2013-04-25perf: Treat attr.config as u64 in perf_swevent_init()Tommi Rantala
commit 8176cced706b5e5d15887584150764894e94e02f upstream. Trinity discovered that we fail to check all 64 bits of attr.config passed by user space, resulting to out-of-bounds access of the perf_swevent_enabled array in sw_perf_event_destroy(). Introduced in commit b0a873ebb ("perf: Register PMU implementations").

2013-04-25sched: Convert BUG_ON()s in try_to_wake_up_local() to WARN_ON_ONCE()sTejun Heo
commit 383efcd00053ec40023010ce5034bd702e7ab373 upstream. try_to_wake_up_local() should only be invoked to wake up another task in the same runqueue and BUG_ON()s are used to enforce the rule. Missing try_to_wake_up_local() can stall workqueue execution but such stalls are likely to be finite either by another work item being queued or the one blocked getting unblocked. There's no reason to trigger BUG while holding rq lock crashing the whole system. Convert BUG_ON()s in try_to_wake_up_local() to WARN_ON_ONCE()s.

2013-04-25hrtimer: Don't reinitialize a cpu_base lock on CPU_UPMichael Bohan
commit 84cc8fd2fe65866e49d70b38b3fdf7219dd92fe0 upstream. The current code makes the assumption that a cpu_base lock won't be held if the CPU corresponding to that cpu_base is offline, which isn't always true. If a hrtimer is not queued, then it will not be migrated by migrate_hrtimers() when a CPU is offlined. Therefore, the hrtimer's cpu_base may still point to a CPU which has subsequently gone offline if the timer wasn't enqueued at the time the CPU went down. Normally this wouldn't be a problem, but a cpu_base's lock is blindly reinitialized each time a CPU is brought up. If a CPU is brought online during the period that another thread is performing a hrtimer operation on a stale hrtimer, then the lock will be reinitialized under its feet, and a SPIN_BUG() like the following will be observed: <0>[ 28.082085] BUG: spinlock already unlocked on CPU#0, swapper/0/0 <0>[ 28.087078] lock: 0xc4780b40, value 0x0 .magic: dead4ead, .owner: <none>/-1, .owner_cpu: -1 <4>[ 42.451150] [<c0014398>] (unwind_backtrace+0x0/0x120) from [<c0269220>] (do_raw_spin_unlock+0x44/0xdc) <4>[ 42.460430] [<c0269220>] (do_raw_spin_unlock+0x44/0xdc) from [<c071b5bc>] (_raw_spin_unlock+0x8/0x30) <4>[ 42.469632] [<c071b5bc>] (_raw_spin_unlock+0x8/0x30) from [<c00a9ce0>] (__hrtimer_start_range_ns+0x1e4/0x4f8) <4>[ 42.479521] [<c00a9ce0>] (__hrtimer_start_range_ns+0x1e4/0x4f8) from [<c00aa014>] (hrtimer_start+0x20/0x28) <4>[ 42.489247] [<c00aa014>] (hrtimer_start+0x20/0x28) from [<c00e6190>] (rcu_idle_enter_common+0x1ac/0x320) <4>[ 42.498709] [<c00e6190>] (rcu_idle_enter_common+0x1ac/0x320) from [<c00e6440>] (rcu_idle_enter+0xa0/0xb8) <4>[ 42.508259] [<c00e6440>] (rcu_idle_enter+0xa0/0xb8) from [<c000f268>] (cpu_idle+0x24/0xf0) <4>[ 42.516503] [<c000f268>] (cpu_idle+0x24/0xf0) from [<c06ed3c0>] (rest_init+0x88/0xa0) <4>[ 42.524319] [<c06ed3c0>] (rest_init+0x88/0xa0) from [<c0c00978>] (start_kernel+0x3d0/0x434) As an example, this particular crash occurred when hrtimer_start() was executed on CPU #0. The code locked the hrtimer's current cpu_base corresponding to CPU #1. CPU #0 then tried to switch the hrtimer's cpu_base to an optimal CPU which was online. In this case, it selected the cpu_base corresponding to CPU #3. Before it could proceed, CPU #1 came online and reinitialized the spinlock corresponding to its cpu_base. Thus now CPU #0 held a lock which was reinitialized. When CPU #0 finally ended up unlocking the old cpu_base corresponding to CPU #1 so that it could switch to CPU #3, we hit this SPIN_BUG() above while in switch_hrtimer_base().

2013-04-16sched_clock: Prevent 64bit inatomicity on 32bit systemsThomas Gleixner
commit a1cbcaa9ea87b87a96b9fc465951dcf36e459ca2 upstream. The sched_clock_remote() implementation has the following inatomicity problem on 32bit systems when accessing the remote scd->clock, which is a 64bit value. CPU0 CPU1 sched_clock_local() sched_clock_remote(CPU0) ... remote_clock = scd[CPU0]->clock read_low32bit(scd[CPU0]->clock) cmpxchg64(scd->clock,...) read_high32bit(scd[CPU0]->clock) While the update of scd->clock is using an atomic64 mechanism, the readout on the remote cpu is not, which can cause completely bogus readouts. It is a quite rare problem, because it requires the update to hit the narrow race window between the low/high readout and the update must go across the 32bit boundary. The resulting misbehaviour is, that CPU1 will see the sched_clock on CPU1 ~4 seconds ahead of it's own and update CPU1s sched_clock value to this bogus timestamp. This stays that way due to the clamping implementation for about 4 seconds until the synchronization with CLOCK_MONOTONIC undoes the problem. The issue is hard to observe, because it might only result in a less accurate SCHED_OTHER timeslicing behaviour. To create observable damage on realtime scheduling classes, it is necessary that the bogus update of CPU1 sched_clock happens in the context of an realtime thread, which then gets charged 4 seconds of RT runtime, which results in the RT throttler mechanism to trigger and prevent scheduling of RT tasks for a little less than 4 seconds. So this is quite unlikely as well. The issue was quite hard to decode as the reproduction time is between 2 days and 3 weeks and intrusive tracing makes it less likely, but the following trace recorded with trace_clock=global, which uses sched_clock_local(), gave the final hint: <idle>-0 0d..30 400269.477150: hrtimer_cancel: hrtimer=0xf7061e80 <idle>-0 0d..30 400269.477151: hrtimer_start: hrtimer=0xf7061e80 ... irq/20-S-587 1d..32 400273.772118: sched_wakeup: comm= ... target_cpu=0 <idle>-0 0dN.30 400273.772118: hrtimer_cancel: hrtimer=0xf7061e80 What happens is that CPU0 goes idle and invokes sched_clock_idle_sleep_event() which invokes sched_clock_local() and CPU1 runs a remote wakeup for CPU0 at the same time, which invokes sched_remote_clock(). The time jump gets propagated to CPU0 via sched_remote_clock() and stays stale on both cores for ~4 seconds. There are only two other possibilities, which could cause a stale sched clock: 1) ktime_get() which reads out CLOCK_MONOTONIC returns a sporadic wrong value. 2) sched_clock() which reads the TSC returns a sporadic wrong value. #1 can be excluded because sched_clock would continue to increase for one jiffy and then go stale. #2 can be excluded because it would not make the clock jump forward. It would just result in a stale sched_clock for one jiffy. After quite some brain twisting and finding the same pattern on other traces, sched_clock_remote() remained the only place which could cause such a problem and as explained above it's indeed racy on 32bit systems. So while on 64bit systems the readout is atomic, we need to verify the remote readout on 32bit machines. We need to protect the local->clock readout in sched_clock_remote() on 32bit as well because an NMI could hit between the low and the high readout, call sched_clock_local() and modify local->clock. Thanks to Siegfried Wulsch for bearing with my debug requests and going through the tedious tasks of running a bunch of reproducer systems to generate the debug information which let me decode the issue.

2013-04-16PM / reboot: call syscore_shutdown() after disable_nonboot_cpus()Huacai Chen
commit 6f389a8f1dd22a24f3d9afc2812b30d639e94625 upstream. As commit 40dc166c (PM / Core: Introduce struct syscore_ops for core subsystems PM) say, syscore_ops operations should be carried with one CPU on-line and interrupts disabled. However, after commit f96972f2d (kernel/sys.c: call disable_nonboot_cpus() in kernel_restart()), syscore_shutdown() is called before disable_nonboot_cpus(), so break the rules. We have a MIPS machine with a 8259A PIC, and there is an external timer (HPET) linked at 8259A. Since 8259A has been shutdown too early (by syscore_shutdown()), disable_nonboot_cpus() runs without timer interrupt, so it hangs and reboot fails. This patch call syscore_shutdown() a little later (after disable_nonboot_cpus()) to avoid reboot failure, this is the same way as poweroff does. For consistency, add disable_nonboot_cpus() to kernel_halt(). Signed-off-by: Huacai Chen <chenhc@lemote.com> Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

2013-04-12panic: fix a possible deadlock in panic()Vikram Mulukutla
commit 190320c3b6640d4104650f55ff69611e050ea06b upstream. panic_lock is meant to ensure that panic processing takes place only on one cpu; if any of the other cpus encounter a panic, they will spin waiting to be shut down. However, this causes a regression in this scenario: 1. Cpu 0 encounters a panic and acquires the panic_lock and proceeds with the panic processing. 2. There is an interrupt on cpu 0 that also encounters an error condition and invokes panic. 3. This second invocation fails to acquire the panic_lock and enters the infinite while loop in panic_smp_self_stop. Thus all panic processing is stopped, and the cpu is stuck for eternity in the while(1) inside panic_smp_self_stop. To address this, disable local interrupts with local_irq_disable before acquiring the panic_lock. This will prevent interrupt handlers from executing during the panic processing, thus avoiding this particular problem.

2013-03-28nohz: Make tick_nohz_irq_exit() irq safeFrederic Weisbecker
commit e5ab012c3271990e8457055c25cafddc1ae8aa6b upstream. As it stands, irq_exit() may or may not be called with irqs disabled, depending on __ARCH_IRQ_EXIT_IRQS_DISABLED that the arch can define. It makes tick_nohz_irq_exit() unsafe. For example two interrupts can race in tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick(): the inner most one computes the expiring time on top of the timer list, then it's interrupted right before reprogramming the clock. The new interrupt enqueues a new timer list timer, it reprogram the clock to take it into account and it exits. The CPUs resumes the inner most interrupt and performs the clock reprogramming without considering the new timer list timer. This regression has been introduced by: 280f06774afedf849f0b34248ed6aff57d0f6908 ("nohz: Separate out irq exit and idle loop dyntick logic") Let's fix it right now with the appropriate protections. A saner long term solution will be to remove __ARCH_IRQ_EXIT_IRQS_DISABLED and mandate that irq_exit() is called with interrupts disabled.

Because function tracing is very invasive, and can even trace calls to rcu_read_lock(), RCU access in function tracing is done with preempt_disable_notrace(). This requires a synchronize_sched() for updates and not a synchronize_rcu().

commit 2721e72dd10f71a3ba90f59781becf02638aa0d9 upstream. Although the swap is wrapped with a spin_lock, the assignment of the temp buffer used to swap is not within that lock. It needs to be moved into that lock, otherwise two swaps happening on two different CPUs, can end up using the wrong temp buffer to assign in the swap. Luckily, all current callers of the swap function appear to have their own locks. But in case something is added that allows two different callers to call the swap, then there's a chance that this race can trigger and corrupt the buffers. New code is coming soon that will allow for this race to trigger. I've Cc'd stable, so this bug will not show up if someone backports one of the changes that can trigger this bug.

2013-03-20signal: always clear sa_restorer on execveKees Cook
commit 2ca39528c01a933f6689cd6505ce65bd6d68a530 upstream. When the new signal handlers are set up, the location of sa_restorer is not cleared, leaking a parent process's address space location to children. This allows for a potential bypass of the parent's ASLR by examining the sa_restorer value returned when calling sigaction(). Based on what should be considered "secret" about addresses, it only matters across the exec not the fork (since the VMAs haven't changed until the exec). But since exec sets SIG_DFL and keeps sa_restorer, this is where it should be fixed. Given the few uses of sa_restorer, a "set" function was not written since this would be the only use. Instead, we use __ARCH_HAS_SA_RESTORER, as already done in other places. Example of the leak before applying this patch: $ cat /proc/$$/maps ... 7fb9f3083000-7fb9f3238000 r-xp 00000000 fd:01 404469 .../libc-2.15.so ... $ ./leak ... 7f278bc74000-7f278be29000 r-xp 00000000 fd:01 404469 .../libc-2.15.so ... 1 0 (nil) 0x7fb9f30b94a0 2 4000000 (nil) 0x7f278bcaa4a0 3 4000000 (nil) 0x7f278bcaa4a0 4 0 (nil) 0x7fb9f30b94a0 ...

commit 63f43f55c9bbc14f76b582644019b8a07dc8219a upstream. rename() will change dentry->d_name. The result of this race can be worse than seeing partially rewritten name, but we might access a stale pointer because rename() will re-allocate memory to hold a longer name. It's safe in the protection of dentry->d_lock. v2: check NULL dentry before acquiring dentry lock.

2013-03-04ftrace: Call ftrace cleanup module notifier after all other notifiersSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
commit 8c189ea64eea01ca20d102ddb74d6936dd16c579 upstream. Commit: c1bf08ac "ftrace: Be first to run code modification on modules" changed ftrace module notifier's priority to INT_MAX in order to process the ftrace nops before anything else could touch them (namely kprobes). This was the correct thing to do. Unfortunately, the ftrace module notifier also contains the ftrace clean up code. As opposed to the set up code, this code should be run *after* all the module notifiers have run in case a module is doing correct clean-up and unregisters its ftrace hooks. Basically, ftrace needs to do clean up on module removal, as it needs to know about code being removed so that it doesn't try to modify that code. But after it removes the module from its records, if a ftrace user tries to remove a probe, that removal will fail due as the record of that code segment no longer exists. Nothing really bad happens if the probe removal is called after ftrace did the clean up, but the ftrace removal function will return an error. Correct code (such as kprobes) will produce a WARN_ON() if it fails to remove the probe. As people get annoyed by frivolous warnings, it's best to do the ftrace clean up after everything else. By splitting the ftrace_module_notifier into two notifiers, one that does the module load setup that is run at high priority, and the other that is called for module clean up that is run at low priority, the problem is solved.

2013-03-04posix-timer: Don't call idr_find() with out-of-range IDTejun Heo
commit e182bb38d7db7494fa5dcd82da17fe0dedf60ecf upstream. When idr_find() was fed a negative ID, it used to look up the ID ignoring the sign bit before recent ("idr: remove MAX_IDR_MASK and move left MAX_IDR_* into idr.c") patch. Now a negative ID triggers a WARN_ON_ONCE(). __lock_timer() feeds timer_id from userland directly to idr_find() without sanitizing it which can trigger the above malfunctions. Add a range check on @timer_id before invoking idr_find() in __lock_timer(). While timer_t is defined as int by all archs at the moment, Andrew worries that it may be defined as a larger type later on. Make the test cover larger integers too so that it at least is guaranteed to not return the wrong timer. Note that WARN_ON_ONCE() in idr_find() on id < 0 is transitional precaution while moving away from ignoring MSB. Once it's gone we can remove the guard as long as timer_t isn't larger than int.

commit b22affe0aef429d657bc6505aacb1c569340ddd2 upstream. hrtimer_enqueue_reprogram contains a race which could result in timer.base switch during unlock/lock sequence. hrtimer_enqueue_reprogram is releasing the lock protecting the timer base for calling raise_softirq_irqsoff() due to a lock ordering issue versus rq->lock. If during that time another CPU calls __hrtimer_start_range_ns() on the same hrtimer, the timer base might switch, before the current CPU can lock base->lock again and therefor the unlock_timer_base() call will unlock the wrong lock.

2013-02-21printk: fix buffer overflow when calling log_prefix function from ↵Alexandre SIMON
call_console_drivers This patch corrects a buffer overflow in kernels from 3.0 to 3.4 when calling log_prefix() function from call_console_drivers(). This bug existed in previous releases but has been revealed with commit 162a7e7500f9664636e649ba59defe541b7c2c60 (2.6.39 => 3.0) that made changes about how to allocate memory for early printk buffer (use of memblock_alloc). It disappears with commit 7ff9554bb578ba02166071d2d487b7fc7d860d62 (3.4 => 3.5) that does a refactoring of printk buffer management. In log_prefix(), the access to "p[0]", "p[1]", "p[2]" or "simple_strtoul(&p[1], &endp, 10)" may cause a buffer overflow as this function is called from call_console_drivers by passing "&LOG_BUF(cur_index)" where the index must be masked to do not exceed the buffer's boundary. The trick is to prepare in call_console_drivers() a buffer with the necessary data (PRI field of syslog message) to be safely evaluated in log_prefix(). This patch can be applied to stable kernel branches 3.0.y, 3.2.y and 3.4.y. Without this patch, one can freeze a server running this loop from shell : $ export DUMMY=`cat /dev/urandom | tr -dc '12345AZERTYUIOPQSDFGHJKLMWXCVBNazertyuiopqsdfghjklmwxcvbn' | head -c255` $ while true do ; echo $DUMMY > /dev/kmsg ; done The "server freeze" depends on where memblock_alloc does allocate printk buffer : if the buffer overflow is inside another kernel allocation the problem may not be revealed, else the server may hangs up.

Convert the recursive calls to an iterative loop to avoid the problem. Tested on a machine containing 135 regions. The kernel no longer panicked with stack overflow.

2013-02-11sched/rt: Use root_domain of rt_rq not current processorShawn Bohrer
commit aa7f67304d1a03180f463258aa6f15a8b434e77d upstream. When the system has multiple domains do_sched_rt_period_timer() can run on any CPU and may iterate over all rt_rq in cpu_online_mask. This means when balance_runtime() is run for a given rt_rq that rt_rq may be in a different rd than the current processor. Thus if we use smp_processor_id() to get rd in do_balance_runtime() we may borrow runtime from a rt_rq that is not part of our rd. This changes do_balance_runtime to get the rd from the passed in rt_rq ensuring that we borrow runtime only from the correct rd for the given rt_rq. This fixes a BUG at kernel/sched/rt.c:687! in __disable_runtime when we try reclaim runtime lent to other rt_rq but runtime has been lent to a rt_rq in another rd.

2013-01-27ptrace: ensure arch_ptrace/ptrace_request can never race with SIGKILLOleg Nesterov
commit 9899d11f654474d2d54ea52ceaa2a1f4db3abd68 upstream. putreg() assumes that the tracee is not running and pt_regs_access() can safely play with its stack. However a killed tracee can return from ptrace_stop() to the low-level asm code and do RESTORE_REST, this means that debugger can actually read/modify the kernel stack until the tracee does SAVE_REST again. set_task_blockstep() can race with SIGKILL too and in some sense this race is even worse, the very fact the tracee can be woken up breaks the logic. As Linus suggested we can clear TASK_WAKEKILL around the arch_ptrace() call, this ensures that nobody can ever wakeup the tracee while the debugger looks at it. Not only this fixes the mentioned problems, we can do some cleanups/simplifications in arch_ptrace() paths. Probably ptrace_unfreeze_traced() needs more callers, for example it makes sense to make the tracee killable for oom-killer before access_process_vm(). While at it, add the comment into may_ptrace_stop() to explain why ptrace_stop() still can't rely on SIGKILL and signal_pending_state().

But this happened before ftrace could have touched the code. As ftrace didn't run yet, the kprobe system had no idea it was a ftrace point and simply added a breakpoint to the code (0xcc in the cc:bb:d2:4b:e1). Then when ftrace went to modify the location from a call to mcount/fentry into a nop, it didn't see a call op, but instead it saw the breakpoint op and not knowing what to do with it, ftrace shut itself down. The solution is to simply give the ftrace module notifier the max priority. This should have been done regardless, as the core code ftrace modification also happens very early on in boot up. This makes the module modification closer to core modification.

commit 9366c1ba13fbc41bdb57702e75ca4382f209c82f upstream. The function rb_check_pages() was added to make sure the ring buffer's pages were sane. This check is done when the ring buffer size is modified as well as when the iterator is released (closing the "trace" file), as that was considered a non fast path and a good place to do a sanity check. The problem is that the check does not have any locks around it. If one process were to read the trace file, and another were to read the raw binary file, the check could happen while the reader is reading the file. The issues with this is that the check requires to clear the HEAD page before doing the full check and it restores it afterward. But readers require the HEAD page to exist before it can read the buffer, otherwise it gives a nasty warning and disables the buffer. By adding the reader lock around the check, this keeps the race from happening. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

On failure, it puts but there isn't no matching get anywhere leading to the following oops if cgroup_create_file() fails for whatever reason. ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at /work/os/work/fs/dcache.c:552! invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP DEBUG_PAGEALLOC Modules linked in: CPU 2 Pid: 697, comm: mkdir Not tainted 3.7.0-rc4-work+ #3 Bochs Bochs RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff811d9c0c>] [<ffffffff811d9c0c>] dput+0x1dc/0x1e0 RSP: 0018:ffff88001a3ebef8 EFLAGS: 00010246 RAX: 0000000000000000 RBX: ffff88000e5b1ef8 RCX: 0000000000000403 RDX: 0000000000000303 RSI: 2000000000000000 RDI: ffff88000e5b1f58 RBP: ffff88001a3ebf18 R08: ffffffff82c76960 R09: 0000000000000001 R10: ffff880015022080 R11: ffd9bed70f48a041 R12: 00000000ffffffea R13: 0000000000000001 R14: ffff88000e5b1f58 R15: 00007fff57656d60 FS: 00007ff05fcb3800(0000) GS:ffff88001fd00000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: 00000000004046f0 CR3: 000000001315f000 CR4: 00000000000006e0 DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000ffff0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 Process mkdir (pid: 697, threadinfo ffff88001a3ea000, task ffff880015022080) Stack: ffff88001a3ebf48 00000000ffffffea 0000000000000001 0000000000000000 ffff88001a3ebf38 ffffffff811cc889 0000000000000001 ffff88000e5b1ef8 ffff88001a3ebf68 ffffffff811d1fc9 ffff8800198d7f18 ffff880019106ef8 Call Trace: [<ffffffff811cc889>] done_path_create+0x19/0x50 [<ffffffff811d1fc9>] sys_mkdirat+0x59/0x80 [<ffffffff811d2009>] sys_mkdir+0x19/0x20 [<ffffffff81be1e02>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b Code: 00 48 8d 90 18 01 00 00 48 89 93 c0 00 00 00 4c 89 a0 18 01 00 00 48 8b 83 a0 00 00 00 83 80 28 01 00 00 01 e8 e6 6f a0 00 eb 92 <0f> 0b 66 90 0f 1f 44 00 00 55 48 89 e5 41 57 41 56 49 89 fe 41 RIP [<ffffffff811d9c0c>] dput+0x1dc/0x1e0 RSP <ffff88001a3ebef8> ---[ end trace 1277bcfd9561ddb0 ]--- Fix it by dropping the unnecessary dget/dput() pair.

2013-01-11genirq: Always force thread affinityThomas Gleixner
commit 04aa530ec04f61875b99c12721162e2964e3318c upstream. Sankara reported that the genirq core code fails to adjust the affinity of an interrupt thread in several cases: 1) On request/setup_irq() the call to setup_affinity() happens before the new action is registered, so the new thread is not notified. 2) For secondary shared interrupts nothing notifies the new thread to change its affinity. 3) Interrupts which have the IRQ_NO_BALANCE flag set are not moving the thread either. Fix this by setting the thread affinity flag right on thread creation time. This ensures that under all circumstances the thread moves to the right place. Requires a check in irq_thread_check_affinity for an existing affinity mask (CONFIG_CPU_MASK_OFFSTACK=y) Reported-and-tested-by: Sankara Muthukrishnan <sankara.m@gmail.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/alpine.LFD.2.02.1209041738200.2754@ionos Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
2012-12-17rcu: Fix batch-limit size problemEric Dumazet
commit 878d7439d0f45a95869e417576774673d1fa243f upstream. Commit 29c00b4a1d9e27 (rcu: Add event-tracing for RCU callback invocation) added a regression in rcu_do_batch() Under stress, RCU is supposed to allow to process all items in queue, instead of a batch of 10 items (blimit), but an integer overflow makes the effective limit being 1. So, unless there is frequent idle periods (during which RCU ignores batch limits), RCU can be forced into a state where it cannot keep up with the callback-generation rate, eventually resulting in OOM. This commit therefore converts a few variables in rcu_do_batch() from int to long to fix this problem, along with the module parameters controlling the batch limits.

commit 70f77b3f7ec010ff9624c1f2e39a81babc9e2429 upstream. There is a typo here where '&' is used instead of '|' and it turns the statement into a noop. The original code is equivalent to: iter->flags &= ~((1 << 2) & (1 << 4)); Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20120609161027.GD6488@elgon.mountain Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
