Jan Stancek reported: "pthread_cond_broadcast/4-1.c testcase from openposix testsuite (LTP) occasionally fails, because some threads fail to wake up. Testcase creates 5 threads, which are all waiting on same condition. Main thread then calls pthread_cond_broadcast() without holding mutex, which calls: futex(uaddr1, FUTEX_CMP_REQUEUE_PRIVATE, 1, 2147483647, uaddr2, ..) This immediately wakes up single thread A, which unlocks mutex and tries to wake up another thread: futex(uaddr2, FUTEX_WAKE_PRIVATE, 1) If thread A manages to call futex_wake() before any waiters are requeued for uaddr2, no other thread is woken up" The ordering constraints for the hash bucket waiter counting are that the waiter counts have to be incremented _before_ getting the spinlock (because the spinlock acts as part of the memory barrier), but the "requeue" operation didn't honor those rules, and nobody had even thought about that case. This fairly simple patch just increments the waiter count for the target hash bucket (hb2) when requeing a futex before taking the locks. It then decrements them again after releasing the lock - the code that actually moves the futex(es) between hash buckets will do the additional required waiter count housekeeping.

I got a bug report yesterday from Laszlo Ersek in which he states that his kvm instance fails to suspend. Laszlo bisected it down to this commit 1cf7e9c6 ("virtio_blk: blk-mq support") where virtio-blk is converted to use the blk-mq infrastructure. After digging a bit, it became clear that the issue was with the queue drain. blk-mq tracks queue usage in a percpu counter, which is incremented on request alloc and decremented when the request is freed. The initial hunt was for an inconsistency in blk-mq, but everything seemed fine. In fact, the counter only returned crazy values when suspend was in progress. When a CPU is unplugged, the percpu counters merges that CPU state with the general state. blk-mq takes care to register a hotcpu notifier with the appropriate priority, so we know it runs after the percpu counter notifier. However, the percpu counter notifier only merges the state when the CPU is fully gone. This leaves a state transition where the CPU going away is no longer in the online mask, yet it still holds private values. This means that in this state, percpu_counter_sum() returns invalid results, and the suspend then hangs waiting for abs(dead-cpu-value) requests to complete which of course will never happen. Fix this by clearing the state earlier, so we never have a case where the CPU isn't in online mask but still holds private state. This bug has been there since forever, I guess we don't have a lot of users where percpu counters needs to be reliable during the suspend cycle.

Page reclaim force-scans / swaps anonymous pages when file cache drops below the high watermark of a zone in order to prevent what little cache remains from thrashing. However, on bigger machines the high watermark value can be quite large and when the workload is dominated by a static anonymous/shmem set, the file set might just be a small window of used-once cache. In such situations, the VM starts swapping heavily when instead it should be recycling the no longer used cache. This is a longer-standing problem, but it's more likely to trigger after commit 81c0a2bb ("mm: page_alloc: fair zone allocator policy") because file pages can no longer accumulate in a single zone and are dispersed into smaller fractions among the available zones. To resolve this, do not force scan anon when file pages are low but instead rely on the scan/rotation ratios to make the right prediction.

SCTP charges chunks for wmem accounting via skb->truesize in sctp_set_owner_w(), and sctp_wfree() respectively as the reverse operation. If a sender runs out of wmem, it needs to wait via sctp_wait_for_sndbuf(), and gets woken up by a call to __sctp_write_space() mostly via sctp_wfree(). __sctp_write_space() is being called per association. Although we assign sk->sk_write_space() to sctp_write_space(), which is then being done per socket, it is only used if send space is increased per socket option (SO_SNDBUF), as SOCK_USE_WRITE_QUEUE is set and therefore not invoked in sock_wfree(). Commit 4c3a5bda ("sctp: Don't charge for data in sndbuf again when transmitting packet") fixed an issue where in case sctp_packet_transmit() manages to queue up more than sndbuf bytes, sctp_wait_for_sndbuf() will never be woken up again unless it is interrupted by a signal. However, a still remaining issue is that if net.sctp.sndbuf_policy=0, that is accounting per socket, and one-to-many sockets are in use, the reclaimed write space from sctp_wfree() is 'unfairly' handed back on the server to the association that is the lucky one to be woken up again via __sctp_write_space(), while the remaining associations are never be woken up again (unless by a signal). The effect disappears with net.sctp.sndbuf_policy=1, that is wmem accounting per association, as it guarantees a fair share of wmem among associations. Therefore, if we have reclaimed memory in case of per socket accounting, wake all related associations to a socket in a fair manner, that is, traverse the socket association list starting from the current neighbour of the association and issue a __sctp_write_space() to everyone until we end up waking ourselves. This guarantees that no association is preferred over another and even if more associations are taken into the one-to-many session, all receivers will get messages from the server and are not stalled forever on high load. This setting still leaves the advantage of per socket accounting in touch as an association can still use up global limits if unused by others.

There are three buffer overflows addressed in this patch. 1) In isdnloop_fake_err() we add an 'E' to a 60 character string and then copy it into a 60 character buffer. I have made the destination buffer 64 characters and I'm changed the sprintf() to a snprintf(). 2) In isdnloop_parse_cmd(), p points to a 6 characters into a 60 character buffer so we have 54 characters. The ->eazlist[] is 11 characters long. I have modified the code to return if the source buffer is too long. 3) In isdnloop_command() the cbuf[] array was 60 characters long but the max length of the string then can be up to 79 characters. I made the cbuf array 80 characters long and changed the sprintf() to snprintf(). I also removed the temporary "dial" buffer and changed it to use "p" directly. Unfortunately, we pass the "cbuf" string from isdnloop_command() to isdnloop_writecmd() which truncates anything over 60 characters to make it fit in card->omsg[]. (It can accept values up to 255 characters so long as there is a '\n' character every 60 characters). For now I have just fixed the memory corruption bug and left the other problems in this driver alone. Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Loading cursors to the LCD controller's SRAM can be corrupted when the configured pixel clock is relatively slow. This seems to be caused when we write back-to-back to the SRAM registers. There doesn't appear to be any status register we can read to check when an access has completed. Inserting a dummy read between the writes appears to fix the problem.

Add support for early IO or memory mappings which are needed before the normal ioremap() is usable. This also adds fixmap support for permanent fixed mappings such as that used by the earlyprintk device register region.

Presently, paging_init() calls init_mem_pgprot() to initialize pgprot values used by macros such as PAGE_KERNEL, PAGE_KERNEL_EXEC, etc. The new fixmap and early_ioremap support also needs to use these macros before paging_init() is called. This patch moves the init_mem_pgprot() call out of paging_init() and into setup_arch() so that pgprot_default gets initialized in time for fixmap and early_ioremap.

This patch creates a generic implementation of early_ioremap() support based on the existing x86 implementation. early_ioremp() is useful for early boot code which needs to temporarily map I/O or memory regions before normal mapping functions such as ioremap() are available. Some architectures have optional MMU. In the no-MMU case, the remap functions simply return the passed in physical address and the unmap functions do nothing.

This patch series takes the common bits from the x86 early ioremap implementation and creates a generic implementation which may be used by other architectures. The early ioremap interfaces are intended for situations where boot code needs to make temporary virtual mappings before the normal ioremap interfaces are available. Typically, this means before paging_init() has run. This patch (of 6): There's a lot of sparse warnings for code like below: void *a = early_memremap(phys_addr, size); early_memremap intend to map kernel memory with ioremap facility, the return pointer should be a kernel ram pointer instead of iomem one. For making the function clearer and supressing sparse warnings this patch do below two things: 1. cast to (__force void *) for the return value of early_memremap 2. add early_memunmap function and pass (__force void __iomem *) to iounmap From Boris: "Ingo told me yesterday, it makes sense too. I'd guess we can try it. FWIW, all callers of early_memremap use the memory they get remapped as normal memory so we should be safe" Signed-off-by: Dave Young <dyoung@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Mark Salter <msalter@redhat.com> Acked-by: H.

When the system has only one CPU, lglock is effectively a spinlock; map it directly to spinlock to eliminate the indirection and duplicate code. In addition to removing overhead, this drops 1.6k of code with a defconfig modified to have !CONFIG_SMP, and 1.1k with a minimal config.
