      IB/umem: Fix possible hang on process exit · 24bce508
      Roland Dreier 提交于
      If ib_umem_release() is called after ib_uverbs_close() sets context->closing,
      then a process can get stuck in a D state, because the code boils down to
      
      	if (down_write_trylock(&mm->mmap_sem))
      		down_write(&mm->mmap_sem);
      
      which is obviously a stupid instant deadlock.  Fix the code so that we
      only try to take the lock once.
      
      This bug was introduced in commit f7c6a7b5 ("IB/uverbs: Export
      ib_umem_get()/ib_umem_release() to modules") which fortunately never
      made it into a release, and was reported by Pete Wyckoff <pw@osc.edu>.

      Detach sched.h from mm.h · e8edc6e0
      Alexey Dobriyan 提交于
      First thing mm.h does is including sched.h solely for can_do_mlock() inline
      function which has "current" dereference inside. By dealing with can_do_mlock()
      mm.h can be detached from sched.h which is good. See below, why.
      
      This patch
      a) removes unconditional inclusion of sched.h from mm.h
      b) makes can_do_mlock() normal function in mm/mlock.c
      c) exports can_do_mlock() to not break compilation
      d) adds sched.h inclusions back to files that were getting it indirectly.
      e) adds less bloated headers to some files (asm/signal.h, jiffies.h) that were
         getting them indirectly
      
      Net result is:
      a) mm.h users would get less code to open, read, preprocess, parse, ... if
         they don't need sched.h
      b) sched.h stops being dependency for significant number of files:
         on x86_64 allmodconfig touching sched.h results in recompile of 4083 files,
         after patch it's only 3744 (-8.3%).
      
      Cross-compile tested on
      
      	all arm defconfigs, all mips defconfigs, all powerpc defconfigs,
      	alpha alpha-up
      	arm
      	i386 i386-up i386-defconfig i386-allnoconfig
      	ia64 ia64-up
      	m68k
      	mips
      	parisc parisc-up
      	powerpc powerpc-up

      	um-x86_64
      	x86_64 x86_64-up x86_64-defconfig x86_64-allnoconfig
      
      as well as my two usual configs.

      IB: Put rlimit accounting struct in struct ib_umem · 1bf66a30
      Roland Dreier 提交于
      When memory pinned with ib_umem_get() is released, ib_umem_release()
      needs to subtract the amount of memory being unpinned from
      mm->locked_vm.  However, ib_umem_release() may be called with
      mm->mmap_sem already held for writing if the memory is being released
      as part of an munmap() call, so it is sometimes necessary to defer
      this accounting into a workqueue.
      
      However, the work struct used to defer this accounting is dynamically
      allocated before it is queued, so there is the possibility of failing
      that allocation.  If the allocation fails, then ib_umem_release has no
      choice except to bail out and leave the process with a permanently
      elevated locked_vm.
      
      Fix this by allocating the structure to defer accounting as part of
      the original struct ib_umem, so there's no possibility of failing a
      later allocation if creating the struct ib_umem and pinning memory
      succeeds.

      IB/uverbs: Export ib_umem_get()/ib_umem_release() to modules · f7c6a7b5
      Roland Dreier 提交于
      Export ib_umem_get()/ib_umem_release() and put low-level drivers in
      control of when to call ib_umem_get() to pin and DMA map userspace,
      rather than always calling it in ib_uverbs_reg_mr() before calling the
      low-level driver's reg_user_mr method.
      
      Also move these functions to be in the ib_core module instead of
      ib_uverbs, so that driver modules using them do not depend on
      ib_uverbs.
      
      This has a number of advantages:
       - It is better design from the standpoint of making generic code a
         library that can be used or overridden by device-specific code as
         the details of specific devices dictate.
       - Drivers that do not need to pin userspace memory regions do not
         need to take the performance hit of calling ib_mem_get().  For
         example, although I have not tried to implement it in this patch,
         the ipath driver should be able to avoid pinning memory and just
         use copy_{to,from}_user() to access userspace memory regions.
       - Buffers that need special mapping treatment can be identified by
         the low-level driver.  For example, it may be possible to solve
         some Altix-specific memory ordering issues with mthca CQs in
         userspace by mapping CQ buffers with extra flags.
       - Drivers that need to pin and DMA map userspace memory for things
         other than memory regions can use ib_umem_get() directly, instead
         of hacks using extra parameters to their reg_phys_mr method.  For
         example, the mlx4 driver that is pending being merged needs to pin
         and DMA map QP and CQ buffers, but it does not need to create a
         memory key for these buffers.  So the cleanest solution is for mlx4
         to call ib_umem_get() in the create_qp and create_cq methods.
