      ipc,msg: drop dst nil validation in copy_msg · 5f2a2d5d
      Davidlohr Bueso authored 
      d0edd852 ("ipc: convert invalid scenarios to use WARN_ON") relaxed the
nil dst parameter check, originally being a full BUG_ON.  However, this
check seems quite unnecessary when the only purpose is for
ceckpoint/restore (MSG_COPY flag):

o The copy variable is set initially to nil, apparently as a way of
  ensuring that prepare_copy is previously called.  Which is in fact done,
  unconditionally at the beginning of do_msgrcv.

o There is no concurrency with 'copy' (stack allocated in do_msgrcv).

Furthermore, any errors in 'copy' (and thus prepare_copy/copy_msg) should
always handled by IS_ERR() family.  Therefore remove this check altogether
as it can never occur with the current users.

      panic: release stale console lock to always get the logbuf printed out · 08d78658
      Vitaly Kuznetsov authored 
      In some cases we may end up killing the CPU holding the console lock
while still having valuable data in logbuf. E.g. I'm observing the
following:

- A crash is happening on one CPU and console_unlock() is being called on
  some other.

- console_unlock() tries to print out the buffer before releasing the lock
  and on slow console it takes time.

- in the meanwhile crashing CPU does lots of printk()-s with valuable data
  (which go to the logbuf) and sends IPIs to all other CPUs.

- console_unlock() finishes printing previous chunk and enables interrupts
  before trying to print out the rest, the CPU catches the IPI and never
  releases console lock.

This is not the only possible case: in VT/fb subsystems we have many other
console_lock()/console_unlock() users.  Non-masked interrupts (or
receiving NMI in case of extreme slowness) will have the same result.
Getting the whole console buffer printed out on crash should be top
priority.

      dma-mapping: tidy up dma_parms default handling · 002edb6f
      Robin Murphy authored 
      Many DMA controllers and other devices set max_segment_size to
indicate their scatter-gather capability, but have no interest in
segment_boundary_mask. However, the existence of a dma_parms structure
precludes the use of any default value, leaving them as zeros (assuming
a properly kzalloc'ed structure). If a well-behaved IOMMU (or SWIOTLB)
then tries to respect this by ensuring a mapped segment does not cross
a zero-byte boundary, hilarity ensues.

Since zero is a nonsensical value for either parameter, treat it as an
indicator for "default", as might be expected. In the process, clean up
a bit by replacing the bare constants with slightly more meaningful
macros and removing the superfluous "else" statements.

      pidns: fix set/getpriority and ioprio_set/get in PRIO_USER mode · 8639b461
      Ben Segall authored 
      setpriority(PRIO_USER, 0, x) will change the priority of tasks outside of
the current pid namespace.  This is in contrast to both the other modes of
setpriority and the example of kill(-1).  Fix this.  getpriority and
ioprio have the same failure mode, fix them too.

Eric said:

: After some more thinking about it this patch sounds justifiable.

      kexec: use file name as the output message prefix · de90a6bc
      Minfei Huang authored 
      kexec output message misses the prefix "kexec", when Dave Young split the
kexec code.  Now, we use file name as the output message prefix.

Currently, the format of output message:
[  140.290795] SYSC_kexec_load: hello, world
[  140.291534] kexec: sanity_check_segment_list: hello, world

Ideally, the format of output message:
[   30.791503] kexec: SYSC_kexec_load, Hello, world
[   79.182752] kexec_core: sanity_check_segment_list, Hello, world

Remove the custom prefix "kexec" in output message.

      fs, seqfile: always allow oom killer · 0f930902
      Greg Thelen authored 
      Since 5cec38ac ("fs, seq_file: fallback to vmalloc instead of oom kill
processes") seq_buf_alloc() avoids calling the oom killer for PAGE_SIZE or
smaller allocations; but larger allocations can use the oom killer via
vmalloc().  Thus reads of small files can return ENOMEM, but larger files
use the oom killer to avoid ENOMEM.

The effect of this bug is that reads from /proc and other virtual
filesystems can return ENOMEM instead of the preferred behavior - oom
killing something (possibly the calling process).  I don't know of anyone
except Google who has noticed the issue.

I suspect the fix is more needed in smaller systems where there isn't any
reclaimable memory.  But these seem like the kinds of systems which
probably don't use the oom killer for production situations.

Memory overcommit requires use of the oom killer to select a victim
regardless of file size.

Enable oom killer for small seq_buf_alloc() allocations.

Fixes: 5cec38ac ("fs, seq_file: fallback to vmalloc instead of oom kill processes")
