[ Upstream commit a9ed4a29 ] Calling setsockopt with IPV6_JOIN_ANYCAST or IPV6_LEAVE_ANYCAST triggers the assertion in addrconf_join_solict()/addrconf_leave_solict() ipv6_sock_ac_join(), ipv6_sock_ac_drop(), ipv6_sock_ac_close() need to take RTNL before calling ipv6_dev_ac_inc/dec. Same thing with ipv6_sock_mc_join(), ipv6_sock_mc_drop(), ipv6_sock_mc_close() before calling ipv6_dev_mc_inc/dec. This patch moves ASSERT_RTNL() up a level in the call stack. Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit eed4d839 ] Use dst_entry held by sk_dst_get() to retrieve tunnel's PMTU.

[ Upstream commit a45e92a5 ] The first initializer in the following union vxlan_addr ipa = { .sin.sin_addr.s_addr = tip, .sa.sa_family = AF_INET, }; is optimised away by the compiler, due to the second initializer, therefore initialising .sin.sin_addr.s_addr always to 0. This results in netlink messages indicating a L3 miss never contain the missed IP address. This was observed with GCC 4.8 and 4.9. I do not know about previous versions. The problem affects user space programs relying on an IP address being sent as part of a netlink message indicating a L3 miss. Changing .sa.sa_family = AF_INET, to .sin.sin_family = AF_INET, fixes the problem. Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit 2ba5af42 ] When there are multiple vlan headers present in a received frame, the first one is put into vlan_tci and protocol is set to ETH_P_8021Q. Anything in the skb beyond the VLAN TPID may be still non-linear, including the inner TCI and ethertype. While ovs_flow_extract takes care of IP and IPv6 headers, it does nothing with ETH_P_8021Q. Later, if OVS_ACTION_ATTR_POP_VLAN is executed, __pop_vlan_tci pulls the next vlan header into vlan_tci. This leads to two things: 1. Part of the resulting ethernet header is in the non-linear part of the skb. When eth_type_trans is called later as the result of OVS_ACTION_ATTR_OUTPUT, kernel BUGs in __skb_pull. Also, __pop_vlan_tci is in fact accessing random data when it reads past the TPID. 2. network_header points into the ethernet header instead of behind it. mac_len is set to a wrong value (10), too.

[ Upstream commit 0c9ab092 ] Fix TCP FRTO logic so that it always notices when snd_una advances, indicating that any RTO after that point will be a new and distinct loss episode. Previously there was a very specific sequence that could cause FRTO to fail to notice a new loss episode had started: (1) RTO timer fires, enter FRTO and retransmit packet 1 in write queue (2) receiver ACKs packet 1 (3) FRTO sends 2 more packets (4) RTO timer fires again (should start a new loss episode) The problem was in step (3) above, where tcp_process_loss() returned early (in the spot marked "Step 2.b"), so that it never got to the logic to clear icsk_retransmits. Thus icsk_retransmits stayed non-zero. Thus in step (4) tcp_enter_loss() would see the non-zero icsk_retransmits, decide that this RTO is not a new episode, and decide not to cut ssthresh and remember the current cwnd and ssthresh for undo. There were two main consequences to the bug that we have observed. First, ssthresh was not decreased in step (4). Second, when there was a series of such FRTO (1-4) sequences that happened to be followed by an FRTO undo, we would restore the cwnd and ssthresh from before the entire series started (instead of the cwnd and ssthresh from before the most recent RTO). This could result in cwnd and ssthresh being restored to values much bigger than the proper values. Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit bc8fc7b8 ] As of 4fddbf5d ("sit: strictly restrict incoming traffic to tunnel link device"), when looking up a tunnel, tunnel's underlying interface (t->parms.link) is verified to match incoming traffic's ingress device. However the comparison was incorrectly based on skb->dev->iflink. Instead, dev->ifindex should be used, which correctly represents the interface from which the IP stack hands the ipip6 packets. This allows setting up sit tunnels bound to vlan interfaces (otherwise incoming ipip6 traffic on the vlan interface was dropped due to ipip6_tunnel_lookup match failure). Signed-off-by:

Commit id: 014269ff in Linus's tree should be queued up for stable 3.14 & 3.15 since the i40e driver will not load when DCB is enabled, unless this patch is applied. In case of any AQ command to query port's DCB configuration fails during driver's probe time; the probe fails and returns an error. This patch prevents this issue by continuing the driver probe even when an error is returned. Also, added an error message to dump the AQ error status to show what error caused the failure to get the DCB configuration from firmware.

[ Upstream commit 0d5501c1 ] Currently the functionality to untag traffic on input resides as part of the vlan module and is build only when VLAN support is enabled in the kernel. When VLAN is disabled, the function vlan_untag() turns into a stub and doesn't really untag the packets. This seems to create an interesting interaction between VMs supporting checksum offloading and some network drivers. There are some drivers that do not allow the user to change tx-vlan-offload feature of the driver. These drivers also seem to assume that any VLAN-tagged traffic they transmit will have the vlan information in the vlan_tci and not in the vlan header already in the skb. When transmitting skbs that already have tagged data with partial checksum set, the checksum doesn't appear to be updated correctly by the card thus resulting in a failure to establish TCP connections. The following is a packet trace taken on the receiver where a sender is a VM with a VLAN configued. The host VM is running on doest not have VLAN support and the outging interface on the host is tg3: 10:12:43.503055 52:54:00:ae:42:3f > 28:d2:44:7d:c2:de, ethertype 802.1Q (0x8100), length 78: vlan 100, p 0, ethertype IPv4, (tos 0x0, ttl 64, id 27243, offset 0, flags [DF], proto TCP (6), length 60) 10.0.100.1.58545 > 10.0.100.10.ircu-2: Flags [S], cksum 0xdc39 (incorrect -> 0x48d9), seq 1069378582, win 29200, options [mss 1460,sackOK,TS val 4294837885 ecr 0,nop,wscale 7], length 0 10:12:44.505556 52:54:00:ae:42:3f > 28:d2:44:7d:c2:de, ethertype 802.1Q (0x8100), length 78: vlan 100, p 0, ethertype IPv4, (tos 0x0, ttl 64, id 27244, offset 0, flags [DF], proto TCP (6), length 60) 10.0.100.1.58545 > 10.0.100.10.ircu-2: Flags [S], cksum 0xdc39 (incorrect -> 0x44ee), seq 1069378582, win 29200, options [mss 1460,sackOK,TS val 4294838888 ecr 0,nop,wscale 7], length 0 This connection finally times out. I've only access to the TG3 hardware in this configuration thus have only tested this with TG3 driver. There are a lot of other drivers that do not permit user changes to vlan acceleration features, and I don't know if they all suffere from a similar issue. The patch attempt to fix this another way. It moves the vlan header stipping code out of the vlan module and always builds it into the kernel network core. This way, even if vlan is not supported on a virtualizatoin host, the virtual machines running on top of such host will still work with VLANs enabled.

commit 50f5aa8a upstream. BUG_ON() is a big hammer, and should be used _only_ if there is some major corruption that you cannot possibly recover from, making it imperative that the current process (and possibly the whole machine) be terminated with extreme prejudice. The trivial sanity check in the vmacache code is *not* such a fatal error. Recovering from it is absolutely trivial, and using BUG_ON() just makes it harder to debug for no actual advantage. To make matters worse, the placement of the BUG_ON() (only if the range check matched) actually makes it harder to hit the sanity check to begin with, so _if_ there is a bug (and we just got a report from Srivatsa Bhat that this can indeed trigger), it is harder to debug not just because the machine is possibly dead, but because we don't have better coverage. BUG_ON() must *die*. Maybe we should add a checkpatch warning for it, because it is simply just about the worst thing you can ever do if you hit some "this cannot happen" situation. Reported-by:

commit 615d6e87 upstream. This patch is a continuation of efforts trying to optimize find_vma(), avoiding potentially expensive rbtree walks to locate a vma upon faults. The original approach (https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/11/1/410), where the largest vma was also cached, ended up being too specific and random, thus further comparison with other approaches were needed. There are two things to consider when dealing with this, the cache hit rate and the latency of find_vma(). Improving the hit-rate does not necessarily translate in finding the vma any faster, as the overhead of any fancy caching schemes can be too high to consider. We currently cache the last used vma for the whole address space, which provides a nice optimization, reducing the total cycles in find_vma() by up to 250%, for workloads with good locality. On the other hand, this simple scheme is pretty much useless for workloads with poor locality. Analyzing ebizzy runs shows that, no matter how many threads are running, the mmap_cache hit rate is less than 2%, and in many situations below 1%. The proposed approach is to replace this scheme with a small per-thread cache, maximizing hit rates at a very low maintenance cost. Invalidations are performed by simply bumping up a 32-bit sequence number. The only expensive operation is in the rare case of a seq number overflow, where all caches that share the same address space are flushed. Upon a miss, the proposed replacement policy is based on the page number that contains the virtual address in question. Concretely, the following results are seen on an 80 core, 8 socket x86-64 box: 1) System bootup: Most programs are single threaded, so the per-thread scheme does improve ~50% hit rate by just adding a few more slots to the cache. +----------------+----------+------------------+ | caching scheme | hit-rate | cycles (billion) | +----------------+----------+------------------+ | baseline | 50.61% | 19.90 | | patched | 73.45% | 13.58 | +----------------+----------+------------------+ 2) Kernel build: This one is already pretty good with the current approach as we're dealing with good locality. +----------------+----------+------------------+ | caching scheme | hit-rate | cycles (billion) | +----------------+----------+------------------+ | baseline | 75.28% | 11.03 | | patched | 88.09% | 9.31 | +----------------+----------+------------------+ 3) Oracle 11g Data Mining (4k pages): Similar to the kernel build workload. +----------------+----------+------------------+ | caching scheme | hit-rate | cycles (billion) | +----------------+----------+------------------+ | baseline | 70.66% | 17.14 | | patched | 91.15% | 12.57 | +----------------+----------+------------------+ 4) Ebizzy: There's a fair amount of variation from run to run, but this approach always shows nearly perfect hit rates, while baseline is just about non-existent. The amounts of cycles can fluctuate between anywhere from ~60 to ~116 for the baseline scheme, but this approach reduces it considerably. For instance, with 80 threads: +----------------+----------+------------------+ | caching scheme | hit-rate | cycles (billion) | +----------------+----------+------------------+ | baseline | 1.06% | 91.54 | | patched | 99.97% | 14.18 | +----------------+----------+------------------+ [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix nommu build, per Davidlohr] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: document vmacache_valid() logic] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: attempt to untangle header files] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: add vmacache_find() BUG_ON] [hughd@google.com: add vmacache_valid_mm() (from Oleg)] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: adjust and enhance comments] Signed-off-by:

commit 99120b77 upstream. When direct reclaim is executed by a process bound to a set of NUMA nodes, we should scan only those nodes when possible, but currently we will scan kmem from all online nodes even if the kmem shrinker is NUMA aware. That said, binding a process to a particular NUMA node won't prevent it from shrinking inode/dentry caches from other nodes, which is not good. Fix this. Signed-off-by:

commit 7fcbbaf1 upstream. In some testing I ran today (some fio jobs that spread over two nodes), we end up spending 40% of the time in filemap_check_errors(). That smells fishy. Looking further, this is basically what happens: blkdev_aio_read() generic_file_aio_read() filemap_write_and_wait_range() if (!mapping->nr_pages) filemap_check_errors() and filemap_check_errors() always attempts two test_and_clear_bit() on the mapping flags, thus dirtying it for every single invocation. The patch below tests each of these bits before clearing them, avoiding this issue. In my test case (4-socket box), performance went from 1.7M IOPS to 4.0M IOPS. Signed-off-by:

commit d26914d1 upstream. Since put_mems_allowed() is strictly optional, its a seqcount retry, we don't need to evaluate the function if the allocation was in fact successful, saving a smp_rmb some loads and comparisons on some relative fast-paths. Since the naming, get/put_mems_allowed() does suggest a mandatory pairing, rename the interface, as suggested by Mel, to resemble the seqcount interface. This gives us: read_mems_allowed_begin() and read_mems_allowed_retry(), where it is important to note that the return value of the latter call is inverted from its previous incarnation.

commit c122b208 upstream. isolation_suitable() and migrate_async_suitable() is used to be sure that this pageblock range is fine to be migragted. It isn't needed to call it on every page. Current code do well if not suitable, but, don't do well when suitable. 1) It re-checks isolation_suitable() on each page of a pageblock that was already estabilished as suitable. 2) It re-checks migrate_async_suitable() on each page of a pageblock that was not entered through the next_pageblock: label, because last_pageblock_nr is not otherwise updated. This patch fixes situation by 1) calling isolation_suitable() only once per pageblock and 2) always updating last_pageblock_nr to the pageblock that was just checked. Additionally, move PageBuddy() check after pageblock unit check, since pageblock check is the first thing we should do and makes things more simple.

commit be1aa03b upstream. It is odd to drop the spinlock when we scan (SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX - 1) th pfn page. This may results in below situation while isolating migratepage. 1. try isolate 0x0 ~ 0x200 pfn pages. 2. When low_pfn is 0x1ff, ((low_pfn+1) % SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX) == 0, so drop the spinlock. 3. Then, to complete isolating, retry to aquire the lock. I think that it is better to use SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX th pfn for checking the criteria about dropping the lock. This has no harm 0x0 pfn, because, at this time, locked variable would be false. Signed-off-by:

commit 119d6d59 upstream. Page migration will fail for memory that is pinned in memory with, for example, get_user_pages(). In this case, it is unnecessary to take zone->lru_lock or isolating the page and passing it to page migration which will ultimately fail. This is a racy check, the page can still change from under us, but in that case we'll just fail later when attempting to move the page. This avoids very expensive memory compaction when faulting transparent hugepages after pinning a lot of memory with a Mellanox driver. On a 128GB machine and pinning ~120GB of memory, before this patch we see the enormous disparity in the number of page migration failures because of the pinning (from /proc/vmstat): compact_pages_moved 8450 compact_pagemigrate_failed 15614415 0.05% of pages isolated are successfully migrated and explicitly triggering memory compaction takes 102 seconds. After the patch: compact_pages_moved 9197 compact_pagemigrate_failed 7 99.9% of pages isolated are now successfully migrated in this configuration and memory compaction takes less than one second.

commit 18ab4d4c upstream. Originally get_swap_page() started iterating through the singly-linked list of swap_info_structs using swap_list.next or highest_priority_index, which both were intended to point to the highest priority active swap target that was not full. The first patch in this series changed the singly-linked list to a doubly-linked list, and removed the logic to start at the highest priority non-full entry; it starts scanning at the highest priority entry each time, even if the entry is full. Replace the manually ordered swap_list_head with a plist, swap_active_head. Add a new plist, swap_avail_head. The original swap_active_head plist contains all active swap_info_structs, as before, while the new swap_avail_head plist contains only swap_info_structs that are active and available, i.e. not full. Add a new spinlock, swap_avail_lock, to protect the swap_avail_head list. Mel Gorman suggested using plists since they internally handle ordering the list entries based on priority, which is exactly what swap was doing manually. All the ordering code is now removed, and swap_info_struct entries and simply added to their corresponding plist and automatically ordered correctly. Using a new plist for available swap_info_structs simplifies and optimizes get_swap_page(), which no longer has to iterate over full swap_info_structs. Using a new spinlock for swap_avail_head plist allows each swap_info_struct to add or remove themselves from the plist when they become full or not-full; previously they could not do so because the swap_info_struct->lock is held when they change from full<->not-full, and the swap_lock protecting the main swap_active_head must be ordered before any swap_info_struct->lock.

commit a75f232c upstream. Add plist_requeue(), which moves the specified plist_node after all other same-priority plist_nodes in the list. This is essentially an optimized plist_del() followed by plist_add(). This is needed by swap, which (with the next patch in this set) uses a plist of available swap devices. When a swap device (either a swap partition or swap file) are added to the system with swapon(), the device is added to a plist, ordered by the swap device's priority. When swap needs to allocate a page from one of the swap devices, it takes the page from the first swap device on the plist, which is the highest priority swap device. The swap device is left in the plist until all its pages are used, and then removed from the plist when it becomes full. However, as described in man 2 swapon, swap must allocate pages from swap devices with the same priority in round-robin order; to do this, on each swap page allocation, swap uses a page from the first swap device in the plist, and then calls plist_requeue() to move that swap device entry to after any other same-priority swap devices. The next swap page allocation will again use a page from the first swap device in the plist and requeue it, and so on, resulting in round-robin usage of equal-priority swap devices. Also add plist_test_requeue() test function, for use by plist_test() to test plist_requeue() function. Signed-off-by:

commit fd16618e upstream. Add PLIST_HEAD() to plist.h, equivalent to LIST_HEAD() from list.h, to define and initialize a struct plist_head. Add plist_for_each_continue() and plist_for_each_entry_continue(), equivalent to list_for_each_continue() and list_for_each_entry_continue(), to iterate over a plist continuing after the current position. Add plist_prev() and plist_next(), equivalent to (struct list_head*)->prev and ->next, implemented by list_prev_entry() and list_next_entry(), to access the prev/next struct plist_node entry. These are needed because unlike struct list_head, direct access of the prev/next struct plist_node isn't possible; the list must be navigated via the contained struct list_head. e.g. instead of accessing the prev by list_prev_entry(node, node_list) it can be accessed by plist_prev(node).

commit adfab836 upstream. The logic controlling the singly-linked list of swap_info_struct entries for all active, i.e. swapon'ed, swap targets is rather complex, because: - it stores the entries in priority order - there is a pointer to the highest priority entry - there is a pointer to the highest priority not-full entry - there is a highest_priority_index variable set outside the swap_lock - swap entries of equal priority should be used equally this complexity leads to bugs such as: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/2/13/181 where different priority swap targets are incorrectly used equally. That bug probably could be solved with the existing singly-linked lists, but I think it would only add more complexity to the already difficult to understand get_swap_page() swap_list iteration logic. The first patch changes from a singly-linked list to a doubly-linked list using list_heads; the highest_priority_index and related code are removed and get_swap_page() starts each iteration at the highest priority swap_info entry, even if it's full. While this does introduce unnecessary list iteration (i.e. Schlemiel the painter's algorithm) in the case where one or more of the highest priority entries are full, the iteration and manipulation code is much simpler and behaves correctly re: the above bug; and the fourth patch removes the unnecessary iteration. The second patch adds some minor plist helper functions; nothing new really, just functions to match existing regular list functions. These are used by the next two patches. The third patch adds plist_requeue(), which is used by get_swap_page() in the next patch - it performs the requeueing of same-priority entries (which moves the entry to the end of its priority in the plist), so that all equal-priority swap_info_structs get used equally. The fourth patch converts the main list into a plist, and adds a new plist that contains only swap_info entries that are both active and not full. As Mel suggested using plists allows removing all the ordering code from swap - plists handle ordering automatically. The list naming is also clarified now that there are two lists, with the original list changed from swap_list_head to swap_active_head and the new list named swap_avail_head. A new spinlock is also added for the new list, so swap_info entries can be added or removed from the new list immediately as they become full or not full. This patch (of 4): Replace the singly-linked list tracking active, i.e. swapon'ed, swap_info_struct entries with a doubly-linked list using struct list_heads. Simplify the logic iterating and manipulating the list of entries, especially get_swap_page(), by using standard list_head functions, and removing the highest priority iteration logic. The change fixes the bug: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/2/13/181 in which different priority swap entries after the highest priority entry are incorrectly used equally in pairs. The swap behavior is now as advertised, i.e. different priority swap entries are used in order, and equal priority swap targets are used concurrently. Signed-off-by:

commit 70ef57e6 upstream. We had a report about strange OOM killer strikes on a PPC machine although there was a lot of swap free and a tons of anonymous memory which could be swapped out. In the end it turned out that the OOM was a side effect of zone reclaim which wasn't unmapping and swapping out and so the system was pushed to the OOM. Although this sounds like a bug somewhere in the kswapd vs. zone reclaim vs. direct reclaim interaction numactl on the said hardware suggests that the zone reclaim should not have been set in the first place: node 0 cpus: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 node 0 size: 0 MB node 0 free: 0 MB node 2 cpus: node 2 size: 7168 MB node 2 free: 6019 MB node distances: node 0 2 0: 10 40 2: 40 10 So all the CPUs are associated with Node0 which doesn't have any memory while Node2 contains all the available memory. Node distances cause an automatic zone_reclaim_mode enabling. Zone reclaim is intended to keep the allocations local but this doesn't make any sense on the memoryless nodes. So let's exclude such nodes for init_zone_allows_reclaim which evaluates zone reclaim behavior and suitable reclaim_nodes. Signed-off-by:

commit d78c9300 upstream. timeval_to_jiffies tried to round a timeval up to an integral number of jiffies, but the logic for doing so was incorrect: intervals corresponding to exactly N jiffies would become N+1. This manifested itself particularly repeatedly stopping/starting an itimer: setitimer(ITIMER_PROF, &val, NULL); setitimer(ITIMER_PROF, NULL, &val); would add a full tick to val, _even if it was exactly representable in terms of jiffies_ (say, the result of a previous rounding.) Doing this repeatedly would cause unbounded growth in val. So fix the math. Here's what was wrong with the conversion: we essentially computed (eliding seconds) jiffies = usec * (NSEC_PER_USEC/TICK_NSEC) by using scaling arithmetic, which took the best approximation of NSEC_PER_USEC/TICK_NSEC with denominator of 2^USEC_JIFFIE_SC = x/(2^USEC_JIFFIE_SC), and computed: jiffies = (usec * x) >> USEC_JIFFIE_SC and rounded this calculation up in the intermediate form (since we can't necessarily exactly represent TICK_NSEC in usec.) But the scaling arithmetic is a (very slight) *over*approximation of the true value; that is, instead of dividing by (1 usec/ 1 jiffie), we effectively divided by (1 usec/1 jiffie)-epsilon (rounding down). This would normally be fine, but we want to round timeouts up, and we did so by adding 2^USEC_JIFFIE_SC - 1 before the shift; this would be fine if our division was exact, but dividing this by the slightly smaller factor was equivalent to adding just _over_ 1 to the final result (instead of just _under_ 1, as desired.) In particular, with HZ=1000, we consistently computed that 10000 usec was 11 jiffies; the same was true for any exact multiple of TICK_NSEC. We could possibly still round in the intermediate form, adding something less than 2^USEC_JIFFIE_SC - 1, but easier still is to convert usec->nsec, round in nanoseconds, and then convert using time*spec*_to_jiffies. This adds one constant multiplication, and is not observably slower in microbenchmarks on recent x86 hardware. Tested: the following program: int main() { struct itimerval zero = {{0, 0}, {0, 0}}; /* Initially set to 10 ms. */ struct itimerval initial = zero; initial.it_interval.tv_usec = 10000; setitimer(ITIMER_PROF, &initial, NULL); /* Save and restore several times. */ for (size_t i = 0; i < 10; ++i) { struct itimerval prev; setitimer(ITIMER_PROF, &zero, &prev); /* on old kernels, this goes up by TICK_USEC every iteration */ printf("previous value: %ld %ld %ld %ld\n", prev.it_interval.tv_sec, prev.it_interval.tv_usec, prev.it_value.tv_sec, prev.it_value.tv_usec); setitimer(ITIMER_PROF, &prev, NULL); } return 0; } Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com> Cc: Paul Turner <pjt@google.com> Cc: Richard Cochran <richardcochran@gmail.com> Cc: Prarit Bhargava <prarit@redhat.com> Reviewed-by:

commit 58d75f4b upstream. The recent conversion of saa7134 to vb2 unconvered a poll() bug that broke the teletext applications alevt and mtt. These applications expect that calling poll() without having called VIDIOC_STREAMON will cause poll() to return POLLERR. That did not happen in vb2. This patch fixes that behavior. It also fixes what should happen when poll() is called when STREAMON is called but no buffers have been queued. In that case poll() will also return POLLERR, but only for capture queues since output queues will always return POLLOUT anyway in that situation. This brings the vb2 behavior in line with the old videobuf behavior. Signed-off-by:

commit abc40bd2 upstream. This patch reverts 1ba6e0b5 ("mm: numa: split_huge_page: transfer the NUMA type from the pmd to the pte"). If a huge page is being split due a protection change and the tail will be in a PROT_NONE vma then NUMA hinting PTEs are temporarily created in the protected VMA. VM_RW|VM_PROTNONE |-----------------| ^ split here In the specific case above, it should get fixed up by change_pte_range() but there is a window of opportunity for weirdness to happen. Similarly, if a huge page is shrunk and split during a protection update but before pmd_numa is cleared then a pte_numa can be left behind. Instead of adding complexity trying to deal with the case, this patch will not mark PTEs NUMA when splitting a huge page. NUMA hinting faults will not be triggered which is marginal in comparison to the complexity in dealing with the corner cases during THP split. Signed-off-by:
