Pull workqueue fixes from Tejun Heo:
 "This contains one important fix.  The NUMA support added a while back
  broke ordering guarantees on ordered workqueues.  It was enforced by
  having single frontend interface with @max_active == 1 but the NUMA
  support puts multiple interfaces on unbound workqueues on NUMA
  machines thus breaking the ordered guarantee.  This is fixed by
  disabling NUMA support on ordered workqueues.

  The above and a couple other patches were sitting in for-3.12-fixes
  but I forgot to push that out, so they ended up waiting a bit too
  long.  My aplogies.

  Other fixes are minor"

Pull cgroup fixes from Tejun Heo:
 "Fixes for three issues.

   - cgroup destruction path could swamp system_wq possibly leading to

     because memcg destruction path adds nested dependency on system_wq.

     Resolved by isolating cgroup destruction work items on its

   - Possible locking context deadlock through seqcount reported by
     lockdep

   - Memory leak under certain conditions"

cgroup: fix cgroup_subsys_state leak for seq_files

2013-11-27T23:16:21+00:00

If a cgroup file implements either read_map() or read_seq_string(),
such file is served using seq_file by overriding file->f_op to
cgroup_seqfile_operations, which also overrides the release method to
single_release() from cgroup_file_release().

Because cgroup_file_open() didn't use to acquire any resources, this
used to be fine, but since f7d58818ba42 ("cgroup: pin
cgroup_subsys_state when opening a cgroupfs file"), cgroup_file_open()
pins the css (cgroup_subsys_state) which is put by
cgroup_file_release().  The patch forgot to update the release path
for seq_files and each open/release cycle leaks a css reference.

Fix it by updating cgroup_file_release() to also handle seq_files and
using it for seq_file release path too.

Which reports that we take mems_allowed_seq with interrupts enabled. A
little digging found that this can only be from
cpuset_change_task_nodemask().

This is an actual deadlock because an interrupt doing an allocation will
hit get_mems_allowed()->...->__read_seqcount_begin(), which will spin
forever waiting for the write side to complete.

Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:
 "This includes two fixes.

  1) is a bug fix that happens when root does the following:

     echo function_graph > current_tracer
     modprobe foo
     echo nop > current_tracer

   This causes the ftrace internal accounting to get screwed up and
   crashes ftrace, preventing the user from using the function tracer
   after that.

  2) if a TRACE_EVENT has a string field, and NULL is given for it.

   The internal trace event code does a strlen() and strcpy() on the
   source of field.  If it is NULL it causes the system to oops.

   This bug has been there since 2.6.31, but no TRACE_EVENT ever passed
   in a NULL to the string field, until now"

Commit 8c4f3c3fa9681 "ftrace: Check module functions being traced on reload"
fixed module loading and unloading with respect to function tracing, but
it missed the function graph tracer. If you perform the following

 # cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
 # echo function_graph > current_tracer
 # modprobe nfsd
 # echo nop > current_tracer

You'll get the following oops message:

The above mentioned commit didn't go far enough. Well, it covered the
function tracer by adding checks in __register_ftrace_function(). The
problem is that the function graph tracer circumvents that (for a slight
efficiency gain when function graph trace is running with a function
tracer. The gain was not worth this).

The problem came with ftrace_startup() which should always be called after
__register_ftrace_function(), if you want this bug to be completely fixed.

Anyway, this solution moves __register_ftrace_function() inside of
ftrace_startup() and removes the need to call them both.

workqueue: fix pool ID allocation leakage and remove BUILD_BUG_ON() in init_workqueues

2013-11-22T23:14:47+00:00

When one work starts execution, the high bits of work's data contain
pool ID. It can represent a maximum of WORK_OFFQ_POOL_NONE. Pool ID
is assigned WORK_OFFQ_POOL_NONE when the work being initialized
indicating that no pool is associated and get_work_pool() uses it to
check the associated pool. So if worker_pool_assign_id() assigns a
ID greater than or equal WORK_OFFQ_POOL_NONE to a pool, it triggers
leakage, and it may break the non-reentrance guarantee.

This patch fix this issue by modifying the worker_pool_assign_id()
function calling idr_alloc() by setting @end param WORK_OFFQ_POOL_NONE.

Furthermore, in the current implementation, the BUILD_BUG_ON() in
init_workqueues makes no sense. The number of worker pools needed
cannot be determined at compile time, because the number of backing
pools for UNBOUND workqueues is dynamic based on the assigned custom
attributes. So remove it.
