commit cb428152 upstream. Rx filter reset and the dynamic tx switch mode (EXT_RESOURCE_CFG) configuration are causing the following errors when UTF firmware is loaded to the target. Error message 1: [ 598.015629] ath10k_pci 0001:01:00.0: failed to ping firmware: -110 [ 598.020828] ath10k_pci 0001:01:00.0: failed to reset rx filter: -110 [ 598.141556] ath10k_pci 0001:01:00.0: failed to start core (testmode): -110 Error message 2: [ 668.615839] ath10k_ahb a000000.wifi: failed to send ext resource cfg command : -95 [ 668.618902] ath10k_ahb a000000.wifi: failed to start core (testmode): -95 Avoiding these configurations while bringing the target in testmode is solving the problem.

commit cb97fbbc upstream. Parallel reads from multiple threads on a file descriptor are not well defined and racy. It is safer to return to original behavior and simply fail the additional read. The solution is to remove request for next read credit. Fixes: ff1586a7 ("mei: enqueue consecutive reads") Signed-off-by:

commit 3b136499 upstream. ext4_journalled_write_end() did not propely handle all the cases when generic_perform_write() did not copy all the data into the target page and could mark buffers with uninitialized contents as uptodate and dirty leading to possible data corruption (which would be quickly fixed by generic_perform_write() retrying the write but still). Fix the problem by carefully handling the case when the page that is written to is not uptodate. Reported-by:

commit 03e916fa upstream. Inside ext4_ext_shift_extents() function ext4_find_extent() is called without EXT4_EX_NOCACHE flag, which should prevent cache population. This leads to oudated offsets in the extents tree and wrong blocks afterwards.

commit 2a9b8cba upstream. While doing 'insert range' start block should be also shifted right. The bug can be easily reproduced by the following test: ptr = malloc(4096); assert(ptr); fd = open("./ext4.file", O_CREAT | O_TRUNC | O_RDWR, 0600); assert(fd >= 0); rc = fallocate(fd, 0, 0, 8192); assert(rc == 0); for (i = 0; i < 2048; i++) *((unsigned short *)ptr + i) = 0xbeef; rc = pwrite(fd, ptr, 4096, 0); assert(rc == 4096); rc = pwrite(fd, ptr, 4096, 4096); assert(rc == 4096); for (block = 2; block < 1000; block++) { rc = fallocate(fd, FALLOC_FL_INSERT_RANGE, 4096, 4096); assert(rc == 0); for (i = 0; i < 2048; i++) *((unsigned short *)ptr + i) = block; rc = pwrite(fd, ptr, 4096, 4096); assert(rc == 4096); } Because start block is not included in the range the hole appears at the wrong offset (just after the desired offset) and the following pwrite() overwrites already existent block, keeping hole untouched. Simple way to verify wrong behaviour is to check zeroed blocks after the test: $ hexdump ./ext4.file | grep '0000 0000' The root cause of the bug is a wrong range (start, stop], where start should be inclusive, i.e. [start, stop]. This patch fixes the problem by including start into the range. But not to break left shift (range collapse) stop points to the beginning of the a block, not to the end. The other not obvious change is an iterator check on validness in a main loop. Because iterator is unsigned the following corner case should be considered with care: insert a block at 0 offset, when stop variables overflows and never becomes less than start, which is 0. To handle this special case iterator is set to NULL to indicate that end of the loop is reached. Fixes: 331573feSigned-off-by:

commit d36a1954 upstream. The lvm2 sequence to manage dm-raid constructor flags that trigger a rebuild or a reshape is defined as: 1) load table with flags (e.g. rebuild/delta_disks/data_offset) 2) clear out the flags in lvm2 metadata 3) store the lvm2 metadata, reload the table to reset the flags previously established during the initial load (1) -- in order to prevent repeatedly requesting a rebuild or a reshape on activation Currently, loading an inactive table with rebuild/reshape flags specified will cause dm-raid to rebuild/reshape on resume and thus start updating the raid metadata (about the progress). When the second table reload, to reset the flags, occurs the constructor accesses the volatile progress state kept in the raid superblocks. Because the active mapping is still processing the rebuild/reshape, that position will be stale by the time the device is resumed. In the reshape case, this causes data corruption by processing already reshaped stripes again. In the rebuild case, it does _not_ cause data corruption but instead involves superfluous rebuilds. Fix by keeping the raid set frozen during the first resume and then allow the rebuild/reshape during the second resume. Fixes: 9dbd1aa3 ("dm raid: add reshaping support to the target") Signed-off-by:

commit 95e91b83 upstream. The issue is described here, with a nice testcase: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=192931 The problem is that shmat() calls do_mmap_pgoff() with MAP_FIXED, and the address rounded down to 0. For the regular mmap case, the protection mentioned above is that the kernel gets to generate the address -- arch_get_unmapped_area() will always check for MAP_FIXED and return that address. So by the time we do security_mmap_addr(0) things get funky for shmat(). The testcase itself shows that while a regular user crashes, root will not have a problem attaching a nil-page. There are two possible fixes to this. The first, and which this patch does, is to simply allow root to crash as well -- this is also regular mmap behavior, ie when hacking up the testcase and adding mmap(... |MAP_FIXED). While this approach is the safer option, the second alternative is to ignore SHM_RND if the rounded address is 0, thus only having MAP_SHARED flags. This makes the behavior of shmat() identical to the mmap() case. The downside of this is obviously user visible, but does make sense in that it maintains semantics after the round-down wrt 0 address and mmap. Passes shm related ltp tests.

commit 71ab6cfe upstream. get_scan_count() considers the whole node LRU size when - doing SCAN_FILE due to many page cache inactive pages - calculating the number of pages to scan In both cases this might lead to unexpected behavior especially on 32b systems where we can expect lowmem memory pressure very often. A large highmem zone can easily distort SCAN_FILE heuristic because there might be only few file pages from the eligible zones on the node lru and we would still enforce file lru scanning which can lead to trashing while we could still scan anonymous pages. The later use of lruvec_lru_size can be problematic as well. Especially when there are not many pages from the eligible zones. We would have to skip over many pages to find anything to reclaim but shrink_node_memcg would only reduce the remaining number to scan by SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX at maximum. Therefore we can end up going over a large LRU many times without actually having chance to reclaim much if anything at all. The closer we are out of memory on lowmem zone the worse the problem will be. Fix this by filtering out all the ineligible zones when calculating the lru size for both paths and consider only sc->reclaim_idx zones. The patch would need to be tweaked a bit to apply to 4.10 and older but I will do that as soon as it hits the Linus tree in the next merge window.

commit dd8416c4 upstream. With rw_page, page_endio is used for completing IO on a page and it propagates write error to the address space if the IO fails. The problem is it accesses page->mapping directly which might be okay for file-backed pages but it shouldn't for anonymous page. Otherwise, it can corrupt one of field from anon_vma under us and system goes panic randomly. swap_writepage bdev_writepage ops->rw_page I encountered the BUG during developing new zram feature and it was really hard to figure it out because it made random crash, somtime mmap_sem lockdep, sometime other places where places never related to zram/zsmalloc, and not reproducible with some configuration. When I consider how that bug is subtle and people do fast-swap test with brd, it's worth to add stable mark, I think. Fixes: dd6bd0d9 ("swap: use bdev_read_page() / bdev_write_page()") Signed-off-by:

commit e1587a49 upstream. At the end of a window period, if the reclaimed pages is greater than scanned, an unsigned underflow can result in a huge pressure value and thus a critical event. Reclaimed pages is found to go higher than scanned because of the addition of reclaimed slab pages to reclaimed in shrink_node without a corresponding increment to scanned pages. Minchan Kim mentioned that this can also happen in the case of a THP page where the scanned is 1 and reclaimed could be 512.

commit e02dc017 upstream. When @node_reclaim_node isn't 0, the page allocator tries to reclaim pages if the amount of free memory in the zones are below the low watermark. On Power platform, none of NUMA nodes are scanned for page reclaim because no nodes match the condition in zone_allows_reclaim(). On Power platform, RECLAIM_DISTANCE is set to 10 which is the distance of Node-A to Node-A. So the preferred node even won't be scanned for page reclaim. __alloc_pages_nodemask() get_page_from_freelist() zone_allows_reclaim() Anton proposed the test code as below: # cat alloc.c : int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { void *p; unsigned long size; unsigned long start, end; start = time(NULL); size = strtoul(argv[1], NULL, 0); printf("To allocate %ldGB memory\n", size); size <<= 30; p = malloc(size); assert(p); memset(p, 0, size); end = time(NULL); printf("Used time: %ld seconds\n", end - start); sleep(3600); return 0; } The system I use for testing has two NUMA nodes. Both have 128GB memory. In below scnario, the page caches on node#0 should be reclaimed when it encounters pressure to accommodate request of allocation. # echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/zone_reclaim_mode; \ sync; \ echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches; \ # taskset -c 0 cat file.32G > /dev/null; \ grep FilePages /sys/devices/system/node/node0/meminfo Node 0 FilePages: 33619712 kB # taskset -c 0 ./alloc 128 # grep FilePages /sys/devices/system/node/node0/meminfo Node 0 FilePages: 33619840 kB # grep MemFree /sys/devices/system/node/node0/meminfo Node 0 MemFree: 186816 kB With the patch applied, the pagecache on node-0 is reclaimed when its free memory is running out. It's the expected behaviour. # echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/zone_reclaim_mode; \ sync; \ echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches # taskset -c 0 cat file.32G > /dev/null; \ grep FilePages /sys/devices/system/node/node0/meminfo Node 0 FilePages: 33605568 kB # taskset -c 0 ./alloc 128 # grep FilePages /sys/devices/system/node/node0/meminfo Node 0 FilePages: 1379520 kB # grep MemFree /sys/devices/system/node/node0/meminfo Node 0 MemFree: 317120 kB Fixes: 5f7a75ac ("mm: page_alloc: do not cache reclaim distances") Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1486532455-29613-1-git-send-email-gwshan@linux.vnet.ibm.comSigned-off-by:
