2010-09-21ip: fix truesize mismatch in ip fragmentationEric Dumazet
Special care should be taken when slow path is hit in ip_fragment() : When walking through frags, we transfert truesize ownership from skb to frags. Then if we hit a slow_path condition, we must undo this or risk uncharging frags->truesize twice, and in the end, having negative socket sk_wmem_alloc counter, or even freeing socket sooner than expected. Many thanks to Nick Bowler, who provided a very clean bug report and test program. Thanks to Jarek for reviewing my first patch and providing a V2 While Nick bisection pointed to commit 2b85a34e911 (net: No more expensive sock_hold()/sock_put() on each tx), underlying bug is older (2.6.12-rc5) A side effect is to extend work done in commit b2722b1c3a893e (ip_fragment: also adjust skb->truesize for packets not owned by a socket) to ipv6 as well.

2010-09-21sched: Try not to migrate higher priority RT tasksSteven Rostedt
When first working on the RT scheduler design, we concentrated on keeping all CPUs running RT tasks instead of having multiple RT tasks on a single CPU waiting for the migration thread to move them. Instead we take a more proactive stance and push or pull RT tasks from one CPU to another on wakeup or scheduling. When an RT task wakes up on a CPU that is running another RT task, instead of preempting it and killing the cache of the running RT task, we look to see if we can migrate the RT task that is waking up, even if the RT task waking up is of higher priority. This may sound a bit odd, but RT tasks should be limited in migration by the user anyway. But in practice, people do not do this, which causes high prio RT tasks to bounce around the CPUs. This becomes even worse when we have priority inheritance, because a high prio task can block on a lower prio task and boost its priority. When the lower prio task wakes up the high prio task, if it happens to be on the same CPU it will migrate off of it. But in reality, the above does not happen much either, because the wake up of the lower prio task, which has already been boosted, if it was on the same CPU as the higher prio task, it would then migrate off of it. But anyway, we do not want to migrate them either. To examine the scheduling, I created a test program and examined it under kernelshark. The test program created CPU * 2 threads, where each thread had a different priority. The program takes different options. The options used in this change log was to have priority inheritance mutexes or not. All threads did the following loop: static void grab_lock(long id, int iter, int l) { ftrace_write("thread %ld iter %d, taking lock %d\n", id, iter, l); pthread_mutex_lock(&locks[l]); ftrace_write("thread %ld iter %d, took lock %d\n", id, iter, l); busy_loop(nr_tasks - id); ftrace_write("thread %ld iter %d, unlock lock %d\n", id, iter, l); pthread_mutex_unlock(&locks[l]); } void *start_task(void *id) { [...] while (!done) { for (l = 0; l < nr_locks; l++) { grab_lock(id, i, l); ftrace_write("thread %ld iter %d sleeping\n", id, i); ms_sleep(id); } i++; } [...] } The busy_loop(ms) keeps the CPU spinning for ms milliseconds. The ms_sleep(ms) sleeps for ms milliseconds. The ftrace_write() writes to the ftrace buffer to help analyze via ftrace. The higher the id, the higher the prio, the shorter it does the busy loop, but the longer it spins. This is usually the case with RT tasks, the lower priority tasks usually run longer than higher priority tasks. At the end of the test, it records the number of loops each thread took, as well as the number of voluntary preemptions, non-voluntary preemptions, and number of migrations each thread took, taking the information from /proc/$$/sched and /proc/$$/status. Running this on a 4 CPU processor, the results without changes to the kernel looked like this: Task vol nonvol migrated iterations ---- --- ------ -------- ---------- 0: 53 3220 1470 98 1: 562 773 724 98 2: 752 933 1375 98 3: 749 39 697 98 4: 758 5 515 98 5: 764 2 679 99 6: 761 2 535 99 7: 757 3 346 99 total: 5156 4977 6341 787 Each thread regardless of priority migrated a few hundred times. The higher priority tasks, were a little better but still took quite an impact. By letting higher priority tasks bump the lower prio task from the CPU, things changed a bit: Task vol nonvol migrated iterations ---- --- ------ -------- ---------- 0: 37 2835 1937 98 1: 666 1821 1865 98 2: 654 1003 1385 98 3: 664 635 973 99 4: 698 197 352 99 5: 703 101 159 99 6: 708 1 75 99 7: 713 1 2 99 total: 4843 6594 6748 789 The total # of migrations did not change (several runs showed the difference all within the noise). But we now see a dramatic improvement to the higher priority tasks. (kernelshark showed that the watchdog timer bumped the highest priority task to give it the 2 count. This was actually consistent with every run). Notice that the # of iterations did not change either. The above was with priority inheritance mutexes. That is, when the higher prority task blocked on a lower priority task, the lower priority task would inherit the higher priority task (which shows why task 6 was bumped so many times). When not using priority inheritance mutexes, the current kernel shows this: Task vol nonvol migrated iterations ---- --- ------ -------- ---------- 0: 56 3101 1892 95 1: 594 713 937 95 2: 625 188 618 95 3: 628 4 491 96 4: 640 7 468 96 5: 631 2 501 96 6: 641 1 466 96 7: 643 2 497 96 total: 4458 4018 5870 765 Not much changed with or without priority inheritance mutexes. But if we let the high priority task bump lower priority tasks on wakeup we see: Task vol nonvol migrated iterations ---- --- ------ -------- ---------- 0: 115 3439 2782 98 1: 633 1354 1583 99 2: 652 919 1218 99 3: 645 713 934 99 4: 690 3 3 99 5: 694 1 4 99 6: 720 3 4 99 7: 747 0 1 100 Which shows a even bigger change. The big difference between task 3 and task 4 is because we have only 4 CPUs on the machine, causing the 4 highest prio tasks to always have preference. Although I did not measure cache misses, and I'm sure there would be little to measure since the test was not data intensive, I could imagine large improvements for higher priority tasks when dealing with lower priority tasks. Thus, I'm satisfied with making the change and agreeing with what Gregory Haskins argued a few years ago when we first had this discussion. One final note. All tasks in the above tests were RT tasks. Any RT task will always preempt a non RT task that is running on the CPU the RT task wants to run on.

2010-09-21sched: Increment cache_nice_tries only on periodic lbVenkatesh Pallipadi
scheduler uses cache_nice_tries as an indicator to do cache_hot and active load balance, when normal load balance fails. Currently, this value is changed on any failed load balance attempt. That ends up being not so nice to workloads that enter/exit idle often, as they do more frequent new_idle balance and that pretty soon results in cache hot tasks being pulled in. Making the cache_nice_tries ignore failed new_idle balance seems to make better sense. With that only the failed load balance in periodic load balance gets accounted and the rate of accumulation of cache_nice_tries will not depend on idle entry/exit (short running sleep-wakeup kind of tasks). This reduces movement of cache_hot tasks. schedstat diff (after-before) excerpt from a workload that has frequent and short wakeup-idle pattern (:2 in cpu col below refers to NEWIDLE idx) This snapshot was across ~400 seconds.

There's a situation where the nohz balancer will try to wake itself: cpu-x is idle which is also ilb_cpu got a scheduler tick during idle and the nohz_kick_needed() in trigger_load_balance() checks for rq_x->nr_running which might not be zero (because of someone waking a task on this rq etc) and this leads to the situation of the cpu-x sending a kick to itself. And this can cause a lockup. Avoid this by not marking ourself eligible for kicking.

Hence when dev_name() tries to access bdi->dev, it crashes. This problem does not happen if kernel threads are in root group as root group is statically allocated at device initialization time and we don't hit this piece of code. Fix it by delaying the filling of major and minor number information of device in blk_group. Initially a blk_group is created with 0 as device information and this information is filled later once some more IO comes in from same group.

2010-09-21cciss: freeing uninitialized data on error pathDan Carpenter
The "h->scatter_list" is allocated inside a for loop. If any of those allocations fail, then the rest of the list is uninitialized data. When we free it we should start from the top and free backwards so that we don't call kfree() on uninitialized pointers. Also if the allocation for "h->scatter_list" fails then we would get an Oops here. I should have noticed this when I send: 4ee69851c "cciss: handle allocation failure." but I didn't.

2010-09-20sparc64: Fix race in signal instruction flushing.David S. Miller
If another cpu does a very wide munmap() on the signal frame area, it can tear down the page table hierarchy from underneath us. Borrow an idea from the 64-bit fault path's get_user_insn(), and disable cross call interrupts during the page table traversal to lock them in place while we operate.

2010-09-21percpu: fix pcpu_last_unit_cpuTejun Heo
pcpu_first/last_unit_cpu are used to track which cpu has the first and last units assigned. This in turn is used to determine the span of a chunk for man/unmap cache flushes and whether an address belongs to the first chunk or not in per_cpu_ptr_to_phys(). When the number of possible CPUs isn't power of two, a chunk may contain unassigned units towards the end of a chunk. The logic to determine pcpu_last_unit_cpu was incorrect when there was an unused unit at the end of a chunk. It failed to ignore the unused unit and assigned the unused marker NR_CPUS to pcpu_last_unit_cpu. This was discovered through kdump failure which was caused by malfunctioning per_cpu_ptr_to_phys() on a kvm setup with 50 possible CPUs by CAI Qian.

A userspace could submit a buffer with 0 length to be written to the host. Prevent such a situation. This was not needed previously, but recent changes in the way write() works exposed this condition to trigger a virtqueue event to the host, causing a NULL buffer to be sent across.

2010-09-21virtio: console: Fix poll blocking even though there is data to readHans de Goede
I found this while working on a Linux agent for spice, the symptom I was seeing was select blocking on the spice vdagent virtio serial port even though there were messages queued up there. virtio_console's port_fops_poll checks port->inbuf != NULL to determine if read won't block. However if an application reads enough bytes from inbuf through port_fops_read, to empty the current port->inbuf, port->inbuf will be NULL even though there may be buffers left in the virtqueue. This causes poll() to block even though there is data to be read, this patch fixes this by using will_read_block(port) instead of the port->inbuf != NULL check.

2010-09-20Staging: vt6655: fix buffer overflowDan Carpenter
"param->u.wpa_associate.wpa_ie_len" comes from the user. We should check it so that the copy_from_user() doesn't overflow the buffer. Also further down in the function, we assume that if "param->u.wpa_associate.wpa_ie_len" is set then "abyWPAIE[0]" is initialized. To make that work, I changed the test here to say that if "wpa_ie_len" is set then "wpa_ie" has to be a valid pointer or we return -EINVAL. Oddly, we only use the first element of the abyWPAIE[] array. So I suspect there may be some other issues in this function.

This reverts commit 96d592ed599434d2d5f339a1d282871bc6377d2c. The netfilter hook seems to be misused and may leak skbs in situations when NF_HOOK returns NF_STOLEN. It may not filter everything as expected. Also the ethernet bridge tables are not yet capable to understand batman-adv packet correctly. It was only added for testing purposes and can be removed again.
