In the near future, all callers of ksys_unlink() should be converted to

net: socket: add __sys_recvfrom() helper; remove in-kernel call to syscall
Using the net-internal helper __sys_recvfrom() allows us to avoid the
internal calls to the sys_recvfrom() syscall.
This patch is part of a series which removes in-kernel calls to syscalls.
On this basis, the syscall entry path can be streamlined. For details, see

The syscall entry points to the kernel defined by SYSCALL_DEFINEx()
and COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINEx() should only be called from userspace

will allow cleanups and optimizations to the entry paths *and* to

With this patch both clock have now a name, but in order to be backward

lib/test_kmod.c: fix limit check on number of test devices created
As reported by Dan the parentheses is in the wrong place, and since
unlikely() call returns either 0 or 1 it's never less than zero. The
second issue is that signed integer overflows like "INT_MAX + 1" are
undefined behavior.
Since num_test_devs represents the number of devices, we want to stop
prior to hitting the max, and not rely on the wrap arround at all. So
just cap at num_test_devs + 1, prior to assigning a new device.

mm/page_alloc: fix memmap_init_zone pageblock alignment
Commit
b92df1de5d28 ("mm: page_alloc: skip over regions of invalid pfns
where possible") introduced a bug where move_freepages() triggers a
VM_BUG_ON() on uninitialized page structure due to pageblock alignment.
To fix this, simply align the skipped pfns in memmap_init_zone() the
same way as in move_freepages_block().
Seen in one of the RHEL reports:

BUG, zones differ!
Note that this range follows two not populated sections
68000000-
77ffffff in this zone.
7b788000-
7b7fffff is the first one
after a gap. This makes memmap_init_zone() skip all the pfns up to the
beginning of this range. But this range is not pageblock (2M) aligned.
In fact no range has to be.

Initialization of the whole beginning of the section is skipped up to
the start of the range due to the commit
b92df1de5d28. Now any code
calling move_freepages_block() (like reusing the page from a freelist as
in this example) with a page from the beginning of the range will get
the page rounded down to start_page
ffffea0001ed8000 and passed to
move_freepages() which crashes on assertion getting wrong zonenr.
> VM_BUG_ON(page_zone(start_page) != page_zone(end_page));
Note, page_zone() derives the zone from page flags here.

At least the bare minimum of pages is initialized preventing the crash
as well.
Customers started to report this as soon as 7.4 (where
b92df1de5d28 was
merged in RHEL) was released. I remember reports from
September/October-ish times. It's not easily reproduced and happens on
a handful of machines only. I guess that's why. But that does not make
it less serious, I think.
Though there actually is a report here:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=196443
And there are reports for Fedora from July:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=

mm/gup.c: teach get_user_pages_unlocked to handle FOLL_NOWAIT
KVM is hanging during postcopy live migration with userfaultfd because
get_user_pages_unlocked is not capable to handle FOLL_NOWAIT.
Earlier FOLL_NOWAIT was only ever passed to get_user_pages.
Specifically faultin_page (the callee of get_user_pages_unlocked caller)
doesn't know that if FAULT_FLAG_RETRY_NOWAIT was set in the page fault
flags, when VM_FAULT_RETRY is returned, the mmap_sem wasn't actually
released (even if nonblocking is not NULL). So it sets *nonblocking to
zero and the caller won't release the mmap_sem thinking it was already
released, but it wasn't because of FOLL_NOWAIT.

lib/bug.c: exclude non-BUG/WARN exceptions from report_bug()
Commit
b8347c219649 ("x86/debug: Handle warnings before the notifier
chain, to fix KGDB crash") changed the ordering of fixups, and did not
take into account the case of x86 processing non-WARN() and non-BUG()
exceptions. This would lead to output of a false BUG line with no other
information.
In the case of a refcount exception, it would be immediately followed by
the refcount WARN(), producing very strange double-"cut here":
lkdtm: attempting bad refcount_inc() overflow
------------[ cut here ]------------
Kernel BUG at
0000000065f29de5 [verbose debug info unavailable]
------------[ cut here ]------------
refcount_t overflow at lkdtm_REFCOUNT_INC_OVERFLOW+0x6b/0x90 in cat[3065], uid/euid: 0/0
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 3065 at kernel/panic.c:657 refcount_error_report+0x9a/0xa4
...
In the prior ordering, exceptions were searched first:
do_trap_no_signal(struct task_struct *tsk, int trapnr, char *str,
...
if (fixup_exception(regs, trapnr))
return 0;
- if (fixup_bug(regs, trapnr))
- return 0;
-
As a result, fixup_bugs()'s is_valid_bugaddr() didn't take into account
needing to search the exception list first, since that had already
happened.
So, instead of searching the exception list twice (once in
is_valid_bugaddr() and then again in fixup_exception()), just add a
simple sanity check to report_bug() that will immediately bail out if a
BUG() (or WARN()) entry is not found.

The bug was bisected to
0c397daea1d4 ("mm, hugetlb: further simplify
hugetlb allocation API").
The reason is that alloc_surplus_huge_page() misaccounts per node
surplus pages. We should increase surplus_huge_pages_node rather than
nr_huge_pages_node which is already handled by alloc_fresh_huge_page.
