hung_task: allow hung_task_panic when hung_task_warnings is 0

2016-10-11T22:06:33Z

Previously hung_task_panic would not be respected if enabled after hung_task_warnings had already been decremented to 0. Permit the kernel to panic if hung_task_panic is enabled after hung_task_warnings has already been decremented to 0 and another task hangs for hung_task_timeout_secs seconds. Check if hung_task_panic is enabled so we don't return prematurely, and check if hung_task_warnings is non-zero so we don't print the warning unnecessarily.

locking/hung_task: Show all locks

2016-08-24T10:16:13Z

When we get a hung task it can often be valuable to see _all_ the held locks on the system (in case we are being blocked on trying to acquire one), e.g. with this patch we can immediately see where the problem is below: INFO: task trinity-c3:14933 blocked for more than 120 seconds. Not tainted 4.8.0-rc1+ #135 "echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message. trinity-c3 D ffff88010c16fc88 0 14933 1 0x00080004 ffff88010c16fc88 000000003b9aca00 0000000000000000 0000000000000296 00000000776cdf88 ffff88011a520ae0 ffff88011a520b08 ffff88011a520198 ffffffff867d7f00 ffff88011942c080 ffff880116841580 ffff88010c168000 Call Trace: [] schedule+0x77/0x230 [] __lock_sock+0x129/0x250 [] ? __sk_destruct+0x450/0x450 [] ? wake_bit_function+0x2e0/0x2e0 [] lock_sock_nested+0xeb/0x120 [] irda_setsockopt+0x65/0xb40 [] SyS_setsockopt+0x139/0x230 [] ?

kernel/hung_task.c: use timeout diff when timeout is updated

2016-03-22T22:36:02Z

When new timeout is written to /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs, khungtaskd is interrupted and again sleeps for full timeout duration. This means that hang task will not be checked if new timeout is written periodically within old timeout duration and/or checking of hang task will be delayed for up to previous timeout duration. Fix this by remembering last time khungtaskd checked hang task. This change will allow other watchdog tasks (if any) to share khungtaskd by sleeping for minimal timeout diff of all watchdog tasks. Doing more watchdog tasks from khungtaskd will reduce the possibility of printk() collisions by multiple watchdog threads.

kernel/hung_task.c: change hung_task.c to use for_each_process_thread()

2015-04-15T23:35:22Z

In check_hung_uninterruptible_tasks() avoid the use of deprecated while_each_thread(). The "max_count" logic will prevent a livelock - see commit 0c740d0a ("introduce for_each_thread() to replace the buggy while_each_thread()"). Having said this let's use for_each_process_thread().

kernel: audit/fix non-modular users of module_init in core code

2014-04-03T23:21:07Z

Code that is obj-y (always built-in) or dependent on a bool Kconfig (built-in or absent) can never be modular. So using module_init as an alias for __initcall can be somewhat misleading. Fix these up now, so that we can relocate module_init from init.h into module.h in the future. If we don't do this, we'd have to add module.h to obviously non-modular code, and that would be a worse thing. The audit targets the following module_init users for change: kernel/user.c obj-y kernel/kexec.c bool KEXEC (one instance per arch) kernel/profile.c bool PROFILING kernel/hung_task.c bool DETECT_HUNG_TASK kernel/sched/stats.c bool SCHEDSTATS kernel/user_namespace.c bool USER_NS Note that direct use of __initcall is discouraged, vs. one of the priority categorized subgroups. As __initcall gets mapped onto device_initcall, our use of subsys_initcall (which makes sense for these files) will thus change this registration from level 6-device to level 4-subsys (i.e. slightly earlier). However no observable impact of that difference has been observed during testing. Also, two instances of missing ";" at EOL are fixed in kexec.

hung_task: Display every hung task warning

2014-01-25T11:13:33Z

When khungtaskd detects hung tasks, it prints out backtraces from a number of those tasks. Limiting the number of backtraces being printed out can result in the user not seeing the information necessary to debug the issue. The hung_task_warnings sysctl controls this feature. This patch makes it possible for hung_task_warnings to accept a special value to print an unlimited number of backtraces when khungtaskd detects hung tasks. The special value is -1. To use this value it is necessary to change types from ulong to int.

Pull KVM changes from Paolo Bonzini: "Here are the 3.13 KVM changes. There was a lot of work on the PPC side: the HV and emulation flavors can now coexist in a single kernel is probably the most interesting change from a user point of view. On the x86 side there are nested virtualization improvements and a few bugfixes. ARM got transparent huge page support, improved overcommit, and support for big endian guests. Finally, there is a new interface to connect KVM with VFIO. This helps with devices that use NoSnoop PCI transactions, letting the driver in the guest execute WBINVD instructions.

hung_task: add method to reset detector

2013-11-06T07:49:02Z

In certain occasions it is possible for a hung task detector positive to be false: continuation from a paused VM, for example. Add a method to reset detection, similar as is done with other kernel watchdogs. Acked-by: Don Zickus Acked-by: Paolo Bonzini Signed-off-by: Marcelo Tosatti Signed-off-by: Gleb Natapov

hung_task debugging: Add tracepoint to report the hang

2013-10-31T10:16:18Z

Currently check_hung_task() prints a warning if it detects the problem, but it is not convenient to watch the system logs if user-space wants to be notified about the hang. Add the new trace_sched_process_hang() into check_hung_task(), this way a user-space monitor can easily wait for the hang and potentially resolve a problem.
