherwise, one-shot timers will be converted into periodic ones. This patch is specific to 4.11.y and 4.12.y. Older -stable trees have a slightly different patch, and 4.13-rc2 isn't impacted due to a later refactoring.

commit dea1d0f5 upstream. The move of the unpark functions to the control thread moved the BUG_ON() there as well. While it made some sense in the idle thread of the upcoming CPU, it's bogus to crash the control thread on the already online CPU, especially as the function has a return value and the callsite is prepared to handle an error return. Replace it with a WARN_ON_ONCE() and return a proper error code.

commit 9cd4f1a4 upstream. Vikram reported the following backtrace: BUG: scheduling while atomic: swapper/7/0/0x00000002 CPU: 7 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/7 Not tainted 4.9.32-perf+ #680 schedule schedule_hrtimeout_range_clock schedule_hrtimeout wait_task_inactive __kthread_bind_mask __kthread_bind __kthread_unpark kthread_unpark cpuhp_online_idle cpu_startup_entry secondary_start_kernel He analyzed correctly that a parked cpu hotplug thread of an offlined CPU was still on the runqueue when the CPU came back online and tried to unpark it. This causes the thread which invoked kthread_unpark() to call wait_task_inactive() and subsequently schedule() with preemption disabled. His proposed workaround was to "make sure" that a parked thread has scheduled out when the CPU goes offline, so the situation cannot happen. But that's still wrong because the root cause is not the fact that the percpu thread is still on the runqueue and neither that preemption is disabled, which could be simply solved by enabling preemption before calling kthread_unpark(). The real issue is that the calling thread is the idle task of the upcoming CPU, which is not supposed to call anything which might sleep. The moron, who wrote that code, missed completely that kthread_unpark() might end up in schedule(). The solution is simpler than expected. The thread which controls the hotplug operation is waiting for the CPU to call complete() on the hotplug state completion. So the idle task of the upcoming CPU can set its state to CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_IDLE and invoke complete(). This in turn wakes the control task on a different CPU, which then can safely do the unpark and kick the now unparked hotplug thread of the upcoming CPU to complete the bringup to the final target state.

commit 6e34e1f2 upstream. The busy percent calculated for the Knights Landing (KNL) platform is 1024 times smaller than the correct busy value. This causes performance to get stuck at the lowest ratio. The scaling algorithm used for KNL is performance-based, but it still looks at the CPU load to set the scaled busy factor to 0 when the load is less than 1 percent. In this case, since the computed load is 1024x smaller than it should be, the scaled busy factor will always be 0, irrespective of CPU business. This needs a fix similar to the turbostat one in commit b2b34dfe (tools/power turbostat: KNL workaround for %Busy and Avg_MHz). For this reason, add one more callback to processor-specific callbacks to specify an MPERF multiplier represented by a number of bit positions to shift the value of that register to the left to copmensate for its rate difference with respect to the TSC. This shift value is used during CPU busy calculations.

commit 6463a457 upstream. This problem shows up in 4.11 when netvsc driver is removed and reloaded. The problem is that the channel is closed during module removal and the tasklet for processing responses is disabled. When module is reloaded the channel is reopened but the tasklet is marked as disabled. The fix is to re-enable tasklet at the end of close which gets it back to the initial state. The issue is less urgent in 4.12 since network driver now uses NAPI and not the tasklet; and other VMBUS devices are rarely unloaded/reloaded.

commit 3e8f399d upstream. Currently the writeback statistics code uses a percpu counters to hold various statistics. Furthermore we have 2 families of functions - those which disable local irq and those which doesn't and whose names begin with double underscore. However, they both end up calling __add_wb_stats which in turn calls percpu_counter_add_batch which is already irq-safe. Exploiting this fact allows to eliminated the __wb_* functions since they don't add any further protection than we already have. Furthermore, refactor the wb_* function to call __add_wb_stat directly without the irq-disabling dance. This will likely result in better runtime of code which deals with modifying the stat counters. While at it also document why percpu_counter_add_batch is in fact preempt and irq-safe since at least 3 people got confused.

commit 104b4e51 upstream. Currently, percpu_counter_add is a wrapper around __percpu_counter_add which is preempt safe due to explicit calls to preempt_disable. Given how __ prefix is used in percpu related interfaces, the naming unfortunately creates the false sense that __percpu_counter_add is less safe than percpu_counter_add. In terms of context-safety, they're equivalent. The only difference is that the __ version takes a batch parameter. Make this a bit more explicit by just renaming __percpu_counter_add to percpu_counter_add_batch. This patch doesn't cause any functional changes. tj: Minor updates to patch description for clarity.

commit 65a4433a upstream. If load_balance() fails to migrate any tasks because all tasks were affined, load_balance() removes the source CPU from consideration and attempts to redo and balance among the new subset of CPUs. There is a bug in this code path where the algorithm considers all active CPUs in the system (minus the source that was just masked out). This is not valid for two reasons: some active CPUs may not be in the current scheduling domain and one of the active CPUs is dst_cpu. These CPUs should not be considered, as we cannot pull load from them. Instead of failing out of load_balance(), we may end up redoing the search with no valid CPUs and incorrectly concluding the domain is balanced. Additionally, if the group_imbalance flag was just set, it may also be incorrectly unset, thus the flag will not be seen by other CPUs in future load_balance() runs as that algorithm intends. Fix the check by removing CPUs not in the current domain and the dst_cpu from considertation, thus limiting the evaluation to valid remaining CPUs from which load might be migrated.

If they instead are aligned (ie: all fire at the same time) and the CPUs run in userspace, the jiffies change is only observed on tick exit and therefore the user cputime is accounted as system cputime. This is because the CPU that maintains timekeeping fires its tick at the same time as the others. It updates jiffies in the middle of the tick and the other CPUs see that update on IRQ exit: CPU 0 (timekeeper) CPU 1 ------------------- ------------- jiffies = N ... run in userspace for a jiffy tick entry tick entry (sees jiffies = N) set jiffies = N + 1 tick exit tick exit (sees jiffies = N + 1) account 1 jiffy as stime Fix this with using a nanosec clock source instead of jiffies. The cputime is then accumulated and flushed everytime the pending delta reaches a jiffy in order to mitigate the accounting overhead. [ fweisbec: changelog, rebase on struct vtime, field renames, add delta on cputime readers, keep idle vtime as-is (low overhead accounting), harmonize clock sources. ] Suggested-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Reported-by: Luiz Capitulino <lcapitulino@redhat.com> Tested-by: Luiz Capitulino <lcapitulino@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Wanpeng Li <wanpeng.li@hotmail.com> Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Acked-by: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Wanpeng Li <kernellwp@gmail.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1498756511-11714-6-git-send-email-fweisbec@gmail.comSigned-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Mel Gorman <mgorman@techsingularity.net> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
