If the bootloader uses the long descriptor format and jumps to kernel decompressor code, TTBCR may not be in a right state. Before enabling the MMU, it is required to clear the TTBCR.PD0 field to use TTBR0 for translation table walks. The commit dbece458 ("ARM: 7501/1: decompressor: reset ttbcr for VMSA ARMv7 cores") does the reset of TTBCR.N, but doesn't consider all the bits for the size of TTBCR.N. Clear TTBCR.PD0 field and reset all the three bits of TTBCR.N to indicate the use of TTBR0 and the correct base address width.

When discovering the number of VPEs per core, smp_num_siblings will be incorrect for kernels built without support for the MIPS MultiThreading (MT) ASE running on systems which implement said ASE. This leads to accesses to VPEs in secondary cores being performed incorrectly since mips_cm_vp_id calculates the wrong ID to write to the local "other" registers. Fix this by examining the number of VPEs in the core as reported by the CM. This patch presumes that the number of VPEs will be the same in each core of the system. As this path only applies to systems with CM version 2.5 or lower, and this property is true of all such known systems, this is likely to be fine but is described in a comment for good measure.

The capability check should not be audited since it is only being used to determine the inode permissions. A failed check does not indicate a violation of security policy but, when an LSM is enabled, a denial audit message was being generated. The denial audit message caused confusion for some application authors because root-running Go applications always triggered the denial. To prevent this confusion, the capability check in net_ctl_permissions() is switched to the noaudit variant.

The testcase "mmaptruncate" of ocfs2-test deadlocks occasionally. In this testcase, we create a 2*CLUSTER_SIZE file and mmap() on it; there are 2 process repeatedly performing the following operations respectively: one is doing memset(mmaped_addr + 2*CLUSTER_SIZE - 1, 'a', 1), while the another is playing ftruncate(fd, 2*CLUSTER_SIZE) and then ftruncate(fd, CLUSTER_SIZE) again and again. This is the backtrace when the deadlock happens: __wait_on_bit_lock+0x50/0xa0 __lock_page+0xb7/0xc0 ocfs2_write_begin_nolock+0x163f/0x1790 [ocfs2] ocfs2_page_mkwrite+0x1c7/0x2a0 [ocfs2] do_page_mkwrite+0x66/0xc0 handle_mm_fault+0x685/0x1350 __do_page_fault+0x1d8/0x4d0 trace_do_page_fault+0x37/0xf0 do_async_page_fault+0x19/0x70 async_page_fault+0x28/0x30 In ocfs2_write_begin_nolock(), we first grab the pages and then allocate disk space for this write; ocfs2_try_to_free_truncate_log() will be called if -ENOSPC is returned; if we're lucky to get enough clusters, which is usually the case, we start over again. But in ocfs2_free_write_ctxt() the target page isn't unlocked, so we will deadlock when trying to grab the target page again. Also, -ENOMEM might be returned in ocfs2_grab_pages_for_write(). Another deadlock will happen in __do_page_mkwrite() if ocfs2_page_mkwrite() returns non-VM_FAULT_LOCKED, and along with a locked target page. These two errors fail on the same path, so fix them by unlocking the target page manually before ocfs2_free_write_ctxt(). Jan Kara helps me clear out the JBD2 part, and suggest the hint for root cause. Changes since v1: 1. Also put ENOMEM error case into consideration.

Antonio reports the following crash when using fuse under memory pressure: kernel BUG at /build/linux-a2WvEb/linux-4.4.0/mm/workingset.c:346! invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP Modules linked in: all of them CPU: 2 PID: 63 Comm: kswapd0 Not tainted 4.4.0-36-generic #55-Ubuntu Hardware name: System manufacturer System Product Name/P8H67-M PRO, BIOS 3904 04/27/2013 task: ffff88040cae6040 ti: ffff880407488000 task.ti: ffff880407488000 RIP: shadow_lru_isolate+0x181/0x190 Call Trace: __list_lru_walk_one.isra.3+0x8f/0x130 list_lru_walk_one+0x23/0x30 scan_shadow_nodes+0x34/0x50 shrink_slab.part.40+0x1ed/0x3d0 shrink_zone+0x2ca/0x2e0 kswapd+0x51e/0x990 kthread+0xd8/0xf0 ret_from_fork+0x3f/0x70 which corresponds to the following sanity check in the shadow node tracking: BUG_ON(node->count & RADIX_TREE_COUNT_MASK); The workingset code tracks radix tree nodes that exclusively contain shadow entries of evicted pages in them, and this (somewhat obscure) line checks whether there are real pages left that would interfere with reclaim of the radix tree node under memory pressure. While discussing ways how fuse might sneak pages into the radix tree past the workingset code, Miklos pointed to replace_page_cache_page(), and indeed there is a problem there: it properly accounts for the old page being removed - __delete_from_page_cache() does that - but then does a raw raw radix_tree_insert(), not accounting for the replacement page. Eventually the page count bits in node->count underflow while leaving the node incorrectly linked to the shadow node LRU. To address this, make sure replace_page_cache_page() uses the tracked page insertion code, page_cache_tree_insert(). This fixes the page accounting and makes sure page-containing nodes are properly unlinked from the shadow node LRU again. Also, make the sanity checks a bit less obscure by using the helpers for checking the number of pages and shadows in a radix tree node.

However, enter_from_user_mode() will be called again in the fixed up path though it is context tracking kernel state currently.

When sctp dumps all the ep->assocs, it needs to lock_sock first, but now it locks sock in rcu_read_lock, and lock_sock may sleep, which would break rcu_read_lock. This patch is to get and hold one sock when traversing the list. After that and get out of rcu_read_lock, lock and dump it. Then it will traverse the list again to get the next one until all sctp socks are dumped. For sctp_diag_dump_one, it fixes this issue by holding asoc and moving cb() out of rcu_read_lock in sctp_transport_lookup_process.

Now before using prsctp polices, sctp uses asoc->prsctp_enable to check if prsctp is enabled. However asoc->prsctp_enable is set only means local host support prsctp, sctp should not abandon packet if peer host doesn't enable prsctp. So this patch is to use asoc->peer.prsctp_capable to check if prsctp is enabled on both side, instead of asoc->prsctp_enable, as asoc's peer.prsctp_capable is set only when local and peer both enable prsctp.

Now sctp uses chunk->prsctp_param to save the prsctp param for all the prsctp polices, we didn't need to introduce prsctp_param to sctp_chunk. We can just use chunk->sinfo.sinfo_timetolive for RTX and BUF polices, and reuse msg->expires_at for TTL policy, as the prsctp polices and old expires policy are mutual exclusive. This patch is to remove prsctp_param from sctp_chunk, and reuse msg's expires_at for TTL and chunk's sinfo.sinfo_timetolive for RTX and BUF polices. Note that sctp can't use chunk's sinfo.sinfo_timetolive for TTL policy, as it needs a u64 variables to save the expires_at time.

Jia He says: ==================== Reduce cache miss for snmp_fold_field In a PowerPc server with large cpu number(160), besides commit a3a77372 ("net: Optimize snmp stat aggregation by walking all the percpu data at once"), I watched several other snmp_fold_field callsites which would cause high cache miss rate. test source code: ================ My simple test case, which read from the procfs items endlessly: /***********************************************************/ int main(int argc, char **argv) { int i; int fd = -1 ; int rdsize = 0; char buf[LINELEN+1]; buf[LINELEN] = 0; memset(buf,0,LINELEN); if(1 >= argc) { printf("file name empty\n"); return -1; } fd = open(argv[1], O_RDWR, 0644); if(0 > fd){ printf("open error\n"); return -2; } for(i=0;i<0xffffffff;i++) { while(0 < (rdsize = read(fd,buf,LINELEN))){ //nothing here } lseek(fd, 0, SEEK_SET); } close(fd); return 0; } /**********************************************************/ compile and run: ================ gcc test.c -o test perf stat -d -e cache-misses ./test /proc/net/snmp perf stat -d -e cache-misses ./test /proc/net/snmp6 perf stat -d -e cache-misses ./test /proc/net/sctp/snmp perf stat -d -e cache-misses ./test /proc/net/xfrm_stat before the patch set: ==================== Performance counter stats for 'system wide': 355911097 cache-misses [40.08%] 2356829300 L1-dcache-loads [60.04%] 355642645 L1-dcache-load-misses # 15.09% of all L1-dcache hits [60.02%] 346544541 LLC-loads [59.97%] 389763 LLC-load-misses # 0.11% of all LL-cache hits [40.02%] 6.245162638 seconds time elapsed After the patch set: =================== Performance counter stats for 'system wide': 194992476 cache-misses [40.03%] 6718051877 L1-dcache-loads [60.07%] 194871921 L1-dcache-load-misses # 2.90% of all L1-dcache hits [60.11%] 187632232 LLC-loads [60.04%] 464466 LLC-load-misses # 0.25% of all LL-cache hits [39.89%] 6.868422769 seconds time elapsed The cache-miss rate can be reduced from 15% to 2.9% changelog ========= v6: - correct v5 v5: - order local variables from longest to shortest line v4: - move memset into one block of if statement in snmp6_seq_show_item - remove the changes in netstat_seq_show considerred the stack usage is too large v3: - introduce generic interface (suggested by Marcelo Ricardo Leitner) - use max_t instead of self defined macro (suggested by David Miller) v2: - fix bug in udplite statistics. - snmp_seq_show is split into 2 parts ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

This is to introduce the generic interfaces for snmp_get_cpu_field{,64}. It exchanges the two for-loops for collecting the percpu statistics data. This can aggregate the data by going through all the items of each cpu sequentially.

Merge tag 'rxrpc-rewrite-20160929' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs David Howells says: ==================== rxrpc: Fixes and adjustments This set of patches contains some fixes and adjustments: (1) Connections for exclusive calls are being reused because the check to work out whether to set RXRPC_CONN_DONT_REUSE is checking where the parameters will be copied to (but haven't yet). (2) Make Tx loss-injection go through the normal return, so the state gets set correctly for what the code thinks it has done. Note lost Tx packets in the tx_data trace rather than the skb tracepoint. (3) Activate channels according to the current state from within the channel_lock to avoid someone changing it on us. (4) Reduce the local endpoint's services list to a single pointer as we don't allow service AF_RXRPC sockets to share UDP ports with other AF_RXRPC sockets, so there can't be more than one element in the list. (5) Request more ACKs in slow-start mode to help monitor the state driving the window configuration. (6) Display the serial number of the packet being ACK'd rather than the ACK packet's own serial number in the congestion trace as this can be related to other entries in the trace. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.
