mm: close PageTail race

2014-04-03T19:01:05Z

commit 668f9abbd4334e6c29fa8acd71635c4f9101caa7 upstream. Commit bf6bddf1924e ("mm: introduce compaction and migration for ballooned pages") introduces page_count(page) into memory compaction which dereferences page->first_page if PageTail(page). This results in a very rare NULL pointer dereference on the aforementioned page_count(page). Indeed, anything that does compound_head(), including page_count() is susceptible to racing with prep_compound_page() and seeing a NULL or dangling page->first_page pointer. This patch uses Andrea's implementation of compound_trans_head() that deals with such a race and makes it the default compound_head() implementation. This includes a read memory barrier that ensures that if PageTail(head) is true that we return a head page that is neither NULL nor dangling. The patch then adds a store memory barrier to prep_compound_page() to ensure page->first_page is set. This is the safest way to ensure we see the head page that we are expecting, PageTail(page) is already in the unlikely() path and the memory barriers are unfortunately required. Hugetlbfs is the exception, we don't enforce a store memory barrier during init since no race is possible.

ext4: atomically set inode->i_flags in ext4_set_inode_flags()

2014-04-03T19:01:04Z

commit 00a1a053ebe5febcfc2ec498bd894f035ad2aa06 upstream. Use cmpxchg() to atomically set i_flags instead of clearing out the S_IMMUTABLE, S_APPEND, etc. flags and then setting them from the EXT4_IMMUTABLE_FL, EXT4_APPEND_FL flags, since this opens up a race where an immutable file has the immutable flag cleared for a brief window of time.

libceph: block I/O when PAUSE or FULL osd map flags are set

2014-03-31T16:58:12Z

commit d29adb34a94715174c88ca93e8aba955850c9bde upstream. The PAUSEWR and PAUSERD flags are meant to stop the cluster from processing writes and reads, respectively. The FULL flag is set when the cluster determines that it is out of space, and will no longer process writes. PAUSEWR and PAUSERD are purely client-side settings already implemented in userspace clients. The osd does nothing special with these flags. When the FULL flag is set, however, the osd responds to all writes with -ENOSPC. For cephfs, this makes sense, but for rbd the block layer translates this into EIO. If a cluster goes from full to non-full quickly, a filesystem on top of rbd will not behave well, since some writes succeed while others get EIO. Fix this by blocking any writes when the FULL flag is set in the osd client. This is the same strategy used by userspace, so apply it by default. A follow-on patch makes this configurable. __map_request() is called to re-target osd requests in case the available osds changed. Add a paused field to a ceph_osd_request, and set it whenever an appropriate osd map flag is set. Avoid queueing paused requests in __map_request(), but force them to be resent if they become unpaused. Also subscribe to the next osd map from the monitor if any of these flags are set, so paused requests can be unblocked as soon as possible.

tracing: Fix array size mismatch in format string

2014-03-31T16:58:12Z

commit 87291347c49dc40aa339f587b209618201c2e527 upstream. In event format strings, the array size is reported in two locations. One in array subscript and then via the "size:" attribute. The values reported there have a mismatch. For e.g., in sched:sched_switch the prev_comm and next_comm character arrays have subscript values as [32] where as the actual field size is 16. name: sched_switch ID: 301 format: field:unsigned short common_type; offset:0; size:2; signed:0; field:unsigned char common_flags; offset:2; size:1; signed:0; field:unsigned char common_preempt_count; offset:3; size:1;signed:0; field:int common_pid; offset:4; size:4; signed:1; field:char prev_comm[32]; offset:8; size:16; signed:1; field:pid_t prev_pid; offset:24; size:4; signed:1; field:int prev_prio; offset:28; size:4; signed:1; field:long prev_state; offset:32; size:8; signed:1; field:char next_comm[32]; offset:40; size:16; signed:1; field:pid_t next_pid; offset:56; size:4; signed:1; field:int next_prio; offset:60; size:4; signed:1; After bisection, the following commit was blamed: 92edca0 tracing: Use direct field, type and system names This commit removes the duplication of strings for field->name and field->type assuming that all the strings passed in __trace_define_field() are immutable.

Use __stringify() to create a string constant for the type string.

iscsi/iser-target: Fix isert_conn->state hung shutdown issues

2014-03-24T04:38:21Z

commit defd884845297fd5690594bfe89656b01f16d87e upstream. This patch addresses a couple of different hug shutdown issues related to wait_event() + isert_conn->state. First, it changes isert_conn->conn_wait + isert_conn->conn_wait_comp_err from waitqueues to completions, and sets ISER_CONN_TERMINATING from within isert_disconnect_work(). Second, it splits isert_free_conn() into isert_wait_conn() that is called earlier in iscsit_close_connection() to ensure that all outstanding commands have completed before continuing. Finally, it breaks isert_cq_comp_err() into seperate TX / RX related code, and adds logic in isert_cq_rx_comp_err() to wait for outstanding commands to complete before setting ISER_CONN_DOWN and calling complete(&isert_conn->conn_wait_comp_err).

jiffies: Avoid undefined behavior from signed overflow

2014-03-24T04:38:20Z

commit 5a581b367b5df0531265311fc681c2abd377e5e6 upstream. According to the C standard 3.4.3p3, overflow of a signed integer results in undefined behavior. This commit therefore changes the definitions of time_after(), time_after_eq(), time_after64(), and time_after_eq64() to avoid this undefined behavior. The trick is that the subtraction is done using unsigned arithmetic, which according to 6.2.5p9 cannot overflow because it is defined as modulo arithmetic. This has the added (though admittedly quite small) benefit of shortening four lines of code by four characters each. Note that the C standard considers the cast from unsigned to signed to be implementation-defined, see 6.3.1.3p3. However, on a two's-complement system, an implementation that defines anything other than a reinterpretation of the bits is free to come to me, and I will be happy to act as a witness for its being committed to an insane asylum. (Although I have nothing against saturating arithmetic or signals in some cases, these things really should not be the default when compiling an operating-system kernel.) Signed-off-by: Paul E.

firewire: don't use PREPARE_DELAYED_WORK

2014-03-24T04:38:16Z

commit 70044d71d31d6973665ced5be04ef39ac1c09a48 upstream. PREPARE_[DELAYED_]WORK() are being phased out. They have few users and a nasty surprise in terms of reentrancy guarantee as workqueue considers work items to be different if they don't have the same work function. firewire core-device and sbp2 have been been multiplexing work items with multiple work functions. Introduce fw_device_workfn() and sbp2_lu_workfn() which invoke fw_device->workfn and sbp2_logical_unit->workfn respectively and always use the two functions as the work functions and update the users to set the ->workfn fields instead of overriding work functions using PREPARE_DELAYED_WORK(). This fixes a variety of possible regressions since a2c1c57be8d9 "workqueue: consider work function when searching for busy work items" due to which fw_workqueue lost its required non-reentrancy property.

tracing: Do not add event files for modules that fail tracepoints

2014-03-24T04:38:16Z

commit 45ab2813d40d88fc575e753c38478de242d03f88 upstream. If a module fails to add its tracepoints due to module tainting, do not create the module event infrastructure in the debugfs directory. As the events will not work and worse yet, they will silently fail, making the user wonder why the events they enable do not display anything. Having a warning on module load and the events not visible to the users will make the cause of the problem much clearer.

ipc,mqueue: remove limits for the amount of system-wide queues

2014-03-07T05:30:12Z

commit f3713fd9cff733d9df83116422d8e4af6e86b2bb upstream. Commit 93e6f119c0ce ("ipc/mqueue: cleanup definition names and locations") added global hardcoded limits to the amount of message queues that can be created. While these limits are per-namespace, reality is that it ends up breaking userspace applications. Historically users have, at least in theory, been able to create up to INT_MAX queues, and limiting it to just 1024 is way too low and dramatic for some workloads and use cases. For instance, Madars reports: "This update imposes bad limits on our multi-process application. As our app uses approaches that each process opens its own set of queues (usually something about 3-5 queues per process). In some scenarios we might run up to 3000 processes or more (which of-course for linux is not a problem). Thus we might need up to 9000 queues or more. All processes run under one user." Other affected users can be found in launchpad bug #1155695: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/manpages/+bug/1155695 Instead of increasing this limit, revert it entirely and fallback to the original way of dealing queue limits -- where once a user's resource limit is reached, and all memory is used, new queues cannot be created.
