      revert "procfs: provide stack information for threads" and its fixup commits · 34441427
      Robin Holt authored 
      Originally, commit d899bf7b ("procfs: provide stack information for
threads") attempted to introduce a new feature for showing where the
threadstack was located and how many pages are being utilized by the
stack.

Commit c44972f1 ("procfs: disable per-task stack usage on NOMMU") was
applied to fix the NO_MMU case.

Commit 89240ba0 ("x86, fs: Fix x86 procfs stack information for threads on
64-bit") was applied to fix a bug in ia32 executables being loaded.

Commit 9ebd4eba ("procfs: fix /proc/<pid>/stat stack pointer for kernel
threads") was applied to fix a bug which had kernel threads printing a
userland stack address.

Commit 1306d603 ('proc: partially revert "procfs: provide stack
information for threads"') was then applied to revert the stack pages
being used to solve a significant performance regression.

This patch nearly undoes the effect of all these patches.

The reason for reverting these is it provides an unusable value in
field 28.  For x86_64, a fork will result in the task->stack_start
value being updated to the current user top of stack and not the stack
start address.  This unpredictability of the stack_start value makes
it worthless.  That includes the intended use of showing how much stack
space a thread has.

Other architectures will get different values.  As an example, ia64
gets 0.  The do_fork() and copy_process() functions appear to treat the
stack_start and stack_size parameters as architecture specific.

I only partially reverted c44972f1 ("procfs: disable per-task stack usage
on NOMMU") .  If I had completely reverted it, I would have had to change
mm/Makefile only build pagewalk.o when CONFIG_PROC_PAGE_MONITOR is
configured.  Since I could not test the builds without significant effort,
I decided to not change mm/Makefile.

I only partially reverted 89240ba0 ("x86, fs: Fix x86 procfs stack
information for threads on 64-bit") .  I left the KSTK_ESP() change in
place as that seemed worthwhile.

      CacheFiles: Fix occasional EIO on call to vfs_unlink() · c61ea31d
      David Howells authored 
      Fix an occasional EIO returned by a call to vfs_unlink():

	[ 4868.465413] CacheFiles: I/O Error: Unlink failed
	[ 4868.465444] FS-Cache: Cache cachefiles stopped due to I/O error
	[ 4947.320011] CacheFiles: File cache on md3 unregistering
	[ 4947.320041] FS-Cache: Withdrawing cache "mycache"
	[ 5127.348683] FS-Cache: Cache "mycache" added (type cachefiles)
	[ 5127.348716] CacheFiles: File cache on md3 registered
	[ 7076.871081] CacheFiles: I/O Error: Unlink failed
	[ 7076.871130] FS-Cache: Cache cachefiles stopped due to I/O error
	[ 7116.780891] CacheFiles: File cache on md3 unregistering
	[ 7116.780937] FS-Cache: Withdrawing cache "mycache"
	[ 7296.813394] FS-Cache: Cache "mycache" added (type cachefiles)
	[ 7296.813432] CacheFiles: File cache on md3 registered

What happens is this:

 (1) A cached NFS file is seen to have become out of date, so NFS retires the
     object and immediately acquires a new object with the same key.

 (2) Retirement of the old object is done asynchronously - so the lookup/create
     to generate the new object may be done first.

     This can be a problem as the old object and the new object must exist at
     the same point in the backing filesystem (i.e. they must have the same
     pathname).

 (3) The lookup for the new object sees that a backing file already exists,
     checks to see whether it is valid and sees that it isn't.  It then deletes
     that file and creates a new one on disk.

 (4) The retirement phase for the old file is then performed.  It tries to
     delete the dentry it has, but ext4_unlink() returns -EIO because the inode
     attached to that dentry no longer matches the inode number associated with
     the filename in the parent directory.

The trace below shows this quite well.

	[md5sum] ==> __fscache_relinquish_cookie(ffff88002d12fb58{NFS.fh,ffff88002ce62100},1)
	[md5sum] ==> __fscache_acquire_cookie({NFS.server},{NFS.fh},ffff88002ce62100)

NFS has retired the old cookie and asked for a new one.

	[kslowd] ==> fscache_object_state_machine({OBJ52,OBJECT_ACTIVE,24})
	[kslowd] <== fscache_object_state_machine() [->OBJECT_DYING]
	[kslowd] ==> fscache_object_state_machine({OBJ53,OBJECT_INIT,0})
	[kslowd] <== fscache_object_state_machine() [->OBJECT_LOOKING_UP]
	[kslowd] ==> fscache_object_state_machine({OBJ52,OBJECT_DYING,24})
	[kslowd] <== fscache_object_state_machine() [->OBJECT_RECYCLING]

The old object (OBJ52) is going through the terminal states to get rid of it,
whilst the new object - (OBJ53) - is coming into being.

	[kslowd] ==> fscache_object_state_machine({OBJ53,OBJECT_LOOKING_UP,0})
	[kslowd] ==> cachefiles_walk_to_object({ffff88003029d8b8},OBJ53,@68,)
	[kslowd] lookup '@68'
	[kslowd] next -> ffff88002ce41bd0 positive
	[kslowd] advance
	[kslowd] lookup 'Es0g00og0_Nd_XCYe3BOzvXrsBLMlN6aw16M1htaA'
	[kslowd] next -> ffff8800369faac8 positive

The new object has looked up the subdir in which the file would be in (getting
dentry ffff88002ce41bd0) and then looked up the file itself (getting dentry
ffff8800369faac8).

	[kslowd] validate 'Es0g00og0_Nd_XCYe3BOzvXrsBLMlN6aw16M1htaA'
	[kslowd] ==> cachefiles_bury_object(,'@68','Es0g00og0_Nd_XCYe3BOzvXrsBLMlN6aw16M1htaA')
	[kslowd] remove ffff8800369faac8 from ffff88002ce41bd0
	[kslowd] unlink stale object
	[kslowd] <== cachefiles_bury_object() = 0

It then checks the file's xattrs to see if it's valid.  NFS says that the
auxiliary data indicate the file is out of date (obvious to us - that's why NFS
ditched the old version and got a new one).  CacheFiles then deletes the old
file (dentry ffff8800369faac8).

	[kslowd] redo lookup
	[kslowd] lookup 'Es0g00og0_Nd_XCYe3BOzvXrsBLMlN6aw16M1htaA'
	[kslowd] next -> ffff88002cd94288 negative
	[kslowd] create -> ffff88002cd94288{ffff88002cdaf238{ino=148247}}

CacheFiles then redoes the lookup and gets a negative result in a new dentry
(ffff88002cd94288) which it then creates a file for.

	[kslowd] ==> cachefiles_mark_object_active(,OBJ53)
	[kslowd] <== cachefiles_mark_object_active() = 0
	[kslowd] === OBTAINED_OBJECT ===
	[kslowd] <== cachefiles_walk_to_object() = 0 [148247]
	[kslowd] <== fscache_object_state_machine() [->OBJECT_AVAILABLE]

The new object is then marked active and the state machine moves to the
available state - at which point NFS can start filling the object.

	[kslowd] ==> fscache_object_state_machine({OBJ52,OBJECT_RECYCLING,20})
	[kslowd] ==> fscache_release_object()
	[kslowd] ==> cachefiles_drop_object({OBJ52,2})
	[kslowd] ==> cachefiles_delete_object(,OBJ52{ffff8800369faac8})

The old object, meanwhile, goes on with being retired.  If allocation occurs
first, cachefiles_delete_object() has to wait for dir->d_inode->i_mutex to
become available before it can continue.

	[kslowd] ==> cachefiles_bury_object(,'@68','Es0g00og0_Nd_XCYe3BOzvXrsBLMlN6aw16M1htaA')
	[kslowd] remove ffff8800369faac8 from ffff88002ce41bd0
	[kslowd] unlink stale object
	EXT4-fs warning (device sda6): ext4_unlink: Inode number mismatch in unlink (148247!=148193)
	CacheFiles: I/O Error: Unlink failed
	FS-Cache: Cache cachefiles stopped due to I/O error

CacheFiles then tries to delete the file for the old object, but the dentry it
has (ffff8800369faac8) no longer points to a valid inode for that directory
entry, and so ext4_unlink() returns -EIO when de->inode does not match i_ino.

	[kslowd] <== cachefiles_bury_object() = -5
	[kslowd] <== cachefiles_delete_object() = -5
	[kslowd] <== fscache_object_state_machine() [->OBJECT_DEAD]
	[kslowd] ==> fscache_object_state_machine({OBJ53,OBJECT_AVAILABLE,0})
	[kslowd] <== fscache_object_state_machine() [->OBJECT_ACTIVE]

(Note that the above trace includes extra information beyond that produced by
the upstream code).

The fix is to note when an object that is being retired has had its object
deleted preemptively by a replacement object that is being created, and to
skip the second removal attempt in such a case.

      drm/radeon: Fix 3 regressions - since buffer rework · c9ff04c9
      Jean Delvare authored 
      Commit b4fe9454 introduced 3 bugs,
fix them:

* Use the right command dword for second packet offset in
  RADEON_CNTL_PAINT/BITBLT_MULTI.
* Don't leak memory if drm_buffer_copy_from_user() fails.
* Don't call drm_buffer_unprocessed() unless drm_buffer_alloc() and
  drm_buffer_copy_from_user() have been called successfully first.
