2013-04-30kmod: split call to call_usermodehelper_fns()Lucas De Marchi1-2/+10
Use call_usermodehelper_setup() + call_usermodehelper_exec() instead of calling call_usermodehelper_fns(). In case the latter returns -ENOMEM the cleanup function may had not been called - in this case we would not free argv and module_name.

call_usermodehelper_setup() call_usermodehelper_setup() + call_usermodehelper_exec() need to be called instead of call_usermodehelper_fns() when the cleanup function needs to be called even when an ENOMEM error occurs.

2013-04-30ptrace: add ability to retrieve signals without removing from a queue (v4)Andrey Vagin1-0/+80
This patch adds a new ptrace request PTRACE_PEEKSIGINFO. This request is used to retrieve information about pending signals starting with the specified sequence number. Siginfo_t structures are copied from the child into the buffer starting at "data". The argument "addr" is a pointer to struct ptrace_peeksiginfo_args. struct ptrace_peeksiginfo_args { u64 off; /* from which siginfo to start */ u32 flags; s32 nr; /* how may siginfos to take */ }; "nr" has type "s32", because ptrace() returns "long", which has 32 bits on i386 and a negative values is used for errors. Currently here is only one flag PTRACE_PEEKSIGINFO_SHARED for dumping signals from process-wide queue. If this flag is not set, signals are read from a per-thread queue. The request PTRACE_PEEKSIGINFO returns a number of dumped signals. If a signal with the specified sequence number doesn't exist, ptrace returns zero. The request returns an error, if no signal has been dumped. Errors: EINVAL - one or more specified flags are not supported or nr is negative EFAULT - buf or addr is outside your accessible address space. A result siginfo contains a kernel part of si_code which usually striped, but it's required for queuing the same siginfo back during restore of pending signals. This functionality is required for checkpointing pending signals. Pedro Alves suggested using it in "gdb" to peek at pending signals. gdb already uses PTRACE_GETSIGINFO to get the siginfo for the signal which was already dequeued. This functionality allows gdb to look at the pending signals which were not reported yet. The prototype of this code was developed by Oleg Nesterov.

2013-04-30workqueue: include workqueue info when printing debug dump of a worker taskTejun Heo4-1/+93
One of the problems that arise when converting dedicated custom threadpool to workqueue is that the shared worker pool used by workqueue anonimizes each worker making it more difficult to identify what the worker was doing on which target from the output of sysrq-t or debug dump from oops, BUG() and friends. This patch implements set_worker_desc() which can be called from any workqueue work function to set its description. When the worker task is dumped for whatever reason - sysrq-t, WARN, BUG, oops, lockdep assertion and so on - the description will be printed out together with the workqueue name and the worker function pointer. The printing side is implemented by print_worker_info() which is called from functions in task dump paths - sched_show_task() and dump_stack_print_info(). print_worker_info() can be safely called on any task in any state as long as the task struct itself is accessible. It uses probe_*() functions to access worker fields. It may print garbage if something went very wrong, but it wouldn't cause (another) oops. The description is currently limited to 24bytes including the terminating \0. worker->desc_valid and workder->desc[] are added and the 64 bytes marker which was already incorrect before adding the new fields is moved to the correct position. Here's an example dump with writeback updated to set the bdi name as worker desc.

2013-04-30kthread: implement probe_kthread_data()Tejun Heo1-0/+19
One of the problems that arise when converting dedicated custom threadpool to workqueue is that the shared worker pool used by workqueue anonimizes each worker making it more difficult to identify what the worker was doing on which target from the output of sysrq-t or debug dump from oops, BUG() and friends. For example, after writeback is converted to use workqueue instead of priviate thread pool, there's no easy to tell which backing device a writeback work item was working on at the time of task dump, 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 patchset implements a way for a work function to mark its execution instance so that task dump of the worker task includes information to indicate what the work item was doing. An example WARN dump would look like the following.

This patch: Implement probe_kthread_data() which returns kthread_data if accessible. The function is equivalent to kthread_data() except that the specified @task may not be a kthread or its vfork_done is already cleared rendering struct kthread inaccessible. In the former case, probe_kthread_data() may return any value. In the latter, NULL. This will be used to safely print debug information without affecting synchronization in the normal paths. Workqueue debug info printing on dump_stack() and friends will make use of it.

2013-04-30dump_stack: unify debug information printed by show_regs()Tejun Heo1-0/+16
show_regs() is inherently arch-dependent but it does make sense to print generic debug information and some archs already do albeit in slightly different forms. This patch introduces a generic function to print debug information from show_regs() so that different archs print out the same information and it's much easier to modify what's printed. show_regs_print_info() prints out the same debug info as dump_stack() does plus task and thread_info pointers. * Archs which didn't print debug info now do. alpha, arc, blackfin, c6x, cris, frv, h8300, hexagon, ia64, m32r, metag, microblaze, mn10300, openrisc, parisc, score, sh64, sparc, um, xtensa * Already prints debug info. Replaced with show_regs_print_info(). The printed information is superset of what used to be there. arm, arm64, avr32, mips, powerpc, sh32, tile, unicore32, x86 * s390 is special in that it used to print arch-specific information along with generic debug info. Heiko and Martin think that the arch-specific extra isn't worth keeping s390 specfic implementation. Converted to use the generic version. Note that now all archs print the debug info before actual register dumps.

2013-04-30dump_stack: implement arch-specific hardware description in task dumpsTejun Heo2-6/+26
x86 and ia64 can acquire extra hardware identification information from DMI and print it along with task dumps; however, the usage isn't consistent. * x86 show_regs() collects vendor, product and board strings and print them out with PID, comm and utsname. Some of the information is printed again later in the same dump. * warn_slowpath_common() explicitly accesses the DMI board and prints it out with "Hardware name:" label. This applies to both x86 and ia64 but is irrelevant on all other archs. * ia64 doesn't show DMI information on other non-WARN dumps. This patch introduces arch-specific hardware description used by dump_stack(). It can be set by calling dump_stack_set_arch_desc() during boot and, if exists, printed out in a separate line with "Hardware name:" label. dmi_set_dump_stack_arch_desc() is added which sets arch-specific description from DMI data. It uses dmi_ids_string[] which is set from dmi_present() used for DMI debug message. It is superset of the information x86 show_regs() is using. The function is called from x86 and ia64 boot code right after dmi_scan_machine(). This makes the explicit DMI handling in warn_slowpath_common() unnecessary. Removed. show_regs() isn't yet converted to use generic debug information printing and this patch doesn't remove the duplicate DMI handling in x86 show_regs(). The next patch will unify show_regs() handling and remove the duplication. An example WARN dump follows.

2013-04-30dump_stack: consolidate dump_stack() implementations and unify their behaviorsTejun Heo1-0/+18
Both dump_stack() and show_stack() are currently implemented by each architecture. show_stack(NULL, NULL) dumps the backtrace for the current task as does dump_stack(). On some archs, dump_stack() prints extra information - pid, utsname and so on - in addition to the backtrace while the two are identical on other archs. The usages in arch-independent code of the two functions indicate show_stack(NULL, NULL) should print out bare backtrace while dump_stack() is used for debugging purposes when something went wrong, so it does make sense to print additional information on the task which triggered dump_stack(). There's no reason to require archs to implement two separate but mostly identical functions. It leads to unnecessary subtle information. This patch expands the dummy fallback dump_stack() implementation in lib/dump_stack.c such that it prints out debug information (taken from x86) and invokes show_stack(NULL, NULL) and drops arch-specific dump_stack() implementations in all archs except blackfin. Blackfin's dump_stack() does something wonky that I don't understand. Debug information can be printed separately by calling dump_stack_print_info() so that arch-specific dump_stack() implementation can still emit the same debug information. This is used in blackfin. This patch brings the following behavior changes. * On some archs, an extra level in backtrace for show_stack() could be printed. This is because the top frame was determined in dump_stack() on those archs while generic dump_stack() can't do that reliably. It can be compensated by inlining dump_stack() but not sure whether that'd be necessary. * Most archs didn't use to print debug info on dump_stack(). They do now. An example WARN dump follows.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo: - Fixes and a lot of cleanups. Locking cleanup is finally complete. cgroup_mutex is no longer exposed to individual controlelrs which used to cause nasty deadlock issues. Li fixed and cleaned up quite a bit including long standing ones like racy cgroup_path(). - device cgroup now supports proper hierarchy thanks to Aristeu. - perf_event cgroup now supports proper hierarchy. - A new mount option "__DEVEL__sane_behavior" is added. As indicated by the name, this option is to be used for development only at this point and generates a warning message when used. Unfortunately, cgroup interface currently has too many brekages and inconsistencies to implement a consistent and unified hierarchy on top. The new flag is used to collect the behavior changes which are necessary to implement consistent unified hierarchy. It's likely that this flag won't be used verbatim when it becomes ready but will be enabled implicitly along with unified hierarchy. The option currently disables some of broken behaviors in cgroup core and also .use_hierarchy switch in memcg (will be routed through -mm), which can be used to make very unusual hierarchy where nesting is partially honored. It will also be used to implement hierarchy support for blk-throttle which would be impossible otherwise without introducing a full separate set of control knobs. This is essentially versioning of interface which isn't very nice but at this point I can't see any other options which would allow keeping the interface the same while moving towards hierarchy behavior which is at least somewhat sane. The planned unified hierarchy is likely to require some level of adaptation from userland anyway, so I think it'd be best to take the chance and update the interface such that it's supportable in the long term. Maintaining the existing interface does complicate cgroup core but shouldn't put too much strain on individual controllers and I think it'd be manageable for the foreseeable future. Maybe we'll be able to drop it in a decade.

Pull workqueue updates from Tejun Heo: "A lot of activities on workqueue side this time. The changes achieve the followings. - WQ_UNBOUND workqueues - the workqueues which are per-cpu - are updated to be able to interface with multiple backend worker pools. This involved a lot of churning but the end result seems actually neater as unbound workqueues are now a lot closer to per-cpu ones. - The ability to interface with multiple backend worker pools are used to implement unbound workqueues with custom attributes. Currently the supported attributes are the nice level and CPU affinity. It may be expanded to include cgroup association in future. The attributes can be specified either by calling apply_workqueue_attrs() or through /sys/bus/workqueue/WQ_NAME/* if the workqueue in question is exported through sysfs. The backend worker pools are keyed by the actual attributes and shared by any workqueues which share the same attributes. When attributes of a workqueue are changed, the workqueue binds to the worker pool with the specified attributes while leaving the work items which are already executing in its previous worker pools alone. This allows converting custom worker pool implementations which want worker attribute tuning to use workqueues. The writeback pool is already converted in block tree and there are a couple others are likely to follow including btrfs io workers. - WQ_UNBOUND's ability to bind to multiple worker pools is also used to make it NUMA-aware. Because there's no association between work item issuer and the specific worker assigned to execute it, before this change, using unbound workqueue led to unnecessary cross-node bouncing and it couldn't be helped by autonuma as it requires tasks to have implicit node affinity and workers are assigned randomly. After these changes, an unbound workqueue now binds to multiple NUMA-affine worker pools so that queued work items are executed in the same node. This is turned on by default but can be disabled system-wide or for individual workqueues. Crypto was requesting NUMA affinity as encrypting data across different nodes can contribute noticeable overhead and doing it per-cpu was too limiting for certain cases and IO throughput could be bottlenecked by one CPU being fully occupied while others have idle cycles. While the new features required a lot of changes including restructuring locking, it didn't complicate the execution paths much. The unbound workqueue handling is now closer to per-cpu ones and the new features are implemented by simply associating a workqueue with different sets of backend worker pools without changing queue, execution or flush paths. As such, even though the amount of change is very high, I feel relatively safe in that it isn't likely to cause subtle issues with basic correctness of work item execution and handling. If something is wrong, it's likely to show up as being associated with worker pools with the wrong attributes or OOPS while workqueue attributes are being changed or during CPU hotplug. While this creates more backend worker pools, it doesn't add too many more workers unless, of course, there are many workqueues with unique combinations of attributes. Assuming everything else is the same, NUMA awareness costs an extra worker pool per NUMA node with online CPUs. There are also a couple things which are being routed outside the workqueue tree. - block tree pulled in workqueue for-3.10 so that writeback worker pool can be converted to unbound workqueue with sysfs control exposed. This simplifies the code, makes writeback workers NUMA-aware and allows tuning nice level and CPU affinity via sysfs. - The conversion to workqueue means that there's no 1:1 association between a specific worker, which makes writeback folks unhappy as they want to be able to tell which filesystem caused a problem from backtrace on systems with many filesystems mounted. This is resolved by allowing work items to set debug info string which is printed when the task is dumped. As this change involves unifying implementations of dump_stack() and friends in arch codes, it's being routed through Andrew's -mm tree." * 'for-3.10' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq: (84 commits) workqueue: use kmem_cache_free() instead of kfree() workqueue: avoid false negative WARN_ON() in destroy_workqueue() workqueue: update sysfs interface to reflect NUMA awareness and a kernel param to disable NUMA affinity workqueue: implement NUMA affinity for unbound workqueues workqueue: introduce put_pwq_unlocked() workqueue: introduce numa_pwq_tbl_install() workqueue: use NUMA-aware allocation for pool_workqueues workqueue: break init_and_link_pwq() into two functions and introduce alloc_unbound_pwq() workqueue: map an unbound workqueues to multiple per-node pool_workqueues workqueue: move hot fields of workqueue_struct to the end workqueue: make workqueue->name[] fixed len workqueue: add workqueue->unbound_attrs workqueue: determine NUMA node of workers accourding to the allowed cpumask workqueue: drop 'H' from kworker names of unbound worker pools workqueue: add wq_numa_tbl_len and wq_numa_possible_cpumask[] workqueue: move pwq_pool_locking outside of get/put_unbound_pool() workqueue: fix memory leak in apply_workqueue_attrs() workqueue: fix unbound workqueue attrs hashing / comparison workqueue: fix race condition in unbound workqueue free path workqueue: remove pwq_lock which is no longer used ...

So when we release a resource structure, we should check whether it is allocated by bootmem or not. But even if we know a resource structure is allocated by bootmem, we cannot release it since SLxB cannot treat it. So for reusing a resource structure, this patch remembers it by using bootmem_resource as follows: When releasing a resource structure by free_resource(), free_resource() checks whether the resource structure is allocated by bootmem or not. If it is allocated by bootmem, free_resource() adds it to bootmem_resource. If it is not allocated by bootmem, free_resource() release it by kfree(). And when getting a new resource structure by get_resource(), get_resource() checks whether bootmem_resource has released resource structures or not. If there is a released resource structure, get_resource() returns it. If there is not a releaed resource structure, get_resource() returns new resource structure allocated by kzalloc().

2013-04-29resource: add release_mem_region_adjustable()Toshi Kani1-0/+103
Add release_mem_region_adjustable(), which releases a requested region from a currently busy memory resource. This interface adjusts the matched memory resource accordingly even if the requested region does not match exactly but still fits into. This new interface is intended for memory hot-delete. During bootup, memory resources are inserted from the boot descriptor table, such as EFI Memory Table and e820. Each memory resource entry usually covers the whole contigous memory range. Memory hot-delete request, on the other hand, may target to a particular range of memory resource, and its size can be much smaller than the whole contiguous memory. Since the existing release interfaces like __release_region() require a requested region to be exactly matched to a resource entry, they do not allow a partial resource to be released. This new interface is restrictive (i.e. release under certain conditions), which is consistent with other release interfaces, __release_region() and __release_resource(). Additional release conditions, such as an overlapping region to a resource entry, can be supported after they are confirmed as valid cases. There is no change to the existing interfaces since their restriction is valid for I/O resources.

2013-04-29mm: replace hardcoded 3% with admin_reserve_pages knobAndrew Shewmaker1-0/+7
Add an admin_reserve_kbytes knob to allow admins to change the hardcoded memory reserve to something other than 3%, which may be multiple gigabytes on large memory systems. Only about 8MB is necessary to enable recovery in the default mode, and only a few hundred MB are required even when overcommit is disabled. This affects OVERCOMMIT_GUESS and OVERCOMMIT_NEVER. admin_reserve_kbytes is initialized to min(3% free pages, 8MB) I arrived at 8MB by summing the RSS of sshd or login, bash, and top. Please see first patch in this series for full background, motivation, testing, and full changelog.

2013-04-29mm: limit growth of 3% hardcoded other user reserveAndrew Shewmaker1-0/+7
Add user_reserve_kbytes knob. Limit the growth of the memory reserved for other user processes to min(3% current process size, user_reserve_pages). Only about 8MB is necessary to enable recovery in the default mode, and only a few hundred MB are required even when overcommit is disabled. user_reserve_pages defaults to min(3% free pages, 128MB) I arrived at 128MB by taking the max VSZ of sshd, login, bash, and top ... then adding the RSS of each. This only affects OVERCOMMIT_NEVER mode. Background 1. user reserve __vm_enough_memory reserves a hardcoded 3% of the current process size for other applications when overcommit is disabled. This was done so that a user could recover if they launched a memory hogging process. Without the reserve, a user would easily run into a message such as: bash: fork: Cannot allocate memory 2. admin reserve Additionally, a hardcoded 3% of free memory is reserved for root in both overcommit 'guess' and 'never' modes. This was intended to prevent a scenario where root-cant-log-in and perform recovery operations. Note that this reserve shrinks, and doesn't guarantee a useful reserve. Motivation The two hardcoded memory reserves should be updated to account for current memory sizes. Also, the admin reserve would be more useful if it didn't shrink too much. When the current code was originally written, 1GB was considered "enterprise". Now the 3% reserve can grow to multiple GB on large memory systems, and it only needs to be a few hundred MB at most to enable a user or admin to recover a system with an unwanted memory hogging process. I've found that reducing these reserves is especially beneficial for a specific type of application load: * single application system * one or few processes (e.g. one per core) * allocating all available memory * not initializing every page immediately * long running I've run scientific clusters with this sort of load. A long running job sometimes failed many hours (weeks of CPU time) into a calculation. They weren't initializing all of their memory immediately, and they weren't using calloc, so I put systems into overcommit 'never' mode. These clusters run diskless and have no swap. However, with the current reserves, a user wishing to allocate as much memory as possible to one process may be prevented from using, for example, almost 2GB out of 32GB. The effect is less, but still significant when a user starts a job with one process per core. I have repeatedly seen a set of processes requesting the same amount of memory fail because one of them could not allocate the amount of memory a user would expect to be able to allocate. For example, Message Passing Interfce (MPI) processes, one per core. And it is similar for other parallel programming frameworks. Changing this reserve code will make the overcommit never mode more useful by allowing applications to allocate nearly all of the available memory. Also, the new admin_reserve_kbytes will be safer than the current behavior since the hardcoded 3% of available memory reserve can shrink to something useless in the case where applications have grabbed all available memory. Risks * "bash: fork: Cannot allocate memory" The downside of the first patch-- which creates a tunable user reserve that is only used in overcommit 'never' mode--is that an admin can set it so low that a user may not be able to kill their process, even if they already have a shell prompt. Of course, a user can get in the same predicament with the current 3% reserve--they just have to launch processes until 3% becomes negligible. * root-cant-log-in problem The second patch, adding the tunable rootuser_reserve_pages, allows the admin to shoot themselves in the foot by setting it too small. They can easily get the system into a state where root-can't-log-in. However, the new admin_reserve_kbytes will be safer than the current behavior since the hardcoded 3% of available memory reserve can shrink to something useless in the case where applications have grabbed all available memory. Alternatives * Memory cgroups provide a more flexible way to limit application memory. Not everyone wants to set up cgroups or deal with their overhead. * We could create a fourth overcommit mode which provides smaller reserves. The size of useful reserves may be drastically different depending on the whether the system is embedded or enterprise. * Force users to initialize all of their memory or use calloc. Some users don't want/expect the system to overcommit when they malloc. Overcommit 'never' mode is for this scenario, and it should work well. The new user and admin reserve tunables are simple to use, with low overhead compared to cgroups. The patches preserve current behavior where 3% of memory is less than 128MB, except that the admin reserve doesn't shrink to an unusable size under pressure. The code allows admins to tune for embedded and enterprise usage. FAQ * How is the root-cant-login problem addressed? What happens if admin_reserve_pages is set to 0? Root is free to shoot themselves in the foot by setting admin_reserve_kbytes too low. On x86_64, the minimum useful reserve is: 8MB for overcommit 'guess' 128MB for overcommit 'never' admin_reserve_pages defaults to min(3% free memory, 8MB) So, anyone switching to 'never' mode needs to adjust admin_reserve_pages. * How do you calculate a minimum useful reserve? A user or the admin needs enough memory to login and perform recovery operations, which includes, at a minimum: sshd or login + bash (or some other shell) + top (or ps, kill, etc.) For overcommit 'guess', we can sum resident set sizes (RSS) because we only need enough memory to handle what the recovery programs will typically use. On x86_64 this is about 8MB. For overcommit 'never', we can take the max of their virtual sizes (VSZ) and add the sum of their RSS. We use VSZ instead of RSS because mode forces us to ensure we can fulfill all of the requested memory allocations-- even if the programs only use a fraction of what they ask for. On x86_64 this is about 128MB. When swap is enabled, reserves are useful even when they are as small as 10MB, regardless of overcommit mode. When both swap and overcommit are disabled, then the admin should tune the reserves higher to be absolutley safe. Over 230MB each was safest in my testing. * What happens if user_reserve_pages is set to 0? Note, this only affects overcomitt 'never' mode. Then a user will be able to allocate all available memory minus admin_reserve_kbytes. However, they will easily see a message such as: "bash: fork: Cannot allocate memory" And they won't be able to recover/kill their application. The admin should be able to recover the system if admin_reserve_kbytes is set appropriately. * What's the difference between overcommit 'guess' and 'never'? "Guess" allows an allocation if there are enough free + reclaimable pages. It has a hardcoded 3% of free pages reserved for root. "Never" allows an allocation if there is enough swap + a configurable percentage (default is 50) of physical RAM. It has a hardcoded 3% of free pages reserved for root, like "Guess" mode. It also has a hardcoded 3% of the current process size reserved for additional applications. * Why is overcommit 'guess' not suitable even when an app eventually writes to every page? It takes free pages, file pages, available swap pages, reclaimable slab pages into consideration. In other words, these are all pages available, then why isn't overcommit suitable? Because it only looks at the present state of the system. It does not take into account the memory that other applications have malloced, but haven't initialized yet. It overcommits the system. Test Summary There was little change in behavior in the default overcommit 'guess' mode with swap enabled before and after the patch. This was expected. Systems run most predictably (i.e. no oom kills) in overcommit 'never' mode with swap enabled. This also allowed the most memory to be allocated to a user application. Overcommit 'guess' mode without swap is a bad idea. It is easy to crash the system. None of the other tested combinations crashed. This matches my experience on the Roadrunner supercomputer. Without the tunable user reserve, a system in overcommit 'never' mode and without swap does not allow the admin to recover, although the admin can. With the new tunable reserves, a system in overcommit 'never' mode and without swap can be configured to: 1. maximize user-allocatable memory, running close to the edge of recoverability 2. maximize recoverability, sacrificing allocatable memory to ensure that a user cannot take down a system Test Description Fedora 18 VM - 4 x86_64 cores, 5725MB RAM, 4GB Swap System is booted into multiuser console mode, with unnecessary services turned off.

2013-04-29kthread: kill task_get_live_kthread()Oleg Nesterov1-13/+7
task_get_live_kthread() looks confusing and unneeded. It does get_task_struct() but only kthread_stop() needs this, it can be called even if the calller doesn't have a reference when we know that this kthread can't exit until we do kthread_stop(). kthread_park() and kthread_unpark() do not need get_task_struct(), the callers already have the reference. And it can not help if we can race with the exiting kthread anyway, kthread_park() can hang forever in this case. Change kthread_park() and kthread_unpark() to use to_live_kthread(), change kthread_stop() to do get_task_struct() by hand and remove task_get_live_kthread().
