Factor init_nodemask_of_node() out of the nodemask_of_node() macro. This will be used to populate the huge pages "nodes_allowed" nodemask for a single node when basing nodes_allowed on a preferred/local mempolicy or when a persistent huge page pool page count is modified via a per node sysfs attribute.

In preparation for constraining huge page allocation and freeing by the controlling task's numa mempolicy, add a "nodes_allowed" nodemask pointer to the allocate, free and surplus adjustment functions. For now, pass NULL to indicate default behavior--i.e., use node_online_map. A subsqeuent patch will derive a non-default mask from the controlling task's numa mempolicy. Note that this method of updating the global hstate nr_hugepages under the constraint of a nodemask simplifies keeping the global state consistent--especially the number of persistent and surplus pages relative to reservations and overcommit limits. There are undoubtedly other ways to do this, but this works for both interfaces: mempolicy and per node attributes. [rientjes@google.com: fix HIGHMEM compile error] Signed-off-by:

Modify the hstate_next_node* functions to allow them to be called to obtain the "start_nid". Then, whereas prior to this patch we unconditionally called hstate_next_node_to_{alloc|free}(), whether or not we successfully allocated/freed a huge page on the node, now we only call these functions on failure to alloc/free to advance to next allowed node. Factor out the next_node_allowed() function to handle wrap at end of node_online_map. In this version, the allowed nodes include all of the online nodes. Signed-off-by: -

This is a series of patches to provide control over the location of the allocation and freeing of persistent huge pages on a NUMA platform. Please consider for merging into mmotm. This series uses two mechanisms to constrain the nodes from which persistent huge pages are allocated: 1) the task NUMA mempolicy of the task modifying a new sysctl "nr_hugepages_mempolicy", based on a suggestion by Mel Gorman; and 2) a subset of the hugepages hstate sysfs attributes have been added [in V4] to each node system device under: /sys/devices/node/node[0-9]*/hugepages The per node attibutes allow direct assignment of a huge page count on a specific node, regardless of the task's mempolicy or cpuset constraints. This patch: NODEMASK_ALLOC(x, m) assumes x is a type of struct, which is unnecessary. It's perfectly reasonable to use this macro to allocate a nodemask_t, which is anonymous, either dynamically or on the stack depending on NODES_SHIFT. Signed-off-by:

On a system with large amount of memory (256GB), invoking page-types can take quite a long time, which is unreasonable considering the user only wants a description of the flags: # time ./page-types -d 0x10 0x0000000000000010 ____D_____________________________ dirty real 0m34.285s user 0m1.966s sys 0m32.313s This is because we still walk the entire address range.

Teach page-types to describe page flags directly from the command line. Why is this useful? For instance, if you're using memory hotplug and see this in /var/log/messages: kernel: removing from LRU failed 3836dd0/1/1e00000000000010 It would be nice to decode those page flags without staring at the source.

The oom killer header, including information such as the allocation order and gfp mask, current's cpuset and memory controller, call trace, and VM state information is currently only shown when the oom killer has selected a task to kill. This information is omitted, however, when the oom killer panics either because of panic_on_oom sysctl settings or when no killable task was found. It is still relevant to know crucial pieces of information such as the allocation order and VM state when diagnosing such issues, especially at boot. This patch displays the oom killer header whenever it panics so that bug reports can include pertinent information to debug the issue, if possible. Signed-off-by:

A specially-crafted Hierarchical File System (HFS) filesystem could cause a buffer overflow to occur in a process's kernel stack during a memcpy() call within the hfs_bnode_read() function (at fs/hfs/bnode.c:24). The attacker can provide the source buffer and length, and the destination buffer is a local variable of a fixed length. This local variable (passed as "&entry" from fs/hfs/dir.c:112 and allocated on line 60) is stored in the stack frame of hfs_bnode_read()'s caller, which is hfs_readdir(). Because the hfs_readdir() function executes upon any attempt to read a directory on the filesystem, it gets called whenever a user attempts to inspect any filesystem contents.

-
Jan Kara authored
It is not very good to do IO in udf_clear_inode. First, VFS does not really expect inode to become dirty there and thus we have to write it ourselves, second, memory reclaim gets blocked waiting for IO when it does not really expect it, third, the IO pattern (e.g. on umount) resulting from writes in udf_clear_inode is bad and it slows down writing a lot. The reason why UDF needed to do IO in udf_clear_inode is that UDF standard mandates extent length to exactly match inode size. But when we allocate extents to a file or directory, we don't really know what exactly the final file size will be and thus temporarily set it to block boundary and later truncate it to exact length in udf_clear_inode. Now, this is changed to truncate to final file size in udf_release_file for regular files. For directories and symlinks, we do the truncation at the moment when learn what the final file size will be. Signed-off-by:Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>

Some disks do not contain VAT inode in the last recorded block as required by the standard but a few blocks earlier (or the number of recorded blocks is wrong). So look for the VAT inode a bit before the end of the media. Signed-off-by: -
