| 00de651 | Herbert Xu | 14 February 2006, 00:01:27 UTC | [IPSEC]: Fix strange IPsec freeze. Problem discovered and initial patch by Olaf Kirch: there's a problem with IPsec that has been bugging some of our users for the last couple of kernel revs. Every now and then, IPsec will freeze the machine completely. This is with openswan user land, and with kernels up to and including 2.6.16-rc2. I managed to debug this a little, and what happens is that we end up looping in xfrm_lookup, and never get out. With a bit of debug printks added, I can this happening: ip_route_output_flow calls xfrm_lookup xfrm_find_bundle returns NULL (apparently we're in the middle of negotiating a new SA or something) We therefore call xfrm_tmpl_resolve. This returns EAGAIN We go to sleep, waiting for a policy update. Then we loop back to the top Apparently, the dst_orig that was passed into xfrm_lookup has been dropped from the routing table (obsolete=2) This leads to the endless loop, because we now create a new bundle, check the new bundle and find it's stale (stale_bundle -> xfrm_bundle_ok -> dst_check() return 0) People have been testing with the patch below, which seems to fix the problem partially. They still see connection hangs however (things only clear up when they start a new ping or new ssh). So the patch is obvsiouly not sufficient, and something else seems to go wrong. I'm grateful for any hints you may have... I suggest that we simply bail out always. If the dst decides to die on us later on, the packet will be dropped anyway. So there is no great urgency to retry here. Once we have the proper resolution queueing, we can then do the retry again.

The problem seems that a task can get preempted out of the do_debug() processing while it is running on the DEBUG_STACK stack. If another task on that same cpu then enters do_debug() and uses the same per-cpu DEBUG_STACK stack, the previous preempted tasks's stack contents can be corrupted, and the system will oops when the preempted task is context switched back in again. The typical oops looks like the following: Unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffffffffffffae RIP: <ffffffff805452a1>{thread_return+34} PGD 103027 PUD 102429067 PMD 0 Oops: 0002 [1] PREEMPT SMP CPU 0 Modules linked in: Pid: 3786, comm: ssdd Not tainted 2.6.15.2 #1 RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff805452a1>] <ffffffff805452a1>{thread_return+34} RSP: 0018:ffffffff80824058 EFLAGS: 000136c2 RAX: ffff81017e12cea0 RBX: 0000000000000000 RCX: 00000000c0000100 RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: ffff8100f7856e20 RDI: ffff81017e12cea0 RBP: 0000000000000046 R08: ffff8100f68a6000 R09: 0000000000000000 R10: 0000000000000000 R11: ffff81017e12cea0 R12: ffff81000c2d53e8 R13: ffff81017f5b3be8 R14: ffff81000c0036e0 R15: 000001056cbfc899 FS: 00002aaaaaad9b00(0000) GS:ffffffff80883800(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 000000008005003b CR2: ffffffffffffffae CR3: 00000000f6fcf000 CR4: 00000000000006e0 Process ssdd (pid: 3786, threadinfo ffff8100f68a6000, task ffff8100f7856e20) Stack: ffffffff808240d8 ffffffff8012a84a ffff8100055f6c00 0000000000000020 0000000000000001 ffff81000c0036e0 ffffffff808240b8 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 Call Trace: <#DB> <ffffffff8012a84a>{try_to_wake_up+985} <ffffffff8012c0d3>{kick_process+87} <ffffffff8013b262>{signal_wake_up+48} <ffffffff8013b5ce>{specific_send_sig_info+179} <ffffffff80546abc>{_spin_unlock_irqrestore+27} <ffffffff8013b67c>{force_sig_info+159} <ffffffff801103a0>{do_debug+289} <ffffffff80110278>{sync_regs+103} <ffffffff8010ed9a>{paranoid_userspace+35} Unable to handle kernel paging request at 00007fffffb7d000 RIP: <ffffffff8010f2e4>{show_trace+465} PGD f6f25067 PUD f6fcc067 PMD f6957067 PTE 0 Oops: 0000 [2] PREEMPT SMP This patch disables preemptions for the task upon entry to do_debug(), before interrupts are reenabled, and then disables preemption before exiting do_debug(), after disabling interrupts.

| 643a654 | Andrew Morton | 12 February 2006, 01:55:52 UTC | [PATCH] select: fix returned timeval With David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org> select() presently has a habit of increasing the value of the user's `timeout' argument on return. We were writing back a timeout larger than the original. We _deliberately_ round up, since we know we must wait at _least_ as long as the caller asks us to. The patch adds a couple of helper functions for magnitude comparison of timespecs and of timevals, and uses them to prevent the various poll and select functions from returning a timeout which is larger than the one which was passed in. The patch also fixes a bug in compat_sys_pselect7(): it was adding the new timeout value to the old one and was returning that. It should just return the new timeout value. (We have various handy timespec/timeval-to-from-nsec conversion functions in time.h. But this code open-codes it all). Cc: "David S.

Since the current Linux code relies on it use a mixed mode with both PIT for the interrupt and HPET counters for the time keeping. That was already implemented, but didn't work properly because it was still using the last interrupt offset in HPET. This resulted in x460 not booting. Fix this up by using the free running HPET counter. Shouldn't affect any other machine because they either use full HPET mode or no HPET at all. TBD needs a similar 32bit fix.

| cff2b76 | Ulrich Drepper | 12 February 2006, 01:55:47 UTC | [PATCH] fstatat64 support The *at patches introduced fstatat and, due to inusfficient research, I used the newfstat functions generally as the guideline. The result is that on 32-bit platforms we don't have all the information needed to implement fstatat64. This patch modifies the code to pass up 64-bit information if __ARCH_WANT_STAT64 is defined. I renamed the syscall entry point to make this clear. Other archs will continue to use the existing code. On x86-64 the compat code is implemented using a new sys32_ function. this is what is done for the other stat syscalls as well. This patch might break some other archs (those which define __ARCH_WANT_STAT64 and which already wired up the syscall). Yet others might need changes to accomodate the compatibility mode. I really don't want to do that work because all this stat handling is a mess (more so in glibc, but the kernel is also affected). It should be done by the arch maintainers. I'll provide some stand-alone test shortly. Those who are eager could compile glibc and run 'make check' (no installation needed). The patch below has been tested on x86 and x86-64.

| 9c15e85 | Haren Myneni | 10 February 2006, 09:51:05 UTC | [PATCH] kexec: fix in free initrd when overlapped with crashkernel region It is possible that the reserved crashkernel region can be overlapped with initrd since the bootloader sets the initrd location. When the initrd region is freed, the second kernel memory will not be contiguous. The Kexec_load can cause an oops since there is no contiguous memory to write the second kernel or this memory could be used in the first kernel itself and may not be part of the dump. For example, on powerpc, the initrd is located at 36MB and the crashkernel starts at 32MB. The kexec_load caused panic since writing into non-allocated memory (after 36MB). We could see the similar issue even on other archs. One possibility is to move the initrd outside of crashkernel region. But, the initrd region will be freed anyway before the system is up. This patch fixes this issue and frees only regions that are not part of crashkernel memory in case overlaps. Signed-off-by: Haren Myneni <haren@us.ibm.com> Acked-by: "Eric W.

| a200057 | Nick Piggin | 10 February 2006, 09:51:02 UTC | [PATCH] sched: remove smpnice I don't think the code is quite ready, which is why I asked for Peter's additions to also be merged before I acked it (although it turned out that it still isn't quite ready with his additions either). Basically I have had similar observations to Suresh in that it does not play nicely with the rest of the balancing infrastructure (and raised similar concerns in my review). The samples (group of 4) I got for "maximum recorded imbalance" on a 2x2 SMP+HT Xeon are as follows: | Following boot | hackbench 20 | hackbench 40 -----------+----------------+---------------------+--------------------- 2.6.16-rc2 | 30,37,100,112 | 5600,5530,6020,6090 | 6390,7090,8760,8470 +nosmpnice | 3, 2, 4, 2 | 28, 150, 294, 132 | 348, 348, 294, 347 Hackbench raw performance is down around 15% with smpnice (but that in itself isn't a huge deal because it is just a benchmark). However, the samples show that the imbalance passed into move_tasks is increased by about a factor of 10-30. I think this would also go some way to explaining latency blips turning up in the balancing code (though I haven't actually measured that). We'll probably have to revert this in the SUSE kernel.
