2012-09-30x86, um/x86: switch to generic sys_execve and kernel_execveAl Viro17-158/+34
32bit wrapper is lost on that; 64bit one is *not*, since we need to arrange for full pt_regs on stack when we call sys_execve() and we need to load callee-saved ones from there afterwards. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

2012-09-30arm: optimized current_pt_regs()Al Viro1-0/+5
... no need to read current_thread_info()->task only to feed it to task_thread_page() immediately afterwards. Moreover, not using current_thread_info() at all ends up with better assembler - we need a location very close to the top of kernel stack page and it's actually better to do or with 0x1fff, followed be subtracting a small constant than and with ~0x1fff, followed by adding a large one. Both & and | would be a couple of insns (mvn lsr/mvn lsl for |, a pair of bic for &), but the following addition would cost a pair of add while the subtraction ends up as a single sub.

2012-09-30generic kernel_execve()Al Viro2-0/+27
based mostly on arm and alpha versions. Architectures can define __ARCH_WANT_KERNEL_EXECVE and use it, provided that * they have working current_pt_regs(), even for kernel threads. * kernel_thread-spawned threads do have space for pt_regs in the normal location. Normally that's as simple as switching to generic kernel_thread() and making sure that kernel threads do *not* go through return from syscall path; call the payload from equivalent of ret_from_fork if we are in a kernel thread (or just have separate ret_from_kernel_thread and make copy_thread() use it instead of ret_from_fork in kernel thread case). * they have ret_from_kernel_execve(); it is called after successful do_execve() done by kernel_execve() and gets normal pt_regs location passed to it as argument. It's essentially a longjmp() analog - it should set sp, etc. to the situation expected at the return for syscall and go there. Eventually the need for that sucker will disappear, but that'll take some surgery on kernel_thread() payloads. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2012-09-30new helper: current_pt_regs()Al Viro1-0/+4
Normally (and that's the default) it's just task_pt_regs(current). However, if an architecture can optimize that, it can do so by making a macro of its own available from asm/ptrace.h. More importantly, some architectures have task_pt_regs() working only for traced tasks blocked on signal delivery. current_pt_regs() needs to work for *all* processes, so before those architectures start using stuff relying on current_pt_regs() they'll need a properly working variant.

While pretty late in the merge cycle, both changes are on the safer side. Jiri and I verified two existing users of work_on_cpu() and Duncan confirmed that the powernow-k8 fix survived about 18 hours of testing." * 'for-3.6-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq: cpufreq/powernow-k8: workqueue user shouldn't migrate the kworker to another CPU workqueue: reimplement work_on_cpu() using system_wq
2012-09-19cpufreq/powernow-k8: workqueue user shouldn't migrate the kworker to another CPUTejun Heo1-29/+34
powernowk8_target() runs off a per-cpu work item and if the cpufreq_policy->cpu is different from the current one, it migrates the kworker to the target CPU by manipulating current->cpus_allowed. The function migrates the kworker back to the original CPU but this is still broken. Workqueue concurrency management requires the kworkers to stay on the same CPU and powernowk8_target() ends up triggerring BUG_ON(rq != this_rq()) in try_to_wake_up_local() if it contends on fidvid_mutex and sleeps. It is unclear why this bug is being reported now. Duncan says it appeared to be a regression of 3.6-rc1 and couldn't reproduce it on 3.5. Bisection seemed to point to 63d95a91 "workqueue: use @pool instead of @gcwq or @cpu where applicable" which is an non-functional change. Given that the reproduce case sometimes took upto days to trigger, it's easy to be misled while bisecting. Maybe something made contention on fidvid_mutex more likely? I don't know. This patch fixes the bug by using work_on_cpu() instead if @pol->cpu isn't the same as the current one. The code assumes that cpufreq_policy->cpu is kept online by the caller, which Rafael tells me is the case. stable: ed48ece27c ("workqueue: reimplement work_on_cpu() using system_wq") should be applied before this; otherwise, the behavior could be horrible.

2012-09-19workqueue: reimplement work_on_cpu() using system_wqTejun Heo1-17/+8
The existing work_on_cpu() implementation is hugely inefficient. It creates a new kthread, execute that single function and then let the kthread die on each invocation. Now that system_wq can handle concurrent executions, there's no advantage of doing this. Reimplement work_on_cpu() using system_wq which makes it simpler and way more efficient. stable: While this isn't a fix in itself, it's needed to fix a workqueue related bug in cpufreq/powernow-k8. AFAICS, this shouldn't break other existing users.

2012-09-19md: make sure metadata is updated when spares are activated or removed.NeilBrown1-1/+5
It isn't always necessary to update the metadata when spares are removed as the presence-or-not of a spare isn't really important to the integrity of an array. Also activating a spare doesn't always require updating the metadata as the update on 'recovery-completed' is usually sufficient. However the introduction of 'replacement' devices have made these transitions sometimes more important. For example the 'Replacement' flag isn't cleared until the original device is removed, so we need to ensure a metadata update after that 'spare' is removed. So set MD_CHANGE_DEVS whenever a spare is activated or removed, to complement the current situation where it is set when a spare is added or a device is failed (or a number of other less common situations). This is suitable for -stable as out-of-data metadata could lead to data corruption. This is only relevant for 3.3 and later 9when 'replacement' as introduced.

2012-09-19md/raid5: fix calculate of 'degraded' when a replacement becomes active.NeilBrown1-0/+4
When a replacement device becomes active, we mark the device that it replaces as 'faulty' so that it can subsequently get removed. However 'calc_degraded' only pays attention to the primary device, not the replacement, so the array appears to become degraded, which is wrong. So teach 'calc_degraded' to consider any replacement if a primary device is faulty. This is suitable for -stable as an incorrect 'degraded' value can confuse md and could lead to data corruption. This is only relevant for 3.3 and later.

Large sequential O_DIRECT writes were faster, Small random O_DIRECT writes were slower. Other changes (batching RAID5 writes) have improved the sequential writes using a different mechanism, so the net result of this patch is definitely negative. So revert it.

2012-09-18vfs: dcache: use DCACHE_DENTRY_KILLED instead of DCACHE_DISCONNECTED in d_kill()Miklos Szeredi2-2/+4
IBM reported a soft lockup after applying the fix for the rename_lock deadlock. Commit c83ce989cb5f ("VFS: Fix the nfs sillyrename regression in kernel 2.6.38") was found to be the culprit. The nfs sillyrename fix used DCACHE_DISCONNECTED to indicate that the dentry was killed. This flag can be set on non-killed dentries too, which results in infinite retries when trying to traverse the dentry tree. This patch introduces a separate flag: DCACHE_DENTRY_KILLED, which is only set in d_kill() and makes try_to_ascend() test only this flag. IBM reported successful test results with this patch.

If a command completes with a status of CMD_PROTOCOL_ERR, this information should be conveyed to the SCSI mid layer, not dropped on the floor. Unlike a similar bug in the hpsa driver, this bug only affects tape drives and CD and DVD ROM drives in the cciss driver, and to induce it, you have to disconnect (or damage) a cable, so it is not a very likely scenario (which would explain why the bug has gone undetected for the last 10 years.)

busy_worker_rebind_fn() didn't clear WORKER_REBIND if rebinding failed (CPU is down again). This used to be okay because the flag wasn't used for anything else. However, after 25511a477 "workqueue: reimplement CPU online rebinding to handle idle workers", WORKER_REBIND is also used to command idle workers to rebind. If not cleared, the worker may confuse the next CPU_UP cycle by having REBIND spuriously set or oops / get stuck by prematurely calling idle_worker_rebind().

For example, on my Itanium platform, the pfn range of node0 includes the other nodes, so other nodes' section info will be double registered, and memmap's page count will equal to 3. node0: start_pfn=0x100, spanned_pfn=0x20fb00, present_pfn=0x7f8a3, => 0x000100-0x20fc00 node1: start_pfn=0x80000, spanned_pfn=0x80000, present_pfn=0x80000, => 0x080000-0x100000 node2: start_pfn=0x100000, spanned_pfn=0x80000, present_pfn=0x80000, => 0x100000-0x180000 node3: start_pfn=0x180000, spanned_pfn=0x80000, present_pfn=0x80000, => 0x180000-0x200000 free_all_bootmem_node() register_page_bootmem_info_node() register_page_bootmem_info_section() When hot remove memory, we can't free the memmap's page because page_count() is 2 after put_page_bootmem(). sparse_remove_one_section() free_section_usemap() free_map_bootmem() put_page_bootmem() [akpm@linux-foundation.org: add code comment] Signed-off-by: Xishi Qiu <qiuxishi@huawei.com> Signed-off-by: Jiang Liu <jiang.liu@huawei.com> Acked-by: Mel Gorman <mgorman@suse.de> Cc: "Luck, Tony" <tony.luck@intel.com> Cc: Yasuaki Ishimatsu <isimatu.yasuaki@jp.fujitsu.com> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2012-09-17mm/page_alloc: fix the page address of higher page's buddy calculationLi Haifeng1-1/+1
The heuristic method for buddy has been introduced since commit 43506fad21ca ("mm/page_alloc.c: simplify calculation of combined index of adjacent buddy lists"). But the page address of higher page's buddy was wrongly calculated, which will lead page_is_buddy to fail for ever. IOW, the heuristic method would be disabled with the wrong page address of higher page's buddy. Calculating the page address of higher page's buddy should be based higher_page with the offset between index of higher page and index of higher page's buddy.

2012-09-17drivers/rtc/rtc-twl.c: ensure all interrupts are disabled during probeKevin Hilman1-0/+5
On some platforms, bootloaders are known to do some interesting RTC programming. Without going into the obscurities as to why this may be the case, suffice it to say the the driver should not make any assumptions about the state of the RTC when the driver loads. In particular, the driver probe should be sure that all interrupts are disabled until otherwise programmed. This was discovered when finding bursty I2C traffic every second on Overo platforms. This I2C overhead was keeping the SoC from hitting deep power states. The cause was found to be the RTC firing every second on the I2C-connected TWL PMIC. Special thanks to Felipe Balbi for suggesting to look for a rogue driver as the source of the I2C traffic rather than the I2C driver itself. Special thanks to Steve Sakoman for helping track down the source of the continuous RTC interrups on the Overo boards.

The kernel doesn't check the pid for negative values, so if you try to write -2 to /proc/sys/kernel/ns_last_pid, you will get a kernel panic. The crash happens because the next pid is -1, and alloc_pidmap() will try to access to a nonexistent pidmap. map = &pid_ns->pidmap[pid/BITS_PER_PAGE]; Signed-off-by: Andrew Vagin <avagin@openvz.org> Acked-by: Cyrill Gorcunov <gorcunov@openvz.org> Acked-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Cc: Eric W.

Commit c76562b6709f ("netvm: prevent a stream-specific deadlock") accidentally replaced the "size" parameter of sk_rmem_schedule() with an unsigned int. This changes the semantics of the comparison in the return statement. In sk_wmem_schedule we have syntactically the same comparison, but "size" is a signed integer. In addition, __sk_mem_schedule() takes a signed integer for its "size" parameter, so there is an implicit type conversion in sk_rmem_schedule() anyway. Revert the "size" parameter back to a signed integer so that the semantics of the expressions in both sk_[rw]mem_schedule() are exactly the same.

2012-09-17slub: consider pfmemalloc_match() in get_partial_node()Joonsoo Kim1-5/+10
get_partial() is currently not checking pfmemalloc_match() meaning that it is possible for pfmemalloc pages to leak to non-pfmemalloc users. This is a problem in the following situation. Assume that there is a request from normal allocation and there are no objects in the per-cpu cache and no node-partial slab. In this case, slab_alloc enters the slow path and new_slab_objects() is called which may return a PFMEMALLOC page. As the current user is not allowed to access PFMEMALLOC page, deactivate_slab() is called ([5091b74a: mm: slub: optimise the SLUB fast path to avoid pfmemalloc checks]) and returns an object from PFMEMALLOC page. Next time, when we get another request from normal allocation, slab_alloc() enters the slow-path and calls new_slab_objects(). In new_slab_objects(), we call get_partial() and get a partial slab which was just deactivated but is a pfmemalloc page. We extract one object from it and re-deactivate. "deactivate -> re-get in get_partial -> re-deactivate" occures repeatedly. As a result, access to PFMEMALLOC page is not properly restricted and it can cause a performance degradation due to frequent deactivation. deactivation frequently. This patch changes get_partial_node() to take pfmemalloc_match() into account and prevents the "deactivate -> re-get in get_partial() scenario. Instead, new_slab() is called.

2012-09-17slab: do ClearSlabPfmemalloc() for all pages of slabMel Gorman1-2/+2
Right now, we call ClearSlabPfmemalloc() for first page of slab when we clear SlabPfmemalloc flag. This is fine for most swap-over-network use cases as it is expected that order-0 pages are in use. Unfortunately it is possible that that __ac_put_obj() checks SlabPfmemalloc on a tail page and while this is harmless, it is sloppy. This patch ensures that the head page is always used.

2012-09-17nbd: clear waiting_queue on shutdownPaul Clements1-0/+9
Fix a serious but uncommon bug in nbd which occurs when there is heavy I/O going to the nbd device while, at the same time, a failure (server, network) or manual disconnect of the nbd connection occurs. There is a small window between the time that the nbd_thread is stopped and the socket is shutdown where requests can continue to be queued to nbd's internal waiting_queue. When this happens, those requests are never completed or freed. The fix is to clear the waiting_queue on shutdown of the nbd device, in the same way that the nbd request queue (queue_head) is already being cleared.
