dmapool always calls dma_alloc_coherent() with GFP_ATOMIC flag, regardless the flags provided by the caller. This causes excessive pruning of emergency memory pools without any good reason. Additionaly, on ARM architecture any driver which is using dmapools will sooner or later trigger the following error: "ERROR: 256 KiB atomic DMA coherent pool is too small! Please increase it with coherent_pool= kernel parameter!". Increasing the coherent pool size usually doesn't help much and only delays such error, because all GFP_ATOMIC DMA allocations are always served from the special, very limited memory pool. This patch changes the dmapool code to correctly use gfp flags provided by the dmapool caller.

Pull networking fixes from David Miller: 1) Netlink socket dumping had several missing verifications and checks. In particular, address comparisons in the request byte code interpreter could access past the end of the address in the inet_request_sock. Also, address family and address prefix lengths were not validated properly at all. This means arbitrary applications can read past the end of certain kernel data structures. Fixes from Neal Cardwell. 2) ip_check_defrag() operates in contexts where we're in the process of, or about to, input the packet into the real protocols (specifically macvlan and AF_PACKET snooping). Unfortunately, it does a pskb_may_pull() which can modify the backing packet data which is not legal if the SKB is shared. It very much can be shared in this context. Deal with the possibility that the SKB is segmented by using skb_copy_bits(). Fix from Johannes Berg based upon a report by Eric Leblond. * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net: ipv4: ip_check_defrag must not modify skb before unsharing inet_diag: validate port comparison byte code to prevent unsafe reads inet_diag: avoid unsafe and nonsensical prefix matches in inet_diag_bc_run() inet_diag: validate byte code to prevent oops in inet_diag_bc_run() inet_diag: fix oops for IPv4 AF_INET6 TCP SYN-RECV state

This reverts commits a5091539 and d7c3b937. This is a revert of a revert of a revert. In addition, it reverts the even older i915 change to stop using the __GFP_NO_KSWAPD flag due to the original commits in linux-next. It turns out that the original patch really was bogus, and that the original revert was the correct thing to do after all. We thought we had fixed the problem, and then reverted the revert, but the problem really is fundamental: waking up kswapd simply isn't the right thing to do, and direct reclaim sometimes simply _is_ the right thing to do. When certain allocations fail, we simply should try some direct reclaim, and if that fails, fail the allocation. That's the right thing to do for THP allocations, which can easily fail, and the GPU allocations want to do that too. So starting kswapd is sometimes simply wrong, and removing the flag that said "don't start kswapd" was a mistake. Let's hope we never revisit this mistake again - and certainly not this many times ;) Acked-by: NMel Gorman <mgorman@suse.de> Acked-by: NJohannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Cc: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

ip_check_defrag() might be called from af_packet within the RX path where shared SKBs are used, so it must not modify the input SKB before it has unshared it for defragmentation. Use skb_copy_bits() to get the IP header and only pull in everything later. The same is true for the other caller in macvlan as it is called from dev->rx_handler which can also get a shared SKB.

This reverts commit 782fd304. We are going to reinstate the __GFP_NO_KSWAPD flag that has been removed, the removal reverted, and then removed again. Making this commit a pointless fixup for a problem that was caused by the removal of __GFP_NO_KSWAPD flag. The thing is, we really don't want to wake up kswapd for THP allocations (because they fail quite commonly under any kind of memory pressure, including when there is tons of memory free), and these patches were just trying to fix up the underlying bug: the original removal of __GFP_NO_KSWAPD in commit c6543459 ("mm: remove __GFP_NO_KSWAPD") was simply bogus.

Add logic to verify that a port comparison byte code operation actually has the second inet_diag_bc_op from which we read the port for such operations. Previously the code blindly referenced op[1] without first checking whether a second inet_diag_bc_op struct could fit there. So a malicious user could make the kernel read 4 bytes beyond the end of the bytecode array by claiming to have a whole port comparison byte code (2 inet_diag_bc_op structs) when in fact the bytecode was not long enough to hold both.

Add logic to check the address family of the user-supplied conditional and the address family of the connection entry. We now do not do prefix matching of addresses from different address families (AF_INET vs AF_INET6), except for the previously existing support for having an IPv4 prefix match an IPv4-mapped IPv6 address (which this commit maintains as-is). This change is needed for two reasons: (1) The addresses are different lengths, so comparing a 128-bit IPv6 prefix match condition to a 32-bit IPv4 connection address can cause us to unwittingly walk off the end of the IPv4 address and read garbage or oops. (2) The IPv4 and IPv6 address spaces are semantically distinct, so a simple bit-wise comparison of the prefixes is not meaningful, and would lead to bogus results (except for the IPv4-mapped IPv6 case, which this commit maintains).

Fix inet_diag to be aware of the fact that AF_INET6 TCP connections instantiated for IPv4 traffic and in the SYN-RECV state were actually created with inet_reqsk_alloc(), instead of inet6_reqsk_alloc(). This means that for such connections inet6_rsk(req) returns a pointer to a random spot in memory up to roughly 64KB beyond the end of the request_sock. With this bug, for a server using AF_INET6 TCP sockets and serving IPv4 traffic, an inet_diag user like `ss state SYN-RECV` would lead to inet_diag_fill_req() causing an oops or the export to user space of 16 bytes of kernel memory as a garbage IPv6 address, depending on where the garbage inet6_rsk(req) pointed.

commit c702418f ("mm: vmscan: do not keep kswapd looping forever due to individual uncompactable zones") removed zone watermark checks from the compaction code in kswapd but left in the zone congestion clearing, which now happens unconditionally on higher order reclaim. This messes up the reclaim throttling logic for zones with dirty/writeback pages, where zones should only lose their congestion status when their watermarks have been restored. Remove the clearing from the zone compaction section entirely. The preliminary zone check and the reclaim loop in kswapd will clear it if the zone is considered balanced.

The direct-IO write path already had the i_size checks in mm/filemap.c, but it turns out the read path did not, and removing the block size checks in fs/block_dev.c (commit bbec0270: "blkdev_max_block: make private to fs/buffer.c") removed the magic "shrink IO to past the end of the device" code there. Fix it by truncating the IO to the size of the block device, like the write path already does. NOTE! I suspect the write path would be *much* better off doing it this way in fs/block_dev.c, rather than hidden deep in mm/filemap.c. The mm/filemap.c code is extremely hard to follow, and has various conditionals on the target being a block device (ie the flag passed in to 'generic_write_checks()', along with a conditional update of the inode timestamp etc). It is also quite possible that we should treat this whole block device size as a "s_maxbytes" issue, and try to make the logic even more generic. However, in the meantime this is the fairly minimal targeted fix. Noted by Milan Broz thanks to a regression test for the cryptsetup reencrypt tool.

Most drivers do use a page fragment, but some of them use GFP_KERNEL allocations for the initial fill of their RX ring buffer. napi_gro_flush() overwrite skb->prev that was used for these skb to point to the last skb in frag_list.

If SYN-ACK partially acks SYN-data, the client retransmits the remaining data by tcp_retransmit_skb(). This increments lost recovery state variables like tp->retrans_out in Open state. If loss recovery happens before the retransmission is acked, it triggers the WARN_ON check in tcp_fastretrans_alert(). For example: the client sends SYN-data, gets SYN-ACK acking only ISN, retransmits data, sends another 4 data packets and get 3 dupacks. Since the retransmission is not caused by network drop it should not update the recovery state variables. Further the server may return a smaller MSS than the cached MSS used for SYN-data, so the retranmission needs a loop. Otherwise some data will not be retransmitted until timeout or other loss recovery events.

This fixes a regression in 3.7-rc, which has since gone into stable. Commit 00442ad0 ("mempolicy: fix a memory corruption by refcount imbalance in alloc_pages_vma()") changed get_vma_policy() to raise the refcount on a shmem shared mempolicy; whereas shmem_alloc_page() went on expecting alloc_page_vma() to drop the refcount it had acquired. This deserves a rework: but for now fix the leak in shmem_alloc_page(). Hugh: shmem_swapin() did not need a fix, but surely it's clearer to use the same refcounting there as in shmem_alloc_page(), delete its onstack mempolicy, and the strange mpol_cond_copy() and __mpol_cond_copy() - those were invented to let swapin_readahead() make an unknown number of calls to alloc_pages_vma() with one mempolicy; but since 00442ad0, alloc_pages_vma() has kept refcount in balance, so now no problem.

When a zone meets its high watermark and is compactable in case of higher order allocations, it contributes to the percentage of the node's memory that is considered balanced. This requirement, that a node be only partially balanced, came about when kswapd was desparately trying to balance tiny zones when all bigger zones in the node had plenty of free memory. Arguably, the same should apply to compaction: if a significant part of the node is balanced enough to run compaction, do not get hung up on that tiny zone that might never get in shape. When the compaction logic in kswapd is reached, we know that at least 25% of the node's memory is balanced properly for compaction (see zone_balanced and pgdat_balanced). Remove the individual zone checks that restart the kswapd cycle. Otherwise, we may observe more endless looping in kswapd where the compaction code loops back to reclaim because of a single zone and reclaim does nothing because the node is considered balanced overall.

Commit 0bf380bc ("mm: compaction: check pfn_valid when entering a new MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES block during isolation for migration") added a check for pfn_valid() when isolating pages for migration as the scanner does not necessarily start pageblock-aligned. Since commit c89511ab ("mm: compaction: Restart compaction from near where it left off"), the free scanner has the same problem. This patch makes sure that the pfn range passed to isolate_freepages_block() is within the same block so that pfn_valid() checks are unnecessary. In answer to Henrik's wondering why others have not reported this: reproducing this requires a large enough hole with the right aligment to have compaction walk into a PFN range with no memmap. Size and alignment depends in the memory model - 4M for FLATMEM and 128M for SPARSEMEM on x86. It needs a "lucky" machine.

The problem occurs [1] when a kernel-mode task returns from a system call with a pending signal. A real-life scenario is a child of 'khelper' returning from a failed kernel_execve() in ____call_usermodehelper() [ kernel/kmod.c ]. kernel_execve() fails due to a pending SIGKILL, which is the result of "kill -9 -1" (at least, busybox's init does it upon reboot). The loop is as follows: * syscall_exit_work: - work_pending: // start_of_the_loop - work_notifysig: - do_notify_resume() - do_signal() - if (!user_mode(regs)) return; - resume_userspace // TIF_SIGPENDING is still set - work_pending // so we call work_pending => goto // start_of_the_loop More information can be found in another LKML thread: http://www.serverphorums.com/read.php?12,457826 [1] The problem was also reproduced on !CONFIG_VM86 x86, and the following fix was accepted. http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=29a2e2836ff9ea65a603c89df217f4198973a74fSigned-off-by: NDmitry Adamushko <dmitry.adamushko@gmail.com> Cc: linux-mips@linux-mips.org Patchwork: https://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/3571/Signed-off-by: NRalf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>

Pull workqueue fixes from Tejun Heo: "So, safe fixes my ass. Commit 8852aac2 ("workqueue: mod_delayed_work_on() shouldn't queue timer on 0 delay") had the side-effect of performing delayed_work sanity checks even when @delay is 0, which should be fine for any sane use cases. Unfortunately, megaraid was being overly ingenious. It seemingly wanted to use cancel_delayed_work_sync() before cancel_work_sync() was introduced, but didn't want to waste the space for full delayed_work as it was only going to use 0 @delay. So, it only allocated space for struct work_struct and then cast it to struct delayed_work and passed it into delayed_work functions - truly awesome engineering tradeoff to save some bytes. Xiaotian fixed it by making megraid allocate full delayed_work for now. It should be converted to use work_struct and cancel_work_sync() but I think we better do that after 3.7. I added another commit to change BUG_ON()s in __queue_delayed_work() to WARN_ON_ONCE()s so that the kernel doesn't crash even if there are more such abuses." * 'for-3.7-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq: workqueue: convert BUG_ON()s in __queue_delayed_work() to WARN_ON_ONCE()s megaraid: fix BUG_ON() from incorrect use of delayed work

By using the native syscall entry point the kernel was also expecting 64-bit iovec structures. This is broken since ddd9e91b [preadv/ pwritev: MIPS: Add preadv(2) and pwritev(2) syscalls.] which originally added these two syscalls. I walked through piles of code, including libc and couldn't find anything that would have worked around the issue so this change the API to what it should always have been. Noticed and patch suggested by Al Viro. Signed-off-by: NRalf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>

Pull sparc fixes from David Miller: "Two small fixes for Sparc, nobody uses sparc, so these are low risk :-) 1) Piggyback is too picky about the symbol types that _start and _end have in the final kernel image, and it thus breaks with newer binutils. Future proof by getting rid of the symbol type checks. 2) exit_group() should kill register windows on sparc64 the same way we do for plain exit(). Thanks to Al Viro for spotting this." * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/sparc: sparc: Fix piggyback with newer binutils. sparc64: exit_group should kill register windows just like plain exit.
