      hvc_console: Fix race between hvc_close and hvc_remove · 320718ee
      Anton Blanchard 提交于
      I don't claim to understand the tty layer, but it seems like hvc_open and
      hvc_close should be balanced in their kref reference counting.
      
      Right now we get a kref every call to hvc_open:
      
              if (hp->count++ > 0) {
                      tty_kref_get(tty); <----- here
                      spin_unlock_irqrestore(&hp->lock, flags);
                      hvc_kick();
                      return 0;
              } /* else count == 0 */
      
              tty->driver_data = hp;
      
              hp->tty = tty_kref_get(tty); <------ or here if hp->count was 0
      
      But hvc_close has:
      
              tty_kref_get(tty);
      
              if (--hp->count == 0) {
      ...
                      /* Put the ref obtained in hvc_open() */
                      tty_kref_put(tty);
      ...
              }
      
              tty_kref_put(tty);
      
      Since the outside kref get/put balance we only do a single kref_put when
      count reaches 0.
      
      The patch below changes things to call tty_kref_put once for every
      hvc_close call, and with that my machine boots fine.

      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.

      hvc_console: Fix race between hvc_close and hvc_remove · e74d098c
      Amit Shah 提交于
      Alan pointed out a race in the code where hvc_remove is invoked. The
      recent virtio_console work is the first user of hvc_remove().
      
      Alan describes it thus:
      
      The hvc_console assumes that a close and remove call can't occur at the
      same time.
      
      In addition tty_hangup(tty) is problematic as tty_hangup is asynchronous
      itself....
      
      So this can happen
      
              hvc_close                               hvc_remove

      hvc_console: Remove tty->low_latency · 7f8030d1
      Hendrik Brueckner 提交于
      This patch removes the tty->low_latency setting.
      
      For irq based hvc_console backends the tty->low_latency must be set to 0,
      because the tty_flip_buffer_push() function must not be called from IRQ context
      (see drivers/char/tty_buffer.c).
      
      For polled backends, the low_latency setting causes the bug trace below, because
      tty_flip_buffer_push() is called within an atomic context and subsequent calls
      might sleep due to mutex_lock.

      hvc_console: Escape magic sysrq key · 368c1e32
      Hendrik Brueckner 提交于
      The ctrl-o (^O) is a common control key used by several applications,
      such as vim, but hvc_console uses ^O as the magic-sysrq key.  This
      commit allows users to send ^O to applications by pressing ^O twice
      in succession.
      
      To implement this, this commit introduces a check if ^O is pressed
      again if the sysrq_pressed variable is already set.  In this case,
      clear sysrq_pressed state and flip the ^O character to the tty.  (The
      old behavior has always set "sysrq_pressed" if ^O has been entered,
      and it has not flipped the ^O character to the tty.)

      drivers/char/hvc_console.c: adjust call to put_tty_driver · 2571cd6a
      Julia Lawall 提交于
      The call to put_tty_driver is out of place and is applied to the wrong
      argument.
      
      The function enclosing the patched code calls alloc_tty_driver and stores
      the result in drv.  Subsequently, there are two occurrences of error
      handling code, one making a goto to put_tty and one making a goto to
      stop_thread.  At the point of the first one the assignment hvc_driver = drv
      has not yet been executed, and from inspecting the rest of the file it
      seems that hvc_driver would be NULL.  Thus the current call to
      put_tty_driver is useless, and one applied to drv is needed.  The goto
      stop_thread is in the error handling code for a call to
      tty_register_driver, but the error cases in tty_register_driver do not free
      its argument, so it should be done here.  Thus, I have moved the put_tty
      label after the stop_thread label, so that put_tty_driver is called in both
      cases.
      
      The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows:

      hvc_console: rework setup to replace irq functions with callbacks
      introduced a spinlock recursion problem.
      
      request_irq tries to call the handler if the IRQ is shared.
      The irq handler of hvc_console calls hvc_poll and hvc_kill
      which might take the hvc_struct spinlock. Therefore, we have
      to call request_irq outside the spinlock.
      
      We can move the notifier_add safely outside the spinlock as ->data must
      not be changed by the backend. Otherwise, tty_hangup would fail anyway.

      hvc_console: rework setup to replace irq functions with callbacks · 611e097d
      Christian Borntraeger 提交于
      This patch tries to change hvc_console to not use request_irq/free_irq if
      the backend does not use irqs. This allows virtio_console to use hvc_console
      without having a linker reference to request_irq/free_irq.
      
      In addition, together with patch 2/3 it improves the performance for virtio
      console input. (an earlier version of this patch was tested by Yajin on lguest)
      
      The irq specific code is moved to hvc_irq.c and selected by the drivers that
      use irqs (System p, System i, XEN).
      
      I replaced "int irq" with the opaque "int data". The request_irq and
      free_irq calls are replaced with notifier_add and notifier_del. I have also
      changed the code a bit to call the notifier_add and notifier_del inside the
      spinlock area as the callbacks are found via hp->ops.
      
      Changes since last version:
      o remove ifdef
      o reintroduce "irq_requested" as "notified"
      o cleanups, sparse..
      
      I did not move the timer based polling into a separate polling scheme. I
      played with several variants, but it seems we need to sleep/schedule in
      a thread even for irq based consoles, as there are throttleing and buffer
      size constraints.
      
      I also kept hvc_struct defined in hvc_console.h so that hvc_irq.c can access
      the irq_requested element.
      
      Feedback is appreciated. virtio_console is currently the only available console
      for kvm on s390. I plan to push this change as soon as all affected parties
      agree on it. I would love to get test results from System p, Xen etc.

      kobject: convert hvc_console to use kref, not kobject · 12b20ded
      Greg Kroah-Hartman 提交于
      hvc_console is using a kobject only for reference counting, nothing
      else.  So switch it to use a kref instead, which is all that is needed,
      and is much smaller.

      Freezer: make kernel threads nonfreezable by default · 83144186
      Rafael J. Wysocki 提交于
      Currently, the freezer treats all tasks as freezable, except for the kernel
      threads that explicitly set the PF_NOFREEZE flag for themselves.  This
      approach is problematic, since it requires every kernel thread to either
      set PF_NOFREEZE explicitly, or call try_to_freeze(), even if it doesn't
      care for the freezing of tasks at all.
      
      It seems better to only require the kernel threads that want to or need to
      be frozen to use some freezer-related code and to remove any
      freezer-related code from the other (nonfreezable) kernel threads, which is
      done in this patch.
      
      The patch causes all kernel threads to be nonfreezable by default (ie.  to
      have PF_NOFREEZE set by default) and introduces the set_freezable()
      function that should be called by the freezable kernel threads in order to
      unset PF_NOFREEZE.  It also makes all of the currently freezable kernel
      threads call set_freezable(), so it shouldn't cause any (intentional)
      change of behaviour to appear.  Additionally, it updates documentation to
      describe the freezing of tasks more accurately.
