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.

<title>zram: support BDI_CAP_STABLE_WRITES</title>

commit b09ab054b69b07077bd3292f67e777861ac796e5 upstream.

zram has used per-cpu stream feature from v4.7.  It aims for increasing
cache hit ratio of scratch buffer for compressing.  Downside of that
approach is that zram should ask memory space for compressed page in
per-cpu context which requires stricted gfp flag which could be failed.
If so, it retries to allocate memory space out of per-cpu context so it
could get memory this time and compress the data again, copies it to the
memory space.

In this scenario, zram assumes the data should never be changed but it is
not true without stable page support.  So, If the data is changed under
us, zram can make buffer overrun so that zsmalloc free object chain is
broken so system goes crash like below

   https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=997574

This patch adds BDI_CAP_STABLE_WRITES to zram for declaring "I am block
device needing *stable write*".

commit e7ccfc4ccb703e0f033bd4617580039898e912dd upstream.

Commit b4c5c60920e3 ("zram: avoid lockdep splat by revalidate_disk")
moved revalidate_disk call out of init_lock to avoid lockdep
false-positive splat.  However, commit 08eee69fcf6b ("zram: remove
init_lock in zram_make_request") removed init_lock in IO path so there
is no worry about lockdep splat.  So, let's restore it.

This patch is needed to set BDI_CAP_STABLE_WRITES atomically in next
patch.

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.

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

<title>block/mm: make bdev_ops-&gt;rw_page() take a bool for read/write</title>

<content type='text'>
Commit abf545484d31 changed it from an 'rw' flags type to the
newer ops based interface, but now we're effectively leaking
some bdev internals to the rest of the kernel. Since we only
care about whether it's a read or a write at that level, just
pass in a bool 'is_write' parameter instead.

Then we can also move op_is_write() and friends back under
CONFIG_BLOCK protection.

Commit abf545484d31 changed it from an 'rw' flags type to the
newer ops based interface, but now we're effectively leaking
some bdev internals to the rest of the kernel. Since we only
care about whether it's a read or a write at that level, just
pass in a bool 'is_write' parameter instead.

Then we can also move op_is_write() and friends back under
CONFIG_BLOCK protection.

<title>mm/block: convert rw_page users to bio op use</title>

The rw_page users were not converted to use bio/req ops. As a result
bdev_write_page is not passing down REQ_OP_WRITE and the IOs will
be sent down as reads.

Signed-off-by: Mike Christie &lt;mchristi@redhat.com&gt;
Fixes: 4e1b2d52a80d ("block, fs, drivers: remove REQ_OP compat defs and related code")

Modified by me to:

1) Drop op_flags passing into -&gt;rw_page(), as we don't use it.
2) Make op_is_write() and friends safe to use for !CONFIG_BLOCK

<title>zram: use __GFP_MOVABLE for memory allocation</title>

<content type='text'>
Zsmalloc is ready for page migration so zram can use __GFP_MOVABLE from
now on.

I did test to see how it helps to make higher order pages.  Test
scenario is as follows.

KVM guest, 1G memory, ext4 formated zram block device,

  for i in `seq 1 8`;
  do
          dd if=/dev/vda1 of=mnt/test$i.txt bs=128M count=1 &amp;
  done

  wait `pidof dd`

  for i in `seq 1 2 8`;
  do
          rm -rf mnt/test$i.txt
  done
  fstrim -v mnt

  echo "init"
  cat /proc/buddyinfo

  echo "compaction"
  echo 1 &gt; /proc/sys/vm/compact_memory
  cat /proc/buddyinfo

old:

  compaction

As you can see, compaction made so many high-order pages. Yay!

We now allocate streams from CPU_UP hot-plug path, there are no
context-dependent stream allocations anymore and we can schedule from
zcomp_strm_alloc().  Use GFP_KERNEL directly and drop a gfp_t parameter.
