      mm: vmscan: fix inappropriate zone congestion clearing · ed23ec4f
      Johannes Weiner authored 
      commit c702418f ("mm: vmscan: do not keep kswapd looping forever due
to individual uncompactable zones") removed zone watermark checks from
the compaction code in kswapd but left in the zone congestion clearing,
which now happens unconditionally on higher order reclaim.

This messes up the reclaim throttling logic for zones with
dirty/writeback pages, where zones should only lose their congestion
status when their watermarks have been restored.

Remove the clearing from the zone compaction section entirely.  The
preliminary zone check and the reclaim loop in kswapd will clear it if
the zone is considered balanced.

      vfs: fix O_DIRECT read past end of block device · 684c9aae
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      The direct-IO write path already had the i_size checks in mm/filemap.c,
but it turns out the read path did not, and removing the block size
checks in fs/block_dev.c (commit bbec0270: "blkdev_max_block: make
private to fs/buffer.c") removed the magic "shrink IO to past the end of
the device" code there.

Fix it by truncating the IO to the size of the block device, like the
write path already does.

NOTE! I suspect the write path would be *much* better off doing it this
way in fs/block_dev.c, rather than hidden deep in mm/filemap.c.  The
mm/filemap.c code is extremely hard to follow, and has various
conditionals on the target being a block device (ie the flag passed in
to 'generic_write_checks()', along with a conditional update of the
inode timestamp etc).

It is also quite possible that we should treat this whole block device
size as a "s_maxbytes" issue, and try to make the logic even more
generic.  However, in the meantime this is the fairly minimal targeted
fix.

Noted by Milan Broz thanks to a regression test for the cryptsetup
reencrypt tool.

      net: gro: fix possible panic in skb_gro_receive() · c3c7c254
      Eric Dumazet authored 
      commit 2e71a6f8 (net: gro: selective flush of packets) added
a bug for skbs using frag_list. This part of the GRO stack is rarely
used, as it needs skb not using a page fragment for their skb->head.

Most drivers do use a page fragment, but some of them use GFP_KERNEL
allocations for the initial fill of their RX ring buffer.

napi_gro_flush() overwrite skb->prev that was used for these skb to
point to the last skb in frag_list.

Fix this using a separate field in struct napi_gro_cb to point to the
last fragment.

      tcp: bug fix Fast Open client retransmission · 93b174ad
      Yuchung Cheng authored 
      If SYN-ACK partially acks SYN-data, the client retransmits the
remaining data by tcp_retransmit_skb(). This increments lost recovery
state variables like tp->retrans_out in Open state. If loss recovery
happens before the retransmission is acked, it triggers the WARN_ON
check in tcp_fastretrans_alert(). For example: the client sends
SYN-data, gets SYN-ACK acking only ISN, retransmits data, sends
another 4 data packets and get 3 dupacks.

Since the retransmission is not caused by network drop it should not
update the recovery state variables. Further the server may return a
smaller MSS than the cached MSS used for SYN-data, so the retranmission
needs a loop. Otherwise some data will not be retransmitted until timeout
or other loss recovery events.

      watchdog: Fix CPU hotplug regression · 8d451690
      Thomas Gleixner authored 
      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."

      By using the native syscall entry point the kernel was also expecting
64-bit iovec structures.

This is broken since ddd9e91b [preadv/
pwritev: MIPS: Add preadv(2) and pwritev(2) syscalls.] which originally
added these two syscalls.  I walked through piles of code, including
libc and couldn't find anything that would have worked around the issue
so this change the API to what it should always have been.

      vfs: avoid "attempt to access beyond end of device" warnings · 57302e0d
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      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.

      workqueue: convert BUG_ON()s in __queue_delayed_work() to WARN_ON_ONCE()s · fc4b514f
      Tejun Heo authored 
      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.

      MIPS: Avoid mcheck by flushing page range in huge_ptep_set_access_flags() · ac53c4fc
      David Daney authored 
      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: fix BUG_ON() from incorrect use of delayed work · c1d390d8

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.  Change megaraid code to use
delayed work.
