2013-08-12n_tty: Fix termios_rwsem lockdep false positivePeter Hurley
Lockdep reports a circular lock dependency between atomic_read_lock and termios_rwsem [1]. However, a lock order deadlock is not possible since CPU1 only holds a read lock which cannot prevent CPU0 from also acquiring a read lock on the same r/w semaphore. Unfortunately, lockdep cannot currently distinguish whether the locks are read or write for any particular lock graph, merely that the locks _were_ previously read and/or write. Until lockdep is fixed, re-order atomic_read_lock so termios_rwsem can be dropped and reacquired without triggering lockdep. Patch based on original posted here https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/8/1/510 by Sergey Senozhatsky <sergey.senozhatsky@gmail.com> [1] Initial lockdep report from Artem Savkov <artem.savkov@gmail.com> ====================================================== [ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ] 3.11.0-rc3-next-20130730+ #140 Tainted: G W ------------------------------------------------------- bash/1198 is trying to acquire lock: (&tty->termios_rwsem){++++..}, at: [<ffffffff816aa3bb>] n_tty_read+0x49b/0x660 but task is already holding lock: (&ldata->atomic_read_lock){+.+...}, at: [<ffffffff816aa0f0>] n_tty_read+0x1d0/0x660 which lock already depends on the new lock. the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is: -> #1 (&ldata->atomic_read_lock){+.+...}: [<ffffffff811111cc>] validate_chain+0x73c/0x850 [<ffffffff811117e0>] __lock_acquire+0x500/0x5d0 [<ffffffff81111a29>] lock_acquire+0x179/0x1d0 [<ffffffff81d34b9c>] mutex_lock_interruptible_nested+0x7c/0x540 [<ffffffff816aa0f0>] n_tty_read+0x1d0/0x660 [<ffffffff816a3bb6>] tty_read+0x86/0xf0 [<ffffffff811f21d3>] vfs_read+0xc3/0x130 [<ffffffff811f2702>] SyS_read+0x62/0xa0 [<ffffffff81d45259>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b -> #0 (&tty->termios_rwsem){++++..}: [<ffffffff8111064f>] check_prev_add+0x14f/0x590 [<ffffffff811111cc>] validate_chain+0x73c/0x850 [<ffffffff811117e0>] __lock_acquire+0x500/0x5d0 [<ffffffff81111a29>] lock_acquire+0x179/0x1d0 [<ffffffff81d372c1>] down_read+0x51/0xa0 [<ffffffff816aa3bb>] n_tty_read+0x49b/0x660 [<ffffffff816a3bb6>] tty_read+0x86/0xf0 [<ffffffff811f21d3>] vfs_read+0xc3/0x130 [<ffffffff811f2702>] SyS_read+0x62/0xa0 [<ffffffff81d45259>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b other info that might help us debug this: Possible unsafe locking scenario: CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- lock(&ldata->atomic_read_lock); lock(&tty->termios_rwsem); lock(&ldata->atomic_read_lock); lock(&tty->termios_rwsem); *** DEADLOCK *** 2 locks held by bash/1198: #0: (&tty->ldisc_sem){.+.+.+}, at: [<ffffffff816ade04>] tty_ldisc_ref_wait+0x24/0x60 #1: (&ldata->atomic_read_lock){+.+...}, at: [<ffffffff816aa0f0>] n_tty_read+0x1d0/0x660 stack backtrace: CPU: 1 PID: 1198 Comm: bash Tainted: G W 3.11.0-rc3-next-20130730+ #140 Hardware name: Bochs Bochs, BIOS Bochs 01/01/2007 0000000000000000 ffff880019acdb28 ffffffff81d34074 0000000000000002 0000000000000000 ffff880019acdb78 ffffffff8110ed75 ffff880019acdb98 ffff880019fd0000 ffff880019acdb78 ffff880019fd0638 ffff880019fd0670 Call Trace: [<ffffffff81d34074>] dump_stack+0x59/0x7d [<ffffffff8110ed75>] print_circular_bug+0x105/0x120 [<ffffffff8111064f>] check_prev_add+0x14f/0x590 [<ffffffff81d3ab5f>] ? _raw_spin_unlock_irq+0x4f/0x70 [<ffffffff811111cc>] validate_chain+0x73c/0x850 [<ffffffff8110ae0f>] ? trace_hardirqs_off_caller+0x1f/0x190 [<ffffffff811117e0>] __lock_acquire+0x500/0x5d0 [<ffffffff81111a29>] lock_acquire+0x179/0x1d0 [<ffffffff816aa3bb>] ? n_tty_read+0x49b/0x660 [<ffffffff81d372c1>] down_read+0x51/0xa0 [<ffffffff816aa3bb>] ? n_tty_read+0x49b/0x660 [<ffffffff816aa3bb>] n_tty_read+0x49b/0x660 [<ffffffff810e4130>] ? try_to_wake_up+0x210/0x210 [<ffffffff816a3bb6>] tty_read+0x86/0xf0 [<ffffffff811f21d3>] vfs_read+0xc3/0x130 [<ffffffff811f2702>] SyS_read+0x62/0xa0 [<ffffffff815e24ee>] ? trace_hardirqs_on_thunk+0x3a/0x3f [<ffffffff81d45259>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b Reported-by: Artem Savkov <artem.savkov@gmail.com> Reported-by: Sergey Senozhatsky <sergey.senozhatsky@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Hurley <peter@hurleysoftware.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

2013-07-24n_tty: Fix EOF push handlingPeter Hurley
In canonical mode, an EOF which is not the first character of the line causes read() to complete and return the number of characters read so far (commonly referred to as EOF push). However, if the previous read() returned because the user buffer was full _and_ the next character is an EOF not at the beginning of the line, read() must not return 0, thus mistakenly indicating the end-of-file condition. The TTY_PUSH flag is used to indicate an EOF was received which is not at the beginning of the line. Because the EOF push condition is evaluated by a thread other than the read(), multiple EOF pushes can cause a premature end-of-file to be indicated. Instead, discover the 'EOF push as first read character' condition from the read() thread itself, and restart the i/o loop if detected.

2013-07-24n_tty: Process echoes in blocksPeter Hurley
Byte-by-byte echo output is painfully slow, requiring a lock/unlock cycle for every input byte. Instead, perform the echo output in blocks of 256 characters, and at least once per flip buffer receive. Enough space is reserved in the echo buffer to guarantee a full block can be saved without overrunning the echo output. Overrun is prevented by discarding the oldest echoes until enough space exists in the echo buffer to receive at least a full block of new echoes.

2013-07-24n_tty: Remove echo_lockPeter Hurley
Adding data to echo_buf (via add_echo_byte()) is guaranteed to be single-threaded, since all callers are from the n_tty_receive_buf() path. Processing the echo_buf can be called from either the n_tty_receive_buf() path or the n_tty_write() path; however, these callers are already serialized by output_lock. Publish cumulative echo_head changes to echo_commit; process echo_buf from echo_tail to echo_commit; remove echo_lock. On echo_buf overrun, claim output_lock to serialize changes to echo_tail.

2013-07-23n_tty: Special case pty flow controlPeter Hurley
The pty driver forces ldisc flow control on, regardless of available receive buffer space, so the writer can be woken whenever unthrottle is called. However, this 'forced throttle' has performance consequences, as multiple atomic operations are necessary to unthrottle and perform the write wakeup for every input line (in canonical mode). Instead, short-circuit the unthrottle if the tty is a pty and perform the write wakeup directly.

2013-07-23n_tty: Make N_TTY ldisc receive path locklessPeter Hurley
n_tty has a single-producer/single-consumer input model; use lockless publish instead. Use termios_rwsem to exclude both consumer and producer while changing or resetting buffer indices, eg., when flushing. Also, claim exclusive termios_rwsem to safely retrieve the buffer indices from a thread other than consumer or producer (eg., TIOCINQ ioctl). Note the read_tail is published _after_ clearing the newline indicator in read_flags to avoid racing the producer. Drop read_lock spinlock.

2013-07-23n_tty: Replace canon_data with index comparisonPeter Hurley
canon_data represented the # of lines which had been copied to the receive buffer but not yet copied to the user buffer. The value was tested to determine if input was available in canonical mode (and also to force input overrun if the receive buffer was full but a newline had not been received). However, the actual count was irrelevent; only whether it was non-zero (meaning 'is there any input to transfer?'). This shared count is unnecessary and unsafe with a lockless algorithm. The same check is made by comparing canon_head with read_tail instead. Signed-off-by: Peter Hurley <peter@hurleysoftware.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
