The idle task might have been allocated above 4GB. With the current code we cannot access that memory because the CPU is still running in narrow mode. This was found on a J5000 machine and the patch is required to enable SPARSEMEM on that machine. Signed-off-by: Sven Schnelle <svens@stackframe.org> Signed-off-by: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de>

Pull powerpc fixes from Michael Ellerman: "A one-liner to make our Radix MMU support depend on HUGETLB_PAGE. We use some of the hugetlb inlines (eg. pud_huge()) when operating on the linear mapping and if they're compiled into empty wrappers we can corrupt memory. Then two fixes to our VFIO IOMMU code. The first is not a regression but fixes the locking to avoid a user-triggerable deadlock. The second does fix a regression since rc1, and depends on the first fix. It makes it possible to run guests with large amounts of memory again (~256GB).

This way, slhc_free() accepts what slhc_init() returns, whether that is an error or not. In particular, the pattern in sl_alloc_bufs() is slcomp = slhc_init(16, 16); ... slhc_free(slcomp); for the error handling path, and rather than complicate that code, just make it ok to always free what was returned by the init function. That's what the code used to do before commit 4ab42d78 ("ppp, slip: Validate VJ compression slot parameters completely") when slhc_init() just returned NULL for the error case, with no actual indication of the details of the error.

Pull btrfs fix from David Sterba: "One patch to fix a crash in io submission path, due to memory allocation errors. In short, the multipage bio work that landed in 5.1 caused larger bios that in turn require larger temporary memory for checksums. The patch is a workaround, we're going to rework the allocation so it does not require the vmalloc fallback. It took a while to identify that it's caused by patches in 5.1 and not a patchset that did some changes in error handling in the code. I've tested it on various memory/cpu combinations, it could hit OOM but does not crash. The timestamp of the patch is less than a day due to updates in the changelog, tests were running meanwhile" * tag 'for-5.1-rc6-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kdave/linux: btrfs: Switch memory allocations in async csum calculation path to kvmalloc

Commit 0a79cdad ("mm: use alloc_flags to record if kswapd can wake") removed setting of the ALLOC_NOFRAGMENT flag. Bring it back. The runtime effect is that ALLOC_NOFRAGMENT behaviour is restored so that allocations are spread across local zones to avoid fragmentation due to mixing pageblocks as long as possible.

ac.preferred_zoneref->zone passed to alloc_flags_nofragment() can be NULL. 'zone' pointer unconditionally derefernced in alloc_flags_nofragment(). Bail out on NULL zone to avoid potential crash. Currently we don't see any crashes only because alloc_flags_nofragment() has another bug which allows compiler to optimize away all accesses to 'zone'.

Mel Gorman authored
During the development of commit 5e1f0f09 ("mm, compaction: capture a page under direct compaction"), a paranoid check was added to ensure that if a captured page was available after compaction that it was consistent with the final state of compaction. The intent was to catch serious programming bugs such as using a stale page pointer and causing corruption problems. However, it is possible to get a captured page even if compaction was unsuccessful if an interrupt triggered and happened to free pages in interrupt context that got merged into a suitable high-order page. It's highly unlikely but Li Wang did report the following warning on s390 occuring when testing OOM handling. Note that the warning is slightly edited for clarity. WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 9783 at mm/page_alloc.c:3777 __alloc_pages_direct_compact+0x182/0x190 Modules linked in: rpcsec_gss_krb5 auth_rpcgss nfsv4 dns_resolver nfs lockd grace fscache sunrpc pkey ghash_s390 prng xts aes_s390 des_s390 des_generic sha512_s390 zcrypt_cex4 zcrypt vmur binfmt_misc ip_tables xfs libcrc32c dasd_fba_mod qeth_l2 dasd_eckd_mod dasd_mod qeth qdio lcs ctcm ccwgroup fsm dm_mirror dm_region_hash dm_log dm_mod CPU: 0 PID: 9783 Comm: copy.sh Kdump: loaded Not tainted 5.1.0-rc 5 #1 This patch simply removes the check entirely instead of trying to be clever about pages freed from interrupt context. If a serious programming error was introduced, it is highly likely to be caught by prep_new_page() instead.
