Commit 8a5ec0ba "Lockless (and preemptless) fastpaths for slub" makes use
of this_cpu_cmpxchg_double() which needs this_cpu_cmpxchg16b_emu() on
x86_64. Implementing cmpxchg16b emulation for UML would introduce too
much complexity. So just disable it.

Commit 1de1502c ("x86, um: now we can get rid of trivial uml headers")
removed accidentally bug.h which broke UML's call tracer and bug
handler.
Without asm-generic/bug.h UML uses BUG() from arch/x86/ which makes use
of ud2. UML cannot use ud2, it raises SIGILL in user mode. As UML has
a different stack for handling signals the call trace will be cut off.

This is an almost-revert of commit 93b43fa ("oom: give the dying task a
higher priority").
That commit dramatically improved oom killer logic when a fork-bomb
occurs. But I've found that it has nasty corner case. Now cpu cgroup has
strange default RT runtime. It's 0! That said, if a process under cpu
cgroup promote RT scheduling class, the process never run at all.
If an admin inserts a !RT process into a cpu cgroup by setting
rtruntime=0, usually it runs perfectly because a !RT task isn't affected
by the rtruntime knob. But if it promotes an RT task via an explicit
setscheduler() syscall or an OOM, the task can't run at all. In short,
the oom killer doesn't work at all if admins are using cpu cgroup and don't
touch the rtruntime knob.
Eventually, kernel may hang up when oom kill occur. I and the original
author Luis agreed to disable this logic.

all_unreclaimable check in direct reclaim has been introduced at 2.6.19
by following commit.
2006 Sep 25; commit 408d8544; oom: use unreclaimable info
And it went through strange history. firstly, following commit broke
the logic unintentionally.
2008 Apr 29; commit a41f24ea; page allocator: smarter retry of
costly-order allocations
Two years later, I've found obvious meaningless code fragment and
restored original intention by following commit.
2010 Jun 04; commit bb21c7ce; vmscan: fix do_try_to_free_pages()
return value when priority==0
But, the logic didn't works when 32bit highmem system goes hibernation
and Minchan slightly changed the algorithm and fixed it .
2010 Sep 22: commit d1908362: vmscan: check all_unreclaimable
in direct reclaim path
But, recently, Andrey Vagin found the new corner case. Look,
struct zone {
..
int all_unreclaimable;
..
unsigned long pages_scanned;
..
}
zone->all_unreclaimable and zone->pages_scanned are neigher atomic
variables nor protected by lock. Therefore zones can become a state of
zone->page_scanned=0 and zone->all_unreclaimable=1. In this case, current
all_unreclaimable() return false even though zone->all_unreclaimabe=1.
This resulted in the kernel hanging up when executing a loop of the form
1. fork
2. mmap
3. touch memory
4. read memory
5. munmmap
as described in
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/linux/kernel/1348725#1348725
Is this ignorable minor issue? No. Unfortunately, x86 has very small dma
zone and it become zone->all_unreclamble=1 easily. and if it become
all_unreclaimable=1, it never restore all_unreclaimable=0. Why? if
all_unreclaimable=1, vmscan only try DEF_PRIORITY reclaim and
a-few-lru-pages>>DEF_PRIORITY always makes 0. that mean no page scan at
all!
Eventually, oom-killer never works on such systems. That said, we can't
use zone->pages_scanned for this purpose. This patch restore
all_unreclaimable() use zone->all_unreclaimable as old. and in addition,
to add oom_killer_disabled check to avoid reintroduce the issue of commit
d1908362 ("vmscan: check all_unreclaimable in direct reclaim path").

In __access_remote_vm() we need to check that we have found the right
vma, not the following vma before we try to access it. Otherwise we
might call the vma's access routine with an address which does not fall
inside the vma.
It was discovered on a current kernel but with an unreleased driver,
from memory it was strace leading to a kernel bad access, but it
obviously depends on what the access implementation does.
Looking at other access implementations I only see:
$ git grep -A 5 vm_operations|grep access
arch/powerpc/platforms/cell/spufs/file.c- .access = spufs_mem_mmap_access,
arch/x86/pci/i386.c- .access = generic_access_phys,
drivers/char/mem.c- .access = generic_access_phys
fs/sysfs/bin.c- .access = bin_access,
The spufs one looks like it might behave badly given the wrong vma, it
assumes vma->vm_file->private_data is a spu_context, and looks like it
would probably blow up pretty quickly if it wasn't.
generic_access_phys() only uses the vma to check vm_flags and get the
mm, and then walks page tables using the address. So it should bail on
the vm_flags check, or at worst let you access some other VM_IO mapping.
And bin_access() just proxies to another access implementation.

5520e89 ("brk: fix min_brk lower bound computation for COMPAT_BRK")
tried to get the whole logic of brk randomization for legacy
(libc5-based) applications finally right.
It turns out that the way to detect whether brk has actually been
randomized in the end or not introduced by that patch still doesn't work
for those binaries, as reported by Geert:
: /sbin/init from my old m68k ramdisk exists prematurely.
:
: Before the patch:
:
: | brk(0x80005c8e) = 0x80006000
:
: After the patch:
:
: | brk(0x80005c8e) = 0x80005c8e
:
: Old libc5 considers brk() to have failed if the return value is not
: identical to the requested value.
I don't like it, but currently see no better option than a bit flag in
task_struct to catch the CONFIG_COMPAT_BRK && randomize_va_space == 2
case.

Make the driver aware of the initial status of the regulator.
The leds-regulator driver was ignoring the initial status of the
regulator; this resulted in rdev->use_count being incremented to 2 after
calling regulator_led_set_value() in the .probe method when a regulator
was already enabled at insmod time, which made it impossible to ever
disable the regulator.

The memory hotplug case involves calling to build_all_zonelists() which
in turns calls in to setup_zone_pageset(). The latter is marked
__meminit while build_all_zonelists() itself has no particular
annotation. build_all_zonelists() is only handed a non-NULL pointer in
the case of memory hotplug through an existing __meminit path, so the
setup_zone_pageset() reference is always safe.
The options as such are either to flag build_all_zonelists() as __ref (as
per __build_all_zonelists()), or to simply discard the __meminit
annotation from setup_zone_pageset().

The kernel automatically evaluates partition tables of storage devices.
The code for evaluating LDM partitions (in fs/partitions/ldm.c) contains
a bug that causes a kernel oops on certain corrupted LDM partitions.
A kernel subsystem seems to crash, because, after the oops, the kernel no
longer recognizes newly connected storage devices.
The patch validates the value of vblk_size.

The patch titled:"xen/blkback: Use 'vzalloc' for page arrays and pre-allocate pages."
allocates the structures and its member variables using the 'vzalloc'.
Daniel Stodden pointed out that vzalloc is good when we use
big number of pages - while these are at the max two pages.
We can do this using kzalloc. Also the GFP_HIGHMEM does not
work properly with Xen, so take that out.
We will have to revisit this when a "get_empty_pages_and_pagevec"
type API shows up to leverage that.

Previously we would allocate the array for page using 'kmalloc' which
we can as easily do with 'vzalloc'. The pre-allocation of pages
was done a bit differently in the past - it used to be that
the balloon driver would export "alloc_empty_pages_and_pagevec"
which would have in one function created an array, allocated
the pages, balloned the pages out (so the memory behind those
pages would be non-present), and provide us those pages.
This was OK as those pages were shared between other guest and
the only thing we needed was to "swizzel" the MFN of those pages
to point to the other guest MFN. We can still "swizzel" the MFNs
using the M2P (and P2M) override API calls, but for the sake of
simplicity we are dropping the balloon API calls. We can return
to those later on.

Cherry-pick and modified from 69d64727c42eecd47fdf82c15a54474d21a4012a
("blkback/blktap2: simplify address translations"):
"There are quite a number of places where e.g. page->va->page
translations happen.
Besides yielding smaller code (source and binary), a second goal is to
make it easier to determine where virtual addresses of pages allocated
through alloc_empty_pages_and_pagevec() are really used (in turn in
order to determine whether using highmem pages would be possible
there)."
The second goal is not the purpose of this patch - it is just to
make it easier to read the code.

The API for opening a block device has changed since 2.6.32. The
correct function to open a device is blkdev_get_by_dev.

TODO: Double check xen-blkfront.c
|
|
A guest can cause the backend driver to leak a kernel thread. Such
leaked threads hold references to the device, whichmakes the device
impossible to tear down. If shut down, the guest remains a zombie
domain, the xenwatch process hangs, and most xm commands will stop
working.
This patch tries to do the following for blkback:
- identify/extract idempotent teardown operations,
- add/move the invocation of said teardown operation
right before we're about to allocate new resources in the
Connected states.
