RDS: fix race condition when sending a message on unbound socket

2015-11-24T22:20:09Z

Sasha's found a NULL pointer dereference in the RDS connection code when sending a message to an apparently unbound socket. The problem is caused by the code checking if the socket is bound in rds_sendmsg(), which checks the rs_bound_addr field without taking a lock on the socket. This opens a race where rs_bound_addr is temporarily set but where the transport is not in rds_bind(), leading to a NULL pointer dereference when trying to dereference 'trans' in __rds_conn_create(). Vegard wrote a reproducer for this issue, so kindly ask him to share if you're interested. I cannot reproduce the NULL pointer dereference using Vegard's reproducer with this patch, whereas I could without.

mm, page_alloc: distinguish between being unable to sleep, unwilling to sleep and avoiding waking kswapd

2015-11-07T01:50:42Z

__GFP_WAIT has been used to identify atomic context in callers that hold spinlocks or are in interrupts. They are expected to be high priority and have access one of two watermarks lower than "min" which can be referred to as the "atomic reserve". __GFP_HIGH users get access to the first lower watermark and can be called the "high priority reserve". Over time, callers had a requirement to not block when fallback options were available. Some have abused __GFP_WAIT leading to a situation where an optimisitic allocation with a fallback option can access atomic reserves. This patch uses __GFP_ATOMIC to identify callers that are truely atomic, cannot sleep and have no alternative. High priority users continue to use __GFP_HIGH. __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM identifies callers that can sleep and are willing to enter direct reclaim. __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM to identify callers that want to wake kswapd for background reclaim. __GFP_WAIT is redefined as a caller that is willing to enter direct reclaim and wake kswapd for background reclaim. This patch then converts a number of sites o __GFP_ATOMIC is used by callers that are high priority and have memory pools for those requests. GFP_ATOMIC uses this flag. o Callers that have a limited mempool to guarantee forward progress clear __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM but keep __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. bio allocations fall into this category where kswapd will still be woken but atomic reserves are not used as there is a one-entry mempool to guarantee progress. o Callers that are checking if they are non-blocking should use the helper gfpflags_allow_blocking() where possible. This is because checking for __GFP_WAIT as was done historically now can trigger false positives. Some exceptions like dm-crypt.c exist where the code intent is clearer if __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is used instead of the helper due to flag manipulations. o Callers that built their own GFP flags instead of starting with GFP_KERNEL and friends now also need to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. The first key hazard to watch out for is callers that removed __GFP_WAIT and was depending on access to atomic reserves for inconspicuous reasons. In some cases it may be appropriate for them to use __GFP_HIGH. The second key hazard is callers that assembled their own combination of GFP flags instead of starting with something like GFP_KERNEL. They may now wish to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. It's almost certainly harmless if it's missed in most cases as other activity will wake kswapd.

RDS: convert bind hash table to re-sizable hashtable

2015-11-02T20:36:23Z

To further improve the RDS connection scalabilty on massive systems where number of sockets grows into tens of thousands of sockets, there is a need of larger bind hashtable. Pre-allocated 8K or 16K table is not very flexible in terms of memory utilisation. The rhashtable infrastructure gives us the flexibility to grow the hashtbable based on use and also comes up with inbuilt efficient bucket(chain) handling.

Get rid of fast_reg page list and its construction. Instead, just pass the RDS sg list to ib_map_mr_sg and post the new ib_reg_wr. This is done both for server IW RDMA_READ registration and the client remote key registration.

IB/cma: Add support for network namespaces

2015-10-28T16:32:48Z

Add support for network namespaces in the ib_cma module. This is accomplished by: 1. Adding network namespace parameter for rdma_create_id. This parameter is used to populate the network namespace field in rdma_id_private. rdma_create_id keeps a reference on the network namespace. 2. Using the network namespace from the rdma_id instead of init_net inside of ib_cma, when listening on an ID and when looking for an ID for an incoming request. 3. Decrementing the reference count for the appropriate network namespace when calling rdma_destroy_id. In order to preserve the current behavior init_net is passed when calling from other modules.
