This is the case where a concurrent fault already installed the PTE and
we get to free the newly allocated one.
This is due to pgtable_page_ctor() doing the spin_lock_init(&page->ptl)
which is overlaid with the {private, mapping} struct.
union {
struct {
unsigned long private;
struct address_space *mapping;
};
spinlock_t ptl;
struct kmem_cache *slab;
struct page *first_page;
};
Normally the spinlock is small enough to not stomp on page->mapping, but
PREEMPT_RT=y has huge 'spin'locks.
But lockdep kernels should also be able to trigger this splat, as the
lock tracking code grows the spinlock to cover page->mapping.
The obvious fix is calling pgtable_page_dtor() like the regular pte free
path __pte_free_tlb() does.
It seems all architectures except x86 and nm10300 already do this, and
nm10300 doesn't seem to use pgtable_page_ctor(), which suggests it

x86: fix page attribute corruption with cpa()
Impact: fix sporadic slowdowns and warning messages
This patch fixes a performance issue reported by Linus on his
Nehalem system. While Linus reverted the PAT patch (commit 58dab916dfb57328d50deb0aa9b3fc92efa248ff) which exposed the issue,
existing cpa() code can potentially still cause wrong(page attribute
corruption) behavior.
This patch also fixes the "WARNING: at arch/x86/mm/pageattr.c:560" that
various people reported.
In 64bit kernel, kernel identity mapping might have holes depending
on the available memory and how e820 reports the address range
covering the RAM, ACPI, PCI reserved regions. If there is a 2MB/1GB hole
in the address range that is not listed by e820 entries, kernel identity
mapping will have a corresponding hole in its 1-1 identity mapping.
If cpa() happens on the kernel identity mapping which falls into these holes,
existing code fails like this:
__change_page_attr_set_clr()
__change_page_attr()
returns 0 because of if (!kpte). But doesn't
set cpa->numpages and cpa->pfn.
cpa_process_alias()
uses uninitialized cpa->pfn (random value)
which can potentially lead to changing the page
attribute of kernel text/data, kernel identity
mapping of RAM pages etc. oops!
This bug was easily exposed by another PAT patch which was doing
cpa() more often on kernel identity mapping holes (physical range between
max_low_pfn_mapped and 4GB), where in here it was setting the
cache disable attribute(PCD) for kernel identity mappings aswell.
Fix cpa() to handle the kernel identity mapping holes. Retain
the WARN() for cpa() calls to other not present address ranges
(kernel-text/data, ioremap() addresses)
Justin Madru bisected this commit, it was causing weird Firefox

The reason is that GCC mis-optimizes (re-uses) the on-stack parameters of
the calling frame, which corrupts the syscall return pt_regs state and
thus corrupts user-space register state.
So we go back to the slightly less clean but more optimization-safe
method of getting to pt_regs. Also add a comment to explain this.

x86: fix assumed to be contiguous leaf page tables for kmap_atomic region (take 2)
Debugging and original patch from Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de>
The early fixmap pmd entry inserted at the very top of the KVA is causing the
subsequent fixmap mapping code to not provide physically linear pte pages over
the kmap atomic portion of the fixmap (which relies on said property to
calculate pte addresses).
This has caused weird boot failures in kmap_atomic much later in the boot
process (initial userspace faults) on a 32-bit PAE system with a larger number
of CPUs (smaller CPU counts tend not to run over into the next page so don't
show up the problem).
Solve this by attempting to clear out the page table, and copy any of its
entries to the new one. Also, add a bug if a nonlinear condition is encountered
and can't be resolved, which might save some hours of debugging if this fragile
scheme ever breaks again...
Once we have such logic, we can also use it to eliminate the early ioremap
trickery around the page table setup for the fixmap area. This also fixes
potential issues with FIX_* entries sharing the leaf page table with the early
ioremap ones getting discarded by early_ioremap_clear() and not restored by
early_ioremap_reset(). It at once eliminates the temporary (and configuration,
namely NR_CPUS, dependent) unavailability of early fixed mappings during the
time the fixmap area page tables get constructed.
Finally, also replace the hard coded calculation of the initial table space
needed for the fixmap area with a proper one, allowing kernels configured for
large CPU counts to actually boot.

Here X is trying to map first 8KB of memory using /dev/mem. Existing

code changes don't allow to map memory with different attributes
at the same time.
Fix this by treating the first 1MB legacy region as special and always
track the attribute requests with in this region using linear linked
list (and don't bother if the range is RAM or non-RAM or mixed)
Dieter Ries reported bootup soft-hangs and bisected it back to
this commit, and reverting this commit gave him a working system.
The commit introduces work_on_cpu() use into the cpufreq code,
but that is subtly problematic from a lock hierarchy POV: the
hotplug-cpu lock is an highlevel lock that is taken before
lowlevel locks, and in this codepath we are called with the
policy lock taken.
Dieter did not have lockdep enabled so we dont have a nice stack
trace proof for this, but using work_on_cpu() in such a lowlevel
place certainly looks wrong, so we revert the patch.
work_on_cpu() needs to be reworked to be more generally usable.
Here the intention is to get the pgd corresponding to the current process
and sync it up with the pgd in init_mm(obtained from pgd_offset_k).
However, for kernel threads current->mm is NULL and hence pgd =
pgd_offset(init_mm, address) = pgd_ref which means the fault handler
returns without setting the pgd entry in the MM structure in the context
of which the kernel thread has faulted. This could lead to never-ending
faults and busy looping of kernel threads like pdflush. So, shouldn't the
pgd = pgd_offset(current->mm ?: &init_mm, address); be pgd =
pgd_offset(current->active_mm ?: &init_mm, address);
We can use active_mm unconditionally because it should be always set.

bootgraph: make the bootgraph script show async waiting time
It is useful for diagnosing boot performance to see where async function
calls are waiting on serialization... this patch adds this
functionality to the bootgraph.pl script.
The waiting time is shown as a half transparent, gray bar through the
block that is waiting.

libata: only ports >= 0 need to synchronize
In a discussio with Jeff Garzik, he mentioned that the serialization
for the libata port probes only needs to be within the domain of a host.
This means that for the first port of each host (with ID 0), we don't
need to wait, so we can relax our serialization a little.

filesystem freeze: add error handling of write_super_lockfs/unlockfs
Currently, ext3 in mainline Linux doesn't have the freeze feature which
suspends write requests. So, we cannot take a backup which keeps the
filesystem's consistency with the storage device's features (snapshot and
replication) while it is mounted.
In many case, a commercial filesystem (e.g. VxFS) has the freeze feature
and it would be used to get the consistent backup.
If Linux's standard filesystem ext3 has the freeze feature, we can do it
without a commercial filesystem.
So I have implemented the ioctls of the freeze feature.
I think we can take the consistent backup with the following steps.
1. Freeze the filesystem with the freeze ioctl.
2. Separate the replication volume or create the snapshot
with the storage device's feature.
3. Unfreeze the filesystem with the unfreeze ioctl.
4. Take the backup from the separated replication volume
or the snapshot.
This patch:
VFS:
Changed the type of write_super_lockfs and unlockfs from "void"
to "int" so that they can return an error.
Rename write_super_lockfs and unlockfs of the super block operation
freeze_fs and unfreeze_fs to avoid a confusion.
ext3, ext4, xfs, gfs2, jfs:
Changed the type of write_super_lockfs and unlockfs from "void"
to "int" so that write_super_lockfs returns an error if needed,
and unlockfs always returns 0.
reiserfs:
Changed the type of write_super_lockfs and unlockfs from "void"
to "int" so that they always return 0 (success) to keep a current behavior.
