16 years agopid_ns: (BUG 11391) change ->child_reaper when init->group_leader exits

pid_ns: (BUG 11391) change ->child_reaper when init->group_leader exits

We don't change pid_ns->child_reaper when the main thread of the
subnamespace init exits.  As Robert Rex <robert.rex@exasol.com> pointed
out this is wrong.

Yes, the re-parenting itself works correctly, but if the reparented task
exits it needs ->parent->nsproxy->pid_ns in do_notify_parent(), and if the
main thread is zombie its ->nsproxy was already cleared by
exit_task_namespaces().

Introduce the new function, find_new_reaper(), which finds the new
->parent for the re-parenting and changes ->child_reaper if needed.  Kill
the now unneeded exit_child_reaper().

Also move the changing of ->child_reaper from zap_pid_ns_processes() to
find_new_reaper(), this consolidates the games with ->child_reaper and
makes it stable under tasklist_lock.

Oleg Nesterov [Tue, 2 Sep 2008 21:35:48 +0000 (14:35 -0700)]
pid_ns: zap_pid_ns_processes: fix the ->child_reaper changing

zap_pid_ns_processes() sets pid_ns->child_reaper = NULL, this is wrong.

Yes, we have already killed all tasks in this namespace, and sys_wait4()
doesn't see any child.  But this doesn't mean ->children list is empty, we
may have EXIT_DEAD tasks which are not visible to do_wait().  In that case
the subsequent forget_original_parent() will crash the kernel because it
will try to re-parent these tasks to the NULL reaper.

Even if there are no childs, it is not good that forget_original_parent()
uses reaper == NULL.

Change the code to set ->child_reaper = init_pid_ns.child_reaper instead.
We could use pid_ns->parent->child_reaper as well, I think this does not
really matter.  These EXIT_DEAD tasks are not visible to the new ->parent
after re-parenting, they will silently do release_task() eventually.

Note that we must change ->child_reaper, otherwise
forget_original_parent() will use reaper == father, and in that case we
will hit the (correct) BUG_ON(!list_empty(&father->children)).

This bug has been around for a LONG time.  The MM warning is from late
2005, but the driver merged a year later ...  so I'm puzzled why nobody
noticed this before now.

The fix involves noting that this buffer shouldn't be DMA-coherent; it's
just used for normal DMA writes.  So replace it with standard kmalloc()
buffering and DMA mapping calls.

This is the quickie fix.  A better one would not rely on allocating large
bounce buffers.  (Note that dma_alloc_coherent could have failed too, but
that case was ignored...  kmalloc is a bit more likely to fail though.)

16 years ago8250: improve workaround for UARTs that don't re-assert THRE correctly
Will Newton [Tue, 2 Sep 2008 21:35:44 +0000 (14:35 -0700)]
8250: improve workaround for UARTs that don't re-assert THRE correctly

Recent changes to tighten the check for UARTs that don't correctly
re-assert THRE (01c194d9278efc15d4785ff205643e9c0bdcef53: "serial 8250:
tighten test for using backup timer") caused problems when such a UART was
opened for the second time - the bug could only successfully be detected
at first initialization.  For users of this version of this particular
UART IP it is fatal.

This patch stores the information about the bug in the bugs field of the
port structure when the port is first started up so subsequent opens can
check this bit even if the test for the bug fails.

David Brownell: "My own exposure to this is that the UART on DaVinci
hardware, which TI allegedly derived from its original 16550 logic, has
periodically gone from working to unusable with the mainline 8250.c ...
and back and forth a bunch.  Currently it's "unusable", a regression from
some previous versions.  With this patch from Will, it's usable."

    commit 3f31fddfa26b7594b44ff2b34f9a04ba409e0f91

        jbd: fix race between free buffer and commit transaction

was merged into 2.6.27-rc1, but I noticed that this patch is not enough
to fix the race.

I did fsstress test heavily to 2.6.27-rc1, and found that dio write still
sometimes got EIO through this test.

The patch above fixed race between freeing buffer(dio) and committing
transaction(jbd) but I discovered that there is another race, freeing
buffer(dio) and ext3/4_ordered_writepage.

: background_writeout()
     ->write_cache_pages()
       ->ext3_ordered_writepage()
         walk_page_buffers() -> take a bh ref
     block_write_full_page() -> unlock_page
: <- end_page_writeback
                : <- race! (dio write->try_to_release_page fails)
          walk_page_buffers() ->release a bh ref

ext3_ordered_writepage holds bh ref and does unlock_page remaining
taking a bh ref, so this causes the race and failure of
try_to_release_page.

To fix this race, I used the approach of falling back to buffered
writes if try_to_release_page() fails on a page.

candidates, it happily continues the scan into 0x8000000-0x44000000.  When
a pageblock is found, the pages are moved to the MIGRATE_RESERVE list on

David Wagner added (among other things) that copy_to_user could be

Ingo Oeser suggested to use simple_read_from_buffer() here.

Fix problem with waiting while holding rcu read lock in md/bitmap.c

A recent patch to protect the rdev list with rcu locking leaves us
with a problem because we can sleep on memalloc while holding the
rcu lock.

The rcu lock is only needed while walking the linked list as
uninteresting devices (failed or spares) can be removed at any time.

So only take the rcu lock while actually walking the linked list.
Take a refcount on the rdev during the time when we drop the lock
and do the memalloc to start IO.
When we return to the locked code, all the interesting devices
on the list will not have moved, so we can simply use
list_for_each_continue_rcu to pick up where we left off.

16 years agoRemove invalidate_partition call from do_md_stop.
NeilBrown [Mon, 1 Sep 2008 02:32:52 +0000 (12:32 +1000)]
Remove invalidate_partition call from do_md_stop.

When stopping an md array, or just switching to read-only, we
currently call invalidate_partition while holding the mddev lock.
The main reason for this is probably to ensure all dirty buffers
are flushed (invalidate_partition calls fsync_bdev).

However if any dirty buffers are found, it will almost certainly cause
a deadlock as starting writeout will require an update to the
superblock, and performing that updates requires taking the mddev
lock - which is already held.

This deadlock can be demonstrated by running "reboot -f -n" with
a root filesystem on md/raid, and some dirty buffers in memory.

All other calls to stop an array should already happen after a flush.
The normal sequence is to stop using the array (e.g. umount) which
will cause __blkdev_put to call sync_blockdev.  Then open the
array and issue the STOP_ARRAY ioctl while the buffers are all still
clean.

So this invalidate_partition is normally a no-op, except for one case
where it will cause a deadlock.

So remove it.

This patch possibly addresses the regression recored in
   http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11460
and
   http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11452

When a device is under an EBUS or ISA bus, the resource flags

16 years agocifs: fix O_APPEND on directio mounts
Jeff Layton [Thu, 28 Aug 2008 11:54:59 +0000 (07:54 -0400)]
cifs: fix O_APPEND on directio mounts

The direct I/O write codepath for CIFS is done through
cifs_user_write(). That function does not currently call
generic_write_checks() so the file position isn't being properly set
when the file is opened with O_APPEND.  It's also not doing the other
"normal" checks that should be done for a write call.

The problem is currently that when you open a file with O_APPEND on a
mount with the directio mount option, the file position is set to the
beginning of the file. This makes any subsequent writes clobber the data
in the file starting at the beginning.

This seems to fix the problem in cursory testing. It is, however
important to note that NFS disallows the combination of
(O_DIRECT|O_APPEND). If my understanding is correct, the concern is
races with multiple clients appending to a file clobbering each others'
data. Since the write model for CIFS and NFS is pretty similar in this
regard, CIFS is probably subject to the same sort of races. What's
unclear to me is why this is a particular problem with O_DIRECT and not
with buffered writes...

Regardless, disallowing O_APPEND on an entire mount is probably not
reasonable, so we'll probably just have to deal with it and reevaluate
this flag combination when we get proper support for O_DIRECT. In the
meantime this patch at least fixes the existing problem.

sched: fix sched_rt_rq_enqueue() resched idle

When sysctl_sched_rt_runtime is set to something other than -1 and the
CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED kernel parameter is NOT enabled, we get into a state
where we see one or more CPUs idling forvever even though there are
real-time
tasks in their rt runqueue that are able to run (no longer throttled).

The sequence is:

- A real-time task is running when the timer sets the rt runqueue
    to throttled, and the rt task is resched_task()ed and switched
    out, and idle is switched in since there are no non-rt tasks to
    run on that cpu.

- Eventually the do_sched_rt_period_timer() runs and un-throttles
    the rt runqueue, but we just exit the timer interrupt and go back
    to executing the idle task in the idle loop forever.

If we change the sched_rt_rq_enqueue() routine to use some of the code
from the CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED enabled version of this same routine and
resched_task() the currently executing task (idle in our case) if it is
a lower priority task than the higher rt task in the now un-throttled
runqueue, the problem is no longer observed.

tty: Fix termios tty window resize race with pty/tty pair

Kanru Chen posted a patch versus the old code which deals with the case
where you resize the pty side of a pty/tty pair. In that situation the
termios data is updated for both pty and tty but the locks are not held

Steven Rostedt [Wed, 27 Aug 2008 13:14:40 +0000 (09:14 -0400)]
ftrace: disable tracing for suspend to ram

I've been painstakingly debugging the issue with suspend to ram and
ftraced. The 2.6.28 code does not have this issue, but since the mcount
recording is not going to be in 27, this must be solved for the ftrace
daemon version.

The resume from suspend to ram would reboot because it was triple
faulting. Debugging further, I found that calling the mcount function
itself was not an issue, but it would fault when it incremented
preempt_count. preempt_count is on the tasks info structure that is on the
low memory address of the task's stack.  For some reason, it could not
write to it. Resuming out of suspend to ram does quite a lot of funny
tricks to get to work, so it is not surprising at all that simply doing a
preempt_disable() would cause a fault.

Thanks to Rafael for suggesting to add a "while (1);" to find the place in
resuming that is causing the fault. I would place the loop somewhere in
the code, compile and reboot and see if it would either reboot (hit the
fault) or simply hang (hit the loop).  Doing this over and over again, I
narrowed it down that it was happening in enable_nonboot_cpus.

At this point, I found that it is easier to simply disable tracing around
the suspend code, instead of searching for the particular function that
can not handle doing a preempt_disable.

This patch disables the tracer as it suspends and reenables it on resume.

I tested this patch on my Laptop, and it can resume fine with the patch.

16 years ago[ARM] Skip memory holes in FLATMEM when reading /proc/pagetypeinfo
Mel Gorman [Thu, 14 Aug 2008 10:10:14 +0000 (11:10 +0100)]
[ARM] Skip memory holes in FLATMEM when reading /proc/pagetypeinfo

Ordinarily, memory holes in flatmem still have a valid memmap and is safe
to use. However, an architecture (ARM) frees up the memmap backing memory
holes on the assumption it is never used. /proc/pagetypeinfo reads the
whole range of pages in a zone believing that the memmap is valid and that
pfn_valid will return false if it is not. On ARM, freeing the memmap breaks
the page->zone linkages even though pfn_valid() returns true and the kernel
can oops shortly afterwards due to accessing a bogus struct zone *.

This patch lets architectures say when FLATMEM can have holes in the
memmap. Rather than an expensive check for valid memory, /proc/pagetypeinfo
will confirm that the page linkages are still valid by checking page->zone
is still the expected zone. The lookup of page_zone is safe as there is a
limited range of memory that is accessed when calling page_zone.  Even if
page_zone happens to return the correct zone, the impact is that the counters
in /proc/pagetypeinfo are slightly off but fragmentation monitoring is
unlikely to be relevant on an embedded system.
