Use cmpxchg() to atomically set i_flags instead of clearing out the S_IMMUTABLE, S_APPEND, etc. flags and then setting them from the EXT4_IMMUTABLE_FL, EXT4_APPEND_FL flags, since this opens up a race where an immutable file has the immutable flag cleared for a brief window of time.

skb_network_protocol() already accounts for multiple vlan headers that may be present in the skb. However, skb_mac_gso_segment() doesn't know anything about it and assumes that skb->mac_len is set correctly to skip all mac headers. That may not always be the case. If we are simply forwarding the packet (via bridge or macvtap), all vlan headers may not be accounted for. A simple solution is to allow skb_network_protocol to return the vlan depth it has calculated. This way skb_mac_gso_segment will correctly skip all mac headers.

skb_zerocopy can copy elements of the frags array between skbs, but it doesn't orphan them. Also, it doesn't handle errors, so this patch takes care of that as well, and modify the callers accordingly. skb_tx_error() is also added to the callers so they will signal the failed delivery towards the creator of the skb.

Add remove_linear_migration_ptes_from_nonlinear(), to fix an interesting little include/linux/swapops.h:131 BUG_ON(!PageLocked) found by trinity: indicating that remove_migration_ptes() failed to find one of the migration entries that was temporarily inserted. The problem comes from remap_file_pages()'s switch from vma_interval_tree (good for inserting the migration entry) to i_mmap_nonlinear list (no good for locating it again); but can only be a problem if the remap_file_pages() range does not cover the whole of the vma (zap_pte() clears the range). remove_migration_ptes() needs a file_nonlinear method to go down the i_mmap_nonlinear list, applying linear location to look for migration entries in those vmas too, just in case there was this race. The file_nonlinear method does need rmap_walk_control.arg to do this; but it never needed vma passed in - vma comes from its own iteration.

The following pattern is currently not well supported by RCU: 1. Make data element inaccessible to RCU readers. 2. Do work that probably lasts for more than one grace period. 3. Do something to make sure RCU readers in flight before #1 above have completed. Here are some things that could currently be done: a. Do a synchronize_rcu() unconditionally at either #1 or #3 above. This works, but imposes needless work and latency. b. Post an RCU callback at #1 above that does a wakeup, then wait for the wakeup at #3. This works well, but likely results in an extra unneeded grace period. Open-coding this is also a bit more semi-tricky code than would be good. This commit therefore adds get_state_synchronize_rcu() and cond_synchronize_rcu() APIs. Call get_state_synchronize_rcu() at #1 above and pass its return value to cond_synchronize_rcu() at #3 above. This results in a call to synchronize_rcu() if no grace period has elapsed between #1 and #3, but requires only a load, comparison, and memory barrier if a full grace period did elapse.

Tejun says: "At least for libata, worrying about suspend/resume failures don't make whole lot of sense. If suspend failed, just proceed with suspend. If the device can't be woken up afterwards, that's that. There isn't anything we could have done differently anyway. The same for resume, if spinup fails, the device is dud and the following commands will invoke EH actions and will eventually fail. Again, there really isn't any *choice* to make. Just making sure the errors are handled gracefully (ie. don't crash) and the following commands are handled correctly should be enough." The only libata user that actually cares about the result from a suspend operation is libsas. However, it only cares about whether queuing a new operation collides with an in-flight one. All libsas does with the error is retry, but we can just let libata wait for the previous operation before continuing. Other cleanups include: 1/ Unifying all ata port pm operations on an ata_port_pm_ prefix 2/ Marking all ata port pm helper routines as returning void, only ata_port_pm_ entry points need to fake a 0 return value. 3/ Killing ata_port_{suspend|resume}_common() in favor of calling ata_port_request_pm() directly 4/ Killing the wrappers that just do a to_ata_port() conversion 5/ Clearly marking the entry points that do async operations with an _async suffix.

The NCM specification require that many of the NCM specific control reuests are sent only while the NCM Data Interface is in alternate setting 0.

GFP_THISNODE is for callers that implement their own clever fallback to remote nodes. It restricts the allocation to the specified node and does not invoke reclaim, assuming that the caller will take care of it when the fallback fails, e.g. through a subsequent allocation request without GFP_THISNODE set. However, many current GFP_THISNODE users only want the node exclusive aspect of the flag, without actually implementing their own fallback or triggering reclaim if necessary. This results in things like page migration failing prematurely even when there is easily reclaimable memory available, unless kswapd happens to be running already or a concurrent allocation attempt triggers the necessary reclaim. Convert all callsites that don't implement their own fallback strategy to __GFP_THISNODE. This restricts the allocation a single node too, but at the same time allows the allocator to enter the slowpath, wake kswapd, and invoke direct reclaim if necessary, to make the allocation happen when memory is full.

Our write() system call has always been atomic in the sense that you get the expected thread-safe contiguous write, but we haven't actually guaranteed that concurrent writes are serialized wrt f_pos accesses, so threads (or processes) that share a file descriptor and use "write()" concurrently would quite likely overwrite each others data. This violates POSIX.1-2008/SUSv4 Section XSI 2.9.7 that says: "2.9.7 Thread Interactions with Regular File Operations All of the following functions shall be atomic with respect to each other in the effects specified in POSIX.1-2008 when they operate on regular files or symbolic links: [...]" and one of the effects is the file position update. This unprotected file position behavior is not new behavior, and nobody has ever cared. Until now. Yongzhi Pan reported unexpected behavior to Michael Kerrisk that was due to this. This resolves the issue with a f_pos-specific lock that is taken by read/write/lseek on file descriptors that may be shared across threads or processes.

security_xfrm_policy_alloc can be called in atomic context so the allocation should be done with GFP_ATOMIC. Add an argument to let the callers choose the appropriate way. In order to do so a gfp argument needs to be added to the method xfrm_policy_alloc_security in struct security_operations and to the internal function selinux_xfrm_alloc_user. After that switch to GFP_ATOMIC in the atomic callers and leave GFP_KERNEL as before for the rest. The path that needed the gfp argument addition is: security_xfrm_policy_alloc -> security_ops.xfrm_policy_alloc_security -> all users of xfrm_policy_alloc_security (e.g. selinux_xfrm_policy_alloc) -> selinux_xfrm_alloc_user (here the allocation used to be GFP_KERNEL only) Now adding a gfp argument to selinux_xfrm_alloc_user requires us to also add it to security_context_to_sid which is used inside and prior to this patch did only GFP_KERNEL allocation. So add gfp argument to security_context_to_sid and adjust all of its callers as well.

Peter Hurley noticed that since a2c1c57b ("workqueue: consider work function when searching for busy work items"), a work item which gets assigned a different work function would break out of the non-reentrancy guarantee as workqueue would consider it a different work item. This is fragile and extremely subtle. PREPARE_[DELAYED_]WORK() have never been used widely and its semantics has always been somewhat iffy. If the work item is known not to be on queue when PREPARE_WORK() is called, there's no difference from using INIT_WORK(). If the work item may be queued at the time of PREPARE_WORK(), we can't really tell whether the old or new function will be executed the next time. We really don't want this level of subtlety in workqueue interface for such marginal use cases. The previous patches converted all existing users away from PREPARE_[DELAYED_]WORK().

Introduce nvme_reset_workfn() which invokes nvme_dev->reset_workfn and always use it as the work function and update the users to set the ->reset_workfn field instead of overriding the work function using PREPARE_WORK().

There's no good reason to keep efi_enabled() under CONFIG_X86 anymore, since nothing about the implementation is specific to x86. Set EFI feature flags in the ia64 boot path instead of claiming to support all features. The old behaviour was actually buggy since efi.memmap never points to a valid memory map, so we shouldn't be claiming to support EFI_MEMMAP. Fortunately, this bug was never triggered because EFI_MEMMAP isn't used outside of arch/x86 currently, but that may not always be the case.

As we grow support for more EFI architectures they're going to want the ability to query which EFI features are available on the running system. Instead of storing this information in an architecture-specific place, stick it in the global 'struct efi', which is already the central location for EFI state. While we're at it, let's change the return value of efi_enabled() to be bool and replace all references to 'facility' with 'feature', which is the usual word used to describe the attributes of the running system.

When doing some numa tests on powerpc, I triggered an oops bug. I find it is caused by using page->_last_cpupid. It should be initialized as "-1 & LAST_CPUPID_MASK", but not "-1". Otherwise, in task_numa_fault(), we will miss the checking (last_cpupid == (-1 & LAST_CPUPID_MASK)). And finally cause an oops bug in task_numa_group(), since the online cpu is less than possible cpu.

This can be reproduced with default config since 3.11 kernels. A reproducer can be found in the kernel's selftest directory for networking by running ./psock_tpacket. The problem is that an order=2 compound page (allocated by alloc_one_pg_vec_page() is part of the munlocked VM_MIXEDMAP vma (mapped by packet_mmap()) and mistaken for a THP page and assumed to be order=9. The checks for THP in munlock came with commit ff6a6da6 ("mm: accelerate munlock() treatment of THP pages"), i.e. since 3.9, but did not trigger a bug. It just makes munlock_vma_pages_range() skip such compound pages until the next 512-pages-aligned page, when it encounters a head page. This is however not a problem for vma's where mlocking has no effect anyway, but it can distort the accounting. Since commit 7225522b ("mm: munlock: batch non-THP page isolation and munlock+putback using pagevec") this can trigger a VM_BUG_ON in PageTransHuge() check. This patch fixes the issue by adding VM_MIXEDMAP flag to VM_SPECIAL, a list of flags that make vma's non-mlockable and non-mergeable. The reasoning is that VM_MIXEDMAP vma's are similar to VM_PFNMAP, which is already on the VM_SPECIAL list, and both are intended for non-LRU pages where mlocking makes no sense anyway.

Commit bf6bddf1 ("mm: introduce compaction and migration for ballooned pages") introduces page_count(page) into memory compaction which dereferences page->first_page if PageTail(page). This results in a very rare NULL pointer dereference on the aforementioned page_count(page). Indeed, anything that does compound_head(), including page_count() is susceptible to racing with prep_compound_page() and seeing a NULL or dangling page->first_page pointer. This patch uses Andrea's implementation of compound_trans_head() that deals with such a race and makes it the default compound_head() implementation. This includes a read memory barrier that ensures that if PageTail(head) is true that we return a head page that is neither NULL nor dangling. The patch then adds a store memory barrier to prep_compound_page() to ensure page->first_page is set. This is the safest way to ensure we see the head page that we are expecting, PageTail(page) is already in the unlikely() path and the memory barriers are unfortunately required. Hugetlbfs is the exception, we don't enforce a store memory barrier during init since no race is possible.

Instead of explicitly changing compat system call parameters from e.g. unsigned long to compat_ulong_t let the COMPAT_SYSCALL_WRAP macros automatically detect (unsigned) long parameters and zero and sign extend them automatically. The resulting binary is completely identical. In addition add a sys_[system call name] prototype for each system call wrapper. This will cause compile errors if the prototype does not match the prototype in include/linux/syscall.h. Therefore we should now always get the correct zero and sign extension of system call parameters. Pointers are handled like before. Signed-off-by: NHeiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> -
