mm: compaction: validate pfn range passed to isolate_freepages_block
Commit 0bf380bc70ec ("mm: compaction: check pfn_valid when entering a
new MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES block during isolation for migration") added a
check for pfn_valid() when isolating pages for migration as the scanner
does not necessarily start pageblock-aligned.
Since commit c89511ab2f8f ("mm: compaction: Restart compaction from near
where it left off"), the free scanner has the same problem. This patch
makes sure that the pfn range passed to isolate_freepages_block() is
within the same block so that pfn_valid() checks are unnecessary.
In answer to Henrik's wondering why others have not reported this:
reproducing this requires a large enough hole with the right aligment to
have compaction walk into a PFN range with no memmap. Size and
alignment depends in the memory model - 4M for FLATMEM and 128M for
SPARSEMEM on x86. It needs a "lucky" machine.

MIPS: Fix endless loop when processing signals for kernel tasks
The problem occurs [1] when a kernel-mode task returns from a system
call with a pending signal.
A real-life scenario is a child of 'khelper' returning from a failed
kernel_execve() in ____call_usermodehelper() [ kernel/kmod.c ].
kernel_execve() fails due to a pending SIGKILL, which is the result of
"kill -9 -1" (at least, busybox's init does it upon reboot).
The loop is as follows:
* syscall_exit_work:
- work_pending: // start_of_the_loop
- work_notifysig:
- do_notify_resume()
- do_signal()
- if (!user_mode(regs)) return;
- resume_userspace // TIF_SIGPENDING is still set
- work_pending // so we call work_pending => goto
// start_of_the_loop

vfs: avoid "attempt to access beyond end of device" warnings
The block device access simplification that avoided accessing the (racy)
block size information (commit bbec0270bdd8: "blkdev_max_block: make
private to fs/buffer.c") no longer checks the maximum block size in the
block mapping path.
That was _almost_ as simple as just removing the code entirely, because
the readers and writers all check the size of the device anyway, so
under normal circumstances it "just worked".
However, the block size may be such that the end of the device may
straddle one single buffer_head. At which point we may still want to
access the end of the device, but the buffer we use to access it
partially extends past the end.
The 'bd_set_size()' function intentionally sets the block size to avoid
this, but mounting the device - or setting the block size by hand to
some other value - can modify that block size.
So instead, teach 'submit_bh()' about the special case of the buffer
head straddling the end of the device, and turning such an access into a
smaller IO access, avoiding the problem.
This, btw, also means that unlike before, we can now access the whole
device regardless of device block size setting. So now, even if the
device size is only 512-byte aligned, we can read and write even the
last sector even when having a much bigger block size for accessing the
rest of the device.
So with this, we could now get rid of the 'bd_set_size()' block size
code entirely - resulting in faster IO for the common case - but that
would be a separate patch.

MIPS: Avoid mcheck by flushing page range in huge_ptep_set_access_flags()
Problem:
1) Huge page mapping of anonymous memory is initially invalid. Will be

3) TLB Refill exception handler fill TLB with a normal (4K sized)
invalid page at the end of the huge mapping virtual address range.
4) Userspace restarted, and re-attempts the store at the end of the
huge mapping.
5) Page from #3 is invalid, we get a fault and go to the hugepage
fault handler. This tries to map a huge page and calls
huge_ptep_set_access_flags() to install the mapping.
6) We just call the generic ptep_set_access_flags() to set up the page
tables, but the flush there assumes a normal (4K sized) page and
only tries to flush the first part of the huge page virtual address
out of the TLB, since the existing entry from step #3 doesn't
conflict, nothing is flushed.
7) We attempt to load the mapping into the TLB, but because it
conflicts with the entry from step #3, we get a Machine Check

With commit 8852aac ("workqueue: mod_delayed_work_on() shouldn't queue

long-standing bug and queued for 3.8 but I found out about a
regression introduced during 3.7-rc1 two days ago, so I'm sending out
the two fixes together.
The first (long-standing) one is rescuer_thread() entering exit path
w/ TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE. It only triggers on workqueue destructions
which isn't very frequent and the exit path can usually survive being
called with TASK_INTERRUPT, so it was hidden pretty well. Apparently,
if you're reiserfs, this could lead to the exiting kthread sleeping
indefinitely holding a mutex, which is never good.
The fix is simple - restoring TASK_RUNNING before returning from the
kthread function.
The second one is introduced by the new mod_delayed_work().
mod_delayed_work() was missing special case handling for 0 delay.
Instead of queueing the work item immediately, it queued the timer
which expires on the closest next tick. Some users of the new
function converted from "[__]cancel_delayed_work() +
queue_delayed_work()" combination became unhappy with the extra delay.
Block unplugging led to noticeably higher number of context switches
and intel 6250 wireless failed to associate with WPA-Enterprise

logic from queue_delayed_work_on() should be moved to
__queue_delayed_work() which is shared by both queue_delayed_work_on()
and mod_delayed_work_on().
The first one is difficult to trigger and the failure mode for the
latter isn't completely catastrophic, so missing these two for 3.7

is zero, that [__]cancel_delayed_work() + queue_delayed_work_on()
makes the target item immediately executable while
mod_delayed_work_on() may induce delay of upto a full tick.
This somewhat subtle difference breaks some of the converted users.
e.g. block queue plugging uses delayed_work for deferred processing
and uses mod_delayed_work_on() when the queue needs to be immediately
unplugged. The above problem manifested as noticeably higher number
of context switches under certain circumstances.
The difference in behavior was caused by missing special case handling
for 0 delay in mod_delayed_work_on() compared to
queue_delayed_work_on(). Joonsoo Kim posted a patch to add it -
("workqueue: optimize mod_delayed_work_on() when @delay == 0")[1].
The patch was queued for 3.8 but it was described as optimization and
I missed that it was a correctness issue.
As both queue_delayed_work_on() and mod_delayed_work_on() use
__queue_delayed_work() for queueing, it seems that the better approach
is to move the 0 delay special handling to the function instead of
duplicating it in mod_delayed_work_on().
Fix the problem by moving 0 delay special case handling from
queue_delayed_work_on() to __queue_delayed_work(). This replaces
Joonsoo's patch.

x86, fpu: Avoid FPU lazy restore after suspend
When a cpu enters S3 state, the FPU state is lost.
After resuming for S3, if we try to lazy restore the FPU for a process running

Ensure that "fpu_owner_task" is properly invalided when (re-)initializing a CPU,
so nobody will try to lazy restore a state which doesn't exist in the hardware.
Tested with a 64-bit kernel on a 4-core Ivybridge CPU with eagerfpu=off,
by doing thousands of suspend/resume cycles with 4 processes doing FPU
operations running. Without the patch, a process is killed after a
few hundreds cycles by a SIGFPE.

mm: avoid waking kswapd for THP allocations when compaction is deferred or contended
With "mm: vmscan: scale number of pages reclaimed by reclaim/compaction
based on failures" reverted, Zdenek Kabelac reported the following
Hmm, so it's just took longer to hit the problem and observe
kswapd0 spinning on my CPU again - it's not as endless like before -
but still it easily eats minutes - it helps to turn off Firefox
or TB (memory hungry apps) so kswapd0 stops soon - and restart
those apps again. (And I still have like >1GB of cached memory)
The sysrq+m indicates the system has no swap so it'll never reclaim
anonymous pages as part of reclaim/compaction. That is one part of the
problem but not the root cause as file-backed pages could also be
reclaimed.
The likely underlying problem is that kswapd is woken up or kept awake
for each THP allocation request in the page allocator slow path.
If compaction fails for the requesting process then compaction will be
deferred for a time and direct reclaim is avoided. However, if there
are a storm of THP requests that are simply rejected, it will still be
the the case that kswapd is awake for a prolonged period of time as
pgdat->kswapd_max_order is updated each time. This is noticed by the
main kswapd() loop and it will not call kswapd_try_to_sleep(). Instead
it will loopp, shrinking a small number of pages and calling
shrink_slab() on each iteration.
This patch defers when kswapd gets woken up for THP allocations. For
!THP allocations, kswapd is always woken up. For THP allocations,
kswapd is woken up iff the process is willing to enter into direct
reclaim/compaction.

mm: vmscan: fix endless loop in kswapd balancing
Kswapd does not in all places have the same criteria for a balanced
zone. Zones are only being reclaimed when their high watermark is
breached, but compaction checks loop over the zonelist again when the
zone does not meet the low watermark plus two times the size of the
allocation. This gets kswapd stuck in an endless loop over a small
zone, like the DMA zone, where the high watermark is smaller than the
compaction requirement.
Add a function, zone_balanced(), that checks the watermark, and, for
higher order allocations, if compaction has enough free memory. Then
use it uniformly to check for balanced zones.
This makes sure that when the compaction watermark is not met, at least
reclaim happens and progress is made - or the zone is declared
unreclaimable at some point and skipped entirely.

This makes the buffer size handling be a per-page thing, which allows us

size from the inode, but we can do that with ACCESS_ONCE(), so that even
if the size is changing, we get a consistent value.
This doesn't convert all functions - many of the buffer functions are
used purely by filesystems, which in turn results in the buffer size
being fixed at mount-time. So they don't have the same consistency

bonding: fix miimon and arp_interval delayed work race conditions
First I would give three observations which will be used later.
Observation 1: if (delayed_work_pending(wq)) cancel_delayed_work(wq)
This usage is wrong because the pending bit is cleared just before the
work's fn is executed and if the function re-arms itself we might end up
with the work still running. It's safe to call cancel_delayed_work_sync()
even if the work is not queued at all.
Observation 2: Use of INIT_DELAYED_WORK()
Work needs to be initialized only once prior to (de/en)queueing.
Observation 3: IFF_UP is set only after ndo_open is called
Related race conditions:
1. Race between bonding_store_miimon() and bonding_store_arp_interval()
Because of Obs.1 we can end up having both works enqueued.
2. Multiple races with INIT_DELAYED_WORK()
Since the works are not protected by anything between INIT_DELAYED_WORK()
and calls to (en/de)queue it is possible for races between the following
functions:
(races are also possible between the calls to INIT_DELAYED_WORK()
and workqueue code)
bonding_store_miimon() - bonding_store_arp_interval(), bond_close(),
bond_open(), enqueued functions
bonding_store_arp_interval() - bonding_store_miimon(), bond_close(),
bond_open(), enqueued functions
3. By Obs.1 we need to change bond_cancel_all()
Bugs 1 and 2 are fixed by moving all work initializations in bond_open
which by Obs. 2 and Obs. 3 and the fact that we make sure that all works
are cancelled in bond_close(), is guaranteed not to have any work
enqueued.
Also RTNL lock is now acquired in bonding_store_miimon/arp_interval so
they can't race with bond_close and bond_open. The opposing work is
cancelled only if the IFF_UP flag is set and it is cancelled
unconditionally. The opposing work is already cancelled if the interface
is down so no need to cancel it again. This way we don't need new
synchronizations for the bonding workqueue. These bugs (and fixes) are
tied together and belong in the same patch.
Note: I have left 1 line intentionally over 80 characters (84) because I

incidentally, declaring a local variable as __user (!) to make
sparse STFU is really sick. Especially since sparse had been
100% right - it *is* a bug.

If a single descriptor crosses a region, the
second chunk length should be decremented
by size translated so far, instead it includes
the full descriptor length.

irda: irttp: fix memory leak in irttp_open_tsap() error path
Cleanup the memory we allocated earlier in irttp_open_tsap() when we hit
this error path. The leak goes back to at least 1da177e4

sctp: Error in calculation of RTTvar
The calculation of RTTVAR involves the subtraction of two unsigned
numbers which
may causes rollover and results in very high values of RTTVAR when RTT > SRTT.
With this patch it is possible to set RTOmin = 1 to get the minimum of RTO at
4 times the clock granularity.
