      swapfile: fix name leak in swapoff · f58b59c1
      Xiaotian Feng authored 
      There's a name leak introduced by commit 91a27b2a ("vfs: define
struct filename and have getname() return it").  Add the missing
putname.

      memcg: fix hotplugged memory zone oops · bea8c150
      Hugh Dickins authored 
      When MEMCG is configured on (even when it's disabled by boot option),
when adding or removing a page to/from its lru list, the zone pointer
used for stats updates is nowadays taken from the struct lruvec.  (On
many configurations, calculating zone from page is slower.)

But we have no code to update all the lruvecs (per zone, per memcg) when
a memory node is hotadded.  Here's an extract from the oops which
results when running numactl to bind a program to a newly onlined node:

  BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000f60
  IP:  __mod_zone_page_state+0x9/0x60
  Pid: 1219, comm: numactl Not tainted 3.6.0-rc5+ #180 Bochs Bochs
  Process numactl (pid: 1219, threadinfo ffff880039abc000, task ffff8800383c4ce0)
  Call Trace:
    __pagevec_lru_add_fn+0xdf/0x140
    pagevec_lru_move_fn+0xb1/0x100
    __pagevec_lru_add+0x1c/0x30
    lru_add_drain_cpu+0xa3/0x130
    lru_add_drain+0x2f/0x40
   ...

The natural solution might be to use a memcg callback whenever memory is
hotadded; but that solution has not been scoped out, and it happens that
we do have an easy location at which to update lruvec->zone.  The lruvec
pointer is discovered either by mem_cgroup_zone_lruvec() or by
mem_cgroup_page_lruvec(), and both of those do know the right zone.

So check and set lruvec->zone in those; and remove the inadequate
attempt to set lruvec->zone from lruvec_init(), which is called before
NODE_DATA(node) has been allocated in such cases.

Ah, there was one exceptionr.  For no particularly good reason,
mem_cgroup_force_empty_list() has its own code for deciding lruvec.
Change it to use the standard mem_cgroup_zone_lruvec() and
mem_cgroup_get_lru_size() too.  In fact it was already safe against such
an oops (the lru lists in danger could only be empty), but we're better
proofed against future changes this way.

I've marked this for stable (3.6) since we introduced the problem in 3.5
(now closed to stable); but I have no idea if this is the only fix
needed to get memory hotadd working with memcg in 3.6, and received no
answer when I enquired twice before.

      memcg: oom: fix totalpages calculation for memory.swappiness==0 · 9a5a8f19
      Michal Hocko authored 
      oom_badness() takes a totalpages argument which says how many pages are
available and it uses it as a base for the score calculation.  The value
is calculated by mem_cgroup_get_limit which considers both limit and
total_swap_pages (resp.  memsw portion of it).

This is usually correct but since fe35004f ("mm: avoid swapping out
with swappiness==0") we do not swap when swappiness is 0 which means
that we cannot really use up all the totalpages pages.  This in turn
confuses oom score calculation if the memcg limit is much smaller than
the available swap because the used memory (capped by the limit) is
negligible comparing to totalpages so the resulting score is too small
if adj!=0 (typically task with CAP_SYS_ADMIN or non zero oom_score_adj).
A wrong process might be selected as result.

The problem can be worked around by checking mem_cgroup_swappiness==0
and not considering swap at all in such a case.

      mm: fix build warning for uninitialized value · 1756954c
      David Rientjes authored 
      do_wp_page() sets mmun_called if mmun_start and mmun_end were
initialized and, if so, may call mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end()
with these values.  This doesn't prevent gcc from emitting a build
warning though:

  mm/memory.c: In function `do_wp_page':
  mm/memory.c:2530: warning: `mmun_start' may be used uninitialized in this function
  mm/memory.c:2531: warning: `mmun_end' may be used uninitialized in this function

It's much easier to initialize the variables to impossible values and do
a simple comparison to determine if they were initialized to remove the
bool entirely.
