* [PATCH] Fix strange size check in __get_vm_area_node()OGAWA Hirofumi2006-11-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Recently, __get_vm_area_node() was changed like following if (unlikely(!area)) return NULL; - if (unlikely(!size)) { - kfree (area); + if (unlikely(!size)) return NULL; - } It is leaking `area', also original code seems strange already. Probably, we wanted to do this patch. Signed-off-by: OGAWA Hirofumi <hirofumi@mail.parknet.co.jp> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

* [PATCH] hugetlb: check for brk() entering a hugepage regionDavid Gibson2006-11-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Unlike mmap(), the codepath for brk() creates a vma without first checking that it doesn't touch a region exclusively reserved for hugepages. On powerpc, this can allow it to create a normal page vma in a hugepage region, causing oopses and other badness. Add a test to prevent this. With this patch, brk() will simply fail if it attempts to move the break into a hugepage reserved region.

* [PATCH] hugetlb: prepare_hugepage_range check offset tooHugh Dickins2006-11-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (David:) If hugetlbfs_file_mmap() returns a failure to do_mmap_pgoff() - for example, because the given file offset is not hugepage aligned - then do_mmap_pgoff will go to the unmap_and_free_vma backout path. But at this stage the vma hasn't been marked as hugepage, and the backout path will call unmap_region() on it. That will eventually call down to the non-hugepage version of unmap_page_range(). On ppc64, at least, that will cause serious problems if there are any existing hugepage pagetable entries in the vicinity - for example if there are any other hugepage mappings under the same PUD. unmap_page_range() will trigger a bad_pud() on the hugepage pud entries. I suspect this will also cause bad problems on ia64, though I don't have a machine to test it on. (Hugh:) prepare_hugepage_range() should check file offset alignment when it checks virtual address and length, to stop MAP_FIXED with a bad huge offset from unmapping before it fails further down. PowerPC should apply the same prepare_hugepage_range alignment checks as ia64 and all the others do. Then none of the alignment checks in hugetlbfs_file_mmap are required (nor is the check for too small a mapping); but even so, move up setting of VM_HUGETLB and add a comment to warn of what David Gibson discovered - if hugetlbfs_file_mmap fails before setting it, do_mmap_pgoff's unmap_region when unwinding from error will go the non-huge way, which may cause bad behaviour on architectures (powerpc and ia64) which segregate their huge mappings into a separate region of the address space.

* [PATCH] Fix sys_move_pages when a NULL node list is passedStephen Rothwell2006-11-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | sys_move_pages() uses vmalloc() to allocate an array of structures that is fills with information passed from user mode and then passes to do_stat_pages() (in the case the node list is NULL). do_stat_pages() depends on a marker in the node field of the structure to decide how large the array is and this marker is correctly inserted into the last element of the array. However, vmalloc() doesn't zero the memory it allocates and if the user passes NULL for the node list, then the node fields are not filled in (except for the end marker). If the memory the vmalloc() returned happend to have a word with the marker value in it in just the right place, do_pages_stat will fail to fill the status field of part of the array and we will return (random) kernel data to user mode.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As reported by Martin J.

I haven't been able to reproduce this, although I understand why it happens: vmalloc allocates memory with GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_HIGHMEM and commit 52fd24ca1db3a741f144bbc229beefe044202cac resulted in the same flags are passed down to cache_alloc_refill, causing the BUG. The following patch fixes it. Note that when calling kmalloc_node, I am masking off __GFP_HIGHMEM with GFP_LEVEL_MASK, whereas __vmalloc_area_node does the same with ~(__GFP_HIGHMEM | __GFP_ZERO). IMHO, using GFP_LEVEL_MASK is preferable, but either should fix this problem. Signed-off-by: Giridhar Pemmasani (pgiri@yahoo.com) Cc: Martin J.

* [PATCH] Calculation fix for memory holes beyong the end of physical memoryMel Gorman2006-10-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | absent_pages_in_range() made the assumption that users of the arch-independent zone-sizing API would not care about holes beyound the end of physical memory. This was not the case and was "fixed" in a patch called "Account for holes that are outside the range of physical memory". However, when given a range that started before a hole in "real" memory and ended beyond the end of memory, it would get the result wrong. The bug is in mainline but a patch is below. It has been tested successfully on a number of machines and architectures.

* [PATCH] memory hotplug: __GFP_NOWARN is better for __kmalloc_section_memmap()Yasunori Goto2006-10-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add __GFP_NOWARN flag to calling of __alloc_pages() in __kmalloc_section_memmap(). It can reduce noisy failure message. In ia64, section size is 1 GB, this means that order 8 pages are necessary for each section's memmap. It is often very hard requirement under heavy memory pressure as you know. So, __alloc_pages() gives up allocation and shows many noisy stack traces which means no page for each sections. (Current my environment shows 32 times of stack trace....) But, __kmalloc_section_memmap() calls vmalloc() after failure of it, and it can succeed allocation of memmap. So, its stack trace warning becomes just noisy. I suppose it shouldn't be shown.

* [PATCH] Use min of two prio settings in calculating distress for reclaimMartin Bligh2006-10-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If try_to_free_pages / balance_pgdat are called with a gfp_mask specifying GFP_IO and/or GFP_FS, they will reclaim the requisite number of pages, and the reset prev_priority to DEF_PRIORITY (or to some other high (ie: unurgent) value). However, another reclaimer without those gfp_mask flags set (say, GFP_NOIO) may still be struggling to reclaim pages. The concurrent overwrite of zone->prev_priority will cause this GFP_NOIO thread to unexpectedly cease deactivating mapped pages, thus causing reclaim difficulties. Fix this is to key the distress calculation not off zone->prev_priority, but also take into account the local caller's priority by using min(zone->prev_priority, sc->priority) Signed-off-by: Martin J.

* [PATCH] vmscan: Fix temp_priority raceMartin Bligh2006-10-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The temp_priority field in zone is racy, as we can walk through a reclaim path, and just before we copy it into prev_priority, it can be overwritten (say with DEF_PRIORITY) by another reclaimer. The same bug is contained in both try_to_free_pages and balance_pgdat, but it is fixed slightly differently. In balance_pgdat, we keep a separate priority record per zone in a local array. In try_to_free_pages there is no need to do this, as the priority level is the same for all zones that we reclaim from. Impact of this bug is that temp_priority is copied into prev_priority, and setting this artificially high causes reclaimers to set distress artificially low. They then fail to reclaim mapped pages, when they are, in fact, under severe memory pressure (their priority may be as low as 0). This causes the OOM killer to fire incorrectly. From: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> __zone_reclaim() isn't modifying zone->prev_priority. But zone->prev_priority is used in the decision whether or not to bring mapped pages onto the inactive list. Hence there's a risk here that __zone_reclaim() will fail because zone->prev_priority ir large (ie: low urgency) and lots of mapped pages end up stuck on the active list. Fix that up by decreasing (ie making more urgent) zone->prev_priority as __zone_reclaim() scans the zone's pages. This bug perhaps explains why ZONE_RECLAIM_PRIORITY was created. It should be possible to remove that now, and to just start out at DEF_PRIORITY?

* [PATCH] knfsd: add nfs-export support to tmpfsDavid M. Grimes2006-10-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We need to encode a decode the 'file' part of a handle. We simply use the inode number and generation number to construct the filehandle. The generation number is the time when the file was created. As inode numbers cycle through the full 32 bits before being reused, there is no real chance of the same inum being allocated to different files in the same second so this is suitably unique. Using time-of-day rather than e.g. jiffies makes it less likely that the same filehandle can be created after a reboot. In order to be able to decode a filehandle we need to be able to lookup by inum, which means that the inode needs to be added to the inode hash table (tmpfs doesn't currently hash inodes as there is never a need to lookup by inum). To avoid overhead when not exporting, we only hash an inode when it is first exported. This requires a lock to ensure it isn't hashed twice. This code is separate from the patch posted in June06 from Atal Shargorodsky which provided the same functionality, but does borrow slightly from it. Locking comment: Most filesystems that hash their inodes do so at the point where the 'struct inode' is initialised, and that has suitable locking (I_NEW). Here in shmem, we are hashing the inode later, the first time we need an NFS file handle for it. We no longer have I_NEW to ensure only one thread tries to add it to the hash table.

* [PATCH] invalidate: remove_mapping() fixAndrew Morton2006-10-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If remove_mapping() failed to remove the page from its mapping, don't go and mark it not uptodate! Makes kernel go dead. (Actually, I don't think the ClearPageUptodate is needed there at all). Says Nick Piggin: "Right, it isn't needed because at this point the page is guaranteed by remove_mapping to have no references (except us) and cannot pick up any new ones because it is removed from pagecache. We can delete it." Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Acked-by: Nick Piggin <nickpiggin@yahoo.com.au> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

* [PATCH] VM: Fix the gfp_mask in invalidate_complete_page2Trond Myklebust2006-10-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If try_to_release_page() is called with a zero gfp mask, then the filesystem is effectively denied the possibility of sleeping while attempting to release the page. There doesn't appear to be any valid reason why this should be banned, given that we're not calling this from a memory allocation context. For this reason, change the gfp_mask argument of the call to GFP_KERNEL.

* [PATCH] hugetlb: fix linked list corruption in unmap_hugepage_range()Chen, Kenneth W2006-10-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | commit fe1668ae5bf0145014c71797febd9ad5670d5d05 causes kernel to oops with libhugetlbfs test suite. The problem is that hugetlb pages can be shared by multiple mappings. Multiple threads can fight over page->lru in the unmap path and bad things happen. We now serialize __unmap_hugepage_range to void concurrent linked list manipulation. Such serialization is also needed for shared page table page on hugetlb area. This patch will fixed the bug and also serve as a prepatch for shared page table.

* [PATCH] page fault retry with NOPAGE_REFAULTBenjamin Herrenschmidt2006-10-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a way for a no_page() handler to request a retry of the faulting instruction. It goes back to userland on page faults and just tries again in get_user_pages(). I added a cond_resched() in the loop in that later case. The problem I have with signal and spufs is an actual bug affecting apps and I don't see other ways of fixing it. In addition, we are having issues with infiniband and 64k pages (related to the way the hypervisor deals with some HV cards) that will require us to muck around with the MMU from within the IB driver's no_page() (it's a pSeries specific driver) and return to the caller the same way using NOPAGE_REFAULT. And to add to this, the graphics folks have been following a new approach of memory management that involves transparently swapping objects between video ram and main meory. To do that, they need installing PTEs from a no_page() handler as well and that also requires returning with NOPAGE_REFAULT. (For the later, they are currently using io_remap_pfn_range to install one PTE from no_page() which is a bit racy, we need to add a check for the PTE having already been installed afer taking the lock, but that's ok, they are only at the proof-of-concept stage. I'll send a patch adding a "clean" function to do that, we can use that from spufs too and get rid of the sparsemem hacks we do to create struct page for SPEs. Basically, that provides a generic solution for being able to have no_page() map hardware devices, which is something that I think sound driver folks have been asking for some time too). All of these things depend on having the NOPAGE_REFAULT exit path from no_page() handlers.
