bind_get() checks the device number it is called with. It uses MAX_RAW_MINORS for the upper bound. But MAX_RAW_MINORS is set at compile time while the actual number of raw devices can be set at runtime. This means the test can either be too strict or too lenient. And if the test ends up being too lenient bind_get() might try to access memory beyond what was allocated for "raw_devices". So check against the runtime value (max_raw_minors) in this function.

When the guest attempts to connect with the host when there may already be a connection with the host (as would be the case during the kdump/kexec path), it is difficult to guarantee timely response from the host. Starting with WS2012 R2, the host supports this ability to re-connect with the host (explicitly to support kexec). Prior to responding to the guest, the host needs to ensure that device states based on the previous connection to the host have been properly torn down. This may introduce unbounded delays. To deal with this issue, don't do a timed wait during the initial connect with the host. Signed-off-by: NK. Y.

In order to ensure the correct width cycles on the VME bus, the VME bridge drivers implement an algorithm to utilise the largest possible width reads and writes whilst maintaining natural alignment constraints. The algorithm currently looks at the start address rather than the current read/write address when determining whether a 16-bit width cycle is required to get to 32-bit alignment. This results in incorrect alignment, Reported-by: NJim Strouth <james.strouth@ge.com> Tested-by: NJim Strouth <james.strouth@ge.com> Signed-off-by: NMartyn Welch <martyn.welch@ge.com> Cc: stable <stable@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: NGreg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

Revert commit ef83b078 "PCI: Remove from bus_list and release resources in pci_release_dev()" that made some nasty race conditions become possible. For example, if a Thunderbolt link is unplugged and then replugged immediately, the pci_release_dev() resulting from the hot-remove code path may be racing with the hot-add code path which after that commit causes various kinds of breakage to happen (up to and including a hard crash of the whole system). Moreover, the problem that commit ef83b078 attempted to address cannot happen any more after commit 8a4c5c32 "PCI: Check parent kobject in pci_destroy_dev()", because pci_destroy_dev() will now return immediately if it has already been executed for the given device. Note, however, that the invocation of msi_remove_pci_irq_vectors() removed by commit ef83b078 from pci_free_resources() along with the other changes made by it is not added back because of subsequent code changes depending on that modification.

Current xen-selfballoon driver is too aggressive which may cause OOM be triggered more often. Eg. this bug reported by James: https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/11/21/158 There are two mainly reasons: 1) The original goal_page didn't consider some pages used by kernel space, like slab pages and pages used by device drivers. 2) The balloon driver may not give back memory to guest OS fast enough when the workload suddenly aquries a lot of physical memory. In both cases, the guest OS will suffer from memory pressure and OOM may be triggered. The fix is make xen-selfballoon driver not that aggressive by adding extra 10% of total ram pages to goal_page. It's more valuable to keep the guest system reliable and response faster than balloon out these 10% pages to XEN.

The grant mapping API does m2p_override unnecessarily: only gntdev needs it, for blkback and future netback patches it just cause a lock contention, as those pages never go to userspace. Therefore this series does the following: - the original functions were renamed to __gnttab_[un]map_refs, with a new parameter m2p_override - based on m2p_override either they follow the original behaviour, or just set the private flag and call set_phys_to_machine - gnttab_[un]map_refs are now a wrapper to call __gnttab_[un]map_refs with m2p_override false - a new function gnttab_[un]map_refs_userspace provides the old behaviour It also removes a stray space from page.h and change ret to 0 if XENFEAT_auto_translated_physmap, as that is the only possible return value there. v2: - move the storing of the old mfn in page->index to gnttab_map_refs - move the function header update to a separate patch v3: - a new approach to retain old behaviour where it needed - squash the patches into one v4: - move out the common bits from m2p* functions, and pass pfn/mfn as parameter - clear page->private before doing anything with the page, so m2p_find_override won't race with this v5: - change return value handling in __gnttab_[un]map_refs - remove a stray space in page.h - add detail why ret = 0 now at some places v6: - don't pass pfn to m2p* functions, just get it locally Signed-off-by: NZoltan Kiss <zoltan.kiss@citrix.com> Suggested-by: NDavid Vrabel <david.vrabel@citrix.com> Acked-by: NDavid Vrabel <david.vrabel@citrix.com> Acked-by: NStefano Stabellini <stefano.stabellini@eu.citrix.com> Signed-off-by: NKonrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com>

Finally, we separated zram->lock dependency from 32bit stat/ table handling so there is no reason to use rw_semaphore between read and write path so this patch removes the lock from read path totally and changes rw_semaphore with mutex. So, we could do old: read-read: OK read-write: NO write-write: NO Now: read-read: OK read-write: OK write-write: NO The below data proves mixed workload performs well 11 times and there is also enhance on write-write path because current rw-semaphore doesn't support SPIN_ON_OWNER. It's side effect but anyway good thing for us. Write-related tests perform better (from 61% to 1058%) but read path has good/bad(from -2.22% to 1.45%) but they are all marginal within stddev.

Currently, the zram table is protected by zram->lock but it's rather coarse-grained lock and it makes hard for scalibility. Let's use own rwlock instead of depending on zram->lock. This patch adds new locking so obviously, it would make slow but this patch is just prepartion for removing coarse-grained rw_semaphore(ie, zram->lock) which is hurdle about zram scalability.

Swap subsystem ask to zram "A" block free by swap_slot_free_notify but zram had been pended it without real freeing. Swap subsystem allocates "A" block for new data but request pended for a long time just handled and zram blindly free new data on the "A" block. :( That's why we couldn't remove handle pending free request right before zram-write.

This patch moves flush after taking init_lock so it prevents new request so that it closes the race.

Zram has lived in staging for a LONG LONG time and have been fixed/improved by many contributors so code is clean and stable now. Of course, there are lots of product using zram in real practice. The major TV companys have used zram as swap since two years ago and recently our production team released android smart phone with zram which is used as swap, too and recently Android Kitkat start to use zram for small memory smart phone. And there was a report Google released their ChromeOS with zram, too and cyanogenmod have been used zram long time ago. And I heard some disto have used zram block device for tmpfs. In addition, I saw many report from many other peoples. For example, Lubuntu start to use it. The benefit of zram is very clear. With my experience, one of the benefit was to remove jitter of video application with backgroud memory pressure. It would be effect of efficient memory usage by compression but more issue is whether swap is there or not in the system. Recent mobile platforms have used JAVA so there are many anonymous pages. But embedded system normally are reluctant to use eMMC or SDCard as swap because there is wear-leveling and latency issues so if we do not use swap, it means we can't reclaim anoymous pages and at last, we could encounter OOM kill. :( Although we have real storage as swap, it was a problem, too. Because it sometime ends up making system very unresponsible caused by slow swap storage performance. Quote from Luigi on Google "Since Chrome OS was mentioned: the main reason why we don't use swap to a disk (rotating or SSD) is because it doesn't degrade gracefully and leads to a bad interactive experience. Generally we prefer to manage RAM at a higher level, by transparently killing and restarting processes. But we noticed that zram is fast enough to be competitive with the latter, and it lets us make more efficient use of the available RAM. " and he announced. http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-mm/msg57717.html Other uses case is to use zram for block device. Zram is block device so anyone can format the block device and mount on it so some guys on the internet start zram as /var/tmp. http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-838198-start-0.html Let's promote zram and enhance/maintain it instead of removing.

This patch moves zsmalloc under mm directory. Before that, description will explain why we have needed custom allocator. Zsmalloc is a new slab-based memory allocator for storing compressed pages. It is designed for low fragmentation and high allocation success rate on large object, but <= PAGE_SIZE allocations. zsmalloc differs from the kernel slab allocator in two primary ways to achieve these design goals. zsmalloc never requires high order page allocations to back slabs, or "size classes" in zsmalloc terms. Instead it allows multiple single-order pages to be stitched together into a "zspage" which backs the slab. This allows for higher allocation success rate under memory pressure. Also, zsmalloc allows objects to span page boundaries within the zspage. This allows for lower fragmentation than could be had with the kernel slab allocator for objects between PAGE_SIZE/2 and PAGE_SIZE. With the kernel slab allocator, if a page compresses to 60% of it original size, the memory savings gained through compression is lost in fragmentation because another object of the same size can't be stored in the leftover space. This ability to span pages results in zsmalloc allocations not being directly addressable by the user. The user is given an non-dereferencable handle in response to an allocation request. That handle must be mapped, using zs_map_object(), which returns a pointer to the mapped region that can be used. The mapping is necessary since the object data may reside in two different noncontigious pages. The zsmalloc fulfills the allocation needs for zram perfectly [sjenning@linux.vnet.ibm.com: borrow Seth's quote] Signed-off-by: NMinchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org> Acked-by: NNitin Gupta <ngupta@vflare.org> Reviewed-by: NKonrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com> Cc: Bob Liu <bob.liu@oracle.com> Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> Cc: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Cc: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk> Cc: Luigi Semenzato <semenzato@google.com> Cc: Mel Gorman <mgorman@suse.de> Cc: Pekka Enberg <penberg@kernel.org> Cc: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Cc: Seth Jennings <sjenning@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: NAndrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Currently we kfree the container of the device which failed to register. This is wrong as the last reference is not given up with a put_device call.

The use of phys_to_machine and machine_to_phys in the phys<=>bus conversions causes us to lose the top bits of the DMA address if the size of a DMA address is not the same as the size of the phyiscal address. This can happen in practice on ARM where foreign pages can be above 4GB even though the local kernel does not have LPAE page tables enabled (which is totally reasonable if the guest does not itself have >4GB of RAM). In this case the kernel still maps the foreign pages at a phys addr below 4G (as it must) but the resulting DMA address (returned by the grant map operation) is much higher. This is analogous to a hardware device which has its view of RAM mapped up high for some reason. This patch makes I/O to foreign pages (specifically blkif) work on 32-bit ARM systems with more than 4GB of RAM.

This patch fixes a percpu_ref_put race for se_lun->lun_ref in transport_lun_remove_cmd() where ->lun_ref could end up being put more than once per command via different target completion and fabric release contexts. It adds a cmpxchg() for se_cmd->lun_ref_active to ensure that percpu_ref_put() is only ever called once per se_cmd. This bug was manifesting itself as a LUN shutdown regression bug in >= v3.13 code, where percpu_ref_kill() would end up hanging indefinately due to the incorrect percpu_ref count.

When creating network portals rapidly, such as when restoring a configuration, LIO's code to reuse existing portals can return a false negative if the thread hasn't run yet and set np_thread_state to ISCSI_NP_THREAD_ACTIVE. This causes an error in the network stack when attempting to bind to the same address/port. This patch sets NP_THREAD_ACTIVE before the np is placed on g_np_list, so even if the thread hasn't run yet, iscsit_get_np will return the existing np. Also, convert np_lock -> np_mutex + hold across adding new net portal to g_np_list to prevent a race where two threads may attempt to create the same network portal, resulting in one of them failing.

This is effectively a revert of 4573388c. Forcing a display active when there is none causes problems with dpm on some SI boards which results in improperly initialized dpm state and boot failures on some boards. As for the bug commit 4573388c tried to address, one can manually force the state to high for better performance when using the card as a headless compute node until a better fix is developed. bugs: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=73788 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=69395Signed-off-by: NAlex Deucher <alexander.deucher@amd.com> cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
