*: convert stream-like files from nonseekable_open -> stream_open

2019-05-06T14:46:41+00:00

Using scripts/coccinelle/api/stream_open.cocci added in 10dce8af3422 ("fs: stream_open - opener for stream-like files so that read and write can run simultaneously without deadlock"), search and convert to stream_open all in-kernel nonseekable_open users for which read and write actually do not depend on ppos and where there is no other methods in file_operations which assume @offset access. I've verified each generated change manually - that it is correct to convert - and each other nonseekable_open instance left - that it is either not correct to convert there, or that it is not converted due to current stream_open.cocci limitations. The script also does not convert files that should be valid to convert, but that currently have .llseek = noop_llseek or generic_file_llseek for unknown reason despite file being opened with nonseekable_open (e.g. drivers/input/mousedev.c) Among cases converted 14 were potentially vulnerable to read vs write deadlock (see details in 10dce8af3422): drivers/char/pcmcia/cm4000_cs.c:1685:7-23: ERROR: cm4000_fops: .read() can deadlock .write();

watchdog: core: fix null pointer dereference when releasing cdev

watchdog_stop() calls watchdog_update_worker() which needs a valid wdd->wd_data pointer. So, when unregistering the cdev, clear the pointers after we call watchdog_stop(), not before.

watchdog: core: make sure the watchdog_worker is not deferred

2018-01-21T11:44:59+00:00

commit 4cd13c21b207e ("softirq: Let ksoftirqd do its job") has the effect of deferring timer handling in case of high CPU load, hence delaying the delayed work allthought the worker is running which high realtime priority. As hrtimers are not managed by softirqs, this patch replaces the delayed work by a plain work and uses an hrtimer to schedule that work.

watchdog: core: make sure the watchdog worker always works

2017-12-28T19:45:57+00:00

When running a command like 'chrt -f 50 dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null', the watchdog_worker fails to service the HW watchdog and the HW watchdog fires long before the watchdog soft timeout. At the moment, the watchdog_worker is invoked as a delayed work. Delayed works are handled by non realtime kernel threads. The WQ_HIGHPRI flag only increases the niceness of that threads. This patch replaces the delayed work logic by kthread delayed work, and sets the associated kernel task to SCHED_FIFO with the highest priority, in order to ensure that the watchdog worker will run as soon as possible.

watchdog: Fix kref imbalance seen if handle_boot_enabled=0

2017-12-17T10:01:48+00:00

If handle_boot_enabled is set to 0, the watchdog driver module use counter will not be increased and kref_get() will not be called when registering the watchdog. Subsequently, on open, this does not happen either because the code believes that it was already done because the hardware watchdog is marked as running. We could introduce a state variable to indicate this state, but let's just increase the module use counter and call kref_get() unconditionally if the hardware watchdog is running when a driver is registering itself to keep the code simple.

watchdog: Fix potential kref imbalance when opening watchdog

2017-12-17T10:01:47+00:00

If a watchdog driver's open function sets WDOG_HW_RUNNING with the expectation that the watchdog can not be stopped, but then stops the watchdog anyway in its stop function, kref_get() wil not be called in watchdog_open(). If the watchdog then stops on close, WDOG_HW_RUNNING will be cleared and kref_put() will be called, causing a kref imbalance. As result the character device data structure will be released, which in turn will cause the system to crash on the next call to watchdog_open().

watchdog: core: add option to avoid early handling of watchdog

2017-06-05T18:55:17+00:00

On some systems its desirable to have watchdog reboot the system when it does not come up fast enough. This adds a kernel parameter to disable the auto-update of watchdog before userspace takes over and a kernel option to set the default. The info messages were added to shorten error searching on misconfigured systems.
