Revert commit 6dc296e7 "mm: make sure all file VMAs have ->vm_ops set". Will Deacon reports that it "causes some mmap regressions in LTP, which appears to use a MAP_PRIVATE mmap of /dev/zero as a way to get anonymous pages in some of its tests (specifically mmap10 [1])". William Shuman reports Oracle crashes. So revert the patch while we work out what to do. Reported-by: William Shuman <wshuman3@gmail.com> Reported-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com> Cc: Kirill A.

Some string_get_size() calls (e.g.: string_get_size(1, 512, STRING_UNITS_10, ..., ...) string_get_size(15, 64, STRING_UNITS_10, ..., ...) ) result in an infinite loop. The problem is that if size is equal to divisor[units]/blk_size and is smaller than divisor[units] we'll end up with size == 0 when we start doing sf_cap calculations: For string_get_size(1, 512, STRING_UNITS_10, ..., ...) case: ... remainder = do_div(size, divisor[units]); -> size is 0, remainder is 1 remainder *= blk_size; -> remainder is 512 ... size *= blk_size; -> size is still 0 size += remainder / divisor[units]; -> size is still 0 The caller causing the issue is sd_read_capacity(), the problem was noticed on Hyper-V, such weird size was reported by host when scanning collides with device removal. This is probably a separate issue worth fixing, this patch is intended to prevent the library routine from infinite looping.

The shadow which correspond 16 bytes memory may span 2 or 3 bytes. If the memory is aligned on 8, then the shadow takes only 2 bytes. So we check "shadow_first_bytes" is enough, and need not to call "memory_is_poisoned_1(addr + 15);". But the code "if (likely(!last_byte))" is wrong judgement. e.g. addr=0, so last_byte = 15 & KASAN_SHADOW_MASK = 7, then the code will continue to call "memory_is_poisoned_1(addr + 15);" Signed-off-by: Xishi Qiu <qiuxishi@huawei.com> Acked-by: Andrey Ryabinin <aryabinin@virtuozzo.com> Cc: Andrey Konovalov <adech.fo@gmail.com> Cc: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Cc: Michal Marek <mmarek@suse.cz> Cc: <zhongjiang@huawei.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

zcomp_create() verifies the success of zcomp_strm_{multi,single}_create() through comp->stream, which can potentially be pointing to memory that was freed if these functions returned an error. While at it, replace a 'ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM)' by a more generic 'ERR_PTR(error)' as in the future zcomp_strm_{multi,siggle}_create() could return other error codes.

rq_data_dir() returns either READ or WRITE (0 == READ, 1 == WRITE), not a boolean value. Now, admittedly the "!= 0" doesn't really change the value (0 stays as zero, 1 stays as one), but it's not only redundant, it confuses gcc, and causes gcc to warn about the construct switch (rq_data_dir(req)) { case READ: ... case WRITE: ... that we have in a few drivers. Now, the gcc warning is silly and stupid (it seems to warn not about the switch value having a different type from the case statements, but about _any_ boolean switch value), but in this case the code itself is silly and stupid too, so let's just change it, and get rid of warnings like this: drivers/block/hd.c: In function ‘hd_request’: drivers/block/hd.c:630:11: warning: switch condition has boolean value [-Wswitch-bool] switch (rq_data_dir(req)) { The odd '!= 0' came in when "cmd_flags" got turned into a "u64" in commit 5953316d ("block: make rq->cmd_flags be 64-bit") and is presumably because the old code (that just did a logical 'and' with 1) would then end up making the type of rq_data_dir() be u64 too. But if we want to retain the old regular integer type, let's just cast the result to 'int' rather than use that rather odd '!= 0'. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

-
Linus Torvalds authored
We had to revert the pluggin in writeback_sb_inodes() because the wb->list_lock is held, but we could easily plug at a higher level before taking that lock, and unplug after releasing it. This does that. Chris will run performance numbers, just to verify that this approach is comparable to the alternative (we could just drop and re-take the lock around the blk_finish_plug() rather than these two commits. I'd have preferred waiting for actual performance numbers before picking one approach over the other, but I don't want to release rc1 with the known "sleeping function called from invalid context" issue, so I'll pick this cleanup version for now. But if the numbers show that we really want to plug just at the writeback_sb_inodes() level, and we should just play ugly games with the spinlock, we'll switch to that.
