In show_numa_map() we collect statistics into a numa_maps structure. Since the number of NUMA nodes can be very large, this structure is not a candidate for stack allocation. Instead of going thru a kmalloc()+kfree() cycle each time show_numa_map() is invoked, perform the allocation just once when /proc/pid/numa_maps is opened. Performing the allocation when numa_maps is opened, and thus before a reference to the target tasks mm is taken, eliminates a potential stalemate condition in the oom-killer as originally described by Hugh Dickins: ... imagine what happens if the system is out of memory, and the mm we're looking at is selected for killing by the OOM killer: while we wait in __get_free_page for more memory, no memory is freed from the selected mm because it cannot reach exit_mmap while we hold that reference.

Stephen Wilson authored
Moving show_numa_map() from mempolicy.c to task_mmu.c solves several issues. - Having the show() operation "miles away" from the corresponding seq_file iteration operations is a maintenance burden. - The need to export ad hoc info like struct proc_maps_private is eliminated. - The implementation of show_numa_map() can be improved in a simple manner by cooperating with the other seq_file operations (start, stop, etc) -- something that would be messy to do without this change.

Implement generic xattrs for tmpfs filesystems. The Feodra project, while trying to replace suid apps with file capabilities, realized that tmpfs, which is used on the build systems, does not support file capabilities and thus cannot be used to build packages which use file capabilities. Xattrs are also needed for overlayfs. The xattr interface is a bit odd. If a filesystem does not implement any {get,set,list}xattr functions the VFS will call into some random LSM hooks and the running LSM can then implement some method for handling xattrs. SELinux for example provides a method to support security.selinux but no other security.* xattrs. As it stands today when one enables CONFIG_TMPFS_POSIX_ACL tmpfs will have xattr handler routines specifically to handle acls. Because of this tmpfs would loose the VFS/LSM helpers to support the running LSM. To make up for that tmpfs had stub functions that did nothing but call into the LSM hooks which implement the helpers. This new patch does not use the LSM fallback functions and instead just implements a native get/set/list xattr feature for the full security.* and trusted.* namespace like a normal filesystem. This means that tmpfs can now support both security.selinux and security.capability, which was not previously possible. The basic implementation is that I attach a: struct shmem_xattr { struct list_head list; /* anchored by shmem_inode_info->xattr_list */ char *name; size_t size; char value[0]; }; Into the struct shmem_inode_info for each xattr that is set. This implementation could easily support the user.* namespace as well, except some care needs to be taken to prevent large amounts of unswappable memory being allocated for unprivileged users.

Rework the existing mmu_gather infrastructure. The direct purpose of these patches was to allow preemptible mmu_gather, but even without that I think these patches provide an improvement to the status quo. The first 9 patches rework the mmu_gather infrastructure. For review purpose I've split them into generic and per-arch patches with the last of those a generic cleanup. The next patch provides generic RCU page-table freeing, and the followup is a patch converting s390 to use this. I've also got 4 patches from DaveM lined up (not included in this series) that uses this to implement gup_fast() for sparc64. Then there is one patch that extends the generic mmu_gather batching. After that follow the mm preemptibility patches, these make part of the mm a lot more preemptible. It converts i_mmap_lock and anon_vma->lock to mutexes which together with the mmu_gather rework makes mmu_gather preemptible as well. Making i_mmap_lock a mutex also enables a clean-up of the truncate code. This also allows for preemptible mmu_notifiers, something that XPMEM I think wants. Furthermore, it removes the new and universially detested unmap_mutex. This patch: Remove the first obstacle towards a fully preemptible mmu_gather. The current scheme assumes mmu_gather is always done with preemption disabled and uses per-cpu storage for the page batches. Change this to try and allocate a page for batching and in case of failure, use a small on-stack array to make some progress. Preemptible mmu_gather is desired in general and usable once i_mmap_lock becomes a mutex. Doing it before the mutex conversion saves us from having to rework the code by moving the mmu_gather bits inside the pte_lock. Also avoid flushing the tlb batches from under the pte lock, this is useful even without the i_mmap_lock conversion as it significantly reduces pte lock hold times.

Currently we have expand_upwards exported while expand_downwards is accessible only via expand_stack or expand_stack_downwards. check_stack_guard_page is a nice example of the asymmetry. It uses expand_stack for VM_GROWSDOWN while expand_upwards is called for VM_GROWSUP case. Let's clean this up by exporting both functions and make those names consistent. Let's use expand_{upwards,downwards} because expanding doesn't always involve stack manipulation (an example is ia64_do_page_fault which uses expand_upwards for registers backing store expansion). expand_downwards has to be defined for both CONFIG_STACK_GROWS{UP,DOWN} because get_arg_page calls the downwards version in the early process initialization phase for growsup configuration.

Allow processes blocked on plock requests to be interrupted when they are killed. This leaves the problem of cleaning up the lock state in userspace. This has three parts: 1. Add a flag to unlock operations sent to userspace indicating the file is being closed. Userspace will then look for and clear any waiting plock operations that were abandoned by an interrupted process. 2. Queue an unlock-close operation (like in 1) to clean up userspace from an interrupted plock request. This is needed because the vfs will not send a cleanup-unlock if it sees no locks on the file, which it won't if the interrupted operation was the only one. 3. Do not use replies from userspace for unlock-close operations because they are unnecessary (they are just cleaning up for the process which did not make an unlock call). This also simplifies the new unlock-close generated from point 2. Signed-off-by:David Teigland <teigland@redhat.com>

Peter is concerned about the extra scan of CLOCK_REALTIME_COS in the timer interrupt. Yes, I did not think about it, because the solution was so elegant. I didn't like the extra list in timerfd when it was proposed some time ago, but with a rcu based list the list walk it's less horrible than the original global lock, which was held over the list iteration.

Switch to debugging using dynamic printk (pr_debug()). There is no good reason to carry custom debugging prints if there is so cool and powerful generic dynamic printk infrastructure, see Documentation/dynamic-debug-howto.txt. With dynamic printks we can switch on/of individual prints, per-file, per-function and per format messages. This means that instead of doing old-fashioned echo 1 > /sys/module/ubifs/parameters/debug_msgs to enable general messages, we can do: echo 'format "UBIFS DBG gen" +ptlf' > control to enable general messages and additionally ask the dynamic printk infrastructure to print process ID, line number and function name. So there is no reason to keep UBIFS-specific crud if there is more powerful generic thing. Signed-off-by:Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>

The deallocation code for directories in GFS2 is largely divided into two parts. The first part deallocates any directory leaf blocks and marks the directory as being a regular file when that is complete. The second stage was identical to deallocating regular files. Regular files have their data blocks in a different address space to directories, and thus what would have been normal data blocks in a regular file (the hash table in a GFS2 directory) were deallocated correctly. However, a reference to these blocks was left in the journal (assuming of course that some previous activity had resulted in those blocks being in the journal or ail list). This patch uses the i_depth as a test of whether the inode is an exhash directory (we cannot test the inode type as that has already been changed to a regular file at this stage in deallocation) The original issue was reported by Chris Hertel as an issue he encountered running bonnie++ Reported-by:

Commit e66eed65 ("list: remove prefetching from regular list iterators") removed the include of prefetch.h from list.h, which uncovered several cases that had apparently relied on that rather obscure header file dependency. So this fixes things up a bit, using grep -L linux/prefetch.h $(git grep -l '[^a-z_]prefetchw*(' -- '*.[ch]') grep -L 'prefetchw*(' $(git grep -l 'linux/prefetch.h' -- '*.[ch]') to guide us in finding files that either need <linux/prefetch.h> inclusion, or have it despite not needing it. There are more of them around (mostly network drivers), but this gets many core ones. Reported-by:

When allocating an extent that is long enough to consume the remaining free space in an AG, we need to ensure that the allocation leaves enough space in the AG for any subsequent bmap btree blocks that are needed to track the new extent. These have to be allocated in the same AG as we only reserve enough blocks in an allocation transaction for modification of the freespace trees in a single AG. xfs_alloc_fix_minleft() has been considering blocks on the AGFL as free blocks available for extent and bmbt block allocation, which is not correct - blocks on the AGFL are there exclusively for the use of the free space btrees. As a result, when minleft is less than the number of blocks on the AGFL, xfs_alloc_fix_minleft() does not trim the given extent to leave minleft blocks available for bmbt allocation, and hence we can fail allocation during bmbt record insertion.

When we free a vmapped buffer, we need to ensure the vmap address and length we free is the same as when it was allocated. In various places in the log code we change the memory the buffer is pointing to before issuing IO, but we never reset the buffer to point back to it's original memory (or no memory, if that is the case for the buffer). As a result, when we free the buffer it points to memory that is owned by something else and attempts to unmap and free it. Because the range does not match any known mapped range, it can trigger BUG_ON() traps in the vmap code, and potentially corrupt the vmap area tracking. Fix this by always resetting these buffers to their original state before freeing them. Signed-off-by:

When the underlying inode buffer is locked and xfs_sync_inode_attr() is doing a non-blocking flush, xfs_iflush() can return EAGAIN. When this happens, clear the error rather than returning it to xfs_inode_ag_walk(), as returning EAGAIN will result in the AG walk delaying for a short while and trying again. This can result in background walks getting stuck on the one AG until inode buffer is unlocked by some other means.
