mm: revert mremap pud_free anti-fix
Revert commit 1ecfd533f4c5 ("mm/mremap.c: call pud_free() after fail
calling pmd_alloc()").
The original code was correct: pud_alloc(), pmd_alloc(), pte_alloc_map()
ensure that the pud, pmd, pt is already allocated, and seldom do they
need to allocate; on failure, upper levels are freed if appropriate by
the subsequent do_munmap(). Whereas commit 1ecfd533f4c5 did an
unconditional pud_free() of a most-likely still-in-use pud: saved only
by the near-impossiblity of pmd_alloc() failing.

swap: fix set_blocksize race during swapon/swapoff
Fix race between swapoff and swapon. Swapoff used old_block_size from
swap_info outside of swapon_mutex so it could be overwritten by
concurrent swapon.
The race has visible effect only if more than one swap block device
exists with different block sizes (e.g. /dev/sda1 with block size 4096
and /dev/sdb1 with 512). In such case it leads to setting the blocksize
of swapped off device with wrong blocksize.
The bug can be triggered with multiple concurrent swapoff and swapon:
0. Swap for some device is on.
1. swapoff:
First the swapoff is called on this device and "struct swap_info_struct
*p" is assigned. This is done under swap_lock however this lock is
released for the call try_to_unuse().
2. swapon:
After the assignment above (and before acquiring swapon_mutex &
swap_lock by swapoff) the swapon is called on the same device.
The p->old_block_size is assigned to the value of block_size the device.
This block size should be the same as previous but sometimes it is not.
The swapon ends successfully.
3. swapoff:
Swapoff resumes, grabs the locks and mutex and continues to disable this
swap device. Now it sets the block size to value taken from swap_info
which was overwritten by swapon in 2.

Since pause is bounded by [min_pause, max_pause] where min_pause is also

max_pause calculation goes wrong:
The problem lies in the two "long = unsigned long" assignments in
bdi_max_pause() which might go negative if the highest bit is 1, and the
min_t(long, ...) check failed to protect it falling under 0. Fix all of
them by using "unsigned long" throughout the function.

fs: buffer: move allocation failure loop into the allocator
Buffer allocation has a very crude indefinite loop around waking the
flusher threads and performing global NOFS direct reclaim because it can
not handle allocation failures.
The most immediate problem with this is that the allocation may fail due
to a memory cgroup limit, where flushers + direct reclaim might not make
any progress towards resolving the situation at all. Because unlike the
global case, a memory cgroup may not have any cache at all, only
anonymous pages but no swap. This situation will lead to a reclaim
livelock with insane IO from waking the flushers and thrashing unrelated
filesystem cache in a tight loop.
Use __GFP_NOFAIL allocations for buffers for now. This makes sure that
any looping happens in the page allocator, which knows how to
orchestrate kswapd, direct reclaim, and the flushers sensibly. It also
allows memory cgroups to detect allocations that can't handle failure
and will allow them to ultimately bypass the limit if reclaim can not
make progress.

mm: memcg: handle non-error OOM situations more gracefully
Commit 3812c8c8f395 ("mm: memcg: do not trap chargers with full
callstack on OOM") assumed that only a few places that can trigger a
memcg OOM situation do not return VM_FAULT_OOM, like optional page cache
readahead. But there are many more and it's impractical to annotate
them all.
First of all, we don't want to invoke the OOM killer when the failed
allocation is gracefully handled, so defer the actual kill to the end of
the fault handling as well. This simplifies the code quite a bit for
added bonus.
Second, since a failed allocation might not be the abrupt end of the
fault, the memcg OOM handler needs to be re-entrant until the fault
finishes for subsequent allocation attempts. If an allocation is
attempted after the task already OOMed, allow it to bypass the limit so
that it can quickly finish the fault and invoke the OOM killer.

mm: hugetlb: initialize PG_reserved for tail pages of gigantic compound pages
Commit 11feeb498086 ("kvm: optimize away THP checks in
kvm_is_mmio_pfn()") introduced a memory leak when KVM is run on gigantic
compound pages.
That commit depends on the assumption that PG_reserved is identical for
all head and tail pages of a compound page. So that if get_user_pages
returns a tail page, we don't need to check the head page in order to
know if we deal with a reserved page that requires different
refcounting.
The assumption that PG_reserved is the same for head and tail pages is
certainly correct for THP and regular hugepages, but gigantic hugepages
allocated through bootmem don't clear the PG_reserved on the tail pages
(the clearing of PG_reserved is done later only if the gigantic hugepage
is freed).
This patch corrects the gigantic compound page initialization so that we
can retain the optimization in 11feeb498086. The cacheline was already
modified in order to set PG_tail so this won't affect the boot time of
large memory systems.

thread 1: call zswap_frontswap_invalidate_page to invalidate entry x.

- check the refcount in fail path, free memory if it is not referenced.
- use ZSWAP_SWAPCACHE_FAIL instead of ZSWAP_SWAPCACHE_NOMEM as the fail path

ipc/sem.c: synchronize semop and semctl with IPC_RMID
After acquiring the semlock spinlock, operations must test that the

- semctl() and exit_sem() would walk stale linked lists (ugly, but

- semtimedop() would sleep forever - and if woken up due to a signal -

The patch also:
- standardizes the tests for .deleted, so that all tests in one
function leave the function with the same approach.
- unconditionally tests for .deleted immediately after every call to
sem_lock - even it it means that for semctl(GETALL), .deleted will be
tested twice.
Both changes make the review simpler: After every sem_lock, there must
be a test of .deleted, followed by a goto to the cleanup code (if the
function uses "goto cleanup").
The only exception is semctl_down(): If sem_ids().rwsem is locked, then
the presence in ids->ipcs_idr is equivalent to !.deleted, thus no

usb-storage: add quirk for mandatory READ_CAPACITY_16
Some USB drive enclosures do not correctly report an

They answer with their capacity modulo 2TB.
The generic layer cannot cope with that. It must be told

Provide a macro ASM_EXCEPTIONTABLE_ENTRY() to create exception table

This patch is a first step toward creating a exception table which only

I was able to reduce the in-kernel exception table from 44kB to 22kB.
New defconfigs which should be able to boot on any 32/64bit machine.
Many drivers are selected to be compiled-in to avoid the need for an
additional initrd and still being able to boot.

Allow setting per-file compression via CIFS protocol
An earlier patch allowed setting the per-file compression flag
"chattr +c filename"
on an smb2 or smb3 mount, and also allowed lsattr to return
whether a file on a cifs, or smb2/smb3 mount was compressed.
This patch extends the ability to set the per-file
compression flag to the cifs protocol, which uses a somewhat
different IOCTL mechanism than SMB2, although the payload
(the flags stored in the compression_state) are the same.

dm snapshot: fix data corruption
This patch fixes a particular type of data corruption that has been
encountered when loading a snapshot's metadata from disk.
When we allocate a new chunk in persistent_prepare, we increment
ps->next_free and we make sure that it doesn't point to a metadata area
by further incrementing it if necessary.
When we load metadata from disk on device activation, ps->next_free is
positioned after the last used data chunk. However, if this last used
data chunk is followed by a metadata area, ps->next_free is positioned
erroneously to the metadata area. A newly-allocated chunk is placed at
the same location as the metadata area, resulting in data or metadata
corruption.
This patch changes the code so that ps->next_free skips the metadata
area when metadata are loaded in function read_exceptions.
The patch also moves a piece of code from persistent_prepare_exception
to a separate function skip_metadata to avoid code duplication.
