	DS: 007b ES: 007b FS: 00d8 GS: 0033 SS: 0068

and analyzed it:

  "The register %ecx looks innocent but is very important here. The disassembly:

       mov    %edx,%ecx
       shr    $0x2,%ecx
       rep stos %eax,%es:(%edi) <-- the fault

   So %ecx has been loaded from %edx... which is 0x6b6b6b6b/POISON_FREE.
   (0x6b6b6b6b >> 2 == 0x1adadada.)

   %ecx is the counter for the memset, from here:

       memset(object, 0, c->objsize);

  i.e. %ecx was loaded from c->objsize, so "c" must have been freed.
  Where did "c" come from? Uh-oh...

       c = get_cpu_slab(s, smp_processor_id());

  This looks like it has very much to do with CPU hotplug/unplug. Is
  there a race between SLUB/hotplug since the CPU slab is used after it
  has been freed?"

Good analysis.

Yeah, it's possible that a caller of kmem_cache_alloc() -> slab_alloc()
can be migrated on another CPU right after local_irq_restore() and
before memset().  The inital cpu can become offline in the mean time (or
a migration is a consequence of the CPU going offline) so its
'kmem_cache_cpu' structure gets freed ( slab_cpuup_callback).

At some point of time the caller continues on another CPU having an
obsolete pointer...

5dab8ec139 mm, generic, x86 boot: more tweaks to hex prints of some pfn addresses
Fix some problems with (and applies on top of) a previous patch:
  x86 boot: show pfn addresses in hex not decimal in some kernel info printks

Primarily change "0x%8lx" format, which displays with a right aligned
space filled hex number (spaces between the "0x" prefix and the number),
into "%0#10lx" format, which zero fills instead of space fills, and
which uses the printf flag '#' to request the "0x" prefix instead of
hard coding it.

Also replace some other "0x%lx" formats with "%#lx", making use of the
'#' printf flag again.

251b97f552 mm: dirty page accounting vs VM_MIXEDMAP
Dirty page accounting accurately measures the amound of dirty pages in
writable shared mappings by mapping the pages RO (as indicated by
vma_wants_writenotify).  We then trap on first write and call
set_page_dirty() on the page, after which we map the page RW and
continue execution.

When we launder dirty pages, we call clear_page_dirty_for_io() which
clears both the dirty flag, and maps the page RO again before we start
writeout so that the story can repeat itself.

vma_wants_writenotify() excludes VM_PFNMAP on the basis that we cannot
do the regular dirty page stuff on raw PFNs and the memory isn't going
anywhere anyway.

The recently introduced VM_MIXEDMAP mixes both !pfn_valid() and
pfn_valid() pages in a single mapping.

We can't do dirty page accounting on !pfn_valid() pages as stated
above, and mapping them RO causes them to be COW'ed on write, which
breaks VM_SHARED semantics.

Excluding VM_MIXEDMAP in vma_wants_writenotify() would mean we don't do
the regular dirty page accounting for the pfn_valid() pages, which
would bring back all the head-aches from inaccurate dirty page
accounting.

So instead, we let the !pfn_valid() pages get mapped RO, but fix them
up unconditionally in the fault path.

494de90098 Do not overwrite nr_zones on !NUMA when initialising zlcache_ptr
The non-NUMA case of build_zonelist_cache() would initialize the
zlcache_ptr for both node_zonelists[] to NULL.

Which is problematic, since non-NUMA only has a single node_zonelists[]
entry, and trying to zero the non-existent second one just overwrote the
nr_zones field instead.

As kswapd uses this value to determine what reclaim work is necessary,
the result is that kswapd never reclaims.  This causes processes to
stall frequently in low-memory situations as they always direct reclaim.
This patch initialises zlcache_ptr correctly.

The 192 byte cache is not necessary if we have a basic alignment of 128
byte. If it would be used then the 192 would be aligned to the next 128 byte
boundary which would result in another 256 byte cache. Two 256 kmalloc caches
cause sysfs to complain about a duplicate entry.

MIPS needs 128 byte aligned kmalloc caches and spits out warnings on boot without

1ea0704e0d mm: add a ptep_modify_prot transaction abstraction
This patch adds an API for doing read-modify-write updates to a pte's
protection bits which may race against hardware updates to the pte.
After reading the pte, the hardware may asynchonously set the accessed
or dirty bits on a pte, which would be lost when writing back the
modified pte value.

The existing technique to handle this race is to use
ptep_get_and_clear() atomically fetch the old pte value and clear it
in memory.  This has the effect of marking the pte as non-present,
which will prevent the hardware from updating its state.  When the new
value is written back, the pte will be present again, and the hardware
can resume updating the access/dirty flags.

When running in a virtualized environment, pagetable updates are
relatively expensive, since they generally involve some trap into the
hypervisor.  To mitigate the cost of these updates, we tend to batch
them.

However, because of the atomic nature of ptep_get_and_clear(), it is
inherently non-batchable.  This new interface allows batching by
giving the underlying implementation enough information to open a
transaction between the read and write phases:

ptep_modify_prot_start() returns the current pte value, and puts the
  pte entry into a state where either the hardware will not update the
  pte, or if it does, the updates will be preserved on commit.

ptep_modify_prot_commit() writes back the updated pte, makes sure that
  any hardware updates made since ptep_modify_prot_start() are
  preserved.

ptep_modify_prot_start() and _commit() must be exactly paired, and
used while holding the appropriate pte lock.  They do not protect
against other software updates of the pte in any way.

The current implementations of ptep_modify_prot_start and _commit are
functionally unchanged from before: _start() uses ptep_get_and_clear()
fetch the pte and zero the entry, preventing any hardware updates.
_commit() simply writes the new pte value back knowing that the
hardware has not updated the pte in the meantime.

The only current user of this interface is mprotect

945754a175 mm: fix race in COW logic
There is a race in the COW logic.  It contains a shortcut to avoid the
COW and reuse the page if we have the sole reference on the page,
however it is possible to have two racing do_wp_page()ers with one
causing the other to mistakenly believe it is safe to take the shortcut
when it is not.  This could lead to data corruption.

Process 1 and process2 each have a wp pte of the same anon page (ie.
one forked the other).  The page's mapcount is 2.  Then they both
attempt to write to it around the same time...

  proc1				proc2 thr1			proc2 thr2
  CPU0				CPU1				CPU3
  do_wp_page()			do_wp_page()
				 trylock_page()
				  can_share_swap_page()
				   load page mapcount (==2)
				  reuse = 0
				 pte unlock
				 copy page to new_page
				 pte lock
				 page_remove_rmap(page);
   trylock_page()
    can_share_swap_page()
     load page mapcount (==1)
    reuse = 1
   ptep_set_access_flags (allow W)

  write private key into page
								read from page
				ptep_clear_flush()
				set_pte_at(pte of new_page)

Fix this by moving the page_remove_rmap of the old page after the pte
clear and flush.  Potentially the entire branch could be moved down
here, but in order to stay consistent, I won't (should probably move all
the *_mm_counter stuff with one patch).

672ca28e30 Fix ZERO_PAGE breakage with vmware
Commit 89f5b7da2a ("Reinstate ZERO_PAGE
optimization in 'get_user_pages()' and fix XIP") broke vmware, as
reported by Jeff Chua:

  "This broke vmware 6.0.4.
   Jun 22 14:53:03.845: vmx| NOT_IMPLEMENTED
   /build/mts/release/bora-93057/bora/vmx/main/vmmonPosix.c:774"

and the reason seems to be that there's an old bug in how we handle do
FOLL_ANON on VM_SHARED areas in get_user_pages(), but since it only
triggered if the whole page table was missing, nobody had apparently hit
it before.

The recent changes to 'follow_page()' made the FOLL_ANON logic trigger
not just for whole missing page tables, but for individual pages as
well, and exposed this problem.

This fixes it by making the test for when FOLL_ANON is used more
careful, and also makes the code easier to read and understand by moving
the logic to a separate inline function.

89f5b7da2a Reinstate ZERO_PAGE optimization in 'get_user_pages()' and fix XIP
KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki and Oleg Nesterov point out that since the commit
557ed1fa26 ("remove ZERO_PAGE") removed
the ZERO_PAGE from the VM mappings, any users of get_user_pages() will
generally now populate the VM with real empty pages needlessly.

We used to get the ZERO_PAGE when we did the "handle_mm_fault()", but
since fault handling no longer uses ZERO_PAGE for new anonymous pages,
we now need to handle that special case in follow_page() instead.

In particular, the removal of ZERO_PAGE effectively removed the core
file writing optimization where we would skip writing pages that had not
been populated at all, and increased memory pressure a lot by allocating
all those useless newly zeroed pages.

This reinstates the optimization by making the unmapped PTE case the
same as for a non-existent page table, which already did this correctly.

While at it, this also fixes the XIP case for follow_page(), where the
caller could not differentiate between the case of a page that simply
could not be used (because it had no "struct page" associated with it)
and a page that just wasn't mapped.

We do that by simply returning an error pointer for pages that could not
be turned into a "struct page *".  The error is arbitrarily picked to be
EFAULT, since that was what get_user_pages() already used for the
equivalent IO-mapped page case.

[ Also removed an impossible test for pte_offset_map_lock() failing:
  that's not how that function works ]

5a1603be58 nommu: Correct kobjsize() page validity checks.
This implements a few changes on top of the recent kobjsize() refactoring
introduced by commit 6cfd53fc03.

As Christoph points out:

	virt_to_head_page cannot return NULL. virt_to_page also
	does not return NULL. pfn_valid() needs to be used to
	figure out if a page is valid.  Otherwise the page struct
	reference that was returned may have PageReserved() set
	to indicate that it is not a valid page.

As discussed further in the thread, virt_addr_valid() is the preferable
way to validate the object pointer in this case. In addition to fixing
up the reserved page case, it also has the benefit of encapsulating the
hack introduced by commit 4016a1390d on
the impacted platforms, allowing us to get rid of the extra checking in
kobjsize() for the platforms that don't perform this type of bizarre
memory_end abuse (every nommu platform that isn't blackfin). If blackfin
decides to get in line with every other platform and use PageReserved
for the DMA pages in question, kobjsize() will also continue to work
fine.

It also turns out that compound_order() will give us back 0-order for
non-head pages, so we can get rid of the PageCompound check and just
use compound_order() directly. Clean that up while we're at it.

cc1a9d86ce mm, x86: shrink_active_range() should check all
Now we are using register_e820_active_regions() instead of
add_active_range() directly. So end_pfn could be different between the
value in early_node_map to node_end_pfn.

So we need to make shrink_active_range() smarter.

shrink_active_range() is a generic MM function in mm/page_alloc.c but
it is only used on 32-bit x86. Should we move it back to some file in
arch/x86?

6cfd53fc03 nommu: fix kobjsize() for SLOB and SLUB
kobjsize() has been abusing page->index as a method for sorting out
compound order, which blows up both for page cache pages, and SLOB's
reuse of the index in struct slob_page.

Presently we are not able to accurately size arbitrary pointers that
don't come from kmalloc(), so the best we can do is sort out the
compound order from the head page if it's a compound page, or default
to 0-order if it's impossible to ksize() the object.

Obviously this leaves quite a bit to be desired in terms of object
sizing accuracy, but the behaviour is unchanged over the existing
implementation, while fixing the page->index oopses originally reported
here:

	http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=121127773325245&w=2

Accuracy could also be improved by having SLUB and SLOB both set PG_slab
on ksizeable pages, rather than just handling the __GFP_COMP cases
irregardless of the PG_slab setting, as made possibly with Pekka's
patches:

	http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=121139439900534&w=2
	http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=121139440000537&w=2
	http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=121139440000540&w=2

This is primarily a bugfix for nommu systems for 2.6.26, with the aim
being to gradually kill off kobjsize() and its particular brand of
object abuse entirely.

The check in sys_brk() on minimum value the brk might have must take
CONFIG_COMPAT_BRK setting into account.  When this option is turned on
(i.e.  we support ancient legacy binaries, e.g.  libc5-linked stuff), the
lower bound on brk value is mm->end_code, otherwise the brk start is

cd94b9dbfa memory hotplug: fix early allocation handling
Trying to add memory via add_memory() from within an initcall function
results in

bootmem alloc of 163840 bytes failed!
Kernel panic - not syncing: Out of memory

This is caused by zone_wait_table_init() which uses system_state to decide
if it should use the bootmem allocator or not.

When initcalls are handled the system_state is still SYSTEM_BOOTING but
the bootmem allocator doesn't work anymore.  So the allocation will fail.

To fix this use slab_is_available() instead as indicator like we do it
everywhere else.

This occurs when we are scanning the zonelists looking for a ZONE_NORMAL
page.  In this system there is only ZONE_DMA and ZONE_NORMAL memory on
node 0, all other nodes are mapped above 4GB physical.  Here is a dump
of the zonelists from this system:

    zonelists pgdat=c1400000
     0: c14006c0:2 f7c006c0:2 f7e006c0:2 c1400360:1 c1400000:0

     1: f7e006c0:2

When performing a node local allocation we call get_page_from_freelist()
looking for a page.  It in turn calls first_zones_zonelist() which returns
a preferred_zone.  Where there are no applicable zones this will be NULL.
However we use this unconditionally, leading to this panic.

Where there are no applicable zones there is no possibility of a successful
allocation, so simply fail the allocation.
