Trond Myklebust d19751e7b9 SUNRPC: Get rid of the redundant xprt->shutdown bit field
It is only set after everyone has dereferenced the transport,
and serves no useful purpose: setting it is racy, so all the

Trond Myklebust 05990d1bf2 NFS: Fix fdatasync/fsync() when confronted with a server reboot
If the server reboots before it can commit the unstable writes to disk,
then nfs_commit_release_pages() will detect this when it compares the
verifier returned by COMMIT to the one returned by WRITE. When this
happens, the client needs to resend those writes in order to guarantee
that they make it to stable storage.

This patch adds a signalling mechanism to notify fsync() that it
needs to retry all writes before it can exit.

NeilBrown 62d98c9354 NFS4: avoid underflow when converting error to pointer.
In nfs4_create_sec_client, 'flavor' can hold a negative error
code (returned from nfs4_negotiate_security), even though it
is an 'enum' and hence unsigned.

The code is careful to cast it to an (int) before testing if it
is negative, however it doesn't cast to an (int) before calling
ERR_PTR.

On a machine where "void*" is larger than "int", this results in
the unsigned equivalent of -1 (e.g. 0xffffffff) being converted
to a pointer.  Subsequent code determines that this is not
negative, and so  dereferences it with predictable results.

So: cast 'flavor' to a (signed) int before passing to ERR_PTR.

  As discussed, the fix is now two parts - one to reimplement

  the actual fix which makes powernow-k8 use work_on_cpu() instead of
  performing manual migration.

  workqueue: reimplement work_on_cpu() using system_wq
2012-09-19 11:00:07 -07:00
Tejun Heo 6889125b8b cpufreq/powernow-k8: workqueue user shouldn't migrate the kworker to another CPU
powernowk8_target() runs off a per-cpu work item and if the
cpufreq_policy->cpu is different from the current one, it migrates the
kworker to the target CPU by manipulating current->cpus_allowed.  The
function migrates the kworker back to the original CPU but this is
still broken.  Workqueue concurrency management requires the kworkers
to stay on the same CPU and powernowk8_target() ends up triggerring
BUG_ON(rq != this_rq()) in try_to_wake_up_local() if it contends on
fidvid_mutex and sleeps.

It is unclear why this bug is being reported now.  Duncan says it
appeared to be a regression of 3.6-rc1 and couldn't reproduce it on
3.5.  Bisection seemed to point to 63d95a91 "workqueue: use @pool
instead of @gcwq or @cpu where applicable" which is an non-functional
change.  Given that the reproduce case sometimes took upto days to
trigger, it's easy to be misled while bisecting.  Maybe something made
contention on fidvid_mutex more likely?  I don't know.

This patch fixes the bug by using work_on_cpu() instead if @pol->cpu
isn't the same as the current one.  The code assumes that
cpufreq_policy->cpu is kept online by the caller, which Rafael tells
me is the case.

stable: ed48ece27c ("workqueue: reimplement work_on_cpu() using
        system_wq") should be applied before this; otherwise, the
        behavior could be horrible.

Tejun Heo ed48ece27c workqueue: reimplement work_on_cpu() using system_wq
The existing work_on_cpu() implementation is hugely inefficient.  It
creates a new kthread, execute that single function and then let the
kthread die on each invocation.

Now that system_wq can handle concurrent executions, there's no
advantage of doing this.  Reimplement work_on_cpu() using system_wq
which makes it simpler and way more efficient.

stable: While this isn't a fix in itself, it's needed to fix a
        workqueue related bug in cpufreq/powernow-k8.  AFAICS, this
        shouldn't break other existing users.

NeilBrown 6dafab6b13 md: make sure metadata is updated when spares are activated or removed.
It isn't always necessary to update the metadata when spares are
removed as the presence-or-not of a spare isn't really important to
the integrity of an array.
Also activating a spare doesn't always require updating the metadata
as the update on 'recovery-completed' is usually sufficient.

However the introduction of 'replacement' devices have made these
transitions sometimes more important.  For example the 'Replacement'
flag isn't cleared until the original device is removed, so we need
to ensure a metadata update after that 'spare' is removed.

So set MD_CHANGE_DEVS whenever a spare is activated or removed, to
complement the current situation where it is set when a spare is added
or a device is failed (or a number of other less common situations).

This is suitable for -stable as out-of-data metadata could lead
to data corruption.
This is only relevant for 3.3 and later 9when 'replacement' as
introduced.

NeilBrown e5c86471f9 md/raid5: fix calculate of 'degraded' when a replacement becomes active.
When a replacement device becomes active, we mark the device that it
replaces as 'faulty' so that it can subsequently get removed.
However 'calc_degraded' only pays attention to the primary device, not
the replacement, so the array appears to become degraded, which is
wrong.

So teach 'calc_degraded' to consider any replacement if a primary
device is faulty.

This is suitable for -stable as an incorrect 'degraded' value can
confuse md and could lead to data corruption.
This is only relevant for 3.3 and later.

Miklos Szeredi b161dfa693 vfs: dcache: use DCACHE_DENTRY_KILLED instead of DCACHE_DISCONNECTED in d_kill()
IBM reported a soft lockup after applying the fix for the rename_lock
deadlock.  Commit c83ce989cb ("VFS: Fix the nfs sillyrename regression
in kernel 2.6.38") was found to be the culprit.

The nfs sillyrename fix used DCACHE_DISCONNECTED to indicate that the
dentry was killed.  This flag can be set on non-killed dentries too,
which results in infinite retries when trying to traverse the dentry
tree.

This patch introduces a separate flag: DCACHE_DENTRY_KILLED, which is
only set in d_kill() and makes try_to_ascend() test only this flag.

IBM reported successful test results with this patch.

on the floor.  Unlike a similar bug in the hpsa driver, this bug
only affects tape drives and CD and DVD ROM drives in the cciss
driver, and to induce it, you have to disconnect (or damage) a
cable, so it is not a very likely scenario (which would explain
why the bug has gone undetected for the last 10 years.)

Al Viro 5e071e2b4b sh: Fix up TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME sans TIF_SIGPENDING handling.
As Al notes, we missed a TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME check which caused any
handlers without TIF_SIGPENDING also set to skip the notification:

	Looks like while it is in the relevant masks *and* checked in
	do_notify_resume() both on 32bit and 64bit variants since commit
	ab99c733ae ("sh: Make syscall tracer
	use tracehook notifiers, add TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME.") they are
	actually *not* reached without simulataneous SIGPENDING, since
	the actual glue in the callers had not been updated back then and
	still checks for _TIF_SIGPENDING alone when deciding whether to
	hit do_notify_resume() or not.

Linus Torvalds 4651afbbae Merge branch 'for-3.6-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq
Pull another workqueue fix from Tejun Heo:
 "Unfortunately, yet another late fix.  This too is discovered and fixed
  by Lai.  This bug was introduced during this merge window by commit
  25511a4776 ("workqueue: reimplement CPU online rebinding to handle
  idle workers") which started using WORKER_REBIND flag for idle rebind
  too.

  The bug is relatively easy to trigger if the CPU rapidly goes through
  off, on and then off (and stay off).  The fix is on the safer side.
  This hasn't been on linux-next yet but I'm pushing early so that it
  can get more exposure before v3.6 release."

2012-09-17 16:05:23 -07:00
Lai Jiangshan 960bd11bf2 workqueue: always clear WORKER_REBIND in busy_worker_rebind_fn()
busy_worker_rebind_fn() didn't clear WORKER_REBIND if rebinding failed
(CPU is down again).  This used to be okay because the flag wasn't
used for anything else.

However, after 25511a477 "workqueue: reimplement CPU online rebinding
to handle idle workers", WORKER_REBIND is also used to command idle
workers to rebind.  If not cleared, the worker may confuse the next
CPU_UP cycle by having REBIND spuriously set or oops / get stuck by
prematurely calling idle_worker_rebind().

qiuxishi f14851af0e memory hotplug: fix section info double registration bug
There may be a bug when registering section info.  For example, on my
Itanium platform, the pfn range of node0 includes the other nodes, so
other nodes' section info will be double registered, and memmap's page
count will equal to 3.

  node0: start_pfn=0x100,    spanned_pfn=0x20fb00, present_pfn=0x7f8a3, => 0x000100-0x20fc00
  node1: start_pfn=0x80000,  spanned_pfn=0x80000,  present_pfn=0x80000, => 0x080000-0x100000
  node2: start_pfn=0x100000, spanned_pfn=0x80000,  present_pfn=0x80000, => 0x100000-0x180000
  node3: start_pfn=0x180000, spanned_pfn=0x80000,  present_pfn=0x80000, => 0x180000-0x200000

  free_all_bootmem_node()
	register_page_bootmem_info_node()

Li Haifeng 0ba8f2d593 mm/page_alloc: fix the page address of higher page's buddy calculation
The heuristic method for buddy has been introduced since commit
43506fad21 ("mm/page_alloc.c: simplify calculation of combined index
of adjacent buddy lists").  But the page address of higher page's buddy
was wrongly calculated, which will lead page_is_buddy to fail for ever.
IOW, the heuristic method would be disabled with the wrong page address
of higher page's buddy.

Calculating the page address of higher page's buddy should be based
higher_page with the offset between index of higher page and index of
higher page's buddy.

Kevin Hilman 8dcebaa9a0 drivers/rtc/rtc-twl.c: ensure all interrupts are disabled during probe
On some platforms, bootloaders are known to do some interesting RTC
programming.  Without going into the obscurities as to why this may be
the case, suffice it to say the the driver should not make any
assumptions about the state of the RTC when the driver loads.  In
particular, the driver probe should be sure that all interrupts are
disabled until otherwise programmed.

This was discovered when finding bursty I2C traffic every second on
Overo platforms.  This I2C overhead was keeping the SoC from hitting
deep power states.  The cause was found to be the RTC firing every
second on the I2C-connected TWL PMIC.

Special thanks to Felipe Balbi for suggesting to look for a rogue driver
as the source of the I2C traffic rather than the I2C driver itself.

Special thanks to Steve Sakoman for helping track down the source of the
continuous RTC interrups on the Overo boards.

The kernel doesn't check the pid for negative values, so if you try to
write -2 to /proc/sys/kernel/ns_last_pid, you will get a kernel panic.

The crash happens because the next pid is -1, and alloc_pidmap() will
try to access to a nonexistent pidmap.

Commit c76562b670 ("netvm: prevent a stream-specific deadlock")
accidentally replaced the "size" parameter of sk_rmem_schedule() with an
unsigned int.  This changes the semantics of the comparison in the
return statement.

In sk_wmem_schedule we have syntactically the same comparison, but
"size" is a signed integer.  In addition, __sk_mem_schedule() takes a
signed integer for its "size" parameter, so there is an implicit type
conversion in sk_rmem_schedule() anyway.

Revert the "size" parameter back to a signed integer so that the
semantics of the expressions in both sk_[rw]mem_schedule() are exactly
the same.

Joonsoo Kim 8ba00bb68a slub: consider pfmemalloc_match() in get_partial_node()
get_partial() is currently not checking pfmemalloc_match() meaning that
it is possible for pfmemalloc pages to leak to non-pfmemalloc users.
This is a problem in the following situation.  Assume that there is a
request from normal allocation and there are no objects in the per-cpu
cache and no node-partial slab.

In this case, slab_alloc enters the slow path and new_slab_objects() is
called which may return a PFMEMALLOC page.  As the current user is not
allowed to access PFMEMALLOC page, deactivate_slab() is called
([5091b74a: mm: slub: optimise the SLUB fast path to avoid pfmemalloc
checks]) and returns an object from PFMEMALLOC page.

Next time, when we get another request from normal allocation,
slab_alloc() enters the slow-path and calls new_slab_objects().  In
new_slab_objects(), we call get_partial() and get a partial slab which
was just deactivated but is a pfmemalloc page.  We extract one object
from it and re-deactivate.

  "deactivate -> re-get in get_partial -> re-deactivate" occures repeatedly.

As a result, access to PFMEMALLOC page is not properly restricted and it
can cause a performance degradation due to frequent deactivation.
deactivation frequently.

This patch changes get_partial_node() to take pfmemalloc_match() into
account and prevents the "deactivate -> re-get in get_partial()
scenario.  Instead, new_slab() is called.

Mel Gorman 30c29bea6a slab: do ClearSlabPfmemalloc() for all pages of slab
Right now, we call ClearSlabPfmemalloc() for first page of slab when we
clear SlabPfmemalloc flag.  This is fine for most swap-over-network use
cases as it is expected that order-0 pages are in use.  Unfortunately it
is possible that that __ac_put_obj() checks SlabPfmemalloc on a tail
page and while this is harmless, it is sloppy.  This patch ensures that
the head page is always used.

This problem was originally identified by Joonsoo Kim.

Paul Clements fded4e090c nbd: clear waiting_queue on shutdown
Fix a serious but uncommon bug in nbd which occurs when there is heavy
I/O going to the nbd device while, at the same time, a failure (server,
network) or manual disconnect of the nbd connection occurs.

There is a small window between the time that the nbd_thread is stopped
and the socket is shutdown where requests can continue to be queued to
nbd's internal waiting_queue.  When this happens, those requests are
never completed or freed.

The fix is to clear the waiting_queue on shutdown of the nbd device, in
the same way that the nbd request queue (queue_head) is already being
cleared.

Jianguo Wu 05cf96398e mm/ia64: fix a memory block size bug
I found following definition in include/linux/memory.h, in my IA64
platform, SECTION_SIZE_BITS is equal to 32, and MIN_MEMORY_BLOCK_SIZE
will be 0.

  #define MIN_MEMORY_BLOCK_SIZE     (1 << SECTION_SIZE_BITS)

Because MIN_MEMORY_BLOCK_SIZE is int type and length of 32bits,
so MIN_MEMORY_BLOCK_SIZE(1 << 32) will will equal to 0.
Actually when SECTION_SIZE_BITS >= 31, MIN_MEMORY_BLOCK_SIZE will be wrong.
This will cause wrong system memory infomation in sysfs.
I think it should be:

  #define MIN_MEMORY_BLOCK_SIZE     (1UL << SECTION_SIZE_BITS)

And "echo offline > memory0/state" will cause following call trace:

Wen Congyang 18b48d5873 memory hotplug: reset pgdat->kswapd to NULL if creating kernel thread fails
If kthread_run() fails, pgdat->kswapd contains errno.  When we stop this
thread, we only check whether pgdat->kswapd is NULL and access it.  If
it contains errno, it will cause page fault.  Reset pgdat->kswapd to
NULL when creating kernel thread fails can avoid this problem.

Francesco Ruggeri 6bf6104573 fs/proc: fix potential unregister_sysctl_table hang
The unregister_sysctl_table() function hangs if all references to its
ctl_table_header structure are not dropped.

This can happen sometimes because of a leak in proc_sys_lookup():
proc_sys_lookup() gets a reference to the table via lookup_entry(), but
it does not release it when a subsequent call to sysctl_follow_link()
fails.

This patch fixes this leak by making sure the reference is always
dropped on return.

See also commit 076c3eed2c ("sysctl: Rewrite proc_sys_lookup
introducing find_entry and lookup_entry") which reorganized this code in
3.4.

Tested in Linux 3.4.4.
