KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki 747388d78a memcg: fix css_is_ancestor() RCU locking
Some callers (in memcontrol.c) calls css_is_ancestor() without
rcu_read_lock.  Because css_is_ancestor() has to access RCU protected
data, it should be under rcu_read_lock().

This makes css_is_ancestor() itself does safe access to RCU protected
area.  (At least, "root" can have refcnt==0 if it's not an ancestor of
"child".  So, we need rcu_read_lock().)

KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki 7f0f154641 memcg: fix css_id() RCU locking for real
Commit ad4ba37537 ("memcg: css_id() must be
called under rcu_read_lock()") modifies memcontol.c for fixing RCU check
message.  But Andrew Morton pointed out that the fix doesn't seems sane
and it was just for hidining lockdep messages.

This is a patch for do proper things.  Checking again, all places,
accessing without rcu_read_lock, that commit fixies was intentional....
all callers of css_id() has reference count on it.  So, it's not necessary
to be under rcu_read_lock().

Considering again, we can use rcu_dereference_check for css_id().  We know
css->id is valid if css->refcnt > 0.  (css->id never changes and freed
after css->refcnt going to be 0.)

This patch makes use of rcu_dereference_check() in css_id/depth and remove
unnecessary rcu-read-lock added by the commit.

Naoya Horiguchi ab941e0fff rmap: remove anon_vma check in page_address_in_vma()
Currently page_address_in_vma() compares vma->anon_vma and
page_anon_vma(page) for parameter check, but in 2.6.34 a vma can have
multiple anon_vmas with anon_vma_chain, so current check does not work.
(For anonymous page shared by multiple processes, some verified (page,vma)
pairs return -EFAULT wrongly.)

We can go to checking all anon_vmas in the "same_vma" chain, but it needs
to meet lock requirement.  Instead, we can remove anon_vma check safely
because page_address_in_vma() assumes that page and vma are already
checked to belong to the identical process.

Mel Gorman 4a6018f7f4 hugetlbfs: kill applications that use MAP_NORESERVE with SIGBUS instead of OOM-killer
Ordinarily, application using hugetlbfs will create mappings with
reserves.  For shared mappings, these pages are reserved before mmap()
returns success and for private mappings, the caller process is guaranteed
and a child process that cannot get the pages gets killed with sigbus.

An application that uses MAP_NORESERVE gets no reservations and mmap()
will always succeed at the risk the page will not be available at fault
time.  This might be used for example on very large sparse mappings where
the developer is confident the necessary huge pages exist to satisfy all
faults even though the whole mapping cannot be backed by huge pages.
Unfortunately, if an allocation does fail, VM_FAULT_OOM is returned to the
fault handler which proceeds to trigger the OOM-killer.  This is
unhelpful.

Even without hugetlbfs mounted, a user using mmap() can trivially trigger
the OOM-killer because VM_FAULT_OOM is returned (will provide example
program if desired - it's a whopping 24 lines long).  It could be
considered a DOS available to an unprivileged user.

This patch alters hugetlbfs to kill a process that uses MAP_NORESERVE
where huge pages were not available with SIGBUS instead of triggering the
OOM killer.

This change affects hugetlb_cow() as well.  I feel there is a failure case
in there, but I didn't create one.  It would need a fairly specific target
in terms of the faulting application and the hugepage pool size.  The
hugetlb_no_page() path is much easier to hit but both might as well be
closed.

Mel Gorman 23be7468e8 hugetlb: fix infinite loop in get_futex_key() when backed by huge pages
If a futex key happens to be located within a huge page mapped
MAP_PRIVATE, get_futex_key() can go into an infinite loop waiting for a
page->mapping that will never exist.

See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=552257 for more details
about the problem.

This patch makes page->mapping a poisoned value that includes
PAGE_MAPPING_ANON mapped MAP_PRIVATE.  This is enough for futex to
continue but because of PAGE_MAPPING_ANON, the poisoned value is not
dereferenced or used by futex.  No other part of the VM should be
dereferencing the page->mapping of a hugetlbfs page as its page cache is
not on the LRU.

This patch fixes the problem with the test case described in the bugzilla.

Rik van Riel e8a03feb54 rmap: add exclusively owned pages to the newest anon_vma
The recent anon_vma fixes cause many anonymous pages to end up
in the parent process anon_vma, even when the page is exclusively
owned by the current process.

Adding exclusively owned anonymous pages to the top anon_vma
reduces rmap scanning overhead, especially in workloads with
forking servers.

This patch adds a parameter to __page_set_anon_rmap that can
be used to indicate whether or not the added page is exclusively
owned by the current process.

Pages added through page_add_new_anon_rmap are exclusively
owned by the current process, and can be added to the top
anon_vma.

Pages added through page_add_anon_rmap can be either shared
or exclusively owned, so we do the conservative thing and
add it to the oldest anon_vma.

A next step would be to add the exclusive parameter to
page_add_anon_rmap, to be used from functions where we do
know for sure whether a page is exclusively owned.

Linus Torvalds ea90002b0f anonvma: when setting up page->mapping, we need to pick the _oldest_ anonvma
Otherwise we might be mapping in a page in a new mapping, but that page
(through the swapcache) would later be mapped into an old mapping too.
The page->mapping must be the case that works for everybody, not just
the mapping that happened to page it in first.

Here's the scenario:

 - page gets allocated/mapped by process A. Let's call the anon_vma we
   associate the page with 'A' to keep it easy to track.

 - Process A forks, creating process B. The anon_vma in B is 'B', and has
   a chain that looks like 'B' -> 'A'. Everything is fine.

 - Swapping happens. The page (with mapping pointing to 'A') gets swapped
   out (perhaps not to disk - it's enough to assume that it's just not
   mapped any more, and lives entirely in the swap-cache)

 - Process B pages it in, which goes like this:

        do_swap_page ->
          page = lookup_swap_cache(entry);
         ...
          set_pte_at(mm, address, page_table, pte);
          page_add_anon_rmap(page, vma, address);

   And think about what happens here!

   In particular, what happens is that this will now be the "first"
   mapping of that page, so page_add_anon_rmap() used to do

        if (first)
                __page_set_anon_rmap(page, vma, address);

   and notice what anon_vma it will use? It will use the anon_vma for
   process B!

   What happens then? Trivial: process 'A' also pages it in (nothing
   happens, it's not the first mapping), and then process 'B' execve's
   or exits or unmaps, making anon_vma B go away.

   End result: process A has a page that points to anon_vma B, but
   anon_vma B does not exist any more.  This can go on forever.  Forget
   about RCU grace periods, forget about locking, forget anything like
   that.  The bug is simply that page->mapping points to an anon_vma
   that was correct at one point, but was _not_ the one that was shared
   by all users of that possible mapping.

Changing it to always use the deepest anon_vma in the anonvma chain gets
us to the safest model.

This can be improved in certain cases: if we know the page is private to
just this particular mapping (for example, it's a new page, or it is the
only swapcache entry), we could pick the top (most specific) anon_vma.

But that's a future optimization. Make it _work_ reliably first.

Linus Torvalds d0e9fe1758 Simplify and comment on anon_vma re-use for anon_vma_prepare()
This changes the anon_vma reuse case to require that we only reuse
simple anon_vma's - ie the case when the vma only has a single anon_vma
associated with it.

This means that a reuse of an anon_vma from an adjacent vma will always
guarantee that both vma's are associated not only with the same
anon_vma, they will also have the same anon_vma chain (of just a single
entry in this case).

And since anon_vma re-use was the only case where the same anon_vma
might be associated with different chains of anon_vma's, we now have the
case that every vma that shares the same anon_vma will always also have
the same chain.  That makes it much easier to think about merging vma's
that share the same anon_vma's: you can always just drop the other
anon_vma chain in anon_vma_merge() since you know that they are always
identical.

This also splits up the function to validate the anon_vma re-use, and
adds a lot of commentary about the possible races.

KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki 8725d54162 memcg: fix race in file_mapped accounting
Presently, memcg's FILE_MAPPED accounting has following race with
move_account (happens at rmdir()).

    increment page->mapcount (rmap.c)
    mem_cgroup_update_file_mapped()           move_account()
					      lock_page_cgroup()
					      check page_mapped() if
					      page_mapped(page)>1 {
						FILE_MAPPED -1 from old memcg
						FILE_MAPPED +1 to old memcg
					      }
					      .....
					      overwrite pc->mem_cgroup
					      unlock_page_cgroup()
    lock_page_cgroup()
    FILE_MAPPED + 1 to pc->mem_cgroup
    unlock_page_cgroup()

Then,
	old memcg (-1 file mapped)
	new memcg (+2 file mapped)

This happens because move_account see page_mapped() which is not guarded
by lock_page_cgroup().  This patch adds FILE_MAPPED flag to page_cgroup
and move account information based on it.  Now, all checks are synchronous
with lock_page_cgroup().

Naoya Horiguchi 116354d177 pagemap: fix pfn calculation for hugepage
When we look into pagemap using page-types with option -p, the value of
pfn for hugepages looks wrong (see below.) This is because pte was
evaluated only once for one vma although it should be updated for each
hugepage.  This patch fixes it.

  $ page-types -p 3277 -Nl -b huge
  voffset   offset  len     flags
  7f21e8a00 11e400  1       ___U___________H_G________________
  7f21e8a01 11e401  1ff     ________________TG________________
               ^^^
  7f21e8c00 11e400  1       ___U___________H_G________________
  7f21e8c01 11e401  1ff     ________________TG________________
               ^^^

One hugepage contains 1 head page and 511 tail pages in x86_64 and each
two lines represent each hugepage.  Voffset and offset mean virtual
address and physical address in the page unit, respectively.  The
different hugepages should not have the same offset value.

With this patch applied:

  $ page-types -p 3386 -Nl -b huge
  voffset   offset   len    flags
  7fec7a600 112c00   1      ___UD__________H_G________________
  7fec7a601 112c01   1ff    ________________TG________________
               ^^^
  7fec7a800 113200   1      ___UD__________H_G________________
  7fec7a801 113201   1ff    ________________TG________________
               ^^^
               OK

More info:

- This patch modifies walk_page_range()'s hugepage walker.  But the
  change only affects pagemap_read(), which is the only caller of hugepage
  callback.

- Without this patch, hugetlb_entry() callback is called per vma, that
  doesn't match the natural expectation from its name.

- With this patch, hugetlb_entry() is called per hugepte entry and the
  callback can become much simpler.

KOSAKI Motohiro d6da1a5abc mm: revert "vmscan: get_scan_ratio() cleanup"
Shaohua Li reported his tmpfs streaming I/O test can lead to make oom.
The test uses a 6G tmpfs in a system with 3G memory.  In the tmpfs, there
are 6 copies of kernel source and the test does kbuild for each copy.  His
investigation shows the test has a lot of rotated anon pages and quite few
file pages, so get_scan_ratio calculates percent[0] (i.e.  scanning
percent for anon) to be zero.  Actually the percent[0] shoule be a big
value, but our calculation round it to zero.

Although before commit 84b18490 ("vmscan: get_scan_ratio() cleanup") , we
have the same problem too.  But the old logic can rescue percent[0]==0
case only when priority==0.  It had hided the real issue.  I didn't think
merely streaming io can makes percent[0]==0 && priority==0 situation.  but
I was wrong.

So, definitely we have to fix such tmpfs streaming io issue.  but anyway I
revert the regression commit at first.

This reverts commit 84b18490d1.

Tejun Heo de380b55f9 percpu: don't implicitly include slab.h from percpu.h
percpu.h has always been including slab.h to get k[mz]alloc/free() for
UP inline implementation.  percpu.h being used by very low level
headers including module.h and sched.h, this meant that a lot files
unintentionally got slab.h inclusion.

Lee Schermerhorn was trying to make topology.h use percpu.h and got
bitten by this implicit inclusion.  The right thing to do is break
this ultimately unnecessary dependency.  The previous patch added
explicit inclusion of either gfp.h or slab.h to the source files using
them.  This patch updates percpu.h such that slab.h is no longer
included from percpu.h.

Tejun Heo 5a0e3ad6af include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

Fix __get_user_pages() to make it pin the last page on a buffer that doesn't
begin at the start of a page, but is a multiple of PAGE_SIZE in size.

The problem is that __get_user_pages() advances the pointer too much when it
iterates to the next page if the page it's currently looking at isn't used from
the first byte.  This can cause the end of a short VMA to be reached
prematurely, resulting in the last page being lost.

	nommu: get_user_pages(): pin last page on non-page-aligned start

As it assumes that the mappings begin at the start of pages - something that
isn't necessarily true on NOMMU systems.  On NOMMU systems, it is possible for
a mapping to only occupy part of the page, and not necessarily touch either end
of it; in fact it's also possible for multiple non-overlapping mappings to
coexist on one page (consider direct mappings of ROMFS files, for example).

Michael S. Tsirkin 298359c5bf exit: fix oops in sync_mm_rss
In 2.6.34-rc1, removing vhost_net module causes an oops in sync_mm_rss
(called from do_exit) when workqueue is destroyed.  This does not happen
on net-next, or with vhost on top of to 2.6.33.

The issue seems to be introduced by
34e55232e5 ("mm: avoid false sharing of
mm_counter) which added sync_mm_rss() that is passed task->mm, and
dereferences it without checking.  If task is a kernel thread, mm might be
NULL.  I think this might also happen e.g.  with aio.

This patch fixes the oops by calling sync_mm_rss when task->mm is set to
NULL.  I also added BUG_ON to detect any other cases where counters get

The oops I observed looks like this:

Fixing recursive fault but reboot is needed!

(note: handle_rx_net is a work item using workqueue in question).
sync_mm_rss+0x33/0x6f gave me a hint. I also tried reverting
34e55232e5 and the oops goes away.

The module in question calls use_mm and later unuse_mm from a kernel
thread.  It is when this kernel thread is destroyed that the crash
happens.

KOSAKI Motohiro 12821f5fb9 tmpfs: handle MPOL_LOCAL mount option properly
commit 71fe804b6d (mempolicy: use struct mempolicy pointer in
shmem_sb_info) added mpol=local mount option.  but its feature is broken
since it was born.  because such code always return 1 (i.e.  mount
failure).

This patch fixes it.

KOSAKI Motohiro d69b2e63e9 tmpfs: mpol=bind:0 don't cause mount error.
Currently, following mount operation cause mount error.

% mount -t tmpfs -ompol=bind:0 none /tmp

Because commit 71fe804b6d (mempolicy: use struct mempolicy pointer in
shmem_sb_info) corrupted MPOL_BIND parse code.

This patch restore the needed one.

Ravikiran G Thirumalai 413b43deab tmpfs: fix oops on mounts with mpol=default
Fix an 'oops' when a tmpfs mount point is mounted with the mpol=default
mempolicy.

Upon remounting a tmpfs mount point with 'mpol=default' option, the mount
code crashed with a null pointer dereference.  The initial problem report
was on 2.6.27, but the problem exists in mainline 2.6.34-rc as well.  On
examining the code, we see that mpol_new returns NULL if default mempolicy
was requested.  This 'NULL' mempolicy is accessed to store the node mask
resulting in oops.

The following patch fixes it.

Robin Holt cb53237513 mm/ksm.c is doing an unneeded _notify in write_protect_page.
ksm.c's write_protect_page implements a lockless means of verifying a page
does not have any users of the page which are not accounted for via other
kernel tracking means.  It does this by removing the writable pte with TLB
flushes, checking the page_count against the total known users, and then
using set_pte_at_notify to make it a read-only entry.

An unneeded mmu_notifier callout is made in the case where the known users
does not match the page_count.  In that event, we are inserting the
identical pte and there is no need for the set_pte_at_notify, but rather
the simpler set_pte_at suffices.
