      drivers/net/phy/mdio_bus.c: call put_device on device_register() failure · 0c692d07
      Levente Kurusa authored
      
      
      It is required to call put_device() if device_register() fails, so that
      we give up the last reference to the device.  Calling put_device allows
      for mdiobus_release to be executed, kfreeing the bus.

      Currently we kfree the container of the device which failed to register.
      This is wrong as the last reference is not given up with a put_device
      call.  Also, now that we have put_device() callen, we no longer need the
      kfree as the new_ld->dev.release function will take care of kfreeing the
      associated memory.

      memblock, bootmem: restore goal for alloc_low · 07bacb38
      Yinghai Lu authored
      
      
      Now we have memblock_virt_alloc_low to replace original bootmem api in
      swiotlb.
      
      But we should not use BOOTMEM_LOW_LIMIT for arch that does not support
      CONFIG_NOBOOTMEM, as old api take 0.
      
      | #define alloc_bootmem_low(x) \
      |        __alloc_bootmem_low(x, SMP_CACHE_BYTES, 0)
      |#define alloc_bootmem_low_pages_nopanic(x) \
      |        __alloc_bootmem_low_nopanic(x, PAGE_SIZE, 0)
      
      and we have
       #define BOOTMEM_LOW_LIMIT __pa(MAX_DMA_ADDRESS)
      for CONFIG_NOBOOTMEM.
      
      Restore goal to 0 to fix ia64 crash, that Tony found.

      nfs: fix xattr inode op pointers when disabled · 5f13ee9c
      Christoph Hellwig authored
      
      
      Chris Mason reported a NULL pointer derefernence in generic_getxattr()
      that was due to sb->s_xattr being NULL.
      
      The reason is that the nfs #ifdef's for ACL support were misplaced, and
      the nfs3 inode operations had the xattr operation pointers set up, even
      though xattrs were not actually supported.  As a result, the xattr code
      was being called without the infrastructure having been set up.
      
      Move the #ifdef's appropriately.

      dma-debug: fix overlap detection · 59f2e7df
      Dan Williams authored
      Commit 0abdd7a8 ("dma-debug: introduce debug_dma_assert_idle()") was
      reworked to expand the overlap counter to the full range expressable by
      3 tag bits, but it has a thinko in treating the overlap counter as a
      pure reference count for the entry.
      
      Instead of deleting when the reference-count drops to zero, we need to
      delete when the overlap-count drops below zero.  Also, when detecting
      overflow we can just test the overlap-count > MAX rather than applying
      special meaning to 0.
      
      Regression report available here:
      http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=139073373932386&w=2
      
      
      
      This patch, now tested on the original net_dma case, sees the expected
      handful of reports before the eventual data corruption occurs.

      mm/readahead.c: fix do_readahead() for no readpage(s) · 58d5640e
      Mark Rutland authored
      Commit 63d0f0a3
      
       ("mm/readahead.c:do_readhead(): don't check for
      ->readpage") unintentionally made do_readahead return 0 for all valid
      files regardless of whether readahead was supported, rather than the
      expected -EINVAL.  This gets forwarded on to userspace, and results in
      sys_readahead appearing to succeed in cases that don't make sense (e.g.
      when called on pipes or sockets).  This issue is detected by the LTP
      readahead01 testcase.
      
      As the exact return value of force_page_cache_readahead is currently
      never used, we can simplify it to return only 0 or -EINVAL (when
      readpage or readpages is missing).  With that in place we can simply
      forward on the return value of force_page_cache_readahead in
      do_readahead.
      
      This patch performs said change, restoring the expected semantics.

      mm/slub.c: do not VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() for temporary on-stack pages · a0132ac0
      Dave Hansen authored
      Commit 309381fe
      
       ("mm: dump page when hitting a VM_BUG_ON using
      VM_BUG_ON_PAGE") added a bunch of VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() calls.
      
      But, most of the ones in the slub code are for _temporary_ 'struct
      page's which are declared on the stack and likely have lots of gunk in
      them.  Dumping their contents out will just confuse folks looking at
      bad_page() output.  Plus, if we try to page_to_pfn() on them or
      soemthing, we'll probably oops anyway.
      
      Turn them back in to VM_BUG_ON()s.

      slab: fix wrong retval on kmem_cache_create_memcg error path · ba3253c7
      Dave Jones authored
      On kmem_cache_create_memcg() error path we set 'err', but leave 's' (the
      new cache ptr) undefined.  The latter can be NULL if we could not
      allocate the cache, or pointing to a freed area if we failed somewhere
      later while trying to initialize it.  Initially we checked 'err'
      immediately before exiting the function and returned NULL if it was set
      ignoring the value of 's':
      
          out_unlock:
              ...
              if (err) {
                  /* report error */
                  return NULL;
              }
              return s;
      
      Recently this check was, in fact, broken by commit f717eb3a ("slab:
      do not panic if we fail to create memcg cache"), which turned it to:
      
          out_unlock:
              ...
              if (err && !memcg) {
                  /* report error */
                  return NULL;
              }
              return s;
      
      As a result, if we are failing creating a cache for a memcg, we will
      skip the check and return 's' that can contain crap.  Obviously, commit
      f717eb3a
      
       intended not to return crap on error allocating a cache for
      a memcg, but only to remove the error reporting in this case, so the
      check should look like this:
      
          out_unlock:
              ...
              if (err) {
                  if (!memcg)
                      return NULL;
                  /* report error */
                  return NULL;
              }
              return s;

      s390/compat: change parameter types from unsigned long to compat_ulong_t · 49382d93
      Heiko Carstens authored
      Change parameter types of s390's compat ipc syscall from unsigned long
      to compat_ulong_t to enforce zero extension of these parameters.
      
      This is not really a bug, since s390_ipc compat syscall is only a
      wrapper to the generic compat_sys_ipc() syscall, which performs correct
      zero and sign extension.
      
      This was introduced with commit 56e41d3c
      
       ("merge compat sys_ipc
      instances").

      fs/compat: fix lookup_dcookie() parameter handling · d8d14bd0
      Heiko Carstens authored
      Commit d5dc77bf
      
       ("consolidate compat lookup_dcookie()") coverted all
      architectures to the new compat_sys_lookup_dcookie() syscall.
      
      The "len" paramater of the new compat syscall must have the type
      compat_size_t in order to enforce zero extension for architectures where
      the ABI requires that the caller of a function performed zero and/or
      sign extension to 64 bit of all parameters.

      fs/compat: fix parameter handling for compat readv/writev syscalls · dfd948e3
      Heiko Carstens authored
      We got a report that the pwritev syscall does not work correctly in
      compat mode on s390.
      
      It turned out that with commit 72ec3516
      
       ("switch compat readv/writev
      variants to COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE") we lost the zero extension of a
      couple of syscall parameters because the some parameter types haven't
      been converted from unsigned long to compat_ulong_t.
      
      This is needed for architectures where the ABI requires that the caller
      of a function performed zero and/or sign extension to 64 bit of all
      parameters.

      mm: numa: initialise numa balancing after jump label initialisation · c297663c
      Mel Gorman authored
      The command line parsing takes place before jump labels are initialised
      which generates a warning if numa_balancing= is specified and
      CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL is set.
      
      On older kernels before commit c4b2c0c5
      
       ("static_key: WARN on usage
      before jump_label_init was called") the kernel would have crashed.  This
      patch enables automatic numa balancing later in the initialisation
      process if numa_balancing= is specified.

      mm/page-writeback.c: do not count anon pages as dirtyable memory · a1c3bfb2
      Johannes Weiner authored
      
      
      The VM is currently heavily tuned to avoid swapping.  Whether that is
      good or bad is a separate discussion, but as long as the VM won't swap
      to make room for dirty cache, we can not consider anonymous pages when
      calculating the amount of dirtyable memory, the baseline to which
      dirty_background_ratio and dirty_ratio are applied.
      
      A simple workload that occupies a significant size (40+%, depending on
      memory layout, storage speeds etc.) of memory with anon/tmpfs pages and
      uses the remainder for a streaming writer demonstrates this problem.  In
      that case, the actual cache pages are a small fraction of what is
      considered dirtyable overall, which results in an relatively large
      portion of the cache pages to be dirtied.  As kswapd starts rotating
      these, random tasks enter direct reclaim and stall on IO.
      
      Only consider free pages and file pages dirtyable.

      mm/page-writeback.c: fix dirty_balance_reserve subtraction from dirtyable memory · a804552b
      Johannes Weiner authored
      
      
      Tejun reported stuttering and latency spikes on a system where random
      tasks would enter direct reclaim and get stuck on dirty pages.  Around
      50% of memory was occupied by tmpfs backed by an SSD, and another disk
      (rotating) was reading and writing at max speed to shrink a partition.
      
      : The problem was pretty ridiculous.  It's a 8gig machine w/ one ssd and 10k
      : rpm harddrive and I could reliably reproduce constant stuttering every
      : several seconds for as long as buffered IO was going on on the hard drive
      : either with tmpfs occupying somewhere above 4gig or a test program which
      : allocates about the same amount of anon memory.  Although swap usage was
      : zero, turning off swap also made the problem go away too.
      :
      : The trigger conditions seem quite plausible - high anon memory usage w/
      : heavy buffered IO and swap configured - and it's highly likely that this
      : is happening in the wild too.  (this can happen with copying large files
      : to usb sticks too, right?)
      
      This patch (of 2):
      
      The dirty_balance_reserve is an approximation of the fraction of free
      pages that the page allocator does not make available for page cache
      allocations.  As a result, it has to be taken into account when
      calculating the amount of "dirtyable memory", the baseline to which
      dirty_background_ratio and dirty_ratio are applied.
      
      However, currently the reserve is subtracted from the sum of free and
      reclaimable pages, which is non-sensical and leads to erroneous results
      when the system is dominated by unreclaimable pages and the
      dirty_balance_reserve is bigger than free+reclaimable.  In that case, at
      least the already allocated cache should be considered dirtyable.
      
      Fix the calculation by subtracting the reserve from the amount of free
      pages, then adding the reclaimable pages on top.
