Lets remove the couple traces of modular infrastructure use, so that when reading the driver there is no doubt it is builtin-only. Since module_init translates to device_initcall in the non-modular case, the init ordering remains unchanged with this commit.

The function dasd_ro_store() calls set_disk_ro() to set the device in question read-only. Since set_disk_ro() might sleep, we can't call it while holding a lock. However, we also can't simply check if the device, block, and gdp references are valid before we call set_disk_ro() because an offline processing might have been started in the meanwhile which will destroy those references. In order to reliably call set_disk_ro() we have to ensure several things: - Still check validity of the mentioned references but additionally check if offline processing is running and bail out accordingly. Also, do this while holding the device lock. - To ensure that the block device is still safe after the lock, increase the open_count while still holding the device lock. Reviewed-by:

The reference to a device in question may get lost when the extended error reporting (EER) attribute is being enabled/disabled while the device is set offline at the same time. This is due to missing refcounting and incorrect locking. Fix this by the following: - In dasd_eer_store() get the device directly and handle the refcount accordingly. - Move the lock in dasd_eer_enable() up so we can ensure safe processing. - Check if the device is being set offline and return with -EBUSY if so. - While at it, change the return code from -EPERM to -EMEDIUMTYPE as suggested by a FIXME, since that is what we're actually checking.

Before we set a device offline, the open_count for the block device is checked and certain flags are checked and set as well. However, this is all done without holding any lock. Potentially, if the open_count was checked but the DASD_FLAG_OFFLINE wasn't set yet, a different process might want to increase the open_count depending on whether DASD_FLAG_OFFLINE is set or not in the meanwhile. This is quite racy and can lead to the loss of the device for that process and subsequently lead to a panic. Fix this by checking the open_count and setting the offline flags while holding the ccwdev lock. Reviewed-by:

When setting certain attributes, we actually set the according feature flag. Do this by using dasd_set_feature() at a few occurrences and remove duplicate code. In dasd_set_feature() dasd_find_busid() is used to retrieve the devmap for the device in question. Combined with the change above, this would require the device to be set online at least once so that a devmap is being created. Change that by using dasd_devmap_from_cdev() instead, which uses dasd_find_busid() first and will create a devmap accordingly if there is none yet. Reviewed-by:

On STP sync events the TOD clock will jump in time, either forward or backward. The TOD clocksource claims to be continuous but in case of an STP sync with a negative offset it is not. Subtract the offset injected by the STP sync check from the result of the TOD clocksource to make it continuous again. Add code to drift the offset towards zero with a fixed rate, steering 1 second in ~9 hours. Suggested-by:

Jan Höppner authored
Currently the block queue value max_segments is set to -1L, which is then implicitly casted to unsigned short in blk_queue_max_segments. This results in 65535 (64k) max_segments. Even though the resulting value is correct, setting it implicitly using -1L is rather confusing. Set the value explicitly using the USHRT_MAX macro instead. Reviewed-by:

gen_pool_alloc_algo() iterates over the chunks of a pool trying to find a contiguous block of memory that satisfies the allocation request. The shortcut if (size > atomic_read(&chunk->avail)) continue; makes the loop skip over chunks that do not have enough bytes left to fulfill the request. There are two situations, though, where an allocation might still fail: (1) The available memory is not contiguous, i.e. the request cannot be fulfilled due to external fragmentation. (2) A race condition. Another thread runs the same code concurrently and is quicker to grab the available memory. In those situations, the loop calls pool->algo() to search the entire chunk, and pool->algo() returns some value that is >= end_bit to indicate that the search failed. This return value is then assigned to start_bit. The variables start_bit and end_bit describe the range that should be searched, and this range should be reset for every chunk that is searched. Today, the code fails to reset start_bit to 0. As a result, prefixes of subsequent chunks are ignored. Memory allocations might fail even though there is plenty of room left in these prefixes of those other chunks.

But it's not impossible for an accounted allocation to happen from the memcg direct reclaim context, and we needed to reproduce this crash many times before we even got a useful stack trace out of it. Like other direct reclaimers, mark tasks in memcg reclaim PF_MEMALLOC to avoid recursing into any other form of direct reclaim. Then let recursive charges from PF_MEMALLOC contexts bypass the cgroup limit. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20161025141050.GA13019@cmpxchg.orgSigned-off-by:

Commit 68f24b08 ("sched/core: Free the stack early if CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK") may cause the task->stack to be freed during kmemleak_scan() execution, leading to either a NULL pointer fault (if task->stack is NULL) or kmemleak accessing already freed memory.

KASAN uses stackdepot to memorize stacks for all kmalloc/kfree calls. Current stackdepot capacity is 16MB (1024 top level entries x 4 pages on second level). Size of each stack is (num_frames + 3) * sizeof(long). Which gives us ~84K stacks. This capacity was chosen empirically and it is enough to run kernel normally. However, when lots of configs are enabled and a fuzzer tries to maximize code coverage, it easily hits the limit within tens of minutes. I've tested for long a time with number of top level entries bumped 4x (4096). And I think I've seen overflow only once. But I don't have all configs enabled and code coverage has not reached maximum yet. So bump it 8x to 8192. Since we have two-level table, memory cost of this is very moderate -- currently the top-level table is 8KB, with this patch it is 64KB, which is negligible under KASAN. Here is some approx math. 128MB allows us to memorize ~670K stacks (assuming stack is ~200b). I've grepped kernel for kmalloc|kfree|kmem_cache_alloc|kmem_cache_free| kzalloc|kstrdup|kstrndup|kmemdup and it gives ~60K matches. Most of alloc/free call sites are reachable with only one stack. But some utility functions can have large fanout. Assuming average fanout is 5x, total number of alloc/free stacks is ~300K.

The use of config_enabled() is ambiguous. For config options, IS_ENABLED(), IS_REACHABLE(), etc. will make intention clearer. Sometimes config_enabled() has been used for non-config options because it is useful to check whether the given symbol is defined or not. I have been tackling on deprecating config_enabled(), and now is the time to finish this work. Some new users have appeared for v4.9-rc1, but it is trivial to replace them: - arch/x86/mm/kaslr.c replace config_enabled() with IS_ENABLED() because CONFIG_X86_ESPFIX64 and CONFIG_EFI are boolean. - include/asm-generic/export.h replace config_enabled() with __is_defined(). Then, config_enabled() can be removed now. Going forward, please use IS_ENABLED(), IS_REACHABLE(), etc. for config options, and __is_defined() for non-config symbols.

When kmem accounting switched from account by default to only account if flagged by __GFP_ACCOUNT, IPC mqueue and messages was left out. The production use case at hand is that mqueues should be customizable via sysctls in Docker containers in a Kubernetes cluster. This can only be safely allowed to the users of the cluster (without the risk that they can cause resource shortage on a node, influencing other users' containers) if all resources they control are bounded, i.e. accounted for.

On large systems, when some slab caches grow to millions of objects (and many gigabytes), running 'cat /proc/slabinfo' can take up to 1-2 seconds. During this time, interrupts are disabled while walking the slab lists (slabs_full, slabs_partial, and slabs_free) for each node, and this sometimes causes timeouts in other drivers (for instance, Infiniband). This patch optimizes 'cat /proc/slabinfo' by maintaining a counter for total number of allocated slabs per node, per cache. This counter is updated when a slab is created or destroyed. This enables us to skip traversing the slabs_full list while gathering slabinfo statistics, and since slabs_full tends to be the biggest list when the cache is large, it results in a dramatic performance improvement. Getting slabinfo statistics now only requires walking the slabs_free and slabs_partial lists, and those lists are usually much smaller than slabs_full. We tested this after growing the dentry cache to 70GB, and the performance improved from 2s to 5ms.

In case list_lru_init_memcg() fails it goes into destroy_super(), which calls list_lru_destroy(). And in list_lru_init() we see that in case memcg_init_list_lru() fails, lru->node is freed, but not set NULL, which then leads list_lru_destroy() to believe it is initialized and call memcg_destroy_list_lru(). memcg_destroy_list_lru() in turn can access lru->node[i].memcg_lrus, which is NULL.

Back in commit f56141e3 ("all arches, signal: move restart_block to struct task_struct"), all architectures and core code were changed to use task_struct::restart_block. However, when h8300 support was subsequently restored in v4.2, it was not updated to account for this, and maintains thread_info::restart_block, which is not kept in sync. This patch drops the redundant restart_block from thread_info, and moves h8300 to the common one in task_struct, ensuring that syscall restarting always works as expected.

in_interrupt() returns a nonzero value when we are either in an interrupt or have bh disabled via local_bh_disable(). Since we are interested in only ignoring coverage from actual interrupts, do a proper check instead of just calling in_interrupt(). As a result of this change, kcov will start to collect coverage from within local_bh_disable()/local_bh_enable() sections.

There is a bug report that SLAB makes extreme load average due to over 2000 kworker thread. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=172981 This issue is caused by kmemcg feature that try to create new set of kmem_caches for each memcg. Recently, kmem_cache creation is slowed by synchronize_sched() and futher kmem_cache creation is also delayed since kmem_cache creation is synchronized by a global slab_mutex lock. So, the number of kworker that try to create kmem_cache increases quietly. synchronize_sched() is for lockless access to node's shared array but it's not needed when a new kmem_cache is created. So, this patch rules out that case. Fixes: 801faf0d ("mm/slab: lockless decision to grow cache") Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1475734855-4837-1-git-send-email-iamjoonsoo.kim@lge.comReported-by:
