| 8e125cd | Minchan Kim | 31 July 2012, 23:43:16 UTC | vmscan: remove obsolete shrink_control comment 09f363c7 ("vmscan: fix shrinker callback bug in fs/super.c") fixed a shrinker callback which was returning -1 when nr_to_scan is zero, which caused excessive slab scanning. But 635697c6 ("vmscan: fix initial shrinker size handling") fixed the problem, again so we can freely return -1 although nr_to_scan is zero. So let's revert 09f363c7 because the comment added in 09f363c7 made an unnecessary rule.

| 7db8889 | Rik van Riel | 31 July 2012, 23:43:12 UTC | mm: have order > 0 compaction start off where it left Order > 0 compaction stops when enough free pages of the correct page order have been coalesced. When doing subsequent higher order allocations, it is possible for compaction to be invoked many times. However, the compaction code always starts out looking for things to compact at the start of the zone, and for free pages to compact things to at the end of the zone. This can cause quadratic behaviour, with isolate_freepages starting at the end of the zone each time, even though previous invocations of the compaction code already filled up all free memory on that end of the zone. This can cause isolate_freepages to take enormous amounts of CPU with certain workloads on larger memory systems. The obvious solution is to have isolate_freepages remember where it left off last time, and continue at that point the next time it gets invoked for an order > 0 compaction. This could cause compaction to fail if cc->free_pfn and cc->migrate_pfn are close together initially, in that case we restart from the end of the zone and try once more. Forced full (order == -1) compactions are left alone.

| 567fb43 | Glauber Costa | 31 July 2012, 23:43:07 UTC | memcg: fix bad behavior in use_hierarchy file I have an application that does the following: * copy the state of all controllers attached to a hierarchy * replicate it as a child of the current level. I would expect writes to the files to mostly succeed, since they are inheriting sane values from parents. But that is not the case for use_hierarchy. If it is set to 0, we succeed ok. If we're set to 1, the value of the file is automatically set to 1 in the children, but if userspace tries to write the very same 1, it will fail. That same situation happens if we set use_hierarchy, create a child, and then try to write 1 again. Now, there is no reason whatsoever for failing to write a value that is already there. It doesn't even match the comments, that states: /* If parent's use_hierarchy is set, we can't make any modifications * in the child subtrees... since we are not changing anything. So test the new value against the one we're storing, and automatically return 0 if we're not proposing a change.

It's possible that current was killed because it shares memory with the oom killed thread or because it was killed by the user in the interim, however. This patch only schedules away from current if it does not have a pending kill, i.e. if it does not share memory with the oom killed thread. It's possible that it will immediately retry its memory allocation and fail, but it will immediately be given access to memory reserves if it calls the oom killer again. This prevents the delay of memory freeing when threads that share memory with the oom killed thread get unnecessarily scheduled.

| 47d3834 | Aneesh Kumar K.V | 31 July 2012, 23:41:54 UTC | hugetlb: rename max_hstate to hugetlb_max_hstate This patchset implements a cgroup resource controller for HugeTLB pages. The controller allows to limit the HugeTLB usage per control group and enforces the controller limit during page fault. Since HugeTLB doesn't support page reclaim, enforcing the limit at page fault time implies that, the application will get SIGBUS signal if it tries to access HugeTLB pages beyond its limit. This requires the application to know beforehand how much HugeTLB pages it would require for its use. The goal is to control how many HugeTLB pages a group of task can allocate. It can be looked at as an extension of the existing quota interface which limits the number of HugeTLB pages per hugetlbfs superblock. HPC job scheduler requires jobs to specify their resource requirements in the job file. Once their requirements can be met, job schedulers like (SLURM) will schedule the job. We need to make sure that the jobs won't consume more resources than requested. If they do we should either error out or kill the application. This patch: Rename max_hstate to hugetlb_max_hstate. We will be using this from other subsystems like hugetlb controller in later patches.

| 3fb5c29 | Christian Ehrhardt | 31 July 2012, 23:41:44 UTC | swap: allow swap readahead to be merged Swap readahead works fine, but the I/O to disk is almost always done in page size requests, despite the fact that readahead submits 1<<page-cluster pages at a time. On older kernels the old per device plugging behavior might have captured this and merged the requests, but currently all comes down to much more I/Os than required. On a single device this might not be an issue, but as soon as a server runs on shared san resources savin I/Os not only improves swapin throughput but also provides a lower resource utilization. With a load running KVM in a lot of memory overcommitment (the hot memory is 1.5 times the host memory) swapping throughput improves significantly and the lead feels more responsive as well as achieves more throughput. In a test setup with 16 swap disks running blocktrace on one of those disks shows the improved merging: Prior: Reads Queued: 560,888, 2,243MiB Writes Queued: 226,242, 904,968KiB Read Dispatches: 544,701, 2,243MiB Write Dispatches: 159,318, 904,968KiB Reads Requeued: 0 Writes Requeued: 0 Reads Completed: 544,716, 2,243MiB Writes Completed: 159,321, 904,980KiB Read Merges: 16,187, 64,748KiB Write Merges: 61,744, 246,976KiB IO unplugs: 149,614 Timer unplugs: 2,940 With the patch: Reads Queued: 734,315, 2,937MiB Writes Queued: 300,188, 1,200MiB Read Dispatches: 214,972, 2,937MiB Write Dispatches: 215,176, 1,200MiB Reads Requeued: 0 Writes Requeued: 0 Reads Completed: 214,971, 2,937MiB Writes Completed: 215,177, 1,200MiB Read Merges: 519,343, 2,077MiB Write Merges: 73,325, 293,300KiB IO unplugs: 337,130 Timer unplugs: 11,184 I got ~10% to ~40% more throughput in my cases and at the same time much lower cpu consumption when broken down per transferred kilobyte (the majority of that due to saved interrupts and better cache handling).

We isolated the cause to code in __sg_alloc_table that was re-writing the gfp_flags. There is a comment in the code that suggest that there is an assumption about the allocation coming from a memory pool. This was likely true when sg lists were primarily used for disk I/O.

It is useful to test the error handling of notifier call chain failures. This adds common basic functions to define which type of events can be fail and to initialize the debugfs interface to control what error code should be returned and which event should be failed.

| 65fed8f | Octavian Purdila | 30 July 2012, 21:42:58 UTC | resource: make sure requested range is included in the root range When the requested range is outside of the root range the logic in __reserve_region_with_split will cause an infinite recursion which will overflow the stack as seen in the warning bellow. This particular stack overflow was caused by requesting the (100000000-107ffffff) range while the root range was (0-ffffffff). In this case __request_resource would return the whole root range as conflict range (i.e. 0-ffffffff). Then, the logic in __reserve_region_with_split would continue the recursion requesting the new range as (conflict->end+1, end) which incidentally in this case equals the originally requested range. This patch aborts looking for an usable range when the request does not intersect with the root range. When the request partially overlaps with the root range, it ajust the request to fall in the root range and then continues with the new request. When the request is modified or aborted errors and a stack trace are logged to allow catching the errors in the upper layers.

POSIX states that values of msgsz greater than SSIZE_MAX cause the result to be implementation-defined. On Linux, this equates to returning -EINVAL if (long) msgsz < 0. For compat tasks where !CONFIG_ARCH_WANT_OLD_COMPAT_IPC and compat_size_t is smaller than size_t, negative size values passed from userspace will be interpreted as positive values by do_msg{rcv,snd} and will fail to exit early with -EINVAL. This patch changes the compat prototypes for msg{rcv,snd} so that the message size is represented as a compat_ssize_t, which we cast to the native ssize_t type for the core IPC code.

| b610c04 | Will Deacon | 30 July 2012, 21:42:40 UTC | ipc: allow compat IPC version field parsing if !ARCH_WANT_OLD_COMPAT_IPC Commit 48b25c43e6ee ("ipc: provide generic compat versions of IPC syscalls") added a new ARCH_WANT_OLD_COMPAT_IPC config option for architectures to select if their compat target requires the old IPC syscall interface. For architectures (such as AArch64) that do not require the internal calling conventions provided by this option, but have a compat target where the C library passes the IPC_64 flag explicitly, compat_ipc_parse_version no longer strips out the flag before calling the native system call implementation, resulting in unknown SHM/IPC commands and -EINVAL being returned to userspace. This patch separates the selection of the internal calling conventions for the IPC syscalls from the version parsing, allowing architectures to select __ARCH_WANT_COMPAT_IPC_PARSE_VERSION if they want to use version parsing whilst retaining the newer syscall calling conventions.

| f19b9f7 | Akinobu Mita | 30 July 2012, 21:42:33 UTC | fork: fix error handling in dup_task() The function dup_task() may fail at the following function calls in the following order. 0) alloc_task_struct_node() 1) alloc_thread_info_node() 2) arch_dup_task_struct() Error by 0) is not a matter, it can just return. But error by 1) requires releasing task_struct allocated by 0) before it returns. Likewise, error by 2) requires releasing task_struct and thread_info allocated by 0) and 1). The existing error handling calls free_task_struct() and free_thread_info() which do not only release task_struct and thread_info, but also call architecture specific arch_release_task_struct() and arch_release_thread_info(). The problem is that task_struct and thread_info are not fully initialized yet at this point, but arch_release_task_struct() and arch_release_thread_info() are called with them. For example, x86 defines its own arch_release_task_struct() that releases a task_xstate. If alloc_thread_info_node() fails in dup_task(), arch_release_task_struct() is called with task_struct which is just allocated and filled with garbage in this error handling. This actually happened with tools/testing/fault-injection/failcmd.sh # env FAILCMD_TYPE=fail_page_alloc \ ./tools/testing/fault-injection/failcmd.sh --times=100 \ --min-order=0 --ignore-gfp-wait=0 \ -- make -C tools/testing/selftests/ run_tests In order to fix this issue, make free_{task_struct,thread_info}() not to call arch_release_{task_struct,thread_info}() and call arch_release_{task_struct,thread_info}() implicitly where needed. Default arch_release_task_struct() and arch_release_thread_info() are defined as empty by default. So this change only affects the architectures which implement their own arch_release_task_struct() or arch_release_thread_info() as listed below. arch_release_task_struct(): x86, sh arch_release_thread_info(): mn10300, tile Signed-off-by: Akinobu Mita <akinobu.mita@gmail.com> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com> Cc: "H.

| e8905ec | Djalal Harouni | 30 July 2012, 21:42:26 UTC | proc: environ_read() make sure offset points to environment address range Currently the following offset and environment address range check in environ_read() of /proc/<pid>/environ is buggy: int this_len = mm->env_end - (mm->env_start + src); if (this_len <= 0) break; Large or negative offsets on /proc/<pid>/environ converted to 'unsigned long' may pass this check since '(mm->env_start + src)' can overflow and 'this_len' will be positive. This can turn /proc/<pid>/environ to act like /proc/<pid>/mem since (mm->env_start + src) will point and read from another VMA. There are two fixes here plus some code cleaning: 1) Fix the overflow by checking if the offset that was converted to unsigned long will always point to the [mm->env_start, mm->env_end] address range. 2) Remove the truncation that was made to the result of the check, storing the result in 'int this_len' will alter its value and we can not depend on it. For kernels that have commit b409e578d ("proc: clean up /proc/<pid>/environ handling") which adds the appropriate ptrace check and saves the 'mm' at ->open() time, this is not a security issue.

| 0f20784 | Tetsuo Handa | 30 July 2012, 21:42:20 UTC | kmod: avoid deadlock from recursive kmod call The system deadlocks (at least since 2.6.10) when call_usermodehelper(UMH_WAIT_EXEC) request triggers call_usermodehelper(UMH_WAIT_PROC) request. This is because "khelper thread is waiting for the worker thread at wait_for_completion() in do_fork() since the worker thread was created with CLONE_VFORK flag" and "the worker thread cannot call complete() because do_execve() is blocked at UMH_WAIT_PROC request" and "the khelper thread cannot start processing UMH_WAIT_PROC request because the khelper thread is waiting for the worker thread at wait_for_completion() in do_fork()". The easiest example to observe this deadlock is to use a corrupted /sbin/hotplug binary (like shown below). # : > /tmp/dummy # chmod 755 /tmp/dummy # echo /tmp/dummy > /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug # modprobe whatever call_usermodehelper("/tmp/dummy", UMH_WAIT_EXEC) is called from kobject_uevent_env() in lib/kobject_uevent.c upon loading/unloading a module. do_execve("/tmp/dummy") triggers a call to request_module("binfmt-0000") from search_binary_handler() which in turn calls call_usermodehelper(UMH_WAIT_PROC). In order to avoid deadlock, as a for-now and easy-to-backport solution, do not try to call wait_for_completion() in call_usermodehelper_exec() if the worker thread was created by khelper thread with CLONE_VFORK flag. Future and fundamental solution might be replacing singleton khelper thread with some workqueue so that recursive calls up to max_active dependency loop can be handled without deadlock.

This deadlock is 100% reproducible. This is because nilfs_ioctl_change_cpmode() first locks sb->s_umount in read mode and then waits for unfreezing in nilfs_transaction_begin(), whereas thaw_super() locks sb->s_umount in write mode. The locking of sb->s_umount here was intended to make snapshot mounts and the downgrade of snapshots to checkpoints exclusive. This fixes the deadlock issue by replacing the sb->s_umount usage in nilfs_ioctl_change_cpmode() with a dedicated mutex which protects snapshot mounts.

| fe0627e | Ryusuke Konishi | 30 July 2012, 21:42:05 UTC | nilfs2: fix timing issue between rmcp and chcp ioctls The checkpoint deletion ioctl (rmcp ioctl) has potential for breaking snapshot because it is not fully exclusive with checkpoint mode change ioctl (chcp ioctl). The rmcp ioctl first tests if the specified checkpoint is a snapshot or not within nilfs_cpfile_delete_checkpoint function, and then calls nilfs_cpfile_delete_checkpoints function to actually invalidate the checkpoint only if it's not a snapshot. However, the checkpoint can be changed into a snapshot by the chcp ioctl between these two operations. In that case, calling nilfs_cpfile_delete_checkpoints() wrongly invalidates the snapshot, which leads to snapshot list corruption and snapshot count mismatch. This fixes the issue by changing nilfs_cpfile_delete_checkpoints() so that it reconfirms the target checkpoints are snapshot or not. This second check is exclusive with the chcp operation since it is protected by an existing semaphore.
