2019-07-19T16:45:58+00:00

Merge yet more updates from Andrew Morton:
 "The rest of MM and a kernel-wide procfs cleanup.

  Summary of the more significant patches:

   - Patch series "mm/memory_hotplug: Factor out memory block
     devicehandling", v3. David Hildenbrand.

     Some spring-cleaning of the memory hotplug code, notably in
     drivers/base/memory.c

   - "mm: thp: fix false negative of shmem vma's THP eligibility". Yang
     Shi.

     Fix /proc/pid/smaps output for THP pages used in shmem.

   - "resource: fix locking in find_next_iomem_res()" + 1. Nadav Amit.

     Bugfix and speedup for kernel/resource.c

   - Patch series "mm: Further memory block device cleanups", David
     Hildenbrand.

     More spring-cleaning of the memory hotplug code.

   - Patch series "mm: Sub-section memory hotplug support". Dan
     Williams.

     Generalise the memory hotplug code so that pmem can use it more
     completely. Then remove the hacks from the libnvdimm code which
     were there to work around the memory-hotplug code's constraints.

   - "proc/sysctl: add shared variables for range check", Matteo Croce.

     We have about 250 instances of

          int zero;
          ...
                  .extra1 = &zero,

     in the tree. This is a tree-wide sweep to make all those private
     "zero"s and "one"s use global variables.

     Alas, it isn't practical to make those two global integers const"

proc/sysctl: add shared variables for range check

2019-07-19T00:08:07+00:00

In the sysctl code the proc_dointvec_minmax() function is often used to
validate the user supplied value between an allowed range.  This
function uses the extra1 and extra2 members from struct ctl_table as
minimum and maximum allowed value.

On sysctl handler declaration, in every source file there are some
readonly variables containing just an integer which address is assigned
to the extra1 and extra2 members, so the sysctl range is enforced.

The special values 0, 1 and INT_MAX are very often used as range
boundary, leading duplication of variables like zero=0, one=1,
int_max=INT_MAX in different source files:

    $ git grep -E '\.extra[12].*&(zero|one|int_max)' |wc -l
    248

Add a const int array containing the most commonly used values, some
macros to refer more easily to the correct array member, and use them
instead of creating a local one for every object file.

compiled with the default Fedora config:

xen: let alloc_xenballooned_pages() fail if not enough memory free

2019-07-18T04:44:24+00:00

Instead of trying to allocate pages with GFP_USER in
add_ballooned_pages() check the available free memory via
si_mem_available(). GFP_USER is far less limiting memory exhaustion
than the test via si_mem_available().

This will avoid dom0 running out of memory due to excessive foreign
page mappings especially on ARM and on x86 in PVH mode, as those don't
have a pre-ballooned area which can be used for foreign mappings.

As the normal ballooning suffers from the same problem don't balloon
down more than si_mem_available() pages in one iteration. At the same
time limit the default maximum number of retries.

This is part of XSA-300.

xen: remove tmem driver

2019-07-17T06:09:58+00:00

The Xen tmem (transcendent memory) driver can be removed, as the
related Xen hypervisor feature never made it past the "experimental"
state and will be removed in future Xen versions (>= 4.13).

The xen-selfballoon driver depends on tmem, so it can be removed, too.

xen/events: fix binding user event channels to cpus

2019-07-17T06:09:57+00:00

When binding an interdomain event channel to a vcpu via
IOCTL_EVTCHN_BIND_INTERDOMAIN not only the event channel needs to be
bound, but the affinity of the associated IRQi must be changed, too.
Otherwise the IRQ and the event channel won't be moved to another vcpu
in case the original vcpu they were bound to is going offline.

mm/pgtable: drop pgtable_t variable from pte_fn_t functions

2019-07-12T18:05:46+00:00

Drop the pgtable_t variable from all implementation for pte_fn_t as none
of them use it.  apply_to_pte_range() should stop computing it as well.
Should help us save some cycles.

vfs: Convert xenfs to use the new mount API

2019-07-05T02:01:59+00:00

Convert the xenfs filesystem to the new internal mount API as the old
one will be obsoleted and removed.  This allows greater flexibility in
communication of mount parameters between userspace, the VFS and the
filesystem.

See Documentation/filesystems/mount_api.txt for more information.
