revert "softirq: Add support for triggering softirq work on softirqs"

2015-05-17T16:51:33Z

commit fc21c0cff2f425891b28ff6fb6b03b325c977428 upstream. This commit was incomplete in that code to remove items from the per-cpu lists was missing and never acquired a user in the 5 years it has been in the tree. We're going to implement what it seems to try to archive in a simpler way, and this code is in the way of doing so.

nilfs2: fix sanity check of btree level in nilfs_btree_root_broken()

2015-05-17T16:51:32Z

commit d8fd150fe3935e1692bf57c66691e17409ebb9c1 upstream. The range check for b-tree level parameter in nilfs_btree_root_broken() is wrong; it accepts the case of "level == NILFS_BTREE_LEVEL_MAX" even though the level is limited to values in the range of 0 to (NILFS_BTREE_LEVEL_MAX - 1). Since the level parameter is read from storage device and used to index nilfs_btree_path array whose element count is NILFS_BTREE_LEVEL_MAX, it can cause memory overrun during btree operations if the boundary value is set to the level parameter on device. This fixes the broken sanity check and adds a comment to clarify that the upper bound NILFS_BTREE_LEVEL_MAX is exclusive.

usb: define a generic USB_RESUME_TIMEOUT macro

2015-05-06T19:56:22Z

commit 62f0342de1f012f3e90607d39e20fce811391169 upstream. Every USB Host controller should use this new macro to define for how long resume signalling should be driven on the bus. Currently, almost every single USB controller is using a 20ms timeout for resume signalling. That's problematic for two reasons: a) sometimes that 20ms timer expires a little before 20ms, which makes us fail certification b) some (many) devices actually need more than 20ms resume signalling. Sure, in case of (b) we can state that the device is against the USB spec, but the fact is that we have no control over which device the certification lab will use. We also have no control over which host they will use. Most likely they'll be using a Windows PC which, again, we have no control over how that USB stack is written and how long resume signalling they are using. At the end of the day, we must make sure Linux passes electrical compliance when working as Host or as Device and currently we don't pass compliance as host because we're driving resume signallig for exactly 20ms and that confuses certification test setup resulting in Certification failure.

vm: add VM_FAULT_SIGSEGV handling support

2015-04-29T08:34:00Z

commit 33692f27597fcab536d7cbbcc8f52905133e4aa7 upstream. The core VM already knows about VM_FAULT_SIGBUS, but cannot return a "you should SIGSEGV" error, because the SIGSEGV case was generally handled by the caller - usually the architecture fault handler. That results in lots of duplication - all the architecture fault handlers end up doing very similar "look up vma, check permissions, do retries etc" - but it generally works. However, there are cases where the VM actually wants to SIGSEGV, and applications _expect_ SIGSEGV. In particular, when accessing the stack guard page, libsigsegv expects a SIGSEGV. And it usually got one, because the stack growth is handled by that duplicated architecture fault handler. However, when the generic VM layer started propagating the error return from the stack expansion in commit fee7e49d4514 ("mm: propagate error from stack expansion even for guard page"), that now exposed the existing VM_FAULT_SIGBUS result to user space. And user space really expected SIGSEGV, not SIGBUS. To fix that case, we need to add a VM_FAULT_SIGSEGV, and teach all those duplicate architecture fault handlers about it. They all already have the code to handle SIGSEGV, so it's about just tying that new return value to the existing code, but it's all a bit annoying. This is the mindless minimal patch to do this. A more extensive patch would be to try to gather up the mostly shared fault handling logic into one generic helper routine, and long-term we really should do that cleanup. Just from this patch, you can generally see that most architectures just copied (directly or indirectly) the old x86 way of doing things, but in the meantime that original x86 model has been improved to hold the VM semaphore for shorter times etc and to handle VM_FAULT_RETRY and other "newer" things, so it would be a good idea to bring all those improvements to the generic case and teach other architectures about them too.

Defer processing of REQ_PREEMPT requests for blocked devices

2015-04-19T08:10:49Z

commit bba0bdd7ad4713d82338bcd9b72d57e9335a664b upstream. SCSI transport drivers and SCSI LLDs block a SCSI device if the transport layer is not operational. This means that in this state no requests should be processed, even if the REQ_PREEMPT flag has been set. This patch avoids that a rescan shortly after a cable pull sporadically triggers the following kernel oops: BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffc9001a6bc084 IP: [] mlx4_ib_post_send+0xd2/0xb30 [mlx4_ib] Process rescan-scsi-bus (pid: 9241, threadinfo ffff88053484a000, task ffff880534aae100) Call Trace: [] srp_post_send+0x65/0x70 [ib_srp] [] srp_queuecommand+0x1cf/0x3e0 [ib_srp] [] scsi_dispatch_cmd+0x101/0x280 [scsi_mod] [] scsi_request_fn+0x411/0x4d0 [scsi_mod] [] __blk_run_queue+0x27/0x30 [] blk_execute_rq_nowait+0x82/0x110 [] blk_execute_rq+0x62/0xf0 [] scsi_execute+0xe8/0x190 [scsi_mod] [] scsi_execute_req+0xa3/0x130 [scsi_mod] [] scsi_probe_lun+0x17a/0x450 [scsi_mod] [] scsi_probe_and_add_lun+0x156/0x480 [scsi_mod] [] __scsi_scan_target+0xdf/0x1f0 [scsi_mod] [] scsi_scan_host_selected+0x183/0x1c0 [scsi_mod] [] scsi_scan+0xdb/0xe0 [scsi_mod] [] store_scan+0x13/0x20 [scsi_mod] [] sysfs_write_file+0xcb/0x160 [] vfs_write+0xce/0x140 [] sys_write+0x53/0xa0 [] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b [<00007f611c9d9300>] 0x7f611c9d92ff Reported-by: Max Gurtuvoy Signed-off-by: Bart Van Assche Reviewed-by: Mike Christie Signed-off-by: James Bottomley Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

workqueue: fix hang involving racing cancel[_delayed]_work_sync()'s for PREEMPT_NONE

2015-03-26T14:00:58Z

commit 8603e1b30027f943cc9c1eef2b291d42c3347af1 upstream. cancel[_delayed]_work_sync() are implemented using __cancel_work_timer() which grabs the PENDING bit using try_to_grab_pending() and then flushes the work item with PENDING set to prevent the on-going execution of the work item from requeueing itself. try_to_grab_pending() can always grab PENDING bit without blocking except when someone else is doing the above flushing during cancelation. In that case, try_to_grab_pending() returns -ENOENT. In this case, __cancel_work_timer() currently invokes flush_work(). The assumption is that the completion of the work item is what the other canceling task would be waiting for too and thus waiting for the same condition and retrying should allow forward progress without excessive busy looping Unfortunately, this doesn't work if preemption is disabled or the latter task has real time priority. Let's say task A just got woken up from flush_work() by the completion of the target work item. If, before task A starts executing, task B gets scheduled and invokes __cancel_work_timer() on the same work item, its try_to_grab_pending() will return -ENOENT as the work item is still being canceled by task A and flush_work() will also immediately return false as the work item is no longer executing. This puts task B in a busy loop possibly preventing task A from executing and clearing the canceling state on the work item leading to a hang. task A task B worker executing work __cancel_work_timer() try_to_grab_pending() set work CANCELING flush_work() block for work completion completion, wakes up A __cancel_work_timer() while (forever) { try_to_grab_pending() -ENOENT as work is being canceled flush_work() false as work is no longer executing } This patch removes the possible hang by updating __cancel_work_timer() to explicitly wait for clearing of CANCELING rather than invoking flush_work() after try_to_grab_pending() fails with -ENOENT.
