2016-06-25Btrfs: fix ->iterate_shared() by upgrading i_rwsem for delayed nodesOmar Sandoval
Commit fe742fd4f90f ("Revert "btrfs: switch to ->iterate_shared()"") backed out the conversion to ->iterate_shared() for Btrfs because the delayed inode handling in btrfs_real_readdir() is racy. However, we can still do readdir in parallel if there are no delayed nodes. This is a temporary fix which upgrades the shared inode lock to an exclusive lock only when we have delayed items until we come up with a more complete solution. While we're here, rename the btrfs_{get,put}_delayed_items functions to make it very clear that they're just for readdir. Tested with xfstests and by doing a parallel kernel build: while make tinyconfig && make -j4 && git clean dqfx; do : done along with a bunch of parallel finds in another shell: while true; do for ((i=0; i<4; i++)); do find . >/dev/null & done wait done Signed-off-by: Omar Sandoval <osandov@fb.com> Signed-off-by: David Sterba <dsterba@suse.com> Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <clm@fb.com>

2016-06-24fs/nilfs2: fix potential underflow in call to crc32_leTorsten Hilbrich
The value `bytes' comes from the filesystem which is about to be mounted. We cannot trust that the value is always in the range we expect it to be. Check its value before using it to calculate the length for the crc32_le call. It value must be larger (or equal) sumoff + 4. This fixes a kernel bug when accidentially mounting an image file which had the nilfs2 magic value 0x3434 at the right offset 0x406 by chance. The bytes 0x01 0x00 were stored at 0x408 and were interpreted as a s_bytes value of 1. This caused an underflow when substracting sumoff + 4 (20) in the call to crc32_le.

2016-06-24oom, suspend: fix oom_reaper vs. oom_killer_disable raceMichal Hocko
Tetsuo has reported the following potential oom_killer_disable vs. oom_reaper race: (1) freeze_processes() starts freezing user space threads. (2) Somebody (maybe a kenrel thread) calls out_of_memory(). (3) The OOM killer calls mark_oom_victim() on a user space thread P1 which is already in __refrigerator(). (4) oom_killer_disable() sets oom_killer_disabled = true. (5) P1 leaves __refrigerator() and enters do_exit(). (6) The OOM reaper calls exit_oom_victim(P1) before P1 can call exit_oom_victim(P1). (7) oom_killer_disable() returns while P1 not yet finished (8) P1 perform IO/interfere with the freezer. This situation is unfortunate. We cannot move oom_killer_disable after all the freezable kernel threads are frozen because the oom victim might depend on some of those kthreads to make a forward progress to exit so we could deadlock. It is also far from trivial to teach the oom_reaper to not call exit_oom_victim() because then we would lose a guarantee of the OOM killer and oom_killer_disable forward progress because exit_mm->mmput might block and never call exit_oom_victim. It seems the easiest way forward is to workaround this race by calling try_to_freeze_tasks again after oom_killer_disable. This will make sure that all the tasks are frozen or it bails out.

2016-06-24mm, compaction: abort free scanner if split failsDavid Rientjes
If the memory compaction free scanner cannot successfully split a free page (only possible due to per-zone low watermark), terminate the free scanner rather than continuing to scan memory needlessly. If the watermark is insufficient for a free page of order <= cc->order, then terminate the scanner since all future splits will also likely fail. This prevents the compaction freeing scanner from scanning all memory on very large zones (very noticeable for zones > 128GB, for instance) when all splits will likely fail while holding zone->lock. compaction_alloc() iterating a 128GB zone has been benchmarked to take over 400ms on some systems whereas any free page isolated and ready to be split ends up failing in split_free_page() because of the low watermark check and thus the iteration continues. The next time compaction occurs, the freeing scanner will likely start at the end of the zone again since no success was made previously and we get the same lengthy iteration until the zone is brought above the low watermark. All thp page faults can take >400ms in such a state without this fix.

2016-06-24mm/hugetlb: clear compound_mapcount when freeing gigantic pagesGerald Schaefer
While working on s390 support for gigantic hugepages I ran into the following "Bad page state" warning when freeing gigantic pages: BUG: Bad page state in process bash pfn:580001 page:000003d116000040 count:0 mapcount:0 mapping:ffffffff00000000 index:0x0 flags: 0x7fffc0000000000() page dumped because: non-NULL mapping This is because page->compound_mapcount, which is part of a union with page->mapping, is initialized with -1 in prep_compound_gigantic_page(), and not cleared again during destroy_compound_gigantic_page(). Fix this by clearing the compound_mapcount in destroy_compound_gigantic_page() before clearing compound_head. Interestingly enough, the warning will not show up on x86_64, although this should not be architecture specific. Apparently there is an endianness issue, combined with the fact that the union contains both a 64 bit ->mapping pointer and a 32 bit atomic_t ->compound_mapcount as members. The resulting bogus page->mapping on x86_64 therefore contains 00000000ffffffff instead of ffffffff00000000 on s390, which will falsely trigger the PageAnon() check in free_pages_prepare() because page->mapping & PAGE_MAPPING_ANON is true on little-endian architectures like x86_64 in this case (the page is not compound anymore, ->compound_head was already cleared before). As a result, page->mapping will be cleared before doing the checks in free_pages_check(). Not sure if the bogus "PageAnon() returning true" on x86_64 for the first tail page of a gigantic page (at this stage) has other theoretical implications, but they would also be fixed with this patch.

2016-06-24mm/swap.c: flush lru pvecs on compound page arrivalLukasz Odzioba
Currently we can have compound pages held on per cpu pagevecs, which leads to a lot of memory unavailable for reclaim when needed. In the systems with hundreads of processors it can be GBs of memory. On of the way of reproducing the problem is to not call munmap explicitly on all mapped regions (i.e. after receiving SIGTERM). After that some pages (with THP enabled also huge pages) may end up on lru_add_pvec, example below. void main() { #pragma omp parallel { size_t size = 55 * 1000 * 1000; // smaller than MEM/CPUS void *p = mmap(NULL, size, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS , -1, 0); if (p != MAP_FAILED) memset(p, 0, size); //munmap(p, size); // uncomment to make the problem go away } } When we run it with THP enabled it will leave significant amount of memory on lru_add_pvec. This memory will be not reclaimed if we hit OOM, so when we run above program in a loop: for i in `seq 100`; do ./a.out; done many processes (95% in my case) will be killed by OOM. The primary point of the LRU add cache is to save the zone lru_lock contention with a hope that more pages will belong to the same zone and so their addition can be batched. The huge page is already a form of batched addition (it will add 512 worth of memory in one go) so skipping the batching seems like a safer option when compared to a potential excess in the caching which can be quite large and much harder to fix because lru_add_drain_all is way to expensive and it is not really clear what would be a good moment to call it. Similarly we can reproduce the problem on lru_deactivate_pvec by adding: madvise(p, size, MADV_FREE); after memset. This patch flushes lru pvecs on compound page arrival making the problem less severe - after applying it kill rate of above example drops to 0%, due to reducing maximum amount of memory held on pvec from 28MB (with THP) to 56kB per CPU.

We account HugeTLB's shared page table to all processes who share it. The accounting happens during huge_pmd_share(). If somebody populates pud entry under us, we should decrease pagetable's refcount and decrease nr_pmds of the process. By mistake, I increase nr_pmds again in this case. :-/ It will lead to "BUG: non-zero nr_pmds on freeing mm: 2" on process' exit. Let's fix this by increasing nr_pmds only when we're sure that the page table will be used.

2016-06-24mm, sl[au]b: add __GFP_ATOMIC to the GFP reclaim maskMel Gorman
Commit d0164adc89f6 ("mm, page_alloc: distinguish between being unable to sleep, unwilling to sleep and avoiding waking kswapd") modified __GFP_WAIT to explicitly identify the difference between atomic callers and those that were unwilling to sleep. Later the definition was removed entirely. The GFP_RECLAIM_MASK is the set of flags that affect watermark checking and reclaim behaviour but __GFP_ATOMIC was never added. Without it, atomic users of the slab allocator strip the __GFP_ATOMIC flag and cannot access the page allocator atomic reserves. This patch addresses the problem. The user-visible impact depends on the workload but potentially atomic allocations unnecessarily fail without this path.

2016-06-24mm: mempool: kasan: don't poot mempool objects in quarantineAndrey Ryabinin
Currently we may put reserved by mempool elements into quarantine via kasan_kfree(). This is totally wrong since quarantine may really free these objects. So when mempool will try to use such element, use-after-free will happen. Or mempool may decide that it no longer need that element and double-free it. So don't put object into quarantine in kasan_kfree(), just poison it. Rename kasan_kfree() to kasan_poison_kfree() to respect that. Also, we shouldn't use kasan_slab_alloc()/kasan_krealloc() in kasan_unpoison_element() because those functions may update allocation stacktrace. This would be wrong for the most of the remove_element call sites. (The only call site where we may want to update alloc stacktrace is in mempool_alloc(). Kmemleak solves this by calling kmemleak_update_trace(), so we could make something like that too. But this is out of scope of this patch).

2016-06-24jbd2: get rid of superfluous __GFP_REPEATMichal Hocko
jbd2_alloc is explicit about its allocation preferences wrt. the allocation size. Sub page allocations go to the slab allocator and larger are using either the page allocator or vmalloc. This is all good but the logic is unnecessarily complex. 1) as per Ted, the vmalloc fallback is a left-over: : jbd2_alloc is only passed in the bh->b_size, which can't be PAGE_SIZE, so : the code path that calls vmalloc() should never get called. When we : conveted jbd2_alloc() to suppor sub-page size allocations in commit : d2eecb039368, there was an assumption that it could be called with a size : greater than PAGE_SIZE, but that's certaily not true today. Moreover vmalloc allocation might even lead to a deadlock because the callers expect GFP_NOFS context while vmalloc is GFP_KERNEL. 2) __GFP_REPEAT for requests <= PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER is ignored since the flag was introduced. Let's simplify the code flow and use the slab allocator for sub-page requests and the page allocator for others. Even though order > 0 is not currently used as per above leave that option open.

__GFP_REPEAT has a rather weak semantic but since it has been introduced around 2.6.12 it has been ignored for low order allocations. PGALLOC_GFP uses __GFP_REPEAT but {pgd,pmd}_alloc allocate from {pgd,pmd}_cache but both caches are allocating up to PAGE_SIZE objects. This means that this flag has never been actually useful here because it has always been used only for PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY requests.

2016-06-24s390: get rid of superfluous __GFP_REPEATMichal Hocko
__GFP_REPEAT has a rather weak semantic but since it has been introduced around 2.6.12 it has been ignored for low order allocations. page_table_alloc then uses the flag for a single page allocation. This means that this flag has never been actually useful here because it has always been used only for PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY requests.

__GFP_REPEAT has a rather weak semantic but since it has been introduced around 2.6.12 it has been ignored for low order allocations. {pud,pmd}_alloc_one is using __GFP_REPEAT but it always allocates from pgtable_cache which is initialzed to PAGE_SIZE objects. This means that this flag has never been actually useful here because it has always been used only for PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY requests.

2016-06-24powerpc: get rid of superfluous __GFP_REPEATMichal Hocko
__GFP_REPEAT has a rather weak semantic but since it has been introduced around 2.6.12 it has been ignored for low order allocations. {pud,pmd}_alloc_one are allocating from {PGT,PUD}_CACHE initialized in pgtable_cache_init which doesn't have larger than sizeof(void *) << 12 size and that fits into !costly allocation request size. PGALLOC_GFP is used only in radix__pgd_alloc which uses either order-0 or order-4 requests. The first one doesn't need the flag while the second does. Drop __GFP_REPEAT from PGALLOC_GFP and add it for the order-4 one. This means that this flag has never been actually useful here because it has always been used only for PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY requests.
