Now that gfs2_lookup_by_inum only takes the inode glock for new inodes (and not for cached inodes anymore), there no longer is a need to optimize the cached-inode case in gfs2_get_dentry or delete_work_func, and gfs2_ilookup can be removed. In addition, gfs2_get_dentry wasn't checking the GFS2_DIF_SYSTEM flag in i_diskflags in the gfs2_ilookup case (see gfs2_lookup_by_inum); this inconsistency goes away as well.

The current gfs2_lookup_by_inum takes the glock of a presumed inode identified by block number, verifies that the block is indeed an inode, and then instantiates and reads the new inode via gfs2_inode_lookup. However, instantiating a new inode may block on freeing a previous instance of that inode (__wait_on_freeing_inode), and freeing an inode requires to take the glock already held, leading to lock inversion and deadlock. Fix this by first instantiating the new inode, then verifying that the block is an inode (if required), and then reading in the new inode, all in gfs2_inode_lookup. If the block we are looking for is not an inode, we discard the new inode via iget_failed, which marks inodes as bad and unhashes them. Other tasks waiting on that inode will get back a bad inode back from ilookup or iget_locked; in that case, retry the lookup.

In gfs2_init_inode_once, initialize inode->i_iopen_gh.gh_gl to NULL: otherwise, when gfs2_inode_lookup fails, the iopen glock holder can remain unset and iget_failed can end up accessing random memory.

Before this patch, function read_rindex_entry would set a rgrp glock's gl_object pointer to itself before inserting the rgrp into the rgrp rbtree. The problem is: if another process was also reading the rgrp in, and had already inserted its newly created rgrp, then the second call to read_rindex_entry would overwrite that value, then return a bad return code to the caller. Later, other functions would reference the now-freed rgrp memory by way of gl_object. In some cases, that could result in gfs2_rgrp_brelse being called twice for the same rgrp: once for the failed attempt and once for the "real" rgrp release. Eventually the kernel would panic. There are also a number of other things that could go wrong when a kernel module is accessing freed storage. For example, this could result in rgrp corruption because the fake rgrp would point to a fake bitmap in memory too, causing gfs2_inplace_reserve to search some random memory for free blocks, and find some, since we were never setting rgd->rd_bits to NULL before freeing it. This patch fixes the problem by not setting gl_object until we have successfully inserted the rgrp into the rbtree. Also, it sets rd_bits to NULL as it frees them, which will ensure any accidental access to the wrong rgrp will result in a kernel panic rather than file system corruption, which is preferred.

Instead of having two functions for cycling through the E820 map in order to count to be remapped pages and remap them later, just use one function with a caller supplied sub-function called for each region to be processed. This eliminates the possibility of a mismatch between both loops which showed up in certain configurations.

Commit ff1e22e7 ("xen/events: Mask a moving irq") open-coded irq_move_irq() but left out checking if the IRQ is disabled. This broke resuming from suspend since it tries to move a (disabled) irq without holding the IRQ's desc->lock. Fix it by adding in a check for disabled IRQs.

The XEN UEFI code has become available on the ARM architecture recently, but now causes a link-time warning: ld: warning: drivers/xen/efi.o uses 2-byte wchar_t yet the output is to use 4-byte wchar_t; use of wchar_t values across objects may fail This seems harmless, because the efi code only uses 2-byte characters when interacting with EFI, so we don't pass on those strings to elsewhere in the system, and we just need to silence the warning. It is not clear to me whether we actually need to build the file with the -fshort-wchar flag, but if we do, then we should also pass --no-wchar-size-warning to the linker, to avoid the warning.

IOCTL_GNTDEV_GRANT_COPY batches copy operations to reduce the number of hypercalls. The stack is used to avoid a memory allocation in a hot path. However, a batch size of 24 requires more than 1024 bytes of stack which in some configurations causes a compiler warning. xen/gntdev.c: In function ‘gntdev_ioctl_grant_copy’: xen/gntdev.c:949:1: warning: the frame size of 1248 bytes is larger than 1024 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=] This is a harmless warning as there is still plenty of stack spare, but people keep trying to "fix" it. Reduce the batch size to 16 to reduce stack usage to less than 1024 bytes. This should have minimal impact on performance. Signed-off-by: David Vrabel <david.vrabel@citrix.com>

On slow platforms with unreliable TSC, such as QEMU emulated machines, it is possible for the kernel to request the next event in the past. In that case, in the current implementation of xen_vcpuop_clockevent, we simply return -ETIME. To be precise the Xen returns -ETIME and we pass it on. However the result of this is a missed event, which simply causes the kernel to hang. Instead it is better to always ask the hypervisor for a timer event, even if the timeout is in the past. That way there are no lost interrupts and the kernel survives. To do that, remove the VCPU_SSHOTTMR_future flag.

coredump_wait waits for mmap_sem for write currently which can prevent oom_reaper to reclaim the oom victims address space asynchronously because that requires mmap_sem for read. This might happen if the oom victim is multi threaded and some thread(s) is holding mmap_sem for read (e.g. page fault) and it is stuck in the page allocator while other thread(s) reached coredump_wait already. This patch simply uses down_write_killable and bails out with EINTR if the lock got interrupted by the fatal signal. do_coredump will return right away and do_group_exit will take care to zap the whole thread group.

CLEAR_REFS_MM_HIWATER_RSS and CLEAR_REFS_SOFT_DIRTY are relying on mmap_sem for write. If the waiting task gets killed by the oom killer and it would operate on the current's mm it would block oom_reaper from asynchronous address space reclaim and reduce the chances of timely OOM resolving. Wait for the lock in the killable mode and return with EINTR if the task got killed while waiting. This will also expedite the return to the userspace and do_exit even if the mm is remote.

Now that all the callers handle vm_brk failure we can change it wait for mmap_sem killable to help oom_reaper to not get blocked just because vm_brk gets blocked behind mmap_sem readers.

load_elf_library doesn't handle vm_brk failure although nothing really indicates it cannot do that because the function is allowed to fail due to vm_mmap failures already. This might be not a problem now but later patch will make vm_brk killable (resp. mmap_sem for write waiting will become killable) and so the failure will be more probable.

vm_brk is allowed to fail but load_aout_binary simply ignores the error and happily continues. I haven't noticed any problem from that in real life but later patches will make the failure more likely because vm_brk will become killable (resp. mmap_sem for write waiting will become killable) so we should be more careful now. The error handling should be quite straightforward because there are calls to vm_mmap which check the error properly already. The only notable exception is set_brk which is called after beyond_if label. But nothing indicates that we cannot move it above set_binfmt as the two do not depend on each other and fail before we do set_binfmt and alter reference counting.

Almost all current users of vm_munmap are ignoring the return value and so they do not handle potential error. This means that some VMAs might stay behind. This patch doesn't try to solve those potential problems. Quite contrary it adds a new failure mode by using down_write_killable in vm_munmap. This should be safer than other failure modes, though, because the process is guaranteed to die as soon as it leaves the kernel and exit_mmap will clean the whole address space. This will help in the OOM conditions when the oom victim might be stuck waiting for the mmap_sem for write which in turn can block oom_reaper which relies on the mmap_sem for read to make a forward progress and reclaim the address space of the victim.

All the callers of vm_mmap seem to check for the failure already and bail out in one way or another on the error which means that we can change it to use killable version of vm_mmap_pgoff and return -EINTR if the current task gets killed while waiting for mmap_sem. This also means that vm_mmap_pgoff can be killable by default and drop the additional parameter. This will help in the OOM conditions when the oom victim might be stuck waiting for the mmap_sem for write which in turn can block oom_reaper which relies on the mmap_sem for read to make a forward progress and reclaim the address space of the victim. Please note that load_elf_binary is ignoring vm_mmap error for current->personality & MMAP_PAGE_ZERO case but that shouldn't be a problem because the address is not used anywhere and we never return to the userspace if we got killed.

This is a follow up work for oom_reaper [1]. As the async OOM killing depends on oom_sem for read we would really appreciate if a holder for write didn't stood in the way. This patchset is changing many of down_write calls to be killable to help those cases when the writer is blocked and waiting for readers to release the lock and so help __oom_reap_task to process the oom victim. Most of the patches are really trivial because the lock is help from a shallow syscall paths where we can return EINTR trivially and allow the current task to die (note that EINTR will never get to the userspace as the task has fatal signal pending). Others seem to be easy as well as the callers are already handling fatal errors and bail and return to userspace which should be sufficient to handle the failure gracefully. I am not familiar with all those code paths so a deeper review is really appreciated. As this work is touching more areas which are not directly connected I have tried to keep the CC list as small as possible and people who I believed would be familiar are CCed only to the specific patches (all should have received the cover though). This patchset is based on linux-next and it depends on down_write_killable for rw_semaphores which got merged into tip locking/rwsem branch and it is merged into this next tree. I guess it would be easiest to route these patches via mmotm because of the dependency on the tip tree but if respective maintainers prefer other way I have no objections. I haven't covered all the mmap_write(mm->mmap_sem) instances here $ git grep "down_write(.*\<mmap_sem\>)" next/master | wc -l 98 $ git grep "down_write(.*\<mmap_sem\>)" | wc -l 62 I have tried to cover those which should be relatively easy to review in this series because this alone should be a nice improvement. Other places can be changed on top.

It focuses on the trivial ones which are taking the lock early after entering the syscall and they are not changing state before. Therefore it is very easy to change them to use down_write_killable and immediately return with -EINTR. This will allow the waiter to pass away without blocking the mmap_sem which might be required to make a forward progress. E.g. the oom reaper will need the lock for reading to dismantle the OOM victim address space. The only tricky function in this patch is vm_mmap_pgoff which has many call sites via vm_mmap. To reduce the risk keep vm_mmap with the original non-killable semantic for now. vm_munmap callers do not bother checking the return value so open code it into the munmap syscall path for now for simplicity.
