Exofs raid engine was saving on memory space by having a single layout-info, single pid, and a single device-table, global to the filesystem. Then passing a credential and object_id info at the io_state level, private for each inode. It would also devise this contraption of rotating the device table view for each inode->ino to spread out the device usage. This is not compatible with the pnfs-objects standard, demanding that each inode can have it's own layout-info, device-table, and each object component it's own pid, oid and creds. So: Bring exofs raid engine to be usable for generic pnfs-objects use by: * Define an exofs_comp structure that holds obj_id and credential info. * Break up exofs_layout struct to an exofs_components structure that holds a possible array of exofs_comp and the array of devices + the size of the arrays. * Add a "comps" parameter to get_io_state() that specifies the ids creds and device array to use for each IO. This enables to keep the layout global, but the device-table view, creds and IDs at the inode level. It only adds two 64bit to each inode, since some of these members already existed in another form. * ios raid engine now access layout-info and comps-info through the passed pointers. Everything is pre-prepared by caller for generic access of these structures and arrays. At the exofs Level: * Super block holds an exofs_components struct that holds the device array, previously in layout. The devices there are in device-table order. The device-array is twice bigger and repeats the device-table twice so now each inode's device array can point to a random device and have a round-robin view of the table, making it compatible to previous exofs versions. * Each inode has an exofs_components struct that is initialized at load time, with it's own view of the device table IDs and creds. When doing IO this gets passed to the io_state together with the layout. While preforming this change. Bugs where found where credentials with the wrong IDs where used to access the different SB objects (super.c). As well as some dead code. It was never noticed because the target we use does not check the credentials. Signed-off-by: NBoaz Harrosh <bharrosh@panasas.com>

In future raid code we will need to know the IO offset/length and if it's a read or write to determine some of the array sizes we'll need. So add a new exofs_get_rw_state() API for use when writeing/reading. All other simple cases are left using the old way. The major change to this is that now we need to call exofs_get_io_state later at inode.c::read_exec and inode.c::write_exec when we actually know these things. So this patch is kept separate so I can test things apart from other changes. Signed-off-by: NBoaz Harrosh <bharrosh@panasas.com>

In the general raid-group case the truncate was wrong in that it did not also fix the object length of the neighboring groups. There are two bad cases in the old code: 1. Space that should be freed was not. 2. If a file That was big is truncated small, then made bigger again, the holes would not contain zeros but could expose old data. (If the growing of the file expands to more than a full groups cycle + group size (> S + T)) Signed-off-by: NBoaz Harrosh <bharrosh@panasas.com>

Since the beginning we realloced the sbi structure when a bigger then one device table was specified. (I know that was really stupid). Then much later when "register bdi" was added (By Jens) it was registering the pointer to sbi->bdi before the realloc. We never saw this problem because up till now the realloc did not do anything since the device table was small enough to fit in the original allocation. But once we starting testing with large device tables (Bigger then 28) we noticed the crash of writeback operating on a deallocated pointer. * Avoid the all mess by allocating the device-table as a second array and get rid of the variable-sized structure and the rest of this mess. * Take the chance to clean near by structures and comments. * Add a needed dprint on startup to indicate the loaded layout. * Also move the bdi registration to the very end because it will only fail in a low memory, which will probably fail before hand. There are many more likely causes to not load before that. This way the error handling is made simpler. (Just doing this would be enough to fix the BUG) Signed-off-by: NBoaz Harrosh <bharrosh@panasas.com>

exofs file system wants to use pnfs_osd_xdr.h file instead of redefining pnfs-objects types in it's private "pnfs.h" headr. Before we do the switch we must make sure pnfs_osd_xdr.h is compilable also under NFS versions smaller than 4.1. Since now it is needed regardless of version, by the exofs code. nfs4_string is not the only nfs4 type out in the global scope.

The compiler, at least for ix86 and m68k, validly warns that the comparison: next <= (loff_t)-1 is always true (and it's always true also for x86-64 and probably all other arches - as long as pgoff_t isn't wider than loff_t). The intention appears to be to avoid wrapping of "next", so rather than eliminating the pointless comparison, fix the loop to indeed get exited when "next" would otherwise wrap.

The __lock_task_sighand() function calls rcu_read_lock() with interrupts and preemption enabled, but later calls rcu_read_unlock() with interrupts disabled. It is therefore possible that this RCU read-side critical section will be preempted and later RCU priority boosted, which means that rcu_read_unlock() will call rt_mutex_unlock() in order to deboost itself, but with interrupts disabled. This results in lockdep splats, so this commit nests the RCU read-side critical section within the interrupt-disabled region of code. This prevents the RCU read-side critical section from being preempted, and thus prevents the attempt to deboost with interrupts disabled. It is quite possible that a better long-term fix is to make rt_mutex_unlock() disable irqs when acquiring the rt_mutex structure's ->wait_lock. Signed-off-by: NPaul E.

The rcu_read_unlock_special() function relies on in_irq() to exclude scheduler activity from interrupt level. This fails because exit_irq() can invoke the scheduler after clearing the preempt_count() bits that in_irq() uses to determine that it is at interrupt level. This situation can result in failures as follows: $task IRQ SoftIRQ rcu_read_lock() /* do stuff */ <preempt> |= UNLOCK_BLOCKED rcu_read_unlock() --t->rcu_read_lock_nesting irq_enter(); /* do stuff, don't use RCU */ irq_exit(); sub_preempt_count(IRQ_EXIT_OFFSET); invoke_softirq() ttwu(); spin_lock_irq(&pi->lock) rcu_read_lock(); /* do stuff */ rcu_read_unlock(); rcu_read_unlock_special() rcu_report_exp_rnp() ttwu() spin_lock_irq(&pi->lock) /* deadlock */ rcu_read_unlock_special(t); Ed can simply trigger this 'easy' because invoke_softirq() immediately does a ttwu() of ksoftirqd/# instead of doing the in-place softirq stuff first, but even without that the above happens. Cure this by also excluding softirqs from the rcu_read_unlock_special() handler and ensuring the force_irqthreads ksoftirqd/# wakeup is done from full softirq context. [ Alternatively, delaying the ->rcu_read_lock_nesting decrement until after the special handling would make the thing more robust in the face of interrupts as well. And there is a separate patch for that. ] Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Reported-and-tested-by: NEd Tomlinson <edt@aei.ca> Signed-off-by: NPeter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Signed-off-by: NPaul E.

Ensure scheduler_ipi() calls irq_{enter,exit} when it does some actual work. Traditionally we never did any actual work from the resched IPI and all magic happened in the return from interrupt path. Now that we do do some work, we need to ensure irq_{enter,exit} are called so that we don't confuse things. This affects things like timekeeping, NO_HZ and RCU, basically everything with a hook in irq_enter/exit. Explicit examples of things going wrong are: sched_clock_cpu() -- has a callback when leaving NO_HZ state to take a new reading from GTOD and TSC. Without this callback, time is stuck in the past. RCU -- needs in_irq() to work in order to avoid some nasty deadlocks Signed-off-by: NPeter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Signed-off-by: NPaul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

由 Paul E. McKenney 提交于
The addition of RCU read-side critical sections within runqueue and priority-inheritance lock critical sections introduced some deadlock cycles, for example, involving interrupts from __rcu_read_unlock() where the interrupt handlers call wake_up(). This situation can cause the instance of __rcu_read_unlock() invoked from interrupt to do some of the processing that would otherwise have been carried out by the task-level instance of __rcu_read_unlock(). When the interrupt-level instance of __rcu_read_unlock() is called with a scheduler lock held from interrupt-entry/exit situations where in_irq() returns false, deadlock can result. This commit resolves these deadlocks by using negative values of the per-task ->rcu_read_lock_nesting counter to indicate that an instance of __rcu_read_unlock() is in flight, which in turn prevents instances from interrupt handlers from doing any special processing. This patch is inspired by Steven Rostedt's earlier patch that similarly made __rcu_read_unlock() guard against interrupt-mediated recursion (see https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/7/15/326), but this commit refines Steven's approach to avoid the need for preemption disabling on the __rcu_read_unlock() fastpath and to also avoid the need for manipulating a separate per-CPU variable. This patch avoids need for preempt_disable() by instead using negative values of the per-task ->rcu_read_lock_nesting counter. Note that nested rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock() pairs are still permitted, but they will never see ->rcu_read_lock_nesting go to zero, and will therefore never invoke rcu_read_unlock_special(), thus preventing them from seeing the RCU_READ_UNLOCK_BLOCKED bit should it be set in ->rcu_read_unlock_special. This patch also adds a check for ->rcu_read_unlock_special being negative in rcu_check_callbacks(), thus preventing the RCU_READ_UNLOCK_NEED_QS bit from being set should a scheduling-clock interrupt occur while __rcu_read_unlock() is exiting from an outermost RCU read-side critical section. Of course, __rcu_read_unlock() can be preempted during the time that ->rcu_read_lock_nesting is negative. This could result in the setting of the RCU_READ_UNLOCK_BLOCKED bit after __rcu_read_unlock() checks it, and would also result it this task being queued on the corresponding rcu_node structure's blkd_tasks list. Therefore, some later RCU read-side critical section would enter rcu_read_unlock_special() to clean up -- which could result in deadlock if that critical section happened to be in the scheduler where the runqueue or priority-inheritance locks were held. This situation is dealt with by making rcu_preempt_note_context_switch() check for negative ->rcu_read_lock_nesting, thus refraining from queuing the task (and from setting RCU_READ_UNLOCK_BLOCKED) if we are already exiting from the outermost RCU read-side critical section (in other words, we really are no longer actually in that RCU read-side critical section). In addition, rcu_preempt_note_context_switch() invokes rcu_read_unlock_special() to carry out the cleanup in this case, which clears out the ->rcu_read_unlock_special bits and dequeues the task (if necessary), in turn avoiding needless delay of the current RCU grace period and needless RCU priority boosting. It is still illegal to call rcu_read_unlock() while holding a scheduler lock if the prior RCU read-side critical section has ever had either preemption or irqs enabled. However, the common use case is legal, namely where then entire RCU read-side critical section executes with irqs disabled, for example, when the scheduler lock is held across the entire lifetime of the RCU read-side critical section.

Allow for sched_domain spans that overlap by giving such domains their own sched_group list instead of sharing the sched_groups amongst each-other. This is needed for machines with more than 16 nodes, because sched_domain_node_span() will generate a node mask from the 16 nearest nodes without regard if these masks have any overlap. Currently sched_domains have a sched_group that maps to their child sched_domain span, and since there is no overlap we share the sched_group between the sched_domains of the various CPUs. If however there is overlap, we would need to link the sched_group list in different ways for each cpu, and hence sharing isn't possible. In order to solve this, allocate private sched_groups for each CPU's sched_domain but have the sched_groups share a sched_group_power structure such that we can uniquely track the power.

I'm running a workload which triggers a lot of swap in a machine with 4 nodes. After I kill the workload, I found a kswapd livelock. Sometimes kswapd3 or kswapd2 are keeping running and I can't access filesystem, but most memory is free. This looks like a regression since commit 08951e54 ("mm: vmscan: correct check for kswapd sleeping in sleeping_prematurely"). Node 2 and 3 have only ZONE_NORMAL, but balance_pgdat() will return 0 for classzone_idx. The reason is end_zone in balance_pgdat() is 0 by default, if all zones have watermark ok, end_zone will keep 0. Later sleeping_prematurely() always returns true. Because this is an order 3 wakeup, and if classzone_idx is 0, both balanced_pages and present_pages in pgdat_balanced() are 0. We add a special case here. If a zone has no page, we think it's balanced. This fixes the livelock.

The RCU_BOOST commits for TREE_PREEMPT_RCU introduced an other-task write to a new RCU_READ_UNLOCK_BOOSTED bit in the task_struct structure's ->rcu_read_unlock_special field, but, as noted by Steven Rostedt, without correctly synchronizing all accesses to ->rcu_read_unlock_special. This could result in bits in ->rcu_read_unlock_special being spuriously set and cleared due to conflicting accesses, which in turn could result in deadlocks between the rcu_node structure's ->lock and the scheduler's rq and pi locks. These deadlocks would result from RCU incorrectly believing that the just-ended RCU read-side critical section had been preempted and/or boosted. If that RCU read-side critical section was executed with either rq or pi locks held, RCU's ensuing (incorrect) calls to the scheduler would cause the scheduler to attempt to once again acquire the rq and pi locks, resulting in deadlock. More complex deadlock cycles are also possible, involving multiple rq and pi locks as well as locks from multiple rcu_node structures. This commit fixes synchronization by creating ->rcu_boosted field in task_struct that is accessed and modified only when holding the ->lock in the rcu_node structure on which the task is queued (on that rcu_node structure's ->blkd_tasks list). This results in tasks accessing only their own current->rcu_read_unlock_special fields, making unsynchronized access once again legal, and keeping the rcu_read_unlock() fastpath free of atomic instructions and memory barriers. The reason that the rcu_read_unlock() fastpath does not need to access the new current->rcu_boosted field is that this new field cannot be non-zero unless the RCU_READ_UNLOCK_BLOCKED bit is set in the current->rcu_read_unlock_special field. Therefore, rcu_read_unlock() need only test current->rcu_read_unlock_special: if that is zero, then current->rcu_boosted must also be zero. This bug does not affect TINY_PREEMPT_RCU because this implementation of RCU accesses current->rcu_read_unlock_special with irqs disabled, thus preventing races on the !SMP systems that TINY_PREEMPT_RCU runs on.

PREEMPT_RCU read-side critical sections blocking an expedited grace period invoke rcu_report_exp_rnp(). When the last such critical section has completed, rcu_report_exp_rnp() invokes the scheduler to wake up the task that invoked synchronize_rcu_expedited() -- needlessly holding the root rcu_node structure's lock while doing so, thus needlessly providing a way for RCU and the scheduler to deadlock. This commit therefore releases the root rcu_node structure's lock before calling wake_up(). Reported-by: NEd Tomlinson <edt@aei.ca> Signed-off-by: NPaul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

open(2) must always include one of O_RDONLY, O_WRONLY, or O_RDWR. No need for any O_APPEND special case. Passing O_WRONLY|O_RDWR is undefined according to the man page, but the Linux VFS interprets this as O_RDWR, so we'll do the same. This fixes open(2) with flags O_RDWR|O_APPEND, which was incorrectly being translated to readonly. Reported-by: NFyodor Ustinov <ufm@ufm.su> Signed-off-by: NSage Weil <sage@newdream.net>
