2013-10-02connector: use 'size' everywhere in cn_netlink_send()Mathias Krause
We calculated the size for the netlink message buffer as size. Use size in the memcpy() call as well instead of recalculating it. Signed-off-by: Mathias Krause <minipli@googlemail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2013-10-02connector: use nlmsg_len() to check message lengthMathias Krause
The current code tests the length of the whole netlink message to be at least as long to fit a cn_msg. This is wrong as nlmsg_len includes the length of the netlink message header. Use nlmsg_len() instead to fix this "off-by-NLMSG_HDRLEN" size check. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # v2.6.14+ Signed-off-by: Mathias Krause <minipli@googlemail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2013-10-02proc connector: fix info leaksMathias Krause
Initialize event_data for all possible message types to prevent leaking kernel stack contents to userland (up to 20 bytes). Also set the flags member of the connector message to 0 to prevent leaking two more stack bytes this way.

2013-10-01pkt_sched: fq: rate limiting improvementsEric Dumazet
FQ rate limiting suffers from two problems, reported by Steinar : 1) FQ enforces a delay when flow quantum is exhausted in order to reduce cpu overhead. But if packets are small, current delay computation is slightly wrong, and observed rates can be too high. Steinar had this problem because he disabled TSO and GSO, and default FQ quantum is 2*1514. (Of course, I wish recent TSO auto sizing changes will help to not having to disable TSO in the first place) 2) maxrate was not used for forwarded flows (skbs not attached to a socket) Tested: tc qdisc add dev eth0 root est 1sec 4sec fq maxrate 8Mbit netperf -H lpq84 -l 1000 & sleep 10 ; tc -s qdisc show dev eth0 qdisc fq 8003: root refcnt 32 limit 10000p flow_limit 100p buckets 1024 quantum 3028 initial_quantum 15140 maxrate 8000Kbit Sent 16819357 bytes 11258 pkt (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0) rate 7831Kbit 653pps backlog 7570b 5p requeues 0 44 flows (43 inactive, 1 throttled), next packet delay 2977352 ns 0 gc, 0 highprio, 5545 throttled lpq83:~# tcpdump -p -i eth0 host lpq84 -c 12 09:02:52.079484 IP lpq83 > lpq84: . 1389536928:1389538376(1448) ack 3808678021 win 457 <nop,nop,timestamp 961812 572609068> 09:02:52.079499 IP lpq83 > lpq84: . 1448:2896(1448) ack 1 win 457 <nop,nop,timestamp 961812 572609068> 09:02:52.079906 IP lpq84 > lpq83: . ack 2896 win 16384 <nop,nop,timestamp 572609080 961812> 09:02:52.082568 IP lpq83 > lpq84: . 2896:4344(1448) ack 1 win 457 <nop,nop,timestamp 961815 572609071> 09:02:52.082581 IP lpq83 > lpq84: . 4344:5792(1448) ack 1 win 457 <nop,nop,timestamp 961815 572609071> 09:02:52.083017 IP lpq84 > lpq83: . ack 5792 win 16384 <nop,nop,timestamp 572609083 961815> 09:02:52.085678 IP lpq83 > lpq84: . 5792:7240(1448) ack 1 win 457 <nop,nop,timestamp 961818 572609074> 09:02:52.085693 IP lpq83 > lpq84: . 7240:8688(1448) ack 1 win 457 <nop,nop,timestamp 961818 572609074> 09:02:52.086117 IP lpq84 > lpq83: . ack 8688 win 16384 <nop,nop,timestamp 572609086 961818> 09:02:52.088792 IP lpq83 > lpq84: . 8688:10136(1448) ack 1 win 457 <nop,nop,timestamp 961821 572609077> 09:02:52.088806 IP lpq83 > lpq84: . 10136:11584(1448) ack 1 win 457 <nop,nop,timestamp 961821 572609077> 09:02:52.089217 IP lpq84 > lpq83: . ack 11584 win 16384 <nop,nop,timestamp 572609090 961821> Reported-by: Steinar H.

For instance: fsl,cksel = <0>; for using external (TSEC_TMR_CLK input) high precision timer reference clock.

2013-09-30bonding: Fix broken promiscuity reference counting issueNeil Horman
Recently grabbed this report: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1005567 Of an issue in which the bonding driver, with an attached vlan encountered the following errors when bond0 was taken down and back up: dummy1: promiscuity touches roof, set promiscuity failed. promiscuity feature of device might be broken. The error occurs because, during __bond_release_one, if we release our last slave, we take on a random mac address and issue a NETDEV_CHANGEADDR notification. With an attached vlan, the vlan may see that the vlan and bond mac address were in sync, but no longer are. This triggers a call to dev_uc_add and dev_set_rx_mode, which enables IFF_PROMISC on the bond device. Then, when we complete __bond_release_one, we use the current state of the bond flags to determine if we should decrement the promiscuity of the releasing slave. But since the bond changed promiscuity state during the release operation, we incorrectly decrement the slave promisc count when it wasn't in promiscuous mode to begin with, causing the above error Fix is pretty simple, just cache the bonding flags at the start of the function and use those when determining the need to set promiscuity. This is also needed for the ALLMULTI flag CC: Jay Vosburgh <fubar@us.ibm.com> CC: Andy Gospodarek <andy@greyhouse.net> CC: Mark Wu <wudxw@linux.vnet.ibm.com> CC: "David S.

2013-09-30tcp: TSQ can use a dynamic limitEric Dumazet
When TCP Small Queues was added, we used a sysctl to limit amount of packets queues on Qdisc/device queues for a given TCP flow. Problem is this limit is either too big for low rates, or too small for high rates. Now TCP stack has rate estimation in sk->sk_pacing_rate, and TSO auto sizing, it can better control number of packets in Qdisc/device queues. New limit is two packets or at least 1 to 2 ms worth of packets. Low rates flows benefit from this patch by having even smaller number of packets in queues, allowing for faster recovery, better RTT estimations. High rates flows benefit from this patch by allowing more than 2 packets in flight as we had reports this was a limiting factor to reach line rate. [ In particular if TX completion is delayed because of coalescing parameters ] Example for a single flow on 10Gbp link controlled by FQ/pacing 14 packets in flight instead of 2 $ tc -s -d qd qdisc fq 8001: dev eth0 root refcnt 32 limit 10000p flow_limit 100p buckets 1024 quantum 3028 initial_quantum 15140 Sent 1168459366606 bytes 771822841 pkt (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 6822476) rate 9346Mbit 771713pps backlog 953820b 14p requeues 6822476 2047 flow, 2046 inactive, 1 throttled, delay 15673 ns 2372 gc, 0 highprio, 0 retrans, 9739249 throttled, 0 flows_plimit Note that sk_pacing_rate is currently set to twice the actual rate, but this might be refined in the future when a flow is in congestion avoidance.

2013-09-30ipc,msg: prevent race with rmid in msgsnd,msgrcvDavidlohr Bueso
This fixes a race in both msgrcv() and msgsnd() between finding the msg and actually dealing with the queue, as another thread can delete shmid underneath us if we are preempted before acquiring the kern_ipc_perm.lock. Manfred illustrates this nicely: Assume a preemptible kernel that is preempted just after msq = msq_obtain_object_check(ns, msqid) in do_msgrcv(). The only lock that is held is rcu_read_lock(). Now the other thread processes IPC_RMID. When the first task is resumed, then it will happily wait for messages on a deleted queue. Fix this by checking for if the queue has been deleted after taking the lock.

2013-09-30ipc/sem.c: update sem_otime for all operationsManfred Spraul
In commit 0a2b9d4c7967 ("ipc/sem.c: move wake_up_process out of the spinlock section"), the update of semaphore's sem_otime(last semop time) was moved to one central position (do_smart_update). But since do_smart_update() is only called for operations that modify the array, this means that wait-for-zero semops do not update sem_otime anymore. The fix is simple: Non-alter operations must update sem_otime.

Recently commit bab55417b10c ("block: support embedded device command line partition") introduced CONFIG_CMDLINE_PARSER. However, that name is too generic and sounds like it enables/disables generic kernel boot arg processing, when it really is block specific. Before this option becomes a part of a full/final release, add the BLK_ prefix to it so that it is clear in absence of any other context that it is block specific.

2013-09-30mm/mlock.c: prevent walking off the end of a pagetable in no-pmd configurationVlastimil Babka
The function __munlock_pagevec_fill() introduced in commit 7a8010cd3627 ("mm: munlock: manual pte walk in fast path instead of follow_page_mask()") uses pmd_addr_end() for restricting its operation within current page table. This is insufficient on architectures/configurations where pmd is folded and pmd_addr_end() just returns the end of the full range to be walked. In this case, it allows pte++ to walk off the end of a page table resulting in unpredictable behaviour. This patch fixes the function by using pgd_addr_end() and pud_addr_end() before pmd_addr_end(), which will yield correct page table boundary on all configurations. This is similar to what existing page walkers do when walking each level of the page table. Additionaly, the patch clarifies a comment for get_locked_pte() call in the function.

2013-09-30mm: avoid reinserting isolated balloon pages into LRU listsRafael Aquini
Isolated balloon pages can wrongly end up in LRU lists when migrate_pages() finishes its round without draining all the isolated page list. The same issue can happen when reclaim_clean_pages_from_list() tries to reclaim pages from an isolated page list, before migration, in the CMA path. Such balloon page leak opens a race window against LRU lists shrinkers that leads us to the following kernel panic: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000028 IP: [<ffffffff810c2625>] shrink_page_list+0x24e/0x897 PGD 3cda2067 PUD 3d713067 PMD 0 Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP CPU: 0 PID: 340 Comm: kswapd0 Not tainted 3.12.0-rc1-22626-g4367597 #87 Hardware name: Bochs Bochs, BIOS Bochs 01/01/2011 RIP: shrink_page_list+0x24e/0x897 RSP: 0000:ffff88003da499b8 EFLAGS: 00010286 RAX: 0000000000000000 RBX: ffff88003e82bd60 RCX: 00000000000657d5 RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: 000000000000031f RDI: ffff88003e82bd40 RBP: ffff88003da49ab0 R08: 0000000000000001 R09: 0000000081121a45 R10: ffffffff81121a45 R11: ffff88003c4a9a28 R12: ffff88003e82bd40 R13: ffff88003da0e800 R14: 0000000000000001 R15: ffff88003da49d58 FS: 0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffff88003fc00000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: 00000000067d9000 CR3: 000000003ace5000 CR4: 00000000000407b0 Call Trace: shrink_inactive_list+0x240/0x3de shrink_lruvec+0x3e0/0x566 __shrink_zone+0x94/0x178 shrink_zone+0x3a/0x82 balance_pgdat+0x32a/0x4c2 kswapd+0x2f0/0x372 kthread+0xa2/0xaa ret_from_fork+0x7c/0xb0 Code: 80 7d 8f 01 48 83 95 68 ff ff ff 00 4c 89 e7 e8 5a 7b 00 00 48 85 c0 49 89 c5 75 08 80 7d 8f 00 74 3e eb 31 48 8b 80 18 01 00 00 <48> 8b 74 0d 48 8b 78 30 be 02 00 00 00 ff d2 eb RIP [<ffffffff810c2625>] shrink_page_list+0x24e/0x897 RSP <ffff88003da499b8> CR2: 0000000000000028 ---[ end trace 703d2451af6ffbfd ]--- Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception This patch fixes the issue, by assuring the proper tests are made at putback_movable_pages() & reclaim_clean_pages_from_list() to avoid isolated balloon pages being wrongly reinserted in LRU lists.

2013-09-30nilfs2: fix issue with race condition of competition between segments for ↵Vyacheslav Dubeyko
dirty blocks Many NILFS2 users were reported about strange file system corruption (for example): NILFS: bad btree node (blocknr=185027): level = 0, flags = 0x0, nchildren = 768 NILFS error (device sda4): nilfs_bmap_last_key: broken bmap (inode number=11540) But such error messages are consequence of file system's issue that takes place more earlier. Fortunately, Jerome Poulin <jeromepoulin@gmail.com> and Anton Eliasson <devel@antoneliasson.se> were reported about another issue not so recently. These reports describe the issue with segctor thread's crash: BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at 0000000000004c83 IP: nilfs_end_page_io+0x12/0xd0 [nilfs2] Call Trace: nilfs_segctor_do_construct+0xf25/0x1b20 [nilfs2] nilfs_segctor_construct+0x17b/0x290 [nilfs2] nilfs_segctor_thread+0x122/0x3b0 [nilfs2] kthread+0xc0/0xd0 ret_from_fork+0x7c/0xb0 These two issues have one reason. This reason can raise third issue too. Third issue results in hanging of segctor thread with eating of 100% CPU. REPRODUCING PATH: One of the possible way or the issue reproducing was described by Jermoe me Poulin <jeromepoulin@gmail.com>: 1. init S to get to single user mode. 2. sysrq+E to make sure only my shell is running 3. start network-manager to get my wifi connection up 4. login as root and launch "screen" 5. cd /boot/log/nilfs which is a ext3 mount point and can log when NILFS dies. 6. lscp | xz -9e > lscp.txt.xz 7. mount my snapshot using mount -o cp=3360839,ro /dev/vgUbuntu/root /mnt/nilfs 8. start a screen to dump /proc/kmsg to text file since rsyslog is killed 9. start a screen and launch strace -f -o find-cat.log -t find /mnt/nilfs -type f -exec cat {} > /dev/null \; 10. start a screen and launch strace -f -o apt-get.log -t apt-get update 11. launch the last command again as it did not crash the first time 12. apt-get crashes 13. ps aux > ps-aux-crashed.log 13. sysrq+W 14. sysrq+E wait for everything to terminate 15. sysrq+SUSB Simplified way of the issue reproducing is starting kernel compilation task and "apt-get update" in parallel. REPRODUCIBILITY: The issue is reproduced not stable [60% - 80%]. It is very important to have proper environment for the issue reproducing. The critical conditions for successful reproducing: (1) It should have big modified file by mmap() way. (2) This file should have the count of dirty blocks are greater that several segments in size (for example, two or three) from time to time during processing. (3) It should be intensive background activity of files modification in another thread. INVESTIGATION: First of all, it is possible to see that the reason of crash is not valid page address: NILFS [nilfs_segctor_complete_write]:2100 bh->b_count 0, bh->b_blocknr 13895680, bh->b_size 13897727, bh->b_page 0000000000001a82 NILFS [nilfs_segctor_complete_write]:2101 segbuf->sb_segnum 6783 Moreover, value of b_page (0x1a82) is 6786. This value looks like segment number. And b_blocknr with b_size values look like block numbers. So, buffer_head's pointer points on not proper address value.

Then, dirty blocks are gathered for every dirty file, prepared for write and submitted by means of nilfs_segbuf_submit_bh() call. Finally, it takes place complete write phase after calling nilfs_end_bio_write() on the block layer. Buffers/pages are marked as not dirty on final phase and processed files removed from the list of dirty files. It is possible to see that we had three prepare_write and submit_bio phases before segbuf_wait and complete_write phase. Moreover, segments compete between each other for dirty blocks because on every iteration of segments processing dirty buffer_heads are added in several lists of payload_buffers: [SEGMENT 6784]: bh->b_assoc_buffers.next ffff880218a0d5f8, bh->b_assoc_buffers.prev ffff880218bcdf50 [SEGMENT 6785]: bh->b_assoc_buffers.next ffff880218a0d5f8, bh->b_assoc_buffers.prev ffff880222cc7ee8 The next pointer is the same but prev pointer has changed. It means that buffer_head has next pointer from one list but prev pointer from another. Such modification can be made several times. And, finally, it can be resulted in various issues: (1) segctor hanging, (2) segctor crashing, (3) file system metadata corruption. FIX: This patch adds: (1) setting of BH_Async_Write flag in nilfs_segctor_prepare_write() for every proccessed dirty block; (2) checking of BH_Async_Write flag in nilfs_lookup_dirty_data_buffers() and nilfs_lookup_dirty_node_buffers(); (3) clearing of BH_Async_Write flag in nilfs_segctor_complete_write(), nilfs_abort_logs(), nilfs_forget_buffer(), nilfs_clear_dirty_page().

2013-09-30mm/bounce.c: fix a regression where MS_SNAP_STABLE (stable pages ↵Darrick J. Wong
snapshotting) was ignored The "force" parameter in __blk_queue_bounce was being ignored, which means that stable page snapshots are not always happening (on ext3). This of course leads to DIF disks reporting checksum errors, so fix this regression. The regression was introduced in commit 6bc454d15004 ("bounce: Refactor __blk_queue_bounce to not use bi_io_vec") Reported-by: Mel Gorman <mgorman@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Darrick J.

2013-09-30kernel/kmod.c: check for NULL in call_usermodehelper_exec()Tetsuo Handa
If /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern contains only "|", a NULL pointer dereference happens upon core dump because argv_split("") returns argv[0] == NULL. This bug was once fixed by commit 264b83c07a84 ("usermodehelper: check subprocess_info->path != NULL") but was by error reintroduced by commit 7f57cfa4e2aa ("usermodehelper: kill the sub_info->path[0] check"). This bug seems to exist since 2.6.19 (the version which core dump to pipe was added). Depending on kernel version and config, some side effect might happen immediately after this oops (e.g. kernel panic with 2.6.32-358.18.1.el6).

2013-09-30ipc/sem.c: synchronize the proc interfaceManfred Spraul
The proc interface is not aware of sem_lock(), it instead calls ipc_lock_object() directly. This means that simple semop() operations can run in parallel with the proc interface. Right now, this is uncritical, because the implementation doesn't do anything that requires a proper synchronization. But it is dangerous and therefore should be fixed.

2013-09-30ipc/sem.c: optimize sem_lock()Manfred Spraul
Operations that need access to the whole array must guarantee that there are no simple operations ongoing. Right now this is achieved by spin_unlock_wait(sem->lock) on all semaphores. If complex_count is nonzero, then this spin_unlock_wait() is not necessary, because it was already performed in the past by the thread that increased complex_count and even though sem_perm.lock was dropped inbetween, no simple operation could have started, because simple operations cannot start when complex_count is non-zero.
