libata: introduce ata_host->n_tags to avoid oops on SAS controllers

2014-07-31T19:52:54+00:00

commit 1a112d10f03e83fb3a2fdc4c9165865dec8a3ca6 upstream.

1871ee134b73 ("libata: support the ata host which implements a queue
depth less than 32") directly used ata_port->scsi_host->can_queue from
ata_qc_new() to determine the number of tags supported by the host;
unfortunately, SAS controllers doing SATA don't initialize ->scsi_host
leading to the following oops.

Fix it by introducing ata_host->n_tags which is initialized to
ATA_MAX_QUEUE - 1 in ata_host_init() for SAS controllers and set to
scsi_host_template->can_queue in ata_host_register() for !SAS ones.
As SAS hosts are never registered, this will give them the same
ATA_MAX_QUEUE - 1 as before.  Note that we can't use
scsi_host->can_queue directly for SAS hosts anyway as they can go
higher than the libata maximum.

ring-buffer: Check if buffer exists before polling

2014-07-17T23:21:06+00:00

commit 8b8b36834d0fff67fc8668093f4312dd04dcf21d upstream.

The per_cpu buffers are created one per possible CPU. But these do
not mean that those CPUs are online, nor do they even exist.

With the addition of the ring buffer polling, it assumes that the
caller polls on an existing buffer. But this is not the case if
the user reads trace_pipe from a CPU that does not exist, and this
causes the kernel to crash.

Simple fix is to check the cpu against buffer bitmask against to see
if the buffer was allocated or not and return -ENODEV if it is
not.

More updates were done to pass the -ENODEV back up to userspace.

ptrace,x86: force IRET path after a ptrace_stop()

2014-07-07T01:57:29+00:00

commit b9cd18de4db3c9ffa7e17b0dc0ca99ed5aa4d43a upstream.

The 'sysret' fastpath does not correctly restore even all regular
registers, much less any segment registers or reflags values.  That is
very much part of why it's faster than 'iret'.

Normally that isn't a problem, because the normal ptrace() interface
catches the process using the signal handler infrastructure, which
always returns with an iret.

However, some paths can get caught using ptrace_event() instead of the
signal path, and for those we need to make sure that we aren't going to
return to user space using 'sysret'.  Otherwise the modifications that
may have been done to the register set by the tracer wouldn't
necessarily take effect.

Fix it by forcing IRET path by setting TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME from
arch_ptrace_stop_needed() which is invoked from ptrace_stop().

genirq: Sanitize spurious interrupt detection of threaded irqs

2014-07-01T03:12:00+00:00

commit 1e77d0a1ed7417d2a5a52a7b8d32aea1833faa6c upstream.

Till reported that the spurious interrupt detection of threaded
interrupts is broken in two ways:

- note_interrupt() is called for each action thread of a shared
  interrupt line. That's wrong as we are only interested whether none
  of the device drivers felt responsible for the interrupt, but by
  calling multiple times for a single interrupt line we account
  IRQ_NONE even if one of the drivers felt responsible.

- note_interrupt() when called from the thread handler is not
  serialized. That leaves the members of irq_desc which are used for
  the spurious detection unprotected.

To solve this we need to defer the spurious detection of a threaded
interrupt to the next hardware interrupt context where we have
implicit serialization.

If note_interrupt is called with action_ret == IRQ_WAKE_THREAD, we
check whether the previous interrupt requested a deferred check. If
not, we request a deferred check for the next hardware interrupt and
return.

If set, we check whether one of the interrupt threads signaled
success. Depending on this information we feed the result into the
spurious detector.

If one primary handler of a shared interrupt returns IRQ_HANDLED we
disable the deferred check of irq threads on the same line, as we have
found at least one device driver who cared.

ACPI: add dynamic_debug support

2014-07-01T03:11:58+00:00

commit 45fef5b88d1f2f47ecdefae6354372d440ca5c84 upstream.

Commit 1a699476e258 ("ACPI / hotplug / PCI: Hotplug notifications
from acpi_bus_notify()") added debug messages for a few common
events. These debug messages are unconditionally enabled if
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG is defined, contrary to the documented
meaning, making the ACPI system spew lots of unwanted noise on
any kernel with dynamic debugging.

The bug was introduced by commit fbfddae69657 ("ACPI: Add
acpi_handle_() interfaces"), which added the
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG dependency without respecting its meaning.

Fix by adding real support for dynamic_debug.

ext4: fix data integrity sync in ordered mode

2014-07-01T03:11:55+00:00

commit 1c8349a17137b93f0a83f276c764a6df1b9a116e upstream.

When we perform a data integrity sync we tag all the dirty pages with
PAGECACHE_TAG_TOWRITE at start of ext4_da_writepages.  Later we check
for this tag in write_cache_pages_da and creates a struct
mpage_da_data containing contiguously indexed pages tagged with this
tag and sync these pages with a call to mpage_da_map_and_submit.  This
process is done in while loop until all the PAGECACHE_TAG_TOWRITE
pages are synced. We also do journal start and stop in each iteration.
journal_stop could initiate journal commit which would call
ext4_writepage which in turn will call ext4_bio_write_page even for
delayed OR unwritten buffers. When ext4_bio_write_page is called for
such buffers, even though it does not sync them but it clears the
PAGECACHE_TAG_TOWRITE of the corresponding page and hence these pages
are also not synced by the currently running data integrity sync. We
will end up with dirty pages although sync is completed.

This could cause a potential data loss when the sync call is followed
by a truncate_pagecache call, which is exactly the case in
collapse_range.  (It will cause generic/127 failure in xfstests)

To avoid this issue, we can use set_page_writeback_keepwrite instead of
set_page_writeback, which doesn't clear TOWRITE tag.

ptrace: fix fork event messages across pid namespaces

2014-07-01T03:11:54+00:00

commit 4e52365f279564cef0ddd41db5237f0471381093 upstream.

When tracing a process in another pid namespace, it's important for fork
event messages to contain the child's pid as seen from the tracer's pid
namespace, not the parent's.  Otherwise, the tracer won't be able to
correlate the fork event with later SIGTRAP signals it receives from the
child.

We still risk a race condition if a ptracer from a different pid
namespace attaches after we compute the pid_t value.  However, sending a
bogus fork event message in this unlikely scenario is still a vast
improvement over the status quo where we always send bogus fork event
messages to debuggers in a different pid namespace than the forking
process.

mm: page_alloc: use word-based accesses for get/set pageblock bitmaps

2014-07-01T03:11:53+00:00

commit e58469bafd0524e848c3733bc3918d854595e20f upstream.

The test_bit operations in get/set pageblock flags are expensive.  This
patch reads the bitmap on a word basis and use shifts and masks to isolate
the bits of interest.  Similarly masks are used to set a local copy of the
bitmap and then use cmpxchg to update the bitmap if there have been no
other changes made in parallel.

In a test running dd onto tmpfs the overhead of the pageblock-related
functions went from 1.27% in profiles to 0.5%.

In addition to the performance benefits, this patch closes races that are
possible between:

a) get_ and set_pageblock_migratetype(), where get_pageblock_migratetype()
   reads part of the bits before and other part of the bits after
   set_pageblock_migratetype() has updated them.

b) set_pageblock_migratetype() and set_pageblock_skip(), where the non-atomic
   read-modify-update set bit operation in set_pageblock_skip() will cause
   lost updates to some bits changed in the set_pageblock_migratetype().

Joonsoo Kim first reported the case a) via code inspection.  Vlastimil
Babka's testing with a debug patch showed that either a) or b) occurs
roughly once per mmtests' stress-highalloc benchmark (although not
necessarily in the same pageblock).  Furthermore during development of
unrelated compaction patches, it was observed that frequent calls to
{start,undo}_isolate_page_range() the race occurs several thousands of
times and has resulted in NULL pointer dereferences in move_freepages()
and free_one_page() in places where free_list[migratetype] is
manipulated by e.g.  list_move().  Further debugging confirmed that
migratetype had invalid value of 6, causing out of bounds access to the
free_list array.

That confirmed that the race exist, although it may be extremely rare,
and currently only fatal where page isolation is performed due to
memory hot remove.  Races on pageblocks being updated by
set_pageblock_migratetype(), where both old and new migratetype are
lower MIGRATE_RESERVE, currently cannot result in an invalid value
being observed, although theoretically they may still lead to
unexpected creation or destruction of MIGRATE_RESERVE pageblocks.
Furthermore, things could get suddenly worse when memory isolation is
used more, or when new migratetypes are added.

After this patch, the race has no longer been observed in testing.

hugetlb: restrict hugepage_migration_support() to x86_64

2014-07-01T03:11:53+00:00

commit c177c81e09e517bbf75b67762cdab1b83aba6976 upstream.

Currently hugepage migration is available for all archs which support
pmd-level hugepage, but testing is done only for x86_64 and there're
bugs for other archs.  So to avoid breaking such archs, this patch
limits the availability strictly to x86_64 until developers of other
archs get interested in enabling this feature.

Simply disabling hugepage migration on non-x86_64 archs is not enough to
fix the reported problem where sys_move_pages() hits the BUG_ON() in
follow_page(FOLL_GET), so let's fix this by checking if hugepage
migration is supported in vma_migratable().

team: fix mtu setting

[ Upstream commit 9d0d68faea6962d62dd501cd6e71ce5cc8ed262b ]

Now it is not possible to set mtu to team device which has a port
enslaved to it. The reason is that when team_change_mtu() calls
dev_set_mtu() for port device, notificator for NETDEV_PRECHANGEMTU
event is called and team_device_event() returns NOTIFY_BAD forbidding
the change. So fix this by returning NOTIFY_DONE here in case team is
changing mtu in team_change_mtu().
