In particular it assumes that the wait queue\ncan\u0027t go away until eventpoll_release(). This is not true in case\nof signalfd, the task which does EPOLL_CTL_ADD uses its -\u003esighand\nwhich is not connected to the file.\n\nThis patch adds the special event, POLLFREE, currently only for\nepoll. It expects that init_poll_funcptr()\u0027ed hook should do the\nnecessary cleanup. Perhaps it should be defined as EPOLLFREE in\neventpoll.\n\n__cleanup_sighand() is changed to do wake_up_poll(POLLFREE) if\n-\u003esignalfd_wqh is not empty, we add the new signalfd_cleanup()\nhelper.\n\nep_poll_callback(POLLFREE) simply does list_del_init(task_list).\nThis make this poll entry inconsistent, but we don\u0027t care. If you\nshare epoll fd which contains our sigfd with another process you\nshould blame yourself. signalfd is \"really special\". I simply do\nnot know how we can define the \"right\" semantics if it used with\nepoll.\n\nThe main problem is, epoll calls signalfd_poll() once to establish\nthe connection with the wait queue, after that signalfd_poll(NULL)\nreturns the different/inconsistent results depending on who does\nEPOLL_CTL_MOD/signalfd_read/etc. IOW: apart from sigmask, signalfd\nhas nothing to do with the file, it works with the current thread.\n\nIn short: this patch is the hack which tries to fix the symptoms.\nIt also assumes that nobody can take tasklist_lock under epoll\nlocks, this seems to be true.\n\nNote:\n\n\t- we do not have wake_up_all_poll() but wake_up_poll()\n\t is fine, poll/epoll doesn\u0027t use WQ_FLAG_EXCLUSIVE.\n\n\t- signalfd_cleanup() uses POLLHUP along with POLLFREE,\n\t we need a couple of simple changes in eventpoll.c to\n\t make sure it can\u0027t be \"lost\".\n\nReported-by: Maxime Bizon \u003cmbizon@freebox.fr\u003e\nCc: \u003cstable@kernel.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Oleg Nesterov \u003coleg@redhat.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@linux-foundation.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "3ec1e88b33a3bdd852ce8e014052acec7a9da8b5", "tree": "4270f8f0de4e28f090cba6d6e4047aae939d6463", "parents": [ "8df54d622a120058ee8bec38743c9b8f091c8e58", "d8c66c5d59247e25a69428aced0b79d33b9c66d6" ], "author": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@linux-foundation.org", "time": "Sat Feb 11 10:07:11 2012 -0800" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@linux-foundation.org", "time": "Sat Feb 11 10:07:11 2012 -0800" }, "message": "Merge branch \u0027for-linus\u0027 of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block\n\nSays Jens:\n\n \"Time to push off some of the pending items.

This patch makes cic removal from both ioc and request_queue\nperform double-locking and unlink immediately.\n\n* From q side, the change is almost trivial as ioc-\u003elock nests inside\n queue_lock. It just needs to grab each ioc-\u003elock as it walks\n cic_list and unlink it.\n\n* From ioc side, it\u0027s a bit more difficult because of inversed lock\n order. ioc needs its lock to walk its cic_list but can\u0027t grab the\n matching queue_lock and needs to perform unlock-relock dancing.\n\n Unlinking is now wholly done from put_io_context() and fast path is\n optimized by using the queue_lock the caller already holds, which is\n by far the most common case. If the ioc accessed multiple devices,\n it tries with trylock. In unlikely cases of fast path failure, it\n falls back to full double-locking dance from workqueue.\n\nDouble-locking isn\u0027t the prettiest thing in the world but it\u0027s *far*\nsimpler and more understandable than RCU trick without adding any\nmeaningful overhead.\n\nThis still leaves a lot of now unnecessary RCU logics.

The former is\nalways called from local task while the latter can be called from\ndifferent task. The synchornization between them are peculiar and\ndubious.\n\n* current_io_context() doesn\u0027t grab task_lock() and assumes that if it\n saw %NULL -\u003eio_context, it would stay that way until allocation and\n assignment is complete. It has smp_wmb() between alloc/init and\n assignment.\n\n* set_task_ioprio() grabs task_lock() for assignment and does\n smp_read_barrier_depends() between \"ioc \u003d task-\u003eio_context\" and \"if\n (ioc)\". Unfortunately, this doesn\u0027t achieve anything - the latter\n is not a dependent load of the former. ie, if ioc itself were being\n dereferenced \"ioc-\u003exxx\", it would mean something (not sure what tho)\n but as the code currently stands, the dependent read barrier is\n noop.\n\nAs only one of the the two test-assignment sequences is task_lock()\nprotected, the task_lock() can\u0027t do much about race between the two.\nNothing prevents current_io_context() and set_task_ioprio() allocating\nits own ioc for the same task and overwriting the other\u0027s.\n\nAlso, set_task_ioprio() can race with exiting task and create a new\nioc after exit_io_context() is finished.\n\nioc get/put doesn\u0027t have any reason to be complex. The only hot path\nis accessing the existing ioc of %current, which is simple to achieve\ngiven that -\u003eio_context is never destroyed as long as the task is\nalive. All other paths can happily go through task_lock() like all\nother task sub structures without impacting anything.\n\nThis patch updates ioc get/put so that it becomes more conventional.\n\n* alloc_io_context() is replaced with get_task_io_context(). This is\n the only interface which can acquire access to ioc of another task.\n On return, the caller has an explicit reference to the object which\n should be put using put_io_context() afterwards.\n\n* The functionality of current_io_context() remains the same but when\n creating a new ioc, it shares the code path with\n get_task_io_context() and always goes through task_lock().\n\n* get_io_context() now means incrementing ref on an ioc which the\n caller already has access to (be that an explicit refcnt or implicit\n %current one).\n\n* PF_EXITING inhibits creation of new io_context and once\n exit_io_context() is finished, it\u0027s guaranteed that both ioc\n acquisition functions return %NULL.\n\n* All users are updated. Most are trivial but\n smp_read_barrier_depends() removal from cfq_get_io_context() needs a\n bit of explanation. I suppose the original intention was to ensure\n ioc-\u003eioprio is visible when set_task_ioprio() allocates new\n io_context and installs it; however, this wouldn\u0027t have worked\n because set_task_ioprio() doesn\u0027t have wmb between init and install.\n There are other problems with this which will be fixed in another\n patch.\n\n* While at it, use NUMA_NO_NODE instead of -1 for wildcard node\n specification.\n\n-v2: Vivek spotted contamination from debug patch.

A much simpler way is to test actual freeze conditions from\nfreezing() - ie. directly test whether PM or cgroup freezing is in\neffect.\n\nThis patch adds variables to indicate whether and what type of\nfreezing conditions are in effect and reimplements freezing() such\nthat it directly tests whether any of the two freezing conditions is\nactive and the task should freeze. On fast path, freezing() is still\nvery cheap - it only tests system_freezing_cnt.\n\nThis makes the clumsy dancing aroung TIF_FREEZE unnecessary and\nfreeze/thaw operations more usual - updating state variables for the\nnew state and nudging target tasks so that they notice the new state\nand comply.

But the check created new security threat: many poorly\nwritten programs simply don\u0027t check setuid() return code and believe it\ncannot fail if executed with root privileges. So, the check is removed\nin this patch because of too often privilege escalations related to\nbuggy programs.\n\nThe NPROC can still be enforced in the common code flow of daemons\nspawning user processes. Most of daemons do fork()+setuid()+execve().\nThe check introduced in execve() (1) enforces the same limit as in\nsetuid() and (2) doesn\u0027t create similar security issues.\n\nNeil Brown suggested to track what specific process has exceeded the\nlimit by setting PF_NPROC_EXCEEDED process flag. With the change only\nthis process would fail on execve(), and other processes\u0027 execve()\nbehaviour is not changed.\n\nSolar Designer suggested to re-check whether NPROC limit is still\nexceeded at the moment of execve(). If the process was sleeping for\ndays between set*uid() and execve(), and the NPROC counter step down\nunder the limit, the defered execve() failure because NPROC limit was\nexceeded days ago would be unexpected. If the limit is not exceeded\nanymore, we clear the flag on successful calls to execve() and fork().\n\nThe flag is also cleared on successful calls to set_user() as the limit\nwas exceeded for the previous user, not the current one.\n\nSimilar check was introduced in -ow patches (without the process flag).\n\nv3 - clear PF_NPROC_EXCEEDED on successful calls to set_user().\n\nReviewed-by: James Morris \u003cjmorris@namei.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Vasiliy Kulikov \u003csegoon@openwall.com\u003e\nAcked-by: NeilBrown \u003cneilb@suse.de\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@linux-foundation.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "fb0a685cb95a0267a96153af2f72486f27be5847", "tree": "99ffae5ab7733ce8a1819fec51ca137a3af48d37", "parents": [ "293eb1e7772b25a93647c798c7b89bf26c2da2e0" ], "author": { "name": "Daniel Rebelo de Oliveira", "email": "psykon@gmail.com", "time": "Tue Jul 26 16:08:39 2011 -0700" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@linux-foundation.org", "time": "Tue Jul 26 16:49:44 2011 -0700" }, "message": "kernel/fork.c: fix a few coding style issues\n\nSigned-off-by: Daniel Rebelo de Oliveira \u003cpsykon@gmail.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@linux-foundation.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@linux-foundation.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "778d3b0ff0654ad7092bf823fd32010066b12365", "tree": "cd0073d8c513e1c56fd6950c4ec985f16fd004ad", "parents": [ "8521fc50d433507a7cdc96bec280f9e5888a54cc" ], "author": { "name": "Michal Hocko", "email": "mhocko@suse.cz", "time": "Tue Jul 26 16:08:30 2011 -0700" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@linux-foundation.org", "time": "Tue Jul 26 16:49:43 2011 -0700" }, "message": "cpusets: randomize node rotor used in cpuset_mem_spread_node()\n\n[ This patch has already been accepted as commit 0ac0c0d0f837 but later\n reverted (commit 35926ff5fba8) because it itroduced arch specific\n __node_random which was defined only for x86 code so it broke other\n archs.

The goal is to\nmake it as simple and predictable as possible so the results are better\nunderstood and we end up killing the task which will lead to the most\nmemory freeing while still respecting the fine-tuning from userspace.\n\nInstead of basing the heuristic on mm-\u003etotal_vm for each task, the task\u0027s\nrss and swap space is used instead. This is a better indication of the\namount of memory that will be freeable if the oom killed task is chosen\nand subsequently exits. This helps specifically in cases where KDE or\nGNOME is chosen for oom kill on desktop systems instead of a memory\nhogging task.\n\nThe baseline for the heuristic is a proportion of memory that each task is\ncurrently using in memory plus swap compared to the amount of \"allowable\"\nmemory. \"Allowable,\" in this sense, means the system-wide resources for\nunconstrained oom conditions, the set of mempolicy nodes, the mems\nattached to current\u0027s cpuset, or a memory controller\u0027s limit. The\nproportion is given on a scale of 0 (never kill) to 1000 (always kill),\nroughly meaning that if a task has a badness() score of 500 that the task\nconsumes approximately 50% of allowable memory resident in RAM or in swap\nspace.\n\nThe proportion is always relative to the amount of \"allowable\" memory and\nnot the total amount of RAM systemwide so that mempolicies and cpusets may\noperate in isolation; they shall not need to know the true size of the\nmachine on which they are running if they are bound to a specific set of\nnodes or mems, respectively.\n\nRoot tasks are given 3% extra memory just like __vm_enough_memory()\nprovides in LSMs. In the event of two tasks consuming similar amounts of\nmemory, it is generally better to save root\u0027s task.\n\nBecause of the change in the badness() heuristic\u0027s baseline, it is also\nnecessary to introduce a new user interface to tune it. It\u0027s not possible\nto redefine the meaning of /proc/pid/oom_adj with a new scale since the\nABI cannot be changed for backward compatability. Instead, a new tunable,\n/proc/pid/oom_score_adj, is added that ranges from -1000 to +1000. It may\nbe used to polarize the heuristic such that certain tasks are never\nconsidered for oom kill while others may always be considered. The value\nis added directly into the badness() score so a value of -500, for\nexample, means to discount 50% of its memory consumption in comparison to\nother tasks either on the system, bound to the mempolicy, in the cpuset,\nor sharing the same memory controller.\n\n/proc/pid/oom_adj is changed so that its meaning is rescaled into the\nunits used by /proc/pid/oom_score_adj, and vice versa. Changing one of\nthese per-task tunables will rescale the value of the other to an\nequivalent meaning. Although /proc/pid/oom_adj was originally defined as\na bitshift on the badness score, it now shares the same linear growth as\n/proc/pid/oom_score_adj but with different granularity. This is required\nso the ABI is not broken with userspace applications and allows oom_adj to\nbe deprecated for future removal.\n\nSigned-off-by: David Rientjes \u003crientjes@google.com\u003e\nCc: Nick Piggin \u003cnpiggin@suse.de\u003e\nCc: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki \u003ckamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com\u003e\nCc: KOSAKI Motohiro \u003ckosaki.motohiro@jp.fujitsu.com\u003e\nCc: Oleg Nesterov \u003coleg@redhat.com\u003e\nCc: Balbir Singh \u003cbalbir@in.ibm.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@linux-foundation.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@linux-foundation.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "21aa9af03d06cb1d19a3738e5cf12acff984e69b", "tree": "e205a742a4a9baf098b4e3d428c04f4d3a065bca", "parents": [ "9ed3811a6c0d6b66e6cd47a5d7b9136386dce743" ], "author": { "name": "Tejun Heo", "email": "tj@kernel.org", "time": "Tue Jun 08 21:40:37 2010 +0200" }, "committer": { "name": "Tejun Heo", "email": "tj@kernel.org", "time": "Tue Jun 08 21:40:37 2010 +0200" }, "message": "sched: add hooks for workqueue\n\nConcurrency managed workqueue needs to know when workers are going to\nsleep and waking up.

Specifically, each anon_vma will be shared between the parent\nprocess and all its child processes.\n\nIn a workload with 1000 child processes and a VMA with 1000 anonymous\npages per process that get COWed, this leads to a system with a million\nanonymous pages in the same anon_vma, each of which is mapped in just one\nof the 1000 processes. However, the current rmap code needs to walk them\nall, leading to O(N) scanning complexity for each page.\n\nThis can result in systems where one CPU is walking the page tables of\n1000 processes in page_referenced_one, while all other CPUs are stuck on\nthe anon_vma lock. This leads to catastrophic failure for a benchmark\nlike AIM7, where the total number of processes can reach in the tens of\nthousands. Real workloads are still a factor 10 less process intensive\nthan AIM7, but they are catching up.\n\nThis patch changes the way anon_vmas and VMAs are linked, which allows us\nto associate multiple anon_vmas with a VMA. At fork time, each child\nprocess gets its own anon_vmas, in which its COWed pages will be\ninstantiated. The parents\u0027 anon_vma is also linked to the VMA, because\nnon-COWed pages could be present in any of the children.\n\nThis reduces rmap scanning complexity to O(1) for the pages of the 1000\nchild processes, with O(N) complexity for at most 1/N pages in the system.\n This reduces the average scanning cost in heavily forking workloads from\nO(N) to 2.\n\nThe only real complexity in this patch stems from the fact that linking a\nVMA to anon_vmas now involves memory allocations. This means vma_adjust\ncan fail, if it needs to attach a VMA to anon_vma structures. This in\nturn means error handling needs to be added to the calling functions.\n\nA second source of complexity is that, because there can be multiple\nanon_vmas, the anon_vma linking in vma_adjust can no longer be done under\n\"the\" anon_vma lock. To prevent the rmap code from walking up an\nincomplete VMA, this patch introduces the VM_LOCK_RMAP VMA flag. This bit\nflag uses the same slot as the NOMMU VM_MAPPED_COPY, with an ifdef in mm.h\nto make sure it is impossible to compile a kernel that needs both symbolic\nvalues for the same bitflag.\n\nSome test results:\n\nWithout the anon_vma changes, when AIM7 hits around 9.7k users (on a test\nbox with 16GB RAM and not quite enough IO), the system ends up running\n\u003e99% in system time, with every CPU on the same anon_vma lock in the\npageout code.\n\nWith these changes, AIM7 hits the cross-over point around 29.7k users.\nThis happens with ~99% IO wait time, there never seems to be any spike in\nsystem time. The anon_vma lock contention appears to be resolved.\n\n[akpm@linux-foundation.org: cleanups]\nSigned-off-by: Rik van Riel \u003criel@redhat.com\u003e\nCc: KOSAKI Motohiro \u003ckosaki.motohiro@jp.fujitsu.com\u003e\nCc: Larry Woodman \u003clwoodman@redhat.com\u003e\nCc: Lee Schermerhorn \u003cLee.Schermerhorn@hp.com\u003e\nCc: Minchan Kim \u003cminchan.kim@gmail.com\u003e\nCc: Andrea Arcangeli \u003caarcange@redhat.com\u003e\nCc: Hugh Dickins \u003chugh.dickins@tiscali.co.uk\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@linux-foundation.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@linux-foundation.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "d559db086ff5be9bcc259e5aa50bf3d881eaf1d1", "tree": "aa968c8a4093234e4623a34c0415bf9d8683671c", "parents": [ "19b629f581320999ddb9f6597051b79cdb53459c" ], "author": { "name": "KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki", "email": "kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com", "time": "Fri Mar 05 13:41:39 2010 -0800" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@linux-foundation.org", "time": "Sat Mar 06 11:26:23 2010 -0800" }, "message": "mm: clean up mm_counter\n\nPresently, per-mm statistics counter is defined by macro in sched.h\n\nThis patch modifies it to\n - defined in mm.h as inlinf functions\n - use array instead of macro\u0027s name creation.\n\nThis patch is for reducing patch size in future patch to modify\nimplementation of per-mm counter.\n\nSigned-off-by: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki \u003ckamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com\u003e\nReviewed-by: Minchan Kim \u003cminchan.kim@gmail.com\u003e\nCc: Christoph Lameter \u003ccl@linux-foundation.org\u003e\nCc: Lee Schermerhorn \u003clee.schermerhorn@hp.com\u003e\nCc: David Rientjes \u003crientjes@google.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@linux-foundation.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@linux-foundation.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "db1466b3e1bd1727375cdbfcbea4bcce2f860f61", "tree": "e56e8d7b82f8851e570d95f531ec62e4d107967a", "parents": [ "0e064caf6402d1d67db4233d26beec88ca212919" ], "author": { "name": "Paul E.

One strong techinque to reduce lock contention is reducing\ncalls by coalescing some amount of calls into one.\n\nConsidering charge/uncharge chatacteristic,\n\t- charge is done one by one via demand-paging.\n\t- uncharge is done by\n\t\t- in chunk at munmap, truncate, exit, execve...\n\t\t- one by one via vmscan/paging.\n\nIt seems we have a chance to coalesce uncharges for improving scalability\nat unmap/truncation.\n\nThis patch is a for coalescing uncharge. For avoiding scattering memcg\u0027s\nstructure to functions under /mm, this patch adds memcg batch uncharge\ninformation to the task. A reason for per-task batching is for making use\nof caller\u0027s context information. We do batched uncharge (deleyed\nuncharge) when truncation/unmap occurs but do direct uncharge when\nuncharge is called by memory reclaim (vmscan.c).\n\nThe degree of coalescing depends on callers\n - at invalidate/trucate... pagevec size\n - at unmap ....ZAP_BLOCK_SIZE\n(memory itself will be freed in this degree.)\nThen, we\u0027ll not coalescing too much.\n\nOn x86-64 8cpu server, I tested overheads of memcg at page fault by\nrunning a program which does map/fault/unmap in a loop.
