commit: 86051ca5eaf5e560113ec7673462804c54284456 upstream

usemap must be initialized only when pfn is within zone.  If not, it corrupts
memory.

And this patch also reduces the number of calls to set_pageblock_migratetype()
from
	(pfn &amp; (pageblock_nr_pages -1)
to
	!(pfn &amp; (pageblock_nr_pages-1)
it should be called once per pageblock.

commit 556637cdabcd5918c7d4a1a2679b8f86fc81e891 upstream


After the loop in walk_pte_range() pte might point to the first address after
the pmd it walks.  The pte_unmap() is then applied to something bad.

When I used a test program to fork mass processes and immediately move them to
a cgroup where the memory limit is low enough to trigger oom kill, I got oops:

It's reproducable in a x86_64 box, but doesn't happen in x86_32.

This is because tsk-&gt;sighand is not guarded by RCU, so we have to
hold tasklist_lock, just as what out_of_memory() does.

<title>mm: sparsemem memory_present() fix</title>

<id>bead9a3abd15710b0bdfd418daef606722d86282</id>
<content type='text'>
Fix memory corruption and crash on 32-bit x86 systems.

If a !PAE x86 kernel is booted on a 32-bit system with more than 4GB of
RAM, then we call memory_present() with a start/end that goes outside
the scope of MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS.

That causes this loop to happily walk over the limit of the sparse
memory section map:

    for (pfn = start; pfn &lt; end; pfn += PAGES_PER_SECTION) {
                unsigned long section = pfn_to_section_nr(pfn);
                struct mem_section *ms;

                sparse_index_init(section, nid);
                set_section_nid(section, nid);

                ms = __nr_to_section(section);
                if (!ms-&gt;section_mem_map)
                        ms-&gt;section_mem_map = sparse_encode_early_nid(nid) |
			                                SECTION_MARKED_PRESENT;

'ms' will be out of bounds and we'll corrupt a small amount of memory by
encoding the node ID and writing SECTION_MARKED_PRESENT (==0x1) over it.

The corruption might happen when encoding a non-zero node ID, or due to
the SECTION_MARKED_PRESENT which is 0x1:

	mmzone.h:#define	SECTION_MARKED_PRESENT	(1UL&lt;&lt;0)

The fix is to sanity check anything the architecture passes to
sparsemem.

This bug seems to be rather old (as old as sparsemem support itself),
but the exact incarnation depended on random details like configs, which
made this bug more prominent in v2.6.25-to-be.

An additional enhancement might be to print a warning about ignored or
trimmed memory ranges.

			                                SECTION_MARKED_PRESENT;

'ms' will be out of bounds and we'll corrupt a small amount of memory by
encoding the node ID and writing SECTION_MARKED_PRESENT (==0x1) over it.

The corruption might happen when encoding a non-zero node ID, or due to
the SECTION_MARKED_PRESENT which is 0x1:

	mmzone.h:#define	SECTION_MARKED_PRESENT	(1UL&lt;&lt;0)

The fix is to sanity check anything the architecture passes to
sparsemem.

This bug seems to be rather old (as old as sparsemem support itself),
but the exact incarnation depended on random details like configs, which
made this bug more prominent in v2.6.25-to-be.

An additional enhancement might be to print a warning about ignored or
trimmed memory ranges.

This should be N_NORMAL_MEMORY.

N_NORMAL_MEMORY is "true" if a node has memory for the kernel.  N_HIGH_MEMORY
is "true" if a node has memory for HIGHMEM.  (If CONFIG_HIGHMEM=n, always
"true")

This check is used for testing whether we can use kmalloc_node() on a node.
Then, if there is a node which only contains HIGHMEM, the system will call
kmalloc_node() which doesn't contain memory for the kernel.  If it happens
under SLUB, the kernel will panic.  I think this only happens on x86_32-numa.

<title>memory controller: make memory resource control aware of boot options</title>

A boot option for the memory controller was discussed on lkml.  It is a good
idea to add it, since it saves memory for people who want to turn off the
memory controller.

By default the option is on for the following two reasons:

1. It provides compatibility with the current scheme where the memory
   controller turns on if the config option is enabled
2. It allows for wider testing of the memory controller, once the config
   option is enabled

We still allow the create, destroy callbacks to succeed, since they are not
aware of boot options.  We do not populate the directory will memory resource
controller specific files.

Small typo in the patch recently merged to avoid the unused symbol
message for count_partial(). Discussion thread with confirmation of fix at
http://marc.info/?t=120696854400001&amp;r=1&amp;w=2

Typo in the check if we need the count_partial function that was
introduced by 53625b4204753b904addd40ca96d9ba802e6977d

<title>Revert "SLUB: remove useless masking of GFP_ZERO"</title>

<content type='text'>
This reverts commit 3811dbf67162bd08412f1b0e02e554f353e93bdb.

The masking was not at all useless, and it was sensible.  We handle
GFP_ZERO in the caller, and passing it down to any page allocator logic
is buggy and wrong.
