lock_parent() very much on purpose does nested locking of dentries, and is careful to maintain the right order (lock parent first). But because it didn't annotate the nested locking order, lockdep thought it might be a deadlock on d_lock, and complained. Add the proper annotation for the inner locking of the child dentry to make lockdep happy. Introduced by commit 046b961b ("shrink_dentry_list(): take parent's ->d_lock earlier").

So a few people complained that commit 177cf92d Author: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch> Date: Tue Apr 1 22:14:59 2014 +0200 drm/crtc-helpers: fix dpms on logic which was merged into 3.15-rc1, broke resume on radeons. Strangely git bisect lead everyone to commit 25f397a4 Author: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch> Date: Fri Jul 19 18:57:11 2013 +0200 drm/crtc-helper: explicit DPMS on after modeset which was merged long ago and actually part of 3.14. Digging deeper I've noticed (again) that the call to drm_helper_resume_force_mode in the radeon resume handlers was a no-op previously because everything gets shut down on suspend. radeon does this with explicit calls to drm_helper_connector_dpms with DPMS_OFF. But with 177c we now force the dpms state to ON, so suddenly resume_force_mode actually forced the crtcs back on. This is the intention of the change after all, the problem is that radeon resumes the fbdev console layer _before_ restoring the display, through calling fb_set_suspend. And fbcon does an immediate ->set_par, which in turn causes the same forced mode restore to happen. Two concurrent modeset operations didn't lead to happiness. Fix this by delaying the fbcon resume until the end of the readeon resum functions. v2: Fix up a bit of the spelling fail.

While I play inhouse patches with much memory pressure on qemu-kvm, 3.14 kernel was randomly crashed. The reason was kernel stack overflow. When I investigated the problem, the callstack was a little bit deeper by involve with reclaim functions but not direct reclaim path. I tried to diet stack size of some functions related with alloc/reclaim so did a hundred of byte but overflow was't disappeard so that I encounter overflow by another deeper callstack on reclaim/allocator path. Of course, we might sweep every sites we have found for reducing stack usage but I'm not sure how long it saves the world(surely, lots of developer start to add nice features which will use stack agains) and if we consider another more complex feature in I/O layer and/or reclaim path, it might be better to increase stack size( meanwhile, stack usage on 64bit machine was doubled compared to 32bit while it have sticked to 8K. Hmm, it's not a fair to me and arm64 already expaned to 16K. ) So, my stupid idea is just let's expand stack size and keep an eye toward stack consumption on each kernel functions via stacktrace of ftrace. For example, we can have a bar like that each funcion shouldn't exceed 200K and emit the warning when some function consumes more in runtime. Of course, it could make false positive but at least, it could make a chance to think over it. I guess this topic was discussed several time so there might be strong reason not to increase kernel stack size on x86_64, for me not knowing so Ccing x86_64 maintainers, other MM guys and virtio maintainers. Here's an example call trace using up the kernel stack: Depth Size Location (51 entries) ----- ---- -------- 0) 7696 16 lookup_address 1) 7680 16 _lookup_address_cpa.isra.3 2) 7664 24 __change_page_attr_set_clr 3) 7640 392 kernel_map_pages 4) 7248 256 get_page_from_freelist 5) 6992 352 __alloc_pages_nodemask 6) 6640 8 alloc_pages_current 7) 6632 168 new_slab 8) 6464 8 __slab_alloc 9) 6456 80 __kmalloc 10) 6376 376 vring_add_indirect 11) 6000 144 virtqueue_add_sgs 12) 5856 288 __virtblk_add_req 13) 5568 96 virtio_queue_rq 14) 5472 128 __blk_mq_run_hw_queue 15) 5344 16 blk_mq_run_hw_queue 16) 5328 96 blk_mq_insert_requests 17) 5232 112 blk_mq_flush_plug_list 18) 5120 112 blk_flush_plug_list 19) 5008 64 io_schedule_timeout 20) 4944 128 mempool_alloc 21) 4816 96 bio_alloc_bioset 22) 4720 48 get_swap_bio 23) 4672 160 __swap_writepage 24) 4512 32 swap_writepage 25) 4480 320 shrink_page_list 26) 4160 208 shrink_inactive_list 27) 3952 304 shrink_lruvec 28) 3648 80 shrink_zone 29) 3568 128 do_try_to_free_pages 30) 3440 208 try_to_free_pages 31) 3232 352 __alloc_pages_nodemask 32) 2880 8 alloc_pages_current 33) 2872 200 __page_cache_alloc 34) 2672 80 find_or_create_page 35) 2592 80 ext4_mb_load_buddy 36) 2512 176 ext4_mb_regular_allocator 37) 2336 128 ext4_mb_new_blocks 38) 2208 256 ext4_ext_map_blocks 39) 1952 160 ext4_map_blocks 40) 1792 384 ext4_writepages 41) 1408 16 do_writepages 42) 1392 96 __writeback_single_inode 43) 1296 176 writeback_sb_inodes 44) 1120 80 __writeback_inodes_wb 45) 1040 160 wb_writeback 46) 880 208 bdi_writeback_workfn 47) 672 144 process_one_work 48) 528 112 worker_thread 49) 416 240 kthread 50) 176 176 ret_from_fork [ Note: the problem is exacerbated by certain gcc versions that seem to generate much bigger stack frames due to apparently bad coalescing of temporaries and generating too many spills. Rusty saw gcc-4.6.4 using 35% more stack on the virtio path than 4.8.2 does, for example. Minchan not only uses such a bad gcc version (4.6.3 in his case), but some of the stack use is due to debugging (CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is what causes that kernel_map_pages() frame, for example). But we're clearly getting too close. The VM code also seems to have excessive stack frames partly for the same compiler reason, triggered by excessive inlining and lots of function arguments. We need to improve on our stack use, but in the meantime let's do this simple stack increase too. Unlike most earlier reports, there is nothing simple that stands out as being really horribly wrong here, apart from the fact that the stack frames are just bigger than they should need to be. - Linus ] Signed-off-by: Minchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org> Cc: Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com> Cc: Dave Chinner <david@fromorbit.com> Cc: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com> Cc: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Mel Gorman <mgorman@suse.de> Cc: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Cc: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Cc: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Cc: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Cc: Michael S Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com> Cc: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@intel.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: PJ Waskiewicz <pjwaskiewicz@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

We have the same problem with ->d_lock order in the inner loop, where we are dropping references to ancestors. Same solution, basically - instead of using dentry_kill() we use lock_parent() (introduced in the previous commit) to get that lock in a safe way, recheck ->d_count (in case if lock_parent() has ended up dropping and retaking ->d_lock and somebody managed to grab a reference during that window), trylock the inode->i_lock and use __dentry_kill() to do the rest.

The cause of livelocks there is that we are taking ->d_lock on dentry and its parent in the wrong order, forcing us to use trylock on the parent's one. d_walk() takes them in the right order, and unfortunately it's not hard to create a situation when shrink_dentry_list() can't make progress since trylock keeps failing, and shrink_dcache_parent() or check_submounts_and_drop() keeps calling d_walk() disrupting the very shrink_dentry_list() it's waiting for. Solution is straightforward - if that trylock fails, let's unlock the dentry itself and take locks in the right order. We need to stabilize ->d_parent without holding ->d_lock, but that's doable using RCU. And we'd better do that in the very beginning of the loop in shrink_dentry_list(), since the checks on refcount, etc. would need to be redone anyway. That deals with a half of the problem - killing dentries on the shrink list itself. Another one (dropping their parents) is in the next commit. locking parent is interesting - it would be easy to do rcu_read_lock(), lock whatever we think is a parent, lock dentry itself and check if the parent is still the right one. Except that we need to check that *before* locking the dentry, or we are risking taking ->d_lock out of order. Fortunately, once the D1 is locked, we can check if D2->d_parent is equal to D1 without the need to lock D2; D2->d_parent can start or stop pointing to D1 only under D1->d_lock, so taking D1->d_lock is enough. In other words, the right solution is rcu_read_lock/lock what looks like parent right now/check if it's still our parent/rcu_read_unlock/lock the child.

Undo a feature introduced in v3.14 by commit fcd46b34 "firewire: Enable remote DMA above 4 GB". That change raised the minimum address at which protocol drivers and user programs can register for request reception from 0x0001'0000'0000 to 0x8000'0000'0000. It turned out that at least one vendor-specific protocol exists which uses lower addresses: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=76921 For the time being, revert most of commit fcd46b34 so that affected protocols work like with kernel v3.13 and before. Just keep the valid documentation parts from the regressing commit, and the ability to identify controllers which could be programmed to accept >32 bit physical DMA addresses. The rest of fcd46b34 should probably be brought back as an optional instead of default feature.

Commit 9c7e535f ("arm64: mm: Route pmd thp functions through pte equivalents") changed the pmd manipulator and accessor functions to convert the target pmd to a pte, process it with the pte functions, then convert it back. Along the way, we gained support for PTE_WRITE, however this is completely ignored by set_pmd_at, and so we fail to set the PMD_SECT_RDONLY for PMDs, resulting in all sorts of lovely failures (like CoW not working). Partially reverting the offending commit (by making use of PMD_SECT_RDONLY explicitly for pmd_{write,wrprotect,mkwrite} functions) leads to further issues because pmd_write can then return potentially incorrect values for page table entries marked as RDONLY, leading to BUG_ON(pmd_write(entry)) tripping under some THP workloads. This patch fixes the issue by routing set_pmd_at through set_pte_at, which correctly takes the PTE_WRITE flag into account. Given that THP mappings are always anonymous, the additional cache-flushing code in __sync_icache_dcache won't impose any significant overhead as the flush will be skipped.

It turns out that commit 0902a904 ("Driver core: Use generic offline/online for CPU offline/online") has changed the way those files retrieve their content by relying on on the generic attribute handling code.

The current deadlock detection logic does not work reliably due to the following early exit path: /* * Drop out, when the task has no waiters. Note, * top_waiter can be NULL, when we are in the deboosting * mode! */ if (top_waiter && (!task_has_pi_waiters(task) || top_waiter != task_top_pi_waiter(task))) goto out_unlock_pi; So this not only exits when the task has no waiters, it also exits unconditionally when the current waiter is not the top priority waiter of the task. So in a nested locking scenario, it might abort the lock chain walk and therefor miss a potential deadlock. Simple fix: Continue the chain walk, when deadlock detection is enabled. We also avoid the whole enqueue, if we detect the deadlock right away (A-A). It's an optimization, but also prevents that another waiter who comes in after the detection and before the task has undone the damage observes the situation and detects the deadlock and returns -EDEADLOCK, which is wrong as the other task is not in a deadlock situation.

Pull two powerpc fixes from Ben Herrenschmidt: "Here's a pair of powerpc fixes for 3.15 which are also going to stable. One's a fix for building with newer binutils (the problem currently only affects the BookE kernels but the affected macro might come back into use on BookS platforms at any time). Unfortunately, the binutils maintainer did a backward incompatible change to a construct that we use so we have to add Makefile check. The other one is a fix for CPUs getting stuck in kexec when running single threaded. Since we routinely use kexec on power (including in our newer bootloaders), I deemed that important enough" * 'merge' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/benh/powerpc: powerpc, kexec: Fix "Processor X is stuck" issue during kexec from ST mode powerpc: Fix 64 bit builds with binutils 2.24

It can happen only when dentry_kill() is called with unlock_on_failure equal to 0 - other callers had dentry pinned until the moment they've got ->d_lock and DCACHE_DENTRY_KILLED is set only after lockref_mark_dead(). IOW, only one of three call sites of dentry_kill() might end up reaching that code. Just move it there. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

ptrace_{get,set}_watch_regs access current_cpu_data to get the watch register count/masks, which calls smp_processor_id(). However they are run in preemptible context and therefore trigger warnings like so: [ 6340.092000] BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code: gdb/367 [ 6340.092000] caller is ptrace_get_watch_regs+0x44/0x220 Since the watch register count/masks should be the same across all CPUs, use boot_cpu_data instead. Note that this may need to change in future should a heterogenous system be supported where the count/masks are not the same across all CPUs (the current code is also incorrect for this scenario - current_cpu_data here would not necessarily be correct for the CPU that the target task will execute on).
