  • Pull drm fixes from Dave Airlie:
    "Intel: edid fixes, power consumption fix, s/r fix, haswell fix

    Radeon: BIOS loading fixes for UEFI and Thunderbolt machines, better
    MSAA validation, lockup timeout fixes, modesetting fixes

    One udl dpms fix, one vmwgfx fix, a couple of trivial core changes.

    There is an export added to ACPI as part of the radeon bios fixes.

    I've also included the fbcon flashing cursor vs deinit race fix, that
    seems the simplest place to start"

    Trivial conflict in drivers/video/console/fbcon.c due to me having
    already applied the fbcon flashing cursor vs deinit race fix, and Dave
    had added a comment in there too.

  • Pull SCSI target fixes from Nicholas Bellinger:
    "The executive summary includes:

    - Post-merge review comments for tcm_vhost (MST + nab)
    - Avoid debugging overhead when not debugging for tcm-fc(FCoE) (MDR)
    - Fix NULL pointer dereference bug on alloc_page failulre (Yi Zou)
    - Fix REPORT_LUNs regression bug with pSCSI export (AlexE + nab)
    - Fix regression bug with handling of zero-length data CDBs (nab)
    - Fix vhost_scsi_target structure alignment (MST)

    Thanks again to everyone who contributed a bugfix patch, gave review
    feedback on tcm_vhost code, and/or reported a bug during their own
    testing over the last weeks.

    There is one other outstanding bug reported by Roland recently related
    to SCSI transfer length overflow handling, for which the current
    proposed bugfix has been left in queue pending further testing with
    other non iscsi-target based fabric drivers.

    As the patch is verified with loopback (local SGL memory from SCSI
    LLD) + tcm_qla2xxx (TCM allocated SGL memory mapped to PCI HW) fabric
    ports, it will be included into the next 3.6-rc-fixes PULL request."

    fix resolves problems with debugfs initialization that Yan found when
    multiple client instances are created (e.g., two clusters mounted, or
    rbd + cephfs), another one fixes problems with mounting a nonexistent
    server subdirectory, and the last one fixes a divide by zero error

  • It seems commit 4a9d4b02 (switch fput to task_work_add) reintroduced
    the problem addressed in commit 944be0b2 (close_files(): add scheduling
    point)

    If a server process with a lot of files (say 2 million tcp sockets)
    is killed, we can spend a lot of time in task_work_run() and trigger
    a soft lockup.

  • we really need to make sure that dropping the last reference happens
    under the group->device_lock; otherwise a loop (under device_lock)
    might find vfio_device instance that is being freed right now, has
    already dropped the last reference and waits on device_lock to exclude
    the sucker from the list.

  • So we've had a fair few reports of fbcon handover breakage between
    efi/vesafb and i915 surface recently, so I dedicated a couple of
    days to finding the problem.

    Essentially the last thing we saw was the conflicting framebuffer
    message and that was all.

    So after much tracing with direct netconsole writes (printks
    under console_lock not so useful), I think I found the race.

    Thread A (driver load) Thread B (timer thread)
    unbind_con_driver -> |
    bind_con_driver -> |
    vc->vc_sw->con_deinit -> |
    fbcon_deinit -> |
    console_lock() |
    | |
    | fbcon_flashcursor timer fires
    | console_lock()
    del_timer_sync
    (BOOM)

    Of course because all of this is under the console lock,
    we never see anything, also since we also just unbound the active
    console guess what we never see anything.

    Hopefully this fixes the problem for anyone seeing vesafb->kms
    driver handoff.

    v1.1: add comment suggestion from Alan.

  • Pull networking update from David Miller:
    "A couple weeks of bug fixing in there. The largest chunk is all the
    broken crap Amerigo Wang found in the netpoll layer."

    1) netpoll and it's users has several serious bugs:
    a) uses GFP_KERNEL with locks held
    b) interfaces requiring interrupts disabled are called with them
    enabled
    c) and vice versa
    d) VLAN tag demuxing, as per all other RX packet input paths, is not
    applied

    All from Amerigo Wang.

    2) Hopefully cure the ipv4 mapped ipv6 address TCP early demux bugs for
    good, from Neal Cardwell.

    3) Unlike AF_UNIX, AF_PACKET sockets don't set a default credentials
    when the user doesn't specify one explicitly during sendmsg().
    Instead we attach an empty (zero) SCM credential block which is
    definitely not what we want. Fix from Eric Dumazet.

    4) IPv6 illegally invokes netdevice notifiers with RCU lock held, fix
    from Ben Hutchings.

    5) inet_csk_route_child_sock() checks wrong inet options pointer, fix
    from Christoph Paasch.

    6) When AF_PACKET is used for transmit, packet loopback doesn't behave
    properly when a socket fanout is enabled, from Eric Leblond.

    7) On bluetooth l2cap channel create failure, we leak the socket, from
    Jaganath Kanakkassery.

    8) Fix all the netprio file handling bugs found by Al Viro, from John
    Fastabend.

    9) Several error return and NULL deref bug fixes in networking drivers
    from Julia Lawall.

    10) A large smattering of struct padding et al. kernel memory leaks to
    userspace found of Mathias Krause.

    11) Conntrack expections in netfilter can access an uninitialized timer,
    fix from Pablo Neira Ayuso.

    12) Several netfilter SIP tracker bug fixes from Patrick McHardy.

    13) IPSEC ipv6 routes are not initialized correctly all the time,
    resulting in an OOPS in inet_putpeer(). Also from Patrick McHardy.

    14) Bridging does rcu_dereference() outside of RCU protected area, from
    Stephen Hemminger.

    15) Fix routing cache removal performance regression when looking up
    output routes that have a local destination. From Zheng Yan.

  • Jim Schutt reported a problem that pointed at compaction contending
    heavily on locks. The workload is straight-forward and in his own words;

    The systems in question have 24 SAS drives spread across 3 HBAs,
    running 24 Ceph OSD instances, one per drive. FWIW these servers
    are dual-socket Intel 5675 Xeons w/48 GB memory. I've got ~160
    Ceph Linux clients doing dd simultaneously to a Ceph file system
    backed by 12 of these servers.

    Early in the test everything looks fine

    There was other data but primarily it is all showing that compaction is
    contended heavily on the zone->lock and zone->lru_lock.

    commit [b2eef8c0: mm: compaction: minimise the time IRQs are disabled
    while isolating pages for migration] noted that it was possible for
    migration to hold the lru_lock for an excessive amount of time. Very
    broadly speaking this patch expands the concept.

    This patch introduces compact_checklock_irqsave() to check if a lock
    is contended or the process needs to be scheduled. If either condition
    is true then async compaction is aborted and the caller is informed.
    The page allocator will fail a THP allocation if compaction failed due
    to contention. This patch also introduces compact_trylock_irqsave()
    which will acquire the lock only if it is not contended and the process
    does not need to schedule.

  • Commit 7db8889ab05b ("mm: have order > 0 compaction start off where it
    left") introduced a caching mechanism to reduce the amount work the free
    page scanner does in compaction. However, it has a problem. Consider
    two process simultaneously scanning free pages

    C
    Process A M S F
    |---------------------------------------|
    Process B M FS

    C is zone->compact_cached_free_pfn
    S is cc->start_pfree_pfn
    M is cc->migrate_pfn
    F is cc->free_pfn

    In this diagram, Process A has just reached its migrate scanner, wrapped
    around and updated compact_cached_free_pfn accordingly.

    Simultaneously, Process B finishes isolating in a block and updates
    compact_cached_free_pfn again to the location of its free scanner.

    Process A moves to "end_of_zone - one_pageblock" and runs this check

    if (cc->order > 0 && (!cc->wrapped ||
    zone->compact_cached_free_pfn >
    cc->start_free_pfn))
    pfn = min(pfn, zone->compact_cached_free_pfn);

    compact_cached_free_pfn is above where it started so the free scanner
    skips almost the entire space it should have scanned. When there are
    multiple processes compacting it can end in a situation where the entire
    zone is not being scanned at all. Further, it is possible for two
    processes to ping-pong update to compact_cached_free_pfn which is just
    random.

    Overall, the end result wrecks allocation success rates.

    There is not an obvious way around this problem without introducing new
    locking and state so this patch takes a different approach.

    First, it gets rid of the skip logic because it's not clear that it
    matters if two free scanners happen to be in the same block but with
    racing updates it's too easy for it to skip over blocks it should not.

    Second, it updates compact_cached_free_pfn in a more limited set of
    circumstances.

    If a scanner has wrapped, it updates compact_cached_free_pfn to the end
    of the zone. When a wrapped scanner isolates a page, it updates
    compact_cached_free_pfn to point to the highest pageblock it
    can isolate pages from.

    If a scanner has not wrapped when it has finished isolated pages it
    checks if compact_cached_free_pfn is pointing to the end of the
    zone. If so, the value is updated to point to the highest
    pageblock that pages were isolated from. This value will not
    be updated again until a free page scanner wraps and resets
    compact_cached_free_pfn.

    This is not optimal and it can still race but the compact_cached_free_pfn
    will be pointing to or very near a pageblock with free pages.

  • Correct the offset by subtracting 20 from tm_hour before taking the
    modulo 12.

    [ "Why 20?" I hear you ask. Or at least I did.

    Here's the reason why: RS5C348_BIT_PM is 32, and is - stupidly -
    included in the RS5C348_HOURS_MASK define. So it's really subtracting
    out that bit to get "hour+12". But then because it does things modulo
    12, it needs to add the 12 in again afterwards anyway.

    This code is confused. It would be much clearer if RS5C348_HOURS_MASK
    just didn't include the RS5C348_BIT_PM bit at all, then it wouldn't
    need to do the silly subtract either.

    Whatever. It's all just math, the end result is the same. - Linus ]

  • Commit cfd19c5a9ecf ("mm: only set page->pfmemalloc when
    ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS was used") tried to narrow down page->pfmemalloc
    setting, but it missed some places the pfmemalloc should be set.

    So, in __slab_alloc, the unalignment pfmemalloc and ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS
    cause incorrect deactivate_slab() on our core2 server:

    64.73% fio [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock
    |
    --- _raw_spin_lock
    |
    |---0.34%-- deactivate_slab
    | __slab_alloc
    | kmem_cache_alloc
    | |

    That causes our fio sync write performance to have a 40% regression.

    Move the checking in get_page_from_freelist() which resolves this issue.

  • On many of our larger systems, CPU 0 has had all of its IRQ resources
    consumed before XPC loads. Worst cases on machines with multiple 10
    GigE cards and multiple IB cards have depleted the entire first socket
    of IRQs.

    This patch makes selecting the node upon which IRQs are allocated (as
    well as all the other GRU Message Queue structures) specifiable as a
    module load param and has a default behavior of searching all nodes/cpus
    for an available resources.

  • Each page mapped in a process's address space must be correctly
    accounted for in _mapcount. Normally the rules for this are
    straightforward but hugetlbfs page table sharing is different. The page
    table pages at the PMD level are reference counted while the mapcount
    remains the same.

    If this accounting is wrong, it causes bugs like this one reported by
    Larry Woodman:

    During fork(), copy_hugetlb_page_range() detects if huge_pte_alloc()
    shared page tables with the check dst_pte == src_pte. The logic is if
    the PMD page is the same, they must be shared. This assumes that the
    sharing is between the parent and child. However, if the sharing is
    with a different process entirely then this check fails as in this
    diagram:

    parent
    |
    ------------>pmd
    src_pte----------> data page
    ^
    other--------->pmd--------------------|
    ^
    child-----------|
    dst_pte

    For this situation to occur, it must be possible for Parent and Other to
    have faulted and failed to share page tables with each other. This is
    possible due to the following style of race.

    PROC A PROC B
    copy_hugetlb_page_range copy_hugetlb_page_range
    src_pte == huge_pte_offset src_pte == huge_pte_offset
    !src_pte so no sharing !src_pte so no sharing

    (time passes)

    hugetlb_fault hugetlb_fault
    huge_pte_alloc huge_pte_alloc
    huge_pmd_share huge_pmd_share
    LOCK(i_mmap_mutex)
    find nothing, no sharing
    UNLOCK(i_mmap_mutex)
    LOCK(i_mmap_mutex)
    find nothing, no sharing
    UNLOCK(i_mmap_mutex)
    pmd_alloc pmd_alloc
    LOCK(instantiation_mutex)
    fault
    UNLOCK(instantiation_mutex)
    LOCK(instantiation_mutex)
    fault
    UNLOCK(instantiation_mutex)

    These two processes are not poing to the same data page but are not
    sharing page tables because the opportunity was missed. When either
    process later forks, the src_pte == dst pte is potentially insufficient.
    As the check falls through, the wrong PTE information is copied in
    (harmless but wrong) and the mapcount is bumped for a page mapped by a
    shared page table leading to the BUG_ON.

    This patch addresses the issue by moving pmd_alloc into huge_pmd_share
    which guarantees that the shared pud is populated in the same critical
    section as pmd. This also means that huge_pte_offset test in
    huge_pmd_share is serialized correctly now which in turn means that the
    success of the sharing will be higher as the racing tasks see the pud
    and pmd populated together.

    Race identified and changelog written mostly by Mel Gorman.
