Theoretically it is possible that the watchdog timer expires right at the time when a user sets 'watchdog_thresh' to zero (note: this disables the lockup detectors). In this scenario, the is_softlockup() function - which is called by the timer - could produce a false positive. Fix this by checking the current value of 'watchdog_thresh'. Signed-off-by:

watchdog_{park|unpark}_threads() are now called in code paths that protect themselves against CPU hotplug, so {get|put}_online_cpus() calls are redundant and can be removed. Signed-off-by: -
Ulrich Obergfell authored
The handler functions for watchdog parameters in /proc/sys/kernel do not protect themselves against races with CPU hotplug. Hence, theoretically it is possible that a new watchdog thread is started on a hotplugged CPU while a parameter is being modified, and the thread could thus use a parameter value that is 'in transition'. For example, if 'watchdog_thresh' is being set to zero (note: this disables the lockup detectors) the thread would erroneously use the value zero as the sample period. To avoid such races and to keep the /proc handler code consistent, call {get|put}_online_cpus() in proc_watchdog_common() {get|put}_online_cpus() in proc_watchdog_thresh() {get|put}_online_cpus() in proc_watchdog_cpumask() Signed-off-by: -

The lockup detector suspend/resume interface that was introduced by commit 8c073d27 ("watchdog: introduce watchdog_suspend() and watchdog_resume()") does not protect itself against races with CPU hotplug. Hence, theoretically it is possible that a new watchdog thread is started on a hotplugged CPU while the lockup detector is suspended, and the thread could thus interfere unexpectedly with the code that requested to suspend the lockup detector. Avoid the race by calling get_online_cpus() in lockup_detector_suspend() put_online_cpus() in lockup_detector_resume() Signed-off-by:

The only way to enable a hardlockup to panic the machine is to set 'nmi_watchdog=panic' on the kernel command line. This makes it awkward for end users and folks who want to run automate tests (like myself). Mimic the softlockup_panic knob and create a /proc/sys/kernel/hardlockup_panic knob. Signed-off-by:

In many cases of hardlockup reports, it's actually not possible to know why it triggered, because the CPU that got stuck is usually waiting on a resource (with IRQs disabled) in posession of some other CPU is holding. IOW, we are often looking at the stacktrace of the victim and not the actual offender. Introduce sysctl / cmdline parameter that makes it possible to have hardlockup detector perform all-CPU backtrace. Signed-off-by:

If kthread_park() returns an error, watchdog_park_threads() should not blindly 'roll back' the already parked threads to the unparked state. Instead leave it up to the callers to handle such errors appropriately in their context. For example, it is redundant to unpark the threads if the lockup detectors will soon be disabled by the callers anyway. Signed-off-by:

Ulrich Obergfell authored
The original watchdog_park_threads() function that was introduced by commit 81a4beef ("watchdog: introduce watchdog_park_threads() and watchdog_unpark_threads()") takes a very simple approach to handle errors returned by kthread_park(): It attempts to roll back all watchdog threads to the unparked state. However, this may be undesired behaviour from the perspective of the caller which may want to handle errors as appropriate in its specific context. Currently, there are two possible call chains: - watchdog suspend/resume interface lockup_detector_suspend watchdog_park_threads - write to parameters in /proc/sys/kernel proc_watchdog_update watchdog_enable_all_cpus update_watchdog_all_cpus watchdog_park_threads Instead of 'blindly' attempting to unpark the watchdog threads if a kthread_park() call fails, the new approach is to disable the lockup detectors in the above call chains. Failure becomes visible to the user as follows: - error messages from lockup_detector_suspend() or watchdog_enable_all_cpus() - the state that can be read from /proc/sys/kernel/watchdog_enabled - the 'write' system call in the latter call chain returns an error I did not experience kthread_park() failures in practice, I used some instrumentation to fake error returns from kthread_park() in order to test the patches. This patch (of 5): Restore the previous value of watchdog_thresh _and_ sample_period if proc_watchdog_update() returns an error. The variables must be consistent to avoid false positives of the lockup detectors. Signed-off-by:

Make struct callback_head aligned to size of pointer. On most architectures it happens naturally due ABI requirements, but some architectures (like CRIS) have weird ABI and we need to ask it explicitly. The alignment is required to guarantee that bits 0 and 1 of @next will be clear under normal conditions -- as long as we use call_rcu(), call_rcu_bh(), call_rcu_sched(), or call_srcu() to queue callback. This guarantee is important for few reasons: - future call_rcu_lazy() will make use of lower bits in the pointer; - the structure shares storage spacer in struct page with @compound_head, which encode PageTail() in bit 0. The guarantee is needed to avoid false-positive PageTail(). False postive PageTail() caused crash on crisv32[1]. It happend due misaligned task_struct->rcu, which was byte-aligned.

A node can mount multiple ocfs2 volumes. And if thread names are same for each volume/domain, it will bring inconvenience when analyzing problems because we have to identify which volume/domain the messages belong to. Since thread name will be printed to messages, so add volume uuid or dlm name to thread name can benefit problem analysis. Signed-off-by:

Currently cluster allocation is always trying to find a victim chain (a chian has most space), and this may lead to poor performance because of discontiguous allocation in some scenarios. Our test case is block size 4k, cluster size 1M and mount option with localalloc=2048 (2G), since a gd is 32256M (about 31.5G) and a localalloc window is only 2G, creating 50G file will result in 2G from gd0, 2G from gd1, ... One way to improve performance is enlarge localalloc window size (max 31104M), but this will make end user feel that about 30G is suddenly "missing", and localalloc currently do not support steal, which means one node cannot use another node's localalloc even it is not used in fact. So using the last gd to record the allocation and continues with the gd if it has enough space for a localalloc window can make the allocation as more contiguous as possible. Our test result is below (evaluated in IOPS), which is using iometer running in VM, dynamic vhd virtual disk stored in ocfs2.

The comment here says that it is checking for invalid bits. But, the mask is *actually* checking to ensure that _any_ valid bit is set, which is quite different. Without this check, an unexpected bit could get set on an inotify object. Since these bits are also interpreted by the fsnotify/dnotify code, there is the potential for an object to be mishandled inside the kernel. For instance, can we be sure that setting the dnotify flag FS_DN_RENAME on an inotify watch is harmless? Add the actual check which was intended. Retain the existing inotify bits are being added to the watch. Plus, this is existing behavior which would be nice to preserve. I did a quick sniff test that inotify functions and that my 'inotify-tools' package passes 'make check'. Signed-off-by:

There was a report that my patch: inotify: actually check for invalid bits in sys_inotify_add_watch() broke CRIU. The reason is that CRIU looks up raw flags in /proc/$pid/fdinfo/* to figure out how to rebuild inotify watches and then passes those flags directly back in to the inotify API. One of those flags (FS_EVENT_ON_CHILD) is set in mark->mask, but is not part of the inotify API. It is used inside the kernel to _implement_ inotify but it is not and has never been part of the API. My patch above ensured that we only allow bits which are part of the API (IN_ALL_EVENTS). This broke CRIU. FS_EVENT_ON_CHILD is really internal to the kernel. It is set _anyway_ on all inotify marks. So, CRIU was really just trying to set a bit that was already set. This patch hides that bit from fdinfo. CRIU will not see the bit, not try to set it, and should work as before. We should not have been exposing this bit in the first place, so this is a good patch independent of the CRIU problem. Signed-off-by:Andrey Wagin <avagin@gmail.com> Acked-by:

Pull core block updates from Jens Axboe: "This is the core block pull request for 4.4. I've got a few more topic branches this time around, some of them will layer on top of the core+drivers changes and will come in a separate round. So not a huge chunk of changes in this round. This pull request contains: - Enable blk-mq page allocation tracking with kmemleak, from Catalin. - Unused prototype removal in blk-mq from Christoph. - Cleanup of the q->blk_trace exchange, using cmpxchg instead of two xchg()'s, from Davidlohr. - A plug flush fix from Jeff. - Also from Jeff, a fix that means we don't have to update shared tag sets at init time unless we do a state change. This cuts down boot times on thousands of devices a lot with scsi/blk-mq. - blk-mq waitqueue barrier fix from Kosuke. - Various fixes from Ming: - Fixes for segment merging and splitting, and checks, for the old core and blk-mq. - Potential blk-mq speedup by marking ctx pending at the end of a plug insertion batch in blk-mq. - direct-io no page dirty on kernel direct reads. - A WRITE_SYNC fix for mpage from Roman" * 'for-4.4/core' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: blk-mq: avoid excessive boot delays with large lun counts blktrace: re-write setting q->blk_trace blk-mq: mark ctx as pending at batch in flush plug path blk-mq: fix for trace_block_plug() block: check bio_mergeable() early before merging blk-mq: check bio_mergeable() early before merging block: avoid to merge splitted bio block: setup bi_phys_segments after splitting block: fix plug list flushing for nomerge queues blk-mq: remove unused blk_mq_clone_flush_request prototype blk-mq: fix waitqueue_active without memory barrier in block/blk-mq-tag.c fs: direct-io: don't dirtying pages for ITER_BVEC/ITER_KVEC direct read fs/mpage.c: forgotten WRITE_SYNC in case of data integrity write block: kmemleak: Track the page allocations for struct request -

Pull power management and ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki: "Quite a new features are included this time. First off, the Collaborative Processor Performance Control interface (version 2) defined by ACPI will now be supported on ARM64 along with a cpufreq frontend for CPU performance scaling. Second, ACPI gets a new infrastructure for the early probing of IRQ chips and clock sources (along the lines of the existing similar mechanism for DT). Next, the ACPI core and the generic device properties API will now support a recently introduced hierarchical properties extension of the _DSD (Device Specific Data) ACPI device configuration object. If the ACPI platform firmware uses that extension to organize device properties in a hierarchical way, the kernel will automatically handle it and make those properties available to device drivers via the generic device properties API. It also will be possible to build the ACPICA's AML interpreter debugger into the kernel now and use that to diagnose AML-related problems more efficiently. In the future, this should make it possible to single-step AML execution and do similar things. Interesting stuff, although somewhat experimental at this point. Finally, the PM core gets a new mechanism that can be used by device drivers to distinguish between suspend-to-RAM (based on platform firmware support) and suspend-to-idle (or other variants of system suspend the platform firmware is not involved in) and possibly optimize their device suspend/resume handling accordingly. In addition to that, some existing features are re-organized quite substantially. First, the ACPI-based handling of PCI host bridges on x86 and ia64 is unified and the common code goes into the ACPI core (so as to reduce code duplication and eliminate non-essential differences between the two architectures in that area). Second, the Operating Performance Points (OPP) framework is reorganized to make the code easier to find and follow. Next, the cpufreq core's sysfs interface is reorganized to get rid of the "primary CPU" concept for configurations in which the same performance scaling settings are shared between multiple CPUs. Finally, some interfaces that aren't necessary any more are dropped from the generic power domains framework. On top of the above we have some minor extensions, cleanups and bug fixes in multiple places, as usual. Specifics: - ACPICA update to upstream revision 20150930 (Bob Moore, Lv Zheng). The most significant change is to allow the AML debugger to be built into the kernel. On top of that there is an update related to the NFIT table (the ACPI persistent memory interface) and a few fixes and cleanups. - ACPI CPPC2 (Collaborative Processor Performance Control v2) support along with a cpufreq frontend (Ashwin Chaugule). This can only be enabled on ARM64 at this point. - New ACPI infrastructure for the early probing of IRQ chips and clock sources (Marc Zyngier). - Support for a new hierarchical properties extension of the ACPI _DSD (Device Specific Data) device configuration object allowing the kernel to handle hierarchical properties (provided by the platform firmware this way) automatically and make them available to device drivers via the generic device properties interface (Rafael Wysocki). - Generic device properties API extension to obtain an index of certain string value in an array of strings, along the lines of of_property_match_string(), but working for all of the supported firmware node types, and support for the "dma-names" device property based on it (Mika Westerberg). - ACPI core fix to parse the MADT (Multiple APIC Description Table) entries in the order expected by platform firmware (and mandated by the specification) to avoid confusion on systems with more than 255 logical CPUs (Lukasz Anaczkowski). - Consolidation of the ACPI-based handling of PCI host bridges on x86 and ia64 (Jiang Liu). - ACPI core fixes to ensure that the correct IRQ number is used to represent the SCI (System Control Interrupt) in the cases when it has been re-mapped (Chen Yu). - New ACPI backlight quirk for Lenovo IdeaPad S405 (Hans de Goede). - ACPI EC driver fixes (Lv Zheng). - Assorted ACPI fixes and cleanups (Dan Carpenter, Insu Yun, Jiri Kosina, Rami Rosen, Rasmus Villemoes). - New mechanism in the PM core allowing drivers to check if the platform firmware is going to be involved in the upcoming system suspend or if it has been involved in the suspend the system is resuming from at the moment (Rafael Wysocki). This should allow drivers to optimize their suspend/resume handling in some cases and the changes include a couple of users of it (the i8042 input driver, PCI PM). - PCI PM fix to prevent runtime-suspended devices with PME enabled from being resumed during system suspend even if they aren't configured to wake up the system from sleep (Rafael Wysocki). - New mechanism to report the number of a wakeup IRQ that woke up the system from sleep last time (Alexandra Yates). - Removal of unused interfaces from the generic power domains framework and fixes related to latency measurements in that code (Ulf Hansson, Daniel Lezcano). - cpufreq core sysfs interface rework to make it handle CPUs that share performance scaling settings (represented by a common cpufreq policy object) more symmetrically (Viresh Kumar). This should help to simplify the CPU offline/online handling among other things. - cpufreq core fixes and cleanups (Viresh Kumar). - intel_pstate fixes related to the Turbo Activation Ratio (TAR) mechanism on client platforms which causes the turbo P-states range to vary depending on platform firmware settings (Srinivas Pandruvada). - intel_pstate sysfs interface fix (Prarit Bhargava). - Assorted cpufreq driver (imx, tegra20, powernv, integrator) fixes and cleanups (Bai Ping, Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz, Shilpasri G Bhat, Luis de Bethencourt). - cpuidle mvebu driver cleanups (Russell King). - OPP (Operating Performance Points) framework code reorganization to make it more maintainable (Viresh Kumar). - Intel Broxton support for the RAPL (Running Average Power Limits) power capping driver (Amy Wiles). - Assorted power management code fixes and cleanups (Dan Carpenter, Geert Uytterhoeven, Geliang Tang, Luis de Bethencourt, Rasmus Villemoes)" * tag 'pm+acpi-4.4-rc1-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm: (108 commits) cpufreq: postfix policy directory with the first CPU in related_cpus cpufreq: create cpu/cpufreq/policyX directories cpufreq: remove cpufreq_sysfs_{create|remove}_file() cpufreq: create cpu/cpufreq at boot time cpufreq: Use cpumask_copy instead of cpumask_or to copy a mask cpufreq: ondemand: Drop unnecessary locks from update_sampling_rate() PM / Domains: Merge measurements for PM QoS device latencies PM / Domains: Don't measure ->start|stop() latency in system PM callbacks PM / clk: Fix broken build due to non-matching code and header #ifdefs ACPI / Documentation: add copy_dsdt to ACPI format options ACPI / sysfs: correctly check failing memory allocation ACPI / video: Add a quirk to force native backlight on Lenovo IdeaPad S405 ACPI / CPPC: Fix potential memory leak ACPI / CPPC: signedness bug in register_pcc_channel() ACPI / PAD: power_saving_thread() is not freezable ACPI / PM: Fix incorrect wakeup IRQ setting during suspend-to-idle ACPI: Using correct irq when waiting for events ACPI: Use correct IRQ when uninstalling ACPI interrupt handler cpuidle: mvebu: disable the bind/unbind attributes and use builtin_platform_driver cpuidle: mvebu: clean up multiple platform drivers ... -
