While back-porting Johannes Weiner's patch "mm: memcg-aware global reclaim" for an internal effort, we noticed a significant performance regression during page-reclaim heavy workloads due to high contention of the ss->id_lock. This lock protects idr map, and serializes calls to idr_get_next() in css_get_next() (which is used during the memcg hierarchy walk). Since idr_get_next() is just doing a look up, we need only serialize it with respect to idr_remove()/idr_get_new(). By making the ss->id_lock a rwlock, contention is greatly reduced and performance improves. Tested: cat a 256m file from a ramdisk in a 128m container 50 times on each core (one file + container per core) in parallel on a NUMA machine. Result is the time for the test to complete in 1 of the containers. Both kernels included Johannes' memcg-aware global reclaim patches.

In testing aio on a fast storage device, I found that the context lock takes up a fair amount of cpu time in the I/O submission path. The reason is that we take it for every I/O submitted (see __aio_get_req). Since we know how many I/Os are passed to io_submit, we can preallocate the kiocbs in batches, reducing the number of times we take and release the lock. In my testing, I was able to reduce the amount of time spent in _raw_spin_lock_irq by .56% (average of 3 runs). The command I used to test this was: aio-stress -O -o 2 -o 3 -r 8 -d 128 -b 32 -i 32 -s 16384 <dev> I also tested the patch with various numbers of events passed to io_submit, and I ran the xfstests aio group of tests to ensure I didn't break anything.

This client driver allows you to use a GPIO pin as a source for PPS signals. Platform data [1] are used to specify the GPIO pin number, label, assert event edge type, and whether clear events are captured.

arch/powerpc/sysdev/fsl_rio.c: release rapidio port I/O region resource if port failed to initialize The "struct rio_mport" contains a member of master port I/O memory resource structure "struct resource iores". This resource will be read from device tree and be used for rapidio R/W transaction memory space. Rapidio requests the port I/O memory resource under the root resource "iomem_resource". struct rio_mport *port; port = kzalloc(sizeof(struct rio_mport), GFP_KERNEL); request_resource(&iomem_resource, &port->iores); When port failed to initialize, allocated "rio_mport" structure memory will be freed, and the port I/O memory resource structure pointer "&port->iores" will be invalid. If other requests resource under "iomem_resource", "&port->iores" node may be operated in the child resources list and this will cause the system to crash. So the requested port I/O memory resource should be released before freeing allocated "rio_mport" structure. Signed-off-by:

Expand root=PARTUUID=UUID syntax to support selecting a root partition by integer offset from a known, unique partition. This approach provides similar properties to specifying a device and partition number, but using the UUID as the unique path prior to evaluating the offset. For example, root=PARTUUID=99DE9194-FC15-4223-9192-FC243948F88B/PARTNROFF=1 selects the partition with UUID 99DE.. then select the next partition. This change is motivated by a particular usecase in Chromium OS where the bootloader can easily determine what partition it is on (by UUID) but doesn't perform general partition table walking. That said, support for this model provides a direct mechanism for the user to modify the root partition to boot without specifically needing to extract each UUID or update the bootloader explicitly when the root partition UUID is changed (if it is recreated to be larger, for instance). Pinning to a /boot-style partition UUID allows the arbitrary root partition reconfiguration/modifications with slightly less ambiguity than just [dev][partition] and less stringency than the specific root partition UUID.

semtimedop() does not handle spurious wakeups, it returns -EINTR to user space. Most other schedule() users would just loop and not return to user space. The patch adds such a loop to semtimedop() Signed-off-by:

Manfred Spraul authored
sys_semtimedop() may return -EIDRM although the semaphore operation completed successfully: thread 1: thread 2: semtimedop(), sleeps semop(): * acquires sem_lock() semtimedop() woken up due to timeout sem_lock() loops * notices that thread 2 could be completed. * performs the operations that thread 2 is sleeping on. * marks the semaphore operation as IN_WAKEUP * drops sem_lock(), does wakeup, sets return code to 0 * thread delayed due to interrupt, whatever * returns to user space * thread still delayed semctl(IPC_RMID) * acquires sem_lock() * ipc_rmid(), ipcp->deleted=1 * drops sem_lock() * thread finally continues - but seem_lock() now fails due to ipcp->deleted == 1 * returns -EIDRM instead of 0 The fix is trivial: Always use the return code in queue.status. In real world, the race probably doesn't matter: If the semaphore array is destroyed, the app is probably not interested if the last operation succeeded or was already cancelled. Signed-off-by:

fd* files are restricted to the task's owner, and other users may not get direct access to them. But one may open any of these files and run any setuid program, keeping opened file descriptors. As there are permission checks on open(), but not on readdir() and read(), operations on the kept file descriptors will not be checked. It makes it possible to violate procfs permission model. Reading fdinfo/* may disclosure current fds' position and flags, reading directory contents of fdinfo/ and fd/ may disclosure the number of opened files by the target task. This information is not sensible per se, but it can reveal some private information (like length of a password stored in a file) under certain conditions. Used existing (un)lock_trace functions to check for ptrace_may_access(), but instead of using EPERM return code from it use EACCES to be consistent with existing proc_pid_follow_link()/proc_pid_readlink() return code. If they differ, attacker can guess what fds exist by analyzing stat() return code. Patched handlers: stat() for fd/*, stat() and read() for fdindo/*, readdir() and lookup() for fd/ and fdinfo/.

{get,put}_mems_allowed() exist so that general kernel code may locklessly access a task's set of allowable nodes without having the chance that a concurrent write will cause the nodemask to be empty on configurations where MAX_NUMNODES > BITS_PER_LONG. This could incur a significant delay, however, especially in low memory conditions because the page allocator is blocking and reclaim requires get_mems_allowed() itself. It is not atypical to see writes to cpuset.mems take over 2 seconds to complete, for example. In low memory conditions, this is problematic because it's one of the most imporant times to change cpuset.mems in the first place! The only way a task's set of allowable nodes may change is through cpusets by writing to cpuset.mems and when attaching a task to a generic code is not reading the nodemask with get_mems_allowed() at the same time, and then clearing all the old nodes. This prevents the possibility that a reader will see an empty nodemask at the same time the writer is storing a new nodemask. If at least one node remains unchanged, though, it's possible to simply set all new nodes and then clear all the old nodes. Changing a task's nodemask is protected by cgroup_mutex so it's guaranteed that two threads are not changing the same task's nodemask at the same time, so the nodemask is guaranteed to be stored before another thread changes it and determines whether a node remains set or not.

There is a potential race between a thread charging a page and another thread putting it back to the LRU list: charge: putback: SetPageCgroupUsed SetPageLRU PageLRU && add to memcg LRU PageCgroupUsed && add to memcg LRU The order of setting one flag and checking the other is crucial, otherwise the charge may observe !PageLRU while the putback observes !PageCgroupUsed and the page is not linked to the memcg LRU at all. Global memory pressure may fix this by trying to isolate and putback the page for reclaim, where that putback would link it to the memcg LRU again. Without that, the memory cgroup is undeletable due to a charge whose physical page can not be found and moved out. Signed-off-by:
