      xfs: sync eofblocks scans under iolock are livelock prone · 696bfc8e
      Brian Foster authored
      commit c3155097 upstream.
      
      The xfs_eofblocks.eof_scan_owner field is an internal field to
      facilitate invoking eofb scans from the kernel while under the iolock.
      This is necessary because the eofb scan acquires the iolock of each
      inode. Synchronous scans are invoked on certain buffered write failures
      while under iolock. In such cases, the scan owner indicates that the
      context for the scan already owns the particular iolock and prevents a
      double lock deadlock.
      
      eofblocks scans while under iolock are still livelock prone in the event
      of multiple parallel scans, however. If multiple buffered writes to
      different inodes fail and invoke eofblocks scans at the same time, each
      scan avoids a deadlock with its own inode by virtue of the
      eof_scan_owner field, but will never be able to acquire the iolock of
      the inode from the parallel scan. Because the low free space scans are
      invoked with SYNC_WAIT, the scan will not return until it has processed
      every tagged inode and thus both scans will spin indefinitely on the
      iolock being held across the opposite scan. This problem can be
      reproduced reliably by generic/224 on systems with higher cpu counts
      (x16).
      
      To avoid this problem, simplify the semantics of eofblocks scans to
      never invoke a scan while under iolock. This means that the buffered
      write context must drop the iolock before the scan. It must reacquire
      the lock before the write retry and also repeat the initial write
      checks, as the original state might no longer be valid once the iolock
      was dropped.

      xfs: pull up iolock from xfs_free_eofblocks() · ff4ea420
      Brian Foster authored
      commit a36b9261 upstream.
      
      xfs_free_eofblocks() requires the IOLOCK_EXCL lock, but is called from
      different contexts where the lock may or may not be held. The
      need_iolock parameter exists for this reason, to indicate whether
      xfs_free_eofblocks() must acquire the iolock itself before it can
      proceed.
      
      This is ugly and confusing. Simplify the semantics of
      xfs_free_eofblocks() to require the caller to acquire the iolock
      appropriately and kill the need_iolock parameter. While here, the mp
      param can be removed as well as the xfs_mount is accessible from the
      xfs_inode structure. This patch does not change behavior.

      KVM: nVMX: fix nested EPT detection · 3eb24329
      Ladi Prosek authored
      commit 7ad658b6 upstream.
      
      The nested_ept_enabled flag introduced in commit 7ca29de2 was not
      computed correctly. We are interested only in L1's EPT state, not the
      the combined L0+L1 value.
      
      In particular, if L0 uses EPT but L1 does not, nested_ept_enabled must
      be false to make sure that PDPSTRs are loaded based on CR3 as usual,
      because the special case described in 26.3.2.4 Loading Page-Directory-
      Pointer-Table Entries does not apply.
      
      Fixes: 7ca29de2 ("KVM: nVMX: fix CR3 load if L2 uses PAE paging and EPT")

      libceph: force GFP_NOIO for socket allocations · 8a7eb087

      sock_alloc_inode() allocates socket+inode and socket_wq with
