were likely the problem. Reverting these commits was reported to solve
the problem for Alexander.
Despite the reason for these commits, NUMA balancing is not the direct
source of the problem. split_huge_page() expects the anon_vma lock to
be exclusive to serialise the whole split operation. Ordinarily it is
expected that the anon_vma lock would only be required when updating the
avcs but THP also uses the anon_vma rwsem for collapse and split
operations where the page lock or compound lock cannot be used (as the
page is changing from base to THP or vice versa) and the page table
locks are insufficient.
This patch takes the anon_vma lock for write to serialise against parallel
split_huge_page as THP expected before the conversion to rwsem.

Hugh Dickins pointed out that migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page() does

The potential impact of the bug is avoided due to the limitations of
NUMA balancing. The page_mapcount() check ensures that only a single
address space is using this page and as THPs are typically private it
should not be possible for another address space to fault it in
parallel. If the address space has one associated task then it's
difficult to have both a GUP pin and be referencing the page at the same
time. If there are multiple tasks then a buggy scenario requires that
another thread be accessing the page while the direct IO is in flight.
This is dodgy behaviour as there is a possibility of corruption with or
without THP migration. It would be
While we happen to be safe for the most part it is shoddy to depend on
such "safety" so this patch checks the page count similar to anonymous

go away. If we were to remove the page_mapcount() check the the THP
would have to be unmapped from all referencing PTEs, replaced with

tracing: Fix regression with irqsoff tracer and tracing_on file
Commit 02404baf1b47 "tracing: Remove deprecated tracing_enabled file"
removed the tracing_enabled file as it never worked properly and
the tracing_on file should be used instead. But the tracing_on file
didn't call into the tracers start/stop routines like the
tracing_enabled file did. This caused trace-cmd to break when it
enabled the irqsoff tracer.
If you just did "echo irqsoff > current_tracer" then it would work
properly. But the tool trace-cmd disables tracing first by writing
"0" into the tracing_on file. Then it writes "irqsoff" into
current_tracer and then writes "1" into tracing_on. Unfortunately,
the above commit changed the irqsoff tracer to check the tracing_on
status instead of the tracing_enabled status. If it's disabled then
it does not start the tracer internals.
The problem is that writing "1" into tracing_on does not call the
tracers "start" routine like writing "1" into tracing_enabled did.
This makes the irqsoff tracer not start when using the trace-cmd
tool, and is a regression for userspace.
Simple fix is to have the tracing_on file call the tracers start()
method when being enabled (and the stop() method when disabled).

target: Fix use-after-free in LUN RESET handling
If a backend IO takes a really long then an initiator might abort a
command, and then when it gives up on the abort, send a LUN reset too,
all before we process any of the original command or the abort. (The
abort will wait for the backend IO to complete too)
When the backend IO final completes (or fails), the abort handling
will proceed and queue up a "return aborted status" operation. Then,
while that's still pending, the LUN reset might find the original
command still on the LUN's list of commands and try to return aborted
status again, which leads to a use-after free when the first
se_tfo->queue_status call frees the command and then the second
se_tfo->queue_status call runs.
Fix this by removing a command from the LUN state_list when we first
are about to queue aborted status; we shouldn't do anything
LUN-related after we've started returning status, so this seems like
the correct thing to do.

target: Fix missing CMD_T_ACTIVE bit regression for pending WRITEs
This patch fixes a regression bug introduced during v3.6.x code with
the following commit to drop transport_add_cmd_to_queue(), which
originally re-set CMD_T_ACTIVE during pending WRITE I/O submission:
target: replace the processing thread with a TMR work queue
The following sequence happens for write commands (or any other
commands with a data out phase):
- The transport calls target_submit_cmd(), which sets CMD_T_ACTIVE in
cmd->transport_state and sets cmd->t_state to TRANSPORT_NEW_CMD.
- Things go on transport_generic_new_cmd(), which notices that the
command needs to transfer data, so it sets cmd->t_state to
TRANSPORT_WRITE_PENDING and calls transport_cmd_check_stop().
- transport_cmd_check_stop() clears CMD_T_ACTIVE in cmd->transport_state
and returns in the normal case.
- Then we continue on to call ->se_tfo->write_pending().
- The data comes back from the initiator, and the transport calls
target_execute_cmd(), which sets cmd->t_state to TRANSPORT_PROCESSING
and calls into the backend to actually write the data.
At this point, the backend might take a long time to complete the
command, since it has to do real IO. If an abort request comes in for
this command at this point, it will not wait for the command to finish
since CMD_T_ACTIVE is not set. Then when the command does finally
finish, we blow up with use-after-free.
Avoid this by setting CMD_T_ACTIVE in target_execute_cmd() so that
transport_wait_for_tasks() waits for the command to finish executing.
This matches the behavior from before commit 1389533ef944 ("target:
remove transport_generic_handle_data"), when data was signaled via
transport_generic_handle_data(), which set CMD_T_ACTIVE because it
called transport_add_cmd_to_queue().

Closer inspection of that patch revealed a bunch of unrelated changes
in the shrinker:
- The shrinker count is now in pages instead of objects.
- For counting the shrinkable objects the old code only looked at the
inactive list, the new code looks at all bounds objects (including
pinned ones). That is obviously in addition to the new unbound list.
- The shrinker cound is no longer scaled with
sysctl_vfs_cache_pressure. Note though that with the default tuning
value of vfs_cache_pressue = 100 this doesn't affect the shrinker
behaviour.
- When actually shrinking objects, the old code first dropped
purgeable objects, then normal (inactive) objects. Only then did it,
in a last-ditch effort idle the gpu and evict everything. The new
code omits the intermediate step of evicting normal inactive
objects.
Safe for the first change, which seems benign, and the shrinker count
scaling, which is a bit a different story, the endresult of all these
changes is that the shrinker is _much_ more likely to fall back to the
last-ditch resort of idling the gpu and evicting everything. The old
code could only do that if something else evicted lots of objects
meanwhile (since without any other changes the nr_to_scan will be
smaller than the object count).
Reverting the vfs_cache_pressure behaviour itself is a bit bogus: Only
dentry/inode object caches should scale their shrinker counts with
vfs_cache_pressure. Originally I've had that change reverted, too. But
Chris Wilson insisted that it's too bogus and shouldn't again see the
light of day.
Hence revert all these other changes and restore the old shrinker
behaviour, with the minor adjustment that we now first scan the
unbound list, then the inactive list for each object category
(purgeable or normal).
A similar patch has been tested by a few people affected by the gen4/5
hangs which started to appear in 3.7, which some people bisected to
the "drm/i915: Track unbound pages" commit. But just disabling the
unbound logic alone didn't change things at all.
Note that this patch doesn't fix the referenced bugs, it only hides
the underlying bug(s) well enough to restore pre-3.7 behaviour. The
key to achieve that is to massively reduce the likelyhood of going
into a full gpu stall and evicting everything.
v2: Reword commit message a bit, taking Chris Wilson's comment into
account.
v3: On Chris Wilson's insistency, do not reinstate the rather bogus
vfs_cache_pressure change.

arm64: mm: introduce present, faulting entries for PAGE_NONE
This is mostly a port of dbf62d50067e ("ARM: mm: introduce L_PTE_VALID
for page table entries") and 26ffd0d43b18 ("ARM: mm: introduce present,
faulting entries for PAGE_NONE") from ARM, which makes use of present,
faulting page table entries for page table entries mapped as PROT_NONE.
The main difference with this implementation is that we can make use of
the two pte type bits in order to avoid allocating a software bit for
identifying PROT_NONE pages, instead reserving the 10b suffix for these
types of mappings.
This is required to prevent users from accessing such pages via syscalls
such as read/write over a pipe.

arm64: vdso: remove broken, redundant sequence counting for timezones
This patch is an arm64 version of ce73ec6db47a ("powerpc/vdso: Remove
redundant locking in update_vsyscall_tz()").
Timezone data is not protected, so the sequence counter is not required
to ensure consistency. Furthermore, having multiple paths updating the
counter leads to a race between update_vsyscall and update_vsyscall_tz,
so remove the timezone sequence counting from both the kernel and the
vdso.

Seen if CONFIG_OF_DEVICE is not defined. of_get_property is declared in

of.h needs to be included directly.

tracing: Fix regression of trace_options file setting
The latest change to allow trace options to be set on the command
line also broke the trace_options file.
The zeroing of the last byte of the option name that is echoed into
the trace_option file was removed with the consolidation of some
of the code. The compare between the option and what was written to
the trace_options file fails because the string holding the data
written doesn't terminate with a null character.
A zero needs to be added to the end of the string copied from
user space.
