      [PATCH] Don't allow the stack to grow into hugetlb reserved regions · 0d59a01b
      Adam Litke 提交于
      When expanding the stack, we don't currently check if the VMA will cross
      into an area of the address space that is reserved for hugetlb pages.
      Subsequent faults on the expanded portion of such a VMA will confuse the
      low-level MMU code, resulting in an OOPS.  Check for this.

      [PATCH] mm: mremap correct rmap accounting · 701dfbc1
      Hugh Dickins 提交于
      Nick Piggin points out that page accounting on MIPS multiple ZERO_PAGEs
      is not maintained by its move_pte, and could lead to freeing a ZERO_PAGE.
      
      Instead of complicating that move_pte, just forget the minor optimization
      when mremapping, and change the one thing which needed it for correctness
      - filemap_xip use ZERO_PAGE(0) throughout instead of according to address.

      Fix balance_dirty_page() calculations with CONFIG_HIGHMEM · dc6e29da
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      This makes balance_dirty_page() always base its calculations on the
      amount of non-highmem memory in the machine, rather than try to base it
      on total memory and then falling back on non-highmem memory if the
      mapping it was writing wasn't highmem capable.
      
      This not only fixes a situation where two different writers can have
      wildly different notions about what is a "balanced" dirty state, but it
      also means that people with highmem machines don't run into an OOM
      situation when regular memory fills up with dirty pages.
      
      We used to try to handle the latter case by scaling down the dirty_ratio
      if the machine had a lot of highmem pages in page_writeback_init(), but
      it wasn't aggressive enough for some situations, and since basing the
      dirty ratio on highmem memory was broken in the first place, let's just
      stop doing so.
      
      (A variation of this theme fixed Justin Piszcz's OOM problem when
      copying an 18GB file on a RAID setup).
