m68knommu: make non-MMU page_to_virt() return a void *
The page_to_virt() macro for m68knommu is currently effectively returning
an int type. But the equivilent m68k macro returns a void * virtual address.
Modify the non-MMU macro to return a void * as well (using the __va macro).
This change will remove compiler warnings in common m68k code that use this
macro.
m68knommu: merge ColdFire 5249 and 525x definitions
The ColdFire 5249 and 525x family of SoCs are very similar. Most of the
internals are the same, and are mapped the same. We can use a single set of
peripheral definitions for all of them.
So merge the current m5249sim.h and m525xsim.h definitions into a single
file. The 5249 is now obsolete, and the 525x parts are current, so I have
chosen to move everything into the existing m525xsim.h file.

Pull late workqueue fixes from Tejun Heo:
"Unfortunately, I have two really late fixes. One was for a
long-standing bug and queued for 3.8 but I found out about a
regression introduced during 3.7-rc1 two days ago, so I'm sending out
the two fixes together.
The first (long-standing) one is rescuer_thread() entering exit path
w/ TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE. It only triggers on workqueue destructions
which isn't very frequent and the exit path can usually survive being
called with TASK_INTERRUPT, so it was hidden pretty well. Apparently,
if you're reiserfs, this could lead to the exiting kthread sleeping
indefinitely holding a mutex, which is never good.
The fix is simple - restoring TASK_RUNNING before returning from the
kthread function.
The second one is introduced by the new mod_delayed_work().
mod_delayed_work() was missing special case handling for 0 delay.
Instead of queueing the work item immediately, it queued the timer
which expires on the closest next tick. Some users of the new
function converted from "[__]cancel_delayed_work() +
queue_delayed_work()" combination became unhappy with the extra delay.
Block unplugging led to noticeably higher number of context switches
and intel 6250 wireless failed to associate with WPA-Enterprise
network. The fix, again, is fairly simple. The 0 delay special case
logic from queue_delayed_work_on() should be moved to
__queue_delayed_work() which is shared by both queue_delayed_work_on()
and mod_delayed_work_on().
The first one is difficult to trigger and the failure mode for the
latter isn't completely catastrophic, so missing these two for 3.7
wouldn't make it a disastrous release, but both bugs are nasty and the
fixes are fairly safe"

workqueue: mod_delayed_work_on() shouldn't queue timer on 0 delay
8376fe22c7 ("workqueue: implement mod_delayed_work[_on]()")
implemented mod_delayed_work[_on]() using the improved
try_to_grab_pending(). The function is later used, among others, to
replace [__]candel_delayed_work() + queue_delayed_work() combinations.
Unfortunately, a delayed_work item w/ zero @delay is handled slightly
differently by mod_delayed_work_on() compared to
queue_delayed_work_on(). The latter skips timer altogether and
directly queues it using queue_work_on() while the former schedules
timer which will expire on the closest tick. This means, when @delay
is zero, that [__]cancel_delayed_work() + queue_delayed_work_on()
makes the target item immediately executable while
mod_delayed_work_on() may induce delay of upto a full tick.
This somewhat subtle difference breaks some of the converted users.
e.g. block queue plugging uses delayed_work for deferred processing
and uses mod_delayed_work_on() when the queue needs to be immediately
unplugged. The above problem manifested as noticeably higher number
of context switches under certain circumstances.
The difference in behavior was caused by missing special case handling
for 0 delay in mod_delayed_work_on() compared to
queue_delayed_work_on(). Joonsoo Kim posted a patch to add it -
("workqueue: optimize mod_delayed_work_on() when @delay == 0")[1].
The patch was queued for 3.8 but it was described as optimization and
I missed that it was a correctness issue.
As both queue_delayed_work_on() and mod_delayed_work_on() use
__queue_delayed_work() for queueing, it seems that the better approach
is to move the 0 delay special handling to the function instead of
duplicating it in mod_delayed_work_on().
Fix the problem by moving 0 delay special case handling from
queue_delayed_work_on() to __queue_delayed_work(). This replaces
Joonsoo's patch.

After resuming for S3, if we try to lazy restore the FPU for a process running

Ensure that "fpu_owner_task" is properly invalided when (re-)initializing a CPU,
so nobody will try to lazy restore a state which doesn't exist in the hardware.
Tested with a 64-bit kernel on a 4-core Ivybridge CPU with eagerfpu=off,

operations running. Without the patch, a process is killed after a

mm: avoid waking kswapd for THP allocations when compaction is deferred or contended
With "mm: vmscan: scale number of pages reclaimed by reclaim/compaction
based on failures" reverted, Zdenek Kabelac reported the following
Hmm, so it's just took longer to hit the problem and observe
kswapd0 spinning on my CPU again - it's not as endless like before -
but still it easily eats minutes - it helps to turn off Firefox
or TB (memory hungry apps) so kswapd0 stops soon - and restart
those apps again. (And I still have like >1GB of cached memory)
The sysrq+m indicates the system has no swap so it'll never reclaim
anonymous pages as part of reclaim/compaction. That is one part of the
problem but not the root cause as file-backed pages could also be
reclaimed.
The likely underlying problem is that kswapd is woken up or kept awake
for each THP allocation request in the page allocator slow path.
If compaction fails for the requesting process then compaction will be
deferred for a time and direct reclaim is avoided. However, if there
are a storm of THP requests that are simply rejected, it will still be
the the case that kswapd is awake for a prolonged period of time as
pgdat->kswapd_max_order is updated each time. This is noticed by the
main kswapd() loop and it will not call kswapd_try_to_sleep(). Instead
it will loopp, shrinking a small number of pages and calling
shrink_slab() on each iteration.
This patch defers when kswapd gets woken up for THP allocations. For
!THP allocations, kswapd is always woken up. For THP allocations,
kswapd is woken up iff the process is willing to enter into direct
reclaim/compaction.

Kswapd does not in all places have the same criteria for a balanced
zone. Zones are only being reclaimed when their high watermark is
breached, but compaction checks loop over the zonelist again when the
zone does not meet the low watermark plus two times the size of the
allocation. This gets kswapd stuck in an endless loop over a small
zone, like the DMA zone, where the high watermark is smaller than the
compaction requirement.
Add a function, zone_balanced(), that checks the watermark, and, for
higher order allocations, if compaction has enough free memory. Then
use it uniformly to check for balanced zones.
This makes sure that when the compaction watermark is not met, at least
reclaim happens and progress is made - or the zone is declared
unreclaimable at some point and skipped entirely.

Since directio can work on a raw block device, and the block size of the

ACCESS_ONCE().
Reading it multiple times can get different results, which will then
confuse the code because it actually encodes the i_blksize in
relationship to the underlying logical blocksize.

fs/buffer.c: make block-size be per-page and protected by the page lock
This makes the buffer size handling be a per-page thing, which allows us
to not have to worry about locking too much when changing the buffer
size. If a page doesn't have buffers, we still need to read the block
size from the inode, but we can do that with ACCESS_ONCE(), so that even
if the size is changing, we get a consistent value.
This doesn't convert all functions - many of the buffer functions are
used purely by filesystems, which in turn results in the buffer size
being fixed at mount-time. So they don't have the same consistency
issues that the raw device access can have.

bonding: fix miimon and arp_interval delayed work race conditions
First I would give three observations which will be used later.
Observation 1: if (delayed_work_pending(wq)) cancel_delayed_work(wq)
This usage is wrong because the pending bit is cleared just before the
work's fn is executed and if the function re-arms itself we might end up
with the work still running. It's safe to call cancel_delayed_work_sync()
even if the work is not queued at all.
Observation 2: Use of INIT_DELAYED_WORK()
Work needs to be initialized only once prior to (de/en)queueing.
Observation 3: IFF_UP is set only after ndo_open is called
Related race conditions:
1. Race between bonding_store_miimon() and bonding_store_arp_interval()
Because of Obs.1 we can end up having both works enqueued.
2. Multiple races with INIT_DELAYED_WORK()
Since the works are not protected by anything between INIT_DELAYED_WORK()
and calls to (en/de)queue it is possible for races between the following
functions:
(races are also possible between the calls to INIT_DELAYED_WORK()
and workqueue code)
bonding_store_miimon() - bonding_store_arp_interval(), bond_close(),
bond_open(), enqueued functions
bonding_store_arp_interval() - bonding_store_miimon(), bond_close(),
bond_open(), enqueued functions
3. By Obs.1 we need to change bond_cancel_all()
Bugs 1 and 2 are fixed by moving all work initializations in bond_open
which by Obs. 2 and Obs. 3 and the fact that we make sure that all works
are cancelled in bond_close(), is guaranteed not to have any work
enqueued.
Also RTNL lock is now acquired in bonding_store_miimon/arp_interval so
they can't race with bond_close and bond_open. The opposing work is
cancelled only if the IFF_UP flag is set and it is cancelled
unconditionally. The opposing work is already cancelled if the interface
is down so no need to cancel it again. This way we don't need new
synchronizations for the bonding workqueue. These bugs (and fixes) are
tied together and belong in the same patch.

cifs: fix writeback race with file that is growing
Commit eddb079deb4 created a regression in the writepages codepath.
Previously, whenever it needed to check the size of the file, it did so
by consulting the inode->i_size field directly. With that patch, the
i_size was fetched once on entry into the writepages code and that value
was used henceforth.
If the file is changing size though (for instance, if someone is writing
to it or has truncated it), then that value is likely to be wrong. This
can lead to data corruption. Pages past the EOF at the time that the
writepages call was issued may be silently dropped and ignored because
cifs_writepages wrongly assumes that the file must have been truncated
in the interim.
Fix cifs_writepages to properly fetch the size from the inode->i_size
field instead to properly account for this possibility.

q.rt_waiter and abort with -EINVAL if detected. To ensure any future
breakage is caught, add a WARN() to wake_futex() if the same condition
is true.
This fix has seen 3 hours of testing with "trinity -c futex" on an
x86_64 VM with 4 CPUS.

writeback: put unused inodes to LRU after writeback completion
Commit 169ebd90131b ("writeback: Avoid iput() from flusher thread")
removed iget-iput pair from inode writeback. As a side effect, inodes
that are dirty during iput_final() call won't be ever added to inode LRU
(iput_final() doesn't add dirty inodes to LRU and later when the inode
is cleaned there's noone to add the inode there). Thus inodes are
effectively unreclaimable until someone looks them up again.
The practical effect of this bug is limited by the fact that inodes are
pinned by a dentry for long enough that the inode gets cleaned. But
still the bug can have nasty consequences leading up to OOM conditions
under certain circumstances. Following can easily reproduce the
problem:
for (( i = 0; i < 1000; i++ )); do
mkdir $i
for (( j = 0; j < 1000; j++ )); do
touch $i/$j
echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
done
done
then one needs to run 'sync; ls -lR' to make inodes reclaimable again.
We fix the issue by inserting unused clean inodes into the LRU after
writeback finishes in inode_sync_complete().

mm: vmscan: check for fatal signals iff the process was throttled
Commit 5515061d22f0 ("mm: throttle direct reclaimers if PF_MEMALLOC
reserves are low and swap is backed by network storage") introduced a
check for fatal signals after a process gets throttled for network
storage. The intention was that if a process was throttled and got
killed that it should not trigger the OOM killer. As pointed out by
Minchan Kim and David Rientjes, this check is in the wrong place and too
broad. If a system is in am OOM situation and a process is exiting, it
can loop in __alloc_pages_slowpath() and calling direct reclaim in a
loop. As the fatal signal is pending it returns 1 as if it is making
forward progress and can effectively deadlock.
This patch moves the fatal_signal_pending() check after throttling to
throttle_direct_reclaim() where it belongs. If the process is killed
while throttled, it will return immediately without direct reclaim
except now it will have TIF_MEMDIE set and will use the PFMEMALLOC
reserves.
Minchan pointed out that it may be better to direct reclaim before
returning to avoid using the reserves because there may be pages that
can easily reclaim that would avoid using the reserves. However, we do
no such targetted reclaim and there is no guarantee that suitable pages
are available. As it is expected that this throttling happens when
swap-over-NFS is used there is a possibility that the process will
instead swap which may allocate network buffers from the PFMEMALLOC
reserves. Hence, in the swap-over-nfs case where a process can be
throtted and be killed it can use the reserves to exit or it can
potentially use reserves to swap a few pages and then exit. This patch
takes the option of using the reserves if necessary to allow the process
exit quickly.
If this patch passes review it should be considered a -stable candidate
for 3.6.

Revert "mm: remove __GFP_NO_KSWAPD"
With "mm: vmscan: scale number of pages reclaimed by reclaim/compaction
based on failures" reverted, Zdenek Kabelac reported the following
Hmm, so it's just took longer to hit the problem and observe
kswapd0 spinning on my CPU again - it's not as endless like before -
but still it easily eats minutes - it helps to turn off Firefox
or TB (memory hungry apps) so kswapd0 stops soon - and restart
those apps again. (And I still have like >1GB of cached memory)
The sysrq+m indicates the system has no swap so it'll never reclaim
anonymous pages as part of reclaim/compaction. That is one part of the
problem but not the root cause as file-backed pages could also be
reclaimed.
The likely underlying problem is that kswapd is woken up or kept awake
for each THP allocation request in the page allocator slow path.
If compaction fails for the requesting process then compaction will be
deferred for a time and direct reclaim is avoided. However, if there
are a storm of THP requests that are simply rejected, it will still be
the the case that kswapd is awake for a prolonged period of time as
pgdat->kswapd_max_order is updated each time. This is noticed by the
main kswapd() loop and it will not call kswapd_try_to_sleep(). Instead
it will loopp, shrinking a small number of pages and calling
shrink_slab() on each iteration.
The temptation is to supply a patch that checks if kswapd was woken for
THP and if so ignore pgdat->kswapd_max_order but it'll be a hack and not
backed up by proper testing. As 3.7 is very close to release and this
is not a bug we should release with, a safer path is to revert "mm:
remove __GFP_NO_KSWAPD" for now and revisit it with the view to ironing
out the balance_pgdat() logic in general.
Commit 7b540d0646ce ("proc_map_files_readdir(): don't bother with
grabbing files") switched proc_map_files_readdir() to use @f_mode
directly instead of grabbing @file reference, but same time the test for
@vm_file presence was lost leading to nil dereference. The patch brings
the test back.
The all proc_map_files feature is CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE wrapped
(which is set to 'n' by default) so the bug doesn't affect regular
kernels.
The regression is 3.7-rc1 only as far as I can tell.
