      cgroup: fix cgroup hierarchy umount race · 5db9a4d9
      Tejun Heo authored
      48ddbe19 "cgroup: make css->refcnt clearing on cgroup removal
      optional" allowed a css to linger after the associated cgroup is
      removed.  As a css holds a reference on the cgroup's dentry, it means
      that cgroup dentries may linger for a while.
      
      Destroying a superblock which has dentries with positive refcnts is a
      critical bug and triggers BUG() in vfs code.  As each cgroup dentry
      holds an s_active reference, any lingering cgroup has both its dentry
      and the superblock pinned and thus preventing premature release of
      superblock.
      
      Unfortunately, after 48ddbe19, there's a small window while
      releasing a cgroup which is directly under the root of the hierarchy.
      When a cgroup directory is released, vfs layer first deletes the
      corresponding dentry and then invokes dput() on the parent, which may
      recurse further, so when a cgroup directly below root cgroup is
      released, the cgroup is first destroyed - which releases the s_active
      it was holding - and then the dentry for the root cgroup is dput().
      
      This creates a window where the root dentry's refcnt isn't zero but
      superblock's s_active is.  If umount happens before or during this
      window, vfs will see the root dentry with non-zero refcnt and trigger
      BUG().
      
      Before 48ddbe19, this problem didn't exist because the last dentry
      reference was guaranteed to be put synchronously from rmdir(2)
      invocation which holds s_active around the whole process.
      
      Fix it by holding an extra superblock->s_active reference across
      dput() from css release, which is the dput() path added by 48ddbe19
      and the only one which doesn't hold an extra s_active ref across the
      final cgroup dput().

      Revert "cgroup: superblock can't be released with active dentries" · 7db5b3ca
      Tejun Heo authored
      This reverts commit fa980ca8.  The
      commit was an attempt to fix a race condition where a cgroup hierarchy
      may be unmounted with positive dentry reference on root cgroup.  While
      the commit made the race condition slightly more difficult to trigger,
      the race was still there and could be reliably triggered using a
      different test case.
      
      Revert the incorrect fix.  The next commit will describe the race and
      fix it correctly.

        been unsuccesful with discussing this.
      
        We have got to the point where we need to do something, and we've
        decided that the best solution is to revert the appropriate commits
        until Al is able to reply to us.

        be the final set of them.

        could expose old file contents (not stale, just not the most recent).
        He and Liu Bo fixed crashes during tree log recover as well.

      Rabin Vincent authored
      'sub pc, pc, #1b-2b+8-2' results in address<1:0> == '10'.
      
      sub pc, pc, #const (== ADR pc, #const) performs an interworking branch
      (BXWritePC()) on ARMv7+ and a simple branch (BranchWritePC()) on earlier
      versions.
      
      In ARM state, BXWritePC() is UNPREDICTABLE when address<1:0> == '10'.
      
      In ARM state on ARMv6+, BranchWritePC() ignores address<1:0>.  Before
      ARMv6, BranchWritePC() is UNPREDICTABLE if address<1:0> != '00'
      
      So the instruction is UNPREDICTABLE both before and after v6.
