which is a false positive caused by hugetlb pmd sharing code which
allocates a new pmd from withing mapping->i_mmap_mutex. If this
allocation causes reclaim then the lockdep detector complains that we
might self-deadlock.
This is not correct though, because hugetlb pages are not reclaimable so
their mapping will be never touched from the reclaim path.
The patch tells lockup detector that hugetlb i_mmap_mutex is special by
assigning it a separate lockdep class so it won't report possible
deadlocks on unrelated mappings.

The current kernel returns -EINVAL unless a given mmap length is
"almost" hugepage aligned. This is because in sys_mmap_pgoff() the
given length is passed to vm_mmap_pgoff() as it is without being aligned
with hugepage boundary.
This is a regression introduced in commit 40716e2924 ("hugetlbfs: fix
alignment of huge page requests"), where alignment code is pushed into
hugetlb_file_setup() and the variable len in caller side is not changed.
To fix this, this patch partially reverts that commit, and adds
alignment code in caller side. And it also introduces hstate_sizelog()
in order to get proper hstate to specified hugepage size.

Currently we fail to include any data on hugepages into coredump,
because VM_DONTDUMP is set on hugetlbfs's vma. This behavior was
recently introduced by commit 314e51b985 ("mm: kill vma flag

This looks to me a serious regression, so let's fix it.

Modify the request_module to prefix the file system type with "fs-"
and add aliases to all of the filesystems that can be built as modules
to match.
A common practice is to build all of the kernel code and leave code
that is not commonly needed as modules, with the result that many
users are exposed to any bug anywhere in the kernel.
Looking for filesystems with a fs- prefix limits the pool of possible
modules that can be loaded by mount to just filesystems trivially
making things safer with no real cost.
Using aliases means user space can control the policy of which
filesystem modules are auto-loaded by editing /etc/modprobe.d/*.conf
with blacklist and alias directives. Allowing simple, safe,
well understood work-arounds to known problematic software.
This also addresses a rare but unfortunate problem where the filesystem
name is not the same as it's module name and module auto-loading
would not work. While writing this patch I saw a handful of such
cases. The most significant being autofs that lives in the module
autofs4.
This is relevant to user namespaces because we can reach the request
module in get_fs_type() without having any special permissions, and
people get uncomfortable when a user specified string (in this case
the filesystem type) goes all of the way to request_module.
After having looked at this issue I don't think there is any
particular reason to perform any filtering or permission checks beyond
making it clear in the module request that we want a filesystem
module. The common pattern in the kernel is to call request_module()
without regards to the users permissions. In general all a filesystem
module does once loaded is call register_filesystem() and go to sleep.
Which means there is not much attack surface exposed by loading a
filesytem module unless the filesystem is mounted. In a user
namespace filesystems are not mounted unless .fs_flags = FS_USERNS_MOUNT,
which most filesystems do not set today.

Allocating a file structure in function get_empty_filp() might fail because
of several reasons:
- not enough memory for file structures
- operation is not allowed
- user is over its limit
Currently the function returns NULL in all cases and we loose the exact
reason of the error. All callers of get_empty_filp() assume that the function
can fail with ENFILE only.
Return error through pointer. Change all callers to preserve this error code.
[AV: cleaned up a bit, carved the get_empty_filp() part out into a separate commit

Memory fragmentation introduced by ballooning might reduce significantly
the number of 2MB contiguous memory blocks that can be used within a
guest, thus imposing performance penalties associated with the reduced
number of transparent huge pages that could be used by the guest workload.
This patch-set follows the main idea discussed at 2012 LSFMMS session:
"Ballooning for transparent huge pages" -- http://lwn.net/Articles/490114/
to introduce the required changes to the virtio_balloon driver, as well as
the changes to the core compaction & migration bits, in order to make
those subsystems aware of ballooned pages and allow memory balloon pages
become movable within a guest, thus avoiding the aforementioned
fragmentation issue
Following are numbers that prove this patch benefits on allowing
compaction to be more effective at memory ballooned guests.
Results for STRESS-HIGHALLOC benchmark, from Mel Gorman's mmtests suite,
running on a 4gB RAM KVM guest which was ballooning 512mB RAM in 64mB

There was some desire in large applications using MAP_HUGETLB or
SHM_HUGETLB to use 1GB huge pages on some mappings, and stay with 2MB on
others. This is useful together with NUMA policy: use 2MB interleaving
on some mappings, but 1GB on local mappings.
This patch extends the IPC/SHM syscall interfaces slightly to allow
specifying the page size.
It borrows some upper bits in the existing flag arguments and allows
encoding the log of the desired page size in addition to the *_HUGETLB
flag. When 0 is specified the default size is used, this makes the
change fully compatible.
Extending the internal hugetlb code to handle this is straight forward.
Instead of a single mount it just keeps an array of them and selects the
right mount based on the specified page size. When no page size is
specified it uses the mount of the default page size.
The change is not visible in /proc/mounts because internal mounts don't
appear there. It also has very little overhead: the additional mounts
just consume a super block, but not more memory when not used.
I also exported the new flags to the user headers (they were previously
under __KERNEL__). Right now only symbols for x86 and some other
architecture for 1GB and 2MB are defined. The interface should already
work for all other architectures though. Only architectures that define
multiple hugetlb sizes actually need it (that is currently x86, tile,
powerpc). However tile and powerpc have user configurable hugetlb
sizes, so it's not easy to add defines. A program on those
architectures would need to query sysfs and use the appropiate log2.

Implement an interval tree as a replacement for the VMA prio_tree. The
algorithms are similar to lib/interval_tree.c; however that code can't be
directly reused as the interval endpoints are not explicitly stored in the
VMA. So instead, the common algorithm is moved into a template and the
details (node type, how to get interval endpoints from the node, etc) are
filled in using the C preprocessor.
Once the interval tree functions are available, using them as a
replacement to the VMA prio tree is a relatively simple, mechanical job.

A long time ago, in v2.4, VM_RESERVED kept swapout process off VMA,
currently it lost original meaning but still has some effects:
| effect | alternative flags
-+------------------------+---------------------------------------------
1| account as reserved_vm | VM_IO
2| skip in core dump | VM_IO, VM_DONTDUMP
3| do not merge or expand | VM_IO, VM_DONTEXPAND, VM_HUGETLB, VM_PFNMAP
4| do not mlock | VM_IO, VM_DONTEXPAND, VM_HUGETLB, VM_PFNMAP
This patch removes reserved_vm counter from mm_struct. Seems like nobody
cares about it, it does not exported into userspace directly, it only
reduces total_vm showed in proc.
Thus VM_RESERVED can be replaced with VM_IO or pair VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP.
remap_pfn_range() and io_remap_pfn_range() set VM_IO|VM_DONTEXPAND|VM_DONTDUMP.
remap_vmalloc_range() set VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP.

Pull vfs update from Al Viro:
- big one - consolidation of descriptor-related logics; almost all of
that is moved to fs/file.c
(BTW, I'm seriously tempted to rename the result to fd.c. As it is,
we have a situation when file_table.c is about handling of struct
file and file.c is about handling of descriptor tables; the reasons
are historical - file_table.c used to be about a static array of
struct file we used to have way back).
A lot of stray ends got cleaned up and converted to saner primitives,
disgusting mess in android/binder.c is still disgusting, but at least
doesn't poke so much in descriptor table guts anymore. A bunch of
relatively minor races got fixed in process, plus an ext4 struct file
leak.
- related thing - fget_light() partially unuglified; see fdget() in
there (and yes, it generates the code as good as we used to have).
- also related - bits of Cyrill's procfs stuff that got entangled into
that work; _not_ all of it, just the initial move to fs/proc/fd.c and
switch of fdinfo to seq_file.
- Alex's fs/coredump.c spiltoff - the same story, had been easier to
take that commit than mess with conflicts. The rest is a separate
pile, this was just a mechanical code movement.
- a few misc patches all over the place. Not all for this cycle,
there'll be more (and quite a few currently sit in akpm's tree)."
Fix up trivial conflicts in the android binder driver, and some fairly
simple conflicts due to two different changes to the sock_alloc_file()
interface ("take descriptor handling from sock_alloc_file() to callers"
vs "net: Providing protocol type via system.sockprotoname xattr of
/proc/PID/fd entries" adding a dentry name to the socket)

* tag 'writeback' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/wfg/linux:
writeback: Avoid iput() from flusher thread
vfs: Rename end_writeback() to clear_inode()
vfs: Move waiting for inode writeback from end_writeback() to evict_inode()
writeback: Refactor writeback_single_inode()
writeback: Remove wb->list_lock from writeback_single_inode()
writeback: Separate inode requeueing after writeback
writeback: Move I_DIRTY_PAGES handling

writeback: Move clearing of I_SYNC into inode_sync_complete()
writeback: initialize global_dirty_limit
fs: remove 8 bytes of padding from struct writeback_control on 64 bit builds
mm: page-writeback.c: local functions should not be exposed globally
After we moved inode_sync_wait() from end_writeback() it doesn't make sense
to call the function end_writeback() anymore. Rename it to clear_inode()
which well says what the function really does - set I_CLEAR flag.

This fixes the below reported false lockdep warning. e096d0c7e2
("lockdep: Add helper function for dir vs file i_mutex annotation") added
a similar annotation for every other inode in hugetlbfs but missed the
root inode because it was allocated by a separate function.
For HugeTLB fs we allow taking i_mutex in mmap. HugeTLB fs doesn't
support file write and its file read callback is modified in a05b0855fd
("hugetlbfs: avoid taking i_mutex from hugetlbfs_read()") to not take
i_mutex. Hence for HugeTLB fs with regular files we really don't take
i_mutex with mmap_sem held.

It was introduced by d1d5e05ffd ("hugetlbfs: return error code when
initializing module") but as Al pointed out, is a bad idea.
Quoted comments from Al:
"Note that unregister_filesystem() in module init is *always* wrong;
it's not an issue here (it's done too early to care about and
realistically the box is not going anywhere - it'll panic when attempt
to exec /sbin/init fails, if not earlier), but it's a damn bad
example.
Consider a normal fs module. Somebody loads it and in parallel with
that we get a mount attempt on that fs type. It comes between
register and failure exits that causes unregister; at that point we
are screwed since grabbing a reference to module as done by mount is
enough to prevent exit, but not to prevent the failure of init. As
the result, module will get freed when init fails, mounted fs of that
type be damned."
So remove it.

When calling shmget() with SHM_HUGETLB, shmget aligns the request size to
PAGE_SIZE, but this is not sufficient.
Modify hugetlb_file_setup() to align requests to the huge page size, and
to accept an address argument so that all alignment checks can be
performed in hugetlb_file_setup(), rather than in its callers. Change
newseg() and mmap_pgoff() to match the new prototype and eliminate a now

hugetlbfs_{get,put}_quota() are badly named. They don't interact with the
general quota handling code, and they don't much resemble its behaviour.
Rather than being about maintaining limits on on-disk block usage by
particular users, they are instead about maintaining limits on in-memory
page usage (including anonymous MAP_PRIVATE copied-on-write pages)
associated with a particular hugetlbfs filesystem instance.
Worse, they work by having callbacks to the hugetlbfs filesystem code from
the low-level page handling code, in particular from free_huge_page().
This is a layering violation of itself, but more importantly, if the
kernel does a get_user_pages() on hugepages (which can happen from KVM
amongst others), then the free_huge_page() can be delayed until after the
associated inode has already been freed. If an unmount occurs at the
wrong time, even the hugetlbfs superblock where the "quota" limits are
stored may have been freed.
Andrew Barry proposed a patch to fix this by having hugepages, instead of
storing a pointer to their address_space and reaching the superblock from
there, had the hugepages store pointers directly to the superblock,
bumping the reference count as appropriate to avoid it being freed.
Andrew Morton rejected that version, however, on the grounds that it made
the existing layering violation worse.
This is a reworked version of Andrew's patch, which removes the extra, and
some of the existing, layering violation. It works by introducing the
concept of a hugepage "subpool" at the lower hugepage mm layer - that is a
finite logical pool of hugepages to allocate from. hugetlbfs now creates
a subpool for each filesystem instance with a page limit set, and a
pointer to the subpool gets added to each allocated hugepage, instead of
the address_space pointer used now. The subpool has its own lifetime and
is only freed once all pages in it _and_ all other references to it (i.e.
superblocks) are gone.
subpools are optional - a NULL subpool pointer is taken by the code to
mean that no subpool limits are in effect.
Previous discussion of this bug found in: "Fix refcounting in hugetlbfs
quota handling.". See: https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/8/11/28 or
http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=126928970510627&w=1

Make a couple of small cleanups to linux/include/hugetlb.h. The
set_file_hugepages() function, which was not used anywhere is removed,
and the hugetlbfs_config and hugetlbfs_inode_info structures with its
HUGETLBFS_I helper function are moved into inode.c, the only place they
were used.
These structures are really linked to the hugetlbfs filesystem
specifically not to hugepage mm handling in general, so they belong in
the filesystem code not in a generally available header.
It would be nice to move the hugetlbfs_sb_info (superblock) structure in
there as well, but it's currently needed in a number of places via the
hstate_vma() and hstate_inode().

Taking i_mutex in hugetlbfs_read() can result in deadlock with mmap as
explained below
Thread A:
read() on hugetlbfs
hugetlbfs_read() called
i_mutex grabbed
hugetlbfs_read_actor() called
__copy_to_user() called
page fault is triggered
Thread B, sharing address space with A:
mmap() the same file
->mmap_sem is grabbed on task_B->mm->mmap_sem
hugetlbfs_file_mmap() is called
attempt to grab ->i_mutex and block waiting for A to give it up
Thread A:
pagefault handled blocked on attempt to grab task_A->mm->mmap_sem,
which happens to be the same thing as task_B->mm->mmap_sem. Block waiting
for B to give it up.
AFAIU the i_mutex locking was added to hugetlbfs_read() as per
http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0707.2/3066.html to take
care of the race between truncate and read. This patch fixes this by
looking at page->mapping under lock_page() (find_lock_page()) to ensure
that the inode didn't get truncated in the range during a parallel read.
Ideally we can extend the patch to make sure we don't increase i_size in
mmap. But that will break userspace, because applications will now have
to use truncate(2) to increase i_size in hugetlbfs.
Based on the original patch from Hillf Danton.

This patch adds a lightweight sync migrate operation MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT
mode that avoids writing back pages to backing storage. Async compaction
maps to MIGRATE_ASYNC while sync compaction maps to MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT.
For other migrate_pages users such as memory hotplug, MIGRATE_SYNC is
used.
This avoids sync compaction stalling for an excessive length of time,
particularly when copying files to a USB stick where there might be a
large number of dirty pages backed by a filesystem that does not support
->writepages.

Asynchronous compaction is used when allocating transparent hugepages to
avoid blocking for long periods of time. Due to reports of stalling,
there was a debate on disabling synchronous compaction but this severely
impacted allocation success rates. Part of the reason was that many dirty
pages are skipped in asynchronous compaction by the following check;
if (PageDirty(page) && !sync &&
mapping->a_ops->migratepage != migrate_page)
rc = -EBUSY;
This skips over all mapping aops using buffer_migrate_page() even though
it is possible to migrate some of these pages without blocking. This
patch updates the ->migratepage callback with a "sync" parameter. It is
the responsibility of the callback to fail gracefully if migration would
block.

Purely in-memory filesystems do not use the inode hash as the dcache
tells us if an entry already exists. As a result, they do not call
unlock_new_inode, and thus directory inodes do not get put into a
different lockdep class for i_sem.
We need the different lockdep classes, because the locking order for
i_mutex is different for directory inodes and regular inodes. Directory
inodes can do "readdir()", which takes i_mutex *before* possibly taking
mm->mmap_sem (due to a page fault while copying the directory entry to
user space).
In contrast, regular inodes can be mmap'ed, which takes mm->mmap_sem
before accessing i_mutex.
The two cases can never happen for the same inode, so no real deadlock
can occur, but without the different lockdep classes, lockdep cannot
understand that. As a result, if CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC is set, this
can lead to false positives from lockdep like below:

For a number of file systems that don't have a mount point (e.g. sockfs
and pipefs), they are not marked as long term. Therefore in
mntput_no_expire, all locks in vfs_mount lock are taken instead of just
local cpu's lock to aggregate reference counts when we release
reference to file objects. In fact, only local lock need to have been
taken to update ref counts as these file systems are in no danger of
going away until we are ready to unregister them.
The attached patch marks file systems using kern_mount without
mount point as long term. The contentions of vfs_mount lock
is now eliminated. Before un-registering such file system,
kern_unmount should be called to remove the long term flag and
make the mount point ready to be freed.

This patch series changes remove_from_page_cache()'s page ref counting
rule. Page cache ref count is decreased in delete_from_page_cache(). So
we don't need to decrease the page reference in callers.

RCU free the struct inode. This will allow:
- Subsequent store-free path walking patch. The inode must be consulted for
permissions when walking, so an RCU inode reference is a must.
- sb_inode_list_lock to be moved inside i_lock because sb list walkers who want
to take i_lock no longer need to take sb_inode_list_lock to walk the list in
the first place. This will simplify and optimize locking.
- Could remove some nested trylock loops in dcache code
- Could potentially simplify things a bit in VM land. Do not need to take the
page lock to follow page->mapping.
The downsides of this is the performance cost of using RCU. In a simple
creat/unlink microbenchmark, performance drops by about 10% due to inability to
reuse cache-hot slab objects. As iterations increase and RCU freeing starts
kicking over, this increases to about 20%.
In cases where inode lifetimes are longer (ie. many inodes may be allocated
during the average life span of a single inode), a lot of this cache reuse is
not applicable, so the regression caused by this patch is smaller.
The cache-hot regression could largely be avoided by using SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU,
however this adds some complexity to list walking and store-free path walking,
so I prefer to implement this at a later date, if it is shown to be a win in
real situations. I haven't found a regression in any non-micro benchmark so I
doubt it will be a problem.

WARN_ONCE is a bit strong for a deprecation warning, given that it spews a
huge backtrace.
