      agp: info leak in agpioc_info_wrap() · 3ca9e5d3
      Dan Carpenter authored
      On 64 bit systems the agp_info struct has a 4 byte hole between
      ->agp_mode and ->aper_base.  We need to clear it to avoid disclosing
      stack information to userspace.

      Commit 842a859d ("affs: use ->kill_sb() to simplify ->put_super()
      and failure exits of ->mount()") adds .kill_sb which frees sbi but
      doesn't remove sbi free in case of parse_options error causing double

      fanotify: fix -EOVERFLOW with large files on 64-bit · 1e2ee49f
      Will Woods authored
      On 64-bit systems, O_LARGEFILE is automatically added to flags inside
      the open() syscall (also openat(), blkdev_open(), etc).  Userspace
      therefore defines O_LARGEFILE to be 0 - you can use it, but it's a
      no-op.  Everything should be O_LARGEFILE by default.
      
      But: when fanotify does create_fd() it uses dentry_open(), which skips
      all that.  And userspace can't set O_LARGEFILE in fanotify_init()
      because it's defined to 0.  So if fanotify gets an event regarding a
      large file, the read() will just fail with -EOVERFLOW.
      
      This patch adds O_LARGEFILE to fanotify_init()'s event_f_flags on 64-bit
      systems, using the same test as open()/openat()/etc.

      revert "mm: vmscan: do not swap anon pages just because free+file is low" · 62376251
      Johannes Weiner authored
      This reverts commit 0bf1457f ("mm: vmscan: do not swap anon pages
      just because free+file is low") because it introduced a regression in
      mostly-anonymous workloads, where reclaim would become ineffective and
      trap every allocating task in direct reclaim.
      
      The problem is that there is a runaway feedback loop in the scan balance
      between file and anon, where the balance tips heavily towards a tiny
      thrashing file LRU and anonymous pages are no longer being looked at.
      The commit in question removed the safe guard that would detect such
      situations and respond with forced anonymous reclaim.
      
      This commit was part of a series to fix premature swapping in loads with
      relatively little cache, and while it made a small difference, the cure
      is obviously worse than the disease.  Revert it.

      autofs: fix lockref lookup · 6b6751f7
      Ian Kent authored
      autofs needs to be able to see private data dentry flags for its dentrys
      that are being created but not yet hashed and for its dentrys that have
      been rmdir()ed but not yet freed.  It needs to do this so it can block
      processes in these states until a status has been returned to indicate
      the given operation is complete.
      
      It does this by keeping two lists, active and expring, of dentrys in
      this state and uses ->d_release() to keep them stable while it checks
      the reference count to determine if they should be used.
      
      But with the recent lockref changes dentrys being freed sometimes don't
      transition to a reference count of 0 before being freed so autofs can
      occassionally use a dentry that is invalid which can lead to a panic.

        1347                         BUG();
      
      After commit 0cd6144a ("mm + fs: prepare for non-page entries in
      page cache radix trees") this comment and BUG() are out of date because
      exceptional entries can now appear in all mappings - as shadows of
      recently evicted pages.
      
      However, as Hugh Dickins notes,
      
        "it is truly surprising for a PAGECACHE_TAG_WRITEBACK (and probably
         any other PAGECACHE_TAG_*) to appear on an exceptional entry.
      
         I expect it comes down to an occasional race in RCU lookup of the
         radix_tree: lacking absolute synchronization, we might sometimes
         catch an exceptional entry, with the tag which really belongs with
         the unexceptional entry which was there an instant before."
      
      And indeed, not only is the tree walk lockless, the tags are also read
      in chunks, one radix tree node at a time.  There is plenty of time for
      page reclaim to swoop in and replace a page that was already looked up
      as tagged with a shadow entry.
      
      Remove the BUG() and update the comment.  While reviewing all other
      lookup sites for whether they properly deal with shadow entries of
      evicted pages, update all the comments and fix memcg file charge moving
      to not miss shmem/tmpfs swapcache pages.

      mm/compaction: make isolate_freepages start at pageblock boundary · 49e068f0
      Vlastimil Babka authored
      The compaction freepage scanner implementation in isolate_freepages()
      starts by taking the current cc->free_pfn value as the first pfn.  In a
      for loop, it scans from this first pfn to the end of the pageblock, and
      then subtracts pageblock_nr_pages from the first pfn to obtain the first
      pfn for the next for loop iteration.
      
      This means that when cc->free_pfn starts at offset X rather than being
      aligned on pageblock boundary, the scanner will start at offset X in all
      scanned pageblock, ignoring potentially many free pages.  Currently this
      can happen when
      
       a) zone's end pfn is not pageblock aligned, or
      
       b) through zone->compact_cached_free_pfn with CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE
          enabled and a hole spanning the beginning of a pageblock
      
      This patch fixes the problem by aligning the initial pfn in
      isolate_freepages() to pageblock boundary.  This also permits replacing
      the end-of-pageblock alignment within the for loop with a simple
      pageblock_nr_pages increment.
