Pull libnvdimm fixes from Dan Williams: "A regression fix, new unit test infrastructure and a build fix: - Regression fix addressing support for the new NVDIMM label storage area access commands (_LSI, _LSR, and _LSW). The Intel specific version of these commands communicated the "Device Locked" status on the label-storage-information command. However, these new commands (standardized in ACPI 6.2) communicate the "Device Locked" status on the label-storage-read command, and the driver was missing the indication. Reading from locked persistent memory is similar to reading unmapped PCI memory space, returns all 1's. - Unit test infrastructure is added to regression test the "Device Locked" detection failure. - A build fix is included to allow the "of_pmem" driver to be built as a module and translate an Open Firmware described device to its local numa node" * 'libnvdimm-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm: MAINTAINERS: Add backup maintainers for libnvdimm and DAX device-dax: allow MAP_SYNC to succeed Revert "libnvdimm, of_pmem: workaround OF_NUMA=n build error" libnvdimm, of_pmem: use dev_to_node() instead of of_node_to_nid() tools/testing/nvdimm: enable labels for nfit_test.1 dimms tools/testing/nvdimm: fix missing newline in nfit_test_dimm 'handle' attribute tools/testing/nvdimm: support nfit_test_dimm attributes under nfit_test.1 tools/testing/nvdimm: allow custom error code injection libnvdimm, dimm: handle EACCES failures from label reads

f2fs specifies the __GFP_ZERO flag for allocating some of its pages. Unfortunately, the page cache also uses the mapping's GFP flags for allocating radix tree nodes. It always masked off the __GFP_HIGHMEM flag, and masks off __GFP_ZERO in some paths, but not all. That causes radix tree nodes to be allocated with a NULL list_head, which causes backtraces like: __list_del_entry+0x30/0xd0 list_lru_del+0xac/0x1ac page_cache_tree_insert+0xd8/0x110 The __GFP_DMA and __GFP_DMA32 flags would also be able to sneak through if they are ever used. Fix them all by using GFP_RECLAIM_MASK at the innermost location, and remove it from earlier in the callchain.

The autofs file system mkdir inode operation blindly sets the created directory mode to S_IFDIR | 0555, ingoring the passed in mode, which can cause selinux dac_override denials. But the function also checks if the caller is the daemon (as no-one else should be able to do anything here) so there's no point in not honouring the passed in mode, allowing the daemon to set appropriate mode when required.

Some of the mport_dma_req structure members were initialized late inside the do_dma_request() function, just before submitting the request to the dma engine. But we have some error branches before that. In case of such an error, the code would return on the error path and trigger the calling of dma_req_free() with a req structure which is not completely initialized. This causes a NULL pointer dereference in dma_req_free(). This patch fixes these error branches by making sure that all necessary mport_dma_req structure members are initialized in rio_dma_transfer() immediately after the request structure gets allocated.

My testing for the latest kernel supporting thp migration showed an infinite loop in offlining the memory block that is filled with shmem thps. We can get out of the loop with a signal, but kernel should return with failure in this case. What happens in the loop is that scan_movable_pages() repeats returning the same pfn without any progress. That's because page migration always fails for shmem thps. In memory offline code, memory blocks containing unmovable pages should be prevented from being offline targets by has_unmovable_pages() inside start_isolate_page_range(). So it's possible to change migratability for non-anonymous thps to avoid the issue, but it introduces more complex and thp-specific handling in migration code, so it might not good. So this patch is suggesting to fix the issue by enabling thp migration for shmem thp. Both of anon/shmem thp are migratable so we don't need precheck about the type of thps.

lock_page_memcg()/unlock_page_memcg() use spin_lock_irqsave/restore() if the page's memcg is undergoing move accounting, which occurs when a process leaves its memcg for a new one that has memory.move_charge_at_immigrate set. unlocked_inode_to_wb_begin,end() use spin_lock_irq/spin_unlock_irq() if the given inode is switching writeback domains. Switches occur when enough writes are issued from a new domain. This existing pattern is thus suspicious: lock_page_memcg(page); unlocked_inode_to_wb_begin(inode, &locked); ... unlocked_inode_to_wb_end(inode, locked); unlock_page_memcg(page); If both inode switch and process memcg migration are both in-flight then unlocked_inode_to_wb_end() will unconditionally enable interrupts while still holding the lock_page_memcg() irq spinlock. This suggests the possibility of deadlock if an interrupt occurs before unlock_page_memcg(). truncate __cancel_dirty_page lock_page_memcg unlocked_inode_to_wb_begin unlocked_inode_to_wb_end <interrupts mistakenly enabled> <interrupt> end_page_writeback test_clear_page_writeback lock_page_memcg <deadlock> unlock_page_memcg Due to configuration limitations this deadlock is not currently possible because we don't mix cgroup writeback (a cgroupv2 feature) and memory.move_charge_at_immigrate (a cgroupv1 feature). If the kernel is hacked to always claim inode switching and memcg moving_account, then this script triggers lockup in less than a minute: cd /mnt/cgroup/memory mkdir a b echo 1 > a/memory.move_charge_at_immigrate echo 1 > b/memory.move_charge_at_immigrate ( echo $BASHPID > a/cgroup.procs while true; do dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/big bs=1M count=256 done ) & while true; do sync done & sleep 1h & SLEEP=$! while true; do echo $SLEEP > a/cgroup.procs echo $SLEEP > b/cgroup.procs done The deadlock does not seem possible, so it's debatable if there's any reason to modify the kernel. I suggest we should to prevent future surprises. And Wang Long said "this deadlock occurs three times in our environment", so there's more reason to apply this, even to stable. Stable 4.4 has minor conflicts applying this patch.

The swap offset reported by /proc/<pid>/pagemap may be not correct for PMD migration entries. If addr passed into pagemap_pmd_range() isn't aligned with PMD start address, the swap offset reported doesn't reflect this. And in the loop to report information of each sub-page, the swap offset isn't increased accordingly as that for PFN. This may happen after opening /proc/<pid>/pagemap and seeking to a page whose address doesn't align with a PMD start address. I have verified this with a simple test program. BTW: migration swap entries have PFN information, do we need to restrict whether to show them?

Li Wang has reported that LTP move_pages04 test fails with the current tree: LTP move_pages04: TFAIL : move_pages04.c:143: status[1] is EPERM, expected EFAULT The test allocates an array of two pages, one is present while the other is not (resp. backed by zero page) and it expects EFAULT for the second page as the man page suggests. We are reporting EPERM which doesn't make any sense and this is a result of a bug from cf5f16b23ec9 ("mm: unclutter THP migration"). do_pages_move tries to handle as many pages in one batch as possible so we queue all pages with the same node target together and that corresponds to [start, i] range which is then used to update status array. add_page_for_migration will correctly notice the zero (resp. !present) page and returns with EFAULT which gets written to the status. But if this is the last page in the array we do not update start and so the last store_status after the loop will overwrite the range of the last batch with NUMA_NO_NODE (which corresponds to EPERM). Fix this by simply bailing out from the last flush if the pagelist is empty as there is clearly nothing more to do.

One of the classes of kernel stack content leaks[1] is exposing the contents of prior heap or stack contents when a new process stack is allocated. Normally, those stacks are not zeroed, and the old contents remain in place. In the face of stack content exposure flaws, those contents can leak to userspace. Fixing this will make the kernel no longer vulnerable to these flaws, as the stack will be wiped each time a stack is assigned to a new process. There's not a meaningful change in runtime performance; it almost looks like it provides a benefit. Performing back-to-back kernel builds before: Run times: 157.86 157.09 158.90 160.94 160.80 Mean: 159.12 Std Dev: 1.54 and after: Run times: 159.31 157.34 156.71 158.15 160.81 Mean: 158.46 Std Dev: 1.46 Instead of making this a build or runtime config, Andy Lutomirski recommended this just be enabled by default. [1] A noisy search for many kinds of stack content leaks can be seen here: https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvekey.cgi?keyword=linux+kernel+stack+leak I did some more with perf and cycle counts on running 100,000 execs of /bin/true. before: Cycles: 218858861551 218853036130 214727610969 227656844122 224980542841 Mean: 221015379122.60 Std Dev: 4662486552.47 after: Cycles: 213868945060 213119275204 211820169456 224426673259 225489986348 Mean: 217745009865.40 Std Dev: 5935559279.99 It continues to look like it's faster, though the deviation is rather wide, but I'm not sure what I could do that would be less noisy. I'm open to ideas! Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180221021659.GA37073@beastSigned-off-by:

AFS server records get removed from the net->fs_servers tree when they're deleted, but not from the net->fs_addresses{4,6} lists, which can lead to an oops in afs_find_server() when a server record has been removed, for instance during rmmod. Fix this by deleting the record from the by-address lists before posting it for RCU destruction. The reason this hasn't been noticed before is that the fileserver keeps probing the local cache manager, thereby keeping the service record alive, so the oops would only happen when a fileserver eventually gets bored and stops pinging or if the module gets rmmod'd and a call comes in from the fileserver during the window between the server records being destroyed and the socket being closed. The oops looks something like: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 000000000000001c ...

MAP_SYNC is a nop for device-dax. Allow MAP_SYNC to succeed on device-dax to eliminate special casing between device-dax and fs-dax as to when the flag can be specified. Device-dax users already implicitly assume that they do not need to call fsync(), and this enables them to explicitly check for this capability.
