mm/mempolicy.c: fix error handling in set_mempolicy and mbind.

2017-04-12T10:38:35+00:00

commit cf01fb9985e8deb25ccf0ea54d916b8871ae0e62 upstream.

In the case that compat_get_bitmap fails we do not want to copy the
bitmap to the user as it will contain uninitialized stack data and leak
sensitive data.

mm, hugetlb: use pte_present() instead of pmd_present() in follow_huge_pmd()

2017-04-08T07:53:32+00:00

commit c9d398fa237882ea07167e23bcfc5e6847066518 upstream.

I found the race condition which triggers the following bug when
move_pages() and soft offline are called on a single hugetlb page
concurrently.

    Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception
    Kernel Offset: disabled

This bug is triggered when pmd_present() returns true for non-present
hugetlb, so fixing the present check in follow_huge_pmd() prevents it.
Using pmd_present() to determine present/non-present for hugetlb is not
correct, because pmd_present() checks multiple bits (not only
_PAGE_PRESENT) for historical reason and it can misjudge hugetlb state.

mm: memcontrol: avoid unused function warning

2017-03-18T11:09:57+00:00

commit 358c07fcc3b60ab08d77f1684de8bd81bcf49a1a upstream.

A bugfix in v4.8-rc2 introduced a harmless warning when
CONFIG_MEMCG_SWAP is disabled but CONFIG_MEMCG is enabled:

  mm/memcontrol.c:4085:27: error: 'mem_cgroup_id_get_online' defined but not used [-Werror=unused-function]
   static struct mem_cgroup *mem_cgroup_id_get_online(struct mem_cgroup *memcg)

This moves the function inside of the #ifdef block that hides the
calling function, to avoid the warning.

mm: do not access page->mapping directly on page_endio

2017-03-12T05:37:25+00:00

commit dd8416c47715cf324c9a16f13273f9fda87acfed upstream.

With rw_page, page_endio is used for completing IO on a page and it
propagates write error to the address space if the IO fails.  The
problem is it accesses page->mapping directly which might be okay for
file-backed pages but it shouldn't for anonymous page.  Otherwise, it
can corrupt one of field from anon_vma under us and system goes panic
randomly.

swap_writepage
  bdev_writepage
    ops->rw_page

I encountered the BUG during developing new zram feature and it was
really hard to figure it out because it made random crash, somtime
mmap_sem lockdep, sometime other places where places never related to
zram/zsmalloc, and not reproducible with some configuration.

When I consider how that bug is subtle and people do fast-swap test with
brd, it's worth to add stable mark, I think.

mm: vmpressure: fix sending wrong events on underflow

2017-03-12T05:37:25+00:00

commit e1587a4945408faa58d0485002c110eb2454740c upstream.

At the end of a window period, if the reclaimed pages is greater than
scanned, an unsigned underflow can result in a huge pressure value and
thus a critical event.  Reclaimed pages is found to go higher than
scanned because of the addition of reclaimed slab pages to reclaimed in
shrink_node without a corresponding increment to scanned pages.

Minchan Kim mentioned that this can also happen in the case of a THP
page where the scanned is 1 and reclaimed could be 512.

mm/page_alloc: fix nodes for reclaim in fast path

2017-03-12T05:37:25+00:00

commit e02dc017c3032dcdce1b993af0db135462e1b4b7 upstream.

When @node_reclaim_node isn't 0, the page allocator tries to reclaim
pages if the amount of free memory in the zones are below the low
watermark.  On Power platform, none of NUMA nodes are scanned for page
reclaim because no nodes match the condition in zone_allows_reclaim().
On Power platform, RECLAIM_DISTANCE is set to 10 which is the distance
of Node-A to Node-A.  So the preferred node even won't be scanned for
page reclaim.

   __alloc_pages_nodemask()
   get_page_from_freelist()
      zone_allows_reclaim()

Anton proposed the test code as below:

   # cat alloc.c
      :
   int main(int argc, char *argv[])
   {
	void *p;
	unsigned long size;
	unsigned long start, end;

	start = time(NULL);
	size = strtoul(argv[1], NULL, 0);
	printf("To allocate %ldGB memory\n", size);

	size <<= 30;
	p = malloc(size);
	assert(p);
	memset(p, 0, size);

	end = time(NULL);
	printf("Used time: %ld seconds\n", end - start);
	sleep(3600);
	return 0;
   }

The system I use for testing has two NUMA nodes.  Both have 128GB
memory.  In below scnario, the page caches on node#0 should be reclaimed
when it encounters pressure to accommodate request of allocation.

   # echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/zone_reclaim_mode; \
     sync; \
     echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches; \
   # taskset -c 0 cat file.32G > /dev/null; \
     grep FilePages /sys/devices/system/node/node0/meminfo
     Node 0 FilePages:       33619712 kB
   # taskset -c 0 ./alloc 128
   # grep FilePages /sys/devices/system/node/node0/meminfo
     Node 0 FilePages:       33619840 kB
   # grep MemFree /sys/devices/system/node/node0/meminfo
     Node 0 MemFree:          186816 kB

With the patch applied, the pagecache on node-0 is reclaimed when its
free memory is running out.  It's the expected behaviour.

   # echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/zone_reclaim_mode; \
     sync; \
     echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
   # taskset -c 0 cat file.32G > /dev/null; \
     grep FilePages /sys/devices/system/node/node0/meminfo
     Node 0 FilePages:       33605568 kB
   # taskset -c 0 ./alloc 128
   # grep FilePages /sys/devices/system/node/node0/meminfo
     Node 0 FilePages:        1379520 kB
   # grep MemFree /sys/devices/system/node/node0/meminfo
     Node 0 MemFree:           317120 kB

block: fix double-free in the failure path of cgwb_bdi_init()

2017-02-26T10:07:51+00:00

commit 5f478e4ea5c5560b4e40eb136991a09f9389f331 upstream.

When !CONFIG_CGROUP_WRITEBACK, bdi has single bdi_writeback_congested
at bdi->wb_congested.  cgwb_bdi_init() allocates it with kzalloc() and
doesn't do further initialization.  This usually works fine as the
reference count gets bumped to 1 by wb_init() and the put from
wb_exit() releases it.

However, when wb_init() fails, it puts the wb base ref automatically
freeing the wb and the explicit kfree() in cgwb_bdi_init() error path
ends up trying to free the same pointer the second time causing a
double-free.

Fix it by explicitly initilizing the refcnt to 1 and putting the base
ref from cgwb_bdi_destroy().

base/memory, hotplug: fix a kernel oops in show_valid_zones()

2017-02-09T07:02:47+00:00

commit a96dfddbcc04336bbed50dc2b24823e45e09e80c upstream.

Reading a sysfs "memoryN/valid_zones" file leads to the following oops
when the first page of a range is not backed by struct page.
show_valid_zones() assumes that 'start_pfn' is always valid for
page_zone().

 BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffea017a000000
 IP: show_valid_zones+0x6f/0x160

This issue may happen on x86-64 systems with 64GiB or more memory since
their memory block size is bumped up to 2GiB.  [1] An example of such
systems is desribed below.  0x3240000000 is only aligned by 1GiB and
this memory block starts from 0x3200000000, which is not backed by
struct page.

 BIOS-e820: [mem 0x0000003240000000-0x000000603fffffff] usable

Since test_pages_in_a_zone() already checks holes, fix this issue by
extending this function to return 'valid_start' and 'valid_end' for a
given range.  show_valid_zones() then proceeds with the valid range.

mm, fs: check for fatal signals in do_generic_file_read()

2017-02-09T07:02:46+00:00

commit 5abf186a30a89d5b9c18a6bf93a2c192c9fd52f6 upstream.

do_generic_file_read() can be told to perform a large request from
userspace.  If the system is under OOM and the reading task is the OOM
victim then it has an access to memory reserves and finishing the full
request can lead to the full memory depletion which is dangerous.  Make
sure we rather go with a short read and allow the killed task to
terminate.
