From: Greg Thelen <gthelen(a)google.com>
commit 2e898e4c0a3897ccd434adac5abb8330194f527b upstream.
lock_page_memcg()/unlock_page_memcg() use spin_lock_irqsave/restore() if
the page's memcg is undergoing move accounting, which occurs when a
process leaves its memcg for a new one that has
memory.move_charge_at_immigrate set.
unlocked_inode_to_wb_begin,end() use spin_lock_irq/spin_unlock_irq() if
the given inode is switching writeback domains. Switches occur when
enough writes are issued from a new domain.
This existing pattern is thus suspicious:
lock_page_memcg(page);
unlocked_inode_to_wb_begin(inode, &locked);
...
unlocked_inode_to_wb_end(inode, locked);
unlock_page_memcg(page);
If both inode switch and process memcg migration are both in-flight then
unlocked_inode_to_wb_end() will unconditionally enable interrupts while
still holding the lock_page_memcg() irq spinlock. This suggests the
possibility of deadlock if an interrupt occurs before unlock_page_memcg().
truncate
__cancel_dirty_page
lock_page_memcg
unlocked_inode_to_wb_begin
unlocked_inode_to_wb_end
<interrupts mistakenly enabled>
<interrupt>
end_page_writeback
test_clear_page_writeback
lock_page_memcg
<deadlock>
unlock_page_memcg
Due to configuration limitations this deadlock is not currently possible
because we don't mix cgroup writeback (a cgroupv2 feature) and
memory.move_charge_at_immigrate (a cgroupv1 feature).
If the kernel is hacked to always claim inode switching and memcg
moving_account, then this script triggers lockup in less than a minute:
cd /mnt/cgroup/memory
mkdir a b
echo 1 > a/memory.move_charge_at_immigrate
echo 1 > b/memory.move_charge_at_immigrate
(
echo $BASHPID > a/cgroup.procs
while true; do
dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/big bs=1M count=256
done
) &
while true; do
sync
done &
sleep 1h &
SLEEP=$!
while true; do
echo $SLEEP > a/cgroup.procs
echo $SLEEP > b/cgroup.procs
done
The deadlock does not seem possible, so it's debatable if there's any
reason to modify the kernel. I suggest we should to prevent future
surprises. And Wang Long said "this deadlock occurs three times in our
environment", so there's more reason to apply this, even to stable.
Stable 4.4 has minor conflicts applying this patch. For a clean 4.4 patch
see "[PATCH for-4.4] writeback: safer lock nesting"

2.17.0
Hi Greg,
Commit 7dac4a1726a9 ("ext4: add validity checks for bitmap block
numbers") seems to be the cause of the regression reported here:
https://marc.info/?l=linux-ext4&m=152416385122029&w=2
ext4 folks are probably busy at LSF, so no reply yet. Should this
commit be held until we get word from Ted?
Please excuse broken threading.
Thanks,
Ilya
commit 5e1df40f40ee45a97bb1066c3d71f0ae920a9672 upstream.
Currently we see sporadic timeouts during CDCLK changing both on BXT and
GLK as reported by the Bugzilla: ticket. It's easy to reproduce this by
changing the frequency in a tight loop after blanking the display. The
upper bound for the completion time is 800us based on my tests, so
increase it from the current 500us to 2ms; with that I couldn't trigger
the problem either on BXT or GLK.
Note that timeouts happened during both the change notification and the
voltage level setting PCODE request. (For the latter one BSpec doesn't
require us to wait for completion before further HW programming.)
This issue is similar to
commit 2c7d0602c815 ("drm/i915/gen9: Fix PCODE polling during CDCLK
change notification")
but there the PCODE request does complete (as shown by the mbox
busy flag), only the reply we get from PCODE indicates a failure.
So there we keep resending the request until a success reply, here we
just have to increase the timeout for the one PCODE request we send.

While a barrier is present in the outX() functions before the register
write, a similar barrier is missing in the inX() functions after the
register read. This could allow memory accesses following inX() to
observe stale data.
This patch is very similar to commit a1cc7034e33d12dc1 ("MIPS: io: Add
barrier after register read in readX()"). Because war_io_reorder_wmb()
is both used by writeX() and outX(), if readX() need a barrier then so
does inX().

an out-of-bounds access.
Fix this by assigning the clamped value.

This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
kobject: don't use WARN for registration failures
to my driver-core git tree which can be found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core.git
in the driver-core-linus branch.
The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree
(usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)
The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the
next -rc kernel release.
If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: kobject: don't use WARN for registration failures
This WARNING proved to be noisy. The function still returns an error
and callers should handle it. That's how most of kernel code works.
Downgrade the WARNING to pr_err() and leave WARNINGs for kernel bugs.
