Commit 71d29f43b6 ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Don't use compound_order to
determine host mapping size", 2018-09-11) added a call to
__find_linux_pte() and a dereference of the returned PTE pointer to the
radix page fault path in the common case where the page is normal
system memory. Previously, __find_linux_pte() was only called for
mappings to physical addresses which don't have a page struct (e.g.
memory-mapped I/O) or where the page struct is marked as reserved
memory.
This exposes us to the possibility that the returned PTE pointer
could be NULL, for example in the case of a concurrent THP collapse
operation. Dereferencing the returned NULL pointer causes a host
crash.
To fix this, we check for NULL, and if it is NULL, we retry the
operation by returning to the guest, with the expectation that it
will generate the same page fault again (unless of course it has
been fixed up by another CPU in the meantime).

The final call to zlib_deflate(Z_FINISH) may require more output

The event subscriptions are added to the subscribed event list while
holding a spinlock, but that lock is subsequently released while still
accessing the subscription object. This makes it possible to unsubscribe
the event --- and freeing the subscription object's memory --- while
the subscription object is simultaneously accessed.
Prevent this by adding a mutex to serialise the event subscription and
unsubscription. This also gives a guarantee to the callback ops that the
add op has returned before the del op is called.
This change also results in making the elems field less special:
subscriptions are only added to the event list once they are fully
initialised.

If CONFIG_WW_MUTEX_SELFTEST=y is enabled, booting an image

traceback if 8 CPUs are enabled:
DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(__owner_task(owner) != current)
WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 537 at kernel/locking/mutex.c:1033 __mutex_unlock_slowpath+0x1a8/0x2e0

If requesting b_mutex fails with -EDEADLK, the error variable
is reassigned to the return value from calling ww_mutex_lock
on a_mutex again. If this call fails, a_mutex is not locked.
It is, however, unconditionally unlocked subsequently, causing
the reported warning. Fix the problem by using two error variables.
With this change, the selftest still fails as follows:
cyclic deadlock not resolved, ret[7/8] = -35

The AON_PM_L2 is normally used to trigger and identify the source of a
wake-up event. Since the RX_SYS clock is no longer turned off, we also
have an interrupt being sent to the SYSTEMPORT INTRL_2_0 controller, and
that interrupt remains active up until the magic packet detector is
disabled which happens much later during the driver resumption.
The race happens if we have a CPU that is entering the SYSTEMPORT
INTRL2_0 handler during resume, and another CPU has managed to clear the
wake-up interrupt during bcm_sysport_resume_from_wol(). In that case, we
have the first CPU stuck in the interrupt handler with an interrupt
cause that has been cleared under its feet, and so we keep returning
IRQ_NONE and we never make any progress.
This was not a problem before because we would always turn off the
RX_SYS clock during WoL, so the SYSTEMPORT INTRL2_0 would also be turned
off as well, thus not latching the interrupt.
The fix is to make sure we do not enable either the MPD or
BRCM_TAG_MATCH interrupts since those are redundant with what the
AON_PM_L2 interrupt controller already processes and they would cause
such a race to occur.

For compounded PDUs we whould only wake the waiting thread for the
very last PDU of the compound.
We do this so that we are guaranteed that the demultiplex_thread will
not process or access any of those MIDs any more once the send/recv
thread starts processing.
Else there is a race where at the end of the send/recv processing we
will try to delete all the mids of the compound. If the multiplex
thread still has other mids to process at this point for this compound
this can lead to an oops.

When mounting a Windows share that is the root of a drive (eg. C$)
the server does not return . and .. directory entries. This results in
the smb2 code path erroneously skipping the 2 first entries.
Pseudo-code of the readdir() code path:
cifs_readdir(struct file, struct dir_context)
initiate_cifs_search <-- if no reponse cached yet
server->ops->query_dir_first
dir_emit_dots
dir_emit <-- adds "." and ".." if we're at pos=0
find_cifs_entry
initiate_cifs_search <-- if pos < start of current response
(restart search)
server->ops->query_dir_next <-- if pos > end of current response
(fetch next search res)
for(...) <-- loops over cur response entries
starting at pos
cifs_filldir <-- skip . and .., emit entry
cifs_fill_dirent
dir_emit
pos++
A) dir_emit_dots() always adds . & ..
and sets the current dir pos to 2 (0 and 1 are done).
Therefore we always want the index_to_find to be 2 regardless of if
the response has . and ..
B) smb1 code initializes index_of_last_entry with a +2 offset
in cifssmb.c CIFSFindFirst():
psrch_inf->index_of_last_entry = 2 /* skip . and .. */ +
psrch_inf->entries_in_buffer;
Later in find_cifs_entry() we want to find the next dir entry at pos=2
as a result of (A)
first_entry_in_buffer = cfile->srch_inf.index_of_last_entry -
cfile->srch_inf.entries_in_buffer;
This var is the dir pos that the first entry in the buffer will
have therefore it must be 2 in the first call.
If we don't offset index_of_last_entry by 2 (like in (B)),
first_entry_in_buffer=0 but we were instructed to get pos=2 so this
code in find_cifs_entry() skips the 2 first which is ok for non-root
shares, as it skips . and .. from the response but is not ok for root
shares where the 2 first are actual files
pos_in_buf = index_to_find - first_entry_in_buffer;
// pos_in_buf=2
// we skip 2 first response entries :(
for (i = 0; (i < (pos_in_buf)) && (cur_ent != NULL); i++) {
/* go entry by entry figuring out which is first */
cur_ent = nxt_dir_entry(cur_ent, end_of_smb,
cfile->srch_inf.info_level);
}
C) cifs_filldir() skips . and .. so we can safely ignore them for now.
Sample program:
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
const char *path = argc >= 2 ? argv[1] : ".";
DIR *dh;
struct dirent *de;
printf("listing path <%s>\n", path);
dh = opendir(path);
if (!dh) {
printf("opendir error %d\n", errno);
return 1;
}
while (1) {
de = readdir(dh);
if (!de) {
if (errno) {
printf("readdir error %d\n", errno);
return 1;
}
printf("end of listing\n");
break;
}
printf("off=%lu <%s>\n", de->d_off, de->d_name);
}
return 0;
}
Before the fix with SMB1 on root shares:
<.> off=1
<..> off=2
<$Recycle.Bin> off=3
<bootmgr> off=4
and on non-root shares:
<.> off=1
<..> off=4 <-- after adding .., the offsets jumps to +2 because
<2536> off=5 we skipped . and .. from response buffer (C)
<411> off=6 but still incremented pos
<file> off=7
<fsx> off=8
Therefore the fix for smb2 is to mimic smb1 behaviour and offset the
index_of_last_entry by 2.
Test results comparing smb1 and smb2 before/after the fix on root
share, non-root shares and on large directories (ie. multi-response
dir listing):

The recent rework of the TSC calibration code introduced a regression on UV
systems as it added a call to tsc_early_init() which initializes the TSC
ADJUST values before acpi_boot_table_init(). In the case of UV systems,
that is a necessary step that calls uv_system_init(). This informs
tsc_sanitize_first_cpu() that the kernel runs on a platform with async TSC
resets as documented in commit 341102c3ef ("x86/tsc: Add option that TSC
on Socket 0 being non-zero is valid")
Fix it by skipping the early tsc initialization on UV systems and let TSC

ICM sends device connected event for each and those are put to tb->wq
for later processing. Now if the driver gets unloaded in the middle, so
that the work queue is not yet empty it gets flushed by tb_domain_stop().
However, by that time the root switch is already removed so the driver

Automatic NUMA Balancing uses a multi-stage pass to decide whether a page
should migrate to a local node. This filter avoids excessive ping-ponging
if a page is shared or used by threads that migrate cross-node frequently.
Threads inherit both page tables and the preferred node ID from the
parent. This means that threads can trigger hinting faults earlier than
a new task which delays scanning for a number of seconds. As it can be
load balanced very early in its lifetime there can be an unnecessary delay
before it starts migrating thread-local data. This patch migrates private
pages faster early in the lifetime of a thread using the sequence counter
as an identifier of new tasks.
With this patch applied, STREAM performance is the same as 4.17 even though
processes are not spread cross-node prematurely. Other workloads showed
a mix of minor gains and losses. This is somewhat expected most workloads
are not very sensitive to the starting conditions of a process.

Rate limiting of page migrations due to automatic NUMA balancing was
introduced to mitigate the worst-case scenario of migrating at high
frequency due to false sharing or slowly ping-ponging between nodes.
Since then, a lot of effort was spent on correctly identifying these
pages and avoiding unnecessary migrations and the safety net may no longer
be required.
Jirka Hladky reported a regression in 4.17 due to a scheduler patch that
avoids spreading STREAM tasks wide prematurely. However, once the task
was properly placed, it delayed migrating the memory due to rate limiting.
Increasing the limit fixed the problem for him.
Currently, the limit is hard-coded and does not account for the real
capabilities of the hardware. Even if an estimate was attempted, it would
not properly account for the number of memory controllers and it could
not account for the amount of bandwidth used for normal accesses. Rather
than fudging, this patch simply eliminates the rate limiting.
However, Jirka reports that a STREAM configuration using multiple
processes achieved similar performance to 4.16. In local tests, this patch
improved performance of STREAM relative to the baseline but it is somewhat
machine-dependent. Most workloads show little or not performance difference
implying that there is not a heavily reliance on the throttling mechanism
and it is safe to remove.
