2012-11-09mm: bugfix: set current->reclaim_state to NULL while returning from kswapd()Takamori Yamaguchi
In kswapd(), set current->reclaim_state to NULL before returning, as current->reclaim_state holds reference to variable on kswapd()'s stack. In rare cases, while returning from kswapd() during memory offlining, __free_slab() and freepages() can access the dangling pointer of current->reclaim_state.

2012-11-05cgroup: remove CGRP_WAIT_ON_RMDIR, cgroup_exclude_rmdir() and ↵Tejun Heo
cgroup_release_and_wakeup_rmdir() CGRP_WAIT_ON_RMDIR is another kludge which was added to make cgroup destruction rollback somewhat working. cgroup_rmdir() used to drain CSS references and CGRP_WAIT_ON_RMDIR and the associated waitqueue and helpers were used to allow the task performing rmdir to wait for the next relevant event. Unfortunately, the wait is visible to controllers too and the mechanism got exposed to memcg by 887032670d ("cgroup avoid permanent sleep at rmdir"). Now that the draining and retries are gone, CGRP_WAIT_ON_RMDIR is unnecessary. Remove it and all the mechanisms supporting it. Note that memcontrol.c changes are essentially revert of 887032670d ("cgroup avoid permanent sleep at rmdir").

2012-11-05cgroup: kill CSS_REMOVEDTejun Heo
CSS_REMOVED is one of the several contortions which were necessary to support css reference draining on cgroup removal. All css->refcnts which need draining should be deactivated and verified to equal zero atomically w.r.t. css_tryget(). If any one isn't zero, all refcnts needed to be re-activated and css_tryget() shouldn't fail in the process. This was achieved by letting css_tryget() busy-loop until either the refcnt is reactivated (failed removal attempt) or CSS_REMOVED is set (committing to removal). Now that css refcnt draining is no longer used, there's no need for atomic rollback mechanism. css_tryget() simply can look at the reference count and fail if it's deactivated - it's never getting re-activated. This patch removes CSS_REMOVED and updates __css_tryget() to fail if the refcnt is deactivated. As deactivation and removal are a single step now, they no longer need to be protected against css_tryget() happening from irq context. Remove local_irq_disable/enable() from cgroup_rmdir(). Note that this removes css_is_removed() whose only user is VM_BUG_ON() in memcontrol.c. We can replace it with a check on the refcnt but given that the only use case is a debug assert, I think it's better to simply unexport it. v2: Comment updated and explanation on local_irq_disable/enable() added per Michal Hocko.

2012-10-31mm/slob: use min_t() to compare ARCH_SLAB_MINALIGNArnd Bergmann
The definition of ARCH_SLAB_MINALIGN is architecture dependent and can be either of type size_t or int. Comparing that value with ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN can cause harmless warnings on platforms where they are different.

2012-10-31slab: Ignore internal flags in cache creationGlauber Costa
Some flags are used internally by the allocators for management purposes. One example of that is the CFLGS_OFF_SLAB flag that slab uses to mark that the metadata for that cache is stored outside of the slab. No cache should ever pass those as a creation flags. We can just ignore this bit if it happens to be passed (such as when duplicating a cache in the kmem memcg patches). Because such flags can vary from allocator to allocator, we allow them to make their own decisions on that, defining SLAB_AVAILABLE_FLAGS with all flags that are valid at creation time. Allocators that doesn't have any specific flag requirement should define that to mean all flags. Common code will mask out all flags not belonging to that set.

When freeing objects, the slob allocator currently free empty pages calling __free_pages(). However, page-size kmallocs are disposed using put_page() instead. It makes no sense to call put_page() for kernel pages that are provided by the object allocator, so we shouldn't be doing this ourselves.

2012-10-29memcg: Simplify mem_cgroup_force_empty_list error handlingMichal Hocko
mem_cgroup_force_empty_list currently tries to remove all pages from the given LRU. To prevent from temoporary failures (EBUSY returned by mem_cgroup_move_parent) it uses a margin to the current LRU pages and returns the true if there are still some pages left on the list. If we consider that mem_cgroup_move_parent fails only when it is racing with somebody else removing (uncharging) the page or when the page is migrated then it is obvious that all those failures are only temporal and so we can safely retry later. Let's get rid of the safety margin and make the loop really wait for the empty LRU. The caller should still make sure that all charges have been removed from the res_counter because mem_cgroup_replace_page_cache might add a page to the LRU after the list_empty check (it doesn't touch res_counter though). This catches most of the cases except for shmem which might call mem_cgroup_replace_page_cache with a page which is not charged and on the LRU yet but this was the case also without this patch. In order to fix this we need a guarantee that try_get_mem_cgroup_from_page falls back to the current mm's cgroup so it needs css_tryget to fail. This will be fixed up in a later patch because it needs a help from cgroup core (pre_destroy has to be called after css is cleared). Although mem_cgroup_pre_destroy can still fail (if a new task or a new sub-group appears) there is no reason to retry pre_destroy callback from the cgroup core. This means that __DEPRECATED_clear_css_refs has lost its meaning and it can be removed.

2012-10-25mm: fix XFS oops due to dirty pages without buffers on s390Jan Kara
On s390 any write to a page (even from kernel itself) sets architecture specific page dirty bit. Thus when a page is written to via buffered write, HW dirty bit gets set and when we later map and unmap the page, page_remove_rmap() finds the dirty bit and calls set_page_dirty(). Dirtying of a page which shouldn't be dirty can cause all sorts of problems to filesystems. The bug we observed in practice is that buffers from the page get freed, so when the page gets later marked as dirty and writeback writes it, XFS crashes due to an assertion BUG_ON(!PagePrivate(page)) in page_buffers() called from xfs_count_page_state(). Similar problem can also happen when zero_user_segment() call from xfs_vm_writepage() (or block_write_full_page() for that matter) set the hardware dirty bit during writeback, later buffers get freed, and then page unmapped. Fix the issue by ignoring s390 HW dirty bit for page cache pages of mappings with mapping_cap_account_dirty(). This is safe because for such mappings when a page gets marked as writeable in PTE it is also marked dirty in do_wp_page() or do_page_fault(). When the dirty bit is cleared by clear_page_dirty_for_io(), the page gets writeprotected in page_mkclean(). So pagecache page is writeable if and only if it is dirty. Thanks to Hugh Dickins for pointing out mapping has to have mapping_cap_account_dirty() for things to work and proposing a cleaned up variant of the patch. The patch has survived about two hours of running fsx-linux on tmpfs while heavily swapping and several days of running on out build machines where the original problem was triggered.

2012-10-24slub: Commonize slab_cache field in struct pageGlauber Costa
Right now, slab and slub have fields in struct page to derive which cache a page belongs to, but they do it slightly differently. slab uses a field called slab_cache, that lives in the third double word. slub, uses a field called "slab", living outside of the doublewords area. Ideally, we could use the same field for this. Since slub heavily makes use of the doubleword region, there isn't really much room to move slub's slab_cache field around. Since slab does not have such strict placement restrictions, we can move it outside the doubleword area. The naming used by slab, "slab_cache", is less confusing, and it is preferred over slub's generic "slab".

Thierry reported that the "iron out" patch for isolate_freepages_block() had problems due to the strict check being too strict with "mm: compaction: Iron out isolate_freepages_block() and isolate_freepages_range() -fix1". It's possible that more pages than necessary are isolated but the check still fails and I missed that this fix was not picked up before RC1. This same problem has been identified in 3.7-RC1 by Tony Prisk and should be addressed by the following patch.

2012-10-19slub: remove one code path and reduce lock contention in __slab_free()Joonsoo Kim
When we try to free object, there is some of case that we need to take a node lock. This is the necessary step for preventing a race. After taking a lock, then we try to cmpxchg_double_slab(). But, there is a possible scenario that cmpxchg_double_slab() is failed with taking a lock. Following example explains it. CPU A CPU B need lock ... need lock ... lock!! lock..but spin free success spin... unlock lock!! free fail In this case, retry with taking a lock is occured in CPU A. I think that in this case for CPU A, "release a lock first, and re-take a lock if necessary" is preferable way. There are two reasons for this. First, this makes __slab_free()'s logic somehow simple. With this patch, 'was_frozen = 1' is "always" handled without taking a lock. So we can remove one code path. Second, it may reduce lock contention. When we do retrying, status of slab is already changed, so we don't need a lock anymore in almost every case. "release a lock first, and re-take a lock if necessary" policy is helpful to this.

2012-10-16mm, mempolicy: fix printing stack contents in numa_mapsDavid Rientjes
When reading /proc/pid/numa_maps, it's possible to return the contents of the stack where the mempolicy string should be printed if the policy gets freed from beneath us. This happens because mpol_to_str() may return an error the stack-allocated buffer is then printed without ever being stored. There are two possible error conditions in mpol_to_str(): - if the buffer allocated is insufficient for the string to be stored, and - if the mempolicy has an invalid mode. The first error condition is not triggered in any of the callers to mpol_to_str(): at least 50 bytes is always allocated on the stack and this is sufficient for the string to be written. A future patch should convert this into BUILD_BUG_ON() since we know the maximum strlen possible, but that's not -rc material. The second error condition is possible if a race occurs in dropping a reference to a task's mempolicy causing it to be freed during the read(). The slab poison value is then used for the mode and mpol_to_str() returns -EINVAL. This race is only possible because get_vma_policy() believes that mm->mmap_sem protects task->mempolicy, which isn't true. The exit path does not hold mm->mmap_sem when dropping the reference or setting task->mempolicy to NULL: it uses task_lock(task) instead. Thus, it's required for the caller of a task mempolicy to hold task_lock(task) while grabbing the mempolicy and reading it. Callers with a vma policy store their mempolicy earlier and can simply increment the reference count so it's guaranteed not to be freed.

2012-10-12vfs: define struct filename and have getname() return itJeff Layton
getname() is intended to copy pathname strings from userspace into a kernel buffer. The result is just a string in kernel space. It would however be quite helpful to be able to attach some ancillary info to the string. For instance, we could attach some audit-related info to reduce the amount of audit-related processing needed. When auditing is enabled, we could also call getname() on the string more than once and not need to recopy it from userspace. This patchset converts the getname()/putname() interfaces to return a struct instead of a string. For now, the struct just tracks the string in kernel space and the original userland pointer for it. Later, we'll add other information to the struct as it becomes convenient. Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

Lockdep has no way of knowing the fact that the ABBA can actually never happen, because of special semantics of cpu_hotplug.refcount and its handling in cpu_hotplug_begin(); the mutual exclusion there is not achieved through mutex, but through cpu_hotplug.refcount. The "neither cpu_up() nor cpu_down() will proceed past cpu_hotplug_begin() until everyone who called get_online_cpus() will call put_online_cpus()" semantics is totally invisible to lockdep. This patch therefore moves the unlock of slab_mutex so that rcu_barrier() is being called with it unlocked. It has two advantages: - it slightly reduces hold time of slab_mutex; as it's used to protect the cachep list, it's not necessary to hold it over kmem_cache_free() call any more - it silences the lockdep false positive warning, as it avoids lockdep ever learning about slab_mutex -> cpu_hotplug.lock dependency Reviewed-by: Paul E.

2012-10-09mm/slob: use min_t() to compare ARCH_SLAB_MINALIGNArnd Bergmann
The definition of ARCH_SLAB_MINALIGN is architecture dependent and can be either of type size_t or int. Comparing that value with ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN can cause harmless warnings on platforms where they are different. Since both are always small positive integer numbers, using the size_t type to compare them is safe and gets rid of the warning.
