15 years agotracing: do not grab lock in wakeup latency function tracing
Steven Rostedt [Wed, 9 Sep 2009 14:36:01 +0000 (10:36 -0400)]
tracing: do not grab lock in wakeup latency function tracing

The wakeup tracer, when enabled, has its own function tracer.
It only traces the functions on the CPU where the task it is following
is on. If a task is woken on one CPU but then migrates to another CPU
before it wakes up, the latency tracer will then start tracing functions
on the other CPU.

To find which CPU the task is on, the wakeup function tracer performs
a task_cpu(wakeup_task). But to make sure the task does not disappear
it grabs the wakeup_lock, which is also taken when the task wakes up.
By taking this lock, the function tracer does not need to worry about
the task being freed as it checks its cpu.

Jan Blunck found a problem with this approach on his 32 CPU box. When
a task is being traced by the wakeup tracer, all functions take this
lock. That means that on all 32 CPUs, each function call is taking
this one lock to see if the task is on that CPU. This lock has just
serialized all functions on all 32 CPUs. Needless to say, this caused
major issues on that box. It would even lockup.

This patch changes the wakeup latency to insert a probe on the migrate task
tracepoint. When a task changes its CPU that it will run on, the
probe will take note. Now the wakeup function tracer no longer needs
to take the lock. It only compares the current CPU with a variable that
holds the current CPU the task is on. We don't worry about races since
it is OK to add or miss a function trace.

problems before too with bad interactions with the write_room() logic.
The generic USB serial driver had that problem, for example.

Now the pty layer had similar issues after being moved to the generic

instead.  That's what the n_tty layer already does for the space
expansion of tabs (XTABS), and it means that we'll now always have just

But the root of the problem lies in the fact that do_execve() path calls
tracehook_report_exec() which can stop if the tracer sets PT_TRACE_EXEC.

The tracee must not sleep in TASK_TRACED holding this mutex.  Even if we

another task doing PTRACE_ATTACH should not hang until it is killed or the

With this patch do_execve() does not use ->cred_guard_mutex directly and
we do not hold it throughout, instead:

- introduce prepare_bprm_creds() helper, it locks the mutex
  and calls prepare_exec_creds() to initialize bprm->cred.

- install_exec_creds() drops the mutex after commit_creds(),
  and thus before tracehook_report_exec()->ptrace_stop().

  or, if exec fails,

  free_bprm() drops this mutex when bprm->cred != NULL which
  indicates install_exec_creds() was not called.

page-allocator: always change pageblock ownership when anti-fragmentation is disabled

On low-memory systems, anti-fragmentation gets disabled as fragmentation
cannot be avoided on a sufficiently large boundary to be worthwhile.  Once
disabled, there is a period of time when all the pageblocks are marked
MOVABLE and the expectation is that they get marked UNMOVABLE at each call
to __rmqueue_fallback().

However, when MAX_ORDER is large the pageblocks do not change ownership
because the normal criteria are not met.  This has the effect of
prematurely breaking up too many large contiguous blocks.  This is most
serious on NOMMU systems which depend on high-order allocations to boot.
This patch causes pageblocks to change ownership on every fallback when
anti-fragmentation is disabled.  This prevents the large blocks being
prematurely broken up.

This is a fix to commit 49255c619fbd482d704289b5eb2795f8e3b7ff2e [page

dm snapshot: fix on disk chunk size validation

Fix some problems seen in the chunk size processing when activating a
pre-existing snapshot.

For a new snapshot, the chunk size can either be supplied by the creator
or a default value can be used.  For an existing snapshot, the
chunk size in the snapshot header on disk should always be used.

If someone attempts to load an existing snapshot and has the 'default
chunk size' option set, the kernel uses its default value even when it
is incorrect for the snapshot being loaded.  This patch ensures the
correct on-disk value is always used.

Secondly, when the code does use the chunk size stored on the disk it is
prudent to revalidate it, so the code can exit cleanly if it got

15 years agodm snapshot: fix header corruption race on invalidation
Mikulas Patocka [Fri, 4 Sep 2009 19:40:39 +0000 (20:40 +0100)]
dm snapshot: fix header corruption race on invalidation

If a persistent snapshot fills up, a race can corrupt the on-disk header
which causes a crash on any future attempt to activate the snapshot
(typically while booting).  This patch fixes the race.

When the snapshot overflows, __invalidate_snapshot is called, which calls
snapshot store method drop_snapshot. It goes to persistent_drop_snapshot that
calls write_header. write_header constructs the new header in the "area"
location.

Concurrently, an existing kcopyd job may finish, call copy_callback
and commit_exception method, that goes to persistent_commit_exception.
persistent_commit_exception doesn't do locking, relying on the fact that
callbacks are single-threaded, but it can race with snapshot invalidation and
overwrite the header that is just being written while the snapshot is being
invalidated.

The result of this race is a corrupted header being written that can
lead to a crash on further reactivation (if chunk_size is zero in the
corrupted header).

The fix is to use separate memory areas for each.

15 years agodm log: userspace add luid to distinguish between concurrent log instances
Jonathan Brassow [Fri, 4 Sep 2009 19:40:34 +0000 (20:40 +0100)]
dm log: userspace add luid to distinguish between concurrent log instances

Device-mapper userspace logs (like the clustered log) are
identified by a universally unique identifier (UUID).  This
identifier is used to associate requests from the kernel to
a specific log in userspace.  The UUID must be unique everywhere,
since multiple machines may use this identifier when communicating
about a particular log, as is the case for cluster logs.

Sometimes, device-mapper/LVM may re-use a UUID.  This is the
case during pvmoves, when moving from one segment of an LV
to another, or when resizing a mirror, etc.  In these cases,
a new log is created with the same UUID and loaded in the
"inactive" slot.  When a device-mapper "resume" is issued,
the "live" table is deactivated and the new "inactive" table
becomes "live".  (The "inactive" table can also be removed
via a device-mapper 'clear' command.)

The above two issues were colliding.  More than one log was being
created with the same UUID, and there was no way to distinguish
between them.  So, sometimes the wrong log would be swapped
out during the exchange.

The solution is to create a locally unique identifier,
'luid', to go along with the UUID.  This new identifier is used
to determine exactly which log is being referenced by the kernel
when the log exchange is made.  The identifier is not
universally safe, but it does not need to be, since
create/destroy/suspend/resume operations are bound to a specific
machine; and these are the operations that make up the exchange.

15 years agodm raid1: do not allow log_failure variable to unset after being set

dm raid1: do not allow log_failure variable to unset after being set

This patch fixes a bug which was triggering a case where the primary leg
could not be changed on failure even when the mirror was in-sync.

The case involves the failure of the primary device along with
the transient failure of the log device.  The problem is that
bios can be put on the 'failures' list (due to log failure)
before 'fail_mirror' is called due to the primary device failure.
Normally, this is fine, but if the log device failure is transient,
a subsequent iteration of the work thread, 'do_mirror', will
reset 'log_failure'.  The 'do_failures' function then resets
the 'in_sync' variable when processing bios on the failures list.
The 'in_sync' variable is what is used to determine if the
primary device can be switched in the event of a failure.  Since
this has been reset, the primary device is incorrectly assumed
to be not switchable.

The case has been seen in the cluster mirror context, where one
machine realizes the log device is dead before the other machines.
As the responsibilities of the server migrate from one node to
another (because the mirror is being reconfigured due to the failure),
the new server may think for a moment that the log device is fine -
thus resetting the 'log_failure' variable.

In any case, it is inappropiate for us to reset the 'log_failure'
variable.  The above bug simply illustrates that it can actually
hurt us.

The output of 'dmsetup table' includes an internal field that should not
be there.  This patch removes it.  To make the fix simpler, we first
reorder a constructor argument

The 'device size' argument is generated internally.  Currently it is
placed as the last space-separated word of the constructor string.
However, we need to use a version of the string without this word, so we
move it to the beginning instead so it is trivial to skip past it.

We keep a copy of the arguments passed to userspace for creating a log,
just in case we need to resend them.  These are the same arguments that
are desired in the STATUSTYPE_TABLE request, except for one.  When
creating the userspace log, the userspace daemon must know the size of
the mirror, so that is added to the arguments given in the constructor
table.  We were printing this extra argument out as well, which is a

tracing: remove users of tracing_reset

The function tracing_reset is deprecated for outside use of trace.c.

The new function to reset the the buffers is tracing_reset_online_cpus.

The reason for this is that resetting the buffers while the event
trace points are active can corrupt the buffers, because they may
be writing at the time of reset. The tracing_reset_online_cpus disables
writes and waits for current writers to finish.

This patch replaces all users of tracing_reset except for the latency
tracers. Those changes require more work and will be removed in the
following patches.

ring-buffer: fix ring_buffer_read crossing pages

When the ring buffer uses an iterator (static read mode, not on the
fly reading), when it crosses a page boundery, it will skip the first
entry on the next page. The reason is that the last entry of a page
is usually padding if the page is not full. The padding will not be
returned to the user.

The problem arises on ring_buffer_read because it also increments the
iterator. Because both the read and peek use the same rb_iter_peek,
the rb_iter_peak will return the padding but also increment to the next
item. This is because the ring_buffer_peek will not incerment it
itself.

The ring_buffer_read will increment it again and then call rb_iter_peek
again to get the next item. But that will be the second item, not the
first one on the page.

The reason this never showed up before, is because the ftrace utility
always calls ring_buffer_peek first and only uses ring_buffer_read
to increment to the next item. The ring_buffer_peek will always keep
the pointer to a valid item and not padding. This just hid the bug.

David S. Miller [Thu, 3 Sep 2009 09:35:20 +0000 (02:35 -0700)]
sparc64: Kill spurious NMI watchdog triggers by increasing limit to 30 seconds.

This is a compromise and a temporary workaround for bootup NMI
watchdog triggers some people see with qla2xxx devices present.

This happens when, for example:

CPU 0 is in the driver init and looping submitting mailbox commands to
load the firmware, then waiting for completion.

CPU 1 is receiving the device interrupts.  CPU 1 is where the NMI
watchdog triggers.

CPU 0 is submitting mailbox commands fast enough that by the time CPU
1 returns from the device interrupt handler, a new one is pending.
This sequence runs for more than 5 seconds.

The problematic case is CPU 1's timer interrupt running when the
barrage of device interrupts begin.  Then we have:

timer interrupt
return for softirq checking
pending, thus enable interrupts

 qla2xxx interrupt
 return
 qla2xxx interrupt
 return
 ... 5+ seconds pass
 final qla2xxx interrupt for fw load
 return

run timer softirq
return

At some point in the multi-second qla2xxx interrupt storm we trigger
the NMI watchdog on CPU 1 from the NMI interrupt handler.

The timer softirq, once we get back to running it, is smart enough to
run the timer work enough times to make up for the missed timer
interrupts.

However, the NMI watchdogs (both x86 and sparc) use the timer
interrupt count to notice the cpu is wedged.  But in the above
scenerio we'll receive only one such timer interrupt even if we last
all the way back to running the timer softirq.

The default watchdog trigger point is only 5 seconds, which is pretty
low (the softwatchdog triggers at 60 seconds).  So increase it to 30
seconds for now.

backport that work to -stable.

15 years agonet: sk_free() should be allowed right after sk_alloc()

net: sk_free() should be allowed right after sk_alloc()

After commit 2b85a34e911bf483c27cfdd124aeb1605145dc80
(net: No more expensive sock_hold()/sock_put() on each tx)
sk_free() frees socks conditionally and depends
on sk_wmem_alloc being set e.g. in sock_init_data(). But in some
cases sk_free() is called earlier, usually after other alloc errors.

Fix is to move sk_wmem_alloc initialization from sock_init_data()
to sk_alloc() itself.

15 years agoblock: Allow changing max_sectors_kb above the default 512
Nikanth Karthikesan [Tue, 1 Sep 2009 20:40:15 +0000 (22:40 +0200)]
block: Allow changing max_sectors_kb above the default 512

The patch "block: Use accessor functions for queue limits"
(ae03bf639a5027d27270123f5f6e3ee6a412781d) changed queue_max_sectors_store()
to use blk_queue_max_sectors() instead of directly assigning the value.

But blk_queue_max_sectors() differs a bit
1. It sets both max_sectors_kb, and max_hw_sectors_kb
2. Never allows one to change max_sectors_kb above BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS. If one
specifies a value greater then max_hw_sectors is set to that value but
max_sectors is set to BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS

I am not sure whether blk_queue_max_sectors() should be changed, as it seems
to be that way for a long time. And there may be callers dependent on that
behaviour.

This patch simply reverts to the older way of directly assigning the value to
max_sectors as it was before.
