        have observed.
      
        But there is no point in delaying the other 4 commits which achieve
        full correctness into 3.6 as they are tagged for stable anyway.  And I
        rather prefer to have the full fixes merged in bulk than a "prevent
        the observable wreckage and deal with the hidden fallout later"
        approach."

      x86/vsyscall: allow seccomp filter in vsyscall=emulate · 5651721e
      Will Drewry authored
      If a seccomp filter program is installed, older static binaries and
      distributions with older libc implementations (glibc 2.13 and earlier)
      that rely on vsyscall use will be terminated regardless of the filter
      program policy when executing time, gettimeofday, or getcpu.  This is
      only the case when vsyscall emulation is in use (vsyscall=emulate is the
      default).
      
      This patch emulates system call entry inside a vsyscall=emulate by
      populating regs->ax and regs->orig_ax with the system call number prior
      to calling into seccomp such that all seccomp-dependencies function
      normally.  Additionally, system call return behavior is emulated in line
      with other vsyscall entrypoints for the trace/trap cases.
      
      [ v2: fixed ip and sp on SECCOMP_RET_TRAP/TRACE (thanks to luto@mit.edu) ]

      block: fix infinite loop in __getblk_slow · 91f68c89
      Jeff Moyer authored
      Commit 080399aa ("block: don't mark buffers beyond end of disk as
      mapped") exposed a bug in __getblk_slow that causes mount to hang as it
      loops infinitely waiting for a buffer that lies beyond the end of the
      disk to become uptodate.
      
      The problem was initially reported by Torsten Hilbrich here:
      
          https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/6/18/54
      
      and also reported independently here:
      
          http://www.sysresccd.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=4511
      
      and then Richard W.M.  Jones and Marcos Mello noted a few separate
      bugzillas also associated with the same issue.  This patch has been
      confirmed to fix:
      
          https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=835019
      
      The main problem is here, in __getblk_slow:
      
              for (;;) {
                      struct buffer_head * bh;
                      int ret;
      
                      bh = __find_get_block(bdev, block, size);
                      if (bh)
                              return bh;
      
                      ret = grow_buffers(bdev, block, size);
                      if (ret < 0)
                              return NULL;
                      if (ret == 0)
                              free_more_memory();
              }
      
      __find_get_block does not find the block, since it will not be marked as
      mapped, and so grow_buffers is called to fill in the buffers for the
      associated page.  I believe the for (;;) loop is there primarily to
      retry in the case of memory pressure keeping grow_buffers from
      succeeding.  However, we also continue to loop for other cases, like the
      block lying beond the end of the disk.  So, the fix I came up with is to
      only loop when grow_buffers fails due to memory allocation issues
      (return value of 0).
      
      The attached patch was tested by myself, Torsten, and Rich, and was
      found to resolve the problem in call cases.

      memblock: free allocated memblock_reserved_regions later · 29f67386
      Yinghai Lu authored
      memblock_free_reserved_regions() calls memblock_free(), but
      memblock_free() would double reserved.regions too, so we could free the
      old range for reserved.regions.
      
      Also tj said there is another bug which could be related to this.
      
      | I don't think we're saving any noticeable
      | amount by doing this "free - give it to page allocator - reserve
      | again" dancing.  We should just allocate regions aligned to page
      | boundaries and free them later when memblock is no longer in use.
      
      in that case, when DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, will get panic:
      
           memblock_free: [0x0000102febc080-0x0000102febf080] memblock_free_reserved_regions+0x37/0x39

      See the discussion at https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/6/13/469
      
      So try to allocate with PAGE_SIZE alignment and free it later.

      mm: sparse: fix usemap allocation above node descriptor section · 99ab7b19
      Yinghai Lu authored
      After commit f5bf18fa ("bootmem/sparsemem: remove limit constraint
      in alloc_bootmem_section"), usemap allocations may easily be placed
      outside the optimal section that holds the node descriptor, even if
      there is space available in that section.  This results in unnecessary
      hotplug dependencies that need to have the node unplugged before the
      section holding the usemap.
      
      The reason is that the bootmem allocator doesn't guarantee a linear
      search starting from the passed allocation goal but may start out at a
      much higher address absent an upper limit.
      
      Fix this by trying the allocation with the limit at the section end,
      then retry without if that fails.  This keeps the fix from f5bf18fa
      of not panicking if the allocation does not fit in the section, but
      still makes sure to try to stay within the section at first.

      mm: sparse: fix section usemap placement calculation · 07b4e2bc
      Yinghai Lu authored
      Commit 238305bb ("mm: remove sparsemem allocation details from the
      bootmem allocator") introduced a bug in the allocation goal calculation
      that put section usemaps not in the same section as the node
      descriptors, creating unnecessary hotplug dependencies between them:
      
        node 0 must be removed before remove section 16399
        node 1 must be removed before remove section 16399
        node 2 must be removed before remove section 16399
        node 3 must be removed before remove section 16399
        node 4 must be removed before remove section 16399
        node 5 must be removed before remove section 16399
        node 6 must be removed before remove section 16399
      
      The reason is that it applies PAGE_SECTION_MASK to the physical address
      of the node descriptor when finding a suitable place to put the usemap,
      when this mask is actually intended to be used with PFNs.  Because the
      PFN mask is wider, the target address will point beyond the wanted
      section holding the node descriptor and the node must be offlined before
      the section holding the usemap can go.
      
      Fix this by extending the mask to address width before use.

      shmem: cleanup shmem_add_to_page_cache · b065b432
      Hugh Dickins authored
      shmem_add_to_page_cache() has three callsites, but only one of them wants
      the radix_tree_preload() (an exceptional entry guarantees that the radix
      tree node is present in the other cases), and only that site can achieve
      mem_cgroup_uncharge_cache_page() (PageSwapCache makes it a no-op in the
      other cases).  We did it this way originally to reflect
      add_to_page_cache_locked(); but it's confusing now, so move the radix_tree
      preloading and mem_cgroup uncharging to that one caller.

      shmem: fix negative rss in memcg memory.stat · d1899228
      Hugh Dickins authored
      When adding the page_private checks before calling shmem_replace_page(), I
      did realize that there is a further race, but thought it too unlikely to
      need a hurried fix.
      
      But independently I've been chasing why a mem cgroup's memory.stat
      sometimes shows negative rss after all tasks have gone: I expected it to
      be a stats gathering bug, but actually it's shmem swapping's fault.
      
      It's an old surprise, that when you lock_page(lookup_swap_cache(swap)),
      the page may have been removed from swapcache before getting the lock; or
      it may have been freed and reused and be back in swapcache; and it can
      even be using the same swap location as before (page_private same).
      
      The swapoff case is already secure against this (swap cannot be reused
      until the whole area has been swapped off, and a new swapped on); and
      shmem_getpage_gfp() is protected by shmem_add_to_page_cache()'s check for
      the expected radix_tree entry - but a little too late.
      
      By that time, we might have already decided to shmem_replace_page(): I
      don't know of a problem from that, but I'd feel more at ease not to do so
      spuriously.  And we have already done mem_cgroup_cache_charge(), on
      perhaps the wrong mem cgroup: and this charge is not then undone on the
      error path, because PageSwapCache ends up preventing that.
      
      It's this last case which causes the occasional negative rss in
      memory.stat: the page is charged here as cache, but (sometimes) found to
      be anon when eventually it's uncharged - and in between, it's an
      undeserved charge on the wrong memcg.
      
      Fix this by adding an earlier check on the radix_tree entry: it's
      inelegant to descend the tree twice, but swapping is not the fast path,
      and a better solution would need a pair (try+commit) of memcg calls, and a
      rework of shmem_replace_page() to keep out of the swapcache.
      
      We can use the added shmem_confirm_swap() function to replace the
      find_get_page+page_cache_release we were already doing on the error path.
      And add a comment on that -EEXIST: it seems a peculiar errno to be using,
      but originates from its use in radix_tree_insert().
      
      [It can be surprising to see positive rss left in a memcg's memory.stat
      after all tasks have gone, since it is supposed to count anonymous but not
      shmem.  Aside from sharing anon pages via fork with a task in some other
      memcg, it often happens after swapping: because a swap page can't be freed
      while under writeback, nor while locked.  So it's not an error, and these
      residual pages are easily freed once pressure demands.]

      tmpfs: revert SEEK_DATA and SEEK_HOLE · f21f8062
      Hugh Dickins authored
      Revert 4fb5ef08 ("tmpfs: support SEEK_DATA and SEEK_HOLE").  I believe
      it's correct, and it's been nice to have from rc1 to rc6; but as the
      original commit said:
      
      I don't know who actually uses SEEK_DATA or SEEK_HOLE, and whether it
      would be of any use to them on tmpfs.  This code adds 92 lines and 752
      bytes on x86_64 - is that bloat or worthwhile?
      
      Nobody asked for it, so I conclude that it's bloat: let's revert tmpfs to
      the dumb generic support for v3.5.  We can always reinstate it later if
      useful, and anyone needing it in a hurry can just get it out of git.
