sctp: Do not account for sizeof(struct sk_buff) in estimated rwnd
When checking whether a DATA chunk fits into the estimated rwnd a
full sizeof(struct sk_buff) is added to the needed chunk size. This
quickly exhausts the available rwnd space and leads to packets being
sent which are much below the PMTU limit. This can lead to much worse
performance.
The reason for this behaviour was to avoid putting too much memory
pressure on the receiver. The concept is not completely irational
because a Linux receiver does in fact clone an skb for each DATA chunk
delivered. However, Linux also reserves half the available socket
buffer space for data structures therefore usage of it is already
accounted for.
When proposing to change this the last time it was noted that this
behaviour was introduced to solve a performance issue caused by rwnd
overusage in combination with small DATA chunks.
Trying to reproduce this I found that with the sk_buff overhead removed,
the performance would improve significantly unless socket buffer limits
are increased.
The following numbers have been gathered using a patched iperf
supporting SCTP over a live 1 Gbit ethernet network. The -l option
was used to limit DATA chunk sizes. The numbers listed are based on
the average of 3 test runs each. Default values have been used for
sk_(r|w)mem.
binary_sysctl() calls sysctl_getname() which allocates from names_cache
slab usin __getname()
The matching function to free the name is __putname(), and not putname()
which should be used only to match getname() allocations.
This is because when auditing is enabled, putname() calls audit_putname
*instead* (not in addition) to __putname(). Then, if a syscall is in
progress, audit_putname does not release the name - instead, it expects
the name to get released when the syscall completes, but that will happen
only if audit_getname() was called previously, i.e. if the name was
allocated with getname() rather than the naked __getname(). So,
__getname() followed by putname() ends up leaking memory.

In this situation the mem hog task is skipped and oom killer kills another and
most probably innocent task with oom score greater than one.

nilfs2: potential integer overflow in nilfs_ioctl_clean_segments()
There is a potential integer overflow in nilfs_ioctl_clean_segments().

leads to out-of-bound access in nilfs_ioctl_move_blocks() and

The following check does not prevent the overflow because nsegs is also
controlled by the userspace and could be very large.

cpusets: stall when updating mems_allowed for mempolicy or disjoint nodemask
Kernels where MAX_NUMNODES > BITS_PER_LONG may temporarily see an empty
nodemask in a tsk's mempolicy if its previous nodemask is remapped onto a
new set of allowed cpuset nodes where the two nodemasks, as a result of
the remap, are now disjoint.
c0ff7453bb5c ("cpuset,mm: fix no node to alloc memory when changing
cpuset's mems") adds get_mems_allowed() to prevent the set of allowed
nodes from changing for a thread. This causes any update to a set of
allowed nodes to stall until put_mems_allowed() is called.
This stall is unncessary, however, if at least one node remains unchanged
in the update to the set of allowed nodes. This was addressed by 89e8a244b97e ("cpusets: avoid looping when storing to mems_allowed if one
node remains set"), but it's still possible that an empty nodemask may be
read from a mempolicy because the old nodemask may be remapped to the new
nodemask during rebind. To prevent this, only avoid the stall if there is
no mempolicy for the thread being changed.
This is a temporary solution until all reads from mempolicy nodemasks can
be guaranteed to not be empty without the get_mems_allowed()
synchronization.
Also moves the check for nodemask intersection inside task_lock() so that
tsk->mems_allowed cannot change. This ensures that nothing can set this
tsk's mems_allowed out from under us and also protects tsk->mempolicy.

On BookE, we need __va() & __pa() early in the boot process to access
the device tree.
Currently this has been defined as :
#define __va(x) ((void *)(unsigned long)((phys_addr_t)(x) -
PHYSICAL_START + KERNELBASE)
where:
PHYSICAL_START is kernstart_addr - a variable updated at runtime.
KERNELBASE is the compile time Virtual base address of kernel.
This won't work for us, as kernstart_addr is dynamic and will yield different
results for __va()/__pa() for same mapping.
e.g.,
Let the kernel be loaded at 64MB and KERNELBASE be 0xc0000000 (same as
PAGE_OFFSET).
In this case, we would be mapping 0 to 0xc0000000, and kernstart_addr = 64M
Now __va(1MB) = (0x100000) - (0x4000000) + 0xc0000000
= 0xbc100000 , which is wrong.
it should be : 0xc0000000 + 0x100000 = 0xc0100000
On platforms which support AMP, like PPC_47x (based on 44x), the kernel
could be loaded at highmem. Hence we cannot always depend on the compile
time constants for mapping.
Here are the possible solutions:
1) Update kernstart_addr(PHSYICAL_START) to match the Physical address of
compile time KERNELBASE value, instead of the actual Physical_Address(_stext).
The disadvantage is that we may break other users of PHYSICAL_START. They
could be replaced with __pa(_stext).
2) Redefine __va() & __pa() with relocation offset
a) A variable, say relocation_offset (like kernstart_addr), updated
at boot time. This impacts performance, as we have to load an additional
variable from memory.
__va(0x100000) = 0xc0000000 + 0x100000 = 0xc0100000
which is what we want.
I have implemented (3) in the following patch which has same cost of
operation as the existing one.

powerpc: Rename mapping based RELOCATABLE to DYNAMIC_MEMSTART for BookE
The current implementation of CONFIG_RELOCATABLE in BookE is based
on mapping the page aligned kernel load address to KERNELBASE. This
approach however is not enough for platforms, where the TLB page size
is large (e.g, 256M on 44x). So we are renaming the RELOCATABLE used
currently in BookE to DYNAMIC_MEMSTART to reflect the actual method.
The CONFIG_RELOCATABLE for PPC32(BookE) based on processing of the
dynamic relocations will be introduced in the later in the patch series.
This change would allow the use of the old method of RELOCATABLE for
platforms which can afford to enforce the page alignment (platforms with
smaller TLB size).
