When an application called fsync on a file in Coda a small request with
just the file identifier was allocated, but the declared length was set
to the size of union of all possible upcall requests.
This bug has been around for a very long time and is now caught by the
extra checking in usercopy that was introduced in Linux-4.8.
The exposure happens when the Coda cache manager process reads the fsync
upcall request at which point it is killed. As a result there is nobody
servicing any further upcalls, trapping any processes that try to access
the mounted Coda filesystem.
For systems with X86_FEATURE_TOPOEXT, current logic uses the APIC ID
to calculate shared_cpu_map. However, APIC IDs are not guaranteed to
be contiguous for cores across different L3s (e.g. family17h system
w/ downcore configuration). This breaks the logic, and results in an
incorrect L3 shared_cpu_map.
Instead, always use the previously calculated cpu_llc_shared_mask of
each CPU to derive the L3 shared_cpu_map.
online_page_ext() and page_ext_init() allocate page_ext for each
section, but they do not allocate if the first PFN is !pfn_present(pfn)
or !pfn_valid(pfn). Then section->page_ext remains as NULL.
lookup_page_ext checks NULL only if CONFIG_DEBUG_VM is enabled. For a
valid PFN, __set_page_owner will try to get page_ext through
lookup_page_ext. Without CONFIG_DEBUG_VM lookup_page_ext will misuse
NULL pointer as value 0. This incurrs invalid address access.
This is the panic example when PFN 0x100000 is not valid but PFN
0x13FC00 is being used for page_ext. section->page_ext is NULL,
get_entry returned invalid page_ext address as 0x1DFA000 for a PFN
0x13FC00.
To avoid this panic, CONFIG_DEBUG_VM should be removed so that page_ext
will be checked at all times.

Pre-4.7 kernels also need commit f86e4271978b ("mm: check the return
value of lookup_page_ext for all call sites").
In reset_deferred_meminit() we determine number of pages that must not
be deferred. We initialize pages for at least 2G of memory, but also
pages for reserved memory in this node.
The reserved memory is determined in this function:
memblock_reserved_memory_within(), which operates over physical
addresses, and returns size in bytes. However, reset_deferred_meminit()
assumes that that this function operates with pfns, and returns page
count.
The result is that in the best case machine boots slower than expected
due to initializing more pages than needed in single thread, and in the
worst case panics because fewer than needed pages are initialized early.
When I set the timeout to a specific value such as 500ms, the timeout
event will not happen in time due to the overflow in function
check_msg_timeout:
...
ent->timeout -= timeout_period;
if (ent->timeout > 0)
return;
...
The type of timeout_period is long, but ent->timeout is unsigned long.
This patch makes the type consistent.
we should wait dio requests to finish before inode lock in
ocfs2_setattr(), otherwise the following deadlock will happen:
process 1 process 2 process 3
truncate file 'A' end_io of writing file 'A' receiving the bast messages

When a node dies, other live nodes have to choose a new master for an
existed lock resource mastered by the dead node.
As for ocfs2/dlm implementation, this is done by function -
dlm_move_lockres_to_recovery_list which marks those lock rsources as
DLM_LOCK_RES_RECOVERING and manages them via a list from which DLM
changes lock resource's master later.
So without invoking dlm_move_lockres_to_recovery_list, no master will be
choosed after dlm recovery accomplishment since no lock resource can be
found through ::resource list.
What's worse is that if DLM_LOCK_RES_RECOVERING is not marked for lock
resources mastered a dead node, it will break up synchronization among
nodes.
So invoke dlm_move_lockres_to_recovery_list again.
This matters at least for the mincore syscall, which will otherwise copy
uninitialized memory from the page allocator to userspace. It is
probably also a correctness error for /proc/$pid/pagemap, but I haven't
tested that.
Removing the `walk->hugetlb_entry` condition in walk_hugetlb_range() has
no effect because the caller already checks for that.
This only reports holes in hugetlb ranges to callers who have specified
a hugetlb_entry callback.
This issue was found using an AFL-based fuzzer.

The pending-callbacks check in rcu_prepare_for_idle() is backwards.
It should accelerate if there are pending callbacks, but the check
rather uselessly accelerates only if there are no callbacks. This commit
therefore inverts this check.
