ocfs2: fix NULL pointer dereference in __ocfs2_change_file_space()

2012-07-16T16:04:45Z

commit a4e08d001f2e50bb8b3c4eebadcf08e5535f02ee upstream. As ocfs2_fallocate() will invoke __ocfs2_change_file_space() with a NULL as the first parameter (file), it may trigger a NULL pointer dereferrence due to a missing check.

memblock: free allocated memblock_reserved_regions later

2012-07-16T16:04:45Z

commit 29f6738609e40227dabcc63bfb3b84b3726a75bd upstream. memblock_free_reserved_regions() calls memblock_free(), but memblock_free() would double reserved.regions too, so we could free the old range for reserved.regions. Also tj said there is another bug which could be related to this. | I don't think we're saving any noticeable | amount by doing this "free - give it to page allocator - reserve | again" dancing. We should just allocate regions aligned to page | boundaries and free them later when memblock is no longer in use. in that case, when DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, will get panic: memblock_free: [0x0000102febc080-0x0000102febf080] memblock_free_reserved_regions+0x37/0x39 BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffff88102febd948 IP: [] __next_free_mem_range+0x9b/0x155 PGD 4826063 PUD cf67a067 PMD cf7fa067 PTE 800000102febd160 Oops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP DEBUG_PAGEALLOC CPU 0 Pid: 0, comm: swapper Not tainted 3.5.0-rc2-next-20120614-sasha #447 RIP: 0010:[] [] __next_free_mem_range+0x9b/0x155 See the discussion at https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/6/13/469 So try to allocate with PAGE_SIZE alignment and free it later.

fs: ramfs: file-nommu: add SetPageUptodate()

2012-07-16T16:04:45Z

commit fea9f718b3d68147f162ed2d870183ce5e0ad8d8 upstream. There is a bug in the below scenario for !CONFIG_MMU: 1. create a new file 2. mmap the file and write to it 3. read the file can't get the correct value Because sys_read() -> generic_file_aio_read() -> simple_readpage() -> clear_page() which causes the page to be zeroed. Add SetPageUptodate() to ramfs_nommu_expand_for_mapping() so that generic_file_aio_read() do not call simple_readpage().

mm, thp: abort compaction if migration page cannot be charged to memcg

2012-07-16T16:04:44Z

commit 4bf2bba3750f10aa9e62e6949bc7e8329990f01b upstream. If page migration cannot charge the temporary page to the memcg, migrate_pages() will return -ENOMEM. This isn't considered in memory compaction however, and the loop continues to iterate over all pageblocks trying to isolate and migrate pages. If a small number of very large memcgs happen to be oom, however, these attempts will mostly be futile leading to an enormous amout of cpu consumption due to the page migration failures. This patch will short circuit and fail memory compaction if migrate_pages() returns -ENOMEM. COMPACT_PARTIAL is returned in case some migrations were successful so that the page allocator will retry.

memory hotplug: fix invalid memory access caused by stale kswapd pointer

2012-07-16T16:04:44Z

commit d8adde17e5f858427504725218c56aef90e90fc7 upstream. kswapd_stop() is called to destroy the kswapd work thread when all memory of a NUMA node has been offlined. But kswapd_stop() only terminates the work thread without resetting NODE_DATA(nid)->kswapd to NULL. The stale pointer will prevent kswapd_run() from creating a new work thread when adding memory to the memory-less NUMA node again. Eventually the stale pointer may cause invalid memory access. An example stack dump as below. It's reproduced with 2.6.32, but latest kernel has the same issue.
