Whenever the kernel checks for rt_task() to avoid delaying real-time
tasks, we want it to also not delay LITMUS^RT tasks.  Hence, most
calls to rt_task() should be matched by an equivalent call to
is_realtime().

Notably, this affects the implementations of select() and nanosleep(),
which use timer_slack_ns when setting up timers for non-real-time
tasks.

commit 62be1511b1db8066220b18b7d4da2e6b9fdc69fb upstream.

Patch series "more robust PF_MEMALLOC handling"

This series aims to unify the setting and clearing of PF_MEMALLOC, which
prevents recursive reclaim.  There are some places that clear the flag
unconditionally from current-&gt;flags, which may result in clearing a
pre-existing flag.  This already resulted in a bug report that Patch 1
fixes (without the new helpers, to make backporting easier).  Patch 2
introduces the new helpers, modelled after existing memalloc_noio_* and
memalloc_nofs_* helpers, and converts mm core to use them.  Patches 3
and 4 convert non-mm code.

This patch (of 4):

__alloc_pages_direct_compact() sets PF_MEMALLOC to prevent deadlock
during page migration by lock_page() (see the comment in
__unmap_and_move()).  Then it unconditionally clears the flag, which can
clear a pre-existing PF_MEMALLOC flag and result in recursive reclaim.
This was not a problem until commit a8161d1ed609 ("mm, page_alloc:
restructure direct compaction handling in slowpath"), because direct
compation was called only after direct reclaim, which was skipped when
PF_MEMALLOC flag was set.

Even now it's only a theoretical issue, as the new callsite of
__alloc_pages_direct_compact() is reached only for costly orders and
when gfp_pfmemalloc_allowed() is true, which means either
__GFP_NOMEMALLOC is in gfp_flags or in_interrupt() is true.  There is no
such known context, but let's play it safe and make
__alloc_pages_direct_compact() robust for cases where PF_MEMALLOC is
already set.

commit fc280fe871449ead4bdbd1665fa52c7c01c64765 upstream.

Commit 6afcf8ef0ca0 ("mm, compaction: fix NR_ISOLATED_* stats for pfn
based migration") moved the dec_node_page_state() call (along with the
page_is_file_cache() call) to after putback_lru_page().

But page_is_file_cache() can change after putback_lru_page() is called,
so it should be called before putback_lru_page(), as it was before that
patch, to prevent NR_ISOLATE_* stats from going negative.

Without this fix, non-CONFIG_SMP kernels end up hanging in the
while(too_many_isolated()) { congestion_wait() } loop in
shrink_active_list() due to the negative stats.

<title>mm: memcontrol: use special workqueue for creating per-memcg caches</title>

commit 13583c3d3224508582ec03d881d0b68dd3ee8e10 upstream.

Creating a lot of cgroups at the same time might stall all worker
threads with kmem cache creation works, because kmem cache creation is
done with the slab_mutex held.  The problem was amplified by commits
801faf0db894 ("mm/slab: lockless decision to grow cache") in case of
SLAB and 81ae6d03952c ("mm/slub.c: replace kick_all_cpus_sync() with
synchronize_sched() in kmem_cache_shrink()") in case of SLUB, which
increased the maximal time the slab_mutex can be held.

To prevent that from happening, let's use a special ordered single
threaded workqueue for kmem cache creation.  This shouldn't introduce
any functional changes regarding how kmem caches are created, as the
work function holds the global slab_mutex during its whole runtime
anyway, making it impossible to run more than one work at a time.  By
using a single threaded workqueue, we just avoid creating a thread per
each work.  Ordering is required to avoid a situation when a cgroup's
work is put off indefinitely because there are other cgroups to serve,
in other words to guarantee fairness.

commit 85d492f28d056c40629fc25d79f54da618a29dc4 upstream.

Now 64K page system, zsamlloc has 257 classes so 8 class bit is not
enough.  With that, it corrupts the system when zsmalloc stores
65536byte data(ie, index number 256) so that this patch increases class
bit for simple fix for stable backport.  We should clean up this mess
soon.

<title>thp: fix MADV_DONTNEED vs. MADV_FREE race</title>

<id>f584803c49427ba9623adf93d7078cbe9775b027</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 58ceeb6bec86d9140f9d91d71a710e963523d063 upstream.

Both MADV_DONTNEED and MADV_FREE handled with down_read(mmap_sem).

It's critical to not clear pmd intermittently while handling MADV_FREE
to avoid race with MADV_DONTNEED:

	CPU0:				CPU1:
				madvise_free_huge_pmd()
				 pmdp_huge_get_and_clear_full()
madvise_dontneed()
 zap_pmd_range()
  pmd_trans_huge(*pmd) == 0 (without ptl)
  // skip the pmd
				 set_pmd_at();
				 // pmd is re-established

It results in MADV_DONTNEED skipping the pmd, leaving it not cleared.
It violates MADV_DONTNEED interface and can result is userspace
misbehaviour.

Basically it's the same race as with numa balancing in
change_huge_pmd(), but a bit simpler to mitigate: we don't need to
preserve dirty/young flags here due to MADV_FREE functionality.

commit 58ceeb6bec86d9140f9d91d71a710e963523d063 upstream.

Both MADV_DONTNEED and MADV_FREE handled with down_read(mmap_sem).

It's critical to not clear pmd intermittently while handling MADV_FREE
to avoid race with MADV_DONTNEED:

	CPU0:				CPU1:
				madvise_free_huge_pmd()
				 pmdp_huge_get_and_clear_full()
madvise_dontneed()
 zap_pmd_range()
  pmd_trans_huge(*pmd) == 0 (without ptl)
  // skip the pmd
				 set_pmd_at();
				 // pmd is re-established

It results in MADV_DONTNEED skipping the pmd, leaving it not cleared.
It violates MADV_DONTNEED interface and can result is userspace
misbehaviour.

Basically it's the same race as with numa balancing in
change_huge_pmd(), but a bit simpler to mitigate: we don't need to
preserve dirty/young flags here due to MADV_FREE functionality.

commit cf01fb9985e8deb25ccf0ea54d916b8871ae0e62 upstream.

In the case that compat_get_bitmap fails we do not want to copy the
bitmap to the user as it will contain uninitialized stack data and leak
sensitive data.

commit 0cefabdaf757a6455d75f00cb76874e62703ed18 upstream.

Commit 0a6b76dd23fa ("mm: workingset: make shadow node shrinker memcg
aware") enabled cgroup-awareness in the shadow node shrinker, but forgot
to also enable cgroup-awareness in the list_lru the shadow nodes sit on.

Consequently, all shadow nodes are sitting on a global (per-NUMA node)
list, while the shrinker applies the limits according to the amount of
cache in the cgroup its shrinking.  The result is excessive pressure on
the shadow nodes from cgroups that have very little cache.

Enable memcg-mode on the shadow node LRUs, such that per-cgroup limits
are applied to per-cgroup lists.
