  • When handling a fault in stage-2, we need to resync I$ and D$, just
    to be sure we don't leave any old cache line behind.

    That's very good, except that we do so using the *user* address.
    Under heavy load (swapping like crazy), we may end up in a situation
    where the page gets mapped in stage-2 while being unmapped from
    userspace by another CPU.

    At that point, the DC/IC instructions can generate a fault, which
    we handle with kvm->mmu_lock held. The box quickly deadlocks, user
    is unhappy.

    Instead, perform this invalidation through the kernel mapping,
    which is guaranteed to be present. The box is much happier, and so
    am I.

  • Let's assume a guest has created an uncached mapping, and written
    to that page. Let's also assume that the host uses a cache-coherent
    IO subsystem. Let's finally assume that the host is under memory
    pressure and starts to swap things out.

    Before this "uncached" page is evicted, we need to make sure
    we invalidate potential speculated, clean cache lines that are
    sitting there, or the IO subsystem is going to swap out the
    cached view, loosing the data that has been written directly
    into memory.

  • Trying to emulate the behaviour of set/way cache ops is fairly
    pointless, as there are too many ways we can end-up missing stuff.
    Also, there is some system caches out there that simply ignore
    set/way operations.

    So instead of trying to implement them, let's convert it to VA ops,
    and use them as a way to re-enable the trapping of VM ops. That way,
    we can detect the point when the MMU/caches are turned off, and do
    a full VM flush (which is what the guest was trying to do anyway).

    This allows a 32bit zImage to boot on the APM thingy, and will
    probably help bootloaders in general.

  • The stack guard page error case has long incorrectly caused a SIGBUS
    rather than a SIGSEGV, but nobody actually noticed until commit
    fee7e49d4514 ("mm: propagate error from stack expansion even for guard
    page") because that error case was never actually triggered in any
    normal situations.

    Now that we actually report the error, people noticed the wrong signal
    that resulted. So far, only the test suite of libsigsegv seems to have
    actually cared, but there are real applications that use libsigsegv, so
    let's not wait for any of those to break.

  • The core VM already knows about VM_FAULT_SIGBUS, but cannot return a
    "you should SIGSEGV" error, because the SIGSEGV case was generally
    handled by the caller - usually the architecture fault handler.

    That results in lots of duplication - all the architecture fault
    handlers end up doing very similar "look up vma, check permissions, do
    retries etc" - but it generally works. However, there are cases where
    the VM actually wants to SIGSEGV, and applications _expect_ SIGSEGV.

    In particular, when accessing the stack guard page, libsigsegv expects a
    SIGSEGV. And it usually got one, because the stack growth is handled by
    that duplicated architecture fault handler.

    However, when the generic VM layer started propagating the error return
    from the stack expansion in commit fee7e49d4514 ("mm: propagate error
    from stack expansion even for guard page"), that now exposed the
    existing VM_FAULT_SIGBUS result to user space. And user space really
    expected SIGSEGV, not SIGBUS.

    To fix that case, we need to add a VM_FAULT_SIGSEGV, and teach all those
    duplicate architecture fault handlers about it. They all already have
    the code to handle SIGSEGV, so it's about just tying that new return
    value to the existing code, but it's all a bit annoying.

    This is the mindless minimal patch to do this. A more extensive patch
    would be to try to gather up the mostly shared fault handling logic into
    one generic helper routine, and long-term we really should do that
    cleanup.

    Just from this patch, you can generally see that most architectures just
    copied (directly or indirectly) the old x86 way of doing things, but in
    the meantime that original x86 model has been improved to hold the VM
    semaphore for shorter times etc and to handle VM_FAULT_RETRY and other
    "newer" things, so it would be a good idea to bring all those
    improvements to the generic case and teach other architectures about
    them too.

  • You can't modify the metadata in these modes. It's better to fail these
    messages immediately than let the block-manager deny write locks on
    metadata blocks. Otherwise these failed metadata changes will trigger

  • This effectively reverts the last hunk of 392a9dad7e77 ("rbd: detect
    when clone image is flattened").

    The problem with parent_overlap != 0 condition is that it's possible
    and completely valid to have an image with parent_overlap == 0 whose
    parent state needs to be cleaned up on unmap. The next commit, which
    drops the "clone image now standalone" logic, opens up another window
    of opportunity to hit this, but even without it

    # cat parent-ref.sh
    #!/bin/bash
    rbd create --image-format 2 --size 1 foo
    rbd snap create foo@snap
    rbd snap protect foo@snap
    rbd clone foo@snap bar
    rbd resize --allow-shrink --size 0 bar
    rbd resize --size 1 bar
    DEV=$(rbd map bar)
    rbd unmap $DEV

    leaves rbd_device/rbd_spec/etc and rbd_client along with ceph_client
    hanging around.

    My thinking behind calling rbd_dev_parent_put() unconditionally is that
    there shouldn't be any requests in flight at that point in time as we
    are deep into unmap sequence. Hence, even if rbd_dev_unparent() caused
    by flatten is delayed by in-flight requests, it will have finished by
    the time we reach rbd_dev_unprobe() caused by unmap, thus turning
    unconditional rbd_dev_parent_put() into a no-op.

  • The comment for rbd_dev_parent_get() said

    * We must get the reference before checking for the overlap to
    * coordinate properly with zeroing the parent overlap in
    * rbd_dev_v2_parent_info() when an image gets flattened. We
    * drop it again if there is no overlap.

    but the "drop it again if there is no overlap" part was missing from
    the implementation. This lead to absurd parent_ref values for images
    with parent_overlap == 0, as parent_ref was incremented for each
    img_request and virtually never decremented.

    Fix this by leveraging the fact that refresh path calls
    rbd_dev_v2_parent_info() under header_rwsem and use it for read in
    rbd_dev_parent_get(), instead of messing around with atomics. Get rid
    of barriers in rbd_dev_v2_parent_info() while at it - I don't see what
    they'd pair with now and I suspect we are in a pretty miserable
    situation as far as proper locking goes regardless.

  • Currently ->get_dqblk() and ->set_dqblk() use struct fs_disk_quota which
    tracks space limits and usage in 512-byte blocks. However VFS quotas
    track usage in bytes (as some filesystems require that) and we need to
    somehow pass this information. Upto now it wasn't a problem because we
    didn't do any unit conversion (thus VFS quota routines happily stuck
    number of bytes into d_bcount field of struct fd_disk_quota). Only if
    you tried to use Q_XGETQUOTA or Q_XSETQLIM for VFS quotas (or Q_GETQUOTA
    / Q_SETQUOTA for XFS quotas), you got bogus results. Hardly anyone
    tried this but reportedly some Samba users hit the problem in practice.
    So when we want interfaces compatible we need to fix this.

    We bite the bullet and define another quota structure used for passing
    information from/to ->get_dqblk()/->set_dqblk. It's somewhat sad we have
    to have more conversion routines in fs/quota/quota.c and another copying
    of quota structure slows down getting of quota information by about 2%
    but it seems cleaner than overloading e.g. units of d_bcount to bytes.

    we don't want to release the preallocation for an inode on close when
    there are other writeable file descriptors for the inode. However the

    Just two small fixes for _decode_session6() where we
    might decode to wrong header information in some rare
    situations.

    Please pull or let me know if there are problems.

    During replacement of a rt6_info we must walk all parent nodes and check
    if the to be replaced rt6_info got propagated. If so, replace it with
    an alive one.

    ====================
    Fixes for sh_eth #3

    I'm continuing review and testing of Ethernet support on the R-Car H2
    chip. This series fixes the last of the more serious issues I've found.

    These are not tested on any of the other supported chips.

  • - Use the return value of dma_map_single(), rather than calling
    virt_to_page() separately
    - Check for mapping failue

  • dma_map_single() may fail if an IOMMU or swiotlb is in use, so
    we need to check for this.

  • Currently we try to clear EDRRR and EDTRR and immediately continue to
    free buffers. This is unsafe because:

    - In general, register writes are not serialised with DMA, so we still
    have to wait for DMA to complete somehow
    - The R8A7790 (R-Car H2) manual states that the TX running flag cannot
    be cleared by writing to EDTRR
    - The same manual states that clearing the RX running flag only stops
    RX DMA at the next packet boundary

    I applied this patch to the driver to detect DMA writes to freed
    buffers:

    > --- a/drivers/net/ethernet/renesas/sh_eth.c
    > +++ b/drivers/net/ethernet/renesas/sh_eth.c
    > @@ -1098,7 +1098,14 @@ static void sh_eth_ring_free(struct net_device *ndev)

    > for (i = 0; i < mdp->num_rx_ring; i++)
    > + memcpy(mdp->rx_skbuff[i]->data,

    > + }
    > }
    > kfree(mdp->rx_skbuff);
    > mdp->rx_skbuff = NULL;

    then ran the loop:

    while ethtool -G eth0 rx 128 ; ethtool -G eth0 rx 64; do echo -n .; done

    and 'ping -f' toward the sh_eth port from another machine. The
    warning fired several times a minute.

    To fix these issues:

    - Deactivate all TX descriptors rather than writing to EDTRR
    - As there seems to be no way of telling when RX DMA is stopped,
    perform a soft reset to ensure that both DMA enginess are stopped
    - To reduce the possibility of the reset truncating a transmitted
    frame, disable egress and wait a reasonable time to reach a
    packet boundary before resetting
    - Update statistics before resetting

    (The 'reasonable time' does not allow for CS/CD in half-duplex
    mode, but half-duplex no longer seems reasonable!)

  • If RX traffic is overflowing the FIFO or DMA ring, logging every time
    this happens just makes things worse. These errors are visible in the
    statistics anyway.

    pull-request: can 2015-01-27

    this is another pull request for net/master which consists of 4 patches.

    All 4 patches are contributed by Ahmed S. Darwish, he fixes more problems in
    the kvaser_usb driver.

    David, please merge net/master to net-next/master, as we have more kvaser_usb
    patches in the queue, that target net-next.
