abb5a5c Paul Jackson 23 July 2006, 18:36:08 UTC [PATCH] Cpuset: fix ABBA deadlock with cpu hotplug lock Fix ABBA deadlock between lock_cpu_hotplug() and the cpuset callback_mutex lock. It only happens on cpu_exclusive cpusets, due to the dynamic sched domain code trying to take the cpu hotplug lock inside the cpuset callback_mutex lock. This bug has apparently been here for several months, but didn't get hit until the right customer load on a large system. This fix appears right from inspection, but it will take a few more days running it on that customers workload to be confident we nailed it. We don't have any other reproducible test case. The cpu_hotplug_lock() tends to cover large runs of code. The other places that hold both that lock and the cpuset callback mutex lock always nest the cpuset lock inside the hotplug lock. This place tries to do the reverse, risking an ABBA deadlock. This is in the cpuset_rmdir() code, where we: * take the callback_mutex lock * mark the cpuset CS_REMOVED * call update_cpu_domains for cpu_exclusive cpusets * in that call, take the cpu_hotplug lock if the cpuset is marked for removal. Thanks to Jack Steiner for identifying this deadlock. The fix is to tear down the dynamic sched domain before we grab the cpuset callback_mutex lock. This way, the two locks are serialized, with the hotplug lock taken and released before trying for the cpuset lock. I suspect that this bug was introduced when I changed the cpuset locking from one lock to two. The dynamic sched domain dependency on cpu_exclusive cpusets and its hotplug hooks were added to this code earlier, when cpusets had only a single lock. It may well have been fine then.

aa95387 Linus Torvalds 23 July 2006, 19:12:16 UTC cpu hotplug: simplify and hopefully fix locking The CPU hotplug locking was quite messy, with a recursive lock to handle the fact that both the actual up/down sequence wanted to protect itself from being re-entered, but the callbacks that it called also tended to want to protect themselves from CPU events. This splits the lock into two (one to serialize the whole hotplug sequence, the other to protect against the CPU present bitmaps changing). The latter still allows recursive usage because some subsystems (ondemand policy for cpufreq at least) had already gotten too used to the lax locking, but the locking mistakes are hopefully now less fundamental, and we now warn about recursive lock usage when we see it, in the hope that it can be fixed.

Make this distinction clear. * Unlike other EH actions, reset actions are represented by two EH action masks and a EHI modifier. Implement correct about_to_do/done semantics for resets. That is, prior to reset, related EH info is sucked in from ehi and cleared, and after reset is complete, related EH info in ehc is cleared. These changes improve consistency and remove unnecessary EH actions caused by stale EH action masks and EHI flags.

This broke action mask clearing on SENSE_VALID case causing revalidation and EH complete message on successful ATAPI CC. This patch removes two local variables - action and failed_dev - which cache ehc->i.action and ehc->i.dev respectively, and make the function directly modify ehc->i.* fields to remove aliasing issues.

In particular, these overzealous register writes can cause misdetection problems. Update to do the following once (not once per port) at boot: read 16-bit PCS if needs changing, write 16-bit PCS And thereafter, we only perform a 'read 16-bit PCS' per port.

bb12999 Shailabh Nagar 14 July 2006, 07:24:47 UTC [PATCH] Remove down_write() from taskstats code invoked on the exit() path In send_cpu_listeners(), which is called on the exit path, a down_write() was protecting operations like skb_clone() and genlmsg_unicast() that do GFP_KERNEL allocations. If the oom-killer decides to kill tasks to satisfy the allocations,the exit of those tasks could block on the same semphore. The down_write() was only needed to allow removal of invalid listeners from the listener list. The patch converts the down_write to a down_read and defers the removal to a separate critical region. This ensures that even if the oom-killer is called, no other task's exit is blocked as it can still acquire another down_read. Thanks to Andrew Morton & Herbert Xu for pointing out the oom related pitfalls, and to Chandra Seetharaman for suggesting this fix instead of using something more complex like RCU.

f9fd891 Shailabh Nagar 14 July 2006, 07:24:47 UTC [PATCH] per-task delay accounting taskstats interface: control exit data through cpumasks On systems with a large number of cpus, with even a modest rate of tasks exiting per cpu, the volume of taskstats data sent on thread exit can overflow a userspace listener's buffers. One approach to avoiding overflow is to allow listeners to get data for a limited and specific set of cpus. By scaling the number of listeners and/or the cpus they monitor, userspace can handle the statistical data overload more gracefully. In this patch, each listener registers to listen to a specific set of cpus by specifying a cpumask. The interest is recorded per-cpu. When a task exits on a cpu, its taskstats data is unicast to each listener interested in that cpu. Thanks to Andrew Morton for pointing out the various scalability and general concerns of previous attempts and for suggesting this design.

Currently the taskstats interface allocates a structure, fills it in and calls netlink to send out per-pid and per-tgid stats regardless of whether a userspace listener for the data exists (netlink layer would check for that and avoid the multicast). As a result of this patch, the check for the no-listener case is performed early, avoiding the redundant allocation and filling up of the taskstats structures.

ad4ecbc Shailabh Nagar 14 July 2006, 07:24:44 UTC [PATCH] delay accounting taskstats interface send tgid once Send per-tgid data only once during exit of a thread group instead of once with each member thread exit. Currently, when a thread exits, besides its per-tid data, the per-tgid data of its thread group is also sent out, if its thread group is non-empty. The per-tgid data sent consists of the sum of per-tid stats for all *remaining* threads of the thread group. This patch modifies this sending in two ways: - the per-tgid data is sent only when the last thread of a thread group exits. This cuts down heavily on the overhead of sending/receiving per-tgid data, especially when other exploiters of the taskstats interface aren't interested in per-tgid stats - the semantics of the per-tgid data sent are changed. Instead of being the sum of per-tid data for remaining threads, the value now sent is the true total accumalated statistics for all threads that are/were part of the thread group. The patch also addresses a minor issue where failure of one accounting subsystem to fill in the taskstats structure was causing the send of taskstats to not be sent at all. The patch has been tested for stability and run cerberus for over 4 hours on an SMP.

ca74e92 Shailabh Nagar 14 July 2006, 07:24:36 UTC [PATCH] per-task-delay-accounting: setup Initialization code related to collection of per-task "delay" statistics which measure how long it had to wait for cpu, sync block io, swapping etc. The collection of statistics and the interface are in other patches. This patch sets up the data structures and allows the statistics collection to be disabled through a kernel boot parameter.

b04ea3c Eric Paris 14 July 2006, 07:24:33 UTC [PATCH] Fix security check for joint context= and fscontext= mount options After some discussion on the actual meaning of the filesystem class security check in try context mount it was determined that the checks for the context= mount options were not correct if fscontext mount option had already been used. When labeling the superblock we should be checking relabel_from and relabel_to. But if the superblock has already been labeled (with fscontext) then context= is actually labeling the inodes, and so we should be checking relabel_from and associate. This patch fixes which checks are called depending on the mount options.
