Some drivers do depend on page mappings to be page aligned.

Swiotlb already enforces such alignment for mappings greater than page,
extend that to page-sized mappings as well.

Without this fix, nvme hits BUG() in nvme_setup_prps(), because that routine
assumes page-aligned mappings.

The logics in pipe_advance() used to release all buffers past the new
position failed in cases when the number of buffers to release was equal
to pipe-&gt;buffers.  If that happened, none of them had been released,
leaving pipe full.  Worse, it was trivial to trigger and we end up with
pipe full of uninitialized pages.  IOW, it's an infoleak.

The build of frv allmodconfig was failing with the errors like:

  /tmp/cc0JSPc3.s: Assembler messages:
  /tmp/cc0JSPc3.s:1839: Error: symbol `.LSLT0' is already defined
  /tmp/cc0JSPc3.s:1842: Error: symbol `.LASLTP0' is already defined
  /tmp/cc0JSPc3.s:1969: Error: symbol `.LELTP0' is already defined
  /tmp/cc0JSPc3.s:1970: Error: symbol `.LELT0' is already defined

Commit 866ced950bcd ("kbuild: Support split debug info v4") introduced
splitting the debug info and keeping that in a separate file.  Somehow,
the frv-linux gcc did not like that and I am guessing that instead of
splitting it started copying.  The first report about this is at:

  https://lists.01.org/pipermail/kbuild-all/2015-July/010527.html.

I will try and see if this can work with frv and if still fails I will
open a bug report with gcc.  But meanwhile this is the easiest option to
solve build failure of frv.

<title>mm: workingset: fix use-after-free in shadow node shrinker</title>
<updated>2017-01-08T02:22:40+00:00</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.toradex.cn/cgit/linux-toradex.git/commit/?id=ea07b862ac8ef9b8c8358517d2e39f847dda6659'/>
<id>ea07b862ac8ef9b8c8358517d2e39f847dda6659</id>
<content type='text'>
Several people report seeing warnings about inconsistent radix tree
nodes followed by crashes in the workingset code, which all looked like
use-after-free access from the shadow node shrinker.

Dave Jones managed to reproduce the issue with a debug patch applied,
which confirmed that the radix tree shrinking indeed frees shadow nodes
while they are still linked to the shadow LRU:

  WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 53 at lib/radix-tree.c:643 delete_node+0x1e4/0x200
  CPU: 2 PID: 53 Comm: kswapd0 Not tainted 4.10.0-rc2-think+ #3
  Call Trace:
     delete_node+0x1e4/0x200
     __radix_tree_delete_node+0xd/0x10
     shadow_lru_isolate+0xe6/0x220
     __list_lru_walk_one.isra.4+0x9b/0x190

     shrink_slab.part.44+0x23d/0x5d0
     shrink_node+0x22c/0x330
     kswapd+0x392/0x8f0

This is the WARN_ON_ONCE(!list_empty(&amp;node-&gt;private_list)) placed in the
inlined radix_tree_shrink().

The problem is with 14b468791fa9 ("mm: workingset: move shadow entry
tracking to radix tree exceptional tracking"), which passes an update
callback into the radix tree to link and unlink shadow leaf nodes when
tree entries change, but forgot to pass the callback when reclaiming a
shadow node.

While the reclaimed shadow node itself is unlinked by the shrinker, its
deletion from the tree can cause the left-most leaf node in the tree to
be shrunk.  If that happens to be a shadow node as well, we don't unlink
it from the LRU as we should.

Consider this tree, where the s are shadow entries:

       root-&gt;rnode
            |
       [0       n]
        |       |
     [s    ] [sssss]

Now the shadow node shrinker reclaims the rightmost leaf node through
the shadow node LRU:

       root-&gt;rnode
            |
       [0        ]
        |
    [s     ]

Because the parent of the deleted node is the first level below the
root and has only one child in the left-most slot, the intermediate
level is shrunk and the node containing the single shadow is put in
its place:

       root-&gt;rnode
            |
       [s        ]

The shrinker again sees a single left-most slot in a first level node
and thus decides to store the shadow in root-&gt;rnode directly and free
the node - which is a leaf node on the shadow node LRU.

  root-&gt;rnode
       |
       s

Without the update callback, the freed node remains on the shadow LRU,
where it causes later shrinker runs to crash.

Pass the node updater callback into __radix_tree_delete_node() in case
the deletion causes the left-most branch in the tree to collapse too.

Also add warnings when linked nodes are freed right away, rather than
wait for the use-after-free when the list is scanned much later.

So they can figure out what is the optimal number of pages
that can be contingously stitched together without fear of
bounce buffer.

We also expose an mechanism for sub-users of SWIOTLB API, such
as Xen-SWIOTLB to set the max segment value. And lastly
if swiotlb=force is set (which mandates we bounce buffer everything)
we set max_segment so at least we can bounce buffer one 4K page
instead of a giant 512KB one for which we may not have space.

Pull timer type cleanups from Thomas Gleixner:
 "This series does a tree wide cleanup of types related to
  timers/timekeeping.

   - Get rid of cycles_t and use a plain u64. The type is not really
     helpful and caused more confusion than clarity

   - Get rid of the ktime union. The union has become useless as we use
     the scalar nanoseconds storage unconditionally now. The 32bit
     timespec alike storage got removed due to the Y2038 limitations
     some time ago.

     That leaves the odd union access around for no reason. Clean it up.

  Both changes have been done with coccinelle and a small amount of
  manual mopping up"

Pull SMP hotplug notifier removal from Thomas Gleixner:
 "This is the final cleanup of the hotplug notifier infrastructure. The
  series has been reintgrated in the last two days because there came a
  new driver using the old infrastructure via the SCSI tree.

  Summary:

   - convert the last leftover drivers utilizing notifiers

   - fixup for a completely broken hotplug user

   - prevent setup of already used states

   - removal of the notifiers

   - treewide cleanup of hotplug state names

   - consolidation of state space

  There is a sphinx based documentation pending, but that needs review
  from the documentation folks"
