The Requirements.html document says "Disabling Preemption Does
Not Block Grace Periods". However this is no longer true with
the RCU consolidation. This commit therefore removes the obsolete
(non-)requirement entirely.

The whatisRCU.txt document says rcu_dereference() cannot be used
outside of rcu_read_lock() protected sections. The commit adds a
mention of rcu_dereference_protected(), so that the new reader knows
that this API can be used to avoid update-side use of rcu_read_lock()
and rcu_read_unlock().

The checklist suggests rcu_barrier_bh() for RCU-bh and similarly for
sched, however these APIs are now implemented as rcu_barrier() itself due
to the RCU consolidation. This commit therefore corrects checklist.txt
to encourage use of the underlying rcu_barrier() API.

RCU consolidation effort causes the update side of the RCU API to
be consistent across all the 3 RCU flavors (normal, sched, bh). This
commit therefore updates the full API in the whatisRCU document, thus
encouraging people to use the consolidated RCU update API instead of
the old RCU-bh and RCU-sched update APIs.
Also rcu_dereference is documented to be the same for all 3 mechanisms
(even before the consolidation), however its actually different - as
using the right rcu_dereference primitive (such as rcu_dereference_bh
for bh) is needed to make lock debugging work correctly. This update
also corrects that.
Also, add local_bh_disable() and local_bh_enable() as softirq
protection primitives and correct a grammar error in a quiz answer.

syzbot is reporting too large memory allocation at bfs_fill_super() [1].
Since file system image is corrupted such that bfs_sb->s_start == 0,
bfs_fill_super() is trying to allocate 8MB of continuous memory. Fix
this by adding a sanity check on bfs_sb->s_start, __GFP_NOWARN and
printf().

THP allocation mode is quite complex and it depends on the defrag mode.
This complexity is hidden in alloc_hugepage_direct_gfpmask from a large
part currently. The NUMA special casing (namely __GFP_THISNODE) is
however independent and placed in alloc_pages_vma currently. This both
adds an unnecessary branch to all vma based page allocation requests and
it makes the code more complex unnecessarily as well. Not to mention
that e.g. shmem THP used to do the node reclaiming unconditionally
regardless of the defrag mode until recently. This was not only
unexpected behavior but it was also hardly a good default behavior and I
strongly suspect it was just a side effect of the code sharing more than
a deliberate decision which suggests that such a layering is wrong.
Get rid of the thp special casing from alloc_pages_vma and move the
logic to alloc_hugepage_direct_gfpmask. __GFP_THISNODE is applied to the
resulting gfp mask only when the direct reclaim is not requested and
when there is no explicit numa binding to preserve the current logic.
Please note that there's also a slight difference wrt MPOL_BIND now. The
previous code would avoid using __GFP_THISNODE if the local node was
outside of policy_nodemask(). After this patch __GFP_THISNODE is avoided
for all MPOL_BIND policies. So there's a difference that if local node
is actually allowed by the bind policy's nodemask, previously
__GFP_THISNODE would be added, but now it won't be. From the behavior
POV this is still correct because the policy nodemask is used.

ocfs2_defrag_extent() might leak allocated clusters. When the file

less than the caller wants. If that happens, the original code might
directly commit the transaction without returning clusters.

The handling of timestamps outside of the 1970..2038 range in the dlm
glue is rather inconsistent: on 32-bit architectures, this has always
wrapped around to negative timestamps in the 1902..1969 range, while on
64-bit kernels all timestamps are interpreted as positive 34 bit numbers
in the 1970..2514 year range.
Now that the VFS code handles 64-bit timestamps on all architectures, we
can make the behavior more consistent here, and return the same result
that we had on 64-bit already, making the file system y2038 safe in the
process. Outside of dlmglue, it already uses 64-bit on-disk timestamps
anway, so that part is fine.
For consistency, I'm changing ocfs2_pack_timespec() to clamp anything
outside of the supported range to the minimum and maximum values. This
avoids a possible ambiguity of values before 1970 in particular, which
used to be interpreted as times at the end of the 2514 range previously.

ocfs2_read_blocks() and ocfs2_read_blocks_sync() are both used to read
several blocks from disk. Currently, the input argument *bhs* can be
NULL or NOT. It depends on the caller's behavior. If the function
fails in reading blocks from disk, the corresponding bh will be assigned
to NULL and put.
Obviously, above process for non-NULL input bh is not appropriate.
Because the caller doesn't even know its bhs are put and re-assigned.
If buffer head is managed by caller, ocfs2_read_blocks and
ocfs2_read_blocks_sync() should not evaluate it to NULL. It will cause
caller accessing illegal memory, thus crash.

Somehow, file system metadata was corrupted, which causes
ocfs2_check_dir_entry() to fail in function ocfs2_dir_foreach_blk_el().
According to the original design intention, if above happens we should
skip the problematic block and continue to retrieve dir entry. But
there is obviouse misuse of brelse around related code.
After failure of ocfs2_check_dir_entry(), current code just moves to
next position and uses the problematic buffer head again and again
during which the problematic buffer head is released for multiple times.
I suppose, this a serious issue which is long-lived in ocfs2. This may
cause other file systems which is also used in a the same host insane.
So we should also consider about bakcporting this patch into linux

The defrag mode is "madvise" and from the above report it is clear that
the THP has been allocated for MADV_HUGEPAGA vma.
Andrea has identified that the main source of the problem is
__GFP_THISNODE usage:
: The problem is that direct compaction combined with the NUMA
: __GFP_THISNODE logic in mempolicy.c is telling reclaim to swap very
: hard the local node, instead of failing the allocation if there's no
: THP available in the local node.
:
: Such logic was ok until __GFP_THISNODE was added to the THP allocation
: path even with MPOL_DEFAULT.
:
: The idea behind the __GFP_THISNODE addition, is that it is better to
: provide local memory in PAGE_SIZE units than to use remote NUMA THP
: backed memory. That largely depends on the remote latency though, on
: threadrippers for example the overhead is relatively low in my
: experience.
:
: The combination of __GFP_THISNODE and __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM results in
: extremely slow qemu startup with vfio, if the VM is larger than the
: size of one host NUMA node. This is because it will try very hard to
: unsuccessfully swapout get_user_pages pinned pages as result of the
: __GFP_THISNODE being set, instead of falling back to PAGE_SIZE
: allocations and instead of trying to allocate THP on other nodes (it
: would be even worse without vfio type1 GUP pins of course, except it'd
: be swapping heavily instead).
Fix this by removing __GFP_THISNODE for THP requests which are
requesting the direct reclaim. This effectivelly reverts 5265047ac3
on the grounds that the zone/node reclaim was known to be disruptive due
to premature reclaim when there was memory free. While it made sense at
the time for HPC workloads without NUMA awareness on rare machines, it
was ultimately harmful in the majority of cases. The existing behaviour
is similar, if not as widespare as it applies to a corner case but
crucially, it cannot be tuned around like zone_reclaim_mode can. The
default behaviour should always be to cause the least harm for the
common case.
If there are specialised use cases out there that want zone_reclaim_mode
in specific cases, then it can be built on top. Longterm we should
consider a memory policy which allows for the node reclaim like behavior
for the specific memory ranges which would allow a

This was a severe regression compared to previous kernels that made
important workloads unusable and it starts when __GFP_THISNODE was
added to THP allocations under MADV_HUGEPAGE. It is not a significant
risk to go to the previous behavior before __GFP_THISNODE was added, it
worked like that for years.
This was simply an optimization to some lucky workloads that can fit in
a single node, but it ended up breaking the VM for others that can't
possibly fit in a single node, so going back is safe.

Mike Galbraith reported a regression caused by the commit 9b6f7e163c
("mm: rework memcg kernel stack accounting") on a system with
"cgroup_disable=memory" boot option: the system panics with the following
stack trace:
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 00000000000000f8

The problem occurs because get_mem_cgroup_from_current() returns the NULL
pointer if memory controller is disabled. Let's check if this is a case
at the beginning of memcg_kmem_charge() and just return 0 if
mem_cgroup_disabled() returns true. This is how we handle this case in
many other places in the memory controller code.
