Currently extent and index i are both being incremented causing an array out of bounds read on extent[i]. Fix this by removing the extraneous increment of extent.

Direct writes to empty inodes fail with EIO. The generic direct-io code is in part to blame (a patch has been submitted as "direct-io: allow direct writes to empty inodes"), but hfs is worse affected than the other filesystems because the fallback to buffered I/O doesn't happen. The problem is the return value of hfs_get_block() when called with !create. Change it to be more consistent with the other modules.

Inserting a new record in a btree may require splitting several of its nodes. If we hit ENOSPC halfway through, the new nodes will be left orphaned and their records will be lost. This could mean lost inodes or extents. Henceforth, check the available disk space before making any changes. This still leaves the potential problem of corruption on ENOMEM. There is no need to reserve space before deleting a catalog record, as we do for hfsplus. This difference is because hfs index nodes have fixed length keys.

hfs_brec_update_parent() may hit BUG_ON() if the first record of both a leaf node and its parent are changed, and if this forces the parent to be split. It is not possible for this to happen on a valid hfs filesystem because the index nodes have fixed length keys. For reasons I ignore, the hfs module does have support for a number of hfsplus features. A corrupt btree header may report variable length keys and trigger this BUG, so it's better to fix it.

Creating, renaming or deleting a file may hit BUG_ON() if the first record of both a leaf node and its parent are changed, and if this forces the parent to be split. This bug is triggered by xfstests generic/027, somewhat rarely; here is a more reliable reproducer: truncate -s 50M fs.iso mkfs.hfsplus fs.iso mount fs.iso /mnt i=1000 while [ $i -le 2400 ]; do touch /mnt/$i &>/dev/null ((++i)) done i=2400 while [ $i -ge 1000 ]; do mv /mnt/$i /mnt/$(perl -e "print $i x61") &>/dev/null ((--i)) done The issue is that a newly created bnode is being put twice.

Support referencing the root partition label from GPT as argument to the root= option on the kernel command line in analogy to referencing the partition uuid as root=PARTUUID=<uuid>. Specifying the partition label instead of the uuid is often much easier, e.g. in embedded environments when there is an A/B rootfs partition scheme for interruptible firmware updates (i.e. rootfsA/ rootfsB). The partition label can be queried with the blkid command. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180822060904.828E510665E@pc-niv.weinmann.comSigned-off-by:

len is guaranteed to lie in [1, PAGE_SIZE]. If scnprintf is called with a buffer size of 1, it is guaranteed to return 0. So in the extremely unlikely case of having just one byte remaining in the page, let's just call scnprintf anyway. The only difference is that this will write a '\0' to that final byte in the page, but that's an improvement: We now guarantee that after the call, buf is a properly terminated C string of length exactly the return value.

For various alignments of buf, the current expression computes 4096 ok 4095 ok 8190 8189 ... 4097 i.e., if the caller has already written two bytes into the page buffer, len is 8190 rather than 4094, because PTR_ALIGN aligns up to the next boundary. So if the printed version of the bitmap is huge, scnprintf() ends up writing beyond the page boundary. I don't think any current callers actually write anything before bitmap_print_to_pagebuf, but the API seems to be designed to allow it.

In the _zero, _fill and _copy functions, the small_const_nbits branch is redundant. If nbits is small and const, gcc knows full well that BITS_TO_LONGS(nbits) is 1, so len is also a compile-time constant (sizeof(long)), and calling memset or memcpy with a length argument of sizeof(long) makes gcc generate the expected code anyway: #include <string.h> void a(unsigned long *x) { memset(x, 0, 8); } void b(unsigned long *x) { memset(x, 0xff, 8); } void c(unsigned long *x, const unsigned long *y) { memcpy(x, y, 8); } turns into 0000000000000000 <a>: 0: 48 c7 07 00 00 00 00 movq $0x0,(%rdi) 7: c3 retq 8: 0f 1f 84 00 00 00 00 nopl 0x0(%rax,%rax,1) f: 00 0000000000000010 <b>: 10: 48 c7 07 ff ff ff ff movq $0xffffffffffffffff,(%rdi) 17: c3 retq 18: 0f 1f 84 00 00 00 00 nopl 0x0(%rax,%rax,1) 1f: 00 0000000000000020 <c>: 20: 48 8b 06 mov (%rsi),%rax 23: 48 89 07 mov %rax,(%rdi) 26: c3 retq Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180818131623.8755-4-linux@rasmusvillemoes.dkSigned-off-by: -

The static inlines in bitmap.h do not handle a compile-time constant nbits==0 correctly (they dereference the passed src or dst pointers, despite only 0 words being valid to access). I had the 0-day buildbot chew on a patch [1] that would cause build failures for such cases without complaining, suggesting that we don't have any such users currently, at least for the 70 .config/arch combinations that was built. Should any turn up, make sure they use the out-of-line versions, which do handle nbits==0 correctly. This is of course not the most efficient, but it's much less churn than teaching all the static inlines an "if (zero_const_nbits())", and since we don't have any current instances, this doesn't affect existing code at all.

Before this patch migration pmd entry (!pmd_present()) would have been treated as a bad entry (pmd_bad() returns true on migration pmd entry). The outcome was that device driver would believe that the range covered by the pmd was bad and would either SIGBUS or simply kill all the device's threads (each device driver decide how to react when the device tries to access poisonnous or invalid range of memory). This patch explicitly handle the case of migration pmd entry which are non present pmd entry and either wait for the migration to finish or report empty range (when device is just trying to pre- fill a range of virtual address and thus do not want to wait or trigger page fault).

In hmm_mirror_unregister(), mm->hmm is set to NULL and then mmu_notifier_unregister_no_release() is called. That creates a small window where mmu_notifier can call mmu_notifier_ops with mm->hmm equal to NULL. Fix this by first unregistering mmu notifier callbacks and then setting mm->hmm to NULL. Similarly in hmm_register(), set mm->hmm before registering mmu_notifier callbacks so callback functions always see mm->hmm set.

Private ZONE_DEVICE pages use a special pte entry and thus are not present. Properly handle this case in map_pte(), it is already handled in check_pte(), the map_pte() part was lost in some rebase most probably. Without this patch the slow migration path can not migrate back to any private ZONE_DEVICE memory to regular memory. This was found after stress testing migration back to system memory. This ultimatly can lead to the CPU constantly page fault looping on the special swap entry. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20181019160442.18723-3-jglisse@redhat.comSigned-off-by:

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: "The biggest change here is the updates to kprobes Back in January I posted patches to create function based events. These were the events that you suggested I make to allow developers to easily create events in code where no trace event exists. After posting those changes for review, it was suggested that we implement this instead with kprobes. The problem with kprobes is that the interface is too complex and needs to be simplified. Masami Hiramatsu posted patches in March and I've been playing with them a bit. There's been a bit of clean up in the kprobe code that was inspired by the function based event patches, and a couple of enhancements to the kprobe event interface. - If the arch supports it (we added support for x86), you can place a kprobe event at the start of a function and use $arg1, $arg2, etc to reference the arguments of a function. (Before you needed to know what register or where on the stack the argument was). - The second is a way to see array of events. For example, if you reference a mac address, you can add: echo 'p:mac ip_rcv perm_addr=+574($arg2):x8[6]' > kprobe_events And this will produce: mac: (ip_rcv+0x0/0x140) perm_addr={0x52,0x54,0x0,0xc0,0x76,0xec} Other changes include - Exporting trace_dump_stack to modules - Have the stack tracer trace the entire stack (stop trying to remove tracing itself, as we keep removing too much). - Added support for SDT in uprobes" [ SDT - "Statically Defined Tracing" are userspace markers for tracing. Let's not use random TLA's in explanations unless they are fairly well-established as generic (at least for kernel people) - Linus ] * tag 'trace-v4.20' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: (24 commits) tracing: Have stack tracer trace full stack tracing: Export trace_dump_stack to modules tracing: probeevent: Fix uninitialized used of offset in parse args tracing/kprobes: Allow kprobe-events to record module symbol tracing/kprobes: Check the probe on unloaded module correctly tracing/uprobes: Fix to return -EFAULT if copy_from_user failed tracing: probeevent: Add $argN for accessing function args x86: ptrace: Add function argument access API tracing: probeevent: Add array type support tracing: probeevent: Add symbol type tracing: probeevent: Unify fetch_insn processing common part tracing: probeevent: Append traceprobe_ for exported function tracing: probeevent: Return consumed bytes of dynamic area tracing: probeevent: Unify fetch type tables tracing: probeevent: Introduce new argument fetching code tracing: probeevent: Remove NOKPROBE_SYMBOL from print functions tracing: probeevent: Cleanup argument field definition tracing: probeevent: Cleanup print argument functions trace_uprobe: support reference counter in fd-based uprobe perf probe: Support SDT markers having reference counter (semaphore) ...
