The mmustat_enable sysfs file accessor functions must run code on the target CPU. This is achieved by temporarily setting the affinity of the calling user space thread to the requested CPU and reset it to the original affinity afterwards. That's racy vs. concurrent affinity settings for that thread resulting in code executing on the wrong CPU and overwriting the new affinity setting. Replace it by using work_on_cpu() which guarantees to run the code on the requested CPU. Protection against CPU hotplug is not required as the open sysfs file already prevents the removal from the CPU offline callback. Using the hotplug protected version would actually be wrong because it would deadlock against a CPU hotplug operation of the CPU associated to the sysfs file in progress.

Init task invokes smp_ops->setup_cpu() from smp_cpus_done(). Init task can run on any online CPU at this point, but the setup_cpu() callback requires to be invoked on the boot CPU. This is achieved by temporarily setting the affinity of the calling user space thread to the requested CPU and reset it to the original affinity afterwards. That's racy vs. CPU hotplug and concurrent affinity settings for that thread resulting in code executing on the wrong CPU and overwriting the new affinity setting. That's actually not a problem in this context as neither CPU hotplug nor affinity settings can happen, but the access to task_struct::cpus_allowed is about to restricted. Replace it with a call to work_on_cpu_safe() which achieves the same result.

work_on_cpu() is not protected against CPU hotplug. For code which requires to be either executed on an online CPU or to fail if the CPU is not available the callsite would have to protect against CPU hotplug. Provide a function which does get/put_online_cpus() around the call to work_on_cpu() and fails the call with -ENODEV if the target CPU is not online. Preparatory patch to convert several racy task affinity manipulations.

We truncate (and loose) the lower 10 bits of runtime in ___update_load_avg(), this means there's a consistent bias to under-account tasks. This is esp. significant for small tasks. Cure this by only forwarding last_update_time to the point we've actually accounted for, leaving the remainder for the next time.

Historically our periods (or p) argument in PELT denoted the number of full periods (what is now d2). However recent patches have changed this to the total decay (previously p+1), leading to a confusing discrepancy between comments and code. Try and clarify things by making periods (in code) and p (in comments) be the same thing (again).

Paul noticed that in the (periods >= LOAD_AVG_MAX_N) case in __accumulate_sum(), the returned contribution value (LOAD_AVG_MAX) is incorrect. This is because at this point, the decay_load() on the old state -- the first step in accumulate_sum() -- will not have resulted in 0, and will therefore result in a sum larger than the maximum value of our series. Obviously broken. Note that: decay_load(LOAD_AVG_MAX, LOAD_AVG_MAX_N) = 1 (345 / 32) 47742 * - ^ = ~27 2 Not to mention that any further contribution from the d3 segment (our new period) would also push it over the maximum. Solve this by noting that we can write our c2 term: p c2 = 1024 \Sum y^n n=1 In terms of our maximum value: inf inf p max = 1024 \Sum y^n = 1024 ( \Sum y^n + \Sum y^n + y^0 ) n=0 n=p+1 n=1 Further note that: inf inf inf ( \Sum y^n ) y^p = \Sum y^(n+p) = \Sum y^n n=0 n=0 n=p Combined that gives us: p c2 = 1024 \Sum y^n n=1 inf inf = 1024 ( \Sum y^n - \Sum y^n - y^0 ) n=0 n=p+1 = max - (max y^(p+1)) - 1024 Further simplify things by dealing with p=0 early on.

It is not safe for one thread to modify the ->flags of another thread as there is no locking that can protect the update. So tsk_restore_flags(), which takes a task pointer and modifies the flags, is an invitation to do the wrong thing. All current users pass "current" as the task, so no developers have accepted that invitation. It would be best to ensure it remains that way. So rename tsk_restore_flags() to current_restore_flags() and don't pass in a task_struct pointer. Always operate on current->flags.

Pull block fixes from Jens Axboe: "Here's a pull request for 4.11-rc, fixing a set of issues mostly centered around the new scheduling framework. These have been brewing for a while, but split up into what we absolutely need in 4.11, and what we can defer until 4.12. These are well tested, on both single queue and multiqueue setups, and with and without shared tags. They fix several hangs that have happened in testing. This is obviously larger than I would have preferred at this point in time, but I don't think we can shave much off this and still get the desired results. In detail, this pull request contains: - a set of five fixes for NVMe, mostly from Christoph and one from Roland. - a series from Bart, fixing issues with dm-mq and SCSI shared tags and scheduling. Note that one of those patches commit messages may read like an optimization, but it is in fact an important fix for queue restarts in particular. - a series from Omar, most importantly fixing a hang with multiple hardware queues when we fail to get a driver tag.

ops->show() can return a negative error code. Commit 65da3484 ("sysfs: correctly handle short reads on PREALLOC attrs.") (in v4.4) caused this to be stored in an unsigned 'size_t' variable, so errors would look like large numbers. As a result, if an error is returned, sysfs_kf_read() will return the value of 'count', typically 4096. Commit 17d0774f ("sysfs: correctly handle read offset on PREALLOC attrs") (in v4.8) extended this error to use the unsigned large 'len' as a size for memmove(). Consequently, if ->show returns an error, then the first read() on the sysfs file will return 4096 and could return uninitialized memory to user-space. If the application performs a subsequent read, this will trigger a memmove() with extremely large count, and is likely to crash the machine is bizarre ways. This bug can currently only be triggered by reading from an md sysfs attribute declared with __ATTR_PREALLOC() during the brief period between when mddev_put() deletes an mddev from the ->all_mddevs list, and when mddev_delayed_delete() - which is scheduled on a workqueue - completes. Before this, an error won't be returned by the ->show() After this, the ->show() won't be called. I can reproduce it reliably only by putting delay like usleep_range(500000,700000); early in mddev_delayed_delete(). Then after creating an md device md0 run echo clear > /sys/block/md0/md/array_state; cat /sys/block/md0/md/array_state The bug can be triggered without the usleep.

vfs_llseek will check whether the file mode has FMODE_LSEEK, no return failure. But ashmem can be lseek, so add FMODE_LSEEK to ashmem file. Comment From Greg Hackmann: ashmem_llseek() passes the llseek() call through to the backing shmem file. 91360b02 ("ashmem: use vfs_llseek()") changed this from directly calling the file's llseek() op into a VFS layer call. This also adds a check for the FMODE_LSEEK bit, so without that bit ashmem_llseek() now always fails with -ESPIPE.

Pull audit cleanup from Paul Moore: "A week later than I had hoped, but as promised, here is the audit uninline-fix we talked about during the last audit pull request. The patch is slightly different than what we originally discussed as it made more sense to keep the audit_signal_info() function in auditsc.c rather than move it and bunch of other related variables/definitions into audit.c/audit.h. At some point in the future I need to look at how the audit code is organized across kernel/audit*, I suspect we could do things a bit better, but it doesn't seem like a -rc release is a good place for that ;) Regardless, this patch passes our tests without problem and looks good for v4.11" * 'stable-4.11' of git://git.infradead.org/users/pcmoore/audit: audit: move audit_signal_info() into kernel/auditsc.c

We currently have 2 specific WQ_RECLAIM workqueues in the mm code. vmstat_wq for updating pcp stats and lru_add_drain_wq dedicated to drain per cpu lru caches. This seems more than necessary because both can run on a single WQ. Both do not block on locks requiring a memory allocation nor perform any allocations themselves. We will save one rescuer thread this way. On the other hand drain_all_pages() queues work on the system wq which doesn't have rescuer and so this depend on memory allocation (when all workers are stuck allocating and new ones cannot be created). Initially we thought this would be more of a theoretical problem but Hugh Dickins has reported: : 4.11-rc has been giving me hangs after hours of swapping load. At : first they looked like memory leaks ("fork: Cannot allocate memory"); : but for no good reason I happened to do "cat /proc/sys/vm/stat_refresh" : before looking at /proc/meminfo one time, and the stat_refresh stuck : in D state, waiting for completion of flush_work like many kworkers. : kthreadd waiting for completion of flush_work in drain_all_pages(). This worker should be using WQ_RECLAIM as well in order to guarantee a forward progress. We can reuse the same one as for lru draining and vmstat.

While running generic/340 in my test setup I hit the following race. It can happen with kernels that support FS DAX PMDs, so v4.10 thru v4.11-rc5. Thread 1 Thread 2 -------- -------- dax_iomap_pmd_fault() grab_mapping_entry() spin_lock_irq() get_unlocked_mapping_entry() 'entry' is NULL, can't call lock_slot() spin_unlock_irq() radix_tree_preload() dax_iomap_pmd_fault() grab_mapping_entry() spin_lock_irq() get_unlocked_mapping_entry() ... lock_slot() spin_unlock_irq() dax_pmd_insert_mapping() <inserts a PMD mapping> spin_lock_irq() __radix_tree_insert() fails with -EEXIST <fall back to 4k fault, and die horribly when inserting a 4k entry where a PMD exists> The issue is that we have to drop mapping->tree_lock while calling radix_tree_preload(), but since we didn't have a radix tree entry to lock (unlike in the pmd_downgrade case) we have no protection against Thread 2 coming along and inserting a PMD at the same index. For 4k entries we handled this with a special-case response to -EEXIST coming from the __radix_tree_insert(), but this doesn't save us for PMDs because the -EEXIST case can also mean that we collided with a 4k entry in the radix tree at a different index, but one that is covered by our PMD range. So, correctly handle both the 4k and 2M collision cases by explicitly re-checking the radix tree for an entry at our index once we reacquire mapping->tree_lock. This patch has made it through a clean xfstests run with the current v4.11-rc5 based linux/master, and it also ran generic/340 500 times in a loop. It used to fail within the first 10 iterations.

Setting thp defrag mode of "defer+madvise" actually sets "defer" in the kernel due to the name similarity and the out-of-order way the string is checked in defrag_store(). Check the string in the correct order so that TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_DEFRAG_KSWAPD_OR_MADV_FLAG is set appropriately for "defer+madvise".

In PT_SEIZED + LISTEN mode STOP/CONT signals cause a wakeup against __TASK_TRACED. If this races with the ptrace_unfreeze_traced at the end of a PTRACE_LISTEN, this can wake the task /after/ the check against __TASK_TRACED, but before the reset of state to TASK_TRACED. This causes it to instead clobber TASK_WAKING, allowing a subsequent wakeup against TRACED while the task is still on the rq wake_list, corrupting it. Oleg said: "The kernel can crash or this can lead to other hard-to-debug problems. In short, "task->state = TASK_TRACED" in ptrace_unfreeze_traced() assumes that nobody else can wake it up, but PTRACE_LISTEN breaks the contract. Obviusly it is very wrong to manipulate task->state if this task is already running, or WAKING, or it sleeps again" [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes] Fixes: 9899d11f ("ptrace: ensure arch_ptrace/ptrace_request can never race with SIGKILL") Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/xm26y3vfhmkp.fsf_-_@bsegall-linux.mtv.corp.google.comSigned-off-by: Ben Segall <bsegall@google.com> Acked-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

When __{start,end}_ro_after_init is referenced from C code, we run into the following build errors on blackfin: kernel/extable.c:169: undefined reference to `__start_ro_after_init' kernel/extable.c:169: undefined reference to `__end_ro_after_init' The build error is due to the fact that blackfin is one of the few arches that prepends an underscore '_' to all symbols defined in C. Fix this by wrapping __{start,end}_ro_after_init in vmlinux.lds.h with VMLINUX_SYMBOL(), which adds the necessary prefix for arches that have HAVE_UNDERSCORE_SYMBOL_PREFIX.
