* padata: avoid race in reorderingJason A. Donenfeld2017-03-241-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Under extremely heavy uses of padata, crashes occur, and with list debugging turned on, this happens instead: [87487.298728] WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 882 at lib/list_debug.c:33 __list_add+0xae/0x130 [87487.301868] list_add corruption. prev->next should be next (ffffb17abfc043d0), but was ffff8dba70872c80.

This pdata pointer comes from the function call to padata_get_next(pd), which has in it the following block: next_queue = per_cpu_ptr(pd->pqueue, cpu); padata = NULL; reorder = &next_queue->reorder; if (!list_empty(&reorder->list)) { padata = list_entry(reorder->list.next, struct padata_priv, list); spin_lock(&reorder->lock); list_del_init(&padata->list); atomic_dec(&pd->reorder_objects); spin_unlock(&reorder->lock); pd->processed++; goto out; } out: return padata; I strongly suspect that the problem here is that two threads can race on reorder list. Even though the deletion is locked, call to list_entry is not locked, which means it's feasible that two threads pick up the same padata object and subsequently call list_add_tail on them at the same time. The fix is thus be hoist that lock outside of that block. Signed-off-by: Jason A.

* padata: make the sequence counter an atomic_tMathias Krause2013-10-301-5/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Using a spinlock to atomically increase a counter sounds wrong -- we've atomic_t for this! Also move 'seq_nr' to a different cache line than 'lock' to reduce cache line trashing. This has the nice side effect of decreasing the size of struct parallel_data from 192 to 128 bytes for a x86-64 build, e.g. occupying only two instead of three cache lines. Those changes results in a 5% performance increase on an IPsec test run using pcrypt. Btw. the seq_lock spinlock was never explicitly initialized -- one more reason to get rid of it.

* padata: Fix race on sequence number wrapSteffen Klassert2012-03-141-28/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When padata_do_parallel() is called from multiple cpus for the same padata instance, we can get object reordering on sequence number wrap because testing for sequence number wrap and reseting the sequence number must happen atomically but is implemented with two atomic operations. This patch fixes this by converting the sequence number from atomic_t to an unsigned int and protect the access with a spin_lock. As a side effect, we get rid of the sequence number wrap handling because the seqence number wraps back to null now without the need to do anything.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A function that copies the padata cpumasks to a user buffer is a bit error prone. The cpumask can change any time so we can't be sure to have the right cpumask when using this function.

Also each padata instance has notifiers chain for its cpumasks now. If either parallel or serial or both masks were changed all interested subsystems will get notification about that.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes a bug when the padata cpumask does not intersect with the active cpumask. In this case we get a division by zero in padata_alloc_pd and we end up with a useless padata instance. Padata can end up with an empty cpumask for two reasons: 1. A user removed the last cpu that belongs to the padata cpumask and the active cpumask. 2. The last cpu that belongs to the padata cpumask and the active cpumask goes offline. We introduce a function padata_validate_cpumask to check if the padata cpumask does intersect with the active cpumask. If the cpumasks do not intersect we mark the instance as invalid, so it can't be used. We do not allocate the cpumask dependend recources in this case. This fixes the division by zero and keeps the padate instance in a consistent state. It's not possible to trigger this bug by now because the only padata user, pcrypt uses always the possible cpumask.

* padata: Use a timer to handle remaining objects in the reorder queues Steffen Klassert2010-05-191-7/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | padata_get_next needs to check whether the next object that need serialization must be parallel processed by the local cpu. This check was wrong implemented and returned always true, so the try_again loop in padata_reorder was never taken. This can lead to object leaks in some rare cases due to a race that appears with the trylock in padata_reorder. The try_again loop was not a good idea after all, because a cpu could take that loop frequently, so we handle this with a timer instead. This patch adds a timer to handle the race that appears with the trylock. If cpu1 queues an object to the reorder queue while cpu2 holds the pd->lock but left the while loop in padata_reorder already, cpu2 can't care for this object and cpu1 exits because it can't get the lock. Usually the next cpu that takes the lock cares for this object too. We need the timer just if this object was the last one that arrives to the reorder queues. The timer function sends it out in this case. Signed-off-by: Steffen Klassert <steffen.klassert@secunet.com> Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>

| * include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo2010-03-301-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.
