Two rt tasks bind to one CPU core. The higher priority rt task A preempts a lower priority rt task B which has already taken the write seq lock, and then the higher priority rt task A try to acquire read seq lock, it's doomed to lockup. rt task A with lower priority: call write i_size_write rt task B with higher priority: call sync, and preempt task A write_seqcount_begin(&inode->i_size_seqcount); i_size_read inode->i_size = i_size; read_seqcount_begin <-- lockup here... So disable preempt when acquiring every i_size_seqcount *write* lock will cure the problem. Signed-off-by:

csd_lock() uses assignment to data->flags rather than |=. That is not buggy at present because only one bit (CSD_FLAG_LOCK) is defined in call_single_data.flags. But it will become buggy if we later add another flag, so fix it now. Signed-off-by:

Writeback has been recently converted to use workqueue instead of its private thread pool implementation. One negative side effect of this conversion is that there's no easy to tell which backing device a writeback work item was working on at the time of task dump, be it sysrq-t, BUG, WARN or whatever, which, according to our writeback brethren, is important in tracking down issues with a lot of mounted file systems on a lot of different devices. This patch restores that information using the new worker description facility. bdi_writeback_workfn() calls set_work_desc() to identify which bdi it's working on. The description is printed out together with the worqueue name and worker function as in the following example dump.

One of the problems that arise when converting dedicated custom threadpool to workqueue is that the shared worker pool used by workqueue anonimizes each worker making it more difficult to identify what the worker was doing on which target from the output of sysrq-t or debug dump from oops, BUG() and friends. This patch implements set_worker_desc() which can be called from any workqueue work function to set its description. When the worker task is dumped for whatever reason - sysrq-t, WARN, BUG, oops, lockdep assertion and so on - the description will be printed out together with the workqueue name and the worker function pointer. The printing side is implemented by print_worker_info() which is called from functions in task dump paths - sched_show_task() and dump_stack_print_info(). print_worker_info() can be safely called on any task in any state as long as the task struct itself is accessible. It uses probe_*() functions to access worker fields. It may print garbage if something went very wrong, but it wouldn't cause (another) oops. The description is currently limited to 24bytes including the terminating \0. worker->desc_valid and workder->desc[] are added and the 64 bytes marker which was already incorrect before adding the new fields is moved to the correct position. Here's an example dump with writeback updated to set the bdi name as worker desc.

One of the problems that arise when converting dedicated custom threadpool to workqueue is that the shared worker pool used by workqueue anonimizes each worker making it more difficult to identify what the worker was doing on which target from the output of sysrq-t or debug dump from oops, BUG() and friends. For example, after writeback is converted to use workqueue instead of priviate thread pool, there's no easy to tell which backing device a writeback work item was working on at the time of task dump, which, according to our writeback brethren, is important in tracking down issues with a lot of mounted file systems on a lot of different devices. This patchset implements a way for a work function to mark its execution instance so that task dump of the worker task includes information to indicate what the work item was doing. An example WARN dump would look like the following.

This patch: Implement probe_kthread_data() which returns kthread_data if accessible. The function is equivalent to kthread_data() except that the specified @task may not be a kthread or its vfork_done is already cleared rendering struct kthread inaccessible. In the former case, probe_kthread_data() may return any value. In the latter, NULL. This will be used to safely print debug information without affecting synchronization in the normal paths. Workqueue debug info printing on dump_stack() and friends will make use of it. Signed-off-by:

show_regs() is inherently arch-dependent but it does make sense to print generic debug information and some archs already do albeit in slightly different forms. This patch introduces a generic function to print debug information from show_regs() so that different archs print out the same information and it's much easier to modify what's printed. show_regs_print_info() prints out the same debug info as dump_stack() does plus task and thread_info pointers. * Archs which didn't print debug info now do. alpha, arc, blackfin, c6x, cris, frv, h8300, hexagon, ia64, m32r, metag, microblaze, mn10300, openrisc, parisc, score, sh64, sparc, um, xtensa * Already prints debug info. Replaced with show_regs_print_info(). The printed information is superset of what used to be there. arm, arm64, avr32, mips, powerpc, sh32, tile, unicore32, x86 * s390 is special in that it used to print arch-specific information along with generic debug info. Heiko and Martin think that the arch-specific extra isn't worth keeping s390 specfic implementation. Converted to use the generic version. Note that now all archs print the debug info before actual register dumps.

x86 and ia64 can acquire extra hardware identification information from DMI and print it along with task dumps; however, the usage isn't consistent. * x86 show_regs() collects vendor, product and board strings and print them out with PID, comm and utsname. Some of the information is printed again later in the same dump. * warn_slowpath_common() explicitly accesses the DMI board and prints it out with "Hardware name:" label. This applies to both x86 and ia64 but is irrelevant on all other archs. * ia64 doesn't show DMI information on other non-WARN dumps. This patch introduces arch-specific hardware description used by dump_stack(). It can be set by calling dump_stack_set_arch_desc() during boot and, if exists, printed out in a separate line with "Hardware name:" label. dmi_set_dump_stack_arch_desc() is added which sets arch-specific description from DMI data. It uses dmi_ids_string[] which is set from dmi_present() used for DMI debug message. It is superset of the information x86 show_regs() is using. The function is called from x86 and ia64 boot code right after dmi_scan_machine(). This makes the explicit DMI handling in warn_slowpath_common() unnecessary. Removed. show_regs() isn't yet converted to use generic debug information printing and this patch doesn't remove the duplicate DMI handling in x86 show_regs(). The next patch will unify show_regs() handling and remove the duplication. An example WARN dump follows.

We're goning to use DMI identification for other purposes too. Morph dmi_dump_ids() which is used to print DMI identification as a debug message during boot into dmi_format_ids() which formats the same information sans the leading "DMI:" tag into a string buffer. dmi_present() is updated to format the information into dmi_ids_string[] using the new function and print it with "DMI:" prefix. dmi_ids_string[] will be used for another purpose by a future patch.

Both dump_stack() and show_stack() are currently implemented by each architecture. show_stack(NULL, NULL) dumps the backtrace for the current task as does dump_stack(). On some archs, dump_stack() prints extra information - pid, utsname and so on - in addition to the backtrace while the two are identical on other archs. The usages in arch-independent code of the two functions indicate show_stack(NULL, NULL) should print out bare backtrace while dump_stack() is used for debugging purposes when something went wrong, so it does make sense to print additional information on the task which triggered dump_stack(). There's no reason to require archs to implement two separate but mostly identical functions. It leads to unnecessary subtle information. This patch expands the dummy fallback dump_stack() implementation in lib/dump_stack.c such that it prints out debug information (taken from x86) and invokes show_stack(NULL, NULL) and drops arch-specific dump_stack() implementations in all archs except blackfin. Blackfin's dump_stack() does something wonky that I don't understand. Debug information can be printed separately by calling dump_stack_print_info() so that arch-specific dump_stack() implementation can still emit the same debug information. This is used in blackfin. This patch brings the following behavior changes. * On some archs, an extra level in backtrace for show_stack() could be printed. This is because the top frame was determined in dump_stack() on those archs while generic dump_stack() can't do that reliably. It can be compensated by inlining dump_stack() but not sure whether that'd be necessary. * Most archs didn't use to print debug info on dump_stack(). They do now. An example WARN dump follows.

This loses %ksp from the debug message which the maintainers think isn't important enough to keep the s390-specific dump_stack() implementation. dump_stack_print_info() is moved to kernel/printk.c from lib/dump_stack.c. Because linkage is per objecct file, dump_stack_print_info() living in the same lib file as generic dump_stack() means that archs which implement custom dump_stack() - at this point, only blackfin - can't use dump_stack_print_info() as that will bring in the generic version of dump_stack() too. v1 The v1 patch broke build on blackfin due to this issue. The build breakage was reported by Fengguang Wu. Signed-off-by: -

show_stack(current or NULL, NULL) is used by arch-independent code to dump backtrace of the current task; however, sparc32 show_stack() doesn't implement it and wouldn't print any backtrace when NULL @_ksp is specfied. Make show_stack() acquire and use %fp if @tsk is NULL or current and @_ksp is NULL. This makes %fp fetching in dump_stack() unnecessary. Make it use NULL for @_ksp instead. Only compile tested.

There are multiple ways a task can be dumped - explicit call to dump_stack(), triggering WARN() or BUG(), through sysrq-t and so on. Most of what gets printed is upto each architecture and the current state is not particularly pretty. Different pieces of information are presented differently depending on which path the dump takes and which architecture it's running on. This is messy for no good reason and makes it exceedingly difficult to add or modify debug information to task dumps. In all archs except for s390, there's nothing arch-specific about the printed debug information. This patchset updates all those archs to use the same helpers to consistently print out the same debug information. An example WARN dump after this patchset.

This patchset contains the following seven patches. 0001-x86-don-t-show-trace-beyond-show_stack-NULL-NULL.patch 0002-sparc32-make-show_stack-acquire-fp-if-_ksp-is-not-sp.patch 0003-dump_stack-consolidate-dump_stack-implementations-an.patch 0004-dmi-morph-dmi_dump_ids-into-dmi_format_ids-which-for.patch 0005-dump_stack-implement-arch-specific-hardware-descript.patch 0006-dump_stack-unify-debug-information-printed-by-show_r.patch 0007-arc-print-fatal-signals-reduce-duplicated-informatio.patch 0001-0002 update stack dumping functions in x86 and sparc32 in preparation. 0003 makes all arches except blackfin use generic dump_stack(). blackfin still uses the generic helper to print the same info. 0004-0005 properly abstract DMI identifier printing in WARN() and show_regs() so that all dumps print out the information. This enables show_regs() to use the same debug info message. 0006 updates show_regs() of all arches to use a common generic helper to print debug info. 0007 removes somem duplicate information from arc dumps. While this patchset changes how debug info is printed on some archs, the printed information is always superset of what used to be there. This patchset makes task dump debug messages consistent and enables adding more information. Workqueue is scheduled to add worker information including the workqueue in use and work item specific description. While this patch touches a lot of archs, it isn't too likely to cause non-trivial conflicts with arch-specfic changes and would probably be best to route together either through -mm. x86 is tested but other archs are either only compile tested or not tested at all. Changes to most archs are generally trivial. This patch: show_stack(current or NULL, NULL) is used to print the backtrace of the current task. As trace beyond the function itself isn't of much interest to anyone, don't show it by determining sp and bp in show_stack()'s frame and passing them to show_stack_log_lvl(). This brings show_stack(NULL, NULL)'s behavior in line with dump_stack(). Signed-off-by:

With the goal of allowing tmem backends (zcache, ramster, Xen tmem) to be built/loaded as modules rather than built-in and enabled by a boot parameter, this patch provides "lazy initialization", allowing backends to register to cleancache even after filesystems were mounted. Calls to init_fs and init_shared_fs are remembered as fake poolids but no real tmem_pools created. On backend registration the fake poolids are mapped to real poolids and respective tmem_pools.

Frontswap initialization routine depends on swap_lock, which want to be atomic about frontswap's first appearance. IOW, frontswap is not present and will fail all calls OR frontswap is fully functional but if new swap_info_struct isn't registered by enable_swap_info, swap subsystem doesn't start I/O so there is no race between init procedure and page I/O working on frontswap. So let's remove unnecessary swap_lock dependency. Cc: Dan Magenheimer <dan.magenheimer@oracle.com> Signed-off-by:

Call cond_resched() in shrink_dcache_parent() to maintain interactivity. Before this patch: void shrink_dcache_parent(struct dentry * parent) { while ((found = select_parent(parent, &dispose)) != 0) shrink_dentry_list(&dispose); } select_parent() populates the dispose list with dentries which shrink_dentry_list() then deletes. select_parent() carefully uses need_resched() to avoid doing too much work at once. But neither shrink_dcache_parent() nor its called functions call cond_resched(). So once need_resched() is set select_parent() will return single dentry dispose list which is then deleted by shrink_dentry_list(). This is inefficient when there are a lot of dentry to process. This can cause softlockup and hurts interactivity on non preemptable kernels. This change adds cond_resched() in shrink_dcache_parent(). The benefit of this is that need_resched() is quickly cleared so that future calls to select_parent() are able to efficiently return a big batch of dentry. These additional cond_resched() do not seem to impact performance, at least for the workload below. Here is a program which can cause soft lockup if other system activity sets need_resched(). int main() { struct rlimit rlim; int i; int f[100000]; char buf[20]; struct timeval t1, t2; double diff; /* cleanup past run */ system("rm -rf x"); /* boost nfile rlimit */ rlim.rlim_cur = 200000; rlim.rlim_max = 200000; if (setrlimit(RLIMIT_NOFILE, &rlim)) err(1, "setrlimit"); /* make directory for files */ if (mkdir("x", 0700)) err(1, "mkdir"); if (gettimeofday(&t1, NULL)) err(1, "gettimeofday"); /* populate directory with open files */ for (i = 0; i < 100000; i++) { snprintf(buf, sizeof(buf), "x/%d", i); f[i] = open(buf, O_CREAT); if (f[i] == -1) err(1, "open"); } /* close some of the files */ for (i = 0; i < 85000; i++) close(f[i]); /* unlink all files, even open ones */ system("rm -rf x"); if (gettimeofday(&t2, NULL)) err(1, "gettimeofday"); diff = (((double)t2.tv_sec * 1000000 + t2.tv_usec) - ((double)t1.tv_sec * 1000000 + t1.tv_usec)); printf("done: %g elapsed\n", diff/1e6); return 0; } Signed-off-by:Greg Thelen <gthelen@google.com> Signed-off-by:

When we run the crackerjack testsuite, the inotify_add_watch test is stalled. This is caused by the invalid mask 0 - the task is waiting for the event but it never comes. inotify_add_watch() should return -EINVAL as it did before commit 676a0675 ("inotify: remove broken mask checks causing unmount to be EINVAL"). That commit removes the invalid mask check, but that check is needed. Check the mask's ALL_INOTIFY_BITS before the inotify_arg_to_mask() call. If none are set, just return -EINVAL. Because IN_UNMOUNT is in ALL_INOTIFY_BITS, this change will not trigger the problem that above commit fixed. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix build] Signed-off-by:
