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.

- 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

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

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.

ARM: 7805/1: mm: change max*pfn to include the physical offset of memory
Most of the kernel code assumes that max*pfn is maximum pfns because
the physical start of memory is expected to be PFN0. Since this
assumption is not true on ARM architectures, the meaning of max*pfn
is number of memory pages. This is done to keep drivers happy which
are making use of of these variable to calculate the dma bounce limit
using dma_mask.
Now since we have a architecture override possibility for DMAable
maximum pfns, lets make meaning of max*pfns as maximum pnfs on ARM
as well.

ARM: 7795/1: mm: dma-mapping: Add dma_max_pfn(dev) helper function
Most of the kernel assumes that PFN0 is the start of the physical
memory (RAM). This assumptions is not true on most of the ARM SOCs
and hence and if one try to update the ARM port to follow the assumptions,
we end of breaking the dma bounce limit for few block layer drivers.
One such example is trying to unify the meaning of max*_pfn on ARM
as the bootmem layer expects, breaks few block layer driver dma
bounce limit.
To fix this problem, we introduce dma_max_pfn(dev) generic helper with
a possibility of override from the architecture code. The helper converts
a DMA bitmask of bits to a block PFN number. In all the generic cases,
it is just "dev->dma_mask >> PAGE_SHIFT" and hence default behavior
is maintained as is.
Subsequent patches will make use of the helper. No functional change.

ARM: DMA-API: better handing of DMA masks for coherent allocations
We need to start treating DMA masks as something which is specific to
the bus that the device resides on, otherwise we're going to hit all
sorts of nasty issues with LPAE and 32-bit DMA controllers in >32-bit
systems, where memory is offset from PFN 0.
In order to start doing this, we convert the DMA mask to a PFN using
the device specific dma_to_pfn() macro. This is the reverse of the
pfn_to_dma() macro which is used to get the DMA address for the device.
This gives us a PFN mask, which we can then check against the PFN
limit of the DMA zone.

ARM: 7858/1: mm: make UACCESS_WITH_MEMCPY huge page aware
The memory pinning code in uaccess_with_memcpy.c does not check
for HugeTLB or THP pmds, and will enter an infinite loop should
a __copy_to_user or __clear_user occur against a huge page.
This patch adds detection code for huge pages to pin_page_for_write.
As this code can be executed in a fast path it refers to the actual
pmds rather than the vma. If a HugeTLB or THP is found (they have
the same pmd representation on ARM), the page table spinlock is
taken to prevent modification whilst the page is pinned.
On ARM, huge pages are only represented as pmds, thus no huge pud
checks are performed. (For huge puds one would lock the page table
in a similar manner as in the pmd case).
Two helper functions are introduced; pmd_thp_or_huge will check
whether or not a page is huge or transparent huge (which have the
same pmd layout on ARM), and pmd_hugewillfault will detect whether
or not a page fault will occur on write to the page.
Running the following test (with the chunking from read_zero
removed):
$ dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null bs=10M count=1024
Gave: 2.3 GB/s backed by normal pages,
2.9 GB/s backed by huge pages,
5.1 GB/s backed by huge pages, with page mask=HPAGE_MASK.
After some discussion, it was decided not to adopt the HPAGE_MASK,
as this would have a significant detrimental effect on the overall
system latency due to page_table_lock being held for too long.
This could be revisited if split huge page locks are adopted.

This patch introduces cmpxchg64_relaxed for arm, which performs a 64-bit
cmpxchg operation without barrier semantics. cmpxchg64_local is updated
to use the new operation.

Our cmpxchg64 macros are wrappers around atomic64_cmpxchg. Whilst this is
great for code re-use, there is a case for barrier-less cmpxchg where it
is known to be safe (for example cmpxchg64_local and cmpxchg-based
lockrefs).
This patch introduces a 64-bit cmpxchg implementation specifically
for the cmpxchg64_* macros, so that it can be later used by the lockref
code.

Tim Bird expressed concern that this will have a bad effect on boot
time, and while simple tests have shown it to be okay with simple tree,
a device tree blob can potentially be quite large and
add_device_randomness() is not a fast function. Rather than do this for
all platforms unconditionally, I'm reverting this patch and would like
to see it revisited. Instead of feeding the entire tree into the random
pool, it would probably be appropriate to hash the tree and feed the
hash result into the pool. There really isn't a lot of randomness in a
device tree anyway. In the majority of cases only a handful of
properties are going to be different between machines with the same
baseboard.

of: fix unnecessary warning on missing /cpus node
Not all DT platforms have all the cpus collected under a /cpus node.
That just happens to be a details of FDT, ePAPR and PowerPC platforms.
Sparc does something different, but unfortunately the current code
complains with a warning if /cpus isn't there. This became a problem
with commit f86e4718, "driver/core cpu: initialize of_node in cpu's
device structure", which caused the function to get called for all
architectures.
This commit is a temporary fix to fail silently if the cpus node isn't
present. A proper fix will come later to allow arch code to provide a
custom mechanism for decoding the CPU hwid if the 'reg' property isn't
appropriate.

ALSA: hda - Fix inverted internal mic not indicated on some machines
The create_bind_cap_vol_ctl does not create any control indicating
that an inverted dmic is present. Therefore, create multiple
capture volumes in this scenario, so we always have some indication
that the internal mic is inverted.
This happens on the Lenovo Ideapad U310 as well as the Lenovo Yoga 13
(both are based on the CX20590 codec), but the fix is generic and
could be needed for other codecs/machines too.
Thanks to Szymon Acedański for the pointer and a draft patch.

mac80211: fix crash if bitrate calculation goes wrong
If a frame's timestamp is calculated, and the bitrate
calculation goes wrong and returns zero, the system

wireless: radiotap: fix parsing buffer overrun
When parsing an invalid radiotap header, the parser can overrun
the buffer that is passed in because it doesn't correctly check
1) the minimum radiotap header size
2) the space for extended bitmaps
The first issue doesn't affect any in-kernel user as they all
check the minimum size before calling the radiotap function.
The second issue could potentially affect the kernel if an skb
is passed in that consists only of the radiotap header with a
lot of extended bitmaps that extend past the SKB. In that case
a read-only buffer overrun by at most 4 bytes is possible.
Fix this by adding the appropriate checks to the parser.

ARM: 7851/1: check for number of arguments in syscall_get/set_arguments()
In ftrace_syscall_enter(),
syscall_get_arguments(..., 0, n, ...)
if (i == 0) { <handle ORIG_r0> ...; n--;}
memcpy(..., n * sizeof(args[0]));
If 'number of arguments(n)' is zero and 'argument index(i)' is also zero in
syscall_get_arguments(), none of arguments should be copied by memcpy().
Otherwise 'n--' can be a big positive number and unexpected amount of data
will be copied. Tracing system calls which take no argument, say sync(void),
may hit this case and eventually make the system corrupted.
This patch fixes the issue both in syscall_get_arguments() and
syscall_set_arguments().

DMA-API: firmware/google/gsmi.c: avoid direct access to DMA masks

DMA-API: dcdbas: update DMA mask handing
dcdbas was explicitly initializing DMA masks thusly:
dcdbas_pdev->dev.coherent_dma_mask = DMA_BIT_MASK(32);
dcdbas_pdev->dev.dma_mask = &dcdbas_pdev->dev.coherent_dma_mask;
which bypasses the architecture check. Moreover, it is creating the
dcdbas_pdev device itself, and using the platform_device_register_full()
avoids some of this explicit initialization.
Convert the driver to use platform_device_register_full(), and as it
makes use of coherent DMA, also call dma_set_coherent_mask() to ensure
that the architecture gets to check the mask.
