      pipe: use exclusive waits when reading or writing · 0ddad21d
      Linus Torvalds authored
      This makes the pipe code use separate wait-queues and exclusive waiting
      for readers and writers, avoiding a nasty thundering herd problem when
      there are lots of readers waiting for data on a pipe (or, less commonly,
      lots of writers waiting for a pipe to have space).
      
      While this isn't a common occurrence in the traditional "use a pipe as a
      data transport" case, where you typically only have a single reader and
      a single writer process, there is one common special case: using a pipe
      as a source of "locking tokens" rather than for data communication.
      
      In particular, the GNU make jobserver code ends up using a pipe as a way
      to limit parallelism, where each job consumes a token by reading a byte
      from the jobserver pipe, and releases the token by writing a byte back
      to the pipe.
      
      This pattern is fairly traditional on Unix, and works very well, but
      will waste a lot of time waking up a lot of processes when only a single
      reader needs to be woken up when a writer releases a new token.
      
      A simplified test-case of just this pipe interaction is to create 64
      processes, and then pass a single token around between them (this
      test-case also intentionally passes another token that gets ignored to
      test the "wake up next" logic too, in case anybody wonders about it):
      
          #include <unistd.h>
      
          int main(int argc, char **argv)
          {
              int fd[2], counters[2];
      
              pipe(fd);
              counters[0] = 0;
              counters[1] = -1;
              write(fd[1], counters, sizeof(counters));
      
              /* 64 processes */
              fork(); fork(); fork(); fork(); fork(); fork();
      
              do {
                      int i;
                      read(fd[0], &i, sizeof(i));
                      if (i < 0)
                              continue;
                      counters[0] = i+1;
                      write(fd[1], counters, (1+(i & 1)) *sizeof(int));
              } while (counters[0] < 1000000);
              return 0;
          }
      
      and in a perfect world, passing that token around should only cause one
      context switch per transfer, when the writer of a token causes a
      directed wakeup of just a single reader.
      
      But with the "writer wakes all readers" model we traditionally had, on
      my test box the above case causes more than an order of magnitude more
      scheduling: instead of the expected ~1M context switches, "perf stat"
      shows

      instead. Much better.
      
      [ Note! This kernel improvement seems to be very good at triggering a
        race condition in the make jobserver (in GNU make 4.2.1) for me. It's
        a long known bug that was fixed back in June 2017 by GNU make commit
        b552b0525198 ("[SV 51159] Use a non-blocking read with pselect to
        avoid hangs.").
      
        But there wasn't a new release of GNU make until 4.3 on Jan 19 2020,
        so a number of distributions may still have the buggy version. Some
        have backported the fix to their 4.2.1 release, though, and even
        without the fix it's quite timing-dependent whether the bug actually
        is hit. ]

       "I've been hammering on your pipe fix patch (switching to exclusive
        wait queues) for a month or so, on several different systems, and I've
        run into no issues with it. The patch *substantially* improves
        parallel build times on large (~100 CPU) systems, both with parallel
        make and with other things that use make's pipe-based jobserver.
      
        All current distributions (including stable and long-term stable
        distributions) have versions of GNU make that no longer have the
        jobserver bug"

      Wenwen Wang authored
      In fs_open(), 'vcc' is allocated through kmalloc() and assigned to
      'atm_vcc->dev_data.' In the following execution, if an error occurs, e.g.,
      there is no more free channel, an error code EBUSY or ENOMEM will be
      returned. However, 'vcc' is not deallocated, leading to memory leaks. Note
      that, in normal cases where fs_open() returns 0, 'vcc' will be deallocated
      in fs_close(). But, if fs_open() fails, there is no guarantee that
      fs_close() will be invoked.
      
      To fix this issue, deallocate 'vcc' before the error code is returned.

      when the block group is set read-only, preventing NOCOW writes to the
      area that's being accessed by dev-replace.
      
      This has happend with scratch devices of size 12G but not with 5G and
      20G, so this is depends on timing and other activity on the filesystem.
      The whole replace operation is restartable, the space state should be
      examined by the user in any case.
      
      The error code is propagated back to the ioctl caller so the kernel
      warning is causing false alerts.

      net: cxgb3_main: Add CAP_NET_ADMIN check to CHELSIO_GET_MEM · 3546d8f1
      Michael Ellerman authored
      The cxgb3 driver for "Chelsio T3-based gigabit and 10Gb Ethernet
      adapters" implements a custom ioctl as SIOCCHIOCTL/SIOCDEVPRIVATE in
      cxgb_extension_ioctl().
      
      One of the subcommands of the ioctl is CHELSIO_GET_MEM, which appears
      to read memory directly out of the adapter and return it to userspace.
      It's not entirely clear what the contents of the adapter memory
      contains, but the assumption is that it shouldn't be accessible to all
      users.
      
      So add a CAP_NET_ADMIN check to the CHELSIO_GET_MEM case. Put it after
      the is_offload() check, which matches two of the other subcommands in
      the same function which also check for is_offload() and CAP_NET_ADMIN.
      
      Found by Ilja by code inspection, not tested as I don't have the
      required hardware.

      net: bcmgenet: Use netif_tx_napi_add() for TX NAPI · 148965df
      Florian Fainelli authored
      Before commit 7587935c ("net: bcmgenet: move NAPI initialization to
      ring initialization") moved the code, this used to be
      netif_tx_napi_add(), but we lost that small semantic change in the
      process, restore that.
