Having a discussion about sparse warnings in the kernel, and that we
should clean them up, I decided to pick a random file to do so.  This
happened to be devres.c which gives the following warnings:

    CHECK   lib/devres.c
  lib/devres.c:83:9: warning: cast removes address space of expression
  lib/devres.c:117:31: warning: incorrect type in return expression (different address spaces)

  lib/devres.c:226:9: warning: cast removes address space of expression

Mostly it's just the use of typecasting to void * without adding
__force, or returning ERR_PTR(-ESOMEERR) without typecasting to a
__iomem type.

I added a helper macro IOMEM_ERR_PTR() that does the typecast to make
the code a little nicer than adding ugly typecasts to the code.

b) Plug-out CPUx:
cpu_add_remove_lock (@(cpu_down())
cpu_hotplug.lock (@_cpu_down())
console_lock (@console_cpu_notify()) => Lockdeps prints warning log.

There should be not real deadlock, as flag of console_suspended can
protect this.

Although console_suspend() releases console_sem, it doesn't tell lockdep
about it.  That results in the lockdep warning about circular locking
when doing the following: enter suspend -> resume -> plug-out CPUx (echo
0 > cpux/online)

Fix the problem by telling lockdep we actually released the semaphore in
console_suspend() and acquired it again in console_resume().

printk: use also the last bytes in the ring buffer

It seems that we have newer used the last byte in the ring buffer.  In
fact, we have newer used the last 4 bytes because of padding.

First problem is in the check for free space.  The exact number of free
bytes is enough to store the length of data.

Second problem is in the check where the ring buffer is rotated.  The
left side counts the first unused index.  It is unused, so it might be
the same as the size of the buffer.

Note that the first problem has to be fixed together with the second
one.  Otherwise, the buffer is rotated even when there is enough space
on the end of the buffer.  Then the beginning of the buffer is rewritten
and valid entries get corrupted.

10 years agokernel: audit/fix non-modular users of module_init in core code
Paul Gortmaker [Thu, 3 Apr 2014 21:48:35 +0000 (14:48 -0700)]
kernel: audit/fix non-modular users of module_init in core code

Code that is obj-y (always built-in) or dependent on a bool Kconfig
(built-in or absent) can never be modular.  So using module_init as an
alias for __initcall can be somewhat misleading.

Fix these up now, so that we can relocate module_init from init.h into
module.h in the future.  If we don't do this, we'd have to add module.h
to obviously non-modular code, and that would be a worse thing.

The audit targets the following module_init users for change:
 kernel/user.c                  obj-y
 kernel/kexec.c                 bool KEXEC (one instance per arch)
 kernel/profile.c               bool PROFILING
 kernel/hung_task.c             bool DETECT_HUNG_TASK
 kernel/sched/stats.c           bool SCHEDSTATS
 kernel/user_namespace.c        bool USER_NS

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.

Also, two instances of missing ";" at EOL are fixed in kexec.

10 years agoslub: do not drop slab_mutex for sysfs_slab_add
Vladimir Davydov [Thu, 3 Apr 2014 21:48:22 +0000 (14:48 -0700)]
slub: do not drop slab_mutex for sysfs_slab_add

We release the slab_mutex while calling sysfs_slab_add from
__kmem_cache_create since commit 66c4c35c6bc5 ("slub: Do not hold
slub_lock when calling sysfs_slab_add()"), because kobject_uevent called
by sysfs_slab_add might block waiting for the usermode helper to exec,
which would result in a deadlock if we took the slab_mutex while
executing it.

However, apart from complicating synchronization rules, releasing the
slab_mutex on kmem cache creation can result in a kmemcg-related race.
The point is that we check if the memcg cache exists before going to
__kmem_cache_create, but register the new cache in memcg subsys after
it.  Since we can drop the mutex there, several threads can see that the
memcg cache does not exist and proceed to creating it, which is wrong.

Fortunately, recently kobject_uevent was patched to call the usermode
helper with the UMH_NO_WAIT flag, making the deadlock impossible.
Therefore there is no point in releasing the slab_mutex while calling
sysfs_slab_add, so let's simplify kmem_cache_create synchronization and
fix the kmemcg-race mentioned above by holding the slab_mutex during the
whole cache creation path.

10 years agokobject: don't block for each kobject_uevent
Vladimir Davydov [Thu, 3 Apr 2014 21:48:21 +0000 (14:48 -0700)]
kobject: don't block for each kobject_uevent

Currently kobject_uevent has somewhat unpredictable semantics.  The
point is, since it may call a usermode helper and wait for it to execute
(UMH_WAIT_EXEC), it is impossible to say for sure what lock dependencies
it will introduce for the caller - strictly speaking it depends on what
fs the binary is located on and the set of locks fork may take.  There
are quite a few kobject_uevent's users that do not take this into
account and call it with various mutexes taken, e.g.  rtnl_mutex,
net_mutex, which might potentially lead to a deadlock.

Since there is actually no reason to wait for the usermode helper to
execute there, let's make kobject_uevent start the helper asynchronously
with the aid of the UMH_NO_WAIT flag.

Personally, I'm interested in this, because I really want kobject_uevent
to be called under the slab_mutex in the slub implementation as it used
to be some time ago, because it greatly simplifies synchronization and
automatically fixes a kmemcg-related race.  However, there was a
deadlock detected on an attempt to call kobject_uevent under the
slab_mutex (see https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/1/14/45), which was reported
to be fixed by releasing the slab_mutex for kobject_uevent.

Unfortunately, there was no information about who exactly blocked on the
slab_mutex causing the usermode helper to stall, neither have I managed
to find this out or reproduce the issue.

BTW, this is not the first attempt to make kobject_uevent use
UMH_NO_WAIT.  Previous one was made by commit f520360d93cd ("kobject:
don't block for each kobject_uevent"), but it was wrong (it passed
arguments allocated on stack to async thread) so it was reverted in
05f54c13cd0c ("Revert "kobject: don't block for each kobject_uevent".").
It targeted on speeding up the boot process though.

drop_caches: add some documentation and info message

There is plenty of anecdotal evidence and a load of blog posts
suggesting that using "drop_caches" periodically keeps your system
running in "tip top shape".  Perhaps adding some kernel documentation
will increase the amount of accurate data on its use.

If we are not shrinking caches effectively, then we have real bugs.
Using drop_caches will simply mask the bugs and make them harder to
find, but certainly does not fix them, nor is it an appropriate
"workaround" to limit the size of the caches.  On the contrary, there
have been bug reports on issues that turned out to be misguided use of
cache dropping.

Dropping caches is a very drastic and disruptive operation that is good
for debugging and running tests, but if it creates bug reports from
production use, kernel developers should be aware of its use.

Add a bit more documentation about it, a syslog message to track down
abusers, and vmstat drop counters to help analyze problem reports.

10 years agomm: remove read_cache_page_async()
Sasha Levin [Thu, 3 Apr 2014 21:48:18 +0000 (14:48 -0700)]
mm: remove read_cache_page_async()

This patch removes read_cache_page_async() which wasn't really needed
anywhere and simplifies the code around it a bit.

read_cache_page_async() is useful when we want to read a page into the
cache without waiting for it to complete.  This happens when the
appropriate callback 'filler' doesn't complete its read operation and
releases the page lock immediately, and instead queues a different
completion routine to do that.  This never actually happened anywhere in
the code.

read_cache_page_async() had 3 different callers:

- read_cache_page() which is the sync version, it would just wait for
  the requested read to complete using wait_on_page_read().

- JFFS2 would call it from jffs2_gc_fetch_page(), but the filler
  function it supplied doesn't do any async reads, and would complete
  before the filler function returns - making it actually a sync read.

- CRAMFS would call it using the read_mapping_page_async() wrapper, with
  a similar story to JFFS2 - the filler function doesn't do anything that
  reminds async reads and would always complete before the filler function
  returns.

To sum it up, the code in mm/filemap.c never took advantage of having
read_cache_page_async().  While there are filler callbacks that do async
reads (such as the block one), we always called it with the
read_cache_page().

This patch adds a mandatory wait for read to complete when adding a new
page to the cache, and removes read_cache_page_async() and its wrappers.
