Although NMI-based stack dumps are in principle more accurate, they are also more likely to trigger deadlocks. This commit therefore replaces all uses of trigger_all_cpu_backtrace() with rcu_dump_cpu_stacks(), so that the CPU detecting an RCU CPU stall does the stack dumping. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

Binding the grace-period kthreads to the timekeeping CPU resulted in significant performance decreases for some workloads. For more detail, see: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/6/3/395 for benchmark numbers https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/6/4/218 for CPU statistics It turns out that it is necessary to bind the grace-period kthreads to the timekeeping CPU only when all but CPU 0 is a nohz_full CPU on the one hand or if CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL_SYSIDLE=y on the other. In other cases, it suffices to bind the grace-period kthreads to the set of non-nohz_full CPUs. This commit therefore creates a tick_nohz_not_full_mask that is the complement of tick_nohz_full_mask, and then binds the grace-period kthread to the set of CPUs indicated by this new mask, which covers the CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL_SYSIDLE=n case. The CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL_SYSIDLE=y case still binds the grace-period kthreads to the timekeeping CPU. This commit also includes the tick_nohz_full_enabled() check suggested by Frederic Weisbecker.

RCU priority boosting currently checks for boosting via a pointer in task_struct. However, this is not needed: As Oleg noted, if the rt_mutex is placed in the rcu_node instead of on the booster's stack, the boostee can simply check it see if it owns the lock. This commit makes this change, shrinking task_struct by one pointer and the kernel by thirteen lines. Suggested-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

The rcu_start_future_gp() function checks the current rcu_node's ->gpnum and ->completed twice, once without ACCESS_ONCE() and once with it. Which is pointless because we hold that rcu_node's ->lock at that point. The intent was to check the current rcu_node structure and the root rcu_node structure, the latter locklessly with ACCESS_ONCE(). This commit therefore makes that change. The reason that it is safe to locklessly check the root rcu_nodes's ->gpnum and ->completed fields is that we hold the current rcu_node's ->lock, which constrains the root rcu_node's ability to change its ->gpnum and ->completed fields. Of course, if there is a single rcu_node structure, then rnp_root==rnp, and holding the lock prevents all changes. If there is more than one rcu_node structure, then the code updates the fields in the following order: 1. Increment rnp_root->gpnum to start new grace period. 2. Increment rnp->gpnum to initialize the current rcu_node, continuing initialization for the new grace period. 3. Increment rnp_root->completed to end the current grace period. 4. Increment rnp->completed to continue cleaning up after the old grace period. So there are four possible combinations of relative values of these four fields: N N N N: RCU idle, new grace period must be initiated. Although rnp_root->gpnum might be incremented immediately after we check, that will just result in unnecessary work. The grace period already started, and we try to start it. N+1 N N N: RCU grace period just started. No further change is possible because we hold rnp->lock, so the checks of rnp_root->gpnum and rnp_root->completed are stable. We know that our request for a future grace period will be seen during grace-period cleanup. N+1 N N+1 N: RCU grace period is ongoing. Because rnp->gpnum is different than rnp->completed, we won't even look at rnp_root->gpnum and rnp_root->completed, so the possible concurrent change to rnp_root->completed does not matter. We know that our request for a future grace period will be seen during grace-period cleanup, which cannot pass this rcu_node because we hold its ->lock. N+1 N+1 N+1 N: RCU grace period has ended, but not yet been cleaned up. Because rnp->gpnum is different than rnp->completed, we won't look at rnp_root->gpnum and rnp_root->completed, so the possible concurrent change to rnp_root->completed does not matter. We know that our request for a future grace period will be seen during grace-period cleanup, which cannot pass this rcu_node because we hold its ->lock. Therefore, despite initial appearances, the lockless check is safe.

The current approach to RCU priority boosting uses an rt_mutex strictly for its priority-boosting side effects. The rt_mutex_init_proxy_locked() function is used by the booster to initialize the lock as held by the boostee. The booster then uses rt_mutex_lock() to acquire this rt_mutex, which priority-boosts the boostee. When the boostee reaches the end of its outermost RCU read-side critical section, it checks a field in its task structure to see whether it has been boosted, and, if so, uses rt_mutex_unlock() to release the rt_mutex. The booster can then go on to boost the next task that is blocking the current RCU grace period. But reasonable implementations of rt_mutex_unlock() might result in the boostee referencing the rt_mutex's data after releasing it. But the booster might have re-initialized the rt_mutex between the time that the boostee released it and the time that it later referenced it. This is clearly asking for trouble, so this commit introduces a completion that forces the booster to wait until the boostee has completely finished with the rt_mutex, thus avoiding the case where the booster is re-initializing the rt_mutex before the last boostee's last reference to that rt_mutex. This of course does introduce some overhead, but the priority-boosting code paths are miles from any possible fastpath, and the overhead of executing the completion will normally be quite small compared to the overhead of priority boosting and deboosting, so this should be OK.

The m68k architecture aligns only to 16-bit boundaries, which can cause the align-to-32-bits check in __call_rcu() to trigger.

RCU contains code of the following forms: ACCESS_ONCE(x)++; ACCESS_ONCE(x) += y; ACCESS_ONCE(x) -= y; Now these constructs do operate correctly, but they really result in a pair of volatile accesses, one to do the load and another to do the store. This can be confusing, as the casual reader might well assume that (for example) gcc might generate a memory-to-memory add instruction for each of these three cases. In fact, gcc will do no such thing. Also, there is a good chance that the kernel will move to separate load and store variants of ACCESS_ONCE(), and constructs like the above could easily confuse both people and scripts attempting to make that sort of change. Finally, most of RCU's read-modify-write uses of ACCESS_ONCE() really only need the store to be volatile, so that the read-modify-write form might be misleading. This commit therefore changes the above forms in RCU so that each instance of ACCESS_ONCE() either does a load or a store, but not both. In a few cases, ACCESS_ONCE() was not critical, for example, for maintaining statisitics. In these cases, ACCESS_ONCE() has been dispensed with entirely.

In kernels built with CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL, tick_do_timer_cpu is constant once boot completes. Thus, there is no need to wrap it in ACCESS_ONCE() in code that is built only when CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL.

Commit ac1bea85 (Make cond_resched() report RCU quiescent states) fixed a problem where a CPU looping in the kernel with but one runnable task would give RCU CPU stall warnings, even if the in-kernel loop contained cond_resched() calls. Unfortunately, in so doing, it introduced performance regressions in Anton Blanchard's will-it-scale "open1" test. The problem appears to be not so much the increased cond_resched() path length as an increase in the rate at which grace periods complete, which increased per-update grace-period overhead. This commit takes a different approach to fixing this bug, mainly by moving the RCU-visible quiescent state from cond_resched() to rcu_note_context_switch(), and by further reducing the check to a simple non-zero test of a single per-CPU variable. However, this approach requires that the force-quiescent-state processing send resched IPIs to the offending CPUs. These will be sent only once the grace period has reached an age specified by the boot/sysfs parameter rcutree.jiffies_till_sched_qs, or once the grace period reaches an age halfway to the point at which RCU CPU stall warnings will be emitted, whichever comes first.

Currently, call_rcu() relies on implicit allocation and initialization for the debug-objects handling of RCU callbacks. If you hammer the kernel hard enough with Sasha's modified version of trinity, you can end up with the sl*b allocators recursing into themselves via this implicit call_rcu() allocation. This commit therefore exports the debug_init_rcu_head() and debug_rcu_head_free() functions, which permits the allocators to allocated and pre-initialize the debug-objects information, so that there no longer any need for call_rcu() to do that initialization, which in turn prevents the recursion into the memory allocators.

Commit 3fd091e7 ("[SCTP]: Remove multiple levels of msecs to jiffies conversions.") has silently changed permissions for rto_alpha and rto_beta knobs from 0644 to 0444. The purpose of this was to discourage users from tweaking rto_alpha and rto_beta knobs in production environments since they are key to correctly compute rtt/srtt. RFC4960 under section 6.3.1. RTO Calculation says regarding rto_alpha and rto_beta under rule C3 and C4: [...] C3) When a new RTT measurement R' is made, set RTTVAR <- (1 - RTO.Beta) * RTTVAR + RTO.Beta * |SRTT - R'| and SRTT <- (1 - RTO.Alpha) * SRTT + RTO.Alpha * R' Note: The value of SRTT used in the update to RTTVAR is its value before updating SRTT itself using the second assignment. After the computation, update RTO <- SRTT + 4 * RTTVAR. C4) When data is in flight and when allowed by rule C5 below, a new RTT measurement MUST be made each round trip. Furthermore, new RTT measurements SHOULD be made no more than once per round trip for a given destination transport address. There are two reasons for this recommendation: First, it appears that measuring more frequently often does not in practice yield any significant benefit [ALLMAN99]; second, if measurements are made more often, then the values of RTO.Alpha and RTO.Beta in rule C3 above should be adjusted so that SRTT and RTTVAR still adjust to changes at roughly the same rate (in terms of how many round trips it takes them to reflect new values) as they would if making only one measurement per round-trip and using RTO.Alpha and RTO.Beta as given in rule C3. However, the exact nature of these adjustments remains a research issue. [...] While it is discouraged to adjust rto_alpha and rto_beta and not further specified how to adjust them, the RFC also doesn't explicitly forbid it, but rather gives a RECOMMENDED default value (rto_alpha=3, rto_beta=2). We have a couple of users relying on the old permissions before they got changed. That said, if someone really has the urge to adjust them, we could allow it with a warning in the log.

Geert reported issues regarding checksum complete and UDP. The logic introduced in commit 7e3cead5 ("net: Save software checksum complete") is not correct. This patch: 1) Restores code in __skb_checksum_complete_header except for setting CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY. This function may be calculating checksum on something less than skb->len. 2) Adds saving checksum to __skb_checksum_complete. The full packet checksum 0..skb->len is calculated without adding in pseudo header. This value is saved in skb->csum and then the pseudo header is added to that to derive the checksum for validation. 3) In both __skb_checksum_complete_header and __skb_checksum_complete, set skb->csum_valid to whether checksum of zero was computed. This allows skb_csum_unnecessary to return true without changing to CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY which was done previously. 4) Copy new csum related bits in __copy_skb_header.

Name the unnamed union as u in order to fix build failure" Let's do this instead: there is only one place in the entire tree that steps into this breakage. Anon structs and unions work in older gcc versions; as the matter of fact, we have those in the tree - see e.g. struct ieee80211_tx_info in include/net/mac80211.h What doesn't work is handling their initializers: struct { int a; union { int b; char c; }; } x[2] = {{.a = 1, .c = 'a'}, {.a = 0, .b = 1}}; is the obvious syntax for initializer, perfectly fine for C11 and handled correctly by gcc-4.7 or later. Earlier versions, though, break on it - declaration is fine and so's access to fields (i.e. x[0].c = 'a'; would produce the right code), but members of the anon structs and unions are not inserted into the right namespace. Tellingly, those older versions will not barf on struct {int a; struct {int a;};}; - looks like they just have it hacked up somewhere around the handling of . and -> instead of doing the right thing. The easiest way to deal with that crap is to turn initialization of those fields (in the only place where we have such initializer of iov_iter) into plain assignment.

One is a simple build fix for bigendian hosts, one is to make "make vdso_install" work again, and the rest is about working around a bug in Google's Go language -- two are documentation patches that improves the sample code that the Go coders took, modified, and broke; the other two implements a workaround that keeps existing Go binaries from segfaulting at least" * 'x86-vdso-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: x86/vdso: Fix vdso_install x86/vdso: Hack to keep 64-bit Go programs working x86/vdso: Add PUT_LE to store little-endian values x86/vdso/doc: Make vDSO examples more portable x86/vdso/doc: Rename vdso_test.c to vdso_standalone_test_x86.c x86, vdso: Remove one final use of htole16()

Its too easy to add thousand of UDP sockets on a particular bucket, and slow down an innocent multicast receiver. Early demux is supposed to be an optimization, we should avoid spending too much time in it. It is interesting to note __udp4_lib_demux_lookup() only tries to match first socket in the chain. 10 is the threshold we already have in __udp4_lib_lookup() to switch to secondary hash.

When we mirror packets from a vxlan tunnel to other device, the mirror device should see the same packets (that is, without outer header). Because vxlan tunnel sets dev->hard_header_len, tcf_mirred() resets mac header back to outer mac, the mirror device actually sees packets with outer headers Vxlan tunnel should set dev->needed_headroom instead of dev->hard_header_len, like what other ip tunnels do. This fixes the above problem. Cc: "David S.

"make vdso_install" installs unstripped versions of the vdso objects for the benefit of the debugger. This was broken by checkin: 6f121e54 x86, vdso: Reimplement vdso.so preparation in build-time C The filenames are different now, so update the Makefile to cope. This still installs the 64-bit vdso as vdso64.so. We believe this will be okay, as the only known user is a patched gdb which is known to use build-ids, but if it turns out to be a problem we may have to add a link.

This patch contains several fixes for Scsi START_STOP_UNIT. The previous code did not account for signed vs. unsigned arithmetic which resulted in an invalid lowest power state caculation when the device only supports 1 power state. The code for Power Condition == 2 (Idle) was not following the spec. The spec calls for setting the device to specific power states, depending upon Power Condition Modifier, without accounting for the number of power states supported by the device. The code for Power Condition == 3 (Standby) was using a hard-coded '0' which is replaced with the macro POWER_STATE_0.

If this condition in end_extent_writepage() is false: if (tree->ops && tree->ops->writepage_end_io_hook) we will then test an uninitialized "ret" at: ret = ret < 0 ? ret : -EIO; The test for ret is for the case where ->writepage_end_io_hook failed, and we'd choose that ret as the error; but if there is no ->writepage_end_io_hook, nothing sets ret. Initializing ret to 0 should be sufficient; if writepage_end_io_hook wasn't set, (!uptodate) means non-zero err was passed in, so we choose -EIO in that case.
