      sched: fix race in schedule() · 0e1f3483
      Hiroshi Shimamoto 提交于
      Fix a hard to trigger crash seen in the -rt kernel that also affects
      the vanilla scheduler.
      
      There is a race condition between schedule() and some dequeue/enqueue
      functions; rt_mutex_setprio(), __setscheduler() and sched_move_task().
      
      When scheduling to idle, idle_balance() is called to pull tasks from
      other busy processor. It might drop the rq lock. It means that those 3
      functions encounter on_rq=0 and running=1. The current task should be
      put when running.
      
      Here is a possible scenario:
      
         CPU0                               CPU1
          |                              schedule()
          |                              ->deactivate_task()
          |                              ->idle_balance()
          |                              -->load_balance_newidle()
      rt_mutex_setprio()                     |
          |                              --->double_lock_balance()
          *get lock                          *rel lock
          * on_rq=0, ruuning=1               |
          * sched_class is changed           |
          *rel lock                          *get lock
          :                                  |
                                             :
                                         ->put_prev_task_rt()
                                         ->pick_next_task_fair()
                                             => panic
      
      The current process of CPU1(P1) is scheduling. Deactivated P1, and the
      scheduler looks for another process on other CPU's runqueue because CPU1
      will be idle. idle_balance(), load_balance_newidle() and
      double_lock_balance() are called and double_lock_balance() could drop
      the rq lock. On the other hand, CPU0 is trying to boost the priority of
      P1. The result of boosting only P1's prio and sched_class are changed to
      RT. The sched entities of P1 and P1's group are never put. It makes
      cfs_rq invalid, because the cfs_rq has curr and no leaf, but
      pick_next_task_fair() is called, then the kernel panics.

      nfsd: fix oops on access from high-numbered ports · b663c6fd
      J. Bruce Fields 提交于
      This bug was always here, but before my commit 6fa02839
      ("recheck for secure ports in fh_verify"), it could only be triggered by
      failure of a kmalloc().  After that commit it could be triggered by a
      client making a request from a non-reserved port for access to an export
      marked "secure".  (Exports are "secure" by default.)
      
      The result is a struct svc_export with a reference count one too low,
      resulting in likely oopses next time the export is accessed.
      
      The reference counting here is not straightforward; a later patch will
      clean up fh_verify().
      
      Thanks to Lukas Hejtmanek for the bug report and followup.

      The comments in the definition of struct export_operations don't match the
      current members.
      
      Add a comment for the 2 new functions and remove 2 comments for unused ones.
