6d2144d Joe Korty 05 March 2008, 23:04:59 UTC slab: NUMA slab allocator migration bugfix NUMA slab allocator cpu migration bugfix The NUMA slab allocator (specifically, cache_alloc_refill) is not refreshing its local copies of what cpu and what numa node it is on, when it drops and reacquires the irq block that it inherited from its caller. As a result those values become invalid if an attempt to migrate the process to another numa node occured while the irq block had been dropped. The solution is to make cache_alloc_refill reload these variables whenever it drops and reacquires the irq block. The error is very difficult to hit. When it does occur, one gets the following oops + stack traceback bits in check_spinlock_acquired: kernel BUG at mm/slab.c:2417 cache_alloc_refill+0xe6 kmem_cache_alloc+0xd0 ... This patch was developed against 2.6.23, ported to and compiled-tested only against 2.6.25-rc4.

b621038 Nick Piggin 05 March 2008, 22:05:56 UTC slub: Do not cross cacheline boundaries for very small objects SLUB should pack even small objects nicely into cachelines if that is what has been asked for. Use the same algorithm as SLAB for this. The effect of this patch for a system with a cacheline size of 64 bytes is that the 24 byte sized slab caches will now put exactly 2 objects into a cacheline instead of 3 with some overlap into the next cacheline. This reduces the object density in a 4k slab from 170 to 128 objects (same as SLAB).

f9c3a38 Eric Paris 05 March 2008, 19:20:18 UTC NFS: use new LSM interfaces to explicitly set mount options NFS and SELinux worked together previously because SELinux had NFS specific knowledge built in. This design was approved by both groups back in 2004 but the recent NFS changes to use nfs_parsed_mount_data and the usage of nfs_clone_mount_data showed this to be a poor fragile solution. This patch fixes the NFS functionality regression by making use of the new LSM interfaces to allow an FS to explicitly set its own mount options. The explicit setting of mount options is done in the nfs get_sb functions which are called before the generic vfs hooks try to set mount options for filesystems which use text mount data. This does not currently support NFSv4 as that functionality did not exist in previous kernels and thus there is no regression. I will be adding the needed code, which I believe to be the exact same as the v3 code, in nfs4_get_sb for 2.6.26.

e000752 Eric Paris 05 March 2008, 15:31:54 UTC LSM/SELinux: Interfaces to allow FS to control mount options Introduce new LSM interfaces to allow an FS to deal with their own mount options. This includes a new string parsing function exported from the LSM that an FS can use to get a security data blob and a new security data blob. This is particularly useful for an FS which uses binary mount data, like NFS, which does not pass strings into the vfs to be handled by the loaded LSM. Also fix a BUG() in both SELinux and SMACK when dealing with binary mount data. If the binary mount data is less than one page the copy_page() in security_sb_copy_data() can cause an illegal page fault and boom. Remove all NFSisms from the SELinux code since they were broken by past NFS changes.

This causes the detection routine to skip the first memory segment which has a size of 1MB. Which later on will let the kernel think that there is no memory available at all. Since in addition the z/VM memory increment size is 1MB force MAX_ORDER to be 9, so we can support 1MB segments.

Table 5 in RFC2131 page 36 requests the fields 'ciaddr' and 'siaddr' MUST be set to '0'. These DHCP servers ignore Linux kernel's DHCP discovery packets with these two fields set to '255.255.255.255' (in contrast to popular DHCP clients, such as 'dhclient' or 'udhcpc').

348e1e0 Nishanth Aravamudan 04 March 2008, 22:29:42 UTC hugetlb: fix pool shrinking while in restricted cpuset Adam Litke noticed that currently we grow the hugepage pool independent of any cpuset the running process may be in, but when shrinking the pool, the cpuset is checked. This leads to inconsistency when shrinking the pool in a restricted cpuset -- an administrator may have been able to grow the pool on a node restricted by a containing cpuset, but they cannot shrink it there. There are two options: either prevent growing of the pool outside of the cpuset or allow shrinking outside of the cpuset. >From previous discussions on linux-mm, /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages is an administrative interface that should not be restricted by cpusets. So allow shrinking the pool by removing pages from nodes outside of current's cpuset.

ac09b3a Adam Litke 04 March 2008, 22:29:38 UTC hugetlb: close a difficult to trigger reservation race A hugetlb reservation may be inadequately backed in the event of racing allocations and frees when utilizing surplus huge pages. Consider the following series of events in processes A and B: A) Allocates some surplus pages to satisfy a reservation B) Frees some huge pages A) A notices the extra free pages and drops hugetlb_lock to free some of its surplus pages back to the buddy allocator. B) Allocates some huge pages A) Reacquires hugetlb_lock and returns from gather_surplus_huge_pages() Avoid this by commiting the reservation after pages have been allocated but before dropping the lock to free excess pages. For parity, release the reservation in return_unused_surplus_pages(). This patch also corrects the cpuset_mems_nr() error path in hugetlb_acct_memory(). If the cpuset check fails, uncommit the reservation, but also be sure to return any surplus huge pages that may have been allocated to back the failed reservation.

a07e6ab K.Tanaka 04 March 2008, 22:29:37 UTC md: the md RAID10 resync thread could cause a md RAID10 array deadlock This message describes another issue about md RAID10 found by testing the 2.6.24 md RAID10 using new scsi fault injection framework. Abstract: When a scsi error results in disabling a disk during RAID10 recovery, the resync threads of md RAID10 could stall. This case, the raid array has already been broken and it may not matter. But I think stall is not preferable. If it occurs, even shutdown or reboot will fail because of resource busy. The deadlock mechanism: The r10bio_s structure has a "remaining" member to keep track of BIOs yet to be handled when recovering. The "remaining" counter is incremented when building a BIO in sync_request() and is decremented when finish a BIO in end_sync_write(). If building a BIO fails for some reasons in sync_request(), the "remaining" should be decremented if it has already been incremented. I found a case where this decrement is forgotten. This causes a md_do_sync() deadlock because md_do_sync() waits for md_done_sync() called by end_sync_write(), but end_sync_write() never calls md_done_sync() because of the "remaining" counter mismatch. For example, this problem would be reproduced in the following case: Personalities : [raid10] md0 : active raid10 sdf1[4] sde1[5](F) sdd1[2] sdc1[1] sdb1[6](F) 3919616 blocks 64K chunks 2 near-copies [4/2] [_UU_] [>....................] recovery = 2.2% (45376/1959808) finish=0.7min speed=45376K/sec This case, sdf1 is recovering, sdb1 and sde1 are disabled. An additional error with detaching sdd will cause a deadlock. md0 : active raid10 sdf1[4] sde1[5](F) sdd1[6](F) sdc1[1] sdb1[7](F) 3919616 blocks 64K chunks 2 near-copies [4/1] [_U__] [=>...................] recovery = 5.0% (99520/1959808) finish=5.9min speed=5237K/sec 2739 ?

If a read request returns an error while a resync is happening and a resync request is pending, the attempt to fix the error will block until the resync progresses, and the resync will block until the read request completes. Thus a deadlock. This patch fixes the problem.

8ed3a19 Keld Simonsen 04 March 2008, 22:29:34 UTC md: don't attempt read-balancing for raid10 'far' layouts This patch changes the disk to be read for layout "far > 1" to always be the disk with the lowest block address. Thus the chunks to be read will always be (for a fully functioning array) from the first band of stripes, and the raid will then work as a raid0 consisting of the first band of stripes. Some advantages: The fastest part which is the outer sectors of the disks involved will be used. The outer blocks of a disk may be as much as 100 % faster than the inner blocks. Average seek time will be smaller, as seeks will always be confined to the first part of the disks. Mixed disks with different performance characteristics will work better, as they will work as raid0, the sequential read rate will be number of disks involved times the IO rate of the slowest disk. If a disk is malfunctioning, the first disk which is working, and has the lowest block address for the logical block will be used.

27c529b NeilBrown 04 March 2008, 22:29:33 UTC md: lock access to rdev attributes properly When we access attributes of an rdev (component device on an md array) through sysfs, we really need to lock the array against concurrent changes. We currently do that when we change an attribute, but not when we read an attribute. We need to lock when reading as well else rdev->mddev could become NULL while we are accessing it. So add appropriate locking (mddev_lock) to rdev_attr_show. rdev_size_store requires some extra care as well as it needs to unlock the mddev while scanning other mddevs for overlapping regions. We currently assume that rdev->mddev will still be unchanged after the scan, but that cannot be certain. So take a copy of rdev->mddev for use at the end of the function.

2515619 NeilBrown 04 March 2008, 22:29:32 UTC md: make sure a reshape is started when device switches to read-write A resync/reshape/recovery thread will refuse to progress when the array is marked read-only. So whenever it mark it not read-only, it is important to wake up thread resync thread. There is one place we didn't do this. The problem manifests if the start_ro module parameters is set, and a raid5 array that is in the middle of a reshape (restripe) is started. The array will initially be semi-read-only (meaning it acts like it is readonly until the first write). So the reshape will not proceed. On the first write, the array will become read-write, but the reshape will not be started, and there is no event which will ever restart that thread.

a35e63e NeilBrown 04 March 2008, 22:29:29 UTC md: fix deadlock in md/raid1 and md/raid10 when handling a read error When handling a read error, we freeze the array to stop any other IO while attempting to over-write with correct data. This is done in the raid1d(raid10d) thread and must wait for all submitted IO to complete (except for requests that failed and are sitting in the retry queue - these are counted in ->nr_queue and will stay there during a freeze). However write requests need attention from raid1d as bitmap updates might be required. This can cause a deadlock as raid1 is waiting for requests to finish that themselves need attention from raid1d. So we create a new function 'flush_pending_writes' to give that attention, and call it in freeze_array to be sure that we aren't waiting on raid1d.

fb59e9f Hugh Dickins 04 March 2008, 22:29:16 UTC memcg: fix oops on NULL lru list While testing force_empty, during an exit_mmap, __mem_cgroup_remove_list called from mem_cgroup_uncharge_page oopsed on a NULL pointer in the lru list. I couldn't see what racing tasks on other cpus were doing, but surmise that another must have been in mem_cgroup_charge_common on the same page, between its unlock_page_cgroup and spin_lock_irqsave near done (thanks to that kzalloc which I'd almost changed to a kmalloc). Normally such a race cannot happen, the ref_cnt prevents it, the final uncharge cannot race with the initial charge. But force_empty buggers the ref_cnt, that's what it's all about; and thereafter forced pages are vulnerable to races such as this (just think of a shared page also mapped into an mm of another mem_cgroup than that just emptied). And remain vulnerable until they're freed indefinitely later. This patch just fixes the oops by moving the unlock_page_cgroups down below adding to and removing from the list (only possible given the previous patch); and while we're at it, we might as well make it an invariant that page->page_cgroup is always set while pc is on lru. But this behaviour of force_empty seems highly unsatisfactory to me: why have a ref_cnt if we always have to cope with it being violated (as in the earlier page migration patch). We may prefer force_empty to move pages to an orphan mem_cgroup (could be the root, but better not), from which other cgroups could recover them; we might need to reverse the locking again; but no time now for such concerns.

9b3c0a0 Hirokazu Takahashi 04 March 2008, 22:29:15 UTC memcg: simplify force_empty and move_lists As for force_empty, though this may not be the main topic here, mem_cgroup_force_empty_list() can be implemented simpler. It is possible to make the function just call mem_cgroup_uncharge_page() instead of releasing page_cgroups by itself. The tip is to call get_page() before invoking mem_cgroup_uncharge_page(), so the page won't be released during this function. Kamezawa-san points out that by the time mem_cgroup_uncharge_page() uncharges, the page might have been reassigned to an lru of a different mem_cgroup, and now be emptied from that; but Hugh claims that's okay, the end state is the same as when it hasn't gone to another list. And once force_empty stops taking lock_page_cgroup within mz->lru_lock, mem_cgroup_move_lists() can be simplified to take mz->lru_lock directly while holding page_cgroup lock (but still has to use try_lock_page_cgroup).

2680eed Hugh Dickins 04 March 2008, 22:29:13 UTC memcg: fix mem_cgroup_move_lists locking Ever since the VM_BUG_ON(page_get_page_cgroup(page)) (now Bad page state) went into page freeing, I've hit it from time to time in testing on some machines, sometimes only after many days. Recently found a machine which could usually produce it within a few hours, which got me there at last. The culprit is mem_cgroup_move_lists, whose locking is inadequate; and the arrangement of structures was such that you got page_cgroups from the lru list neatly put on to SLUB's freelist. Kamezawa-san identified the same hole independently. The main problem was that it was missing the lock_page_cgroup it needs to safely page_get_page_cgroup; but it's tricky to go beyond that too, and I couldn't do it with SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU as I'd expected. See the code for comments on the constraints. This patch immediately gets replaced by a simpler one from Hirokazu-san; but is it just foolish pride that tells me to put this one on record, in case we need to come back to it later?

Never seen it, and for all I know there may be other constraints which make it impossible; but let's be defensive and reverse the ordering there. mem_cgroup_force_empty_list is safe because there's an extra css_get around all its works; but even so, change its ordering the same way round, to help get in the habit of doing it like this.

I'm not sure). Once that's gone, you can see it's pointless for page_cgroup's ref_cnt to be atomic: it's always manipulated under lock_page_cgroup, except where force_empty unilaterally reset it to 0 (and how does uncharge's atomic_dec_and_test protect against that?). Simplify this page_cgroup locking: if you've got the lock and the pc is attached, then the ref_cnt must be positive: VM_BUG_ONs to check that, and to check that pc->page matches page (we're on the way to finding why sometimes it doesn't, but this patch doesn't fix that).

It seemed convenient at the time, but hard to justify now: there's a perfectly appropriate swappage to charge and uncharge instead, this is not on any hot path through shmem_getpage, and no performance hit was observed from the slight extra overhead.

Don't use page_assign_page_cgroup to clear it: that should be private to memcontrol.c, and always called with the lock taken; and memmap_init_zone doesn't need it either - like page->mapping and other pointers throughout the kernel, Linux assumes pointers in zeroed structures are NULL pointers.

That left a surplus reference count on the page_cgroup, so it was still attached when the page was later freed. Move that mem_cgroup_charge down to where we're sure it's a migration entry. We were already under i_mmap_lock or anon_vma->lock, so its GFP_KERNEL was already inappropriate: change that to GFP_ATOMIC. It's essential that remove_migration_pte removes all the migration entries, other crashes follow if not. So proceed even when the charge fails: normally it cannot, but after a mem_cgroup_force_empty it might - comment in the code.

This is due to the use of the construct: *((long*)dst)++ = lc; Which isn't legal since casts don't return an lvalue. The solution is to import the implementation from newlib, which is continually autotested together with GCC mainline, and uses the construct: *(long *) dst = lc; dst += 4; Since this is an import of a file from newlib, I'm not touching the formatting or correcting any checkpatch errors. As for the earlier fix for memset.c, even if the two files for CRIS v10 and CRIS v32 are identical at the moment, it might be possible to tweak the CRIS v32 version. Thus, I'm not yet folding them into the same file, at least not until we've done some research on it.

fedbb36 Ville Syrjala 04 March 2008, 22:28:47 UTC sm501fb: RGB offsets are reversed in 16bpp modes The RGB offsets were reversed in 16bpp modes. Simply trying to reverse the offsets when endianness differs is clearly the wrong thing to do but that is an issue for another patch.
