kernel/watchdog: prevent false hardlockup on overloaded system

2017-06-17T04:41:57+00:00

[ Upstream commit b94f51183b0617e7b9b4fb4137d4cf1cab7547c2 ] On an overloaded system, it is possible that a change in the watchdog threshold can be delayed long enough to trigger a false positive. This can easily be achieved by having a cpu spinning indefinitely on a task, while another cpu updates watchdog threshold. What happens is while trying to park the watchdog threads, the hrtimers on the other cpus trigger and reprogram themselves with the new slower watchdog threshold. Meanwhile, the nmi watchdog is still programmed with the old faster threshold. Because the one cpu is blocked, it prevents the thread parking on the other cpus from completing, which is needed to shutdown the nmi watchdog and reprogram it correctly. As a result, a false positive from the nmi watchdog is reported. Fix this by setting a park_in_progress flag to block all lockups until the parking is complete. Fix provided by Ulrich Obergfell.

kernel/watchdog.c: move shared definitions to nmi.h

2017-06-17T04:41:57+00:00

[ Upstream commit 249e52e35580fcfe5dad53a7dcd7c1252788749c ] Patch series "Clean up watchdog handlers", v2. This is an attempt to cleanup watchdog handlers. Right now, kernel/watchdog.c implements both softlockup and hardlockup detectors. Softlockup code is generic. Hardlockup code is arch specific. Some architectures don't use hardlockup detectors. They use their own watchdog detectors. To make both these combination work, we have numerous #ifdefs in kernel/watchdog.c. We are trying here to make these handlers independent of each other. Also provide an interface for architectures to implement their own handlers. watchdog_nmi_enable and watchdog_nmi_disable will be defined as weak such that architectures can override its definitions. Thanks to Don Zickus for his suggestions. Here are our previous discussions http://www.spinics.net/lists/sparclinux/msg16543.html http://www.spinics.net/lists/sparclinux/msg16441.html This patch (of 3): Move shared macros and definitions to nmi.h so that watchdog.c, new file watchdog_hld.c or any other architecture specific handler can use those definitions.

fscache: Fix dead object requeue

2017-06-17T04:41:52+00:00

[ Upstream commit e26bfebdfc0d212d366de9990a096665d5c0209a ] Under some circumstances, an fscache object can become queued such that it fscache_object_work_func() can be called once the object is in the OBJECT_DEAD state. This results in the kernel oopsing when it tries to invoke the handler for the state (which is hard coded to 0x2). The way this comes about is something like the following: (1) The object dispatcher is processing a work state for an object. This is done in workqueue context. (2) An out-of-band event comes in that isn't masked, causing the object to be queued, say EV_KILL. (3) The object dispatcher finishes processing the current work state on that object and then sees there's another event to process, so, without returning to the workqueue core, it processes that event too. It then follows the chain of events that initiates until we reach OBJECT_DEAD without going through a wait state (such as WAIT_FOR_CLEARANCE). At this point, object->events may be 0, object->event_mask will be 0 and oob_event_mask will be 0. (4) The object dispatcher returns to the workqueue processor, and in due course, this sees that the object's work item is still queued and invokes it again. (5) The current state is a work state (OBJECT_DEAD), so the dispatcher jumps to it - resulting in an OOPS. When I'm seeing this, the work state in (1) appears to have been either LOOK_UP_OBJECT or CREATE_OBJECT (object->oob_table is fscache_osm_lookup_oob). The window for (2) is very small: (A) object->event_mask is cleared whilst the event dispatch process is underway - though there's no memory barrier to force this to the top of the function. The window, therefore is from the time the object was selected by the workqueue processor and made requeueable to the time the mask was cleared. (B) fscache_raise_event() will only queue the object if it manages to set the event bit and the corresponding event_mask bit was set. The enqueuement is then deferred slightly whilst we get a ref on the object and get the per-CPU variable for workqueue congestion. This slight deferral slightly increases the probability by allowing extra time for the workqueue to make the item requeueable. Handle this by giving the dead state a processor function and checking the for the dead state address rather than seeing if the processor function is address 0x2. The dead state processor function can then set a flag to indicate that it's occurred and give a warning if it occurs more than once per object. If this race occurs, an oops similar to the following is seen (note the RIP value): BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000002 IP: [<0000000000000002>] 0x1 PGD 0 Oops: 0010 [#1] SMP Modules linked in: ...

log2: make order_base_2() behave correctly on const input value zero

2017-06-17T04:41:51+00:00

commit 29905b52fad0854351f57bab867647e4982285bf upstream. The function order_base_2() is defined (according to the comment block) as returning zero on input zero, but subsequently passes the input into roundup_pow_of_two(), which is explicitly undefined for input zero. This has gone unnoticed until now, but optimization passes in GCC 7 may produce constant folded function instances where a constant value of zero is passed into order_base_2(), resulting in link errors against the deliberately undefined '____ilog2_NaN'. So update order_base_2() to adhere to its own documented interface. [ See http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=147672952517795&w=2 and follow-up discussion for more background. The gcc "optimization pass" is really just broken, but now the GCC trunk problem seems to have escaped out of just specially built daily images, so we need to work around it in mainline. - Linus ] Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

PCI/PM: Add needs_resume flag to avoid suspend complete optimization

commit 4d071c3238987325b9e50e33051a40d1cce311cc upstream. Some drivers - like i915 - may not support the system suspend direct complete optimization due to differences in their runtime and system suspend sequence. Add a flag that when set resumes the device before calling the driver's system suspend handlers which effectively disables the optimization. Needed by a future patch fixing suspend/resume on i915.

cpuset: consider dying css as offline

2017-06-14T13:06:00+00:00

commit 41c25707d21716826e3c1f60967f5550610ec1c9 upstream. In most cases, a cgroup controller don't care about the liftimes of cgroups. For the controller, a css becomes online when ->css_online() is called on it and offline when ->css_offline() is called. However, cpuset is special in that the user interface it exposes cares whether certain cgroups exist or not. Combined with the RCU delay between cgroup removal and css offlining, this can lead to user visible behavior oddities where operations which should succeed after cgroup removals fail for some time period. The effects of cgroup removals are delayed when seen from userland. This patch adds css_is_dying() which tests whether offline is pending and updates is_cpuset_online() so that the function returns false also while offline is pending. This gets rid of the userland visible delays.
