      tipc: remove interface state mirroring in bearer · 512137ee
      Erik Hugne 提交于
      struct 'tipc_bearer' is a generic representation of the underlying
      media type, and exists in a one-to-one relationship to each interface
      TIPC is using. The struct contains a 'blocked' flag that mirrors the
      operational and execution state of the represented interface, and is
      updated through notification calls from the latter. The users of
      tipc_bearer are checking this flag before each attempt to send a
      packet via the interface.
      
      This state mirroring serves no purpose in the current code base. TIPC
      links will not discover a media failure any faster through this
      mechanism, and in reality the flag only adds overhead at packet
      sending and reception.
      
      Furthermore, the fact that the flag needs to be protected by a spinlock
      aggregated into tipc_bearer has turned out to cause a serious and
      completely unnecessary deadlock problem.
      
      CPU0                                    CPU1
      ----                                    ----
      Time 0: bearer_disable()                link_timeout()
      Time 1:   spin_lock_bh(&b_ptr->lock)      tipc_link_push_queue()
      Time 2:   tipc_link_delete()                tipc_bearer_blocked(b_ptr)
      Time 3:     k_cancel_timer(&req->timer)       spin_lock_bh(&b_ptr->lock)
      Time 4:       del_timer_sync(&req->timer)
      
      I.e., del_timer_sync() on CPU0 never returns, because the timer handler
      on CPU1 is waiting for the bearer lock.
      
      We eliminate the 'blocked' flag from struct tipc_bearer, along with all
      tests on this flag. This not only resolves the deadlock, but also
      simplifies and speeds up the data path execution of TIPC. It also fits
      well into our ongoing effort to make the locking policy simpler and
      more manageable.
      
      An effect of this change is that we can get rid of functions such as
      tipc_bearer_blocked(), tipc_continue() and tipc_block_bearer().
      We replace the latter with a new function, tipc_reset_bearer(), which
      resets all links associated to the bearer immediately after an
      interface goes down.
      
      A user might notice one slight change in link behaviour after this
      change. When an interface goes down, (e.g. through a NETDEV_DOWN
      event) all attached links will be reset immediately, instead of
      leaving it to each link to detect the failure through a timer-driven
      mechanism. We consider this an improvement, and see no obvious risks
      with the new behavior.

      >From the log, we can see three different call chains between
      CPU0 and CPU1:
      
      Time 0 on CPU0:
      
        kernel_init()->inet_init()->dev_add_pack()
      
      At time 0, the ptype_lock is held by CPU0 in dev_add_pack();
      
      Time 1 on CPU1:
      
        tipc_enable_bearer()->enable_bearer()->dev_add_pack()
      
      At time 1, tipc_enable_bearer() first holds tipc_net_lock, and then
      wants to take ptype_lock to register TIPC protocol handler into the
      networking stack.  But the ptype_lock has been taken by dev_add_pack()
      on CPU0, so at this time the dev_add_pack() running on CPU1 has to be
      busy looping.
      
      Time 2 on CPU0:
      
        netif_receive_skb()->recv_msg()->tipc_recv_msg()
      
      At time 2, an incoming TIPC packet arrives at CPU0, hence
      tipc_recv_msg() will be invoked. In tipc_recv_msg(), it first wants
      to hold tipc_net_lock.  At the moment, below scenario happens:
      
      On CPU0, below is our sequence of taking locks:
      
        lock(ptype_lock)->lock(tipc_net_lock)
      
      On CPU1, our sequence of taking locks looks like:
      
        lock(tipc_net_lock)->lock(ptype_lock)
      
      Obviously deadlock may happen in this case.
      
      But please note the deadlock possibly doesn't occur at all when the
      first TIPC bearer is enabled.  Before enable_bearer() -- running on
      CPU1 does not hold ptype_lock, so the TIPC receive handler (i.e.
      recv_msg()) is not registered successfully via dev_add_pack(), so
      the tipc_recv_msg() cannot be called by recv_msg() even if a TIPC
      message comes to CPU0. But when the second TIPC bearer is
      registered, the deadlock can perhaps really happen.
      
      To fix it, we will push the work of registering TIPC protocol
      handler into workqueue context. After the change, both paths taking
      ptype_lock are always in process contexts, thus, the deadlock should
      never occur.

      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking... · 5a0e3ad6
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
      
      percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
      included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
      in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
      universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
      
      percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
      this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
      headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
      needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
      used as the basis of conversion.
      
        http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
      
      The script does the followings.
      
      * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
        only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
        gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
      
      * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
        blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
        to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
        core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
        alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
        doesn't seem to be any matching order.
      
      * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
        because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
        an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
        file.
      
      The conversion was done in the following steps.
      
      1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
         over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
         and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
         files.
      
      2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
         some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
         embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
         inclusions to around 150 files.
      
      3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
         from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
      
      4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
         e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
         APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
      
      5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
         editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
         files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
         inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
         wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
         slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
         necessary.
      
      6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
      
      7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
         were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
         distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
         more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
         build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
      
         * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
         * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
         * s390 SMP allmodconfig
         * alpha SMP allmodconfig
         * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
      
      8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
         a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
      
      Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
      6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
      If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
      headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
      the specific arch.

      [NET]: Make the device list and device lookups per namespace. · 881d966b
      Eric W. Biederman 提交于
      This patch makes most of the generic device layer network
      namespace safe.  This patch makes dev_base_head a
      network namespace variable, and then it picks up
      a few associated variables.  The functions:
      dev_getbyhwaddr
      dev_getfirsthwbytype
      dev_get_by_flags
      dev_get_by_name
      __dev_get_by_name
      dev_get_by_index
      __dev_get_by_index
      dev_ioctl
      dev_ethtool
      dev_load
      wireless_process_ioctl
      
      were modified to take a network namespace argument, and
      deal with it.
      
      vlan_ioctl_set and brioctl_set were modified so their
      hooks will receive a network namespace argument.
      
      So basically anthing in the core of the network stack that was
      affected to by the change of dev_base was modified to handle
      multiple network namespaces.  The rest of the network stack was
      simply modified to explicitly use &init_net the initial network
      namespace.  This can be fixed when those components of the network
      stack are modified to handle multiple network namespaces.
      
      For now the ifindex generator is left global.
      
      Fundametally ifindex numbers are per namespace, or else
      we will have corner case problems with migration when
      we get that far.
      
      At the same time there are assumptions in the network stack
      that the ifindex of a network device won't change.  Making
      the ifindex number global seems a good compromise until
      the network stack can cope with ifindex changes when
      you change namespaces, and the like.
