      page waitqueue: always add new entries at the end · 9c3a815f
      Linus Torvalds authored
      Commit 3510ca20 ("Minor page waitqueue cleanups") made the page
      queue code always add new waiters to the back of the queue, which helps
      upcoming patches to batch the wakeups for some horrid loads where the
      wait queues grow to thousands of entries.
      
      However, I forgot about the nasrt add_page_wait_queue() special case
      code that is only used by the cachefiles code.  That one still continued
      to add the new wait queue entries at the beginning of the list.
      
      Fix it, because any sane batched wakeup will require that we don't
      suddenly start getting new entries at the beginning of the list that we
      already handled in a previous batch.
      
      [ The current code always does the whole list while holding the lock, so
        wait queue ordering doesn't matter for correctness, but even then it's
        better to add later entries at the end from a fairness standpoint ]

      cpumask: fix spurious cpumask_of_node() on non-NUMA multi-node configs · b339752d
      Tejun Heo authored
      When !NUMA, cpumask_of_node(@node) equals cpu_online_mask regardless of
      @node.  The assumption seems that if !NUMA, there shouldn't be more than
      one node and thus reporting cpu_online_mask regardless of @node is
      correct.  However, that assumption was broken years ago to support
      DISCONTIGMEM and whether a system has multiple nodes or not is
      separately controlled by NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES.
      
      This means that, on a system with !NUMA && NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES,
      cpumask_of_node() will report cpu_online_mask for all possible nodes,
      indicating that the CPUs are associated with multiple nodes which is an
      impossible configuration.
      
      This bug has been around forever but doesn't look like it has caused any
      noticeable symptoms.  However, it triggers a WARN recently added to
      workqueue to verify NUMA affinity configuration.
      
      Fix it by reporting empty cpumask on non-zero nodes if !NUMA.

      ARCv2: SMP: Mask only private-per-core IRQ lines on boot at core intc · e8206d2b
      Alexey Brodkin authored
      Recent commit a8ec3ee8 "arc: Mask individual IRQ lines during core
      INTC init" breaks interrupt handling on ARCv2 SMP systems.
      
      That commit masked all interrupts at onset, as some controllers on some
      boards (customer as well as internal), would assert interrutps early
      before any handlers were installed.  For SMP systems, the masking was
      done at each cpu's core-intc.  Later, when the IRQ was actually
      requested, it was unmasked, but only on the requesting cpu.
      
      For "common" interrupts, which were wired up from the 2nd level IDU
      intc, this was as issue as they needed to be enabled on ALL the cpus
      (given that IDU IRQs are by default served Round Robin across cpus)
      
      So fix that by NOT masking "common" interrupts at core-intc, but instead
      at the 2nd level IDU intc (latter already being done in idu_of_init())

      fs/select: Fix memory corruption in compat_get_fd_set() · 79de3cbe
      Helge Deller authored
      Commit 464d6242 ("select: switch compat_{get,put}_fd_set() to
      compat_{get,put}_bitmap()") changed the calculation on how many bytes
      need to be zeroed when userspace handed over a NULL pointer for a fdset
      array in the select syscall.
      
      The calculation was changed in compat_get_fd_set() wrongly from
      	memset(fdset, 0, ((nr + 1) & ~1)*sizeof(compat_ulong_t));
      to
      	memset(fdset, 0, ALIGN(nr, BITS_PER_LONG));
      
      The ALIGN(nr, BITS_PER_LONG) calculates the number of _bits_ which need
      to be zeroed in the target fdset array (rounded up to the next full bits
      for an unsigned long).
      
      But the memset() call expects the number of _bytes_ to be zeroed.
      
      This leads to clearing more memory than wanted (on the stack area or
      even at kmalloc()ed memory areas) and to random kernel crashes as we
      have seen them on the parisc platform.
      
      The correct change should have been
      
      	memset(fdset, 0, (ALIGN(nr, BITS_PER_LONG) / BITS_PER_LONG) * BYTES_PER_LONG);
      
      which is the same as can be archieved with a call to
      
      	zero_fd_set(nr, fdset).

      Avoid page waitqueue race leaving possible page locker waiting · a8b169af
      Linus Torvalds authored
      The "lock_page_killable()" function waits for exclusive access to the
      page lock bit using the WQ_FLAG_EXCLUSIVE bit in the waitqueue entry
      set.
      
      That means that if it gets woken up, other waiters may have been
      skipped.
      
      That, in turn, means that if it sees the page being unlocked, it *must*
      take that lock and return success, even if a lethal signal is also
      pending.
      
      So instead of checking for lethal signals first, we need to check for
      them after we've checked the actual bit that we were waiting for.  Even
      if that might then delay the killing of the process.
      
      This matches the order of the old "wait_on_bit_lock()" infrastructure
      that the page locking used to use (and is still used in a few other
      areas).
      
      Note that if we still return an error after having unsuccessfully tried
      to acquire the page lock, that is ok: that means that some other thread
      was able to get ahead of us and lock the page, and when that other
      thread then unlocks the page, the wakeup event will be repeated.  So any
      other pending waiters will now get properly woken up.

      Minor page waitqueue cleanups · 3510ca20
      Linus Torvalds authored
      Tim Chen and Kan Liang have been battling a customer load that shows
      extremely long page wakeup lists.  The cause seems to be constant NUMA
      migration of a hot page that is shared across a lot of threads, but the
      actual root cause for the exact behavior has not been found.
      
      Tim has a patch that batches the wait list traversal at wakeup time, so
      that we at least don't get long uninterruptible cases where we traverse
      and wake up thousands of processes and get nasty latency spikes.  That
      is likely 4.14 material, but we're still discussing the page waitqueue
      specific parts of it.
      
      In the meantime, I've tried to look at making the page wait queues less
      expensive, and failing miserably.  If you have thousands of threads
      waiting for the same page, it will be painful.  We'll need to try to
      figure out the NUMA balancing issue some day, in addition to avoiding
      the excessive spinlock hold times.
      
      That said, having tried to rewrite the page wait queues, I can at least
      fix up some of the braindamage in the current situation. In particular:
      
       (a) we don't want to continue walking the page wait list if the bit
           we're waiting for already got set again (which seems to be one of
           the patterns of the bad load).  That makes no progress and just
           causes pointless cache pollution chasing the pointers.
      
       (b) we don't want to put the non-locking waiters always on the front of
           the queue, and the locking waiters always on the back.  Not only is
           that unfair, it means that we wake up thousands of reading threads
           that will just end up being blocked by the writer later anyway.
      
      Also add a comment about the layout of 'struct wait_page_key' - there is
      an external user of it in the cachefiles code that means that it has to
      match the layout of 'struct wait_bit_key' in the two first members.  It
      so happens to match, because 'struct page *' and 'unsigned long *' end
      up having the same values simply because the page flags are the first
      member in struct page.

      Clarify (and fix) MAX_LFS_FILESIZE macros · 0cc3b0ec
      Linus Torvalds authored
      We have a MAX_LFS_FILESIZE macro that is meant to be filled in by
      filesystems (and other IO targets) that know they are 64-bit clean and
      don't have any 32-bit limits in their IO path.
      
      It turns out that our 32-bit value for that limit was bogus.  On 32-bit,
      the VM layer is limited by the page cache to only 32-bit index values,
      but our logic for that was confusing and actually wrong.  We used to
      define that value to
      
      	(((loff_t)PAGE_SIZE << (BITS_PER_LONG-1))-1)
      
      which is actually odd in several ways: it limits the index to 31 bits,
      and then it limits files so that they can't have data in that last byte
      of a page that has the highest 31-bit index (ie page index 0x7fffffff).
      
      Neither of those limitations make sense.  The index is actually the full
      32 bit unsigned value, and we can use that whole full page.  So the
      maximum size of the file would logically be "PAGE_SIZE << BITS_PER_LONG".
      
      However, we do wan tto avoid the maximum index, because we have code
      that iterates over the page indexes, and we don't want that code to
      overflow.  So the maximum size of a file on a 32-bit host should
      actually be one page less than the full 32-bit index.
      
      So the actual limit is ULONG_MAX << PAGE_SHIFT.  That means that we will
      not actually be using the page of that last index (ULONG_MAX), but we
      can grow a file up to that limit.
      
      The wrong value of MAX_LFS_FILESIZE actually caused problems for Doug
      Nazar, who was still using a 32-bit host, but with a 9.7TB 2 x RAID5
      volume.  It turns out that our old MAX_LFS_FILESIZE was 8TiB (well, one
      byte less), but the actual true VM limit is one page less than 16TiB.
      
      This was invisible until commit c2a9737f ("vfs,mm: fix a dead loop
      in truncate_inode_pages_range()"), which started applying that
      MAX_LFS_FILESIZE limit to block devices too.
      
      NOTE! On 64-bit, the page index isn't a limiter at all, and the limit is
      actually just the offset type itself (loff_t), which is signed.  But for
      clarity, on 64-bit, just use the maximum signed value, and don't make
      people have to count the number of 'f' characters in the hex constant.
      
      So just use LLONG_MAX for the 64-bit case.  That was what the value had
      been before too, just written out as a hex constant.
      
      Fixes: c2a9737f ("vfs,mm: fix a dead loop in truncate_inode_pages_range()")
