Mike said: : CONFIG_UBSAN_ALIGNMENT breaks x86-64 kernel with lockdep enabled, i. e : kernel with CONFIG_UBSAN_ALIGNMENT fails to load without even any error : message. : : The problem is that ubsan callbacks use spinlocks and might be called : before lockdep is initialized. Particularly this line in the : reserve_ebda_region function causes problem: : : lowmem = *(unsigned short *)__va(BIOS_LOWMEM_KILOBYTES); : : If i put lockdep_init() before reserve_ebda_region call in : x86_64_start_reservations kernel loads well. Fix this ordering issue permanently: change lockdep so that it uses hlists for the hash tables. Unlike a list_head, an hlist_head is in its initialized state when it is all-zeroes, so lockdep is ready for operation immediately upon boot - lockdep_init() need not have run. The patch will also save some memory. lockdep_init() and lockdep_initialized can be done away with now - a 4.6 patch has been prepared to do this.

This showed up on ARC when running LMBench bw_mem tests as Overlapping TLB Machine Check Exception triggered due to STLB entry (2M pages) overlapping some NTLB entry (regular 8K page). bw_mem 2m touches a large chunk of vaddr creating NTLB entries. In the interim khugepaged kicks in, collapsing the contiguous ptes into a single pmd. pmdp_collapse_flush()->flush_pmd_tlb_range() is called to flush out NTLB entries for the ptes. This for ARC (by design) can only shootdown STLB entries (for pmd). The stray NTLB entries cause the overlap with the subsequent STLB entry for collapsed page. So make pmdp_collapse_flush() call pte flush interface not pmd flush. Note that originally all thp flush call sites in generic code called flush_tlb_range() leaving it to architecture to implement the flush for pte and/or pmd. Commit 12ebc158 changed this by calling a new opt-in API flush_pmd_tlb_range() which made the semantics more explicit but failed to distinguish the pte vs pmd flush in generic code, which is what this patch fixes. Note that ARC can fixed w/o touching the generic pmdp_collapse_flush() by defining a ARC version, but that defeats the purpose of generic version, plus sementically this is the right thing to do.

DAX implements split_huge_pmd() by clearing pmd. This simple approach reduces memory overhead, as we don't need to deposit page table on huge page mapping to make split_huge_pmd() never-fail. PTE table can be allocated and populated later on page fault from backing store. But one side effect is that have to check if pmd is pmd_none() after split_huge_pmd(). In most places we do this already to deal with parallel MADV_DONTNEED. But I found two call sites which is not affected by MADV_DONTNEED (due down_write(mmap_sem)), but need to have the check to work with DAX properly. Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

The kptr_restrict flag, when set to 1, only prints the kernel address when the user has CAP_SYSLOG. When it is set to 2, the kernel address is always printed as zero. When set to 1, this needs to check whether or not we're in IRQ. However, when set to 2, this check is unneccessary, and produces confusing results in dmesg. Thus, only make sure we're not in IRQ when mode 1 is used, but not mode 2. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes] Signed-off-by: Jason A.

When ctx access is used, the kernel often needs to expand/rewrite instructions, so after that patching, branch offsets have to be adjusted for both forward and backward jumps in the new eBPF program, but for backward jumps it fails to account the delta. Meaning, for example, if the expansion happens exactly on the insn that sits at the jump target, it doesn't fix up the back jump offset. Analysis on what the check in adjust_branches() is currently doing: /* adjust offset of jmps if necessary */ if (i < pos && i + insn->off + 1 > pos) insn->off += delta; else if (i > pos && i + insn->off + 1 < pos) insn->off -= delta; First condition (forward jumps): Before: After: insns[0] insns[0] insns[1] <--- i/insn insns[1] <--- i/insn insns[2] <--- pos insns[P] <--- pos insns[3] insns[P] `------| delta insns[4] <--- target_X insns[P] `-----| insns[5] insns[3] insns[4] <--- target_X insns[5] First case is if we cross pos-boundary and the jump instruction was before pos. This is handeled correctly. I.e. if i == pos, then this would mean our jump that we currently check was the patchlet itself that we just injected. Since such patchlets are self-contained and have no awareness of any insns before or after the patched one, the delta is correctly not adjusted. Also, for the second condition in case of i + insn->off + 1 == pos, means we jump to that newly patched instruction, so no offset adjustment are needed. That part is correct. Second condition (backward jumps): Before: After: insns[0] insns[0] insns[1] <--- target_X insns[1] <--- target_X insns[2] <--- pos <-- target_Y insns[P] <--- pos <-- target_Y insns[3] insns[P] `------| delta insns[4] <--- i/insn insns[P] `-----| insns[5] insns[3] insns[4] <--- i/insn insns[5] Second interesting case is where we cross pos-boundary and the jump instruction was after pos. Backward jump with i == pos would be impossible and pose a bug somewhere in the patchlet, so the first condition checking i > pos is okay only by itself. However, i + insn->off + 1 < pos does not always work as intended to trigger the adjustment. It works when jump targets would be far off where the delta wouldn't matter. But, for example, where the fixed insn->off before pointed to pos (target_Y), it now points to pos + delta, so that additional room needs to be taken into account for the check. This means that i) both tests here need to be adjusted into pos + delta, and ii) for the second condition, the test needs to be <= as pos itself can be a target in the backjump, too.

When looking up the pool_workqueue to use for an unbound workqueue, workqueue assumes that the target CPU is always bound to a valid NUMA node. However, currently, when a CPU goes offline, the mapping is destroyed and cpu_to_node() returns NUMA_NO_NODE. This has always been broken but hasn't triggered often enough before 874bbfe6 ("workqueue: make sure delayed work run in local cpu"). After the commit, workqueue forcifully assigns the local CPU for delayed work items without explicit target CPU to fix a different issue. This widens the window where CPU can go offline while a delayed work item is pending causing delayed work items dispatched with target CPU set to an already offlined CPU. The resulting NUMA_NO_NODE mapping makes workqueue try to queue the work item on a NULL pool_workqueue and thus crash. While 874bbfe6 has been reverted for a different reason making the bug less visible again, it can still happen. Fix it by mapping NUMA_NO_NODE to the default pool_workqueue from unbound_pwq_by_node(). This is a temporary workaround. The long term solution is keeping CPU -> NODE mapping stable across CPU off/online cycles which is being worked on.

David Wragg says: ==================== Set a large MTU on ovs-created tunnel devices Prior to 4.3, openvswitch tunnel vports (vxlan, gre and geneve) could transmit vxlan packets of any size, constrained only by the ability to send out the resulting packets. 4.3 introduced netdevs corresponding to tunnel vports. These netdevs have an MTU, which limits the size of a packet that can be successfully encapsulated. The default MTU values are low (1500 or less), which is awkwardly small in the context of physical networks supporting jumbo frames, and leads to a conspicuous change in behaviour for userspace. This patch series sets the MTU on openvswitch-created netdevs to be the relevant maximum (i.e. the maximum IP packet size minus any relevant overhead), effectively restoring the behaviour prior to 4.3. Where relevant, the limits on MTU values that can be directly set on the netdevs are also relaxed.

Allow the MTU of geneve devices to be set to large values, in order to exploit underlying networks with larger frame sizes. GENEVE does not have a fixed encapsulation overhead (an openvswitch rule can add variable length options), so there is no relevant maximum MTU to enforce. A maximum of IP_MAX_MTU is used instead. Encapsulated packets that are too big for the underlying network will get dropped on the floor. Signed-off-by: David Wragg <david@weave.works> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Allow the MTU of vxlan devices without an underlying device to be set to larger values (up to a maximum based on IP packet limits and vxlan overhead). Previously, their MTUs could not be set to higher than the conventional ethernet value of 1500. This is a very arbitrary value in the context of vxlan, and prevented vxlan devices from being able to take advantage of jumbo frames etc. The default MTU remains 1500, for compatibility.

Workqueue used to guarantee local execution for work items queued without explicit target CPU. The guarantee is gone now which can break some usages in subtle ways. To flush out those cases, this patch implements a debug feature which forces round-robin CPU selection for all such work items. The debug feature defaults to off and can be enabled with a kernel parameter. The default can be flipped with a debug config option. If you hit this commit during bisection, please refer to 041bd12e ("Revert "workqueue: make sure delayed work run in local cpu"") for more information and ping me.

WORK_CPU_UNBOUND work items queued to a bound workqueue always run locally. This is a good thing normally, but not when the user has asked us to keep unbound work away from certain CPUs. Round robin these to wq_unbound_cpumask CPUs instead, as perturbation avoidance trumps performance. tj: Cosmetic and comment changes. WARN_ON_ONCE() dropped from empty (wq_unbound_cpumask AND cpu_online_mask). If we want that, it should be done when config changes.

This reverts commit 874bbfe6. Workqueue used to implicity guarantee that work items queued without explicit CPU specified are put on the local CPU. Recent changes in timer broke the guarantee and led to vmstat breakage which was fixed by 176bed1d ("vmstat: explicitly schedule per-cpu work on the CPU we need it to run on"). vmstat is the most likely to expose the issue and it's quite possible that there are other similar problems which are a lot more difficult to trigger. As a preventive measure, 874bbfe6 ("workqueue: make sure delayed work run in local cpu") was applied to restore the local CPU guarnatee. Unfortunately, the change exposed a bug in timer code which got fixed by 22b886dd ("timers: Use proper base migration in add_timer_on()"). Due to code restructuring, the commit couldn't be backported beyond certain point and stable kernels which only had 874bbfe6 started crashing. The local CPU guarantee was accidental more than anything else and we want to get rid of it anyway. As, with the vmstat case fixed, 874bbfe6 is causing more problems than it's fixing, it has been decided to take the chance and officially break the guarantee by reverting the commit. A debug feature will be added to force foreign CPU assignment to expose cases relying on the guarantee and fixes for the individual cases will be backported to stable as necessary.

Long ago, Dave Jones complained about CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO: "I don't use the auto config, because I end up filling up /boot unless I go through and clean them out by hand every time I install a new one (which I do probably a dozen or so times a day). Is there some easy way to prune old builds I'm missing?" To which Bruce replied: "I run this by hand every now and then. I'm probably doing it all wrong" And if he is running it wrong, then so am I - because I've been using this script ever since. It is true that CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO easily ends up filling your /boot partition if you don't clean up old versions regularly, and this script helps make that easier. Checked with Bruce to see that it's fine to add this to the kernel scripts. Maybe people will come up with enhancements, but more importantly, this way I won't misplace this script whenever I install a new machine and start doing custom kernels for it.

This patch fixes an issue with unaligned accesses when using eth_get_headlen on a page that was DMA aligned instead of being IP aligned. The fact is when trying to check the length we don't need to be looking at the flow label so we can reorder the checks to first check if we are supposed to gather the flow label and then make the call to actually get it. v2: Updated path so that either STOP_AT_FLOW_LABEL or KEY_FLOW_LABEL can cause us to check for the flow label.

Commit ae461131 ("of: of_mdio: Add a whitelist of PHY compatibilities.") missed one compatible string used in in-tree DTBs: in OCTEON, for selected boards, the kernel DTB pruning code will overwrite the DTB compatible string with "marvell,88e1145", which is missing from the whitelist. Add it. The patch fixes broken networking on EdgeRouter Lite. Fixes: ae461131 ("of: of_mdio: Add a whitelist of PHY compatibilities.")

Commit ed5a377d ("sctp: translate host order to network order when setting a hmacid") corrected the hmacid byte-order when setting a hmacid. but the same issue also exists on getting a hmacid. We fix it by changing hmacids to host order when users get them with getsockopt.

Firmware posts the devcmd result in result ring. In case of timeout, driver does not increment the current result pointer and firmware could post the result after timeout has occurred. During next devcmd, driver would be reading the result of previous devcmd. Fix this by incrementing result even in case of timeout.

tg3_tso_bug() can hit a condition where the entire tx ring is not big enough to segment the GSO packet. For example, if MSS is very small, gso_segs can exceed the tx ring size. When we hit the condition, it will cause tx timeout. tg3_tso_bug() is called to handle TSO and DMA hardware bugs. For TSO bugs, if tg3_tso_bug() cannot succeed, we have to drop the packet. For DMA bugs, we can still fall back to linearize the SKB and let the hardware transmit the TSO packet. This patch adds a function tg3_tso_bug_gso_check() to check if there are enough tx descriptors for GSO before calling tg3_tso_bug(). The caller will then handle the error appropriately - drop or lineraize the SKB. v2: Corrected patch description to avoid confusion.
