[PATCH 4.18] Revert "mm: slowly shrink slabs with a relatively small number of objects"

by Sasha Levin

This reverts commit 62aad93f09c1952ede86405894df1b22012fd5ab. Which was upstream commit 172b06c32b94 ("mm: slowly shrink slabs with a relatively small number of objects"). The upstream commit was found to cause regressions. While there is a proposed fix upstream, revent this patch from stable trees for now as testing the fix will take some time.

[PATCH v4.14-stable] sch_netem: restore skb->dev after dequeuing from the rbtree

by Christoph Paasch

Upstream commit bffa72cf7f9d ("net: sk_buff rbnode reorg") got backported as commit 6b921536f170 ("net: sk_buff rbnode reorg") into the v4.14.x-tree. However, the backport does not include the changes in sch_netem.c We need these, as otherwise the skb->dev pointer is not set when dequeueing from the netem rbtree, resulting in a panic: [ 15.427748] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 00000000000000d0 [ 15.428863] IP: netif_skb_features+0x24/0x230 [ 15.429402] PGD 0 P4D 0 [ 15.429733] Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP PTI [ 15.430169] Modules linked in: [ 15.430614] CPU: 3 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/3 Not tainted 4.14.77.mptcp #77 [ 15.431497] Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 0.5.1 01/01/2011 [ 15.432568] task: ffff88042db19680 task.stack: ffffc90000070000 [ 15.433356] RIP: 0010:netif_skb_features+0x24/0x230 [ 15.433977] RSP: 0018:ffff88043fd83e70 EFLAGS: 00010286 [ 15.434665] RAX: ffff880429ad80c0 RBX: ffff88042bd0e400 RCX: ffff880429ad8000 [ 15.435585] RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: 0000000000000000 RDI: ffff88042bd0e400 [ 15.436551] RBP: ffff88042bd0e400 R08: ffff88042a4b6c9c R09: 0000000000000001 [ 15.437485] R10: 0000000000000004 R11: 0000000000000000 R12: ffff88042c700000 [ 15.438393] R13: ffff88042c700000 R14: ffff88042a4b6c00 R15: ffff88042c6bb000 [ 15.439315] FS: 0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffff88043fd80000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 [ 15.440314] CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 [ 15.441084] CR2: 00000000000000d0 CR3: 000000042c374000 CR4: 00000000000006e0 [ 15.442016] Call Trace: [ 15.442333] <IRQ> [ 15.442596] validate_xmit_skb+0x17/0x270 [ 15.443134] validate_xmit_skb_list+0x38/0x60 [ 15.443698] sch_direct_xmit+0x102/0x190 [ 15.444198] __qdisc_run+0xe3/0x240 [ 15.444671] net_tx_action+0x121/0x140 [ 15.445177] __do_softirq+0xe2/0x224 [ 15.445654] irq_exit+0xbf/0xd0 [ 15.446072] smp_apic_timer_interrupt+0x5d/0x90 [ 15.446654] apic_timer_interrupt+0x7d/0x90 [ 15.447185] </IRQ> [ 15.447460] RIP: 0010:native_safe_halt+0x2/0x10 [ 15.447992] RSP: 0018:ffffc90000073f10 EFLAGS: 00000282 ORIG_RAX: ffffffffffffff10 [ 15.449008] RAX: ffffffff816667d0 RBX: ffffffff820946b0 RCX: 0000000000000000 [ 15.449895] RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: 0000000000000000 RDI: 0000000000000000 [ 15.450768] RBP: ffffffff82026940 R08: 00000004e858e5e1 R09: ffff88042a4b6d58 [ 15.451643] R10: 0000000000000000 R11: 000000d0d56879bb R12: 0000000000000000 [ 15.452478] R13: 0000000000000000 R14: 0000000000000000 R15: 0000000000000000 [ 15.453340] ? __sched_text_end+0x2/0x2 [ 15.453835] default_idle+0xf/0x20 [ 15.454259] do_idle+0x170/0x200 [ 15.454653] cpu_startup_entry+0x14/0x20 [ 15.455142] secondary_startup_64+0xa5/0xb0 [ 15.455715] Code: 1f 84 00 00 00 00 00 55 53 48 89 fd 48 83 ec 08 8b 87 bc 00 00 00 48 8b 8f c0 00 00 00 0f b6 97 81 00 00 00 48 8b 77 10 48 01 c8 <48> 8b 9 [ 15.458138] RIP: netif_skb_features+0x24/0x230 RSP: ffff88043fd83e70 [ 15.458933] CR2: 00000000000000d0 [ 15.459352] ---[ end trace 083925903ae60570 ]--- Fixes: 6b921536f170 ("net: sk_buff rbnode reorg") Cc: Stephen Hemminger <stephen(a)networkplumber.org> Cc: Eric Dumazet <edumazet(a)google.com> Cc: Soheil Hassas Yeganeh <soheil(a)google.com> Cc: Wei Wang <weiwan(a)google.com> Cc: Willem de Bruijn <willemb(a)google.com> Signed-off-by: Christoph Paasch <cpaasch(a)apple.com> --- Notes: This patch should only make it into v4.14-stable as that's the only branch where the offending commit has been backported to. net/sched/sch_netem.c | 4 ++++ 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+) diff --git a/net/sched/sch_netem.c b/net/sched/sch_netem.c index 2a2ab6bfe5d8..3d325b840802 100644 --- a/net/sched/sch_netem.c +++ b/net/sched/sch_netem.c @@ -624,6 +624,10 @@ static struct sk_buff *netem_dequeue(struct Qdisc *sch) skb->next = NULL; skb->prev = NULL; skb->tstamp = netem_skb_cb(skb)->tstamp_save; + /* skb->dev shares skb->rbnode area, + * we need to restore its value. + */ + skb->dev = qdisc_dev(sch); #ifdef CONFIG_NET_CLS_ACT /* -- 2.16.2

Automated testing for stable kernel branches?

by Major Hayden

Hello there, I am working on a project at Red Hat where we do quick testing on patches for internal kernels before they merge. The goal is to catch bugs or issues before they merge into kernel trees and avoid situations where kernels need time-consuming bisects when lots of patches are merged at once. We aim to put valuable feedback into a kernel developer's inbox within four hours. Our team has built a pipeline where we merge patches, compile kernels (for various architectures), and run tests on real hardware (various architectures). The current test set is fairly basic and it includes LTP plus some additional open source tests. We are looking to gradually expand those over time as we evaluate which tests provide the most value and find the most problems. We would love to bring this to upstream kernel repositories and we thought that linux-stable might be a good place to start. The developer/maintainer experience would look something like this: 1) Developer submits a patchset 2) Those patches end up in Patchwork 3) We pull patches from patchwork, compile kernels, and test them 4) We reply to the thread on the mailing list with a brief set of results (one time per patchset) Developers do not need to change any existing workflows. We gather the patches, test them, and reply in the appropriate place. Is this something that the linux-stable community and maintainers would find valuable? If so, feel free to ask any questions about our process and we can go over any of those parts in more detail. If not, please let me know anyway! Our team is always looking for ways to improve. :) Thanks a bunch for reading this far and I look forward to hearing from you. -- Major Hayden

Can a test patch for 4.14 be created? Can you run (as root): for i in /sys/kernel/debug/clk/pmc_plt_clk_?; do echo -n "$i: "; cat $i/clk_flags; echo; done When running a kernel with working audio? Then I can confirm that the Clapper is also using pmc_plt_clk_0, so that I can fix this for the clapper for 4.18+ I've just checked the 4.14 sources and in 4.14 the SND_SOC_INTEL_CHT_BSW_MAX98090_TI_MACH driver does not support mclk control yet, so for the 4.14 kernel the only way to fix this is to revert the 648e921888ad ("clk: x86: Stop marking clocks as CLK_IS_CRITICAL") commit.

[PATCH] selftests/powerpc: Fix ptrace tm failure

by Breno Leitao

Test ptrace-tm-spd-gpr fails on current kernel (4.19) due to a segmentation fault that happens on the child process prior to setting cptr[2] = 1. This causes the parent process to wait forever at 'while (!pptr[2])' and the test to be killed by the test harness framework by timeout, thus, failing. The segmentation fault happens because of a inline assembly being generated as: 0x10000355c <tm_spd_gpr+492> lfs f0, 0(0) This is reading memory position 0x0 and causing the segmentation fault. This code is being generated by ASM_LOAD_FPR_SINGLE_PRECISION(flt_4), where flt_4 is passed to the inline assembly block as: [flt_4] "r" (&d) Since the inline assembly 'r' constraint means any GPR, gpr0 is being chosen, thus causing this issue when issuing a Load Floating-Point Single instruction. This patch simply changes the constraint to 'b', which specify that this register will be used as base, and r0 is not allowed to be used, avoiding this issue. Other than that, removing flt_2 register from the input operands, since it is not used by the inline assembly code at all.

[patch 03/96] mm/hmm: fix race between hmm_mirror_unregister() and mmu_notifier callback

by akpm＠linux-foundation.org

From: Ralph Campbell <rcampbell(a)nvidia.com> Subject: mm/hmm: fix race between hmm_mirror_unregister() and mmu_notifier callback In hmm_mirror_unregister(), mm->hmm is set to NULL and then mmu_notifier_unregister_no_release() is called. That creates a small window where mmu_notifier can call mmu_notifier_ops with mm->hmm equal to NULL. Fix this by first unregistering mmu notifier callbacks and then setting mm->hmm to NULL. Similarly in hmm_register(), set mm->hmm before registering mmu_notifier callbacks so callback functions always see mm->hmm set.
