      mm: compaction: Abort async compaction if locks are contended or taking too long · c67fe375
      Mel Gorman 提交于
      Jim Schutt reported a problem that pointed at compaction contending
      heavily on locks.  The workload is straight-forward and in his own words;
      
      	The systems in question have 24 SAS drives spread across 3 HBAs,
      	running 24 Ceph OSD instances, one per drive.  FWIW these servers
      	are dual-socket Intel 5675 Xeons w/48 GB memory.  I've got ~160
      	Ceph Linux clients doing dd simultaneously to a Ceph file system
      	backed by 12 of these servers.
      
      Early in the test everything looks fine

      There was other data but primarily it is all showing that compaction is
      contended heavily on the zone->lock and zone->lru_lock.
      
      commit [b2eef8c0: mm: compaction: minimise the time IRQs are disabled
      while isolating pages for migration] noted that it was possible for
      migration to hold the lru_lock for an excessive amount of time. Very
      broadly speaking this patch expands the concept.
      
      This patch introduces compact_checklock_irqsave() to check if a lock
      is contended or the process needs to be scheduled. If either condition
      is true then async compaction is aborted and the caller is informed.
      The page allocator will fail a THP allocation if compaction failed due
      to contention. This patch also introduces compact_trylock_irqsave()
      which will acquire the lock only if it is not contended and the process
      does not need to schedule.

      af_netlink: force credentials passing [CVE-2012-3520] · e0e3cea4
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      Pablo Neira Ayuso discovered that avahi and
      potentially NetworkManager accept spoofed Netlink messages because of a
      kernel bug.  The kernel passes all-zero SCM_CREDENTIALS ancillary data
      to the receiver if the sender did not provide such data, instead of not
      including any such data at all or including the correct data from the
      peer (as it is the case with AF_UNIX).
      
      This bug was introduced in commit 16e57262
      (af_unix: dont send SCM_CREDENTIALS by default)
      
      This patch forces passing credentials for netlink, as
      before the regression.
      
      Another fix would be to not add SCM_CREDENTIALS in
      netlink messages if not provided by the sender, but it
      might break some programs.

      af_packet: don't emit packet on orig fanout group · c0de08d0
      Eric Leblond 提交于
      If a packet is emitted on one socket in one group of fanout sockets,
      it is transmitted again. It is thus read again on one of the sockets
      of the fanout group. This result in a loop for software which
      generate packets when receiving one.
      This retransmission is not the intended behavior: a fanout group
      must behave like a single socket. The packet should not be
      transmitted on a socket if it originates from a socket belonging
      to the same fanout group.
      
      This patch fixes the issue by changing the transmission check to
      take fanout group info account.

      mutex: Place lock in contended state after fastpath_lock failure · 0bce9c46
      Will Deacon 提交于
      ARM recently moved to asm-generic/mutex-xchg.h for its mutex
      implementation after the previous implementation was found to be missing
      some crucial memory barriers. However, this has revealed some problems
      running hackbench on SMP platforms due to the way in which the
      MUTEX_SPIN_ON_OWNER code operates.
      
      The symptoms are that a bunch of hackbench tasks are left waiting on an
      unlocked mutex and therefore never get woken up to claim it. This boils
      down to the following sequence of events:
      
              Task A        Task B        Task C        Lock value
      0                                                     1
      1       lock()                                        0
      2                     lock()                          0
      3                     spin(A)                         0
      4       unlock()                                      1
      5                                   lock()            0
      6                     cmpxchg(1,0)                    0
      7                     contended()                    -1
      8       lock()                                        0
      9       spin(C)                                       0
      10                                  unlock()          1
      11      cmpxchg(1,0)                                  0
      12      unlock()                                      1
      
      At this point, the lock is unlocked, but Task B is in an uninterruptible
      sleep with nobody to wake it up.
      
      This patch fixes the problem by ensuring we put the lock into the
      contended state if we fail to acquire it on the fastpath, ensuring that
      any blocked waiters are woken up when the mutex is released.

      netfilter: nf_ct_sip: fix IPv6 address parsing · 02b69cbd
      Patrick McHardy 提交于
      Within SIP messages IPv6 addresses are enclosed in square brackets in most
      cases, with the exception of the "received=" header parameter. Currently
      the helper fails to parse enclosed addresses.
      
      This patch:
      
      - changes the SIP address parsing function to enforce square brackets
        when required, and accept them when not required but present, as
        recommended by RFC 5118.
      
      - adds a new SDP address parsing function that never accepts square
        brackets since SDP doesn't use them.
      
      With these changes, the SIP helper correctly parses all test messages
      from RFC 5118 (Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Torture Test Messages
      for Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6)).

      Input: eeti_ts: pass gpio value instead of IRQ · 4eef6cbf
      Arnd Bergmann 提交于
      The EETI touchscreen asserts its IRQ line as soon as it has data in its
      internal buffers. The line is automatically deasserted once all data has
      been read via I2C. Hence, the driver has to monitor the GPIO line and
      cannot simply rely on the interrupt handler reception.
      
      In the current implementation of the driver, irq_to_gpio() is used to
      determine the GPIO number from the i2c_client's IRQ value.
      
      As irq_to_gpio() is not available on all platforms, this patch changes
      this and makes the driver ignore the passed in IRQ. Instead, a GPIO is
      added to the platform_data struct and gpio_to_irq is used to derive the
      IRQ from that GPIO. If this fails, bail out. The driver is only able to
      work in environments where the touchscreen GPIO can be mapped to an
      IRQ.
      
      Without this patch, building raumfeld_defconfig results in:

      net: force dst_default_metrics to const section · a37e6e34
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      While investigating on network performance problems, I found this little
      gem :
      
      $ nm -v vmlinux | grep -1 dst_default_metrics

      ffffffff82736560 B dst_default_metrics
      ffffffff82736598 b dst_busy_list
      
      Apparently, declaring a const array without initializer put it in
      (writeable) bss section, in middle of possibly often dirtied cache
      lines.
      
      Since we really want dst_default_metrics be const to avoid any possible
      false sharing and catch any buggy writes, I force a null initializer.

      canfd: remove redundant CAN FD flag · 035534ed
      Oliver Hartkopp 提交于
      The first idea of the CAN FD implementation started with a new struct
      canfd_frame to be used for both CAN FD frames and legacy CAN frames.
      The now mainlined implementation supports both CAN frame types simultaneously
      and distinguishes them only by their required sizes: CAN_MTU and CANFD_MTU.
      
      Only the struct canfd_frame contains a flags element which is needed for the
      additional CAN FD information. As CAN FD implicitly means that the 'Extened
      Data Length' mode is enabled the formerly defined CANFD_EDL bit became
      redundant and also confusing as an unset bit would be an error and would
      always need to be tested.
      
      This patch removes the obsolete CANFD_EDL bit and clarifies the documentation
      for the use of struct canfd_frame and the CAN FD relevant flags.

      ext4: make sure the journal sb is written in ext4_clear_journal_err() · d796c52e
      Theodore Ts'o 提交于
      After we transfer set the EXT4_ERROR_FS bit in the file system
      superblock, it's not enough to call jbd2_journal_clear_err() to clear
      the error indication from journal superblock --- we need to call
      jbd2_journal_update_sb_errno() as well.  Otherwise, when the root file
      system is mounted read-only, the journal is replayed, and the error
      indicator is transferred to the superblock --- but the s_errno field
      in the jbd2 superblock is left set (since although we cleared it in
      memory, we never flushed it out to disk).
      
      This can end up confusing e2fsck.  We should make e2fsck more robust
      in this case, but the kernel shouldn't be leaving things in this
      confused state, either.

      vfs: kill write_super and sync_supers · f0cd2dbb
      Artem Bityutskiy 提交于
      Finally we can kill the 'sync_supers' kernel thread along with the
      '->write_super()' superblock operation because all the users are gone.
      Now every file-system is supposed to self-manage own superblock and
      its dirty state.
      
      The nice thing about killing this thread is that it improves power management.
      Indeed, 'sync_supers' is a source of monotonic system wake-ups - it woke up
      every 5 seconds no matter what - even if there were no dirty superblocks and
      even if there were no file-systems using this service (e.g., btrfs and
      journalled ext4 do not need it). So it was wasting power most of the time. And
      because the thread was in the core of the kernel, all systems had to have it.
      So I am quite happy to make it go away.
      
      Interestingly, this thread is a left-over from the pdflush kernel thread which
      was a self-forking kernel thread responsible for all the write-back in old
      Linux kernels. It was turned into per-block device BDI threads, and
      'sync_supers' was a left-over. Thus, R.I.P, pdflush as well.
