2022-05-22rxrpc: Fix locking issueDavid Howells
There's a locking issue with the per-netns list of calls in rxrpc. The pieces of code that add and remove a call from the list use write_lock() and the calls procfile uses read_lock() to access it. However, the timer callback function may trigger a removal by trying to queue a call for processing and finding that it's already queued - at which point it has a spare refcount that it has to do something with. Unfortunately, if it puts the call and this reduces the refcount to 0, the call will be removed from the list. Unfortunately, since the _bh variants of the locking functions aren't used, this can deadlock. ================================ WARNING: inconsistent lock state 5.18.0-rc3-build4+ #10 Not tainted -------------------------------- inconsistent {SOFTIRQ-ON-W} -> {IN-SOFTIRQ-W} usage. ksoftirqd/2/25 [HC0[0]:SC1[1]:HE1:SE0] takes: ffff888107ac4038 (&rxnet->call_lock){+.?.}-{2:2}, at: rxrpc_put_call+0x103/0x14b {SOFTIRQ-ON-W} state was registered at: ...

2022-04-29list: fix a data-race around ep->rdllistKuniyuki Iwashima
ep_poll() first calls ep_events_available() with no lock held and checks if ep->rdllist is empty by list_empty_careful(), which reads rdllist->prev. Thus all accesses to it need some protection to avoid store/load-tearing. Note INIT_LIST_HEAD_RCU() already has the annotation for both prev and next. Commit bf3b9f6372c4 ("epoll: Add busy poll support to epoll with socket fds.") added the first lockless ep_events_available(), and commit c5a282e9635e ("fs/epoll: reduce the scope of wq lock in epoll_wait()") made some ep_events_available() calls lockless and added single call under a lock, finally commit e59d3c64cba6 ("epoll: eliminate unnecessary lock for zero timeout") made the last ep_events_available() lockless.

2019-05-14mm: shuffle initial free memory to improve memory-side-cache utilizationDan Williams
Patch series "mm: Randomize free memory", v10. This patch (of 3): Randomization of the page allocator improves the average utilization of a direct-mapped memory-side-cache. Memory side caching is a platform capability that Linux has been previously exposed to in HPC (high-performance computing) environments on specialty platforms. In that instance it was a smaller pool of high-bandwidth-memory relative to higher-capacity / lower-bandwidth DRAM. Now, this capability is going to be found on general purpose server platforms where DRAM is a cache in front of higher latency persistent memory [1]. Robert offered an explanation of the state of the art of Linux interactions with memory-side-caches [2], and I copy it here: It's been a problem in the HPC space: http://www.nersc.gov/research-and-development/knl-cache-mode-performance-coe/ A kernel module called zonesort is available to try to help: https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/xeon-phi-software and this abandoned patch series proposed that for the kernel: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170823100205.17311-1-lukasz.daniluk@intel.com Dan's patch series doesn't attempt to ensure buffers won't conflict, but also reduces the chance that the buffers will. This will make performance more consistent, albeit slower than "optimal" (which is near impossible to attain in a general-purpose kernel). That's better than forcing users to deploy remedies like: "To eliminate this gradual degradation, we have added a Stream measurement to the Node Health Check that follows each job; nodes are rebooted whenever their measured memory bandwidth falls below 300 GB/s." A replacement for zonesort was merged upstream in commit cc9aec03e58f ("x86/numa_emulation: Introduce uniform split capability"). With this numa_emulation capability, memory can be split into cache sized ("near-memory" sized) numa nodes. A bind operation to such a node, and disabling workloads on other nodes, enables full cache performance. However, once the workload exceeds the cache size then cache conflicts are unavoidable. While HPC environments might be able to tolerate time-scheduling of cache sized workloads, for general purpose server platforms, the oversubscribed cache case will be the common case. The worst case scenario is that a server system owner benchmarks a workload at boot with an un-contended cache only to see that performance degrade over time, even below the average cache performance due to excessive conflicts. Randomization clips the peaks and fills in the valleys of cache utilization to yield steady average performance. Here are some performance impact details of the patches: 1/ An Intel internal synthetic memory bandwidth measurement tool, saw a 3X speedup in a contrived case that tries to force cache conflicts. The contrived cased used the numa_emulation capability to force an instance of the benchmark to be run in two of the near-memory sized numa nodes. If both instances were placed on the same emulated they would fit and cause zero conflicts. While on separate emulated nodes without randomization they underutilized the cache and conflicted unnecessarily due to the in-order allocation per node. 2/ A well known Java server application benchmark was run with a heap size that exceeded cache size by 3X. The cache conflict rate was 8% for the first run and degraded to 21% after page allocator aging. With randomization enabled the rate levelled out at 11%. 3/ A MongoDB workload did not observe measurable difference in cache-conflict rates, but the overall throughput dropped by 7% with randomization in one case. 4/ Mel Gorman ran his suite of performance workloads with randomization enabled on platforms without a memory-side-cache and saw a mix of some improvements and some losses [3]. While there is potentially significant improvement for applications that depend on low latency access across a wide working-set, the performance may be negligible to negative for other workloads. For this reason the shuffle capability defaults to off unless a direct-mapped memory-side-cache is detected. Even then, the page_alloc.shuffle=0 parameter can be specified to disable the randomization on those systems. Outside of memory-side-cache utilization concerns there is potentially security benefit from randomization. Some data exfiltration and return-oriented-programming attacks rely on the ability to infer the location of sensitive data objects. The kernel page allocator, especially early in system boot, has predictable first-in-first out behavior for physical pages. Pages are freed in physical address order when first onlined. Quoting Kees: "While we already have a base-address randomization (CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_MEMORY), attacks against the same hardware and memory layouts would certainly be using the predictability of allocation ordering (i.e. for attacks where the base address isn't important: only the relative positions between allocated memory). This is common in lots of heap-style attacks. They try to gain control over ordering by spraying allocations, etc. I'd really like to see this because it gives us something similar to CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM but for the page allocator." While SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM reduces the predictability of some local slab caches it leaves vast bulk of memory to be predictably in order allocated. However, it should be noted, the concrete security benefits are hard to quantify, and no known CVE is mitigated by this randomization. Introduce shuffle_free_memory(), and its helper shuffle_zone(), to perform a Fisher-Yates shuffle of the page allocator 'free_area' lists when they are initially populated with free memory at boot and at hotplug time. Do this based on either the presence of a page_alloc.shuffle=Y command line parameter, or autodetection of a memory-side-cache (to be added in a follow-on patch). The shuffling is done in terms of CONFIG_SHUFFLE_PAGE_ORDER sized free pages where the default CONFIG_SHUFFLE_PAGE_ORDER is MAX_ORDER-1 i.e. 10, 4MB this trades off randomization granularity for time spent shuffling. MAX_ORDER-1 was chosen to be minimally invasive to the page allocator while still showing memory-side cache behavior improvements, and the expectation that the security implications of finer granularity randomization is mitigated by CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM. The performance impact of the shuffling appears to be in the noise compared to other memory initialization work. This initial randomization can be undone over time so a follow-on patch is introduced to inject entropy on page free decisions. It is reasonable to ask if the page free entropy is sufficient, but it is not enough due to the in-order initial freeing of pages. At the start of that process putting page1 in front or behind page0 still keeps them close together, page2 is still near page1 and has a high chance of being adjacent. As more pages are added ordering diversity improves, but there is still high page locality for the low address pages and this leads to no significant impact to the cache conflict rate.

2019-05-14list: add function list_rotate_to_front()Tobin C. Harding
Patch series "mm: Use slab_list list_head instead of lru", v5. Currently the slab allocators (ab)use the struct page 'lru' list_head. We have a list head for slab allocators to use, 'slab_list'. During v2 it was noted by Christoph that the SLOB allocator was reaching into a list_head, this version adds 2 patches to the front of the set to fix that. Clean up all three allocators by using the 'slab_list' list_head instead of overloading the 'lru' list_head. This patch (of 7): Currently if we wish to rotate a list until a specific item is at the front of the list we can call list_move_tail(head, list). Note that the arguments are the reverse way to the usual use of list_move_tail(list, head). This is a hack, it depends on the developer knowing how the list_head operates internally which violates the layer of abstraction offered by the list_head. Also, it is not intuitive so the next developer to come along must study list.h in order to fully understand what is meant by the call, while this is 'good for' the developer it makes reading the code harder. We should have an function appropriately named that does this if there are users for it intree. By grep'ing the tree for list_move_tail() and list_tail() and attempting to guess the argument order from the names it seems there is only one place currently in the tree that does this - the slob allocatator. Add function list_rotate_to_front() to rotate a list until the specified item is at the front of the list.

2019-03-05mm, compaction: use free lists to quickly locate a migration sourceMel Gorman
The migration scanner is a linear scan of a zone with a potentiall large search space. Furthermore, many pageblocks are unusable such as those filled with reserved pages or partially filled with pages that cannot migrate. These still get scanned in the common case of allocating a THP and the cost accumulates. The patch uses a partial search of the free lists to locate a migration source candidate that is marked as MOVABLE when allocating a THP. It prefers picking a block with a larger number of free pages already on the basis that there are fewer pages to migrate to free the entire block. The lowest PFN found during searches is tracked as the basis of the start for the linear search after the first search of the free list fails. After the search, the free list is shuffled so that the next search will not encounter the same page. If the search fails then the subsequent searches will be shorter and the linear scanner is used. If this search fails, or if the request is for a small or unmovable/reclaimable allocation then the linear scanner is still used. It is somewhat pointless to use the list search in those cases. Small free pages must be used for the search and there is no guarantee that movable pages are located within that block that are contiguous. 5.0.0-rc1 5.0.0-rc1 noboost-v3r10 findmig-v3r15 Amean fault-both-3 3771.41 ( 0.00%) 3390.40 ( 10.10%) Amean fault-both-5 5409.05 ( 0.00%) 5082.28 ( 6.04%) Amean fault-both-7 7040.74 ( 0.00%) 7012.51 ( 0.40%) Amean fault-both-12 11887.35 ( 0.00%) 11346.63 ( 4.55%) Amean fault-both-18 16718.19 ( 0.00%) 15324.19 ( 8.34%) Amean fault-both-24 21157.19 ( 0.00%) 16088.50 * 23.96%* Amean fault-both-30 21175.92 ( 0.00%) 18723.42 * 11.58%* Amean fault-both-32 21339.03 ( 0.00%) 18612.01 * 12.78%* 5.0.0-rc1 5.0.0-rc1 noboost-v3r10 findmig-v3r15 Percentage huge-3 86.50 ( 0.00%) 89.83 ( 3.85%) Percentage huge-5 92.52 ( 0.00%) 91.96 ( -0.61%) Percentage huge-7 92.44 ( 0.00%) 92.85 ( 0.44%) Percentage huge-12 92.98 ( 0.00%) 92.74 ( -0.25%) Percentage huge-18 91.70 ( 0.00%) 91.71 ( 0.02%) Percentage huge-24 91.59 ( 0.00%) 92.13 ( 0.60%) Percentage huge-30 90.14 ( 0.00%) 93.79 ( 4.04%) Percentage huge-32 90.03 ( 0.00%) 91.27 ( 1.37%) This shows an improvement in allocation latencies with similar allocation success rates.

2017-11-02License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no licenseGreg Kroah-Hartman
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

2016-01-15mm, dax, pmem: introduce {get|put}_dev_pagemap() for dax-gupDan Williams
get_dev_page() enables paths like get_user_pages() to pin a dynamically mapped pfn-range (devm_memremap_pages()) while the resulting struct page objects are in use. Unlike get_page() it may fail if the device is, or is in the process of being, disabled. While the initial lookup of the range may be an expensive list walk, the result is cached to speed up subsequent lookups which are likely to be in the same mapped range. devm_memremap_pages() now requires a reference counter to be specified at init time. For pmem this means moving request_queue allocation into pmem_alloc() so the existing queue usage counter can track "device pages". ZONE_DEVICE pages always have an elevated count and will never be on an lru reclaim list. That space in 'struct page' can be redirected for other uses, but for safety introduce a poison value that will always trip __list_add() to assert. This allows half of the struct list_head storage to be reclaimed with some assurance to back up the assumption that the page count never goes to zero and a list_add() is never attempted.

Some filesystems don't use the VFS inode hash and fake the fact they are hashed so that all the writeback code works correctly. However, this means the evict() path still tries to remove the inode from the hash, meaning that the inode_hash_lock() needs to be taken unnecessarily. Hence under certain workloads the inode_hash_lock can be contended even if the inode is never actually hashed. To avoid this add hlist_fake to test if the inode isn't actually hashed to avoid taking the hash lock on inodes that have never been hashed.

2013-11-13list: change list_for_each_entry*() to use list_*_entry()Oleg Nesterov
Now that we have list_{next,prev}_entry() we can change list_for_each_entry*() and list_safe_reset_next() to use the new helpers to improve the readability.

2013-11-13list: introduce list_next_entry() and list_prev_entry()Oleg Nesterov
Add two trivial helpers list_next_entry() and list_prev_entry(), they can have a lot of users including list.h itself. In fact the 1st one is already defined in events/core.c and bnx2x_sp.c, so the patch simply moves the definition to list.h.

2013-07-16linked-list: Remove __list_for_eachDave Jones
__list_for_each used to be the non prefetch() aware list walking primitive. When we removed the prefetch macros from the list routines, it became redundant. Given it does exactly the same thing as list_for_each now, we might as well remove it and call list_for_each directly. All users of __list_for_each have been converted to list_for_each calls in the current merge window.

2013-03-14list: Fix double fetch of pointer in hlist_entry_safe()Paul E. McKenney
The current version of hlist_entry_safe() fetches the pointer twice, once to test for NULL and the other to compute the offset back to the enclosing structure. This is OK for normal lock-based use because in that case, the pointer cannot change. However, when the pointer is protected by RCU (as in "rcu_dereference(p)"), then the pointer can change at any time. This use case can result in the following sequence of events: 1. CPU 0 invokes hlist_entry_safe(), fetches the RCU-protected pointer as sees that it is non-NULL. 2. CPU 1 invokes hlist_del_rcu(), deleting the entry that CPU 0 just fetched a pointer to. Because this is the last entry in the list, the pointer fetched by CPU 0 is now NULL. 3. CPU 0 refetches the pointer, obtains NULL, and then gets a NULL-pointer crash. This commit therefore applies gcc's "({ })" statement expression to create a temporary variable so that the specified pointer is fetched only once, avoiding the above sequence of events. Please note that it is the caller's responsibility to use rcu_dereference() as needed. This allows RCU-protected uses to work correctly without imposing any additional overhead on the non-RCU case.

2013-02-27hlist: drop the node parameter from iteratorsSasha Levin
I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member) The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter: hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member) Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate. Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required: - Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h - Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones. - A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this was modified to use 'obj->member' instead. - Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator properly, so those had to be fixed up manually. The semantic patch which is mostly the work of Peter Senna Tschudin is here: @@ iterator name hlist_for_each_entry, hlist_for_each_entry_continue, hlist_for_each_entry_from, hlist_for_each_entry_rcu, hlist_for_each_entry_rcu_bh, hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu_bh, for_each_busy_worker, ax25_uid_for_each, ax25_for_each, inet_bind_bucket_for_each, sctp_for_each_hentry, sk_for_each, sk_for_each_rcu, sk_for_each_from, sk_for_each_safe, sk_for_each_bound, hlist_for_each_entry_safe, hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu, nr_neigh_for_each, nr_neigh_for_each_safe, nr_node_for_each, nr_node_for_each_safe, for_each_gfn_indirect_valid_sp, for_each_gfn_sp, for_each_host; type T; expression a,c,d,e; identifier b; statement S; @@ -T b; <+... when != b ( hlist_for_each_entry(a, - b, c, d) S | hlist_for_each_entry_continue(a, - b, c) S | hlist_for_each_entry_from(a, - b, c) S | hlist_for_each_entry_rcu(a, - b, c, d) S | hlist_for_each_entry_rcu_bh(a, - b, c, d) S | hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu_bh(a, - b, c) S | for_each_busy_worker(a, c, - b, d) S | ax25_uid_for_each(a, - b, c) S | ax25_for_each(a, - b, c) S | inet_bind_bucket_for_each(a, - b, c) S | sctp_for_each_hentry(a, - b, c) S | sk_for_each(a, - b, c) S | sk_for_each_rcu(a, - b, c) S | sk_for_each_from -(a, b) +(a) S + sk_for_each_from(a) S | sk_for_each_safe(a, - b, c, d) S | sk_for_each_bound(a, - b, c) S | hlist_for_each_entry_safe(a, - b, c, d, e) S | hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu(a, - b, c) S | nr_neigh_for_each(a, - b, c) S | nr_neigh_for_each_safe(a, - b, c, d) S | nr_node_for_each(a, - b, c) S | nr_node_for_each_safe(a, - b, c, d) S | - for_each_gfn_sp(a, c, d, b) S + for_each_gfn_sp(a, c, d) S | - for_each_gfn_indirect_valid_sp(a, c, d, b) S + for_each_gfn_indirect_valid_sp(a, c, d) S | for_each_host(a, - b, c) S | for_each_host_safe(a, - b, c, d) S | for_each_mesh_entry(a, - b, c, d) S ) ...+> [akpm@linux-foundation.org: drop bogus change from net/ipv4/raw.c] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: drop bogus hunk from net/ipv6/raw.c] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: checkpatch fixes] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix warnings] [akpm@linux-foudnation.org: redo intrusive kvm changes] Tested-by: Peter Senna Tschudin <peter.senna@gmail.com> Acked-by: Paul E.

2011-05-19list: remove prefetching from regular list iteratorsLinus Torvalds
This is removes the use of software prefetching from the regular list iterators. We don't want it. If you do want to prefetch in some iterator of yours, go right ahead. Just don't expect the iterator to do it, since normally the downsides are bigger than the upsides. It also replaces <linux/prefetch.h> with <linux/const.h>, because the use of LIST_POISON ends up needing it. <linux/poison.h> is sadly not self-contained, and including prefetch.h just happened to hide that. Suggested by David Miller (networking has a lot of regular lists that are often empty or a single entry, and prefetching is not going to do anything but add useless instructions).
