When marking an inode reclaimable, a per-AG counter is increased, the
inode is tagged reclaimable in its per-AG tree, and, when this is the
first reclaimable inode in the AG, the AG entry in the per-mount tree
is also tagged.
When an inode is finally reclaimed, however, it is only deleted from
the per-AG tree. Neither the counter is decreased, nor is the parent
tree's AG entry untagged properly.
Since the tags in the per-mount tree are not cleared, the inode
shrinker iterates over all AGs that have had reclaimable inodes at one
point in time.
The counters on the other hand signal an increasing amount of slab
objects to reclaim. Since "70e60ce xfs: convert inode shrinker to
per-filesystem context" this is not a real issue anymore because the
shrinker bails out after one iteration.
But the problem was observable on a machine running v2.6.34, where the
reclaimable work increased and each process going into direct reclaim
eventually got stuck on the xfs inode shrinking path, trying to scan
several million objects.
Fix this by properly unwinding the reclaimable-state tracking of an
inode when it is reclaimed.

The "flags" member of "struct wait_queue_t" is used in several places in

With all the recent module loading cleanups, we've minimized the code
that sits under module_mutex, fixing various deadlocks and making it
possible to do most of the module loading in parallel.
However, that whole conversion totally missed the rather obscure code
that adds a new module to the list for BUG() handling. That code was
doubly obscure because (a) the code itself lives in lib/bugs.c (for
dubious reasons) and (b) it gets called from the architecture-specific
"module_finalize()" rather than from generic code.
Calling it from arch-specific code makes no sense what-so-ever to begin
with, and is now actively wrong since that code isn't protected by the
module loading lock any more.
So this commit moves the "module_bug_{finalize,cleanup}()" calls away
from the arch-specific code, and into the generic code - and in the
process protects it with the module_mutex so that the list operations
are now safe.
Future fixups:
- move the module list handling code into kernel/module.c where it
belongs.
- get rid of 'module_bug_list' and just use the regular list of modules
(called 'modules' - imagine that) that we already create and maintain
for other reasons.

Building under memory pressure, with KSM on 2.6.36-rc5, collapsed with
an internal compiler error: typically indicating an error in swapping.
Perhaps there's a timing issue which makes it now more likely, perhaps
it's just a long time since I tried for so long: this bug goes back to
KSM swapping in 2.6.33.
Notice how reuse_swap_page() allows an exclusive page to be reused, but
only does SetPageDirty if it can delete it from swap cache right then -
if it's currently under Writeback, it has to be left in cache and we
don't SetPageDirty, but the page can be reused. Fine, the dirty bit
will get set in the pte; but notice how zap_pte_range() does not bother
to transfer pte_dirty to page_dirty when unmapping a PageAnon.
If KSM chooses to share such a page, it will look like a clean copy of
swapcache, and not be written out to swap when its memory is needed;
then stale data read back from swap when it's needed again.
We could fix this in reuse_swap_page() (or even refuse to reuse a
page under writeback), but it's more honest to fix my oversight in
KSM's write_protect_page(). Several days of testing on three machines
confirms that this fixes the issue they showed.

2.6.36-rc1 commit 21d0d443cd "rmap:
resurrect page_address_in_vma anon_vma check" was right to resurrect
that check; but now that it's comparing anon_vma->roots instead of
just anon_vmas, there's a danger of oopsing on a NULL anon_vma.
In most cases no NULL anon_vma ever gets here; but it turns out that
occasionally KSM, when enabled on a forked or forking process, will
itself call page_address_in_vma() on a "half-KSM" page left over from
an earlier failed attempt to merge - whose page_anon_vma() is NULL.
It's my bug that those should be getting here at all: I thought they
were already dealt with, this oops proves me wrong, I'll fix it in
the next release - such pages are effectively pinned until their
process exits, since rmap cannot find their ptes (though swapoff can).
For now just work around it by making page_address_in_vma() safe (and
add a comment on why that check is wanted anyway). A similar check
in __page_check_anon_rmap() is safe because do_page_add_anon_rmap()
already excluded KSM pages.

flush_icache_range() is given virtual addresses to describe the region. It
deals with these by attempting to translate them through the current set of
page tables.
This is fine for userspace memory and vmalloc()'d areas as they are governed by
page tables. However, since the regions above 0x80000000 aren't translated
through the page tables by the MMU, the kernel doesn't bother to set up page
tables for them (see paging_init()).
This means flush_icache_range() as it stands cannot be used to flush regions of
the VM area between 0x80000000 and 0x9fffffff where the kernel resides if the
data cache is operating in WriteBack mode.
To fix this, make flush_icache_range() first check for addresses in the upper
half of VM space and deal with them appropriately, before dealing with any
range in the page table mapped area.
Ordinarily, this is not a problem, but it has the capacity to make kprobes and
kgdb malfunction. It should not affect gdbstub, signal frame setup or module
loading as gdb has its own flush functions, and the others take place in the
page table mapped area only.

because the 'list_sort()' user can use 'container_of()' and accesses the

the user can access RAM which does not belong to him. If this is a write

The semctl syscall has several code paths that lead to the leakage of
uninitialized kernel stack memory (namely the IPC_INFO, SEM_INFO,
IPC_STAT, and SEM_STAT commands) during the use of the older, obsolete
version of the semid_ds struct.
The copy_semid_to_user() function declares a semid_ds struct on the stack
and copies it back to the user without initializing or zeroing the
"sem_base", "sem_pending", "sem_pending_last", and "undo" pointers,
allowing the leakage of 16 bytes of kernel stack memory.
The code is still reachable on 32-bit systems - when calling semctl()
newer glibc's automatically OR the IPC command with the IPC_64 flag, but
invoking the syscall directly allows users to use the older versions of
the struct.

The kfifo_dma family of functions use sg_mark_end() on the last element in
their scatterlist. This forces use of a fresh scatterlist for each DMA
operation, which makes recycling a single scatterlist impossible.
Change the behavior of the kfifo_dma functions to match the usage of the
dma_map_sg function. This means that users must respect the returned
nents value. The sample code is updated to reflect the change.
This bug is trivial to cause: call kfifo_dma_in_prepare() such that it
prepares a scatterlist with a single entry comprising the whole fifo.
This is the case when you map the entirety of a newly created empty fifo.
This causes the setup_sgl() function to mark the first scatterlist entry
as the end of the chain, no matter what comes after it.
Afterwards, add and remove some data from the fifo such that another call
to kfifo_dma_in_prepare() will create two scatterlist entries. It returns
nents=2. However, due to the previous sg_mark_end() call, sg_is_last()
will now return true for the first scatterlist element. This causes the
sample code to print a single scatterlist element when it should print
two.
By removing the call to sg_mark_end(), we make the API as similar as
possible to the DMA mapping API. All users are required to respect the
returned nents.
