2009-02-13net: don't use in_atomic() in gfp_any()Andrew Morton
The problem is that in_atomic() will return false inside spinlocks if CONFIG_PREEMPT=n. This will lead to deadlockable GFP_KERNEL allocations from spinlocked regions. Secondly, if CONFIG_PREEMPT=y, this bug solves itself because networking will instead use GFP_ATOMIC from this callsite. Hence we won't get the might_sleep() debugging warnings which would have informed us of the buggy callsites. Solve both these problems by switching to in_interrupt(). Now, if someone runs a gfp_any() allocation from inside spinlock we will get the warning if CONFIG_PREEMPT=y. I reviewed all callsites and most of them were too complex for my little brain and none of them documented their interface requirements. I have no idea what this patch will do.

2009-02-11syscall define: fix uml compile bugHeiko Carstens
With the new system call defines we get this on uml: arch/um/sys-i386/built-in.o: In function `sys_call_table': (.rodata+0x308): undefined reference to `sys_sigprocmask' Reason for this is that uml passes the preprocessor option -Dsigprocmask=kernel_sigprocmask to gcc when compiling the kernel. This causes SYSCALL_DEFINE3(sigprocmask, ...) to be expanded to SYSCALL_DEFINEx(3, kernel_sigprocmask, ...) and finally to a system call named sys_kernel_sigprocmask. However sys_sigprocmask is missing because of this. To avoid macro expansion for the system call name just concatenate the name at first define instead of carrying it through severel levels. This was pointed out by Al Viro.

I enabled all cgroup subsystems when compiling kernel, and then: # mount -t cgroup -o net_cls xxx /mnt # mkdir /mnt/0 This showed up immediately: BUG: MAX_LOCKDEP_SUBCLASSES too low! turning off the locking correctness validator. It's caused by the cgroup hierarchy lock: for (i = 0; i < CGROUP_SUBSYS_COUNT; i++) { struct cgroup_subsys *ss = subsys[i]; if (ss->root == root) mutex_lock_nested(&ss->hierarchy_mutex, i); } Now we have 9 cgroup subsystems, and the above 'i' for net_cls is 8, but MAX_LOCKDEP_SUBCLASSES is 8. This patch uses different lockdep keys for different subsystems.

2009-02-11x86, ptrace, mm: fix double-free on raceMarkus Metzger
Ptrace_detach() races with __ptrace_unlink() if the traced task is reaped while detaching. This might cause a double-free of the BTS buffer. Change the ptrace_detach() path to only do the memory accounting in ptrace_bts_detach() and leave the buffer free to ptrace_bts_untrace() which will be called from __ptrace_unlink().

2009-02-10Do not account for the address space used by hugetlbfs using VM_ACCOUNTMel Gorman
When overcommit is disabled, the core VM accounts for pages used by anonymous shared, private mappings and special mappings. It keeps track of VMAs that should be accounted for with VM_ACCOUNT and VMAs that never had a reserve with VM_NORESERVE. Overcommit for hugetlbfs is much riskier than overcommit for base pages due to contiguity requirements. It avoids overcommiting on both shared and private mappings using reservation counters that are checked and updated during mmap(). This ensures (within limits) that hugepages exist in the future when faults occurs or it is too easy to applications to be SIGKILLed. As hugetlbfs makes its own reservations of a different unit to the base page size, VM_ACCOUNT should never be set. Even if the units were correct, we would double account for the usage in the core VM and hugetlbfs. VM_NORESERVE may be set because an application can request no reserves be made for hugetlbfs at the risk of getting killed later. With commit fc8744adc870a8d4366908221508bb113d8b72ee, VM_NORESERVE and VM_ACCOUNT are getting unconditionally set for hugetlbfs-backed mappings. This breaks the accounting for both the core VM and hugetlbfs, can trigger an OOM storm when hugepage pools are too small lockups and corrupted counters otherwise are used. This patch brings hugetlbfs more in line with how the core VM treats VM_NORESERVE but prevents VM_ACCOUNT being set.

2009-02-05wait: prevent exclusive waiter starvationJohannes Weiner
With exclusive waiters, every process woken up through the wait queue must ensure that the next waiter down the line is woken when it has finished. Interruptible waiters don't do that when aborting due to a signal. And if an aborting waiter is concurrently woken up through the waitqueue, noone will ever wake up the next waiter. This has been observed with __wait_on_bit_lock() used by lock_page_killable(): the first contender on the queue was aborting when the actual lock holder woke it up concurrently. The aborted contender didn't acquire the lock and therefor never did an unlock followed by waking up the next waiter. Add abort_exclusive_wait() which removes the process' wait descriptor from the waitqueue, iff still queued, or wakes up the next waiter otherwise. It does so under the waitqueue lock. Racing with a wake up means the aborting process is either already woken (removed from the queue) and will wake up the next waiter, or it will remove itself from the queue and the concurrent wake up will apply to the next waiter after it. Use abort_exclusive_wait() in __wait_event_interruptible_exclusive() and __wait_on_bit_lock() when they were interrupted by other means than a wake up through the queue.

2009-02-05generic swap(): don't return a value from swap()Peter Zijlstra
The swap() macro is accidentally retuning the value of its first argument. Change it into a doesn't-return-anything macro before someone goes and relies upon this behaviour.

2009-02-05timers: split process wide cpu clocks/timersPeter Zijlstra
Change the process wide cpu timers/clocks so that we: 1) don't mess up the kernel with too many threads, 2) don't have a per-cpu allocation for each process, 3) have no impact when not used. In order to accomplish this we're going to split it into two parts: - clocks; which can take all the time they want since they run from user context -- ie. sys_clock_gettime(CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID) - timers; which need constant time sampling but since they're explicity used, the user can pay the overhead. The clock readout will go back to a full sum of the thread group, while the timers will run of a global 'clock' that only runs when needed, so only programs that make use of the facility pay the price.

2009-02-05signal: re-add dead task accumulation stats.Peter Zijlstra
We're going to split the process wide cpu accounting into two parts: - clocks; which can take all the time they want since they run from user context. - timers; which need constant time tracing but can affort the overhead because they're default off -- and rare. The clock readout will go back to a full sum of the thread group, for this we need to re-add the exit stats that were removed in the initial itimer rework (f06febc9: timers: fix itimer/many thread hang). Furthermore, since that full sum can be rather slow for large thread groups and we have the complete dead task stats, revert the do_notify_parent time computation.

2009-02-05crypto: shash - Fix tfm destructionHerbert Xu
We were freeing an offset into the slab object instead of the start. This patch fixes it by calling crypto_destroy_tfm which allows the correct address to be given. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
