Re: [Linux-stable-mirror] [PATCH] Ensure that the SCSI error handler gets woken up

by Pavel Tikhomirov

1-st, Stuart - thanks for adding me to CC, 2-nd Bart - no idea why you didn't? =) > If scsi_eh_scmd_add() is called concurrently with scsi_host_queue_ready() > while shost->host_blocked > 0 then it can happen that neither function > wakes up the SCSI error handler. Fix this by making every function that > decreases the host_busy counter to wake up the error handler if necessary. Bart, you've added a comment to my initial patch() about performance, let me quote it here: > An important achievement of the scsi-mq code was removal of all > spin_lock_irq(shost->host_lock) statements from the hot path. The above > changes will have a significant negative performance impact, especially if > multiple LUNs associated with the same SCSI host are involved. Can the > reported race be fixed without slowing down the hot path significantly? I > think that both adding spin lock or smp_mb() calls in the hot path will > have a significant negative performance impact. These was a tricky question so I had no immediate answer. Here is the one: a) We need to check if scsi_eh_wakeup needs to wake up error handler thread in every place where we change host_busy. Else we have a chance that these change will break the wake up check in other existing places and will lead to deadlock. b) If we have several variables and change them (one different variable in in different thread) and after that we want to check the joint state of these variables, we sould surely have some kind of memory barriers to have a consistent state at some point. c) We already have spinlocks in scsi_schedule_eh, scsi_eh_scmd_add and scsi_device_unbusy, so it seems the good thing to reuse them for new checks too. I don't see another way to fix these problem. Your patch puts spinlocks under check which should itself be under spinlock, and breaks the initial fix (see Stuart's comment that the problem still reproduces). And you does _not_ answer your own question. > > Reported-by: Pavel Tikhomirov <ptikhomirov@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Fixes: commit 746650160866 ("scsi: convert host_busy to atomic_t") > Signed-off-by: Bart Van Assche <bart.vanassche@xxxxxxx> As your patch is based on my initial patch (https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9938919/), when all problems will be resolved with it, can you please add here: Signed-off-by: Pavel Tikhomirov <ptikhomirov(a)virtuozzo.com> > Cc: Konstantin Khorenko <khorenko@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Cc: Stuart Hayes <stuart.w.hayes@xxxxxxxxx> > Cc: Christoph Hellwig <hch@xxxxxx> > Cc: Hannes Reinecke <hare@xxxxxxxx> > Cc: Johannes Thumshirn <jthumshirn@xxxxxxx> > Cc: <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > --- > drivers/scsi/scsi_error.c | 3 ++- > drivers/scsi/scsi_lib.c | 22 ++++++++++++++-------- > 2 files changed, 16 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/drivers/scsi/scsi_error.c b/drivers/scsi/scsi_error.c > index 5e89049e9b4e..f7f014c755d7 100644 > --- a/drivers/scsi/scsi_error.c > +++ b/drivers/scsi/scsi_error.c > @@ -61,9 +61,10 @@ static int scsi_eh_try_stu(struct scsi_cmnd *scmd); > static int scsi_try_to_abort_cmd(struct scsi_host_template *, > struct scsi_cmnd *); > > -/* called with shost->host_lock held */ > void scsi_eh_wakeup(struct Scsi_Host *shost) > { > + lockdep_assert_held(shost->host_lock); > + > if (atomic_read(&shost->host_busy) == shost->host_failed) { > trace_scsi_eh_wakeup(shost); > wake_up_process(shost->ehandler); I also think these hunk is just an additional precaution and should be in separate patch. > diff --git a/drivers/scsi/scsi_lib.c b/drivers/scsi/scsi_lib.c > index 1e05e1885ac8..abd37d77af2d 100644 > --- a/drivers/scsi/scsi_lib.c > +++ b/drivers/scsi/scsi_lib.c > @@ -318,22 +318,28 @@ static void scsi_init_cmd_errh(struct scsi_cmnd *cmd) > cmd->cmd_len = scsi_command_size(cmd->cmnd); > } > > -void scsi_device_unbusy(struct scsi_device *sdev) > +static void scsi_dec_host_busy(struct Scsi_Host *shost) > { > - struct Scsi_Host *shost = sdev->host; > - struct scsi_target *starget = scsi_target(sdev); > unsigned long flags; > > atomic_dec(&shost->host_busy); > - if (starget->can_queue > 0) > - atomic_dec(&starget->target_busy); > - > if (unlikely(scsi_host_in_recovery(shost) && > (shost->host_failed || shost->host_eh_scheduled))) { As I've wrote above you do wrong locking here in scsi_dec_host_busy.

[Linux-stable-mirror] Patch "sched/rt: Simplify the IPI based RT balancing logic" has been added to the 4.9-stable tree

by gregkh＠linuxfoundation.org

This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled sched/rt: Simplify the IPI based RT balancing logic to the 4.9-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=sum… The filename of the patch is: sched-rt-simplify-the-ipi-based-rt-balancing-logic.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.9 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable(a)vger.kernel.org> know about it. >From 4bdced5c9a2922521e325896a7bbbf0132c94e56 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Steven Rostedt (Red Hat)" <rostedt(a)goodmis.org> Date: Fri, 6 Oct 2017 14:05:04 -0400 Subject: sched/rt: Simplify the IPI based RT balancing logic From: Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) <rostedt(a)goodmis.org> commit 4bdced5c9a2922521e325896a7bbbf0132c94e56 upstream. When a CPU lowers its priority (schedules out a high priority task for a lower priority one), a check is made to see if any other CPU has overloaded RT tasks (more than one). It checks the rto_mask to determine this and if so it will request to pull one of those tasks to itself if the non running RT task is of higher priority than the new priority of the next task to run on the current CPU. When we deal with large number of CPUs, the original pull logic suffered from large lock contention on a single CPU run queue, which caused a huge latency across all CPUs. This was caused by only having one CPU having overloaded RT tasks and a bunch of other CPUs lowering their priority. To solve this issue, commit: b6366f048e0c ("sched/rt: Use IPI to trigger RT task push migration instead of pulling") changed the way to request a pull. Instead of grabbing the lock of the overloaded CPU's runqueue, it simply sent an IPI to that CPU to do the work. Although the IPI logic worked very well in removing the large latency build up, it still could suffer from a large number of IPIs being sent to a single CPU. On a 80 CPU box, I measured over 200us of processing IPIs. Worse yet, when I tested this on a 120 CPU box, with a stress test that had lots of RT tasks scheduling on all CPUs, it actually triggered the hard lockup detector! One CPU had so many IPIs sent to it, and due to the restart mechanism that is triggered when the source run queue has a priority status change, the CPU spent minutes! processing the IPIs. Thinking about this further, I realized there's no reason for each run queue to send its own IPI. As all CPUs with overloaded tasks must be scanned regardless if there's one or many CPUs lowering their priority, because there's no current way to find the CPU with the highest priority task that can schedule to one of these CPUs, there really only needs to be one IPI being sent around at a time. This greatly simplifies the code! The new approach is to have each root domain have its own irq work, as the rto_mask is per root domain. The root domain has the following fields attached to it: rto_push_work - the irq work to process each CPU set in rto_mask rto_lock - the lock to protect some of the other rto fields rto_loop_start - an atomic that keeps contention down on rto_lock the first CPU scheduling in a lower priority task is the one to kick off the process. rto_loop_next - an atomic that gets incremented for each CPU that schedules in a lower priority task. rto_loop - a variable protected by rto_lock that is used to compare against rto_loop_next rto_cpu - The cpu to send the next IPI to, also protected by the rto_lock. When a CPU schedules in a lower priority task and wants to make sure overloaded CPUs know about it. It increments the rto_loop_next. Then it atomically sets rto_loop_start with a cmpxchg. If the old value is not "0", then it is done, as another CPU is kicking off the IPI loop. If the old value is "0", then it will take the rto_lock to synchronize with a possible IPI being sent around to the overloaded CPUs. If rto_cpu is greater than or equal to nr_cpu_ids, then there's either no IPI being sent around, or one is about to finish. Then rto_cpu is set to the first CPU in rto_mask and an IPI is sent to that CPU. If there's no CPUs set in rto_mask, then there's nothing to be done. When the CPU receives the IPI, it will first try to push any RT tasks that is queued on the CPU but can't run because a higher priority RT task is currently running on that CPU. Then it takes the rto_lock and looks for the next CPU in the rto_mask. If it finds one, it simply sends an IPI to that CPU and the process continues. If there's no more CPUs in the rto_mask, then rto_loop is compared with rto_loop_next. If they match, everything is done and the process is over. If they do not match, then a CPU scheduled in a lower priority task as the IPI was being passed around, and the process needs to start again. The first CPU in rto_mask is sent the IPI. This change removes this duplication of work in the IPI logic, and greatly lowers the latency caused by the IPIs. This removed the lockup happening on the 120 CPU machine. It also simplifies the code tremendously. What else could anyone ask for? Thanks to Peter Zijlstra for simplifying the rto_loop_start atomic logic and supplying me with the rto_start_trylock() and rto_start_unlock() helper functions.

Worse yet, when I tested this on a 120 CPU box, with a stress test that had lots of RT tasks scheduling on all CPUs, it actually triggered the hard lockup detector! One CPU had so many IPIs sent to it, and due to the restart mechanism that is triggered when the source run queue has a priority status change, the CPU spent minutes! processing the IPIs. Thinking about this further, I realized there's no reason for each run queue to send its own IPI. As all CPUs with overloaded tasks must be scanned regardless if there's one or many CPUs lowering their priority, because there's no current way to find the CPU with the highest priority task that can schedule to one of these CPUs, there really only needs to be one IPI being sent around at a time. This greatly simplifies the code! The new approach is to have each root domain have its own irq work, as the rto_mask is per root domain. The root domain has the following fields attached to it: rto_push_work - the irq work to process each CPU set in rto_mask rto_lock - the lock to protect some of the other rto fields rto_loop_start - an atomic that keeps contention down on rto_lock the first CPU scheduling in a lower priority task is the one to kick off the process. rto_loop_next - an atomic that gets incremented for each CPU that schedules in a lower priority task. rto_loop - a variable protected by rto_lock that is used to compare against rto_loop_next rto_cpu - The cpu to send the next IPI to, also protected by the rto_lock. When a CPU schedules in a lower priority task and wants to make sure overloaded CPUs know about it. It increments the rto_loop_next. Then it atomically sets rto_loop_start with a cmpxchg. If the old value is not "0", then it is done, as another CPU is kicking off the IPI loop. If the old value is "0", then it will take the rto_lock to synchronize with a possible IPI being sent around to the overloaded CPUs. If rto_cpu is greater than or equal to nr_cpu_ids, then there's either no IPI being sent around, or one is about to finish. Then rto_cpu is set to the first CPU in rto_mask and an IPI is sent to that CPU. If there's no CPUs set in rto_mask, then there's nothing to be done. When the CPU receives the IPI, it will first try to push any RT tasks that is queued on the CPU but can't run because a higher priority RT task is currently running on that CPU. Then it takes the rto_lock and looks for the next CPU in the rto_mask. If it finds one, it simply sends an IPI to that CPU and the process continues. If there's no more CPUs in the rto_mask, then rto_loop is compared with rto_loop_next. If they match, everything is done and the process is over. If they do not match, then a CPU scheduled in a lower priority task as the IPI was being passed around, and the process needs to start again. The first CPU in rto_mask is sent the IPI. This change removes this duplication of work in the IPI logic, and greatly lowers the latency caused by the IPIs. This removed the lockup happening on the 120 CPU machine. It also simplifies the code tremendously. What else could anyone ask for?

It checks the rto_mask to determine this and if so it will request to pull one of those tasks to itself if the non running RT task is of higher priority than the new priority of the next task to run on the current CPU. When we deal with large number of CPUs, the original pull logic suffered from large lock contention on a single CPU run queue, which caused a huge latency across all CPUs. This was caused by only having one CPU having overloaded RT tasks and a bunch of other CPUs lowering their priority. To solve this issue, commit: b6366f048e0c ("sched/rt: Use IPI to trigger RT task push migration instead of pulling") changed the way to request a pull. Instead of grabbing the lock of the overloaded CPU's runqueue, it simply sent an IPI to that CPU to do the work. Although the IPI logic worked very well in removing the large latency build up, it still could suffer from a large number of IPIs being sent to a single CPU. On a 80 CPU box, I measured over 200us of processing IPIs. Worse yet, when I tested this on a 120 CPU box, with a stress test that had lots of RT tasks scheduling on all CPUs, it actually triggered the hard lockup detector!

Unfortunatelly madvise_willneed() doesn't communicate this information properly to the generic madvise syscall implementation. The calling convention is quite subtle there. madvise_vma() is supposed to either return an error or update &prev otherwise the main loop will never advance to the next vma and it will keep looping for ever without a way to get out of the kernel. It seems this has been broken since introduction. Nobody has noticed because nobody seems to be using MADVISE_WILLNEED on these DAX mappings.

[Linux-stable-mirror] [PATCH 4.1] fscrypt: lock mutex before checking for bounce page pool

by Eric Biggers

commit a0b3bc855374c50b5ea85273553485af48caf2f7 upstream. [Please apply to 4.1-stable.] fscrypt_initialize(), which allocates the global bounce page pool when an encrypted file is first accessed, uses "double-checked locking" to try to avoid locking fscrypt_init_mutex. However, it doesn't use any memory barriers, so it's theoretically possible for a thread to observe a bounce page pool which has not been fully initialized. This is a classic bug with "double-checked locking". While "only a theoretical issue" in the latest kernel, in pre-4.8 kernels the pointer that was checked was not even the last to be initialized, so it was easily possible for a crash (NULL pointer dereference) to happen. This was changed only incidentally by the large refactor to use fs/crypto/. Solve both problems in a trivial way that can easily be backported: just always take the mutex. It's theoretically less efficient, but it shouldn't be noticeable in practice as the mutex is only acquired very briefly once per encrypted file. Later I'd like to make this use a helper macro like DO_ONCE(). However, DO_ONCE() runs in atomic context, so we'd need to add a new macro that allows blocking.

[Linux-stable-mirror] [PATCH] eeprom: at24: fix the magic value for at24mac402

by Bartosz Golaszewski

There's an ilog2() expansion in AT24_DEVICE_MAGIC() which rounds down the actual size of EUI-48 byte array in at24mac402 eeproms to 4 from 6, making it impossible to read it all. Fix it by creating the magic value manually with the correct size. This patch contains a temporary fix that is suitable for stable branches. Eventually we'll probably remove the call to ilog2() while converting the magic values to actual structs. This fix will cause a warning message to be emitted by probe() for at24mac402 chips but theys should be initialized correctly anyway.
