11 years agowatchdog: sp5100_tco: Add SB8x0 chipset support
Takahisa Tanaka [Sun, 2 Dec 2012 05:33:18 +0000 (14:33 +0900)]
watchdog: sp5100_tco: Add SB8x0 chipset support

The current sp5100_tco driver only supports SP5100/SB7x0 chipset, doesn't
support SB8x0 chipset, because current sp5100_tco driver doesn't know that the
offset address for watchdog timer was changed from SB8x0 chipset.

The offset address of SP5100 and SB7x0 chipsets are as follows, quote from the
AMD SB700/710/750 Register Reference Guide (Page 164) and the AMD SP5100
Register Reference Guide (Page 166).

  WatchDogTimerControl 69h
  WatchDogTimerBase0   6Ch
  WatchDogTimerBase1   6Dh
  WatchDogTimerBase2   6Eh
  WatchDogTimerBase3   6Fh

In contrast, the offset address of SB8x0 chipset is as follows, quote from
AMD SB800-Series Southbridges Register Reference Guide (Page 147).

  WatchDogTimerEn      48h
  WatchDogTimerConfig  4Ch

So, In the case of SB8x0 chipset, sp5100_tco reads meaningless MMIO
address (for example, 0xbafe00) from wrong offset address, and the following
message is logged.

   SP5100 TCO timer: mmio address 0xbafe00 already in use

With this patch, sp5100_tco driver supports SB8x0 chipset, and can avoid
iomem resource conflict. The processing of this patch is as follows.

 Step 1) Attempt to get the watchdog base address from indirect I/O (0xCD6
         and 0xCD7).
  - Go to the step 7 if obtained address hasn't conflicted with other
    resource. But, currently, the address (0xfec000f0) conflicts with the
    IOAPIC MMIO address, and the following message is logged.

       SP5100 TCO timer: mmio address 0xfec000f0 already in use

    0xfec000f0 is recommended by AMD BIOS Developer's Guide. So, go to the
    next step.

 Step 2) Attempt to get the SBResource_MMIO base address from AcpiMmioEN (for
         SB8x0,  PM_Reg:24h) or SBResource_MMIO (SP5100/SB7x0, PCI_Reg:9Ch)
         register.
  - Go to the step 7 if these register has enabled by BIOS, and obtained
    address hasn't conflicted with other resource.
  - If above condition isn't true, go to the next step.

 Step 3) Attempt to get the free MMIO address from allocate_resource().
  - Go to the step 7 if these register has enabled by BIOS, and obtained
    address hasn't conflicted with other resource.
  - Driver initialization has failed if obtained address has conflicted
    with other resource, and no 'force_addr' parameter is specified.

 Step 4) Use the specified address If 'force_addr' parameter is specified.
  - allocate_resource() function may fail, when the PCI bridge device occupies
    iomem resource from 0xf0000000 to 0xffffffff. To handle such a case,
    I added 'force_addr' parameter to sp5100_tco driver. With 'force_addr'
    parameter, sp5100_tco driver directly can assign MMIO address for watchdog
    timer from free iomem region. Note that It's dangerous to specify wrong
    address in the 'force_addr' parameter.

      Example of force_addr parameter use
        # cat /proc/iomem
        ...snip...
        fec00000-fec003ff : IOAPIC 0
                                      <--- free MMIO region
        fec10000-fec1001f : pnp 00:0b
        fec20000-fec203ff : IOAPIC 1
        ...snip...
        # cat /etc/modprobe.d/sp5100_tco.conf
        options sp5100_tco force_addr=0xfec00800
        # modprobe sp5100_tco
        # cat /proc/iomem
        ...snip...
        fec00000-fec003ff : IOAPIC 0
        fec00800-fec00807 : SP5100 TCO  <--- watchdog timer MMIO address
        fec10000-fec1001f : pnp 00:0b
        fec20000-fec203ff : IOAPIC 1
        ...snip...
        #

  - Driver initialization has failed if specified address has conflicted
    with other resource.

 Step 5) Disable the watchdog timer
  - To rewrite the watchdog timer register of the chipset, absolutely
    guarantee that the watchdog timer is disabled.

 Step 6) Re-program the watchdog timer MMIO address to chipset.
  - Re-program the obtained MMIO address in Step 3 or Step 4 to chipset via
    indirect I/O (0xCD6 and 0xCD7).

 Step 7) Enable and setup the watchdog timer

This patch has worked fine on my test environment (ASUS M4A89GTD-PRO/USB3 and
DL165G7). therefore I believe that it's no problem to re-program the MMIO
address for watchdog timer to chipset during disabled watchdog. However,
I'm not sure about it, because I don't know much about chipset programming.

So, any comments will be welcome.

watchdog: Fix disable/enable regression

Commit 8d4516904b39 ("watchdog: Fix CPU hotplug regression") causes an
oops or hard lockup when doing

 echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog
 echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog

and the kernel is booted with nmi_watchdog=1 (default)

Running laptop-mode-tools and disconnecting/connecting AC power will
cause this to trigger, making it a common failure scenario on laptops.

Instead of bailing out of watchdog_disable() when !watchdog_enabled we
can initialize the hrtimer regardless of watchdog_enabled status.  This
makes it safe to call watchdog_disable() in the nmi_watchdog=0 case,
without the negative effect on the enabled => disabled => enabled case.

All these tests pass with this patch:
- nmi_watchdog=1
  echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog
  echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog

- nmi_watchdog=0

11 years agoblk: avoid divide-by-zero with zero discard granularity
Linus Torvalds [Wed, 19 Dec 2012 15:18:35 +0000 (07:18 -0800)]
blk: avoid divide-by-zero with zero discard granularity

Commit 8dd2cb7e880d ("block: discard granularity might not be power of
2") changed a couple of 'binary and' operations into modulus operations.
Which turned the harmless case of a zero discard_granularity into a
possible divide-by-zero.

The code also had a much more subtle bug: it was doing the modulus of a
value in bytes using 'sector_t'.  That was always conceptually wrong,
but didn't actually matter back when the code assumed a power-of-two
granularity: we only looked at the low bits anyway.

But with potentially arbitrary sector numbers, using a 'sector_t' to
express bytes is very very wrong: depending on configuration it limits
the starting offset of the device to just 32 bits, and any overflow
would result in a wrong value if the modulus wasn't a power-of-two.

So re-write the code to not only protect against the divide-by-zero, but
to do the starting sector arithmetic in sectors, and using the proper
types.

[ For any mathematicians out there: it also looks monumentally stupid to
  do the 'modulo granularity' operation *twice*, never mind having a "+
  granularity" in the second modulus op.

  But that's the easiest way to avoid negative values or overflow, and
  it is how the original code was done. ]

11 years agomm/vmscan.c: avoid possible deadlock caused by too_many_isolated()
Fengguang Wu [Tue, 18 Dec 2012 22:23:31 +0000 (14:23 -0800)]
mm/vmscan.c: avoid possible deadlock caused by too_many_isolated()

Neil found that if too_many_isolated() returns true while performing
direct reclaim we can end up waiting for other threads to complete their
direct reclaim.  If those threads are allowed to enter the FS or IO to
free memory, but this thread is not, then it is possible that those
threads will be waiting on this thread and so we get a circular deadlock.

some task enters direct reclaim with GFP_KERNEL
  => too_many_isolated() false
    => vmscan and run into dirty pages
      => pageout()
        => take some FS lock
          => fs/block code does GFP_NOIO allocation
            => enter direct reclaim again
              => too_many_isolated() true
                => waiting for others to progress, however the other
                   tasks may be circular waiting for the FS lock..

The fix is to let !__GFP_IO and !__GFP_FS direct reclaims enjoy higher
priority than normal ones, by lowering the throttle threshold for the
latter.

Allowing ~1/8 isolated pages in normal is large enough.  For example, for
a 1GB LRU list, that's ~128MB isolated pages, or 1k blocked tasks (each
isolates 32 4KB pages), or 64 blocked tasks per logical CPU (assuming 16
logical CPUs per NUMA node).  So it's not likely some CPU goes idle
waiting (when it could make progress) because of this limit: there are
much more sleeping reclaim tasks than the number of CPU, so the task may
well be blocked by some low level queue/lock anyway.

Now !GFP_IOFS reclaims won't be waiting for GFP_IOFS reclaims to progress.
 They will be blocked only when there are too many concurrent !GFP_IOFS
reclaims, however that's very unlikely because the IO-less direct reclaims
is able to progress much more faster, and they won't deadlock each other.
The threshold is raised high enough for them, so that there can be
sufficient parallel progress of !GFP_IOFS reclaims.

11 years agoslub: drop mutex before deleting sysfs entry
Glauber Costa [Tue, 18 Dec 2012 22:23:13 +0000 (14:23 -0800)]
slub: drop mutex before deleting sysfs entry

Sasha Levin recently reported a lockdep problem resulting from the new
attribute propagation introduced by kmemcg series.  In short, slab_mutex
will be called from within the sysfs attribute store function.  This will
create a dependency, that will later be held backwards when a cache is
destroyed - since destruction occurs with the slab_mutex held, and then
calls in to the sysfs directory removal function.

In this patch, I propose to adopt a strategy close to what
__kmem_cache_create does before calling sysfs_slab_add, and release the
lock before the call to sysfs_slab_remove.  This is pretty much the last
operation in the kmem_cache_shutdown() path, so we could do better by
splitting this and moving this call alone to later on.  This will fit
nicely when sysfs handling is consistent between all caches, but will look
weird now.

memcg: add comments clarifying aspects of cache attribute propagation

This patch clarifies two aspects of cache attribute propagation.

First, the expected context for the for_each_memcg_cache macro in
memcontrol.h.  The usages already in the codebase are safe.  In mm/slub.c,
it is trivially safe because the lock is acquired right before the loop.
In mm/slab.c, it is less so: the lock is acquired by an outer function a
few steps back in the stack, so a VM_BUG_ON() is added to make sure it is
indeed safe.

A comment is also added to detail why we are returning the value of the
parent cache and ignoring the children's when we propagate the attributes.

slub: slub-specific propagation changes

SLUB allows us to tune a particular cache behavior with sysfs-based
tunables.  When creating a new memcg cache copy, we'd like to preserve any
tunables the parent cache already had.

This can be done by tapping into the store attribute function provided by
the allocator.  We of course don't need to mess with read-only fields.
Since the attributes can have multiple types and are stored internally by
sysfs, the best strategy is to issue a ->show() in the root cache, and
then ->store() in the memcg cache.

The drawback of that, is that sysfs can allocate up to a page in buffering
for show(), that we are likely not to need, but also can't guarantee.  To
avoid always allocating a page for that, we can update the caches at store
time with the maximum attribute size ever stored to the root cache.  We
will then get a buffer big enough to hold it.  The corolary to this, is
that if no stores happened, nothing will be propagated.

It can also happen that a root cache has its tunables updated during
normal system operation.  In this case, we will propagate the change to
all caches that are already active.

Another method of doing that is taking advantage of the fact that

called at cache initialization.  We can just preset the values, and then
things work as expected.

This is done in this patch by calling memcg_kmem_get_cache in the
beginning of every allocation function.  This function is patched out by
static branches when kernel memory controller is not being used.

It assumes that the task allocating, which determines the memcg in the
page allocator, belongs to the same cgroup throughout the whole process.
Misaccounting can happen if the task calls memcg_kmem_get_cache() while
belonging to a cgroup, and later on changes.  This is considered
acceptable, and should only happen upon task migration.

Before the cache is created by the memcg core, there is also a possible
imbalance: the task belongs to a memcg, but the cache being allocated from
is the global cache, since the child cache is not yet guaranteed to be
ready.  This case is also fine, since in this case the GFP_KMEMCG will not
be passed and the page allocator will not attempt any cgroup accounting.

memcg: allocate memory for memcg caches whenever a new memcg appears

caches, tied to the root memcg/no-memcg) will have an array that should be
large enough to store a cache pointer per each memcg in the system.

Theoreticaly, this is as high as 1 << sizeof(css_id), which is currently
in the 64k pointers range.  Most of the time, we won't be using that much.

What goes in this patch, is a simple scheme to dynamically allocate such
an array, in order to minimize memory usage for memcg caches.  Because we
would also like to avoid allocations all the time, at least for now, the
array will only grow.  It will tend to be big enough to hold the maximum
number of kmem-limited memcgs ever achieved.

We'll allocate it to be a minimum of 64 kmem-limited memcgs.  When we have
more than that, we'll start doubling the size of this array every time the
limit is reached.

Because we are only considering kmem limited memcgs, a natural point for
this to happen is when we write to the limit.  At that point, we already
have set_limit_mutex held, so that will become our natural synchronization
mechanism.

slab/slub: consider a memcg parameter in kmem_create_cache

Allow a memcg parameter to be passed during cache creation.  When the slub
allocator is being used, it will only merge caches that belong to the same
memcg.  We'll do this by scanning the global list, and then translating
the cache to a memcg-specific cache

Default function is created as a wrapper, passing NULL to the memcg
version.  We only merge caches that belong to the same memcg.

A helper is provided, memcg_css_id: because slub needs a unique cache name
for sysfs.  Since this is visible, but not the canonical location for slab
data, the cache name is not used, the css_id should suffice.

slab: annotate on-slab caches nodelist locks

something trivial to avoid.

My proposal with this patch, is to extend this to caches whose slab
management object lives within the slab as well ("on_slab").  The need for
this arose in the context of testing kmemcg-slab patches.  With such

nesting.  Because they are not annotated, lockdep will trigger.

This code path is taken when the architecture doesn't define
CONFIG_ARCH_THREAD_INFO_ALLOCATOR (only ia64 seems to), and has
THREAD_SIZE >= PAGE_SIZE.  Luckily, most - if not all - of the remaining

This will guarantee that every stack page is accounted to the memcg the

go over limit.

For the time being, I am defining a new variant of THREADINFO_GFP, not to
mess with the other path.  Once the slab is also tracked by memcg, we can

memcg: execute the whole memcg freeing in free_worker()

A lot of the initialization we do in mem_cgroup_create() is done with
softirqs enabled.  This include grabbing a css id, which holds
&ss->id_lock->rlock, and the per-zone trees, which holds
rtpz->lock->rlock.  All of those signal to the lockdep mechanism that
those locks can be used in SOFTIRQ-ON-W context.

This means that the freeing of memcg structure must happen in a
compatible context, otherwise we'll get a deadlock, like the one below,
caught by lockdep:

   free_accounted_pages+0x47/0x4c
   free_task+0x31/0x5c
   __put_task_struct+0xc2/0xdb
   put_task_struct+0x1e/0x22
   delayed_put_task_struct+0x7a/0x98
   __rcu_process_callbacks+0x269/0x3df
   rcu_process_callbacks+0x31/0x5b
   __do_softirq+0x122/0x277

This usage pattern could not be triggered before kmem came into play.
With the introduction of kmem stack handling, it is possible that we call
the last mem_cgroup_put() from the task destructor, which is run in an rcu
callback.  Such callbacks are run with softirqs disabled, leading to the
offensive usage pattern.

In general, we have little, if any, means to guarantee in which context
the last memcg_put will happen.  The best we can do is test it and try to
make sure no invalid context releases are happening.  But as we add more
code to memcg, the possible interactions grow in number and expose more
ways to get context conflicts.  One thing to keep in mind, is that part of
the freeing process is already deferred to a worker, such as vfree(), that
can only be called from process context.

For the moment, the only two functions we really need moved away are:

  * free_css_id(), and
  * mem_cgroup_remove_from_trees().

But because the later accesses per-zone info,
free_mem_cgroup_per_zone_info() needs to be moved as well.  With that, we
are left with the per_cpu stats only.  Better move it all.

This can get expensive, however, and we can do better.  mem_cgroup_get()
only really needs to be issued once: when the first limit is set.  In the
same spirit, we only need to issue mem_cgroup_put() when the last charge
is gone.

KMEM_ACCOUNTED_DEAD.  it will be set when the cgroup dies, if there are
charges in the group.  If there aren't, we can proceed right away.

Our uncharge function will have to test that bit every time the charges
drop to 0.  Because that is not the likely output of res_counter_uncharge,
this should not impose a big hit on us: it is certainly much better than a
