de_thread() sends SIGKILL to all sub-threads and waits them to die in 'D' state. It is possible that one of the threads already dequeued coredump signal. When de_thread() unlocks ->sighand->lock that thread can enter do_coredump()->coredump_wait() and cause a deadlock. Signed-off-by:

Back about a year ago when I last fiddled heavily with the do_wait code, I was thinking too hard about the wrong thing and I now think I introduced a bug whose inverse thought I was fixing. Apparently noone was looking too hard over much shoulder, so as to cite my bogus reasoning at the time. In the race condition when PTRACE_ATTACH is about to steal a child and then the child hits a tracing event (what my_ptrace_child checks for), the real parent does need to set its flag noting it has some eligible live children. Otherwise a spurious ECHILD error is possible, since the child in question is not yet on the ptrace_children list. Signed-off-by:

I noticed some problems while running ext3 with the debug flag set on. More precisely, I was unable to umount the filesystem. Some investigation took me to the patch that follows. At a first glance , the lock/unlock I've taken out seems really not necessary, as the main code (outside debug) does not lock the super. The only additional danger operations that debug code introduces seems to be related to bitmap, but bitmap operations tends to be all atomic anyway. I also took the opportunity to fix 2 spelling errors. Signed-off-by:

The attached patch adds LSM hooks for key management facilities. The notable changes are: (1) The key struct now supports a security pointer for the use of security modules. This will permit key labelling and restrictions on which programs may access a key. (2) Security modules get a chance to note (or abort) the allocation of a key. (3) The key permission checking can now be enhanced by the security modules; the permissions check consults LSM if all other checks bear out. (4) The key permissions checking functions now return an error code rather than a boolean value. (5) An extra permission has been added to govern the modification of attributes (UID, GID, permissions). Note that there isn't an LSM hook specifically for each keyctl() operation, but rather the permissions hook allows control of individual operations based on the permission request bits. Key management access control through LSM is enabled by automatically if both CONFIG_KEYS and CONFIG_SECURITY are enabled.

When __generic_file_aio_read() hits an error during reading, it reports the error iff nothing has successfully been read yet. This is condition - when an error occurs, if nothing has been read/written, report the error code; otherwise, report the amount of bytes successfully transferred upto that point. This corner case can be exposed by performing readv(2) with the following iov. iov[0] = len0 @ ptr0 iov[1] = len1 @ NULL (or any other invalid pointer) iov[2] = len2 @ ptr2 When file size is enough, performing above readv(2) results in len0 bytes from file_pos @ ptr0 len2 bytes from file_pos + len0 @ ptr2 And the return value is len0 + len2. Test program is attached to this mail. This patch makes __generic_file_aio_read()'s error handling identical to other functions. #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/stat.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <sys/uio.h> #include <errno.h> #include <string.h> int main(int argc, char **argv) { const char *path; struct stat stbuf; size_t len0, len1; void *buf0, *buf1; struct iovec iov[3]; int fd, i; ssize_t ret; if (argc < 2) { fprintf(stderr, "Usage: testreadv path (better be a " "small text file)\n"); return 1; } path = argv[1]; if (stat(path, &stbuf) < 0) { perror("stat"); return 1; } len0 = stbuf.st_size / 2; len1 = stbuf.st_size - len0; if (!len0 || !len1) { fprintf(stderr, "Dude, file is too small\n"); return 1; } if ((fd = open(path, O_RDONLY)) < 0) { perror("open"); return 1; } if (!(buf0 = malloc(len0)) || !(buf1 = malloc(len1))) { perror("malloc"); return 1; } memset(buf0, 0, len0); memset(buf1, 0, len1); iov[0].iov_base = buf0; iov[0].iov_len = len0; iov[1].iov_base = NULL; iov[1].iov_len = len1; iov[2].iov_base = buf1; iov[2].iov_len = len1; printf("vector "); for (i = 0; i < 3; i++) printf("%p:%zu ", iov[i].iov_base, iov[i].iov_len); printf("\n"); ret = readv(fd, iov, 3); if (ret < 0) perror("readv"); printf("readv returned %zd\nbuf0 = [%s]\nbuf1 = [%s]\n", ret, (char *)buf0, (char *)buf1); return 0; } Signed-off-by: -

I could seldom reproduce a deadlock with a task not killable in T state (TASK_STOPPED, not TASK_TRACED) by attaching a NPTL threaded program to gdb, by segfaulting the task and triggering a core dump while some other task is executing exit_group and while one task is in ptrace_attached TASK_STOPPED state (not TASK_TRACED yet). This originated from a gdb bugreport (the fact gdb was segfaulting the task wasn't a kernel bug), but I just incidentally noticed the gdb bug triggered a real kernel bug as well. Most threads hangs in exit_mm because the core_dumping is still going, the core dumping hangs because the stopped task doesn't exit, the stopped task can't wakeup because it has SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT set, hence the deadlock. To me it seems that the problem is that the force_sig_specific(SIGKILL) in zap_threads is a noop if the task has PF_PTRACED set (like in this case because gdb is attached). The __ptrace_unlink does nothing because the signal->flags is set to SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT|SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED (verified). The above info also shows that the stopped task hit a race and got the stop signal (presumably by the ptrace_attach, only the attach, state is still TASK_STOPPED and gdb hangs waiting the core before it can set it to TASK_TRACED) after one of the thread invoked the core dump (it's the core dump that sets signal->flags to SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT). So beside the fact nobody would wakeup the task in __ptrace_unlink (the state is _not_ TASK_TRACED), there's a secondary problem in the signal handling code, where a task should ignore the ptrace-sigstops as long as SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT is set (or the wakeup in __ptrace_unlink path wouldn't be enough). So I attempted to make this patch that seems to fix the problem. There were various ways to fix it, perhaps you prefer a different one, I just opted to the one that looked safer to me. I also removed the clearing of the stopped bits from the zap_other_threads (zap_other_threads was safe unlike zap_threads). I don't like useless code, this whole NPTL signal/ptrace thing is already unreadable enough and full of corner cases without confusing useless code into it to make it even less readable. And if this code is really needed, then you may want to explain why it's not being done in the other paths that sets SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT at least. Even after this patch I still wonder who serializes the read of p->ptrace in zap_threads. Patch is called ptrace-core_dump-exit_group-deadlock-1.

This patch automatically updates a tasks NUMA mempolicy when its cpuset memory placement changes. It does so within the context of the task, without any need to support low level external mempolicy manipulation. If a system is not using cpusets, or if running on a system with just the root (all-encompassing) cpuset, then this remap is a no-op. Only when a task is moved between cpusets, or a cpusets memory placement is changed does the following apply. Otherwise, the main routine below, rebind_policy() is not even called. When mixing cpusets, scheduler affinity, and NUMA mempolicies, the essential role of cpusets is to place jobs (several related tasks) on a set of CPUs and Memory Nodes, the essential role of sched_setaffinity is to manage a jobs processor placement within its allowed cpuset, and the essential role of NUMA mempolicy (mbind, set_mempolicy) is to manage a jobs memory placement within its allowed cpuset. However, CPU affinity and NUMA memory placement are managed within the kernel using absolute system wide numbering, not cpuset relative numbering. This is ok until a job is migrated to a different cpuset, or what's the same, a jobs cpuset is moved to different CPUs and Memory Nodes. Then the CPU affinity and NUMA memory placement of the tasks in the job need to be updated, to preserve their cpuset-relative position. This can be done for CPU affinity using sched_setaffinity() from user code, as one task can modify anothers CPU affinity. This cannot be done from an external task for NUMA memory placement, as that can only be modified in the context of the task using it. However, it easy enough to remap a tasks NUMA mempolicy automatically when a task is migrated, using the existing cpuset mechanism to trigger a refresh of a tasks memory placement after its cpuset has changed. All that is needed is the old and new nodemask, and notice to the task that it needs to rebind its mempolicy. The tasks mems_allowed has the old mask, the tasks cpuset has the new mask, and the existing cpuset_update_current_mems_allowed() mechanism provides the notice. The bitmap/cpumask/nodemask remap operators provide the cpuset relative calculations. This patch leaves open a couple of issues: 1) Updating vma and shmfs/tmpfs/hugetlbfs memory policies: These mempolicies may reference nodes outside of those allowed to the current task by its cpuset. Tasks are migrated as part of jobs, which reside on what might be several cpusets in a subtree. When such a job is migrated, all NUMA memory policy references to nodes within that cpuset subtree should be translated, and references to any nodes outside that subtree should be left untouched. A future patch will provide the cpuset mechanism needed to mark such subtrees. With that patch, we will be able to correctly migrate these other memory policies across a job migration. 2) Updating cpuset, affinity and memory policies in user space: This is harder. Any placement state stored in user space using system-wide numbering will be invalidated across a migration. More work will be required to provide user code with a migration-safe means to manage its cpuset relative placement, while preserving the current API's that pass system wide numbers, not cpuset relative numbers across the kernel-user boundary.

In the forthcoming task migration support, a key calculation will be mapping cpu and node numbers from the old set to the new set while preserving cpuset-relative offset. For example, if a task and its pages on nodes 8-11 are being migrated to nodes 24-27, then pages on node 9 (the 2nd node in the old set) should be moved to node 25 (the 2nd node in the new set.) As with other bitmap operations, the proper way to code this is to provide the underlying calculation in lib/bitmap.c, and then to provide the usual cpumask and nodemask wrappers. This patch provides that. These operations are termed 'remap' operations. Both remapping a single bit and a set of bits is supported. Signed-off-by:

This patch keeps pdflush daemons on the same cpuset as their parent, the kthread daemon. Some large NUMA configurations put as much as they can of kernel threads and other classic Unix load in what's called a bootcpuset, keeping the rest of the system free for dedicated jobs. This effort is thwarted by pdflush, which dynamically destroys and recreates pdflush daemons depending on load. It's easy enough to force the originally created pdflush deamons into the bootcpuset, at system boottime. But the pdflush threads created later were allowed to run freely across the system, due to the necessary line in their startup kthread(): set_cpus_allowed(current, CPU_MASK_ALL); By simply coding pdflush to start its threads with the cpus_allowed restrictions of its cpuset (inherited from kthread, its parent) we can ensure that dynamically created pdflush threads are also kept in the bootcpuset. On systems w/o cpusets, or w/o a bootcpuset implementation, the following will have no affect, leaving pdflush to run on any CPU, as before. Signed-off-by: -

Add support for renaming cpusets. Only allow simple rename of cpuset directories in place. Don't allow moving cpusets elsewhere in hierarchy or renaming the special cpuset files in each cpuset directory. The usefulness of this simple rename became apparent when developing task migration facilities. It allows building a second cpuset hierarchy using new names and containing new CPUs and Memory Nodes, moving tasks from the old to the new cpusets, removing the old cpusets, and then renaming the new cpusets to be just like the old names, so that any knowledge that the tasks had of their cpuset names will still be valid. Leaf node cpusets can be migrated to other CPUs or Memory Nodes by just updating their 'cpus' and 'mems' files, but because no cpuset can contain CPUs or Nodes not in its parent cpuset, one cannot do this in a cpuset hierarchy without first expanding all the non-leaf cpusets to contain the union of both the old and new CPUs and Nodes, which would obfuscate the one-to-one migration of a task from one cpuset to another required to correctly migrate the physical page frames currently allocated to that task.

Overhaul cpuset locking. Replace single semaphore with two semaphores. The suggestion to use two locks was made by Roman Zippel. Both locks are global. Code that wants to modify cpusets must first acquire the exclusive manage_sem, which allows them read-only access to cpusets, and holds off other would-be modifiers. Before making actual changes, the second semaphore, callback_sem must be acquired as well. Code that needs only to query cpusets must acquire callback_sem, which is also a global exclusive lock. The earlier problems with double tripping are avoided, because it is allowed for holders of manage_sem to nest the second callback_sem lock, and only callback_sem is needed by code called from within __alloc_pages(), where the double tripping had been possible. This is not quite the same as a normal read/write semaphore, because obtaining read-only access with intent to change must hold off other such attempts, while allowing read-only access w/o such intention. Changing cpusets involves several related checks and changes, which must be done while allowing read-only queries (to avoid the double trip), but while ensuring nothing changes (holding off other would be modifiers.) This overhaul of cpuset locking also makes careful use of task_lock() to guard access to the task->cpuset pointer, closing a couple of race conditions noticed while reading this code (thanks, Roman). I've never seen these races fail in any use or test. See further the comments in the code. Signed-off-by:

Remove a rather hackish depth counter on cpuset locking. The depth counter was avoiding a possible double trip on the global cpuset_sem semaphore. It worked, but now an improved version of cpuset locking is available, to come in the next patch, using two global semaphores. This patch reverses "cpuset semaphore depth check deadlock fix" The kernel still works, even after this patch, except for some rare and difficult to reproduce race conditions when agressively creating and destroying cpusets marked with the notify_on_release option, on very large systems.

There are still unresolved known bugs in proc yet to be fixed: - proc_dir_entry tree is managed without any serialization - create_proc_entry() doesn't setup de->owner anyhow, so setting it later manually is inatomic. - looks like almost all modules do not care whether it's de->owner is set...

Make the pid argument a long as on every other arcihtecture. Despite pid_t beeing a 32bit type even on 64bit parisc this is not an ABI change due to the parisc calling conventions. And even if it did it wouldn't matter too much because 64bit userspace on parisc is in an embrionic stage. Acked-by:

Add a kconfig submenu to select the default I/O scheduler, in case anticipatory is not compiled in or another default is preferred. Also, since no-op is always available, we should use it whenever the selected default is not. Signed-off-by:

The majority of the sys_tkill() and sys_tgkill() function code is duplicated between the two of them. This patch pulls the duplication out into a separate function -- do_tkill() -- and lets sys_tkill() and sys_tgkill() be simple wrappers around it. This should make it easier to maintain in light of future changes. Signed-off-by:
