2020-03-21x86/mm: split vmalloc_sync_all()Joerg Roedel
Commit 3f8fd02b1bf1 ("mm/vmalloc: Sync unmappings in __purge_vmap_area_lazy()") introduced a call to vmalloc_sync_all() in the vunmap() code-path. While this change was necessary to maintain correctness on x86-32-pae kernels, it also adds additional cycles for architectures that don't need it. Specifically on x86-64 with CONFIG_VMAP_STACK=y some people reported severe performance regressions in micro-benchmarks because it now also calls the x86-64 implementation of vmalloc_sync_all() on vunmap(). But the vmalloc_sync_all() implementation on x86-64 is only needed for newly created mappings. To avoid the unnecessary work on x86-64 and to gain the performance back, split up vmalloc_sync_all() into two functions: * vmalloc_sync_mappings(), and * vmalloc_sync_unmappings() Most call-sites to vmalloc_sync_all() only care about new mappings being synchronized. The only exception is the new call-site added in the above mentioned commit. Shile Zhang directed us to a report of an 80% regression in reaim throughput.

2019-12-04kernel/notifier.c: intercept duplicate registrations to avoid infinite loopsXiaoming Ni
Registering the same notifier to a hook repeatedly can cause the hook list to form a ring or lose other members of the list. case1: An infinite loop in notifier_chain_register() can cause soft lockup atomic_notifier_chain_register(&test_notifier_list, &test1); atomic_notifier_chain_register(&test_notifier_list, &test1); atomic_notifier_chain_register(&test_notifier_list, &test2); case2: An infinite loop in notifier_chain_register() can cause soft lockup atomic_notifier_chain_register(&test_notifier_list, &test1); atomic_notifier_chain_register(&test_notifier_list, &test1); atomic_notifier_call_chain(&test_notifier_list, 0, NULL); case3: lose other hook test2 atomic_notifier_chain_register(&test_notifier_list, &test1); atomic_notifier_chain_register(&test_notifier_list, &test2); atomic_notifier_chain_register(&test_notifier_list, &test1); case4: Unregister returns 0, but the hook is still in the linked list, and it is not really registered. If you call notifier_call_chain after ko is unloaded, it will trigger oops. If the system is configured with softlockup_panic and the same hook is repeatedly registered on the panic_notifier_list, it will cause a loop panic.

2019-05-14kernel/notifier.c: double register detectionVasily Averin
By design notifiers can be registerd once only, 2nd register attempt called by mistake silently corrupts notifiers list. A few years ago I investigated described problem, the host was power cycled because of notifier list corruption. I've prepared this patch and applied it to the OpenVZ kernel and sent this patch but nobody commented on it. Later it helped us to detect a similar problem in the OpenVz kernel. Mistakes with notifier registration can happen for example during subsystem initialization from different namespaces, or because of a lost unregister in the roll-back path on initialization failures. The proposed check cannot prevent the described problem, however it allows us to detect its reason quickly without coredump analysis.

2015-01-06rcu: Make SRCU optional by using CONFIG_SRCUPranith Kumar
SRCU is not necessary to be compiled by default in all cases. For tinification efforts not compiling SRCU unless necessary is desirable. The current patch tries to make compiling SRCU optional by introducing a new Kconfig option CONFIG_SRCU which is selected when any of the components making use of SRCU are selected. If we do not select CONFIG_SRCU, srcu.o will not be compiled at all. text data bss dec hex filename 2007 0 0 2007 7d7 kernel/rcu/srcu.o Size of arch/powerpc/boot/zImage changes from text data bss dec hex filename 831552 64180 23944 919676 e087c arch/powerpc/boot/zImage : before 829504 64180 23952 917636 e0084 arch/powerpc/boot/zImage : after so the savings are about ~2000 bytes.
