      mm: fix UP THP spin_is_locked BUGs · b9980cdc
      Hugh Dickins authored
      Fix CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE=y CONFIG_SMP=n CONFIG_DEBUG_VM=y
      CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK=n kernel: spin_is_locked() is then always false,
      and so triggers some BUGs in Transparent HugePage codepaths.
      
      asm-generic/bug.h mentions this problem, and provides a WARN_ON_SMP(x);
      but being too lazy to add VM_BUG_ON_SMP, BUG_ON_SMP, WARN_ON_SMP_ONCE,
      VM_WARN_ON_SMP_ONCE, just test NR_CPUS != 1 in the existing VM_BUG_ONs.

      drivers/leds/leds-lm3530.c: fix setting pltfm->als_vmax · ec44fd42
      Axel Lin authored
      In current code, pltfm->als_vmin is set to LM3530_ALS_WINDOW_mV and
      pltfm->als_vmax is 0.  This does not make sense.  I think what we want
      here is setting pltfm->als_vmax to LM3530_ALS_WINDOW_mV.
      
      Both als_vmin and als_vmax local variables will be set to
      pltfm->als_vmin and pltfm->als_vmax by a few lines latter.  Thus also
      remove a redundant assignment for als_vmin and als_vmax in this patch.

      mm: compaction: check for overlapping nodes during isolation for migration · dc908600
      Mel Gorman authored
      When isolating pages for migration, migration starts at the start of a
      zone while the free scanner starts at the end of the zone.  Migration
      avoids entering a new zone by never going beyond the free scanned.
      
      Unfortunately, in very rare cases nodes can overlap.  When this happens,
      migration isolates pages without the LRU lock held, corrupting lists
      which will trigger errors in reclaim or during page free such as in the
      following oops

      The "X" in the taint flag means that external modules were loaded but but
      is unrelated to the bug triggering.  The real problem was because the PFN
      layout looks like this
      
        Zone PFN ranges:
          DMA      0x00000010 -> 0x00001000
          DMA32    0x00001000 -> 0x00100000
          Normal   0x00100000 -> 0x01e80000
        Movable zone start PFN for each node

            0: 0x00000010 -> 0x0000009b
            0: 0x00000100 -> 0x0007a1ec
            0: 0x0007a354 -> 0x0007a379
            0: 0x0007f7ff -> 0x0007f800
            0: 0x00100000 -> 0x00680000
            1: 0x00680000 -> 0x00e80000
            0: 0x00e80000 -> 0x01080000
            1: 0x01080000 -> 0x01280000
            0: 0x01280000 -> 0x01480000
            1: 0x01480000 -> 0x01680000
            0: 0x01680000 -> 0x01880000
            1: 0x01880000 -> 0x01a80000
            0: 0x01a80000 -> 0x01c80000
            1: 0x01c80000 -> 0x01e80000
      
      The fix is straight-forward.  isolate_migratepages() has to make a
      similar check to isolate_freepage to ensure that it never isolates pages
      from a zone it does not hold the LRU lock for.
      
      This was discovered in a 3.0-based kernel but it affects 3.1.x, 3.2.x
      and current mainline.

      Power management fixes for 3.3-rc3
      
      Three power management regression fixes, one for a recent regression introcuded
      by the freezer changes during the 3.3 merge window and two for regressions
      in cpuidle (resulting from PM QoS changes) and in the hibernate user space
      interface, both introduced during the 3.2 development cycle.
      
      They include:
      
      * Two hibernate (s2disk) regression fixes from Srivatsa S. Bhat (for
       regressions introduced during the 3.3 merge window and during the 3.2
       development cycle).
      
      * A cpuidle fix from Venki Pallipadi for a regression resulting from PM QoS
       changes during the 3.2 development cycle causing cpuidle to work incorrectly
       for CONFIG_PM unset.

      PM / QoS: CPU C-state breakage with PM Qos change · d020283d
      Venkatesh Pallipadi authored
      Looks like change "PM QoS: Move and rename the implementation files"
      merged during the 3.2 development cycle made PM QoS depend on
      CONFIG_PM which depends on (PM_SLEEP || PM_RUNTIME).
      
      That breaks CPU C-states with kernels not having these CONFIGs, causing CPUs
      to spend time in Polling loop idle instead of going into deep C-states,
      consuming way way more power. This is with either acpi idle or intel idle
      enabled.
      
      Either CONFIG_PM should be enabled with any pm_qos users or
      the !CONFIG_PM pm_qos_request() should return sane defaults not to break
      the existing users. Here's is the patch for the latter option.
      
      [rjw: Modified the changelog slightly.]

      PM / Freezer: Thaw only kernel threads if freezing of kernel threads fails · 379e0be8
      Srivatsa S. Bhat authored
      If freezing of kernel threads fails, we are expected to automatically
      thaw tasks in the error recovery path. However, at times, we encounter
      situations in which we would like the automatic error recovery path
      to thaw only the kernel threads, because we want to be able to do
      some more cleanup before we thaw userspace. Something like:
      
      error = freeze_kernel_threads();
      if (error) {
      	/* Do some cleanup */
      
      	/* Only then thaw userspace tasks*/
      	thaw_processes();
      }
      
      An example of such a situation is where we freeze/thaw filesystems
      during suspend/hibernation. There, if freezing of kernel threads
      fails, we would like to thaw the frozen filesystems before thawing
      the userspace tasks.
      
      So, modify freeze_kernel_threads() to thaw only kernel threads in
      case of freezing failure. And change suspend_freeze_processes()
      accordingly. (At the same time, let us also get rid of the rather
      cryptic usage of the conditional operator (:?) in that function.)
      
      [rjw: In fact, this patch fixes a regression introduced during the
       3.3 merge window, because without it thaw_processes() may be called
       before swsusp_free() in some situations and that may lead to massive
       memory allocation failures.]

      mm: compaction: check pfn_valid when entering a new MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES block during isolation for migration
      
      When isolating for migration, migration starts at the start of a zone
      which is not necessarily pageblock aligned.  Further, it stops isolating
      when COMPACT_CLUSTER_MAX pages are isolated so migrate_pfn is generally
      not aligned.  This allows isolate_migratepages() to call pfn_to_page() on
      an invalid PFN which can result in a crash.  This was originally reported
      against a 3.0-based kernel with the following trace in a crash dump.

      It was also reported by Herbert van den Bergh against 3.1-based kernel
      with the following snippet from the console log.
      
      BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at 01c00008
      IP: [<c0522399>] isolate_migratepages+0x119/0x390
      *pdpt = 000000002f7ce001 *pde = 0000000000000000
      
      It is expected that it also affects 3.2.x and current mainline.
      
      The problem is that pfn_valid is only called on the first PFN being
      checked and that PFN is not necessarily aligned.  Lets say we have a case
      like this
      
      H = MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES boundary
      | = pageblock boundary
      m = cc->migrate_pfn
      f = cc->free_pfn
      o = memory hole
      
      H------|------H------|----m-Hoooooo|ooooooH-f----|------H
      
      The migrate_pfn is just below a memory hole and the free scanner is beyond
      the hole.  When isolate_migratepages started, it scans from migrate_pfn to
      migrate_pfn+pageblock_nr_pages which is now in a memory hole.  It checks
      pfn_valid() on the first PFN but then scans into the hole where there are
      not necessarily valid struct pages.
      
      This patch ensures that isolate_migratepages calls pfn_valid when
      necessary.

      readahead: fix pipeline break caused by block plug · 3deaa719
      Shaohua Li authored
      Herbert Poetzl reported a performance regression since 2.6.39.  The test
      is a simple dd read, but with big block size.  The reason is:
      
      T1: ra (A, A+128k), (A+128k, A+256k)
      T2: lock_page for page A, submit the 256k
      T3: hit page A+128K, ra (A+256k, A+384). the range isn't submitted
      because of plug and there isn't any lock_page till we hit page A+256k
      because all pages from A to A+256k is in memory
      T4: hit page A+256k, ra (A+384, A+ 512). Because of plug, the range isn't
      submitted again.
      T5: lock_page A+256k, so (A+256k, A+512k) will be submitted. The task is
      waitting for (A+256k, A+512k) finish.
      
      There is no request to disk in T3 and T4, so readahead pipeline breaks.
      
      We really don't need block plug for generic_file_aio_read() for buffered
      I/O.  The readahead already has plug and has fine grained control when I/O
      should be submitted.  Deleting plug for buffered I/O fixes the regression.
      
      One side effect is plug makes the request size 256k, the size is 128k
      without it.  This is because default ra size is 128k and not a reason we
      need plug here.
      
      Vivek said:
      
      : We submit some readahead IO to device request queue but because of nested
      : plug, queue never gets unplugged.  When read logic reaches a page which is
      : not in page cache, it waits for page to be read from the disk
      : (lock_page_killable()) and that time we flush the plug list.
      :
      : So effectively read ahead logic is kind of broken in parts because of
      : nested plugging.  Removing top level plug (generic_file_aio_read()) for
      : buffered reads, will allow unplugging queue earlier for readahead.

      kprobes: fix a memory leak in function pre_handler_kretprobe() · 55ca6140
      Jiang Liu authored
      In function pre_handler_kretprobe(), the allocated kretprobe_instance
      object will get leaked if the entry_handler callback returns non-zero.
      This may cause all the preallocated kretprobe_instance objects exhausted.
      
      This issue can be reproduced by changing
      samples/kprobes/kretprobe_example.c to probe "mutex_unlock".  And the fix
      is straightforward: just put the allocated kretprobe_instance object back
      onto the free_instances list.

      drivers/tty/vt/vt_ioctl.c: fix KDFONTOP 32bit compatibility layer · cbcb8346
      Samuel Thibault authored
      KDFONTOP(GET) currently fails with EIO when being run in a 32bit userland
      with a 64bit kernel if the font width is not 8.
      
      This is because of the setting of the KD_FONT_FLAG_OLD flag, which makes
      con_font_get return EIO in such case.
      
      This flag should *not* be set for KDFONTOP, since it's actually the whole
      point of this flag (see comment in con_font_set for instance).
