Charles Shirron and Paul Cassella from Cray Inc have reported kswapd stuck in a busy loop with nothing left to balance, but kswapd_try_to_sleep() failing to sleep. Their analysis found the cause to be a combination of several factors: 1. A process is waiting in throttle_direct_reclaim() on pgdat->pfmemalloc_wait 2. The process has been killed (by OOM in this case), but has not yet been scheduled to remove itself from the waitqueue and die. 3. kswapd checks for throttled processes in prepare_kswapd_sleep(): if (waitqueue_active(&pgdat->pfmemalloc_wait)) { wake_up(&pgdat->pfmemalloc_wait); return false; // kswapd will not go to sleep } However, for a process that was already killed, wake_up() does not remove the process from the waitqueue, since try_to_wake_up() checks its state first and returns false when the process is no longer waiting. 4. kswapd is running on the same CPU as the only CPU that the process is allowed to run on (through cpus_allowed, or possibly single-cpu system). 5. CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE=y kernel is used. If there's nothing to balance, kswapd encounters no voluntary preemption points and repeatedly fails prepare_kswapd_sleep(), blocking the process from running and removing itself from the waitqueue, which would let kswapd sleep. So, the source of the problem is that we prevent kswapd from going to sleep until there are processes waiting on the pfmemalloc_wait queue, and a process waiting on a queue is guaranteed to be removed from the queue only when it gets scheduled. This was done to make sure that no process is left sleeping on pfmemalloc_wait when kswapd itself goes to sleep. However, it isn't necessary to postpone kswapd sleep until the pfmemalloc_wait queue actually empties. To prevent processes from being left sleeping, it's actually enough to guarantee that all processes waiting on pfmemalloc_wait queue have been woken up by the time we put kswapd to sleep. This patch therefore fixes this issue by substituting 'wake_up' with 'wake_up_all' and removing 'return false' in the code snippet from prepare_kswapd_sleep() above. Note that if any process puts itself in the queue after this waitqueue_active() check, or after the wake up itself, it means that the process will also wake up kswapd - and since we are under prepare_to_wait(), the wake up won't be missed. Also we update the comment prepare_kswapd_sleep() to hopefully more clearly describe the races it is preventing.

We are supposed to take one css reference per each memory page and per each swap entry accounted to a memory cgroup. However, during task charges migration we take a reference to the destination cgroup twice per each swap entry: first in mem_cgroup_do_precharge()->try_charge() and then in mem_cgroup_move_swap_account(), permanently leaking the destination cgroup. The hunk taking the second reference seems to be a leftover from the pre-00501b53 ("mm: memcontrol: rewrite charge API") era. Remove it to fix the leak.

Commit 3e32cb2e ("mm: memcontrol: lockless page counters") accidentally switched the soft limit default from infinity to zero, which turns all memcgs with even a single page into soft limit excessors and engages soft limit reclaim on all of them during global memory pressure. This makes global reclaim generally more aggressive, but also inverts the meaning of existing soft limit configurations where unset soft limits are usually more generous than set ones.

Fix clashing values for O_PATH and FMODE_NONOTIFY on sparc. The clashing O_PATH value was added in commit 5229645b ("vfs: add nonconflicting values for O_PATH") but this can't be changed as it is user-visible. FMODE_NONOTIFY is only used internally in the kernel, but it is in the same numbering space as the other O_* flags, as indicated by the comment at the top of include/uapi/asm-generic/fcntl.h (and its use in fs/notify/fanotify/fanotify_user.c). So renumber it to avoid the clash. All of this has happened before (commit 12ed2e36: "fanotify: FMODE_NONOTIFY and __O_SYNC in sparc conflict"), and all of this will happen again -- so update the uniqueness check in fcntl_init() to include __FMODE_NONOTIFY.

In ocfs2_link(), the parent directory inode passed to function ocfs2_lookup_ino_from_name() is wrong. Parameter dir is the parent of new_dentry not old_dentry. We should get old_dir from old_dentry and lookup old_dentry in old_dir in case another node remove the old dentry. With this change, hard linking works again, when paths are relative with at least one subdirectory. This is how the problem was reproducable: # mkdir a # mkdir b # touch a/test # ln a/test b/test ln: failed to create hard link `b/test' => `a/test': No such file or directory However when creating links in the same dir, it worked well. Now the link gets created.

Tejun, while reviewing the code, spotted the following race condition between the dirtying and truncation of a page: __set_page_dirty_nobuffers() __delete_from_page_cache() if (TestSetPageDirty(page)) page->mapping = NULL if (PageDirty()) dec_zone_page_state(page, NR_FILE_DIRTY); dec_bdi_stat(mapping->backing_dev_info, BDI_RECLAIMABLE); if (page->mapping) account_page_dirtied(page) __inc_zone_page_state(page, NR_FILE_DIRTY); __inc_bdi_stat(mapping->backing_dev_info, BDI_RECLAIMABLE); which results in an imbalance of NR_FILE_DIRTY and BDI_RECLAIMABLE. Dirtiers usually lock out truncation, either by holding the page lock directly, or in case of zap_pte_range(), by pinning the mapcount with the page table lock held. The notable exception to this rule, though, is do_wp_page(), for which this race exists. However, do_wp_page() already waits for a locked page to unlock before setting the dirty bit, in order to prevent a race where clear_page_dirty() misses the page bit in the presence of dirty ptes. Upgrade that wait to a fully locked set_page_dirty() to also cover the situation explained above. Afterwards, the code in set_page_dirty() dealing with a truncation race is no longer needed. Remove it. Reported-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Acked-by: Kirill A.

Constantly forking task causes unlimited grow of anon_vma chain. Each next child allocates new level of anon_vmas and links vma to all previous levels because pages might be inherited from any level. This patch adds heuristic which decides to reuse existing anon_vma instead of forking new one. It adds counter anon_vma->degree which counts linked vmas and directly descending anon_vmas and reuses anon_vma if counter is lower than two. As a result each anon_vma has either vma or at least two descending anon_vmas. In such trees half of nodes are leafs with alive vmas, thus count of anon_vmas is no more than two times bigger than count of vmas. This heuristic reuses anon_vmas as few as possible because each reuse adds false aliasing among vmas and rmap walker ought to scan more ptes when it searches where page is might be mapped.

wait_consider_task() checks EXIT_ZOMBIE after EXIT_DEAD/EXIT_TRACE and both checks can fail if we race with EXIT_ZOMBIE -> EXIT_DEAD/EXIT_TRACE change in between, gcc needs to reload p->exit_state after security_task_wait(). In this case ->notask_error will be wrongly cleared and do_wait() can hang forever if it was the last eligible child. Many thanks to Arne who carefully investigated the problem. Note: this bug is very old but it was pure theoretical until commit b3ab0316 ("wait: completely ignore the EXIT_DEAD tasks"). Before this commit "-O2" was probably enough to guarantee that compiler won't read ->exit_state twice.

The introduction of the uapi directories in v3.7-rc1 moved some of the generated headers from arch/*/include/generated to the uapi directory, keeping the #include directives intact. This creates a problem when bisecting, because the unversioned files are not cleaned automatically by git and the compiler might include stale headers as a result. Instead of cleaning them in the Makefiles, promote arch/*/include/generated/uapi in the search path. Under normal circumstances, there is no overlap between this uapi subdirectory and its parent, so the include choices remain the same. We keep arch/*/include/generated/uapi in the USERINCLUDE variable so that it is usable standalone. Note that we cannot completely swap the order of the uapi and kernel-only directories, since the headers in include/uapi/asm-generic are meant to be wrapped by their include/asm-generic counterparts when building kernel code.

Jay Foad reports that the address sanitizer test (asan) sometimes gets confused by a stack pointer that ends up being outside the stack vma that is reported by /proc/maps. This happens due to an interaction between RLIMIT_STACK and the guard page: when we do the guard page check, we ignore the potential error from the stack expansion, which effectively results in a missing guard page, since the expected stack expansion won't have been done. And since /proc/maps explicitly ignores the guard page (commit d7824370: "mm: fix up some user-visible effects of the stack guard page"), the stack pointer ends up being outside the reported stack area. This is the minimal patch: it just propagates the error. It also effectively makes the guard page part of the stack limit, which in turn measn that the actual real stack is one page less than the stack limit. Let's see if anybody notices. We could teach acct_stack_growth() to allow an extra page for a grow-up/grow-down stack in the rlimit test, but I don't want to add more complexity if it isn't needed.

Merge tag 'mac80211-for-davem-2015-01-06' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jberg/mac80211 Here's just a single fix - a revert of a patch that broke the p54 and cw2100 drivers (arguably due to bad assumptions there.) Since this affects kernels since 3.17, I decided to revert for now and we'll revisit this optimisation properly for -next. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Support ndo_features_check to avoid: - the transport offset is more than the hw limitation when using hw checksum. - the skb->len of a GSO packet is more than the limitation. Signed-off-by: Hayes Wang <hayeswang@realtek.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

The reason we defer kfree until release function is because it's a general rule for kobjects: kfree of the reference counter itself is only legal in the release function. Previous patch didn't make this clear, document this in code. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com>

A struct device which has just been unregistered can live on past the point at which a driver decides to drop it's initial reference to the kobject gained on allocation. This implies that when releasing a virtio device, we can't free a struct virtio_device until the underlying struct device has been released, which might not happen immediately on device_unregister(). Unfortunately, this is exactly what virtio pci does: it has an empty release callback, and frees memory immediately after unregistering the device. This causes an easy to reproduce crash if CONFIG_DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE it enabled. To fix, free the memory only once we know the device is gone in the release callback.

It turns out we need to add device-specific code in release callback. Move it to virtio_pci_legacy.c. Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com>

Our code calls del_vqs multiple times, assuming it's idempotent. commit 3ec7a77b virtio_pci: free up vq->priv broke this assumption, by adding kfree there, so multiple calls cause double free.
