doing this quite correctly.  In particular, changes to efx_nic::state
are documented as serialised by the RTNL lock, but they aren't.

1. We check whether a reset was requested during probe (suggesting
broken hardware) before we allow requested resets to be scheduled.
This leaves a window where a requested reset would be deferred
indefinitely.

2. Although we cancel the reset work item during device removal,
there are still later operations that can cause it to be scheduled
again.  We need to check the state before scheduling it.

3. Since the state can change between scheduling and running of
the work item, we still need to check it there, and we need to
do so *after* acquiring the RTNL lock which serialises state
changes.

4. We must cancel the reset work item during device removal, if the
state could ever have been READY.  This wasn't done in some of the

12 years agonet: Set device operstate at registration time
Ben Hutchings [Mon, 20 Aug 2012 21:16:51 +0000 (22:16 +0100)]
net: Set device operstate at registration time

The operstate of a device is initially IF_OPER_UNKNOWN and is updated
asynchronously by linkwatch after each change of carrier state
reported by the driver.  The default carrier state of a net device is
on, and this will never be changed on drivers that do not support
carrier detection, thus the operstate remains IF_OPER_UNKNOWN.

For devices that do support carrier detection, the driver must set the
carrier state to off initially, then poll the hardware state when the
device is opened.  However, we must not activate linkwatch for a
unregistered device, and commit b473001 ('net: Do not fire linkwatch
events until the device is registered.') ensured that we don't.  But
this means that the operstate for many devices that support carrier
detection remains IF_OPER_UNKNOWN when it should be IF_OPER_DOWN.

The same issue exists with the dormant state.

The proper initialisation sequence, avoiding a race with opening of
the device, is:

        rtnl_lock();
        rc = register_netdevice(dev);
        if (rc)
                goto out_unlock;
        netif_carrier_off(dev); /* or netif_dormant_on(dev) */
        rtnl_unlock();

but it seems silly that this should have to be repeated in so many
drivers.  Further, the operstate seen immediately after opening the
device may still be IF_OPER_UNKNOWN due to the asynchronous nature of
linkwatch.

Commit 22604c8 ('net: Fix for initial link state in 2.6.28') attempted
to fix this by setting the operstate synchronously, but it was
reverted as it could lead to deadlock.

This initialises the operstate synchronously at registration time
only.

batman-adv: detect not yet announced clients

With the current TT mechanism a new client joining the network is not
immediately able to communicate with other hosts because its MAC address has not
been announced yet. This situation holds until the first OGM containing its
joining event will be spread over the mesh network.

This behaviour can be acceptable in networks where the originator interval is a
small value (e.g. 1sec) but if that value is set to an higher time (e.g. 5secs)
the client could suffer from several malfunctions like DHCP client timeouts,
etc.

This patch adds an early detection mechanism that makes nodes in the network
able to recognise "not yet announced clients" by means of the broadcast packets
they emitted on connection (e.g. ARP or DHCP request). The added client will
then be confirmed upon receiving the OGM claiming it or purged if such OGM
is not received within a fixed amount of time.

In patch eea68e2f (packet: Report socket mclist info via diag module) I've
introduced a "scheduling in atomic" problem in packet diag module -- the
socket list is traversed under rcu_read_lock() while performed under it sk
mclist access requires rtnl lock (i.e. -- mutex) to be taken.

mutex and pgvec mutex for rings) :(

Apart from being terribly sorry for the above, I propose to change the packet
sk list protection from spinlock to mutex. This lock currently protects two
modifications:

* sklist
* prot inuse counters

The sklist modifications can be just reprotected with mutex since they already
occur in a sleeping context. The inuse counters modifications are trickier -- the
__this_cpu_-s are used inside, thus requiring the caller to handle the potential
issues with contexts himself. Since packet sockets' counters are modified in two
places only (packet_create and packet_release) we only need to protect the context
from being preempted. BH disabling is not required in this case.

bonding: support for IPv6 transmit hashing

Currently the "bonding" driver does not support load balancing outgoing
traffic in LACP mode for IPv6 traffic. IPv4 (and TCP or UDP over IPv4)
are currently supported; this patch adds transmit hashing for IPv6 (and
TCP or UDP over IPv6), bringing IPv6 up to par with IPv4 support in the
bonding driver. In addition, bounds checking has been added to all
transmit hashing functions.

The algorithm chosen (xor'ing the bottom three quads of the source and
destination addresses together, then xor'ing each byte of that result into
the bottom byte, finally xor'ing with the last bytes of the MAC addresses)
was selected after testing almost 400,000 unique IPv6 addresses harvested
from server logs. This algorithm had the most even distribution for both
big- and little-endian architectures while still using few instructions. Its
behavior also attempts to closely match that of the IPv4 algorithm.

The IPv6 flow label was intentionally not included in the hash as it appears
to be unset in the vast majority of IPv6 traffic sampled, and the current
algorithm not using the flow label already offers a very even distribution.

Fragmented IPv6 packets are handled the same way as fragmented IPv4 packets,
ie, they are not balanced based on layer 4 information. Additionally,
IPv6 packets with intermediate headers are not balanced based on layer
4 information. In practice these intermediate headers are not common and
this should not cause any problems, and the alternative (a packet-parsing
loop and look-up table) seemed slow and complicated for little gain.

netfilter: remove unnecessary goto statement for error recovery

Usually it's a good practice to use goto statement for error recovery
when initializing the module. This approach could be an overkill if:

 1) there is only one fail case;
 2) success and failure use the same return statement.

For a cleaner approach, remove the unnecessary goto statement and
directly implement error recovery.

12 years agomm: compaction: Abort async compaction if locks are contended or taking too long
Mel Gorman [Tue, 21 Aug 2012 23:16:17 +0000 (16:16 -0700)]
mm: compaction: Abort async compaction if locks are contended or taking too long

Jim Schutt reported a problem that pointed at compaction contending
heavily on locks.  The workload is straight-forward and in his own words;

The systems in question have 24 SAS drives spread across 3 HBAs,
running 24 Ceph OSD instances, one per drive.  FWIW these servers
are dual-socket Intel 5675 Xeons w/48 GB memory.  I've got ~160
Ceph Linux clients doing dd simultaneously to a Ceph file system
backed by 12 of these servers.

Early in the test everything looks fine

There was other data but primarily it is all showing that compaction is
contended heavily on the zone->lock and zone->lru_lock.

commit [b2eef8c0: mm: compaction: minimise the time IRQs are disabled
while isolating pages for migration] noted that it was possible for
migration to hold the lru_lock for an excessive amount of time. Very
broadly speaking this patch expands the concept.

This patch introduces compact_checklock_irqsave() to check if a lock
is contended or the process needs to be scheduled. If either condition
is true then async compaction is aborted and the caller is informed.
The page allocator will fail a THP allocation if compaction failed due
to contention. This patch also introduces compact_trylock_irqsave()
which will acquire the lock only if it is not contended and the process
does not need to schedule.

12 years agomm: have order > 0 compaction start near a pageblock with free pages
Mel Gorman [Tue, 21 Aug 2012 23:16:15 +0000 (16:16 -0700)]
mm: have order > 0 compaction start near a pageblock with free pages

Commit 7db8889ab05b ("mm: have order > 0 compaction start off where it
left") introduced a caching mechanism to reduce the amount work the free
page scanner does in compaction.  However, it has a problem.  Consider
two process simultaneously scanning free pages

     C
Process A M     S      F
|---------------------------------------|
Process B M  FS

C is zone->compact_cached_free_pfn
S is cc->start_pfree_pfn
M is cc->migrate_pfn
F is cc->free_pfn

In this diagram, Process A has just reached its migrate scanner, wrapped
around and updated compact_cached_free_pfn accordingly.

Simultaneously, Process B finishes isolating in a block and updates
compact_cached_free_pfn again to the location of its free scanner.

Process A moves to "end_of_zone - one_pageblock" and runs this check

                if (cc->order > 0 && (!cc->wrapped ||
                                      zone->compact_cached_free_pfn >
                                      cc->start_free_pfn))
                        pfn = min(pfn, zone->compact_cached_free_pfn);

compact_cached_free_pfn is above where it started so the free scanner
skips almost the entire space it should have scanned.  When there are
multiple processes compacting it can end in a situation where the entire
zone is not being scanned at all.  Further, it is possible for two
processes to ping-pong update to compact_cached_free_pfn which is just
random.

Overall, the end result wrecks allocation success rates.

There is not an obvious way around this problem without introducing new
locking and state so this patch takes a different approach.

First, it gets rid of the skip logic because it's not clear that it
matters if two free scanners happen to be in the same block but with
racing updates it's too easy for it to skip over blocks it should not.

Second, it updates compact_cached_free_pfn in a more limited set of
circumstances.

If a scanner has wrapped, it updates compact_cached_free_pfn to the end
of the zone. When a wrapped scanner isolates a page, it updates
compact_cached_free_pfn to point to the highest pageblock it
can isolate pages from.

If a scanner has not wrapped when it has finished isolated pages it
checks if compact_cached_free_pfn is pointing to the end of the
zone. If so, the value is updated to point to the highest
pageblock that pages were isolated from. This value will not
be updated again until a free page scanner wraps and resets
compact_cached_free_pfn.

This is not optimal and it can still race but the compact_cached_free_pfn
will be pointing to or very near a pageblock with free pages.

  Here's the reason why: RS5C348_BIT_PM is 32, and is - stupidly -
  included in the RS5C348_HOURS_MASK define.  So it's really subtracting
  out that bit to get "hour+12".  But then because it does things modulo
  12, it needs to add the 12 in again afterwards anyway.

  This code is confused.  It would be much clearer if RS5C348_HOURS_MASK
  just didn't include the RS5C348_BIT_PM bit at all, then it wouldn't
  need to do the silly subtract either.

  Whatever. It's all just math, the end result is the same.   - Linus ]

12 years agomm: correct page->pfmemalloc to fix deactivate_slab regression

mm: correct page->pfmemalloc to fix deactivate_slab regression

Commit cfd19c5a9ecf ("mm: only set page->pfmemalloc when
ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS was used") tried to narrow down page->pfmemalloc
setting, but it missed some places the pfmemalloc should be set.

So, in __slab_alloc, the unalignment pfmemalloc and ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS
cause incorrect deactivate_slab() on our core2 server:

    64.73%           fio  [kernel.kallsyms]     [k] _raw_spin_lock

                        |          __slab_alloc
                        |          kmem_cache_alloc
                        |          |

That causes our fio sync write performance to have a 40% regression.

Move the checking in get_page_from_freelist() which resolves this issue.

Michal Hocko [Tue, 21 Aug 2012 23:15:52 +0000 (16:15 -0700)]
mm: hugetlbfs: correctly populate shared pmd

Each page mapped in a process's address space must be correctly
accounted for in _mapcount.  Normally the rules for this are
straightforward but hugetlbfs page table sharing is different.  The page
table pages at the PMD level are reference counted while the mapcount
remains the same.

If this accounting is wrong, it causes bugs like this one reported by
Larry Woodman:

During fork(), copy_hugetlb_page_range() detects if huge_pte_alloc()
shared page tables with the check dst_pte == src_pte.  The logic is if
the PMD page is the same, they must be shared.  This assumes that the
sharing is between the parent and child.  However, if the sharing is
with a different process entirely then this check fails as in this
diagram:

  parent
    |
    ------------>pmd
                 src_pte----------> data page
                                        ^
  other--------->pmd--------------------|
                  ^
  child-----------|
                 dst_pte

For this situation to occur, it must be possible for Parent and Other to
have faulted and failed to share page tables with each other.  This is
possible due to the following style of race.

  PROC A                                          PROC B
  copy_hugetlb_page_range                         copy_hugetlb_page_range
    src_pte == huge_pte_offset                      src_pte == huge_pte_offset
    !src_pte so no sharing                          !src_pte so no sharing

  (time passes)

  hugetlb_fault                                   hugetlb_fault
    huge_pte_alloc                                  huge_pte_alloc
      huge_pmd_share                                 huge_pmd_share
        LOCK(i_mmap_mutex)
        find nothing, no sharing
        UNLOCK(i_mmap_mutex)
                                                      LOCK(i_mmap_mutex)
                                                      find nothing, no sharing
                                                      UNLOCK(i_mmap_mutex)
      pmd_alloc                                       pmd_alloc
      LOCK(instantiation_mutex)
      fault
      UNLOCK(instantiation_mutex)
                                                  LOCK(instantiation_mutex)
                                                  fault
                                                  UNLOCK(instantiation_mutex)

These two processes are not poing to the same data page but are not
sharing page tables because the opportunity was missed.  When either
process later forks, the src_pte == dst pte is potentially insufficient.
As the check falls through, the wrong PTE information is copied in
(harmless but wrong) and the mapcount is bumped for a page mapped by a
shared page table leading to the BUG_ON.

This patch addresses the issue by moving pmd_alloc into huge_pmd_share
which guarantees that the shared pud is populated in the same critical
section as pmd.  This also means that huge_pte_offset test in
huge_pmd_share is serialized correctly now which in turn means that the
success of the sharing will be higher as the racing tasks see the pud
and pmd populated together.

Race identified and changelog written mostly by Mel Gorman.

mm: change nr_ptes BUG_ON to WARN_ON

that not all the page tables allocated could be found and freed when
exit_mmap() tore down the user address space.

There's usually nothing we can say about it, beyond that it's probably a
sign of some bad memory or memory corruption; though it might still
indicate a bug in vma or page table management (and did recently reveal a
race in THP, fixed a few months ago).

But one overdue change we can make is from BUG_ON to WARN_ON.

It's fairly likely that the system will crash shortly afterwards in some
other way (for example, the BUG_ON(page_mapped(page)) in
__delete_from_page_cache(), once an inode mapped into the lost page tables
gets evicted); but might tell us more before that.

Change the BUG_ON(page_mapped) to WARN_ON too?  Later perhaps: I'm less
eager, since that one has several times led to fixes.

[ 2866.310254] BUG TCP (Not tainted): Object already free
[ 2866.310254] -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ 2866.310254]

The bug comes from the fact that timer set in sk_reset_timer() can run
before we actually do the sock_hold(). socket refcount reaches zero and
we free the socket too soon.

timer handler is not allowed to reduce socket refcnt if socket is owned
by the user, or we need to change sk_reset_timer() implementation.

We should take a reference on the socket in case TCP_DELACK_TIMER_DEFERRED
or TCP_DELACK_TIMER_DEFERRED bit are set in tsq_flags

Also fix a typo in tcp_delack_timer(), where TCP_WRITE_TIMER_DEFERRED
was used instead of TCP_DELACK_TIMER_DEFERRED.

For consistency, use same socket refcount change for TCP_MTU_REDUCED_DEFERRED,
even if not fired from a timer.
