thp: avoid atomic64_read in pmd_read_atomic for 32bit PAE

2012-07-04T04:44:09+00:00

commit e4eed03fd06578571c01d4f1478c874bb432c815 upstream.

In the x86 32bit PAE CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE=y case while holding the
mmap_sem for reading, cmpxchg8b cannot be used to read pmd contents under
Xen.

So instead of dealing only with "consistent" pmdvals in
pmd_none_or_trans_huge_or_clear_bad() (which would be conceptually
simpler) we let pmd_none_or_trans_huge_or_clear_bad() deal with pmdvals
where the low 32bit and high 32bit could be inconsistent (to avoid having
to use cmpxchg8b).

The only guarantee we get from pmd_read_atomic is that if the low part of
the pmd was found null, the high part will be null too (so the pmd will be
considered unstable).  And if the low part of the pmd is found "stable"
later, then it means the whole pmd was read atomically (because after a
pmd is stable, neither MADV_DONTNEED nor page faults can alter it anymore,
and we read the high part after the low part).

In the 32bit PAE x86 case, it is enough to read the low part of the pmdval
atomically to declare the pmd as "stable" and that's true for THP and no
THP, furthermore in the THP case we also have a barrier() that will
prevent any inconsistent pmdvals to be cached by a later re-read of the
*pmd.

mm: pmd_read_atomic: fix 32bit PAE pmd walk vs pmd_populate SMP race condition

2012-07-04T04:44:09+00:00

commit 26c191788f18129af0eb32a358cdaea0c7479626 upstream.

When holding the mmap_sem for reading, pmd_offset_map_lock should only
run on a pmd_t that has been read atomically from the pmdp pointer,
otherwise we may read only half of it leading to this crash.

This should be a longstanding bug affecting x86 32bit PAE without THP.
Only archs with 64bit large pmd_t and 32bit unsigned long should be
affected.

With THP enabled the barrier() in pmd_none_or_trans_huge_or_clear_bad()
would partly hide the bug when the pmd transition from none to stable,
by forcing a re-read of the *pmd in pmd_offset_map_lock, but when THP is
enabled a new set of problem arises by the fact could then transition
freely in any of the none, pmd_trans_huge or pmd_trans_stable states.
So making the barrier in pmd_none_or_trans_huge_or_clear_bad()
unconditional isn't good idea and it would be a flakey solution.

This should be fully fixed by introducing a pmd_read_atomic that reads
the pmd in order with THP disabled, or by reading the pmd atomically
with cmpxchg8b with THP enabled.

Luckily this new race condition only triggers in the places that must
already be covered by pmd_none_or_trans_huge_or_clear_bad() so the fix
is localized there but this bug is not related to THP.

NOTE: this can trigger on x86 32bit systems with PAE enabled with more
than 4G of ram, otherwise the high part of the pmd will never risk to be
truncated because it would be zero at all times, in turn so hiding the
SMP race.

This bug was discovered and fully debugged by Ulrich, quote:

----
[..]
pmd_none_or_trans_huge_or_clear_bad() loads the content of edx and
eax.

    496 static inline int pmd_none_or_trans_huge_or_clear_bad(pmd_t
    *pmd)
    497 {
    498         /* depend on compiler for an atomic pmd read */
    499         pmd_t pmdval = *pmd;

                                // edi = pmd pointer
0xc0507a74 :   mov    0x8(%esp),%edi
...
                                // edx = PTE page table high address
0xc0507a84 :   mov    0x4(%edi),%edx
...
                                // eax = PTE page table low address
0xc0507a8e :   mov    (%edi),%eax

[..]

Please note that the PMD is not read atomically. These are two "mov"
instructions where the high order bits of the PMD entry are fetched
first. Hence, the above machine code is prone to the following race.

-  The PMD entry {high|low} is 0x0000000000000000.
   The "mov" at 0xc0507a84 loads 0x00000000 into edx.

-  A page fault (on another CPU) sneaks in between the two "mov"
   instructions and instantiates the PMD.

-  The PMD entry {high|low} is now 0x00000003fda38067.
   The "mov" at 0xc0507a8e loads 0xfda38067 into eax.

swap: fix shmem swapping when more than 8 areas

2012-06-19T22:18:28+00:00

commit 9b15b817f3d62409290fd56fe3cbb076a931bb0a upstream.

Minchan Kim reports that when a system has many swap areas, and tmpfs
swaps out to the ninth or more, shmem_getpage_gfp()'s attempts to read
back the page cannot locate it, and the read fails with -ENOMEM.

Whoops.  Yes, I blindly followed read_swap_header()'s pte_to_swp_entry(
swp_entry_to_pte()) technique for determining maximum usable swap
offset, without stopping to realize that that actually depends upon the
pte swap encoding shifting swap offset to the higher bits and truncating
it there.  Whereas our radix_tree swap encoding leaves offset in the
lower bits: it's swap "type" (that is, index of swap area) that was
truncated.

Fix it by reducing the SWP_TYPE_SHIFT() in swapops.h, and removing the
broken radix_to_swp_entry(swp_to_radix_entry()) from read_swap_header().

This does not reduce the usable size of a swap area any further, it
leaves it as claimed when making the original commit: no change from 3.0
on x86_64, nor on i386 without PAE; but 3.0's 512GB is reduced to 128GB
per swapfile on i386 with PAE.  It's not a change I would have risked
five years ago, but with x86_64 supported for ten years, I believe it's
appropriate now.

Hmm, and what if some architecture implements its swap pte with offset
encoded below type? That would equally break the maximum usable swap
offset check.  Happily, they all follow the same tradition of encoding
offset above type, but I'll prepare a check on that for next.

USB: add NO_D3_DURING_SLEEP flag and revert 151b61284776be2

2012-06-19T22:18:25+00:00

commit c2fb8a3fa25513de8fedb38509b1f15a5bbee47b upstream.

This patch (as1558) fixes a problem affecting several ASUS computers:
The machine crashes or corrupts memory when going into suspend if the
ehci-hcd driver is bound to any controllers.  Users have been forced
to unbind or unload ehci-hcd before putting their systems to sleep.

After extensive testing, it was determined that the machines don't
like going into suspend when any EHCI controllers are in the PCI D3
power state.  Presumably this is a firmware bug, but there's nothing
we can do about it except to avoid putting the controllers in D3
during system sleep.

The patch adds a new flag to indicate whether the problem is present,
and avoids changing the controller's power state if the flag is set.
Runtime suspend is unaffected; this matters only for system suspend.
However as a side effect, the controller will not respond to remote
wakeup requests while the system is asleep.  Hence USB wakeup is not
functional -- but of course, this is already true in the current state
of affairs.

A similar patch has already been applied as commit
151b61284776be2d6f02d48c23c3625678960b97 (USB: EHCI: fix crash during
suspend on ASUS computers).  The patch supersedes that one and reverts
it.  There are two differences:

	The old patch added the flag at the USB level; this patch
	adds it at the PCI level.

	The old patch applied to all chipsets with the same vendor,
	subsystem vendor, and product IDs; this patch makes an
	exception for a known-good system (based on DMI information).

skb: avoid unnecessary reallocations in __skb_cow

2012-06-10T13:42:06+00:00

[ Upstream commit 617c8c11236716dcbda877e764b7bf37c6fd8063 ]

At the beginning of __skb_cow, headroom gets set to a minimum of
NET_SKB_PAD. This causes unnecessary reallocations if the buffer was not
cloned and the headroom is just below NET_SKB_PAD, but still more than the
amount requested by the caller.
This was showing up frequently in my tests on VLAN tx, where
vlan_insert_tag calls skb_cow_head(skb, VLAN_HLEN).

Locally generated packets should have enough headroom, and for forward
paths, we already have NET_SKB_PAD bytes of headroom, so we don't need to
add any extra space here.

This reverts commit 8a83a00b0735190384a348156837918271034144.

It causes regressions for S390 devices, because it does an
unconditional DST drop on SKBs for vlans and the QETH device
needs the neighbour entry hung off the DST for certain things
on transmit.

Arnd can't remember exactly why he even needed this change.
