We may leak the 'fwd_skb' we skb_copy() in ieee80211_rx_h_mesh_fwding() if we take the 'else' branch in the 'if' statement just below. If we take that branch we'll end up returning from the function and since we've not assigned 'fwd_skb' to anything at that point, we leak it when the variable goes out of scope. The simple fix seems to be to just kfree_skb(fwd_skb); just before we return. That is what this patch does. Signed-off-by:

Documentation states that the KeyMiss flag is only valid if RxFrameOK is unset, however empirical evidence has shown that this is false. When KeyMiss is set (and RxFrameOK is 1), the hardware passes a valid frame which has not been decrypted. The driver then falsely marks the frame as decrypted, and when using CCMP this corrupts the rx CCMP PN, leading to connection hangs. Signed-off-by:

When userspace attempts to authorize a station that is already authorized, nothing happens as you'd expect. Similarly, when it unauthorizes a station that is associated, nothing happens. However, when it unauthorizes a station that isn't even associated yet, we erroneously try to move the station to associated. This seems to happen occasionally as a result of a race when wpa_supplicant attempts to unauthorize the port in managed mode. Particularly with my new patches to keep stations, it can then move a station into ASSOCIATED state before we have really associated, which is really confusing. I introduced this bug in "mac80211: refactor station state transitions" Signed-off-by:

Same devices can generate interrupt without properly setting bit in INT_SOURCE_CSR register (spurious interrupt), what will cause IRQ line will be disabled by interrupts controller driver. We discovered that clearing INT_MASK_CSR stops such behaviour. We previously first read that register, and then clear all know interrupt sources bits and do not touch reserved bits. After this patch, we write to all register content (I believe writing to reserved bits on that register will not cause any problems, I tested that on my rt2800pci device). This fix very bad performance problem, practically making device unusable (since worked without interrupts), reported in: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=658451 We previously tried to workaround that issue in commit 4ba7d999 "rt2800pci: handle spurious interrupts", but it was reverted in commit 82e5fc2a as thing, that will prevent to detect real spurious interrupts.

This is basically just a cleanup. Large positive numbers get counted as negative but then get implicitly cast to positive again for the checks that matter. This does make a small difference in ipw_handle_promiscuous_rx() when we test "if (unlikely((len + IPW_RX_FRAME_SIZE) > skb_tailroom(rxb->skb)))" It should return there, but we don't return until a couple lines later when we test "if (len > IPW_RX_BUF_SIZE - sizeof(struct ipw_rt_hdr)) {". The difference is that in the second test the sizeof() means that there is an implied cast to unsigned. Signed-off-by:Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@oracle.com> Reviewed-by:

Andrew explains: - various misc stuff - Most of the rest of MM: memcg, threaded hugepages, others. - cpumask - kexec - kdump - some direct-io performance tweaking - radix-tree optimisations - new selftests code A note on this: often people will develop a new userspace-visible feature and will develop userspace code to exercise/test that feature. Then they merge the patch and the selftest code dies. Sometimes we paste it into the changelog. Sometimes the code gets thrown into Documentation/(!). This saddens me. So this patch creates a bare-bones framework which will henceforth allow me to ask people to include their test apps in the kernel tree so we can keep them alive. Then when people enhance or fix the feature, I can ask them to update the test app too. The infrastruture is terribly trivial at present - let's see how it evolves. - checkpoint/restart feature work. A note on this: this is a project by various mad Russians to perform c/r mainly from userspace, with various oddball helper code added into the kernel where the need is demonstrated. So rather than some large central lump of code, what we have is little bits and pieces popping up in various places which either expose something new or which permit something which is normally kernel-private to be modified. The overall project is an ongoing thing. I've judged that the size and scope of the thing means that we're more likely to be successful with it if we integrate the support into mainline piecemeal rather than allowing it all to develop out-of-tree. However I'm less confident than the developers that it will all eventually work! So what I'm asking them to do is to wrap each piece of new code inside CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE. So if it all eventually comes to tears and the project as a whole fails, it should be a simple matter to go through and delete all trace of it.

When we restore a task we need to set up text, data and data heap sizes from userspace to the values a task had at checkpoint time. This patch adds auxilary prctl codes for that. While most of them have a statistical nature (their values are involved into calculation of /proc/<pid>/statm output) the start_brk and brk values are used to compute an allowed size of program data segment expansion. Which means an arbitrary changes of this values might be dangerous operation. So to restrict access the following requirements applied to prctl calls: - The process has to have CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability granted. - For all opcodes except start_brk/brk members an appropriate VMA area must exist and should fit certain VMA flags, such as: - code segment must be executable but not writable; - data segment must not be executable. start_brk/brk values must not intersect with data segment and must not exceed RLIMIT_DATA resource limit. Still the main guard is CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability check. Note the kernel should be compiled with CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE support otherwise these prctl calls will return -EINVAL.

The mm->start_code/end_code, mm->start_data/end_data, mm->start_brk are involved into calculation of program text/data segment sizes (which might be seen in /proc/<pid>/statm) and into brk() call final address. For restore we need to know all these values. While mm->start_code/end_code already present in /proc/$pid/stat, the rest members are not, so this patch brings them in. The restore procedure of these members is addressed in another patch using prctl(). Signed-off-by:

Bring a new kernel selftests directory in tools/testing/selftests. To add a new selftest, create a subdirectory with the sources and a makefile that creates a target named "run_test" then add the subdirectory name to the TARGET var in tools/testing/selftests/Makefile and tools/testing/selftests/run_tests script. This can help centralizing and maintaining any useful selftest that developers usually tend to let rust in peace on some random server. Suggested-by:

Down, down in the deepest depths of GFP_NOIO page reclaim, we have shrink_page_list() calling __remove_mapping() calling __delete_from_ swap_cache() or __delete_from_page_cache(). You would not expect those to need much stack, but in fact they call radix_tree_delete(): which declares a 192-byte radix_tree_path array on its stack (to record the node,offsets it visits when descending, in case it needs to ascend to update them). And if any tag is still set [1], that calls radix_tree_tag_clear(), which declares a further such 192-byte radix_tree_path array on the stack. (At least we have interrupts disabled here, so won't then be pushing registers too.) That was probably a good choice when most users were 32-bit (array of half the size), and adding fields to radix_tree_node would have bloated it unnecessarily. But nowadays many are 64-bit, and each radix_tree_node contains a struct rcu_head, which is only used when freeing; whereas the radix_tree_path info is only used for updating the tree (deleting, clearing tags or setting tags if tagged) when a lock must be held, of no interest when accessing the tree locklessly. So add a parent pointer to the radix_tree_node, in union with the rcu_head, and remove all uses of the radix_tree_path. There would be space in that union to save the offset when descending as before (we can argue that a lock must already be held to exclude other users), but recalculating it when ascending is both easy (a constant shift and a constant mask) and uncommon, so it seems better just to do that. Two little optimizations: no need to decrement height when descending, adjusting shift is enough; and once radix_tree_tag_if_tagged() has set tag on a node and its ancestors, it need not ascend from that node again. perf on the radix tree test harness reports radix_tree_insert() as 2% slower (now having to set parent), but radix_tree_delete() 24% faster. Surely that's an exaggeration from rtth's artificially low map shift 3, but forcing it back to 6 still rates radix_tree_delete() 8% faster. [1] Can a pagecache tag (dirty, writeback or towrite) actually still be set at the time of radix_tree_delete()? Perhaps not if the filesystem is well-behaved. But although I've not tracked any stack overflow down to this cause, I have observed a curious case in which a dirty tag is set and left set on tmpfs: page migration's migrate_page_copy() happens to use __set_page_dirty_nobuffers() to set PageDirty on the newpage, and that sets PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY as a side-effect - harmless to a filesystem which doesn't use tags, except for this stack depth issue.

Some investigation of a transaction processing workload showed that a major consumer of cycles in __blockdev_direct_IO is the cache miss while accessing the block size. This is because it has to walk the chain from block_dev to gendisk to queue. The block size is needed early on to check alignment and sizes. It's only done if the check for the inode block size fails. But the costly block device state is unconditionally fetched. - Reorganize the code to only fetch block dev state when actually needed. Then do a prefetch on the block dev early on in the direct IO path. This is worth it, because there is substantial code run before we actually touch the block dev now. - I also added some unlikelies to make it clear the compiler that block device fetch code is not normally executed. This gave a small, but measurable improvement on a large database benchmark (about 0.3%) [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes] [sfr@canb.auug.org.au: using prefetch requires including prefetch.h] Signed-off-by:

This makes it possible to get from the inode to the request_queue with one less cache miss. Used in followon optimization. The livetime of the pointer is the same as the gendisk. This assumes that the queue will always stay the same in the gendisk while it's visible to block_devices. I think that's safe correct? Signed-off-by:

In get_more_blocks(), we use dio_count to calcuate fs_count and do some tricky things to increase fs_count if dio_count isn't aligned. But actually it still has some corner cases that can't be coverd. See the following example: dio_write foo -s 1024 -w 4096 (direct write 4096 bytes at offset 1024). The same goes if the offset isn't aligned to fs_blocksize. In this case, the old calculation counts fs_count to be 1, but actually we will write into 2 different blocks (if fs_blocksize=4096). The old code just works, since it will call get_block twice (and may have to allocate and create extents twice for filesystems like ext4). So we'd better call get_block just once with the proper fs_count. Signed-off-by:

Currently no udev events for memory hotplug "online" and "offline" are generated: # udevadm monitor # echo offline > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory4/state ==> No event When kdump is loaded, kexec detects the current memory configuration and stores it in the pre-allocated ELF core header. Therefore, for kdump it is necessary to reload the kdump kernel with kexec when the memory configuration changes (e.g. for online/offline hotplug memory). In order to do this automatically, udev rules should be used. This kernel patch adds udev events for "online" and "offline". Together with this kernel patch, the following udev rules for online/offline have to be added to "/etc/udev/rules.d/98-kexec.rules": SUBSYSTEM=="memory", ACTION=="online", PROGRAM="/etc/init.d/kdump restart" SUBSYSTEM=="memory", ACTION=="offline", PROGRAM="/etc/init.d/kdump restart" [sfr@canb.auug.org.au: fixups for class to subsystem conversion] Signed-off-by:

When two CPUs call panic at the same time there is a possible race condition that can stop kdump. The first CPU calls crash_kexec() and the second CPU calls smp_send_stop() in panic() before crash_kexec() finished on the first CPU. So the second CPU stops the first CPU and therefore kdump fails: 1st CPU: panic()->crash_kexec()->mutex_trylock(&kexec_mutex)-> do kdump 2nd CPU: panic()->crash_kexec()->kexec_mutex already held by 1st CPU ->smp_send_stop()-> stop 1st CPU (stop kdump) This patch fixes the problem by introducing a spinlock in panic that allows only one CPU to process crash_kexec() and the subsequent panic code. All other CPUs call the weak function panic_smp_self_stop() that stops the CPU itself. This function can be overloaded by architecture code. For example "tile" can use their lower-power "nap" instruction for that. Signed-off-by:Chris Metcalf <cmetcalf@tilera.com> Signed-off-by:

Currently it is possible to set the crash_size via the sysfs /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size even if no crash kernel memory has been defined with the "crashkernel" parameter. In this case "crashk_res" is not initialized and crashk_res.start = crashk_res.end = 0. Unfortunately resource_size(&crashk_res) returns 1 in this case. This breaks the s390 implementation of crash_(un)map_reserved_pages(). To fix the problem the correct "old_size" is now calculated in crash_shrink_memory(). "old_size is set to "0" if crashk_res is not initialized. With this change crash_shrink_memory() will do nothing, when "crashk_res" is not initialized. It will return "0" for "echo 0 > /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size" and -EINVAL for "echo [not zero] > /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size". In addition to that this patch also simplifies the "ret = -EINVAL" vs. "ret = 0" logic as suggested by Simon Horman. Signed-off-by:

When shrinking crashkernel memory using /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size for the newly added memory no RAM resource is created at the moment.

There is sometimes confusion between the global putback_lru_pages() in migrate.c and the static putback_lru_pages() in vmscan.c: rename the latter putback_inactive_pages(): it helps shrink_inactive_list() rather as move_active_pages_to_lru() helps shrink_active_list(). Remove unused scan_control arg from putback_inactive_pages() and from update_isolated_counts(). Move clear_active_flags() inside update_isolated_counts(). Move NR_ISOLATED accounting up into shrink_inactive_list() itself, so the balance is clearer. Do the spin_lock_irq() before calling putback_inactive_pages() and spin_unlock_irq() after return from it, so that it better matches update_isolated_counts() and move_active_pages_to_lru().

The isolate_pages() level in vmscan.c offers little but indirection: merge it into isolate_lru_pages() as the compiler does, and use the names nr_to_scan and nr_scanned in each case. Signed-off-by:

del_page_from_lru() repeats del_page_from_lru_list(), also working out which LRU the page was on, clearing the relevant bits. Decouple those functions: remove del_page_from_lru() and add page_off_lru(). Signed-off-by:
