seq_file: remove "%n" usage from seq_file users

2013-11-15T00:32:20+00:00

All seq_printf() users are using "%n" for calculating padding size,
convert them to use seq_setwidth() / seq_pad() pair.

mm, thp: change pmd_trans_huge_lock() to return taken lock

2013-11-15T00:32:14+00:00

With split ptlock it's important to know which lock
pmd_trans_huge_lock() took.  This patch adds one more parameter to the
function to return the lock.

In most places migration to new api is trivial.  Exception is
move_huge_pmd(): we need to take two locks if pmd tables are different.

mm: convert mm->nr_ptes to atomic_long_t

2013-11-15T00:32:14+00:00

With split page table lock for PMD level we can't hold mm->page_table_lock
while updating nr_ptes.

Let's convert it to atomic_long_t to avoid races.

/proc/pid/smaps: show VM_SOFTDIRTY flag in VmFlags line

2013-11-13T03:09:07+00:00

This flag shows that the VMA is "newly created" and thus represents
"dirty" in the task's VM.

You can clear it by "echo 4 > /proc/pid/clear_refs."

mm, mempolicy: make mpol_to_str robust and always succeed

2013-11-13T03:09:05+00:00

mpol_to_str() should not fail.  Currently, it either fails because the
string buffer is too small or because a string hasn't been defined for a
mempolicy mode.

If a new mempolicy mode is introduced and no string is defined for it,
just warn and return "unknown".

If the buffer is too small, just truncate the string and return, the
same behavior as snprintf().

This also fixes a bug where there was no NULL-byte termination when doing
*p++ = '=' and *p++ ':' and maxlen has been reached.

mm: /proc/pid/pagemap: inspect _PAGE_SOFT_DIRTY only on present pages

2013-10-17T04:35:52+00:00

If a page we are inspecting is in swap we may occasionally report it as
having soft dirty bit (even if it is clean).  The pte_soft_dirty helper
should be called on present pte only.

fs/proc/task_mmu.c: check the return value of mpol_to_str()

2013-09-11T22:59:03+00:00

mpol_to_str() may fail, and not fill the buffer (e.g. -EINVAL), so need
check about it, or buffer may not be zero based, and next seq_printf()
will cause issue.

The failure return need after mpol_cond_put() to match get_vma_policy().

mm: track vma changes with VM_SOFTDIRTY bit

2013-09-11T22:57:56+00:00

Pavel reported that in case if vma area get unmapped and then mapped (or
expanded) in-place, the soft dirty tracker won't be able to recognize this
situation since it works on pte level and ptes are get zapped on unmap,
loosing soft dirty bit of course.

So to resolve this situation we need to track actions on vma level, there
VM_SOFTDIRTY flag comes in.  When new vma area created (or old expanded)
we set this bit, and keep it here until application calls for clearing
soft dirty bit.

Thus when user space application track memory changes now it can detect if
vma area is renewed.

fs/proc/task_mmu.c: fix buffer overflow in add_page_map()

2013-08-14T00:57:50+00:00

Recently we met quite a lot of random kernel panic issues after enabling
CONFIG_PROC_PAGE_MONITOR.  After debuggind we found this has something
to do with following bug in pagemap:

In struct pagemapread:

  struct pagemapread {
      int pos, len;
      pagemap_entry_t *buffer;
      bool v2;
  };

pos is number of PM_ENTRY_BYTES in buffer, but len is the size of
buffer, it is a mistake to compare pos and len in add_page_map() for
checking buffer is full or not, and this can lead to buffer overflow and
random kernel panic issue.

Correct len to be total number of PM_ENTRY_BYTES in buffer.

[akpm@linux-foundation.org: document pagemapread.pos and .len units, fix PM_ENTRY_BYTES definition]

mm: save soft-dirty bits on file pages

2013-08-14T00:57:48+00:00

Andy reported that if file page get reclaimed we lose the soft-dirty bit
if it was there, so save _PAGE_BIT_SOFT_DIRTY bit when page address get
encoded into pte entry.  Thus when #pf happens on such non-present pte
we can restore it back.
