Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:
- cgroup v2 interface is now official. It's no longer hidden behind a
devel flag and can be mounted using the new cgroup2 fs type.
Unfortunately, cpu v2 interface hasn't made it yet due to the
discussion around in-process hierarchical resource distribution and
only memory and io controllers can be used on the v2 interface at the
moment.
- The existing documentation which has always been a bit of mess is
relocated under Documentation/cgroup-v1/. Documentation/cgroup-v2.txt
is added as the authoritative documentation for the v2 interface.
- Some features are added through for-4.5-ancestor-test branch to
enable netfilter xt_cgroup match to use cgroup v2 paths. The actual
netfilter changes will be merged through the net tree which pulled in
the said branch.
- Various cleanups
* 'for-4.5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup:
cgroup: rename cgroup documentations
cgroup: fix a typo.
cgroup: Remove resource_counter.txt in Documentation/cgroup-legacy/00-INDEX.
cgroup: demote subsystem init messages to KERN_DEBUG
cgroup: Fix uninitialized variable warning
cgroup: put controller Kconfig options in meaningful order

Pull misc vfs updates from Al Viro:
"All kinds of stuff. That probably should've been 5 or 6 separate
branches, but by the time I'd realized how large and mixed that bag
had become it had been too close to -final to play with rebasing.
Some fs/namei.c cleanups there, memdup_user_nul() introduction and
switching open-coded instances, burying long-dead code, whack-a-mole
of various kinds, several new helpers for ->llseek(), assorted
cleanups and fixes from various people, etc.
One piece probably deserves special mention - Neil's
lookup_one_len_unlocked(). Similar to lookup_one_len(), but gets
called without ->i_mutex and tries to avoid ever taking it. That, of
course, means that it's not useful for any directory modifications,
but things like getting inode attributes in nfds readdirplus are fine
with that. I really should've asked for moratorium on lookup-related
changes this cycle, but since I hadn't done that early enough... I
*am* asking for that for the coming cycle, though - I'm going to try
and get conversion of i_mutex to rwsem with ->lookup() done under lock
taken shared.
There will be a patch closer to the end of the window, along the lines
of the one Linus had posted last May - mechanical conversion of
->i_mutex accesses to inode_lock()/inode_unlock()/inode_trylock()/
inode_is_locked()/inode_lock_nested(). To quote Linus back then:
-----
| This is an automated patch using
|
| sed 's/mutex_lock(&\(.*\)->i_mutex)/inode_lock(\1)/'
| sed 's/mutex_unlock(&\(.*\)->i_mutex)/inode_unlock(\1)/'
| sed 's/mutex_lock_nested(&\(.*\)->i_mutex,[ ]*I_MUTEX_\([A-Z0-9_]*\))/inode_lock_nested(\1, I_MUTEX_\2)/'
| sed 's/mutex_is_locked(&\(.*\)->i_mutex)/inode_is_locked(\1)/'
| sed 's/mutex_trylock(&\(.*\)->i_mutex)/inode_trylock(\1)/'
|
| with a very few manual fixups
-----
I'm going to send that once the ->i_mutex-affecting stuff in -next
gets mostly merged (or when Linus says he's about to stop taking
merges)"

Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon:
"Here is the core arm64 queue for 4.5. As you might expect, the
Christmas break resulted in a number of patches not making the final
cut, so 4.6 is likely to be larger than usual. There's still some
useful stuff here, however, and it's detailed below.
The EFI changes have been Reviewed-by Matt and the memblock change got
an "OK" from akpm.
Summary:
- Support for a separate IRQ stack, although we haven't reduced the
size of our thread stack just yet since we don't have enough data
to determine a safe value
- Refactoring of our EFI initialisation and runtime code into
drivers/firmware/efi/ so that it can be reused by arch/arm/.

MREMAP_FIXED moves a pfnmap from old vma to new vma. untrack_pfn() is
called with the old vma after its pfnmap page table has been removed,
which causes follow_phys() to fail. The new vma has a new pfnmap to
the same pfn & cache type with VM_PAT set. Therefore, we only need to
clear VM_PAT from the old vma in this case.
Add untrack_pfn_moved(), which clears VM_PAT from a given old vma.
move_vma() is changed to call this function with the old vma when
VM_PFNMAP is set. move_vma() then calls do_munmap(), and untrack_pfn()
is a no-op since VM_PAT is cleared.

mod_zone_page_state() takes a "delta" integer argument. delta contains
the number of pages that should be added or subtracted from a struct
zone's vm_stat field.
If a zone is larger than 8TB this will cause overflows. E.g. for a
zone with a size slightly larger than 8TB the line
mod_zone_page_state(zone, NR_ALLOC_BATCH, zone->managed_pages);
in mm/page_alloc.c:free_area_init_core() will result in a negative
result for the NR_ALLOC_BATCH entry within the zone's vm_stat, since 8TB
contain 0x8xxxxxxx pages which will be sign extended to a negative
value.
Fix this by changing the delta argument to long type.
This could fix an early boot problem seen on s390, where we have a 9TB
system with only one node. ZONE_DMA contains 2GB and ZONE_NORMAL the
rest. The system is trying to allocate a GFP_DMA page but ZONE_DMA is
completely empty, so it tries to reclaim pages in an endless loop.
This was seen on a heavily patched 3.10 kernel. One possible
explaination seem to be the overflows caused by mod_zone_page_state().
Unfortunately I did not have the chance to verify that this patch
actually fixes the problem, since I don't have access to the system
right now. However the overflow problem does exist anyway.
Given the description that a system with slightly less than 8TB does
work, this seems to be a candidate for the observed problem.

test_pages_in_a_zone() does not account for the possibility of missing
sections in the given pfn range. pfn_valid_within always returns 1 when
CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE is not set, allowing invalid pfns from missing
sections to pass the test, leading to a kernel oops.
Wrap an additional pfn loop with PAGES_PER_SECTION granularity to check
for missing sections before proceeding into the zone-check code.
This also prevents a crash from offlining memory devices with missing
sections. Despite this, it may be a good idea to keep the related patch
'[PATCH 3/3] drivers: memory: prohibit offlining of memory blocks with
missing sections' because missing sections in a memory block may lead to
other problems not covered by the scope of this fix.

Memory cgroup reclaim can be interrupted with mem_cgroup_iter_break()
once enough pages have been reclaimed, in which case, in contrast to a
full round-trip over a cgroup sub-tree, the current position stored in
mem_cgroup_reclaim_iter of the target cgroup does not get invalidated
and so is left holding the reference to the last scanned cgroup. If the
target cgroup does not get scanned again (we might have just reclaimed
the last page or all processes might exit and free their memory
voluntary), we will leak it, because there is nobody to put the
reference held by the iterator.
The problem is easy to reproduce by running the following command
sequence in a loop:
mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test
echo 100M > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test/memory.limit_in_bytes
echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test/cgroup.procs
memhog 150M
echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/cgroup.procs
rmdir test
The cgroups generated by it will never get freed.
This patch fixes this issue by making mem_cgroup_iter avoid taking
reference to the current position. In order not to hit use-after-free
bug while running reclaim in parallel with cgroup deletion, we make use
of ->css_released cgroup callback to clear references to the dying
cgroup in all reclaim iterators that might refer to it. This callback
is called right before scheduling rcu work which will free css, so if we
access iter->position from rcu read section, we might be sure it won't
go away under us.

Change the use of strncmp in zswap_pool_find_get() to strcmp.
The use of strncmp is no longer correct, now that zswap_zpool_type is
not an array; sizeof() will return the size of a pointer, which isn't
the right length to compare. We don't need to use strncmp anyway,
because the existing params and the passed in params are all guaranteed
to be null terminated, so strcmp should be used.

It's possible that an oom killed victim shares an ->mm with the init
process and thus oom_kill_process() would end up trying to kill init as
well.
This has been shown in practice:
Out of memory: Kill process 9134 (init) score 3 or sacrifice child
Killed process 9134 (init) total-vm:1868kB, anon-rss:84kB, file-rss:572kB
Kill process 1 (init) sharing same memory
...
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! exitcode=0x00000009
And this will result in a kernel panic.
If a process is forked by init and selected for oom kill while still
sharing init_mm, then it's likely this system is in a recoverable state.
However, it's better not to try to kill init and allow the machine to
panic due to unkillable processes.

Dmitry Vyukov provides a little program, autogenerated by syzkaller,
which races a fault on a mapping of a sparse memfd object, against
truncation of that object below the fault address: run repeatedly for a
few minutes, it reliably generates shmem_evict_inode()'s
WARN_ON(inode->i_blocks).
(But there's nothing specific to memfd here, nor to the fstat which it
happened to use to generate the fault: though that looked suspicious,
since a shmem_recalc_inode() had been added there recently. The same
problem can be reproduced with open+unlink in place of memfd_create, and
with fstatfs in place of fstat.)
v3.7 commit 0f3c42f522dc ("tmpfs: change final i_blocks BUG to WARNING")
explains one cause of such a warning (a race with shmem_writepage to
swap), and possible solutions; but we never took it further, and this
syzkaller incident turns out to have a different cause.
shmem_getpage_gfp()'s error recovery, when a freshly allocated page is
then found to be beyond eof, looks plausible - decrementing the alloced
count that was just before incremented - but in fact can go wrong, if a
racing thread (the truncator, for example) gets its shmem_recalc_inode()
in just after our delete_from_page_cache(). delete_from_page_cache()
decrements nrpages, that shmem_recalc_inode() will balance the books by
decrementing alloced itself, then our decrement of alloced take it one
too low: leading to the WARNING when the object is finally evicted.
Once the new page has been exposed in the page cache,
shmem_getpage_gfp() must leave it to shmem_recalc_inode() itself to get
the accounting right in all cases (and not fall through from "trunc:" to
"decused:"). Adjust that error recovery block; and the reinitialization
of info and sbinfo can be removed too.
While we're here, fix shmem_writepage() to avoid the original issue: it
will be safe against a racing shmem_recalc_inode(), if it merely
increments swapped before the shmem_delete_from_page_cache() which
decrements nrpages (but it must then do its own shmem_recalc_inode()
before that, while still in balance, instead of after). (Aside: why do
we shmem_recalc_inode() here in the swap path? Because its raison d'etre
is to cope with clean sparse shmem pages being reclaimed behind our
back: so here when swapping is a good place to look for that case.) But
I've not now managed to reproduce this bug, even without the patch.
I don't see why I didn't do that earlier: perhaps inhibited by the
preference to eliminate shmem_recalc_inode() altogether. Driven by this
incident, I do now have a patch to do so at last; but still want to sit
on it for a bit, there's a couple of questions yet to be resolved.

Dmitry identified a potential memory leak in the routine region_chg,
where a region descriptor is not free'ed on an error path.
However, the root cause for the above memory leak resides in region_del.
In this specific case, a "placeholder" entry is created in region_chg.
The associated page allocation fails, and the placeholder entry is left
in the reserve map. This is "by design" as the entry should be deleted
when the map is released. The bug is in the region_del routine which is
used to delete entries within a specific range (and when the map is
released). region_del did not handle the case where a placeholder entry
exactly matched the start of the range range to be deleted. In this
case, the entry would not be deleted and leaked. The fix is to take
these special placeholder entries into account in region_del.
The region_chg error path leak is also fixed.

Currently at the beginning of hugetlb_fault(), we call huge_pte_offset()
and check whether the obtained *ptep is a migration/hwpoison entry or
not. And if not, then we get to call huge_pte_alloc(). This is racy
because the *ptep could turn into migration/hwpoison entry after the
huge_pte_offset() check. This race results in BUG_ON in
huge_pte_alloc().
We don't have to call huge_pte_alloc() when the huge_pte_offset()
returns non-NULL, so let's fix this bug with moving the code into else
block.
Note that the *ptep could turn into a migration/hwpoison entry after
this block, but that's not a problem because we have another
!pte_present check later (we never go into hugetlb_no_page() in that
case.)

progress
Tetsuo Handa has reported that the system might basically livelock in
OOM condition without triggering the OOM killer.
The issue is caused by internal dependency of the direct reclaim on
vmstat counter updates (via zone_reclaimable) which are performed from
the workqueue context. If all the current workers get assigned to an
allocation request, though, they will be looping inside the allocator
trying to reclaim memory but zone_reclaimable can see stalled numbers so
it will consider a zone reclaimable even though it has been scanned way
too much. WQ concurrency logic will not consider this situation as a
congested workqueue because it relies that worker would have to sleep in
such a situation. This also means that it doesn't try to spawn new
workers or invoke the rescuer thread if the one is assigned to the
queue.
In order to fix this issue we need to do two things. First we have to
let wq concurrency code know that we are in trouble so we have to do a
short sleep. In order to prevent from issues handled by 0e093d99763e
("writeback: do not sleep on the congestion queue if there are no
congested BDIs or if significant congestion is not being encountered in
the current zone") we limit the sleep only to worker threads which are
the ones of the interest anyway.
The second thing to do is to create a dedicated workqueue for vmstat and
mark it WQ_MEM_RECLAIM to note it participates in the reclaim and to
have a spare worker thread for it.

Commit 016c13daa5c9 ("mm, page_alloc: use masks and shifts when
converting GFP flags to migrate types") has swapped MIGRATE_MOVABLE and
MIGRATE_RECLAIMABLE in the enum definition. However, migratetype_names
wasn't updated to reflect that.
As a result, the file /proc/pagetypeinfo shows the counts for Movable as
Reclaimable and vice versa.
Additionally, commit 0aaa29a56e4f ("mm, page_alloc: reserve pageblocks
for high-order atomic allocations on demand") introduced
MIGRATE_HIGHATOMIC, but did not add a letter to distinguish it into
show_migration_types(), so it doesn't appear in the listing of free
areas during page alloc failures or oom kills.
This patch fixes both problems. The atomic reserves will show with a
letter 'H' in the free areas listings.

When the memory.high threshold is exceeded, try_charge() schedules a
task_work to reclaim the excess. The reclaim target is set to the
number of pages requested by try_charge().
This is wrong, because try_charge() usually charges more pages than
requested (batch > nr_pages) in order to refill per cpu stocks. As a
result, a process in a cgroup can easily exceed memory.high
significantly when doing a lot of charges w/o returning to userspace
(e.g. reading a file in big chunks).
Fix this issue by assuring that when exceeding memory.high a process
reclaims as many pages as were actually charged (i.e. batch).

When dequeue_huge_page_vma() in alloc_huge_page() fails, we fall back on
alloc_buddy_huge_page() to directly create a hugepage from the buddy
allocator.
In that case, however, if alloc_buddy_huge_page() succeeds we don't
decrement h->resv_huge_pages, which means that successful
hugetlb_fault() returns without releasing the reserve count. As a
result, subsequent hugetlb_fault() might fail despite that there are
still free hugepages.
This patch simply adds decrementing code on that code path.
I reproduced this problem when testing v4.3 kernel in the following situation:
- the test machine/VM is a NUMA system,
- hugepage overcommiting is enabled,
- most of hugepages are allocated and there's only one free hugepage
which is on node 0 (for example),
- another program, which calls set_mempolicy(MPOL_BIND) to bind itself to
node 1, tries to allocate a hugepage,
- the allocation should fail but the reserve count is still hold.

This introduces the MEMBLOCK_NOMAP attribute and the required plumbing
to make it usable as an indicator that some parts of normal memory
should not be covered by the kernel direct mapping. It is up to the
arch to actually honor the attribute when laying out this mapping,
but the memblock code itself is modified to disregard these regions
for allocations and other general use.

new method: ->get_link(); replacement of ->follow_link(). The differences
are:
* inode and dentry are passed separately
* might be called both in RCU and non-RCU mode;
the former is indicated by passing it a NULL dentry.
* when called that way it isn't allowed to block
and should return ERR_PTR(-ECHILD) if it needs to be called
in non-RCU mode.
It's a flagday change - the old method is gone, all in-tree instances
converted. Conversion isn't hard; said that, so far very few instances
do not immediately bail out when called in RCU mode. That'll change

Pull cgroup fixes from Tejun Heo:
"More change than I'd have liked at this stage. The pids controller
and the changes made to cgroup core to support it introduced and
revealed several important issues.
- Assigning membership to a newly created task and migrating it can
race leading to incorrect accounting. Oleg fixed it by widening
threadgroup synchronization. It looks like we'll be able to merge
it with a different percpu rwsem which is used in fork path making
things simpler and cheaper.
- The recent change to extend cgroup membership to zombies (so that
pid accounting can extend till the pid is actually released) missed
pinning the underlying data structures leading to use-after-free.
Fixed.
- v2 hierarchy was calling subsystem callbacks with the wrong target
cgroup_subsys_state based on the incorrect assumption that they
share the same target. pids is the first controller affected by
this. Subsys callbacks updated so that they can deal with
multi-target migrations"

The following commit which went into mainline through networking tree
3b13758f51de ("cgroups: Allow dynamically changing net_classid")
conflicts in net/core/netclassid_cgroup.c with the following pending
fix in cgroup/for-4.4-fixes.
1f7dd3e5a6e4 ("cgroup: fix handling of multi-destination migration from subtree_control enabling")
The former separates out update_classid() from cgrp_attach() and
updates it to walk all fds of all tasks in the target css so that it
can be used from both migration and config change paths. The latter
drops @css from cgrp_attach().
Resolve the conflict by making cgrp_attach() call update_classid()
with the css from the first task. We can revive @tset walking in
cgrp_attach() but given that net_cls is v1 only where there always is
only one target css during migration, this is fine.

enabling
Consider the following v2 hierarchy.
P0 (+memory) --- P1 (-memory) --- A
\- B
P0 has memory enabled in its subtree_control while P1 doesn't. If
both A and B contain processes, they would belong to the memory css of
P1. Now if memory is enabled on P1's subtree_control, memory csses
should be created on both A and B and A's processes should be moved to
the former and B's processes the latter. IOW, enabling controllers
can cause atomic migrations into different csses.
The core cgroup migration logic has been updated accordingly but the
controller migration methods haven't and still assume that all tasks
migrate to a single target css; furthermore, the methods were fed the
css in which subtree_control was updated which is the parent of the
target csses. pids controller depends on the migration methods to
move charges and this made the controller attribute charges to the
wrong csses often triggering the following warning by driving a
counter negative.

This patch fixes the bug by removing @css parameter from the three
migration methods, ->can_attach, ->cancel_attach() and ->attach() and
updating cgroup_taskset iteration helpers also return the destination
css in addition to the task being migrated. All controllers are
updated accordingly.
* Controllers which don't care whether there are one or multiple
target csses can be converted trivially. cpu, io, freezer, perf,
netclassid and netprio fall in this category.
* cpuset's current implementation assumes that there's single source
and destination and thus doesn't support v2 hierarchy already. The
only change made by this patchset is how that single destination css
is obtained.
* memory migration path already doesn't do anything on v2. How the
single destination css is obtained is updated and the prep stage of
mem_cgroup_can_attach() is reordered to accomodate the change.
* pids is the only controller which was affected by this bug. It now
correctly handles multi-destination migrations and no longer causes
counter underflow from incorrect accounting.

Merge slub bulk allocator updates from Andrew Morton:
"This missed the merge window because I was waiting for some repairs to
come in. Nothing actually uses the bulk allocator yet and the changes
to other code paths are pretty small. And the net guys are waiting
for this so they can start merging the client code"
More comments from Jesper Dangaard Brouer:
"The kmem_cache_alloc_bulk() call, in mm/slub.c, were included in
previous kernel. The present version contains a bug. Vladimir
Davydov noticed it contained a bug, when kernel is compiled with
CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM (see commit 03ec0ed57ffc: "slub: fix kmem cgroup
bug in kmem_cache_alloc_bulk"). Plus the mem cgroup counterpart in
kmem_cache_free_bulk() were missing (see commit 033745189b1b "slub:
add missing kmem cgroup support to kmem_cache_free_bulk").
I don't consider the fix stable-material because there are no in-tree
users of the API.
But with known bugs (for memcg) I cannot start using the API in the
net-tree"

|

Adjust kmem_cache_alloc_bulk API before we have any real users.
Adjust API to return type 'int' instead of previously type 'bool'. This
is done to allow future extension of the bulk alloc API.
A future extension could be to allow SLUB to stop at a page boundary, when
specified by a flag, and then return the number of objects.
The advantage of this approach, would make it easier to make bulk alloc
run without local IRQs disabled. With an approach of cmpxchg "stealing"
the entire c->freelist or page->freelist. To avoid overshooting we would
stop processing at a slab-page boundary. Else we always end up returning
some objects at the cost of another cmpxchg.
To keep compatible with future users of this API linking against an older
kernel when using the new flag, we need to return the number of allocated
objects with this API change.

Initial implementation missed support for kmem cgroup support in
kmem_cache_free_bulk() call, add this.
If CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM is not enabled, the compiler should be smart enough
to not add any asm code.
Incoming bulk free objects can belong to different kmem cgroups, and
object free call can happen at a later point outside memcg context. Thus,
we need to keep the orig kmem_cache, to correctly verify if a memcg object
match against its "root_cache" (s->memcg_params.root_cache).

The call slab_pre_alloc_hook() interacts with kmemgc and is not allowed to
be called several times inside the bulk alloc for loop, due to the call to
memcg_kmem_get_cache().
This would result in hitting the VM_BUG_ON in __memcg_kmem_get_cache.
As suggested by Vladimir Davydov, change slab_post_alloc_hook() to be able
to handle an array of objects.
A subtle detail is, loop iterator "i" in slab_post_alloc_hook() must have
same type (size_t) as size argument. This helps the compiler to easier
realize that it can remove the loop, when all debug statements inside loop
evaluates to nothing. Note, this is only an issue because the kernel is
compiled with GCC option: -fno-strict-overflow
In slab_alloc_node() the compiler inlines and optimizes the invocation of
slab_post_alloc_hook(s, flags, 1, &object) by removing the loop and access
object directly.

This change focus on improving the speed of object freeing in the
"slowpath" of kmem_cache_free_bulk.
The calls slab_free (fastpath) and __slab_free (slowpath) have been
extended with support for bulk free, which amortize the overhead of
the (locked) cmpxchg_double.
To use the new bulking feature, we build what I call a detached
freelist. The detached freelist takes advantage of three properties:
1) the free function call owns the object that is about to be freed,
thus writing into this memory is synchronization-free.
2) many freelist's can co-exist side-by-side in the same slab-page
each with a separate head pointer.
3) it is the visibility of the head pointer that needs synchronization.
Given these properties, the brilliant part is that the detached
freelist can be constructed without any need for synchronization. The
freelist is constructed directly in the page objects, without any
synchronization needed. The detached freelist is allocated on the
stack of the function call kmem_cache_free_bulk. Thus, the freelist
head pointer is not visible to other CPUs.
All objects in a SLUB freelist must belong to the same slab-page.
Thus, constructing the detached freelist is about matching objects
that belong to the same slab-page. The bulk free array is scanned is
a progressive manor with a limited look-ahead facility.
Kmem debug support is handled in call of slab_free().
Notice kmem_cache_free_bulk no longer need to disable IRQs. This
only slowed down single free bulk with approx 3 cycles.

To get stable and comparable numbers, the kernel have been booted with
"slab_merge" (this also improve performance for larger bulk sizes).

Performance with normal SLUB merging is significantly slower for
larger bulking. This is believed to (primarily) be an effect of not
having to share the per-CPU data-structures, as tuning per-CPU size
can achieve similar performance.

Make it possible to free a freelist with several objects by adjusting API
of slab_free() and __slab_free() to have head, tail and an objects counter
(cnt).
Tail being NULL indicate single object free of head object. This allow
compiler inline constant propagation in slab_free() and
slab_free_freelist_hook() to avoid adding any overhead in case of single
object free.
This allows a freelist with several objects (all within the same
slab-page) to be free'ed using a single locked cmpxchg_double in
__slab_free() and with an unlocked cmpxchg_double in slab_free().
Object debugging on the free path is also extended to handle these
freelists. When CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG is enabled it will also detect if
objects don't belong to the same slab-page.
These changes are needed for the next patch to bulk free the detached
freelists it introduces and constructs.
Micro benchmarking showed no performance reduction due to this change,
when debugging is turned off (compiled with CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG).

Bulk alloc needs a function like that because it enables interrupts before
calling __slab_alloc which promptly disables them again using the expensive
local_irq_save().

kasan_module_alloc() allocates shadow memory for module and frees it on
module unloading. It doesn't store the pointer to allocated shadow memory
because it could be calculated from the shadowed address, i.e.
kasan_mem_to_shadow(addr).
Since kmemleak cannot find pointer to allocated shadow, it thinks that
memory leaked.
Use kmemleak_ignore() to tell kmemleak that this is not a leak and shadow
memory doesn't contain any pointers.

When building kernel with gcc 5.2, the below warning is raised:
mm/page-writeback.c: In function 'balance_dirty_pages.isra.10':
mm/page-writeback.c:1545:17: warning: 'm_dirty' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
unsigned long m_dirty, m_thresh, m_bg_thresh;
The m_dirty{thresh, bg_thresh} are initialized in the block of "if
(mdtc)", so if mdts is null, they won't be initialized before being used.
Initialize m_dirty to zero, also initialize m_thresh and m_bg_thresh to
keep consistency.
They are used later by if condition: !mdtc || m_dirty <=
dirty_freerun_ceiling(m_thresh, m_bg_thresh)
If mdtc is null, dirty_freerun_ceiling will not be called at all, so the
initialization will not change any behavior other than just ceasing the
compile warning.
(akpm: the patch actually reduces .text size by ~20 bytes on gcc-4.x.y)

MADV_NOHUGEPAGE processing is too restrictive. kvm already disables
hugepage but hugepage_madvise() takes the error path when we ask to turn
on the MADV_NOHUGEPAGE bit and the bit is already on. This causes Qemu's
new postcopy migration feature to fail on s390 because its first action is
to madvise the guest address space as NOHUGEPAGE. This patch modifies the
code so that the operation succeeds without error now.
For consistency reasons do the same for MADV_HUGEPAGE.

Commit 71394fe50146 ("mm: vmalloc: add flag preventing guard hole
allocation") missed a spot. Currently remove_vm_area() decreases vm->size
to "remove" the guard hole page, even when it isn't present. All but one
users just free the vm_struct rigth away and never access vm->size anyway.
Don't touch the size in remove_vm_area() and have __vunmap() use the
proper get_vm_area_size() helper.
