The kernel automatically evaluates partition tables of storage devices. The code for evaluating LDM partitions (in fs/partitions/ldm.c) contains a bug that causes a kernel oops on certain corrupted LDM partitions. A kernel subsystem seems to crash, because, after the oops, the kernel no longer recognizes newly connected storage devices. The patch changes ldm_parse_vmdb() to Validate the value of vblk_size.

should_continue_reclaim() for reclaim/compaction allows scanning to continue even if pages are not being reclaimed until the full list is scanned. In terms of allocation success, this makes sense but potentially it introduces unwanted latency for high-order allocations such as transparent hugepages and network jumbo frames that would prefer to fail the allocation attempt and fallback to order-0 pages. Worse, there is a potential that the full LRU scan will clear all the young bits, distort page aging information and potentially push pages into swap that would have otherwise remained resident. This patch will stop reclaim/compaction if no pages were reclaimed in the last SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX pages that were considered. For allocations such as hugetlbfs that use __GFP_REPEAT and have fewer fallback options, the full LRU list may still be scanned. Order-0 allocation should not be affected because RECLAIM_MODE_COMPACTION is not set so the following avoids the gfp_mask being examined: if (!(sc->reclaim_mode & RECLAIM_MODE_COMPACTION)) return false; A tool was developed based on ftrace that tracked the latency of high-order allocations while transparent hugepage support was enabled and three benchmarks were run. The "fix-infinite" figures are 2.6.38-rc4 with Johannes's patch "vmscan: fix zone shrinking exit when scan work is done" applied.

THP mean allocation latency is also reduced. That said, allocation time varies so significantly that the reductions are within noise. Max allocation time is reduced by a significant amount for low-order allocations but reduced for THP allocations which presumably are now breaking before reclaim has done enough work. SysBench Highorder Allocation Latency Statistics fix-infinite break-early 1 :: Count 15745 15677 1 :: Min 0.4250 0.4550 1 :: Mean 1.1023 1.0810 1 :: Max 14.4590 10.8220 1 :: Stddev 0.5117 0.5100 2 :: Count 1 1 2 :: Min 3.0040 2.1530 2 :: Mean 3.0040 2.1530 2 :: Max 3.0040 2.1530 2 :: Stddev 0.0000 0.0000 9 :: Count 2017 1931 9 :: Min 0.4980 0.7480 9 :: Mean 10.4717 10.3840 9 :: Max 24.9460 26.2500 9 :: Stddev 1.1726 1.1966 Again, mean time for order-1 allocations is reduced while order-2 allocations are too few to draw conclusions from. The mean time for THP allocations is also slightly reduced albeit the reductions are within varianes. Once again, our maximum allocation time is significantly reduced for low-order allocations and slightly increased for THP allocations. Anon stream mmap reference Highorder Allocation Latency Statistics 1 :: Count 1376 1790 1 :: Min 0.4940 0.5010 1 :: Mean 1.0289 0.9732 1 :: Max 6.2670 4.2540 1 :: Stddev 0.4142 0.2785 2 :: Count 1 - 2 :: Min 1.9060 - 2 :: Mean 1.9060 - 2 :: Max 1.9060 - 2 :: Stddev 0.0000 - 9 :: Count 11266 11257 9 :: Min 0.4990 0.4940 9 :: Mean 27250.4669 24256.1919 9 :: Max 11439211.0000 6008885.0000 9 :: Stddev 226427.4624 186298.1430 This benchmark creates one thread per CPU which references an amount of anonymous memory 1.5 times the size of physical RAM. This pounds swap quite heavily and is intended to exercise THP a bit. Mean allocation time for order-1 is reduced as before. It's also reduced for THP allocations but the variations here are pretty massive due to swap. As before, maximum allocation times are significantly reduced. Overall, the patch reduces the mean and maximum allocation latencies for the smaller high-order allocations. This was with Slab configured so it would be expected to be more significant with Slub which uses these size allocations more aggressively. The mean allocation times for THP allocations are also slightly reduced. The maximum latency was slightly increased as predicted by the comments due to reclaim/compaction breaking early. However, workloads care more about the latency of lower-order allocations than THP so it's an acceptable trade-off.

The regulator framework is used for power management. The regulators are only named in the driver code, the actual control stuff is in the board file for each architecture or use case. The PN544 chip has three regulators that can be controlled or not - depending on the architecture where the chip is being used. So some of the regulators may not be controllable. In our current case the third regulator, which was missing from the code, went unnoticed because we didn't need to control it. To be as general as possible - in this respect - the driver needs to list all regulators. Then the board file can be used to actually set the usage. Signed-off-by: Matti J.

In several places, an epoll fd can call another file's ->f_op->poll() method with ep->mtx held. This is in general unsafe, because that other file could itself be an epoll fd that contains the original epoll fd. The code defends against this possibility in its own ->poll() method using ep_call_nested, but there are several other unsafe calls to ->poll elsewhere that can be made to deadlock. For example, the following simple program causes the call in ep_insert recursively call the original fd's ->poll, leading to deadlock: #include <unistd.h> #include <sys/epoll.h> int main(void) { int e1, e2, p[2]; struct epoll_event evt = { .events = EPOLLIN }; e1 = epoll_create(1); e2 = epoll_create(2); pipe(p); epoll_ctl(e2, EPOLL_CTL_ADD, e1, &evt); epoll_ctl(e1, EPOLL_CTL_ADD, p[0], &evt); write(p[1], p, sizeof p); epoll_ctl(e1, EPOLL_CTL_ADD, e2, &evt); return 0; } On insertion, check whether the inserted file is itself a struct epoll, and if so, do a recursive walk to detect whether inserting this file would create a loop of epoll structures, which could lead to deadlock.

The new implementation of bd_link_disk_holder() added by 49731baa (block: restore multiple bd_link_disk_holder() support) didn't get an extra reference for the holder_dir kobject of the slave bdev; however, bdev kills holder_dir on removal, not release, so if the slave bdev is removed while there are holder links, the holder_dir will be destroyed while there still are holder links, which leads to oops later when bd_unlink_disk_order() tries to remove those links.

Adam Kovari and others reported that disconnecting an USB drive with an ntfs-3g filesystem would cause "kernel BUG at fs/inode.c:1421!" to be triggered. The BUG could be traced back to ioctl(BLKBSZSET), which would erroneously decrement the refcount on the bdev. This is because blkdev_get() expects the refcount to be already incremented and either returns success or decrements the refcount and returns an error.

Revert b821eaa5 and f3b99be1 When I wrote the first of these I had a wrong idea about the lifetime of 'struct block_device'. It can disappear at any time that the block device is not open if it falls out of the inode cache. So relying on the 'size' recorded with it to detect when the device size has changed and so we need to revalidate, is wrong. Rather, we really do need the 'changed' attribute stored directly in the mddev and set/tested as appropriate. Without this patch, a sequence of: mknod / open / close / unlink (which can cause a block_device to be created and then destroyed) will result in a rescan of the partition table and consequence removal and addition of partitions. Several of these in a row can get udev racing to create and unlink and other code can get confused. With the patch, the rescan is only performed when needed and so there are no races. This is suitable for any stable kernel from 2.6.35. Reported-by: "Wojcik, Krzysztof" <krzysztof.wojcik@intel.com> Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de> Cc: stable@kernel.org

There are two cases when we call flush_disk. In one, the device has disappeared (check_disk_change) so any data will hold becomes irrelevant. In the oter, the device has changed size (check_disk_size_change) so data we hold may be irrelevant. In both cases it makes sense to discard any 'clean' buffers, so they will be read back from the device if needed. In the former case it makes sense to discard 'dirty' buffers as there will never be anywhere safe to write the data. In the second case it *does*not* make sense to discard dirty buffers as that will lead to file system corruption when you simply enlarge the containing devices. flush_disk calls __invalidate_devices. __invalidate_device calls both invalidate_inodes and invalidate_bdev. invalidate_inodes *does* discard I_DIRTY inodes and this does lead to fs corruption. invalidate_bev *does*not* discard dirty pages, but I don't really care about that at present. So this patch adds a flag to __invalidate_device (calling it __invalidate_device2) to indicate whether dirty buffers should be killed, and this is passed to invalidate_inodes which can choose to skip dirty inodes. flusk_disk then passes true from check_disk_change and false from check_disk_size_change. dm avoids tripping over this problem by calling i_size_write directly rathher than using check_disk_size_change. md does use check_disk_size_change and so is affected. This regression was introduced by commit 608aeef1 which causes check_disk_size_change to call flush_disk, so it is suitable for any kernel since 2.6.27.

Robert Swiecki reported a BUG_ON(page_mapped) from a fuzzer, punching a hole with madvise(,, MADV_REMOVE). That path is under mutex, and cannot be explained by lack of serialization in unmap_mapping_range(). Reviewing the code, I found one place where vm_truncate_count handling should have been updated, when I switched at the last minute from one way of managing the restart_addr to another: mremap move changes the virtual addresses, so it ought to adjust the restart_addr. But rather than exporting the notion of restart_addr from memory.c, or converting to restart_pgoff throughout, simply reset vm_truncate_count to 0 to force a rescan if mremap move races with preempted truncation. We have no confirmation that this fixes Robert's BUG, but it is a fix that's worth making anyway.

Michael Leun reported that running parallel opens on a fuse filesystem can trigger a "kernel BUG at mm/truncate.c:475" Gurudas Pai reported the same bug on NFS. The reason is, unmap_mapping_range() is not prepared for more than one concurrent invocation per inode. For example: thread1: going through a big range, stops in the middle of a vma and stores the restart address in vm_truncate_count. thread2: comes in with a small (e.g. single page) unmap request on the same vma, somewhere before restart_address, finds that the vma was already unmapped up to the restart address and happily returns without doing anything. Another scenario would be two big unmap requests, both having to restart the unmapping and each one setting vm_truncate_count to its own value. This could go on forever without any of them being able to finish. Truncate and hole punching already serialize with i_mutex. Other callers of unmap_mapping_range() do not, and it's difficult to get i_mutex protection for all callers. In particular ->d_revalidate(), which calls invalidate_inode_pages2_range() in fuse, may be called with or without i_mutex. This patch adds a new mutex to 'struct address_space' to prevent running multiple concurrent unmap_mapping_range() on the same mapping. [ We'll hopefully get rid of all this with the upcoming mm preemptibility series by Peter Zijlstra, the "mm: Remove i_mmap_mutex lockbreak" patch in particular.

It looks like gen2 has a peculiar interleaved 2-row inter-tile layout. Probably inherited from i81x which had 2kb tiles (which naturally fit an even-number-of-tile-rows scheme to fit onto 4kb pages). There is no other mention of this in any docs (also not in the Intel internal documention according to Chris Wilson). Problem manifests itself in corruptions in the second half of the last tile row (if the bo has an odd number of tiles). Which can only happen with relaxed tiling (introduced in a00b10c3). So reject set_tiling calls that don't satisfy this constrain to prevent broken userspace from causing havoc. While at it, also check the size for newer chipsets.
