      mm: prepare VM_DONTDUMP for using in drivers · 0103bd16
      Konstantin Khlebnikov 提交于
      Rename VM_NODUMP into VM_DONTDUMP: this name matches other negative flags:
      VM_DONTEXPAND, VM_DONTCOPY.  Currently this flag used only for
      sys_madvise.  The next patch will use it for replacing the outdated flag
      VM_RESERVED.
      
      Also forbid madvise(MADV_DODUMP) for special kernel mappings VM_SPECIAL
      (VM_IO | VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_RESERVED | VM_PFNMAP)

      mm: kill vma flag VM_CAN_NONLINEAR · 0b173bc4
      Konstantin Khlebnikov 提交于
      Move actual pte filling for non-linear file mappings into the new special
      vma operation: ->remap_pages().
      
      Filesystems must implement this method to get non-linear mapping support,
      if it uses filemap_fault() then generic_file_remap_pages() can be used.
      
      Now device drivers can implement this method and obtain nonlinear vma support.

      exec: make de_thread() killable · d5bbd43d
      Oleg Nesterov 提交于
      Change de_thread() to use KILLABLE rather than UNINTERRUPTIBLE while
      waiting for other threads.  The only complication is that we should
      clear ->group_exit_task and ->notify_count before we return, and we
      should do this under tasklist_lock.  -EAGAIN is used to match the
      initial signal_group_exit() check/return, it doesn't really matter.
      
      This fixes the (unlikely) race with coredump.  de_thread() checks
      signal_group_exit() before it starts to kill the subthreads, but this
      can't help if another CLONE_VM (but non CLONE_THREAD) task starts the
      coredumping after de_thread() unlocks ->siglock.  In this case the
      killed sub-thread can block in exit_mm() waiting for coredump_finish(),
      execing thread waits for that sub-thead, and the coredumping thread
      waits for execing thread.  Deadlock.

      ext4: fix ext4_flush_completed_IO wait semantics · c278531d
      Dmitry Monakhov 提交于
      BUG #1) All places where we call ext4_flush_completed_IO are broken
          because buffered io and DIO/AIO goes through three stages
          1) submitted io,
          2) completed io (in i_completed_io_list) conversion pended
          3) finished  io (conversion done)
          And by calling ext4_flush_completed_IO we will flush only
          requests which were in (2) stage, which is wrong because:
           1) punch_hole and truncate _must_ wait for all outstanding unwritten io
            regardless to it's state.
           2) fsync and nolock_dio_read should also wait because there is
              a time window between end_page_writeback() and ext4_add_complete_io()
              As result integrity fsync is broken in case of buffered write
              to fallocated region:
              fsync                                      blkdev_completion
      	 ->filemap_write_and_wait_range
                                                         ->ext4_end_bio
                                                           ->end_page_writeback
                <-- filemap_write_and_wait_range return
      	 ->ext4_flush_completed_IO
         	 sees empty i_completed_io_list but pended
         	 conversion still exist
                                                           ->ext4_add_complete_io
      
      BUG #2) Race window becomes wider due to the 'ext4: completed_io
      locking cleanup V4' patch series
      
      This patch make following changes:
      1) ext4_flush_completed_io() now first try to flush completed io and when
         wait for any outstanding unwritten io via ext4_unwritten_wait()
      2) Rename function to more appropriate name.
      3) Assert that all callers of ext4_flush_unwritten_io should hold i_mutex to
         prevent endless wait
