PM / Hibernate: Fix s2disk regression related to freezing workqueues

2012-01-29T19:35:52+00:00

Commit 2aede851ddf08666f68ffc17be446420e9d2a056

  PM / Hibernate: Freeze kernel threads after preallocating memory

introduced a mechanism by which kernel threads were frozen after
the preallocation of hibernate image memory to avoid problems with
frozen kernel threads not responding to memory freeing requests.
However, it overlooked the s2disk code path in which the
SNAPSHOT_CREATE_IMAGE ioctl was run directly after SNAPSHOT_FREE,
which caused freeze_workqueues_begin() to BUG(), because it saw
that worqueues had been already frozen.

Although in principle this issue might be addressed by removing
the relevant BUG_ON() from freeze_workqueues_begin(), that would
reintroduce the very problem that commit 2aede851ddf08666f68ffc17be4
attempted to avoid into that particular code path.  For this reason,
to fix the issue at hand, introduce thaw_kernel_threads() and make
the SNAPSHOT_FREE ioctl execute it.

Special thanks to Srivatsa S. Bhat for detailed analysis of the
problem.

kprobes: initialize before using a hlist

2012-01-23T16:38:48+00:00

Commit ef53d9c5e ("kprobes: improve kretprobe scalability with hashed
locking") introduced a bug where we can potentially leak
kretprobe_instances since we initialize a hlist head after having used
it.

Initialize the hlist head before using it.

net: introduce res_counter_charge_nofail() for socket allocations

2012-01-22T20:08:46+00:00

There is a case in __sk_mem_schedule(), where an allocation
is beyond the maximum, but yet we are allowed to proceed.
It happens under the following condition:

	sk->sk_wmem_queued + size >= sk->sk_sndbuf

The network code won't revert the allocation in this case,
meaning that at some point later it'll try to do it. Since
this is never communicated to the underlying res_counter
code, there is an inbalance in res_counter uncharge operation.

I see two ways of fixing this:

1) storing the information about those allocations somewhere
   in memcg, and then deducting from that first, before
   we start draining the res_counter,
2) providing a slightly different allocation function for
   the res_counter, that matches the original behavior of
   the network code more closely.

I decided to go for #2 here, believing it to be more elegant,
since #1 would require us to do basically that, but in a more
obscure way.
