      The hash mixing between adding the next 64 bits of name

      mm: thp: calculate the mapcount correctly for THP pages during WP faults · 6d0a07ed
      Andrea Arcangeli authored 
      This will provide fully accuracy to the mapcount calculation in the
write protect faults, so page pinning will not get broken by false
positive copy-on-writes.

total_mapcount() isn't the right calculation needed in
reuse_swap_page(), so this introduces a page_trans_huge_mapcount()
that is effectively the full accurate return value for page_mapcount()
if dealing with Transparent Hugepages, however we only use the
page_trans_huge_mapcount() during COW faults where it strictly needed,
due to its higher runtime cost.

This also provide at practical zero cost the total_mapcount
information which is needed to know if we can still relocate the page
anon_vma to the local vma. If page_trans_huge_mapcount() returns 1 we
can reuse the page no matter if it's a pte or a pmd_trans_huge
triggering the fault, but we can only relocate the page anon_vma to
the local vma->anon_vma if we're sure it's only this "vma" mapping the
whole THP physical range.

Kirill A. Shutemov discovered the problem with moving the page
anon_vma to the local vma->anon_vma in a previous version of this
patch and another problem in the way page_move_anon_rmap() was called.

Andrew Morton discovered that CONFIG_SWAP=n wouldn't build in a
previous version, because reuse_swap_page must be a macro to call
page_trans_huge_mapcount from swap.h, so this uses a macro again
instead of an inline function. With this change at least it's a less
dangerous usage than it was before, because "page" is used only once
now, while with the previous code reuse_swap_page(page++) would have
called page_mapcount on page+1 and it would have increased page twice
instead of just once.

Dean Luick noticed an uninitialized variable that could result in a
rmap inefficiency for the non-THP case in a previous version.

Mike Marciniszyn said:

: Our RDMA tests are seeing an issue with memory locking that bisects to
: commit 61f5d698 ("mm: re-enable THP")
:
: The test program registers two rather large MRs (512M) and RDMA
: writes data to a passive peer using the first and RDMA reads it back
: into the second MR and compares that data.  The sizes are chosen randomly
: between 0 and 1024 bytes.
:
: The test will get through a few (<= 4 iterations) and then gets a
: compare error.
:
: Tracing indicates the kernel logical addresses associated with the individual
: pages at registration ARE correct , the data in the "RDMA read response only"
: packets ARE correct.
:
: The "corruption" occurs when the packet crosse two pages that are not physically
: contiguous.   The second page reads back as zero in the program.
:
: It looks like the user VA at the point of the compare error no longer points to
: the same physical address as was registered.
:
: This patch totally resolves the issue!

      ksm: fix conflict between mmput and scan_get_next_rmap_item · 7496fea9
      Zhou Chengming authored 
      A concurrency issue about KSM in the function scan_get_next_rmap_item.

task A (ksmd):				|task B (the mm's task):
					|
mm = slot->mm;				|
down_read(&mm->mmap_sem);		|
					|
...					|
					|
spin_lock(&ksm_mmlist_lock);		|
					|
ksm_scan.mm_slot go to the next slot;	|
					|
spin_unlock(&ksm_mmlist_lock);		|
					|mmput() ->
					|	ksm_exit():
					|
					|spin_lock(&ksm_mmlist_lock);
					|if (mm_slot && ksm_scan.mm_slot != mm_slot) {
					|	if (!mm_slot->rmap_list) {
					|		easy_to_free = 1;
					|		...
					|
					|if (easy_to_free) {
					|	mmdrop(mm);
					|	...
					|
					|So this mm_struct may be freed in the mmput().
					|
up_read(&mm->mmap_sem);			|

As we can see above, the ksmd thread may access a mm_struct that already
been freed to the kmem_cache.  Suppose a fork will get this mm_struct from
the kmem_cache, the ksmd thread then call up_read(&mm->mmap_sem), will
cause mmap_sem.count to become -1.

As suggested by Andrea Arcangeli, unmerge_and_remove_all_rmap_items has
the same SMP race condition, so fix it too.  My prev fix in function
scan_get_next_rmap_item will introduce a different SMP race condition, so
just invert the up_read/spin_unlock order as Andrea Arcangeli said.

      ocfs2: fix posix_acl_create deadlock · c25a1e06
      Junxiao Bi authored 
      Commit 702e5bc6 ("ocfs2: use generic posix ACL infrastructure")
refactored code to use posix_acl_create.  The problem with this function
is that it is not mindful of the cluster wide inode lock making it
unsuitable for use with ocfs2 inode creation with ACLs.  For example,
when used in ocfs2_mknod, this function can cause deadlock as follows.
The parent dir inode lock is taken when calling posix_acl_create ->
get_acl -> ocfs2_iop_get_acl which takes the inode lock again.  This can
cause deadlock if there is a blocked remote lock request waiting for the
lock to be downconverted.  And same deadlock happened in ocfs2_reflink.
This fix is to revert back using ocfs2_init_acl.

      ocfs2: revert using ocfs2_acl_chmod to avoid inode cluster lock hang · 5ee0fbd5
      Junxiao Bi authored 
      Commit 743b5f14 ("ocfs2: take inode lock in ocfs2_iop_set/get_acl()")
introduced this issue.  ocfs2_setattr called by chmod command holds
cluster wide inode lock when calling posix_acl_chmod.  This latter
function in turn calls ocfs2_iop_get_acl and ocfs2_iop_set_acl.  These
two are also called directly from vfs layer for getfacl/setfacl commands
and therefore acquire the cluster wide inode lock.  If a remote
conversion request comes after the first inode lock in ocfs2_setattr,
OCFS2_LOCK_BLOCKED will be set.  And this will cause the second call to
inode lock from the ocfs2_iop_get_acl() to block indefinetly.

The deleted version of ocfs2_acl_chmod() calls __posix_acl_chmod() which
does not call back into the filesystem.  Therefore, we restore
ocfs2_acl_chmod(), modify it slightly for locking as needed, and use that
instead.
