A recent addition to the DRM tree for 4.7 added 'extern "C"' guards for c++ to all the DRM headers, and that now causes warnings in 'make headers_check': usr/include/drm/amdgpu_drm.h:38: userspace cannot reference function or variable defined in the kernel usr/include/drm/drm.h:63: userspace cannot reference function or variable defined in the kernel usr/include/drm/drm.h:699: userspace cannot reference function or variable defined in the kernel usr/include/drm/drm_fourcc.h:30: userspace cannot reference function or variable defined in the kernel usr/include/drm/drm_mode.h:33: userspace cannot reference function or variable defined in the kernel usr/include/drm/drm_sarea.h:38: userspace cannot reference function or variable defined in the kernel usr/include/drm/exynos_drm.h:21: userspace cannot reference function or variable defined in the kernel usr/include/drm/i810_drm.h:7: userspace cannot reference function or variable defined in the kernel This changes the headers_check.pl script to not warn about this.

coredump_wait waits for mmap_sem for write currently which can prevent oom_reaper to reclaim the oom victims address space asynchronously because that requires mmap_sem for read. This might happen if the oom victim is multi threaded and some thread(s) is holding mmap_sem for read (e.g. page fault) and it is stuck in the page allocator while other thread(s) reached coredump_wait already. This patch simply uses down_write_killable and bails out with EINTR if the lock got interrupted by the fatal signal. do_coredump will return right away and do_group_exit will take care to zap the whole thread group.

load_elf_library doesn't handle vm_brk failure although nothing really indicates it cannot do that because the function is allowed to fail due to vm_mmap failures already. This might be not a problem now but later patch will make vm_brk killable (resp. mmap_sem for write waiting will become killable) and so the failure will be more probable. Signed-off-by:

vm_brk is allowed to fail but load_aout_binary simply ignores the error and happily continues. I haven't noticed any problem from that in real life but later patches will make the failure more likely because vm_brk will become killable (resp. mmap_sem for write waiting will become killable) so we should be more careful now. The error handling should be quite straightforward because there are calls to vm_mmap which check the error properly already. The only notable exception is set_brk which is called after beyond_if label. But nothing indicates that we cannot move it above set_binfmt as the two do not depend on each other and fail before we do set_binfmt and alter reference counting. Signed-off-by:

Almost all current users of vm_munmap are ignoring the return value and so they do not handle potential error. This means that some VMAs might stay behind. This patch doesn't try to solve those potential problems. Quite contrary it adds a new failure mode by using down_write_killable in vm_munmap. This should be safer than other failure modes, though, because the process is guaranteed to die as soon as it leaves the kernel and exit_mmap will clean the whole address space. This will help in the OOM conditions when the oom victim might be stuck waiting for the mmap_sem for write which in turn can block oom_reaper which relies on the mmap_sem for read to make a forward progress and reclaim the address space of the victim.

All the callers of vm_mmap seem to check for the failure already and bail out in one way or another on the error which means that we can change it to use killable version of vm_mmap_pgoff and return -EINTR if the current task gets killed while waiting for mmap_sem. This also means that vm_mmap_pgoff can be killable by default and drop the additional parameter. This will help in the OOM conditions when the oom victim might be stuck waiting for the mmap_sem for write which in turn can block oom_reaper which relies on the mmap_sem for read to make a forward progress and reclaim the address space of the victim. Please note that load_elf_binary is ignoring vm_mmap error for current->personality & MMAP_PAGE_ZERO case but that shouldn't be a problem because the address is not used anywhere and we never return to the userspace if we got killed.

This is a follow up work for oom_reaper [1]. As the async OOM killing depends on oom_sem for read we would really appreciate if a holder for write didn't stood in the way. This patchset is changing many of down_write calls to be killable to help those cases when the writer is blocked and waiting for readers to release the lock and so help __oom_reap_task to process the oom victim. Most of the patches are really trivial because the lock is help from a shallow syscall paths where we can return EINTR trivially and allow the current task to die (note that EINTR will never get to the userspace as the task has fatal signal pending). Others seem to be easy as well as the callers are already handling fatal errors and bail and return to userspace which should be sufficient to handle the failure gracefully. I am not familiar with all those code paths so a deeper review is really appreciated. As this work is touching more areas which are not directly connected I have tried to keep the CC list as small as possible and people who I believed would be familiar are CCed only to the specific patches (all should have received the cover though). This patchset is based on linux-next and it depends on down_write_killable for rw_semaphores which got merged into tip locking/rwsem branch and it is merged into this next tree. I guess it would be easiest to route these patches via mmotm because of the dependency on the tip tree but if respective maintainers prefer other way I have no objections. I haven't covered all the mmap_write(mm->mmap_sem) instances here $ git grep "down_write(.*\<mmap_sem\>)" next/master | wc -l 98 $ git grep "down_write(.*\<mmap_sem\>)" | wc -l 62 I have tried to cover those which should be relatively easy to review in this series because this alone should be a nice improvement. Other places can be changed on top.

It focuses on the trivial ones which are taking the lock early after entering the syscall and they are not changing state before. Therefore it is very easy to change them to use down_write_killable and immediately return with -EINTR. This will allow the waiter to pass away without blocking the mmap_sem which might be required to make a forward progress. E.g. the oom reaper will need the lock for reading to dismantle the OOM victim address space. The only tricky function in this patch is vm_mmap_pgoff which has many call sites via vm_mmap. To reduce the risk keep vm_mmap with the original non-killable semantic for now. vm_munmap callers do not bother checking the return value so open code it into the munmap syscall path for now for simplicity.

Linux makes use of the Radix Tree data structure to store pointers indexed by integer values. This structure is utilised across many structures in the kernel including the IRQ descriptor tables, and several filesystems. This module provides a method to lookup values from a structure given its head node. Usage: The function lx_radix_tree_lookup, must be given a symbol of type struct radix_tree_root, and an index into that tree. The object returned is a generic integer value, and must be cast correctly to the type based on the storage in the data structure. For example, to print the irq descriptor in the sparse irq_desc_tree at index 18, try the following: (gdb) print (struct irq_desc)$lx_radix_tree_lookup(irq_desc_tree, 18) Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/d2028c55e50cf95a9b7f8ca0d11885174b0cc709.1462865983.git.jan.kiszka@siemens.comSigned-off-by:
