mm, proc: be more verbose about unstable VMA flags in /proc//smaps

2019-01-26T08:44:29Z

[ Upstream commit 7550c6079846a24f30d15ac75a941c8515dbedfb ] Patch series "THP eligibility reporting via proc". This series of three patches aims at making THP eligibility reporting much more robust and long term sustainable. The trigger for the change is a regression report [2] and the long follow up discussion. In short the specific application didn't have good API to query whether a particular mapping can be backed by THP so it has used VMA flags to workaround that. These flags represent a deep internal state of VMAs and as such they should be used by userspace with a great deal of caution. A similar has happened for [3] when users complained that VM_MIXEDMAP is no longer set on DAX mappings. Again a lack of a proper API led to an abuse. The first patch in the series tries to emphasise that that the semantic of flags might change and any application consuming those should be really careful. The remaining two patches provide a more suitable interface to address [2] and provide a consistent API to query the THP status both for each VMA and process wide as well. [1] http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20181120103515.25280-1-mhocko@kernel.org [2] http://lkml.kernel.org/r/http://lkml.kernel.org/r/alpine.DEB.2.21.1809241054050.224429@chino.kir.corp.google.com [3] http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20181002100531.GC4135@quack2.suse.cz This patch (of 3): Even though vma flags exported via /proc//smaps are explicitly documented to be not guaranteed for future compatibility the warning doesn't go far enough because it doesn't mention semantic changes to those flags. And they are important as well because these flags are a deep implementation internal to the MM code and the semantic might change at any time. Let's consider two recent examples: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20181002100531.GC4135@quack2.suse.cz : commit e1fb4a086495 "dax: remove VM_MIXEDMAP for fsdax and device dax" has : removed VM_MIXEDMAP flag from DAX VMAs. Now our testing shows that in the : mean time certain customer of ours started poking into /proc//smaps : and looks at VMA flags there and if VM_MIXEDMAP is missing among the VMA : flags, the application just fails to start complaining that DAX support is : missing in the kernel. http://lkml.kernel.org/r/alpine.DEB.2.21.1809241054050.224429@chino.kir.corp.google.com : Commit 1860033237d4 ("mm: make PR_SET_THP_DISABLE immediately active") : introduced a regression in that userspace cannot always determine the set : of vmas where thp is ineligible. : Userspace relies on the "nh" flag being emitted as part of /proc/pid/smaps : to determine if a vma is eligible to be backed by hugepages. : Previous to this commit, prctl(PR_SET_THP_DISABLE, 1) would cause thp to : be disabled and emit "nh" as a flag for the corresponding vmas as part of : /proc/pid/smaps. After the commit, thp is disabled by means of an mm : flag and "nh" is not emitted. : This causes smaps parsing libraries to assume a vma is eligible for thp : and ends up puzzling the user on why its memory is not backed by thp. In both cases userspace was relying on a semantic of a specific VMA flag. The primary reason why that happened is a lack of a proper interface. While this has been worked on and it will be fixed properly, it seems that our wording could see some refinement and be more vocal about semantic aspect of these flags as well.

ocfs2: fix panic due to unrecovered local alloc

2019-01-26T08:44:29Z

[ Upstream commit 532e1e54c8140188e192348c790317921cb2dc1c ] mount.ocfs2 ignore the inconsistent error that journal is clean but local alloc is unrecovered. After mount, local alloc not empty, then reserver cluster didn't alloc a new local alloc window, reserveration map is empty(ocfs2_reservation_map.m_bitmap_len = 0), that triggered the following panic. This issue was reported at https://oss.oracle.com/pipermail/ocfs2-devel/2015-May/010854.html and was advised to fixed during mount. But this is a very unusual inconsistent state, usually journal dirty flag should be cleared at the last stage of umount until every other things go right. We may need do further debug to check that. Any way to avoid possible futher corruption, mount should be abort and fsck should be run.

sysfs: Disable lockdep for driver bind/unbind files

2019-01-26T08:44:29Z

[ Upstream commit 4f4b374332ec0ae9c738ff8ec9bed5cd97ff9adc ] This is the much more correct fix for my earlier attempt at: https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/12/10/118 Short recap: - There's not actually a locking issue, it's just lockdep being a bit too eager to complain about a possible deadlock. - Contrary to what I claimed the real problem is recursion on kn->count. Greg pointed me at sysfs_break_active_protection(), used by the scsi subsystem to allow a sysfs file to unbind itself. That would be a real deadlock, which isn't what's happening here. Also, breaking the active protection means we'd need to manually handle all the lifetime fun. - With Rafael we discussed the task_work approach, which kinda works, but has two downsides: It's a functional change for a lockdep annotation issue, and it won't work for the bind file (which needs to get the errno from the driver load function back to userspace). - Greg also asked why this never showed up: To hit this you need to unregister a 2nd driver from the unload code of your first driver. I guess only gpus do that. The bug has always been there, but only with a recent patch series did we add more locks so that lockdep built a chain from unbinding the snd-hda driver to the acpi_video_unregister call.

ALSA: bebob: fix model-id of unit for Apogee Ensemble

2019-01-26T08:44:28Z

[ Upstream commit 644b2e97405b0b74845e1d3c2b4fe4c34858062b ] This commit fixes hard-coded model-id for an unit of Apogee Ensemble with a correct value. This unit uses DM1500 ASIC produced ArchWave AG (formerly known as BridgeCo AG). I note that this model supports three modes in the number of data channels in tx/rx streams; 8 ch pairs, 10 ch pairs, 18 ch pairs. The mode is switched by Vendor-dependent AV/C command, like: $ cd linux-firewire-utils $ ./firewire-request /dev/fw1 fcp 0x00ff000003dbeb0600000000 (8ch pairs) $ ./firewire-request /dev/fw1 fcp 0x00ff000003dbeb0601000000 (10ch pairs) $ ./firewire-request /dev/fw1 fcp 0x00ff000003dbeb0602000000 (18ch pairs) When switching between different mode, the unit disappears from IEEE 1394 bus, then appears on the bus with different combination of stream formats. In a mode of 18 ch pairs, available sampling rate is up to 96.0 kHz, else up to 192.0 kHz. $ ./hinawa-config-rom-printer /dev/fw1 { 'bus-info': { 'adj': False, 'bmc': True, 'chip_ID': 21474898341, 'cmc': True, 'cyc_clk_acc': 100, 'generation': 2, 'imc': True, 'isc': True, 'link_spd': 2, 'max_ROM': 1, 'max_rec': 512, 'name': '1394', 'node_vendor_ID': 987, 'pmc': False}, 'root-directory': [ ['HARDWARE_VERSION', 19], [ 'NODE_CAPABILITIES', { 'addressing': {'64': True, 'fix': True, 'prv': False}, 'misc': {'int': False, 'ms': False, 'spt': True}, 'state': { 'atn': False, 'ded': False, 'drq': True, 'elo': False, 'init': False, 'lst': True, 'off': False}, 'testing': {'bas': False, 'ext': False}}], ['VENDOR', 987], ['DESCRIPTOR', 'Apogee Electronics'], ['MODEL', 126702], ['DESCRIPTOR', 'Ensemble'], ['VERSION', 5297], [ 'UNIT', [ ['SPECIFIER_ID', 41005], ['VERSION', 65537], ['MODEL', 126702], ['DESCRIPTOR', 'Ensemble']]], [ 'DEPENDENT_INFO', [ ['SPECIFIER_ID', 2037], ['VERSION', 1], [(58, 'IMMEDIATE'), 16777159], [(59, 'IMMEDIATE'), 1048576], [(60, 'IMMEDIATE'), 16777159], [(61, 'IMMEDIATE'), 6291456]]]]} Signed-off-by: Takashi Sakamoto Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin

dm snapshot: Fix excessive memory usage and workqueue stalls

2019-01-26T08:44:28Z

[ Upstream commit 721b1d98fb517ae99ab3b757021cf81db41e67be ] kcopyd has no upper limit to the number of jobs one can allocate and issue. Under certain workloads this can lead to excessive memory usage and workqueue stalls. For example, when creating multiple dm-snapshot targets with a 4K chunk size and then writing to the origin through the page cache. Syncing the page cache causes a large number of BIOs to be issued to the dm-snapshot origin target, which itself issues an even larger (because of the BIO splitting taking place) number of kcopyd jobs. Running the following test, from the device mapper test suite [1], dmtest run --suite snapshot -n many_snapshots_of_same_volume_N , with 8 active snapshots, results in the kcopyd job slab cache growing to 10G.

In particular, the lack of an explicit or implicit limit to the maximum number of in-flight COW jobs. The merging path is not affected because it implicitly limits the in-flight kcopyd jobs to one. Fix these issues by using a semaphore to limit the maximum number of in-flight kcopyd jobs. We grab the semaphore before allocating a new kcopyd job in start_copy() and start_full_bio() and release it after the job finishes in copy_callback(). The initial semaphore value is configurable through a module parameter, to allow fine tuning the maximum number of in-flight COW jobs. Setting this parameter to zero initializes the semaphore to INT_MAX. A default value of 2048 maximum in-flight kcopyd jobs was chosen. This value was decided experimentally as a trade-off between memory consumption, stalling the kernel's workqueues and maintaining a high enough throughput. Re-running the aforementioned test: * Workqueue stalls are eliminated * kcopyd's job slab cache uses a maximum of 130MB * The time taken by the test to write to the snapshot-origin target is reduced from 05m20.48s to 03m26.38s [1] https://github.com/jthornber/device-mapper-test-suite Signed-off-by: Nikos Tsironis Signed-off-by: Ilias Tsitsimpis Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin

dm kcopyd: Fix bug causing workqueue stalls

2019-01-26T08:44:28Z

[ Upstream commit d7e6b8dfc7bcb3f4f3a18313581f67486a725b52 ] When using kcopyd to run callbacks through dm_kcopyd_do_callback() or submitting copy jobs with a source size of 0, the jobs are pushed directly to the complete_jobs list, which could be under processing by the kcopyd thread. As a result, the kcopyd thread can continue running completed jobs indefinitely, without releasing the CPU, as long as someone keeps submitting new completed jobs through the aforementioned paths. Processing of work items, queued for execution on the same CPU as the currently running kcopyd thread, is thus stalled for excessive amounts of time, hurting performance. Running the following test, from the device mapper test suite [1], dmtest run --suite snapshot -n parallel_io_to_many_snaps_N , with 8 active snapshots, we get, in dmesg, messages like the following: [68899.948523] BUG: workqueue lockup - pool cpus=0 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=0 stuck for 95s!

This prevents kcopyd from hogging the CPU indefinitely and causing workqueue stalls.

2019-01-26T08:44:28Z

[ Upstream commit 2f5302533f306d5ee87bd375aef9ca35b91762cb ] The strncpy() function may leave the destination string buffer unterminated, better use strlcpy() that we have a __weak fallback implementation for systems without it. In this specific case this would only happen if fgets() was buggy, as its man page states that it should read one less byte than the size of the destination buffer, so that it can put the nul byte at the end of it, so it would never copy 255 non-nul chars, as fgets reads into the orig buffer at most 254 non-nul chars and terminates it. But lets just switch to strlcpy to keep the original intent and silence the gcc 8.2 warning.
