7f39dda9d8 mm: fix sleeping function warning from __put_anon_vma
Trinity reports BUG:

  sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/rwsem.c:47
  in_atomic(): 0, irqs_disabled(): 0, pid: 5787, name: trinity-c27

__might_sleep < down_write < __put_anon_vma < page_get_anon_vma <
migrate_pages < compact_zone < compact_zone_order < try_to_compact_pages ..

Right, since conversion to mutex then rwsem, we should not put_anon_vma()
from inside an rcu_read_lock()ed section: fix the two places that did so.
And add might_sleep() to anon_vma_free(), as suggested by Peter Zijlstra.

Fixes: 88c22088bf23 ("mm: optimize page_lock_anon_vma() fast-path")

Pull block core updates from Jens Axboe:
 "It's a big(ish) round this time, lots of development effort has gone
  into blk-mq in the last 3 months.  Generally we're heading to where
  3.16 will be a feature complete and performant blk-mq.  scsi-mq is
  progressing nicely and will hopefully be in 3.17.  A nvme port is in
  progress, and the Micron pci-e flash driver, mtip32xx, is converted
  and will be sent in with the driver pull request for 3.16.

  This pull request contains:

   - Lots of prep and support patches for scsi-mq have been integrated.
     All from Christoph.

   - API and code cleanups for blk-mq from Christoph.

   - Lots of good corner case and error handling cleanup fixes for
     blk-mq from Ming Lei.

   - A flew of blk-mq updates from me:

     * Provide strict mappings so that the driver can rely on the CPU
       to queue mapping.  This enables optimizations in the driver.

     * Provided a bitmap tagging instead of percpu_ida, which never
       really worked well for blk-mq.  percpu_ida relies on the fact
       that we have a lot more tags available than we really need, it
       fails miserably for cases where we exhaust (or are close to
       exhausting) the tag space.

     * Provide sane support for shared tag maps, as utilized by scsi-mq

     * Various fixes for IO timeouts.

     * API cleanups, and lots of perf tweaks and optimizations.

   - Remove 'buffer' from struct request.  This is ancient code, from
     when requests were always virtually mapped.  Kill it, to reclaim
     some space in struct request.  From me.

   - Remove 'magic' from blk_plug.  Since we store these on the stack
     and since we've never caught any actual bugs with this, lets just
     get rid of it.  From me.

   - Only call part_in_flight() once for IO completion, as includes two
     atomic reads.  Hopefully we'll get a better implementation soon, as
     the part IO stats are now one of the more expensive parts of doing
     IO on blk-mq.  From me.

   - File migration of block code from {mm,fs}/ to block/.  This
     includes bio.c, bio-integrity.c, bounce.c, and ioprio.c.  From me,
     from a discussion on lkml.

  That should describe the meat of the pull request.  Also has various
  little fixes and cleanups from Dave Jones, Shaohua Li, Duan Jiong,
  Fengguang Wu, Fabian Frederick, Randy Dunlap, Robert Elliott, and Sam
  Bradshaw"

3e030ecc0f mm/memory-failure.c: fix memory leak by race between poison and unpoison
When a memory error happens on an in-use page or (free and in-use)
hugepage, the victim page is isolated with its refcount set to one.

When you try to unpoison it later, unpoison_memory() calls put_page()
for it twice in order to bring the page back to free page pool (buddy or
free hugepage list).  However, if another memory error occurs on the
page which we are unpoisoning, memory_failure() returns without
releasing the refcount which was incremented in the same call at first,
which results in memory leak and unconsistent num_poisoned_pages
statistics.  This patch fixes it.

6f6acb0051 memcg: fix swapcache charge from kernel thread context
Commit 284f39afeaa4 ("mm: memcg: push !mm handling out to page cache
charge function") explicitly checks for page cache charges without any
mm context (from kernel thread context[1]).

This seemed to be the only possible case where memory could be charged
without mm context so commit 03583f1a631c ("memcg: remove unnecessary
!mm check from try_get_mem_cgroup_from_mm()") removed the mm check from
get_mem_cgroup_from_mm().  This however caused another NULL ptr
dereference during early boot when loopback kernel thread splices to
tmpfs as reported by Stephan Kulow:

This patch fixes the issue by reintroducing mm check into
get_mem_cgroup_from_mm.  We could do the same trick in
__mem_cgroup_try_charge_swapin as we do for the regular page cache path
but it is not worth troubles.  The check is not that expensive and it is
better to have get_mem_cgroup_from_mm more robust.

55231e5c89 mm: madvise: fix MADV_WILLNEED on shmem swapouts
MADV_WILLNEED currently does not read swapped out shmem pages back in.

Commit 0cd6144aadd2 ("mm + fs: prepare for non-page entries in page
cache radix trees") made find_get_page() filter exceptional radix tree
entries but failed to convert all find_get_page() callers that WANT
exceptional entries over to find_get_entry().  One of them is shmem swap
readahead in madvise, which now skips over any swap-out records.

Convert it to find_get_entry().

7fcbbaf183 mm/filemap.c: avoid always dirtying mapping->flags on O_DIRECT
In some testing I ran today (some fio jobs that spread over two nodes),
we end up spending 40% of the time in filemap_check_errors().  That
smells fishy.  Looking further, this is basically what happens:

blkdev_aio_read()
    generic_file_aio_read()
        filemap_write_and_wait_range()
            if (!mapping->nr_pages)
                filemap_check_errors()

and filemap_check_errors() always attempts two test_and_clear_bit() on
the mapping flags, thus dirtying it for every single invocation.  The
patch below tests each of these bits before clearing them, avoiding this
issue.  In my test case (4-socket box), performance went from 1.7M IOPS
to 4.0M IOPS.

For handling a free hugepage in memory failure, the race will happen if
another thread hwpoisoned this hugepage concurrently.  So we need to
check PageHWPoison instead of !PageHWPoison.

If hwpoison_filter(p) returns true or a race happens, then we need to
unlock_page(hpage).

a62c34bd2a x86, mm: Improve _install_special_mapping and fix x86 vdso naming
Using arch_vma_name to give special mappings a name is awkward.  x86
currently implements it by comparing the start address of the vma to
the expected address of the vdso.  This requires tracking the start
address of special mappings and is probably buggy if a special vma
is split or moved.

Improve _install_special_mapping to just name the vma directly.  Use
it to give the x86 vvar area a name, which should make CRIU's life
easier.

As a side effect, the vvar area will show up in core dumps.  This
could be considered weird and is fixable.

[hpa: I say we accept this as-is but be prepared to deal with knocking
 out the vvars from core dumps if this becomes a problem.]

The __next_free_mem_range and __next_free_mem_range_rev functions
are replaced with calls to the more generic list walkers
__next_mem_range and __next_mem_range_rev.

To walk an arbitrary memory list two new macros for_each_mem_range
and for_each_mem_range_rev are added. These new macros are used
to define for_each_free_mem_range and for_each_free_mem_range_reverse.

41abc90228 Metag architecture and related fixes for v3.15
Mostly fixes for metag and parisc relating to upgrowing stacks.
 
 * Fix missing compiler barriers in metag memory barriers.
 * Fix BUG_ON on metag when RLIMIT_STACK hard limit is increased beyond
   safe value.
 * Make maximum stack size configurable. This reduces the default user
   stack size back to 80MB (especially on parisc after their removal of
   _STK_LIM_MAX override). This only affects metag and parisc.
 * Remove metag _STK_LIM_MAX override to match other arches and follow
   parisc, now that it is safe to do so (due to the BUG_ON fix mentioned
   above).
 * Finally now that both metag and parisc _STK_LIM_MAX overrides have
   been removed, it makes sense to remove _STK_LIM_MAX altogether.

ea280e7b40 memcg: update memcg_has_children() to use css_next_child()
Currently, memcg_has_children() and mem_cgroup_hierarchy_write()
directly test cgroup->children for list emptiness.  It's semantically
correct in traditional hierarchies as it actually wants to test for
any children dead or alive; however, cgroup->children is not a
published field and scheduled to go away.

This patch moves out .use_hierarchy test out of memcg_has_children()
and updates it to use css_next_child() to test whether there exists
any children.  With .use_hierarchy test moved out, it can also be used
by mem_cgroup_hierarchy_write().

A side note: As .use_hierarchy is going away, it doesn't really matter
but I'm not sure about how it's used in __memcg_activate_kmem().  The
condition tested by memcg_has_children() is mushy when seen from
userland as its result is affected by dead csses which aren't visible
from userland.  I think the rule would be a lot clearer if we have a
dedicated "freshly minted" flag which gets cleared when the first task
is migrated into it or the first child is created and then gate
activation with that.

v2: Added comment noting that testing use_hierarchy is the
    responsibility of the callers of memcg_has_children() as suggested
    by Michal Hocko.

f61c42a7d9 memcg: remove tasks/children test from mem_cgroup_force_empty()
Tejun has correctly pointed out that tasks/children test in
mem_cgroup_force_empty is not correct because there is no other locking
which preserves this state throughout the rest of the function so both
new tasks can join the group or new children groups can be added while
somebody is writing to memory.force_empty. A new task would break
mem_cgroup_reparent_charges expectation that all failures as described
by mem_cgroup_force_empty_list are temporal and there is no way out.

The main use case for the knob as described by
Documentation/cgroups/memory.txt is to:
"
  The typical use case for this interface is before calling rmdir().
  Because rmdir() moves all pages to parent, some out-of-use page caches can be
  moved to the parent. If you want to avoid that, force_empty will be useful.
"

This means that reparenting is not really required as rmdir will
reparent pages implicitly from the safe context. If we remove it from
mem_cgroup_force_empty then we are safe even with existing tasks because
the number of reclaim attempts is bounded. Moreover the knob still does
what the documentation claims (modulo reparenting which doesn't make any
difference) and users might expect. Longterm we want to deprecate the
whole knob and put the reparented pages to the tail of parent LRU during
cgroup removal.

This patch drops the trivial wrapper css_parent() and let the users

which are public and immutable.

042d27acb6 parisc,metag: Do not hardcode maximum userspace stack size
This patch affects only architectures where the stack grows upwards
(currently parisc and metag only). On those do not hardcode the maximum
initial stack size to 1GB for 32-bit processes, but make it configurable
via a config option.

The main problem with the hardcoded stack size is, that we have two
memory regions which grow upwards: stack and heap. To keep most of the
memory available for heap in a flexmap memory layout, it makes no sense
to hard allocate up to 1GB of the memory for stack which can't be used
as heap then.

This patch makes the stack size for 32-bit processes configurable and
uses 80MB as default value which has been in use during the last few
years on parisc and which hasn't showed any problems yet.

451af504df cgroup: replace cftype->write_string() with cftype->write()
Convert all cftype->write_string() users to the new cftype->write()
which maps directly to kernfs write operation and has full access to
kernfs and cgroup contexts.  The conversions are mostly mechanical.

* @css and @cft are accessed using of_css() and of_cft() accessors
  respectively instead of being specified as arguments.

* Should return @nbytes on success instead of 0.

* @buf is not trimmed automatically.  Trim if necessary.  Note that
  blkcg and netprio don't need this as the parsers already handle
  whitespaces.

cftype->write_string() has no user left after the conversions and
removed.

While at it, remove unnecessary local variable @p in
cgroup_subtree_control_write() and stale comment about
CGROUP_LOCAL_BUFFER_SIZE in cgroup_freezer.c.

This patch doesn't introduce any visible behavior changes.

ec903c0c85 cgroup: rename css_tryget*() to css_tryget_online*()
Unlike the more usual refcnting, what css_tryget() provides is the
distinction between online and offline csses instead of protection
against upping a refcnt which already reached zero.  cgroup is
planning to provide actual tryget which fails if the refcnt already
reached zero.  Let's rename the existing trygets so that they clearly
indicate that they're onliness.

I thought about keeping the existing names as-are and introducing new
names for the planned actual tryget; however, given that each
controller participates in the synchronization of the online state, it
seems worthwhile to make it explicit that these functions are about
on/offline state.

Rename css_tryget() to css_tryget_online() and css_tryget_from_dir()
to css_tryget_online_from_dir().  This is pure rename.

v2: cgroup_freezer grew new usages of css_tryget().  Update
    accordingly.

1c8349a171 ext4: fix data integrity sync in ordered mode
When we perform a data integrity sync we tag all the dirty pages with
PAGECACHE_TAG_TOWRITE at start of ext4_da_writepages.  Later we check
for this tag in write_cache_pages_da and creates a struct
mpage_da_data containing contiguously indexed pages tagged with this
tag and sync these pages with a call to mpage_da_map_and_submit.  This
process is done in while loop until all the PAGECACHE_TAG_TOWRITE
pages are synced. We also do journal start and stop in each iteration.
journal_stop could initiate journal commit which would call
ext4_writepage which in turn will call ext4_bio_write_page even for
delayed OR unwritten buffers. When ext4_bio_write_page is called for
such buffers, even though it does not sync them but it clears the
PAGECACHE_TAG_TOWRITE of the corresponding page and hence these pages
are also not synced by the currently running data integrity sync. We
will end up with dirty pages although sync is completed.

This could cause a potential data loss when the sync call is followed
by a truncate_pagecache call, which is exactly the case in
collapse_range.  (It will cause generic/127 failure in xfstests)

To avoid this issue, we can use set_page_writeback_keepwrite instead of
set_page_writeback, which doesn't clear TOWRITE tag.

dd18dbc2d4 mm, thp: close race between mremap() and split_huge_page()
It's critical for split_huge_page() (and migration) to catch and freeze
all PMDs on rmap walk.  It gets tricky if there's concurrent fork() or
mremap() since usually we copy/move page table entries on dup_mm() or
move_page_tables() without rmap lock taken.  To get it work we rely on
rmap walk order to not miss any entry.  We expect to see destination VMA
after source one to work correctly.

But after switching rmap implementation to interval tree it's not always
possible to preserve expected walk order.

It works fine for dup_mm() since new VMA has the same vma_start_pgoff()
/ vma_last_pgoff() and explicitly insert dst VMA after src one with
vma_interval_tree_insert_after().

But on move_vma() destination VMA can be merged into adjacent one and as
result shifted left in interval tree.  Fortunately, we can detect the
situation and prevent race with rmap walk by moving page table entries
under rmap lock.  See commit 38a76013ad80.

Problem is that we miss the lock when we move transhuge PMD.  Most
likely this bug caused the crash[1].

3551a9280b mm: postpone the disabling of kmemleak early logging
Commit 8910ae896c8c ("kmemleak: change some global variables to int"),
in addition to the atomic -> int conversion, moved the disabling of
kmemleak_early_log to the beginning of the kmemleak_init() function,
before the full kmemleak tracing is actually enabled.  In this small
window, kmem_cache_create() is called by kmemleak which triggers
additional memory allocation that are not traced.  This patch restores
the original logic with kmemleak_early_log disabling when kmemleak is
fully functional.

ed978a811e new helper: generic_file_read_iter()
iov_iter-using variant of generic_file_aio_read().  Some callers
converted.  Note that it's still not quite there for use as ->read_iter() -
we depend on having zero iter->iov_offset in O_DIRECT case.  Fortunately,
that's true for all converted callers (and for generic_file_aio_read() itself).

886a391150 new primitive: iov_iter_alignment()
returns the value aligned as badly as the worst remaining segment
in iov_iter is.  Use instead of open-coded equivalents.

26978b8b4d give ->direct_IO() a copy of iov_iter
the thing is, we want to advance what's given to ->direct_IO() as we
are forming the request; however, the callers care about the amount
of data actually transferred, not the amount we tried to transfer.
It's more convenient to allow ->direct_IO() instances do use
iov_iter_advance() on the copy of iov_iter, leaving the actual
advancing of the original to caller.

a6cbcd4a4a get rid of pointless iov_length() in ->direct_IO()
all callers have iov_length(iter->iov, iter->nr_segs) == iov_iter_count(iter)

cb66a7a1f1 kill generic_segment_checks()
all callers of ->aio_read() and ->aio_write() have iov/nr_segs already
checked - generic_segment_checks() done after that is just an odd way
to spell iov_length().
