      drivers/rtc/rtc-tps65910.c: fix invalid pointer access on _remove() · 1430e178
      Kim, Milo 提交于
      The tps65910_rtc data is registered as the platform driver data in
      _probe(= ).  Therefore the tps65910_rtc should be used on unregistering
      the rtc device.  And device pointer should be retrieved from the
      platform_device structure.
      
      This patch fixes the below oops:

      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.

      bonding: fix race condition in bonding_store_slaves_active · e196c0e5
      nikolay@redhat.com 提交于
      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.
       Fixed by acquiring the bond->lock for the slave walk.

      The module can be loaded with arp_ip_target="255.255.255.255" which makes

      bonding: fix miimon and arp_interval delayed work race conditions · fbb0c41b
      nikolay@redhat.com 提交于
      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.

      Revert "mm: remove __GFP_NO_KSWAPD" · 82b212f4
      Mel Gorman 提交于
      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

          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.
      
      The temptation is to supply a patch that checks if kswapd was woken for
      THP and if so ignore pgdat->kswapd_max_order but it'll be a hack and not
      backed up by proper testing.  As 3.7 is very close to release and this
      is not a bug we should release with, a safer path is to revert "mm:
      remove __GFP_NO_KSWAPD" for now and revisit it with the view to ironing
      out the balance_pgdat() logic in general.
