Merge branch 'merge' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/benh/powerpc

2013-10-03T15:54:39+00:00

Pull powerpc fixes from Ben Herrenschmidt:
 "Here are a few powerpc fixes, all aimed at -stable, found in part
  thanks to the ramping up of a major distro testing and in part thanks
  to the LE guys hitting all sort interesting corner cases.

  The most scary are probably the register clobber issues in
  csum_partial_copy_generic(), especially since Anton even had a test
  case for that thing, which didn't manage to hit the bugs :-)

  Another highlight is that memory hotplug should work again with these
  fixes.

  Oh and the vio modalias one is worse than the cset implies as it
  upsets distro installers, so I've been told at least, which is why I'm
  shooting it to stable"

powerpc: Fix memory hotplug with sparse vmemmap

2013-10-03T07:21:38+00:00

Previous commit 46723bfa540... introduced a new config option
HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE that ended up breaking memory hot-remove for ppc
when sparse vmemmap is not defined.

This patch defines HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE for ppc and adds the call to
register_page_bootmem_info_node. Without this we get a BUG_ON for memory
hot remove in put_page_bootmem().

This also adds a stub for register_page_bootmem_memmap to allow ppc to build
with sparse vmemmap defined. Leaving this as a stub is fine since the same
vmemmap addresses are also handled in vmemmap_populate and as such are
properly mapped.

mm/hwpoison: fix the lack of one reference count against poisoned page

2013-09-30T21:31:03+00:00

The lack of one reference count against poisoned page for hwpoison_inject
w/o hwpoison_filter enabled result in hwpoison detect -1 users still
referenced the page, however, the number should be 0 except the poison
handler held one after successfully unmap.  This patch fix it by hold one
referenced count against poisoned page for hwpoison_inject w/ and w/o
hwpoison_filter enabled.

mm/hwpoison: fix false report on 2nd attempt at page recovery

2013-09-30T21:31:02+00:00

If the page is poisoned by software injection w/ MF_COUNT_INCREASED
flag, there is a false report during the 2nd attempt at page recovery
which is not truthful.

This patch fixes it by reporting the first attempt to try free buddy
page recovery if MF_COUNT_INCREASED is set.

mm/hwpoison: fix test for a transparent huge page

2013-09-30T21:31:02+00:00

mm/hwpoison: fix traversal of hugetlbfs pages to avoid printk flood

2013-09-30T21:31:02+00:00

madvise_hwpoison won't check if the page is small page or huge page and
traverses in small page granularity against the range unconditionally,
which result in a printk flood "MCE xxx: already hardware poisoned" if
the page is a huge page.

This patch fixes it by using compound_order(compound_head(page)) for
huge page iterator.

Testcase:

#define _GNU_SOURCE
#include 
#include 
#include 
#include 
#include 
#include 
#include 

#define PAGES_TO_TEST 3
#define PAGE_SIZE	4096 * 512

int main(void)
{
	char *mem;
	int i;

	mem = mmap(NULL, PAGES_TO_TEST * PAGE_SIZE,
			PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_HUGETLB, 0, 0);

	if (madvise(mem, PAGES_TO_TEST * PAGE_SIZE, MADV_HWPOISON) == -1)
		return -1;

	munmap(mem, PAGES_TO_TEST * PAGE_SIZE);

	return 0;

mm/mlock.c: prevent walking off the end of a pagetable in no-pmd configuration

2013-09-30T21:31:02+00:00

The function __munlock_pagevec_fill() introduced in commit 7a8010cd3627
("mm: munlock: manual pte walk in fast path instead of
follow_page_mask()") uses pmd_addr_end() for restricting its operation
within current page table.

This is insufficient on architectures/configurations where pmd is folded
and pmd_addr_end() just returns the end of the full range to be walked.
In this case, it allows pte++ to walk off the end of a page table
resulting in unpredictable behaviour.

This patch fixes the function by using pgd_addr_end() and pud_addr_end()
before pmd_addr_end(), which will yield correct page table boundary on
all configurations.  This is similar to what existing page walkers do
when walking each level of the page table.

Additionaly, the patch clarifies a comment for get_locked_pte() call in the
function.

mm: avoid reinserting isolated balloon pages into LRU lists

2013-09-30T21:31:02+00:00

Isolated balloon pages can wrongly end up in LRU lists when
migrate_pages() finishes its round without draining all the isolated
page list.

The same issue can happen when reclaim_clean_pages_from_list() tries to
reclaim pages from an isolated page list, before migration, in the CMA
path.  Such balloon page leak opens a race window against LRU lists
shrinkers that leads us to the following kernel panic:

mm/bounce.c: fix a regression where MS_SNAP_STABLE (stable pages snapshotting) was ignored

2013-09-30T21:31:02+00:00

The "force" parameter in __blk_queue_bounce was being ignored, which
means that stable page snapshots are not always happening (on ext3).
This of course leads to DIF disks reporting checksum errors, so fix this
regression.

The regression was introduced in commit 6bc454d15004 ("bounce: Refactor
__blk_queue_bounce to not use bi_io_vec")

mm/compaction.c: periodically schedule when freeing pages

2013-09-30T21:31:01+00:00

We've been getting warnings about an excessive amount of time spent
allocating pages for migration during memory compaction without
scheduling.  isolate_freepages_block() already periodically checks for
contended locks or the need to schedule, but isolate_freepages() never
does.

When a zone is massively long and no suitable targets can be found, this
iteration can be quite expensive without ever doing cond_resched().

Check periodically for the need to reschedule while the compaction free
scanner iterates.
