When running dirop_fileop_racer we found a dead lock case. 2 nodes, say Node A and Node B, mount the same ocfs2 volume. Create /race/16/1 in the filesystem, and let the inode number of dir 16 is less than the inode number of dir race. Node A Node B mv /race/16/1 /race/ right after Node A has got the EX mode of /race/16/, and tries to get EX mode of /race ls /race/16/ In this case, Node A has got the EX mode of /race/16/, and wants to get EX mode of /race/. Node B has got the PR mode of /race/, and wants to get the PR mode of /race/16/. Since EX and PR are mutually exclusive, dead lock happens. This patch fixes this case by locking in ancestor order before trying inode number order.

When a lockres in purge list but is still in use, it should be moved to the tail of purge list. dlm_thread will continue to check next lockres in purge list. However, code list_move_tail(&dlm->purge_list, &lockres->purge) will do *no* movements, so dlm_thread will purge the same lockres in this loop again and again. If it is in use for a long time, other lockres will not be processed.

ocfs2: fix deadlock when two nodes are converting same lock from PR to EX and idletimeout closes conn Orabug: 18639535 Two node cluster and both nodes hold a lock at PR level and both want to convert to EX at the same time. Master node 1 has sent BAST and then closes the connection due to idletime out. Node 0 receives BAST, sends unlock req with cancel flag but gets error -ENOTCONN. The problem is this error is ignored in dlm_send_remote_unlock_request() on the **incorrect** assumption that the master is dead. See NOTE in comment why it returns DLM_NORMAL. Upon getting DLM_NORMAL, node 0 proceeds to sends convert (without cancel flg) which fails with -ENOTCONN. waits 5 sec and resends. This time gets DLM_IVLOCKID from the master since lock not found in grant, it had been moved to converting queue in response to conv PR->EX req. No way out. Node 1 (master) Node 0 ============== ====== lock mode PR PR convert PR -> EX mv grant -> convert and que BAST ... <-------- convert PR -> EX convert que looks like this: ((node 1, PR -> EX) (node 0, PR -> EX)) ... BAST (want PR -> NL) ------------------> ... idle timout, conn closed ... In response to BAST, sends unlock with cancel convert flag gets -ENOTCONN. Ignores and sends remote convert request gets -ENOTCONN, waits 5 Sec, retries ... reconnects <----------------- convert req goes through on next try does not find lock on grant que status DLM_IVLOCKID ------------------> ... No way out. Fix is to keep retrying unlock with cancel flag until it succeeds or the master dies.

There are two files a and b in dir /mnt/ocfs2. node A node B mv a b In ocfs2_rename(), after calling ocfs2_orphan_add(), the inode of file b will be added into orphan dir. If ocfs2_update_entry() fails, ocfs2_rename return error and mv operation fails. But file b still exists in the parent dir. ocfs2_queue_orphan_scan -> ocfs2_queue_recovery_completion -> ocfs2_complete_recovery -> ocfs2_recover_orphans The inode of the file b will be put with iput(). ocfs2_evict_inode -> ocfs2_delete_inode -> ocfs2_wipe_inode -> ocfs2_remove_inode OCFS2_VALID_FL in the inode i_flags will be cleared. The file b still can be accessed on node B. ls /mnt/ocfs2 When first read the file b with ocfs2_read_inode_block(). It will validate the inode using ocfs2_validate_inode_block(). Because OCFS2_VALID_FL not set in the inode i_flags, so the file system will be readonly. So we should add inode into orphan dir after updating entry in ocfs2_rename().

In v2.6.34 commit 9d8cebd4 ("mm: fix mbind vma merge problem") introduced vma merging to mbind(), but it should have also changed the convention of passing start vma from queue_pages_range() (formerly check_range()) to new_vma_page(): vma merging may have already freed that structure, resulting in BUG at mm/mempolicy.c:1738 and probably worse crashes.

Commit b1cb0982 ("change the management method of free objects of the slab") introduced a bug on slab leak detector ('/proc/slab_allocators'). This detector works like as following decription. 1. traverse all objects on all the slabs. 2. determine whether it is active or not. 3. if active, print who allocate this object. but that commit changed the way how to manage free objects, so the logic determining whether it is active or not is also changed. In before, we regard object in cpu caches as inactive one, but, with this commit, we mistakenly regard object in cpu caches as active one. This intoduces kernel oops if DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is enabled. If DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is enabled, kernel_map_pages() is used to detect who corrupt free memory in the slab. It unmaps page table mapping if object is free and map it if object is active. When slab leak detector check object in cpu caches, it mistakenly think this object active so try to access object memory to retrieve caller of allocation. At this point, page table mapping to this object doesn't exist, so oops occurs. Following is oops message reported from Dave. It blew up when something tried to read /proc/slab_allocators (Just cat it, and you should see the oops below) Oops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP DEBUG_PAGEALLOC Modules linked in: [snip...] CPU: 1 PID: 9386 Comm: trinity-c33 Not tainted 3.14.0-rc5+ #131 task: ffff8801aa46e890 ti: ffff880076924000 task.ti: ffff880076924000 RIP: 0010:[<ffffffffaa1a8f4a>] [<ffffffffaa1a8f4a>] handle_slab+0x8a/0x180 RSP: 0018:ffff880076925de0 EFLAGS: 00010002 RAX: 0000000000001000 RBX: 0000000000000000 RCX: 000000005ce85ce7 RDX: ffffea00079be100 RSI: 0000000000001000 RDI: ffff880107458000 RBP: ffff880076925e18 R08: 0000000000000001 R09: 0000000000000000 R10: 0000000000000000 R11: 000000000000000f R12: ffff8801e6f84000 R13: ffffea00079be100 R14: ffff880107458000 R15: ffff88022bb8d2c0 FS: 00007fb769e45740(0000) GS:ffff88024d040000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: ffff8801e6f84ff8 CR3: 00000000a22db000 CR4: 00000000001407e0 DR0: 0000000002695000 DR1: 0000000002695000 DR2: 0000000000000000 DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000fffe0ff0 DR7: 0000000000070602 Call Trace: leaks_show+0xce/0x240 seq_read+0x28e/0x490 proc_reg_read+0x3d/0x80 vfs_read+0x9b/0x160 SyS_read+0x58/0xb0 tracesys+0xd4/0xd9 Code: f5 00 00 00 0f 1f 44 00 00 48 63 c8 44 3b 0c 8a 0f 84 e3 00 00 00 83 c0 01 44 39 c0 72 eb 41 f6 47 1a 01 0f 84 e9 00 00 00 89 f0 <4d> 8b 4c 04 f8 4d 85 c9 0f 84 88 00 00 00 49 8b 7e 08 4d 8d 46 RIP handle_slab+0x8a/0x180 To fix the problem, I introduce an object status buffer on each slab.

Memory overhead caused by this fix is only imposed to CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB_LEAK which is mainly used for debugging, so memory overhead isn't big problem.

Trinity finds that mmap access to a hole while it's punched from shmem can prevent the madvise(MADV_REMOVE) or fallocate(FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE) from completing, until the reader chooses to stop; with the puncher's hold on i_mutex locking out all other writers until it can complete. It appears that the tmpfs fault path is too light in comparison with its hole-punching path, lacking an i_data_sem to obstruct it; but we don't want to slow down the common case. Extend shmem_fallocate()'s existing range notification mechanism, so shmem_fault() can refrain from faulting pages into the hole while it's punched, waiting instead on i_mutex (when safe to sleep; or repeatedly faulting when not).

But they do use a pmdp_clear_flush(), set_pmd_at() sequence which, for an instant (indeed, for a long instant, given the inter-CPU TLB flush in there), leaves *pmd neither present not trans_huge. Which can confuse a concurrent rmap walk, as when removing migration ptes, seen in the dumped trace. Although that rmap walk has a 4k page to insert, anon_vmas containing THPs are in no way segregated from 4k-page anon_vmas, so the 4k-intent mm_find_pmd() does need to cope with that instant when a trans_huge pmd is temporarily absent. I don't think we need strengthen the locking at the THP end: it's easily handled with an ACCESS_ONCE() before testing both conditions. And since mm_find_pmd() had only one caller who wanted a THP rather than a pmd, let's slightly repurpose it to fail when it hits a THP or non-present pmd, and open code split_huge_page_address() again.

Trinity has for over a year been reporting a CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC oops in copy_page_rep() called from copy_user_huge_page() called from do_huge_pmd_wp_page(). I believe this is a DEBUG_PAGEALLOC false positive, due to the source page being split, and a tail page freed, while copy is in progress; and not a problem without DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, since the pmd_same() check will prevent a miscopy from being made visible. Fix by adding get_user_huge_page() and put_user_huge_page(): reducing to the usual get_page() and put_page() on head page in the usual config; but get and put references to all of the tail pages when DEBUG_PAGEALLOC.

A 'softlockup' is defined as a bug that causes the kernel to loop in kernel mode for more than a predefined period to time, without giving other tasks a chance to run. Currently, upon detection of this condition by the per-cpu watchdog task, debug information (including a stack trace) is sent to the system log. On some occasions, we have observed that the "victim" rather than the actual "culprit" (i.e. the owner/holder of the contended resource) is reported to the user. Often this information has proven to be insufficient to assist debugging efforts. To avoid loss of useful debug information, for architectures which support NMI, this patch makes it possible to improve soft lockup reporting. This is accomplished by issuing an NMI to each cpu to obtain a stack trace. If NMI is not supported we just revert back to the old method. A sysctl and boot-time parameter is available to toggle this feature.

Sometimes it is preferred not to use the trigger_all_cpu_backtrace() routine when one wants to avoid capturing a back trace for current. For instance if one was previously captured recently. This patch provides a new routine namely trigger_allbutself_cpu_backtrace() which offers the flexibility to issue an NMI to every cpu but current and capture a back trace accordingly. Patch x86 and sparc to support new routine.

This patch allows the user to write 0 to restore the default behavior. It still requires a fraction equal to or larger than 8, however, as stated by the documentation for sanity. If a value in the range [1, 7] is written, the sysctl will return EINVAL. This successfully solves the divide by zero issue at the same time.

Part of this process involved disabling preemption. Once preemption was disabled, perf tried to allocate a new event (as part of the restart). This caused the above BUG_ON as you can't sleep with preemption disabled. The preemption restriction seemed agressive as we are not doing anything on that particular cpu, but with all the online cpus (which are protected by the get_online_cpus lock). Remove the restriction and the BUG_ON goes away.

There's a race between fork() and hugepage migration, as a result we try to "dereference" a swap entry as a normal pte, causing kernel panic. The cause of the problem is that copy_hugetlb_page_range() can't handle "swap entry" family (migration entry and hwpoisoned entry) so let's fix it.

To allow filtering of huge pages, makedumpfile must be able to identify them in the dump. This can be done by checking the appropriate page flag, so communicate its value to makedumpfile through the VMCOREINFO interface. There's only one small catch. Depending on how many page flags are available on a given architecture, this bit can be called PG_head or PG_compound. I sent a similar patch back in 2012, but Eric Biederman did not like using an #ifdef. So, this time I'm adding a common symbol (PG_head_mask) instead.

There is a race between the CPU offline code (within stop-machine) and the smp-call-function code, which can lead to getting IPIs on the outgoing CPU, *after* it has gone offline. Specifically, this can happen when using smp_call_function_single_async() to send the IPI, since this API allows sending asynchronous IPIs from IRQ disabled contexts. The exact race condition is described below. During CPU offline, in stop-machine, we don't enforce any rule in the _DISABLE_IRQ stage, regarding the order in which the outgoing CPU and the other CPUs disable their local interrupts. Due to this, we can encounter a situation in which an IPI is sent by one of the other CPUs to the outgoing CPU (while it is *still* online), but the outgoing CPU ends up noticing it only *after* it has gone offline. CPU 1 CPU 2 (Online CPU) (CPU going offline) Enter _PREPARE stage Enter _PREPARE stage Enter _DISABLE_IRQ stage = Got a device interrupt, and | Didn't notice the IPI the interrupt handler sent an | since interrupts were IPI to CPU 2 using | disabled on this CPU. smp_call_function_single_async() | = Enter _DISABLE_IRQ stage Enter _RUN stage Enter _RUN stage = Busy loop with interrupts | Invoke take_cpu_down() disabled. | and take CPU 2 offline = Enter _EXIT stage Enter _EXIT stage Re-enable interrupts Re-enable interrupts The pending IPI is noted immediately, but alas, the CPU is offline at this point. This of course, makes the smp-call-function IPI handler code running on CPU 2 unhappy and it complains about "receiving an IPI on an offline CPU". One real example of the scenario on CPU 1 is the block layer's complete-request call-path: __blk_complete_request() [interrupt-handler] raise_blk_irq() smp_call_function_single_async() However, if we look closely, the block layer does check that the target CPU is online before firing the IPI. So in this case, it is actually the unfortunate ordering/timing of events in the stop-machine phase that leads to receiving IPIs after the target CPU has gone offline. In reality, getting a late IPI on an offline CPU is not too bad by itself (this can happen even due to hardware latencies in IPI send-receive). It is a bug only if the target CPU really went offline without executing all the callbacks queued on its list. (Note that a CPU is free to execute its pending smp-call-function callbacks in a batch, without waiting for the corresponding IPIs to arrive for each one of those callbacks). So, fixing this issue can be broken up into two parts: 1. Ensure that a CPU goes offline only after executing all the callbacks queued on it. 2. Modify the warning condition in the smp-call-function IPI handler code such that it warns only if an offline CPU got an IPI *and* that CPU had gone offline with callbacks still pending in its queue. Achieving part 1 is straight-forward - just flush (execute) all the queued callbacks on the outgoing CPU in the CPU_DYING stage[1], including those callbacks for which the source CPU's IPIs might not have been received on the outgoing CPU yet. Once we do this, an IPI that arrives late on the CPU going offline (either due to the race mentioned above, or due to hardware latencies) will be completely harmless, since the outgoing CPU would have executed all the queued callbacks before going offline. Overall, this fix (parts 1 and 2 put together) additionally guarantees that we will see a warning only when the *IPI-sender code* is buggy - that is, if it queues the callback _after_ the target CPU has gone offline. [1]. The CPU_DYING part needs a little more explanation: by the time we execute the CPU_DYING notifier callbacks, the CPU would have already been marked offline. But we want to flush out the pending callbacks at this stage, ignoring the fact that the CPU is offline. So restructure the IPI handler code so that we can by-pass the "is-cpu-offline?" check in this particular case. (Of course, the right solution here is to fix CPU hotplug to mark the CPU offline _after_ invoking the CPU_DYING notifiers, but this requires a lot of audit to ensure that this change doesn't break any existing code; hence lets go with the solution proposed above until that is done).

Pull i2c new drivers from Wolfram Sang: "Here is a pull request from i2c hoping for the "new driver" rule. Originally, I wanted to send this request during the merge window, but code checkers with very recent additions complained, so a few fixups were needed. So, some more time went by and I merged rc1 to get a stable base" So the "new driver" rule is really about drivers that people absolutely need for the kernel to work on new hardware, which is not so much the case for i2c. So I considered not pulling this, but eventually relented. Just for FYI: the whole (and only) point of "new drivers" is not that new drivers cannot regress things (they can, and they have - by triggering badly tested code on machines that never triggered that code before), but because they can bring to life machines that otherwise wouldn't be useful at all without the drivers. So the new driver rule is for essential things that actual consumers would care about, ie devices like networking or disk drivers that matter to normal people (not server people - they run old kernels anyway, so mainlining new drivers is irrelevant for them). * 'i2c/for-next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/wsa/linux: i2c: sun6-p2wi: fix call to snprintf i2c: rk3x: add NULL entry to the end of_device_id array i2c: sun6i-p2wi: use proper return value in probe i2c: sunxi: add P2WI (Push/Pull 2 Wire Interface) controller support i2c: sunxi: add P2WI DT bindings documentation i2c: rk3x: add driver for Rockchip RK3xxx SoC I2C adapter

Pull btrfs fixes from Chris Mason: "This fixes some lockups in btrfs reported with rc1. It probably has some performance impact because it is backing off our spinning locks more often and switching to a blocking lock. I'll be able to nail that down next week, but for now I want to get the lockups taken care of. Otherwise some more stack reduction and assorted fixes" * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mason/linux-btrfs: Btrfs: fix wrong error handle when the device is missing or is not writeable Btrfs: fix deadlock when mounting a degraded fs Btrfs: use bio_endio_nodec instead of open code Btrfs: fix NULL pointer crash when running balance and scrub concurrently btrfs: Skip scrubbing removed chunks to avoid -ENOENT.
