During developemnt for zram-swap asynchronous writeback, I found strange
corruption of compressed page, resulting in:

  Modules linked in: zram(E)

With investigation, it reveals currently stable page doesn't support
anonymous page.  IOW, reuse_swap_page can reuse the page without waiting
writeback completion so it can overwrite page zram is compressing.

Unfortunately, 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 unless stable page supports. So, If the data is
changed under us, zram can make buffer overrun because second
compression size could be bigger than one we got in previous trial
and blindly, copy bigger size object to smaller buffer which is
buffer overrun. The overrun breaks zsmalloc free object chaining
so system goes crash like above.

I think below is same problem.
https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=997574

Unfortunately, reuse_swap_page should be atomic so that we cannot wait on
writeback in there so the approach in this patch is simply return false if
we found it needs stable page.  Although it increases memory footprint
temporarily, it happens rarely and it should be reclaimed easily althoug
it happened.  Also, It would be better than waiting of IO completion,
which is critial path for application latency.

<title>mm: add three more cond_resched() in swapoff</title>

Add a cond_resched() in the unuse_pmd_range() loop (so as to call it
even when pmd none or trans_huge, like zap_pmd_range() does); and in the
unuse_mm() loop (since that might skip over many vmas).  shmem_unuse()
and radix_tree_locate_item() look good enough already.

Those were the obvious places, but in fact the stalls came from
find_next_to_unuse(), which sometimes scans through many unused entries.
Apply scan_swap_map()'s LATENCY_LIMIT of 256 there too; and only go off
to test frontswap_map when a used entry is found.

When root activates a swap partition whose header has the wrong
endianness, nr_badpages elements of badpages are swabbed before
nr_badpages has been checked, leading to a buffer overrun of up to 8GB.

This normally is not a security issue because it can only be exploited
by root (more specifically, a process with CAP_SYS_ADMIN or the ability
to modify a swap file/partition), and such a process can already e.g.
modify swapped-out memory of any other userspace process on the system.

<title>mm, swap: use offset of swap entry as key of swap cache</title>

<id>f6ab1f7f6b2d8e48c5fc47746a67363b20d79a1d</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch is to improve the performance of swap cache operations when
the type of the swap device is not 0.  Originally, the whole swap entry
value is used as the key of the swap cache, even though there is one
radix tree for each swap device.  If the type of the swap device is not
0, the height of the radix tree of the swap cache will be increased
unnecessary, especially on 64bit architecture.  For example, for a 1GB
swap device on the x86_64 architecture, the height of the radix tree of
the swap cache is 11.  But if the offset of the swap entry is used as
the key of the swap cache, the height of the radix tree of the swap
cache is 4.  The increased height causes unnecessary radix tree
descending and increased cache footprint.

This patch reduces the height of the radix tree of the swap cache via
using the offset of the swap entry instead of the whole swap entry value
as the key of the swap cache.  In 32 processes sequential swap out test
case on a Xeon E5 v3 system with RAM disk as swap, the lock contention
for the spinlock of the swap cache is reduced from 20.15% to 12.19%,
when the type of the swap device is 1.

Use the whole swap entry as key,

swap_cluster_list data structure and its operations are introduced to
provide some better encapsulation for the free cluster and discard
cluster list operations.  This avoid some code duplication, improved the
code readability, and reduced the total line number.

<title>mm: fix the page_swap_info() BUG_ON check</title>

Commit 62c230bc1790 ("mm: add support for a filesystem to activate
swap files and use direct_IO for writing swap pages") replaced the
swap_aops dirty hook from __set_page_dirty_no_writeback() with
swap_set_page_dirty().

For normal cases without these special SWP flags code path falls back to
__set_page_dirty_no_writeback() so the behaviour is expected to be the
same as before.

But swap_set_page_dirty() makes use of the page_swap_info() helper to
get the swap_info_struct to check for the flags like SWP_FILE,
SWP_BLKDEV etc as desired for those features.  This helper has
BUG_ON(!PageSwapCache(page)) which is racy and safe only for the
set_page_dirty_lock() path.

For the set_page_dirty() path which is often needed for cases to be
called from irq context, kswapd() can toggle the flag behind the back
while the call is getting executed when system is low on memory and
heavy swapping is ongoing.

This ends up with undesired kernel panic.

This patch just moves the check outside the helper to its users
appropriately to fix kernel panic for the described path.  Couple of
users of helpers already take care of SwapCache condition so I skipped
them.

<title>mm, frontswap: convert frontswap_enabled to static key</title>

<id>8ea1d2a1985a7ae096edf5850a31d844ad1b8e97</id>
<content type='text'>
I have noticed that frontswap.h first declares "frontswap_enabled" as
extern bool variable, and then overrides it with "#define
frontswap_enabled (1)" for CONFIG_FRONTSWAP=Y or (0) when disabled.  The
bool variable isn't actually instantiated anywhere.

This all looks like an unfinished attempt to make frontswap_enabled
reflect whether a backend is instantiated.  But in the current state,
all frontswap hooks call unconditionally into frontswap.c just to check
if frontswap_ops is non-NULL.  This should at least be checked inline,
but we can further eliminate the overhead when CONFIG_FRONTSWAP is
enabled and no backend registered, using a static key that is initially
disabled, and gets enabled only upon first backend registration.

Thus, checks for "frontswap_enabled" are replaced with
"frontswap_enabled()" wrapping the static key check.  There are two
exceptions:

- xen's selfballoon_process() was testing frontswap_enabled in code guarded
  by #ifdef CONFIG_FRONTSWAP, which was effectively always true when reachable.
  The patch just removes this check. Using frontswap_enabled() does not sound
  correct here, as this can be true even without xen's own backend being
  registered.

- in SYSCALL_DEFINE2(swapon), change the check to IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_FRONTSWAP)
  as it seems the bitmap allocation cannot currently be postponed until a
  backend is registered. This means that frontswap will still have some
  memory overhead by being configured, but without a backend.

After the patch, we can expect that some functions in frontswap.c are
called only when frontswap_ops is non-NULL.  Change the checks there to
VM_BUG_ONs.  While at it, convert other BUG_ONs to VM_BUG_ONs as
frontswap has been stable for some time.

<title>mm: thp: calculate the mapcount correctly for THP pages during WP faults</title>

This will provide fully accuracy to the mapcount calculation in the
write protect faults, so page pinning will not get broken by false
positive copy-on-writes.

total_mapcount() isn't the right calculation needed in
reuse_swap_page(), so this introduces a page_trans_huge_mapcount()
that is effectively the full accurate return value for page_mapcount()
if dealing with Transparent Hugepages, however we only use the
page_trans_huge_mapcount() during COW faults where it strictly needed,
due to its higher runtime cost.

This also provide at practical zero cost the total_mapcount
information which is needed to know if we can still relocate the page
anon_vma to the local vma. If page_trans_huge_mapcount() returns 1 we
can reuse the page no matter if it's a pte or a pmd_trans_huge
triggering the fault, but we can only relocate the page anon_vma to
the local vma-&gt;anon_vma if we're sure it's only this "vma" mapping the
whole THP physical range.

Kirill A. Shutemov discovered the problem with moving the page
anon_vma to the local vma-&gt;anon_vma in a previous version of this
patch and another problem in the way page_move_anon_rmap() was called.

Andrew Morton discovered that CONFIG_SWAP=n wouldn't build in a
previous version, because reuse_swap_page must be a macro to call
page_trans_huge_mapcount from swap.h, so this uses a macro again
instead of an inline function. With this change at least it's a less
dangerous usage than it was before, because "page" is used only once
now, while with the previous code reuse_swap_page(page++) would have
called page_mapcount on page+1 and it would have increased page twice
instead of just once.

Dean Luick noticed an uninitialized variable that could result in a
rmap inefficiency for the non-THP case in a previous version.

<title>mm, fs: get rid of PAGE_CACHE_* and page_cache_{get,release} macros</title>

<content type='text'>
PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time
ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page
cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE.

This promise never materialized.  And unlikely will.

We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to
PAGE_SIZE.  And it's constant source of confusion on whether
PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case,
especially on the border between fs and mm.

Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much
breakage to be doable.

Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special.  They are
not.

The changes are pretty straight-forward:

 - &lt;foo&gt; &lt;&lt; (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -&gt; &lt;foo&gt;;

 - &lt;foo&gt; &gt;&gt; (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -&gt; &lt;foo&gt;;

 - PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -&gt; PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN};

 - page_cache_get() -&gt; get_page();

 - page_cache_release() -&gt; put_page();

This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using
script below.  For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files.
I've called spatch for them manually.

The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to
PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later.

There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach.  I'll
fix them manually in a separate patch.  Comments and documentation also
will be addressed with the separate patch.

Pull drm updates from Dave Airlie:
 "This is the main drm pull request for 4.6 kernel.

  Overall the coolest thing here for me is the nouveau maxwell signed
  firmware support from NVidia, it's taken a long while to extract this
  from them.

  I also wish the ARM vendors just designed one set of display IP, ARM
  display block proliferation is definitely increasing.

  Core:
     - drm_event cleanups
     - Internal API cleanup making mode_fixup optional.
     - Apple GMUX vga switcheroo support.
     - DP AUX testing interface

  Panel:
     - Refactoring of DSI core for use over more transports.

  New driver:
     - ARM hdlcd driver

  i915:
     - FBC/PSR (framebuffer compression, panel self refresh) enabled by default.
     - Ongoing atomic display support work
     - Ongoing runtime PM work
     - Pixel clock limit checks
     - VBT DSI description support
     - GEM fixes
     - GuC firmware scheduler enhancements

  amdkfd:
     - Deferred probing fixes to avoid make file or link ordering.

  amdgpu/radeon:
     - ACP support for i2s audio support.
     - Command Submission/GPU scheduler/GPUVM optimisations
     - Initial GPU reset support for amdgpu

  vmwgfx:
     - Support for DX10 gen mipmaps
     - Pageflipping and other fixes.

  exynos:
     - Exynos5420 SoC support for FIMD
     - Exynos5422 SoC support for MIPI-DSI

  nouveau:
     - GM20x secure boot support - adds acceleration for Maxwell GPUs.
     - GM200 support
     - GM20B clock driver support
     - Power sensors work

  etnaviv:
     - Correctness fixes for GPU cache flushing
     - Better support for i.MX6 systems.

  imx-drm:
     - VBlank IRQ support
     - Fence support
     - OF endpoint support

  msm:
     - HDMI support for 8996 (snapdragon 820)
     - Adreno 430 support
     - Timestamp queries support

  virtio-gpu:
     - Fixes for Android support.

  rockchip:
     - Add support for Innosilicion HDMI

  rcar-du:
     - Support for 4 crtcs
     - R8A7795 support
     - RCar Gen 3 support

  omapdrm:
     - HDMI interlace output support
     - dma-buf import support
     - Refactoring to remove a lot of legacy code.

  tilcdc:
     - Rewrite of pageflipping code
     - dma-buf support
     - pinctrl support

  vc4:
     - HDMI modesetting bug fixes
     - Significant 3D performance improvement.

  fsl-dcu (FreeScale):
     - Lots of fixes

  tegra:
     - Two small fixes

  sti:
     - Atomic support for planes
     - Improved HDMI support"

* 'drm-next' of git://people.freedesktop.org/~airlied/linux: (1063 commits)
  drm/amdgpu: release_pages requires linux/pagemap.h
