The reason for the crash is that the mapping is garbage for poisoned
(uninitialized) page.  This shouldn't happen as all pages in the zone's
boundary should be initialized.

Later debugging revealed that the actual problem is an off-by-one when
evaluating the end_page.  'start_pfn + nr_pages' resp 'zone_end_pfn'
refers to a pfn after the range and as such it might belong to a
differen memory section.

This along with CONFIG_SPARSEMEM then makes the loop condition
completely bogus because a pointer arithmetic doesn't work for pages
from two different sections in that memory model.

Fix the issue by reworking is_pageblock_removable to be pfn based and
only use struct page where necessary.  This makes the code slightly
easier to follow and we will remove the problematic pointer arithmetic
completely.

[ Upstream commit 24feb47c5fa5b825efb0151f28906dfdad027e61 ]

If memory end is not aligned with the sparse memory section boundary,
the mapping of such a section is only partly initialized.  This may lead
to VM_BUG_ON due to uninitialized struct pages access from
test_pages_in_a_zone() function triggered by memory_hotplug sysfs
handlers.

Here are the the panic examples:
 CONFIG_DEBUG_VM_PGFLAGS=y

 --------------------------

 page dumped because: VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(PagePoisoned(p))

Fix this by checking whether the pfn to check is within the zone.

[ Upstream commit efad4e475c312456edb3c789d0996d12ed744c13 ]

Patch series "mm, memory_hotplug: fix uninitialized pages fallouts", v2.

Mikhail Zaslonko has posted fixes for the two bugs quite some time ago
[1].  I have pushed back on those fixes because I believed that it is
much better to plug the problem at the initialization time rather than
play whack-a-mole all over the hotplug code and find all the places
which expect the full memory section to be initialized.

We have ended up with commit 2830bf6f05fb ("mm, memory_hotplug:
initialize struct pages for the full memory section") merged and cause a
regression [2][3].  The reason is that there might be memory layouts
when two NUMA nodes share the same memory section so the merged fix is
simply incorrect.

In order to plug this hole we really have to be zone range aware in
those handlers.  I have split up the original patch into two.  One is
unchanged (patch 2) and I took a different approach for `removable'
crash.

This patch (of 2):

Mikhail has reported the following VM_BUG_ON triggered when reading sysfs
removable state of a memory block:

 page:000003d08300c000 is uninitialized and poisoned
 page dumped because: VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(PagePoisoned(p))
 Call Trace:
   is_mem_section_removable+0xb4/0x190

 Last Breaking-Event-Address:
   is_mem_section_removable+0xb4/0x190
 Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception: panic_on_oops

The reason is that the memory block spans the zone boundary and we are
stumbling over an unitialized struct page.  Fix this by enforcing zone
range in is_mem_section_removable so that we never run away from a zone.

commit cb6acd01e2e43fd8bad11155752b7699c3d0fb76 upstream.

hugetlb pages should only be migrated if they are 'active'.  The
routines set/clear_page_huge_active() modify the active state of hugetlb
pages.

When a new hugetlb page is allocated at fault time, set_page_huge_active
is called before the page is locked.  Therefore, another thread could
race and migrate the page while it is being added to page table by the
fault code.  This race is somewhat hard to trigger, but can be seen by
strategically adding udelay to simulate worst case scheduling behavior.
Depending on 'how' the code races, various BUG()s could be triggered.

To address this issue, simply delay the set_page_huge_active call until
after the page is successfully added to the page table.

Hugetlb pages can also be leaked at migration time if the pages are
associated with a file in an explicitly mounted hugetlbfs filesystem.
For example, consider a two node system with 4GB worth of huge pages
available.  A program mmaps a 2G file in a hugetlbfs filesystem.  It
then migrates the pages associated with the file from one node to
another.  When the program exits, huge page counts are as follows:

  node0
  1024    free_hugepages
  1024    nr_hugepages

  node1
  0       free_hugepages
  1024    nr_hugepages

  Filesystem                         Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
  nodev                              4.0G  2.0G  2.0G  50% /var/opt/hugepool

That is as expected.  2G of huge pages are taken from the free_hugepages
counts, and 2G is the size of the file in the explicitly mounted
filesystem.  If the file is then removed, the counts become:

  node0
  1024    free_hugepages
  1024    nr_hugepages

  node1
  1024    free_hugepages
  1024    nr_hugepages

  Filesystem                         Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
  nodev                              4.0G  2.0G  2.0G  50% /var/opt/hugepool

Note that the filesystem still shows 2G of pages used, while there
actually are no huge pages in use.  The only way to 'fix' the filesystem
accounting is to unmount the filesystem

If a hugetlb page is associated with an explicitly mounted filesystem,
this information in contained in the page_private field.  At migration
time, this information is not preserved.  To fix, simply transfer
page_private from old to new page at migration time if necessary.

There is a related race with removing a huge page from a file and
migration.  When a huge page is removed from the pagecache, the
page_mapping() field is cleared, yet page_private remains set until the
page is actually freed by free_huge_page().  A page could be migrated
while in this state.  However, since page_mapping() is not set the
hugetlbfs specific routine to transfer page_private is not called and we
leak the page count in the filesystem.

To fix that, check for this condition before migrating a huge page.  If
the condition is detected, return EBUSY for the page.

security_mmap_addr() does a capability check with current_cred(), but
we can reach this code from contexts like a VFS write handler where
current_cred() must not be used.

This can be abused on systems without SMAP to make NULL pointer
dereferences exploitable again.

[ Upstream commit 7fc5854f8c6efae9e7624970ab49a1eac2faefb1 ]

sync_inodes_sb() can race against cgwb (cgroup writeback) membership
switches and fail to writeback some inodes.  For example, if an inode
switches to another wb while sync_inodes_sb() is in progress, the new
wb might not be visible to bdi_split_work_to_wbs() at all or the inode
might jump from a wb which hasn't issued writebacks yet to one which
already has.

This patch adds backing_dev_info-&gt;wb_switch_rwsem to synchronize cgwb
switch path against sync_inodes_sb() so that sync_inodes_sb() is
guaranteed to see all the target wbs and inodes can't jump wbs to
escape syncing.

v2: Fixed misplaced rwsem init.  Spotted by Jiufei.

<title>numa: change get_mempolicy() to use nr_node_ids instead of MAX_NUMNODES</title>

commit 050c17f239fd53adb55aa768d4f41bc76c0fe045 upstream.

The system call, get_mempolicy() [1], passes an unsigned long *nodemask
pointer and an unsigned long maxnode argument which specifies the length
of the user's nodemask array in bits (which is rounded up).  The manual
page says that if the maxnode value is too small, get_mempolicy will
return EINVAL but there is no system call to return this minimum value.
To determine this value, some programs search /proc/&lt;pid&gt;/status for a
line starting with "Mems_allowed:" and use the number of digits in the
mask to determine the minimum value.  A recent change to the way this line
is formatted [2] causes these programs to compute a value less than
MAX_NUMNODES so get_mempolicy() returns EINVAL.

Change get_mempolicy(), the older compat version of get_mempolicy(), and
the copy_nodes_to_user() function to use nr_node_ids instead of
MAX_NUMNODES, thus preserving the defacto method of computing the minimum
size for the nodemask array and the maxnode argument.

commit a9a238e83fbb0df31c3b9b67003f8f9d1d1b6c96 upstream.

This reverts commit 172b06c32b9497 ("mm: slowly shrink slabs with a
relatively small number of objects").

This change changes the agressiveness of shrinker reclaim, causing small
cache and low priority reclaim to greatly increase scanning pressure on
small caches.  As a result, light memory pressure has a disproportionate
affect on small caches, and causes large caches to be reclaimed much
faster than previously.

As a result, it greatly perturbs the delicate balance of the VFS caches
(dentry/inode vs file page cache) such that the inode/dentry caches are
reclaimed much, much faster than the page cache and this drives us into
several other caching imbalance related problems.

As such, this is a bad change and needs to be reverted.

[ Needs some massaging to retain the later seekless shrinker
  modifications.]

[ Upstream commit 3c0c12cc8f00ca5f81acb010023b8eb13e9a7004 ]

When CONFIG_KASAN is enabled on large memory SMP systems, the deferrred
pages initialization can take a long time.  Below were the reported init
times on a 8-socket 96-core 4TB IvyBridge system.

  1) Non-debug kernel without CONFIG_KASAN
     [    8.764222] node 1 initialised, 132086516 pages in 7027ms

  2) Debug kernel with CONFIG_KASAN
     [  146.288115] node 1 initialised, 132075466 pages in 143052ms

So the page init time in a debug kernel was 20X of the non-debug kernel.
The long init time can be problematic as the page initialization is done
with interrupt disabled.  In this particular case, it caused the
appearance of following warning messages as well as NMI backtraces of all
the cores that were doing the initialization.

[   68.241000] rcu: 	(detected by 13, t=65018 jiffies, g=249, q=2)

The long init time was mainly caused by the call to kasan_free_pages() to
poison the newly initialized pages.  On a 4TB system, we are talking about
almost 500GB of memory probably on the same node.

In reality, we may not need to poison the newly initialized pages before
they are ever allocated.  So KASAN poisoning of freed pages before the
completion of deferred memory initialization is now disabled.  Those pages
will be properly poisoned when they are allocated or freed after deferred
pages initialization is done.

With this change, the new page initialization time became:

[   21.948010] node 1 initialised, 132075466 pages in 18702ms

This was still about double the non-debug kernel time, but was much
better than before.

[ Upstream commit 6ab7d47bcbf0144a8cb81536c2cead4cde18acfe ]

From Michael Cree:
  "Bisection lead to commit b38d08f3181c ("percpu: restructure
   locking") as being the cause of lockups at initial boot on
   the kernel built for generic Alpha.

   On a suggestion by Tejun Heo that:

   So, the only thing I can think of is that it's calling
   spin_unlock_irq() while irq handling isn't set up yet.
   Can you please try the followings?

   1. Convert all spin_[un]lock_irq() to
      spin_lock_irqsave/unlock_irqrestore()."
