threadgroup_lock() takes signal->cred_guard_mutex to ensure that
thread_group_leader() is stable. This doesn't look nice, the scope of
this lock in do_execve() is huge.
And as Dave pointed out this can lead to deadlock, we have the
following dependencies:
do_execve: cred_guard_mutex -> i_mutex
cgroup_mount: i_mutex -> cgroup_mutex
attach_task_by_pid: cgroup_mutex -> cred_guard_mutex
Change de_thread() to take threadgroup_change_begin() around the
switch-the-leader code and change threadgroup_lock() to avoid
->cred_guard_mutex.
Note that de_thread() can't sleep with ->group_rwsem held, this can
obviously deadlock with the exiting leader if the writer is active, so it
does threadgroup_change_end() before schedule().

set_task_comm() does memset() + wmb() before strlcpy(). This buys
nothing and to add to the confusion, the comment is wrong.
- We do not need memset() to be "safe from non-terminating string
reads", the final char is always zero and we never change it.
- wmb() is paired with nothing, it cannot prevent from printing
the mixture of the old/new data unless the reader takes the lock.

Currently, a write to a procfs file will return the number of bytes
successfully written. If the actual string is longer than this, the
remainder of the string will not be be written and userspace will
complete the operation by issuing additional write()s.
Hence
$ echo -n "abcdefghijklmnopqrs" > /proc/self/comm
results in
$ cat /proc/$$/comm
pqrs
since the final four bytes were written with a second write() since
TASK_COMM_LEN == 16. This is obviously an undesired result and not
equivalent to prctl(PR_SET_NAME). The implementation should not need to
know the definition of TASK_COMM_LEN.
This patch truncates the string to the first TASK_COMM_LEN bytes and
returns the bytes written as the length of the string written so the
second write() is suppressed.

wait_for_dump_helpers() calls wake_up/kill_fasync from inside the
wait_event-like loop. This is not needed and in fact this is not
strictly correct, we can/should do this only once after we change
pipe->writers. We could even check if it becomes zero.
Change this code to use use wait_event_interruptible(), this can also
help to make this wait freezable.
With this patch we check pipe->readers without pipe_lock(), this is
fine. Once we see pipe->readers == 1 we know that the handler
decremented the counter, this is all we need.

By discussion with Mandeep.
Change dump_write(), dump_seek() and do_coredump() to check
signal_pending() and abort if it is true. dump_seek() does this only
before f_op->llseek(), otherwise it relies on dump_write().
We need this change to ensure that the coredump won't delay suspend, and
to ensure it reacts to SIGKILL "quickly enough", a core dump can take a
lot of time. In particular this can help oom-killer.
We add the new trivial helper, dump_interrupted() to add the comments and
to simplify the potential freezer changes. Perhaps it will have more
callers.
Ideally it should do try_to_freeze() but then we need the unpleasant
changes in dump_write() and wait_for_dump_helpers(). It is not trivial to
change dump_write() to restart if f_op->write() fails because of
freezing(). We need to handle the short writes, we need to clear
TIF_SIGPENDING (and we can't rely on recalc_sigpending() unless we change
it to check PF_DUMPCORE). And if the buggy f_op->write() sets
TIF_SIGPENDING we can not distinguish this case from the race with
freeze_task() + __thaw_task().
So we simply accept the fact that the freezer can truncate a core-dump but
at least you can reliably suspend. Hopefully we can tolerate this
unlikely case and the necessary complications doesn't worth a trouble.
But if we decide to make the coredumping freezable later we can do this on
top of this change.

Now that the coredumping process can be SIGKILL'ed, the setting of
->group_exit_code in do_coredump() can race with complete_signal() and
SIGKILL or 0x80 can be "lost", or wait(status) can report status ==
SIGKILL | 0x80.
But the main problem is that it is not clear to me what should we do if
binfmt->core_dump() succeeds but SIGKILL was sent, that is why this patch
comes as a separate change.
This patch adds 0x80 if ->core_dump() succeeds and the process was not
killed. But perhaps we can (should?) re-set ->group_exit_code changed by
SIGKILL back to "siginfo->si_signo |= 0x80" in case when core_dumped == T.

prepare_signal() blesses SIGKILL sent to the dumping process but this
signal can be "lost" anyway. The problems is, complete_signal() sees
SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT and skips the "kill them all" logic. And even if the
dumping process is single-threaded (so the target is always "correct"),
the group-wide SIGKILL is not recorded in task->pending and thus
__fatal_signal_pending() won't be true. A multi-threaded case has even
more problems.
And even ignoring all technical details, SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT doesn't look
right to me. This coredumping process is not exiting yet, it can do a lot
of work dumping the core.
With this patch the dumping process doesn't have SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT, we set
signal->group_exit_task instead. This makes signal_group_exit() true and
thus this should equally close the races with exit/exec/stop but allows to
kill the dumping thread reliably.
Notes:
- It is not clear what should we do with ->group_exit_code
if the dumper was killed, see the next change.
- we need more (hopefully straightforward) changes to ensure
that SIGKILL actually interrupts the coredump. Basically we
need to check __fatal_signal_pending() in dump_write() and
dump_seek().

There are 2 well known and ancient problems with coredump/signals, and a
lot of related bug reports:
- do_coredump() clears TIF_SIGPENDING but of course this can't help
if, say, SIGCHLD comes after that.
In this case the coredump can fail unexpectedly. See for example
wait_for_dump_helper()->signal_pending() check but there are other
reasons.
- At the same time, dumping a huge core on the slow media can take a
lot of time/resources and there is no way to kill the coredumping
task reliably. In particular this is not oom_kill-friendly.
This patch tries to fix the 1st problem, and makes the preparation for the
next changes.
We add the new SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMP flag set by zap_threads() to indicate
that this process dumps the core. prepare_signal() checks this flag and
nacks any signal except SIGKILL.
Note that this check tries to be conservative, in the long term we should
probably treat the SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT case equally but this needs more
discussion. See marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=120508897917439
Notes:
- recalc_sigpending() doesn't check SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMP.
The patch assumes that dump_write/etc paths should never
call it, but we can change it as well.
- There is another source of TIF_SIGPENDING, freezer. This
will be addressed separately.

These are the only users of call_usermodehelper_fns(). This function
suffers from not being able to determine if the cleanup is called. Even
if in this places the cleanup pointer is NULL, convert them to use the
separate call_usermodehelper_setup() + call_usermodehelper_exec()
functions so we can remove the _fns variant.

of driver's internal error or metadata corruption
The NILFS2 driver remounts itself in RO mode in the case of discovering
metadata corruption (for example, discovering a broken bmap). But
usually, this takes place when there have been file system operations
before remounting in RO mode.
Thereby, NILFS2 driver can be in RO mode with presence of dirty pages in
modified inodes' address spaces. It results in flush kernel thread's
infinite trying to flush dirty pages in RO mode. As a result, it is
possible to see such side effects as: (1) flush kernel thread occupies
50% - 99% of CPU time; (2) system can't be shutdowned without manual
power switch off.
SYMPTOMS:
(1) System log contains error message: "Remounting filesystem read-only".
(2) The flush kernel thread occupies 50% - 99% of CPU time.
(3) The system can't be shutdowned without manual power switch off.
REPRODUCTION PATH:
(1) Create volume group with name "unencrypted" by means of vgcreate utility.
(2) Run script (prepared by Anthony Doggett <Anthony2486@interfaces.org.uk>):
----------------[BEGIN SCRIPT]--------------------
#!/bin/bash
VG=unencrypted
#apt-get install nilfs-tools darcs
lvcreate --size 2G --name ntest $VG

date
darcs init
sleep 2
dmesg|tail -n 5
date
darcs whatsnew || true
date
sleep 2
dmesg|tail -n 5
----------------[END SCRIPT]--------------------
(3) Try to shutdown the system.
REPRODUCIBILITY: 100%
FIX:
This patch implements checking mount state of NILFS2 driver in
nilfs_writepage(), nilfs_writepages() and nilfs_mdt_write_page()
methods. If it is detected the RO mount state then all dirty pages are
simply discarded with warning messages is written in system log.

It is common for epoll users to have thousands of epitems, so saving a
cache line on every allocation leads to large memory savings.
Since epitem allocations are cache-aligned, reducing sizeof(struct
epitem) from 136 bytes to 128 bytes will allow it to squeeze under a
cache line boundary on x86_64.
Via /sys/kernel/slab/eventpoll_epi, I see the following changes on my
x86_64 Core2 Duo (which has 64-byte cache alignment):
object_size : 192 => 128
objs_per_slab: 21 => 32
Also, add a BUILD_BUG_ON() to check for future accidental breakage.

Writeback has been recently converted to use workqueue instead of its
private thread pool implementation. One negative side effect of this
conversion is that there's no easy to tell which backing device a
writeback work item was working on at the time of task dump, be it
sysrq-t, BUG, WARN or whatever, which, according to our writeback
brethren, is important in tracking down issues with a lot of mounted
file systems on a lot of different devices.
This patch restores that information using the new worker description
facility. bdi_writeback_workfn() calls set_work_desc() to identify
which bdi it's working on. The description is printed out together with
the worqueue name and worker function as in the following example dump.

Call cond_resched() in shrink_dcache_parent() to maintain interactivity.
Before this patch:
void shrink_dcache_parent(struct dentry * parent)
{
while ((found = select_parent(parent, &dispose)) != 0)
shrink_dentry_list(&dispose);
}
select_parent() populates the dispose list with dentries which
shrink_dentry_list() then deletes. select_parent() carefully uses
need_resched() to avoid doing too much work at once. But neither
shrink_dcache_parent() nor its called functions call cond_resched(). So
once need_resched() is set select_parent() will return single dentry
dispose list which is then deleted by shrink_dentry_list(). This is
inefficient when there are a lot of dentry to process. This can cause
softlockup and hurts interactivity on non preemptable kernels.
This change adds cond_resched() in shrink_dcache_parent(). The benefit
of this is that need_resched() is quickly cleared so that future calls
to select_parent() are able to efficiently return a big batch of dentry.
These additional cond_resched() do not seem to impact performance, at
least for the workload below.
Here is a program which can cause soft lockup if other system activity
sets need_resched().
int main()
{
struct rlimit rlim;
int i;
int f[100000];
char buf[20];
struct timeval t1, t2;
double diff;
/* cleanup past run */
system("rm -rf x");
/* boost nfile rlimit */
rlim.rlim_cur = 200000;
rlim.rlim_max = 200000;
if (setrlimit(RLIMIT_NOFILE, &rlim))
err(1, "setrlimit");

When we run the crackerjack testsuite, the inotify_add_watch test is
stalled.
This is caused by the invalid mask 0 - the task is waiting for the event
but it never comes. inotify_add_watch() should return -EINVAL as it did
before commit 676a0675cf92 ("inotify: remove broken mask checks causing
unmount to be EINVAL"). That commit removes the invalid mask check, but
that check is needed.
Check the mask's ALL_INOTIFY_BITS before the inotify_arg_to_mask() call.
If none are set, just return -EINVAL.
Because IN_UNMOUNT is in ALL_INOTIFY_BITS, this change will not trigger
the problem that above commit fixed.

"The main changes in this cycle's merge are:
- Implement shadow timekeeper to shorten in kernel reader side
blocking, by Thomas Gleixner.
- Posix timers enhancements by Pavel Emelyanov:
- allocate timer ID per process, so that exact timer ID allocations
can be re-created be checkpoint/restore code.
- debuggability and tooling (/proc/PID/timers, etc.) improvements.
- suspend/resume enhancements by Feng Tang: on certain new Intel Atom
processors (Penwell and Cloverview), there is a feature that the
TSC won't stop in S3 state, so the TSC value won't be reset to 0
after resume. This can be taken advantage of by the generic via
the CLOCK_SOURCE_SUSPEND_NONSTOP flag: instead of using the RTC to
recover/approximate sleep time, the main (and precise) clocksource
can be used.
- Fix /proc/timer_list for 4096 CPUs by Nathan Zimmer: on so many
CPUs the file goes beyond 4MB of size and thus the current
simplistic seqfile approach fails. Convert /proc/timer_list to a
proper seq_file with its own iterator.
- Cleanups and refactorings of the core timekeeping code by John
Stultz.
- International Atomic Clock time is managed by the NTP code
internally currently but not exposed externally. Separate the TAI
code out and add CLOCK_TAI support and TAI support to the hrtimer
and posix-timer code, by John Stultz.
- Add deep idle support enhacement to the broadcast clockevents core
timer code, by Daniel Lezcano: add an opt-in CLOCK_EVT_FEAT_DYNIRQ
clockevents feature (which will be utilized by future clockevents
driver updates), which allows the use of IRQ affinities to avoid
spurious wakeups of idle CPUs - the right CPU with an expiring
timer will be woken.
- Add new ARM bcm281xx clocksource driver, by Christian Daudt

This patch enables rebuilding of directory inodes which are not present in
the cache.This is done by traversing the disk clusters to find the
directory entry of the parent directory and using its i_pos to build the
inode.
The traversal is done by fat_scan_logstart() which is similar to
fat_scan() but matches i_pos values instead of names.fat_scan_logstart()
needs an inode parameter to work, for which a dummy inode is created by
it's caller fat_rebuild_parent(). This dummy inode is destroyed after the
traversal completes.
All this is done only if the nostale_ro nfs mount option is specified.

This patchset eliminates the client side ESTALE errors when a FAT
partition exported over NFS has its dentries evicted from the cache. The
idea is to find the on-disk location_'i_pos' of the dirent of the inode
that has been evicted and use it to rebuild the inode.
This patch:
Provide two possible values 'stale_rw' and 'nostale_ro' for the -o nfs
mount option.The first one allows all file operations but does not reduce
ESTALE errors on memory constrained systems. The second one eliminates
ESTALE errors but mounts the filesystem as read-only. Not specifying a
value defaults to 'stale_rw'.
