2012-02-28perf/hwbp: Fix a possible memory leakNamhyung Kim
If kzalloc() for TYPE_DATA failed on a given cpu, previous chunk of TYPE_INST will be leaked. Fix it. Thanks to Peter Zijlstra for suggesting this better solution. It should work as long as the initial value of the region is all 0's and that's the case of static (per-cpu) memory allocation.

2012-02-27CPU hotplug, cpusets, suspend: Don't touch cpusets during suspend/resumeSrivatsa S. Bhat
Currently, during CPU hotplug, the cpuset callbacks modify the cpusets to reflect the state of the system, and this handling is asymmetric. That is, upon CPU offline, that CPU is removed from all cpusets. However when it comes back online, it is put back only to the root cpuset. This gives rise to a significant problem during suspend/resume. During suspend, we offline all non-boot cpus and during resume we online them back. Which means, after a resume, all cpusets (except the root cpuset) will be restricted to just one single CPU (the boot cpu). But the whole point of suspend/resume is to restore the system to a state which is as close as possible to how it was before suspend. So to fix this, don't touch cpusets during suspend/resume. That is, modify the cpuset-related CPU hotplug callback to just ignore CPU hotplug when it is initiated as part of the suspend/resume sequence.

2012-02-24epoll: introduce POLLFREE to flush ->signalfd_wqh before kfree()Oleg Nesterov
This patch is intentionally incomplete to simplify the review. It ignores ep_unregister_pollwait() which plays with the same wqh. See the next change. epoll assumes that the EPOLL_CTL_ADD'ed file controls everything f_op->poll() needs. In particular it assumes that the wait queue can't go away until eventpoll_release(). This is not true in case of signalfd, the task which does EPOLL_CTL_ADD uses its ->sighand which is not connected to the file. This patch adds the special event, POLLFREE, currently only for epoll. It expects that init_poll_funcptr()'ed hook should do the necessary cleanup. Perhaps it should be defined as EPOLLFREE in eventpoll. __cleanup_sighand() is changed to do wake_up_poll(POLLFREE) if ->signalfd_wqh is not empty, we add the new signalfd_cleanup() helper. ep_poll_callback(POLLFREE) simply does list_del_init(task_list). This make this poll entry inconsistent, but we don't care. If you share epoll fd which contains our sigfd with another process you should blame yourself. signalfd is "really special". I simply do not know how we can define the "right" semantics if it used with epoll. The main problem is, epoll calls signalfd_poll() once to establish the connection with the wait queue, after that signalfd_poll(NULL) returns the different/inconsistent results depending on who does EPOLL_CTL_MOD/signalfd_read/etc. IOW: apart from sigmask, signalfd has nothing to do with the file, it works with the current thread. In short: this patch is the hack which tries to fix the symptoms. It also assumes that nobody can take tasklist_lock under epoll locks, this seems to be true. Note: - we do not have wake_up_all_poll() but wake_up_poll() is fine, poll/epoll doesn't use WQ_FLAG_EXCLUSIVE. - signalfd_cleanup() uses POLLHUP along with POLLFREE, we need a couple of simple changes in eventpoll.c to make sure it can't be "lost".

2012-02-22sched/events: Revert trace_sched_stat_sleeptime()Peter Zijlstra
Commit 1ac9bc69 ("sched/tracing: Add a new tracepoint for sleeptime") added a new sched:sched_stat_sleeptime tracepoint. It's broken: the first sample we get on a task might be bad because of a stale sleep_start value that wasn't reset at the last task switch because the tracepoint was not active. It also breaks the existing schedstat samples due to the side effects of: - se->statistics.sleep_start = 0; ... - se->statistics.block_start = 0; Nor do I see means to fix it without adding overhead to the scheduler fast path, which I'm not willing to for the sake of redundant instrumentation. Most importantly, sleep time information can already be constructed by tracing context switches and wakeups, and taking the timestamp difference between the schedule-out, the wakeup and the schedule-in.

2012-02-15genirq: Handle pending irqs in irq_startup()Thomas Gleixner
An interrupt might be pending when irq_startup() is called, but the startup code does not invoke the resend logic. In some cases this prevents the device from issuing another interrupt which renders the device non functional. Call the resend function in irq_startup() to keep things going.

2012-02-15genirq: Unmask oneshot irqs when thread was not wokenThomas Gleixner
When the primary handler of an interrupt which is marked IRQ_ONESHOT returns IRQ_HANDLED or IRQ_NONE, then the interrupt thread is not woken and the unmask logic of the interrupt line is never invoked. This keeps the interrupt masked forever. This was not noticed as most IRQ_ONESHOT users wake the thread unconditionally (usually because they cannot access the underlying device from hard interrupt context). Though this behaviour was nowhere documented and not necessarily intentional. Some drivers can avoid the thread wakeup in certain cases and run into the situation where the interrupt line s kept masked. Handle it gracefully.

2012-02-07perf: Fix double start/stop in x86_pmu_start()Stephane Eranian
The following patch fixes a bug introduced by the following commit: e050e3f0a71b ("perf: Fix broken interrupt rate throttling") The patch caused the following warning to pop up depending on the sampling frequency adjustments: ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: at arch/x86/kernel/cpu/perf_event.c:995 x86_pmu_start+0x79/0xd4() It was caused by the following call sequence: perf_adjust_freq_unthr_context.part() { stop() if (delta > 0) { perf_adjust_period() { if (period > 8*...) { stop() ... start() } } } start() } Which caused a double start and a double stop, thus triggering the assert in x86_pmu_start(). The patch fixes the problem by avoiding the double calls. We pass a new argument to perf_adjust_period() to indicate whether or not the event is already stopped. We can't just remove the start/stop from that function because it's called from __perf_event_overflow where the event needs to be reloaded via a stop/start back-toback call. The patch reintroduces the assertion in x86_pmu_start() which was removed by commit: 84f2b9b ("perf: Remove deprecated WARN_ON_ONCE()") In this second version, we've added calls to disable/enable PMU during unthrottling or frequency adjustment based on bug report of spurious NMI interrupts from Eric Dumazet.

2012-02-07block: strip out locking optimization in put_io_context()Tejun Heo
put_io_context() performed a complex trylock dancing to avoid deferring ioc release to workqueue. It was also broken on UP because trylock was always assumed to succeed which resulted in unbalanced preemption count. While there are ways to fix the UP breakage, even the most pathological microbench (forced ioc allocation and tight fork/exit loop) fails to show any appreciable performance benefit of the optimization. Strip it out. If there turns out to be workloads which are affected by this change, simpler optimization from the discussion thread can be applied later.

2012-02-04PM / Freezer: Thaw only kernel threads if freezing of kernel threads failsSrivatsa S. Bhat
If freezing of kernel threads fails, we are expected to automatically thaw tasks in the error recovery path. However, at times, we encounter situations in which we would like the automatic error recovery path to thaw only the kernel threads, because we want to be able to do some more cleanup before we thaw userspace. Something like: error = freeze_kernel_threads(); if (error) { /* Do some cleanup */ /* Only then thaw userspace tasks*/ thaw_processes(); } An example of such a situation is where we freeze/thaw filesystems during suspend/hibernation. There, if freezing of kernel threads fails, we would like to thaw the frozen filesystems before thawing the userspace tasks. So, modify freeze_kernel_threads() to thaw only kernel threads in case of freezing failure. And change suspend_freeze_processes() accordingly. (At the same time, let us also get rid of the rather cryptic usage of the conditional operator (:?) in that function.) [rjw: In fact, this patch fixes a regression introduced during the 3.3 merge window, because without it thaw_processes() may be called before swsusp_free() in some situations and that may lead to massive memory allocation failures.] Signed-off-by: Srivatsa S.

Commit 2aede851ddf08666f68ffc17be446420e9d2a056 PM / Hibernate: Freeze kernel threads after preallocating memory introduced a mechanism by which kernel threads were frozen after the preallocation of hibernate image memory to avoid problems with frozen kernel threads not responding to memory freeing requests. However, it overlooked the s2disk code path in which the SNAPSHOT_CREATE_IMAGE ioctl was run directly after SNAPSHOT_FREE, which caused freeze_workqueues_begin() to BUG(), because it saw that worqueues had been already frozen. Although in principle this issue might be addressed by removing the relevant BUG_ON() from freeze_workqueues_begin(), that would reintroduce the very problem that commit 2aede851ddf08666f68ffc17be4 attempted to avoid into that particular code path. For this reason, to fix the issue at hand, introduce thaw_kernel_threads() and make the SNAPSHOT_FREE ioctl execute it. Special thanks to Srivatsa S. Bhat for detailed analysis of the problem.

2012-01-27perf: Fix broken interrupt rate throttlingStephane Eranian
This patch fixes the sampling interrupt throttling mechanism. It was broken in v3.2. Events were not being unthrottled. The unthrottling mechanism required that events be checked at each timer tick. This patch solves this problem and also separates: - unthrottling - multiplexing - frequency-mode period adjustments Not all of them need to be executed at each timer tick. This third version of the patch is based on my original patch + PeterZ proposal (https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/1/7/87). At each timer tick, for each context: - if the current CPU has throttled events, we unthrottle events - if context has frequency-based events, we adjust sampling periods - if we have reached the jiffies interval, we multiplex (rotate) We decoupled rotation (multiplexing) from frequency-mode sampling period adjustments. They should not necessarily happen at the same rate. Multiplexing is subject to jiffies_interval (currently at 1 but could be higher once the tunable is exposed via sysfs). We have grouped frequency-mode adjustment and unthrottling into the same routine to minimize code duplication. When throttled while in frequency mode, we scan the events only once. We have fixed the threshold enforcement code in __perf_event_overflow(). There was a bug whereby it would allow more than the authorized rate because an increment of hwc->interrupts was not executed at the right place.

2012-01-27sched: Fix ancient race in do_exit()Yasunori Goto
try_to_wake_up() has a problem which may change status from TASK_DEAD to TASK_RUNNING in race condition with SMI or guest environment of virtual machine. As a result, exited task is scheduled() again and panic occurs. Here is the sequence how it occurs: ----------------------------------+----------------------------- | CPU A | CPU B ----------------------------------+----------------------------- TASK A calls exit().... do_exit() exit_mm() down_read(mm->mmap_sem); rwsem_down_failed_common() set TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE set waiter.task <= task A list_add to sem->wait_list : raw_spin_unlock_irq() (I/O interruption occured) __rwsem_do_wake(mmap_sem) list_del(&waiter->list); waiter->task = NULL wake_up_process(task A) try_to_wake_up() (task is still TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE) p->on_rq is still 1.) ttwu_do_wakeup() (*A) : (I/O interruption handler finished) if (!waiter.task) schedule() is not called due to waiter.task is NULL. tsk->state = TASK_RUNNING : check_preempt_curr(); : task->state = TASK_DEAD (*B) <--- set TASK_RUNNING (*C) schedule() (exit task is running again) BUG_ON() is called! -------------------------------------------------------- The execution time between (*A) and (*B) is usually very short, because the interruption is disabled, and setting TASK_RUNNING at (*C) must be executed before setting TASK_DEAD. HOWEVER, if SMI is interrupted between (*A) and (*B), (*C) is able to execute AFTER setting TASK_DEAD! Then, exited task is scheduled again, and BUG_ON() is called.... If the system works on guest system of virtual machine, the time between (*A) and (*B) may be also long due to scheduling of hypervisor, and same phenomenon can occur. By this patch, do_exit() waits for releasing task->pi_lock which is used in try_to_wake_up(). It guarantees the task becomes TASK_DEAD after waking up.

2012-01-26bugs, x86: Fix printk levels for panic, softlockups and stack dumpsPrarit Bhargava
rsyslog will display KERN_EMERG messages on a connected terminal. However, these messages are useless/undecipherable for a general user. For example, after a softlockup we get: Message from syslogd@intel-s3e37-04 at Jan 25 14:18:06 ... kernel:Stack: Message from syslogd@intel-s3e37-04 at Jan 25 14:18:06 ... kernel:Call Trace: Message from syslogd@intel-s3e37-04 at Jan 25 14:18:06 ... kernel:Code: ff ff a8 08 75 25 31 d2 48 8d 86 38 e0 ff ff 48 89 d1 0f 01 c8 0f ae f0 48 8b 86 38 e0 ff ff a8 08 75 08 b1 01 4c 89 e0 0f 01 c9 <e8> ea 69 dd ff 4c 29 e8 48 89 c7 e8 0f bc da ff 49 89 c4 49 89 This happens because the printk levels for these messages are incorrect. Only an informational message should be displayed on a terminal. I modified the printk levels for various messages in the kernel and tested the output by using the drivers/misc/lkdtm.c kernel modules (ie, softlockups, panics, hard lockups, etc.) and confirmed that the console output was still the same and that the output to the terminals was correct. For example, in the case of a softlockup we now see the much more informative: Message from syslogd@intel-s3e37-04 at Jan 25 10:18:06 ... BUG: soft lockup - CPU4 stuck for 60s! instead of the above confusing messages. AFAICT, the messages no longer have to be KERN_EMERG. In the most important case of a panic we set console_verbose(). As for the other less severe cases the correct data is output to the console and /var/log/messages. Successfully tested by me using the drivers/misc/lkdtm.c module.

2012-01-26sched/nohz: Fix nohz cpu idle load balancing state with cpu hotplugSuresh Siddha
With the recent nohz scheduler changes, rq's nohz flag 'NOHZ_TICK_STOPPED' and its associated state doesn't get cleared immediately after the cpu exits idle. This gets cleared as part of the next tick seen on that cpu. For the cpu offline support, we need to clear this state manually. Fix it by registering a cpu notifier, which clears the nohz idle load balance state for this rq explicitly during the CPU_DYING notification. There won't be any nohz updates for that cpu, after the CPU_DYING notification. But lets be extra paranoid and skip updating the nohz state in the select_nohz_load_balancer() if the cpu is not in active state anymore. Reported-by: Srivatsa S.

2012-01-26sched: Fix rq->nr_uninterruptible update racePeter Zijlstra
KOSAKI Motohiro noticed the following race: > CPU0 CPU1 > -------------------------------------------------------- > deactivate_task() > task->state = TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE; > activate_task() > rq->nr_uninterruptible--; > > schedule() > deactivate_task() > rq->nr_uninterruptible++; > Kosaki-San's scenario is possible when CPU0 runs __sched_setscheduler() against CPU1's current @task. __sched_setscheduler() does a dequeue/enqueue in order to move the task to its new queue (position) to reflect the newly provided scheduling parameters. However it should be completely invariant to nr_uninterruptible accounting, sched_setscheduler() doesn't affect readyness to run, merely policy on when to run. So convert the inappropriate activate/deactivate_task usage to enqueue/dequeue_task, which avoids the nr_uninterruptible accounting. Also convert the two other sites: __migrate_task() and normalize_task() that still use activate/deactivate_task. These sites aren't really a problem since __migrate_task() will only be called on non-running task (and therefore are immume to the described problem) and normalize_task() isn't ever used on regular systems. Also remove the comments from activate/deactivate_task since they're misleading at best.

2012-01-22net: introduce res_counter_charge_nofail() for socket allocationsGlauber Costa
There is a case in __sk_mem_schedule(), where an allocation is beyond the maximum, but yet we are allowed to proceed. It happens under the following condition: sk->sk_wmem_queued + size >= sk->sk_sndbuf The network code won't revert the allocation in this case, meaning that at some point later it'll try to do it. Since this is never communicated to the underlying res_counter code, there is an inbalance in res_counter uncharge operation. I see two ways of fixing this: 1) storing the information about those allocations somewhere in memcg, and then deducting from that first, before we start draining the res_counter, 2) providing a slightly different allocation function for the res_counter, that matches the original behavior of the network code more closely. I decided to go for #2 here, believing it to be more elegant, since #1 would require us to do basically that, but in a more obscure way.
