CIFS: Fix a possible invalid memory access in smb2_query_symlink()
fs/cifs: make share unaccessible at root level mountable
cifs: fix crash due to race in hmac(md5) handling
cifs: unbreak TCP session reuse
cifs: Check for existing directory when opening file with O_CREAT
Add MF-Symlinks support for SMB 2.0
For PMD aligned (8M) hugepages, we currently allocate
all four page table levels which is wasteful. We now
allocate till PMD level only which saves memory usage
from page tables.
Also, when freeing page table for 8M hugepage backed region,
make sure we don't try to access non-existent PTE level.

This fixes the following warning:
Warning: objtool: x86 instruction decoder differs from kernel
Unfortunately we have three identical copies of the x86 instruction
decoder in the kernel tree that have to be manually kept in sync.
It's on my TODO list to at least library-ize the ones in the tools
subdir so we'd only have two of them instead of three. In the meantime,
here's another manual sync.

This fixes some false positive objtool warnings seen with gcc 6.1.1:
kernel/trace/ring_buffer.o: warning: objtool: ring_buffer_read_page()+0x36c: sibling call from callable instruction with changed frame pointer
arch/x86/kernel/reboot.o: warning: objtool: native_machine_emergency_restart()+0x139: sibling call from callable instruction with changed frame pointer
lib/xz/xz_dec_stream.o: warning: objtool: xz_dec_run()+0xc2: sibling call from callable instruction with changed frame pointer
With GCC 6, a new code pattern is sometimes used to access a switch
statement jump table in .rodata, which objtool doesn't yet recognize:
mov [rodata addr],%reg1
... some instructions ...
jmpq *(%reg1,%reg2,8)
Add support for detecting that pattern. The detection code is rather
crude, but it's still effective at weeding out false positives and
catching real warnings. It can be refined later once objtool starts
reading DWARF CFI.

In kernel bug 150021, a kernel panic was reported when restoring a
hibernate image. Only a picture of the oops was reported, so I can't
paste the whole thing here. But here are the most interesting parts:
kernel tried to execute NX-protected page - exploit attempt? (uid: 0)
BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffff8804615cfd78
...
RIP: ffff8804615cfd78
RSP: ffff8804615f0000
RBP: ffff8804615cfdc0
...
Call Trace:
do_signal+0x23
exit_to_usermode_loop+0x64
...
The RIP is on the same page as RBP, so it apparently started executing
on the stack.
The bug was bisected to commit ef0f3ed5a4 (x86/asm/power: Create
stack frames in hibernate_asm_64.S), which in retrospect seems quite
dangerous, since that code saves and restores the stack pointer from a
global variable ('saved_context').
There are a lot of moving parts in the hibernate save and restore paths,
so I don't know exactly what caused the panic. Presumably, a FRAME_END
was executed without the corresponding FRAME_BEGIN, or vice versa. That
would corrupt the return address on the stack and would be consistent
with the details of the above panic.
[ rjw: One major problem is that by the time the FRAME_BEGIN in
restore_registers() is executed, the stack pointer value may not
be valid any more. Namely, the stack area pointed to by it
previously may have been overwritten by some image memory contents
and that page frame may now be used for whatever different purpose
it had been allocated for before hibernation. In that case, the
FRAME_BEGIN will corrupt that memory. ]
Instead of doing the frame pointer save/restore around the bounds of the
affected functions, just do it around the call to swsusp_save().
That has the same effect of ensuring that if swsusp_save() sleeps, the
frame pointers will be correct. It's also a much more obviously safe
way to do it than the original patch. And objtool still doesn't report
any warnings.

Right now we remove MAY_WRITE/MAY_APPEND bits from mask if realfile is on
lower/. This is done as files on lower will never be written and will be
copied up. But to copy up a file, mounter should have MAY_READ permission
otherwise copy up will fail. So set MAY_READ in mask when MAY_WRITE is
reset.
Dan Walsh noticed this when he did access(lowerfile, W_OK) and it returned
True (context mounts) but when he tried to actually write to file, it
failed as mounter did not have permission on lower file.
[SzM] don't set MAY_READ if only MAY_APPEND is set without MAY_WRITE; this

Setting POSIX ACL needs special handling:
1) Some permission checks are done by ->setxattr() which now uses mounter's
creds ("ovl: do operations on underlying file system in mounter's
context"). These permission checks need to be done with current cred as
well.
2) Setting ACL can fail for various reasons. We do not need to copy up in
these cases.
In the mean time switch to using generic_setxattr.
[Arnd Bergmann] Fix link error without POSIX ACL. posix_acl_from_xattr()
doesn't have a 'static inline' implementation when CONFIG_FS_POSIX_ACL is
disabled, and I could not come up with an obvious way to do it.
This instead avoids the link error by defining two sets of ACL operations
and letting the compiler drop one of the two at compile time depending
on CONFIG_FS_POSIX_ACL. This avoids all references to the ACL code,
also leading to smaller code.

Inode attributes are copied up to overlay inode (uid, gid, mode, atime,
mtime, ctime) so generic code using these fields works correcty. If a hard
link is created in overlayfs separate inodes are allocated for each link.
If chmod/chown/etc. is performed on one of the links then the inode
belonging to the other ones won't be updated.
This patch attempts to fix this by sharing inodes for hard links.
Use inode hash (with real inode pointer as a key) to make sure overlay
inodes are shared for hard links on upper. Hard links on lower are still
split (which is not user observable until the copy-up happens, see
Documentation/filesystems/overlayfs.txt under "Non-standard behavior").
The inode is only inserted in the hash if it is non-directoy and upper.

To get from overlay inode to real inode we currently use 'struct
ovl_entry', which has lifetime connected to overlay dentry. This is okay,
since each overlay dentry had a new overlay inode allocated.
Following patch will break that assumption, so need to leave out ovl_entry.
This patch stores the real inode directly in i_private, with the lowest bit
used to indicate whether the inode is upper or lower.
Lifetime rules remain, using ovl_inode_real() must only be done while
caller holds ref on overlay dentry (and hence on real dentry), or within
RCU protected regions.

Fix atime update logic in overlayfs.
This patch adds an i_op->update_time() handler to overlayfs inodes. This

on lower layers.
Remove implicit atime updates to underlying files and directories with
O_NOATIME. Remove explicit atime update in ovl_readlink().

When creating directory in workdir, the group/sgid inheritance from the

Unfortunately the sgid bit can be stripped off due to umask, so need to
reset the mode in this case in workdir before moving the directory in
place.

The fact that we always do permission checking on the overlay inode and
clear MAY_WRITE for checking access to the lower inode allows cruft to be
removed from ovl_permission().
1) "default_permissions" option effectively did generic_permission() on the
overlay inode with i_mode, i_uid and i_gid updated from underlying
filesystem. This is what we do by default now. It did the update using
vfs_getattr() but that's only needed if the underlying filesystem can
change (which is not allowed). We may later introduce a "paranoia_mode"
that verifies that mode/uid/gid are not changed.
2) splitting out the IS_RDONLY() check from inode_permission() also becomes
unnecessary once we remove the MAY_WRITE from the lower inode check.
Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@redhat.com>
Now we have two levels of checks in ovl_permission(). overlay inode
is checked with the creds of task while underlying inode is checked
with the creds of mounter.
Looks like mounter does not have to have WRITE access to files on lower/.
So remove the MAY_WRITE from access mask for checks on underlying
lower inode.
This means task should still have the MAY_WRITE permission on lower
inode and mounter is not required to have MAY_WRITE.
It also solves the problem of read only NFS mounts being used as lower.
If __inode_permission(lower_inode, MAY_WRITE) is called on read only
NFS, it fails. By resetting MAY_WRITE, check succeeds and case of
read only NFS shold work with overlay without having to specify any
special mount options (default permission).

The hash salting changes meant that we can no longer reuse the hash in the
overlay dentry to look up the underlying dentry.
Instead of lookup_hash(), use lookup_one_len_unlocked() and swith to
mounter's creds (like we do for all other operations later in the series).
Now the lookup_hash() export introduced in 4.6 by 3c9fe8cdff ("vfs: add

usefulness negated by the hash salting and the idea that mounter's creds

This patch wires up the new preadv2 and pwritev2 syscall on AVR32.
On AVR32, all parameters beyond the 5th are passed on the stack. System
calls don't use the stack -- they borrow a callee-saved register
instead. This means that syscalls that take 6 parameters must be called
through a stub that pushes the last parameter on the stack.

do_sparc64_fault() calculates both the base and huge page RSS sizes and
uses this information in calls to tsb_grow(). The calculation for base
page TSB size is not correct if the task uses hugetlb pages. hugetlb
pages are not accounted for in RSS, therefore the call to get_mm_rss(mm)
does not include hugetlb pages. However, the number of pages based on
huge_pte_count (which does include hugetlb pages) is subtracted from
this value. This will result in an artificially small and often negative
RSS calculation. The base TSB size is then often set to max_tsb_size
as the passed RSS is unsigned, so a negative value looks really big.
THP pages are also accounted for in huge_pte_count, and THP pages are
accounted for in RSS so the calculation in do_sparc64_fault() is correct
if a task only uses THP pages.
A single huge_pte_count is not sufficient for TSB sizing if both hugetlb
and THP pages can be used. Instead of a single counter, use two: one
for hugetlb and one for THP.

1/ Replace pcommit with ADR / directed-flushing:
The pcommit instruction, which has not shipped on any product, is
deprecated. Instead, the requirement is that platforms implement either
ADR, or provide one or more flush addresses per nvdimm. ADR
(Asynchronous DRAM Refresh) flushes data in posted write buffers to the
memory controller on a power-fail event. Flush addresses are defined in
ACPI 6.x as an NVDIMM Firmware Interface Table (NFIT) sub-structure:
"Flush Hint Address Structure". A flush hint is an mmio address that
when written and fenced assures that all previous posted writes
targeting a given dimm have been flushed to media.
2/ On-demand ARS (address range scrub):
Linux uses the results of the ACPI ARS commands to track bad blocks
in pmem devices. When latent errors are detected we re-scrub the media
to refresh the bad block list, userspace can also request a re-scrub at
any time.
3/ Support for the Microsoft DSM (device specific method) command format.
4/ Support for EDK2/OVMF virtual disk device memory ranges.

Async compaction detects contention either due to failing trylock on
zone->lock or lru_lock, or by need_resched(). Since 1f9efdef4f ("mm,
compaction: khugepaged should not give up due to need_resched()") the
code got quite complicated to distinguish these two up to the
__alloc_pages_slowpath() level, so different decisions could be taken
for khugepaged allocations.
After the recent changes, khugepaged allocations don't check for
contended compaction anymore, so we again don't need to distinguish lock
and sched contention, and simplify the current convoluted code a lot.
However, I believe it's also possible to simplify even more and
completely remove the check for contended compaction after the initial
async compaction for costly orders, which was originally aimed at THP
page fault allocations. There are several reasons why this can be done
now:
- with the new defaults, THP page faults no longer do reclaim/compaction at
all, unless the system admin has overridden the default, or application has
indicated via madvise that it can benefit from THP's. In both cases, it
means that the potential extra latency is expected and worth the benefits.
- even if reclaim/compaction proceeds after this patch where it previously
wouldn't, the second compaction attempt is still async and will detect the
contention and back off, if the contention persists
- there are still heuristics like deferred compaction and pageblock skip bits
in place that prevent excessive THP page fault latencies

In the context of direct compaction, for some types of allocations we
would like the compaction to either succeed or definitely fail while
trying as hard as possible. Current async/sync_light migration mode is
insufficient, as there are heuristics such as caching scanner positions,
marking pageblocks as unsuitable or deferring compaction for a zone. At
least the final compaction attempt should be able to override these
heuristics.
To communicate how hard compaction should try, we replace migration mode
with a new enum compact_priority and change the relevant function
signatures. In compact_zone_order() where struct compact_control is
constructed, the priority is mapped to suitable control flags. This
patch itself has no functional change, as the current priority levels
are mapped back to the same migration modes as before. Expanding them
will be done next.
Note that !CONFIG_COMPACTION variant of try_to_compact_pages() is
removed, as the only caller exists under CONFIG_COMPACTION.

After the previous patch, we can distinguish costly allocations that
should be really lightweight, such as THP page faults, with
__GFP_NORETRY. This means we don't need to recognize khugepaged
allocations via PF_KTHREAD anymore. We can also change THP page faults
in areas where madvise(MADV_HUGEPAGE) was used to try as hard as
khugepaged, as the process has indicated that it benefits from THP's and
is willing to pay some initial latency costs.
We can also make the flags handling less cryptic by distinguishing
GFP_TRANSHUGE_LIGHT (no reclaim at all, default mode in page fault) from
GFP_TRANSHUGE (only direct reclaim, khugepaged default). Adding
__GFP_NORETRY or __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM is done where needed.
The patch effectively changes the current GFP_TRANSHUGE users as
follows:
* get_huge_zero_page() - the zero page lifetime should be relatively
long and it's shared by multiple users, so it's worth spending some
effort on it. We use GFP_TRANSHUGE, and __GFP_NORETRY is not added.
This also restores direct reclaim to this allocation, which was
unintentionally removed by commit e4a49efe4e7e ("mm: thp: set THP defrag
by default to madvise and add a stall-free defrag option")
* alloc_hugepage_khugepaged_gfpmask() - this is khugepaged, so latency
is not an issue. So if khugepaged "defrag" is enabled (the default), do
reclaim via GFP_TRANSHUGE without __GFP_NORETRY. We can remove the
PF_KTHREAD check from page alloc.
As a side-effect, khugepaged will now no longer check if the initial
compaction was deferred or contended. This is OK, as khugepaged sleep
times between collapsion attempts are long enough to prevent noticeable
disruption, so we should allow it to spend some effort.
* migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page() - already was masking out
__GFP_RECLAIM, so just convert to GFP_TRANSHUGE_LIGHT which is
equivalent.
* alloc_hugepage_direct_gfpmask() - vma's with VM_HUGEPAGE (via madvise)
are now allocating without __GFP_NORETRY. Other vma's keep using
__GFP_NORETRY if direct reclaim/compaction is at all allowed (by default
it's allowed only for madvised vma's). The rest is conversion to
GFP_TRANSHUGE(_LIGHT).

Since THP allocations during page faults can be costly, extra decisions
are employed for them to avoid excessive reclaim and compaction, if the
initial compaction doesn't look promising. The detection has never been
perfect as there is no gfp flag specific to THP allocations. At this
moment it checks the whole combination of flags that makes up
GFP_TRANSHUGE, and hopes that no other users of such combination exist,
or would mind being treated the same way. Extra care is also taken to
separate allocations from khugepaged, where latency doesn't matter that
much.
It is however possible to distinguish these allocations in a simpler and
more reliable way. The key observation is that after the initial
compaction followed by the first iteration of "standard"
reclaim/compaction, both __GFP_NORETRY allocations and costly
allocations without __GFP_REPEAT are declared as failures:
/* Do not loop if specifically requested */
if (gfp_mask & __GFP_NORETRY)
goto nopage;
/*
* Do not retry costly high order allocations unless they are
* __GFP_REPEAT
*/
if (order > PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER && !(gfp_mask & __GFP_REPEAT))
goto nopage;
This means we can further distinguish allocations that are costly order
*and* additionally include the __GFP_NORETRY flag. As it happens,
GFP_TRANSHUGE allocations do already fall into this category. This will
also allow other costly allocations with similar high-order benefit vs
latency considerations to use this semantic. Furthermore, we can
distinguish THP allocations that should try a bit harder (such as from
khugepageed) by removing __GFP_NORETRY, as will be done in the next
patch.

The retry loop in __alloc_pages_slowpath is supposed to keep trying
reclaim and compaction (and OOM), until either the allocation succeeds,
or returns with failure. Success here is more probable when reclaim
precedes compaction, as certain watermarks have to be met for compaction
to even try, and more free pages increase the probability of compaction
success. On the other hand, starting with light async compaction (if
the watermarks allow it), can be more efficient, especially for smaller
orders, if there's enough free memory which is just fragmented.
Thus, the current code starts with compaction before reclaim, and to
make sure that the last reclaim is always followed by a final
compaction, there's another direct compaction call at the end of the
loop. This makes the code hard to follow and adds some duplicated
handling of migration_mode decisions. It's also somewhat inefficient
that even if reclaim or compaction decides not to retry, the final
compaction is still attempted. Some gfp flags combination also shortcut
these retry decisions by "goto noretry;", making it even harder to
follow.
This patch attempts to restructure the code with only minimal functional
changes. The call to the first compaction and THP-specific checks are
now placed above the retry loop, and the "noretry" direct compaction is
removed.
The initial compaction is additionally restricted only to costly orders,
as we can expect smaller orders to be held back by watermarks, and only
larger orders to suffer primarily from fragmentation. This better
matches the checks in reclaim's shrink_zones().
There are two other smaller functional changes. One is that the upgrade
from async migration to light sync migration will always occur after the
initial compaction. This is how it has been until recent patch "mm,
oom: protect !costly allocations some more", which introduced upgrading
the mode based on COMPACT_COMPLETE result, but kept the final compaction
always upgraded, which made it even more special. It's better to return
to the simpler handling for now, as migration modes will be further
modified later in the series.
The second change is that once both reclaim and compaction declare it's
not worth to retry the reclaim/compact loop, there is no final
compaction attempt. As argued above, this is intentional. If that
final compaction were to succeed, it would be due to a wrong retry
decision, or simply a race with somebody else freeing memory for us.
The main outcome of this patch should be simpler code. Logically, the
initial compaction without reclaim is the exceptional case to the
reclaim/compaction scheme, but prior to the patch, it was the last loop
iteration that was exceptional. Now the code matches the logic better.
The change also enable the following patches.
