2013-10-31lib/scatterlist.c: don't flush_kernel_dcache_page on slab pageMing Lei1-1/+2
Commit b1adaf65ba03 ("[SCSI] block: add sg buffer copy helper functions") introduces two sg buffer copy helpers, and calls flush_kernel_dcache_page() on pages in SG list after these pages are written to. Unfortunately, the commit may introduce a potential bug: - Before sending some SCSI commands, kmalloc() buffer may be passed to block layper, so flush_kernel_dcache_page() can see a slab page finally - According to cachetlb.txt, flush_kernel_dcache_page() is only called on "a user page", which surely can't be a slab page. - ARCH's implementation of flush_kernel_dcache_page() may use page mapping information to do optimization so page_mapping() will see the slab page, then VM_BUG_ON() is triggered. Aaro Koskinen reported the bug on ARM/kirkwood when DEBUG_VM is enabled, and this patch fixes the bug by adding test of '!PageSlab(miter->page)' before calling flush_kernel_dcache_page().

Make use of arch_mutex_cpu_relax() so architectures can override the default cpu_relax() semantics. This is especially useful for s390, where cpu_relax() means that we yield() the current (virtual) cpu and therefore is very expensive, and would contradict the whole purpose of the lockless cmpxchg loop.

2013-09-27lockref: allow relaxed cmpxchg64 variant for lockless updatesWill Deacon1-2/+11
The 64-bit cmpxchg operation on the lockref is ordered by virtue of hazarding between the cmpxchg operation and the reference count manipulation. On weakly ordered memory architectures (such as ARM), it can be of great benefit to omit the barrier instructions where they are not needed. This patch moves the lockless lockref code over to a cmpxchg64_relaxed operation, which doesn't provide barrier semantics. If the operation isn't defined, we simply #define it as the usual 64-bit cmpxchg macro.

2013-09-20lockref: use cmpxchg64 explicitly for lockless updatesWill Deacon1-2/+2
The cmpxchg() function tends not to support 64-bit arguments on 32-bit architectures. This could be either due to use of unsigned long arguments (like on ARM) or lack of instruction support (cmpxchgq on x86). However, these architectures may implement a specific cmpxchg64() function to provide 64-bit cmpxchg support instead. Since the lockref code requires a 64-bit cmpxchg and relies on the architecture selecting ARCH_USE_CMPXCHG_LOCKREF, move to using cmpxchg64 instead of cmpxchg and allow 32-bit architectures to make use of the lockless lockref implementation.

Unfortunately, even with a softdep some distros fail to include the necessary modules in the initrd. Therefore this patch adds a fallback path to restore existing behaviour where we cannot load the new crypto crct10dif algorithm.

2013-09-11lib/radix-tree.c: make radix_tree_node_alloc() work correctly within interruptJan Kara1-2/+39
With users of radix_tree_preload() run from interrupt (block/blk-ioc.c is one such possible user), the following race can happen: radix_tree_preload() ... radix_tree_insert() radix_tree_node_alloc() if (rtp->nr) { ret = rtp->nodes[rtp->nr - 1]; <interrupt> ... radix_tree_preload() ... radix_tree_insert() radix_tree_node_alloc() if (rtp->nr) { ret = rtp->nodes[rtp->nr - 1]; And we give out one radix tree node twice. That clearly results in radix tree corruption with different results (usually OOPS) depending on which two users of radix tree race. We fix the problem by making radix_tree_node_alloc() always allocate fresh radix tree nodes when in interrupt. Using preloading when in interrupt doesn't make sense since all the allocations have to be atomic anyway and we cannot steal nodes from process-context users because some users rely on radix_tree_insert() succeeding after radix_tree_preload(). in_interrupt() check is somewhat ugly but we cannot simply key off passed gfp_mask as that is acquired from root_gfp_mask() and thus the same for all preload users. Another part of the fix is to avoid node preallocation in radix_tree_preload() when passed gfp_mask doesn't allow waiting. Again, preallocation in such case doesn't make sense and when preallocation would happen in interrupt we could possibly leak some allocated nodes. However, some users of radix_tree_preload() require following radix_tree_insert() to succeed. To avoid unexpected effects for these users, radix_tree_preload() only warns if passed gfp mask doesn't allow waiting and we provide a new function radix_tree_maybe_preload() for those users which get different gfp mask from different call sites and which are prepared to handle radix_tree_insert() failure.

2013-09-11rbtree: add postorder iteration functionsCody P Schafer1-0/+40
Postorder iteration yields all of a node's children prior to yielding the node itself, and this particular implementation also avoids examining the leaf links in a node after that node has been yielded. In what I expect will be its most common usage, postorder iteration allows the deletion of every node in an rbtree without modifying the rbtree nodes (no _requirement_ that they be nulled) while avoiding referencing child nodes after they have been "deleted" (most commonly, freed). I have only updated zswap to use this functionality at this point, but numerous bits of code (most notably in the filesystem drivers) use a hand rolled postorder iteration that NULLs child links as it traverses the tree. Each of those instances could be replaced with this common implementation. 1 & 2 add rbtree postorder iteration functions. 3 adds testing of the iteration to the rbtree runtime tests 4 allows building the rbtree runtime tests as builtins 5 updates zswap. This patch: Add postorder iteration functions for rbtree. These are useful for safely freeing an entire rbtree without modifying the tree at all.

2013-09-11lib/decompressors: fix "no limit" output buffer lengthAlexandre Courbot1-1/+1
When decompressing into memory, the output buffer length is set to some arbitrarily high value (0x7fffffff) to indicate the output is, virtually, unlimited in size. The problem with this is that some platforms have their physical memory at high physical addresses (0x80000000 or more), and that the output buffer address and its "unlimited" length cannot be added without overflowing. An example of this can be found in inflate_fast(): /* next_out is the output buffer address */ out = strm->next_out - OFF; /* avail_out is the output buffer size. end will overflow if the output * address is >= 0x80000104 */ end = out + (strm->avail_out - 257); This has huge consequences on the performance of kernel decompression, since the following exit condition of inflate_fast() will be always true: } while (in < last && out < end); Indeed, "end" has overflowed and is now always lower than "out". As a result, inflate_fast() will return after processing one single byte of input data, and will thus need to be called an unreasonably high number of times. This probably went unnoticed because kernel decompression is fast enough even with this issue. Nonetheless, adjusting the output buffer length in such a way that the above pointer arithmetic never overflows results in a kernel decompression that is about 3 times faster on affected machines.

2013-09-09idr: Percpu idaKent Overstreet2-2/+338
Percpu frontend for allocating ids. With percpu allocation (that works), it's impossible to guarantee it will always be possible to allocate all nr_tags - typically, some will be stuck on a remote percpu freelist where the current job can't get to them. We do guarantee that it will always be possible to allocate at least (nr_tags / 2) tags - this is done by keeping track of which and how many cpus have tags on their percpu freelists. On allocation failure if enough cpus have tags that there could potentially be (nr_tags / 2) tags stuck on remote percpu freelists, we then pick a remote cpu at random to steal from.

2013-09-07lockref: add ability to mark lockrefs "dead"Linus Torvalds1-0/+38
The only actual current lockref user (dcache) uses zero reference counts even for perfectly live dentries, because it's a cache: there may not be any users, but that doesn't mean that we want to throw away the dentry. At the same time, the dentry cache does have a notion of a truly "dead" dentry that we must not even increment the reference count of, because we have pruned it and it is not valid. Currently that distinction is not visible in the lockref itself, and the dentry cache validation uses "lockref_get_or_lock()" to either get a new reference to a dentry that already had existing references (and thus cannot be dead), or get the dentry lock so that we can then verify the dentry and increment the reference count under the lock if that verification was successful. That's all somewhat complicated. This adds the concept of being "dead" to the lockref itself, by simply using a count that is negative. This allows a usage scenario where we can increment the refcount of a dentry without having to validate it, and pushing the special "we killed it" case into the lockref code. The dentry code itself doesn't actually use this yet, and it's probably too late in the merge window to do that code (the dentry_kill() code with its "should I decrement the count" logic really is pretty complex code), but let's introduce the concept at the lockref level now.

2013-09-02lockref: implement lockless reference count updates using cmpxchg()Linus Torvalds2-1/+69
Instead of taking the spinlock, the lockless versions atomically check that the lock is not taken, and do the reference count update using a cmpxchg() loop. This is semantically identical to doing the reference count update protected by the lock, but avoids the "wait for lock" contention that you get when accesses to the reference count are contended. Note that a "lockref" is absolutely _not_ equivalent to an atomic_t. Even when the lockref reference counts are updated atomically with cmpxchg, the fact that they also verify the state of the spinlock means that the lockless updates can never happen while somebody else holds the spinlock. So while "lockref_put_or_lock()" looks a lot like just another name for "atomic_dec_and_lock()", and both optimize to lockless updates, they are fundamentally different: the decrement done by atomic_dec_and_lock() is truly independent of any lock (as long as it doesn't decrement to zero), so a locked region can still see the count change. The lockref structure, in contrast, really is a *locked* reference count. If you hold the spinlock, the reference count will be stable and you can modify the reference count without using atomics, because even the lockless updates will see and respect the state of the lock. In order to enable the cmpxchg lockless code, the architecture needs to do three things: (1) Make sure that the "arch_spinlock_t" and an "unsigned int" can fit in an aligned u64, and have a "cmpxchg()" implementation that works on such a u64 data type. (2) define a helper function to test for a spinlock being unlocked ("arch_spin_value_unlocked()") (3) select the "ARCH_USE_CMPXCHG_LOCKREF" config variable in its Kconfig file. This enables it for x86-64 (but not 32-bit, we'd need to make sure cmpxchg() turns into the proper cmpxchg8b in order to enable it for 32-bit mode).

2013-09-02lockref: uninline lockref helper functionsLinus Torvalds2-0/+70
They aren't very good to inline, since they already call external functions (the spinlock code), and we're going to create rather more complicated versions of them that can do the reference count updates locklessly. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2013-08-28sysfs: Restrict mounting sysfsEric W. Biederman1-0/+15
Don't allow mounting sysfs unless the caller has CAP_SYS_ADMIN rights over the net namespace. The principle here is if you create or have capabilities over it you can mount it, otherwise you get to live with what other people have mounted. Instead of testing this with a straight forward ns_capable call, perform this check the long and torturous way with kobject helpers, this keeps direct knowledge of namespaces out of sysfs, and preserves the existing sysfs abstractions.

2013-08-28dynamic debug: line queries failing due to uninitialized local variablejbaron@akamai.com1-1/+1
Settings of the form, 'line x module y +p', can fail arbitrarily due to an uninitialized local variable. With this patch results are consistent, as expected. Signed-off-by: Jason Baron <jbaron@akamai.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
