      nfsd: special case truncates some more · 783112f7
      Christoph Hellwig authored 
      Both the NFS protocols and the Linux VFS use a setattr operation with a
bitmap of attributes to set to set various file attributes including the
file size and the uid/gid.

The Linux syscalls never mix size updates with unrelated updates like
the uid/gid, and some file systems like XFS and GFS2 rely on the fact
that truncates don't update random other attributes, and many other file
systems handle the case but do not update the other attributes in the
same transaction.  NFSD on the other hand passes the attributes it gets
on the wire more or less directly through to the VFS, leading to updates
the file systems don't expect.  XFS at least has an assert on the
allowed attributes, which caught an unusual NFS client setting the size
and group at the same time.

To handle this issue properly this splits the notify_change call in
nfsd_setattr into two separate ones.

      NFSDv4: use export cache flushtime for changeid on V4ROOT objects. · b8800921
      NeilBrown authored 
      If you change the set of filesystems that are exported, then
the contents of various directories in the NFSv4 pseudo-root
is likely to change.  However the change-id of those
directories is currently tied to the underlying directory,
so the client may not see the changes in a timely fashion.

This patch changes the change-id number to be derived from the
"flush_time" of the export cache.  Whenever any changes are
made to the set of exported filesystems, this flush_time is
updated.  The result is that clients see changes to the set
of exported filesystems much more quickly, often immediately.

      mm, fs: check for fatal signals in do_generic_file_read() · 5abf186a
      Michal Hocko authored 
      do_generic_file_read() can be told to perform a large request from
userspace.  If the system is under OOM and the reading task is the OOM
victim then it has an access to memory reserves and finishing the full
request can lead to the full memory depletion which is dangerous.  Make
sure we rather go with a short read and allow the killed task to
terminate.

      Michal Hocko authored 
      Tetsuo has noticed that an OOM stress test which performs large write
requests can cause the full memory reserves depletion.  He has tracked
this down to the following path

	__alloc_pages_nodemask+0x436/0x4d0
	alloc_pages_current+0x97/0x1b0
	__page_cache_alloc+0x15d/0x1a0          mm/filemap.c:728
	pagecache_get_page+0x5a/0x2b0           mm/filemap.c:1331
	grab_cache_page_write_begin+0x23/0x40   mm/filemap.c:2773
	iomap_write_begin+0x50/0xd0             fs/iomap.c:118

	SyS_write+0x58/0xc0
	do_syscall_64+0x6c/0x200
	entry_SYSCALL64_slow_path+0x25/0x25

the oom victim has access to all memory reserves to make a forward
progress to exit easier.  But iomap_file_buffered_write and other
callers of iomap_apply loop to complete the full request.  We need to
check for fatal signals and back off with a short write instead.

As the iomap_apply delegates all the work down to the actor we have to
hook into those.  All callers that work with the page cache are calling
iomap_write_begin so we will check for signals there.  dax_iomap_actor
has to handle the situation explicitly because it copies data to the
userspace directly.  Other callers like iomap_page_mkwrite work on a
single page or iomap_fiemap_actor do not allocate memory based on the
given len.

      base/memory, hotplug: fix a kernel oops in show_valid_zones() · a96dfddb
      Toshi Kani authored 
      Reading a sysfs "memoryN/valid_zones" file leads to the following oops
when the first page of a range is not backed by struct page.
show_valid_zones() assumes that 'start_pfn' is always valid for
page_zone().

 BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffea017a000000
 IP: show_valid_zones+0x6f/0x160

This issue may happen on x86-64 systems with 64GiB or more memory since
their memory block size is bumped up to 2GiB.  [1] An example of such
systems is desribed below.  0x3240000000 is only aligned by 1GiB and
this memory block starts from 0x3200000000, which is not backed by
struct page.

 BIOS-e820: [mem 0x0000003240000000-0x000000603fffffff] usable

Since test_pages_in_a_zone() already checks holes, fix this issue by
extending this function to return 'valid_start' and 'valid_end' for a
given range.  show_valid_zones() then proceeds with the valid range.

    large-memory x86-64 systems")'
