      drbd: fix potential protocol error and resulting disconnect/reconnect · 2681f7f6
      Lars Ellenberg authored
      When we notice a disk failure on the receiving side,
      we stop sending it new incoming writes.
      
      Depending on exact timing of various events, the same transfer log epoch
      could end up containing both replicated (before we noticed the failure)
      and local-only requests (after we noticed the failure).
      
      The sanity checks in tl_release(), called when receiving a
      P_BARRIER_ACK, check that the ack'ed transfer log epoch matches
      the expected epoch, and the number of contained writes matches
      the number of ack'ed writes.
      
      In this case, they counted both replicated and local-only writes,
      but the peer only acknowledges those it has seen.  We get a mismatch,
      resulting in a protocol error and disconnect/reconnect cycle.
      
      Messages logged are
        "BAD! BarrierAck #%u received with n_writes=%u, expected n_writes=%u!\n"
      
      A similar issue can also be triggered when starting a resync while
      having a healthy replication link, by invalidating one side, forcing a
      full sync, or attaching to a diskless node.
      
      Fix this by closing the current epoch if the state changes in a way
      that would cause the replication intent of the next write.
      
      Epochs now contain either only non-replicated,
      or only replicated writes.

      block: prevent race/cleanup · 12c2bdb2
      Derek Basehore authored
      Remove a race condition which causes a warning in disk_clear_events.  This
      is a race between disk_clear_events() and disk_flush_events().
      ev->clearing will be altered by disk_flush_events() even though we are
      blocking event checking through disk_flush_events().  If this happens
      after ev->clearing was cleared for disk_clear_events(), this can cause the
      WARN_ON_ONCE() in that function to be triggered.
      
      This change also has disk_clear_events() not go through a workqueue.
      Since we have to wait for the work to complete, we should just call the
      function directly.  Also, since this work cannot be put on a freezable
      workqueue, it will have to contend with increased demand, so calling the
      function directly avoids this.

      block: remove deadlock in disk_clear_events · aea24a8b
      Derek Basehore authored
      In disk_clear_events, do not put work on system_nrt_freezable_wq.
      Instead, put it on system_nrt_wq.
      
      There is a race between probing a usb and suspending the device.  Since
      probing a usb calls disk_clear_events, which puts work on a frozen
      workqueue, probing cannot finish after the workqueue is frozen.  However,
      suspending cannot finish until the usb probe is finished, so we get a
      deadlock, causing the system to reboot.
      
      The way to reproduce this bug is to wake up from suspend with a usb
      storage device plugged in, or plugging in a usb storage device right
      before suspend.  The window of time is on the order of time it takes to
      probe the usb device.  As long as the workqueues are frozen before the
      call to add_disk within sd_probe_async finishes, there will be a deadlock
      (which calls blkdev_get, sd_open, check_disk_change, then
      disk_clear_events).  This is not difficult to reproduce after figuring out
      the timings.

      blk: avoid divide-by-zero with zero discard granularity · 59771079
      Linus Torvalds authored
      Commit 8dd2cb7e ("block: discard granularity might not be power of
      2") changed a couple of 'binary and' operations into modulus operations.
      Which turned the harmless case of a zero discard_granularity into a
      possible divide-by-zero.
      
      The code also had a much more subtle bug: it was doing the modulus of a
      value in bytes using 'sector_t'.  That was always conceptually wrong,
      but didn't actually matter back when the code assumed a power-of-two
      granularity: we only looked at the low bits anyway.
      
      But with potentially arbitrary sector numbers, using a 'sector_t' to
      express bytes is very very wrong: depending on configuration it limits
      the starting offset of the device to just 32 bits, and any overflow
      would result in a wrong value if the modulus wasn't a power-of-two.
      
      So re-write the code to not only protect against the divide-by-zero, but
      to do the starting sector arithmetic in sectors, and using the proper
      types.
      
      [ For any mathematicians out there: it also looks monumentally stupid to
        do the 'modulo granularity' operation *twice*, never mind having a "+
        granularity" in the second modulus op.
      
        But that's the easiest way to avoid negative values or overflow, and
        it is how the original code was done. ]

      mm/vmscan.c: avoid possible deadlock caused by too_many_isolated() · 3cf23841
      Fengguang Wu authored
      Neil found that if too_many_isolated() returns true while performing
      direct reclaim we can end up waiting for other threads to complete their
      direct reclaim.  If those threads are allowed to enter the FS or IO to
      free memory, but this thread is not, then it is possible that those
      threads will be waiting on this thread and so we get a circular deadlock.
      
      some task enters direct reclaim with GFP_KERNEL
        => too_many_isolated() false
          => vmscan and run into dirty pages
            => pageout()
              => take some FS lock
                => fs/block code does GFP_NOIO allocation
                  => enter direct reclaim again
                    => too_many_isolated() true
                      => waiting for others to progress, however the other
                         tasks may be circular waiting for the FS lock..
      
      The fix is to let !__GFP_IO and !__GFP_FS direct reclaims enjoy higher
      priority than normal ones, by lowering the throttle threshold for the
      latter.
      
      Allowing ~1/8 isolated pages in normal is large enough.  For example, for
      a 1GB LRU list, that's ~128MB isolated pages, or 1k blocked tasks (each
      isolates 32 4KB pages), or 64 blocked tasks per logical CPU (assuming 16
      logical CPUs per NUMA node).  So it's not likely some CPU goes idle
      waiting (when it could make progress) because of this limit: there are
      much more sleeping reclaim tasks than the number of CPU, so the task may
      well be blocked by some low level queue/lock anyway.
      
      Now !GFP_IOFS reclaims won't be waiting for GFP_IOFS reclaims to progress.
       They will be blocked only when there are too many concurrent !GFP_IOFS
      reclaims, however that's very unlikely because the IO-less direct reclaims
      is able to progress much more faster, and they won't deadlock each other.
      The threshold is raised high enough for them, so that there can be
      sufficient parallel progress of !GFP_IOFS reclaims.

      mm/hugetlb: create hugetlb cgroup file in hugetlb_init · 7179e7bf
      Jianguo Wu authored
      Build kernel with CONFIG_HUGETLBFS=y,CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE=y and
      CONFIG_CGROUP_HUGETLB=y, then specify hugepagesz=xx boot option, system
      will fail to boot.
      
      This failure is caused by following code path:
      
        setup_hugepagesz
          hugetlb_add_hstate
            hugetlb_cgroup_file_init

                kzalloc <--slab is *not available* yet
      
      For this path, slab is not available yet, so memory allocated will be
      failed, and cause WARN_ON() in hugetlb_cgroup_file_init().
      
      So I move hugetlb_cgroup_file_init() into hugetlb_init().

      slub: drop mutex before deleting sysfs entry · 5413dfba
      Glauber Costa authored
      Sasha Levin recently reported a lockdep problem resulting from the new
      attribute propagation introduced by kmemcg series.  In short, slab_mutex
      will be called from within the sysfs attribute store function.  This will
      create a dependency, that will later be held backwards when a cache is
      destroyed - since destruction occurs with the slab_mutex held, and then
      calls in to the sysfs directory removal function.
      
      In this patch, I propose to adopt a strategy close to what
      __kmem_cache_create does before calling sysfs_slab_add, and release the
      lock before the call to sysfs_slab_remove.  This is pretty much the last
      operation in the kmem_cache_shutdown() path, so we could do better by
      splitting this and moving this call alone to later on.  This will fit
      nicely when sysfs handling is consistent between all caches, but will look
      weird now.

      memcg: add comments clarifying aspects of cache attribute propagation · ebe945c2
      Glauber Costa authored
      This patch clarifies two aspects of cache attribute propagation.
      
      First, the expected context for the for_each_memcg_cache macro in
      memcontrol.h.  The usages already in the codebase are safe.  In mm/slub.c,
      it is trivially safe because the lock is acquired right before the loop.
      In mm/slab.c, it is less so: the lock is acquired by an outer function a
      few steps back in the stack, so a VM_BUG_ON() is added to make sure it is
      indeed safe.
      
      A comment is also added to detail why we are returning the value of the
      parent cache and ignoring the children's when we propagate the attributes.

      slub: slub-specific propagation changes · 107dab5c
      Glauber Costa authored
      SLUB allows us to tune a particular cache behavior with sysfs-based
      tunables.  When creating a new memcg cache copy, we'd like to preserve any
      tunables the parent cache already had.
      
      This can be done by tapping into the store attribute function provided by
      the allocator.  We of course don't need to mess with read-only fields.
      Since the attributes can have multiple types and are stored internally by
      sysfs, the best strategy is to issue a ->show() in the root cache, and
      then ->store() in the memcg cache.
      
      The drawback of that, is that sysfs can allocate up to a page in buffering
      for show(), that we are likely not to need, but also can't guarantee.  To
      avoid always allocating a page for that, we can update the caches at store
      time with the maximum attribute size ever stored to the root cache.  We
      will then get a buffer big enough to hold it.  The corolary to this, is
      that if no stores happened, nothing will be propagated.
      
      It can also happen that a root cache has its tunables updated during
      normal system operation.  In this case, we will propagate the change to
      all caches that are already active.

      slab: propagate tunable values · 943a451a
      Glauber Costa authored
      SLAB allows us to tune a particular cache behavior with tunables.  When
      creating a new memcg cache copy, we'd like to preserve any tunables the
      parent cache already had.
      
      This could be done by an explicit call to do_tune_cpucache() after the
      cache is created.  But this is not very convenient now that the caches are
      created from common code, since this function is SLAB-specific.
      
      Another method of doing that is taking advantage of the fact that
      do_tune_cpucache() is always called from enable_cpucache(), which is
      called at cache initialization.  We can just preset the values, and then
      things work as expected.
      
      It can also happen that a root cache has its tunables updated during
      normal system operation.  In this case, we will propagate the change to
      all caches that are already active.
      
      This change will require us to move the assignment of root_cache in
      memcg_params a bit earlier.  We need this to be already set - which
      memcg_kmem_register_cache will do - when we reach __kmem_cache_create()

      memcg/sl[au]b: shrink dead caches · 22933152
      Glauber Costa authored
      This means that when we destroy a memcg cache that happened to be empty,
      those caches may take a lot of time to go away: removing the memcg
      reference won't destroy them - because there are pending references, and
      the empty pages will stay there, until a shrinker is called upon for any
      reason.
      
      In this patch, we will call kmem_cache_shrink() for all dead caches that
      cannot be destroyed because of remaining pages.  After shrinking, it is
      possible that it could be freed.  If this is not the case, we'll schedule
      a lazy worker to keep trying.

      memcg/sl[au]b: track all the memcg children of a kmem_cache · 7cf27982
      Glauber Costa authored
      This enables us to remove all the children of a kmem_cache being
      destroyed, if for example the kernel module it's being used in gets
      unloaded.  Otherwise, the children will still point to the destroyed
      parent.

      memcg: destroy memcg caches · 1f458cbf
      Glauber Costa authored
      Implement destruction of memcg caches.  Right now, only caches where our
      reference counter is the last remaining are deleted.  If there are any
      other reference counters around, we just leave the caches lying around
      until they go away.
      
      When that happens, a destruction function is called from the cache code.
      Caches are only destroyed in process context, so we queue them up for
      later processing in the general case.

      sl[au]b: allocate objects from memcg cache · d79923fa
      Glauber Costa authored
      We are able to match a cache allocation to a particular memcg.  If the
      task doesn't change groups during the allocation itself - a rare event,
      this will give us a good picture about who is the first group to touch a
      cache page.
      
      This patch uses the now available infrastructure by calling
      memcg_kmem_get_cache() before all the cache allocations.

      memcg: skip memcg kmem allocations in specified code regions · 0e9d92f2
      Glauber Costa authored
      Create a mechanism that skip memcg allocations during certain pieces of
      our core code.  It basically works in the same way as
      preempt_disable()/preempt_enable(): By marking a region under which all
      allocations will be accounted to the root memcg.
      
      We need this to prevent races in early cache creation, when we
      allocate data using caches that are not necessarily created already.

      memcg: infrastructure to match an allocation to the right cache · d7f25f8a
      Glauber Costa authored
      The page allocator is able to bind a page to a memcg when it is
      allocated.  But for the caches, we'd like to have as many objects as
      possible in a page belonging to the same cache.
      
      This is done in this patch by calling memcg_kmem_get_cache in the
      beginning of every allocation function.  This function is patched out by
      static branches when kernel memory controller is not being used.
      
      It assumes that the task allocating, which determines the memcg in the
      page allocator, belongs to the same cgroup throughout the whole process.
      Misaccounting can happen if the task calls memcg_kmem_get_cache() while
      belonging to a cgroup, and later on changes.  This is considered
      acceptable, and should only happen upon task migration.
      
      Before the cache is created by the memcg core, there is also a possible
      imbalance: the task belongs to a memcg, but the cache being allocated from
      is the global cache, since the child cache is not yet guaranteed to be
      ready.  This case is also fine, since in this case the GFP_KMEMCG will not
      be passed and the page allocator will not attempt any cgroup accounting.

      memcg: allocate memory for memcg caches whenever a new memcg appears · 55007d84
      Glauber Costa authored
      Every cache that is considered a root cache (basically the "original"
      caches, tied to the root memcg/no-memcg) will have an array that should be
      large enough to store a cache pointer per each memcg in the system.
      
      Theoreticaly, this is as high as 1 << sizeof(css_id), which is currently
      in the 64k pointers range.  Most of the time, we won't be using that much.
      
      What goes in this patch, is a simple scheme to dynamically allocate such
      an array, in order to minimize memory usage for memcg caches.  Because we
      would also like to avoid allocations all the time, at least for now, the
      array will only grow.  It will tend to be big enough to hold the maximum
      number of kmem-limited memcgs ever achieved.
      
      We'll allocate it to be a minimum of 64 kmem-limited memcgs.  When we have
      more than that, we'll start doubling the size of this array every time the
      limit is reached.
      
      Because we are only considering kmem limited memcgs, a natural point for
      this to happen is when we write to the limit.  At that point, we already
      have set_limit_mutex held, so that will become our natural synchronization
      mechanism.

      slab/slub: consider a memcg parameter in kmem_create_cache · 2633d7a0
      Glauber Costa authored
      Allow a memcg parameter to be passed during cache creation.  When the slub
      allocator is being used, it will only merge caches that belong to the same
      memcg.  We'll do this by scanning the global list, and then translating
      the cache to a memcg-specific cache
      
      Default function is created as a wrapper, passing NULL to the memcg
      version.  We only merge caches that belong to the same memcg.
      
      A helper is provided, memcg_css_id: because slub needs a unique cache name
      for sysfs.  Since this is visible, but not the canonical location for slab
      data, the cache name is not used, the css_id should suffice.

      slab: annotate on-slab caches nodelist locks · 6ccfb5bc
      Glauber Costa authored
      We currently provide lockdep annotation for kmalloc caches, and also
      caches that have SLAB_DEBUG_OBJECTS enabled.  The reason for this is that
      we can quite frequently nest in the l3->list_lock lock, which is not
      something trivial to avoid.
      
      My proposal with this patch, is to extend this to caches whose slab
      management object lives within the slab as well ("on_slab").  The need for
      this arose in the context of testing kmemcg-slab patches.  With such
      patchset, we can have per-memcg kmalloc caches.  So the same path that led
      to nesting between kmalloc caches will could then lead to in-memcg
      nesting.  Because they are not annotated, lockdep will trigger.
