Avoid double seq adjustment for loopback traffic
because it causes silent repetition of TCP data. One
example is passive FTP with DNAT rule and difference in the
length of IP addresses.
This patch adds check if packet is sent and
received via loopback device. As the same conntrack is
used both for outgoing and incoming direction, we restrict
seq adjustment to happen only in POSTROUTING.

[Kudos to dhowells for tracking that crap down]
If two processes attempt to cause automounting on the same mountpoint at the
same time, the vfsmount holding the mountpoint will be left with one too few
references on it, causing a BUG when the kernel tries to clean up.
The problem is that lock_mount() drops the caller's reference to the
mountpoint's vfsmount in the case where it finds something already mounted on
the mountpoint as it transits to the mounted filesystem and replaces path->mnt
with the new mountpoint vfsmount.
During a pathwalk, however, we don't take a reference on the vfsmount if it is
the same as the one in the nameidata struct, but do_add_mount() doesn't know
this.
The fix is to make sure we have a ref on the vfsmount of the mountpoint before
calling do_add_mount(). However, if lock_mount() doesn't transit, we're then
left with an extra ref on the mountpoint vfsmount which needs releasing.
We can handle that in follow_managed() by not making assumptions about what
we can and what we cannot get from lookup_mnt() as the current code does.
The callers of follow_managed() expect that reference to path->mnt will be
grabbed iff path->mnt has been changed. follow_managed() and follow_automount()
keep track of whether such reference has been grabbed and assume that it'll
happen in those and only those cases that'll have us return with changed
path->mnt. That assumption is almost correct - it breaks in case of
racing automounts and in even harder to hit race between following a mountpoint
and a couple of mount --move. The thing is, we don't need to make that
assumption at all - after the end of loop in follow_manage() we can check
if path->mnt has ended up unchanged and do mntput() if needed.
The BUG can be reproduced with the following test program:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/wait.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
int pid, ws;
struct stat buf;
pid = fork();
stat(argv[1], &buf);
if (pid > 0) wait(&ws);
return 0;
}
and the following procedure:
(1) Mount an NFS volume that on the server has something else mounted on a
subdirectory. For instance, I can mount / from my server:
mount warthog:/ /mnt -t nfs4 -r
On the server /data has another filesystem mounted on it, so NFS will see
a change in FSID as it walks down the path, and will mark /mnt/data as
being a mountpoint. This will cause the automount code to be triggered.
!!! Do not look inside the mounted fs at this point !!!
(2) Run the above program on a file within the submount to generate two
simultaneous automount requests:
/tmp/forkstat /mnt/data/testfile
(3) Unmount the automounted submount:
umount /mnt/data
(4) Unmount the original mount:
umount /mnt
At this point the kernel should throw a BUG with something like the
following:
BUG: Dentry ffff880032e3c5c0{i=2,n=} still in use (1) [unmount of nfs4 0:12]
Note that the bug appears on the root dentry of the original mount, not the
mountpoint and not the submount because sys_umount() hasn't got to its final
mntput_no_expire() yet, but this isn't so obvious from the call trace:

[<ffffffff8109e1ca>] ? trace_hardirqs_on_caller+0x1fd/0x22f
[<ffffffff816ea86b>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b
as do_umount() is inlined. However, you can see release_mounts() in there.
Note also that it may be necessary to have multiple CPU cores to be able to
trigger this bug.

A reliable way to reproduce this bug is:
Login to KDE, run 'rsnapshot sync', and apt-get install openjdk-6-jdk,
and apt-get remove openjdk-6-jdk.
The buggy part of the patch is this:
struct inode *inode = NULL;
.....
- if (nd.last.name[nd.last.len])
- goto slashes;
inode = dentry->d_inode;
- if (inode)
- ihold(inode);
+ if (nd.last.name[nd.last.len] || !inode)
+ goto slashes;
+ ihold(inode)
...
if (inode)
iput(inode); /* truncate the inode here */
If nd.last.name[nd.last.len] is nonzero (and thus goto slashes branch is taken),
and dentry->d_inode is non-NULL, then this code now does an additional iput on
the inode, which is wrong.
Fix this by only setting the inode variable if nd.last.name[nd.last.len] is 0.

By default, when broadcast or multicast packet are sent from a local
application, they are sent to the interface then looped by the kernel
to other local applications, going throught netfilter hooks in the
process.
These looped packet have their MAC header removed from the skb by the
kernel looping code. This confuse various netfilter's netlink queue,
netlink log and the legacy ip_queue, because they try to extract a
hardware address from these packets, but extracts a part of the IP
header instead.
This patch prevent NFQUEUE, NFLOG and ip_QUEUE to include a MAC header

We have some users of this function that date back to before the vma
list was doubly linked, and just are silly. These days, you can find
the previous vma by just following the vma->vm_prev pointer.
In some cases you don't need any find_vma() lookup at all, and in other
cases you're better off with the regular "find_vma()" that uses the vma
cache front-end lookup.
Some "find_vma_prev()" users are still valid, though. For example, in
the case of a stack that grows up, it can be the case that we don't find
any 'vma' at all (because we're looking up an address that is past the
last vma), and that the stack that we want to grow is the 'prev' vma.
But that kind of special case aside, we generally should prefer to use
'find_vma()'.
Noticed due to a totally unrelated POWER memory corruption bug that just
happened to hit in 'find_vma_prev()' and made me go "Hmm - why are we
using that function here?".

It turns out that it's not actually a build-time check on x86-64 UML,

The VM_STACK_FLAGS define depends on the arch-supplied
VM_STACK_DEFAULT_FLAGS value, and on x86-64 UML we have
arch/um/sys-x86_64/shared/sysdep/vm-flags.h:
#define VM_STACK_DEFAULT_FLAGS \
(test_thread_flag(TIF_IA32) ? vm_stack_flags32 : vm_stack_flags)
#define VM_STACK_DEFAULT_FLAGS vm_stack_flags
(yes, seriously: two different #define's for that thing, with the first
one being inside an "#ifdef TIF_IA32")
It's possible that it is UML that should just be fixed in this area, but
for now let's just undo the (very small) optimization.

When interrupts are delayed due to interrupt masking or due to other
interrupts being serviced the HPET periodic-emuation would fail. This
happened because given an interval t and a time for the current interrupt
m we would compute the next time as t + m. This works until we are
delayed for > t, in which case we would be writing a new value which is in
fact in the past.
This can be solved by computing the next time instead as (k * t) + m where
k is large enough to be in the future. The exact computation of k is
described in a comment to the code.
More detail:
Assuming an interval of 5 between each expected interrupt we have a normal
case of
t0: interrupt, read t0 from comparator, set next interrupt t0 + 5
t5: interrupt, read t5 from comparator, set next interrupt t5 + 5
t10: interrupt, read t10 from comparator, set next interrupt t10 + 5
...
So, what happens when the interrupt is serviced too late?
t0: interrupt, read t0 from comparator, set next interrupt t0 + 5
t11: delayed interrupt serviced, read t5 from comparator, set next
interrupt t5 + 5, which is in the past!
... counter loops ...
t10: Much much later, get the next interrupt.
This can happen either because we have interrupts masked for too long
(some stupid driver goes on a printk rampage) or just because we are
pushing the limits of the interval (too small a period), or both most
probably.
My solution is to read the main counter as well and set the next interrupt
to occur at the right interval, for example:
t0: interrupt, read t0 from comparator, set next interrupt t0 + 5
t11: delayed interrupt serviced, read t5 from comparator, set next
interrupt t15 as t10 has been missed.
t15: back on track.

firefox can stall for 10s of seconds. This patch aborts asynchronous
compaction if too many pages are isolated as it's better to fail a

It is unsafe to run page_count during the physical pfn scan because
compound_head could trip on a dangling pointer when reading
page->first_page if the compound page is being freed by another CPU.

Compaction works with two scanners, a migration and a free scanner. When
the scanners crossover, migration within the zone is complete. The
location of the scanner is recorded on each cycle to avoid excesive
scanning.
When a zone is small and mostly reserved, it's very easy for the migration
scanner to be close to the end of the zone. Then the following situation
can occurs
o migration scanner isolates some pages near the end of the zone
o free scanner starts at the end of the zone but finds that the
migration scanner is already there
o free scanner gets reinitialised for the next cycle as
cc->migrate_pfn + pageblock_nr_pages
moving the free scanner into the next zone
o migration scanner moves into the next zone
When this happens, NR_ISOLATED accounting goes haywire because some of the
accounting happens against the wrong zone. One zones counter remains
positive while the other goes negative even though the overall global
count is accurate. This was reported on X86-32 with !SMP because !SMP
allows the negative counters to be visible. The fact that it is the bug
should theoritically be possible there.

fragmentation_index() returns -1000 when the allocation might succeed
This doesn't match the comment and code in compaction_suitable(). I
thought compaction_suitable should return COMPACT_PARTIAL in -1000
case, because in this case allocation could succeed depending on
watermarks.
The impact of this is that compaction starts and compact_finished() is
called which rechecks the watermarks and the free lists. It should have
the same result in that compaction should not start but is more expensive.

Pages isolated for migration are accounted with the vmstat counters
NR_ISOLATE_[ANON|FILE]. Callers of migrate_pages() are expected to
increment these counters when pages are isolated from the LRU. Once the
pages have been migrated, they are put back on the LRU or freed and the
isolated count is decremented.
Memory failure is not properly accounting for pages it isolates causing
the NR_ISOLATED counters to be negative. On SMP builds, this goes
unnoticed as negative counters are treated as 0 due to expected per-cpu
drift. On UP builds, the counter is treated by too_many_isolated() as a
large value causing processes to enter D state during page reclaim or
compaction. This patch accounts for pages isolated by memory failure
correctly.

CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS controls support for running constructor functions at
kernel init time. According to commit b99b87f70c ("kernel:
constructor support"), gcov (CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL) needs this. However,
CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS currently defaults to y, with no option to disable it,
and CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL depends on it. Instead, default it to n and have
CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL select it, so that the normal case of
CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL=n will result in CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS=n.
Observed in the short list of =y values in a minimal kernel configuration.

Based on Michal Hocko's comment.
We are not draining per cpu cached charges during soft limit reclaim
because background reclaim doesn't care about charges. It tries to free
some memory and charges will not give any.
Cached charges might influence only selection of the biggest soft limit
offender but as the call is done only after the selection has been already
done it makes no change.

For performance, memory cgroup caches some "charge" from res_counter into
per cpu cache. This works well but because it's cache, it needs to be
flushed in some cases. Typical cases are
1. when someone hit limit.
2. when rmdir() is called and need to charges to be 0.
But "1" has problem.
Recently, with large SMP machines, we see many kworker runs because of
flushing memcg's cache. Bad things in implementation are that even if a
cpu contains a cache for memcg not related to a memcg which hits limit,
drain code is called.
This patch does
A) check percpu cache contains a useful data or not.
B) check other asynchronous percpu draining doesn't run.
C) don't call local cpu callback.
(*)This patch avoid changing the calling condition with hard-limit.
When I run "cat 1Gfile > /dev/null" under 300M limit memcg,

Hierarchical reclaim doesn't swap out if memsw and resource limits are
thye same (memsw_is_minimum == true) because we would hit mem+swap limit
anyway (during hard limit reclaim).
If it comes to the soft limit we shouldn't consider memsw_is_minimum at
all because it doesn't make much sense. Either the soft limit is bellow
the hard limit and then we cannot hit mem+swap limit or the direct reclaim
takes a precedence.

What happens is that khugepaged tries to charge a huge page against an mm
whose last possible owner has already exited, and the memory controller
crashes when the stale mm->owner is used to look up the cgroup to charge.
mm->owner has never been set to NULL with the last owner going away, but
nobody cared until khugepaged came along.
Even then it wasn't a problem because the final mmput() on an mm was
forced to acquire and release mmap_sem in write-mode, preventing an
exiting owner to go away while the mmap_sem was held, and until "692e0b3
mm: thp: optimize memcg charge in khugepaged", the memory cgroup charge
was protected by mmap_sem in read-mode.
Instead of going back to relying on the mmap_sem to enforce lifetime of a
task, this patch ensures that mm->owner is properly set to NULL when the
last possible owner is exiting, which the memory controller can handle
just fine.
