commit cf144f81a99d1a3928f90b0936accfd3f45c9a0a upstream.

Testing padata with the tcrypt module on a 5.2 kernel...

    # modprobe tcrypt alg="pcrypt(rfc4106(gcm(aes)))" type=3
    # modprobe tcrypt mode=211 sec=1

...produces this splat:

    INFO: task modprobe:10075 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
          Not tainted 5.2.0-base+ #16
    modprobe        D    0 10075  10064 0x80004080

     ? 0xffffffffa00f4000
     tcrypt_mod_init+0x50/0x1000 [tcrypt]
     ...

The second modprobe command never finishes because in padata_reorder,
CPU0's load of reorder_objects is executed before the unlocking store in
spin_unlock_bh(pd-&gt;lock), causing CPU0 to miss CPU1's increment:

CPU0                                 CPU1

padata_reorder                       padata_do_serial
  LOAD reorder_objects  // 0
                                       INC reorder_objects  // 1
                                       padata_reorder
                                         TRYLOCK pd-&gt;lock   // failed
  UNLOCK pd-&gt;lock

CPU0 deletes the timer before returning from padata_reorder and since no
other job is submitted to padata, modprobe waits indefinitely.

Add a pair of full barriers to guarantee proper ordering:

CPU0                                 CPU1

padata_reorder                       padata_do_serial
  UNLOCK pd-&gt;lock
  smp_mb()
  LOAD reorder_objects
                                       INC reorder_objects
                                       smp_mb__after_atomic()
                                       padata_reorder
                                         TRYLOCK pd-&gt;lock

smp_mb__after_atomic is needed so the read part of the trylock operation
comes after the INC, as Andrea points out.   Thanks also to Andrea for
help with writing a litmus test.

commit 07a77929ba672d93642a56dc2255dd21e6e2290b upstream.

The author meant to free the variable that was just allocated, instead
of the one that failed to be allocated, but made a simple typo. This
patch rectifies that.

commit de5540d088fe97ad583cc7d396586437b32149a5 upstream.

Under extremely heavy uses of padata, crashes occur, and with list
debugging turned on, this happens instead:

[87487.298728] WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 882 at lib/list_debug.c:33

[87487.361084]  [&lt;ffffffff99ef0055&gt;] padata_do_serial+0xa5/0x120

padata_reorder calls list_add_tail with the list to which its adding
locked, which seems correct:

spin_lock(&amp;squeue-&gt;serial.lock);
list_add_tail(&amp;padata-&gt;list, &amp;squeue-&gt;serial.list);
spin_unlock(&amp;squeue-&gt;serial.lock);

This therefore leaves only place where such inconsistency could occur:
if padata-&gt;list is added at the same time on two different threads.
This pdata pointer comes from the function call to
padata_get_next(pd), which has in it the following block:

next_queue = per_cpu_ptr(pd-&gt;pqueue, cpu);
padata = NULL;
reorder = &amp;next_queue-&gt;reorder;
if (!list_empty(&amp;reorder-&gt;list)) {
       padata = list_entry(reorder-&gt;list.next,
                           struct padata_priv, list);
       spin_lock(&amp;reorder-&gt;lock);
       list_del_init(&amp;padata-&gt;list);
       atomic_dec(&amp;pd-&gt;reorder_objects);
       spin_unlock(&amp;reorder-&gt;lock);

       pd-&gt;processed++;

       goto out;
}
out:
return padata;

I strongly suspect that the problem here is that two threads can race
on reorder list. Even though the deletion is locked, call to
list_entry is not locked, which means it's feasible that two threads
pick up the same padata object and subsequently call list_add_tail on
them at the same time. The fix is thus be hoist that lock outside of
that block.

printk and friends can now format bitmaps using '%*pb[l]'.  cpumask
and nodemask also provide cpumask_pr_args() and nodemask_pr_args()
respectively which can be used to generate the two printf arguments
necessary to format the specified cpu/nodemask.

<title>padata: Fix wrong usage of rcu_dereference()</title>

<content type='text'>
A kernel with enabled lockdep complains about the wrong usage of
rcu_dereference() under a rcu_read_lock_bh() protected region.

  ===============================
  [ INFO: suspicious RCU usage. ]
  3.13.0-rc1+ #126 Not tainted
  -------------------------------
  linux/kernel/padata.c:115 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage!

  other info that might help us debug this:

  rcu_scheduler_active = 1, debug_locks = 1
  1 lock held by cryptomgr_test/153:
   #0:  (rcu_read_lock_bh){.+....}, at: [&lt;ffffffff8115c235&gt;] padata_do_parallel+0x5/0x270

Fix that by using rcu_dereference_bh() instead.

<title>padata: make the sequence counter an atomic_t</title>

<content type='text'>
Using a spinlock to atomically increase a counter sounds wrong -- we've
atomic_t for this!

Also move 'seq_nr' to a different cache line than 'lock' to reduce cache
line trashing. This has the nice side effect of decreasing the size of
struct parallel_data from 192 to 128 bytes for a x86-64 build, e.g.
occupying only two instead of three cache lines.

Those changes results in a 5% performance increase on an IPsec test run
using pcrypt.

Btw. the seq_lock spinlock was never explicitly initialized -- one more
reason to get rid of it.

padata_cpu_callback() takes pinst-&gt;lock, to avoid taking
an uninitialized lock, register the notifier after it's
initialization.

Share code between CPU_ONLINE and CPU_DOWN_FAILED, same to
CPU_DOWN_PREPARE and CPU_UP_CANCELED.

It will fix 2 bugs:

  "not check the return value of __padata_remove_cpu() and __padata_add_cpu()".
  "need add 'break' between CPU_UP_CANCELED and CPU_DOWN_FAILED".

We don't remove the cpu that went offline from our cpumasks
on cpu hotplug. This got lost somewhere along the line, so
restore it. This fixes a hang of the padata instance on cpu
hotplug.
