      vfs: Revert spurious fix to spinning prevention in prune_icache_sb · 5b55d708
      Suleiman Souhlal authored
      Revert commit 62a3ddef ("vfs: fix spinning prevention in prune_icache_sb").
      
      This commit doesn't look right: since we are looking at the tail of the
      list (sb->s_inode_lru.prev) if we want to skip an inode, we should put
      it back at the head of the list instead of the tail, otherwise we will
      keep spinning on it.
      
      Discovered when investigating why prune_icache_sb came top in perf
      reports of a swapping load.

      kobject: fix kset_find_obj() race with concurrent last kobject_put() · a49b7e82
      Linus Torvalds authored
      Anatol Pomozov identified a race condition that hits module unloading
      and re-loading.  To quote Anatol:
      
       "This is a race codition that exists between kset_find_obj() and
        kobject_put().  kset_find_obj() might return kobject that has refcount
        equal to 0 if this kobject is freeing by kobject_put() in other
        thread.
      
        Here is timeline for the crash in case if kset_find_obj() searches for
        an object tht nobody holds and other thread is doing kobject_put() on
        the same kobject:
      
          THREAD A (calls kset_find_obj())     THREAD B (calls kobject_put())
          splin_lock()
                                               atomic_dec_return(kobj->kref), counter gets zero here
                                               ... starts kobject cleanup ....
                                               spin_lock() // WAIT thread A in kobj_kset_leave()
          iterate over kset->list
          atomic_inc(kobj->kref) (counter becomes 1)
          spin_unlock()
                                               spin_lock() // taken
                                               // it does not know that thread A increased counter so it
                                               remove obj from list
                                               spin_unlock()
                                               vfree(module) // frees module object with containing kobj
      
          // kobj points to freed memory area!!
          kobject_put(kobj) // OOPS!!!!
      
        The race above happens because module.c tries to use kset_find_obj()
        when somebody unloads module.  The module.c code was introduced in
        commit 6494a93d"
      
      Anatol supplied a patch specific for module.c that worked around the
      problem by simply not using kset_find_obj() at all, but rather than make
      a local band-aid, this just fixes kset_find_obj() to be thread-safe
      using the proper model of refusing the get a new reference if the
      refcount has already dropped to zero.
      
      See examples of this proper refcount handling not only in the kref
      documentation, but in various other equivalent uses of this pattern by
      grepping for atomic_inc_not_zero().
      
      [ Side note: the module race does indicate that module loading and
        unloading is not properly serialized wrt sysfs information using the
        module mutex.  That may require further thought, but this is the
        correct fix at the kobject layer regardless. ]

      Btrfs: make sure nbytes are right after log replay · 4bc4bee4
      Josef Bacik authored
      While trying to track down a tree log replay bug I noticed that fsck was always
      complaining about nbytes not being right for our fsynced file.  That is because
      the new fsync stuff doesn't wait for ordered extents to complete, so the inodes
      nbytes are not necessarily updated properly when we log it.  So to fix this we
      need to set nbytes to whatever it is on the inode that is on disk, so when we
      replay the extents we can just add the bytes that are being added as we replay
      the extent.  This makes it work for the case that we have the wrong nbytes or
      the case that we logged everything and nbytes is actually correct.  With this
      I'm no longer getting nbytes errors out of btrfsck.

      x86-32: Fix possible incomplete TLB invalidate with PAE pagetables · 1de14c3c
      Dave Hansen authored
      This patch attempts to fix:
      
      	https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56461
      
      The symptom is a crash and messages like this:
      
      	chrome: Corrupted page table at address 34a03000
      	*pdpt = 0000000000000000 *pde = 0000000000000000
      	Bad pagetable: 000f [#1] PREEMPT SMP
      
      Ingo guesses this got introduced by commit 611ae8e3 ("x86/tlb:
      enable tlb flush range support for x86") since that code started to free
      unused pagetables.
      
      On x86-32 PAE kernels, that new code has the potential to free an entire
      PMD page and will clear one of the four page-directory-pointer-table
      (aka pgd_t entries).
      
      The hardware aggressively "caches" these top-level entries and invlpg
      does not actually affect the CPU's copy.  If we clear one we *HAVE* to
      do a full TLB flush, otherwise we might continue using a freed pmd page.
      (note, we do this properly on the population side in pud_populate()).
      
      This patch tracks whenever we clear one of these entries in the 'struct
      mmu_gather', and ensures that we follow up with a full tlb flush.
      
      BTW, I disassembled and checked that:
      
      	if (tlb->fullmm == 0)
      and
      	if (!tlb->fullmm && !tlb->need_flush_all)
      
      generate essentially the same code, so there should be zero impact there
      to the !PAE case.

      tracing: Fix possible NULL pointer dereferences · 6a76f8c0
      Namhyung Kim authored
      Currently set_ftrace_pid and set_graph_function files use seq_lseek
      for their fops.  However seq_open() is called only for FMODE_READ in
      the fops->open() so that if an user tries to seek one of those file
      when she open it for writing, it sees NULL seq_file and then panic.
      
      It can be easily reproduced with following command:
      
        $ cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
        $ echo 1234 | sudo tee -a set_ftrace_pid
      
      In this example, GNU coreutils' tee opens the file with fopen(, "a")
      and then the fopen() internally calls lseek().
