Now, this uses SLUB pretty much unmodified, but as it is the -rt kernel
with CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT set, spinlocks are mutexes, although they do
disable migration. But the SLUB code is relatively lockless, and the
spin_locks there are raw_spin_locks (not converted to mutexes), thus I
believe this bug can happen in mainline without -rt features. The -rt
patch is just good at triggering mainline bugs ;-)

Anyway, looking at where this crashed, it seems that the page variable
can be NULL when passed to the node_match() function (which does not
check if it is NULL). When this happens we get the above panic.

As page is only used in slab_alloc() to check if the node matches, if
it's NULL I'm assuming that we can say it doesn't and call the
__slab_alloc() code. Is this a correct assumption?

10 years agoslob: Check for NULL pointer before calling ctor()

slob: Check for NULL pointer before calling ctor()

While doing some code inspection, I noticed that the slob constructor
method can be called with a NULL pointer. If memory is tight and slob
fails to allocate with slob_alloc() or slob_new_pages() it still calls
the ctor() method with a NULL pointer. Looking at the first ctor()
method I found, I noticed that it can not handle a NULL pointer (I'm
sure others probably can't either):

static void sighand_ctor(void *data)
{
        struct sighand_struct *sighand = data;

        spin_lock_init(&sighand->siglock);
        init_waitqueue_head(&sighand->signalfd_wqh);
}

The solution is to only call the ctor() method if allocation succeeded.

At the moment, kmalloc() isn't even listed in the kernel API

Another issue is that the documentation for kmalloc_node()

while kcalloc() refered to kmalloc()'s documentation, which doesn't exist!

for kmalloc() in include/linux/slob_def.h which isn't included to
generate the documentation anyway. This way, kmalloc() is described
in only one place.

11 years agoslub: correctly bootstrap boot caches
Glauber Costa [Fri, 22 Feb 2013 16:20:00 +0000 (20:20 +0400)]
slub: correctly bootstrap boot caches

After we create a boot cache, we may allocate from it until it is bootstraped.
This will move the page from the partial list to the cpu slab list. If this
happens, the loop:

list_for_each_entry(p, &n->partial, lru)

that we use to scan for all partial pages will yield nothing, and the pages
will keep pointing to the boot cpu cache, which is of course, invalid. To do
that, we should flush the cache to make sure that the cpu slab is back to the
partial list.

11 years agodm thin: fix race between simultaneous io and discards to same block

dm thin: fix race between simultaneous io and discards to same block

There is a race when discard bios and non-discard bios are issued
simultaneously to the same block.

Discard support is expensive for all thin devices precisely because you
have to be careful to quiesce the area you're discarding.  DM thin must
handle this conflicting IO pattern (simultaneous non-discard vs discard)
even though a sane application shouldn't be issuing such IO.

The race manifests as follows:

1. A non-discard bio is mapped in thin_bio_map.
   This doesn't lock out parallel activity to the same block.

2. A discard bio is issued to the same block as the non-discard bio.

3. The discard bio is locked in a dm_bio_prison_cell in process_discard
   to lock out parallel activity against the same block.

4. The non-discard bio's mapping continues and its all_io_entry is
   incremented so the bio is accounted for in the thin pool's all_io_ds
   which is a dm_deferred_set used to track time locality of non-discard IO.

5. The non-discard bio is finally locked in a dm_bio_prison_cell in
   process_bio.

The race can result in deadlock, leaving the block layer hanging waiting
for completion of a discard bio that never completes, e.g.:

INFO: task ruby:15354 blocked for more than 120 seconds.

The thinp-test-suite's test_discard_random_sectors reliably hits this
deadlock on fast SSD storage.

The fix for this race is that the all_io_entry for a bio must be
incremented whilst the dm_bio_prison_cell is held for the bio's
associated virtual and physical blocks.  That cell locking wasn't
occurring early enough in thin_bio_map.  This patch fixes this.

Care is taken to always call the new function inc_all_io_entry() with
the relevant cells locked, but they are generally unlocked before
calling issue() to try to avoid holding the cells locked across
generic_submit_request.

Also, now that thin_bio_map may lock bios in a cell, process_bio() is no
longer the only thread that will do so.  Because of this we must be sure

11 years agodm thin: replace dm_cell_release_singleton with cell_defer_except

dm thin: replace dm_cell_release_singleton with cell_defer_except

Change existing users of the function dm_cell_release_singleton to share
cell_defer_except instead, and then remove the now-unused function.

Everywhere that calls dm_cell_release_singleton, the bio in question
is the holder of the cell.

If there are no non-holder entries in the cell then cell_defer_except
behaves exactly like dm_cell_release_singleton.  Conversely, if there
*are* non-holder entries then dm_cell_release_singleton must not be used
because those entries would need to be deferred.

Consequently, it is safe to replace use of dm_cell_release_singleton
with cell_defer_except.

This patch is a pre-requisite for "dm thin: fix race between
simultaneous io and discards to same block".

dm ioctl: prevent unsafe change to dm_ioctl data_size

Abort dm ioctl processing if userspace changes the data_size parameter
after we validated it but before we finished copying the data buffer
from userspace.

The dm ioctl parameters are processed in the following sequence:
 1. ctl_ioctl() calls copy_params();
 2. copy_params() makes a first copy of the fixed-sized portion of the
    userspace parameters into the local variable "tmp";
 3. copy_params() then validates tmp.data_size and allocates a new
    structure big enough to hold the complete data and copies the whole
    userspace buffer there;
 4. ctl_ioctl() reads userspace data the second time and copies the whole
    buffer into the pointer "param";
 5. ctl_ioctl() reads param->data_size without any validation and stores it
    in the variable "input_param_size";
 6. "input_param_size" is further used as the authoritative size of the
    kernel buffer.

The problem is that userspace code could change the contents of user
memory between steps 2 and 4.  In particular, the data_size parameter
can be changed to an invalid value after the kernel has validated it.
This lets userspace force the kernel to access invalid kernel memory.

The fix is to ensure that the size has not changed at step 4.

This patch shouldn't have a security impact because CAP_SYS_ADMIN is
required to run this code, but it should be fixed anyway.

We found a user code which was raising a divide-by-zero trap.  That trap
would lead to XPC connections between system-partitions being torn down
due to the die_chain notifier callouts it received.

This also revealed a different issue where multiple callers into
xpc_die_deactivate() would all attempt to do the disconnect in parallel
which would sometimes lock up but often overwhelm the console on very
large machines as each would print at least one line of output at the
end of the deactivate.

I reviewed all the users of the die_chain notifier and changed the code
to ignore the notifier callouts for reasons which will not actually lead
to a system to continue on to call die().

11 years agoproc: fix inconsistent lock state

proc: fix inconsistent lock state

Lockdep found an inconsistent lock state when rcu is processing delayed
work in softirq.  Currently, kernel is using spin_lock/spin_unlock to
protect proc_inum_ida, but proc_free_inum is called by rcu in softirq
context.

Use spin_lock_bh/spin_unlock_bh fix following lockdep warning.
