      include/linux/property.h: fix typo/compile error · 37aa7271
      John Youn authored 
      This fixes commit d76eebfa ("include/linux/property.h: fix build
issues with gcc-4.4.4").

With that commit we get the following compile error when using the
PROPERTY_ENTRY_INTEGER_ARRAY macro.

 include/linux/property.h:201:39: error: `u32_data' undeclared (first
                 use in this function)
  PROPERTY_ENTRY_INTEGER_ARRAY(_name_, u32, _val_)
                                       ^
 include/linux/property.h:193:17: note: in definition of macro
                 `PROPERTY_ENTRY_INTEGER_ARRAY'
  { .pointer = { _type_##_data = _val_ } },  \
                 ^

This needs a '.' to reference the union member.  It seems this was just
overlooked here since it is done correctly in similar constructs in
other parts of the original commit.

This fix is in preparation of upcoming commits that will use this macro.

      ocfs2: fix deadlock on mmapped page in ocfs2_write_begin_nolock() · c33f0785
      Eric Ren authored 
      The testcase "mmaptruncate" of ocfs2-test deadlocks occasionally.

In this testcase, we create a 2*CLUSTER_SIZE file and mmap() on it;
there are 2 process repeatedly performing the following operations
respectively: one is doing memset(mmaped_addr + 2*CLUSTER_SIZE - 1, 'a',
1), while the another is playing ftruncate(fd, 2*CLUSTER_SIZE) and then
ftruncate(fd, CLUSTER_SIZE) again and again.

This is the backtrace when the deadlock happens:

   __wait_on_bit_lock+0x50/0xa0
   __lock_page+0xb7/0xc0
   ocfs2_write_begin_nolock+0x163f/0x1790 [ocfs2]
   ocfs2_page_mkwrite+0x1c7/0x2a0 [ocfs2]
   do_page_mkwrite+0x66/0xc0
   handle_mm_fault+0x685/0x1350
   __do_page_fault+0x1d8/0x4d0
   trace_do_page_fault+0x37/0xf0
   do_async_page_fault+0x19/0x70
   async_page_fault+0x28/0x30

In ocfs2_write_begin_nolock(), we first grab the pages and then allocate
disk space for this write; ocfs2_try_to_free_truncate_log() will be
called if -ENOSPC is returned; if we're lucky to get enough clusters,
which is usually the case, we start over again.

But in ocfs2_free_write_ctxt() the target page isn't unlocked, so we
will deadlock when trying to grab the target page again.

Also, -ENOMEM might be returned in ocfs2_grab_pages_for_write().
Another deadlock will happen in __do_page_mkwrite() if
ocfs2_page_mkwrite() returns non-VM_FAULT_LOCKED, and along with a
locked target page.

These two errors fail on the same path, so fix them by unlocking the
target page manually before ocfs2_free_write_ctxt().

Jan Kara helps me clear out the JBD2 part, and suggest the hint for root
cause.

Changes since v1:
1. Also put ENOMEM error case into consideration.

      mm: workingset: fix crash in shadow node shrinker caused by replace_page_cache_page() · 22f2ac51
      Johannes Weiner authored 
      Antonio reports the following crash when using fuse under memory pressure:

    ret_from_fork+0x3f/0x70

which corresponds to the following sanity check in the shadow node
tracking:

  BUG_ON(node->count & RADIX_TREE_COUNT_MASK);

The workingset code tracks radix tree nodes that exclusively contain
shadow entries of evicted pages in them, and this (somewhat obscure)
line checks whether there are real pages left that would interfere with
reclaim of the radix tree node under memory pressure.

While discussing ways how fuse might sneak pages into the radix tree
past the workingset code, Miklos pointed to replace_page_cache_page(),
and indeed there is a problem there: it properly accounts for the old
page being removed - __delete_from_page_cache() does that - but then
does a raw raw radix_tree_insert(), not accounting for the replacement
page.  Eventually the page count bits in node->count underflow while
leaving the node incorrectly linked to the shadow node LRU.

To address this, make sure replace_page_cache_page() uses the tracked
page insertion code, page_cache_tree_insert().  This fixes the page
accounting and makes sure page-containing nodes are properly unlinked
from the shadow node LRU again.

Also, make the sanity checks a bit less obscure by using the helpers for
checking the number of pages and shadows in a radix tree node.

Fixes: 449dd698 ("mm: keep page cache radix tree nodes in check")

 - Four fixes for "flush hint" support.

   Flush hints are addresses advertised by the ACPI 6+ NFIT (NVDIMM
   Firmware Interface Table) that when written and fenced guarantee that
   writes pending in platform write buffers (outside the cpu) have been
   flushed to media.  They might also be used by hypervisors as a
   trigger condition to flush guest-persistent memory ranges to storage.

    Fix a potential data corruption issue, a broken definition of the
    hint array, a wrong allocation size for the unit test implementation
    of the flush hint table, and missing NULL check in an error path.

    The unit test, while it did not prevent these bugs from being
    merged, at least triggered occasional crashes in advance of
    production usages.

 - Fix handling of ACPI DSM error status results.  The DSM mechanism
   allows communication with platform and memory device firmware.  We
   correctly parse known errors, but were silently ignoring others.

   Fix it to consistently fail any command with a non-zero status return
   that we otherwise do not interpret / handle.

      fault_in_multipages_readable() throws set-but-unused error · 90b75db6

This is a regression caused by commit e23d4159 ("fix

Fix it by re-adding the "(void)c" trick taht was previously used to make
the compiler think the variable is used.

      mm: check VMA flags to avoid invalid PROT_NONE NUMA balancing · 38e08854
      Lorenzo Stoakes authored 
      The NUMA balancing logic uses an arch-specific PROT_NONE page table flag
defined by pte_protnone() or pmd_protnone() to mark PTEs or huge page
PMDs respectively as requiring balancing upon a subsequent page fault.
User-defined PROT_NONE memory regions which also have this flag set will
not normally invoke the NUMA balancing code as do_page_fault() will send
a segfault to the process before handle_mm_fault() is even called.

However if access_remote_vm() is invoked to access a PROT_NONE region of
memory, handle_mm_fault() is called via faultin_page() and
__get_user_pages() without any access checks being performed, meaning
the NUMA balancing logic is incorrectly invoked on a non-NUMA memory
region.

A simple means of triggering this problem is to access PROT_NONE mmap'd
memory using /proc/self/mem which reliably results in the NUMA handling
functions being invoked when CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING is set.

This issue was reported in bugzilla (issue 99101) which includes some
simple repro code.

There are BUG_ON() checks in do_numa_page() and do_huge_pmd_numa_page()
added at commit c0e7cad9 to avoid accidentally provoking strange
behaviour by attempting to apply NUMA balancing to pages that are in
fact PROT_NONE.  The BUG_ON()'s are consistently triggered by the repro.

This patch moves the PROT_NONE check into mm/memory.c rather than
invoking BUG_ON() as faulting in these pages via faultin_page() is a
valid reason for reaching the NUMA check with the PROT_NONE page table
flag set and is therefore not always a bug.

      radix tree: fix sibling entry handling in radix_tree_descend() · 8d2c0d36
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      The fixes to the radix tree test suite show that the multi-order case is
broken.  The basic reason is that the radix tree code uses tagged
pointers with the "internal" bit in the low bits, and calculating the
pointer indices was supposed to mask off those bits.  But gcc will
notice that we then use the index to re-create the pointer, and will
avoid doing the arithmetic and use the tagged pointer directly.

This cleans the code up, using the existing is_sibling_entry() helper to
validate the sibling pointer range (instead of open-coding it), and
using entry_to_node() to mask off the low tag bit from the pointer.  And
once you do that, you might as well just use the now cleaned-up pointer
directly.

[ Side note: the multi-order code isn't actually ever used in the kernel
  right now, and the only reason I didn't just delete all that code is
  that Kirill Shutemov piped up and said:

    "Well, my ext4-with-huge-pages patchset[1] uses multi-order entries.
     It also converts shmem-with-huge-pages and hugetlb to them.

     I'm okay with converting it to other mechanism, but I need
     something.  (I looked into Konstantin's RFC patchset[2].  It looks
     okay, but I don't feel myself qualified to review it as I don't
     know much about radix-tree internals.)"
