Commit 92923ca3 ("mm: meminit: only set page reserved in the memblock region") broke memory hotplug which expects the memmap for newly added sections to be reserved until onlined by online_pages_range(). This patch marks hotplugged pages as reserved when adding new zones. Signed-off-by:

When using a large volume, for example 9T volume with 2T already used, frequent creation of small files with O_DIRECT when the IO is not cluster aligned may clear sectors in the wrong place. This will cause filesystem corruption. This is because p_cpos is a u32. When calculating the corresponding sector it should be converted to u64 first, otherwise it may overflow. Signed-off-by:

The s-Par visornic driver, currently in staging, processes a queue being serviced by the an s-Par service partition. We can get a message that something has happened with the Service Partition, when that happens, we must not access the channel until we get a message that the service partition is back again. The visornic driver has a thread for processing the channel, when we get the message, we need to be able to park the thread and then resume it when the problem clears. We can do this with kthread_park and unpark but they are not exported from the kernel, this patch exports the needed functions. Signed-off-by:

fsnotify_clear_marks_by_group_flags() can race with fsnotify_destroy_marks() so that when fsnotify_destroy_mark_locked() drops mark_mutex, a mark from the list iterated by fsnotify_clear_marks_by_group_flags() can be freed and thus the next entry pointer we have cached may become stale and we dereference free memory. Fix the problem by first moving marks to free to a special private list and then always free the first entry in the special list. This method is safe even when entries from the list can disappear once we drop the lock. Signed-off-by:

This function may copy the si_addr_lsb field to user mode when it hasn't been initialized, which can leak kernel stack data to user mode.

This function can leak kernel stack data when the user siginfo_t has a positive si_code value. The top 16 bits of si_code descibe which fields in the siginfo_t union are active, but they are treated inconsistently between copy_siginfo_from_user32, copy_siginfo_to_user32 and copy_siginfo_to_user. copy_siginfo_from_user32 is called from rt_sigqueueinfo and rt_tgsigqueueinfo in which the user has full control overthe top 16 bits of si_code. This fixes the following information leaks: x86: 8 bytes leaked when sending a signal from a 32-bit process to itself. This leak grows to 16 bytes if the process uses x32. (si_code = __SI_CHLD) x86: 100 bytes leaked when sending a signal from a 32-bit process to a 64-bit process. (si_code = -1) sparc: 4 bytes leaked when sending a signal from a 32-bit process to a 64-bit process. (si_code = any) parsic and s390 have similar bugs, but they are not vulnerable because rt_[tg]sigqueueinfo have checks that prevent sending a positive si_code to a different process. These bugs are also fixed for consistency. Signed-off-by: -

The "BUG_ON(list_empty(&osb->blocked_lock_list))" in ocfs2_downconvert_thread_do_work can be triggered in the following case: ocfs2dc has firstly saved osb->blocked_lock_count to local varibale processed, and then processes the dentry lockres. During the dentry put, it calls iput and then deletes rw, inode and open lockres from blocked list in ocfs2_mark_lockres_freeing. And this causes the variable `processed' to not reflect the number of blocked lockres to be processed, which triggers the BUG. Signed-off-by:

Dave Hansen reported the following; My laptop has been behaving strangely with 4.2-rc2. Once I log in to my X session, I start getting all kinds of strange errors from applications and see this in my dmesg: VFS: file-max limit 8192 reached The problem is that the file-max is calculated before memory is fully initialised and miscalculates how much memory the kernel is using. This patch recalculates file-max after deferred memory initialisation. Note that using memory hotplug infrastructure would not have avoided this problem as the value is not recalculated after memory hot-add. 4.1: files_stat.max_files = 6582781 4.2-rc2: files_stat.max_files = 8192 4.2-rc2 patched: files_stat.max_files = 6562467 Small differences with the patch applied and 4.1 but not enough to matter.

early_pfn_to_nid() historically was inherently not SMP safe but only used during boot which is inherently single threaded or during hotplug which is protected by a giant mutex. With deferred memory initialisation there was a thread-safe version introduced and the early_pfn_to_nid would trigger a BUG_ON if used unsafely. Memory hotplug hit that check. This patch makes early_pfn_to_nid introduces a lock to make it safe to use during hotplug. Signed-off-by:

A while back, the message queue implementation in the kernel was improved to use btrees to speed up retrieval of messages, in commit d6629859 ("ipc/mqueue: improve performance of send/recv"). That patch introducing the improved kernel handling of message queues (using btrees) has, as a by-product, changed the meaning of the QSIZE field in the pseudo-file created for the queue. Before, this field reflected the size of the user-data in the queue. Since, it also takes kernel data structures into account. For example, if 13 bytes of user data are in the queue, on my machine the file reports a size of 61 bytes. There was some discussion on this topic before (for example https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/10/1/115). Commenting on a th lkml, Michael Kerrisk gave the following background (https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/6/16/74): The pseudofiles in the mqueue filesystem (usually mounted at /dev/mqueue) expose fields with metadata describing a message queue. One of these fields, QSIZE, as originally implemented, showed the total number of bytes of user data in all messages in the message queue, and this feature was documented from the beginning in the mq_overview(7) page. In 3.5, some other (useful) work happened to break the user-space API in a couple of places, including the value exposed via QSIZE, which now includes a measure of kernel overhead bytes for the queue, a figure that renders QSIZE useless for its original purpose, since there's no way to deduce the number of overhead bytes consumed by the implementation. (The other user-space breakage was subsequently fixed.) This patch removes the accounting of kernel data structures in the queue. Reporting the size of these data-structures in the QSIZE field was a breaking change (see Michael's comment above). Without the QSIZE field reporting the total size of user-data in the queue, there is no way to deduce this number. It should be noted that the resource limit RLIMIT_MSGQUEUE is counted against the worst-case size of the queue (in both the old and the new implementation). Therefore, the kernel overhead accounting in QSIZE is not necessary to help the user understand the limitations RLIMIT imposes on the processes. Signed-off-by:

The heuristic was introduced by commit e62e384e ("memcg: prevent OOM with too many dirty pages") and it was applied only when may_enter_fs was specified. The code has been changed by c3b94f44 ("memcg: further prevent OOM with too many dirty pages") which has removed the __GFP_FS restriction with a reasoning that we do not get into the fs code. But this is not sufficient apparently because the fs doesn't necessarily submit pages marked PG_writeback for IO right away. ext4_bio_write_page calls io_submit_add_bh but that doesn't necessarily submit the bio. Instead it tries to map more pages into the bio and mpage_map_one_extent might trigger memcg charge which might end up waiting on a page which is marked PG_writeback but hasn't been submitted yet so we would end up waiting for something that never finishes. Fix this issue by replacing __GFP_IO by may_enter_fs check (for case 2) before we go to wait on the writeback. The page fault path, which is the only path that triggers memcg oom killer since 3.12, shouldn't require GFP_NOFS and so we shouldn't reintroduce the premature OOM killer issue which was originally addressed by the heuristic. As per David Chinner the xfs is doing similar thing since 2.6.15 already so ext4 is not the only affected filesystem. Moreover he notes: : For example: IO completion might require unwritten extent conversion : which executes filesystem transactions and GFP_NOFS allocations. The : writeback flag on the pages can not be cleared until unwritten : extent conversion completes. Hence memory reclaim cannot wait on : page writeback to complete in GFP_NOFS context because it is not : safe to do so, memcg reclaim or otherwise.

An event channel bound to a CPU that was offlined may still be linked on that CPU's queue. If this event channel is closed and reused, subsequent events will be lost because the event channel is never unlinked and thus cannot be linked onto the correct queue. When a channel is closed and the event is still linked into a queue, ensure that it is unlinked before completing. If the CPU to which the event channel bound is online, spin until the event is handled by that CPU. If that CPU is offline, it can't handle the event, so clear the event queue during the close, dropping the events. This fixes the missing interrupts (and subsequent disk stalls etc.) when offlining a CPU. Signed-off-by:

In commit 8c7b5ccb Author: Ander Conselvan de Oliveira <ander.conselvan.de.oliveira@intel.com> Date: Tue Apr 21 17:13:19 2015 +0300 drm/i915: Use atomic helpers for computing changed flags we've switched over to the atomic version to compute the crtc->encoder->connector routing from the i915 variant. That one relies upon the ->best_encoder callback, but the i915-private version relied upon intel_find_encoder. Which didn't matter except for dp mst, where the encoder depends upon the selected crtc. Fix this functional bug by implemented a correct atomic-state based encoder selector for dp mst. Note that we can't get rid of the legacy best_encoder callback since the fbdev emulation uses that still. That means it's incorrect there still, but that's been the case ever since i915 dp mst support was merged so not a regression. Best to fix that by converting fbdev over to atomic too.

With legacy helpers all the routing was already set up when calling best_encoder and so could be inspected. But with atomic it's staged, hence we need a new atomic compliant callback for drivers which need to inspect the requested state and can't just decided the best encoder statically. This is needed to fix up i915 dp mst where we need to pick the right encoder depending upon the requested CRTC for the connector. v2: Don't forget to amend the kerneldoc Cc: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu> Acked-by:

In drivers/md/md.c get_bitmap_file() uses kmalloc() for creating a mdu_bitmap_file_t called "file". 5769 file = kmalloc(sizeof(*file), GFP_NOIO); 5770 if (!file) 5771 return -ENOMEM; This structure is copied to user space at the end of the function. 5786 if (err == 0 && 5787 copy_to_user(arg, file, sizeof(*file))) 5788 err = -EFAULT But if bitmap is disabled only the first byte of "file" is initialized with zero, so it's possible to read some bytes (up to 4095) of kernel space memory from user space. This is an information leak. 5775 /* bitmap disabled, zero the first byte and copy out */ 5776 if (!mddev->bitmap_info.file) 5777 file->pathname[0] = '\0'; Signed-off-by:

raid1_end_read_request() assumes that the In_sync bits are consistent with the ->degaded count. raid1_spare_active updates the In_sync bit before the ->degraded count and so exposes an inconsistency, as does error() So extend the spinlock in raid1_spare_active() and error() to hide those inconsistencies. This should probably be part of Commit: 34cab6f4 ("md/raid1: fix test for 'was read error from last working device'.") as it addresses the same issue. It fixes the same bug and should go to -stable for same reasons. Fixes: 76073054 ("md/raid1: clean up read_balance.") Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org (v3.0+) Signed-off-by:

Ted Ts'o reports that his Lenovo T540p ThinkPad crashes at boot if attached to the docking station. This is a regression that he was able to bisect to commit 8c7b5ccb: "drm/i915: Use atomic helpers for computing changed flags:" The reason seems to be the new call to drm_atomic_helper_check_modeset() added to intel_modeset_compute_config(), which in turn calls update_connector_routing(), and somehow ends up picking a NULL crtc for the connector state, causing the subsequent drm_crtc_index() to OOPS. Daniel Vetter says that the fundamental issue seems to be confusion in the encoder selection, and this isn't the right fix, but while he chases down the proper fix, this at least avoids the NULL pointer dereference and makes Ted's docking station work again.
