* flex_array: convert element_nr formals to unsignedDavid Rientjes2009-08-262-15/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It's problematic to allow signed element_nr's or total's to be passed as part of the flex array API. flex_array_alloc() allows total_nr_elements to be set to a negative quantity, which is obviously erroneous. flex_array_get() and flex_array_put() allows negative array indices in dereferencing an array part, which could address memory mapped before struct flex_array. The fix is to convert all existing element_nr formals to be qualified as unsigned. Existing checks to compare it to total_nr_elements or the max array size based on element_size need not be changed.

* flex_array: fix get function for elements in base starting at non-zeroDavid Rientjes2009-08-261-6/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If all array elements fit into the base structure and data is copied using flex_array_put() starting at a non-zero index, flex_array_get() will fail to return the data. This fixes the bug by only checking for NULL parts when all elements do not fit in the base structure when flex_array_get() is used. Otherwise, fa_element_to_part_nr() will always be 0 since there are no parts structures needed and such element may never have been put. Thus, it will remain NULL due to the kzalloc() of the base. Additionally, flex_array_put() now only checks for a NULL part when all elements do not fit in the base structure. This is otherwise unnecessary since the base structure is guaranteed to exist (or we would have already hit a NULL pointer).

But with kgdb, kernel address probing, and other facilities we can try to access arbitrary crap. So, make sure the address we miss on will translate to physical memory that actually exists. In order to make this work we have to embed the valid address bitmap into the kernel image. And in order to make that less expensive we make an adjustment, in that the max physical memory address is decreased to "1 << 41", even on the chips that support a 42-bit physical address space. We can do this because bit 41 indicates "I/O space" and thus covers non-memory ranges. The result of this is that: 1) kpte_linear_bitmap shrinks from 2K to 1K in size 2) we need 64K more for the valid address bitmap We can't let the valid address bitmap be dynamically allocated once we start using it to validate TLB misses, otherwise we have crazy issues to deal with wrt. recursive TLB misses and such. If we're in a TLB miss it could be the deepest trap level that's legal inside of the cpu. So if we TLB miss referencing the bitmap, the cpu will be out of trap levels and enter RED state. To guard against out-of-range accesses to the bitmap, we have to check to make sure no bits in the physical address above bit 40 are set. We could export and use last_valid_pfn for this check, but that's just an unnecessary extra memory reference. On the plus side of all this, since we load all of these translations into the special 4MB mapping TSB, and we check the TSB first for TLB misses, there should be absolutely no real cost for these new checks in the TLB miss path.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Normally, srmmu uses different trap table register values to allow determination of the cpu we're on. All of the trap tables have identical content, they just sit at different offsets from the first trap table, and the offset shifted down and masked out determines the cpu we are on. The code tries to free them up when they aren't actually used (don't have all 4 cpus, we're on sun4d, etc.) but that causes problems. For one thing it triggers false positives in the DMA debugging code. And fixing that up while preserving this relative offset thing isn't trivial. So just kill the freeing code, it costs us at most 3 pages, big deal... Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

This results in a deadlock in this scenario. cpu A holds clockevents_lock in clockevents_notify() with irqs enabled cpu B waits for clockevents_lock in clockevents_notify() with irqs disabled cpu C doing set_mtrr() which will try to rendezvous of all the cpus. This will result in C and A come to the rendezvous point and waiting for B. B is stuck forever waiting for the spinlock and thus not reaching the rendezvous point. Fix the clockevents code so that clockevents_lock is taken with interrupts disabled and thus avoid the above deadlock. Also call lapic_timer_propagate_broadcast() on the destination cpu so that we avoid calling smp_call_function() in the clockevents notifier chain. This issue left us wondering if we need to change the MTRR rendezvous logic to use stop machine logic (instead of smp_call_function) or add a check in spinlock debug code to see if there are other spinlocks which gets taken under both interrupts enabled/disabled conditions.

This is due to the boot trace entry variables being on the stack. Fixing this is relatively easy, initcalls are fundamentally serialized, so we can move the local variables to file scope. Note that this large stack footprint was present for a couple of months already - what pushed my system over the edge was the addition of kmemleak to the call-chain: 6) 3328 36 allocate_slab+0xb1/0x100 7) 3292 36 new_slab+0x1c/0x160 8) 3256 36 __slab_alloc+0x133/0x2b0 9) 3220 4 kmem_cache_alloc+0x1bb/0x1d0 10) 3216 108 create_object+0x28/0x250 11) 3108 40 kmemleak_alloc+0x81/0xc0 12) 3068 24 kmem_cache_alloc+0x162/0x1d0 13) 3044 52 scsi_pool_alloc_command+0x29/0x70 This pushes the total to ~3800 bytes, only a tiny bit more was needed to corrupt the on-kernel-stack thread_info. The fix reduces the stack footprint from 572 bytes to 28 bytes.

However, the current ordering of sections really just appears to be the effect of cumulative unrelated changes; re-ordering things allows to easily guarantee that the segment following the per-CPU one is non-empty, and at once eliminates the need for the bogus data.init2 segment. Once touching this code, also use the various data section helper macros from include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h. -v2: fix !SMP builds.

This, however created a new section conflict when building without HOTPLUG_CPU. The apparently only (reasonable) way to address this is to always use __REFDATA. Once at it, also fix a second section mismatch when not using HOTPLUG_CPU.

Fix is_new_memtype_allowed() by always succeeding the ISA address range checks, as the null PAT (WB) and def MTRR fixed range register settings satisfy the memory type needs of the applications that map the ISA address range.

Some people are going to hit this error now due to commit bbae8bcc49bc4d002221dab52c79a50a82e7cd1f if they configure a kernel to default to data=writeback mode. The problem happens if they have data=ordered set for the root filesystem in /etc/fstab but not in the kernel command line (and they don't use initrd). Their filesystem then gets mounted as data=writeback by kernel but then their boot fails because init scripts won't be able to remount the filesystem rw. Better error message will hopefully make it easier for them to find the error in their setup and bother us less with error reports :). Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>

Despite the fact that old description very strongly recomended disabling this feature, all of the major distributions have elected to preserve the existing 'legacy' default, which is a strong hint that it perhaps wasn't telling the whole story. This revised description has been vetted by a number of ext3 developers as being better at informing the user about the tradeoffs of enabling or disabling this configuration feature.

As a result, if you get just the right timing, the pending work may be just about to execute (ie the timer has already triggered and thus cancel_delayed_work() was a no-op), when we then re-initialize the ldisc from under it. That, in turn, results in various random problems, usually seen as a NULL pointer dereference in run_timer_softirq() or a BUG() in worker_thread (but it can be almost anything). Fix it by adding the required 'flush_scheduled_work()' after doing the tty_ldisc_halt() (this also requires us to move the ldisc halt to before taking the ldisc mutex in order to avoid a deadlock with the workqueue executing do_tty_hangup, which requires the mutex). The locking should be cleaned up one day (the requirement to do this outside the ldisc_mutex is very annoying, and weakens the lock), but that's a larger and separate undertaking.

By first checking nfs4_has_session() before clearing the NFS4CLNT_SESSION_SETUP flag, it allows for a situation where someone sets that flag, but it never gets cleared, and so the state manager loops. In fact commit c3fad1b1aaf850bf692642642ace7cd0d64af0a3 (nfs41: add session reset to state manager) causes this to happen every time we get a network partition error.
