shrink_dentry_list() holds dentry->d_lock and needs to acquire dentry->d_inode->i_lock. This cannot be done with a spin_lock() operation because it's the reverse of the regular lock order. To avoid ABBA deadlocks it is done with a trylock loop. Trylock loops are problematic in two scenarios: 1) PREEMPT_RT converts spinlocks to 'sleeping' spinlocks, which are preemptible. As a consequence the i_lock holder can be preempted by a higher priority task. If that task executes the trylock loop it will do so forever and live lock. 2) In virtual machines trylock loops are problematic as well. The VCPU on which the i_lock holder runs can be scheduled out and a task on a different VCPU can loop for a whole time slice. In the worst case this can lead to starvation. Commits 47be6184 ("fs/dcache.c: avoid soft-lockup in dput()") and 046b961b ("shrink_dentry_list(): take parent's d_lock earlier") are addressing exactly those symptoms. Avoid the trylock loop by using dentry_kill(). When pruning ancestors, the same code applies that is used to kill a dentry in dput(). This also has the benefit that the locking order is now the same. First the inode is locked, then the parent. Signed-off-by: John Ogness <john.ogness@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

In case when trylock in there fails, deal with it directly in dentry_kill(). Note that in cases when we drop and retake ->d_lock, we need to recheck whether to retain the dentry. Another thing is that dropping/retaking ->d_lock might have ended up with negative dentry turning into positive; that, of course, can happen only once...

In case of trylock failure don't re-add to the list - drop the locks and carefully get them in the right order. For shrink_dentry_list(), somebody having grabbed a reference to dentry means that we can kick it off-list, so if we find dentry being modified under us we don't need to play silly buggers with retries anyway - off the list it is. The locking logics taken out into a helper of its own; lock_parent() is no longer used for dentries that can be killed under us.

i_dir_seq is subject to concurrent modification by a cmpxchg or store-release operation, so ensure that the relaxed access in d_alloc_parallel uses READ_ONCE.

Will Deacon authored
If d_alloc_parallel runs concurrently with __d_add, it is possible for d_alloc_parallel to continuously retry whilst i_dir_seq has been incremented to an odd value by __d_add: CPU0: __d_add n = start_dir_add(dir); cmpxchg(&dir->i_dir_seq, n, n + 1) == n CPU1: d_alloc_parallel retry: seq = smp_load_acquire(&parent->d_inode->i_dir_seq) & ~1; hlist_bl_lock(b); bit_spin_lock(0, (unsigned long *)b); // Always succeeds CPU0: __d_lookup_done(dentry) hlist_bl_lock bit_spin_lock(0, (unsigned long *)b); // Never succeeds CPU1: if (unlikely(parent->d_inode->i_dir_seq != seq)) { hlist_bl_unlock(b); goto retry; } Since the simple bit_spin_lock used to implement hlist_bl_lock does not provide any fairness guarantees, then CPU1 can starve CPU0 of the lock and prevent it from reaching end_dir_add(dir), therefore CPU1 cannot exit its retry loop because the sequence number always has the bottom bit set. This patch resolves the livelock by not taking hlist_bl_lock in d_alloc_parallel if the sequence counter is odd, since any subsequent masked comparison with i_dir_seq will fail anyway.

In case when dentry passed to lock_parent() is protected from freeing only by the fact that it's on a shrink list and trylock of parent fails, we could get hit by __dentry_kill() (and subsequent dentry_kill(parent)) between unlocking dentry and locking presumed parent. We need to recheck that dentry is alive once we lock both it and parent *and* postpone rcu_read_unlock() until after that point. Otherwise we could return a pointer to struct dentry that already is rcu-scheduled for freeing, with ->d_lock held on it; caller's subsequent attempt to unlock it can end up with memory corruption.

Commit fd8aa909 ("xen: optimize xenbus driver for multiple concurrent xenstore accesses") optimized xenbus concurrent accesses but in doing so broke UABI of /dev/xen/xenbus. Through /dev/xen/xenbus applications are in charge of xenbus message exchange with the correct header and body. Now, after the mentioned commit the replies received by application will no longer have the header req_id echoed back as it was on request (see specification below for reference), because that particular field is being overwritten by kernel. struct xsd_sockmsg { uint32_t type; /* XS_??? */ uint32_t req_id;/* Request identifier, echoed in daemon's response. */ uint32_t tx_id; /* Transaction id (0 if not related to a transaction). */ uint32_t len; /* Length of data following this. */ /* Generally followed by nul-terminated string(s). */ }; Before there was only one request at a time so req_id could simply be forwarded back and forth. To allow simultaneous requests we need a different req_id for each message thus kernel keeps a monotonic increasing counter for this field and is written on every request irrespective of userspace value. Forwarding again the req_id on userspace requests is not a solution because we would open the possibility of userspace-generated req_id colliding with kernel ones. So this patch instead takes another route which is to artificially keep user req_id while keeping the xenbus logic as is. We do that by saving the original req_id before xs_send(), use the private kernel counter as req_id and then once reply comes and was validated, we restore back the original req_id.

In many cases, page tables can be accessed concurrently by either another CPU (due to things like fast gup) or by the hardware page table walker itself, which may set access/dirty bits. In such cases, it is important to use READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE when accessing page table entries so that entries cannot be torn, merged or subject to apparent loss of coherence due to compiler transformations. Whilst there are some scenarios where this cannot happen (e.g. pinned kernel mappings for the linear region), the overhead of using READ_ONCE /WRITE_ONCE everywhere is minimal and makes the code an awful lot easier to reason about. This patch consistently uses these macros in the arch code, as well as explicitly namespacing pointers to page table entries from the entries themselves by using adopting a 'p' suffix for the former (as is sometimes used elsewhere in the kernel source).
