commit f55fefd1a5a339b1bd08c120b93312d6eb64a9fb upstream.

The WARN_ON checking whether i_mutex is held in
pagecache_isize_extended() was wrong because some filesystems (e.g.
XFS) use different locks for serialization of truncates / writes. So
just remove the check.

commit 6d50e60cd2edb5a57154db5a6f64eef5aa59b751 upstream.

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-&gt;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-&gt;mmap_sem.

It would be possible to clear VM_NOHUGEPAGE directly from vma-&gt;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-&gt;vm_flags itself.

commit 401507d67d5c2854f5a88b3f93f64fc6f267bca5 upstream.

Commit ff7ee93f4715 ("cgroup/kmemleak: Annotate alloc_page() for cgroup
allocations") introduces kmemleak_alloc() for alloc_page_cgroup(), but
corresponding kmemleak_free() is missing, which makes kmemleak be
wrongly disabled after memory offlining.  Log is pasted at the end of
this commit message.

This patch add kmemleak_free() into free_page_cgroup().  During page
offlining, this patch removes corresponding entries in kmemleak rbtree.
After that, the freed memory can be allocated again by other subsystems
without killing kmemleak.

commit ce9ec37bddb633404a0c23e1acb181a264e7f7f2 upstream.

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.

<title>OOM, PM: OOM killed task shouldn't escape PM suspend</title>

commit 5695be142e203167e3cb515ef86a88424f3524eb upstream.

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 Rafael

<title>vfs: fix data corruption when blocksize &lt; pagesize for mmaped data</title>

commit 90a8020278c1598fafd071736a0846b38510309c upstream.

-&gt;page_mkwrite() is used by filesystems to allocate blocks under a page
which is becoming writeably mmapped in some process' address space. This
allows a filesystem to return a page fault if there is not enough space
available, user exceeds quota or similar problem happens, rather than
silently discarding data later when writepage is called.

However VFS fails to call -&gt;page_mkwrite() in all the cases where
filesystems need it when blocksize &lt; pagesize. For example when
blocksize = 1024, pagesize = 4096 the following is problematic:
  ftruncate(fd, 0);
  pwrite(fd, buf, 1024, 0);
  map = mmap(NULL, 1024, PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0);
  map[0] = 'a';       ----&gt; page_mkwrite() for index 0 is called
  ftruncate(fd, 10000); /* or even pwrite(fd, buf, 1, 10000) */
  mremap(map, 1024, 10000, 0);
  map[4095] = 'a';    ----&gt; no page_mkwrite() called

At the moment -&gt;page_mkwrite() is called, filesystem can allocate only
one block for the page because i_size == 1024. Otherwise it would create
blocks beyond i_size which is generally undesirable. But later at
-&gt;writepage() time, we also need to store data at offset 4095 but we
don't have block allocated for it.

This patch introduces a helper function filesystems can use to have
-&gt;page_mkwrite() called at all the necessary moments.

  map = mmap(NULL, 1024, PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0);
  map[0] = 'a';       ----&gt; page_mkwrite() for index 0 is called
  ftruncate(fd, 10000); /* or even pwrite(fd, buf, 1, 10000) */
  mremap(map, 1024, 10000, 0);
  map[4095] = 'a';    ----&gt; no page_mkwrite() called

At the moment -&gt;page_mkwrite() is called, filesystem can allocate only
one block for the page because i_size == 1024. Otherwise it would create
blocks beyond i_size which is generally undesirable. But later at
-&gt;writepage() time, we also need to store data at offset 4095 but we
don't have block allocated for it.

This patch introduces a helper function filesystems can use to have
-&gt;page_mkwrite() called at all the necessary moments.

commit bb2e226b3bef596dd56be97df655d857b4603923 upstream.

This reverts commit 3189eddbcafc ("percpu: free percpu allocation info for
uniprocessor system").

The commit causes a hang with a crisv32 image. This may be an architecture
problem, but at least for now the revert is necessary to be able to boot a
crisv32 image.

<title>mm: migrate: Close race between migration completion and mprotect</title>

commit d3cb8bf6081b8b7a2dabb1264fe968fd870fa595 upstream.

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.

commit b928095b0a7cff7fb9fcf4c706348ceb8ab2c295 upstream.

If overwriting an empty directory with rename, then need to drop the extra
nlink.

Test prog:

#include &lt;stdio.h&gt;
#include &lt;fcntl.h&gt;
#include &lt;err.h&gt;
#include &lt;sys/stat.h&gt;

int main(void)
{
	const char *test_dir1 = "test-dir1";
	const char *test_dir2 = "test-dir2";
	int res;
	int fd;
	struct stat statbuf;

	res = mkdir(test_dir1, 0777);
	if (res == -1)
		err(1, "mkdir(\"%s\")", test_dir1);

	res = mkdir(test_dir2, 0777);
	if (res == -1)
		err(1, "mkdir(\"%s\")", test_dir2);

	fd = open(test_dir2, O_RDONLY);
	if (fd == -1)
		err(1, "open(\"%s\")", test_dir2);

	res = rename(test_dir1, test_dir2);
	if (res == -1)
		err(1, "rename(\"%s\", \"%s\")", test_dir1, test_dir2);

	res = fstat(fd, &amp;statbuf);
	if (res == -1)
		err(1, "fstat(%i)", fd);

	if (statbuf.st_nlink != 0) {
		fprintf(stderr, "nlink is %lu, should be 0\n", statbuf.st_nlink);
		return 1;
	}

	return 0;
}

<title>cpuset: PF_SPREAD_PAGE and PF_SPREAD_SLAB should be atomic flags</title>

commit 2ad654bc5e2b211e92f66da1d819e47d79a866f0 upstream.

When we change cpuset.memory_spread_{page,slab}, cpuset will flip
PF_SPREAD_{PAGE,SLAB} bit of tsk-&gt;flags for each task in that cpuset.
This should be done using atomic bitops, but currently we don't,
which is broken.

Tetsuo reported a hard-to-reproduce kernel crash on RHEL6, which happened
when one thread tried to clear PF_USED_MATH while at the same time another
thread tried to flip PF_SPREAD_PAGE/PF_SPREAD_SLAB. They both operate on
the same task.

Here's the full report:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/9/19/230

To fix this, we make PF_SPREAD_PAGE and PF_SPREAD_SLAB atomic flags.

v4:
- updated mm/slab.c. (Fengguang Wu)
- updated Documentation.
