commit 1c7e7f6c upstream. Offlining memory may block forever, waiting for kswapd() to wake up because kswapd() does not check the event kthread->should_stop before sleeping. The proper pattern, from Documentation/memory-barriers.txt, is: --- waker --- event_indicated = 1; wake_up_process(event_daemon); --- sleeper --- for (;;) { set_current_state(TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE); if (event_indicated) break; schedule(); } set_current_state() may be wrapped by: prepare_to_wait(); In the kswapd() case, event_indicated is kthread->should_stop. === offlining memory (waker) === kswapd_stop() kthread_stop() kthread->should_stop = 1 wake_up_process() wait_for_completion() === kswapd_try_to_sleep (sleeper) === kswapd_try_to_sleep() prepare_to_wait() . . schedule() . . finish_wait() The schedule() needs to be protected by a test of kthread->should_stop, which is wrapped by kthread_should_stop().

commit 6b1859db upstream. In commit 6b43ae8a, I introduced a bug that kept the STA_INS or STA_DEL bit from being cleared from time_status via adjtimex() without forcing STA_PLL first. Usually once the STA_INS is set, it isn't cleared until the leap second is applied, so its unlikely this affected anyone. However during testing I noticed it took some effort to cancel a leap second once STA_INS was set. Signed-off-by:

commit cd60042c upstream. When we get back a FIND_FIRST/NEXT result, we have some info about the dentry that we use to instantiate a new inode. We were ignoring and discarding that info when we had an existing dentry in the cache. Fix this by updating the inode in place when we find an existing dentry and the uniqueid is the same.

This is a backport of 3e997130 The leap second rework unearthed another issue of inconsistent data. On timekeeping_resume() the timekeeper data is updated, but nothing calls timekeeping_update(), so now the update code in the timer interrupt sees stale values. This has been the case before those changes, but then the timer interrupt was using stale data as well so this went unnoticed for quite some time. Add the missing update call, so all the data is consistent everywhere. Reported-by:

This is a backport of 5baefd6d The update of the hrtimer base offsets on all cpus cannot be made atomically from the timekeeper.lock held and interrupt disabled region as smp function calls are not allowed there. clock_was_set(), which enforces the update on all cpus, is called either from preemptible process context in case of do_settimeofday() or from the softirq context when the offset modification happened in the timer interrupt itself due to a leap second. In both cases there is a race window for an hrtimer interrupt between dropping timekeeper lock, enabling interrupts and clock_was_set() issuing the updates. Any interrupt which arrives in that window will see the new time but operate on stale offsets. So we need to make sure that an hrtimer interrupt always sees a consistent state of time and offsets. ktime_get_update_offsets() allows us to get the current monotonic time and update the per cpu hrtimer base offsets from hrtimer_interrupt() to capture a consistent state of monotonic time and the offsets. The function replaces the existing ktime_get() calls in hrtimer_interrupt(). The overhead of the new function vs. ktime_get() is minimal as it just adds two store operations. This ensures that any changes to realtime or boottime offsets are noticed and stored into the per-cpu hrtimer base structures, prior to any hrtimer expiration and guarantees that timers are not expired early.

This is a backport of f6c06abf To finally fix the infamous leap second issue and other race windows caused by functions which change the offsets between the various time bases (CLOCK_MONOTONIC, CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_BOOTTIME) we need a function which atomically gets the current monotonic time and updates the offsets of CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_BOOTTIME with minimalistic overhead. The previous patch which provides ktime_t offsets allows us to make this function almost as cheap as ktime_get() which is going to be replaced in hrtimer_interrupt(). Signed-off-by:

This is a backport of 5b9fe759 We need to update the hrtimer clock offsets from the hrtimer interrupt context. To avoid conversions from timespec to ktime_t maintain a ktime_t based representation of those offsets in the timekeeper. This puts the conversion overhead into the code which updates the underlying offsets and provides fast accessible values in the hrtimer interrupt. Signed-off-by:

This is a backport of 4873fa07 The timekeeping code misses an update of the hrtimer subsystem after a leap second happened. Due to that timers based on CLOCK_REALTIME are either expiring a second early or late depending on whether a leap second has been inserted or deleted until an operation is initiated which causes that update. Unless the update happens by some other means this discrepancy between the timekeeping and the hrtimer data stays forever and timers are expired either early or late. The reported immediate workaround - $ data -s "`date`" - is causing a call to clock_was_set() which updates the hrtimer data structures. See: http://www.sheeri.com/content/mysql-and-leap-second-high-cpu-and-fix Add the missing clock_was_set() call to update_wall_time() in case of a leap second event. The actual update is deferred to softirq context as the necessary smp function call cannot be invoked from hard interrupt context. Signed-off-by:

This is a backport of f55a6faa clock_was_set() cannot be called from hard interrupt context because it calls on_each_cpu(). For fixing the widely reported leap seconds issue it is necessary to call it from hard interrupt context, i.e. the timer tick code, which does the timekeeping updates. Provide a new function which denotes it in the hrtimer cpu base structure of the cpu on which it is called and raise the hrtimer softirq. We then execute the clock_was_set() notificiation from softirq context in run_hrtimer_softirq(). The hrtimer softirq is rarely used, so polling the flag there is not a performance issue.

This is a backport of 6b43ae8a This should have been backported when it was commited, but I mistook the problem as requiring the ntp_lock changes that landed in 3.4 in order for it to occur. Unfortunately the same issue can happen (with only one cpu) as follows: do_adjtimex() write_seqlock_irq(&xtime_lock); process_adjtimex_modes() process_adj_status() ntp_start_leap_timer() hrtimer_start() hrtimer_reprogram() tick_program_event() clockevents_program_event() ktime_get() seq = req_seqbegin(xtime_lock); [DEADLOCK] This deadlock will no always occur, as it requires the leap_timer to force a hrtimer_reprogram which only happens if its set and there's no sooner timer to expire. NOTE: This patch, being faithful to the original commit, introduces a bug (we don't update wall_to_monotonic), which will be resovled by backporting a following fix. Original commit message below: Since commit 7dffa3c6 the ntp subsystem has used an hrtimer for triggering the leapsecond adjustment. However, this can cause a potential livelock. Thomas diagnosed this as the following pattern: CPU 0 CPU 1 do_adjtimex() spin_lock_irq(&ntp_lock); process_adjtimex_modes(); timer_interrupt() process_adj_status(); do_timer() ntp_start_leap_timer(); write_lock(&xtime_lock); hrtimer_start(); update_wall_time(); hrtimer_reprogram(); ntp_tick_length() tick_program_event() spin_lock(&ntp_lock); clockevents_program_event() ktime_get() seq = req_seqbegin(xtime_lock); This patch tries to avoid the problem by reverting back to not using an hrtimer to inject leapseconds, and instead we handle the leapsecond processing in the second_overflow() function. The downside to this change is that on systems that support highres timers, the leap second processing will occur on a HZ tick boundary, (ie: ~1-10ms, depending on HZ) after the leap second instead of possibly sooner (~34us in my tests w/ x86_64 lapic). This patch applies on top of tip/timers/core. CC: Sasha Levin <levinsasha928@gmail.com> CC: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Reported-by:

commit efd82118 upstream. On rt2x00_dmastart() we increase index specified by Q_INDEX and on rt2x00_dmadone() we increase index specified by Q_INDEX_DONE. So entries between Q_INDEX_DONE and Q_INDEX are those we currently process in the hardware. Entries between Q_INDEX and Q_INDEX_DONE are those we can submit to the hardware. According to that fix rt2x00usb_kick_queue(), as we need to submit RX entries that are not processed by the hardware. It worked before only for empty queue, otherwise was broken. Note that for TX queues indexes ordering are ok. We need to kick entries that have filled skb, but was not submitted to the hardware, i.e. started from Q_INDEX_DONE and have ENTRY_DATA_PENDING bit set. From practical standpoint this fixes RX queue stall, usually reproducible in AP mode, like for example reported here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=828824Reported-and-tested-by:

commit 05d290d6 upstream. If a parent and child process open the two ends of a fifo, and the child immediately exits, the parent may receive a SIGCHLD before its open() returns. In that case, we need to make sure that open() will return successfully after the SIGCHLD handler returns, instead of throwing EINTR or being restarted. Otherwise, the restarted open() would incorrectly wait for a second partner on the other end. The following test demonstrates the EINTR that was wrongly thrown from the parent’s open(). Change .sa_flags = 0 to .sa_flags = SA_RESTART to see a deadlock instead, in which the restarted open() waits for a second reader that will never come. (On my systems, this happens pretty reliably within about 5 to 500 iterations. Others report that it manages to loop ~forever sometimes; YMMV.) #include <sys/stat.h> #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/wait.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <signal.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <unistd.h> #define CHECK(x) do if ((x) == -1) {perror(#x); abort();} while(0) void handler(int signum) {} int main() { struct sigaction act = {.sa_handler = handler, .sa_flags = 0}; CHECK(sigaction(SIGCHLD, &act, NULL)); CHECK(mknod("fifo", S_IFIFO | S_IRWXU, 0)); for (;;) { int fd; pid_t pid; putc('.', stderr); CHECK(pid = fork()); if (pid == 0) { CHECK(fd = open("fifo", O_RDONLY)); _exit(0); } CHECK(fd = open("fifo", O_WRONLY)); CHECK(close(fd)); CHECK(waitpid(pid, NULL, 0)); } } This is what I suspect was causing the Git test suite to fail in t9010-svn-fe.sh: http://bugs.debian.org/678852Signed-off-by:

commit 596fd462 upstream. We don't need to open code the divide function, just use div_u64 that already exists and do the same job. While this is a straightforward clean up, there is more to that, the real motivation for this. While building on a cross compiling environment in armel, using gcc 4.6.3 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5), I was getting the following build error: ERROR: "__aeabi_uldivmod" [drivers/mtd/nand/nandsim.ko] undefined! After investigating with objdump and hand built assembly version generated with the compiler, I narrowed __aeabi_uldivmod as being generated from the divide function. When nandsim.c is built with -fno-inline-functions-called-once, that happens when CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH is enabled, the do_div optimization in arch/arm/include/asm/div64.h doesn't work as expected with the open coded divide function: even if the do_div we are using doesn't have a constant divisor, the compiler still includes the else parts of the optimized do_div macro, and translates the divisions there to use __aeabi_uldivmod, instead of only calling __do_div_asm -> __do_div64 and optimizing/removing everything else out. So to reproduce, gcc 4.6 plus CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH=y and CONFIG_MTD_NAND_NANDSIM=m should do it, building on armel. After this change, the compiler does the intended thing even with -fno-inline-functions-called-once, and optimizes out as expected the constant handling in the optimized do_div on arm. As this also avoids a build issue, I'm marking for Stable, as I think is applicable for this case. Signed-off-by:

commit 91f68c89 upstream. Commit 080399aa ("block: don't mark buffers beyond end of disk as mapped") exposed a bug in __getblk_slow that causes mount to hang as it loops infinitely waiting for a buffer that lies beyond the end of the disk to become uptodate. The problem was initially reported by Torsten Hilbrich here: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/6/18/54 and also reported independently here: http://www.sysresccd.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=4511 and then Richard W.M. Jones and Marcos Mello noted a few separate bugzillas also associated with the same issue. This patch has been confirmed to fix: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=835019 The main problem is here, in __getblk_slow: for (;;) { struct buffer_head * bh; int ret; bh = __find_get_block(bdev, block, size); if (bh) return bh; ret = grow_buffers(bdev, block, size); if (ret < 0) return NULL; if (ret == 0) free_more_memory(); } __find_get_block does not find the block, since it will not be marked as mapped, and so grow_buffers is called to fill in the buffers for the associated page. I believe the for (;;) loop is there primarily to retry in the case of memory pressure keeping grow_buffers from succeeding. However, we also continue to loop for other cases, like the block lying beond the end of the disk. So, the fix I came up with is to only loop when grow_buffers fails due to memory allocation issues (return value of 0). The attached patch was tested by myself, Torsten, and Rich, and was found to resolve the problem in call cases. Signed-off-by:

commit 4bf2bba3 upstream. If page migration cannot charge the temporary page to the memcg, migrate_pages() will return -ENOMEM. This isn't considered in memory compaction however, and the loop continues to iterate over all pageblocks trying to isolate and migrate pages. If a small number of very large memcgs happen to be oom, however, these attempts will mostly be futile leading to an enormous amout of cpu consumption due to the page migration failures. This patch will short circuit and fail memory compaction if migrate_pages() returns -ENOMEM. COMPACT_PARTIAL is returned in case some migrations were successful so that the page allocator will retry.

commit d8adde17 upstream. kswapd_stop() is called to destroy the kswapd work thread when all memory of a NUMA node has been offlined. But kswapd_stop() only terminates the work thread without resetting NODE_DATA(nid)->kswapd to NULL. The stale pointer will prevent kswapd_run() from creating a new work thread when adding memory to the memory-less NUMA node again. Eventually the stale pointer may cause invalid memory access. An example stack dump as below. It's reproduced with 2.6.32, but latest kernel has the same issue.

commit fc448a18 upstream. If a RAID10 has an odd number of chunks - as might happen when there are an odd number of devices - the last chunk has no pair and so is not mirrored. We don't store data there, but when recovering the last device in an array we retry to recover that last chunk from a non-existent location. This results in an error, and the recovery aborts. When we get to that last chunk we should just stop - there is nothing more to do anyway. This bug has been present since the introduction of RAID10, so the patch is appropriate for any -stable kernel. Reported-by:

commit 6c0544e2 upstream. In chunk_aligned_read() we are adding data_offset before calling is_badblock. But is_badblock also adds data_offset, so that is bad. So move the addition of data_offset to after the call to is_badblock. This bug was introduced by commit 31c176ec md/raid5: avoid reading from known bad blocks. which first appeared in 3.0. So that patch is suitable for any -stable kernel from 3.0.y onwards. However it will need minor revision for most of those (as the comment didn't appear until recently). Signed-off-by:

commit 4ad33411 upstream. It makes sense to label "Digital Thermal Sensor" as "DTS", but unfortunately the string "dts" was already used for "Debug Store", and /proc/cpuinfo is a user space ABI. Therefore, rename this to "dtherm". This conflict went into mainline via the hwmon tree without any x86 maintainer ack, and without any kind of hint in the subject. a4659053 x86/hwmon: fix initialization of coretemp Reported-by:

commit 32587371 upstream. Fix a regression introduced by 7eaceacc ("block: remove per-queue plugging"). In that patch, Jens removed the whole mm_unplug_device() function, which used to be the trigger to make umem start to work. We need to implement unplugging to make umem start to work, or I/O will never be triggered. Signed-off-by:
