rcu: Yield simpler

The rcu_yield() code is amazing. It's there to avoid starvation of the
system when lots of (boosting) work is to be done.

Now looking at the code it's functionality is:

 Make the thread SCHED_OTHER and very nice, i.e. get it out of the way
 Arm a timer with 2 ticks
 schedule()

Now if the system goes idle the rcu task returns, regains SCHED_FIFO
and plugs on. If the systems stays busy the timer fires and wakes a
per node kthread which in turn makes the per cpu thread SCHED_FIFO and
brings it back on the cpu. For the boosting thread the "make it FIFO"
bit is missing and it just runs some magic boost checks. Now this is a
lot of code with extra threads and complexity.

It's way simpler to let the tasks when they detect overload schedule
away for 2 ticks and defer the normal wakeup as long as they are in
yielded state and the cpu is not idle.

That solves the same problem and the only difference is that when the
cpu goes idle it's not guaranteed that the thread returns right away,
but it won't be longer out than two ticks, so no harm is done. If
that's an issue than it is way simpler just to wake the task from
idle as RCU has callbacks there anyway.

Calling queue_delayed_work_on() on a CPU that's in the process of getting

msm_pm_wait_cpu_shutdown(). If queue_delayed_work_on() is called after the
CPU is hotplugged out, it could wake up the CPU without going through the
hotplug path and cause instability. To avoid this, make sure the CPU is and
stays online while queuing a work on it.

writeback: fix negative bdi max pause

commit e3b6c655b91e01a1dade056cfa358581b47a5351 upstream.

Toralf runs trinity on UML/i386.  After some time it hangs and the last
message line is

	BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 22s! [trinity-child0:1521]

It's found that pages_dirtied becomes very large.  More than 1000000000
pages in this case:

	period = HZ * pages_dirtied / task_ratelimit;
	BUG_ON(pages_dirtied > 2000000000);
	BUG_ON(pages_dirtied > 1000000000);      <---------

UML debug printf shows that we got negative pause here:

	ick: pause : -984
	ick: pages_dirtied : 0
	ick: task_ratelimit: 0

	 pause:
	+       if (pause < 0)  {
	+               extern int printf(char *, ...);
	+               printf("ick : pause : %li\n", pause);
	+               printf("ick: pages_dirtied : %lu\n", pages_dirtied);
	+               printf("ick: task_ratelimit: %lu\n", task_ratelimit);
	+               BUG_ON(1);
	+       }
	        trace_balance_dirty_pages(bdi,

Since pause is bounded by [min_pause, max_pause] where min_pause is also
bounded by max_pause.  It's suspected and demonstrated that the
max_pause calculation goes wrong:

	ick: pause : -717
	ick: min_pause : -177
	ick: max_pause : -717
	ick: pages_dirtied : 14
	ick: task_ratelimit: 0

The problem lies in the two "long = unsigned long" assignments in
bdi_max_pause() which might go negative if the highest bit is 1, and the
min_t(long, ...) check failed to protect it falling under 0.  Fix all of
them by using "unsigned long" throughout the function.

mm: do not grow the stack vma just because of an overrun on preceding vma

commit 09884964335e85e897876d17783c2ad33cf8a2e0 upstream.

The stack vma is designed to grow automatically (marked with VM_GROWSUP
or VM_GROWSDOWN depending on architecture) when an access is made beyond
the existing boundary.  However, particularly if you have not limited
your stack at all ("ulimit -s unlimited"), this can cause the stack to
grow even if the access was really just one past *another* segment.

And that's wrong, especially since we first grow the segment, but then
immediately later enforce the stack guard page on the last page of the
segment.  So _despite_ first growing the stack segment as a result of
the access, the kernel will then make the access cause a SIGSEGV anyway!

So do the same logic as the guard page check does, and consider an
access to within one page of the next segment to be a bad access, rather
than growing the stack to abut the next segment.

mm/mmap: check for RLIMIT_AS before unmapping

commit e8420a8ece80b3fe810415ecf061d54ca7fab266 upstream.

Fix a corner case for MAP_FIXED when requested mapping length is larger
than rlimit for virtual memory.  In such case any overlapping mappings
are unmapped before we check for the limit and return ENOMEM.

The check is moved before the loop that unmaps overlapping parts of
existing mappings.  When we are about to hit the limit (currently mapped
pages + len > limit) we scan for overlapping pages and check again
accounting for them.

This fixes situation when userspace program expects that the previous
mappings are preserved after the mmap() syscall has returned with error.
(POSIX clearly states that successfull mapping shall replace any
previous mappings.)

This corner case was found and can be tested with LTP testcase:

testcases/open_posix_testsuite/conformance/interfaces/mmap/24-2.c

In this case the mmap, which is clearly over current limit, unmaps
dynamic libraries and the testcase segfaults right after returning into
userspace.

I've also looked at the second instance of the unmapping loop in the
do_brk().  The do_brk() is called from brk() syscall and from vm_brk().
The brk() syscall checks for overlapping mappings and bails out when
there are any (so it can't be triggered from the brk syscall).  The
vm_brk() is called only from binmft handlers so it shouldn't be
triggered unless binmft handler created overlapping mappings.

mm, show_mem: suppress page counts in non-blockable contexts

commit 4b59e6c4730978679b414a8da61514a2518da512 upstream.

On large systems with a lot of memory, walking all RAM to determine page
types may take a half second or even more.

In non-blockable contexts, the page allocator will emit a page allocation
failure warning unless __GFP_NOWARN is specified.  In such contexts, irqs
are typically disabled and such a lengthy delay may even result in NMI
watchdog timeouts.

To fix this, suppress the page walk in such contexts when printing the
page allocation failure warning.

mm, memcg: give exiting processes access to memory reserves

commit 465adcf1ea7b2e49b2e0899366624f5532b64012

A memcg may livelock when oom if the process that grabs the hierarchy's
oom lock is never the first process with PF_EXITING set in the memcg's
task iteration.

The oom killer, both global and memcg, will defer if it finds an
eligible process that is in the process of exiting and it is not being
ptraced.  The idea is to allow it to exit without using memory reserves
before needlessly killing another process.

This normally works fine except in the memcg case with a large number of
threads attached to the oom memcg.  In this case, the memcg oom killer
only gets called for the process that grabs the hierarchy's oom lock;
all others end up blocked on the memcg's oom waitqueue.  Thus, if the
process that grabs the hierarchy's oom lock is never the first
PF_EXITING process in the memcg's task iteration, the oom killer is
constantly deferred without anything making progress.

The fix is to give PF_EXITING processes access to memory reserves so
that we've marked them as oom killed without any iteration.  This allows
__mem_cgroup_try_charge() to succeed so that the process may exit.  This
makes the memcg oom killer exemption for TIF_MEMDIE tasks, now
immediately granted for processes with pending SIGKILLs and those in the
exit path, to be equivalent to what is done for the global oom killer.

swap: avoid read_swap_cache_async() race to deadlock while waiting on discard I/O completion

commit cbab0e4eec299e9059199ebe6daf48730be46d2b upstream.

read_swap_cache_async() can race against get_swap_page(), and stumble
across a SWAP_HAS_CACHE entry in the swap map whose page wasn't brought
into the swapcache yet.

This transient swap_map state is expected to be transitory, but the
actual placement of discard at scan_swap_map() inserts a wait for I/O
completion thus making the thread at read_swap_cache_async() to loop
around its -EEXIST case, while the other end at get_swap_page() is
scheduled away at scan_swap_map().  This can leave the system deadlocked
if the I/O completion happens to be waiting on the CPU waitqueue where
read_swap_cache_async() is busy looping and !CONFIG_PREEMPT.

This patch introduces a cond_resched() call to make the aforementioned
read_swap_cache_async() busy loop condition to bail out when necessary,
thus avoiding the subtle race window.

mm/pagewalk.c: walk_page_range should avoid VM_PFNMAP areas

commit a9ff785e4437c83d2179161e012f5bdfbd6381f0 upstream.

A panic can be caused by simply cat'ing /proc/<pid>/smaps while an
application has a VM_PFNMAP range.  It happened in-house when a
benchmarker was trying to decipher the memory layout of his program.

/proc/<pid>/smaps and similar walks through a user page table should not
be looking at VM_PFNMAP areas.

Certain tests in walk_page_range() (specifically split_huge_page_pmd())
assume that all the mapped PFN's are backed with page structures.  And
this is not usually true for VM_PFNMAP areas.  This can result in panics
on kernel page faults when attempting to address those page structures.

There are a half dozen callers of walk_page_range() that walk through a
task's entire page table (as N.  Horiguchi pointed out).  So rather than
change all of them, this patch changes just walk_page_range() to ignore
VM_PFNMAP areas.

The logic of hugetlb_vma() is moved back into walk_page_range(), as we
want to test any vma in the range.

VM_PFNMAP areas are used by:
- graphics memory manager   gpu/drm/drm_gem.c
- global reference unit     sgi-gru/grufile.c
- sgi special memory        char/mspec.c
- and probably several out-of-tree modules

kmemleak: use rbtree instead of prio tree

kmemleak uses a tree where each node represents an allocated memory object
in order to quickly find out what object a given address is part of.
However, the objects don't overlap, so rbtrees are a better choice than
prio tree for this use.  They are both faster and have lower memory
overhead.

Tested by booting a kernel with kmemleak enabled, loading the
kmemleak_test module, and looking for the expected messages.

Investigating, I found that the inode->i_security was NULL, and the
dereference of it caused the oops.

in selinux_inode_permission():

	isec = inode->i_security;

	rc = avc_has_perm_noaudit(sid, isec->sid, isec->sclass, perms, 0, &avd);

Note, the crash came from stressing the deletion and reading of debugfs
files.  I was not able to recreate this via normal files.  But I'm not
sure they are safe.  It may just be that the race window is much harder
to hit.

What seems to have happened (and what I have traced), is the file is
being opened at the same time the file or directory is being deleted.
As the dentry and inode locks are not held during the path walk, nor is
the inodes ref counts being incremented, there is nothing saving these
structures from being discarded except for an rcu_read_lock().

The rcu_read_lock() protects against freeing of the inode, but it does
not protect freeing of the inode_security_struct.  Now if the freeing of
the i_security happens with a call_rcu(), and the i_security field of
the inode is not changed (it gets freed as the inode gets freed) then
there will be no issue here.  (Linus Torvalds suggested not setting the
field to NULL such that we do not need to check if it is NULL in the
permission check).

Note, this is a hack, but it fixes the problem at hand.  A real fix is
to restructure the destroy_inode() to call all the destructor handlers
from the RCU callback.  But that is a major job to do, and requires a
lot of work.  For now, we just band-aid this bug with this fix (it
works), and work on a more maintainable solution in the future.
