Subsystems that want to register CPU hotplug callbacks, as well as perform initialization for the CPUs that are already online, often do it as shown below: get_online_cpus(); for_each_online_cpu(cpu) init_cpu(cpu); register_cpu_notifier(&foobar_cpu_notifier); put_online_cpus(); This is wrong, since it is prone to ABBA deadlocks involving the cpu_add_remove_lock and the cpu_hotplug.lock (when running concurrently with CPU hotplug operations). Instead, the correct and race-free way of performing the callback registration is: cpu_notifier_register_begin(); for_each_online_cpu(cpu) init_cpu(cpu); /* Note the use of the double underscored version of the API */ __register_cpu_notifier(&foobar_cpu_notifier); cpu_notifier_register_done(); Fix the topology code in ia64 by using this latter form of callback registration.

This would be useful for subsystems that need to perform a different set of initialization for the already online CPUs, or don't need the initialization altogether.

Recommend the usage of the new CPU hotplug callback registration APIs (__register_cpu_notifier() etc), when subsystems need to also perform initialization for already online CPUs. Provide examples of correct and race-free ways of achieving this, and point out the kinds of code that are error-prone.

The following method of CPU hotplug callback registration is not safe due to the possibility of an ABBA deadlock involving the cpu_add_remove_lock and the cpu_hotplug.lock. get_online_cpus(); for_each_online_cpu(cpu) init_cpu(cpu); register_cpu_notifier(&foobar_cpu_notifier); put_online_cpus(); The deadlock is shown below: CPU 0 CPU 1 ----- ----- Acquire cpu_hotplug.lock [via get_online_cpus()] CPU online/offline operation takes cpu_add_remove_lock [via cpu_maps_update_begin()] Try to acquire cpu_add_remove_lock [via register_cpu_notifier()] CPU online/offline operation tries to acquire cpu_hotplug.lock [via cpu_hotplug_begin()] *** DEADLOCK! *** The problem here is that callback registration takes the locks in one order whereas the CPU hotplug operations take the same locks in the opposite order. To avoid this issue and to provide a race-free method to register CPU hotplug callbacks (along with initialization of already online CPUs), introduce new variants of the callback registration APIs that simply register the callbacks without holding the cpu_add_remove_lock during the registration. That way, we can avoid the ABBA scenario. However, we will need to hold the cpu_add_remove_lock throughout the entire critical section, to protect updates to the callback/notifier chain. This can be achieved by writing the callback registration code as follows: cpu_maps_update_begin(); [ or cpu_notifier_register_begin(); see below ] for_each_online_cpu(cpu) init_cpu(cpu); /* This doesn't take the cpu_add_remove_lock */ __register_cpu_notifier(&foobar_cpu_notifier); cpu_maps_update_done(); [ or cpu_notifier_register_done(); see below ] Note that we can't use get_online_cpus() here instead of cpu_maps_update_begin() because the cpu_hotplug.lock is dropped during the invocation of CPU_POST_DEAD notifiers, and hence get_online_cpus() cannot provide the necessary synchronization to protect the callback/notifier chains against concurrent reads and writes. On the other hand, since the cpu_add_remove_lock protects the entire hotplug operation (including CPU_POST_DEAD), we can use cpu_maps_update_begin/done() to guarantee proper synchronization. Also, since cpu_maps_update_begin/done() is like a super-set of get/put_online_cpus(), the former naturally protects the critical sections from concurrent hotplug operations. Since the names cpu_maps_update_begin/done() don't make much sense in CPU hotplug callback registration scenarios, we'll introduce new APIs named cpu_notifier_register_begin/done() and map them to cpu_maps_update_begin/done(). In summary, introduce the lockless variants of un/register_cpu_notifier() and also export the cpu_notifier_register_begin/done() APIs for use by modules. This way, we provide a race-free way to register hotplug callbacks as well as perform initialization for the CPUs that are already online.

While testing and documenting the msgrcv() MSG_COPY flag that Stanislav Kinsbursky added in commit 4a674f34 ("ipc: introduce message queue copy feature" => kernel 3.8), I discovered a couple of bugs in the implementation. The two bugs concern MSG_COPY interactions with other msgrcv() flags, namely: (A) MSG_COPY + MSG_EXCEPT (B) MSG_COPY + !IPC_NOWAIT The bugs are distinct (and the fix for the first one is obvious), however my fix for both is a single-line patch, which is why I'm combining them in a single mail, rather than writing two mails+patches. ===== (A) MSG_COPY + MSG_EXCEPT ===== With the addition of the MSG_COPY flag, there are now two msgrcv() flags--MSG_COPY and MSG_EXCEPT--that modify the meaning of the 'msgtyp' argument in unrelated ways. Specifying both in the same call is a logical error that is currently permitted, with the effect that MSG_COPY has priority and MSG_EXCEPT is ignored. The call should give an error if both flags are specified. The patch below implements that behavior. ===== (B) (B) MSG_COPY + !IPC_NOWAIT ===== The test code that was submitted in commit 3a665531 ("selftests: IPC message queue copy feature test") shows MSG_COPY being used in conjunction with IPC_NOWAIT. In other words, if there is no message at the position 'msgtyp'. return immediately with the error in ENOMSG. What was not (fully) tested is the behavior if MSG_COPY is specified *without* IPC_NOWAIT, and there is an odd behavior. If the queue contains less than 'msgtyp' messages, then the call blocks until the next message is written to the queue. At that point, the msgrcv() call returns a copy of the newly added message, regardless of whether that message is at the ordinal position 'msgtyp'. This is clearly bogus, and problematic for applications that might want to make use of the MSG_COPY flag. I considered the following possible solutions to this problem: (1) Force the call to block until a message *does* appear at the position 'msgtyp'. (2) If the MSG_COPY flag is specified, the kernel should implicitly add IPC_NOWAIT, so that the call fails with ENOMSG for this case. (3) If the MSG_COPY flag is specified, but IPC_NOWAIT is not, generate an error (probably, EINVAL is the right one). I do not know if any application would really want to have the functionality of solution (1), especially since an application can determine in advance the number of messages in the queue using msgctl() IPC_STAT. Obviously, this solution would be the most work to implement. Solution (2) would have the effect of silently fixing any applications that tried to employ broken behavior. However, it would mean that if we later decided to implement solution (1), then user-space could not easily detect what the kernel supports (but, since I'm somewhat doubtful that solution (1) is needed, I'm not sure that this is much of a problem). Solution (3) would have the effect of informing broken applications that they are doing something broken. The downside is that this would cause a ABI breakage for any applications that are currently employing the broken behavior. However: a) Those applications are almost certainly not getting the results they expect. b) Possibly, those applications don't even exist, because MSG_COPY is currently hidden behind CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE. The upside of solution (3) is that if we later decided to implement solution (1), user-space could determine what the kernel supports, via the error return. In my view, solution (3) is mildly preferable to solution (2), and solution (1) could still be done later if anyone really cares. The patch below implements solution (3). PS. For anyone out there still listening, it's the usual story: documenting an API (and the thinking about, and the testing of the API, that documentation entails) is the one of the single best ways of finding bugs in the API, as I've learned from a lot of experience. Best to do that documentation before releasing the API.

Pull ACPI and power management fixes from Rafael Wysocki: "Three of these are regression fixes, for two recent regressions and one introduced during the 3.13 cycle, and the fourth one is a working version of the fix that had to be reverted last time. Specifics: - A recent ACPI resources handling fix overlooked the fact that it had to update the ACPI PNP subsystem's resources parsing too and caused confusing warning messages to be printed during system intialization on some systems (with arguably buggy ACPI tables). Fix from Zhang Rui. - Moving the early ACPI initialization before timekeeping_init() earlier in this cycle broke fast TSC calibration on at least one system, so it needs to be done later, but still before efi_enter_virtual_mode() to allow the EFI initialization to refer to ACPI. - A change related to code duplication reduction in the cpufreq core inadvertently caused cpufreq intialization to fail for some CPUs handled by intel_pstate by adding checks that may fail for that driver, but aren't even necessary when it is used. The issue is addressed by preventing those checks from run in the configurations in which they aren't needed. - If the Hardware Reduced ACPI flag is set in the ACPI tables, system suspend, hibernation and ACPI power off will only work when special sleep control and sleep status registeres are provided (their addresses in the ACPI tables are not zero). If those registers are not available, the features in question have no chances to work, so they shouldn't even be regarded as supported. That helps with power off in particular, because alternative power off methods may be used then and they may actually work" * tag 'pm+acpi-3.14-rc7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm: ACPI / sleep: Add extra checks for HW Reduced ACPI mode sleep states ACPI / init: Invoke early ACPI initialization later cpufreq: Skip current frequency initialization for ->setpolicy drivers PNP / ACPI: proper handling of ACPI IO/Memory resource parsing failures

For systems with multiple servers and routed fabric, all northbridges get assigned to the first server. Fix this by also using the node reported from the PCI bus. For single-fabric systems, the northbriges are on PCI bus 0 by definition, which are on NUMA node 0 by definition, so this is invarient on most systems. Tested on fam10h and fam15h single and multi-fabric systems and candidate for stable.

Pull networking fixes from David Miller: "I know this is a bit more than you want to see, and I've told the wireless folks under no uncertain terms that they must severely scale back the extent of the fixes they are submitting this late in the game. Anyways: 1) vmxnet3's netpoll doesn't perform the equivalent of an ISR, which is the correct implementation, like it should. Instead it does something like a NAPI poll operation. This leads to crashes. From Neil Horman and Arnd Bergmann. 2) Segmentation of SKBs requires proper socket orphaning of the fragments, otherwise we might access stale state released by the release callbacks. This is a 5 patch fix, but the initial patches are giving variables and such significantly clearer names such that the actual fix itself at the end looks trivial. From Michael S. Tsirkin. 3) TCP control block release can deadlock if invoked from a timer on an already "owned" socket. Fix from Eric Dumazet. 4) In the bridge multicast code, we must validate that the destination address of general queries is the link local all-nodes multicast address. From Linus Lüssing. 5) The x86 BPF JIT support for negative offsets puts the parameter for the helper function call in the wrong register. Fix from Alexei Starovoitov. 6) The descriptor type used for RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_17 chips in the r8169 driver is incorrect. Fix from Hayes Wang. 7) The xen-netback driver tests skb_shinfo(skb)->gso_type bits to see if a packet is a GSO frame, but that's not the correct test. It should use skb_is_gso(skb) instead. Fix from Wei Liu. 8) Negative msg->msg_namelen values should generate an error, from Matthew Leach. 9) at86rf230 can deadlock because it takes the same lock from it's ISR and it's hard_start_xmit method, without disabling interrupts in the latter. Fix from Alexander Aring. 10) The FEC driver's restart doesn't perform operations in the correct order, so promiscuous settings can get lost. Fix from Stefan Wahren. 11) Fix SKB leak in SCTP cookie handling, from Daniel Borkmann. 12) Reference count and memory leak fixes in TIPC from Ying Xue and Erik Hugne. 13) Forced eviction in inet_frag_evictor() must strictly make sure all frags are deleted, otherwise module unload (f.e. 6lowpan) can crash. Fix from Florian Westphal. 14) Remove assumptions in AF_UNIX's use of csum_partial() (which it uses as a hash function), which breaks on PowerPC. From Anton Blanchard. The main gist of the issue is that csum_partial() is defined only as a value that, once folded (f.e. via csum_fold()) produces a correct 16-bit checksum. It is legitimate, therefore, for csum_partial() to produce two different 32-bit values over the same data if their respective alignments are different. 15) Fix endiannes bug in MAC address handling of ibmveth driver, also from Anton Blanchard. 16) Error checks for ipv6 exthdrs offload registration are reversed, from Anton Nayshtut. 17) Externally triggered ipv6 addrconf routes should count against the garbage collection threshold. Fix from Sabrina Dubroca. 18) The PCI shutdown handler added to the bnx2 driver can wedge the chip if it was not brought up earlier already, which in particular causes the firmware to shut down the PHY. Fix from Michael Chan. 19) Adjust the sanity WARN_ON_ONCE() in qdisc_list_add() because as currently coded it can and does trigger in legitimate situations. From Eric Dumazet. 20) BNA driver fails to build on ARM because of a too large udelay() call, fix from Ben Hutchings. 21) Fair-Queue qdisc holds locks during GFP_KERNEL allocations, fix from Eric Dumazet. 22) The vlan passthrough ops added in the previous release causes a regression in source MAC address setting of outgoing headers in some circumstances.

If the HW Reduced ACPI mode bit is set in the FADT, ACPICA uses the optional sleep control and sleep status registers for making the system enter sleep states (including S5), so it is not possible to use system sleep states or power it off using ACPI if the HW Reduced ACPI mode bit is set and those registers are not available. For this reason, add a new function, acpi_sleep_state_supported(), checking if the HW Reduced ACPI mode bit is set and whether or not system sleep states are usable in that case in addition to checking the return value of acpi_get_sleep_type_data() and make the ACPI sleep setup routines use that function to check the availability of system sleep states. Among other things, this prevents the kernel from attempting to use ACPI for powering off HW Reduced ACPI systems without the sleep control and sleep status registers, because ACPI power off doesn't have a chance to work on them. That allows alternative power off mechanisms that may actually work to be used on those systems. The affected machines include Dell Venue 8 Pro, Asus T100TA, Haswell Desktop SDP and Ivy Bridge EP Demo depot.

tmp_prefered_lft is an offset to ifp->tstamp, not now. Therefore age needs to be added to the condition. Age calculation in ipv6_create_tempaddr is different from the one in addrconf_verify and doesn't consider ADDRCONF_TIMER_FUZZ_MINUS. This can cause age in ipv6_create_tempaddr to be less than the one in addrconf_verify and therefore unnecessary temporary address to be generated. Use age calculation as in addrconf_modify to avoid this. Signed-off-by: Heiner Kallweit <heiner.kallweit@web.de> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Since commit d25f06ea "vmxnet3: fix netpoll race condition", the vmxnet3 driver fails to build when CONFIG_PCI_MSI is disabled, because it unconditionally references the vmxnet3_msix_rx() function. To fix this, use the same #ifdef in the caller that exists around the function definition.

If running on a gb-object capable device with a non-gb capable surface exporter (X server) and a gb capable surface referencing client (GL driver), the referencing client expects to find a shareable backing buffer attached to the surface at reference time. This may not be the case if the surface has not yet been validated. This would cause the surface reference IOCTL to return an error.

Pull PCI fixes from Bjorn Helgaas: "These are two important regression fixes for bugs we've introduced so far in v3.14. One of the resource allocation changes from the merge window is broken for 32-bit kernels where we don't use _CRS for PCI host bridges (mostly pre-2008 machines), so there's a fix for that. The INTx enable change we put in after the merge window turned out to break pciehp because we re-enable INTx on the hotplug bridge, which apparently breaks MSI for future hotplug events" * tag 'pci-v3.14-fixes-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/helgaas/pci: PCI: Don't check resource_size() in pci_bus_alloc_resource() PCI: Enable INTx in pci_reenable_device() only when MSI/MSI-X not enabled

Commit 73f7d1ca (ACPI / init: Run acpi_early_init() before timekeeping_init()) optimistically moved the early ACPI initialization before timekeeping_init(), but that didn't work, because it broke fast TSC calibration for Julian Wollrath on Thinkpad x121e (and most likely for others too). The reason is that acpi_early_init() enables the SCI and that interferes with the fast TSC calibration mechanism. Thus follow the original idea to execute acpi_early_init() before efi_enter_virtual_mode() to help the EFI people for now and we can revisit the other problem that commit 73f7d1ca attempted to address in the future (if really necessary).

After commit da60ce9f (cpufreq: call cpufreq_driver->get() after calling ->init()) __cpufreq_add_dev() sometimes fails for CPUs handled by intel_pstate, because that driver may return 0 from its ->get() callback if it has not run long enough to collect enough samples on the given CPU. That didn't happen before commit da60ce9f which added policy->cur initialization to __cpufreq_add_dev() to help reduce code duplication in other cpufreq drivers. However, the code added by commit da60ce9f need not be executed for cpufreq drivers having the ->setpolicy callback defined, because the subsequent invocation of cpufreq_set_policy() will use that callback to initialize the policy anyway and it doesn't need policy->cur to be initialized upfront. The analogous code in cpufreq_update_policy() is also unnecessary for cpufreq drivers having ->setpolicy set and may be skipped for them as well. Since intel_pstate provides ->setpolicy, skipping the upfront policy->cur initialization for cpufreq drivers with that callback set will cover intel_pstate and the problem it's been having after commit da60ce9f will be addressed.
