      dump_stack: avoid potential deadlocks · d7ce3692
      Eric Dumazet authored
      Some servers experienced fatal deadlocks because of a combination of
      bugs, leading to multiple cpus calling dump_stack().
      
      The checksumming bug was fixed in commit 34ae6a1a ("ipv6: update
      skb->csum when CE mark is propagated").
      
      The second problem is a faulty locking in dump_stack()
      
      CPU1 runs in process context and calls dump_stack(), grabs dump_lock.
      
         CPU2 receives a TCP packet under softirq, grabs socket spinlock, and
         call dump_stack() from netdev_rx_csum_fault().
      
         dump_stack() spins on atomic_cmpxchg(&dump_lock, -1, 2), since
         dump_lock is owned by CPU1
      
      While dumping its stack, CPU1 is interrupted by a softirq, and happens
      to process a packet for the TCP socket locked by CPU2.
      
      CPU1 spins forever in spin_lock() : deadlock
      
      Stack trace on CPU1 looked like :
      
          NMI backtrace for cpu 1

      mm: validate_mm browse_rb SMP race condition · acf128d0
      Andrea Arcangeli authored
      The mmap_sem for reading in validate_mm called from expand_stack is not
      enough to prevent the argumented rbtree rb_subtree_gap information to
      change from under us because expand_stack may be running from other
      threads concurrently which will hold the mmap_sem for reading too.
      
      The argumented rbtree is updated with vma_gap_update under the
      page_table_lock so use it in browse_rb() too to avoid false positives.

      m32r: fix build failure due to SMP and MMU · af1ddcb5
      Sudip Mukherjee authored
      One of the randconfig build failed with the error:
      
        arch/m32r/kernel/smp.c: In function 'smp_flush_tlb_mm':
        arch/m32r/kernel/smp.c:283:20: error: subscripted value is neither array nor pointer nor vector
          mmc = &mm->context[cpu_id];
                            ^
        arch/m32r/kernel/smp.c: In function 'smp_flush_tlb_page':
        arch/m32r/kernel/smp.c:353:20: error: subscripted value is neither array nor pointer nor vector
          mmc = &mm->context[cpu_id];
                            ^
        arch/m32r/kernel/smp.c: In function 'smp_invalidate_interrupt':
        arch/m32r/kernel/smp.c:479:41: error: subscripted value is neither array nor pointer nor vector
          unsigned long *mmc = &flush_mm->context[cpu_id];
      
      It turned out that CONFIG_SMP was defined but CONFIG_MMU was not
      defined.  But arch/m32r/include/asm/mmu.h only defines mm_context_t as
      an array when both CONFIG_SMP and CONFIG_MMU are defined.  And
      arch/m32r/kernel/smp.c is always using context as an array.  So without
      MMU SMP can not work.

      block: fix pfn_mkwrite() DAX fault handler · 9c5a05bc
      Ross Zwisler authored
      Previously the pfn_mkwrite() fault handler for raw block devices called
      bldev_dax_fault() -> __dax_fault() to do a full DAX page fault.
      
      Really what the pfn_mkwrite() fault handler needs to do is call
      dax_pfn_mkwrite() to make sure that the radix tree entry for the given
      PTE is marked as dirty so that a follow-up fsync or msync call will
      flush it durably to media.

      signals: avoid random wakeups in sigsuspend() · 823dd322
      Sasha Levin authored
      A random wakeup can get us out of sigsuspend() without TIF_SIGPENDING
      being set.
      
      Avoid that by making sure we were signaled, like sys_pause() does.
