      CacheFiles: Fix occasional EIO on call to vfs_unlink() · c61ea31d

      Fix an occasional EIO returned by a call to vfs_unlink():

      	[ 7296.813432] CacheFiles: File cache on md3 registered
      
      What happens is this:
      
       (1) A cached NFS file is seen to have become out of date, so NFS retires the
           object and immediately acquires a new object with the same key.
      
       (2) Retirement of the old object is done asynchronously - so the lookup/create
           to generate the new object may be done first.
      
           This can be a problem as the old object and the new object must exist at
           the same point in the backing filesystem (i.e. they must have the same
           pathname).
      
       (3) The lookup for the new object sees that a backing file already exists,
           checks to see whether it is valid and sees that it isn't.  It then deletes
           that file and creates a new one on disk.
      
       (4) The retirement phase for the old file is then performed.  It tries to
           delete the dentry it has, but ext4_unlink() returns -EIO because the inode
           attached to that dentry no longer matches the inode number associated with
           the filename in the parent directory.
      
      The trace below shows this quite well.
      
      	[md5sum] ==> __fscache_relinquish_cookie(ffff88002d12fb58{NFS.fh,ffff88002ce62100},1)
      	[md5sum] ==> __fscache_acquire_cookie({NFS.server},{NFS.fh},ffff88002ce62100)
      
      NFS has retired the old cookie and asked for a new one.
      
      	[kslowd] ==> fscache_object_state_machine({OBJ52,OBJECT_ACTIVE,24})
      	[kslowd] <== fscache_object_state_machine() [->OBJECT_DYING]
      	[kslowd] ==> fscache_object_state_machine({OBJ53,OBJECT_INIT,0})
      	[kslowd] <== fscache_object_state_machine() [->OBJECT_LOOKING_UP]
      	[kslowd] ==> fscache_object_state_machine({OBJ52,OBJECT_DYING,24})
      	[kslowd] <== fscache_object_state_machine() [->OBJECT_RECYCLING]
      
      The old object (OBJ52) is going through the terminal states to get rid of it,
      whilst the new object - (OBJ53) - is coming into being.
      
      	[kslowd] ==> fscache_object_state_machine({OBJ53,OBJECT_LOOKING_UP,0})
      	[kslowd] ==> cachefiles_walk_to_object({ffff88003029d8b8},OBJ53,@68,)
      	[kslowd] lookup '@68'
      	[kslowd] next -> ffff88002ce41bd0 positive
      	[kslowd] advance
      	[kslowd] lookup 'Es0g00og0_Nd_XCYe3BOzvXrsBLMlN6aw16M1htaA'
      	[kslowd] next -> ffff8800369faac8 positive
      
      The new object has looked up the subdir in which the file would be in (getting
      dentry ffff88002ce41bd0) and then looked up the file itself (getting dentry
      ffff8800369faac8).
      
      	[kslowd] validate 'Es0g00og0_Nd_XCYe3BOzvXrsBLMlN6aw16M1htaA'
      	[kslowd] ==> cachefiles_bury_object(,'@68','Es0g00og0_Nd_XCYe3BOzvXrsBLMlN6aw16M1htaA')
      	[kslowd] remove ffff8800369faac8 from ffff88002ce41bd0
      	[kslowd] unlink stale object
      	[kslowd] <== cachefiles_bury_object() = 0
      
      It then checks the file's xattrs to see if it's valid.  NFS says that the
      auxiliary data indicate the file is out of date (obvious to us - that's why NFS
      ditched the old version and got a new one).  CacheFiles then deletes the old
      file (dentry ffff8800369faac8).
      
      	[kslowd] redo lookup
      	[kslowd] lookup 'Es0g00og0_Nd_XCYe3BOzvXrsBLMlN6aw16M1htaA'
      	[kslowd] next -> ffff88002cd94288 negative
      	[kslowd] create -> ffff88002cd94288{ffff88002cdaf238{ino=148247}}
      
      CacheFiles then redoes the lookup and gets a negative result in a new dentry
      (ffff88002cd94288) which it then creates a file for.
      
      	[kslowd] ==> cachefiles_mark_object_active(,OBJ53)
      	[kslowd] <== cachefiles_mark_object_active() = 0
      	[kslowd] === OBTAINED_OBJECT ===
      	[kslowd] <== cachefiles_walk_to_object() = 0 [148247]
      	[kslowd] <== fscache_object_state_machine() [->OBJECT_AVAILABLE]
      
      The new object is then marked active and the state machine moves to the
      available state - at which point NFS can start filling the object.
      
      	[kslowd] ==> fscache_object_state_machine({OBJ52,OBJECT_RECYCLING,20})
      	[kslowd] ==> fscache_release_object()
      	[kslowd] ==> cachefiles_drop_object({OBJ52,2})
      	[kslowd] ==> cachefiles_delete_object(,OBJ52{ffff8800369faac8})
      
      The old object, meanwhile, goes on with being retired.  If allocation occurs
      first, cachefiles_delete_object() has to wait for dir->d_inode->i_mutex to
      become available before it can continue.
      
      	[kslowd] ==> cachefiles_bury_object(,'@68','Es0g00og0_Nd_XCYe3BOzvXrsBLMlN6aw16M1htaA')
      	[kslowd] remove ffff8800369faac8 from ffff88002ce41bd0
      	[kslowd] unlink stale object
      	EXT4-fs warning (device sda6): ext4_unlink: Inode number mismatch in unlink (148247!=148193)
      	CacheFiles: I/O Error: Unlink failed
      	FS-Cache: Cache cachefiles stopped due to I/O error
      
      CacheFiles then tries to delete the file for the old object, but the dentry it
      has (ffff8800369faac8) no longer points to a valid inode for that directory
      entry, and so ext4_unlink() returns -EIO when de->inode does not match i_ino.
      
      	[kslowd] <== cachefiles_bury_object() = -5
      	[kslowd] <== cachefiles_delete_object() = -5
      	[kslowd] <== fscache_object_state_machine() [->OBJECT_DEAD]
      	[kslowd] ==> fscache_object_state_machine({OBJ53,OBJECT_AVAILABLE,0})
      	[kslowd] <== fscache_object_state_machine() [->OBJECT_ACTIVE]
      
      (Note that the above trace includes extra information beyond that produced by
      the upstream code).
      
      The fix is to note when an object that is being retired has had its object
      deleted preemptively by a replacement object that is being created, and to
      skip the second removal attempt in such a case.

      Duplicate entries ended up acpisleep_dmi_table[] by accident.
      They don't hurt functionality, but they are ugly, so let's get
      rid of them.

      hwmon: (applesmc) Correct sysfs fan error handling · 0559a538
      Henrik Rydberg authored
      The current code will not remove the sysfs files for fan numbers three
      and up. Also, upon exit, fans one and two are removed regardless of
      their existence.  This patch cleans up the sysfs error handling for
      the fans.

      kprobes/x86: Fix removed int3 checking order · 829e9245
      Masami Hiramatsu authored
      Fix kprobe/x86 to check removed int3 when failing to get kprobe
      from hlist. Since we have a time window between checking int3
      exists on probed address and getting kprobe on that address,
      we can have following scenario:
      
       -------
       CPU1                     CPU2
       hit int3
       check int3 exists
                                remove int3
                                remove kprobe from hlist
       get kprobe from hlist
       no kprobe->OOPS!
       -------
      
      This patch moves int3 checking if there is no kprobe on that
      address for fixing this problem as follows:
      
       ------
       CPU1                     CPU2
       hit int3
                                remove int3
                                remove kprobe from hlist
       get kprobe from hlist
       no kprobe->check int3 exists
                ->rollback&retry
       ------

      perf: Fix static strings treated like dynamic ones · de068ec0
      Frederic Weisbecker authored
      The raw_field_ptr() helper, used to retrieve the address of a field
      inside a trace event, treats every strings as if they were dynamic
      ie: having a secondary level of indirection to retrieve their
      contents.
      
      FIELD_IS_STRING doesn't mean FIELD_IS_DYNAMIC, we only need to
      compute the secondary dereference for the latter case.
      
      This fixes perf sched segfaults, bad cmdline report and may be
      some other bugs.
