[Linux-stable-mirror] [PATCH AUTOSEL for 3.18 01/16] selftest/powerpc: Fix false failures for skipped tests

by alexander.levin＠verizon.com

From: Sachin Sant <sachinp(a)linux.vnet.ibm.com> [ Upstream commit a6d8a21596df041f36f4c2ccc260c459e3e851f1 ] Tests under alignment subdirectory are skipped when executed on previous generation hardware, but harness still marks them as failed. test: test_copy_unaligned tags: git_version:unknown [SKIP] Test skipped on line 26 skip: test_copy_unaligned selftests: copy_unaligned [FAIL] The MAGIC_SKIP_RETURN_VALUE value assigned to rc variable is retained till the program exit which causes the test to be marked as failed. This patch resets the value before returning to the main() routine.

[Linux-stable-mirror] [merged] autofs-revert-fix-at_no_automount-not-being-honored.patch removed from -mm tree

by akpm＠linux-foundation.org

The patch titled Subject: autofs: revert "autofs: fix AT_NO_AUTOMOUNT not being honored" has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was autofs-revert-fix-at_no_automount-not-being-honored.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Ian Kent <raven(a)themaw.net> Subject: autofs: revert "autofs: fix AT_NO_AUTOMOUNT not being honored" 42f4614821 ("autofs: fix AT_NO_AUTOMOUNT not being honored") allowed the fstatat(2) system call to properly honor the AT_NO_AUTOMOUNT flag but introduced a semantic change. In order to honor AT_NO_AUTOMOUNT a semantic change was made to the negative dentry case for stat family system calls in follow_automount(). This changed the unconditional triggering of an automount in this case to no longer be done and an error returned instead. This has caused more problems than I expected so reverting the change is needed. In a discussion with Neil Brown it was concluded that the automount(8) daemon can implement this change without kernel modifications. So that will be done instead and the autofs module documentation updated with a description of the problem and what needs to be done by module users for this specific case.

[Linux-stable-mirror] [merged] autofs-revert-take-more-care-to-not-update-last_used-on-path-walk.patch removed from -mm tree

by akpm＠linux-foundation.org

The patch titled Subject: autofs: revert "autofs: take more care to not update last_used on path walk" has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was autofs-revert-take-more-care-to-not-update-last_used-on-path-walk.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Ian Kent <raven(a)themaw.net> Subject: autofs: revert "autofs: take more care to not update last_used on path walk" While 092a53452b ("autofs: take more care to not update last_used on path walk") helped (partially) resolve a problem where automounts were not expiring due to aggressive accesses from user space it has a side effect for very large environments. This change helps with the expire problem by making the expire more aggressive but, for very large environments, that means more mount requests from clients. When there are a lot of clients that can mean fairly significant server load increases. It turns out I put the last_used in this position to solve this very problem and failed to update my own thinking of the autofs expire policy. So the patch being reverted introduces a regression which should be fixed.

[Linux-stable-mirror] [merged] mm-migrate-fix-an-incorrect-call-of-prep_transhuge_page.patch removed from -mm tree

by akpm＠linux-foundation.org

The patch titled Subject: mm: migrate: fix an incorrect call of prep_transhuge_page() has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-migrate-fix-an-incorrect-call-of-prep_transhuge_page.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Zi Yan <zi.yan(a)cs.rutgers.edu> Subject: mm: migrate: fix an incorrect call of prep_transhuge_page() In https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/11/20/411, Andrea reported that during memory hotplug/hot remove prep_transhuge_page() is called incorrectly on non-THP pages for migration, when THP is on but THP migration is not enabled. This leads to a bad state of target pages for migration. By inspecting the code, if called on a non-THP, prep_transhuge_page() will 1) change the value of the mapping of (page + 2), since it is used for THP deferred list; 2) change the lru value of (page + 1), since it is used for THP's dtor. Both can lead to data corruption of these two pages. Andrea said: : Pragmatically and from the point of view of the memory_hotplug subsys, the : effect is a kernel crash when pages are being migrated during a memory hot : remove offline and migration target pages are found in a bad state. This patch fixes it by only calling prep_transhuge_page() when we are certain that the target page is THP.

Unfortunately madvise_willneed() doesn't communicate this information properly to the generic madvise syscall implementation.
