Commit "750943a ima: remove enforce checking duplication" combined
the 'in IMA policy' and 'enforcing file integrity' checks. For
the non-file, kernel module verification, a specific check for
'enforcing file integrity' was not added. This patch adds the
check.

Pull libata updates from Jeff Garzik:
1) apply, and then revert, the sysfs export of ATA host controller
number. Discussion was continuing after patch application, trying to
figure out how to best mesh exported data with the installers,
boot-time agents and other parties that want this info.
2) Merge Zero-Power Optical Device Driver (ZPODD) support, bringing the
wonderfulness of sane power management to your CD/DVD device.
Includes one SCSI-subsystem patch (with appropriate ACKs), adding
runtime PM support to 'sr' driver. That is the ZPODD interaction
bits.
Patchset went through some 13 revisions before it got here; kudos to
Intel for persistence.
3) pata_samsung_cf: use devm_clk_get()
4) more ata_piix, ahci PCI IDs
5) Add SATA driver for R-Car SoC
6) Convert libata to use devm_ioremap_resource (Note: I think Greg sent
this to you, also)
7) Set proper Sense Key (SK) in the SCSI simulator when ATA passthrough
indicates check condition. Google and specification hawks everywhere
shall rejoice.

Commit 81732c3b2fed ("tty vt: Fix line garbage in virtual console on
command line edition") broke insert_char() in multiple ways. Then
commit b1a925f44a3a ("tty vt: Fix a regression in command line edition")
partially fixed it. However, the buffer being moved is still too large
and overflowing beyond the end of the current line, corrupting existing
characters on the next line.
Example test case:
echo -e "abc\nde\x1b[A\x1b[4h \x1b[4l\x1b[B"
Expected result:
ab c
de
Current result:
ab c
e
Needless to say that this is very annoying when inserting words in the
middle of paragraphs with certain text editors.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen
Pull Xen update from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk:
"This has two new ACPI drivers for Xen - a physical CPU offline/online
and a memory hotplug. The way this works is that ACPI kicks the
drivers and they make the appropiate hypercall to the hypervisor to
tell it that there is a new CPU or memory. There also some changes to
the Xen ARM ABIs and couple of fixes. One particularly nasty bug in
the Xen PV spinlock code was fixed by Stefan Bader - and has been
there since the 2.6.32!
Features:
- Xen ACPI memory and CPU hotplug drivers - allowing Xen hypervisor
to be aware of new CPU and new DIMMs
- Cleanups
Bug-fixes:
- Fixes a long-standing bug in the PV spinlock wherein we did not
kick VCPUs that were in a tight loop.
- Fixes in the error paths for the event channel machinery"
Fix up a few semantic conflicts with the ACPI interface changes in
drivers/xen/xen-acpi-{cpu,mem}hotplug.c.

It is a pity to have MAX_NUMNODES+MAX_NUMNODES tree roots statically
allocated, particularly when very few users will ever actually tune
merge_across_nodes 0 to use more than 1+1 of those trees. Not a big
deal (only 16kB wasted on each machine with CONFIG_MAXSMP), but a pity.
Start off with 1+1 statically allocated, then if merge_across_nodes is
ever tuned, allocate for nr_node_ids+nr_node_ids. Do not attempt to
free up the extra if it's tuned back, that would be a waste of effort.

I dislike the way in which "swapcache" gets used in do_swap_page():
there is always a page from swapcache there (even if maybe uncached by
the time we lock it), but tests are made according to "swapcache".
Rework that with "page != swapcache", as has been done in unuse_pte().

Before establishing that KSM page migration was the cause of my
WARN_ON_ONCE(page_mapped(page))s, I suspected that they came from the
lack of a ksm_might_need_to_copy() in swapoff's unuse_pte() - which in
many respects is equivalent to faulting in a page.
In fact I've never caught that as the cause: but in theory it does at
least need the KSM_RUN_UNMERGE check in ksm_might_need_to_copy(), to
avoid bringing a KSM page back in when it's not supposed to be.
I intended to copy how it's done in do_swap_page(), but have a strong
aversion to how "swapcache" ends up being used there: rework it with
"page != swapcache".

In "ksm: remove old stable nodes more thoroughly" I said that I'd never
seen its WARN_ON_ONCE(page_mapped(page)). True at the time of writing,
but it soon appeared once I tried fuller tests on the whole series.
It turned out to be due to the KSM page migration itself: unmerge_and_
remove_all_rmap_items() failed to locate and replace all the KSM pages,
because of that hiatus in page migration when old pte has been replaced
by migration entry, but not yet by new pte. follow_page() finds no page
at that instant, but a KSM page reappears shortly after, without a
fault.
Add FOLL_MIGRATION flag, so follow_page() can do migration_entry_wait()
for KSM's break_cow(). I'd have preferred to avoid another flag, and do
it every time, in case someone else makes the same easy mistake; but did
not find another transgressor (the common get_user_pages() is of course
safe), and cannot be sure that every follow_page() caller is prepared to
sleep - ia64's xencomm_vtop()? Now, THP's wait_split_huge_page() can
already sleep there, since anon_vma locking was changed to mutex, but
maybe that's somehow excluded.

Think of struct rmap_item as an extension of struct page (restricted to
MADV_MERGEABLE areas): there may be a lot of them, we need to keep them
small, especially on 32-bit architectures of limited lowmem.
Siting "int nid" after "unsigned int checksum" works nicely on 64-bit,
making no change to its 64-byte struct rmap_item; but bloats the 32-bit
struct rmap_item from (nicely cache-aligned) 32 bytes to 36 bytes, which
rounds up to 40 bytes once allocated from slab. We'd better avoid that.
Hey, I only just remembered that the anon_vma pointer in struct
rmap_item has no purpose until the rmap_item is hung from a stable tree
node (which has its own nid field); and rmap_item's nid field no purpose
than to say which tree root to tell rb_erase() when unlinking from an
unstable tree.
Double them up in a union. There's just one place where we set anon_vma
early (when we already hold mmap_sem): now we must remove tree_rmap_item
from its unstable tree there, before overwriting nid. No need to
spatter BUG()s around: we'd be seeing oopses if this were wrong.

An inconsistency emerged in reviewing the NUMA node changes to KSM: when
meeting a page from the wrong NUMA node in a stable tree, we say that
it's okay for comparisons, but not as a leaf for merging; whereas when
meeting a page from the wrong NUMA node in an unstable tree, we bail out
immediately.
Now, it might be that a wrong NUMA node in an unstable tree is more
likely to correlate with instablility (different content, with rbnode
now misplaced) than page migration; but even so, we are accustomed to
instablility in the unstable tree.
Without strong evidence for which strategy is generally better, I'd
rather be consistent with what's done in the stable tree: accept a page
from the wrong NUMA node for comparison, but not as a leaf for merging.

Fix several mempolicy leaks in the tmpfs mount logic. These leaks are
slow - on the order of one object leaked per mount attempt.
Leak 1 (umount doesn't free mpol allocated in mount):
while true; do
mount -t tmpfs -o mpol=interleave,size=100M nodev /mnt
umount /mnt
done
Leak 2 (errors parsing remount options will leak mpol):
mount -t tmpfs -o size=100M nodev /mnt
while true; do
mount -o remount,mpol=interleave,size=x /mnt 2> /dev/null
done
umount /mnt
Leak 3 (multiple mpol per mount leak mpol):
while true; do
mount -t tmpfs -o mpol=interleave,mpol=interleave,size=100M nodev /mnt
umount /mnt
done
This patch fixes all of the above. I could have broken the patch into
three pieces but is seemed easier to review as one.

The tmpfs remount logic preserves filesystem mempolicy if the mpol=M
option is not specified in the remount request. A new policy can be
specified if mpol=M is given.
Before this patch remounting an mpol bound tmpfs without specifying
mpol= mount option in the remount request would set the filesystem's
mempolicy object to a freed mempolicy object.
To reproduce the problem boot a DEBUG_PAGEALLOC kernel and run:
# mkdir /tmp/x
# mount -t tmpfs -o size=100M,mpol=interleave nodev /tmp/x
# grep /tmp/x /proc/mounts
nodev /tmp/x tmpfs rw,relatime,size=102400k,mpol=interleave:0-3 0 0
# mount -o remount,size=200M nodev /tmp/x
# grep /tmp/x /proc/mounts
nodev /tmp/x tmpfs rw,relatime,size=204800k,mpol=??? 0 0
# note ? garbage in mpol=... output above
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/x/f count=1
# panic here
Panic:
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null)
IP: [< (null)>] (null)

Non-debug kernels will not crash immediately because referencing the
dangling mpol will not cause a fault. Instead the filesystem will
reference a freed mempolicy object, which will cause unpredictable
behavior.
The problem boils down to a dropped mpol reference below if
shmem_parse_options() does not allocate a new mpol:
config = *sbinfo
shmem_parse_options(data, &config, true)
mpol_put(sbinfo->mpol)
sbinfo->mpol = config.mpol /* BUG: saves unreferenced mpol */
This patch avoids the crash by not releasing the mempolicy if
shmem_parse_options() doesn't create a new mpol.
How far back does this issue go? I see it in both 2.6.36 and 3.3. I did
not look back further.

pages
Rob van der Heij reported the following (paraphrased) on private mail.
The scenario is that I want to avoid backups to fill up the page
cache and purge stuff that is more likely to be used again (this is
with s390x Linux on z/VM, so I don't give it as much memory that
we don't care anymore). So I have something with LD_PRELOAD that
intercepts the close() call (from tar, in this case) and issues
a posix_fadvise() just before closing the file.
This mostly works, except for small files (less than 14 pages)
that remains in page cache after the face.
Unfortunately Rob has not had a chance to test this exact patch but the
test program below should be reproducing the problem he described.
The issue is the per-cpu pagevecs for LRU additions. If the pages are
added by one CPU but fadvise() is called on another then the pages
remain resident as the invalidate_mapping_pages() only drains the local
pagevecs via its call to pagevec_release(). The user-visible effect is
that a program that uses fadvise() properly is not obeyed.
A possible fix for this is to put the necessary smarts into
invalidate_mapping_pages() to globally drain the LRU pagevecs if a
pagevec page could not be discarded. The downside with this is that an
inode cache shrink would send a global IPI and memory pressure
potentially causing global IPI storms is very undesirable.
Instead, this patch adds a check during fadvise(POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED) to
check if invalidate_mapping_pages() discarded all the requested pages.
If a subset of pages are discarded it drains the LRU pagevecs and tries
again. If the second attempt fails, it assumes it is due to the pages
being mapped, locked or dirty and does not care. With this patch, an
application using fadvise() correctly will be obeyed but there is a
downside that a malicious application can force the kernel to send
global IPIs and increase overhead.
If accepted, I would like this to be considered as a -stable candidate.
It's not an urgent issue but it's a system call that is not working as
advertised which is weak.
The following test program demonstrates the problem. It should never
report that pages are still resident but will without this patch. It
assumes that CPU 0 and 1 exist.
int main() {
int fd;
int pagesize = getpagesize();
ssize_t written = 0, expected;

We at SGI have a need to address some very high physical address ranges
with our GRU (global reference unit), sometimes across partitioned
machine boundaries and sometimes with larger addresses than the cpu
supports. We do this with the aid of our own 'extended vma' module
which mimics the vma. When something (either unmap or exit) frees an
'extended vma' we use the mmu notifiers to clean them up.
We had been able to mimic the functions
__mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start() and
__mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end() by locking the per-mm lock and
walking the per-mm notifier list. But with the change to a global srcu
lock (static in mmu_notifier.c) we can no longer do that. Our module has
no access to that lock.
So we request that these two functions be exported.

This change adds a follow_page_mask function which is equivalent to
follow_page, but with an extra page_mask argument.
follow_page_mask sets *page_mask to HPAGE_PMD_NR - 1 when it encounters
a THP page, and to 0 in other cases.
__get_user_pages() makes use of this in order to accelerate populating
THP ranges - that is, when both the pages and vmas arrays are NULL, we
don't need to iterate HPAGE_PMD_NR times to cover a single THP page (and
we also avoid taking mm->page_table_lock that many times).

error_states[] has two separate states "unevictable LRU page" and
"mlocked LRU page", and the former one has the higher priority now. But
because of that the latter one is rarely chosen because pages with
PageMlocked highly likely have PG_unevictable set. On the other hand,
PG_unevictable without PageMlocked is common for ramfs or SHM_LOCKed
shared memory, so reversing the priority of these two states helps us
clearly distinguish them.

memory_failure() can't handle memory errors on mlocked pages correctly,
because page_action() judges such errors as ones on "unknown pages"
instead of ones on "unevictable LRU page" or "mlocked LRU page". In
order to determine page_state page_action() checks page flags at the
timing of the judgement, but such page flags are not the same with those
just after memory_failure() is called, because memory_failure() does
unmapping of the error pages before doing page_action(). This unmapping
changes the page state, especially page_remove_rmap() (called from
try_to_unmap_one()) clears PG_mlocked, so page_action() can't catch
mlocked pages after that.
With this patch, we store the page flag of the error page before doing
unmap, and (only) if the first check with page flags at the time decided
the error page is unknown, we do the second check with the stored page
flag. This implementation doesn't change error handling for the page
types for which the first check can determine the page state correctly.

Recently, Luigi reported there are lots of free swap space when OOM
happens. It's easily reproduced on zram-over-swap, where many instance
of memory hogs are running and laptop_mode is enabled. He said there
was no problem when he disabled laptop_mode. The problem when I
investigate problem is following as.
Assumption for easy explanation: There are no page cache page in system
because they all are already reclaimed.
1. try_to_free_pages disable may_writepage when laptop_mode is enabled.
2. shrink_inactive_list isolates victim pages from inactive anon lru list.
3. shrink_page_list adds them to swapcache via add_to_swap but it doesn't
pageout because sc->may_writepage is 0 so the page is rotated back into
inactive anon lru list. The add_to_swap made the page Dirty by SetPageDirty.
4. 3 couldn't reclaim any pages so do_try_to_free_pages increase priority and
retry reclaim with higher priority.
5. shrink_inactlive_list try to isolate victim pages from inactive anon lru list
but got failed because it try to isolate pages with ISOLATE_CLEAN mode but
inactive anon lru list is full of dirty pages by 3 so it just returns
without any reclaim progress.
6. do_try_to_free_pages doesn't set may_writepage due to zero total_scanned.
Because sc->nr_scanned is increased by shrink_page_list but we don't call
shrink_page_list in 5 due to short of isolated pages.
Above loop is continued until OOM happens.
The problem didn't happen before [1] was merged because old logic's
isolatation in shrink_inactive_list was successful and tried to call
shrink_page_list to pageout them but it still ends up failed to page out
by may_writepage. But important point is that sc->nr_scanned was
increased although we couldn't swap out them so do_try_to_free_pages
could set may_writepages.
Since commit f80c0673610e ("mm: zone_reclaim: make isolate_lru_page()
filter-aware") was introduced, it's not a good idea any more to depends
on only the number of scanned pages for setting may_writepage. So this
patch adds new trigger point of setting may_writepage as below
DEF_PRIOIRTY - 2 which is used to show the significant memory pressure
in VM so it's good fit for our purpose which would be better to lose
power saving or clickety rather than OOM killing.

Assume two tasks, one calling mmu_notifier_unregister() as a result of a

mmu_notifier_release() from an mmput() (task B).
A B

Additionally, the list traversal in __mmu_notifier_release() is not

callouts to the ->release() notifier from both mmu_notifier_unregister()
