<id>urn:sha1:6d2663091292bf78fd942ff32a7e068669d742b0</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 3bc0bb36fa30e95ca829e9cf480e1ef7f7638333 upstream.

The test_cgcore_no_internal_process_constraint_on_threads selftest when
running with subsystem controlling noise triggers two warnings:

&gt; [  597.443115] WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 28167 at kernel/cgroup/cgroup.c:3131 cgroup_apply_control_enable+0xe0/0x3f0
&gt; [  597.443413] WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 28167 at kernel/cgroup/cgroup.c:3177 cgroup_apply_control_disable+0xa6/0x160

Both stem from a call to cgroup_type_write. The first warning was also
triggered by syzkaller.

When we're switching cgroup to threaded mode shortly after a subsystem
was disabled on it, we can see the respective subsystem css dying there.

The warning in cgroup_apply_control_enable is harmless in this case
since we're not adding new subsys anyway.
The warning in cgroup_apply_control_disable indicates an attempt to kill
css of recently disabled subsystem repeatedly.

The commit prevents these situations by making cgroup_type_write wait
for all dying csses to go away before re-applying subtree controls.
When at it, the locations of WARN_ON_ONCE calls are moved so that
warning is triggered only when we are about to misuse the dying css.

commit f6783319737f28e4436a69611853a5a098cbe974 upstream.

Sargun reported a crash:

  "I picked up c40f7d74c741a907cfaeb73a7697081881c497d0 sched/fair: Fix
   infinite loop in update_blocked_averages() by reverting a9e7f6544b9c
   and put it on top of 4.19.13. In addition to this, I uninlined
   list_add_leaf_cfs_rq for debugging.

   This revealed a new bug that we didn't get to because we kept getting
   crashes from the previous issue. When we are running with cgroups that
   are rapidly changing, with CFS bandwidth control, and in addition
   using the cpusets cgroup, we see this crash. Specifically, it seems to
   occur with cgroups that are throttled and we change the allowed
   cpuset."

The algorithm used to order cfs_rq in rq-&gt;leaf_cfs_rq_list assumes that
it will walk down to root the 1st time a cfs_rq is used and we will finish
to add either a cfs_rq without parent or a cfs_rq with a parent that is
already on the list. But this is not always true in presence of throttling.
Because a cfs_rq can be throttled even if it has never been used but other CPUs
of the cgroup have already used all the bandwdith, we are not sure to go down to
the root and add all cfs_rq in the list.

Ensure that all cfs_rq will be added in the list even if they are throttled.

commit 5d299eabea5a251fbf66e8277704b874bbba92dc upstream.

The magic in list_add_leaf_cfs_rq() requires that at the end of
enqueue_task_fair():

  rq-&gt;tmp_alone_branch == &amp;rq-&gt;lead_cfs_rq_list

If this is violated, list integrity is compromised for list entries
and the tmp_alone_branch pointer might dangle.

Also, reflow list_add_leaf_cfs_rq() while there. This looses one
indentation level and generates a form that's convenient for the next
patch.

commit feee6b2989165631b17ac6d4ccdbf6759254e85a upstream.

-- snip --

- Missing arm64 hot(un)plug support
- Missing some vmem_altmap_offset() cleanups
- Missing sub-section hotadd support
- Missing unification of mm/hmm.c and kernel/memremap.c

-- snip --

We currently try to shrink a single zone when removing memory.  We use
the zone of the first page of the memory we are removing.  If that
memmap was never initialized (e.g., memory was never onlined), we will
read garbage and can trigger kernel BUGs (due to a stale pointer):

    BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: 000000000000353d

Instead, shrink the zones when offlining memory or when onlining failed.
Introduce and use remove_pfn_range_from_zone(() for that.  We now
properly shrink the zones, even if we have DIMMs whereby

 - Some memory blocks fall into no zone (never onlined)

 - Some memory blocks fall into multiple zones (offlined+re-onlined)

 - Multiple memory blocks that fall into different zones

Drop the zone parameter (with a potential dubious value) from
__remove_pages() and __remove_section().

commit 77e080e7680e1e615587352f70c87b9e98126d03 upstream.

-- snip --

- Missing mm/hmm.c and kernel/memremap.c unification.
-- hmm code does not need fixes (no altmap)
- Missing 7cc7867fb061 ("mm/devm_memremap_pages: enable sub-section remap")

-- snip --

Patch series "mm/memory_hotplug: Shrink zones before removing memory",
v6.

This series fixes the access of uninitialized memmaps when shrinking
zones/nodes and when removing memory.  Also, it contains all fixes for
crashes that can be triggered when removing certain namespace using
memunmap_pages() - ZONE_DEVICE, reported by Aneesh.

We stop trying to shrink ZONE_DEVICE, as it's buggy, fixing it would be
more involved (we don't have SECTION_IS_ONLINE as an indicator), and
shrinking is only of limited use (set_zone_contiguous() cannot detect
the ZONE_DEVICE as contiguous).

We continue shrinking !ZONE_DEVICE zones, however, I reduced the amount
of code to a minimum.  Shrinking is especially necessary to keep
zone-&gt;contiguous set where possible, especially, on memory unplug of
DIMMs at zone boundaries.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Zones are now properly shrunk when offlining memory blocks or when
onlining failed.  This allows to properly shrink zones on memory unplug
even if the separate memory blocks of a DIMM were onlined to different
zones or re-onlined to a different zone after offlining.

Example:

  :/# cat /proc/zoneinfo
  Node 1, zone  Movable
          spanned  0
          present  0
          managed  0
  :/# echo "online_movable" &gt; /sys/devices/system/memory/memory41/state
  :/# echo "online_movable" &gt; /sys/devices/system/memory/memory43/state
  :/# cat /proc/zoneinfo
  Node 1, zone  Movable
          spanned  98304
          present  65536
          managed  65536
  :/# echo 0 &gt; /sys/devices/system/memory/memory43/online
  :/# cat /proc/zoneinfo
  Node 1, zone  Movable
          spanned  32768
          present  32768
          managed  32768
  :/# echo 0 &gt; /sys/devices/system/memory/memory41/online
  :/# cat /proc/zoneinfo
  Node 1, zone  Movable
          spanned  0
          present  0
          managed  0

This patch (of 10):

With an altmap, the memmap falling into the reserved altmap space are not
initialized and, therefore, contain a garbage NID and a garbage zone.
Make sure to read the NID/zone from a memmap that was initialized.

This fixes a kernel crash that is observed when destroying a namespace:

The "page_zone(pfn_to_page(pfn)" was introduced by 69324b8f4833 ("mm,
devm_memremap_pages: add MEMORY_DEVICE_PRIVATE support"), however, I
think we will never have driver reserved memory with
MEMORY_DEVICE_PRIVATE (no altmap AFAIKS).

commit 2c2a5af6fed20cf74401c9d64319c76c5ff81309 upstream.

-- snip --

Missing unification of mm/hmm.c and kernel/memremap.c

-- snip --

Patch series "Do not touch pages in hot-remove path", v2.

This patchset aims for two things:

 1) A better definition about offline and hot-remove stage
 2) Solving bugs where we can access non-initialized pages
    during hot-remove operations [2] [3].

This is achieved by moving all page/zone handling to the offline
stage, so we do not need to access pages when hot-removing memory.

[2] https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10547445/
[3] https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-mm/msg161316.html

This patch (of 5):

This is a preparation for the following-up patches.  The idea of passing
the nid is that it will allow us to get rid of the zone parameter
afterwards.

<title>tracing: Fix histogram code when expression has same var as value</title>

commit 8bcebc77e85f3d7536f96845a0fe94b1dddb6af0 upstream.

While working on a tool to convert SQL syntex into the histogram language of
the kernel, I discovered the following bug:

 # echo 'first u64 start_time u64 end_time pid_t pid u64 delta' &gt;&gt; synthetic_events
 # echo 'hist:keys=pid:start=common_timestamp' &gt; events/sched/sched_waking/trigger
 # echo 'hist:keys=next_pid:delta=common_timestamp-$start,start2=$start:onmatch(sched.sched_waking).trace(first,$start2,common_timestamp,next_pid,$delta)' &gt; events/sched/sched_switch/trigger

Would not display any histograms in the sched_switch histogram side.

But if I were to swap the location of

  "delta=common_timestamp-$start" with "start2=$start"

Such that the last line had:

 # echo 'hist:keys=next_pid:start2=$start,delta=common_timestamp-$start:onmatch(sched.sched_waking).trace(first,$start2,common_timestamp,next_pid,$delta)' &gt; events/sched/sched_switch/trigger

The histogram works as expected.

What I found out is that the expressions clear out the value once it is
resolved. As the variables are resolved in the order listed, when
processing:

  delta=common_timestamp-$start

The $start is cleared. When it gets to "start2=$start", it errors out with
"unresolved symbol" (which is silent as this happens at the location of the
trace), and the histogram is dropped.

When processing the histogram for variable references, instead of adding a
new reference for a variable used twice, use the same reference. That way,
not only is it more efficient, but the order will no longer matter in
processing of the variables.

From Tom Zanussi:

 "Just to clarify some more about what the problem was is that without
  your patch, we would have two separate references to the same variable,
  and during resolve_var_refs(), they'd both want to be resolved
  separately, so in this case, since the first reference to start wasn't
  part of an expression, it wouldn't get the read-once flag set, so would
  be read normally, and then the second reference would do the read-once
  read and also be read but using read-once.  So everything worked and
  you didn't see a problem:

   from: start2=$start,delta=common_timestamp-$start

  In the second case, when you switched them around, the first reference
  would be resolved by doing the read-once, and following that the second
  reference would try to resolve and see that the variable had already
  been read, so failed as unset, which caused it to short-circuit out and
  not do the trigger action to generate the synthetic event:

   to: delta=common_timestamp-$start,start2=$start

  With your patch, we only have the single resolution which happens
  correctly the one time it's resolved, so this can't happen."

commit de40f033d4e84e843d6a12266e3869015ea9097c upstream.

Have create_var_ref() manage the hist trigger's var_ref list, rather
than having similar code doing it in multiple places.  This cleans up
the code and makes sure var_refs are always accounted properly.

Also, document the var_ref-related functions to make what their
purpose clearer.

<title>tracing: Use hist trigger's var_ref array to destroy var_refs</title>

commit 656fe2ba85e81d00e4447bf77b8da2be3c47acb2 upstream.

Since every var ref for a trigger has an entry in the var_ref[] array,
use that to destroy the var_refs, instead of piecemeal via the field
expressions.

This allows us to avoid having to keep and treat differently separate
lists for the action-related references, which future patches will
remove.

<title>tracing: trigger: Replace unneeded RCU-list traversals</title>

commit aeed8aa3874dc15b9d82a6fe796fd7cfbb684448 upstream.

With CONFIG_PROVE_RCU_LIST, I had many suspicious RCU warnings
when I ran ftracetest trigger testcases.

-----
  # dmesg -c &gt; /dev/null
  # ./ftracetest test.d/trigger
  ...
  # dmesg | grep "RCU-list traversed" | cut -f 2 -d ] | cut -f 2 -d " "

-----

I investigated those warnings and found that the RCU-list
traversals in event trigger and hist didn't need to use
RCU version because those were called only under event_mutex.

I also checked other RCU-list traversals related to event
trigger list, and found that most of them were called from
event_hist_trigger_func() or hist_unregister_trigger() or
register/unregister functions except for a few cases.

Replace these unneeded RCU-list traversals with normal list
traversal macro and lockdep_assert_held() to check the
event_mutex is held.
