mm/hwpoison: fix traversal of hugetlbfs pages to avoid printk flood · 20cb6cab

Wanpeng Li authored Sep 30, 2013

madvise_hwpoison won't check if the page is small page or huge page and
traverses in small page granularity against the range unconditionally,
which result in a printk flood "MCE xxx: already hardware poisoned" if
the page is a huge page.

This patch fixes it by using compound_order(compound_head(page)) for
huge page iterator.

Testcase:

#define _GNU_SOURCE
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <errno.h>

#define PAGES_TO_TEST 3
#define PAGE_SIZE	4096 * 512

int main(void)
{
	char *mem;
	int i;

	mem = mmap(NULL, PAGES_TO_TEST * PAGE_SIZE,
			PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_HUGETLB, 0, 0);

	if (madvise(mem, PAGES_TO_TEST * PAGE_SIZE, MADV_HWPOISON) == -1)
		return -1;

	munmap(mem, PAGES_TO_TEST * PAGE_SIZE);

	return 0;
}

block: change config option name for cmdline partition parsing · 080506ad

Paul Gortmaker authored Sep 30, 2013

Recently commit bab55417 ("block: support embedded device command
line partition") introduced CONFIG_CMDLINE_PARSER.  However, that name
is too generic and sounds like it enables/disables generic kernel boot
arg processing, when it really is block specific.

Before this option becomes a part of a full/final release, add the BLK_
prefix to it so that it is clear in absence of any other context that it
is block specific.

In addition, fix up the following less critical items:
 - help text was not really at all helpful.
 - index file for Documentation was not updated
 - add the new arg to Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt
 - clarify wording in source comments

mm/mlock.c: prevent walking off the end of a pagetable in no-pmd configuration · eadb41ae

Vlastimil Babka authored Sep 30, 2013

The function __munlock_pagevec_fill() introduced in commit 7a8010cd
("mm: munlock: manual pte walk in fast path instead of
follow_page_mask()") uses pmd_addr_end() for restricting its operation
within current page table.

This is insufficient on architectures/configurations where pmd is folded
and pmd_addr_end() just returns the end of the full range to be walked.
In this case, it allows pte++ to walk off the end of a page table
resulting in unpredictable behaviour.

This patch fixes the function by using pgd_addr_end() and pud_addr_end()
before pmd_addr_end(), which will yield correct page table boundary on
all configurations.  This is similar to what existing page walkers do
when walking each level of the page table.

Additionaly, the patch clarifies a comment for get_locked_pte() call in the
function.

mm: avoid reinserting isolated balloon pages into LRU lists · 117aad1e

Rafael Aquini authored Sep 30, 2013

Isolated balloon pages can wrongly end up in LRU lists when
migrate_pages() finishes its round without draining all the isolated
page list.

The same issue can happen when reclaim_clean_pages_from_list() tries to
reclaim pages from an isolated page list, before migration, in the CMA
path.  Such balloon page leak opens a race window against LRU lists
shrinkers that leads us to the following kernel panic:

nilfs2: fix issue with race condition of competition between segments for dirty blocks · 7f42ec39

Vyacheslav Dubeyko authored Sep 30, 2013

Many NILFS2 users were reported about strange file system corruption
(for example):

   NILFS: bad btree node (blocknr=185027): level = 0, flags = 0x0, nchildren = 768
   NILFS error (device sda4): nilfs_bmap_last_key: broken bmap (inode number=11540)

But such error messages are consequence of file system's issue that takes
place more earlier.  Fortunately, Jerome Poulin <jeromepoulin@gmail.com>
and Anton Eliasson <devel@antoneliasson.se> were reported about another
issue not so recently.  These reports describe the issue with segctor
thread's crash:

  BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at 0000000000004c83
  IP: nilfs_end_page_io+0x12/0xd0 [nilfs2]

  Call Trace:
   nilfs_segctor_do_construct+0xf25/0x1b20 [nilfs2]
   nilfs_segctor_construct+0x17b/0x290 [nilfs2]
   nilfs_segctor_thread+0x122/0x3b0 [nilfs2]
   kthread+0xc0/0xd0
   ret_from_fork+0x7c/0xb0

These two issues have one reason.  This reason can raise third issue
too.  Third issue results in hanging of segctor thread with eating of
100% CPU.

REPRODUCING PATH:

One of the possible way or the issue reproducing was described by
Jermoe me Poulin <jeromepoulin@gmail.com>:

1. init S to get to single user mode.
2. sysrq+E to make sure only my shell is running
3. start network-manager to get my wifi connection up
4. login as root and launch "screen"
5. cd /boot/log/nilfs which is a ext3 mount point and can log when NILFS dies.
6. lscp | xz -9e > lscp.txt.xz
7. mount my snapshot using mount -o cp=3360839,ro /dev/vgUbuntu/root /mnt/nilfs
8. start a screen to dump /proc/kmsg to text file since rsyslog is killed
9. start a screen and launch strace -f -o find-cat.log -t find
/mnt/nilfs -type f -exec cat {} > /dev/null \;
10. start a screen and launch strace -f -o apt-get.log -t apt-get update
11. launch the last command again as it did not crash the first time
12. apt-get crashes
13. ps aux > ps-aux-crashed.log
13. sysrq+W
14. sysrq+E  wait for everything to terminate
15. sysrq+SUSB

Simplified way of the issue reproducing is starting kernel compilation
task and "apt-get update" in parallel.

REPRODUCIBILITY:

The issue is reproduced not stable [60% - 80%].  It is very important to
have proper environment for the issue reproducing.  The critical
conditions for successful reproducing:

(1) It should have big modified file by mmap() way.

(2) This file should have the count of dirty blocks are greater that
    several segments in size (for example, two or three) from time to time
    during processing.

(3) It should be intensive background activity of files modification
    in another thread.

INVESTIGATION:

First of all, it is possible to see that the reason of crash is not valid
page address:

  NILFS [nilfs_segctor_complete_write]:2100 bh->b_count 0, bh->b_blocknr 13895680, bh->b_size 13897727, bh->b_page 0000000000001a82
  NILFS [nilfs_segctor_complete_write]:2101 segbuf->sb_segnum 6783

Moreover, value of b_page (0x1a82) is 6786.  This value looks like segment
number.  And b_blocknr with b_size values look like block numbers.  So,
buffer_head's pointer points on not proper address value.

Detailed investigation of the issue is discovered such picture:

Usually, for every segment we collect dirty files in list.  Then, dirty
blocks are gathered for every dirty file, prepared for write and
submitted by means of nilfs_segbuf_submit_bh() call.  Finally, it takes
place complete write phase after calling nilfs_end_bio_write() on the
block layer.  Buffers/pages are marked as not dirty on final phase and
processed files removed from the list of dirty files.

It is possible to see that we had three prepare_write and submit_bio
phases before segbuf_wait and complete_write phase.  Moreover, segments
compete between each other for dirty blocks because on every iteration
of segments processing dirty buffer_heads are added in several lists of
payload_buffers:

  [SEGMENT 6784]: bh->b_assoc_buffers.next ffff880218a0d5f8, bh->b_assoc_buffers.prev ffff880218bcdf50
  [SEGMENT 6785]: bh->b_assoc_buffers.next ffff880218a0d5f8, bh->b_assoc_buffers.prev ffff880222cc7ee8

The next pointer is the same but prev pointer has changed.  It means
that buffer_head has next pointer from one list but prev pointer from
another.  Such modification can be made several times.  And, finally, it
can be resulted in various issues: (1) segctor hanging, (2) segctor
crashing, (3) file system metadata corruption.

FIX:
This patch adds:

(1) setting of BH_Async_Write flag in nilfs_segctor_prepare_write()
    for every proccessed dirty block;

(2) checking of BH_Async_Write flag in
    nilfs_lookup_dirty_data_buffers() and
    nilfs_lookup_dirty_node_buffers();

(3) clearing of BH_Async_Write flag in nilfs_segctor_complete_write(),
    nilfs_abort_logs(), nilfs_forget_buffer(), nilfs_clear_dirty_page().

kernel/kmod.c: check for NULL in call_usermodehelper_exec() · 4c1c7be9

Tetsuo Handa authored Sep 30, 2013

If /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern contains only "|", a NULL pointer
dereference happens upon core dump because argv_split("") returns
argv[0] == NULL.

This bug was once fixed by commit 264b83c0 ("usermodehelper: check
subprocess_info->path != NULL") but was by error reintroduced by commit
7f57cfa4 ("usermodehelper: kill the sub_info->path[0] check").

This bug seems to exist since 2.6.19 (the version which core dump to
pipe was added).  Depending on kernel version and config, some side
effect might happen immediately after this oops (e.g.  kernel panic with
2.6.32-358.18.1.el6).

ipc/sem.c: synchronize the proc interface · d8c63376

Manfred Spraul authored Sep 30, 2013

The proc interface is not aware of sem_lock(), it instead calls
ipc_lock_object() directly.  This means that simple semop() operations
can run in parallel with the proc interface.  Right now, this is
uncritical, because the implementation doesn't do anything that requires
a proper synchronization.

But it is dangerous and therefore should be fixed.

ipc/sem.c: optimize sem_lock() · 6d07b68c

Manfred Spraul authored Sep 30, 2013

Operations that need access to the whole array must guarantee that there
are no simple operations ongoing.  Right now this is achieved by
spin_unlock_wait(sem->lock) on all semaphores.

If complex_count is nonzero, then this spin_unlock_wait() is not
necessary, because it was already performed in the past by the thread
that increased complex_count and even though sem_perm.lock was dropped
inbetween, no simple operation could have started, because simple
operations cannot start when complex_count is non-zero.

ipc/sem.c: fix race in sem_lock() · 5e9d5275

Manfred Spraul authored Sep 30, 2013

The exclusion of complex operations in sem_lock() is insufficient: after
acquiring the per-semaphore lock, a simple op must first check that
sem_perm.lock is not locked and only after that test check
complex_count.  The current code does it the other way around - and that
creates a race.  Details are below.

The patch is a complete rewrite of sem_lock(), based in part on the code
from Mike Galbraith.  It removes all gotos and all loops and thus the
risk of livelocks.

I have tested the patch (together with the next one) on my i3 laptop and
it didn't cause any problems.

The bug is probably also present in 3.10 and 3.11, but for these kernels
it might be simpler just to move the test of sma->complex_count after
the spin_is_locked() test.

Details of the bug:

Assume:
 - sma->complex_count = 0.
 - Thread 1: semtimedop(complex op that must sleep)
 - Thread 2: semtimedop(simple op).

Pseudo-Trace:

Thread 1: sem_lock(): acquire sem_perm.lock
Thread 1: sem_lock(): check for ongoing simple ops
			Nothing ongoing, thread 2 is still before sem_lock().
Thread 1: try_atomic_semop()

                        /* Lock just the semaphore we are interested in. */

mm/compaction.c: periodically schedule when freeing pages · f6ea3adb

David Rientjes authored Sep 30, 2013

We've been getting warnings about an excessive amount of time spent
allocating pages for migration during memory compaction without
scheduling.  isolate_freepages_block() already periodically checks for
contended locks or the need to schedule, but isolate_freepages() never
does.

When a zone is massively long and no suitable targets can be found, this
iteration can be quite expensive without ever doing cond_resched().

Check periodically for the need to reschedule while the compaction free
scanner iterates.

fs/binfmt_elf.c: prevent a coredump with a large vm_map_count from Oopsing · 72023656

Dan Aloni authored Sep 30, 2013

A high setting of max_map_count, and a process core-dumping with a large
enough vm_map_count could result in an NT_FILE note not being written,
and the kernel crashing immediately later because it has assumed
otherwise.

Reproduction of the oops-causing bug described here:

    https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/8/30/50

Rge ussue originated in commit 2aa362c4 ("coredump: extend core dump
note section to contain file names of mapped file") from Oct 4, 2012.

This patch make that section optional in that case.  fill_files_note()
should signify the error, and also let the info struct in
elf_core_dump() be zero-initialized so that we can check for the
optionally written note.

The fixed bug by commit cea27eb2 was fixed to another way by commit
3dcc0571 ("mm: correctly update zone->managed_pages").  That commit
enhances memory_hotplug.c to adjust totalhigh_pages when hot-removing
memory, for details please refer to:

  http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=136957578620221&w=2

As a result, commit cea27eb2 currently causes duplicated decreasing
of totalhigh_pages, thus the revert.

When the 'avr32_comparator' clockevent device is registered,
the clockevent core sets the mode of that clockevent device
to CLOCK_EVT_MODE_SHUTDOWN. Due to this, the 'comparator_mode'
function calls the 'cpu_idle_poll_ctrl' to disables idle poll.
This results in the aforementioned warning because the polling
is not enabled yet.

Change the code to only disable idle poll if it is enabled by
the same function to avoid the warning.

While this code is fixable, the commit itself fails on several levels:

 - it should have been a separate helper function
 - why the heck does it do strchr() twice
 - it casts a const char * over into char *
 - sloppy style
 - it's not even a regression fix!

So lets revert it and re-try the patch in v3.13.

Pull ACPI and power management fixes from Rafael Wysocki:
"These fix one recent cpufreq regression, a few older bugs that may
harm users and a kerneldoc typo.

Specifics:

1) After the recent locking changes in the cpufreq core it is
possible to trigger BUG_ON(!policy) in lock_policy_rwsem_read() if
cpufreq_get() is called before registering a cpufreq driver. Fix
from Viresh Kumar.

2) If intel_pstate has been loaded already, it doesn't make sense to
do anything in acpi_cpufreq_init() and moreover doing something in
there in that case may be harmful, so make that function return
immediately if another cpufreq driver is already present. From
Yinghai Lu.

3) The ACPI IPMI driver sometimes attempts to acquire a mutex from
interrupt context, which can be avoided by replacing that mutex
with a spinlock. From Lv Zheng.

4) A NULL pointer may be dereferenced by the exynos5440 cpufreq
driver if a memory allocation made by it fails. Fix from Sachin
Kamat.

5) Hanjun Guo's commit fixes a typo in the kerneldoc comment
documenting acpi_bus_unregister_driver()"

PCI: Workaround missing pci_set_master in pci drivers · f41f064c

Yinghai Lu authored Sep 28, 2013

Ben Herrenschmidt found that commit 928bea96 ("PCI: Delay enabling
bridges until they're needed") breaks PCI in some powerpc environments.

The reason is that the PCIe port driver will call pci_enable_device() on
the bridge, so the device is enabled, but skips pci_set_master because
pcie_port_auto and no acpi on powerpc.

Because of that, pci_enable_bridge() later on (called as a result of the
child device driver doing pci_enable_device) will see the bridge as
already enabled and will not call pci_set_master() on it.

Fixed by add checking in pci_enable_bridge, and call pci_set_master
if driver skip that.

That will make the code more robot and wade off problem for missing
pci_set_master in drivers.

Merge branch 'lockref' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/s390/linux · aeebc264

Linus Torvalds authored Sep 28, 2013

Pull s390 lockref enablement from Heiko Carstens:
 "Enabling the new lockless lockref variant on s390 would have been
  trivial until Tony Luck added a cpu_relax() call into the
  CMPXCHG_LOOP(), with commit d472d9d9 ("lockref: Relax in cmpxchg
  loop")

  As already mentioned cpu_relax() is very expensive on s390 since it
  yields() the current virtual cpu.  So we are talking of several
  thousand cycles.  Considering this enabling the lockless lockref
  variant would contradict the intention of the new semantics.  And also
  some quick measurements show performance regressions of 50% and more.

  Simply removing the cpu_relax() call again seems also not very
  desireable since Waiman Long reported that for some workloads the call
  improved performance by 5%."

  s390: enable ARCH_USE_CMPXCHG_LOCKREF
  lockref: use arch_mutex_cpu_relax() in CMPXCHG_LOOP()
