      vfs: Revert spurious fix to spinning prevention in prune_icache_sb · 5b55d708
      Suleiman Souhlal authored 
      Revert commit 62a3ddef ("vfs: fix spinning prevention in prune_icache_sb").

This commit doesn't look right: since we are looking at the tail of the
list (sb->s_inode_lru.prev) if we want to skip an inode, we should put
it back at the head of the list instead of the tail, otherwise we will
keep spinning on it.

Discovered when investigating why prune_icache_sb came top in perf
reports of a swapping load.

      kobject: fix kset_find_obj() race with concurrent last kobject_put() · a49b7e82
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      Anatol Pomozov identified a race condition that hits module unloading
and re-loading.  To quote Anatol:

 "This is a race codition that exists between kset_find_obj() and
  kobject_put().  kset_find_obj() might return kobject that has refcount
  equal to 0 if this kobject is freeing by kobject_put() in other
  thread.

  Here is timeline for the crash in case if kset_find_obj() searches for
  an object tht nobody holds and other thread is doing kobject_put() on
  the same kobject:

    THREAD A (calls kset_find_obj())     THREAD B (calls kobject_put())
    splin_lock()
                                         atomic_dec_return(kobj->kref), counter gets zero here
                                         ... starts kobject cleanup ....
                                         spin_lock() // WAIT thread A in kobj_kset_leave()
    iterate over kset->list
    atomic_inc(kobj->kref) (counter becomes 1)
    spin_unlock()
                                         spin_lock() // taken
                                         // it does not know that thread A increased counter so it
                                         remove obj from list
                                         spin_unlock()
                                         vfree(module) // frees module object with containing kobj

    // kobj points to freed memory area!!
    kobject_put(kobj) // OOPS!!!!

  The race above happens because module.c tries to use kset_find_obj()
  when somebody unloads module.  The module.c code was introduced in
  commit 6494a93d"

Anatol supplied a patch specific for module.c that worked around the
problem by simply not using kset_find_obj() at all, but rather than make
a local band-aid, this just fixes kset_find_obj() to be thread-safe
using the proper model of refusing the get a new reference if the
refcount has already dropped to zero.

See examples of this proper refcount handling not only in the kref
documentation, but in various other equivalent uses of this pattern by
grepping for atomic_inc_not_zero().

[ Side note: the module race does indicate that module loading and
  unloading is not properly serialized wrt sysfs information using the
  module mutex.  That may require further thought, but this is the
  correct fix at the kobject layer regardless. ]

      Btrfs: make sure nbytes are right after log replay · 4bc4bee4
      Josef Bacik authored 
      While trying to track down a tree log replay bug I noticed that fsck was always
complaining about nbytes not being right for our fsynced file.  That is because
the new fsync stuff doesn't wait for ordered extents to complete, so the inodes
nbytes are not necessarily updated properly when we log it.  So to fix this we
need to set nbytes to whatever it is on the inode that is on disk, so when we
replay the extents we can just add the bytes that are being added as we replay
the extent.  This makes it work for the case that we have the wrong nbytes or
the case that we logged everything and nbytes is actually correct.  With this
I'm no longer getting nbytes errors out of btrfsck.

      x86-32: Fix possible incomplete TLB invalidate with PAE pagetables · 1de14c3c
      Dave Hansen authored 
      This patch attempts to fix:

	https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56461

The symptom is a crash and messages like this:

	chrome: Corrupted page table at address 34a03000
	*pdpt = 0000000000000000 *pde = 0000000000000000
	Bad pagetable: 000f [#1] PREEMPT SMP

Ingo guesses this got introduced by commit 611ae8e3 ("x86/tlb:
enable tlb flush range support for x86") since that code started to free
unused pagetables.

On x86-32 PAE kernels, that new code has the potential to free an entire
PMD page and will clear one of the four page-directory-pointer-table
(aka pgd_t entries).

The hardware aggressively "caches" these top-level entries and invlpg
does not actually affect the CPU's copy.  If we clear one we *HAVE* to
do a full TLB flush, otherwise we might continue using a freed pmd page.
(note, we do this properly on the population side in pud_populate()).

This patch tracks whenever we clear one of these entries in the 'struct
mmu_gather', and ensures that we follow up with a full tlb flush.

BTW, I disassembled and checked that:

	if (tlb->fullmm == 0)
and
	if (!tlb->fullmm && !tlb->need_flush_all)

generate essentially the same code, so there should be zero impact there
to the !PAE case.

      tracing: Fix possible NULL pointer dereferences · 6a76f8c0
      Namhyung Kim authored 
      Currently set_ftrace_pid and set_graph_function files use seq_lseek
for their fops.  However seq_open() is called only for FMODE_READ in
the fops->open() so that if an user tries to seek one of those file
when she open it for writing, it sees NULL seq_file and then panic.

It can be easily reproduced with following command:

  $ cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
  $ echo 1234 | sudo tee -a set_ftrace_pid

In this example, GNU coreutils' tee opens the file with fopen(, "a")
and then the fopen() internally calls lseek().

      kthread: Prevent unpark race which puts threads on the wrong cpu · f2530dc7
      Thomas Gleixner authored 
      The smpboot threads rely on the park/unpark mechanism which binds per
cpu threads on a particular core. Though the functionality is racy:

CPU0	       	 	CPU1  	     	    CPU2
unpark(T)				    wake_up_process(T)
  clear(SHOULD_PARK)	T runs
			leave parkme() due to !SHOULD_PARK  
  bind_to(CPU2)		BUG_ON(wrong CPU)						    

We cannot let the tasks move themself to the target CPU as one of
those tasks is actually the migration thread itself, which requires
that it starts running on the target cpu right away.

The solution to this problem is to prevent wakeups in park mode which
are not from unpark(). That way we can guarantee that the association
of the task to the target cpu is working correctly.

Add a new task state (TASK_PARKED) which prevents other wakeups and
use this state explicitly for the unpark wakeup.

Peter noticed: Also, since the task state is visible to userspace and
all the parked tasks are still in the PID space, its a good hint in ps
and friends that these tasks aren't really there for the moment.

The migration thread has another related issue.

CPU0	      	     	 CPU1
Bring up CPU2
create_thread(T)
park(T)
 wait_for_completion()
			 parkme()
			 complete()
sched_set_stop_task()
			 schedule(TASK_PARKED)

The sched_set_stop_task() call is issued while the task is on the
runqueue of CPU1 and that confuses the hell out of the stop_task class
on that cpu. So we need the same synchronizaion before
sched_set_stop_task().

      When CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is set page table updates made by
kernel_map_pages() are not made visible (via TLB flush)
immediately if lazy MMU is on. In environments that support lazy
MMU (e.g. Xen) this may lead to fatal page faults, for example,
when zap_pte_range() needs to allocate pages in
__tlb_remove_page() -> tlb_next_batch().
