sched: don't cause task state changes in nested sleep debugging

2015-02-01T20:23:32Z

Commit 8eb23b9f35aa ("sched: Debug nested sleeps") added code to report on nested sleep conditions, which we generally want to avoid because the inner sleeping operation can re-set the thread state to TASK_RUNNING, but that will then cause the outer sleep loop not actually sleep when it calls schedule. However, that's actually valid traditional behavior, with the inner sleep being some fairly rare case (like taking a sleeping lock that normally doesn't actually need to sleep). And the debug code would actually change the state of the task to TASK_RUNNING internally, which makes that kind of traditional and working code not work at all, because now the nested sleep doesn't just sometimes cause the outer one to not block, but will cause it to happen every time. In particular, it will cause the cardbus kernel daemon (pccardd) to basically busy-loop doing scheduling, converting a laptop into a heater, as reported by Bruno Prémont. But there may be other legacy uses of that nested sleep model in other drivers that are also likely to never get converted to the new model. This fixes both cases: - don't set TASK_RUNNING when the nested condition happens (note: even if WARN_ONCE() only _warns_ once, the return value isn't whether the warning happened, but whether the condition for the warning was true. So despite the warning only happening once, the "if (WARN_ON(..))" would trigger for every nested sleep. - in the cases where we knowingly disable the warning by using "sched_annotate_sleep()", don't change the task state (that is used for all core scheduling decisions), instead use '->task_state_change' that is used for the debugging decision itself. (Credit for the second part of the fix goes to Oleg Nesterov: "Can't we avoid this subtle change in behaviour DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP adds?" with the suggested change to use 'task_state_change' as part of the test) Reported-and-bisected-by: Bruno Prémont Tested-by: Rafael J Wysocki Acked-by: Oleg Nesterov Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Thomas Gleixner , Cc: Ilya Dryomov , Cc: Mike Galbraith Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Peter Hurley , Cc: Davidlohr Bueso , Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

vm: add VM_FAULT_SIGSEGV handling support

2015-01-29T18:51:32Z

The core VM already knows about VM_FAULT_SIGBUS, but cannot return a "you should SIGSEGV" error, because the SIGSEGV case was generally handled by the caller - usually the architecture fault handler. That results in lots of duplication - all the architecture fault handlers end up doing very similar "look up vma, check permissions, do retries etc" - but it generally works. However, there are cases where the VM actually wants to SIGSEGV, and applications _expect_ SIGSEGV. In particular, when accessing the stack guard page, libsigsegv expects a SIGSEGV. And it usually got one, because the stack growth is handled by that duplicated architecture fault handler. However, when the generic VM layer started propagating the error return from the stack expansion in commit fee7e49d4514 ("mm: propagate error from stack expansion even for guard page"), that now exposed the existing VM_FAULT_SIGBUS result to user space. And user space really expected SIGSEGV, not SIGBUS. To fix that case, we need to add a VM_FAULT_SIGSEGV, and teach all those duplicate architecture fault handlers about it. They all already have the code to handle SIGSEGV, so it's about just tying that new return value to the existing code, but it's all a bit annoying. This is the mindless minimal patch to do this. A more extensive patch would be to try to gather up the mostly shared fault handling logic into one generic helper routine, and long-term we really should do that cleanup. Just from this patch, you can generally see that most architectures just copied (directly or indirectly) the old x86 way of doing things, but in the meantime that original x86 model has been improved to hold the VM semaphore for shorter times etc and to handle VM_FAULT_RETRY and other "newer" things, so it would be a good idea to bring all those improvements to the generic case and teach other architectures about them too.

perf: Tighten (and fix) the grouping condition

2015-01-28T12:17:35Z

The fix from 9fc81d87420d ("perf: Fix events installation during moving group") was incomplete in that it failed to recognise that creating a group with events for different CPUs is semantically broken -- they cannot be co-scheduled. Furthermore, it leads to real breakage where, when we create an event for CPU Y and then migrate it to form a group on CPU X, the code gets confused where the counter is programmed -- triggered in practice as well by me via the perf fuzzer. Fix this by tightening the rules for creating groups. Only allow grouping of counters that can be co-scheduled in the same context. This means for the same task and/or the same cpu.

quota: Switch ->get_dqblk() and ->set_dqblk() to use bytes as space units

2015-01-28T08:01:40Z

Currently ->get_dqblk() and ->set_dqblk() use struct fs_disk_quota which tracks space limits and usage in 512-byte blocks. However VFS quotas track usage in bytes (as some filesystems require that) and we need to somehow pass this information. Upto now it wasn't a problem because we didn't do any unit conversion (thus VFS quota routines happily stuck number of bytes into d_bcount field of struct fd_disk_quota). Only if you tried to use Q_XGETQUOTA or Q_XSETQLIM for VFS quotas (or Q_GETQUOTA / Q_SETQUOTA for XFS quotas), you got bogus results. Hardly anyone tried this but reportedly some Samba users hit the problem in practice. So when we want interfaces compatible we need to fix this. We bite the bullet and define another quota structure used for passing information from/to ->get_dqblk()/->set_dqblk. It's somewhat sad we have to have more conversion routines in fs/quota/quota.c and another copying of quota structure slows down getting of quota information by about 2% but it seems cleaner than overloading e.g. units of d_bcount to bytes.

ipv4: try to cache dst_entries which would cause a redirect

2015-01-27T01:28:27Z

Not caching dst_entries which cause redirects could be exploited by hosts on the same subnet, causing a severe DoS attack. This effect aggravated since commit f88649721268999 ("ipv4: fix dst race in sk_dst_get()"). Lookups causing redirects will be allocated with DST_NOCACHE set which will force dst_release to free them via RCU. Unfortunately waiting for RCU grace period just takes too long, we can end up with >1M dst_entries waiting to be released and the system will run OOM. rcuos threads cannot catch up under high softirq load. Attaching the flag to emit a redirect later on to the specific skb allows us to cache those dst_entries thus reducing the pressure on allocation and deallocation. This issue was discovered by Marcelo Leitner.
