I was cleaning out my INBOX and found two fixes from zhangwei from a year ago that were lost in my mail. These fix an inconsistency between trace_puts() and the way trace_printk() works. The reason this is important to fix is because when trace_printk() doesn't have any arguments, it turns into a trace_puts(). Not being able to enable a stack trace against trace_printk() because it does not have any arguments is quite confusing. Also, the fix is rather trivial and low risk. While porting some changes to PowerPC I discovered that it still has the function graph tracer filter bug that if you also enable stack tracing the function graph tracer filter is ignored. I fixed that up. Finally, Martin Lau, fixed a bug that would cause readers of the ftrace ring buffer to block forever even though it was suppose to be NONBLOCK" This also includes the fix from an earlier pull request: "Oleg Nesterov fixed a memory leak that happens if a user creates a tracing instance, sets up a filter in an event, and then removes that instance.

2014-07-15ring-buffer: Fix polling on trace_pipeMartin Lau
ring_buffer_poll_wait() should always put the poll_table to its wait_queue even there is immediate data available. Otherwise, the following epoll and read sequence will eventually hang forever: 1. Put some data to make the trace_pipe ring_buffer read ready first 2. epoll_ctl(efd, EPOLL_CTL_ADD, trace_pipe_fd, ee) 3. epoll_wait() 4. read(trace_pipe_fd) till EAGAIN 5. Add some more data to the trace_pipe ring_buffer 6. epoll_wait() -> this epoll_wait() will block forever ~ During the epoll_ctl(efd, EPOLL_CTL_ADD,...) call in step 2, ring_buffer_poll_wait() returns immediately without adding poll_table, which has poll_table->_qproc pointing to ep_poll_callback(), to its wait_queue. ~ During the epoll_wait() call in step 3 and step 6, ring_buffer_poll_wait() cannot add ep_poll_callback() to its wait_queue because the poll_table->_qproc is NULL and it is how epoll works. ~ When there is new data available in step 6, ring_buffer does not know it has to call ep_poll_callback() because it is not in its wait queue. Hence, block forever. Other poll implementation seems to call poll_wait() unconditionally as the very first thing to do. For example, tcp_poll() in tcp.c.

2014-07-15tracing: Fix graph tracer with stack tracer on other archsSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
Running my ftrace tests on PowerPC, it failed the test that checks if function_graph tracer is affected by the stack tracer. It was. Looking into this, I found that the update_function_graph_func() must be called even if the trampoline function is not changed. This is because archs like PowerPC do not support ftrace_ops being passed by assembly and instead uses a helper function (what the trampoline function points to). Since this function is not changed even when multiple ftrace_ops are added to the code, the test that falls out before calling update_function_graph_func() will miss that the update must still be done.

2014-07-15ALSA: hda - Fix broken PM due to incomplete i915 initializationTakashi Iwai
When the initialization of Intel HDMI controller fails due to missing i915 kernel symbols (e.g. HD-audio is built in while i915 is module), the driver discontinues the probe. However, since the probe was done asynchronously, the driver object still remains, thus the relevant PM ops are still called at suspend/resume. This results in the bad access to the incomplete audio card object, eventually leads to Oops or stall at PM. This patch adds the missing checks of chip->init_failed flag at each PM callback in order to fix the problem above.

2014-07-14net: ppp: don't call sk_chk_filter twiceChristoph Schulz
Commit 568f194e8bd16c353ad50f9ab95d98b20578a39d ("net: ppp: use sk_unattached_filter api") causes sk_chk_filter() to be called twice when setting a PPP pass or active filter. This applies to both the generic PPP subsystem implemented by drivers/net/ppp/ppp_generic.c and the ISDN PPP subsystem implemented by drivers/isdn/i4l/isdn_ppp.c. The first call is from within get_filter(). The second one is through the call chain ppp_ioctl() or isdn_ppp_ioctl() --> sk_unattached_filter_create() --> __sk_prepare_filter() --> sk_chk_filter() The first call from within get_filter() should be deleted as get_filter() is called just before calling sk_unattached_filter_create() later on, which eventually calls sk_chk_filter() anyway. For 3.15.x, this proposed change is a bugfix rather than a pure optimization as in that branch, sk_chk_filter() may replace filter codes by other codes which are not recognized when executing sk_chk_filter() a second time. So with 3.15.x, if sk_chk_filter() is called twice, the second invocation may yield EINVAL (this depends on the filter codes found in the filter to be set, but because the replacement is done for frequently used codes, this is almost always the case). The net effect is that setting pass and/or active PPP filters does not work anymore, since sk_unattached_filter_create() always returns EINVAL due to the second call to sk_chk_filter(), regardless whether the filter was originally sane or not.

2014-07-14net: pppoe: use correct channel MTU when using Multilink PPPChristoph Schulz
The PPP channel MTU is used with Multilink PPP when ppp_mp_explode() (see ppp_generic module) tries to determine how big a fragment might be. According to RFC 1661, the MTU excludes the 2-byte PPP protocol field, see the corresponding comment and code in ppp_mp_explode(): /* * hdrlen includes the 2-byte PPP protocol field, but the * MTU counts only the payload excluding the protocol field. * (RFC1661 Section 2) */ mtu = pch->chan->mtu - (hdrlen - 2); However, the pppoe module *does* include the PPP protocol field in the channel MTU, which is wrong as it causes the PPP payload to be 1-2 bytes too big under certain circumstances (one byte if PPP protocol compression is used, two otherwise), causing the generated Ethernet packets to be dropped. So the pppoe module has to subtract two bytes from the channel MTU. This error only manifests itself when using Multilink PPP, as otherwise the channel MTU is not used anywhere. In the following, I will describe how to reproduce this bug. We configure two pppd instances for multilink PPP over two PPPoE links, say eth2 and eth3, with a MTU of 1492 bytes for each link and a MRRU of 2976 bytes. (This MRRU is computed by adding the two link MTUs and subtracting the MP header twice, which is 4 bytes long.) The necessary pppd statements on both sides are "multilink mtu 1492 mru 1492 mrru 2976". On the client side, we additionally need "plugin rp-pppoe.so eth2" and "plugin rp-pppoe.so eth3", respectively; on the server side, we additionally need to start two pppoe-server instances to be able to establish two PPPoE sessions, one over eth2 and one over eth3. We set the MTU of the PPP network interface to the MRRU (2976) on both sides of the connection in order to make use of the higher bandwidth. (If we didn't do that, IP fragmentation would kick in, which we want to avoid.) Now we send a ICMPv4 echo request with a payload of 2948 bytes from client to server over the PPP link. This results in the following network packet: 2948 (echo payload) + 8 (ICMPv4 header) + 20 (IPv4 header) --------------------- 2976 (PPP payload) These 2976 bytes do not exceed the MTU of the PPP network interface, so the IP packet is not fragmented. Now the multilink PPP code in ppp_mp_explode() prepends one protocol byte (0x21 for IPv4), making the packet one byte bigger than the negotiated MRRU. So this packet would have to be divided in three fragments. But this does not happen as each link MTU is assumed to be two bytes larger. So this packet is diveded into two fragments only, one of size 1489 and one of size 1488.

2014-07-15xfs: null unused quota inodes when quota is onDave Chinner
When quota is on, it is expected that unused quota inodes have a value of NULLFSINO. The changes to support a separate project quota in 3.12 broken this rule for non-project quota inode enabled filesystem, as the code now refuses to write the group quota inode if neither group or project quotas are enabled. This regression was introduced by commit d892d58 ("xfs: Start using pquotaino from the superblock"). In this case, we should be writing NULLFSINO rather than nothing to ensure that we leave the group quota inode in a valid state while quotas are enabled. Failure to do so doesn't cause a current kernel to break - the separate project quota inodes introduced translation code to always treat a zero inode as NULLFSINO. This was introduced by commit 0102629 ("xfs: Initialize all quota inodes to be NULLFSINO") with is also in 3.12 but older kernels do not do this and hence taking a filesystem back to an older kernel can result in quotas failing initialisation at mount time. When that happens, we see this in dmesg: [ 1649.215390] XFS (sdb): Mounting Filesystem [ 1649.316894] XFS (sdb): Failed to initialize disk quotas. [ 1649.316902] XFS (sdb): Ending clean mount By ensuring that we write NULLFSINO to quota inodes that aren't active, we avoid this problem. We have to be really careful when determining if the quota inodes are active or not, because we don't want to write a NULLFSINO if the quota inodes are active and we simply aren't updating them.

2014-07-14net: sctp: fix information leaks in ulpevent layerDaniel Borkmann
While working on some other SCTP code, I noticed that some structures shared with user space are leaking uninitialized stack or heap buffer. In particular, struct sctp_sndrcvinfo has a 2 bytes hole between .sinfo_flags and .sinfo_ppid that remains unfilled by us in sctp_ulpevent_read_sndrcvinfo() when putting this into cmsg. But also struct sctp_remote_error contains a 2 bytes hole that we don't fill but place into a skb through skb_copy_expand() via sctp_ulpevent_make_remote_error(). Both structures are defined by the IETF in RFC6458: * Section 5.3.2. SCTP Header Information Structure: The sctp_sndrcvinfo structure is defined below: struct sctp_sndrcvinfo { uint16_t sinfo_stream; uint16_t sinfo_ssn; uint16_t sinfo_flags; <-- 2 bytes hole --> uint32_t sinfo_ppid; uint32_t sinfo_context; uint32_t sinfo_timetolive; uint32_t sinfo_tsn; uint32_t sinfo_cumtsn; sctp_assoc_t sinfo_assoc_id; }; * 6.1.3. SCTP_REMOTE_ERROR: A remote peer may send an Operation Error message to its peer. This message indicates a variety of error conditions on an association. The entire ERROR chunk as it appears on the wire is included in an SCTP_REMOTE_ERROR event. Please refer to the SCTP specification [RFC4960] and any extensions for a list of possible error formats. An SCTP error notification has the following format: struct sctp_remote_error { uint16_t sre_type; uint16_t sre_flags; uint32_t sre_length; uint16_t sre_error; <-- 2 bytes hole --> sctp_assoc_t sre_assoc_id; uint8_t sre_data[]; }; Fix this by setting both to 0 before filling them out. We also have other structures shared between user and kernel space in SCTP that contains holes (e.g. struct sctp_paddrthlds), but we copy that buffer over from user space first and thus don't need to care about it in that cases. While at it, we can also remove lengthy comments copied from the draft, instead, we update the comment with the correct RFC number where one can look it up.

2014-07-15xfs: refine the allocation stack switchDave Chinner
The allocation stack switch at xfs_bmapi_allocate() has served it's purpose, but is no longer a sufficient solution to the stack usage problem we have in the XFS allocation path. Whilst the kernel stack size is now 16k, that is not a valid reason for undoing all our "keep stack usage down" modifications. What it does allow us to do is have the freedom to refine and perfect the modifications knowing that if we get it wrong it won't blow up in our faces - we have a safety net now. This is important because we still have the issue of older kernels having smaller stacks and that they are still supported and are demonstrating a wide range of different stack overflows. Red Hat has several open bugs for allocation based stack overflows from directory modifications and direct IO block allocation and these problems still need to be solved. If we can solve them upstream, then distro's won't need to bake their own unique solutions. To that end, I've observed that every allocation based stack overflow report has had a specific characteristic - it has happened during or directly after a bmap btree block split. That event requires a new block to be allocated to the tree, and so we effectively stack one allocation stack on top of another, and that's when we get into trouble. A further observation is that bmap btree block splits are much rarer than writeback allocation - over a range of different workloads I've observed the ratio of bmap btree inserts to splits ranges from 100:1 (xfstests run) to 10000:1 (local VM image server with sparse files that range in the hundreds of thousands to millions of extents). Either way, bmap btree split events are much, much rarer than allocation events. Finally, we have to move the kswapd state to the allocation workqueue work when allocation is done on behalf of kswapd. This is proving to cause significant perturbation in performance under memory pressure and appears to be generating allocation deadlock warnings under some workloads, so avoiding the use of a workqueue for the majority of kswapd writeback allocation will minimise the impact of such behaviour. Hence it makes sense to move the stack switch to xfs_btree_split() and only do it for bmap btree splits. Stack switches during allocation will be much rarer, so there won't be significant performacne overhead caused by switching stacks. The worse case stack from all allocation paths will be split, not just writeback. And the majority of memory allocations will be done in the correct context (e.g. kswapd) without causing additional latency, and so we simplify the memory reclaim interactions between processes, workqueues and kswapd. The worst stack I've been able to generate with this patch in place is 5600 bytes deep. It's very revealing because we exit XFS at: 37) 1768 64 kmem_cache_alloc+0x13b/0x170 about 1800 bytes of stack consumed, and the remaining 3800 bytes (and 36 functions) is memory reclaim, swap and the IO stack. And this occurs in the inode allocation from an open(O_CREAT) syscall, not writeback. The amount of stack being used is much less than I've previously be able to generate - fs_mark testing has been able to generate stack usage of around 7k without too much trouble; with this patch it's only just getting to 5.5k. This is primarily because the metadata allocation paths (e.g. directory blocks) are no longer causing double splits on the same stack, and hence now stack tracing is showing swapping being the worst stack consumer rather than XFS. Performance of fs_mark inode create workloads is unchanged. Performance of fs_mark async fsync workloads is consistently good with context switches reduced by around 150,000/s (30%). Performance of dbench, streaming IO and postmark is unchanged. Allocation deadlock warnings have not been seen on the workloads that generated them since adding this patch.

2014-07-15Revert "xfs: block allocation work needs to be kswapd aware"Dave Chinner
This reverts commit 1f6d64829db78a7e1d63e15c9f48f0a5d2b5a679. This commit resulted in regressions in performance in low memory situations where kswapd was doing writeback of delayed allocation blocks. It resulted in significant parallelism of the kswapd work and with the special kswapd flags meant that hundreds of active allocation could dip into kswapd specific memory reserves and avoid being throttled. This cause a large amount of performance variation, as well as random OOM-killer invocations that didn't previously exist.

As of commit f8567a3845ac05bb28f3c1b478ef752762bd39ef it is now possible to have put_reqs_available() called from irq context. While put_reqs_available() is per cpu, it did not protect itself from interrupts on the same CPU. This lead to aio_complete() corrupting the available io requests count when run under a heavy O_DIRECT workloads as reported by Robert Elliott. Fix this by disabling irq updates around the per cpu batch updates of reqs_available. Many thanks to Robert and folks for testing and tracking this down.

2014-07-13mtd: nand: reduce the warning noise when the ECC is too weakThomas Petazzoni
In commit 67a9ad9b8a6f ("mtd: nand: Warn the user if the selected ECC strength is too weak"), a check was added to inform the user when the ECC used for a NAND device is weaker than the recommended ECC advertised by the NAND chip. However, the warning uses WARN_ON(), which has two undesirable side-effects: - It just prints to the kernel log the fact that there is a warning in this file, at this line, but it doesn't explain anything about the warning itself. - It dumps a stack trace which is very noisy, for something that the user is most likely not able to fix. If a certain ECC used by the kernel is weaker than the advertised one, it's most likely to make sure the kernel uses an ECC that is compatible with the one used by the bootloader, and changing the bootloader may not necessarily be easy. Therefore, normal users would not be able to do anything to fix this very noisy warning, and will have to suffer from it at every kernel boot. At least every time I see this stack trace in my kernel boot log, I wonder what new thing is broken, just to realize that it's once again this NAND ECC warning.
