Recently we added a new functionality for users to indicate cold files

Key config in (config-r8855) is CONFIG_BLOCK.
Obviously, f2fs works on top of the block device so that we should consider

f2fs: add recovery routines for roll-forward
This adds roll-forward routines to recover fsynced data.
- F2FS uses basically roll-back model with checkpointing.
- In order to implement fsync(), there are two approaches as follows.
1. A roll-back model with checkpointing at every fsync()
: This is a naive method, but suffers from very low performance.
2. A roll-forward model
: F2FS adopts this model where all the fsynced data should be recovered, which
were written after checkpointing was done. In order to figure out the data,
F2FS keeps a "fsync" mark in direct node blocks. In addition, F2FS remains
the location of next node block in each direct node block for reconstructing
the chain of node blocks during the recovery.
- In order to enhance the performance, F2FS keeps a "dentry" mark also in direct
node blocks. If this is set during the recovery, F2FS replays adding a dentry.

f2fs: add garbage collection functions
This adds on-demand and background cleaning functions.
- The basic background cleaning policy is trying to do cleaning jobs as much as
possible whenever the system is idle. Once the background cleaning is done,
the cleaner sleeps an amount of time not to interfere with VFS calls. The time
is dynamically adjusted according to the status of whole segments, which is
decreased when the following conditions are satisfied.
. GC is not conducted currently, and
. IO subsystem is idle by checking the number of requets in bdev's request
list, and
. There are enough dirty segments.
Otherwise, the time is increased incrementally until to the maximum time.
Note that, min and max times are 10 secs and 30 secs by default.
- F2FS adopts a default victim selection policy where background cleaning uses
a cost-benefit algorithm, while on-demand cleaning uses a greedy algorithm.
- The method of moving data during the cleaning is slightly different between
background and on-demand cleaning schemes. In the case of background cleaning,
F2FS loads the data, and marks them as dirty. Then, F2FS expects that the data
will be moved by flusher or VM. In the case of on-demand cleaning, F2FS should
move the data right away.
- In order to identify valid blocks in a victim segment, F2FS scans the bitmap
of the segment managed as an SIT entry.

This adds specific functions not only to manage dirty/free segments, SIT pages,
a cache for SIT entries, and summary entries, but also to allocate free blocks
and write three types of pages: data, node, and meta.
- F2FS maintains three types of bitmaps in memory, which indicate free, prefree,
and dirty segments respectively.
- The key information of an SIT entry consists of a segment number, the number
of valid blocks in the segment, a bitmap to identify there-in valid or invalid
blocks.
- An SIT page is composed of a certain range of SIT entries, which is maintained
by the address space of meta_inode.
- To cache SIT entries, a simple array is used. The index for the array is the
segment number.
- A summary entry for data contains the parent node information. A summary entry
for node contains its node offset from the inode.
- F2FS manages information about six active logs and those summary entries in
memory. Whenever one of them is changed, its summary entries are flushed to
its SIT page maintained by the address space of meta_inode.
- This patch adds a default block allocation function which supports heap-based
allocation policy.
- This patch adds core functions to write data, node, and meta pages. Since LFS

- An NAT page is composed of block addresses covered by a certain range of NAT

- A radix tree structure is used to cache NAT entries. The index for the tree

In particular, address comparisons in the request byte code

Also, address family and address prefix lengths were not validated

This means arbitrary applications can read past the end of certain

Fixes from Neal Cardwell.
2) ip_check_defrag() operates in contexts where we're in the process
of, or about to, input the packet into the real protocols
(specifically macvlan and AF_PACKET snooping).
Unfortunately, it does a pskb_may_pull() which can modify the
backing packet data which is not legal if the SKB is shared. It
very much can be shared in this context.
Deal with the possibility that the SKB is segmented by using
skb_copy_bits().

This is a revert of a revert of a revert. In addition, it reverts the

It turns out that the original patch really was bogus, and that the
original revert was the correct thing to do after all. We thought we
had fixed the problem, and then reverted the revert, but the problem
really is fundamental: waking up kswapd simply isn't the right thing to
do, and direct reclaim sometimes simply _is_ the right thing to do.
When certain allocations fail, we simply should try some direct reclaim,
and if that fails, fail the allocation. That's the right thing to do
for THP allocations, which can easily fail, and the GPU allocations want
to do that too.
So starting kswapd is sometimes simply wrong, and removing the flag that
said "don't start kswapd" was a mistake. Let's hope we never revisit
this mistake again - and certainly not this many times ;)

inet_diag: validate port comparison byte code to prevent unsafe reads
Add logic to verify that a port comparison byte code operation
actually has the second inet_diag_bc_op from which we read the port

Previously the code blindly referenced op[1] without first checking
whether a second inet_diag_bc_op struct could fit there. So a
malicious user could make the kernel read 4 bytes beyond the end of
the bytecode array by claiming to have a whole port comparison byte

inet_diag: avoid unsafe and nonsensical prefix matches in inet_diag_bc_run()
Add logic to check the address family of the user-supplied conditional

prefix matching of addresses from different address families (AF_INET
vs AF_INET6), except for the previously existing support for having an
IPv4 prefix match an IPv4-mapped IPv6 address (which this commit
maintains as-is).
This change is needed for two reasons:
(1) The addresses are different lengths, so comparing a 128-bit IPv6
prefix match condition to a 32-bit IPv4 connection address can cause
us to unwittingly walk off the end of the IPv4 address and read
garbage or oops.
(2) The IPv4 and IPv6 address spaces are semantically distinct, so a
simple bit-wise comparison of the prefixes is not meaningful, and
would lead to bogus results (except for the IPv4-mapped IPv6 case,
which this commit maintains).

Fix inet_diag to be aware of the fact that AF_INET6 TCP connections

means that for such connections inet6_rsk(req) returns a pointer to a

which now happens unconditionally on higher order reclaim.
This messes up the reclaim throttling logic for zones with
dirty/writeback pages, where zones should only lose their congestion
status when their watermarks have been restored.
Remove the clearing from the zone compaction section entirely. The

The direct-IO write path already had the i_size checks in mm/filemap.c,

bbec0270bdd8: "blkdev_max_block: make

Fix it by truncating the IO to the size of the block device, like the

NOTE! I suspect the write path would be *much* better off doing it this
way in fs/block_dev.c, rather than hidden deep in mm/filemap.c. The
mm/filemap.c code is extremely hard to follow, and has various
conditionals on the target being a block device (ie the flag passed in
to 'generic_write_checks()', along with a conditional update of the
inode timestamp etc).
It is also quite possible that we should treat this whole block device

If SYN-ACK partially acks SYN-data, the client retransmits the
remaining data by tcp_retransmit_skb(). This increments lost recovery

happens before the retransmission is acked, it triggers the WARN_ON
check in tcp_fastretrans_alert(). For example: the client sends
SYN-data, gets SYN-ACK acking only ISN, retransmits data, sends
another 4 data packets and get 3 dupacks.
Since the retransmission is not caused by network drop it should not
update the recovery state variables. Further the server may return a
smaller MSS than the cached MSS used for SYN-data, so the retranmission
needs a loop. Otherwise some data will not be retransmitted until timeout

Commit
00442ad04a5e ("mempolicy: fix a memory corruption by refcount

refcount on a shmem shared mempolicy; whereas shmem_alloc_page() went
on expecting alloc_page_vma() to drop the refcount it had acquired.
This deserves a rework: but for now fix the leak in shmem_alloc_page().
Hugh: shmem_swapin() did not need a fix, but surely it's clearer to use
the same refcounting there as in shmem_alloc_page(), delete its onstack
mempolicy, and the strange mpol_cond_copy() and __mpol_cond_copy() -
those were invented to let swapin_readahead() make an unknown number of
calls to alloc_pages_vma() with one mempolicy; but since

alloc_pages_vma() has kept refcount in balance, so now no problem.

mm: vmscan: do not keep kswapd looping forever due to individual uncompactable zones
When a zone meets its high watermark and is compactable in case of
higher order allocations, it contributes to the percentage of the node's
memory that is considered balanced.
This requirement, that a node be only partially balanced, came about
when kswapd was desparately trying to balance tiny zones when all bigger
zones in the node had plenty of free memory. Arguably, the same should
apply to compaction: if a significant part of the node is balanced
enough to run compaction, do not get hung up on that tiny zone that
might never get in shape.
When the compaction logic in kswapd is reached, we know that at least
25% of the node's memory is balanced properly for compaction (see
zone_balanced and pgdat_balanced). Remove the individual zone checks
that restart the kswapd cycle.
Otherwise, we may observe more endless looping in kswapd where the
compaction code loops back to reclaim because of a single zone and
reclaim does nothing because the node is considered balanced overall.

0bf380bc70ec ("mm: compaction: check pfn_valid when entering a

check for pfn_valid() when isolating pages for migration as the scanner
does not necessarily start pageblock-aligned.
Since commit
c89511ab2f8f ("mm: compaction: Restart compaction from near
where it left off"), the free scanner has the same problem. This patch
makes sure that the pfn range passed to isolate_freepages_block() is
within the same block so that pfn_valid() checks are unnecessary.
In answer to Henrik's wondering why others have not reported this:
reproducing this requires a large enough hole with the right aligment to
have compaction walk into a PFN range with no memmap. Size and
alignment depends in the memory model - 4M for FLATMEM and 128M for
SPARSEMEM on x86. It needs a "lucky" machine.

A real-life scenario is a child of 'khelper' returning from a failed

kernel_execve() fails due to a pending SIGKILL, which is the result of
"kill -9 -1" (at least, busybox's init does it upon reboot).
The loop is as follows:
* syscall_exit_work:
- work_pending: // start_of_the_loop
- work_notifysig:
- do_notify_resume()
- do_signal()
- if (!user_mode(regs)) return;
- resume_userspace // TIF_SIGPENDING is still set

"So, safe fixes my ass.
Commit
8852aac25e79 ("workqueue: mod_delayed_work_on() shouldn't queue
timer on 0 delay") had the side-effect of performing delayed_work
sanity checks even when @delay is 0, which should be fine for any sane
use cases.
Unfortunately, megaraid was being overly ingenious. It seemingly
wanted to use cancel_delayed_work_sync() before cancel_work_sync() was
introduced, but didn't want to waste the space for full delayed_work
as it was only going to use 0 @delay. So, it only allocated space for
struct work_struct and then cast it to struct delayed_work and passed
it into delayed_work functions - truly awesome engineering tradeoff to
save some bytes.
Xiaotian fixed it by making megraid allocate full delayed_work for
now. It should be converted to use work_struct and cancel_work_sync()
but I think we better do that after 3.7.
I added another commit to change BUG_ON()s in __queue_delayed_work()
to WARN_ON_ONCE()s so that the kernel doesn't crash even if there are
more such abuses."

vfs: avoid "attempt to access beyond end of device" warnings
The block device access simplification that avoided accessing the (racy)
block size information (commit
bbec0270bdd8: "blkdev_max_block: make
private to fs/buffer.c") no longer checks the maximum block size in the
block mapping path.
That was _almost_ as simple as just removing the code entirely, because
the readers and writers all check the size of the device anyway, so
under normal circumstances it "just worked".
However, the block size may be such that the end of the device may
straddle one single buffer_head. At which point we may still want to
access the end of the device, but the buffer we use to access it
partially extends past the end.
The 'bd_set_size()' function intentionally sets the block size to avoid
this, but mounting the device - or setting the block size by hand to
some other value - can modify that block size.
So instead, teach 'submit_bh()' about the special case of the buffer
head straddling the end of the device, and turning such an access into a
smaller IO access, avoiding the problem.
This, btw, also means that unlike before, we can now access the whole
device regardless of device block size setting. So now, even if the
device size is only 512-byte aligned, we can read and write even the
last sector even when having a much bigger block size for accessing the
rest of the device.
So with this, we could now get rid of the 'bd_set_size()' block size
code entirely - resulting in faster IO for the common case - but that
would be a separate patch.

workqueue: convert BUG_ON()s in __queue_delayed_work() to WARN_ON_ONCE()s
8852aac25e ("workqueue: mod_delayed_work_on() shouldn't queue timer on

megaraid - it allocated work_struct, casted it to delayed_work and

Previously, this was okay because 0 @delay short-circuited to
queue_work() before doing anything with delayed_work.
8852aac25e

delayed_work making megaraid trigger BUG_ON().

MIPS: Avoid mcheck by flushing page range in huge_ptep_set_access_flags()
Problem:
1) Huge page mapping of anonymous memory is initially invalid. Will be
faulted in by copy-on-write mechanism.
2) Userspace attempts store at the end of the huge mapping.
3) TLB Refill exception handler fill TLB with a normal (4K sized)
invalid page at the end of the huge mapping virtual address range.
4) Userspace restarted, and re-attempts the store at the end of the
huge mapping.
5) Page from #3 is invalid, we get a fault and go to the hugepage
fault handler. This tries to map a huge page and calls
huge_ptep_set_access_flags() to install the mapping.
6) We just call the generic ptep_set_access_flags() to set up the page
tables, but the flush there assumes a normal (4K sized) page and
only tries to flush the first part of the huge page virtual address
out of the TLB, since the existing entry from step #3 doesn't
conflict, nothing is flushed.
7) We attempt to load the mapping into the TLB, but because it
conflicts with the entry from step #3, we get a Machine Check

The fix: Flush the entire rage covered by the huge page in
huge_ptep_set_access_flags(), and remove the optimization in
local_flush_tlb_range() so that the flush actually does the correct
thing.

"Unfortunately, I have two really late fixes. One was for a
long-standing bug and queued for 3.8 but I found out about a
regression introduced during 3.7-rc1 two days ago, so I'm sending out
the two fixes together.
The first (long-standing) one is rescuer_thread() entering exit path
w/ TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE. It only triggers on workqueue destructions
which isn't very frequent and the exit path can usually survive being
called with TASK_INTERRUPT, so it was hidden pretty well. Apparently,
if you're reiserfs, this could lead to the exiting kthread sleeping
indefinitely holding a mutex, which is never good.
The fix is simple - restoring TASK_RUNNING before returning from the
kthread function.
The second one is introduced by the new mod_delayed_work().
mod_delayed_work() was missing special case handling for 0 delay.
Instead of queueing the work item immediately, it queued the timer
which expires on the closest next tick. Some users of the new
function converted from "[__]cancel_delayed_work() +
queue_delayed_work()" combination became unhappy with the extra delay.
Block unplugging led to noticeably higher number of context switches
and intel 6250 wireless failed to associate with WPA-Enterprise
network. The fix, again, is fairly simple. The 0 delay special case
logic from queue_delayed_work_on() should be moved to
__queue_delayed_work() which is shared by both queue_delayed_work_on()
and mod_delayed_work_on().
The first one is difficult to trigger and the failure mode for the
latter isn't completely catastrophic, so missing these two for 3.7
wouldn't make it a disastrous release, but both bugs are nasty and the

directly queues it using queue_work_on() while the former schedules
timer which will expire on the closest tick. This means, when @delay
is zero, that [__]cancel_delayed_work() + queue_delayed_work_on()
makes the target item immediately executable while
mod_delayed_work_on() may induce delay of upto a full tick.
This somewhat subtle difference breaks some of the converted users.
e.g. block queue plugging uses delayed_work for deferred processing
and uses mod_delayed_work_on() when the queue needs to be immediately
unplugged. The above problem manifested as noticeably higher number
of context switches under certain circumstances.
The difference in behavior was caused by missing special case handling
for 0 delay in mod_delayed_work_on() compared to
queue_delayed_work_on(). Joonsoo Kim posted a patch to add it -
("workqueue: optimize mod_delayed_work_on() when @delay == 0")[1].
The patch was queued for 3.8 but it was described as optimization and
I missed that it was a correctness issue.
As both queue_delayed_work_on() and mod_delayed_work_on() use
__queue_delayed_work() for queueing, it seems that the better approach
is to move the 0 delay special handling to the function instead of
duplicating it in mod_delayed_work_on().
Fix the problem by moving 0 delay special case handling from
queue_delayed_work_on() to __queue_delayed_work(). This replaces
Joonsoo's patch.

workqueue: exit rescuer_thread() as TASK_RUNNING
A rescue thread exiting TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE can lead to a task scheduling
off, never to be seen again. In the case where this occurred, an exiting
thread hit reiserfs homebrew conditional resched while holding a mutex,
bringing the box to its knees.
