Patch 562abd39 "xen-netback: support multiple extra info fragments
passed from frontend" contained a mistake which can result in an in-
correct number of responses being generated when handling errors
encountered when processing packets containing extra info fragments.
This patch fixes the problem.

mm: thp: calculate the mapcount correctly for THP pages during WP faults

ocfs2: fix posix_acl_create deadlock
ocfs2: revert using ocfs2_acl_chmod to avoid inode cluster lock hang

This will provide fully accuracy to the mapcount calculation in the
write protect faults, so page pinning will not get broken by false
positive copy-on-writes.
total_mapcount() isn't the right calculation needed in
reuse_swap_page(), so this introduces a page_trans_huge_mapcount()
that is effectively the full accurate return value for page_mapcount()
if dealing with Transparent Hugepages, however we only use the
page_trans_huge_mapcount() during COW faults where it strictly needed,
due to its higher runtime cost.
This also provide at practical zero cost the total_mapcount
information which is needed to know if we can still relocate the page
anon_vma to the local vma. If page_trans_huge_mapcount() returns 1 we
can reuse the page no matter if it's a pte or a pmd_trans_huge
triggering the fault, but we can only relocate the page anon_vma to
the local vma->anon_vma if we're sure it's only this "vma" mapping the
whole THP physical range.
Kirill A. Shutemov discovered the problem with moving the page
anon_vma to the local vma->anon_vma in a previous version of this
patch and another problem in the way page_move_anon_rmap() was called.
Andrew Morton discovered that CONFIG_SWAP=n wouldn't build in a
previous version, because reuse_swap_page must be a macro to call
page_trans_huge_mapcount from swap.h, so this uses a macro again
instead of an inline function. With this change at least it's a less
dangerous usage than it was before, because "page" is used only once
now, while with the previous code reuse_swap_page(page++) would have
called page_mapcount on page+1 and it would have increased page twice
instead of just once.
Dean Luick noticed an uninitialized variable that could result in a
rmap inefficiency for the non-THP case in a previous version.
Mike Marciniszyn said:
: Our RDMA tests are seeing an issue with memory locking that bisects to
: commit 61f5d698cc97 ("mm: re-enable THP")
:
: The test program registers two rather large MRs (512M) and RDMA
: writes data to a passive peer using the first and RDMA reads it back
: into the second MR and compares that data. The sizes are chosen randomly
: between 0 and 1024 bytes.
:
: The test will get through a few (<= 4 iterations) and then gets a
: compare error.
:
: Tracing indicates the kernel logical addresses associated with the individual
: pages at registration ARE correct , the data in the "RDMA read response only"
: packets ARE correct.
:
: The "corruption" occurs when the packet crosse two pages that are not physically
: contiguous. The second page reads back as zero in the program.
:
: It looks like the user VA at the point of the compare error no longer points to
: the same physical address as was registered.
:
: This patch totally resolves the issue!

A concurrency issue about KSM in the function scan_get_next_rmap_item.
task A (ksmd): |task B (the mm's task):
|
mm = slot->mm; |
down_read(&mm->mmap_sem); |
|
... |
|
spin_lock(&ksm_mmlist_lock); |
|
ksm_scan.mm_slot go to the next slot; |
|
spin_unlock(&ksm_mmlist_lock); |
|mmput() ->
| ksm_exit():
|
|spin_lock(&ksm_mmlist_lock);
|if (mm_slot && ksm_scan.mm_slot != mm_slot) {
| if (!mm_slot->rmap_list) {
| easy_to_free = 1;
| ...
|
|if (easy_to_free) {
| mmdrop(mm);
| ...
|
|So this mm_struct may be freed in the mmput().
|
up_read(&mm->mmap_sem); |
As we can see above, the ksmd thread may access a mm_struct that already
been freed to the kmem_cache. Suppose a fork will get this mm_struct from
the kmem_cache, the ksmd thread then call up_read(&mm->mmap_sem), will
cause mmap_sem.count to become -1.
As suggested by Andrea Arcangeli, unmerge_and_remove_all_rmap_items has
the same SMP race condition, so fix it too. My prev fix in function
scan_get_next_rmap_item will introduce a different SMP race condition, so
just invert the up_read/spin_unlock order as Andrea Arcangeli said.

Commit 702e5bc68ad2 ("ocfs2: use generic posix ACL infrastructure")
refactored code to use posix_acl_create. The problem with this function
is that it is not mindful of the cluster wide inode lock making it
unsuitable for use with ocfs2 inode creation with ACLs. For example,
when used in ocfs2_mknod, this function can cause deadlock as follows.
The parent dir inode lock is taken when calling posix_acl_create ->
get_acl -> ocfs2_iop_get_acl which takes the inode lock again. This can
cause deadlock if there is a blocked remote lock request waiting for the
lock to be downconverted. And same deadlock happened in ocfs2_reflink.
This fix is to revert back using ocfs2_init_acl.

Commit 743b5f1434f5 ("ocfs2: take inode lock in ocfs2_iop_set/get_acl()")
introduced this issue. ocfs2_setattr called by chmod command holds
cluster wide inode lock when calling posix_acl_chmod. This latter
function in turn calls ocfs2_iop_get_acl and ocfs2_iop_set_acl. These
two are also called directly from vfs layer for getfacl/setfacl commands
and therefore acquire the cluster wide inode lock. If a remote
conversion request comes after the first inode lock in ocfs2_setattr,
OCFS2_LOCK_BLOCKED will be set. And this will cause the second call to
inode lock from the ocfs2_iop_get_acl() to block indefinetly.
The deleted version of ocfs2_acl_chmod() calls __posix_acl_chmod() which
does not call back into the filesystem. Therefore, we restore
ocfs2_acl_chmod(), modify it slightly for locking as needed, and use that
instead.

I tried to fix this before, but my previous fix was incomplete
and we can still get the same link error in randconfig builds
because of the way that Kconfig treats the
default y if MVNETA=y && MVNETA_BM_ENABLE
line that does not actually trigger when MVNETA_BM_ENABLE=m,
unlike I intended.
Changing the line to use MVNETA_BM_ENABLE!=n however has
the desired effect and hopefully makes all configurations
work as expected.

Switch the order of the loops to walk the rates on the top
so we exhaust all DP 1.1 rate/lane combinations before trying
DP 1.2 rate/lane combos.
This avoids selecting rates that are supported by the monitor,
but not the connector leading to valid modes getting rejected.

notify_down_prepare: attempt to take down CPU 0 failed
This bug can be reproduced by below config w/ nohz_full= all cpus:
CONFIG_BOOTPARAM_HOTPLUG_CPU0=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_HOTPLUG_CPU0=y
CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y
As Thomas pointed out:
| If a down prepare callback fails, then DOWN_FAILED is invoked for all
| callbacks which have successfully executed DOWN_PREPARE.
|
| But, workqueue has actually two notifiers. One which handles
| UP/DOWN_FAILED/ONLINE and one which handles DOWN_PREPARE.
|
| Now look at the priorities of those callbacks:
|
| CPU_PRI_WORKQUEUE_UP = 5
| CPU_PRI_WORKQUEUE_DOWN = -5
|
| So the call order on DOWN_PREPARE is:
|
| CB 1
| CB ...
| CB workqueue_up() -> Ignores DOWN_PREPARE
| CB ...
| CB X ---> Fails
|
| So we call up to CB X with DOWN_FAILED
|
| CB 1
| CB ...
| CB workqueue_up() -> Handles DOWN_FAILED
| CB ...
| CB X-1
|
| So the problem is that the workqueue stuff handles DOWN_FAILED in the up
| callback, while it should do it in the down callback. Which is not a good idea
| either because it wants to be called early on rollback...
|
| Brilliant stuff, isn't it? The hotplug rework will solve this problem because
| the callbacks become symetric, but for the existing mess, we need some
| workaround in the workqueue code.
The boot CPU handles housekeeping duty(unbound timers, workqueues,
timekeeping, ...) on behalf of full dynticks CPUs. It must remain
online when nohz full is enabled. There is a priority set to every
notifier_blocks:
workqueue_cpu_up > tick_nohz_cpu_down > workqueue_cpu_down
So tick_nohz_cpu_down callback failed when down prepare cpu 0, and
notifier_blocks behind tick_nohz_cpu_down will not be called any
more, which leads to workers are actually not unbound. Then hotplug
state machine will fallback to undo and online cpu 0 again. Workers
will be rebound unconditionally even if they are not unbound and
trigger the warning in this progress.
This patch fix it by catching !DISASSOCIATED to avoid rebind bound
workers.

At the end of process_filter(), collapse_tree() was changed to update
the parg parameter, but the reassignment after the call wasn't removed.
What happens is that the "current_op" gets modified and freed and parg
is assigned to the new allocated argument. But after the call to
collapse_tree(), parg is assigned again to the just freed "current_op",
and this causes the tool to crash.
The current_op variable must also be assigned to NULL in case of error,
otherwise it will cause it to be free()ed twice.

The readdir() function is thread safe as long as just one thread uses a
DIR, which is the case when parsing tracepoint event definitions, to
avoid breaking the build with glibc-2.23.90 (upcoming 2.24), use it
instead of readdir_r().
See: http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/readdir.3.html
"However, in modern implementations (including the glibc implementation),
concurrent calls to readdir() that specify different directory streams
are thread-safe. In cases where multiple threads must read from the
same directory stream, using readdir() with external synchronization is
still preferable to the use of the deprecated readdir_r(3) function."

copy_thread should not be enforcing 16 byte aligment and returning
-EINVAL. Other architectures trap misaligned stack access with SIGBUS
so arm64 should follow this convention, so remove the strict enforcement
check.
For example, currently clone(2) fails with -EINVAL when passing
a misaligned stack and this gives little clue to what is wrong. Instead,
it is arguable that a SIGBUS on the fist access to a misaligned stack
allows one to figure out that it is a misaligned stack issue rather
than trying to figure out why an unconventional (and undocumented)
-EINVAL is being returned.

When the PMU driver reports a truncated AUX record, it effectively means
that there is no more usable room in the event's AUX buffer (even though
there may still be some room, so that perf_aux_output_begin() doesn't take
action). At this point the consumer still has to be woken up and the event
has to be disabled, otherwise the event will just keep spinning between
perf_aux_output_begin() and perf_aux_output_end() until its context gets
unscheduled.
Again, for cpu-wide events this means never, so once in this condition,
they will be forever losing data.
Fix this by disabling the event and waking up the consumer in case of a
truncated AUX record.

Currently, the PT driver always sets the PMI bit one region (page) before
the STOP region so that we can wake up the consumer before we run out of
room in the buffer and have to disable the event. However, we also need
an interrupt in the last output region, so that we actually get to disable
the event (if no more room from new data is available at that point),
otherwise hardware just quietly refuses to start, but the event is
scheduled in and we end up losing trace data till the event gets removed.
For a cpu-wide event it is even worse since there may not be any
re-scheduling at all and no chance for the ring buffer code to notice
that its buffer is filled up and the event needs to be disabled (so that
the consumer can re-enable it when it finishes reading the data out). In
other words, all the trace data will be lost after the buffer gets filled
up.
This patch makes PT also generate a PMI when the last output region is
full.

This fixes CVE-2016-0758.
In the ASN.1 decoder, when the length field of an ASN.1 value is extracted,
it isn't validated against the remaining amount of data before being added
to the cursor. With a sufficiently large size indicated, the check:
datalen - dp < 2
may then fail due to integer overflow.
Fix this by checking the length indicated against the amount of remaining
data in both places a definite length is determined.
Whilst we're at it, make the following changes:
(1) Check the maximum size of extended length does not exceed the capacity
of the variable it's being stored in (len) rather than the type that
variable is assumed to be (size_t).
(2) Compare the EOC tag to the symbolic constant ASN1_EOC rather than the
integer 0.
(3) To reduce confusion, move the initialisation of len outside of:
for (len = 0; n > 0; n--) {
since it doesn't have anything to do with the loop counter n.

Systems show a minimal load average of 0.00, 0.01, 0.05 even when they
have no load at all.
Uptime and /proc/loadavg on all systems with kernels released during the
last five years up until kernel version 4.6-rc5, show a 5- and 15-minute
minimum loadavg of 0.01 and 0.05 respectively. This should be 0.00 on
idle systems, but the way the kernel calculates this value prevents it
from getting lower than the mentioned values.
Likewise but not as obviously noticeable, a fully loaded system with no
processes waiting, shows a maximum 1/5/15 loadavg of 1.00, 0.99, 0.95
(multiplied by number of cores).
Once the (old) load becomes 93 or higher, it mathematically can never
get lower than 93, even when the active (load) remains 0 forever.
This results in the strange 0.00, 0.01, 0.05 uptime values on idle
systems. Note: 93/2048 = 0.0454..., which rounds up to 0.05.
It is not correct to add a 0.5 rounding (=1024/2048) here, since the
result from this function is fed back into the next iteration again,
so the result of that +0.5 rounding value then gets multiplied by
(2048-2037), and then rounded again, so there is a virtual "ghost"
load created, next to the old and active load terms.
By changing the way the internally kept value is rounded, that internal
value equivalent now can reach 0.00 on idle, and 1.00 on full load. Upon
increasing load, the internally kept load value is rounded up, when the
load is decreasing, the load value is rounded down.
The modified code was tested on nohz=off and nohz kernels. It was tested
on vanilla kernel 4.6-rc5 and on centos 7.1 kernel 3.10.0-327. It was
tested on single, dual, and octal cores system. It was tested on virtual
hosts and bare hardware. No unwanted effects have been observed, and the
problems that the patch intended to fix were indeed gone.

unpinned timers(full dynaticks, busy) => nearest busy housekeepers(otherwise, fallback to any housekeepers)
unpinned timers(houserkeepers, idle) => nearest busy housekeepers(otherwise, fallback to itself)
However, the !idle_cpu(i) && is_housekeeping_cpu(cpu) check modified the
intention to:
unpinned timers(full dynaticks, idle) => any housekeepers(no mattter cpu topology)
unpinned timers(full dynaticks, busy) => any housekeepers(no mattter cpu topology)
unpinned timers(housekeepers, idle) => any busy cpus(otherwise, fallback to any housekeepers)
This patch fixes it by checking if there are busy housekeepers nearby,
otherwise falls to any housekeepers/itself. After the patch:

Pavan reported that in the presence of very light tasks (or cgroups)
the placement of migrated tasks can cause severe fairness issues.
The problem is that enqueue_entity() places the task before it updates
time, thereby it can place the task far in the past (remember that
light tasks will shoot virtual time forward at a high speed, so in
relation to the pre-existing light task, we can land far in the past).
This is done because update_curr() needs the current task, and we
might be placing the current task.
The obvious solution is to differentiate between the current and any
other task; placing the current before we update time, and placing any
other task after, such that !curr tasks end up at the current moment
in time, and not in the past.
This commit re-introduces the previously reverted commit:
3a47d5124a95 ("sched/fair: Fix fairness issue on migration")
... which is now safe to do, after we've also fixed another
underlying bug first, in:

Mike reported that our recent attempt to fix migration problems:
3a47d5124a95 ("sched/fair: Fix fairness issue on migration")
broke interactivity and the signal starve test. We reverted that
commit and now let's try it again more carefully, with some other
underlying problems fixed first.
One problem is that I assumed ENQUEUE_WAKING was only set when we do a
cross-cpu wakeup (migration), which isn't true. This means we now
destroy the vruntime history of tasks and wakeup-preemption suffers.
Cure this by making my assumption true, only call
sched_class::task_waking() when we do a cross-cpu wakeup. This avoids
the indirect call in the case we do a local wakeup.

Since I want to make ->task_woken() conditional on the task getting
migrated, we cannot use it to call record_wakee().
Move it to select_task_rq_fair(), which gets called in almost all the
same conditions. The only exception is if the woken task (@p) is
CPU-bound (as per the nr_cpus_allowed test in select_task_rq()).
