  • The cgroup iterators yield css objects that have not yet gone through
    css_online(), but they are not complete memcgs at this point and so the
    memcg iterators should not return them. Commit d8ad30559715 ("mm/memcg:
    iteration skip memcgs not yet fully initialized") set out to implement
    exactly this, but it uses CSS_ONLINE, a cgroup-internal flag that does
    not meet the ordering requirements for memcg, and so the iterator may
    skip over initialized groups, or return partially initialized memcgs.

    The cgroup core can not reasonably provide a clear answer on whether the
    object around the css has been fully initialized, as that depends on
    controller-specific locking and lifetime rules. Thus, introduce a
    memcg-specific flag that is set after the memcg has been initialized in
    css_online(), and read before mem_cgroup_iter() callers access the memcg
    members.

  • If we got a reconnect error from async readv we re-add pages back
    to page_list and continue loop. That is wrong because these pages
    have been already added to the pagecache but page_list has pages that
    have not been added to the pagecache yet. This ends up with a general
    protection fault in put_pages after readpages. Fix it by not retrying
    the read of these pages and falling back to readpage instead.

    mm: numa: Do not mark PTEs pte_numa when splitting huge pages
    mm: migrate: Close race between migration completion and mprotect

    Linus Torvalds
     
  • This patch reverts 1ba6e0b50b ("mm: numa: split_huge_page: transfer the
    NUMA type from the pmd to the pte"). If a huge page is being split due
    a protection change and the tail will be in a PROT_NONE vma then NUMA
    hinting PTEs are temporarily created in the protected VMA.

    VM_RW|VM_PROTNONE
    |-----------------|
    ^
    split here

    In the specific case above, it should get fixed up by change_pte_range()
    but there is a window of opportunity for weirdness to happen. Similarly,
    if a huge page is shrunk and split during a protection update but before
    pmd_numa is cleared then a pte_numa can be left behind.

    Instead of adding complexity trying to deal with the case, this patch
    will not mark PTEs NUMA when splitting a huge page. NUMA hinting faults
    will not be triggered which is marginal in comparison to the complexity
    in dealing with the corner cases during THP split.

  • A migration entry is marked as write if pte_write was true at the time the
    entry was created. The VMA protections are not double checked when migration
    entries are being removed as mprotect marks write-migration-entries as
    read. It means that potentially we take a spurious fault to mark PTEs write
    again but it's straight-forward. However, there is a race between write
    migrations being marked read and migrations finishing. This potentially
    allows a PTE to be write that should have been read. Close this race by
    double checking the VMA permissions using maybe_mkwrite when migration
    completes.

  • It has come to my attention (thanks Martin) that 'discard_zeroes_data'
    is only a hint. Some devices in some cases don't do what it
    says on the label.

    The use of DISCARD in RAID5 depends on reads from discarded regions
    being predictably zero. If a write to a previously discarded region
    performs a read-modify-write cycle it assumes that the parity block
    was consistent with the data blocks. If all were zero, this would
    be the case. If some are and some aren't this would not be the case.
    This could lead to data corruption after a device failure when
    data needs to be reconstructed from the parity.

    As we cannot trust 'discard_zeroes_data', ignore it by default
    and so disallow DISCARD on all raid4/5/6 arrays.

    As many devices are trustworthy, and as there are benefits to using
    DISCARD, add a module parameter to over-ride this caution and cause
    DISCARD to work if discard_zeroes_data is set.

    If a site want to enable DISCARD on some arrays but not on others they
    should select DISCARD support at the filesystem level, and set the
    raid456 module parameter.
    raid456.devices_handle_discard_safely=Y

    As this is a data-safety issue, I believe this patch is suitable for
    -stable.
    DISCARD support for RAID456 was added in 3.7

  • Linus commit 05c63c2ff23a80b654d6c088ac3ba21628db0173 modified the
    runtime suspend/resume paths to skip over display-related tasks to
    avoid locking issues on resume.

    Unfortunately, this resulted in the display hardware being left in
    a partially initialised state, preventing subsequent modesets from
    completing.

    This commit unifies the (many) suspend/resume paths, bringing back
    display (and fbcon) handling in the runtime paths.

  • Preparation for some runtime pm fixes. Currently we skip over fbcon
    suspend/resume in the runtime path, which causes issues on resume if
    fbcon tries to write to the framebuffer before the BAR subdev has
    been resumed to restore the BAR1 VM setup.

    As we might be woken up via a sysfs connector, we are unable to call
    fb_set_suspend() in the resume path as it could make its way down to
    a modeset and cause all sorts of locking hilarity.

    To solve this, we'll just delay the fbcon resume to a workqueue.
