We do suppress_message_printing() check before we call call_console_drivers() now, so `level' param is not needed anymore.

This patch converts the rest of logbuf users (which are out of printk recursion case, but can deadlock in printk). To make printk-safe usage easier the patch introduces 4 helper macros: - logbuf_lock_irq()/logbuf_unlock_irq() lock/unlock the logbuf lock and disable/enable local IRQ - logbuf_lock_irqsave(flags)/logbuf_unlock_irqrestore(flags) lock/unlock the logbuf lock and saves/restores local IRQ state Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20161227141611.940-9-sergey.senozhatsky@gmail.com Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Cc: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Calvin Owens <calvinowens@fb.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org> Cc: Peter Hurley <peter@hurleysoftware.com> Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Sergey Senozhatsky <sergey.senozhatsky@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Petr Mladek <pmladek@suse.com>

We use printk-safe now which makes printk-recursion detection code in vprintk_emit() unreachable. The tricky thing here is that, apart from detecting and reporting printk recursions, that code also used to zap_locks() in case of panic() from the same CPU. However, zap_locks() does not look to be needed anymore: 1) Since commit 08d78658 ("panic: release stale console lock to always get the logbuf printed out") panic flushing of `logbuf' to console ignores the state of `console_sem' by doing panic() console_trylock(); console_unlock(); 2) Since commit cf9b1106 ("printk/nmi: flush NMI messages on the system panic") panic attempts to zap the `logbuf_lock' spin_lock to successfully flush nmi messages to `logbuf'. Basically, it seems that we either already do what zap_locks() used to do but in other places or we ignore the state of the lock. The only reaming difference is that we don't re-init the console semaphore in printk_safe_flush_on_panic(), but this is not necessary because we don't call console drivers from printk_safe_flush_on_panic() due to the fact that we are using a deferred printk() version (as was suggested by Petr Mladek).

Use printk_safe per-CPU buffers in printk recursion-prone blocks: -- around logbuf_lock protected sections in vprintk_emit() and console_unlock() -- around down_trylock_console_sem() and up_console_sem() Note that this solution addresses deadlocks caused by printk() recursive calls only. That is vprintk_emit() and console_unlock(). The rest will be converted in a followup patch. Another thing to note is that we now keep lockdep enabled in printk, because we are protected against the printk recursion caused by lockdep in vprintk_emit() by the printk-safe mechanism - we first switch to per-CPU buffers and only then access the deadlock-prone locks. Examples: 1) printk() from logbuf_lock spin_lock section Assume the following code: printk() raw_spin_lock(&logbuf_lock); WARN_ON(1); raw_spin_unlock(&logbuf_lock); which now produces: ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 366 at kernel/printk/printk.c:1811 vprintk_emit CPU: 0 PID: 366 Comm: bash Call Trace: warn_slowpath_null+0x1d/0x1f vprintk_emit+0x1cd/0x438 vprintk_default+0x1d/0x1f printk+0x48/0x50 [..] 2) printk() from semaphore sem->lock spin_lock section Assume the following code printk() console_trylock() down_trylock() raw_spin_lock_irqsave(&sem->lock, flags); WARN_ON(1); raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore(&sem->lock, flags); which now produces: ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 363 at kernel/locking/semaphore.c:141 down_trylock CPU: 1 PID: 363 Comm: bash Call Trace: warn_slowpath_null+0x1d/0x1f down_trylock+0x3d/0x62 ? vprintk_emit+0x3f9/0x414 console_trylock+0x31/0xeb vprintk_emit+0x3f9/0x414 vprintk_default+0x1d/0x1f printk+0x48/0x50 [..] 3) printk() from console_unlock() Assume the following code: printk() console_unlock() raw_spin_lock(&logbuf_lock); WARN_ON(1); raw_spin_unlock(&logbuf_lock); which now produces: ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 329 at kernel/printk/printk.c:2384 console_unlock CPU: 1 PID: 329 Comm: bash Call Trace: warn_slowpath_null+0x18/0x1a console_unlock+0x12d/0x559 ? trace_hardirqs_on_caller+0x16d/0x189 ? trace_hardirqs_on+0xd/0xf vprintk_emit+0x363/0x374 vprintk_default+0x18/0x1a printk+0x43/0x4b [..] 4) printk() from try_to_wake_up() Assume the following code: printk() console_unlock() up() try_to_wake_up() raw_spin_lock_irqsave(&p->pi_lock, flags); WARN_ON(1); raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore(&p->pi_lock, flags); which now produces: ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 363 at kernel/sched/core.c:2028 try_to_wake_up CPU: 3 PID: 363 Comm: bash Call Trace: warn_slowpath_null+0x1d/0x1f try_to_wake_up+0x7f/0x4f7 wake_up_process+0x15/0x17 __up.isra.0+0x56/0x63 up+0x32/0x42 __up_console_sem+0x37/0x55 console_unlock+0x21e/0x4c2 vprintk_emit+0x41c/0x462 vprintk_default+0x1d/0x1f printk+0x48/0x50 [..] 5) printk() from call_console_drivers() Assume the following code: printk() console_unlock() call_console_drivers() ...

Always use printk_deferred() in printk_safe_flush_line(). Flushing can be done from NMI or printk_safe contexts (when we are in panic), so we can't call console drivers, yet still want to store the messages in the logbuf buffer. Therefore we use a deferred printk version.

This patch extends the idea of NMI per-cpu buffers to regions that may cause recursive printk() calls and possible deadlocks. Namely, printk() can't handle printk calls from schedule code or printk() calls from lock debugging code (spin_dump() for instance); because those may be called with `sem->lock' already taken or any other `critical' locks (p->pi_lock, etc.). An example of deadlock can be vprintk_emit() console_unlock() up() << raw_spin_lock_irqsave(&sem->lock, flags); wake_up_process() try_to_wake_up() ttwu_queue() ttwu_activate() activate_task() enqueue_task() enqueue_task_fair() cfs_rq_of() task_of() WARN_ON_ONCE(!entity_is_task(se)) vprintk_emit() console_trylock() down_trylock() raw_spin_lock_irqsave(&sem->lock, flags) ^^^^ deadlock and some other cases. Just like in NMI implementation, the solution uses a per-cpu `printk_func' pointer to 'redirect' printk() calls to a 'safe' callback, that store messages in a per-cpu buffer and flushes them back to logbuf buffer later. Usage example: printk() printk_safe_enter_irqsave(flags) // // any printk() call from here will endup in vprintk_safe(), // that stores messages in a special per-CPU buffer. // printk_safe_exit_irqrestore(flags) The 'redirection' mechanism, though, has been reworked, as suggested by Petr Mladek. Instead of using a per-cpu @print_func callback we now keep a per-cpu printk-context variable and call either default or nmi vprintk function depending on its value. printk_nmi_entrer/exit and printk_safe_enter/exit, thus, just set/celar corresponding bits in printk-context functions. The patch only adds printk_safe support, we don't use it yet.

I and Sergey would like to volunteer as printk code maintainers. It is a code that everyone is using, various people fix bugs or even add features but there is nobody really interested into maintaining it. I and Sergey have put a lot of effort into understanding the code and related problems. We are working on solutions for some long term problems. There is a nice summary from the Kernel Summit presentation, see https://lwn.net/Articles/705938/ We have already started to use the gained knowledge and comment on other printk-related patches. The official role should help us to do it more effectively. Our priorities are: + prevent deadlocks (printk_safe patchset, console locks) + prevent softlocks (async printk, console_sem and flushing) + handle other bugs/fixes/features as they come with this in mind: + printk is used in different context + need special care in some modes, e.g. oops, panic, suspend + do best effort to store/show messages + the code is already pretty complicated and twisted; support clean ups; always think hard if a feature/fix is worth any complication Of course, it still will be much appreciated if other people review printk patches. Regarding the workflow. It will be highly appreciated if the patches might still go via Andrew's -mm tree at least for 4.10. In the long term, we would like to make Andrew's life easier and handle printk patches in an own git tree. But we first need to set it up and get familiar with the processes.

The first three patches fix invalidation of exceptional DAX entries (a bug which is there for a long time) - without these patches data loss can occur on power failure even though user called fsync(2).

In commit 62906027 ("mm: add PageWaiters indicating tasks are waiting for a page bit") Nick Piggin made our page locking no longer unconditionally touch the hashed page waitqueue, which not only helps performance in general, but is particularly helpful on NUMA machines where the hashed wait queues can bounce around a lot. However, the "clear lock bit atomically and then test the waiters bit" sequence turns out to be much more expensive than it needs to be, because you get a nasty stall when trying to access the same word that just got updated atomically. On architectures where locking is done with LL/SC, this would be trivial to fix with a new primitive that clears one bit and tests another atomically, but that ends up not working on x86, where the only atomic operations that return the result end up being cmpxchg and xadd. The atomic bit operations return the old value of the same bit we changed, not the value of an unrelated bit. On x86, we could put the lock bit in the high bit of the byte, and use "xadd" with that bit (where the overflow ends up not touching other bits), and look at the other bits of the result. However, an even simpler model is to just use a regular atomic "and" to clear the lock bit, and then the sign bit in eflags will indicate the resulting state of the unrelated bit #7. So by moving the PageWaiters bit up to bit #7, we can atomically clear the lock bit and test the waiters bit on x86 too. And architectures with LL/SC (which is all the usual RISC suspects), the particular bit doesn't matter, so they are fine with this approach too. This avoids the extra access to the same atomic word, and thus avoids the costly stall at page unlock time. The only downside is that the interface ends up being a bit odd and specialized: clear a bit in a byte, and test the sign bit. Nick doesn't love the resulting name of the new primitive, but I'd rather make the name be descriptive and very clear about the limitation imposed by trying to work across all relevant architectures than make it be some generic thing that doesn't make the odd semantics explicit. So this introduces the new architecture primitive clear_bit_unlock_is_negative_byte(); and adds the trivial implementation for x86. We have a generic non-optimized fallback (that just does a "clear_bit()"+"test_bit(7)" combination) which can be overridden by any architecture that can do better. According to Nick, Power has the same hickup x86 has, for example, but some other architectures may not even care. All these optimizations mean that my page locking stress-test (which is just executing a lot of small short-lived shell scripts: "make test" in the git source tree) no longer makes our page locking look horribly bad. Before all these optimizations, just the unlock_page() costs were just over 3% of all CPU overhead on "make test". After this, it's down to 0.66%, so just a quarter of the cost it used to be. (The difference on NUMA is bigger, but there this micro-optimization is likely less noticeable, since the big issue on NUMA was not the accesses to 'struct page', but the waitqueue accesses that were already removed by Nick's earlier commit).

Pull networking fixes from David Miller: 1) Various ipvlan fixes from Eric Dumazet and Mahesh Bandewar. The most important is to not assume the packet is RX just because the destination address matches that of the device. Such an assumption causes problems when an interface is put into loopback mode. 2) If we retry when creating a new tc entry (because we dropped the RTNL mutex in order to load a module, for example) we end up with -EAGAIN and then loop trying to replay the request. But we didn't reset some state when looping back to the top like this, and if another thread meanwhile inserted the same tc entry we were trying to, we re-link it creating an enless loop in the tc chain. Fix from Daniel Borkmann. 3) There are two different WRITE bits in the MDIO address register for the stmmac chip, depending upon the chip variant. Due to a bug we could set them both, fix from Hock Leong Kweh. 4) Fix mlx4 bug in XDP_TX handling, from Tariq Toukan. * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net: net: stmmac: fix incorrect bit set in gmac4 mdio addr register r8169: add support for RTL8168 series add-on card. net: xdp: remove unused bfp_warn_invalid_xdp_buffer() openvswitch: upcall: Fix vlan handling. ipv4: Namespaceify tcp_tw_reuse knob net: korina: Fix NAPI versus resources freeing net, sched: fix soft lockup in tc_classify net/mlx4_en: Fix user prio field in XDP forward tipc: don't send FIN message from connectionless socket ipvlan: fix multicast processing ipvlan: fix various issues in ipvlan_process_multicast()

Networking stack accelerate vlan tag handling by keeping topmost vlan header in skb. This works as long as packet remains in OVS datapath. But during OVS upcall vlan header is pushed on to the packet. When such packet is sent back to OVS datapath, core networking stack might not handle it correctly. Following patch avoids this issue by accelerating the vlan tag during flow key extract. This simplifies datapath by bringing uniform packet processing for packets from all code paths. Fixes: 5108bbad ("openvswitch: add processing of L3 packets").

Now that dax_iomap_fault() calls ->iomap_begin() without entry lock, we can use transaction starting in ext4_iomap_begin() and thus simplify ext4_dax_fault().

Currently ->iomap_begin() handler is called with entry lock held. If the filesystem held any locks between ->iomap_begin() and ->iomap_end() (such as ext4 which will want to hold transaction open), this would cause lock inversion with the iomap_apply() from standard IO path which first calls ->iomap_begin() and only then calls ->actor() callback which grabs entry locks for DAX (if it faults when copying from/to user provided buffers). Fix the problem by nesting grabbing of entry lock inside ->iomap_begin() - ->iomap_end() pair.

The only case when we do not finish the page fault completely is when we are loading hole pages into a radix tree. Avoid this special case and finish the fault in that case as well inside the DAX fault handler. It will allow us for easier iomap handling.

Currently dax_iomap_rw() takes care of invalidating page tables and evicting hole pages from the radix tree when write(2) to the file happens. This invalidation is only necessary when there is some block allocation resulting from write(2). Furthermore in current place the invalidation is racy wrt page fault instantiating a hole page just after we have invalidated it. So perform the page invalidation inside dax_iomap_actor() where we can do it only when really necessary and after blocks have been allocated so nobody will be instantiating new hole pages anymore.

Currently invalidate_inode_pages2_range() and invalidate_mapping_pages() just delete all exceptional radix tree entries they find. For DAX this is not desirable as we track cache dirtiness in these entries and when they are evicted, we may not flush caches although it is necessary. This can for example manifest when we write to the same block both via mmap and via write(2) (to different offsets) and fsync(2) then does not properly flush CPU caches when modification via write(2) was the last one. Create appropriate DAX functions to handle invalidation of DAX entries for invalidate_inode_pages2_range() and invalidate_mapping_pages() and wire them up into the corresponding mm functions.

Shahar reported a soft lockup in tc_classify(), where we run into an endless loop when walking the classifier chain due to tp->next == tp which is a state we should never run into. The issue only seems to trigger under load in the tc control path. What happens is that in tc_ctl_tfilter(), thread A allocates a new tp, initializes it, sets tp_created to 1, and calls into tp->ops->change() with it. In that classifier callback we had to unlock/lock the rtnl mutex and returned with -EAGAIN. One reason why we need to drop there is, for example, that we need to request an action module to be loaded. This happens via tcf_exts_validate() -> tcf_action_init/_1() meaning after we loaded and found the requested action, we need to redo the whole request so we don't race against others. While we had to unlock rtnl in that time, thread B's request was processed next on that CPU. Thread B added a new tp instance successfully to the classifier chain. When thread A returned grabbing the rtnl mutex again, propagating -EAGAIN and destroying its tp instance which never got linked, we goto replay and redo A's request. This time when walking the classifier chain in tc_ctl_tfilter() for checking for existing tp instances we had a priority match and found the tp instance that was created and linked by thread B. Now calling again into tp->ops->change() with that tp was successful and returned without error. tp_created was never cleared in the second round, thus kernel thinks that we need to link it into the classifier chain (once again). tp and *back point to the same object due to the match we had earlier on. Thus for thread B's already public tp, we reset tp->next to tp itself and link it into the chain, which eventually causes the mentioned endless loop in tc_classify() once a packet hits the data path. Fix is to clear tp_created at the beginning of each request, also when we replay it. On the paths that can cause -EAGAIN we already destroy the original tp instance we had and on replay we really need to start from scratch. It seems that this issue was first introduced in commit 12186be7 ("net_cls: fix unconfigured struct tcf_proto keeps chaining and avoid kernel panic when we use cls_cgroup").

I am getting the following warning when I build kernel 4.9-git on my PowerBook G4 with a 32-bit PPC processor: AS arch/powerpc/kernel/misc_32.o arch/powerpc/kernel/misc_32.S:299:7: warning: "CONFIG_FSL_BOOKE" is not defined [-Wundef] This problem is evident after commit 989cea5c ("kbuild: prevent lib-ksyms.o rebuilds"); however, this change in kbuild only exposes an error that has been in the code since 2005 when this source file was created. That was with commit 9994a338 ("powerpc: Introduce entry_{32,64}.S, misc_{32,64}.S, systbl.S"). The offending line does not make a lot of sense. This error does not seem to cause any errors in the executable, thus I am not recommending that it be applied to any stable versions. Thanks to Nicholas Piggin for suggesting this solution.
