  • Originally queue_delayed_work() used to negative error codes or 0 and 1
    on success depending if the work was queued or not. It caused a lot of
    bugs where people treated all non-zero returns as failures so we changed
    it to return bool instead in d4283e937861 ('workqueue: make queueing
    functions return bool'). Now it never returns failure.

    Checking for negative values causes a static checker warning since it is
    impossible based on the bool type.

  • In sctp_close, sctp_make_abort_user may return NULL because of memory
    allocation failure. If this happens, it will bypass any state change
    and never free the assoc. The assoc has no chance to be freed and it
    will be kept in memory with the state it had even after the socket is
    closed by sctp_close().

    So if sctp_make_abort_user fails to allocate memory, we should abort
    the asoc via sctp_primitive_ABORT as well. Just like the annotation in
    sctp_sf_cookie_wait_prm_abort and sctp_sf_do_9_1_prm_abort said,
    "Even if we can't send the ABORT due to low memory delete the TCB.
    This is a departure from our typical NOMEM handling".

    But then the chunk is NULL (low memory) and the SCTP_CMD_REPLY cmd would
    dereference the chunk pointer, and system crash. So we should add
    SCTP_CMD_REPLY cmd only when the chunk is not NULL, just like other
    places where it adds SCTP_CMD_REPLY cmd.

  • Commit ceb5d58b2170 ("net: fix sock_wake_async() rcu protection") from
    the current 4.4 release cycle introduced a new flags member in
    struct socket_wq and moved SOCKWQ_ASYNC_NOSPACE and SOCKWQ_ASYNC_WAITDATA
    from struct socket's flags member into that new place.

    Unfortunately, the new flags field is never initialized properly, at least
    not for the struct socket_wq instance created in sock_alloc_inode().

    One particular issue I encountered because of this is that my GNU Emacs
    failed to draw anything on my desktop -- i.e. what I got is a transparent
    window, including the title bar. Bisection lead to the commit mentioned
    above and further investigation by means of strace told me that Emacs
    is indeed speaking to my Xorg through an O_ASYNC AF_UNIX socket. This is
    reproducible 100% of times and the fact that properly initializing the
    struct socket_wq ->flags fixes the issue leads me to the conclusion that
    somehow SOCKWQ_ASYNC_WAITDATA got set in the uninitialized ->flags,
    preventing my Emacs from receiving any SIGIO's due to data becoming
    available and it got stuck.

    Make sock_alloc_inode() set the newly created struct socket_wq's ->flags
    member to zero.

    Basically three amazing fixes in this pull request, split into 4
    patches. Believe me, they should go into 4.4. Two of them fix a

    timer completions. Add a block helper to restart a queue
    asynchronously, and use that from null_blk. From me.

    - Fix a performance issue in NVMe. Some devices (Intel Pxxxx) expose
    a stripe boundary, and performance suffers if we cross it. We took
    that into account for merging, but not for the newer splitting

  • The total delay of HDMI hotplug detecting with 30ms is sometimes not
    enoughtfor HDMI live status up with specific HDMI monitors in BSW platform.

    After doing experiments for following monitors, it needs 80ms at least
    for those worst cases.

    Lenovo L246 1xwA (4 failed, necessary hot-plug delay: 58/40/60/40ms)
    Philips HH2AP (9 failed, necessary hot-plug delay: 80/50/50/60/46/40/58/58/39ms)
    BENQ ET-0035-N (6 failed, necessary hot-plug delay: 60/50/50/80/80/40ms)
    DELL U2713HM (2 failed, necessary hot-plug delay: 58/59ms)
    HP HP-LP2475w (5 failed, necessary hot-plug delay: 70/50/40/60/40ms)

    It looks like 70-80 ms is BSW platform needs in some bad cases of the
    monitors at this end (8 times delay at most). Keep less than 100ms for
    HDCP pulse HPD low (with at least 100ms) to respond a plug out.

  • mod_zone_page_state() takes a "delta" integer argument. delta contains
    the number of pages that should be added or subtracted from a struct
    zone's vm_stat field.

    If a zone is larger than 8TB this will cause overflows. E.g. for a
    zone with a size slightly larger than 8TB the line

    mod_zone_page_state(zone, NR_ALLOC_BATCH, zone->managed_pages);

    in mm/page_alloc.c:free_area_init_core() will result in a negative
    result for the NR_ALLOC_BATCH entry within the zone's vm_stat, since 8TB
    contain 0x8xxxxxxx pages which will be sign extended to a negative
    value.

    Fix this by changing the delta argument to long type.

    This could fix an early boot problem seen on s390, where we have a 9TB
    system with only one node. ZONE_DMA contains 2GB and ZONE_NORMAL the
    rest. The system is trying to allocate a GFP_DMA page but ZONE_DMA is
    completely empty, so it tries to reclaim pages in an endless loop.

    This was seen on a heavily patched 3.10 kernel. One possible
    explaination seem to be the overflows caused by mod_zone_page_state().
    Unfortunately I did not have the chance to verify that this patch
    actually fixes the problem, since I don't have access to the system
    right now. However the overflow problem does exist anyway.

    Given the description that a system with slightly less than 8TB does
    work, this seems to be a candidate for the observed problem.

  • test_pages_in_a_zone() does not account for the possibility of missing
    sections in the given pfn range. pfn_valid_within always returns 1 when
    CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE is not set, allowing invalid pfns from missing
    sections to pass the test, leading to a kernel oops.

    Wrap an additional pfn loop with PAGES_PER_SECTION granularity to check
    for missing sections before proceeding into the zone-check code.

    This also prevents a crash from offlining memory devices with missing
    sections. Despite this, it may be a good idea to keep the related patch
    '[PATCH 3/3] drivers: memory: prohibit offlining of memory blocks with
    missing sections' because missing sections in a memory block may lead to
    other problems not covered by the scope of this fix.

  • Memory cgroup reclaim can be interrupted with mem_cgroup_iter_break()
    once enough pages have been reclaimed, in which case, in contrast to a
    full round-trip over a cgroup sub-tree, the current position stored in
    mem_cgroup_reclaim_iter of the target cgroup does not get invalidated
    and so is left holding the reference to the last scanned cgroup. If the
    target cgroup does not get scanned again (we might have just reclaimed
    the last page or all processes might exit and free their memory
    voluntary), we will leak it, because there is nobody to put the
    reference held by the iterator.

    The problem is easy to reproduce by running the following command
    sequence in a loop:

    mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test
    echo 100M > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test/memory.limit_in_bytes
    echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test/cgroup.procs
    memhog 150M
    echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/cgroup.procs
    rmdir test

    The cgroups generated by it will never get freed.

    This patch fixes this issue by making mem_cgroup_iter avoid taking
    reference to the current position. In order not to hit use-after-free
    bug while running reclaim in parallel with cgroup deletion, we make use
    of ->css_released cgroup callback to clear references to the dying
    cgroup in all reclaim iterators that might refer to it. This callback
    is called right before scheduling rcu work which will free css, so if we
    access iter->position from rcu read section, we might be sure it won't
    go away under us.

  • When resizing, it firstly extends the last gd. Once it should backup
    super in the gd, it calculates new backup super and update the
    corresponding value.

    But it currently doesn't consider the situation that the backup super is
    already done. And in this case, it still sets the bit in gd bitmap and
    then decrease from bg_free_bits_count, which leads to a corrupted gd and
    trigger the BUG in ocfs2_block_group_set_bits:

    BUG_ON(le16_to_cpu(bg->bg_free_bits_count) < num_bits);

    So check whether the backup super is done and then do the updates.

  • Commit 5b48bb8506c5 ("openvswitch: Fix helper reference leak") fixed a
    reference leak on helper objects, but inadvertently introduced a leak on
    the ct template.

    Previously, ct_info.ct->general.use was initialized to 0 by
    nf_ct_tmpl_alloc() and only incremented when ovs_ct_copy_action()
    returned successful. If an error occurred while adding the helper or
    adding the action to the actions buffer, the __ovs_ct_free_action()
    cleanup would use nf_ct_put() to free the entry; However, this relies on
    atomic_dec_and_test(ct_info.ct->general.use). This reference must be
    incremented first, or nf_ct_put() will never free it.

    Fix the issue by acquiring a reference to the template immediately after
    allocation.

  • dev->nr_luns reports the total number of luns available in a device
    while dev->luns_per_chnl is the number of luns per channel.

    When multiple channels are available, the offset is calculated from a
    channel and lun id into a linear array. As it multiplies with
    the total number of luns, we go out of bound when channel id > 0 and
    causes the kernel to panic when we read a protected kernel memory area.

  • Pull rdma fixes from Doug Ledford:
    "Three late 4.4-rc fixes.

    The first two were very small in terms of number of lines, the third
    is more lines of change than I like this late in the cycle, but there
    are positive test results from Avagotech and from my own test setup
    with the target hardware, and given the problem was a 100% failure
    case, I sent it through.

    - A previous patch updated the mlx4 driver to use vmalloc when there
    was not enough memory to get a contiguous region large enough for
    our needs, so we need kvfree() whenever we free that item. We
    missed one place, so fix that now.

    - A previous patch added code to match incoming packets against a
    specific device, but failed to compensate for devices that have
    both InfiniBand and Ethernet ports. Fix that.

    - Under certain vlan conditions, the ocrdma driver would fail to
    bring up any vlan interfaces and would print out a circular locking
    failure. Fix that"

  • If null_blk is run in NULL_IRQ_TIMER mode and with queue_mode NULL_Q_RQ,
    we need to restart the queue from the hrtimer interrupt. We can't
    directly invoke the request_fn from that context, so punt the queue run
    to async kblockd context.
