If the rcutorture SRCU output exceeds 4096 bytes, for example, if you have more than about 75 CPUs, it will overflow the current statically allocated buffer. This commit therefore replaces this static buffer with a dynamically buffer whose size is based on the number of CPUs. Benefits: - Avoids both buffer overflow and output truncation. - Handles an arbitrarily large number of CPUs. - Straightforward implementation. Shortcomings: - Some memory is wasted: 1 cpu now comsumes 50 - 60 bytes, and this patch provides 200 bytes. Therefore, for 1K CPUs, roughly 100KB of memory will be wasted. However, the memory is freed immediately after printing, so this wastage should not be a problem in practice. Testing (Fedora16 2 CPUs, 2GB RAM x86_64): - as module, with/without "torture_type=srcu". - build-in not boot runnable, with/without "torture_type=srcu". - build-in let boot runnable, with/without "torture_type=srcu".

Whenever a CPU receives a scheduling-clock interrupt, RCU checks to see if the RCU core needs anything from this CPU. If so, RCU raises RCU_SOFTIRQ to carry out any needed processing. This approach has worked well historically, but it is undesirable on NO_HZ_FULL CPUs. Such CPUs are expected to spend almost all of their time in userspace, so that scheduling-clock interrupts can be disabled while there is only one runnable task on the CPU in question. Unfortunately, raising any softirq has the potential to wake up ksoftirqd, which would provide the second runnable task on that CPU, preventing disabling of scheduling-clock interrupts. What is needed instead is for RCU to leave NO_HZ_FULL CPUs alone, relying on the grace-period kthreads' quiescent-state forcing to do any needed RCU work on behalf of those CPUs. This commit therefore refrains from raising RCU_SOFTIRQ on any NO_HZ_FULL CPUs during any grace periods that have been in effect for less than one second. The one-second limit handles the case where an inappropriate workload is running on a NO_HZ_FULL CPU that features lots of scheduling-clock interrupts, but no idle or userspace time.

Lai Jiangshan authored
After commit #10f39bb1 (rcu: protect __rcu_read_unlock() against scheduler-using irq handlers), it is no longer possible to enter the main body of rcu_read_lock_special() from an NMI, interrupt, or softirq handler. In theory, this implies that the check for "in_irq() || in_serving_softirq()" must always fail, so that in theory this check could be removed entirely. In practice, this commit wraps this condition with a WARN_ON_ONCE(). If this warning never triggers, then the condition will be removed entirely. [ paulmck: And one way of triggering the WARN_ON() is if a scheduling clock interrupt occurs in an RCU read-side critical section, setting RCU_READ_UNLOCK_NEED_QS, which is handled by rcu_read_unlock_special(). Updated this commit to return if only that bit was set. ] Signed-off-by: Lai Jiangshan <laijs@cn.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Currently blocking in an RCU callback function will result in "scheduling while atomic", which could be triggered for any number of reasons. To aid debugging, this patch introduces a rcu_callback_map that is used to tie the inappropriate voluntary context switch back to the fact that the function is being invoked from within a callback.

Each element of the rcu_state structure's ->levelspread[] array is intended to contain the per-level fanout, where the zero-th element corresponds to the root of the rcu_node tree, and the last element corresponds to the leaves. In the CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT_EXACT case, this means that the last element should be filled in from CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT_LEAF (or from the rcu_fanout_leaf boot parameter, if provided) and that the remaining elements should be filled in from CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT. Unfortunately, the current code in rcu_init_levelspread() takes the opposite approach, placing CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT_LEAF in the zero-th element and CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT in the remaining elements. For typical power-of-two values, this generates odd but functional rcu_node trees. However, other values, for example CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT=3 and CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT_LEAF=2, generate trees that can leave some CPUs out of the grace-period computation, resulting in too-short grace periods and therefore a broken RCU implementation. This commit therefore fixes rcu_init_levelspread() to set the last ->levelspread[] array element from CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT_LEAF and the remaining elements from CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT, thus generating the intended rcu_node trees.

The reason that call_rcu() needs to invoke the scheduler is to wake up the corresponding rcuo callback-offload kthread, which does the job of starting up a grace period and invoking the callbacks afterwards. One solution (championed on a related problem by Lai Jiangshan) is to simply defer the wakeup to some point where scheduler locks are no longer held. Since we don't want to unnecessarily incur the cost of such deferral, the task before us is threefold: 1. Determine when it is likely that a relevant scheduler lock is held. 2. Defer the wakeup in such cases. 3. Ensure that all deferred wakeups eventually happen, preferably sooner rather than later. We use irqs_disabled_flags() as a proxy for relevant scheduler locks being held. This works because the relevant locks are always acquired with interrupts disabled. We may defer more often than needed, but that is at least safe. The wakeup deferral is tracked via a new field in the per-CPU and per-RCU-flavor rcu_data structure, namely ->nocb_defer_wakeup. This flag is checked by the RCU core processing. The __rcu_pending() function now checks this flag, which causes rcu_check_callbacks() to initiate RCU core processing at each scheduling-clock interrupt where this flag is set. Of course this is not sufficient because scheduling-clock interrupts are often turned off (the things we used to be able to count on!). So the flags are also checked on entry to any state that RCU considers to be idle, which includes both NO_HZ_IDLE idle state and NO_HZ_FULL user-mode-execution state. This approach should allow call_rcu() to be invoked regardless of what locks you might be holding, the key word being "should". Reported-by: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

It is all too easy to forget that wait_event() does not necessarily imply a full memory barrier. The case where it does not is where the condition transitions to true just as wait_event() starts execution. This is actually a feature: The standard use of wait_event() involves locking, in which case the locks provide the needed ordering (you hold a lock across the wake_up() and acquire that same lock after wait_event() returns). Given that I did forget that wait_event() does not necessarily imply a full memory barrier in one case, this commit fixes that case. This commit also adds comments calling out the placement of existing memory barriers relied on by wait_event() calls. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

When an RCU CPU stall warning occurs, the CPU invokes resched_cpu() on itself. This can help move the grace period forward in some situations, but it would be even better to do this -before- the RCU CPU stall warning. This commit therefore causes resched_cpu() to be called every five jiffies once the system is halfway to an RCU CPU stall warning. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

PTE_PROT_NONE means that a pte is present but does not have any read/write attributes. However, setting the memory type like pgprot_writecombine() is allowed and such bits overlap with PTE_PROT_NONE. This causes mmap/munmap issues in drivers that change the vma->vm_pg_prot on PROT_NONE mappings. This patch reverts the PTE_FILE/PTE_PROT_NONE shift in commit 59911ca4 (ARM64: mm: Move PTE_PROT_NONE bit) and moves PTE_PROT_NONE together with the other software bits.

Pull cifs fixes from Steve French: "SMB3 "validate negotiate" is needed to prevent certain types of downgrade attacks. Also changes SMB2/SMB3 copy offload from using the BTRFS copy ioctl (BTRFS_IOC_CLONE) to a cifs specific ioctl (CIFS_IOC_COPYCHUNK_FILE) to address Christoph's comment that there are semantic differences between requesting copy offload in which copy-on-write is mandatory (as in the BTRFS ioctl) and optional in the SMB2/SMB3 case. Also fixes SMB2/SMB3 copychunk for large files" * 'for-next' of git://git.samba.org/sfrench/cifs-2.6: [CIFS] Do not use btrfs refcopy ioctl for SMB2 copy offload Check SMB3 dialects against downgrade attacks Removed duplicated (and unneeded) goto CIFS: Fix SMB2/SMB3 Copy offload support (refcopy) for large files

The current generic parser assumes blindly that the volume and mute amps are found in the aamix node itself. But on some codecs, typically Analog Devices ones, the aamix amps are separately implemented in each leaf node of the aamix node, and the current driver can't establish the correct amp controls. This is a regression compared with the previous static quirks. This patch extends the search for the amps to the leaf nodes for allowing the aamix controls again on such codecs. In this implementation, I didn't code to loop through the whole paths, since usually one depth should suffice, and we can't search too deeply, as it may result in the conflicting control assignments.
