linux/mm, branch v4.3

Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block

2015-10-23T22:20:57Z

Pull block layer fixes from Jens Axboe: "A final set of fixes for 4.3. It is (again) bigger than I would have liked, but it's all been through the testing mill and has been carefully reviewed by multiple parties. Each fix is either a regression fix for this cycle, or is marked stable. You can scold me at KS. The pull request contains: - Three simple fixes for NVMe, fixing regressions since 4.3. From Arnd, Christoph, and Keith. - A single xen-blkfront fix from Cathy, fixing a NULL dereference if an error is returned through the staste change callback. - Fixup for some bad/sloppy code in nbd that got introduced earlier in this cycle. From Markus Pargmann. - A blk-mq tagset use-after-free fix from Junichi. - A backing device lifetime fix from Tejun, fixing a crash. - And finally, a set of regression/stable fixes for cgroup writeback from Tejun" * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: writeback: remove broken rbtree_postorder_for_each_entry_safe() usage in cgwb_bdi_destroy() NVMe: Fix memory leak on retried commands block: don't release bdi while request_queue has live references nvme: use an integer value to Linux errno values blk-mq: fix use-after-free in blk_mq_free_tag_set() nvme: fix 32-bit build warning writeback: fix incorrect calculation of available memory for memcg domains writeback: memcg dirty_throttle_control should be initialized with wb->memcg_completions writeback: bdi_writeback iteration must not skip dying ones writeback: fix bdi_writeback iteration in wakeup_dirtytime_writeback() writeback: laptop_mode_timer_fn() needs rcu_read_lock() around bdi_writeback iteration nbd: Add locking for tasks xen-blkfront: check for null drvdata in blkback_changed (XenbusStateClosing)

mm: make sendfile(2) killable

2015-10-23T08:55:10Z

Currently a simple program below issues a sendfile(2) system call which takes about 62 days to complete in my test KVM instance. int fd; off_t off = 0; fd = open("file", O_RDWR | O_TRUNC | O_SYNC | O_CREAT, 0644); ftruncate(fd, 2); lseek(fd, 0, SEEK_END); sendfile(fd, fd, &off, 0xfffffff); Now you should not ask kernel to do a stupid stuff like copying 256MB in 2-byte chunks and call fsync(2) after each chunk but if you do, sysadmin should have a way to stop you. We actually do have a check for fatal_signal_pending() in generic_perform_write() which triggers in this path however because we always succeed in writing something before the check is done, we return value > 0 from generic_perform_write() and thus the information about signal gets lost. Fix the problem by doing the signal check before writing anything. That way generic_perform_write() returns -EINTR, the error gets propagated up and the sendfile loop terminates early.

thp: use is_zero_pfn() only after pte_present() check

2015-10-23T08:55:10Z

Use is_zero_pfn() on pteval only after pte_present() check on pteval (It might be better idea to introduce is_zero_pte() which checks pte_present() first). Otherwise when working on a swap or migration entry and if pte_pfn's result is equal to zero_pfn by chance, we lose user's data in __collapse_huge_page_copy(). So if you're unlucky, the application segfaults and finally you could see below message on exit: BUG: Bad rss-counter state mm:ffff88007f099300 idx:2 val:3 Fixes: ca0984caa823 ("mm: incorporate zero pages into transparent huge pages") Signed-off-by: Minchan Kim Reviewed-by: Andrea Arcangeli Acked-by: Kirill A.

writeback: remove broken rbtree_postorder_for_each_entry_safe() usage in cgwb_bdi_destroy()

2015-10-21T14:17:29Z

a20135ffbc44 ("writeback: don't drain bdi_writeback_congested on bdi destruction") added rbtree_postorder_for_each_entry_safe() which is used to remove all entries; however, according to Cody, the iterator isn't safe against operations which may rebalance the tree. Fix it by switching to repeatedly removing rb_first() until empty.

mm, dax: fix DAX deadlocks

2015-10-16T18:42:28Z

The following two locking commits in the DAX code: commit 843172978bb9 ("dax: fix race between simultaneous faults") commit 46c043ede471 ("mm: take i_mmap_lock in unmap_mapping_range() for DAX") introduced a number of deadlocks and other issues which need to be fixed for the v4.3 kernel. The list of issues in DAX after these commits (some newly introduced by the commits, some preexisting) can be found here: https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/9/25/602 (Subject: "Re: [PATCH] dax: fix deadlock in __dax_fault"). This undoes most of the changes introduced by those two commits, essentially returning us to the DAX locking scheme that was used in v4.2.

memcg: convert threshold to bytes

2015-10-16T18:42:28Z

page_counter_memparse() returns pages for the threshold, while mem_cgroup_usage() returns bytes for memory usage. Convert the threshold to bytes.

mm, fs: obey gfp_mapping for add_to_page_cache()

2015-10-16T18:42:28Z

Commit 6afdb859b710 ("mm: do not ignore mapping_gfp_mask in page cache allocation paths") has caught some users of hardcoded GFP_KERNEL used in the page cache allocation paths. This, however, wasn't complete and there were others which went unnoticed. Dave Chinner has reported the following deadlock for xfs on loop device: : With the recent merge of the loop device changes, I'm now seeing : XFS deadlock on my single CPU, 1GB RAM VM running xfs/073. : : The deadlocked is as follows: : : kloopd1: loop_queue_read_work : xfs_file_iter_read : lock XFS inode XFS_IOLOCK_SHARED (on image file) : page cache read (GFP_KERNEL) : radix tree alloc : memory reclaim : reclaim XFS inodes : log force to unpin inodes : : : xfs-cil/loop1: : xlog_cil_push : xlog_write : : xlog_state_get_iclog_space() : : : : kloopd1: loop_queue_write_work : xfs_file_write_iter : lock XFS inode XFS_IOLOCK_EXCL (on image file) : : : i.e. the kloopd, with it's split read and write work queues, has : introduced a dependency through memory reclaim. i.e. that writes : need to be able to progress for reads make progress. : : The problem, fundamentally, is that mpage_readpages() does a : GFP_KERNEL allocation, rather than paying attention to the inode's : mapping gfp mask, which is set to GFP_NOFS. : : The didn't used to happen, because the loop device used to issue : reads through the splice path and that does: : : error = add_to_page_cache_lru(page, mapping, index, : GFP_KERNEL & mapping_gfp_mask(mapping)); This has changed by commit aa4d86163e4 ("block: loop: switch to VFS ITER_BVEC"). This patch changes mpage_readpage{s} to follow gfp mask set for the mapping. There are, however, other places which are doing basically the same. lustre:ll_dir_filler is doing GFP_KERNEL from the function which apparently uses GFP_NOFS for other allocations so let's make this consistent. cifs:readpages_get_pages is called from cifs_readpages and __cifs_readpages_from_fscache called from the same path obeys mapping gfp. ramfs_nommu_expand_for_mapping is hardcoding GFP_KERNEL as well regardless it uses mapping_gfp_mask for the page allocation. ext4_mpage_readpages is the called from the page cache allocation path same as read_pages and read_cache_pages As I've noticed in my previous post I cannot say I would be happy about sprinkling mapping_gfp_mask all over the place and it sounds like we should drop gfp_mask argument altogether and use it internally in __add_to_page_cache_locked that would require all the filesystems to use mapping gfp consistently which I am not sure is the case here. From a quick glance it seems that some file system use it all the time while others are selective.

vmstat: explicitly schedule per-cpu work on the CPU we need it to run on

2015-10-15T20:01:50Z

The vmstat code uses "schedule_delayed_work_on()" to do the initial startup of the delayed work on the right CPU, but then once it was started it would use the non-cpu-specific "schedule_delayed_work()" to re-schedule it on that CPU. That just happened to schedule it on the same CPU historically (well, in almost all situations), but the code _requires_ this work to be per-cpu, and should say so explicitly rather than depend on the non-cpu-specific scheduling to schedule on the current CPU. The timer code is being changed to not be as single-minded in always running things on the calling CPU. See also commit 874bbfe600a6 ("workqueue: make sure delayed work run in local cpu") that for now maintains the local CPU guarantees just in case there are other broken users that depended on the accidental behavior.
