commit d72e9a7a93e4f8e9e52491921d99e0c8aa89eb4e upstream.

The copy_page is optimized memcpy for page-alinged address.  If it is
used with non-page aligned address, it can corrupt memory which means
system corruption.  With zram, it can happen with

1. 64K architecture
2. partial IO
3. slub debug

Partial IO need to allocate a page and zram allocates it via kmalloc.
With slub debug, kmalloc(PAGE_SIZE) doesn't return page-size aligned
address.  And finally, copy_page(mem, cmem) corrupts memory.

So, this patch changes it to memcpy.

Actuaully, we don't need to change zram_bvec_write part because zsmalloc
returns page-aligned address in case of PAGE_SIZE class but it's not
good to rely on the internal of zsmalloc.

Note:
 When this patch is merged to stable, clear_page should be fixed, too.
 Unfortunately, recent zram removes it by "same page merge" feature so
 it's hard to backport this patch to -stable tree.

I will handle it when I receive the mail from stable tree maintainer to
merge this patch to backport.

commit 5c7e9ccd91b90d87029261f8856294ee51934cab upstream.

zram hot_add sysfs attribute is a very 'special' attribute - reading
from it creates a new uninitialized zram device.  This file, by a
mistake, can be read by a 'normal' user at the moment, while only root
must be able to create a new zram device, therefore hot_add attribute
must have S_IRUSR mode, not S_IRUGO.

commit 529e71e16403830ae0d737a66c55c5f360f3576b upstream.

The zram hot removal code calls idr_remove() even when zram_remove()
returns an error (typically -EBUSY).  This results in a leftover at the
device release, eventually leading to a crash when the module is
reloaded.

As described in the bug report below, the following procedure would
cause an Oops with zram:

 - provision three zram devices via modprobe zram num_devices=3
 - configure a size for each device
   + echo "1G" &gt; /sys/block/$zram_name/disksize
 - mkfs and mount zram0 only
 - attempt to hot remove all three devices
   + echo 2 &gt; /sys/class/zram-control/hot_remove
   + echo 1 &gt; /sys/class/zram-control/hot_remove
   + echo 0 &gt; /sys/class/zram-control/hot_remove
     - zram0 removal fails with EBUSY, as expected
 - unmount zram0
 - try zram0 hot remove again
   + echo 0 &gt; /sys/class/zram-control/hot_remove
     - fails with ENODEV (unexpected)
 - unload zram kernel module
   + completes successfully
 - zram0 device node still exists
 - attempt to mount /dev/zram0
   + mount command is killed
   + following BUG is encountered

 BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffffffa0002ba0

This patch adds the proper error check in hot_remove_store() not to call
idr_remove() unconditionally.

commit 17ec4cd985780a7e30aa45bb8f272237c12502a4 upstream.

The use of idr_remove() is forbidden in the callback functions of
idr_for_each().  It is therefore unsafe to call idr_remove in
zram_remove().

This patch moves the call to idr_remove() from zram_remove() to
hot_remove_store().  In the detroy_devices() path, idrs are removed by
idr_destroy().  This solves an use-after-free detected by KASan.

commit d913897abace843bba20249f3190167f7895e9c3 upstream.

When we're using LZ4 multi compression streams for zram swap, we found
out page allocation failure message in system running test.  That was
not only once, but a few(2 - 5 times per test).  Also, some failure
cases were continually occurring to try allocation order 3.

In order to make parallel compression private data, we should call
kzalloc() with order 2/3 in runtime(lzo/lz4).  But if there is no order
2/3 size memory to allocate in that time, page allocation fails.  This
patch makes to use vmalloc() as fallback of kmalloc(), this prevents
page alloc failure warning.

After using this, we never found warning message in running test, also
It could reduce process startup latency about 60-120ms in each case.

For reference a call trace :

commit 3d5fe03a3ea013060ebba2a811aeb0f23f56aefa upstream.

We can end up allocating a new compression stream with GFP_KERNEL from
within the IO path, which may result is nested (recursive) IO
operations.  That can introduce problems if the IO path in question is a
reclaimer, holding some locks that will deadlock nested IOs.

Allocate streams and working memory using GFP_NOIO flag, forbidding
recursive IO and FS operations.

Pull block IO poll support from Jens Axboe:
 "Various groups have been doing experimentation around IO polling for
  (really) fast devices.  The code has been reviewed and has been
  sitting on the side for a few releases, but this is now good enough
  for coordinated benchmarking and further experimentation.

  Currently O_DIRECT sync read/write are supported.  A framework is in
  the works that allows scalable stats tracking so we can auto-tune
  this.  And we'll add libaio support as well soon.  Fow now, it's an
  opt-in feature for test purposes"

* 'for-4.4/io-poll' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block:
  direct-io: be sure to assign dio-&gt;bio_bdev for both paths
  directio: add block polling support

  block: add block polling support
  blk-mq: return tag/queue combo in the make_request_fn handlers

<title>zram: keep the exact overcommited value in mem_used_max</title>

<id>1237275580f3e2b998d355b2ff7f84c6b423aa11</id>
<content type='text'>
`mem_used_max' is designed to store the max amount of memory zram consumed
to store the data.  However, it does not represent the actual
'overcommited' (max) value.  The existing code goes to -ENOMEM
overcommited case before it updates `-&gt;stats.max_used_pages', which hides
the reason we went to -ENOMEM in the first place -- we actually used more
memory than `-&gt;limit_pages':

        alloced_pages = zs_get_total_pages(meta-&gt;mem_pool);
        if (zram-&gt;limit_pages &amp;&amp; alloced_pages &gt; zram-&gt;limit_pages) {
                zs_free(meta-&gt;mem_pool, handle);
                ret = -ENOMEM;
                goto out;
        }

        update_used_max(zram, alloced_pages);

Which is misleading.  User will see -ENOMEM, check `-&gt;limit_pages', check
`-&gt;stats.max_used_pages', which will keep the value BEFORE zram passed
`-&gt;limit_pages', and see:
	`-&gt;stats.max_used_pages' &lt; `-&gt;limit_pages'

Move update_used_max() before we do `-&gt;limit_pages' check, so that
user will see:
	`-&gt;stats.max_used_pages' &gt; `-&gt;limit_pages'
should the overcommit and -ENOMEM happen.

`mem_used_max' is designed to store the max amount of memory zram consumed
to store the data.  However, it does not represent the actual
'overcommited' (max) value.  The existing code goes to -ENOMEM
overcommited case before it updates `-&gt;stats.max_used_pages', which hides
the reason we went to -ENOMEM in the first place -- we actually used more
memory than `-&gt;limit_pages':

        alloced_pages = zs_get_total_pages(meta-&gt;mem_pool);
        if (zram-&gt;limit_pages &amp;&amp; alloced_pages &gt; zram-&gt;limit_pages) {
                zs_free(meta-&gt;mem_pool, handle);
                ret = -ENOMEM;
                goto out;
        }

        update_used_max(zram, alloced_pages);

Which is misleading.  User will see -ENOMEM, check `-&gt;limit_pages', check
`-&gt;stats.max_used_pages', which will keep the value BEFORE zram passed
`-&gt;limit_pages', and see:
	`-&gt;stats.max_used_pages' &lt; `-&gt;limit_pages'

Move update_used_max() before we do `-&gt;limit_pages' check, so that
user will see:
	`-&gt;stats.max_used_pages' &gt; `-&gt;limit_pages'
should the overcommit and -ENOMEM happen.
