"writeback: per task dirty rate limit\n\nAdd two fields to task_struct.\n\n1) account dirtied pages in the individual tasks, for accuracy\n2) per-task balance_dirty_pages() call intervals, for flexibility\n\nThe balance_dirty_pages() call interval (ie. nr_dirtied_pause) will\nscale near-sqrt to the safety gap between dirty pages and threshold.\n\nThe main problem of per-task nr_dirtied is, if 1k+ tasks start dirtying\npages at exactly the same time, each task will be assigned a large\ninitial nr_dirtied_pause, so that the dirty threshold will be exceeded\nlong before each task reached its nr_dirtied_pause and hence call\nbalance_dirty_pages().\n\nThe solution is to watch for the number of pages dirtied on each CPU in\nbetween the calls into balance_dirty_pages(). If it exceeds ratelimit_pages\n(3% dirty threshold), force call balance_dirty_pages() for a chance to\nset bdi-\u003edirty_exceeded. In normal situations, this safeguarding\ncondition is not expected to trigger at all.\n\nOn the sqrt in dirty_poll_interval():\n\nIt will serve as an initial guess when dirty pages are still in the\nfreerun area.\n\nWhen dirty pages are floating inside the dirty control scope [freerun,\nlimit], a followup patch will use some refined dirty poll interval to\nget the desired pause time.\n\n thresh-dirty (MB) sqrt\n\t\t 1 16\n\t\t 2 22\n\t\t 4 32\n\t\t 8 45\n\t\t 16 64\n\t\t 32 90\n\t\t 64 128\n\t\t 128 181\n\t\t 256 256\n\t\t 512 362\n\t\t1024 512\n\nThe above table means, given 1MB (or 1GB) gap and the dd tasks polling\nbalance_dirty_pages() on every 16 (or 512) pages, the dirty limit won\u0027t\nbe exceeded as long as there are less than 16 (or 512) concurrent dd\u0027s.\n\nSo sqrt naturally leads to less overheads and more safe concurrent tasks\nfor large memory servers, which have large (thresh-freerun) gaps.\n\npeter: keep the per-CPU ratelimit for safeguarding the 1k+ tasks case\n\nCC: Peter Zijlstra \u003ca.p.zijlstra@chello.nl\u003e\nReviewed-by: Andrea Righi \u003candrea@betterlinux.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Wu Fengguang \u003cfengguang.wu@intel.com\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "d670ec13178d0fd8680e6742a2bc6e04f28f87d8", "tree": "81a2ac824dd92a0536e42f9a0ba3d83240856722", "parents": [ "6ebbe7a07b3bc40b168d2afc569a6543c020d2e3" ], "author": { "name": "Peter Zijlstra", "email": "a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl", "time": "Thu Sep 01 12:42:04 2011 +0200" }, "committer": { "name": "Thomas Gleixner", "email": "tglx@linutronix.de", "time": "Fri Sep 30 14:07:06 2011 +0200" }, "message": "posix-cpu-timers: Cure SMP wobbles\n\nDavid reported:\n\n Attached below is a watered-down version of rt/tst-cpuclock2.c from\n GLIBC.

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

These deadlocks would result from RCU incorrectly\nbelieving that the just-ended RCU read-side critical section had been\npreempted and/or boosted. If that RCU read-side critical section was\nexecuted with either rq or pi locks held, RCU\u0027s ensuing (incorrect)\ncalls to the scheduler would cause the scheduler to attempt to once\nagain acquire the rq and pi locks, resulting in deadlock. More complex\ndeadlock cycles are also possible, involving multiple rq and pi locks\nas well as locks from multiple rcu_node structures.\n\nThis commit fixes synchronization by creating -\u003ercu_boosted field in\ntask_struct that is accessed and modified only when holding the -\u003elock\nin the rcu_node structure on which the task is queued (on that rcu_node\nstructure\u0027s -\u003eblkd_tasks list). This results in tasks accessing only\ntheir own current-\u003ercu_read_unlock_special fields, making unsynchronized\naccess once again legal, and keeping the rcu_read_unlock() fastpath free\nof atomic instructions and memory barriers.\n\nThe reason that the rcu_read_unlock() fastpath does not need to access\nthe new current-\u003ercu_boosted field is that this new field cannot\nbe non-zero unless the RCU_READ_UNLOCK_BLOCKED bit is set in the\ncurrent-\u003ercu_read_unlock_special field. Therefore, rcu_read_unlock()\nneed only test current-\u003ercu_read_unlock_special: if that is zero, then\ncurrent-\u003ercu_boosted must also be zero.\n\nThis bug does not affect TINY_PREEMPT_RCU because this implementation\nof RCU accesses current-\u003ercu_read_unlock_special with irqs disabled,\nthus preventing races on the !SMP systems that TINY_PREEMPT_RCU runs on.\n\nMaybe-reported-by: Dave Jones \u003cdavej@redhat.com\u003e\nMaybe-reported-by: Sergey Senozhatsky \u003csergey.senozhatsky@gmail.com\u003e\nReported-by: Steven Rostedt \u003crostedt@goodmis.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Paul E.

This will be addressed by a later patch.\n\nAn example program follows.\n\n #define PTRACE_SEIZE\t\t0x4206\n #define PTRACE_INTERRUPT\t0x4207\n\n #define PTRACE_SEIZE_DEVEL\t0x80000000\n\n static const struct timespec ts1s \u003d { .tv_sec \u003d 1 };\n\n int main(int argc, char **argv)\n {\n\t pid_t tracee, tracer;\n\t int i;\n\n\t tracee \u003d fork();\n\t if (!tracee)\n\t\t while (1)\n\t\t\t pause();\n\n\t tracer \u003d fork();\n\t if (!tracer) {\n\t\t siginfo_t si;\n\n\t\t ptrace(PTRACE_SEIZE, tracee, NULL,\n\t\t\t (void *)(unsigned long)PTRACE_SEIZE_DEVEL);\n\t\t ptrace(PTRACE_INTERRUPT, tracee, NULL, NULL);\n\t repeat:\n\t\t waitid(P_PID, tracee, NULL, WSTOPPED);\n\n\t\t ptrace(PTRACE_GETSIGINFO, tracee, NULL, \u0026si);\n\t\t if (!si.si_code) {\n\t\t\t printf(\"tracer: SIG %d\\n\", si.si_signo);\n\t\t\t ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, tracee, NULL,\n\t\t\t\t (void *)(unsigned long)si.si_signo);\n\t\t\t goto repeat;\n\t\t }\n\t\t printf(\"tracer: stopped\u003d%d signo\u003d%d\\n\",\n\t\t\t si.si_signo !\u003d SIGTRAP, si.si_signo);\n\t\t ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, tracee, NULL, NULL);\n\t\t goto repeat;\n\t }\n\n\t for (i \u003d 0; i \u003c 3; i++) {\n\t\t nanosleep(\u0026ts1s, NULL);\n\t\t printf(\"mother: SIGSTOP\\n\");\n\t\t kill(tracee, SIGSTOP);\n\t\t nanosleep(\u0026ts1s, NULL);\n\t\t printf(\"mother: SIGCONT\\n\");\n\t\t kill(tracee, SIGCONT);\n\t }\n\t nanosleep(\u0026ts1s, NULL);\n\n\t kill(tracer, SIGKILL);\n\t kill(tracee, SIGKILL);\n\t return 0;\n }\n\nIn the above program, tracer keeps tracee running and gets\nnotification of each group stop state changes.\n\n # ./test-notify\n tracer: stopped\u003d0 signo\u003d5\n mother: SIGSTOP\n tracer: SIG 19\n tracer: stopped\u003d1 signo\u003d19\n mother: SIGCONT\n tracer: stopped\u003d0 signo\u003d5\n tracer: SIG 18\n mother: SIGSTOP\n tracer: SIG 19\n tracer: stopped\u003d1 signo\u003d19\n mother: SIGCONT\n tracer: stopped\u003d0 signo\u003d5\n tracer: SIG 18\n mother: SIGSTOP\n tracer: SIG 19\n tracer: stopped\u003d1 signo\u003d19\n mother: SIGCONT\n tracer: stopped\u003d0 signo\u003d5\n tracer: SIG 18\n\nSigned-off-by: Tejun Heo \u003ctj@kernel.org\u003e\nCc: Oleg Nesterov \u003coleg@redhat.com\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "73ddff2bee159ffb580bd24faf625cd5e628f5ec", "tree": "218cf5101b67c98ef99814e59706976d3ad245c2", "parents": [ "dd1d6772692316fe35094085c5e4d9a370ad3462" ], "author": { "name": "Tejun Heo", "email": "tj@kernel.org", "time": "Tue Jun 14 11:20:14 2011 +0200" }, "committer": { "name": "Oleg Nesterov", "email": "oleg@redhat.com", "time": "Thu Jun 16 21:41:52 2011 +0200" }, "message": "job control: introduce JOBCTL_TRAP_STOP and use it for group stop trap\n\ndo_signal_stop() implemented both normal group stop and trap for group\nstop while ptraced. This approach has been enough but scheduled\nchanges require trap mechanism which can be used in more generic\nmanner and using group stop trap for generic trap site simplifies both\nuserland visible interface and implementation.\n\nThis patch adds a new jobctl flag - JOBCTL_TRAP_STOP. When set, it\ntriggers a trap site, which behaves like group stop trap, in\nget_signal_to_deliver() after checking for pending signals. While\nptraced, do_signal_stop() doesn\u0027t stop itself. It initiates group\nstop if requested and schedules JOBCTL_TRAP_STOP and returns. The\ncaller - get_signal_to_deliver() - is responsible for checking whether\nTRAP_STOP is pending afterwards and handling it.\n\nptrace_attach() is updated to use JOBCTL_TRAP_STOP instead of\nJOBCTL_STOP_PENDING and __ptrace_unlink() to clear all pending trap\nbits and TRAPPING so that TRAP_STOP and future trap bits don\u0027t linger\nafter detach.\n\nWhile at it, add proper function comment to do_signal_stop() and make\nit return bool.\n\n-v2: __ptrace_unlink() updated to clear JOBCTL_TRAP_MASK and TRAPPING\n instead of JOBCTL_PENDING_MASK.

Spotted by Oleg.\n\n-v3: do_signal_stop() updated to return %false without dropping\n siglock while ptraced and TRAP_STOP check moved inside for(;;)\n loop after group stop participation. This avoids unnecessary\n relocking and also will help avoiding unnecessary traps by\n consuming group stop before handling pending traps.\n\n-v4: Jobctl trap handling moved into a separate function -\n do_jobctl_trap().\n\nSigned-off-by: Tejun Heo \u003ctj@kernel.org\u003e\nCc: Oleg Nesterov \u003coleg@redhat.com\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "bdd4e85dc36cdbcfc1608a5b2a17c80a9db8986a", "tree": "9cee98e78a5aa6a00f3b7ce805b1e39a0137b4a4", "parents": [ "2da8c8bc44b572cbf623629ff736608dc7968436" ], "author": { "name": "Frederic Weisbecker", "email": "fweisbec@gmail.com", "time": "Wed Jun 08 01:13:27 2011 +0200" }, "committer": { "name": "Frederic Weisbecker", "email": "fweisbec@gmail.com", "time": "Fri Jun 10 15:15:40 2011 +0200" }, "message": "sched: Isolate preempt counting in its own config option\n\nCreate a new CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT that handles the inc/dec\nof preempt count offset independently.

He sent me a config and I used ktest to do a config_bisect on it\n(as my config did not cause the crash). It pointed out that the problem\nconfig was CONFIG_PROVE_RCU.\n\nWhat happened was that if multiple callbacks are attached to the\nfunction tracer, we iterate a list of callbacks. Because the list is\nmanaged by synchronize_sched() and preempt_disable, the access to the\npointers uses rcu_dereference_raw().\n\nWhen PROVE_RCU is enabled, the rcu_dereference_raw() calls some\ndebugging functions, which happen to be traced. The tracing of the debug\nfunction would then call rcu_dereference_raw() which would then call the\ndebug function and then... well you get the idea.\n\nI first wrote two different patches to solve this bug.\n\n1) add a __rcu_dereference_raw() that would not do any checks.\n2) add notrace to the offending debug functions.\n\nBoth of these patches worked.\n\nTalking with Paul McKenney on IRC, he suggested to add recursion\ndetection instead. This seemed to be a better solution, so I decided to\nimplement it. As the task_struct already has a trace_recursion to detect\nrecursion in the ring buffer, and that has a very small number it\nallows, I decided to use that same variable to add flags that can detect\nthe recursion inside the infrastructure of the function tracer.\n\nI plan to change it so that the task struct bit can be checked in\nmcount, but as that requires changes to all archs, I will hold that off\nto the next merge window.\n\nCc: Ingo Molnar \u003cmingo@elte.hu\u003e\nCc: Peter Zijlstra \u003cpeterz@infradead.org\u003e\nCc: Thomas Gleixner \u003ctglx@linutronix.de\u003e\nCc: Frederic Weisbecker \u003cfweisbec@gmail.com\u003e\nCc: Paul E.

data-structures\n\nInstead of relying on static allocations for the sched_domain and\nsched_group trees, dynamically allocate and RCU free them.\n\nAllocating this dynamically also allows for some build_sched_groups()\nsimplification since we can now (like with other simplifications) rely\non the sched_domain tree instead of hard-coded knowledge.\n\nOne tricky to note is that detach_destroy_domains() needs to hold\nrcu_read_lock() over the entire tear-down, per-cpu is not sufficient\nsince that can lead to partial sched_group existance (could possibly\nbe solved by doing the tear-down backwards but this is much more\nrobust).\n\nA concequence of the above is that we can no longer print the\nsched_domain debug stuff from cpu_attach_domain() since that might now\nrun with preemption disabled (due to classic RCU etc.) and\nsched_domain_debug() does some GFP_KERNEL allocations.\n\nAnother thing to note is that we now fully rely on normal RCU and not\nRCU-sched, this is because with the new and exiting RCU flavours we\ngrew over the years BH doesn\u0027t necessarily hold off RCU-sched grace\nperiods (-rt is known to break this).

The only\npurpose of this bit is: we can drop -\u003esiglock after __dequeue_signal()\nreturns the sig_kernel_stop() signal and before we call\ndo_signal_stop(), in this case we must not miss SIGCONT

time.\n\nConsider two threads T1 and T2, SIGTTIN has a hanlder.\n\n\t- T1 dequeues SIGTSTP and sets SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED, then\n\t it drops -\u003esiglock\n\n\t- SIGCONT comes and clears SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED, SIGTSTP\n\t should be cancelled.\n\n\t- T2 dequeues SIGTTIN and sets SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED again.\n\t Since we have a handler we should not stop, T2 returns\n\t to usermode to run

transitions between TASK_STOPPED and TRACED\n\nCurrently, if the task is STOPPED on ptrace attach, it\u0027s left alone\nand the state is silently changed to TRACED on the next ptrace call.\nThe behavior breaks the assumption that arch_ptrace_stop() is called\nbefore any task is poked by ptrace and is ugly in that a task\nmanipulates the state of another task directly.\n\nWith GROUP_STOP_PENDING, the transitions between TASK_STOPPED and\nTRACED can be made clean. The tracer can use the flag to tell the\ntracee to retry stop on attach and detach. On retry, the tracee will\nenter the desired state in the correct way. The lower 16bits of\ntask-\u003egroup_stop is used to remember the signal number which caused\nthe last group stop. This is used while retrying for ptrace attach as\nthe original group_exit_code could have been consumed with wait(2) by\nthen.\n\nAs the real parent may wait(2) and consume the group_exit_code\nanytime, the group_exit_code needs to be saved separately so that it\ncan be used when switching from regular sleep to ptrace_stop(). This\nis recorded in the lower 16bits of task-\u003egroup_stop.\n\nIf a task is already stopped and there\u0027s no intervening SIGCONT, a\nptrace request immediately following a successful PTRACE_ATTACH should\nalways succeed even if the tracer doesn\u0027t wait(2) for attach\ncompletion; however, with this change, the tracee might still be\nTASK_RUNNING trying to enter TASK_TRACED which would cause the\nfollowing request to fail with -ESRCH.\n\nThis intermediate state is hidden from the ptracer by setting\nGROUP_STOP_TRAPPING on attach and making ptrace_check_attach() wait\nfor it to clear on its signal-\u003ewait_chldexit. Completing the\ntransition or getting killed clears TRAPPING and wakes up the tracer.\n\nNote that the STOPPED -\u003e RUNNING -\u003e TRACED transition is still visible\nto other threads which are in the same group as the ptracer and the\nreverse transition is visible to all. Please read the comments for\ndetails.\n\nOleg:\n\n* Spotted a race condition where a task may retry group stop without\n proper bookkeeping.

The flag is set when a\ngroup stop starts and cleared when the task stops the first time for\nthe group stop, and consulted whenever whether the task should\nparticipate in a group stop needs to be determined.
