checkpatch: attempt to find missing switch/case break;

switch case statements missing a break statement are an unfortunately
common error.

e.g.:
  commit 4a2c94c9b6c0 ("HID: kye: Add report fixup for Genius Manticore Keyboard")

case blocks should end in a break/return/goto/continue.

If a fall-through is used, it should have a comment showing that it is
intentional.  Ideally that comment should be something like:
"/* fall-through */"

Add a test to look for missing break statements.

This looks only at the context lines before an inserted case so it's
possible to have false positives when the context contains a close brace
and the break is before the brace and not part of the patch context.

Looking at recent patches, this is a pretty rare occurrence.  The normal
kernel style uses a break as the last line of the previous block.

10 years agotest: add minimal module for verification testing
Kees Cook [Thu, 23 Jan 2014 23:54:37 +0000 (15:54 -0800)]
test: add minimal module for verification testing

This is a pair of test modules I'd like to see in the tree.  Instead of
putting these in lkdtm, where I've been adding various tests that trigger
crashes, these don't make sense there since they need to be either
distinctly separate, or their pass/fail state don't need to crash the
machine.

These live in lib/ for now, along with a few other in-kernel test modules,
and use the slightly more common "test_" naming convention, instead of
"test-".  We should likely standardize on the former:

$ find . -name 'test_*.c' | grep -v /tools/ | wc -l
4
$ find . -name 'test-*.c' | grep -v /tools/ | wc -l
2

The first is entirely a no-op module, designed to allow simple testing of
the module loading and verification interface.  It's useful to have a
module that has no other uses or dependencies so it can be reliably used
for just testing module loading and verification.

The second is a module that exercises the user memory access functions, in
an effort to make sure that we can quickly catch any regressions in
boundary checking (e.g.  like what was recently fixed on ARM).

This patch (of 2):

When doing module loading verification tests (for example, with module
signing, or LSM hooks), it is very handy to have a module that can be
built on all systems under test, isn't auto-loaded at boot, and has no
device or similar dependencies.  This creates the "test_module.ko" module
for that purpose, which only reports its load and unload to printk.

get_maintainer: add commit author information to --rolestats

interested parties to send patches to when the MAINTAINERS file does not
have a specific section entry with a matching file pattern.

information provided by --rolestats.

These statistics are also emitted whenever --rolestats and --git are

"added_lines", and "removed_lines" are also used as criterion for the

headers_check: special case seqbuf_dump()

"make headers_check" warns about soundcard.h for (at least) five years
now:
    [...]/usr/include/linux/soundcard.h:1054: userspace cannot reference function or variable defined in the kernel

We're apparently stuck with providing OSSlib-3.8 compatibility, so let's
special case this declaration just to silence it.

Notes:

0) Support for OSSlib post 3.8 was already removed in commit 43a990765a
   ("sound: Remove OSSlib stuff from linux/soundcard.h").  Five years have
   passed since that commit: do people still care about OSSlib-3.8?  If
   not, quite a bit of code could be remove from soundcard.h (and probably
   ultrasound.h).

2) By the way, what is actually meant by:
    It is no longer possible to actually link against OSSlib with this
    header, but we still provide these macros for programs using them.

Doesn't that mean compatibility to OSSlib isn't even useful?

3) Anyhow, a previous discussion soundcard.h, which led to that commit,
   starts at https://lkml.org/lkml/2009/1/20/349 .

4) And, yes, I sneaked in a whitespace fix.

Initial problem came from missed VM_SOFTDIRTY in do_brk() routine but
even if we would set up VM_SOFTDIRTY here, there is still a way to
prevent VMAs from merging: one can call

 | echo 4 > /proc/$PID/clear_refs

and clear all VM_SOFTDIRTY over all VMAs presented in memory map, then
new do_brk() will try to extend old VMA and finds that dirty bit doesn't
match thus new VMA will be generated.

As discussed with Pavel, the right approach should be to ignore
VM_SOFTDIRTY bit when we're trying to merge VMAs and if merge successed
we mark extended VMA with dirty bit where needed.

memcg: fix css reference leak and endless loop in mem_cgroup_iter

Commit 19f39402864e ("memcg: simplify mem_cgroup_iter") has reorganized
mem_cgroup_iter code in order to simplify it.  A part of that change was
dropping an optimization which didn't call css_tryget on the root of the
walked tree.  The patch however didn't change the css_put part in
mem_cgroup_iter which excludes root.

This wasn't an issue at the time because __mem_cgroup_iter_next bailed
out for root early without taking a reference as cgroup iterators
(css_next_descendant_pre) didn't visit root themselves.

Nevertheless cgroup iterators have been reworked to visit root by commit
bd8815a6d802 ("cgroup: make css_for_each_descendant() and friends
include the origin css in the iteration") when the root bypass have been
dropped in __mem_cgroup_iter_next.  This means that css_put is not
called for root and so css along with mem_cgroup and other cgroup
internal object tied by css lifetime are never freed.

Fix the issue by reintroducing root check in __mem_cgroup_iter_next and
do not take css reference for it.

This reference counting magic protects us also from another issue, an
endless loop reported by Hugh Dickins when reclaim races with root
removal and css_tryget called by iterator internally would fail.  There
would be no other nodes to visit so __mem_cgroup_iter_next would return
NULL and mem_cgroup_iter would interpret it as "start looping from root
again" and so mem_cgroup_iter would loop forever internally.

 mm/mmu_notifier.c              bool MMU_NOTIFIER

Note that direct use of __initcall is discouraged, vs.  one of the
priority categorized subgroups.  As __initcall gets mapped onto
device_initcall, our use of subsys_initcall (which makes sense for these
files) will thus change this registration from level 6-device to level
4-subsys (i.e.  slightly earlier).

However no observable impact of that difference has been observed during
testing.

One might think that core_initcall (l2) or postcore_initcall (l3) would
be more appropriate for anything in mm/ but if we look at some actual
init functions themselves, we see things like:

mm/huge_memory.c --> hugepage_init     --> hugepage_init_sysfs
mm/mmap.c        --> init_user_reserve --> sysctl_user_reserve_kbytes
mm/ksm.c         --> ksm_init          --> sysfs_create_group

and hence the choice of subsys_initcall (l4) seems reasonable, and at
the same time minimizes the risk of changing the priority too
drastically all at once.  We can adjust further in the future.

Also, several instances of missing ";" at EOL are fixed.

10 years agomm/mm_init.c: make creation of the mm_kobj happen earlier than device_initcall
Paul Gortmaker [Thu, 23 Jan 2014 23:53:29 +0000 (15:53 -0800)]
mm/mm_init.c: make creation of the mm_kobj happen earlier than device_initcall

The use of __initcall is to be eventually replaced by choosing one from
the prioritized groupings laid out in init.h header:

pure_initcall               0
core_initcall               1
postcore_initcall           2
arch_initcall               3
subsys_initcall             4
fs_initcall                 5
device_initcall             6
late_initcall               7

In the interim, all __initcall are mapped onto device_initcall, which as
can be seen above, comes quite late in the ordering.

Currently the mm_kobj is created with __initcall in mm_sysfs_init().
This means that any other initcalls that want to reference the mm_kobj
have to be device_initcall (or later), otherwise we will for example,
trip the BUG_ON(!kobj) in sysfs's internal_create_group().  This
unfairly restricts those users; for example something that clearly makes
sense to be an arch_initcall will not be able to choose that.

However, upon examination, it is only this way for historical reasons
(i.e.  simply not reprioritized yet).  We see that sysfs is ready quite
earlier in init/main.c via:

 vfs_caches_init
 |_ mnt_init
    |_ sysfs_init

well ahead of the processing of the prioritized calls listed above.

So we can recategorize mm_sysfs_init to be a pure_initcall, which in
turn allows any mm_kobj initcall users a wider range (1 --> 7) of
initcall priorities to choose from.

mm/memory_hotplug.c: move register_memory_resource out of the lock_memory_hotplug

We don't need to do register_memory_resource() under

callbacks.

Also register_memory_resource return NULL on failure so we don't have
anything to cleanup at this point.

The reason for this rfc is I was doing some experiments with hotplugging
of memory on some of our larger systems.  While it seems to work, it can
be quite slow.  With some preliminary digging I found that
lock_memory_hotplug is clearly ripe for breakup.

It could be broken up per nid or something but it also covers the
online_page_callback.  The online_page_callback shouldn't be very hard
to break out.

Also there is the issue of various structures(wmarks come to mind) that

10 years agomm: vmscan: shrink all slab objects if tight on memory
Vladimir Davydov [Thu, 23 Jan 2014 23:53:22 +0000 (15:53 -0800)]
mm: vmscan: shrink all slab objects if tight on memory

When reclaiming kmem, we currently don't scan slabs that have less than
batch_size objects (see shrink_slab_node()):

        while (total_scan >= batch_size) {
                shrinkctl->nr_to_scan = batch_size;
                shrinker->scan_objects(shrinker, shrinkctl);
                total_scan -= batch_size;
        }

If there are only a few shrinkers available, such a behavior won't cause
any problems, because the batch_size is usually small, but if we have a
lot of slab shrinkers, which is perfectly possible since FS shrinkers
are now per-superblock, we can end up with hundreds of megabytes of
practically unreclaimable kmem objects.  For instance, mounting a
thousand of ext2 FS images with a hundred of files in each and iterating
over all the files using du(1) will result in about 200 Mb of FS caches
that cannot be dropped even with the aid of the vm.drop_caches sysctl!

This problem was initially pointed out by Glauber Costa [*].  Glauber
proposed to fix it by making the shrink_slab() always take at least one
pass, to put it simply, turning the scan loop above to a do{}while()
loop.  However, this proposal was rejected, because it could result in
more aggressive and frequent slab shrinking even under low memory
pressure when total_scan is naturally very small.

This patch is a slightly modified version of Glauber's approach.
Similarly to Glauber's patch, it makes shrink_slab() scan less than
batch_size objects, but only if the total number of objects we want to
scan (total_scan) is greater than the total number of objects available
(max_pass).  Since total_scan is biased as half max_pass if the current
delta change is small:

        if (delta < max_pass / 4)
                total_scan = min(total_scan, max_pass / 2);

this is only possible if we are scanning at high prio.  That said, this
patch shouldn't change the vmscan behaviour if the memory pressure is
low, but if we are tight on memory, we will do our best by trying to
reclaim all available objects, which sounds reasonable.

head page at the end of memory_failure().  This strange page fault is
trying to access to address 0x20 and I'm not sure why qemu-kvm does
this, but anyway as a result the SIGSEGV makes qemu-kvm exit and on the
way we catch the bad page bug/warning because we try to free a locked
page (which was the former head page.)

To fix this, this patch suggests to shift page lock from head page to
tail page just after thp split.  SIGSEGV still happens, but it affects
only error affected VMs, not a whole system.

memcg: rework memcg_update_kmem_limit synchronization

Currently we take both the memcg_create_mutex and the set_limit_mutex
when we enable kmem accounting for a memory cgroup, which makes kmem
activation events serialize with both memcg creations and other memcg
limit updates (memory.limit, memory.memsw.limit).  However, there is no
point in such strict synchronization rules there.

First, the set_limit_mutex was introduced to keep the memory.limit and
memory.memsw.limit values in sync.  Since memory.kmem.limit can be set
independently of them, it is better to introduce a separate mutex to
synchronize against concurrent kmem limit updates.

Second, we take the memcg_create_mutex in order to make sure all
children of this memcg will be kmem-active as well.  For achieving that,
it is enough to hold this mutex only while checking if
memcg_has_children() though.  This guarantees that if a child is added
after we checked that the memcg has no children, the newly added cgroup
will see its parent kmem-active (of course if the latter succeeded), and
call kmem activation for itself.

This patch simplifies the locking rules of memcg_update_kmem_limit()
according to these considerations.

10 years agomemcg: remove KMEM_ACCOUNTED_ACTIVATED flag
Vladimir Davydov [Thu, 23 Jan 2014 23:53:08 +0000 (15:53 -0800)]
memcg: remove KMEM_ACCOUNTED_ACTIVATED flag

Currently we have two state bits in mem_cgroup::kmem_account_flags
regarding kmem accounting activation, ACTIVATED and ACTIVE.  We start
kmem accounting only if both flags are set (memcg_can_account_kmem()),
plus throughout the code there are several places where we check only
the ACTIVE flag, but we never check the ACTIVATED flag alone.  These
flags are both set from memcg_update_kmem_limit() under the
set_limit_mutex, the ACTIVE flag always being set after ACTIVATED, and
they never get cleared.  That said checking if both flags are set is
equivalent to checking only for the ACTIVE flag, and since there is no
ACTIVATED flag checks, we can safely remove the ACTIVATED flag, and
nothing will change.

Let's try to understand what was the reason for introducing these flags.
The purpose of the ACTIVE flag is clear - it states that kmem should be
accounting to the cgroup.  The only requirement for it is that it should
be set after we have fully initialized kmem accounting bits for the
cgroup and patched all static branches relating to kmem accounting.
Since we always check if static branch is enabled before actually
considering if we should account (otherwise we wouldn't benefit from
static branching), this guarantees us that we won't skip a commit or
uncharge after a charge due to an unpatched static branch.

Now let's move on to the ACTIVATED bit.  As I proved in the beginning of
this message, it is absolutely useless, and removing it will change
nothing.  So what was the reason introducing it?

The ACTIVATED flag was introduced by commit a8964b9b84f9 ("memcg: use
static branches when code not in use") in order to guarantee that
static_key_slow_inc(&memcg_kmem_enabled_key) would be called only once
for each memory cgroup when its kmem accounting was activated.  The
point was that at that time the memcg_update_kmem_limit() function's
work-flow looked like this:

        bool must_inc_static_branch = false;

        cgroup_lock();
        mutex_lock(&set_limit_mutex);
        if (!memcg->kmem_account_flags && val != RESOURCE_MAX) {
                /* The kmem limit is set for the first time */
                ret = res_counter_set_limit(&memcg->kmem, val);

                memcg_kmem_set_activated(memcg);
                must_inc_static_branch = true;
        } else
                ret = res_counter_set_limit(&memcg->kmem, val);
        mutex_unlock(&set_limit_mutex);
        cgroup_unlock();

        if (must_inc_static_branch) {
                /* We can't do this under cgroup_lock */
                static_key_slow_inc(&memcg_kmem_enabled_key);
                memcg_kmem_set_active(memcg);
        }

So that without the ACTIVATED flag we could race with other threads
trying to set the limit and increment the static branching ref-counter
more than once.  Today we call the whole memcg_update_kmem_limit()
function under the set_limit_mutex and this race is impossible.

As now we understand why the ACTIVATED bit was introduced and why we
don't need it now, and know that removing it will change nothing anyway,
let's get rid of it.

memcg, slab: fix races in per-memcg cache creation/destruction

We obtain a per-memcg cache from a root kmem_cache by dereferencing an
entry of the root cache's memcg_params::memcg_caches array.  If we find
no cache for a memcg there on allocation, we initiate the memcg cache
creation (see memcg_kmem_get_cache()).  The cache creation proceeds
asynchronously in memcg_create_kmem_cache() in order to avoid lock
clashes, so there can be several threads trying to create the same
kmem_cache concurrently, but only one of them may succeed.  However, due
to a race in the code, it is not always true.  The point is that the
memcg_caches array can be relocated when we activate kmem accounting for
a memcg (see memcg_update_all_caches(), memcg_update_cache_size()).  If
memcg_update_cache_size() and memcg_create_kmem_cache() proceed
concurrently as described below, we can leak a kmem_cache.

Asume two threads schedule creation of the same kmem_cache.  One of them
successfully creates it.  Another one should fail then, but if
memcg_create_kmem_cache() interleaves with memcg_update_cache_size() as
follows, it won't:

  memcg_create_kmem_cache()             memcg_update_cache_size()
  (called w/o mutexes held)             (called with slab_mutex,
                                         set_limit_mutex held)
  -------------------------             -------------------------

  mutex_lock(&memcg_cache_mutex)

                                        s->memcg_params=kzalloc(...)

  new_cachep=cache_from_memcg_idx(cachep,idx)
  // new_cachep==NULL => proceed to creation

                                        s->memcg_params->memcg_caches[i]
                                            =cur_params->memcg_caches[i]

  // kmem_cache_create_memcg takes slab_mutex
  // so we will hang around until
  // memcg_update_cache_size finishes, but
  // nothing will prevent it from succeeding so
  // memcg_caches[idx] will be overwritten in
  // memcg_register_cache!

  new_cachep = kmem_cache_create_memcg(...)
  mutex_unlock(&memcg_cache_mutex)

Let's fix this by moving the check for existence of the memcg cache to
kmem_cache_create_memcg() to be called under the slab_mutex and make it
return NULL if so.

A similar race is possible when destroying a memcg cache (see
kmem_cache_destroy()).  Since memcg_unregister_cache(), which clears the
pointer in the memcg_caches array, is called w/o protection, we can race
with memcg_update_cache_size() and omit clearing the pointer.  Therefore
memcg_unregister_cache() should be moved before we release the
slab_mutex.
