  • Fix a segfault bug by asking for variable it doesn't find.
    Since the convert_variable() didn't handle error code returned
    from convert_variable_location(), it just passed an incomplete
    variable field and then a segfault was occurred when formatting
    the field.

    This fixes that bug by handling success code correctly in
    convert_variable(). Other callers of convert_variable_location()
    are correctly checking the return code.

    This bug was introduced by following commit. But another hidden
    erroneous error handling has been there previously (-ENOMEM case).

  • Alexander noticed that we use RCU iteration on rb->event_list but do
    not use list_{add,del}_rcu() to add,remove entries to that list, nor
    do we observe proper grace periods when re-using the entries.

    Merge ring_buffer_detach() into ring_buffer_attach() such that
    attaching to the NULL buffer is detaching.

    Furthermore, ensure that between any 'detach' and 'attach' of the same
    event we observe the required grace period, but only when strictly
    required. In effect this means that only ioctl(.request =
    PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_OUTPUT) will wait for a grace period, while the
    normal initial attach and final detach will not be delayed.

    This patch should, I think, do the right thing under all
    circumstances, the 'normal' cases all should never see the extra grace
    period, but the two cases:

    1) PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_OUTPUT on an event which already has a
    ring_buffer set, will now observe the required grace period between
    removing itself from the old and attaching itself to the new buffer.

    This case is 'simple' in that both buffers are present in
    perf_event_set_output() one could think an unconditional
    synchronize_rcu() would be sufficient; however...

    2) an event that has a buffer attached, the buffer is destroyed
    (munmap) and then the event is attached to a new/different buffer
    using PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_OUTPUT.

    This case is more complex because the buffer destruction does:
    ring_buffer_attach(.rb = NULL)
    followed by the ioctl() doing:
    ring_buffer_attach(.rb = foo);

    and we still need to observe the grace period between these two
    calls due to us reusing the event->rb_entry list_head.

    In order to make 2 happen we use Paul's latest cond_synchronize_rcu()
    call.

  • The perf cpu offline callback takes down all cpu context
    events and releases swhash->swevent_hlist.

    This could race with task context software event being just
    scheduled on this cpu via perf_swevent_add while cpu hotplug
    code already cleaned up event's data.

    The race happens in the gap between the cpu notifier code
    and the cpu being actually taken down. Note that only cpu
    ctx events are terminated in the perf cpu hotplug code.

    It's easily reproduced with:
    $ perf record -e faults perf bench sched pipe

    while putting one of the cpus offline:
    # echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online

    Console emits following warning:

  • Vince reported that using a large sample_period (one with bit 63 set)
    results in wreckage since while the sample_period is fundamentally
    unsigned (negative periods don't make sense) the way we implement
    things very much rely on signed logic.

    So limit sample_period to 63 bits to avoid tripping over this.

  • When removing a (sibling) event we do:

    raw_spin_lock_irq(&ctx->lock);
    perf_group_detach(event);
    raw_spin_unlock_irq(&ctx->lock);

    perf_remove_from_context(event);
    raw_spin_lock_irq(&ctx->lock);
    ...
    raw_spin_unlock_irq(&ctx->lock);

    Now, assuming the event is a sibling, it will be 'unreachable' for
    things like ctx_sched_out() because that iterates the
    groups->siblings, and we just unhooked the sibling.

    So, if during we get ctx_sched_out(), it will miss the event
    and not call event_sched_out() on it, leaving it programmed on the
    PMU.

    The subsequent perf_remove_from_context() call will find the ctx is
    inactive and only call list_del_event() to remove the event from all
    other lists.

    Hereafter we can proceed to free the event; while still programmed!

    Close this hole by moving perf_group_detach() inside the same
    ctx->lock region(s) perf_remove_from_context() has.

    The condition on inherited events only in __perf_event_exit_task() is
    likely complete crap because non-inherited events are part of groups
    too and we're tearing down just the same. But leave that for another
    patch.

  • On 64-bit systems, O_LARGEFILE is automatically added to flags inside
    the open() syscall (also openat(), blkdev_open(), etc). Userspace
    therefore defines O_LARGEFILE to be 0 - you can use it, but it's a
    no-op. Everything should be O_LARGEFILE by default.

    But: when fanotify does create_fd() it uses dentry_open(), which skips
    all that. And userspace can't set O_LARGEFILE in fanotify_init()
    because it's defined to 0. So if fanotify gets an event regarding a
    large file, the read() will just fail with -EOVERFLOW.

    This patch adds O_LARGEFILE to fanotify_init()'s event_f_flags on 64-bit
    systems, using the same test as open()/openat()/etc.

  • This reverts commit 0bf1457f0cfc ("mm: vmscan: do not swap anon pages
    just because free+file is low") because it introduced a regression in
    mostly-anonymous workloads, where reclaim would become ineffective and
    trap every allocating task in direct reclaim.

    The problem is that there is a runaway feedback loop in the scan balance
    between file and anon, where the balance tips heavily towards a tiny
    thrashing file LRU and anonymous pages are no longer being looked at.
    The commit in question removed the safe guard that would detect such
    situations and respond with forced anonymous reclaim.

    This commit was part of a series to fix premature swapping in loads with
    relatively little cache, and while it made a small difference, the cure
    is obviously worse than the disease. Revert it.

  • autofs needs to be able to see private data dentry flags for its dentrys
    that are being created but not yet hashed and for its dentrys that have
    been rmdir()ed but not yet freed. It needs to do this so it can block
    processes in these states until a status has been returned to indicate
    the given operation is complete.

    It does this by keeping two lists, active and expring, of dentrys in
    this state and uses ->d_release() to keep them stable while it checks
    the reference count to determine if they should be used.

    But with the recent lockref changes dentrys being freed sometimes don't
    transition to a reference count of 0 before being freed so autofs can
    occassionally use a dentry that is invalid which can lead to a panic.

    1347 BUG();

    After commit 0cd6144aadd2 ("mm + fs: prepare for non-page entries in
    page cache radix trees") this comment and BUG() are out of date because
    exceptional entries can now appear in all mappings - as shadows of
    recently evicted pages.

    However, as Hugh Dickins notes,

    "it is truly surprising for a PAGECACHE_TAG_WRITEBACK (and probably
    any other PAGECACHE_TAG_*) to appear on an exceptional entry.

    I expect it comes down to an occasional race in RCU lookup of the
    radix_tree: lacking absolute synchronization, we might sometimes
    catch an exceptional entry, with the tag which really belongs with
    the unexceptional entry which was there an instant before."

    And indeed, not only is the tree walk lockless, the tags are also read
    in chunks, one radix tree node at a time. There is plenty of time for
    page reclaim to swoop in and replace a page that was already looked up
    as tagged with a shadow entry.

    Remove the BUG() and update the comment. While reviewing all other
    lookup sites for whether they properly deal with shadow entries of
    evicted pages, update all the comments and fix memcg file charge moving
    to not miss shmem/tmpfs swapcache pages.

  • The compaction freepage scanner implementation in isolate_freepages()
    starts by taking the current cc->free_pfn value as the first pfn. In a
    for loop, it scans from this first pfn to the end of the pageblock, and
    then subtracts pageblock_nr_pages from the first pfn to obtain the first
    pfn for the next for loop iteration.

    This means that when cc->free_pfn starts at offset X rather than being
    aligned on pageblock boundary, the scanner will start at offset X in all
    scanned pageblock, ignoring potentially many free pages. Currently this
    can happen when

    a) zone's end pfn is not pageblock aligned, or

    b) through zone->compact_cached_free_pfn with CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE
    enabled and a hole spanning the beginning of a pageblock

    This patch fixes the problem by aligning the initial pfn in
    isolate_freepages() to pageblock boundary. This also permits replacing
    the end-of-pageblock alignment within the for loop with a simple
    pageblock_nr_pages increment.

    Using the fully 64 bit divide functions avoids this problem. It also

  • Currently, I am seeing the following when I `mount -t hugetlbfs /none
    /dev/hugetlbfs`, and then simply do a `ls /dev/hugetlbfs`. I think it's
    related to the fact that hugetlbfs is properly not correctly setting
    itself up in this state?:

    Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0x00000031
    Faulting instruction address: 0xc000000000245710
    Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1]
    SMP NR_CPUS=2048 NUMA pSeries
    ....

    In KVM guests on Power, in a guest not backed by hugepages, we see the
    following:

    AnonHugePages: 0 kB
    HugePages_Total: 0
    HugePages_Free: 0
    HugePages_Rsvd: 0
    HugePages_Surp: 0
    Hugepagesize: 64 kB

    HPAGE_SHIFT == 0 in this configuration, which indicates that hugepages
    are not supported at boot-time, but this is only checked in
    hugetlb_init(). Extract the check to a helper function, and use it in a
    few relevant places.

    This does make hugetlbfs not supported (not registered at all) in this
    environment. I believe this is fine, as there are no valid hugepages
    and that won't change at runtime.

  • After creating a cache for a memcg we should initialize its sysfs attrs
    with the values from its parent. That's what memcg_propagate_slab_attrs
    is for. Currently it's broken - we clearly muddled root-vs-memcg caches
    there. Let's fix it up.

  • Various filesystems don't bother checking for a NULL ACL in
    posix_acl_equiv_mode, and thus can dereference a NULL pointer when it
    gets passed one. This usually happens from the NFS server, as the ACL tools
    never pass a NULL ACL, but instead of one representing the mode bits.

    Instead of adding boilerplat to all filesystems put this check into one place,
    which will allow us to remove the check from other filesystems as well later
    on.

  • If freelist_idx_t is a byte, SLAB_OBJ_MAX_NUM should be 255 not 256, and
    likewise if freelist_idx_t is a short, then it should be 65535 not
    65536.

    This was leading to all kinds of random crashes on sparc64 where
    PAGE_SIZE is 8192. One problem shown was that if spinlock debugging was
    enabled, we'd get deadlocks in copy_pte_range() or do_wp_page() with the
    same cpu already holding a lock it shouldn't hold, or the lock belonging
    to a completely unrelated process.

  • Commit a41adfaa23df ("slab: introduce byte sized index for the freelist
    of a slab") changes the size of freelist index and also changes
    prototype of accessor function to freelist index. And there was a
    mistake.

    The mistake is that although it changes the size of freelist index
    correctly, it changes the size of the index of freelist index
    incorrectly. With patch, freelist index can be 1 byte or 2 bytes, that
    means that num of object on on a slab can be more than 255. So we need
    more than 1 byte for the index to find the index of free object on
    freelist. But, above patch makes this index type 1 byte, so slab which
    have more than 255 objects cannot work properly and in consequence of
    it, the system cannot boot.

    This issue was reported by Steven King on m68knommu which would use
    2 bytes freelist index:

    https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/4/16/433

    To fix is easy. To change the type of the index of freelist index on
    accessor functions is enough to fix this bug. Although 2 bytes is
    enough, I use 4 bytes since it have no bad effect and make things more
    easier. This fix was suggested and tested by Steven in his original
    report.

  • Under "heavy" RX load, the driver cannot handle the descriptors fast
    enough. In detail, when a descriptor is consumed, its used flag is
    cleared and once the RX budget is consumed all descriptors with a
    cleared used flag are prepared to receive more data. Under load though,
    the HW may constantly receive more data and use those descriptors with a
    cleared used flag before they are actually prepared for next usage.

    The head and tail pointers into the RX-ring should always be valid and
    we can omit clearing and checking of the used flag.
