autofs: fix symlinks aren't checked for expiry
The autofs4 module doesn't consider symlinks for expire as it did in the
older autofs v3 module (so it's actually a long standing regression).
The user space daemon has focused on the use of bind mounts instead of
symlinks for a long time now and that's why this has not been noticed.
But with the future addition of amd map parsing to automount(8), not to
mention amd itself (of am-utils), symlink expiry will be needed.
The direct and offset mount types can't be symlinks and the tree mounts of
version 4 were always real mounts so only indirect mounts need expire
symlinks.
Since the current users of the autofs4 module haven't reported this as a
problem to date this patch probably isn't a candidate for backport to
stable.

autofs4: translate pids to the right namespace for the daemon
The PID and the TGID of the process triggering the mount are sent to the
daemon. Currently the global pid values are sent (ones valid in the
initial pid namespace) but this is wrong if the autofs daemon itself is
not running in the initial pid namespace.
So send the pid values that are valid in the namespace of the autofs
daemon.
The namespace to use is taken from the oz_pgrp pid pointer, which was
set at mount time to the mounting process' pid namespace.
If the pid translation fails (the triggering process is in an unrelated
pid namespace) then the automount fails with ENOENT.

autofs4: allow autofs to work outside the initial PID namespace
Enable autofs4 to work in a "container". oz_pgrp is converted from
pid_t to struct pid and this is stored at mount time based on the
"pgrp=" option or if the option is missing then the current pgrp.
The "pgrp=" option is interpreted in the PID namespace of the current
process. This option is flawed in that it doesn't carry the namespace
information, so it should be deprecated. AFAICS the autofs daemon
always sends the current pgrp, which is the default anyway.
The oz_pgrp is also set from the AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_SETPIPEFD_CMD ioctl.
This ioctl sets oz_pgrp to the current pgrp. It is not allowed to
change the pid namespace.
oz_pgrp is used mainly to determine whether the process traversing the
autofs mount tree is the autofs daemon itself or not. This function now
compares the pid pointers instead of the pid_t values.
One other use of oz_pgrp is in autofs4_show_options. There is shows the
virtual pid number (i.e. the one that is valid inside the PID namespace
of the calling process)
For debugging printk convert oz_pgrp to the value in the initial pid
namespace.

test: add minimal module for verification testing
This is a pair of test modules I'd like to see in the tree. Instead of
putting these in lkdtm, where I've been adding various tests that trigger
crashes, these don't make sense there since they need to be either
distinctly separate, or their pass/fail state don't need to crash the
machine.
These live in lib/ for now, along with a few other in-kernel test modules,
and use the slightly more common "test_" naming convention, instead of
"test-". We should likely standardize on the former:
The first is entirely a no-op module, designed to allow simple testing of
the module loading and verification interface. It's useful to have a
module that has no other uses or dependencies so it can be reliably used
for just testing module loading and verification.
The second is a module that exercises the user memory access functions, in
an effort to make sure that we can quickly catch any regressions in
boundary checking (e.g. like what was recently fixed on ARM).
This patch (of 2):
When doing module loading verification tests (for example, with module
signing, or LSM hooks), it is very handy to have a module that can be
built on all systems under test, isn't auto-loaded at boot, and has no
device or similar dependencies. This creates the "test_module.ko" module
for that purpose, which only reports its load and unload to printk.

The VM_SOFTDIRTY bit affects vma merge routine: if two VMAs has all bits

and this forces the kernel to generate new VMAs instead.
It finally may lead to the situation when userspace application reaches
vm.max_map_count limit and get crashed in worse case

Initial problem came from missed VM_SOFTDIRTY in do_brk() routine but
even if we would set up VM_SOFTDIRTY here, there is still a way to
prevent VMAs from merging: one can call
| echo 4 > /proc/$PID/clear_refs
and clear all VM_SOFTDIRTY over all VMAs presented in memory map, then
new do_brk() will try to extend old VMA and finds that dirty bit doesn't
match thus new VMA will be generated.
As discussed with Pavel, the right approach should be to ignore
VM_SOFTDIRTY bit when we're trying to merge VMAs and if merge successed
we mark extended VMA with dirty bit where needed.

memcg: fix css reference leak and endless loop in mem_cgroup_iter
Commit 19f39402864e ("memcg: simplify mem_cgroup_iter") has reorganized
mem_cgroup_iter code in order to simplify it. A part of that change was
dropping an optimization which didn't call css_tryget on the root of the
walked tree. The patch however didn't change the css_put part in
mem_cgroup_iter which excludes root.
This wasn't an issue at the time because __mem_cgroup_iter_next bailed
out for root early without taking a reference as cgroup iterators
(css_next_descendant_pre) didn't visit root themselves.
Nevertheless cgroup iterators have been reworked to visit root by commit bd8815a6d802 ("cgroup: make css_for_each_descendant() and friends
include the origin css in the iteration") when the root bypass have been
dropped in __mem_cgroup_iter_next. This means that css_put is not
called for root and so css along with mem_cgroup and other cgroup
internal object tied by css lifetime are never freed.
Fix the issue by reintroducing root check in __mem_cgroup_iter_next and
do not take css reference for it.
This reference counting magic protects us also from another issue, an
endless loop reported by Hugh Dickins when reclaim races with root
removal and css_tryget called by iterator internally would fail. There
would be no other nodes to visit so __mem_cgroup_iter_next would return
NULL and mem_cgroup_iter would interpret it as "start looping from root
again" and so mem_cgroup_iter would loop forever internally.

mm: audit/fix non-modular users of module_init in core code
Code that is obj-y (always built-in) or dependent on a bool Kconfig
(built-in or absent) can never be modular. So using module_init as an
alias for __initcall can be somewhat misleading.
Fix these up now, so that we can relocate module_init from init.h into
module.h in the future. If we don't do this, we'd have to add module.h
to obviously non-modular code, and that would be a worse thing.
The audit targets the following module_init users for change:
mm/ksm.c bool KSM
mm/mmap.c bool MMU
mm/huge_memory.c bool TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE
mm/mmu_notifier.c bool MMU_NOTIFIER
Note that direct use of __initcall is discouraged, vs. one of the
priority categorized subgroups. As __initcall gets mapped onto
device_initcall, our use of subsys_initcall (which makes sense for these
files) will thus change this registration from level 6-device to level
4-subsys (i.e. slightly earlier).
However no observable impact of that difference has been observed during
testing.
One might think that core_initcall (l2) or postcore_initcall (l3) would
be more appropriate for anything in mm/ but if we look at some actual
init functions themselves, we see things like:
and hence the choice of subsys_initcall (l4) seems reasonable, and at
the same time minimizes the risk of changing the priority too
drastically all at once. We can adjust further in the future.
Also, several instances of missing ";" at EOL are fixed.

In the interim, all __initcall are mapped onto device_initcall, which as
can be seen above, comes quite late in the ordering.
Currently the mm_kobj is created with __initcall in mm_sysfs_init().
This means that any other initcalls that want to reference the mm_kobj
have to be device_initcall (or later), otherwise we will for example,
trip the BUG_ON(!kobj) in sysfs's internal_create_group(). This
unfairly restricts those users; for example something that clearly makes
sense to be an arch_initcall will not be able to choose that.
However, upon examination, it is only this way for historical reasons
(i.e. simply not reprioritized yet). We see that sysfs is ready quite
earlier in init/main.c via:
vfs_caches_init
|_ mnt_init
|_ sysfs_init
well ahead of the processing of the prioritized calls listed above.
So we can recategorize mm_sysfs_init to be a pure_initcall, which in
turn allows any mm_kobj initcall users a wider range (1 --> 7) of
initcall priorities to choose from.

Also register_memory_resource return NULL on failure so we don't have

lock_memory_hotplug is clearly ripe for breakup.
It could be broken up per nid or something but it also covers the

Also there is the issue of various structures(wmarks come to mind) that
are only updated under the lock_memory_hotplug that would need to be

get_allocated_memblock_reserved_regions_info() as well. Similar changes

If there are only a few shrinkers available, such a behavior won't cause
any problems, because the batch_size is usually small, but if we have a
lot of slab shrinkers, which is perfectly possible since FS shrinkers
are now per-superblock, we can end up with hundreds of megabytes of
practically unreclaimable kmem objects. For instance, mounting a
thousand of ext2 FS images with a hundred of files in each and iterating
over all the files using du(1) will result in about 200 Mb of FS caches
that cannot be dropped even with the aid of the vm.drop_caches sysctl!
This problem was initially pointed out by Glauber Costa [*]. Glauber
proposed to fix it by making the shrink_slab() always take at least one
pass, to put it simply, turning the scan loop above to a do{}while()
loop. However, this proposal was rejected, because it could result in
more aggressive and frequent slab shrinking even under low memory
pressure when total_scan is naturally very small.
This patch is a slightly modified version of Glauber's approach.
Similarly to Glauber's patch, it makes shrink_slab() scan less than
batch_size objects, but only if the total number of objects we want to
scan (total_scan) is greater than the total number of objects available
(max_pass). Since total_scan is biased as half max_pass if the current
delta change is small:
this is only possible if we are scanning at high prio. That said, this
patch shouldn't change the vmscan behaviour if the memory pressure is
low, but if we are tight on memory, we will do our best by trying to
reclaim all available objects, which sounds reasonable.
