Pull ARM DMA engine updates from Russell King:
"This looks scary at first glance, but what it is is:
- a rework of the sa11x0 DMA engine driver merged during the previous
cycle, to extract a common set of helper functions for DMA engine
implementations.
- conversion of amba-pl08x.c to use these helper functions.
- addition of OMAP DMA engine driver (using these helper functions),
and conversion of some of the OMAP DMA users to use DMA engine.
Nothing in the helper functions is ARM specific, so I hope that other
implementations can consolidate some of their code by making use of
these helpers.
This has been sitting in linux-next most of the merge cycle, and has
been tested by several OMAP folk. I've tested it on sa11x0 platforms,
and given it my best shot on my broken platforms which have the
amba-pl08x controller.
The last point is the addition to feature-removal-schedule.txt, which
will have a merge conflict. Between myself and TI, we're planning to
remove the old TI DMA implementation next year."

Add a new operation code (BLKPG_RESIZE_PARTITION) to the BLKPG ioctl that
allows altering the size of an existing partition, even if it is currently
in use.
This patch converts hd_struct->nr_sects into sequence counter because
One might extend a partition while IO is happening to it and update of
nr_sects can be non-atomic on 32bit machines with 64bit sector_t. This
can lead to issues like reading inconsistent size of a partition. Sequence
counter have been used so that readers don't have to take bdev mutex lock
as we call sector_in_part() very frequently.
Now all the access to hd_struct->nr_sects should happen using sequence
counter read/update helper functions part_nr_sects_read/part_nr_sects_write.
There is one exception though, set_capacity()/get_capacity(). I think
theoritically race should exist there too but this patch does not
modify set_capacity()/get_capacity() due to sheer number of call sites
and I am afraid that change might break something. I have left that as a
TODO item. We can handle it later if need be. This patch does not introduce
any new races as such w.r.t set_capacity()/get_capacity().
v2: Add CONFIG_LBDAF test to UP preempt case as suggested by Phillip.

Hi,
I'm using the old-fashioned 'dump' backup tool, and I noticed that it spews the
below warning as of 3.5-rc1 and later (3.4 is fine):
[ 10.886893] ------------[ cut here ]------------

Reproducing is easy, I can hit it on a KVM system with a very basic
config (x86_64 make defconfig + enable the drivers needed). To hit it,
just install dump (on debian/ubuntu, not sure what the package might be
called on Fedora), and:
dump -o -f /tmp/foo /
You'll see the warning in dmesg once it forks off the I/O process and
starts dumping filesystem contents.
I bisected it down to the following commit:
commit f6e8d01bee036460e03bd4f6a79d014f98ba712e

block: add io_context->active_ref
Currently ioc->nr_tasks is used to decide two things - whether an ioc
is done issuing IOs and whether it's shared by multiple tasks. This
patch separate out the first into ioc->active_ref, which is acquired
and released using {get|put}_io_context_active() respectively.
This will be used to associate bio's with a given task. This patch
doesn't introduce any visible behavior change.

It seems like the init of ioc->nr_tasks was removed in that patch,
so it starts out at 0 instead of 1.
Tejun, is the right thing here to add back the init, or should something else
be done?
The below patch removes the warning, but I haven't done any more extensive
testing on it.

blk_set_stacking_limits is intended to allow stacking drivers to build
up the limits of the stacked device based on the underlying devices'
limits. But defaulting 'max_sectors' to BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS (1024)
doesn't allow the stacking driver to inherit a max_sectors larger than
1024 -- due to blk_stack_limits' use of min_not_zero.
It is now clear that this artificial limit is getting in the way so
change blk_set_stacking_limits's max_sectors to UINT_MAX (which allows
stacking drivers like dm-multipath to inherit 'max_sectors' from the
underlying paths).

uac_clock_source_is_valid() uses the control selector value to access
the bmControls bitmap of the clock source unit. This is wrong, as
control selector values start from 1, while the bitmap uses all
available bits.
In other words, "Clock Validity Control" is stored in D3..2, not D5..4
of the clock selector unit's bmControls.

Pull irqdomain changes from Grant Likely:
"Round of refactoring and enhancements to irq_domain infrastructure.
This series starts the process of simplifying irqdomain. The ultimate
goal is to merge LEGACY, LINEAR and TREE mappings into a single
system, but had to back off from that after some last minute bugs.
Instead it mainly reorganizes the code and ensures that the reverse
map gets populated when the irq is mapped instead of the first time it
is looked up.
Merging of the irq_domain types is deferred to v3.7
In other news, this series adds helpers for creating static mappings
on a linear or tree mapping."

Pull VFIO core from Alex Williamson:
"This series includes the VFIO userspace driver interface for the 3.6
kernel merge window. This driver is intended to provide a secure
interface for device access using IOMMU protection for applications
like assignment of physical devices to virtual machines.
Qemu will be the first user of this interface, enabling assignment of
PCI devices to Qemu guests. This interface is intended to eventually
replace the x86-specific assignment mechanism currently available in
KVM.
This interface has the advantage of being more secure, by working with
IOMMU groups to ensure device isolation and providing it's own
filtered resource access mechanism, and also more flexible, in not
being x86 or KVM specific (extensions to enable POWER are already
working).
This driver is originally the work of Tom Lyon, but has since been
handed over to me and gone through a complete overhaul thanks to the
input from David Gibson, Ben Herrenschmidt, Chris Wright, Joerg
Roedel, and others. This driver has been available in linux-next for
the last month."

If a process creates a large hugetlbfs mapping that is eligible for page
table sharing and forks heavily with children some of whom fault and
others which destroy the mapping then it is possible for page tables to
get corrupted. Some teardowns of the mapping encounter a "bad pmd" and
output a message to the kernel log. The final teardown will trigger a
BUG_ON in mm/filemap.c.
This was reproduced in 3.4 but is known to have existed for a long time
and goes back at least as far as 2.6.37. It was probably was introduced
in 2.6.20 by [39dde65c: shared page table for hugetlb page]. The messages
look like this;

The bug is a race and not always easy to reproduce. To reproduce it I was
doing the following on a single socket I7-based machine with 16G of RAM.
$ hugeadm --pool-pages-max DEFAULT:13G
$ echo $((18*1048576*1024)) > /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax
$ echo $((18*1048576*1024)) > /proc/sys/kernel/shmall
$ for i in `seq 1 9000`; do ./hugetlbfs-test; done
On my particular machine, it usually triggers within 10 minutes but
enabling debug options can change the timing such that it never hits.
Once the bug is triggered, the machine is in trouble and needs to be
rebooted. The machine will respond but processes accessing proc like "ps
aux" will hang due to the BUG_ON. shutdown will also hang and needs a
hard reset or a sysrq-b.
The basic problem is a race between page table sharing and teardown. For
the most part page table sharing depends on i_mmap_mutex. In some cases,
it is also taking the mm->page_table_lock for the PTE updates but with
shared page tables, it is the i_mmap_mutex that is more important.
Unfortunately it appears to be also insufficient. Consider the following
situation
Process A Process B
--------- ---------
hugetlb_fault shmdt
LockWrite(mmap_sem)
do_munmap
unmap_region
unmap_vmas
unmap_single_vma
unmap_hugepage_range
Lock(i_mmap_mutex)
Lock(mm->page_table_lock)
huge_pmd_unshare/unmap tables <--- (1)
Unlock(mm->page_table_lock)
Unlock(i_mmap_mutex)
huge_pte_alloc ...
Lock(i_mmap_mutex) ...
vma_prio_walk, find svma, spte ...
Lock(mm->page_table_lock) ...
share spte ...
Unlock(mm->page_table_lock) ...
Unlock(i_mmap_mutex) ...
hugetlb_no_page <--- (2)
free_pgtables
unlink_file_vma
hugetlb_free_pgd_range
remove_vma_list
In this scenario, it is possible for Process A to share page tables with
Process B that is trying to tear them down. The i_mmap_mutex on its own
does not prevent Process A walking Process B's page tables. At (1) above,
the page tables are not shared yet so it unmaps the PMDs. Process A sets
up page table sharing and at (2) faults a new entry. Process B then trips
up on it in free_pgtables.
This patch fixes the problem by adding a new function
__unmap_hugepage_range_final that is only called when the VMA is about to
be destroyed. This function clears VM_MAYSHARE during
unmap_hugepage_range() under the i_mmap_mutex. This makes the VMA
ineligible for sharing and avoids the race. Superficially this looks like
it would then be vunerable to truncate and madvise issues but hugetlbfs
has its own truncate handlers so does not use unmap_mapping_range() and
does not support madvise(DONTNEED).
This should be treated as a -stable candidate if it is merged.
Test program is as follows. The test case was mostly written by Michal
Hocko with a few minor changes to reproduce this bug.

When tmpfs has the interleave memory policy, it always starts allocating
for each file from node 0 at offset 0. When there are many small files,
the lower nodes fill up disproportionately.
This patch spreads out node usage by starting files at nodes other than 0,
by using the inode number to bias the starting node for interleave.

Warn if memory-hotplug/boot code doesn't initialize pg_data_t with zero
when it is allocated. Arch code and memory hotplug already initiailize
pg_data_t. So this warning should never happen. I select fields randomly
near the beginning, middle and end of pg_data_t for checking.
This patch isn't for performance but for removing initialization code
which is necessary to add whenever we adds new field to pg_data_t or zone.
Firstly, Andrew suggested clearing out of pg_data_t in MM core part but
Tejun doesn't like it because in the future, some archs can initialize
some fields in arch code and pass them into general MM part so blindly
clearing it out in mm core part would be very annoying.

I noticed in a multi-process parallel files reading benchmark I ran on a 8
socket machine, throughput slowed down by a factor of 8 when I ran the
benchmark within a cgroup container. I traced the problem to the
following code path (see below) when we are trying to reclaim memory from
file cache. The res_counter_uncharge function is called on every page
that's reclaimed and created heavy lock contention. The patch below
allows the reclaimed pages to be uncharged from the resource counter in
batch and recovered the regression.

sparse_index_init() uses the index_init_lock spinlock to protect root
mem_section assignment. The lock is not necessary anymore because the
function is called only during boot (during paging init which is executed
only from a single CPU) and from the hotplug code (by add_memory() via
arch_add_memory()) which uses mem_hotplug_mutex.
The lock was introduced by 28ae55c9 ("sparsemem extreme: hotplug
preparation") and sparse_index_init() was used only during boot at that
time.
Later when the hotplug code (and add_memory()) was introduced there was no
synchronization so it was possible to online more sections from the same
root probably (though I am not 100% sure about that). The first
synchronization has been added by 6ad696d2 ("mm: allow memory hotplug and
hibernation in the same kernel") which was later replaced by the
mem_hotplug_mutex - 20d6c96b ("mem-hotplug: introduce
{un}lock_memory_hotplug()").
Let's remove the lock as it is not needed and it makes the code more
confusing.

slab, let slab/bootmem allocator clear the memory chunk. We needn't clear
it explicitly.

The may_enter_fs test turns out to be too restrictive: though I saw no
problem with it when testing on 3.5-rc6, it very soon OOMed when I tested
on 3.5-rc6-mm1. I don't know what the difference there is, perhaps I just
slightly changed the way I started off the testing: dd if=/dev/zero
of=/mnt/temp bs=1M count=1024; rm -f /mnt/temp; sync repeatedly, in 20M
memory.limit_in_bytes cgroup to ext4 on USB stick.
ext4 (and gfs2 and xfs) turn out to allocate new pages for writing with
AOP_FLAG_NOFS: that seems a little worrying, and it's unclear to me why
the transaction needs to be started even before allocating pagecache
memory. But it may not be worth worrying about these days: if direct
reclaim avoids FS writeback, does __GFP_FS now mean anything?
Anyway, we insisted on the may_enter_fs test to avoid hangs with the loop
device; but since that also masks off __GFP_IO, we can test for __GFP_IO
directly, ignoring may_enter_fs and __GFP_FS.
But even so, the test still OOMs sometimes: when originally testing on
3.5-rc6, it OOMed about one time in five or ten; when testing just now on
3.5-rc6-mm1, it OOMed on the first iteration.
This residual problem comes from an accumulation of pages under ordinary
writeback, not marked PageReclaim, so rightly not causing the memcg check
to wait on their writeback: these too can prevent shrink_page_list() from
freeing any pages, so many times that memcg reclaim fails and OOMs.
Deal with these in the same way as direct reclaim now deals with dirty FS
pages: mark them PageReclaim. It is appropriate to rotate these to tail
of list when writepage completes, but more importantly, the PageReclaim
flag makes memcg reclaim wait on them if encountered again. Increment
NR_VMSCAN_IMMEDIATE? That's arguable: I chose not.
Setting PageReclaim here may occasionally race with end_page_writeback()
clearing it: lru_deactivate_fn() already faced the same race, and
correctly concluded that the window is small and the issue non-critical.
With these changes, the test runs indefinitely without OOMing on ext4,
ext3 and ext2: I'll move on to test with other filesystems later.
Trivia: invert conditions for a clearer block without an else, and goto
keep_locked to do the unlock_page.

The current implementation of dirty pages throttling is not memcg aware
which makes it easy to have memcg LRUs full of dirty pages. Without
throttling, these LRUs can be scanned faster than the rate of writeback,
leading to memcg OOM conditions when the hard limit is small.
This patch fixes the problem by throttling the allocating process
(possibly a writer) during the hard limit reclaim by waiting on
PageReclaim pages. We are waiting only for PageReclaim pages because
those are the pages that made one full round over LRU and that means that
the writeback is much slower than scanning.
The solution is far from being ideal - long term solution is memcg aware
dirty throttling - but it is meant to be a band aid until we have a real
fix. We are seeing this happening during nightly backups which are placed
into containers to prevent from eviction of the real working set.
The change affects only memcg reclaim and only when we encounter
PageReclaim pages which is a signal that the reclaim doesn't catch up on
with the writers so somebody should be throttled. This could be
potentially unfair because it could be somebody else from the group who
gets throttled on behalf of the writer but as writers need to allocate as
well and they allocate in higher rate the probability that only innocent
processes would be penalized is not that high.
I have tested this change by a simple dd copying /dev/zero to tmpfs or
ext3 running under small memcg (1G copy under 5M, 60M, 300M and 2G
containers) and dd got killed by OOM killer every time. With the patch I
could run the dd with the same size under 5M controller without any OOM.
The issue is more visible with slower devices for output.

mmu_notifier_release() is called when the process is exiting. It will
delete all the mmu notifiers. But at this time the page belonging to the
process is still present in page tables and is present on the LRU list, so
this race will happen:
CPU 0 CPU 1
mmu_notifier_release: try_to_unmap:
hlist_del_init_rcu(&mn->hlist);
ptep_clear_flush_notify:
mmu nofifler not found
free page !!!!!!
/*
* At the point, the page has been
* freed, but it is still mapped in
* the secondary MMU.
*/
mn->ops->release(mn, mm);
Then the box is not stable and sometimes we can get this bug:
[ 738.075923] BUG: Bad page state in process migrate-perf pfn:03bec
[ 738.075931] page:ffffea00000efb00 count:0 mapcount:0 mapping: (null) index:0x8076
[ 738.075936] page flags: 0x20000000000014(referenced|dirty)
The same issue is present in mmu_notifier_unregister().
We can call ->release before deleting the notifier to ensure the page has
been unmapped from the secondary MMU before it is freed.

shmem knows for sure that the page is in swap cache when attempting to
charge a page, because the cache charge entry function has a check for it.
Only anon pages may be removed from swap cache already when trying to
charge their swapin.
Adjust the comment, though: '4969c11 mm: fix swapin race condition' added
a stable PageSwapCache check under the page lock in the do_swap_page()
before calling the memory controller, so it's unuse_pte()'s pte_same()
that may fail.

Only anon and shmem pages in the swap cache are attempted to be charged
multiple times, from every swap pte fault or from shmem_unuse(). No other
pages require checking PageCgroupUsed().
Charging pages in the swap cache is also serialized by the page lock, and
since both the try_charge and commit_charge are called under the same page
lock section, the PageCgroupUsed() check might as well happen before the
counter charging, let alone reclaim.

When shmem is charged upon swapin, it does not need to check twice whether
the memory controller is enabled.
Also, shmem pages do not have to be checked for everything that regular
anon pages have to be checked for, so let shmem use the internal version
directly and allow future patches to move around checks that are only
required when swapping in anon pages.

It does not matter to __mem_cgroup_try_charge() if the passed mm is NULL
or init_mm, it will charge the root memcg in either case.
Also fix up the comment in __mem_cgroup_try_charge() that claimed the
init_mm would be charged when no mm was passed. It's not really
incorrect, but confusing. Clarify that the root memcg is charged in this
case.
