Freezer synchronization is needlessly complicated - it's by no means a hot path and the priority is staying unintrusive and safe. This patch makes it simply use a dedicated lock instead of piggy-backing on task_lock() and playing with memory barriers. On the failure path of try_to_freeze_tasks(), locking is moved from it to cancel_freezing(). This makes the frozen() test racy but the race here is a non-issue as the warning is printed for tasks which failed to enter frozen for 20 seconds and race on PF_FROZEN at the last moment doesn't change anything. This simplifies freezer implementation and eases further changes including some race fixes. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

There's no point in thawing nosig tasks before others. There's no ordering requirement between the two groups on thaw, which the staged thawing can't guarantee anyway. Simplify thaw_processes() by removing the distinction and collapsing thaw_tasks() into thaw_processes(). This will help further updates to freezer. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

clear_freeze_flag() in exit_mm() is racy. Freezing can start afterwards. Remove it. Skipping freezer for exiting task will be properly implemented later. Also, freezable() was testing exit_state directly to make system freezer ignore dead tasks. Let the exiting task set PF_NOFREEZE after entering TASK_DEAD instead.

thaw_process() now has only internal users - system and cgroup freezers. Remove the unnecessary return value, rename, unexport and collapse __thaw_process() into it. This will help further updates to the freezer code. -v3: oom_kill grew a use of thaw_process() while this patch was pending. Convert it to use __thaw_task() for now. In the longer term, this should be handled by allowing tasks to die if killed even if it's frozen. -v2: minor style update as suggested by Matt.

Writeback and thinkpad_acpi have been using thaw_process() to prevent deadlock between the freezer and kthread_stop(); unfortunately, this is inherently racy - nothing prevents freezing from happening between thaw_process() and kthread_stop(). This patch implements kthread_freezable_should_stop() which enters refrigerator if necessary but is guaranteed to return if kthread_stop() is invoked. Both thaw_process() users are converted to use the new function. Note that this deadlock condition exists for many of freezable kthreads. They need to be converted to use the new should_stop or freezable workqueue. Tested with synthetic test case.

There is no reason to export two functions for entering the refrigerator. Calling refrigerator() instead of try_to_freeze() doesn't save anything noticeable or removes any race condition. * Rename refrigerator() to __refrigerator() and make it return bool indicating whether it scheduled out for freezing. * Update try_to_freeze() to return bool and relay the return value of __refrigerator() if freezing(). * Convert all refrigerator() users to try_to_freeze(). * Update documentation accordingly. * While at it, add might_sleep() to try_to_freeze().

Some drivers set PF_NOFREEZE in their kthread functions which is completely unnecessary and racy - some part of freezer code doesn't consider cases where PF_NOFREEZE is set asynchronous to freezer operations. In general, there's no reason to allow setting PF_NOFREEZE explicitly. Remove them and change the documentation to note that setting PF_NOFREEZE directly isn't allowed. -v2: Dropped change to twl4030-irq.c as it no longer uses PF_NOFREEZE.

refrigerator() saves current->state before entering frozen state and restores it before returning using __set_current_state(); however, this is racy, for example, please consider the following sequence. set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE); try_to_freeze(); if (kthread_should_stop()) break; schedule(); If kthread_stop() races with ->state restoration, the restoration can restore ->state to TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE after kthread_stop() sets it to TASK_RUNNING but kthread_should_stop() may still see zero ->should_stop because there's no memory barrier between restoring TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE and kthread_should_stop() test. This isn't restricted to kthread_should_stop(). current->state is often used in memory barrier based synchronization and silently restoring it w/o mb breaks them. Use set_current_state() instead.

Prevent tracing of preempt_disable() in get_cpu_var() in kvm_clock_read(). When CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT is enabled, preempt_disable/enable() are traced and this causes the function_graph tracer to go into an infinite recursion. By open coding the preempt_disable() around the get_cpu_var(), we can use the notrace version which prevents preempt_disable/enable() from being traced and prevents the recursion. Based on a similar patch for Xen from Jeremy Fitzhardinge. Tested-by: Gleb Natapov <gleb@redhat.com> Acked-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>

Dummy, non-zero definitions for HPAGE_MASK and HPAGE_SIZE were added in 51c6f666 ("mm: ZAP_BLOCK causes redundant work") to avoid a divide by zero in generic kernel code. That code has since been removed, but probably should never have been added in the first place: we don't want HPAGE_SIZE to act like PAGE_SIZE for code that is working with hugepages, for example, when the dependency on CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE has not been fulfilled. Because hugepage size can differ from architecture to architecture, each is required to have their own definitions for both HPAGE_MASK and HPAGE_SIZE. This is always done in arch/*/include/asm/page.h. So, just remove the dummy and dangerous definitions since they are no longer needed and reveals the correct dependencies. Tested on architectures using the definitions with allyesconfig: x86 (even with thp), hppa, mips, powerpc, s390, sh3, sh4, sparc, and sparc64, and with defconfig on ia64.

Commit 2aede851 (PM / Hibernate: Freeze kernel threads after preallocating memory) postponed the freezing of kernel threads to after preallocating memory for hibernation. But while doing that, the hibernation test TEST_FREEZER and the test mode HIBERNATION_TESTPROC were not moved accordingly. As a result, when using these test modes, it only goes upto the freezing of userspace and exits, when in fact it should go till the complete end of task freezing stage, namely the freezing of kernel threads as well. So, move these points of exit to appropriate places so that freezing of kernel threads is also tested while using these test harnesses. Signed-off-by: Srivatsa S.

commit f39925db (ipv4: Cache learned redirect information in inetpeer.) introduced a regression in ICMP redirect handling. It assumed ipv4_dst_check() would be called because all possible routes were attached to the inetpeer we modify in ip_rt_redirect(), but thats not true. commit 7cc9150e (route: fix ICMP redirect validation) tried to fix this but solution was not complete. (It fixed only one route) So we must lookup existing routes (including different TOS values) and call check_peer_redir() on them.
