e6f67b8c05 vfs: __read_cache_page should use gfp argument rather than GFP_KERNEL
lockdep reports a deadlock in jfs because a special inode's rw semaphore
is taken recursively.  The mapping's gfp mask is GFP_NOFS, but is not
used when __read_cache_page() calls add_to_page_cache_lru().

ff05b6f7ae oom: fix integer overflow of points in oom_badness
An integer overflow will happen on 64bit archs if task's sum of rss,
swapents and nr_ptes exceeds (2^31)/1000 value.  This was introduced by
commit

f755a04 oom: use pte pages in OOM score

where the oom score computation was divided into several steps and it's no
longer computed as one expression in unsigned long(rss, swapents, nr_pte
are unsigned long), where the result value assigned to points(int) is in
range(1..1000).  So there could be an int overflow while computing

176          points *= 1000;

and points may have negative value. Meaning the oom score for a mem hog task
will be one.

196          if (points <= 0)
197                  return 1;

For example:
[ 3366]     0  3366 35390480 24303939   5       0             0 oom01
Out of memory: Kill process 3366 (oom01) score 1 or sacrifice child

Here the oom1 process consumes more than 24303939(rss)*4096~=92GB physical
memory, but it's oom score is one.

In this situation the mem hog task is skipped and oom killer kills another and
most probably innocent task with oom score greater than one.

The points variable should be of type long instead of int to prevent the
int overflow.

9f57bd4d6d percpu: fix per_cpu_ptr_to_phys() handling of non-page-aligned addresses
per_cpu_ptr_to_phys() incorrectly rounds up its result for non-kmalloc
case to the page boundary, which is bogus for any non-page-aligned
address.

This affects the only in-tree user of this function - sysfs handler
for per-cpu 'crash_notes' physical address.  The trouble is that the
crash_notes per-cpu variable is not page-aligned:

crash_notes = 0xc08e8ed4
PER-CPU OFFSET VALUES:
 CPU 0: 3711f000
 CPU 1: 37129000
 CPU 2: 37133000
 CPU 3: 3713d000

So, the per-cpu addresses are:
 crash_notes on CPU 0: f7a07ed4 => phys 36b57ed4
 crash_notes on CPU 1: f7a11ed4 => phys 36b4ded4
 crash_notes on CPU 2: f7a1bed4 => phys 36b43ed4
 crash_notes on CPU 3: f7a25ed4 => phys 36b39ed4

However, /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/crash_notes says:
 /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/crash_notes: 36b57000
 /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/crash_notes: 36b4d000
 /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu2/crash_notes: 36b43000
 /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu3/crash_notes: 36b39000

As you can see, all values are rounded down to a page
boundary. Consequently, this is where kexec sets up the NOTE segments,
and thus where the secondary kernel is looking for them. However, when
the first kernel crashes, it saves the notes to the unaligned
addresses, where they are not found.

Fix it by adding offset_in_page() to the translated page address.

1368edf064 mm: vmalloc: check for page allocation failure before vmlist insertion
Commit f5252e00 ("mm: avoid null pointer access in vm_struct via
/proc/vmallocinfo") adds newly allocated vm_structs to the vmlist after
it is fully initialised.  Unfortunately, it did not check that
__vmalloc_area_node() successfully populated the area.  In the event of
allocation failure, the vmalloc area is freed but the pointer to freed
memory is inserted into the vmlist leading to a a crash later in
get_vmalloc_info().

This patch adds a check for ____vmalloc_area_node() failure within
__vmalloc_node_range.  It does not use "goto fail" as in the previous
error path as a warning was already displayed by __vmalloc_area_node()
before it called vfree in its failure path.

Credit goes to Luciano Chavez for doing all the real work of identifying
exactly where the problem was.

page_tail->_count zero at all times.  But the current kernel does not
set page_tail->_count to zero if a 1GB page is utilized.  So when an
IOMMU 1GB page is used by KVM, it wil result in a kernel oops because a
tail page's _count does not equal zero.

1dfb059b94 thp: reduce khugepaged freezing latency
khugepaged can sometimes cause suspend to fail, requiring that the user
retry the suspend operation.

Use wait_event_freezable_timeout() instead of
schedule_timeout_interruptible() to avoid missing freezer wakeups.  A
try_to_freeze() would have been needed in the khugepaged_alloc_hugepage
tight loop too in case of the allocation failing repeatedly, and
wait_event_freezable_timeout will provide it too.

khugepaged would still freeze just fine by trying again the next minute
but it's better if it freezes immediately.

635697c663 vmscan: fix initial shrinker size handling
A shrinker function can return -1, means that it cannot do anything
without a risk of deadlock.  For example prune_super() does this if it
cannot grab a superblock refrence, even if nr_to_scan=0.  Currently we
interpret this -1 as a ULONG_MAX size shrinker and evaluate `total_scan'
according to this.  So the next time around this shrinker can cause
really big pressure.  Let's skip such shrinkers instead.

Also make total_scan signed, otherwise the check (total_scan < 0) below
never works.

c5c6343c4d writeback: permit through good bdi even when global dirty exceeded
On a system with 1 local mount and 1 NFS mount, if the NFS server
becomes not responding when dd to the NFS mount, the NFS dirty pages may
exceed the global dirty limit and _every_ task involving writing will be
blocked. The whole system appears unresponsive.

The workaround is to permit through the bdi's that only has a small
number of dirty pages. The number chosen (bdi_stat_error pages) is not
enough to enable the local disk to run in optimal throughput, however is
enough to make the system responsive on a broken NFS mount. The user can
then kill the dirtiers on the NFS mount and increase the global dirty
limit to bring up the local disk's throughput.

It risks allowing dirty pages to grow much larger than the global dirty
limit when there are 1000+ mounts, however that's very unlikely to happen,
especially in low memory profiles.

aed21ad28b writeback: comment on the bdi dirty threshold
We do "floating proportions" to let active devices to grow its target
share of dirty pages and stalled/inactive devices to decrease its target
share over time.

It works well except in the case of "an inactive disk suddenly goes
busy", where the initial target share may be too small. To mitigate
this, bdi_position_ratio() has the below line to raise a small
bdi_thresh when it's safe to do so, so that the disk be feed with enough
dirty pages for efficient IO and in turn fast rampup of bdi_thresh:

        bdi_thresh = max(bdi_thresh, (limit - dirty) / 8);

balance_dirty_pages() normally does negative feedback control which
adjusts ratelimit to balance the bdi dirty pages around the target.
In some extreme cases when that is not enough, it will have to block
the tasks completely until the bdi dirty pages drop below bdi_thresh.

a50527b19c fs: Make write(2) interruptible by a fatal signal
Currently write(2) to a file is not interruptible by any signal.
Sometimes this is desirable, e.g. when you want to quickly kill a
process hogging your disk. Also, with commit 499d05ecf9 ("mm: Make
task in balance_dirty_pages() killable"), it's necessary to abort the
current write accordingly to avoid it quickly dirtying lots more pages
at unthrottled rate.

This patch makes write interruptible by SIGKILL. We do not allow write
to be interruptible by any other signal because that has larger
potential of screwing some badly written applications.

a855b84c3d percpu: fix chunk range calculation
Percpu allocator recorded the cpus which map to the first and last
units in pcpu_first/last_unit_cpu respectively and used them to
determine the address range of a chunk - e.g. it assumed that the
first unit has the lowest address in a chunk while the last unit has
the highest address.

This simply isn't true.  Groups in a chunk can have arbitrary positive
or negative offsets from the previous one and there is no guarantee
that the first unit occupies the lowest offset while the last one the
highest.

Fix it by actually comparing unit offsets to determine cpus occupying
the lowest and highest offsets.  Also, rename pcu_first/last_unit_cpu
to pcpu_low/high_unit_cpu to avoid confusion.

The chunk address range is used to flush cache on vmalloc area
map/unmap and decide whether a given address is in the first chunk by
per_cpu_ptr_to_phys() and the bug was discovered by invalid
per_cpu_ptr_to_phys() translation for crash_note.

Kudos to Dave Young for tracking down the problem.

1df647197c writeback: hard throttle 1000+ dd on a slow USB stick
The sleep based balance_dirty_pages() can pause at most MAX_PAUSE=200ms
on every 1 4KB-page, which means it cannot throttle a task under
4KB/200ms=20KB/s. So when there are more than 512 dd writing to a
10MB/s USB stick, its bdi dirty pages could grow out of control.

Even if we can increase MAX_PAUSE, the minimal (task_ratelimit = 1)
means a limit of 4KB/s.
                                                       
They can eventually be safeguarded by the global limit check 
(nr_dirty < dirty_thresh). However if someone is also writing to an 
HDD at the same time, it'll get poor HDD write performance.
                                                       
We at least want to maintain good write performance for other devices
when one device is attacked by some "massive parallel" workload, or
suffers from slow write bandwidth, or somehow get stalled due to some 
error condition (eg. NFS server not responding).

For a stalled device, we need to completely block its dirtiers, too,
before its bdi dirty pages grow all the way up to the global limit and
leave no space for the other functional devices.

So change the loop exit condition to

	/*
	 * Always enforce global dirty limit; also enforce bdi dirty limit
	 * if the normal max_pause sleeps cannot keep things under control.
	 */
	if (nr_dirty < dirty_thresh &&
	    (bdi_dirty < bdi_thresh || bdi->dirty_ratelimit > 1))
		break;

which can be further simplified to

	if (task_ratelimit)
		break;

cd12909cb5 xen: map foreign pages for shared rings by updating the PTEs directly
When mapping a foreign page with xenbus_map_ring_valloc() with the
GNTTABOP_map_grant_ref hypercall, set the GNTMAP_contains_pte flag and
pass a pointer to the PTE (in init_mm).

After the page is mapped, the usual fault mechanism can be used to
update additional MMs.  This allows the vmalloc_sync_all() to be
removed from alloc_vm_area().

499d05ecf9 mm: Make task in balance_dirty_pages() killable
There is no reason why task in balance_dirty_pages() shouldn't be killable
and it helps in recovering from some error conditions (like when filesystem
goes in error state and cannot accept writeback anymore but we still want to
kill processes using it to be able to unmount it).

There will be follow up patches to further abort the generic_perform_write()
and other filesystem write loops, to avoid large write + SIGKILL combination
exceeding the dirty limit and possibly strange OOM.

5aecc85abd oom: do not kill tasks with oom_score_adj OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MIN
Commit c9f01245 ("oom: remove oom_disable_count") has removed the
oom_disable_count counter which has been used for early break out from
oom_badness so we could never select a task with oom_score_adj set to
OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MIN (oom disabled).

Now that the counter is gone we are always going through heuristics
calculation and we always return a non zero positive value.  This means
that we can end up killing a task with OOM disabled because it is
indistinguishable from regular tasks with 1% resp.  CAP_SYS_ADMIN tasks
with 3% usage of memory or tasks with oom_score_adj set but OOM enabled.

Let's break out early if the task should have OOM disabled.

Lockdep reports there is potential deadlock for slub node list_lock.
discard_slab() is called with the lock hold in unfreeze_partials(),
which could trigger a slab allocation, which could hold the lock again.

discard_slab() doesn't need hold the lock actually, if the slab is
already removed from partial list.

unfreeze_partials() needs add the page to partial list tail, since such page
hasn't too many free objects. We now explictly use DEACTIVATE_TO_TAIL for this,
while DEACTIVATE_TO_TAIL != 1. This will cause performance regression (eg, more
lock contention in node->list_lock) without below fix.

7a401a972d backing-dev: ensure wakeup_timer is deleted
bdi_prune_sb() in bdi_unregister() attempts to removes the bdi links
from all super_blocks and then del_timer_sync() the writeback timer.

However, this can race with __mark_inode_dirty(), leading to
bdi_wakeup_thread_delayed() rearming the writeback timer on the bdi
we're unregistering, after we've called del_timer_sync().

This can end up with the bdi being freed with an active timer inside it,
as in the case of the following dump after the removal of an SD card.

Fix this by redoing the del_timer_sync() in bdi_destory().

4799401fef memcg: Fix race condition in memcg_check_events() with this_cpu usage
Various code in memcontrol.c () calls this_cpu_read() on the calculations
to be done from two different percpu variables, or does an open-coded
read-modify-write on a single percpu variable.

Disable preemption throughout these operations so that the writes go to
the correct palces.

a61ed3cec5 memcg: close race between charge and putback
There is a potential race between a thread charging a page and another
thread putting it back to the LRU list:

  charge:                         putback:
  SetPageCgroupUsed               SetPageLRU
  PageLRU && add to memcg LRU     PageCgroupUsed && add to memcg LRU

The order of setting one flag and checking the other is crucial, otherwise
the charge may observe !PageLRU while the putback observes !PageCgroupUsed
and the page is not linked to the memcg LRU at all.

Global memory pressure may fix this by trying to isolate and putback the
page for reclaim, where that putback would link it to the memcg LRU again.
 Without that, the memory cgroup is undeletable due to a charge whose
physical page can not be found and moved out.

9b272977e3 memcg: skip scanning active lists based on individual size
Reclaim decides to skip scanning an active list when the corresponding
inactive list is above a certain size in comparison to leave the assumed
working set alone while there are still enough reclaim candidates around.

The memcg implementation of comparing those lists instead reports whether
the whole memcg is low on the requested type of inactive pages,
considering all nodes and zones.

This can lead to an oversized active list not being scanned because of the
state of the other lists in the memcg, as well as an active list being
scanned while its corresponding inactive list has enough pages.

Not only is this wrong, it's also a scalability hazard, because the global
memory state over all nodes and zones has to be gathered for each memcg
and zone scanned.

Make these calculations purely based on the size of the two LRU lists
that are actually affected by the outcome of the decision.

0a619e5870 memcg: do not expose uninitialized mem_cgroup_per_node to world
If somebody is touching data too early, it might be easier to diagnose a
problem when dereferencing NULL at mem->info.nodeinfo[node] than trying to
understand why mem_cgroup_per_zone is [un|partly]initialized.

ff7ee93f47 cgroup/kmemleak: Annotate alloc_page() for cgroup allocations
When the cgroup base was allocated with kmalloc, it was necessary to
annotate the variable with kmemleak_not_leak().  But because it has
recently been changed to be allocated with alloc_page() (which skips
kmemleak checks) causes a warning on boot up.

I was triggering this output:

 allocated 8388608 bytes of page_cgroup
 please try 'cgroup_disable=memory' option if you don't want memory cgroups
 kmemleak: Trying to color unknown object at 0xf5840000 as Grey
 Pid: 0, comm: swapper Not tainted 3.0.0-test #12

  [<c1cbf0aa>] i386_start_kernel+0xaa/0xb0

After a bit of debugging I tracked the object 0xf840000 (and others) down
to the cgroup code.  The change from allocating base with kmalloc to
alloc_page() has the base not calling kmemleak_alloc() which adds the
pointer to the object_tree_root, but kmemleak_not_leak() adds it to the
crt_early_log[] table.  On kmemleak_init(), the entry is found in the
early_log[] but not the object_tree_root, and this error message is
displayed.

If alloc_page() fails then it defaults back to vmalloc() which still uses
the kmemleak_alloc() which makes us still need the kmemleak_not_leak()
call.  The solution is to call the kmemleak_alloc() directly if the
alloc_page() succeeds.
