      mm: make wait_on_page_writeback() wait for multiple pending writebacks · c2407cf7
      Linus Torvalds authored
      Ever since commit 2a9127fc ("mm: rewrite wait_on_page_bit_common()
      logic") we've had some very occasional reports of BUG_ON(PageWriteback)
      in write_cache_pages(), which we thought we already fixed in commit
      073861ed ("mm: fix VM_BUG_ON(PageTail) and BUG_ON(PageWriteback)").
      
      But syzbot just reported another one, even with that commit in place.
      
      And it turns out that there's a simpler way to trigger the BUG_ON() than
      the one Hugh found with page re-use.  It all boils down to the fact that
      the page writeback is ostensibly serialized by the page lock, but that
      isn't actually really true.
      
      Yes, the people _setting_ writeback all do so under the page lock, but
      the actual clearing of the bit - and waking up any waiters - happens
      without any page lock.
      
      This gives us this fairly simple race condition:
      
        CPU1 = end previous writeback
        CPU2 = start new writeback under page lock
        CPU3 = write_cache_pages()
      
        CPU1          CPU2            CPU3
        ----          ----            ----
      
        end_page_writeback()
          test_clear_page_writeback(page)
          ... delayed...
      
                      lock_page();
                      set_page_writeback()
                      unlock_page()
      
                                      lock_page()
                                      wait_on_page_writeback();
      
          wake_up_page(page, PG_writeback);
          .. wakes up CPU3 ..
      
                                      BUG_ON(PageWriteback(page));
      
      where the BUG_ON() happens because we woke up the PG_writeback bit
      becasue of the _previous_ writeback, but a new one had already been
      started because the clearing of the bit wasn't actually atomic wrt the
      actual wakeup or serialized by the page lock.
      
      The reason this didn't use to happen was that the old logic in waiting
      on a page bit would just loop if it ever saw the bit set again.
      
      The nice proper fix would probably be to get rid of the whole "wait for
      writeback to clear, and then set it" logic in the writeback path, and
      replace it with an atomic "wait-to-set" (ie the same as we have for page
      locking: we set the page lock bit with a single "lock_page()", not with
      "wait for lock bit to clear and then set it").
      
      However, out current model for writeback is that the waiting for the
      writeback bit is done by the generic VFS code (ie write_cache_pages()),
      but the actual setting of the writeback bit is done much later by the
      filesystem ".writepages()" function.
      
      IOW, to make the writeback bit have that same kind of "wait-to-set"
      behavior as we have for page locking, we'd have to change our roughly
      ~50 different writeback functions.  Painful.
      
      Instead, just make "wait_on_page_writeback()" loop on the very unlikely
      situation that the PG_writeback bit is still set, basically re-instating
      the old behavior.  This is very non-optimal in case of contention, but
      since we only ever set the bit under the page lock, that situation is
      controlled.

       "This is a load of driver fixes (12 ufs, 1 mpt3sas, 1 cxgbi).
      
        The big core two fixes are for power management ("block: Do not accept
        any requests while suspended" and "block: Fix a race in the runtime
        power management code") which finally sorts out the resume problems
        we've occasionally been having.
      
        To make the resume fix, there are seven necessary precursors which
        effectively renames REQ_PREEMPT to REQ_PM, so every "special" request
        in block is automatically a power management exempt one.
      
        All of the non-PM preempt cases are removed except for the one in the
        SCSI Parallel Interface (spi) domain validation which is a genuine
        case where we have to run requests at high priority to validate the
        bus so this becomes an autopm get/put protected request"

      depmod: handle the case of /sbin/depmod without /sbin in PATH · cedd1862
      Linus Torvalds authored
      Commit 436e980e ("kbuild: don't hardcode depmod path") stopped
      hard-coding the path of depmod, but in the process caused trouble for
      distributions that had that /sbin location, but didn't have it in the
      PATH (generally because /sbin is limited to the super-user path).
      
      Work around it for now by just adding /sbin to the end of PATH in the
      depmod.sh script.
