Pull block fixes from Jens Axboe: "Here's a pull request for 4.11-rc, fixing a set of issues mostly centered around the new scheduling framework. These have been brewing for a while, but split up into what we absolutely need in 4.11, and what we can defer until 4.12. These are well tested, on both single queue and multiqueue setups, and with and without shared tags. They fix several hangs that have happened in testing. This is obviously larger than I would have preferred at this point in time, but I don't think we can shave much off this and still get the desired results. In detail, this pull request contains: - a set of five fixes for NVMe, mostly from Christoph and one from Roland. - a series from Bart, fixing issues with dm-mq and SCSI shared tags and scheduling. Note that one of those patches commit messages may read like an optimization, but it is in fact an important fix for queue restarts in particular. - a series from Omar, most importantly fixing a hang with multiple hardware queues when we fail to get a driver tag.

ops->show() can return a negative error code. Commit 65da3484 ("sysfs: correctly handle short reads on PREALLOC attrs.") (in v4.4) caused this to be stored in an unsigned 'size_t' variable, so errors would look like large numbers. As a result, if an error is returned, sysfs_kf_read() will return the value of 'count', typically 4096. Commit 17d0774f ("sysfs: correctly handle read offset on PREALLOC attrs") (in v4.8) extended this error to use the unsigned large 'len' as a size for memmove(). Consequently, if ->show returns an error, then the first read() on the sysfs file will return 4096 and could return uninitialized memory to user-space. If the application performs a subsequent read, this will trigger a memmove() with extremely large count, and is likely to crash the machine is bizarre ways. This bug can currently only be triggered by reading from an md sysfs attribute declared with __ATTR_PREALLOC() during the brief period between when mddev_put() deletes an mddev from the ->all_mddevs list, and when mddev_delayed_delete() - which is scheduled on a workqueue - completes. Before this, an error won't be returned by the ->show() After this, the ->show() won't be called. I can reproduce it reliably only by putting delay like usleep_range(500000,700000); early in mddev_delayed_delete(). Then after creating an md device md0 run echo clear > /sys/block/md0/md/array_state; cat /sys/block/md0/md/array_state The bug can be triggered without the usleep.

vfs_llseek will check whether the file mode has FMODE_LSEEK, no return failure. But ashmem can be lseek, so add FMODE_LSEEK to ashmem file. Comment From Greg Hackmann: ashmem_llseek() passes the llseek() call through to the backing shmem file. 91360b02 ("ashmem: use vfs_llseek()") changed this from directly calling the file's llseek() op into a VFS layer call. This also adds a check for the FMODE_LSEEK bit, so without that bit ashmem_llseek() now always fails with -ESPIPE.

Pull audit cleanup from Paul Moore: "A week later than I had hoped, but as promised, here is the audit uninline-fix we talked about during the last audit pull request. The patch is slightly different than what we originally discussed as it made more sense to keep the audit_signal_info() function in auditsc.c rather than move it and bunch of other related variables/definitions into audit.c/audit.h. At some point in the future I need to look at how the audit code is organized across kernel/audit*, I suspect we could do things a bit better, but it doesn't seem like a -rc release is a good place for that ;) Regardless, this patch passes our tests without problem and looks good for v4.11" * 'stable-4.11' of git://git.infradead.org/users/pcmoore/audit: audit: move audit_signal_info() into kernel/auditsc.c

We currently have 2 specific WQ_RECLAIM workqueues in the mm code. vmstat_wq for updating pcp stats and lru_add_drain_wq dedicated to drain per cpu lru caches. This seems more than necessary because both can run on a single WQ. Both do not block on locks requiring a memory allocation nor perform any allocations themselves. We will save one rescuer thread this way. On the other hand drain_all_pages() queues work on the system wq which doesn't have rescuer and so this depend on memory allocation (when all workers are stuck allocating and new ones cannot be created). Initially we thought this would be more of a theoretical problem but Hugh Dickins has reported: : 4.11-rc has been giving me hangs after hours of swapping load. At : first they looked like memory leaks ("fork: Cannot allocate memory"); : but for no good reason I happened to do "cat /proc/sys/vm/stat_refresh" : before looking at /proc/meminfo one time, and the stat_refresh stuck : in D state, waiting for completion of flush_work like many kworkers. : kthreadd waiting for completion of flush_work in drain_all_pages(). This worker should be using WQ_RECLAIM as well in order to guarantee a forward progress. We can reuse the same one as for lru draining and vmstat.

While running generic/340 in my test setup I hit the following race. It can happen with kernels that support FS DAX PMDs, so v4.10 thru v4.11-rc5. Thread 1 Thread 2 -------- -------- dax_iomap_pmd_fault() grab_mapping_entry() spin_lock_irq() get_unlocked_mapping_entry() 'entry' is NULL, can't call lock_slot() spin_unlock_irq() radix_tree_preload() dax_iomap_pmd_fault() grab_mapping_entry() spin_lock_irq() get_unlocked_mapping_entry() ... lock_slot() spin_unlock_irq() dax_pmd_insert_mapping() <inserts a PMD mapping> spin_lock_irq() __radix_tree_insert() fails with -EEXIST <fall back to 4k fault, and die horribly when inserting a 4k entry where a PMD exists> The issue is that we have to drop mapping->tree_lock while calling radix_tree_preload(), but since we didn't have a radix tree entry to lock (unlike in the pmd_downgrade case) we have no protection against Thread 2 coming along and inserting a PMD at the same index. For 4k entries we handled this with a special-case response to -EEXIST coming from the __radix_tree_insert(), but this doesn't save us for PMDs because the -EEXIST case can also mean that we collided with a 4k entry in the radix tree at a different index, but one that is covered by our PMD range. So, correctly handle both the 4k and 2M collision cases by explicitly re-checking the radix tree for an entry at our index once we reacquire mapping->tree_lock. This patch has made it through a clean xfstests run with the current v4.11-rc5 based linux/master, and it also ran generic/340 500 times in a loop. It used to fail within the first 10 iterations.

In PT_SEIZED + LISTEN mode STOP/CONT signals cause a wakeup against __TASK_TRACED. If this races with the ptrace_unfreeze_traced at the end of a PTRACE_LISTEN, this can wake the task /after/ the check against __TASK_TRACED, but before the reset of state to TASK_TRACED. This causes it to instead clobber TASK_WAKING, allowing a subsequent wakeup against TRACED while the task is still on the rq wake_list, corrupting it. Oleg said: "The kernel can crash or this can lead to other hard-to-debug problems. In short, "task->state = TASK_TRACED" in ptrace_unfreeze_traced() assumes that nobody else can wake it up, but PTRACE_LISTEN breaks the contract.

When __{start,end}_ro_after_init is referenced from C code, we run into the following build errors on blackfin: kernel/extable.c:169: undefined reference to `__start_ro_after_init' kernel/extable.c:169: undefined reference to `__end_ro_after_init' The build error is due to the fact that blackfin is one of the few arches that prepends an underscore '_' to all symbols defined in C. Fix this by wrapping __{start,end}_ro_after_init in vmlinux.lds.h with VMLINUX_SYMBOL(), which adds the necessary prefix for arches that have HAVE_UNDERSCORE_SYMBOL_PREFIX.

fdinfo for userfault file descriptor reports UFFD_API_FEATURES. Up until recently, the UFFD_API_FEATURES was defined as 0, therefore corresponding field in fdinfo always contained zero. Now, with introduction of several additional features, UFFD_API_FEATURES is not longer 0 and it seems better to report actual features requested for the userfaultfd object described by the fdinfo. First, the applications that were using userfault will still see zero at the features field in fdinfo. Next, reporting actual features rather than available features, gives clear indication of what userfault features are used by an application.

Doug Smythies reports oops with KSM in this backtrace, I've been seeing the same: page_vma_mapped_walk+0xe6/0x5b0 page_referenced_one+0x91/0x1a0 rmap_walk_ksm+0x100/0x190 rmap_walk+0x4f/0x60 page_referenced+0x149/0x170 shrink_active_list+0x1c2/0x430 shrink_node_memcg+0x67a/0x7a0 shrink_node+0xe1/0x320 kswapd+0x34b/0x720 Just as observed in commit 4b0ece6f ("mm: migrate: fix remove_migration_pte() for ksm pages"), you cannot use page->index calculations on ksm pages. page_vma_mapped_walk() is relying on __vma_address(), where a ksm page can lead it off the end of the page table, and into whatever nonsense is in the next page, ending as an oops inside check_pte()'s pte_page(). KSM tells page_vma_mapped_walk() exactly where to look for the page, it does not need any page->index calculation: and that's so also for all the normal and file and anon pages - just not for THPs and their subpages. Get out early in most cases: instead of a PageKsm test, move down the earlier not-THP-page test, as suggested by Kirill. I'm also slightly worried that this loop can stray into other vmas, so added a vm_end test to prevent surprises; though I have not imagined anything worse than a very contrived case, in which a page mlocked in the next vma might be reclaimed because it is not mlocked in this vma.

Without this fix (and another to the userspace component itself described later), the kernel will be unable to process any OrangeFS requests after the userspace component is restarted (due to a crash or at the administrator's behest). The bug here is that inside orangefs_remount, the orangefs_request_mutex is locked. When the userspace component restarts while the filesystem is mounted, it sends a ORANGEFS_DEV_REMOUNT_ALL ioctl to the device, which causes the kernel to send it a few requests aimed at synchronizing the state between the two. While this is happening the orangefs_request_mutex is locked to prevent any other requests going through. This is only half of the bugfix. The other half is in the userspace component which outright ignores(!) requests made before it considers the filesystem remounted, which is after the ioctl returns. Of course the ioctl doesn't return until after the userspace component responds to the request it ignores. The userspace component has been changed to allow ORANGEFS_VFS_OP_FEATURES regardless of the mount status. Mike Marshall says: "I've tested this patch against the fixed userspace part. This patch is real important, I hope it can make it into 4.11...

To improve scalability, if hardware queues are shared, restart a single hardware queue in round-robin fashion. Rename blk_mq_sched_restart_queues() to reflect the new semantics. Remove blk_mq_sched_mark_restart_queue() because this function has no callers. Remove flag QUEUE_FLAG_RESTART because this patch removes the code that uses this flag.

While running the srp-test software I noticed that request processing stalls sporadically at the beginning of a test, namely when mkfs is run against a dm-mpath device. Every time when that happened the following command was sufficient to resume request processing: echo run >/sys/kernel/debug/block/dm-0/state This patch avoids that such request processing stalls occur. The test I ran is as follows: while srp-test/run_tests -d -r 30 -t 02-mq; do :; done Signed-off-by: Bart Van Assche <bart.vanassche@sandisk.com> Cc: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com> Cc: dm-devel@redhat.com Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>

If a .queue_rq() function returns BLK_MQ_RQ_QUEUE_BUSY then the block driver that implements that function is responsible for rerunning the hardware queue once requests can be queued again successfully. commit 52d7f1b5 ("blk-mq: Avoid that requeueing starts stopped queues") removed the blk_mq_stop_hw_queue() call from scsi_queue_rq() for the BLK_MQ_RQ_QUEUE_BUSY case. Hence change all calls to functions that are intended to rerun a busy queue such that these examine all hardware queues instead of only stopped queues. Since no other functions than scsi_internal_device_block() and scsi_internal_device_unblock() should ever stop or restart a SCSI queue, change the blk_mq_delay_queue() call into a blk_mq_delay_run_hw_queue() call.
