2011-05-09Don't lock guardpage if the stack is growing upMikulas Patocka
Linux kernel excludes guard page when performing mlock on a VMA with down-growing stack. However, some architectures have up-growing stack and locking the guard page should be excluded in this case too. This patch fixes lvm2 on PA-RISC (and possibly other architectures with up-growing stack). lvm2 calculates number of used pages when locking and when unlocking and reports an internal error if the numbers mismatch. [ Patch changed fairly extensively to also fix /proc/<pid>/maps for the grows-up case, and to move things around a bit to clean it all up and share the infrstructure with the /proc bits.

2011-05-06Regression: partial revert "tracing: Remove lock_depth from event entry"Arjan van de Ven
This partially reverts commit e6e1e2593592a8f6f6380496655d8c6f67431266. That commit changed the structure layout of the trace structure, which in turn broke PowerTOP (1.9x generation) quite badly. I appreciate not wanting to expose the variable in question, and PowerTOP was not using it, so I've replaced the variable with just a padding field - that way if in the future a new field is needed it can just use this padding field.

2011-05-04slub: Fix the lockless code on 32-bit platforms with no 64-bit cmpxchgThomas Gleixner
The SLUB allocator use of the cmpxchg_double logic was wrong: it actually needs the irq-safe one. That happens automatically when we use the native unlocked 'cmpxchg8b' instruction, but when compiling the kernel for older x86 CPUs that do not support that instruction, we fall back to the generic emulation code. And if you don't specify that you want the irq-safe version, the generic code ends up just open-coding the cmpxchg8b equivalent without any protection against interrupts or preemption. Which definitely doesn't work for SLUB. This was reported by Werner Landgraf <w.landgraf@ru.ru>, who saw instability with his distro-kernel that was compiled to support pretty much everything under the sun. Most big Linux distributions tend to compile for PPro and later, and would never have noticed this problem. This also fixes the prototypes for the irqsafe cmpxchg_double functions to use 'bool' like they should. [ Btw, that whole "generic code defaults to no protection" design just sounds stupid - if the code needs no protection, there is no reason to use "cmpxchg_double" to begin with. So we should probably just remove the unprotected version entirely as pointless. - Linus ] Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Reported-and-tested-by: werner <w.landgraf@ru.ru> Acked-and-tested-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Acked-by: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux.com> Cc: Pekka Enberg <penberg@kernel.org> Cc: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk> Cc: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/alpine.LFD.2.02.1105041539050.3005@ionos Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2011-04-28mm: thp: fix /dev/zero MAP_PRIVATE and vm_flags cleanupsAndrea Arcangeli
The huge_memory.c THP page fault was allowed to run if vm_ops was null (which would succeed for /dev/zero MAP_PRIVATE, as the f_op->mmap wouldn't setup a special vma->vm_ops and it would fallback to regular anonymous memory) but other THP logics weren't fully activated for vmas with vm_file not NULL (/dev/zero has a not NULL vma->vm_file). So this removes the vm_file checks so that /dev/zero also can safely use THP (the other albeit safer approach to fix this bug would have been to prevent the THP initial page fault to run if vm_file was set). After removing the vm_file checks, this also makes huge_memory.c stricter in khugepaged for the DEBUG_VM=y case. It doesn't replace the vm_file check with a is_pfn_mapping check (but it keeps checking for VM_PFNMAP under VM_BUG_ON) because for a is_cow_mapping() mapping VM_PFNMAP should only be allowed to exist before the first page fault, and in turn when vma->anon_vma is null (so preventing khugepaged registration). So I tend to think the previous comment saying if vm_file was set, VM_PFNMAP might have been set and we could still be registered in khugepaged (despite anon_vma was not NULL to be registered in khugepaged) was too paranoid. The is_linear_pfn_mapping check is also I think superfluous (as described by comment) but under DEBUG_VM it is safe to stay.

2011-04-27NFSv4: Ensure we request the ordinary fileid when doing readdirplusTrond Myklebust
When readdir() returns a directory entry for the root of a mounted filesystem, Linux follows the old convention of returning the inode number of the covered directory (despite newer versions of POSIX declaring that this is a bug). To ensure this continues to work, the NFSv4 readdir implementation requests the 'mounted-on-fileid' from the server. However, readdirplus also needs to instantiate an inode for this entry, and for that, we also need to request the real fileid as per this patch.

2011-04-25ptrace: Prepare to fix racy accesses on task breakpointsFrederic Weisbecker
When a task is traced and is in a stopped state, the tracer may execute a ptrace request to examine the tracee state and get its task struct. Right after, the tracee can be killed and thus its breakpoints released. This can happen concurrently when the tracer is in the middle of reading or modifying these breakpoints, leading to dereferencing a freed pointer. Hence, to prepare the fix, create a generic breakpoint reference holding API. When a reference on the breakpoints of a task is held, the breakpoints won't be released until the last reference is dropped. After that, no more ptrace request on the task's breakpoints can be serviced for the tracer.

2011-04-24vfs: get rid of insane dentry hashing rulesLinus Torvalds
The dentry hashing rules have been really quite complicated for a long while, in odd ways. That made functions like __d_drop() very fragile and non-obvious. In particular, whether a dentry was hashed or not was indicated with an explicit DCACHE_UNHASHED bit. That's despite the fact that the hash abstraction that the dentries use actually have a 'is this entry hashed or not' model (which is a simple test of the 'pprev' pointer). The reason that was done is because we used the normal 'is this entry unhashed' model to mark whether the dentry had _ever_ been hashed in the dentry hash tables, and that logic goes back many years (commit b3423415fbc2: "dcache: avoid RCU for never-hashed dentries"). That, in turn, meant that __d_drop had totally different unhashing logic for the dentry hash table case and for the anonymous dcache case, because in order to use the "is this dentry hashed" logic as a flag for whether it had ever been on the RCU hash table, we had to unhash such a dentry differently so that we'd never think that it wasn't 'unhashed' and wouldn't be free'd correctly. That's just insane. It made the logic really hard to follow, when there were two different kinds of "unhashed" states, and one of them (the one that used "list_bl_unhashed()") really had nothing at all to do with being unhashed per se, but with a very subtle lifetime rule instead. So turn all of it around, and make it logical. Instead of having a DENTRY_UNHASHED bit in d_flags to indicate whether the dentry is on the hash chains or not, use the hash chain unhashed logic for that. Suddenly "d_unhashed()" just uses "list_bl_unhashed()", and everything makes sense. And for the lifetime rule, just use an explicit DENTRY_RCUACCEES bit. If we ever insert the dentry into the dentry hash table so that it is visible to RCU lookup, we mark it DENTRY_RCUACCESS to show that it now needs the RCU lifetime rules. Now suddently that test at dentry free time makes sense too. And because unhashing now is sane and doesn't depend on where the dentry got unhashed from (because the dentry hash chain details doesn't have some subtle side effects), we can re-unify the __d_drop() logic and use common code for the unhashing. Also fix one more open-coded hash chain bit_spin_lock() that I missed in the previous chain locking cleanup commit. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2011-04-19block: get rid of QUEUE_FLAG_REENTERJens Axboe
We are currently using this flag to check whether it's safe to call into ->request_fn(). If it is set, we punt to kblockd. But we get a lot of false positives and excessive punts to kblockd, which hurts performance. The only real abuser of this infrastructure is SCSI. So export the async queue run and convert SCSI over to use that. There's room for improvement in that SCSI need not always use the async call, but this fixes our performance issue and they can fix that up in due time.

If we fail to contact the gss upcall program, then no message will be sent to the server. The client still updated the sequence number, however, and this lead to NFS4ERR_SEQ_MISMATCH for the next several RPC calls.

2011-04-18next_pidmap: fix overflow conditionLinus Torvalds
next_pidmap() just quietly accepted whatever 'last' pid that was passed in, which is not all that safe when one of the users is /proc. Admittedly the proc code should do some sanity checking on the range (and that will be the next commit), but that doesn't mean that the helper functions should just do that pidmap pointer arithmetic without checking the range of its arguments. So clamp 'last' to PID_MAX_LIMIT. The fact that we then do "last+1" doesn't really matter, the for-loop does check against the end of the pidmap array properly (it's only the actual pointer arithmetic overflow case we need to worry about, and going one bit beyond isn't going to overflow).

Instead of overloading __blk_run_queue to force an offload to kblockd add a new blk_run_queue_async helper to do it explicitly. I've kept the blk_queue_stopped check for now, but I suspect it's not needed as the check we do when the workqueue items runs should be enough.

2011-04-18posix clocks: Replace mutex with reader/writer semaphoreRichard Cochran
A dynamic posix clock is protected from asynchronous removal by a mutex. However, using a mutex has the unwanted effect that a long running clock operation in one process will unnecessarily block other processes. For example, one process might call read() to get an external time stamp coming in at one pulse per second. A second process calling clock_gettime would have to wait for almost a whole second. This patch fixes the issue by using a reader/writer semaphore instead of a mutex.
