Recent network changes allowed high order pages being used
for skb fragments.
This uncovered a bug in do_tcp_sendpages() which was assuming its caller
provided an array of order-0 page pointers.
We only have to deal with a single page in this function, and its order
is irrelevant.

8376fe22c7 ("workqueue: implement mod_delayed_work[_on]()")
implemented mod_delayed_work[_on]() using the improved
try_to_grab_pending(). The function is later used, among others, to
replace [__]candel_delayed_work() + queue_delayed_work() combinations.
Unfortunately, a delayed_work item w/ zero @delay is handled slightly
differently by mod_delayed_work_on() compared to
queue_delayed_work_on(). The latter skips timer altogether and
directly queues it using queue_work_on() while the former schedules
timer which will expire on the closest tick. This means, when @delay
is zero, that [__]cancel_delayed_work() + queue_delayed_work_on()
makes the target item immediately executable while
mod_delayed_work_on() may induce delay of upto a full tick.
This somewhat subtle difference breaks some of the converted users.
e.g. block queue plugging uses delayed_work for deferred processing
and uses mod_delayed_work_on() when the queue needs to be immediately
unplugged. The above problem manifested as noticeably higher number
of context switches under certain circumstances.
The difference in behavior was caused by missing special case handling
for 0 delay in mod_delayed_work_on() compared to
queue_delayed_work_on(). Joonsoo Kim posted a patch to add it -
("workqueue: optimize mod_delayed_work_on() when @delay == 0")[1].
The patch was queued for 3.8 but it was described as optimization and
I missed that it was a correctness issue.
As both queue_delayed_work_on() and mod_delayed_work_on() use
__queue_delayed_work() for queueing, it seems that the better approach
is to move the 0 delay special handling to the function instead of
duplicating it in mod_delayed_work_on().
Fix the problem by moving 0 delay special case handling from
queue_delayed_work_on() to __queue_delayed_work(). This replaces
Joonsoo's patch.

When a cpu enters S3 state, the FPU state is lost.
After resuming for S3, if we try to lazy restore the FPU for a process running
on the same CPU, this will result in a corrupted FPU context.
Ensure that "fpu_owner_task" is properly invalided when (re-)initializing a CPU,
so nobody will try to lazy restore a state which doesn't exist in the hardware.
Tested with a 64-bit kernel on a 4-core Ivybridge CPU with eagerfpu=off,
by doing thousands of suspend/resume cycles with 4 processes doing FPU
operations running. Without the patch, a process is killed after a
few hundreds cycles by a SIGFPE.

All architectures that use cmd_dtc do so in almost the same way. Create
a central build rule to avoid duplication. The one difference is that
most current uses of dtc build $(obj)/%.dtb from $(src)/dts/%.dts rather
than building the .dtb in the same directory as the .dts file. This
difference will be eliminated arch-by-arch in future patches.
MIPS is the exception here; it already uses the exact same rule as the
new common rule, so the duplicate is removed in this patch to avoid any
conflict. arch/mips changes courtesy of Ralf Baechle.
Update Documentation/kbuild to remove the explicit call to cmd_dtc from
the example, now that the rule exists in a centralized location.

With "mm: vmscan: scale number of pages reclaimed by reclaim/compaction
based on failures" reverted, Zdenek Kabelac reported the following
Hmm, so it's just took longer to hit the problem and observe
kswapd0 spinning on my CPU again - it's not as endless like before -
but still it easily eats minutes - it helps to turn off Firefox
or TB (memory hungry apps) so kswapd0 stops soon - and restart
those apps again. (And I still have like >1GB of cached memory)
kswapd0 R running task 0 30 2 0x00000000
Call Trace:
preempt_schedule+0x42/0x60
_raw_spin_unlock+0x55/0x60
put_super+0x31/0x40
drop_super+0x22/0x30
prune_super+0x149/0x1b0
shrink_slab+0xba/0x510
The sysrq+m indicates the system has no swap so it'll never reclaim
anonymous pages as part of reclaim/compaction. That is one part of the
problem but not the root cause as file-backed pages could also be
reclaimed.
The likely underlying problem is that kswapd is woken up or kept awake
for each THP allocation request in the page allocator slow path.
If compaction fails for the requesting process then compaction will be
deferred for a time and direct reclaim is avoided. However, if there
are a storm of THP requests that are simply rejected, it will still be
the the case that kswapd is awake for a prolonged period of time as
pgdat->kswapd_max_order is updated each time. This is noticed by the
main kswapd() loop and it will not call kswapd_try_to_sleep(). Instead
it will loopp, shrinking a small number of pages and calling
shrink_slab() on each iteration.
This patch defers when kswapd gets woken up for THP allocations. For
!THP allocations, kswapd is always woken up. For THP allocations,
kswapd is woken up iff the process is willing to enter into direct
reclaim/compaction.

It apepars that this patch was innocent, and we hope that "mm: avoid
waking kswapd for THP allocations when compaction is deferred or
contended" will fix the final kswapd-spinning cause.

Kswapd does not in all places have the same criteria for a balanced
zone. Zones are only being reclaimed when their high watermark is
breached, but compaction checks loop over the zonelist again when the
zone does not meet the low watermark plus two times the size of the
allocation. This gets kswapd stuck in an endless loop over a small
zone, like the DMA zone, where the high watermark is smaller than the
compaction requirement.
Add a function, zone_balanced(), that checks the watermark, and, for
higher order allocations, if compaction has enough free memory. Then
use it uniformly to check for balanced zones.
This makes sure that when the compaction watermark is not met, at least
reclaim happens and progress is made - or the zone is declared
unreclaimable at some point and skipped entirely.

Commit ef6c5be658 ("fix incorrect NR_FREE_PAGES accounting (appears
like memory leak)") fixes a NR_FREE_PAGE accounting leak but missed the
return value which was also missed by this reviewer until today.
That return value is used by compaction when adding pages to a list of
isolated free pages and without this follow-up fix, there is a risk of
free list corruption.

We really don't want to look at the block size for the raw block device
accesses in fs/block-dev.c, because it may be changing from under us.
So get rid of the max_block logic entirely, since the caller should
already have done it anyway.
That leaves the only user of this function in fs/buffer.c, so move the
whole function there and make it static.
Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
Since directio can work on a raw block device, and the block size of the
device can change under it, we need to do the same thing that
fs/buffer.c now does: read the block size a single time, using
ACCESS_ONCE().
Reading it multiple times can get different results, which will then
confuse the code because it actually encodes the i_blksize in
relationship to the underlying logical blocksize.
Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
This reverts the block-device direct access code to the previous
unlocked code, now that fs/buffer.c no longer needs external locking.
With this, fs/block_dev.c is back to the original version, apart from a
whitespace cleanup that I didn't want to revert.
Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
This makes the buffer size handling be a per-page thing, which allows us
to not have to worry about locking too much when changing the buffer
size. If a page doesn't have buffers, we still need to read the block
size from the inode, but we can do that with ACCESS_ONCE(), so that even
if the size is changing, we get a consistent value.
This doesn't convert all functions - many of the buffer functions are
used purely by filesystems, which in turn results in the buffer size
being fixed at mount-time. So they don't have the same consistency
issues that the raw device access can have.

Race between bonding_store_slaves_active() and slave manipulation
functions. The bond_for_each_slave use in bonding_store_slaves_active()
is not protected by any synchronization mechanism.
NULL pointer dereference is easy to reach.

First I would give three observations which will be used later.
Observation 1: if (delayed_work_pending(wq)) cancel_delayed_work(wq)
This usage is wrong because the pending bit is cleared just before the
work's fn is executed and if the function re-arms itself we might end up
with the work still running. It's safe to call cancel_delayed_work_sync()
even if the work is not queued at all.
Observation 2: Use of INIT_DELAYED_WORK()
Work needs to be initialized only once prior to (de/en)queueing.
Observation 3: IFF_UP is set only after ndo_open is called
Related race conditions:
1. Race between bonding_store_miimon() and bonding_store_arp_interval()
Because of Obs.1 we can end up having both works enqueued.
2. Multiple races with INIT_DELAYED_WORK()
Since the works are not protected by anything between INIT_DELAYED_WORK()
and calls to (en/de)queue it is possible for races between the following
functions:
(races are also possible between the calls to INIT_DELAYED_WORK()
and workqueue code)
bonding_store_miimon() - bonding_store_arp_interval(), bond_close(),
bond_open(), enqueued functions
bonding_store_arp_interval() - bonding_store_miimon(), bond_close(),
bond_open(), enqueued functions
3. By Obs.1 we need to change bond_cancel_all()
Bugs 1 and 2 are fixed by moving all work initializations in bond_open
which by Obs. 2 and Obs. 3 and the fact that we make sure that all works
are cancelled in bond_close(), is guaranteed not to have any work
enqueued.
Also RTNL lock is now acquired in bonding_store_miimon/arp_interval so
they can't race with bond_close and bond_open. The opposing work is
cancelled only if the IFF_UP flag is set and it is cancelled
unconditionally. The opposing work is already cancelled if the interface
is down so no need to cancel it again. This way we don't need new
synchronizations for the bonding workqueue. These bugs (and fixes) are
tied together and belong in the same patch.
Note: I have left 1 line intentionally over 80 characters (84) because I
didn't like how it looks broken down. If you'd prefer it otherwise,
then simply break it.

Commit c22618a1, "drivers/of: Constify device_node->name and

the PowerPC scom code still assigns it to a non-void field in
debugfs_blob_wrapper. The /right/ solution might be to change the
debugfs_blob_wrapper->data to also be const, but that is a bit
risky. Instead, cast the value to (void*). It is a bit ugly, but it
is the safest change until it can be investigated where
debugfs_blob_wrapper can be modified.
