After commit f5bf18fa ("bootmem/sparsemem: remove limit constraint in alloc_bootmem_section"), usemap allocations may easily be placed outside the optimal section that holds the node descriptor, even if there is space available in that section. This results in unnecessary hotplug dependencies that need to have the node unplugged before the section holding the usemap. The reason is that the bootmem allocator doesn't guarantee a linear search starting from the passed allocation goal but may start out at a much higher address absent an upper limit. Fix this by trying the allocation with the limit at the section end, then retry without if that fails. This keeps the fix from f5bf18fa of not panicking if the allocation does not fit in the section, but still makes sure to try to stay within the section at first. Signed-off-by:

Commit 238305bb ("mm: remove sparsemem allocation details from the bootmem allocator") introduced a bug in the allocation goal calculation that put section usemaps not in the same section as the node descriptors, creating unnecessary hotplug dependencies between them: node 0 must be removed before remove section 16399 node 1 must be removed before remove section 16399 node 2 must be removed before remove section 16399 node 3 must be removed before remove section 16399 node 4 must be removed before remove section 16399 node 5 must be removed before remove section 16399 node 6 must be removed before remove section 16399 The reason is that it applies PAGE_SECTION_MASK to the physical address of the node descriptor when finding a suitable place to put the usemap, when this mask is actually intended to be used with PFNs. Because the PFN mask is wider, the target address will point beyond the wanted section holding the node descriptor and the node must be offlined before the section holding the usemap can go. Fix this by extending the mask to address width before use. Signed-off-by:

shmem_add_to_page_cache() has three callsites, but only one of them wants the radix_tree_preload() (an exceptional entry guarantees that the radix tree node is present in the other cases), and only that site can achieve mem_cgroup_uncharge_cache_page() (PageSwapCache makes it a no-op in the other cases). We did it this way originally to reflect add_to_page_cache_locked(); but it's confusing now, so move the radix_tree preloading and mem_cgroup uncharging to that one caller. Signed-off-by:

When adding the page_private checks before calling shmem_replace_page(), I did realize that there is a further race, but thought it too unlikely to need a hurried fix. But independently I've been chasing why a mem cgroup's memory.stat sometimes shows negative rss after all tasks have gone: I expected it to be a stats gathering bug, but actually it's shmem swapping's fault. It's an old surprise, that when you lock_page(lookup_swap_cache(swap)), the page may have been removed from swapcache before getting the lock; or it may have been freed and reused and be back in swapcache; and it can even be using the same swap location as before (page_private same). The swapoff case is already secure against this (swap cannot be reused until the whole area has been swapped off, and a new swapped on); and shmem_getpage_gfp() is protected by shmem_add_to_page_cache()'s check for the expected radix_tree entry - but a little too late. By that time, we might have already decided to shmem_replace_page(): I don't know of a problem from that, but I'd feel more at ease not to do so spuriously. And we have already done mem_cgroup_cache_charge(), on perhaps the wrong mem cgroup: and this charge is not then undone on the error path, because PageSwapCache ends up preventing that. It's this last case which causes the occasional negative rss in memory.stat: the page is charged here as cache, but (sometimes) found to be anon when eventually it's uncharged - and in between, it's an undeserved charge on the wrong memcg. Fix this by adding an earlier check on the radix_tree entry: it's inelegant to descend the tree twice, but swapping is not the fast path, and a better solution would need a pair (try+commit) of memcg calls, and a rework of shmem_replace_page() to keep out of the swapcache. We can use the added shmem_confirm_swap() function to replace the find_get_page+page_cache_release we were already doing on the error path. And add a comment on that -EEXIST: it seems a peculiar errno to be using, but originates from its use in radix_tree_insert(). [It can be surprising to see positive rss left in a memcg's memory.stat after all tasks have gone, since it is supposed to count anonymous but not shmem. Aside from sharing anon pages via fork with a task in some other memcg, it often happens after swapping: because a swap page can't be freed while under writeback, nor while locked. So it's not an error, and these residual pages are easily freed once pressure demands.] Signed-off-by:

Revert 4fb5ef08 ("tmpfs: support SEEK_DATA and SEEK_HOLE"). I believe it's correct, and it's been nice to have from rc1 to rc6; but as the original commit said: I don't know who actually uses SEEK_DATA or SEEK_HOLE, and whether it would be of any use to them on tmpfs. This code adds 92 lines and 752 bytes on x86_64 - is that bloat or worthwhile? Nobody asked for it, so I conclude that it's bloat: let's revert tmpfs to the dumb generic support for v3.5. We can always reinstate it later if useful, and anyone needing it in a hurry can just get it out of git. Signed-off-by:

Requesting a threaded interrupt without a primary handler and without IRQF_ONESHOT is dangerous, and after commit 1c6c6952 ("genirq: Reject bogus threaded irq requests"), these requests are rejected. This causes ->probe() to fail, and the RTC driver not to be availble. To fix, add IRQF_ONESHOT to the IRQ flags. Tested on OMAP3730/OveroSTORM and OMAP4430/Panda board using rtcwake to wake from system suspend multiple times. Signed-off-by:

The code here has a nested spin_lock_irqsave(). It's not needed since IRQs are already disabled and it causes a problem because it means that IRQs won't be enabled again at the end. The second call to spin_lock_irqsave() will overwrite the value of irq_flags and we can't restore the proper settings. Signed-off-by:

There is a bug in the below scenario for !CONFIG_MMU: 1. create a new file 2. mmap the file and write to it 3. read the file can't get the correct value Because sys_read() -> generic_file_aio_read() -> simple_readpage() -> clear_page() which causes the page to be zeroed. Add SetPageUptodate() to ramfs_nommu_expand_for_mapping() so that generic_file_aio_read() do not call simple_readpage(). Signed-off-by:

If page migration cannot charge the temporary page to the memcg, migrate_pages() will return -ENOMEM. This isn't considered in memory compaction however, and the loop continues to iterate over all pageblocks trying to isolate and migrate pages. If a small number of very large memcgs happen to be oom, however, these attempts will mostly be futile leading to an enormous amout of cpu consumption due to the page migration failures. This patch will short circuit and fail memory compaction if migrate_pages() returns -ENOMEM. COMPACT_PARTIAL is returned in case some migrations were successful so that the page allocator will retry.

"no other files mapped" requirement from my previous patch (c/r: prctl: update prctl_set_mm_exe_file() after mm->num_exe_file_vmas removal) is too paranoid, it forbids operation even if there mapped one shared-anon vma. Let's check that current mm->exe_file already unmapped, in this case exe_file symlink already outdated and its changing is reasonable. Plus, this patch fixes exit code in case operation success.

kswapd_stop() is called to destroy the kswapd work thread when all memory of a NUMA node has been offlined. But kswapd_stop() only terminates the work thread without resetting NODE_DATA(nid)->kswapd to NULL. The stale pointer will prevent kswapd_run() from creating a new work thread when adding memory to the memory-less NUMA node again. Eventually the stale pointer may cause invalid memory access. An example stack dump as below. It's reproduced with 2.6.32, but latest kernel has the same issue.

We already use them for openat() and friends, but fchdir() also wants to be able to use O_PATH file descriptors. This should make it comparable to the O_SEARCH of Solaris. In particular, O_PATH allows you to access (not-quite-open) a directory you don't have read persmission to, only execute permission. Noticed during development of multithread support for ksh93.

Pull ARM fixes from Russell King: "Last merge window, we had some updates from Al cleaning up the signal restart handling. These have caused some problems on ARM, and while Al has some fixes, we have some concerns with Al's patches but we've been unsuccesful with discussing this. We have got to the point where we need to do something, and we've decided that the best solution is to revert the appropriate commits until Al is able to reply to us. Also included here are four patches to fix warnings that I've noticed in my build system, and one fix for kprobes test code." * 'fixes' of git://git.linaro.org/people/rmk/linux-arm: ARM: fix warning caused by wrongly typed arm_dma_limit ARM: fix warnings about atomic64_read ARM: 7440/1: kprobes: only test 'sub pc, pc, #1b-2b+8-2' on ARMv6 ARM: 7441/1: perf: return -EOPNOTSUPP if requested mode exclusion is unavailable ARM: 7443/1: Revert "new way of handling ERESTART_RESTARTBLOCK" ARM: 7442/1: Revert "remove unused restart trampoline" ARM: fix set_domain() macro ARM: fix mach-versatile/pci.c warning

The documentation didn't actually mention how to enable no_new_privs. This also adds a note about possible interactions between no_new_privs and LSMs (i.e. why teaching systemd to set no_new_privs is not necessarily a good idea), and it references the new docs from include/linux/prctl.h.

Merge tag 'ecryptfs-3.5-rc6-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tyhicks/ecryptfs Pull eCryptfs fixes from Tyler Hicks: "Fixes an incorrect access mode check when preparing to open a file in the lower filesystem. This isn't an urgent fix, but it is simple and the check was obviously incorrect. Also fixes a couple important bugs in the eCryptfs miscdev interface. These changes are low risk due to the small number of users that use the miscdev interface. I was able to keep the changes minimal and I have some cleaner, more complete changes queued up for the next merge window that will build on these patches." * tag 'ecryptfs-3.5-rc6-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tyhicks/ecryptfs: eCryptfs: Gracefully refuse miscdev file ops on inherited/passed files eCryptfs: Fix lockdep warning in miscdev operations eCryptfs: Properly check for O_RDONLY flag before doing privileged open

Pull target fixes from Nicholas Bellinger: "Two minor target fixes. There is really nothing exciting and/or controversial this time around. There's one fix from MDR for a RCU debug warning message within tcm_fc code (CC'ed to stable), and a small AC fix for qla_target.c based upon a recent Coverity static report. Also, there is one other outstanding virtio-scsi LUN scanning bugfix that has been uncovered with the in-flight tcm_vhost driver over the last days, and that needs to make it into 3.5 final too. This patch has been posted to linux-scsi again here: http://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=134160609212542&w=2 and I've asked James to include it in his next PULL request." * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nab/target-pending: qla2xxx: print the right array elements in qlt_async_event tcm_fc: Resolve suspicious RCU usage warnings -

File operations on /dev/ecryptfs would BUG() when the operations were performed by processes other than the process that originally opened the file. This could happen with open files inherited after fork() or file descriptors passed through IPC mechanisms. Rather than calling BUG(), an error code can be safely returned in most situations. In ecryptfs_miscdev_release(), eCryptfs still needs to handle the release even if the last file reference is being held by a process that didn't originally open the file. ecryptfs_find_daemon_by_euid() will not be successful, so a pointer to the daemon is stored in the file's private_data. The private_data pointer is initialized when the miscdev file is opened and only used when the file is released. https://launchpad.net/bugs/994247Signed-off-by:

Based upon Alan's patch from Coverity scan id 793583, these debug messages in qlt_async_event() should be starting from byte 0, which is always the Asynchronous Event Status Code from the parent switch statement. Also, rename reason_code -> login_code following the language used in 2500 FW spec for Port Database Changed (0x8014) -> Port Database Changed Event Mailbox Register for mailbox[2]. Signed-off-by:
