15 years agosignals: protect init from unwanted signals more
Oleg Nesterov [Thu, 2 Apr 2009 23:58:02 +0000 (16:58 -0700)]
signals: protect init from unwanted signals more

(This is a modified version of the patch submitted by Oleg Nesterov
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/11/18/249 and tries to address comments that
came up in that discussion)

init ignores the SIG_DFL signals but we queue them anyway, including
SIGKILL.  This is mostly OK, the signal will be dropped silently when
dequeued, but the pending SIGKILL has 2 bad implications:

        - it implies fatal_signal_pending(), so we confuse things
          like wait_for_completion_killable/lock_page_killable.

        - for the sub-namespace inits, the pending SIGKILL can
          mask (legacy_queue) the subsequent SIGKILL from the
          parent namespace which must kill cinit reliably.
          (preparation, cinits don't have SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE yet)

The patch can't help when init is ptraced, but ptracing of init is not
"safe" anyway.

15 years agosignals: remove 'handler' parameter to tracehook functions
Oleg Nesterov [Thu, 2 Apr 2009 23:58:00 +0000 (16:58 -0700)]
signals: remove 'handler' parameter to tracehook functions

Container-init must behave like global-init to processes within the
container and hence it must be immune to unhandled fatal signals from
within the container (i.e SIG_DFL signals that terminate the process).

But the same container-init must behave like a normal process to processes
in ancestor namespaces and so if it receives the same fatal signal from a
process in ancestor namespace, the signal must be processed.

Implementing these semantics requires that send_signal() determine pid
namespace of the sender but since signals can originate from workqueues/
interrupt-handlers, determining pid namespace of sender may not always be
possible or safe.

This patchset implements the design/simplified semantics suggested by
Oleg Nesterov.  The simplified semantics for container-init are:

- container-init must never be terminated by a signal from a
  descendant process.

- container-init must never be immune to SIGKILL from an ancestor
  namespace (so a process in parent namespace must always be able
  to terminate a descendant container).

- container-init may be immune to unhandled fatal signals (like
  SIGUSR1) even if they are from ancestor namespace. SIGKILL/SIGSTOP
  are the only reliable signals to a container-init from ancestor
  namespace.

This patch:

Based on an earlier patch submitted by Oleg Nesterov and comments from
Roland McGrath (http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/11/19/258).

The handler parameter is currently unused in the tracehook functions.
Besides, the tracehook functions are called with siglock held, so the
functions can check the handler if they later need to.

Removing the parameter simiplifies changes to sig_ignored() in a follow-on
patch.

15 years agodo_wait: fix waiting for the group stop with the dead leader

do_wait: fix waiting for the group stop with the dead leader

do_wait(WSTOPPED) assumes that p->state must be == TASK_STOPPED, this is
not true if the leader is already dead.  Check SIGNAL_STOP_STOPPED instead
and use signal->group_exit_code.

Trivial test-case:

void *tfunc(void *arg)
{
pause();
return NULL;
}

int main(void)
{
pthread_t thr;
pthread_create(&thr, NULL, tfunc, NULL);
pthread_exit(NULL);
return 0;
}

It doesn't react to ^Z (and then to ^C or ^\). The task is stopped, but
bash can't see this.

The bug is very old, and it was reported multiple times. This patch was sent
more than a year ago (http://marc.info/?t=119713920000003) but it was ignored.

This change also fixes other oddities (but not all) in this area.  For
example, before this patch:

$ sleep 100
^Z
[1]+  Stopped                 sleep 100
$ strace -p `pidof sleep`
Process 11442 attached - interrupt to quit

strace hangs in do_wait(), because ->exit_code was already consumed by
bash.  After this patch, strace happily proceeds:

--- SIGTSTP (Stopped) @ 0 (0) ---
restart_syscall(<... resuming interrupted call ...>

To me, this looks much more "natural" and correct.

Another example.  Let's suppose we have the main thread M and sub-thread
T, the process is stopped, and its parent did wait(WSTOPPED).  Now we can
ptrace T but not M.  This looks at least strange to me.

Imho, do_wait() should not confuse the per-thread ptrace stops with the
per-process job control stops.

cgroups: use css id in swap cgroup for saving memory v5

Try to use CSS ID for records in swap_cgroup.  By this, on 64bit machine,
size of swap_cgroup goes down to 2 bytes from 8bytes.

This means, when 2GB of swap is equipped, (assume the page size is 4096bytes)

From size of swap_cgroup = 2G/4k * 8 = 4Mbytes.
To   size of swap_cgroup = 2G/4k * 2 = 1Mbytes.

Reduction is large.  Of course, there are trade-offs.  This CSS ID will
add overhead to swap-in/swap-out/swap-free.

But in general,
  - swap is a resource which the user tend to avoid use.
  - If swap is never used, swap_cgroup area is not used.
  - Reading traditional manuals, size of swap should be proportional to
    size of memory. Memory size of machine is increasing now.

I think reducing size of swap_cgroup makes sense.

Note:
  - ID->CSS lookup routine has no locks, it's under RCU-Read-Side.
  - memcg can be obsolete at rmdir() but not freed while refcnt from

memcg: charge swapcache to proper memcg

memcg_test.txt says at 4.1:

This swap-in is one of the most complicated work. In do_swap_page(),
following events occur when pte is unchanged.

(1) the page (SwapCache) is looked up.
(2) lock_page()
(3) try_charge_swapin()
(4) reuse_swap_page() (may call delete_swap_cache())
(5) commit_charge_swapin()
(6) swap_free().

Considering following situation for example.

(A) The page has not been charged before (2) and reuse_swap_page()
    doesn't call delete_from_swap_cache().
(B) The page has not been charged before (2) and reuse_swap_page()
    calls delete_from_swap_cache().
(C) The page has been charged before (2) and reuse_swap_page() doesn't
    call delete_from_swap_cache().
(D) The page has been charged before (2) and reuse_swap_page() calls
    delete_from_swap_cache().

    memory.usage/memsw.usage changes to this page/swp_entry will be
 Case          (A)      (B)       (C)     (D)
         Event
       Before (2)     0/ 1     0/ 1      1/ 1    1/ 1
          ===========================================
          (3)        +1/+1    +1/+1     +1/+1   +1/+1
          (4)          -       0/ 0       -     -1/ 0
          (5)         0/-1     0/ 0     -1/-1    0/ 0
          (6)          -       0/-1       -      0/-1
          ===========================================
       Result         1/ 1     1/ 1      1/ 1    1/ 1

       In any cases, charges to this page should be 1/ 1.

In case of (D), mem_cgroup_try_get_from_swapcache() returns NULL
(because lookup_swap_cgroup() returns NULL), so "+1/+1" at (3) means
charges to the memcg("foo") to which the "current" belongs.
OTOH, "-1/0" at (4) and "0/-1" at (6) means uncharges from the memcg("baa")
to which the page has been charged.

So, if the "foo" and "baa" is different(for example because of task move),
this charge will be moved from "baa" to "foo".

I think this is an unexpected behavior.

This patch fixes this by modifying mem_cgroup_try_get_from_swapcache()
to return the memcg to which the swapcache has been charged if PCG_USED bit
is set.
IIUC, checking PCG_USED bit of swapcache is safe under page lock.

Now, memcg itself has OOM KILL function (in oom_kill.c) and tries to
kill a task in memcg.

But, when hierarchy is used, it's broken and correct task cannot
be killed. For example, in following cgroup

/groupA/ hierarchy=1, limit=1G,
01 nolimit
02 nolimit
All tasks' memory usage under /groupA, /groupA/01, groupA/02 is limited to

15 years agomemcg: fix shrinking memory to return -EBUSY by fixing retry algorithm

memcg: fix shrinking memory to return -EBUSY by fixing retry algorithm

As pointed out, shrinking memcg's limit should return -EBUSY after
reasonable retries.  This patch tries to fix the current behavior of
shrink_usage.

Before looking into "shrink should return -EBUSY" problem, we should fix
hierarchical reclaim code.  It compares current usage and current limit,
but it only makes sense when the kernel reclaims memory because hit
limits.  This is also a problem.

What this patch does are.

  1. add new argument "shrink" to hierarchical reclaim. If "shrink==true",
     hierarchical reclaim returns immediately and the caller checks the kernel
     should shrink more or not.
     (At shrinking memory, usage is always smaller than limit. So check for
      usage < limit is useless.)

  2. For adjusting to above change, 2 changes in "shrink"'s retry path.
     2-a. retry_count depends on # of children because the kernel visits
  the children under hierarchy one by one.
     2-b. rather than checking return value of hierarchical_reclaim's progress,
  compares usage-before-shrink and usage-after-shrink.
  If usage-before-shrink <= usage-after-shrink, retry_count is
  decremented.

cgroup: CSS ID support

Patch for Per-CSS(Cgroup Subsys State) ID and private hierarchy code.

This patch attaches unique ID to each css and provides following.

 - css_lookup(subsys, id)
   returns pointer to struct cgroup_subysys_state of id.
 - css_get_next(subsys, id, rootid, depth, foundid)
   returns the next css under "root" by scanning

When cgroup_subsys->use_id is set, an id for css is maintained.

The cgroup framework only parepares
- css_id of root css for subsys
- id is automatically attached at creation of css.
- id is *not* freed automatically. Because the cgroup framework
  don't know lifetime of cgroup_subsys_state.
  free_css_id() function is provided. This must be called by subsys.

There are several reasons to develop this.
- Saving space .... For example, memcg's swap_cgroup is array of
  pointers to cgroup. But it is not necessary to be very fast.
  By replacing pointers(8bytes per ent) to ID (2byes per ent), we can
  reduce much amount of memory usage.

- Scanning without lock.
  CSS_ID provides "scan id under this ROOT" function. By this, scanning
  css under root can be written without locks.
  ex)
  do {
rcu_read_lock();
next = cgroup_get_next(subsys, id, root, &found);
/* check sanity of next here */
css_tryget();
rcu_read_unlock();
id = found + 1
 } while(...)

Characteristics:
- Each css has unique ID under subsys.
- Lifetime of ID is controlled by subsys.
- css ID contains "ID" and "Depth in hierarchy" and stack of hierarchy
- Allowed ID is 1-65535, ID 0 is UNUSED ID.

Design Choices:
- scan-by-ID v.s. scan-by-tree-walk.
  As /proc's pid scan does, scan-by-ID is robust when scanning is done
  by following kind of routine.
  scan -> rest a while(release a lock) -> conitunue from interrupted
  memcg's hierarchical reclaim does this.

- When subsys->use_id is set, # of css in the system is limited to
  65535.

15 years agoext3: avoid false EIO errors
Jan Kara [Thu, 2 Apr 2009 23:57:17 +0000 (16:57 -0700)]
ext3: avoid false EIO errors

Sometimes block_write_begin() can map buffers in a page but later we
fail to copy data into those buffers (because the source page has been
paged out in the mean time).  We then end up with !uptodate mapped
buffers.  To add a bit more to the confusion, block_write_end() does
not commit any data (and thus does not any mark buffers as uptodate) if
we didn't succeed with copying all the data.

Commit f4fc66a894546bdc88a775d0e83ad20a65210bcb (ext3: convert to new
aops) missed these cases and thus we were inserting non-uptodate
buffers to transaction's list which confuses JBD code and it reports IO
errors, aborts a transaction and generally makes users afraid about
their data ;-P.

This patch fixes the problem by reorganizing ext3_..._write_end() code
to first call block_write_end() to mark buffers with valid data
uptodate and after that we file only uptodate buffers to transaction's
lists.

We also fix a problem where we could leave blocks allocated beyond i_size
(i_disksize in fact) because of failed write. We now add inode to orphan
list when write fails (to be safe in case we crash) and then truncate blocks
beyond i_size in a separate transaction.

ext3: return -EIO not -ESTALE on directory traversal through deleted inode

ext3_iget() returns -ESTALE if invoked on a deleted inode, in order to
report errors to NFS properly.  However, in ext[234]_lookup(), this
-ESTALE can be propagated to userspace if the filesystem is corrupted such
that a directory entry references a deleted inode.  This leads to a
misleading error message - "Stale NFS file handle" - and confusion on the
part of the admin.

The bug can be easily reproduced by creating a new filesystem, making a
link to an unused inode using debugfs, then mounting and attempting to ls
-l said link.

This patch thus changes ext3_lookup to return -EIO if it receives -ESTALE
from ext3_iget(), as ext3 does for other filesystem metadata corruption;
and also invokes the appropriate ext*_error functions when this case is

We don't actually use the table in the module, since the device doesn't
have a struct pnp_driver, but it's sufficient to cause an alias in the

15 years agowriteback: guard against jiffies wraparound on inode->dirtied_when checks (try #3)
Jeff Layton [Thu, 2 Apr 2009 23:56:37 +0000 (16:56 -0700)]
writeback: guard against jiffies wraparound on inode->dirtied_when checks (try #3)

The dirtied_when value on an inode is supposed to represent the first time
that an inode has one of its pages dirtied.  This value is in units of
jiffies.  It's used in several places in the writeback code to determine
when to write out an inode.

The problem is that these checks assume that dirtied_when is updated
periodically.  If an inode is continuously being used for I/O it can be
persistently marked as dirty and will continue to age.  Once the time
compared to is greater than or equal to half the maximum of the jiffies
type, the logic of the time_*() macros inverts and the opposite of what is
needed is returned.  On 32-bit architectures that's just under 25 days
(assuming HZ == 1000).

As the least-recently dirtied inode, it'll end up being the first one that
pdflush will try to write out.  sync_sb_inodes does this check:

/* Was this inode dirtied after sync_sb_inodes was called? */
  if (time_after(inode->dirtied_when, start))
  break;

...but now dirtied_when appears to be in the future.  sync_sb_inodes bails
out without attempting to write any dirty inodes.  When this occurs,
pdflush will stop writing out inodes for this superblock.  Nothing can
unwedge it until jiffies moves out of the problematic window.

This patch fixes this problem by changing the checks against dirtied_when
to also check whether it appears to be in the future.  If it does, then we
consider the value to be far in the past.

This should shrink the problematic window of time to such a small period
(30s) as not to matter.

[ARM] fix build-breaking 7a192ec commit

The commit:

    platform driver: fix incorrect use of 'platform_bus_type' with 'struct device_driver'

contains this:

-static int __exit pxa2xx_flash_remove(struct device *dev)

...
-       .remove         = __exit_p(pxa2xx_flash_remove),
+       .remove         = __devexit_p(pxa2xx_flash_remove),

`pxa2xx_flash_remove' referenced in section `.data' of drivers/built-in.o: defined in discarded section `.exit.text' of drivers/built-in.o

This is not the only instance of it in this patch - all __exit_p's
touched by this patch have been converted to __devexit_p's without

Let's revert this change and, if we are going to convert functions

just that change.
