ALSA: hrtimer: Fix stall by hrtimer_cancel()

2016-01-31T19:28:57+00:00

commit 2ba1fe7a06d3624f9a7586d672b55f08f7c670f3 upstream.

hrtimer_cancel() waits for the completion from the callback, thus it
must not be called inside the callback itself.  This was already a
problem in the past with ALSA hrtimer driver, and the early commit
[fcfdebe70759: ALSA: hrtimer - Fix lock-up] tried to address it.

However, the previous fix is still insufficient: it may still cause a
lockup when the ALSA timer instance reprograms itself in its callback.
Then it invokes the start function even in snd_timer_interrupt() that
is called in hrtimer callback itself, results in a CPU stall.  This is
no hypothetical problem but actually triggered by syzkaller fuzzer.

This patch tries to fix the issue again.  Now we call
hrtimer_try_to_cancel() at both start and stop functions so that it
won't fall into a deadlock, yet giving some chance to cancel the queue
if the functions have been called outside the callback.  The proper
hrtimer_cancel() is called in anyway at closing, so this should be
enough.

sound: Use hrtimer_resolution instead of hrtimer_get_res()

2015-04-22T15:06:48+00:00

No point in converting a timespec now that the value is directly
accessible. Get rid of the null check while at it. Resolution is
guaranteed to be > 0.

ALSA: hrtimer: remove superfluous tasklet invocation

2011-02-10T17:53:32+00:00

Commit bb758e9637e5ddc removed snd_hrtimer_callback() from the hardware
interrupt handler, thus moving it into a tasklet, but did not tell the
ALSA timer framework about this, so the timer handling would now be done
in the ALSA timer tasklet scheduled from another tasklet.

To fix this, add the flag to tell the ALSA timer framework that the
timer handler is already being invoked in a tasklet.

ALSA: hrtimer: handle delayed timer interrupts

2011-02-10T17:53:29+00:00

If a timer interrupt was delayed too much, hrtimer_forward_now() will
forward the timer expiry more than once.  When this happens, the
additional number of elapsed ALSA timer ticks must be passed to
snd_timer_interrupt() to prevent the ALSA timer from falling behind.

This mostly fixes MIDI slowdown problems on highly-loaded systems with
badly behaved interrupt handlers.

include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

2010-03-30T13:02:32+00:00

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

ALSA: hrtimer - Fix lock-up

2009-12-11T11:53:27+00:00

The timer stop callback can be called from snd_timer_interrupt(), which
is called from the hrtimer callback.  Since hrtimer_cancel() waits for
the callback completion, this eventually results in a lock-up.

This patch fixes the problem by just toggling a flag at stop callback
and call hrtimer_cancel() later.
