      License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license · b2441318
      Greg Kroah-Hartman 提交于
      Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
      makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
      
      By default all files without license information are under the default
      license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
      
      Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
      SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
      shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
      
      This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
      Philippe Ombredanne.
      
      How this work was done:
      
      Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
      the use cases:
       - file had no licensing information it it.
       - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
       - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
      
      Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
      where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
      had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
      
      The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
      a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
      output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
      tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
      base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
      
      The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
      assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
      results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
      to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
      immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
      
      Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
       - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
       - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
         lines of source
       - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
         lines).
      
      All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
      
      The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
      identifiers to apply.
      
       - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
         considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
         COPYING file license applied.
      
         For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
      
         SPDX license identifier                            # files
         ---------------------------------------------------|-------
         GPL-2.0                                              11139
      
         and resulted in the first patch in this series.
      
         If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
         Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:
      
         SPDX license identifier                            # files
         ---------------------------------------------------|-------
         GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930
      
         and resulted in the second patch in this series.
      
       - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
         of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
         any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
         it (per prior point).  Results summary:
      
         SPDX license identifier                            # files
         ---------------------------------------------------|------
         GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
         GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
         ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
         ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
         LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
         GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
         ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
         LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
         LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
         ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
         ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1
      
         and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
      
       - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
         the concluded license(s).
      
       - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
         license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
         licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
      
       - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
         resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
         which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
      
       - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
         confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
      
       - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
         the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
         in time.
      
      In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
      spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
      source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
      by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
      
      Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
      FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
      disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
      Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
      they are related.
      
      Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
      for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
      files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
      in about 15000 files.
      
      In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
      copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
      correct identifier.
      
      Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
      inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
      version early this week with:
       - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
         license ids and scores
       - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
         files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
       - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
         was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
         SPDX license was correct
      
      This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
      worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
      different types of files to be modified.
      
      These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
      parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
      format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
      based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
      distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
      comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
      generate the patches.

      sched/wait: Rename wait_queue_t => wait_queue_entry_t · ac6424b9
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      Rename:
      
      	wait_queue_t		=>	wait_queue_entry_t
      
      'wait_queue_t' was always a slight misnomer: its name implies that it's a "queue",
      but in reality it's a queue *entry*. The 'real' queue is the wait queue head,
      which had to carry the name.
      
      Start sorting this out by renaming it to 'wait_queue_entry_t'.
      
      This also allows the real structure name 'struct __wait_queue' to
      lose its double underscore and become 'struct wait_queue_entry',
      which is the more canonical nomenclature for such data types.

      Revert "mm, mempool: only set __GFP_NOMEMALLOC if there are free elements" · 4e390b2b
      Michal Hocko 提交于
      This reverts commit f9054c70 ("mm, mempool: only set __GFP_NOMEMALLOC
      if there are free elements").
      
      There has been a report about OOM killer invoked when swapping out to a
      dm-crypt device.  The primary reason seems to be that the swapout out IO
      managed to completely deplete memory reserves.  Ondrej was able to
      bisect and explained the issue by pointing to f9054c70 ("mm,
      mempool: only set __GFP_NOMEMALLOC if there are free elements").
      
      The reason is that the swapout path is not throttled properly because
      the md-raid layer needs to allocate from the generic_make_request path
      which means it allocates from the PF_MEMALLOC context.  dm layer uses
      mempool_alloc in order to guarantee a forward progress which used to
      inhibit access to memory reserves when using page allocator.  This has
      changed by f9054c70 ("mm, mempool: only set __GFP_NOMEMALLOC if
      there are free elements") which has dropped the __GFP_NOMEMALLOC
      protection when the memory pool is depleted.
      
      If we are running out of memory and the only way forward to free memory
      is to perform swapout we just keep consuming memory reserves rather than
      throttling the mempool allocations and allowing the pending IO to
      complete up to a moment when the memory is depleted completely and there
      is no way forward but invoking the OOM killer.  This is less than
      optimal.
      
      The original intention of f9054c70 was to help with the OOM
      situations where the oom victim depends on mempool allocation to make a
      forward progress.  David has mentioned the following backtrace:
      
        schedule
        schedule_timeout
        io_schedule_timeout
        mempool_alloc
        __split_and_process_bio
        dm_request
        generic_make_request
        submit_bio
        mpage_readpages
        ext4_readpages
        __do_page_cache_readahead
        ra_submit
        filemap_fault
        handle_mm_fault
        __do_page_fault
        do_page_fault
        page_fault
      
      We do not know more about why the mempool is depleted without being
      replenished in time, though.  In any case the dm layer shouldn't depend
      on any allocations outside of the dedicated pools so a forward progress
      should be guaranteed.  If this is not the case then the dm should be
      fixed rather than papering over the problem and postponing it to later
      by accessing more memory reserves.
      
      mempools are a mechanism to maintain dedicated memory reserves to
      guaratee forward progress.  Allowing them an unbounded access to the
      page allocator memory reserves is going against the whole purpose of
      this mechanism.

      mm: kasan: initial memory quarantine implementation · 55834c59
      Alexander Potapenko 提交于
      Quarantine isolates freed objects in a separate queue.  The objects are
      returned to the allocator later, which helps to detect use-after-free
      errors.
      
      When the object is freed, its state changes from KASAN_STATE_ALLOC to
      KASAN_STATE_QUARANTINE.  The object is poisoned and put into quarantine
      instead of being returned to the allocator, therefore every subsequent
      access to that object triggers a KASAN error, and the error handler is
      able to say where the object has been allocated and deallocated.
      
      When it's time for the object to leave quarantine, its state becomes
      KASAN_STATE_FREE and it's returned to the allocator.  From now on the
      allocator may reuse it for another allocation.  Before that happens,
      it's still possible to detect a use-after free on that object (it
      retains the allocation/deallocation stacks).
      
      When the allocator reuses this object, the shadow is unpoisoned and old
      allocation/deallocation stacks are wiped.  Therefore a use of this
      object, even an incorrect one, won't trigger ASan warning.
      
      Without the quarantine, it's not guaranteed that the objects aren't
      reused immediately, that's why the probability of catching a
      use-after-free is lower than with quarantine in place.
      
      Quarantine isolates freed objects in a separate queue.  The objects are
      returned to the allocator later, which helps to detect use-after-free
      errors.
      
      Freed objects are first added to per-cpu quarantine queues.  When a
      cache is destroyed or memory shrinking is requested, the objects are
      moved into the global quarantine queue.  Whenever a kmalloc call allows
      memory reclaiming, the oldest objects are popped out of the global queue
      until the total size of objects in quarantine is less than 3/4 of the
      maximum quarantine size (which is a fraction of installed physical
      memory).
      
      As long as an object remains in the quarantine, KASAN is able to report
      accesses to it, so the chance of reporting a use-after-free is
      increased.  Once the object leaves quarantine, the allocator may reuse
      it, in which case the object is unpoisoned and KASAN can't detect
      incorrect accesses to it.
      
      Right now quarantine support is only enabled in SLAB allocator.
      Unification of KASAN features in SLAB and SLUB will be done later.
      
      This patch is based on the "mm: kasan: quarantine" patch originally
      prepared by Dmitry Chernenkov.  A number of improvements have been
      suggested by Andrey Ryabinin.

      mm, mempool: only set __GFP_NOMEMALLOC if there are free elements · f9054c70
      David Rientjes 提交于
      If an oom killed thread calls mempool_alloc(), it is possible that it'll
      loop forever if there are no elements on the freelist since
      __GFP_NOMEMALLOC prevents it from accessing needed memory reserves in
      oom conditions.
      
      Only set __GFP_NOMEMALLOC if there are elements on the freelist.  If
      there are no free elements, allow allocations without the bit set so
      that memory reserves can be accessed if needed.
      
      Additionally, using mempool_alloc() with __GFP_NOMEMALLOC is not
      supported since the implementation can loop forever without accessing
      memory reserves when needed.

      mm, page_alloc: distinguish between being unable to sleep, unwilling to sleep and avoiding waking kswapd
      
      __GFP_WAIT has been used to identify atomic context in callers that hold
      spinlocks or are in interrupts.  They are expected to be high priority and
      have access one of two watermarks lower than "min" which can be referred
      to as the "atomic reserve".  __GFP_HIGH users get access to the first
      lower watermark and can be called the "high priority reserve".
      
      Over time, callers had a requirement to not block when fallback options
      were available.  Some have abused __GFP_WAIT leading to a situation where
      an optimisitic allocation with a fallback option can access atomic
      reserves.
      
      This patch uses __GFP_ATOMIC to identify callers that are truely atomic,
      cannot sleep and have no alternative.  High priority users continue to use
      __GFP_HIGH.  __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM identifies callers that can sleep and
      are willing to enter direct reclaim.  __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM to identify
      callers that want to wake kswapd for background reclaim.  __GFP_WAIT is
      redefined as a caller that is willing to enter direct reclaim and wake
      kswapd for background reclaim.
      
      This patch then converts a number of sites
      
      o __GFP_ATOMIC is used by callers that are high priority and have memory
        pools for those requests. GFP_ATOMIC uses this flag.
      
      o Callers that have a limited mempool to guarantee forward progress clear
        __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM but keep __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. bio allocations fall
        into this category where kswapd will still be woken but atomic reserves
        are not used as there is a one-entry mempool to guarantee progress.
      
      o Callers that are checking if they are non-blocking should use the
        helper gfpflags_allow_blocking() where possible. This is because
        checking for __GFP_WAIT as was done historically now can trigger false
        positives. Some exceptions like dm-crypt.c exist where the code intent
        is clearer if __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is used instead of the helper due to
        flag manipulations.
      
      o Callers that built their own GFP flags instead of starting with GFP_KERNEL
        and friends now also need to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM.
      
      The first key hazard to watch out for is callers that removed __GFP_WAIT
      and was depending on access to atomic reserves for inconspicuous reasons.
      In some cases it may be appropriate for them to use __GFP_HIGH.
      
      The second key hazard is callers that assembled their own combination of
      GFP flags instead of starting with something like GFP_KERNEL.  They may
      now wish to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM.  It's almost certainly harmless
      if it's missed in most cases as other activity will wake kswapd.

      mempool: fix first round failure behavior · 1ebb7044
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      mempool modifies gfp_mask so that the backing allocator doesn't try too
      hard or trigger warning message when there's pool to fall back on.  In
      addition, for the first try, it removes __GFP_WAIT and IO, so that it
      doesn't trigger reclaim or wait when allocation can be fulfilled from
      pool; however, when that allocation fails and pool is empty too, it waits
      for the pool to be replenished before retrying.
      
      Allocation which could have succeeded after a bit of reclaim has to wait
      on the reserved items and it's not like mempool doesn't retry with
      __GFP_WAIT and IO.  It just does that *after* someone returns an element,
      pointlessly delaying things.
      
      Fix it by retrying immediately if the first round of allocation attempts
      w/o __GFP_WAIT and IO fails.

      mempool: drop unnecessary and incorrect BUG_ON() from mempool_destroy() · 0565d317
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      mempool_destroy() is a thin wrapper around free_pool().  The only thing it
      adds is BUG_ON(pool->curr_nr != pool->min_nr).  The intention seems to be
      to enforce that all allocated elements are freed; however, the BUG_ON()
      can't achieve that (it doesn't know anything about objects above min_nr)
      and incorrect as mempool_resize() is allowed to leave the pool extended
      but not filled.  Furthermore, panicking is way worse than any memory leak
      and there are better debug tools to track memory leaks.
      
      Drop the BUG_ON() from mempool_destory() and as that leaves the function
      identical to free_pool(), replace it.

      mempool: fix and document synchronization and memory barrier usage · 5b990546
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      mempool_alloc/free() use undocumented smp_mb()'s.  The code is slightly
      broken and misleading.
      
      The lockless part is in mempool_free().  It wants to determine whether the
      item being freed needs to be returned to the pool or backing allocator
      without grabbing pool->lock.  Two things need to be guaranteed for correct
      operation.
      
      1. pool->curr_nr + #allocated should never dip below pool->min_nr.
      2. Waiters shouldn't be left dangling.
      
      For #1, The only necessary condition is that curr_nr visible at free is
      from after the allocation of the element being freed (details in the
      comment).  For most cases, this is true without any barrier but there can
      be fringe cases where the allocated pointer is passed to the freeing task
      without going through memory barriers.  To cover this case, wmb is
      necessary before returning from allocation and rmb is necessary before
      reading curr_nr.  IOW,
      
      	ALLOCATING TASK			FREEING TASK
      
      	update pool state after alloc;
      	wmb();
      	pass pointer to freeing task;
      					read pointer;
      					rmb();
      					read pool state to free;
      
      The current code doesn't have wmb after pool update during allocation and
      may theoretically, on machines where unlock doesn't behave as full wmb,
      lead to pool depletion and deadlock.  smp_wmb() needs to be added after
      successful allocation from reserved elements and smp_mb() in
      mempool_free() can be replaced with smp_rmb().
      
      For #2, the waiter needs to add itself to waitqueue and then check the
      wait condition and the waker needs to update the wait condition and then
      wake up.  Because waitqueue operations always go through full spinlock
      synchronization, there is no need for extra memory barriers.
      
      Furthermore, mempool_alloc() is already holding pool->lock when it decides
      that it needs to wait.  There is no reason to do unlock - add waitqueue -
      test condition again.  It can simply add itself to waitqueue while holding
      pool->lock and then unlock and sleep.
      
      This patch adds smp_wmb() after successful allocation from reserved pool,
      replaces smp_mb() in mempool_free() with smp_rmb() and extend pool->lock
      over waitqueue addition.  More importantly, it explains what memory
      barriers do and how the lockless testing is correct.
      
      -v2: Oleg pointed out that unlock doesn't imply wmb.  Added explicit
           smp_wmb() after successful allocation from reserved pool and
           updated comments accordingly.

      [PATCH] dm: work around mempool_alloc, bio_alloc_bioset deadlocks · 0b1d647a
      Pavel Mironchik 提交于
      This patch works around a complex dm-related deadlock/livelock down in the
      mempool allocator.
      
      Alasdair said:
      
        Several dm targets suffer from this.
      
        Mempools are not yet used correctly everywhere in device-mapper: they can
        get shared when devices are stacked, and some targets share them across
        multiple instances.  I made fixing this one of the prerequisites for this
        patch:
      
          md-dm-reduce-stack-usage-with-stacked-block-devices.patch
      
        which in some cases makes people more likely to hit the problem.
      
        There's been some progress on this recently with (unfinished) dm-crypt
        patches at:
      
          http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/agk/patches/2.6/editing/
            (dm-crypt-move-io-to-workqueue.patch plus dependencies)
      
      and:
      
        I've no problems with a temporary workaround like that, but Milan Broz (a
        new Redhat developer in the Czech Republic) has started reviewing all the
        mempool usage in device-mapper so I'm expecting we'll soon have a proper fix
        for this associated problems.  [He's back from holiday at the start of next
        week.]
      
      For now, this sad-but-safe little patch will allow the machine to recover.
