After study, it was determined there was a double free of a CT iocb during execution of lpfc_offline_prep and lpfc_offline. The prep routine issued an abort for some CT iocbs, but the aborts did not complete fast enough for a subsequent routine that waits for completion. Thus the driver proceeded to lpfc_offline, which releases any pending iocbs. Unfortunately, the completions for the aborts were then received which re-released the ct iocbs. Turns out the issue for why the aborts didn't complete fast enough was not their time on the wire/in the adapter. It was the lpfc_work_done routine, which requires the adapter state to be UP before it calls lpfc_sli_handle_slow_ring_event() to process the completions. The issue is the prep routine takes the link down as part of it's processing. To fix, the following was performed: - Prevent the offline routine from releasing iocbs that have had aborts issued on them. Defer to the abort completions. Also means the driver fully waits for the completions. Given this change, the recognition of "driver-generated" status which then releases the iocb is no longer valid. As such, the change made in the commit 29601228 is reverted. As recognition of "driver-generated" status is no longer valid, this patch reverts the changes made in commit 29601228 ("scsi: lpfc: Fix leak of ELS completions on adapter reset") - Modify lpfc_work_done to allow slow path completions so that the abort completions aren't ignored. - Updated the fdmi path to recognize a CT request that fails due to the port being unusable. This stops FDMI retries. FDMI will be restarted on next link up. Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20190922035906.10977-14-jsmart2021@gmail.comSigned-off-by:

Scenarios were seen where a host hung when the system booted or the host was very slow in booting. The link would not come up and no luns were visible to the host. After investigation, this was found to be due to the introduction of a new ACQE that adapter may generate to report a adapter hw warning. The ACQE was delivered to the driver very early in adapter initialization, when the driver did not expect command completion. As part of handling this unexpected interrupt the an EQEs are consumed and discarded and the EQ rearmed. The issue is the CQ that cause the EQE and thus the interrupt was not processed and the CQ was left unarmed. Meaning it would no longer generate a new interrupt condition. Subsequent mailbox commands used to initialize the adapter use the same CQ, and as there was no completion interrupt generated, the driver never saw the mailbox commands complete and it would wait long command timeouts. Fix by having the early flush routine also process the related CQ and rearm the CQ. Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20190922035906.10977-13-jsmart2021@gmail.comSigned-off-by:

When the port, running as a nvme target, receives an ABTS, it submits commands to the adapter to Abort i/o outstanding in the adapter. The Abort command formatting routine left a command field set to zero, which instructs the adapter to generate an ABTS on the wire as part of cleaning up the I/O. This is common operation for an initiator, but not for a target. Fix the driver to check whether an ABTS had been received for the I/O, and if so, change the Abort command formatting so that the ABTS generation is disabled (IA=1). No need to ABTS it when the other side already has. Also refactored the code such that there is a single routine being used for nvme or nvmet ABORT requests, and IA is an argument.

An issue was seen discovering all SCSI Luns when a target device undergoes link bounce. The driver currently does not qualify the FC4 support on the target. Therefore it will send a SCSI PRLI and an NVMe PRLI. The expectation is that the target will reject the PRLI if it is not supported. If a PRLI times out, the driver will retry. The driver will not proceed with the device until both SCSI and NVMe PRLIs are resolved. In the failure case, the device is FCP only and does not respond to the NVMe PRLI, thus initiating the wait/retry loop in the driver. During that time, a RSCN is received (device bounced) causing the driver to issue a GID_FT. The GID_FT response comes back before the PRLI mess is resolved and it prematurely cancels the PRLI retry logic and leaves the device in a STE_PRLI_ISSUE state. Discovery with the target never completes or resets. Fix by resetting the node state back to STE_NPR_NODE when GID_FT completes, thereby restarting the discovery process for the node.

Faults are seen with RIP of lpfc_scsi_cmd_iocb_cmpl(). The failure is when lpfc_update_status is being called as part of the completion. After debugging, it was seen the issue was the shost pointer that the driver derived from the scsi cmd. The crash showed the cmd->device pointer being bogus, which is likely as the scsi devices were offlined prior. The bogus device pointer caused subsequent pointers derived from the location, specifically the vport, to be bogus. Fix by adjusting the calling sequence to pass in the vport rather than having to derive it from the cmd structure.

Symptoms were seen of the driver not having valid data for mailbox commands. After debugging, the following sequence was found: The driver maintains a port-wide pointer of the mailbox command that is currently in execution. Once finished, the port-wide pointer is cleared (done in lpfc_sli4_mq_release()). The next mailbox command issued will set the next pointer and so on. The mailbox response data is only copied if there is a valid port-wide pointer. In the failing case, it was seen that a new mailbox command was being attempted in parallel with the completion. The parallel path was seeing the mailbox no long in use (flag check under lock) and thus set the port pointer. The completion path had cleared the active flag under lock, but had not touched the port pointer. The port pointer is cleared after the lock is released. In this case, the completion path cleared the just-set value by the parallel path. Fix by making the calls that clear mbox state/port pointer while under lock. Also slightly cleaned up the error path. Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20190922035906.10977-8-jsmart2021@gmail.comSigned-off-by:

When target-side fault injections are made, the driver isn't reconnecting to the remote port. The driver is logging "2753" error messages which state: "PLOGI failure DID:1B2400 Status:x3/xf0240008" The failures status is indicating a Illegal field error, which points to the Temporary RPI field being used for the ELS. This error typically means the driver used an RPI that was already registered (shouldn't be registered if using it in this context). Study has found that if the driver were in discovery attempts and encountered an error, it wouldn't flag the temporary rpi in error. Yet the rpi was released for reallocation in these error paths and another ELS could allocate the rpi. In the failure situation a retry was done on an ELS that had encountered an error, and as the rpi wasn't marked in error, the ELS reused the rpi it originally allocated. But that rpi had been allocated by a different ELS issued after the original error and before the retry attempt. The different ELS had succeeded and the RPI was registered. Fix by marking the rpi state for the node to be in error, aka as needing reallocation, upon an error in the els processing. Error state marking is always done prior to release back to the internal rpi free list, which the driver wasn't doing in cases prior. Also enhanced some of the logging to help in the next case of problem troubleshooting. Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20190922035906.10977-7-jsmart2021@gmail.comSigned-off-by:

A prior use-after-free mailbox fix solved it's problem by null'ing a ndlp pointer. However, further testing has shown that this change causes a later state change to occasionally be skipped, which results in a reference count never being decremented thus the rpi is never released, which causes a vport delete to never succeed. Revise the fix in the prior patch to no longer null the ndlp. Instead the RELEASE_RPI flag is set which will drive the release of the rpi. Given the new code was added at a deep indentation level, refactor the code block using a new routine that avoids the indentation issues.

The nvme-fc transport may call to abort an io on controller reset. If the driver is out of resources to issue an abort command, it just gives up and does nothing. The transport expects the lldd to always be able to terminate an io it has issued. At that point, the controller hangs waiting for aborted ios to be returned. Note: flaged by "6136" and "6176" error messages. Root issue was the adapter mis-allocated the number resources it allocated for command entries for the adapter. Convert the driver to allocate command resources based on the number of xris supported by the FC port - 1 resource for the original command and 1 resource for the abort request.

After exchanging PLOGI on an SLI-3 adapter, the PRLI exchange failed. Link trace showed the port was assigned a non-zero n_port_id, but didn't use the address on the PRLI. The assigned address is set on the port by the CONFIG_LINK mailbox command. The driver responded to the PRLI before the mailbox command completed. Thus the PRLI response used the old n_port_id. Defer the PRLI response until CONFIG_LINK completes. Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20190922035906.10977-2-jsmart2021@gmail.comSigned-off-by:

Merge active entropy generation updates. This is admittedly partly "for discussion". We need to have a way forward for the boot time deadlocks where user space ends up waiting for more entropy, but no entropy is forthcoming because the system is entirely idle just waiting for something to happen. While this was triggered by what is arguably a user space bug with GDM/gnome-session asking for secure randomness during early boot, when they didn't even need any such truly secure thing, the issue ends up being that our "getrandom()" interface is prone to that kind of confusion, because people don't think very hard about whether they want to block for sufficient amounts of entropy. The approach here-in is to decide to not just passively wait for entropy to happen, but to start actively collecting it if it is missing. This is not necessarily always possible, but if the architecture has a CPU cycle counter, there is a fair amount of noise in the exact timings of reasonably complex loads. We may end up tweaking the load and the entropy estimates, but this should be at least a reasonable starting point. As part of this, we also revert the revert of the ext4 IO pattern improvement that ended up triggering the reported lack of external entropy. * getrandom() active entropy waiting: Revert "Revert "ext4: make __ext4_get_inode_loc plug"" random: try to actively add entropy rather than passively wait for it

This reverts commit 72dbcf72. Instead of waiting forever for entropy that may just not happen, we now try to actively generate entropy when required, and are thus hopefully avoiding the problem that caused the nice ext4 IO pattern fix to be reverted.

For 5.3 we had to revert a nice ext4 IO pattern improvement, because it caused a bootup regression due to lack of entropy at bootup together with arguably broken user space that was asking for secure random numbers when it really didn't need to. See commit 72dbcf72 (Revert "ext4: make __ext4_get_inode_loc plug"). This aims to solve the issue by actively generating entropy noise using the CPU cycle counter when waiting for the random number generator to initialize. This only works when you have a high-frequency time stamp counter available, but that's the case on all modern x86 CPU's, and on most other modern CPU's too. What we do is to generate jitter entropy from the CPU cycle counter under a somewhat complex load: calling the scheduler while also guaranteeing a certain amount of timing noise by also triggering a timer. I'm sure we can tweak this, and that people will want to look at other alternatives, but there's been a number of papers written on jitter entropy, and this should really be fairly conservative by crediting one bit of entropy for every timer-induced jump in the cycle counter. Not because the timer itself would be all that unpredictable, but because the interaction between the timer and the loop is going to be. Even if (and perhaps particularly if) the timer actually happens on another CPU, the cacheline interaction between the loop that reads the cycle counter and the timer itself firing is going to add perturbations to the cycle counter values that get mixed into the entropy pool. As Thomas pointed out, with a modern out-of-order CPU, even quite simple loops show a fair amount of hard-to-predict timing variability even in the absense of external interrupts. But this tries to take that further by actually having a fairly complex interaction. This is not going to solve the entropy issue for architectures that have no CPU cycle counter, but it's not clear how (and if) that is solvable, and the hardware in question is largely starting to be irrelevant. And by doing this we can at least avoid some of the even more contentious approaches (like making the entropy waiting time out in order to avoid the possibly unbounded waiting).

The role of the contact list provided by the disclosing party and how it affects the disclosure process and the ability to include experts into the development process is not really well explained. Neither is it entirely clear when the disclosing party will be informed about the fact that a developer who is not covered by an employer NDA needs to be brought in and disclosed. Explain the role of the contact list and the information policy along with an eventual conflict resolution better. Reported-by:

Pull networking fixes from David Miller: 1) Sanity check URB networking device parameters to avoid divide by zero, from Oliver Neukum. 2) Disable global multicast filter in NCSI, otherwise LLDP and IPV6 don't work properly. Longer term this needs a better fix tho. From Vijay Khemka. 3) Small fixes to selftests (use ping when ping6 is not present, etc.) from David Ahern. 4) Bring back rt_uses_gateway member of struct rtable, it's semantics were not well understood and trying to remove it broke things. From David Ahern. 5) Move usbnet snaity checking, ignore endpoints with invalid wMaxPacketSize. From Bjørn Mork. 6) Missing Kconfig deps for sja1105 driver, from Mao Wenan. 7) Various small fixes to the mlx5 DR steering code, from Alaa Hleihel, Alex Vesker, and Yevgeny Kliteynik 8) Missing CAP_NET_RAW checks in various places, from Ori Nimron. 9) Fix crash when removing sch_cbs entry while offloading is enabled, from Vinicius Costa Gomes. 10) Signedness bug fixes, generally in looking at the result given by of_get_phy_mode() and friends.

Merge hugepage allocation updates from David Rientjes: "We (mostly Linus, Andrea, and myself) have been discussing offlist how to implement a sane default allocation strategy for hugepages on NUMA platforms. With these reverts in place, the page allocator will happily allocate a remote hugepage immediately rather than try to make a local hugepage available. This incurs a substantial performance degradation when memory compaction would have otherwise made a local hugepage available. This series reverts those reverts and attempts to propose a more sane default allocation strategy specifically for hugepages. Andrea acknowledges this is likely to fix the swap storms that he originally reported that resulted in the patches that removed __GFP_THISNODE from hugepage allocations. The immediate goal is to return 5.3 to the behavior the kernel has implemented over the past several years so that remote hugepages are not immediately allocated when local hugepages could have been made available because the increased access latency is untenable. The next goal is to introduce a sane default allocation strategy for hugepages allocations in general regardless of the configuration of the system so that we prevent thrashing of local memory when compaction is unlikely to succeed and can prefer remote hugepages over remote native pages when the local node is low on memory." Note on timing: this reverts the hugepage VM behavior changes that got introduced fairly late in the 5.3 cycle, and that fixed a huge performance regression for certain loads that had been around since 4.18. Andrea had this note: "The regression of 4.18 was that it was taking hours to start a VM where 3.10 was only taking a few seconds, I reported all the details on lkml when it was finally tracked down in August 2018. https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20180820032640.9896-2-aarcange@redhat.com/ __GFP_THISNODE in MADV_HUGEPAGE made the above enterprise vfio workload degrade like in the "current upstream" above. And it still would have been that bad as above until 5.3-rc5" where the bad behavior ends up happening as you fill up a local node, and without that change, you'd get into the nasty swap storm behavior due to compaction working overtime to make room for more memory on the nodes. As a result 5.3 got the two performance fix reverts in rc5. However, David Rientjes then noted that those performance fixes in turn regressed performance for other loads - although not quite to the same degree. He suggested reverting the reverts and instead replacing them with two small changes to how hugepage allocations are done (patch descriptions rephrased by me): - "avoid expensive reclaim when compaction may not succeed": just admit that the allocation failed when you're trying to allocate a huge-page and compaction wasn't successful. - "allow hugepage fallback to remote nodes when madvised": when that node-local huge-page allocation failed, retry without forcing the local node. but by then I judged it too late to replace the fixes for a 5.3 release. So 5.3 was released with behavior that harked back to the pre-4.18 logic. But now we're in the merge window for 5.4, and we can see if this alternate model fixes not just the horrendous swap storm behavior, but also restores the performance regression that the late reverts caused. Fingers crossed. * emailed patches from David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com>: mm, page_alloc: allow hugepage fallback to remote nodes when madvised mm, page_alloc: avoid expensive reclaim when compaction may not succeed Revert "Revert "Revert "mm, thp: consolidate THP gfp handling into alloc_hugepage_direct_gfpmask"" Revert "Revert "mm, thp: restore node-local hugepage allocations"" -
