Commit 0bf380bc ("mm: compaction: check pfn_valid when entering a new MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES block during isolation for migration") added a check for pfn_valid() when isolating pages for migration as the scanner does not necessarily start pageblock-aligned. Since commit c89511ab ("mm: compaction: Restart compaction from near where it left off"), the free scanner has the same problem. This patch makes sure that the pfn range passed to isolate_freepages_block() is within the same block so that pfn_valid() checks are unnecessary. In answer to Henrik's wondering why others have not reported this: reproducing this requires a large enough hole with the right aligment to have compaction walk into a PFN range with no memmap. Size and alignment depends in the memory model - 4M for FLATMEM and 128M for SPARSEMEM on x86. It needs a "lucky" machine.

The problem occurs [1] when a kernel-mode task returns from a system call with a pending signal. A real-life scenario is a child of 'khelper' returning from a failed kernel_execve() in ____call_usermodehelper() [ kernel/kmod.c ]. kernel_execve() fails due to a pending SIGKILL, which is the result of "kill -9 -1" (at least, busybox's init does it upon reboot). The loop is as follows: * syscall_exit_work: - work_pending: // start_of_the_loop - work_notifysig: - do_notify_resume() - do_signal() - if (!user_mode(regs)) return; - resume_userspace // TIF_SIGPENDING is still set - work_pending // so we call work_pending => goto // start_of_the_loop More information can be found in another LKML thread: http://www.serverphorums.com/read.php?12,457826 [1] The problem was also reproduced on !CONFIG_VM86 x86, and the following fix was accepted. http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=29a2e2836ff9ea65a603c89df217f4198973a74fSigned-off-by: Dmitry Adamushko <dmitry.adamushko@gmail.com> Cc: linux-mips@linux-mips.org Patchwork: https://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/3571/Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>

Don't use enum-type bitfields in the module signature info block as we can't be certain how the compiler will handle them. As I understand it, it is arch dependent, and it is possible for the compiler to rearrange them based on endianness and to insert a byte of padding to pad the three enums out to four bytes. Instead use u8 fields for these, which the compiler should emit in the right order without padding.

Norbert reported: "3.7-rc6 booted with nmi_watchdog=0 fails to suspend to RAM or offline CPUs. It's reproducable with a KVM guest and physical system." The reason is that commit bcd951cf(watchdog: Use hotplug thread infrastructure) missed to take this into account. So the cpu offline code gets stuck in the teardown function because it accesses non initialized data structures. Add a check for watchdog_enabled into that path to cure the issue.

Pull workqueue fixes from Tejun Heo: "So, safe fixes my ass. Commit 8852aac2 ("workqueue: mod_delayed_work_on() shouldn't queue timer on 0 delay") had the side-effect of performing delayed_work sanity checks even when @delay is 0, which should be fine for any sane use cases. Unfortunately, megaraid was being overly ingenious. It seemingly wanted to use cancel_delayed_work_sync() before cancel_work_sync() was introduced, but didn't want to waste the space for full delayed_work as it was only going to use 0 @delay. So, it only allocated space for struct work_struct and then cast it to struct delayed_work and passed it into delayed_work functions - truly awesome engineering tradeoff to save some bytes. Xiaotian fixed it by making megraid allocate full delayed_work for now. It should be converted to use work_struct and cancel_work_sync() but I think we better do that after 3.7. I added another commit to change BUG_ON()s in __queue_delayed_work() to WARN_ON_ONCE()s so that the kernel doesn't crash even if there are more such abuses." * 'for-3.7-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq: workqueue: convert BUG_ON()s in __queue_delayed_work() to WARN_ON_ONCE()s megaraid: fix BUG_ON() from incorrect use of delayed work

The block device access simplification that avoided accessing the (racy) block size information (commit bbec0270: "blkdev_max_block: make private to fs/buffer.c") no longer checks the maximum block size in the block mapping path. That was _almost_ as simple as just removing the code entirely, because the readers and writers all check the size of the device anyway, so under normal circumstances it "just worked". However, the block size may be such that the end of the device may straddle one single buffer_head. At which point we may still want to access the end of the device, but the buffer we use to access it partially extends past the end. The 'bd_set_size()' function intentionally sets the block size to avoid this, but mounting the device - or setting the block size by hand to some other value - can modify that block size. So instead, teach 'submit_bh()' about the special case of the buffer head straddling the end of the device, and turning such an access into a smaller IO access, avoiding the problem. This, btw, also means that unlike before, we can now access the whole device regardless of device block size setting. So now, even if the device size is only 512-byte aligned, we can read and write even the last sector even when having a much bigger block size for accessing the rest of the device. So with this, we could now get rid of the 'bd_set_size()' block size code entirely - resulting in faster IO for the common case - but that would be a separate patch.

8852aac2 ("workqueue: mod_delayed_work_on() shouldn't queue timer on 0 delay") unexpectedly uncovered a very nasty abuse of delayed_work in megaraid - it allocated work_struct, casted it to delayed_work and then pass that into queue_delayed_work(). Previously, this was okay because 0 @delay short-circuited to queue_work() before doing anything with delayed_work. 8852aac2 moved 0 @delay test into __queue_delayed_work() after sanity check on delayed_work making megaraid trigger BUG_ON(). Although megaraid is already fixed by c1d390d8 ("megaraid: fix BUG_ON() from incorrect use of delayed work"), this patch converts BUG_ON()s in __queue_delayed_work() to WARN_ON_ONCE()s so that such abusers, if there are more, trigger warning but don't crash the machine.

Problem: 1) Huge page mapping of anonymous memory is initially invalid. Will be faulted in by copy-on-write mechanism. 2) Userspace attempts store at the end of the huge mapping. 3) TLB Refill exception handler fill TLB with a normal (4K sized) invalid page at the end of the huge mapping virtual address range. 4) Userspace restarted, and re-attempts the store at the end of the huge mapping. 5) Page from #3 is invalid, we get a fault and go to the hugepage fault handler. This tries to map a huge page and calls huge_ptep_set_access_flags() to install the mapping. 6) We just call the generic ptep_set_access_flags() to set up the page tables, but the flush there assumes a normal (4K sized) page and only tries to flush the first part of the huge page virtual address out of the TLB, since the existing entry from step #3 doesn't conflict, nothing is flushed. 7) We attempt to load the mapping into the TLB, but because it conflicts with the entry from step #3, we get a Machine Check exception. The fix: Flush the entire rage covered by the huge page in huge_ptep_set_access_flags(), and remove the optimization in local_flush_tlb_range() so that the flush actually does the correct thing.

megaraid use INIT_WORK to declare a hotplug_work, but cast the hotplug_work from work_struct to delayed_work and schedule_delayed_work on it. This is very dangerous, as other part of delayed_work might be kernel memories allocated by others. With commit 8852aac2 ("workqueue: mod_delayed_work_on() shouldn't queue timer on 0 delay"), schedule_delayed_work() will check dwork->timer before queue_work even when @delay is 0, this causes megaraid code to hit the BUG_ON() in workqueue code.

Merge 'block-dev' branch. I was going to just mark everything here for stable and leave it to the 3.8 merge window, but having decided on doing another -rc, I migth as well merge it now. This removes the bd_block_size_semaphore semaphore that was added in this release to fix a race condition between block size changes and block IO, and replaces it with atomicity guaratees in fs/buffer.c instead, along with simplifying fs/block-dev.c. This removes more lines than it adds, makes the code generally simpler, and avoids the latency/rt issues that the block size semaphore introduced for mount. I'm not happy with the timing, but it wouldn't be much better doing this during the merge window and then having some delayed back-port of it into stable. * block-dev: blkdev_max_block: make private to fs/buffer.c direct-io: don't read inode->i_blkbits multiple times blockdev: remove bd_block_size_semaphore again fs/buffer.c: make block-size be per-page and protected by the page lock

The same binaries on native host (s390/31 and arm resp.) will *not* force O_LARGEFILE, so IMO both are emulation bugs. Objections? The fix is obvious...

Pull late workqueue fixes from Tejun Heo: "Unfortunately, I have two really late fixes. One was for a long-standing bug and queued for 3.8 but I found out about a regression introduced during 3.7-rc1 two days ago, so I'm sending out the two fixes together. The first (long-standing) one is rescuer_thread() entering exit path w/ TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE. It only triggers on workqueue destructions which isn't very frequent and the exit path can usually survive being called with TASK_INTERRUPT, so it was hidden pretty well. Apparently, if you're reiserfs, this could lead to the exiting kthread sleeping indefinitely holding a mutex, which is never good. The fix is simple - restoring TASK_RUNNING before returning from the kthread function. The second one is introduced by the new mod_delayed_work(). mod_delayed_work() was missing special case handling for 0 delay. Instead of queueing the work item immediately, it queued the timer which expires on the closest next tick. Some users of the new function converted from "[__]cancel_delayed_work() + queue_delayed_work()" combination became unhappy with the extra delay. Block unplugging led to noticeably higher number of context switches and intel 6250 wireless failed to associate with WPA-Enterprise network. The fix, again, is fairly simple. The 0 delay special case logic from queue_delayed_work_on() should be moved to __queue_delayed_work() which is shared by both queue_delayed_work_on() and mod_delayed_work_on(). The first one is difficult to trigger and the failure mode for the latter isn't completely catastrophic, so missing these two for 3.7 wouldn't make it a disastrous release, but both bugs are nasty and the fixes are fairly safe" * 'for-3.7-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq: workqueue: mod_delayed_work_on() shouldn't queue timer on 0 delay workqueue: exit rescuer_thread() as TASK_RUNNING

Recent network changes allowed high order pages being used for skb fragments. This uncovered a bug in do_tcp_sendpages() which was assuming its caller provided an array of order-0 page pointers. We only have to deal with a single page in this function, and its order is irrelevant.
