lock_parent() very much on purpose does nested locking of dentries, and
is careful to maintain the right order (lock parent first). But because
it didn't annotate the nested locking order, lockdep thought it might be
a deadlock on d_lock, and complained.Add the proper annotation for the inner locking of the child dentry to
make lockdep happy.Introduced by commit 046b961b45f9 ("shrink_dentry_list(): take parent's

commit 177cf92de4aa97ec1435987e91696ed8b5023130
Author: Daniel Vetter
Date: Tue Apr 1 22:14:59 2014 +0200drm/crtc-helpers: fix dpms on logic
which was merged into 3.15-rc1, broke resume on radeons. Strangely git
bisect lead everyone tocommit 25f397a429dfa43f22c278d0119a60a343aa568f
Author: Daniel Vetter
Date: Fri Jul 19 18:57:11 2013 +0200drm/crtc-helper: explicit DPMS on after modeset
which was merged long ago and actually part of 3.14.
Digging deeper I've noticed (again) that the call to
drm_helper_resume_force_mode in the radeon resume handlers was a no-op
previously because everything gets shut down on suspend. radeon does
this with explicit calls to drm_helper_connector_dpms with DPMS_OFF.
But with 177c we now force the dpms state to ON, so suddenly
resume_force_mode actually forced the crtcs back on.This is the intention of the change after all, the problem is that
radeon resumes the fbdev console layer _before_ restoring the display,
through calling fb_set_suspend. And fbcon does an immediate ->set_par,
which in turn causes the same forced mode restore to happen.Two concurrent modeset operations didn't lead to happiness. Fix this
by delaying the fbcon resume until the end of the readeon resum
functions.v2: Fix up a bit of the spelling fail.

While I play inhouse patches with much memory pressure on qemu-kvm,
3.14 kernel was randomly crashed. The reason was kernel stack overflow.When I investigated the problem, the callstack was a little bit deeper
by involve with reclaim functions but not direct reclaim path.I tried to diet stack size of some functions related with alloc/reclaim
so did a hundred of byte but overflow was't disappeard so that I encounter
overflow by another deeper callstack on reclaim/allocator path.Of course, we might sweep every sites we have found for reducing
stack usage but I'm not sure how long it saves the world(surely,
lots of developer start to add nice features which will use stack
agains) and if we consider another more complex feature in I/O layer
and/or reclaim path, it might be better to increase stack size(
meanwhile, stack usage on 64bit machine was doubled compared to 32bit
while it have sticked to 8K. Hmm, it's not a fair to me and arm64
already expaned to 16K. )So, my stupid idea is just let's expand stack size and keep an eye
toward stack consumption on each kernel functions via stacktrace of ftrace.
For example, we can have a bar like that each funcion shouldn't exceed 200K
and emit the warning when some function consumes more in runtime.
Of course, it could make false positive but at least, it could make a
chance to think over it.I guess this topic was discussed several time so there might be
strong reason not to increase kernel stack size on x86_64, for me not
knowing so Ccing x86_64 maintainers, other MM guys and virtio
maintainers.Here's an example call trace using up the kernel stack:

generate much bigger stack frames due to apparently bad coalescing of
temporaries and generating too many spills. Rusty saw gcc-4.6.4 using
35% more stack on the virtio path than 4.8.2 does, for example.Minchan not only uses such a bad gcc version (4.6.3 in his case), but
some of the stack use is due to debugging (CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is
what causes that kernel_map_pages() frame, for example). But we're
clearly getting too close.The VM code also seems to have excessive stack frames partly for the
same compiler reason, triggered by excessive inlining and lots of
function arguments.We need to improve on our stack use, but in the meantime let's do this
simple stack increase too. Unlike most earlier reports, there is
nothing simple that stands out as being really horribly wrong here,
apart from the fact that the stack frames are just bigger than they
should need to be. - Linus ]Signed-off-by: Minchan Kim

We have the same problem with ->d_lock order in the inner loop, where
we are dropping references to ancestors. Same solution, basically -
instead of using dentry_kill() we use lock_parent() (introduced in the
previous commit) to get that lock in a safe way, recheck ->d_count
(in case if lock_parent() has ended up dropping and retaking ->d_lock
and somebody managed to grab a reference during that window), trylock
the inode->i_lock and use __dentry_kill() to do the rest.Signed-off-by: Al Viro
-
The cause of livelocks there is that we are taking ->d_lock on
dentry and its parent in the wrong order, forcing us to use
trylock on the parent's one. d_walk() takes them in the right
order, and unfortunately it's not hard to create a situation
when shrink_dentry_list() can't make progress since trylock
keeps failing, and shrink_dcache_parent() or check_submounts_and_drop()
keeps calling d_walk() disrupting the very shrink_dentry_list() it's
waiting for.Solution is straightforward - if that trylock fails, let's unlock
the dentry itself and take locks in the right order. We need to
stabilize ->d_parent without holding ->d_lock, but that's doable
using RCU. And we'd better do that in the very beginning of the
loop in shrink_dentry_list(), since the checks on refcount, etc.
would need to be redone anyway.That deals with a half of the problem - killing dentries on the
shrink list itself. Another one (dropping their parents) is
in the next commit.locking parent is interesting - it would be easy to do rcu_read_lock(),
lock whatever we think is a parent, lock dentry itself and check
if the parent is still the right one. Except that we need to check
that *before* locking the dentry, or we are risking taking ->d_lock
out of order. Fortunately, once the D1 is locked, we can check if
D2->d_parent is equal to D1 without the need to lock D2; D2->d_parent
can start or stop pointing to D1 only under D1->d_lock, so taking
D1->d_lock is enough. In other words, the right solution is
rcu_read_lock/lock what looks like parent right now/check if it's
still our parent/rcu_read_unlock/lock the child.Signed-off-by: Al Viro

Undo a feature introduced in v3.14 by commit fcd46b34425d
"firewire: Enable remote DMA above 4 GB". That change raised the
minimum address at which protocol drivers and user programs can register
for request reception from 0x0001'0000'0000 to 0x8000'0000'0000.
It turned out that at least one vendor-specific protocol exists which
uses lower addresses: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=76921For the time being, revert most of commit fcd46b34425d so that affected
protocols work like with kernel v3.13 and before. Just keep the valid
documentation parts from the regressing commit, and the ability to
identify controllers which could be programmed to accept >32 bit
physical DMA addresses. The rest of fcd46b34425d should probably be
brought back as an optional instead of default feature.Reported-by: Fabien Spindler

Commit 9c7e535fcc17 ("arm64: mm: Route pmd thp functions through pte
equivalents") changed the pmd manipulator and accessor functions to
convert the target pmd to a pte, process it with the pte functions, then
convert it back. Along the way, we gained support for PTE_WRITE, however
this is completely ignored by set_pmd_at, and so we fail to set the
PMD_SECT_RDONLY for PMDs, resulting in all sorts of lovely failures (like
CoW not working).Partially reverting the offending commit (by making use of
PMD_SECT_RDONLY explicitly for pmd_{write,wrprotect,mkwrite} functions)
leads to further issues because pmd_write can then return potentially
incorrect values for page table entries marked as RDONLY, leading to
BUG_ON(pmd_write(entry)) tripping under some THP workloads.This patch fixes the issue by routing set_pmd_at through set_pte_at,
which correctly takes the PTE_WRITE flag into account. Given that
THP mappings are always anonymous, the additional cache-flushing code
in __sync_icache_dcache won't impose any significant overhead as the
flush will be skipped.Cc: Catalin Marinas

The content of /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/online is still 1 for those
CPUs that the switcher has removed even though the global state in
/sys/devices/system/cpu/online is updated correctly.It turns out that commit 0902a9044f ("Driver core: Use generic
offline/online for CPU offline/online") has changed the way those files
retrieve their content by relying on on the generic attribute handling
code. The switcher, by calling cpu_down() directly, bypasses this
handling and the attribute value doesn't get updated.Fix this by calling device_offline()/device_online() instead.

The current deadlock detection logic does not work reliably due to the
following early exit path:/*
* Drop out, when the task has no waiters. Note,
* top_waiter can be NULL, when we are in the deboosting
* mode!
*/
if (top_waiter && (!task_has_pi_waiters(task) ||
top_waiter != task_top_pi_waiter(task)))
goto out_unlock_pi;So this not only exits when the task has no waiters, it also exits
unconditionally when the current waiter is not the top priority waiter
of the task.So in a nested locking scenario, it might abort the lock chain walk
and therefor miss a potential deadlock.Simple fix: Continue the chain walk, when deadlock detection is
enabled.We also avoid the whole enqueue, if we detect the deadlock right away
(A-A). It's an optimization, but also prevents that another waiter who
comes in after the detection and before the task has undone the damage
observes the situation and detects the deadlock and returns
-EDEADLOCK, which is wrong as the other task is not in a deadlock
situation.Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner

got ->d_lock and DCACHE_DENTRY_KILLED is set only after lockref_mark_dead().IOW, only one of three call sites of dentry_kill() might end up reaching
that code. Just move it there.Signed-off-by: Al Viro

ptrace_{get,set}_watch_regs access current_cpu_data to get the watch
register count/masks, which calls smp_processor_id(). However they are
run in preemptible context and therefore trigger warnings like so:[ 6340.092000] BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code: gdb/367
[ 6340.092000] caller is ptrace_get_watch_regs+0x44/0x220Since the watch register count/masks should be the same across all
CPUs, use boot_cpu_data instead. Note that this may need to change in
future should a heterogenous system be supported where the count/masks
are not the same across all CPUs (the current code is also incorrect
for this scenario - current_cpu_data here would not necessarily be
correct for the CPU that the target task will execute on).Signed-off-by: Alex Smith

The lock is taken in the raw irq path and therefore a rawlock should be
used instead of a normal spinlock.
While here I drop the export symbol on that variable since there are no
other users.Signed-off-by: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior
