      vmscan: fix initial shrinker size handling · 635697c6
      Konstantin Khlebnikov authored
      
      
      A shrinker function can return -1, means that it cannot do anything
      without a risk of deadlock.  For example prune_super() does this if it
      cannot grab a superblock refrence, even if nr_to_scan=0.  Currently we
      interpret this -1 as a ULONG_MAX size shrinker and evaluate `total_scan'
      according to this.  So the next time around this shrinker can cause
      really big pressure.  Let's skip such shrinkers instead.
      
      Also make total_scan signed, otherwise the check (total_scan < 0) below
      never works.

      The advantage of kcalloc is, that will prevent integer overflows which could
      result from the multiplication of number of elements and size and it is also
      a bit nicer to read.

      drm/i915: fix infinite recursion on unbind due to ilk vt-d w/a · eb1711bb
      Daniel Vetter authored
      
      
      The recursion loop goes retire_requests->unbind->gpu_idle->retire_reqeusts.
      
      Every time we go through this we need a
      - active object that can be retired
      - and there are no other references to that object than the one from
        the active list, so that it gets unbound and freed immediately.
      Otherwise the recursion stops. So the recursion is only limited by the
      number of objects that fit these requirements sitting in the active list
      any time retire_request is called.
      
      Issue exercised by tests/gem_unref_active_buffers from i-g-t.
      
      There's been a decent bikeshed discussion whether it wouldn't be
      better to pass around a flag, but imo this is o.k. for such a limited
      case that only supports a w/a.

      fix apparmor dereferencing potentially freed dentry, sanitize __d_path() API · 02125a82
      Al Viro authored
      
      
      __d_path() API is asking for trouble and in case of apparmor d_namespace_path()
      getting just that.  The root cause is that when __d_path() misses the root
      it had been told to look for, it stores the location of the most remote ancestor
      in *root.  Without grabbing references.  Sure, at the moment of call it had
      been pinned down by what we have in *path.  And if we raced with umount -l, we
      could have very well stopped at vfsmount/dentry that got freed as soon as
      prepend_path() dropped vfsmount_lock.
      
      It is safe to compare these pointers with pre-existing (and known to be still
      alive) vfsmount and dentry, as long as all we are asking is "is it the same
      address?".  Dereferencing is not safe and apparmor ended up stepping into
      that.  d_namespace_path() really wants to examine the place where we stopped,
      even if it's not connected to our namespace.  As the result, it looked
      at ->d_sb->s_magic of a dentry that might've been already freed by that point.
      All other callers had been careful enough to avoid that, but it's really
      a bad interface - it invites that kind of trouble.
      
      The fix is fairly straightforward, even though it's bigger than I'd like:
      	* prepend_path() root argument becomes const.
      	* __d_path() is never called with NULL/NULL root.  It was a kludge
      to start with.  Instead, we have an explicit function - d_absolute_root().
      Same as __d_path(), except that it doesn't get root passed and stops where
      it stops.  apparmor and tomoyo are using it.
      	* __d_path() returns NULL on path outside of root.  The main
      caller is show_mountinfo() and that's precisely what we pass root for - to
      skip those outside chroot jail.  Those who don't want that can (and do)
      use d_path().
      	* __d_path() root argument becomes const.  Everyone agrees, I hope.
      	* apparmor does *NOT* try to use __d_path() or any of its variants
      when it sees that path->mnt is an internal vfsmount.  In that case it's
      definitely not mounted anywhere and dentry_path() is exactly what we want
      there.  Handling of sysctl()-triggered weirdness is moved to that place.
      	* if apparmor is asked to do pathname relative to chroot jail
      and __d_path() tells it we it's not in that jail, the sucker just calls
      d_absolute_path() instead.  That's the other remaining caller of __d_path(),
      BTW.
              * seq_path_root() does _NOT_ return -ENAMETOOLONG (it's stupid anyway -
      the normal seq_file logics will take care of growing the buffer and redoing
      the call of ->show() just fine).  However, if it gets path not reachable
      from root, it returns SEQ_SKIP.  The only caller adjusted (i.e. stopped
      ignoring the return value as it used to do).

      xfs: fix the logspace waiting algorithm · 9f9c19ec
      Christoph Hellwig authored
      
      
      Apply the scheme used in log_regrant_write_log_space to wake up any other
      threads waiting for log space before the newly added one to
      log_regrant_write_log_space as well, and factor the code into readable
      helpers.  For each of the queues we have add two helpers:
      
       - one to try to wake up all waiting threads.  This helper will also be
         usable by xfs_log_move_tail once we remove the current opportunistic
         wakeups in it.
       - one to sleep on t_wait until enough log space is available, loosely
         modelled after Linux waitqueues.
       
      And use them to reimplement the guts of log_regrant_write_log_space and
      log_regrant_write_log_space.  These two function now use one and the same
      algorithm for waiting on log space instead of subtly different ones before,
      with an option to completely unify them in the near future.
      
      Also move the filesystem shutdown handling to the common caller given
      that we had to touch it anyway.
