Sasha Levin reports: "gcc5 changes the default standard to c11, which makes kernel build unhappy Explicitly define the kernel standard to be gnu89 which should keep everything working exactly like it was before gcc5" There are multiple small issues with the new default, but the biggest issue seems to be that the old - and very useful - GNU extension to allow a cast in front of an initializer has gone away. Patch updated by Kirill: "I'm pretty sure all gcc versions you can build kernel with supports -std=gnu89. cc-option is redunrant. We also need to adjust HOSTCFLAGS otherwise allmodconfig fails for me" Note by Andrew Pinski: "Yes it was reported and both problems relating to this extension has been added to gnu99 and gnu11. Though there are other issues with the kernel dealing with extern inline have different semantics between gnu89 and gnu99/11" End result: we may be able to move up to a newer stdc model eventually, but right now the newer models have some annoying deficiencies, so the traditional "gnu89" model ends up being the preferred one.

Pull ACPI and power management fixes from Rafael Wysocki: "These are three regression fixes, two recent (generic power domains, suspend-to-idle) and one older (cpufreq), an ACPI blacklist entry for one more machine having problems with Windows 8 compatibility, a minor cpufreq driver fix (cpufreq-dt) and a fixup for new callback definitions (generic power domains). Specifics: - Fix a crash in the suspend-to-idle code path introduced by a recent commit that forgot to check a pointer against NULL before dereferencing it (Dmitry Eremin-Solenikov). - Fix a boot crash on Exynos5 introduced by a recent commit making that platform use generic Device Tree bindings for power domains which exposed a weakness in the generic power domains framework leading to that crash (Ulf Hansson). - Fix a crash during system resume on systems where cpufreq depends on Operation Performance Points (OPP) for functionality, but CONFIG_OPP is not set. This leads the cpufreq driver registration to fail, but the resume code attempts to restore the pre-suspend cpufreq configuration (which does not exist) nevertheless and crashes. From Geert Uytterhoeven. - Add a new ACPI blacklist entry for Dell Vostro 3546 that has problems if it is reported as Windows 8 compatible to the BIOS (Adam Lee). - Fix swapped arguments in an error message in the cpufreq-dt driver (Abhilash Kesavan). - Fix up the prototypes of new callbacks in struct generic_pm_domain to make them more useful.

Found by the UC-KLEE tool: A user could supply less input to firewire-cdev ioctls than write- or write/read-type ioctl handlers expect. The handlers used data from uninitialized kernel stack then. This could partially leak back to the user if the kernel subsequently generated fw_cdev_event_'s (to be read from the firewire-cdev fd) which notably would contain the _u64 closure field which many of the ioctl argument structures contain. The fact that the handlers would act on random garbage input is a lesser issue since all handlers must check their input anyway. The fix simply always null-initializes the entire ioctl argument buffer regardless of the actual length of expected user input. That is, a runtime overhead of memset(..., 40) is added to each firewirew-cdev ioctl() call. [Comment from Clemens Ladisch: This part of the stack is most likely to be already in the cache.] Remarks: - There was never any leak from kernel stack to the ioctl output buffer itself. IOW, it was not possible to read kernel stack by a read-type or write/read-type ioctl alone; the leak could at most happen in combination with read()ing subsequent event data. - The actual expected minimum user input of each ioctl from include/uapi/linux/firewire-cdev.h is, in bytes: [0x00] = 32, [0x05] = 4, [0x0a] = 16, [0x0f] = 20, [0x14] = 16, [0x01] = 36, [0x06] = 20, [0x0b] = 4, [0x10] = 20, [0x15] = 20, [0x02] = 20, [0x07] = 4, [0x0c] = 0, [0x11] = 0, [0x16] = 8, [0x03] = 4, [0x08] = 24, [0x0d] = 20, [0x12] = 36, [0x17] = 12, [0x04] = 20, [0x09] = 24, [0x0e] = 4, [0x13] = 40, [0x18] = 4.

Here a sysfs knob is provided to alter the behaviour of crc_enabled. Writing 0 or 1 to it sets the variable to 0 or 1. Reading it will show the crc_enabled variable (0 or 1).

Sometimes on Dell Latitude laptops psmouse/alps driver receive invalid ALPS protocol V3 packets with bit7 set in last byte. More often it can be reproduced on Dell Latitude E6440 or E7440 with closed lid and pushing cover above touchpad. If bit7 in last packet byte is set then it is not valid ALPS packet. I was told that ALPS devices never send these packets. It is not know yet who send those packets, it could be Dell EC, bug in BIOS and also bug in touchpad firmware... With this patch alps driver does not process those invalid packets, but instead of reporting PSMOUSE_BAD_DATA, getting into out of sync state, getting back in sync with the next byte and spam dmesg we return PSMOUSE_FULL_PACKET. If driver is truly out of sync we'll fail the checks on the next byte and report PSMOUSE_BAD_DATA then.

In free_area_init_core(), zone->managed_pages is set to an approximate value for lowmem, and will be adjusted when the bootmem allocator frees pages into the buddy system. But free_area_init_core() is also called by hotadd_new_pgdat() when hot-adding memory. As a result, zone->managed_pages of the newly added node's pgdat is set to an approximate value in the very beginning. Even if the memory on that node has node been onlined, /sys/device/system/node/nodeXXX/meminfo has wrong value: hot-add node2 (memory not onlined) cat /sys/device/system/node/node2/meminfo Node 2 MemTotal: 33554432 kB Node 2 MemFree: 0 kB Node 2 MemUsed: 33554432 kB Node 2 Active: 0 kB This patch fixes this problem by reset node managed pages to 0 after hot-adding a new node. 1.

One thing I did in this patch is fixing freepage accounting. If we clear guard page and link it onto isolate buddy list, we should not increase freepage count. This patch adds conditional branch to skip counting in this case. Without this patch, this overcounting happens frequently if guard order is set and CMA is used. Another thing fixed in this patch is the target to reset order. In __free_one_page(), we check the buddy page whether it is a guard page or not. And, if so, we should clear guard attribute on the buddy page and reset order of it to 0. But, current code resets original page's order rather than buddy one's. Maybe, this doesn't have any problem, because whole merged page's order will be re-assigned soon. But, it is better to correct code.

fsnotify() needs to merge inode and mount marks lists when notifying groups about events so that ignore masks from inode marks are reflected in mount mark notifications and groups are notified in proper order (according to priorities). Currently the sorting of the lists done by fsnotify_add_inode_mark() / fsnotify_add_vfsmount_mark() and fsnotify() differed which resulted ignore masks not being used in some cases. Fix the problem by always using the same comparison function when sorting / merging the mark lists. Thanks to Heinrich Schuchardt for improvements of my patch.

Several people have reported occasionally seeing processes stuck in compact_zone(), even triggering soft lockups, in 3.18-rc2+. Testing a revert of commit e14c720e ("mm, compaction: remember position within pageblock in free pages scanner") fixed the issue, although the stuck processes do not appear to involve the free scanner. Finally, by code inspection, the bug was found in isolate_migratepages() which uses a slightly different condition to detect if the migration and free scanners have met, than compact_finished(). That has not been a problem until commit e14c720e allowed the free scanner position between individual invocations to be in the middle of a pageblock. In a relatively rare case, the migration scanner position can end up at the beginning of a pageblock, with the free scanner position in the middle of the same pageblock. If it's the migration scanner's turn, isolate_migratepages() exits immediately (without updating the position), while compact_finished() decides to continue compaction, resulting in a potentially infinite loop. The system can recover only if another process creates enough high-order pages to make the watermark checks in compact_finished() pass. This patch fixes the immediate problem by bumping the migration scanner's position to meet the free scanner in isolate_migratepages(), when both are within the same pageblock. This causes compact_finished() to terminate properly. A more robust check in compact_finished() is planned as a cleanup for better future maintainability.

Having test_pages_isolated failure message as a warning confuses users into thinking that it is more serious than it really is. In reality, if called via CMA, allocation will be retried so a single test_pages_isolated failure does not prevent allocation from succeeding.

Unlike SLUB, sometimes, object isn't started at the beginning of the slab in SLAB. This causes the unalignment problem after slab merging is supported by commit 12220dea ("mm/slab: support slab merge"). Following is the report from Markos that fail to boot on Malta with EVA.

However, in x86, kmalloc-256 is luckily aligned in 256 bytes, so the problem didn't happen on it. To fix this problem, this patch introduces alignment mismatch check in find_mergeable(). This will fix the problem.

Current pageblock isolation logic could isolate each pageblock individually. This causes freepage accounting problem if freepage with pageblock order on isolate pageblock is merged with other freepage on normal pageblock. We can prevent merging by restricting max order of merging to pageblock order if freepage is on isolate pageblock. A side-effect of this change is that there could be non-merged buddy freepage even if finishing pageblock isolation, because undoing pageblock isolation is just to move freepage from isolate buddy list to normal buddy list rather than to consider merging. So, the patch also makes undoing pageblock isolation consider freepage merge. When un-isolation, freepage with more than pageblock order and it's buddy are checked. If they are on normal pageblock, instead of just moving, we isolate the freepage and free it in order to get merged.

All the caller of __free_one_page() has similar freepage counting logic, so we can move it to __free_one_page(). This reduce line of code and help future maintenance. This is also preparation step for "mm/page_alloc: restrict max order of merging on isolated pageblock" which fix the freepage counting problem on freepage with more than pageblock order.

In free_pcppages_bulk(), we use cached migratetype of freepage to determine type of buddy list where freepage will be added. This information is stored when freepage is added to pcp list, so if isolation of pageblock of this freepage begins after storing, this cached information could be stale. In other words, it has original migratetype rather than MIGRATE_ISOLATE. There are two problems caused by this stale information. One is that we can't keep these freepages from being allocated. Although this pageblock is isolated, freepage will be added to normal buddy list so that it could be allocated without any restriction. And the other problem is incorrect freepage accounting. Freepages on isolate pageblock should not be counted for number of freepage. Following is the code snippet in free_pcppages_bulk(). /* MIGRATE_MOVABLE list may include MIGRATE_RESERVEs */ __free_one_page(page, page_to_pfn(page), zone, 0, mt); trace_mm_page_pcpu_drain(page, 0, mt); if (likely(!is_migrate_isolate_page(page))) { __mod_zone_page_state(zone, NR_FREE_PAGES, 1); if (is_migrate_cma(mt)) __mod_zone_page_state(zone, NR_FREE_CMA_PAGES, 1); } As you can see above snippet, current code already handle second problem, incorrect freepage accounting, by re-fetching pageblock migratetype through is_migrate_isolate_page(page). But, because this re-fetched information isn't used for __free_one_page(), first problem would not be solved. This patch try to solve this situation to re-fetch pageblock migratetype before __free_one_page() and to use it for __free_one_page(). In addition to move up position of this re-fetch, this patch use optimization technique, re-fetching migratetype only if there is isolate pageblock. Pageblock isolation is rare event, so we can avoid re-fetching in common case with this optimization. This patch also correct migratetype of the tracepoint output.

Before describing bugs itself, I first explain definition of freepage. 1. pages on buddy list are counted as freepage. 2. pages on isolate migratetype buddy list are *not* counted as freepage. 3. pages on cma buddy list are counted as CMA freepage, too. Now, I describe problems and related patch. Patch 1: There is race conditions on getting pageblock migratetype that it results in misplacement of freepages on buddy list, incorrect freepage count and un-availability of freepage. Patch 2: Freepages on pcp list could have stale cached information to determine migratetype of buddy list to go. This causes misplacement of freepages on buddy list and incorrect freepage count. Patch 4: Merging between freepages on different migratetype of pageblocks will cause freepages accouting problem. This patch fixes it. Without patchset [3], above problem doesn't happens on my CMA allocation test, because CMA reserved pages aren't used at all. So there is no chance for above race. With patchset [3], I did simple CMA allocation test and get below result: - Virtual machine, 4 cpus, 1024 MB memory, 256 MB CMA reservation - run kernel build (make -j16) on background - 30 times CMA allocation(8MB * 30 = 240MB) attempts in 5 sec interval - Result: more than 5000 freepage count are missed With patchset [3] and this patchset, I found that no freepage count are missed so that I conclude that problems are solved. On my simple memory offlining test, these problems also occur on that environment, too. This patch (of 4): There are two paths to reach core free function of buddy allocator, __free_one_page(), one is free_one_page()->__free_one_page() and the other is free_hot_cold_page()->free_pcppages_bulk()->__free_one_page(). Each paths has race condition causing serious problems. At first, this patch is focused on first type of freepath. And then, following patch will solve the problem in second type of freepath. In the first type of freepath, we got migratetype of freeing page without holding the zone lock, so it could be racy. There are two cases of this race. 1. pages are added to isolate buddy list after restoring orignal migratetype CPU1 CPU2 get migratetype => return MIGRATE_ISOLATE call free_one_page() with MIGRATE_ISOLATE grab the zone lock unisolate pageblock release the zone lock grab the zone lock call __free_one_page() with MIGRATE_ISOLATE freepage go into isolate buddy list, although pageblock is already unisolated This may cause two problems. One is that we can't use this page anymore until next isolation attempt of this pageblock, because freepage is on isolate buddy list. The other is that freepage accouting could be wrong due to merging between different buddy list. Freepages on isolate buddy list aren't counted as freepage, but ones on normal buddy list are counted as freepage. If merge happens, buddy freepage on normal buddy list is inevitably moved to isolate buddy list without any consideration of freepage accouting so it could be incorrect. 2. pages are added to normal buddy list while pageblock is isolated. It is similar with above case. This also may cause two problems. One is that we can't keep these freepages from being allocated. Although this pageblock is isolated, freepage would be added to normal buddy list so that it could be allocated without any restriction. And the other problem is same as case 1, that it, incorrect freepage accouting. This race condition would be prevented by checking migratetype again with holding the zone lock. Because it is somewhat heavy operation and it isn't needed in common case, we want to avoid rechecking as much as possible. So this patch introduce new variable, nr_isolate_pageblock in struct zone to check if there is isolated pageblock. With this, we can avoid to re-check migratetype in common case and do it only if there is isolated pageblock or migratetype is MIGRATE_ISOLATE. This solve above mentioned problems. Changes from v3: Add one more check in free_one_page() that checks whether migratetype is MIGRATE_ISOLATE or not. Without this, abovementioned case 1 could happens.

Commit 7d49d886 ("mm, compaction: reduce zone checking frequency in the migration scanner") has a side-effect that changes the iteration range calculation. Before the change, block_end_pfn is calculated using start_pfn, but now it blindly adds pageblock_nr_pages to the previous value. This causes the problem that isolation_start_pfn is larger than block_end_pfn when we isolate the page with more than pageblock order. In this case, isolation would fail due to an invalid range parameter. To prevent this, this patch implements skipping the range until a proper target pageblock is met. Without this patch, CMA with more than pageblock order always fails but with this patch it will succeed.

zram could kunmap_atomic() a NULL pointer in a rare situation: a zram page becomes a full-zeroed page after a partial write io.

Currently, we only match against local port number in order to reuse socket. But if this new vxlan wants an IPv6 socket and a IPv4 one bound to that port, vxlan will reuse an IPv4 socket as IPv6 and a panic will follow.

With commit be9dad1f ("net: phy: suspend phydev when going to HALTED"), the PHY device will be put in a low-power mode using BMCR_PDOWN if the the interface is set down. The smsc911x driver does a software_reset opening the device driver (ndo_open). In such case, the PHY must be powered-up before access to any register and before calling the software_reset function. Otherwise, as the PHY is powered down the software reset fails and the interface can not be enabled again. This patch fixes this scenario that is easy to reproduce setting down the network interface and setting up again. $ ifconfig eth0 down $ ifconfig eth0 up ifconfig: SIOCSIFFLAGS: Input/output error Signed-off-by: Enric Balletbo i Serra <eballetbo@iseebcn.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
