2011-12-31futex: Fix uninterruptible loop due to gate_areaHugh Dickins1-8/+20
It was found (by Sasha) that if you use a futex located in the gate area we get stuck in an uninterruptible infinite loop, much like the ZERO_PAGE issue. While looking at this problem, PeterZ realized you'll get into similar trouble when hitting any install_special_pages() mapping. And are there still drivers setting up their own special mmaps without page->mapping, and without special VM or pte flags to make get_user_pages fail? In most cases, if page->mapping is NULL, we do not need to retry at all: Linus points out that even /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches poses no problem, because it ends up using remove_mapping(), which takes care not to interfere when the page reference count is raised. But there is still one case which does need a retry: if memory pressure called shmem_writepage in between get_user_pages_fast dropping page table lock and our acquiring page lock, then the page gets switched from filecache to swapcache (and ->mapping set to NULL) whatever the refcount. Fault it back in to get the page->mapping needed for key->shared.inode.

2011-12-20binary_sysctl(): fix memory leakMichel Lespinasse1-1/+1
binary_sysctl() calls sysctl_getname() which allocates from names_cache slab usin __getname() The matching function to free the name is __putname(), and not putname() which should be used only to match getname() allocations. This is because when auditing is enabled, putname() calls audit_putname *instead* (not in addition) to __putname(). Then, if a syscall is in progress, audit_putname does not release the name - instead, it expects the name to get released when the syscall completes, but that will happen only if audit_getname() was called previously, i.e. if the name was allocated with getname() rather than the naked __getname(). So, __getname() followed by putname() ends up leaking memory.

2011-12-20cpusets: stall when updating mems_allowed for mempolicy or disjoint nodemaskDavid Rientjes1-5/+24
Kernels where MAX_NUMNODES > BITS_PER_LONG may temporarily see an empty nodemask in a tsk's mempolicy if its previous nodemask is remapped onto a new set of allowed cpuset nodes where the two nodemasks, as a result of the remap, are now disjoint. c0ff7453bb5c ("cpuset,mm: fix no node to alloc memory when changing cpuset's mems") adds get_mems_allowed() to prevent the set of allowed nodes from changing for a thread. This causes any update to a set of allowed nodes to stall until put_mems_allowed() is called. This stall is unncessary, however, if at least one node remains unchanged in the update to the set of allowed nodes. This was addressed by 89e8a244b97e ("cpusets: avoid looping when storing to mems_allowed if one node remains set"), but it's still possible that an empty nodemask may be read from a mempolicy because the old nodemask may be remapped to the new nodemask during rebind. To prevent this, only avoid the stall if there is no mempolicy for the thread being changed. This is a temporary solution until all reads from mempolicy nodemasks can be guaranteed to not be empty without the get_mems_allowed() synchronization. Also moves the check for nodemask intersection inside task_lock() so that tsk->mems_allowed cannot change. This ensures that nothing can set this tsk's mems_allowed out from under us and also protects tsk->mempolicy.

2011-12-19cgroups: fix a css_set not found bug in cgroup_attach_procMandeep Singh Baines1-5/+0
There is a BUG when migrating a PF_EXITING proc. Since css_set_prefetch() is not called for the PF_EXITING case, find_existing_css_set() will return NULL inside cgroup_task_migrate() causing a BUG. This bug is easy to reproduce. Create a zombie and echo its pid to cgroup.procs. $ cat zombie.c \#include <unistd.h> int main() { if (fork()) pause(); return 0; } $ We are hitting this bug pretty regularly on ChromeOS. This bug is already fixed by Tejun Heo's cgroup patchset which is targetted for the next merge window: https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/11/1/356 I've create a smaller patch here which just fixes this bug so that a fix can be merged into the current release and stable.

Since commit f59de89 ("lockdep: Clear whole lockdep_map on initialization"), lockdep_init_map() will clear all the struct. But it will break lock_set_class()/lock_set_subclass(). A typical race condition is like below: CPU A CPU B lock_set_subclass(lockA); lock_set_class(lockA); lockdep_init_map(lockA); /* lockA->name is cleared */ memset(lockA); __lock_acquire(lockA); /* lockA->class_cache[] is cleared */ register_lock_class(lockA); look_up_lock_class(lockA); WARN_ON_ONCE(class->name != lock->name); lock->name = name; So restore to what we have done before commit f59de89 but annotate ->lock with kmemcheck_mark_initialized() to suppress the kmemcheck warning reported in commit f59de89.

Fix a bug introduced by e9dbfae5, which prevents event_subsystem from ever being released. Ref_count was added to keep track of subsystem users, not for counting events. Subsystem is created with ref_count = 1, so there is no need to increment it for every event, we have nr_events for that. Fix this by touching ref_count only when we actually have a new user - subsystem_open().

2011-12-05perf: Fix loss of notification with multi-eventPeter Zijlstra3-2/+90
When you do: $ perf record -e cycles,cycles,cycles noploop 10 You expect about 10,000 samples for each event, i.e., 10s at 1000samples/sec. However, this is not what's happening. You get much fewer samples, maybe 3700 samples/event: $ perf report -D | tail -15 Aggregated stats: TOTAL events: 10998 MMAP events: 66 COMM events: 2 SAMPLE events: 10930 cycles stats: TOTAL events: 3644 SAMPLE events: 3644 cycles stats: TOTAL events: 3642 SAMPLE events: 3642 cycles stats: TOTAL events: 3644 SAMPLE events: 3644 On a Intel Nehalem or even AMD64, there are 4 counters capable of measuring cycles, so there is plenty of space to measure those events without multiplexing (even with the NMI watchdog active). And even with multiplexing, we'd expect roughly the same number of samples per event. The root of the problem was that when the event that caused the buffer to become full was not the first event passed on the cmdline, the user notification would get lost. The notification was sent to the file descriptor of the overflowed event but the perf tool was not polling on it. The perf tool aggregates all samples into a single buffer, i.e., the buffer of the first event. Consequently, it assumes notifications for any event will come via that descriptor. The seemingly straight forward solution of moving the waitq into the ringbuffer object doesn't work because of life-time issues. One could perf_event_set_output() on a fd that you're also blocking on and cause the old rb object to be freed while its waitq would still be referenced by the blocked thread -> FAIL. Therefore link all events to the ringbuffer and broadcast the wakeup from the ringbuffer object to all possible events that could be waited upon. This is rather ugly, and we're open to better solutions but it works for now.

If a device is shutdown, then there might be a pending interrupt, which will be processed after we reenable interrupts, which causes the original handler to be run. If the old handler is the (broadcast) periodic handler the shutdown state might hang the kernel completely. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org

2011-12-02genirq: Fix race condition when stopping the irq threadIdo Yariv1-1/+4
In irq_wait_for_interrupt(), the should_stop member is verified before setting the task's state to TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE and calling schedule(). In case kthread_stop sets should_stop and wakes up the process after should_stop is checked by the irq thread but before the task's state is changed, the irq thread might never exit: kthread_stop irq_wait_for_interrupt ------------ ---------------------- ... ... while (!kthread_should_stop()) { kthread->should_stop = 1; wake_up_process(k); wait_for_completion(&kthread->exited); ... set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE); ... schedule(); } Fix this by checking if the thread should stop after modifying the task's state.

2011-11-28genirq: fix regression in irqfixup, irqpollEdward Donovan1-1/+3
Commit fa27271bc8d2("genirq: Fixup poll handling") introduced a regression that broke irqfixup/irqpoll for some hardware configurations. Amidst reorganizing 'try_one_irq', that patch removed a test that checked for 'action->handler' returning IRQ_HANDLED, before acting on the interrupt. Restoring this test back returns the functionality lost since 2.6.39. In the current set of tests, after 'action' is set, it must precede '!action->next' to take effect. With this and my previous patch to irq/spurious.c, c75d720fca8a, all IRQ regressions that I have encountered are fixed.

2011-11-24cgroup_freezer: fix freezing groups with stopped tasksMichal Hocko1-2/+9
2d3cbf8b (cgroup_freezer: update_freezer_state() does incorrect state transitions) removed is_task_frozen_enough and replaced it with a simple frozen call. This, however, breaks freezing for a group with stopped tasks because those cannot be frozen and so the group remains in CGROUP_FREEZING state (update_if_frozen doesn't count stopped tasks) and never reaches CGROUP_FROZEN. Let's add is_task_frozen_enough back and use it at the original locations (update_if_frozen and try_to_freeze_cgroup). Semantically we consider stopped tasks as frozen enough so we should consider both cases when testing frozen tasks. Testcase: mkdir /dev/freezer mount -t cgroup -o freezer none /dev/freezer mkdir /dev/freezer/foo sleep 1h & pid=$! kill -STOP $pid echo $pid > /dev/freezer/foo/tasks echo FROZEN > /dev/freezer/foo/freezer.state while true do cat /dev/freezer/foo/freezer.state [ "`cat /dev/freezer/foo/freezer.state`" = "FROZEN" ] && break sleep 1 done echo OK Signed-off-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.cz> Acked-by: Li Zefan <lizf@cn.fujitsu.com> Cc: Tomasz Buchert <tomasz.buchert@inria.fr> Cc: Paul Menage <paul@paulmenage.org> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com>
2011-11-23PM / Hibernate: Do not leak memory in error/test code pathsRafael J. Wysocki1-6/+10
The hibernation core code forgets to release memory preallocated for hibernation if there's an error in its early stages or if test modes causing hibernation_snapshot() to return early are used. This causes the system to be hardly usable, because the amount of preallocated memory is usually huge. Fix this problem. Reported-by: Srivatsa S.

2011-11-19hrtimer: Fix extra wakeups from __remove_hrtimer()Jeff Ohlstein1-2/+4
__remove_hrtimer() attempts to reprogram the clockevent device when the timer being removed is the next to expire. However, __remove_hrtimer() reprograms the clockevent *before* removing the timer from the timerqueue and thus when hrtimer_force_reprogram() finds the next timer to expire it finds the timer we're trying to remove. This is especially noticeable when the system switches to NOHz mode and the system tick is removed. The timer tick is removed from the system but the clockevent is programmed to wakeup in another HZ anyway. Silence the extra wakeup by removing the timer from the timerqueue before calling hrtimer_force_reprogram() so that we actually program the clockevent for the next timer to expire. This was broken by 998adc3 "hrtimers: Convert hrtimers to use timerlist infrastructure".

2011-11-18PM / Hibernate: Fix the early termination of test modesSrivatsa S. Bhat1-6/+17
Commit 2aede851ddf08666f68ffc17be446420e9d2a056 (PM / Hibernate: Freeze kernel threads after preallocating memory) postponed the freezing of kernel threads to after preallocating memory for hibernation. But while doing that, the hibernation test TEST_FREEZER and the test mode HIBERNATION_TESTPROC were not moved accordingly. As a result, when using these test modes, it only goes upto the freezing of userspace and exits, when in fact it should go till the complete end of task freezing stage, namely the freezing of kernel threads as well. So, move these points of exit to appropriate places so that freezing of kernel threads is also tested while using these test harnesses. Signed-off-by: Srivatsa S.

2011-11-17timekeeping: add arch_offset hook to ktime_get functionsHector Palacios1-0/+4
ktime_get and ktime_get_ts were calling timekeeping_get_ns() but later they were not calling arch_gettimeoffset() so architectures using this mechanism returned 0 ns when calling these functions. This happened for example when running Busybox's ping which calls syscall(__NR_clock_gettime, CLOCK_MONOTONIC, ts) which eventually calls ktime_get. As a result the returned ping travel time was zero. CC: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Hector Palacios <hector.palacios@digi.com> Signed-off-by: John Stultz <john.stultz@linaro.org>
