There are 2 well known and ancient problems with coredump/signals, and a
lot of related bug reports:
- do_coredump() clears TIF_SIGPENDING but of course this can't help
if, say, SIGCHLD comes after that.
In this case the coredump can fail unexpectedly. See for example
wait_for_dump_helper()->signal_pending() check but there are other
reasons.
- At the same time, dumping a huge core on the slow media can take a
lot of time/resources and there is no way to kill the coredumping
task reliably. In particular this is not oom_kill-friendly.
This patch tries to fix the 1st problem, and makes the preparation for the
next changes.
We add the new SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMP flag set by zap_threads() to indicate
that this process dumps the core. prepare_signal() checks this flag and
nacks any signal except SIGKILL.
Note that this check tries to be conservative, in the long term we should
probably treat the SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT case equally but this needs more
discussion. See marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=120508897917439
Notes:
- recalc_sigpending() doesn't check SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMP.
The patch assumes that dump_write/etc paths should never
call it, but we can change it as well.
- There is another source of TIF_SIGPENDING, freezer. This
will be addressed separately.

The NILFS2 driver remounts itself in RO mode in the case of discovering
metadata corruption (for example, discovering a broken bmap). But
usually, this takes place when there have been file system operations
before remounting in RO mode.
Thereby, NILFS2 driver can be in RO mode with presence of dirty pages in
modified inodes' address spaces. It results in flush kernel thread's
infinite trying to flush dirty pages in RO mode. As a result, it is
possible to see such side effects as: (1) flush kernel thread occupies
50% - 99% of CPU time; (2) system can't be shutdowned without manual
power switch off.
SYMPTOMS:
(1) System log contains error message: "Remounting filesystem read-only".
(2) The flush kernel thread occupies 50% - 99% of CPU time.
(3) The system can't be shutdowned without manual power switch off.
REPRODUCTION PATH:
(1) Create volume group with name "unencrypted" by means of vgcreate utility.
(2) Run script (prepared by Anthony Doggett <Anthony2486@interfaces.org.uk>):
----------------[BEGIN SCRIPT]--------------------

(3) Try to shutdown the system.
REPRODUCIBILITY: 100%
FIX:
This patch implements checking mount state of NILFS2 driver in
nilfs_writepage(), nilfs_writepages() and nilfs_mdt_write_page()
methods. If it is detected the RO mount state then all dirty pages are
simply discarded with warning messages is written in system log.

It is common for epoll users to have thousands of epitems, so saving a
cache line on every allocation leads to large memory savings.
Since epitem allocations are cache-aligned, reducing sizeof(struct
epitem) from 136 bytes to 128 bytes will allow it to squeeze under a
cache line boundary on x86_64.
Via /sys/kernel/slab/eventpoll_epi, I see the following changes on my
x86_64 Core2 Duo (which has 64-byte cache alignment):
object_size : 192 => 128
objs_per_slab: 21 => 32
Also, add a BUILD_BUG_ON() to check for future accidental breakage.

Writeback has been recently converted to use workqueue instead of its
private thread pool implementation. One negative side effect of this
conversion is that there's no easy to tell which backing device a
writeback work item was working on at the time of task dump, be it
sysrq-t, BUG, WARN or whatever, which, according to our writeback
brethren, is important in tracking down issues with a lot of mounted
file systems on a lot of different devices.
This patch restores that information using the new worker description
facility. bdi_writeback_workfn() calls set_work_desc() to identify
which bdi it's working on. The description is printed out together with
the worqueue name and worker function as in the following example dump.

Call cond_resched() in shrink_dcache_parent() to maintain interactivity.
Before this patch:
void shrink_dcache_parent(struct dentry * parent)
{
while ((found = select_parent(parent, &dispose)) != 0)
shrink_dentry_list(&dispose);
}
select_parent() populates the dispose list with dentries which
shrink_dentry_list() then deletes. select_parent() carefully uses
need_resched() to avoid doing too much work at once. But neither
shrink_dcache_parent() nor its called functions call cond_resched(). So
once need_resched() is set select_parent() will return single dentry
dispose list which is then deleted by shrink_dentry_list(). This is
inefficient when there are a lot of dentry to process. This can cause
softlockup and hurts interactivity on non preemptable kernels.
This change adds cond_resched() in shrink_dcache_parent(). The benefit
of this is that need_resched() is quickly cleared so that future calls
to select_parent() are able to efficiently return a big batch of dentry.
These additional cond_resched() do not seem to impact performance, at
least for the workload below.
Here is a program which can cause soft lockup if other system activity
sets need_resched().

{
struct rlimit rlim;
int i;
int f[100000];

When we run the crackerjack testsuite, the inotify_add_watch test is

This is caused by the invalid mask 0 - the task is waiting for the event
but it never comes. inotify_add_watch() should return -EINVAL as it did
before commit 676a0675cf ("inotify: remove broken mask checks causing
unmount to be EINVAL"). That commit removes the invalid mask check, but
that check is needed.
Check the mask's ALL_INOTIFY_BITS before the inotify_arg_to_mask() call.
If none are set, just return -EINVAL.
Because IN_UNMOUNT is in ALL_INOTIFY_BITS, this change will not trigger
the problem that above commit fixed.

Pull core timer updates from Ingo Molnar:
"The main changes in this cycle's merge are:
- Implement shadow timekeeper to shorten in kernel reader side
blocking, by Thomas Gleixner.
- Posix timers enhancements by Pavel Emelyanov:
- allocate timer ID per process, so that exact timer ID allocations
can be re-created be checkpoint/restore code.
- debuggability and tooling (/proc/PID/timers, etc.) improvements.
- suspend/resume enhancements by Feng Tang: on certain new Intel Atom
processors (Penwell and Cloverview), there is a feature that the
TSC won't stop in S3 state, so the TSC value won't be reset to 0
after resume. This can be taken advantage of by the generic via
the CLOCK_SOURCE_SUSPEND_NONSTOP flag: instead of using the RTC to
recover/approximate sleep time, the main (and precise) clocksource
can be used.
- Fix /proc/timer_list for 4096 CPUs by Nathan Zimmer: on so many
CPUs the file goes beyond 4MB of size and thus the current
simplistic seqfile approach fails. Convert /proc/timer_list to a
proper seq_file with its own iterator.
- Cleanups and refactorings of the core timekeeping code by John
Stultz.
- International Atomic Clock time is managed by the NTP code
internally currently but not exposed externally. Separate the TAI
code out and add CLOCK_TAI support and TAI support to the hrtimer
and posix-timer code, by John Stultz.
- Add deep idle support enhacement to the broadcast clockevents core
timer code, by Daniel Lezcano: add an opt-in CLOCK_EVT_FEAT_DYNIRQ
clockevents feature (which will be utilized by future clockevents
driver updates), which allows the use of IRQ affinities to avoid
spurious wakeups of idle CPUs - the right CPU with an expiring
timer will be woken.

This patch enables rebuilding of directory inodes which are not present in
the cache.This is done by traversing the disk clusters to find the
directory entry of the parent directory and using its i_pos to build the
inode.
The traversal is done by fat_scan_logstart() which is similar to
fat_scan() but matches i_pos values instead of names.fat_scan_logstart()
needs an inode parameter to work, for which a dummy inode is created by
it's caller fat_rebuild_parent(). This dummy inode is destroyed after the
traversal completes.
All this is done only if the nostale_ro nfs mount option is specified.

This patchset eliminates the client side ESTALE errors when a FAT
partition exported over NFS has its dentries evicted from the cache. The
idea is to find the on-disk location_'i_pos' of the dirent of the inode
that has been evicted and use it to rebuild the inode.
This patch:
Provide two possible values 'stale_rw' and 'nostale_ro' for the -o nfs
mount option.The first one allows all file operations but does not reduce
ESTALE errors on memory constrained systems. The second one eliminates
ESTALE errors but mounts the filesystem as read-only. Not specifying a
value defaults to 'stale_rw'.

On architectures where a pgd entry may be shared between user and kernel
(e.g. ARM+LPAE), freeing page tables needs a ceiling other than 0.
This patch introduces a generic USER_PGTABLES_CEILING that arch code can
override. It is the responsibility of the arch code setting the ceiling
to ensure the complete freeing of the page tables (usually in
pgd_free()).

Now get_vmalloc_info() is in fs/proc/mmu.c. There is no reason that this
code must be here and it's implementation needs vmlist_lock and it iterate
a vmlist which may be internal data structure for vmalloc.
It is preferable that vmlist_lock and vmlist is only used in vmalloc.c
for maintainability. So move the code to vmalloc.c

Walking a bio's page mappings has proved problematic, so create a new
bio flag to indicate that a bio's data needs to be snapshotted in order
to guarantee stable pages during writeback. Next, for the one user
(ext3/jbd) of snapshotting, hook all the places where writes can be
initiated without PG_writeback set, and set BIO_SNAP_STABLE there.
We must also flag journal "metadata" bios for stable writeout, since
file data can be written through the journal. Finally, the
MS_SNAP_STABLE mount flag (only used by ext3) is now superfluous, so get
rid of it.

Currently, dio_send_cur_page() submits bio before current page and cached
sdio->cur_page is added to the bio if sdio->boundary is set. This is
actually wrong because sdio->boundary means the current buffer is the last
one before metadata needs to be read. So we should rather submit the bio
after the current page is added to it.

When we read/write a file sequentially, we will read/write not only the
data blocks but also the indirect blocks that may not be physically
adjacent to the data blocks. So filesystems set the BH_Boundary flag to
submit the previous I/O before reading/writing an indirect block.
However the generic direct IO code mishandles buffer_boundary(), setting
sdio->boundary before each submit_page_section() call which results in
sending only one page bios as underlying code thinks this page is the last
in the contiguous extent. So fix the problem by setting sdio->boundary
only if the current page is really the last one in the mapped extent.
With this patch and "direct-io: submit bio after boundary buffer is added
to it" I've measured about 10% throughput improvement of direct IO reads
on ext3 with SATA harddrive (from 90 MB/s to 100 MB/s). With ramdisk, the
improvement was about 3-fold (from 350 MB/s to 1.2 GB/s). For other
filesystems (such as ext4), the improvements won't be as visible because
the frequency of BH_Boundary flag being set is much smaller.

There is a kernel memory leak observed when the proc file
/proc/fs/fscache/stats is read.
The reason is that in fscache_stats_open, single_open is called and the
respective release function is not called during release. Hence fix
with correct release function - single_release().
