The patch only removes ptrace_get_breakpoints/ptrace_put_breakpoints and does a couple of "while at it" cleanups, it doesn't remove other changes from the reverted commit. Signed-off-by:

This patch, originally from Android kernel, adds vfat ioctl command FAT_IOCTL_GET_VOLUME_ID, with this command we can get the vfat volume ID using following code: ioctl(fd, FAT_IOCTL_GET_VOLUME_ID, &volume_ID) This patch is a modified version of the patch by Mike Lockwood, with changes from Dmitry Pervushin, who noticed the original patch makes some volume IDs abiguous with error returns: for example, if volume id is 0xFFFFFDAD, that matches -ENOIOCTLCMD, we get "FFFFFFFF" from the user space. So add a parameter to ioctl to get the correct volume ID. Android uses vfat volume ID to identify different sd card, when a new sd card is inserted to device, android can scan the media on it and pop up new contents. Signed-off-by:

min_free_kbytes is updated during memory hotplug (by init_per_zone_wmark_min) currently which is right thing to do in most cases but this could be unexpected if admin increased the value to prevent from allocation failures and the new min_free_kbytes would be decreased as a result of memory hotadd. This patch saves the user defined value and allows updating min_free_kbytes only if it is higher than the saved one. A warning is printed when the new value is ignored. Signed-off-by:

Now memcg has the same life cycle with its corresponding cgroup, and a cgroup is freed via RCU and then mem_cgroup_css_free() will be called in a work function, so we can simply call __mem_cgroup_free() in mem_cgroup_css_free().

Use css_get/put instead of mem_cgroup_get/put. A simple replacement will do. The historical reason that memcg has its own refcnt instead of always using css_get/put, is that cgroup couldn't be removed if there're still css refs, so css refs can't be used as long-lived reference. The situation has changed so that rmdir a cgroup will succeed regardless css refs, but won't be freed until css refs goes down to 0. Signed-off-by:

Use css_get/put instead of mem_cgroup_get/put. We can't do a simple replacement, because here mem_cgroup_put() is called during mem_cgroup_css_free(), while mem_cgroup_css_free() won't be called until css refcnt goes down to 0. Instead we increment css refcnt in mem_cgroup_css_offline(), and then check if there's still kmem charges. If not, css refcnt will be decremented immediately, otherwise the refcnt will be released after the last kmem allocation is uncahred. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: tweak comment] Signed-off-by:

Li Zefan authored
Use css_get()/css_put() instead of mem_cgroup_get()/mem_cgroup_put(). There are two things being done in the current code: First, we acquired a css_ref to make sure that the underlying cgroup would not go away. That is a short lived reference, and it is put as soon as the cache is created. At this point, we acquire a long-lived per-cache memcg reference count to guarantee that the memcg will still be alive. so it is: enqueue: css_get create : memcg_get, css_put destroy: memcg_put So we only need to get rid of the memcg_get, change the memcg_put to css_put, and get rid of the now extra css_put.

Use css_get/css_put instead of mem_cgroup_get/put. Note, if at the same time someone is moving @current to a different cgroup and removing the old cgroup, css_tryget() may return false, and sock->sk_cgrp won't be initialized, which is fine. Signed-off-by:

mem_cgroup_css_online calls mem_cgroup_put if memcg_init_kmem fails. This is not correct because only memcg_propagate_kmem takes an additional reference while mem_cgroup_sockets_init is allowed to fail as well (although no current implementation fails) but it doesn't take any reference. This all suggests that it should be memcg_propagate_kmem that should clean up after itself so this patch moves mem_cgroup_put over there. Unfortunately this is not that easy (as pointed out by Li Zefan) because memcg_kmem_mark_dead marks the group dead (KMEM_ACCOUNTED_DEAD) if it is marked active (KMEM_ACCOUNTED_ACTIVE) which is the case even if memcg_propagate_kmem fails so the additional reference is dropped in that case in kmem_cgroup_destroy which means that the reference would be dropped two times. The easiest way then would be to simply remove mem_cgrroup_put from mem_cgroup_css_online and rely on kmem_cgroup_destroy doing the right thing. Signed-off-by:

This reverts commit e4715f01. mem_cgroup_put is hierarchy aware so mem_cgroup_put(memcg) already drops an additional reference from all parents so the additional mem_cgrroup_put(parent) potentially causes use-after-free. Signed-off-by:

After the patch "mm: vmscan: Flatten kswapd priority loop" was merged the scanning priority of kswapd changed. The priority now rises until it is scanning enough pages to meet the high watermark. shrink_inactive_list sets ZONE_WRITEBACK if a number of pages were encountered under writeback but this value is scaled based on the priority. As kswapd frequently scans with a higher priority now it is relatively easy to set ZONE_WRITEBACK. This patch removes the scaling and treates writeback pages similar to how it treats unqueued dirty pages and congested pages. The user-visible effect should be that kswapd will writeback fewer pages from reclaim context. Signed-off-by:

Direct reclaim is not aborting to allow compaction to go ahead properly. do_try_to_free_pages is told to abort reclaim which is happily ignores and instead increases priority instead until it reaches 0 and starts shrinking file/anon equally. This patch corrects the situation by aborting reclaim when requested instead of raising priority. Signed-off-by:

When searching a vmap area in the vmalloc space, we use (addr + size - 1) to check if the value is less than addr, which is an overflow. But we assign (addr + size) to vmap_area->va_end. So if we come across the below case: (addr + size - 1) : not overflow (addr + size) : overflow we will assign an overflow value (e.g 0) to vmap_area->va_end, And this will trigger BUG in __insert_vmap_area, causing system panic. So using (addr + size) to check the overflow should be the correct behaviour, not (addr + size - 1). Signed-off-by:

After commit 839a8e86 ("writeback: replace custom worker pool implementation with unbound workqueue"), bdi_writeback_workfn runs off bdi_writeback->dwork, on each execution, it processes bdi->work_list and reschedules if there are more things to do instead of flush any work that race with us existing.

With CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE unset, there is a compile warning: mm/sparse.c:755: warning: `clear_hwpoisoned_pages' defined but not used And Bisecting it ended up pointing to 4edd7cef ("mm, hotplug: avoid compiling memory hotremove functions when disabled"). This is because the commit above put sparse_remove_one_section() within the protection of CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE but the only user of clear_hwpoisoned_pages() is sparse_remove_one_section(), and it is not within the protection of CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE. So put clear_hwpoisoned_pages within CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE should fix the warning. Signed-off-by:

In __rmqueue_fallback(), current_order loops down from MAX_ORDER - 1 to the order passed. MAX_ORDER is typically 11 and pageblock_order is typically 9 on x86. Integer division truncates, so pageblock_order / 2 is 4. For the first eight iterations, it's guaranteed that current_order >= pageblock_order / 2 if it even gets that far! So just remove the unlikely(), it's completely bogus. Signed-off-by:
