I've seen a fair number of issues with kswapd and other processes
appearing to get stuck in v3.12-rc. Using sysrq-p many times seems to
indicate that it gets stuck somewhere in list_lru_walk_node(), called
from prune_icache_sb() and super_cache_scan().
I never seem to be able to trigger a calltrace for functions above that
point.
So I decided to add the following to super_cache_scan():

Notice that we had a very low number of inodes, which were reduced to
zero my mult_frac().
Now, prune_icache_sb() calls list_lru_walk_node() passing that number of
inodes (0) into that as the number of objects to scan:
long prune_icache_sb(struct super_block *sb, unsigned long nr_to_scan,
int nid)
{
LIST_HEAD(freeable);
long freed;
freed = list_lru_walk_node(&sb->s_inode_lru, nid, inode_lru_isolate,
&freeable, &nr_to_scan);
which does:
unsigned long
list_lru_walk_node(struct list_lru *lru, int nid, list_lru_walk_cb isolate,
void *cb_arg, unsigned long *nr_to_walk)
{
struct list_lru_node *nlru = &lru->node[nid];
struct list_head *item, *n;
unsigned long isolated = 0;
spin_lock(&nlru->lock);
restart:
list_for_each_safe(item, n, &nlru->list) {
enum lru_status ret;
/*
* decrement nr_to_walk first so that we don't livelock if we
* get stuck on large numbesr of LRU_RETRY items
*/
if (--(*nr_to_walk) == 0)
break;
So, if *nr_to_walk was zero when this function was entered, that means
we're wanting to operate on (~0UL)+1 objects - which might as well be
infinite.
Clearly this is not correct behaviour. If we think about the behaviour
of this function when *nr_to_walk is 1, then clearly it's wrong - we
decrement first and then test for zero - which results in us doing
nothing at all. A post-decrement would give the desired behaviour -
we'd try to walk one object and one object only if *nr_to_walk were one.
It also gives the correct behaviour for zero - we exit at this point.

The GIC interrupt offsets are calculated based on the value of NR_CPUS.
However, this is wrong because NR_CPUS may or may not contain the real
number of the actual cpus present in the system. We fix that by using
the 'nr_cpu_ids' variable which contains the real number of cpus in
the system. Previously, an MT core (eg with 8 VPEs) will fail to boot if
NR_CPUS was > 8 with the following errors:

Commit 2dc4128 (ACPI / hotplug / PCI: Avoid doing too much for
spurious notifies) changed the enable_slot() to check return value of
pci_scan_slot() and if it is zero return early from the function. It
means that there were no new devices in this particular slot.
However, if a device appeared deeper in the hierarchy the code now
ignores it causing things like Thunderbolt chaining fail to recognize
new devices.
The problem with Alex Williamson's machine was solved with commit
a47d8c8 (ACPI / hotplug / PCI: Avoid parent bus rescans on spurious
device checks) and hence we should be able to restore the original
functionality that we always rescan on bus check notification.
On a device check notification we still check what acpiphp_rescan_slot()
returns and on zero bail out early.

This reverts commit 9745cdb36da8 (select: use freezable blocking call)
that triggers problems during resume from suspend to RAM on Paul Bolle's
32-bit x86 machines. Paul says:
Ever since I tried running (release candidates of) v3.11 on the two
working i686s I still have lying around I ran into issues on resuming
from suspend. Reverting 9745cdb36da8 (select: use freezable blocking
call) resolves those issues.
Resuming from suspend on i686 on (release candidates of) v3.11 and
later triggers issues like:
traps: systemd[1] general protection ip:b738e490 sp:bf882fc0 error:0 in libc-2.16.so[b731c000+1b0000]
and
traps: rtkit-daemon[552] general protection ip:804d6e5 sp:b6cb32f0 error:0 in rtkit-daemon[8048000+d000]
Once I hit the systemd error I can only get out of the mess that the
system is at that point by power cycling it.
Since we are reverting another freezer-related change causing similar
problems to happen, this one should be reverted as well.

DRM_IOCTL_VERSION is a reliable way to get the driver-name and version
information. It's not related to the interface-version (SET_VERSION ioctl)
so we can safely enable it on render-nodes.
Note that gbm uses udev-BUSID to load the correct mesa driver. However,
the VERSION ioctl should be the more reliable way to do this (in case we
add new DRM-bus drivers which have no BUSID or similar).

Originally I've thought that this is leftover hw state dirt from the
BIOS. But after way too much helpless flailing around on my part I've
noticed that the actual bug is when we change the state of an already
active pipe.
For example when we change the fdi lines from 2 to 3 without switching
off outputs in-between we'll never see the crucial on->off transition
in the ->modeset_global_resources hook the current logic relies on.
Patch version 2 got this right by instead also checking whether the
pipe is indeed active. But that in turn broke things when pipes have
been turned off through dpms since the bifurcate enabling is done in
the ->crtc_mode_set callback.
To address this issues discussed with Ville in the patch review move
the setting of the bifurcate bit into the ->crtc_enable hook. That way
we won't wreak havoc with this state when userspace puts all other
outputs into dpms off state. This also moves us forward with our
overall goal to unify the modeset and dpms on paths (which we need to
have to allow runtime pm in the dpms off state).
Unfortunately this requires us to move the bifurcate helpers around a
bit.
Also update the commit message, I've misanalyzed the bug rather badly.

OK, so what I'm actually seeing on my WSM is that sched/clock.c is
'broken' for the purpose we're using it for.
What triggered it is that my WSM-EP is broken :-(
[ 0.001000] tsc: Fast TSC calibration using PIT
[ 0.002000] tsc: Detected 2533.715 MHz processor
[ 0.500180] TSC synchronization [CPU#0 -> CPU#6]:
[ 0.505197] Measured 3 cycles TSC warp between CPUs, turning off TSC clock.
[ 0.004000] tsc: Marking TSC unstable due to check_tsc_sync_source failed
For some reason it consistently detects TSC skew, even though NHM+
should have a single clock domain for 'reasonable' systems.
This marks sched_clock_stable=0, which means that we do fancy stuff to
try and get a 'sane' clock. Part of this fancy stuff relies on the tick,
clearly that's gone when NOHZ=y. So for idle cpus time gets stuck, until
it either wakes up or gets kicked by another cpu.
While this is perfectly fine for the scheduler -- it only cares about
actually running stuff, and when we're running stuff we're obviously not
idle. This does somewhat break down for perf which can trigger events
just fine on an otherwise idle cpu.
So I've got NMIs get get 'measured' as taking ~1ms, which actually
don't last nearly that long:
<idle>-0 [013] d.h. 886.311970: rcu_nmi_enter <-do_nmi
...
<idle>-0 [013] d.h. 886.311997: perf_sample_event_took: HERE!!! : 1040990
So ftrace (which uses sched_clock(), not the fancy bits) only sees
~27us, but we measure ~1ms !!
Now since all this measurement stuff lives in x86 code, we can actually
fix it.

The PPC64 people noticed a missing memory barrier and crufty old
comments in the perf ring buffer code. So update all the comments and
add the missing barrier.
When the architecture implements local_t using atomic_long_t there
will be double barriers issued; but short of introducing more
conditional barrier primitives this is the best we can do.

A THP PMD update is accounted for as 512 pages updated in vmstat. This is
large difference when estimating the cost of automatic NUMA balancing and
can be misleading when comparing results that had collapsed versus split
THP. This patch addresses the accounting issue.

THP migration uses the page lock to guard against parallel allocations
but there are cases like this still open
Task A Task B
--------------------- ---------------------
do_huge_pmd_numa_page do_huge_pmd_numa_page
lock_page
mpol_misplaced == -1
unlock_page
goto clear_pmdnuma
lock_page
mpol_misplaced == 2
migrate_misplaced_transhuge
pmd = pmd_mknonnuma
set_pmd_at
During hours of testing, one crashed with weird errors and while I have
no direct evidence, I suspect something like the race above happened.
This patch extends the page lock to being held until the pmd_numa is
cleared to prevent migration starting in parallel while the pmd_numa is
being cleared. It also flushes the old pmd entry and orders pagetable
insertion before rmap insertion.

There are three callers of task_numa_fault():
- do_huge_pmd_numa_page():
Accounts against the current node, not the node where the
page resides, unless we migrated, in which case it accounts
against the node we migrated to.
- do_numa_page():
Accounts against the current node, not the node where the
page resides, unless we migrated, in which case it accounts
against the node we migrated to.
- do_pmd_numa_page():
Accounts not at all when the page isn't migrated, otherwise
accounts against the node we migrated towards.
This seems wrong to me; all three sites should have the same
sementaics, furthermore we should accounts against where the page
really is, we already know where the task is.
So modify all three sites to always account; we did after all receive
the fault; and always account to where the page is after migration,
regardless of success.
They all still differ on when they clear the PTE/PMD; ideally that
would get sorted too.

THP migrations are serialised by the page lock but on its own that does
not prevent THP splits. If the page is split during THP migration then
the pmd_same checks will prevent page table corruption but the unlock page
and other fix-ups potentially will cause corruption. This patch takes the
anon_vma lock to prevent parallel splits during migration.

The locking for migrating THP is unusual. While normal page migration
prevents parallel accesses using a migration PTE, THP migration relies on
a combination of the page_table_lock, the page lock and the existance of
the NUMA hinting PTE to guarantee safety but there is a bug in the scheme.
If a THP page is currently being migrated and another thread traps a
fault on the same page it checks if the page is misplaced. If it is not,
then pmd_numa is cleared. The problem is that it checks if the page is
misplaced without holding the page lock meaning that the racing thread
can be migrating the THP when the second thread clears the NUMA bit
and faults a stale page.
This patch checks if the page is potentially being migrated and stalls
using the lock_page if it is potentially being migrated before checking
if the page is misplaced or not.

This isn't a real fix to the problem, but rather a stopgap measure while
trying to find a proper solution.
There are several laptops out there that fail to light up the eDP panel
in UEFI boot mode. They seem to be mostly IVB machines, including but
apparently not limited to Dell XPS 13, Asus TX300, Asus UX31A, Asus
UX32VD, Acer Aspire S7. They seem to work in CSM or legacy boot.
The difference between UEFI and CSM is that the BIOS provides a
different VBT to the kernel. The UEFI VBT typically specifies 18 bpp and
1.62 GHz link for eDP, while CSM VBT has 24 bpp and 2.7 GHz link. We end
up clamping to 18 bpp in UEFI mode, which we can fit in the 1.62 Ghz
link, and for reasons yet unknown fail to light up the panel.
Dithering from 24 to 18 bpp itself seems to work; if we use 18 bpp with
2.7 GHz link, the eDP panel lights up. So essentially this is a link
speed issue, and *not* a bpp clamping issue.
The bug raised its head since
commit 657445fe8660100ad174600ebfa61536392b7624
Author: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch>
Date: Sat May 4 10:09:18 2013 +0200
Revert "drm/i915: revert eDP bpp clamping code changes"
which started clamping bpp *before* computing the link requirements, and
thus affecting the required bandwidth. Clamping after the computations
kept the link at 2.7 GHz.
Even though the BIOS tells us to use 18 bpp through the VBT, it happily
boots up at 24 bpp and 2.7 GHz itself! Use this information to
selectively ignore the VBT provided value.
We can't ignore the VBT eDP bpp altogether, as there are other laptops
that do require the clamping to be used due to EDID reporting higher bpp
than the panel can support.
