* A multiplication for the size determination of a memory allocation
indicated that an array data structure should be processed.
Thus use the corresponding function "kcalloc".
This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
* Replace the specification of a data structure by a pointer dereference
to make the corresponding size determination a bit safer according to
the Linux coding style convention.

A previous patch which claimed to remove off by ones actually introduced
them.
strlen() returns the length of the string not including the NUL
character. We are using strcpy() to copy "name" into a buffer which is
ORANGEFS_MAX_XATTR_NAMELEN characters long. We should make sure to
leave space for the NUL, otherwise we're writing one character beyond
the end of the buffer.

posix_acl_update_mode checks to see if the permissions
described by the ACL can be encoded into the
object's mode. If so, it sets "acl" to NULL
and "mode" to the new desired value. Prior to this patch
we failed to actually propagate the new mode back to the
server.

When new directory 'DIR1' is created in a directory 'DIR0' with SGID bit
set, DIR1 is expected to have SGID bit set (and owning group equal to
the owning group of 'DIR0'). However when 'DIR0' also has some default
ACLs that 'DIR1' inherits, setting these ACLs will result in SGID bit on
'DIR1' to get cleared if user is not member of the owning group.
Fix the problem by creating __orangefs_set_acl() function that does not
call posix_acl_update_mode() and use it when inheriting ACLs. That
prevents SGID bit clearing and the mode has been properly set by
posix_acl_create() anyway.

Several users have complained that the tile table update broke Oland
support. Despite several attempts to fix it, the root cause is still
unknown at this point and no solution is available. As it is not
acceptable to leave a known regression breaking a major functionality
in the kernel for several releases, let's just reverse this
optimization for now. It can be implemented again later if and only
if the breakage is understood and fixed.
As there were no complaints for Hainan so far, only the Oland part of
the offending commit is reverted. Optimization is preserved on
Hainan, so this commit isn't an actual revert of the original.
This fixes bug #194761:

Now that we have added breaks in the wait queue scan and allow bookmark
on scan position, we put this logic in the wake_up_page_bit function.
We can have very long page wait list in large system where multiple
pages share the same wait list. We break the wake up walk here to allow
other cpus a chance to access the list, and not to disable the interrupts
when traversing the list for too long. This reduces the interrupt and
rescheduling latency, and excessive page wait queue lock hold time.

We encountered workloads that have very long wake up list on large
systems. A waker takes a long time to traverse the entire wake list and
execute all the wake functions.
We saw page wait list that are up to 3700+ entries long in tests of
large 4 and 8 socket systems. It took 0.8 sec to traverse such list
during wake up. Any other CPU that contends for the list spin lock will
spin for a long time. It is a result of the numa balancing migration of
hot pages that are shared by many threads.
Multiple CPUs waking are queued up behind the lock, and the last one
queued has to wait until all CPUs did all the wakeups.
The page wait list is traversed with interrupt disabled, which caused
various problems. This was the original cause that triggered the NMI
watch dog timer in: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9800303/ . Only
extending the NMI watch dog timer there helped.
This patch bookmarks the waker's scan position in wake list and break
the wake up walk, to allow access to the list before the waker resume
its walk down the rest of the wait list. It lowers the interrupt and
rescheduling latency.
This patch also provides a performance boost when combined with the next
patch to break up page wakeup list walk. We saw 22% improvement in the
will-it-scale file pread2 test on a Xeon Phi system running 256 threads.
[ v2: Merged in Linus' changes to remove the bookmark_wake_function, and
simply access to flags. ]

The watchdog tries to create perf events even after it figured out that
perf is not functional or the requested event is not supported.
That's braindead as this can be done once at init time and if not supported
the NMI watchdog can be turned off unconditonally.
Implement the perf hardlockup detector functionality for that. This creates
a new event create function, which will replace the unholy mess of the
existing one in later patches.

The lockup detector reconfiguration tears down all watchdog threads when
the watchdog is disabled and sets them up again when its enabled.
That's a pointless exercise. The watchdog threads are not consuming an
insane amount of resources, so it's enough to set them up at init time and
keep them in parked position when the watchdog is disabled and unpark them
when it is reenabled. The smpboot thread infrastructure takes care of
keeping the force parked threads in place even across cpu hotplug.
Aside of that the code implements the park/unpark facility of smp hotplug
threads on its own, which is even more pointless. We have functionality in
the smpboot thread code to do so.
Use the new thread management functions and get rid of the unholy mess.

keep them in parked position when the watchdog is disabled and unpark them
when it is reenabled. The smpboot thread infrastructure takes care of
keeping the force parked threads in place even across cpu hotplug.
Another horrible mechanism are the open coded park/unpark loops which are
used for reconfiguration of the watchdog. The smpboot infrastructure allows
exactly the same via smpboot_update_cpumask_thread_percpu(), which is cpu
hotplug safe. Using that instead of the open coded loops allows to get rid
of the hotplug locking mess in the watchdog code.
Implement a clean infrastructure which allows to replace the open coded
nonsense.

smpboot_update_cpumask_threads_percpu() allocates a temporary cpumask at
runtime. This is suboptimal because the call site needs more code size for
proper error handling than a statically allocated temporary mask requires
data size.
Add static temporary cpumask. The function is globaly serialized, so no
further protection required.
Remove the half baken error handling in the watchdog code and get rid of
the export as there are no in tree modular users of that function.

Commit:
b94f51183b06 ("kernel/watchdog: prevent false hardlockup on overloaded system")
tries to fix the following issue:
proc_write()
set_sample_period() <--- New sample period becoms visible
<----- Broken starts
proc_watchdog_update()
watchdog_enable_all_cpus() watchdog_hrtimer_fn()
update_watchdog_all_cpus() restart_timer(sample_period)
watchdog_park_threads()
thread->park()
disable_nmi()
<----- Broken ends
The reason why this is broken is that the update of the watchdog threshold
becomes immediately effective and visible for the hrtimer function which
uses that value to rearm the timer. But the NMI/perf side still uses the
old value up to the point where it is disabled. If the rate has been
lowered then the NMI can run fast enough to 'detect' a hard lockup because
the timer has not fired due to the longer period.
The patch 'fixed' this by adding a variable:
proc_write()
set_sample_period()
<----- Broken starts
proc_watchdog_update()
watchdog_enable_all_cpus() watchdog_hrtimer_fn()
update_watchdog_all_cpus() restart_timer(sample_period)
watchdog_park_threads()
park_in_progress = 1
<----- Broken ends
nmi_watchdog()
if (park_in_progress)
return;
The only effect of this variable was to make the window where the breakage
can hit small enough that it was not longer observable in testing. From a
correctness point of view it is a pointless bandaid which merily papers
over the root cause: the unsychronized update of the variable.
Looking deeper into the related code pathes unearthed similar problems in
the watchdog_start()/stop() functions.
watchdog_start()
perf_nmi_event_start()
hrtimer_start()
watchdog_stop()
hrtimer_cancel()
perf_nmi_event_stop()
In both cases the call order is wrong because if the tasks gets preempted
or the VM gets scheduled out long enough after the first call, then there is
a chance that the next NMI will see a stale hrtimer interrupt count and
trigger a false positive hard lockup splat.
Get rid of park_in_progress so the code can be gradually deobfuscated and
pruned from several layers of duct tape papering over the root cause,
which has been either ignored or not understood at all.
Once this is removed the underlying problem will be fixed by rewriting the
proc interface to do a proper synchronized update.
Address the start/stop() ordering problem as well by reverting the call
order, so this part is at least correct now.

The following deadlock is possible in the watchdog hotplug code:
cpus_write_lock()
...
takedown_cpu()
smpboot_park_threads()
smpboot_park_thread()
kthread_park()
->park() := watchdog_disable()
watchdog_nmi_disable()
perf_event_release_kernel();
put_event()
_free_event()
->destroy() := hw_perf_event_destroy()
x86_release_hardware()
release_ds_buffers()
get_online_cpus()
when a per cpu watchdog perf event is destroyed which drops the last
reference to the PMU hardware. The cleanup code there invokes
get_online_cpus() which instantly deadlocks because the hotplug percpu
rwsem is write locked.
To solve this add a deferring mechanism:
cpus_write_lock()
kthread_park()
watchdog_nmi_disable(deferred)
perf_event_disable(event);
move_event_to_deferred(event);
....
cpus_write_unlock()
cleaup_deferred_events()
perf_event_release_kernel()
This is still properly serialized against concurrent hotplug via the
cpu_add_remove_lock, which is held by the task which initiated the hotplug
event.
This is also used to handle event destruction when the watchdog threads are
parked via other mechanisms than CPU hotplug.

The self disabling feature is broken vs. CPU hotplug locking:
CPU 0 CPU 1
cpus_write_lock();
cpu_up(1)
wait_for_completion()
....
unpark_watchdog()
->unpark()
perf_event_create() <- fails
watchdog_enable &= ~NMI_WATCHDOG;
....
cpus_write_unlock();
CPU 2
cpus_write_lock()
cpu_down(2)
wait_for_completion()
wakeup(watchdog);
watchdog()
if (!(watchdog_enable & NMI_WATCHDOG))
watchdog_nmi_disable()
perf_event_disable()
....
cpus_read_lock();
stop_smpboot_threads()
park_watchdog();
wait_for_completion(watchdog->parked);
Result: End of hotplug and instantaneous full lockup of the machine.
There is a similar problem with disabling the watchdog via the user space
interface as the sysctl function fiddles with watchdog_enable directly.
It's very debatable whether this is required at all. If the watchdog works
nicely on N CPUs and it fails to enable on the N + 1 CPU either during
hotplug or because the user space interface disabled it via sysctl cpumask
and then some perf user grabbed the counter which is then unavailable for
the watchdog when the sysctl cpumask gets changed back.
There is no real justification for this.
One of the reasons WHY this is done is the utter stupidity of the init code
of the perf NMI watchdog. Instead of checking upfront at boot whether PERF
is available and functional at all, it just does this check at run time
over and over when user space fiddles with the sysctl. That's broken beyond
repair along with the idiotic error code dependent warn level printks and
the even more silly printk rate limiting.
If the init code checks whether perf works at boot time, then this mess can
be more or less avoided completely. Perf does not come magically into life
at runtime. Brain usage while coding is overrated.
Remove the cruft and add a temporary safe guard which gets removed later.

This interface has several issues:
- It's causing recursive locking of the hotplug lock.
- It's complete overkill to teardown all threads and then recreate them
The same can be achieved with the simple hardlockup_detector_perf_stop /
restart() interfaces. The abuse from the busy looping poweroff() loop of
PARISC has been solved as well.
