14 years agoipc/sem.c: optimize update_queue() for bulk wakeup calls
Manfred Spraul [Wed, 26 May 2010 21:43:40 +0000 (14:43 -0700)]
ipc/sem.c: optimize update_queue() for bulk wakeup calls

The following series of patches tries to fix the spinlock contention
reported by Chris Mason - his benchmark exposes problems of the current
code:

- In the worst case, the algorithm used by update_queue() is O(N^2).
  Bulk wake-up calls can enter this worst case.  The patch series fix
  that.

  Note that the benchmark app doesn't expose the problem, it just should
  be fixed: Real world apps might do the wake-ups in another order than
  perfect FIFO.

- The part of the code that runs within the semaphore array spinlock is
  significantly larger than necessary.

  The patch series fixes that.  This change is responsible for the main
  improvement.

- The cacheline with the spinlock is also used for a variable that is
  read in the hot path (sem_base) and for a variable that is unnecessarily
  written to multiple times (sem_otime).  The last step of the series
  cacheline-aligns the spinlock.

This patch:

The SysV semaphore code allows to perform multiple operations on all
semaphores in the array as atomic operations.  After a modification,
update_queue() checks which of the waiting tasks can complete.

The algorithm that is used to identify the tasks is O(N^2) in the worst
case.  For some cases, it is simple to avoid the O(N^2).

The patch adds a detection logic for some cases, especially for the case
of an array where all sleeping tasks are single sembuf operations and a
multi-sembuf operation is used to wake up multiple tasks.

A big database application uses that approach.

The patch fixes wakeup due to semctl(,,SETALL,) - the initial version of
the patch breaks that.

14 years agoidr: fix backtrack logic in idr_remove_all
Imre Deak [Wed, 26 May 2010 21:43:38 +0000 (14:43 -0700)]
idr: fix backtrack logic in idr_remove_all

Currently idr_remove_all will fail with a use after free error if
idr::layers is bigger than 2, which on 32 bit systems corresponds to items
more than 1024.  This is due to stepping back too many levels during
backtracking.  For simplicity let's assume that IDR_BITS=1 -> we have 2
nodes at each level below the root node and each leaf node stores two IDs.
 (In reality for 32 bit systems IDR_BITS=5, with 32 nodes at each sub-root
level and 32 IDs in each leaf node).  The sequence of freeing the nodes at
the moment is as follows:

layer
1 ->                       a(7)
2 ->            b(3)                  c(5)
3 ->        d(1)   e(2)           f(4)    g(6)

Until step 4 things go fine, but then node c is freed, whereas node g
should be freed first.  Since node c contains the pointer to node g we'll
have a use after free error at step 6.

How many levels we step back after visiting the leaf nodes is currently
determined by the msb of the id we are currently visiting:

Step
1.          node d with IDs 0,1 is freed, current ID is advanced to 2.
            msb of the current ID bit 1. This means we need to step back
            1 level to node b and take the next sibling, node e.
2-3.        node e with IDs 2,3 is freed, current ID is 4, msb is bit 2.
            This means we need to step back 2 levels to node a, freeing
            node b on the way.
4-5.        node f with IDs 4,5 is freed, current ID is 6, msb is still
            bit 2. This means we again need to step back 2 levels to node
            a and free c on the way.
6.          We should visit node g, but its pointer is not available as
            node c was freed.

The fix changes how we determine the number of levels to step back.
Instead of deducting this merely from the msb of the current ID, we should
really check if advancing the ID causes an overflow to a bit position
corresponding to a given layer.  In the above example overflow from bit 0
to bit 1 should mean stepping back 1 level.  Overflow from bit 1 to bit 2
should mean stepping back 2 levels and so on.

The fix was tested with IDs up to 1 << 20, which corresponds to 4 layers
on 32 bit systems.

No functional changes, just s/atomic_t count/int nr_threads/.

With the recent changes this counter has a single user, get_nr_threads()
And, none of its callers need the really accurate number of threads, not
to mention each caller obviously races with fork/exit.  It is only used to
report this value to the user-space, except first_tid() uses it to avoid
the unnecessary while_each_thread() loop in the unlikely case.

It is a bit sad we need a word in struct signal_struct for this, perhaps
we can change get_nr_threads() to approximate the number of threads using
signal->live and kill ->nr_threads later.

This patch adds the reference counter, sigcnt, into signal_struct.  This

reason.

Rename __cleanup_signal() to free_signal_struct() and unexport it.  With

Change __exit_signal() to not clear/free ->signal, it will be freed when

Note:
- when the last thead exits signal->tty can point to nowhere, see

- with or without this patch signal_struct->count should go away,

Neil Horman [Wed, 26 May 2010 21:42:58 +0000 (14:42 -0700)]
kmod: add init function to usermodehelper

About 6 months ago, I made a set of changes to how the core-dump-to-a-pipe
feature in the kernel works.  We had reports of several races, including
some reports of apps bypassing our recursion check so that a process that
was forked as part of a core_pattern setup could infinitely crash and
refork until the system crashed.

We fixed those by improving our recursion checks.  The new check basically
refuses to fork a process if its core limit is zero, which works well.

Unfortunately, I've been getting grief from maintainer of user space
programs that are inserted as the forked process of core_pattern.  They
contend that in order for their programs (such as abrt and apport) to
work, all the running processes in a system must have their core limits
set to a non-zero value, to which I say 'yes'.  I did this by design, and
think thats the right way to do things.

But I've been asked to ease this burden on user space enough times that I
thought I would take a look at it.  The first suggestion was to make the
recursion check fail on a non-zero 'special' number, like one.  That way
the core collector process could set its core size ulimit to 1, and enable
the kernel's recursion detection.  This isn't a bad idea on the surface,
but I don't like it since its opt-in, in that if a program like abrt or
apport has a bug and fails to set such a core limit, we're left with a
recursively crashing system again.

So I've come up with this.  What I've done is modify the
call_usermodehelper api such that an extra parameter is added, a function
pointer which will be called by the user helper task, after it forks, but
before it exec's the required process.  This will give the caller the
opportunity to get a call back in the processes context, allowing it to do
whatever it needs to to the process in the kernel prior to exec-ing the
user space code.  In the case of do_coredump, this callback is ues to set
the core ulimit of the helper process to 1.  This elimnates the opt-in
problem that I had above, as it allows the ulimit for core sizes to be set
to the value of 1, which is what the recursion check looks for in
do_coredump.

This patch:

Create new function call_usermodehelper_fns() and allow it to assign both
an init and cleanup function, as we'll as arbitrary data.

The init function is called from the context of the forked process and
allows for customization of the helper process prior to calling exec.  Its
return code gates the continuation of the process, or causes its exit.
Also add an arbitrary data pointer to the subprocess_info struct allowing
for data to be passed from the caller to the new process, and the
subsequent cleanup process

Also, use this patch to cleanup the cleanup function.  It currently takes
an argp and envp pointer for freeing, which is ugly.  Lets instead just
make the subprocess_info structure public, and pass that to the cleanup
and init routines

http://samba.org/~tridge/junkcode/aio_uid.c

This happens because check_kill_permission() doesn't permit sending a
signal to the task with the different cred->xids.  But there is not any
security reason to check ->cred's when the task sends a signal (private or
group-wide) to its sub-thread.  Whatever we do, any thread can bypass all
security checks and send SIGKILL to all threads, or it can block a signal
SIG and do kill(gettid(), SIG) to deliver this signal to another
sub-thread.  Not to mention that CLONE_THREAD implies CLONE_VM.

Change check_kill_permission() to avoid the credentials check when the
sender and the target are from the same thread group.

Also, move "cred = current_cred()" down to avoid calling get_current()
twice.

Note: David Howells pointed out we could relax this even more, the
CLONE_SIGHAND (without CLONE_THREAD) case probably does not need
these checks too.

Roland said:

14 years agocpusets: new round-robin rotor for SLAB allocations

cpusets: new round-robin rotor for SLAB allocations

We have observed several workloads running on multi-node systems where
memory is assigned unevenly across the nodes in the system.  There are
numerous reasons for this but one is the round-robin rotor in
cpuset_mem_spread_node().

For example, a simple test that writes a multi-page file will allocate
pages on nodes 0 2 4 6 ...  Odd nodes are skipped.  (Sometimes it
allocates on odd nodes & skips even nodes).

An example is shown below.  The program "lfile" writes a file consisting
of 10 pages.  The program then mmaps the file & uses get_mempolicy(...,
MPOL_F_NODE) to determine the nodes where the file pages were allocated.
The output is shown below:

# ./lfile
 allocated on nodes: 2 4 6 0 1 2 6 0 2

There is a single rotor that is used for allocating both file pages & slab
pages.  Writing the file allocates both a data page & a slab page
(buffer_head).  This advances the RR rotor 2 nodes for each page
allocated.

A quick confirmation seems to confirm this is the cause of the uneven
allocation:

# echo 0 >/dev/cpuset/memory_spread_slab
# ./lfile
 allocated on nodes: 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5

This patch introduces a second rotor that is used for slab allocations.

Basically, this patch is for fixing the bug but includes some big changes
to fix up other messes.

Now, at migrating mapped file, events happen in following sequence.

 1. allocate a new page.
 2. get memcg of an old page.
 3. charge ageinst a new page before migration. But at this point,
    no changes to new page's page_cgroup, no commit for the charge.
    (IOW, PCG_USED bit is not set.)
 4. page migration replaces radix-tree, old-page and new-page.
 5. page migration remaps the new page if the old page was mapped.
 6. Here, the new page is unlocked.
 7. memcg commits the charge for newpage, Mark the new page's page_cgroup
    as PCG_USED.

Because "commit" happens after page-remap, we can count FILE_MAPPED
at "5", because we should avoid to trust page_cgroup->mem_cgroup.
if PCG_USED bit is unset.
(Note: memcg's LRU removal code does that but LRU-isolation logic is used
 for helping it. When we overwrite page_cgroup->mem_cgroup, page_cgroup is
 not on LRU or page_cgroup->mem_cgroup is NULL.)

We can lose file_mapped accounting information at 5 because FILE_MAPPED
is updated only when mapcount changes 0->1. So we should catch it.

BTW, historically, above implemntation comes from migration-failure
of anonymous page. Because we charge both of old page and new page
with mapcount=0, we can't catch
  - the page is really freed before remap.
  - migration fails but it's freed before remap
or .....corner cases.

New migration sequence with memcg is:

 1. allocate a new page.
 2. mark PageCgroupMigration to the old page.
 3. charge against a new page onto the old page's memcg. (here, new page's pc
    is marked as PageCgroupUsed.)
 4. page migration replaces radix-tree, page table, etc...
 5. At remapping, new page's page_cgroup is now makrked as "USED"
    We can catch 0->1 event and FILE_MAPPED will be properly updated.

    And we can catch SWAPOUT event after unlock this and freeing this
    page by unmap() can be caught.

 7. Clear PageCgroupMigration of the old page.

So, FILE_MAPPED will be correctly updated.

Then, for what MIGRATION flag is ?
  Without it, at migration failure, we may have to charge old page again
  because it may be fully unmapped. "charge" means that we have to dive into
  memory reclaim or something complated. So, it's better to avoid
  charge it again. Before this patch, __commit_charge() was working for
  both of the old/new page and fixed up all. But this technique has some
  racy condtion around FILE_MAPPED and SWAPOUT etc...
  Now, the kernel use MIGRATION flag and don't uncharge old page until
  the end of migration.

I hope this change will make memcg's page migration much simpler.  This
page migration has caused several troubles.  Worth to add a flag for
simplification.

The bottom 4 hunks are atomically changing memory to which there are no

operations.

The other hunks are just atomic_read and atomic_set, and do not involve
any read-modify-write.  The use of atomic_{read,set} doesn't prevent a

memcg: move charge of file pages

This patch adds support for moving charge of file pages, which include
normal file, tmpfs file and swaps of tmpfs file.  It's enabled by setting
bit 1 of <target cgroup>/memory.move_charge_at_immigrate.

Unlike the case of anonymous pages, file pages(and swaps) in the range
mmapped by the task will be moved even if the task hasn't done page fault,
i.e.  they might not be the task's "RSS", but other task's "RSS" that maps
the same file.  And mapcount of the page is ignored(the page can be moved
even if page_mapcount(page) > 1).  So, conditions that the page/swap
should be met to be moved is that it must be in the range mmapped by the
target task and it must be charged to the old cgroup.

for sharing files.  From the look of the init process and using strings on

magic number.

I assume that this number is the same for all installations.  It's quite

14 years agogpiolib: introduce set_debounce method
Felipe Balbi [Wed, 26 May 2010 21:42:23 +0000 (14:42 -0700)]
gpiolib: introduce set_debounce method

A few architectures, like OMAP, allow you to set a debouncing time for the
gpio before generating the IRQ.  Teach gpiolib about that.

Mark said:
: This would be generally useful for embedded systems, especially where
: the interrupt concerned is a wake source.  It allows drivers to avoid
: spurious interrupts from noisy sources so if the hardware supports it
: the driver can avoid having to explicitly wait for the signal to become
: stable and software has to cope with fewer events.  We've lived without
: it for quite some time, though.

David said:
: I looked at adding debounce support to the generic GPIO calls (and thus
: gpiolib) some time back, but decided against it.  I forget why at this
: time (check list archives) but it wasn't because of lack of utility in
: certain contexts.
:
: One thing to watch out for is just how variable the hardware capabilities
: are.  Atmel GPIOs have something like a fixed number of 32K clock cycles
: for debounce, twl4030 had something odd, OMAPs were more like the Atmel
: chips but with a different clock.  In some cases debouncing had to be
: ganged, not per-GPIO.  And so forth.

- ensure DMA is unmapped only after the final DMA interrupt
- ensure a request is completed only after the final DMA interrupt
- disable controller interrupts when a request is not in progress
- remove the spin-lock protecting the start of a new request from
an unexpected interrupt because the locking was complicated and
a 'req_in_progress' flag suffices (since the spin-lock only defers
the unexpected interrupts anyway)
- instead use the spin-lock to protect the MMC interrupt handler
from the DMA interrupt handler
- remove the semaphore preventing DMA from being started while
the previous DMA is still in progress - the other changes make that
impossible, so it is now a BUG_ON condition
- ensure the controller interrupt status is clear before exiting

In general, these changes make the code safer but do not fix any specific
