git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull x86/efi changes from Peter Anvin: "The bulk of these changes are cleaning up the efivars handling and breaking it up into a tree of files. There are a number of fixes as well. The entire changeset is pretty big, but most of it is code movement. Several of these commits are quite new; the history got very messed up due to a mismerge with the urgent changes for rc8 which completely broke IA64, and so Ingo requested that we rebase it to straighten it out." * 'x86-efi-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: efi: remove "kfree(NULL)" efi: locking fix in efivar_entry_set_safe() efi, pstore: Read data from variable store before memcpy() efi, pstore: Remove entry from list when erasing efi, pstore: Initialise 'entry' before iterating efi: split efisubsystem from efivars efivarfs: Move to fs/efivarfs efivars: Move pstore code into the new EFI directory efivars: efivar_entry API efivars: Keep a private global pointer to efivars efi: move utf16 string functions to efi.h x86, efi: Make efi_memblock_x86_reserve_range more readable efivarfs: convert to use simple_open()

Make the PROC_I() and PDE() macros internal to procfs. This means making PDE_DATA() out of line. This could be made more optimal by storing PDE()->data into inode->i_private.

2013-05-01reiserfs: Don't access the proc_dir_entry in r_open(), r_start() r_show()David Howells1-11/+18
Don't access the proc_dir_entry in ReiserFS's r_open(), r_start() r_show() procfs interface functions. ReiserFS stores the ->show() method pointer in PDE->data and the super_block pointer in PDE->parent->data. This isn't changing. Currently, ReiserFS passes the PDE pointer into seq_file::private from r_open() so that r_start() and r_show() can then access it. Instead, use seq_open_private() to allocate a two-pointer struct that's passed through seq_file::private and put the ->show() method and the sb pointers in there.

2013-05-01proc: Supply an accessor for getting the data from a PDE's parentDavid Howells1-0/+7
Supply an accessor function for getting the private data from the parent proc_dir_entry struct of the proc_dir_entry struct associated with an inode. ReiserFS, for instance, stores the super_block pointer in the proc directory it makes for that super_block, and a pointer to the respective seq_file show function in each of the proc files in that directory. This allows a reduction in the number of file_operations structs, open functions and seq_operations structs required. The problem otherwise is that each show function requires two pieces of data but only has storage for one per PDE (and this has no release function).

2013-04-30exec: do not abuse ->cred_guard_mutex in threadgroup_lock()Oleg Nesterov1-0/+3
threadgroup_lock() takes signal->cred_guard_mutex to ensure that thread_group_leader() is stable. This doesn't look nice, the scope of this lock in do_execve() is huge. And as Dave pointed out this can lead to deadlock, we have the following dependencies: do_execve: cred_guard_mutex -> i_mutex cgroup_mount: i_mutex -> cgroup_mutex attach_task_by_pid: cgroup_mutex -> cred_guard_mutex Change de_thread() to take threadgroup_change_begin() around the switch-the-leader code and change threadgroup_lock() to avoid ->cred_guard_mutex. Note that de_thread() can't sleep with ->group_rwsem held, this can obviously deadlock with the exiting leader if the writer is active, so it does threadgroup_change_end() before schedule().

set_task_comm() does memset() + wmb() before strlcpy(). This buys nothing and to add to the confusion, the comment is wrong. - We do not need memset() to be "safe from non-terminating string reads", the final char is always zero and we never change it. - wmb() is paired with nothing, it cannot prevent from printing the mixture of the old/new data unless the reader takes the lock.

2013-04-30fs, proc: truncate /proc/pid/comm writes to first TASK_COMM_LEN bytesDavid Rientjes1-3/+2
Currently, a write to a procfs file will return the number of bytes successfully written. If the actual string is longer than this, the remainder of the string will not be be written and userspace will complete the operation by issuing additional write()s. Hence $ echo -n "abcdefghijklmnopqrs" > /proc/self/comm results in $ cat /proc/$$/comm pqrs since the final four bytes were written with a second write() since TASK_COMM_LEN == 16. This is obviously an undesired result and not equivalent to prctl(PR_SET_NAME). The implementation should not need to know the definition of TASK_COMM_LEN. This patch truncates the string to the first TASK_COMM_LEN bytes and returns the bytes written as the length of the string written so the second write() is suppressed. $ cat /proc/$$/comm abcdefghijklmno Signed-off-by: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Acked-by: John Stultz <john.stultz@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2013-04-30coredump: change wait_for_dump_helpers() to use wait_event_interruptible()Oleg Nesterov1-6/+9
wait_for_dump_helpers() calls wake_up/kill_fasync from inside the wait_event-like loop. This is not needed and in fact this is not strictly correct, we can/should do this only once after we change pipe->writers. We could even check if it becomes zero. Change this code to use use wait_event_interruptible(), this can also help to make this wait freezable. With this patch we check pipe->readers without pipe_lock(), this is fine. Once we see pipe->readers == 1 we know that the handler decremented the counter, this is all we need.

2013-04-30coredump: introduce dump_interrupted()Oleg Nesterov1-3/+17
By discussion with Mandeep. Change dump_write(), dump_seek() and do_coredump() to check signal_pending() and abort if it is true. dump_seek() does this only before f_op->llseek(), otherwise it relies on dump_write(). We need this change to ensure that the coredump won't delay suspend, and to ensure it reacts to SIGKILL "quickly enough", a core dump can take a lot of time. In particular this can help oom-killer. We add the new trivial helper, dump_interrupted() to add the comments and to simplify the potential freezer changes. Perhaps it will have more callers. Ideally it should do try_to_freeze() but then we need the unpleasant changes in dump_write() and wait_for_dump_helpers(). It is not trivial to change dump_write() to restart if f_op->write() fails because of freezing(). We need to handle the short writes, we need to clear TIF_SIGPENDING (and we can't rely on recalc_sigpending() unless we change it to check PF_DUMPCORE). And if the buggy f_op->write() sets TIF_SIGPENDING we can not distinguish this case from the race with freeze_task() + __thaw_task(). So we simply accept the fact that the freezer can truncate a core-dump but at least you can reliably suspend. Hopefully we can tolerate this unlikely case and the necessary complications doesn't worth a trouble. But if we decide to make the coredumping freezable later we can do this on top of this change.

2013-04-30coredump: sanitize the setting of signal->group_exit_codeOleg Nesterov1-5/+6
Now that the coredumping process can be SIGKILL'ed, the setting of ->group_exit_code in do_coredump() can race with complete_signal() and SIGKILL or 0x80 can be "lost", or wait(status) can report status == SIGKILL | 0x80. But the main problem is that it is not clear to me what should we do if binfmt->core_dump() succeeds but SIGKILL was sent, that is why this patch comes as a separate change. This patch adds 0x80 if ->core_dump() succeeds and the process was not killed. But perhaps we can (should?) re-set ->group_exit_code changed by SIGKILL back to "siginfo->si_signo |= 0x80" in case when core_dumped == T.

2013-04-30coredump: ensure that SIGKILL always kills the dumping threadOleg Nesterov1-2/+8
prepare_signal() blesses SIGKILL sent to the dumping process but this signal can be "lost" anyway. The problems is, complete_signal() sees SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT and skips the "kill them all" logic. And even if the dumping process is single-threaded (so the target is always "correct"), the group-wide SIGKILL is not recorded in task->pending and thus __fatal_signal_pending() won't be true. A multi-threaded case has even more problems. And even ignoring all technical details, SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT doesn't look right to me. This coredumping process is not exiting yet, it can do a lot of work dumping the core. With this patch the dumping process doesn't have SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT, we set signal->group_exit_task instead. This makes signal_group_exit() true and thus this should equally close the races with exit/exec/stop but allows to kill the dumping thread reliably. Notes: - It is not clear what should we do with ->group_exit_code if the dumper was killed, see the next change. - we need more (hopefully straightforward) changes to ensure that SIGKILL actually interrupts the coredump. Basically we need to check __fatal_signal_pending() in dump_write() and dump_seek().

2013-04-30coredump: only SIGKILL should interrupt the coredumping taskOleg Nesterov1-8/+5
There are 2 well known and ancient problems with coredump/signals, and a lot of related bug reports: - do_coredump() clears TIF_SIGPENDING but of course this can't help if, say, SIGCHLD comes after that. In this case the coredump can fail unexpectedly. See for example wait_for_dump_helper()->signal_pending() check but there are other reasons. - At the same time, dumping a huge core on the slow media can take a lot of time/resources and there is no way to kill the coredumping task reliably. In particular this is not oom_kill-friendly. This patch tries to fix the 1st problem, and makes the preparation for the next changes. We add the new SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMP flag set by zap_threads() to indicate that this process dumps the core. prepare_signal() checks this flag and nacks any signal except SIGKILL. Note that this check tries to be conservative, in the long term we should probably treat the SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT case equally but this needs more discussion. See marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=120508897917439 Notes: - recalc_sigpending() doesn't check SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMP. The patch assumes that dump_write/etc paths should never call it, but we can change it as well. - There is another source of TIF_SIGPENDING, freezer. This will be addressed separately.

2013-04-30nilfs2: fix issue with flush kernel thread after remount in RO mode because ↵Vyacheslav Dubeyko4-23/+86
of driver's internal error or metadata corruption The NILFS2 driver remounts itself in RO mode in the case of discovering metadata corruption (for example, discovering a broken bmap). But usually, this takes place when there have been file system operations before remounting in RO mode. Thereby, NILFS2 driver can be in RO mode with presence of dirty pages in modified inodes' address spaces. It results in flush kernel thread's infinite trying to flush dirty pages in RO mode. As a result, it is possible to see such side effects as: (1) flush kernel thread occupies 50% - 99% of CPU time; (2) system can't be shutdowned without manual power switch off. SYMPTOMS: (1) System log contains error message: "Remounting filesystem read-only". (2) The flush kernel thread occupies 50% - 99% of CPU time. (3) The system can't be shutdowned without manual power switch off. REPRODUCTION PATH: (1) Create volume group with name "unencrypted" by means of vgcreate utility. (2) Run script (prepared by Anthony Doggett <Anthony2486@interfaces.org.uk>): ----------------[BEGIN SCRIPT]-------------------- #!/bin/bash VG=unencrypted #apt-get install nilfs-tools darcs lvcreate --size 2G --name ntest $VG mkfs.nilfs2 -b 1024 -B 8192 /dev/mapper/$VG-ntest mkdir /var/tmp/n mkdir /var/tmp/n/ntest mount /dev/mapper/$VG-ntest /var/tmp/n/ntest mkdir /var/tmp/n/ntest/thedir cd /var/tmp/n/ntest/thedir sleep 2 date darcs init sleep 2 dmesg|tail -n 5 date darcs whatsnew || true date sleep 2 dmesg|tail -n 5 ----------------[END SCRIPT]-------------------- (3) Try to shutdown the system. REPRODUCIBILITY: 100% FIX: This patch implements checking mount state of NILFS2 driver in nilfs_writepage(), nilfs_writepages() and nilfs_mdt_write_page() methods. If it is detected the RO mount state then all dirty pages are simply discarded with warning messages is written in system log.

It is common for epoll users to have thousands of epitems, so saving a cache line on every allocation leads to large memory savings. Since epitem allocations are cache-aligned, reducing sizeof(struct epitem) from 136 bytes to 128 bytes will allow it to squeeze under a cache line boundary on x86_64. Via /sys/kernel/slab/eventpoll_epi, I see the following changes on my x86_64 Core2 Duo (which has 64-byte cache alignment): object_size : 192 => 128 objs_per_slab: 21 => 32 Also, add a BUILD_BUG_ON() to check for future accidental breakage.

2013-04-30writeback: set worker desc to identify writeback workers in task dumpsTejun Heo1-0/+1
Writeback has been recently converted to use workqueue instead of its private thread pool implementation. One negative side effect of this conversion is that there's no easy to tell which backing device a writeback work item was working on at the time of task dump, be it sysrq-t, BUG, WARN or whatever, which, according to our writeback brethren, is important in tracking down issues with a lot of mounted file systems on a lot of different devices. This patch restores that information using the new worker description facility. bdi_writeback_workfn() calls set_work_desc() to identify which bdi it's working on. The description is printed out together with the worqueue name and worker function as in the following example dump.

2013-04-30fs/dcache.c: add cond_resched() to shrink_dcache_parent()Greg Thelen1-1/+3
Call cond_resched() in shrink_dcache_parent() to maintain interactivity. Before this patch: void shrink_dcache_parent(struct dentry * parent) { while ((found = select_parent(parent, &dispose)) != 0) shrink_dentry_list(&dispose); } select_parent() populates the dispose list with dentries which shrink_dentry_list() then deletes. select_parent() carefully uses need_resched() to avoid doing too much work at once. But neither shrink_dcache_parent() nor its called functions call cond_resched(). So once need_resched() is set select_parent() will return single dentry dispose list which is then deleted by shrink_dentry_list(). This is inefficient when there are a lot of dentry to process. This can cause softlockup and hurts interactivity on non preemptable kernels. This change adds cond_resched() in shrink_dcache_parent(). The benefit of this is that need_resched() is quickly cleared so that future calls to select_parent() are able to efficiently return a big batch of dentry. These additional cond_resched() do not seem to impact performance, at least for the workload below. Here is a program which can cause soft lockup if other system activity sets need_resched(). int main() { struct rlimit rlim; int i; int f[100000]; char buf[20]; struct timeval t1, t2; double diff; /* cleanup past run */ system("rm -rf x"); /* boost nfile rlimit */ rlim.rlim_cur = 200000; rlim.rlim_max = 200000; if (setrlimit(RLIMIT_NOFILE, &rlim)) err(1, "setrlimit"); /* make directory for files */ if (mkdir("x", 0700)) err(1, "mkdir"); if (gettimeofday(&t1, NULL)) err(1, "gettimeofday"); /* populate directory with open files */ for (i = 0; i < 100000; i++) { snprintf(buf, sizeof(buf), "x/%d", i); f[i] = open(buf, O_CREAT); if (f[i] == -1) err(1, "open"); } /* close some of the files */ for (i = 0; i < 85000; i++) close(f[i]); /* unlink all files, even open ones */ system("rm -rf x"); if (gettimeofday(&t2, NULL)) err(1, "gettimeofday"); diff = (((double)t2.tv_sec * 1000000 + t2.tv_usec) - ((double)t1.tv_sec * 1000000 + t1.tv_usec)); printf("done: %g elapsed\n", diff/1e6); return 0; } Signed-off-by: Greg Thelen <gthelen@google.com> Signed-off-by: Dave Chinner <david@fromorbit.com> Cc: <stable@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
