      freezer: kill unused set_freezable_with_signal() · 34b087e4
      Tejun Heo authored
      There's no in-kernel user of set_freezable_with_signal() left.  Mixing
      TIF_SIGPENDING with kernel threads can lead to nasty corner cases as
      kernel threads never travel signal delivery path on their own.
      
      e.g. the current implementation is buggy in the cancelation path of
      __thaw_task().  It calls recalc_sigpending_and_wake() in an attempt to
      clear TIF_SIGPENDING but the function never clears it regardless of
      sigpending state.  This means that signallable freezable kthreads may
      continue executing with !freezing() && stuck TIF_SIGPENDING, which can
      be troublesome.
      
      This patch removes set_freezable_with_signal() along with
      PF_FREEZER_NOSIG and recalc_sigpending*() calls in freezer.  User
      tasks get TIF_SIGPENDING, kernel tasks get woken up and the spurious
      sigpending is dealt with in the usual signal delivery path.

      dmatest: don't use set_freezable_with_signal() · adfa543e
      Tejun Heo authored
      Commit 981ed70d (dmatest: make dmatest threads freezable) made
      dmatest kthread use set_freezable_with_signal(); however, the
      interface is scheduled to be removed in the next merge window.
      
      The problem is that unlike userland tasks there's no default place
      which handles signal pending state and it isn't clear who owns and/or
      is responsible for clearing TIF_SIGPENDING.  For example, in the
      current code, try_to_freeze() clears TIF_SIGPENDING but it isn't sure
      whether it actually owns the TIF_SIGPENDING nor is it race-free -
      ie. the task may continue to run with TIF_SIGPENDING set after the
      freezable section.
      
      Unfortunately, we don't have wait_for_completion_freezable_timeout().
      This patch open codes it and uses wait_event_freezable_timeout()
      instead and removes timeout reloading - wait_event_freezable_timeout()
      won't return across freezing events (currently racy but fix scheduled)
      and timer doesn't decrement while the task is in freezer.  Although
      this does lose timer-reset-over-freezing, given that timeout is
      supposed to be long enough and failure to finish inside is considered
      irrecoverable, I don't think this is worth the complexity.
      
      While at it, move completion to outer scope and explain that we're
      ignoring dangling pointer problem after timeout.  This should give
      slightly better chance at avoiding oops after timeout.

      usb_storage: don't use set_freezable_with_signal() · ec012476
      Tejun Heo authored
      The current implementation of set_freezable_with_signal() is buggy and
      tricky to get right.  usb-storage is the only user and its use can be
      avoided trivially.
      
      All usb-storage wants is to be able to sleep with timeout and get
      woken up if freezing() becomes true.  This can be trivially
      implemented by doing interruptible wait w/ freezing() included in the
      wait condition.  There's no reason to use set_freezable_with_signal().
      
      Perform interruptible wait on freezing() instead of using
      set_freezable_with_signal(), which is scheduled for removal.

      freezer: restructure __refrigerator() · 5ece3eae
      Tejun Heo authored
      If another freeze happens before all tasks leave FROZEN state after
      being thawed, the freezer can see the existing FROZEN and consider the
      tasks to be frozen but they can clear FROZEN without checking the new
      freezing().
      
      Oleg suggested restructuring __refrigerator() such that there's single
      condition check section inside freezer_lock and sigpending is cleared
      afterwards, which fixes the problem and simplifies the code.
      Restructure accordingly.

      freezer: fix set_freezable[_with_signal]() race · 96ee6d85
      Tejun Heo authored
      A kthread doing set_freezable*() may race with on-going PM freeze and
      the freezer might think all tasks are frozen while the new freezable
      kthread is merrily proceeding to execute code paths which aren't
      supposed to be executing during PM freeze.

      that freezable PF flags are modified under freezer_lock and
      try_to_freeze() is called afterwards.  This eliminates race condition
      against freezing.

      freezer: make freezing() test freeze conditions in effect instead of TIF_FREEZE · a3201227
      Tejun Heo authored
      Using TIF_FREEZE for freezing worked when there was only single
      freezing condition (the PM one); however, now there is also the
      cgroup_freezer and single bit flag is getting clumsy.
      thaw_processes() is already testing whether cgroup freezing in in
      effect to avoid thawing tasks which were frozen by both PM and cgroup
      freezers.
      
      This is racy (nothing prevents race against cgroup freezing) and
      fragile.  A much simpler way is to test actual freeze conditions from
      freezing() - ie. directly test whether PM or cgroup freezing is in
      effect.
      
      This patch adds variables to indicate whether and what type of
      freezing conditions are in effect and reimplements freezing() such
      that it directly tests whether any of the two freezing conditions is
      active and the task should freeze.  On fast path, freezing() is still
      very cheap - it only tests system_freezing_cnt.
      
      This makes the clumsy dancing aroung TIF_FREEZE unnecessary and
      freeze/thaw operations more usual - updating state variables for the
      new state and nudging target tasks so that they notice the new state
      and comply.  As long as the nudging happens after state update, it's
      race-free.
      
      * This allows use of freezing() in freeze_task().  Replace the open
        coded tests with freezing().
      
      * p != current test is added to warning printing conditions in
        try_to_freeze_tasks() failure path.  This is necessary as freezing()
        is now true for the task which initiated freezing too.
      
      -v2: Oleg pointed out that re-freezing FROZEN cgroup could increment
           system_freezing_cnt.  Fixed.

      cgroup_freezer: prepare for removal of TIF_FREEZE · 22b4e111
      Tejun Heo authored
      TIF_FREEZE will be removed soon and freezing() will directly test
      whether any freezing condition is in effect.  Make the following
      changes in preparation.
      
      * Rename cgroup_freezing_or_frozen() to cgroup_freezing() and make it
        return bool.
      
      * Make cgroup_freezing() access task_freezer() under rcu read lock
        instead of task_lock().  This makes the state dereferencing racy
        against task moving to another cgroup; however, it was already racy
        without this change as ->state dereference wasn't synchronized.
        This will be later dealt with using attach hooks.
      
      * freezer->state is now set before trying to push tasks into the
        target state.
      
      -v2: Oleg pointed out that freeze_change_state() was setting
           freeze->state incorrectly to CGROUP_FROZEN instead of
           CGROUP_FREEZING.  Fixed.
      
      -v3: Matt pointed out that setting CGROUP_FROZEN used to always invoke
           try_to_freeze_cgroup() regardless of the current state.  Patch
           updated such that the actual freeze/thaw operations are always
           performed on invocation.  This shouldn't make any difference
           unless something is broken.

      freezer: clean up freeze_processes() failure path · 03afed8b
      Tejun Heo authored
      freeze_processes() failure path is rather messy.  Freezing is canceled
      for workqueues and tasks which aren't frozen yet but frozen tasks are
      left alone and should be thawed by the caller and of course some
      callers (xen and kexec) didn't do it.
      
      This patch updates __thaw_task() to handle cancelation correctly and
      makes freeze_processes() and freeze_kernel_threads() call
      thaw_processes() on failure instead so that the system is fully thawed
      on failure.  Unnecessary [suspend_]thaw_processes() calls are removed
      from kernel/power/hibernate.c, suspend.c and user.c.
      
      While at it, restructure error checking if clause in suspend_prepare()

      try_to_freeze_tasks() and thaw_processes() use freezable() and

      freezer: make freezing indicate freeze condition in effect · 6907483b
      Tejun Heo authored
      Currently freezing (TIF_FREEZE) and frozen (PF_FROZEN) states are
      interlocked - freezing is set to request freeze and when the task
      actually freezes, it clears freezing and sets frozen.
      
      This interlocking makes things more complex than necessary - freezing
      doesn't mean there's freezing condition in effect and frozen doesn't
      match the task actually entering and leaving frozen state (it's
      cleared by the thawing task).
      
      This patch makes freezing indicate that freeze condition is in effect.
      A task enters and stays frozen if freezing.  This makes PF_FROZEN
      manipulation done only by the task itself and prevents wakeup from
      __thaw_task() leaking outside of refrigerator.
      
      The only place which needs to tell freezing && !frozen is
      try_to_freeze_task() to whine about tasks which don't enter frozen.
      It's updated to test the condition explicitly.
      
      With the change, frozen() state my linger after __thaw_task() until
      the task wakes up and exits fridge.  This can trigger BUG_ON() in
      update_if_frozen().  Work it around by testing freezing() && frozen()
      instead of frozen().
      
      -v2: Oleg pointed out missing re-check of freezing() when trying to
           clear FROZEN and possible spurious BUG_ON() trigger in
           update_if_frozen().  Both fixed.

      freezer: use dedicated lock instead of task_lock() + memory barrier · 0c9af092
      Tejun Heo authored
      Freezer synchronization is needlessly complicated - it's by no means a
      hot path and the priority is staying unintrusive and safe.  This patch
      makes it simply use a dedicated lock instead of piggy-backing on
      task_lock() and playing with memory barriers.
      
      On the failure path of try_to_freeze_tasks(), locking is moved from it
      to cancel_freezing().  This makes the frozen() test racy but the race
      here is a non-issue as the warning is printed for tasks which failed
      to enter frozen for 20 seconds and race on PF_FROZEN at the last
      moment doesn't change anything.
      
      This simplifies freezer implementation and eases further changes

      freezer: implement and use kthread_freezable_should_stop() · 8a32c441

      Writeback and thinkpad_acpi have been using thaw_process() to prevent
      deadlock between the freezer and kthread_stop(); unfortunately, this
      is inherently racy - nothing prevents freezing from happening between
      thaw_process() and kthread_stop().

      refrigerator if necessary but is guaranteed to return if
      kthread_stop() is invoked.  Both thaw_process() users are converted to
      use the new function.
      
      Note that this deadlock condition exists for many of freezable
      kthreads.  They need to be converted to use the new should_stop or

      freezer: fix current->state restoration race in refrigerator() · 50fb4f7f
      Tejun Heo authored
      refrigerator() saves current->state before entering frozen state and
      restores it before returning using __set_current_state(); however,
      this is racy, for example, please consider the following sequence.
      
      	set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE);
      	try_to_freeze();
      	if (kthread_should_stop())
      		break;
      	schedule();
      
      If kthread_stop() races with ->state restoration, the restoration can
      restore ->state to TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE after kthread_stop() sets it to
      TASK_RUNNING but kthread_should_stop() may still see zero
      ->should_stop because there's no memory barrier between restoring
      TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE and kthread_should_stop() test.
      
      This isn't restricted to kthread_should_stop().  current->state is
      often used in memory barrier based synchronization and silently
      restoring it w/o mb breaks them.
      
      Use set_current_state() instead.

      KVM guest: prevent tracing recursion with kvmclock · 95ef1e52
      Avi Kivity authored
      Prevent tracing of preempt_disable() in get_cpu_var() in
      kvm_clock_read(). When CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT is enabled,
      preempt_disable/enable() are traced and this causes the function_graph
      tracer to go into an infinite recursion. By open coding the
      preempt_disable() around the get_cpu_var(), we can use the notrace
      version which prevents preempt_disable/enable() from being traced and
      prevents the recursion.
      
      Based on a similar patch for Xen from Jeremy Fitzhardinge.
