Pull xfs fixes from Dave Chinner:
"This update fixes a warning in the new pagecache_isize_extended() and
updates some related comments, another fix for zero-range
misbehaviour, and an unforntuately large set of fixes for regressions
in the bulkstat code.The bulkstat fixes are large but necessary. I wouldn't normally push
such a rework for a -rcX update, but right now xfsdump can silently
create incomplete dumps on 3.17 and it's possible that even xfsrestore
won't notice that the dumps were incomplete. Hence we need to get
this update into 3.17-stable kernels ASAP.In more detail, the refactoring work I committed in 3.17 has exposed a
major hole in our QA coverage. With both xfsdump (the major user of
bulkstat) and xfsrestore silently ignoring missing files in the
dump/restore process, incomplete dumps were going unnoticed if they
were being triggered. Many of the dump/restore filesets were so small
that they didn't evenhave a chance of triggering the loop iteration
bugs we introduced in 3.17, so we didn't exercise the code
sufficiently, either.We have already taken steps to improve QA coverage in xfstests to
avoid this happening again, and I've done a lot of manual verification
of dump/restore on very large data sets (tens of millions of inodes)
of the past week to verify this patch set results in bulkstat behaving
the same way as it does on 3.16.Unfortunately, the fixes are not exactly simple - in tracking down the
problem historic API warts were discovered (e.g xfsdump has been
working around a 20 year old bug in the bulkstat API for the past 10
years) and so that complicated the process of diagnosing and fixing
the problems. i.e. we had to fix bugs in the code as well as
discover and re-introduce the userspace visible API bugs that we
unwittingly "fixed" in 3.17 that xfsdump relied on to work correctly.Summary:
- incorrect warnings about i_mutex locking in pagecache_isize_extended()
and updates comments to match expected locking
- another zero-range bug fix for stray file size updates
- a bunch of fixes for regression in the bulkstat code introduced in

The SLUB cache merges caches with the same size and alignment and there
was long standing bug with this behavior:- create the cache named "foo"
- create the cache named "bar" (which is merged with "foo")
- delete the cache named "foo" (but it stays allocated because "bar"
uses it)
- create the cache named "foo" again - it fails because the name "foo"
is already usedThat bug was fixed in commit 694617474e33 ("slab_common: fix the check
for duplicate slab names") by not warning on duplicate cache names when
the SLUB subsystem is used.Recently, cache merging was implemented the with SLAB subsystem too, in
12220dea07f1 ("mm/slab: support slab merge")). Therefore we need stop
checking for duplicate names even for the SLAB subsystem.This patch fixes the bug by removing the check.

Commit 0a31bc97c80c ("mm: memcontrol: rewrite uncharge API") changed
page migration to uncharge the old page right away. The page is locked,
unmapped, truncated, and off the LRU, but it could race with writeback
ending, which then doesn't unaccount the page properly:test_clear_page_writeback() migration
wait_on_page_writeback()
TestClearPageWriteback()
mem_cgroup_migrate()
clear PCG_USED
mem_cgroup_update_page_stat()
if (PageCgroupUsed(pc))
decrease memcg pages under writebackrelease pc->mem_cgroup->move_lock
The per-page statistics interface is heavily optimized to avoid a
function call and a lookup_page_cgroup() in the file unmap fast path,
which means it doesn't verify whether a page is still charged before
clearing PageWriteback() and it has to do it in the stat update later.Rework it so that it looks up the page's memcg once at the beginning of
the transaction and then uses it throughout. The charge will be
verified before clearing PageWriteback() and migration can't uncharge
the page as long as that is still set. The RCU lock will protect the
memcg past uncharge.As far as losing the optimization goes, the following test results are
from a microbenchmark that maps, faults, and unmaps a 4GB sparse file
three times in a nested fashion, so that there are two negative passes
that don't account but still go through the new transaction overhead.
There is no actual difference:old: 33.195102545 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.01% )

If an anonymous mapping is not allowed to fault thp memory and then
madvise(MADV_HUGEPAGE) is used after fault, khugepaged will never
collapse this memory into thp memory.This occurs because the madvise(2) handler for thp, hugepage_madvise(),
clears VM_NOHUGEPAGE on the stack and it isn't stored in vma->vm_flags
until the final action of madvise_behavior(). This causes the
khugepaged_enter_vma_merge() to be a no-op in hugepage_madvise() when
the vma had previously had VM_NOHUGEPAGE set.Fix this by passing the correct vma flags to the khugepaged mm slot
handler. There's no chance khugepaged can run on this vma until after
madvise_behavior() returns since we hold mm->mmap_sem.It would be possible to clear VM_NOHUGEPAGE directly from vma->vm_flags
in hugepage_advise(), but I didn't want to introduce special case
behavior into madvise_behavior(). I think it's best to just let it
always set vma->vm_flags itself.Signed-off-by: David Rientjes

HPAGE_PMD_ORDER in our case. Some people would argue the latter is
faster but I prefer the former which is more general.This bug was observed not just on our servers (the worst case we saw is
11G leaked on a 48G machine) but also on our workstations running Ubuntu

Commit edc2ca612496 ("mm, compaction: move pageblock checks up from

and make them use isolate_migratepages_block().isolate_migratepages_block() could stop the execution when enough pages
are isolated, but, there is no code in isolate_migratepages_range() to
handle this case. In the result, even if isolate_migratepages_block()
returns prematurely without checking all pages in the range,isolate_migratepages_block() is called repeately on the following
pageblock and some pages in the previous range are skipped to check.
Then, CMA is failed frequently due to this fact.To fix this problem, this patch let isolate_migratepages_range() know
the situation that enough pages are isolated and stop the isolation in
that case.Note that isolate_migratepages() has no such problem, because, it always
stops the isolation after just one call of isolate_migratepages_block().Signed-off-by: Joonsoo Kim

When unmapping a range of pages in zap_pte_range, the page being
unmapped is added to an mmu_gather_batch structure for asynchronous
freeing. If we run out of space in the batch structure before the range
has been completely unmapped, then we break out of the loop, force a
TLB flush and free the pages that we have batched so far. If there are
further pages to unmap, then we resume the loop where we left off.Unfortunately, we forget to update addr when we break out of the loop,
which causes us to truncate the range being invalidated as the end
address is exclusive. When we re-enter the loop at the same address, the
page has already been freed and the pte_present test will fail, meaning
that we do not reconsider the address for invalidation.This patch fixes the problem by incrementing addr by the PAGE_SIZE
before breaking out of the loop on batch failure.Signed-off-by: Will Deacon

Commit 95b0e655f914 ("ARM: mm: don't limit default CMA region only to

memory. It relied on commit f7426b983a6a ("mm: cma: adjust address limit
to avoid hitting low/high memory boundary") to ensure that the reserved
block never crossed the low/high memory boundary. While the
implementation correctly lowered the limit, it failed to consider the
case where the base..limit range crossed the low/high memory boundary
with enough space on each side to reserve the requested size on either
low or high memory.Rework the base and limit adjustment to fix the problem. The function
now starts by rejecting the reservation altogether for fixed
reservations that cross the boundary, tries to reserve from high memory
first and then falls back to low memory.Signed-off-by: Laurent Pinchart

Pull ACPI and power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"This is material that didn't make it to my 3.18-rc1 pull request for
various reasons, mostly related to timing and travel (LinuxCon EU /
LPC) plus a couple of fixes for recent bugs.The only really new thing here is the PM QoS class for memory
bandwidth, but it is simple enough and users of it will be added in

enumerated by ACPI will use 32-bit DMA mask by default. Also included
is an ACPICA update to a new upstream release, but that's mostly
cleanups, changes in tools and similar. The rest is fixes and
cleanups mostly.Specifics:

fact that some IRQ chips might not be able to configure PCIe PME

the freezer that frozen processes killed by the OOM do not actually
release any memory until they are thawed, so OOM-killing them is

Cong Wang, Rafael J Wysocki).- ACPICA update to upstream release 20140926, inlcuding mostly
cleanups reducing differences between the upstream ACPICA and the
kernel code, tools changes (acpidump, acpiexec) and support for the
_DDN object (Bob Moore, Lv Zheng).- New PM QoS class for memory bandwidth from Tomeu Vizoso.

PM freezer relies on having all tasks frozen by the time devices are
getting frozen so that no task will touch them while they are getting
frozen. But OOM killer is allowed to kill an already frozen task in
order to handle OOM situtation. In order to protect from late wake ups
OOM killer is disabled after all tasks are frozen. This, however, still
keeps a window open when a killed task didn't manage to die by the time
freeze_processes finishes.Reduce the race window by checking all tasks after OOM killer has been
disabled. This is still not race free completely unfortunately because
oom_killer_disable cannot stop an already ongoing OOM killer so a task
might still wake up from the fridge and get killed without
freeze_processes noticing. Full synchronization of OOM and freezer is,
however, too heavy weight for this highly unlikely case.Introduce and check oom_kills counter which gets incremented early when
the allocator enters __alloc_pages_may_oom path and only check all the
tasks if the counter changes during the freezing attempt. The counter
is updated so early to reduce the race window since allocator checked
oom_killer_disabled which is set by PM-freezing code. A false positive
will push the PM-freezer into a slow path but that is not a big deal.Changes since v1
- push the re-check loop out of freeze_processes into
check_frozen_processes and invert the condition to make the code more
readable as per RafaelFixes: f660daac474c6f (oom: thaw threads if oom killed thread is frozen before deferring)

For VMAs that don't want write notifications, PTEs created for read faults
have their write bit set. If the read fault happens after VM_SOFTDIRTY is
cleared, then the PTE's softdirty bit will remain clear after subsequent
writes.Here's a simple code snippet to demonstrate the bug:
char* m = mmap(NULL, getpagesize(), PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_SHARED, -1, 0);
system("echo 4 > /proc/$PPID/clear_refs"); /* clear VM_SOFTDIRTY */
assert(*m == '\0'); /* new PTE allows write access */
assert(!soft_dirty(x));
*m = 'x'; /* should dirty the page */
assert(soft_dirty(x)); /* fails */With this patch, write notifications are enabled when VM_SOFTDIRTY is
cleared. Furthermore, to avoid unnecessary faults, write notifications
are disabled when VM_SOFTDIRTY is set.As a side effect of enabling and disabling write notifications with
care, this patch fixes a bug in mprotect where vm_page_prot bits set by
drivers were zapped on mprotect. An analogous bug was fixed in mmap by

The current cma bitmap aligned mask computation is incorrect. It could
cause an unexpected alignment when using cma_alloc() if the wanted align
order is larger than cma->order_per_bit.Take kvm for example (PAGE_SHIFT = 12), kvm_cma->order_per_bit is set to
6. When kvm_alloc_rma() tries to alloc kvm_rma_pages, it will use 15 as
the expected align value. After using the current implementation however,
we get 0 as cma bitmap aligned mask other than 511.This patch fixes the cma bitmap aligned mask calculation.

Commit bf0dea23a9c0 ("mm/slab: use percpu allocator for cpu cache")
changed the allocation method for cpu cache array from slab allocator to
percpu allocator. Alignment should be provided for aligned memory in
percpu allocator case, but, that commit mistakenly set this alignment to
0. So, percpu allocator returns unaligned memory address. It doesn't
cause any problem on x86 which permits unaligned access, but, it causes
the problem on sparc64 which needs strong guarantee of alignment.Following bug report is reported from David Miller.
I'm getting tons of the following on sparc64:
[603965.383447] Kernel unaligned access at TPC[546b58] free_block+0x98/0x1a0
[603965.396987] Kernel unaligned access at TPC[546b60] free_block+0xa0/0x1a0
...
[603970.554394] log_unaligned: 333 callbacks suppressed
...This patch provides a proper alignment parameter when allocating cpu
cache to fix this unaligned memory access problem on sparc64.Reported-by: David Miller

Pull percpu updates from Tejun Heo:
"A lot of activities on percpu front. Notable changes are...- percpu allocator now can take @gfp. If @gfp doesn't contain
GFP_KERNEL, it tries to allocate from what's already available to
the allocator and a work item tries to keep the reserve around
certain level so that these atomic allocations usually succeed.This will replace the ad-hoc percpu memory pool used by
blk-throttle and also be used by the planned blkcg support for
writeback IOs.Please note that I noticed a bug in how @gfp is interpreted while
preparing this pull request and applied the fix 6ae833c7fe0c
("percpu: fix how @gfp is interpreted by the percpu allocator")
just now.- percpu_ref now uses longs for percpu and global counters instead of
ints. It leads to more sparse packing of the percpu counters on
64bit machines but the overhead should be negligible and this
allows using percpu_ref for refcnting pages and in-memory objects
directly.- The switching between percpu and single counter modes of a
percpu_ref is made independent of putting the base ref and a
percpu_ref can now optionally be initialized in single or killed
mode. This allows avoiding percpu shutdown latency for cases where
the refcounted objects may be synchronously created and destroyed
in rapid succession with only a fraction of them reaching fully
operational status (SCSI probing does this when combined with
blk-mq support). It's also planned to be used to implement forced
single mode to detect underflow more timely for debugging.There's a separate branch percpu/for-3.18-consistent-ops which cleans
up the duplicate percpu accessors. That branch causes a number of
conflicts with s390 and other trees. I'll send a separate pull
request w/ resolutions once other branches are merged"* 'for-3.18' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/percpu: (33 commits)

For now, there are NCHUNKS of 64 freelists in zbud_pool, the last
unbuddied[63] freelist linked with all zbud pages which have free chunks
of 63. Calculating according to context of num_free_chunks(), our max
chunk number of unbuddied zbud page is 62, so none of zbud pages will be
added/removed in last freelist, but still we will try to find an unbuddied
zbud page in the last unused freelist, it is unneeded.This patch redefines NCHUNKS to 63 as free chunk number in one zbud page,
hence we can decrease size of zpool and avoid accessing the last unused
freelist whenever failing to allocate zbud from freelist in zbud_alloc.Signed-off-by: Chao Yu

Change zsmalloc init_zspage() logic to iterate through each object on each
of its pages, checking the offset to verify the object is on the current
page before linking it into the zspage.The current zsmalloc init_zspage free object linking code has logic that
relies on there only being one page per zspage when PAGE_SIZE is a
multiple of class->size. It calculates the number of objects for the
current page, and iterates through all of them plus one, to account for
the assumed partial object at the end of the page. While this currently
works, the logic can be simplified to just link the object at each
successive offset until the offset is larger than PAGE_SIZE, which does
not rely on PAGE_SIZE being a multiple of class->size.Signed-off-by: Dan Streetman
