commit 06c5fe9b12dde1b62821f302f177c972bb1c81f9 upstream

The MBA software controller (mba_sc) is a feedback loop which
periodically reads MBM counters and tries to restrict the bandwidth
below a user-specified value. It tags along the MBM counter overflow
handler to do the updates with 1s interval in mbm_update() and
update_mba_bw().

The purpose of mbm_update() is to periodically read the MBM counters to
make sure that the hardware counter doesn't wrap around more than once
between user samplings. mbm_update() calls __mon_event_count() for local
bandwidth updating when mba_sc is not enabled, but calls mbm_bw_count()
instead when mba_sc is enabled. __mon_event_count() will not be called
for local bandwidth updating in MBM counter overflow handler, but it is
still called when reading MBM local bandwidth counter file
'mbm_local_bytes', the call path is as below:

  rdtgroup_mondata_show()
    mon_event_read()
      mon_event_count()
        __mon_event_count()

In __mon_event_count(), m-&gt;chunks is updated by delta chunks which is
calculated from previous MSR value (m-&gt;prev_msr) and current MSR value.
When mba_sc is enabled, m-&gt;chunks is also updated in mbm_update() by
mistake by the delta chunks which is calculated from m-&gt;prev_bw_msr
instead of m-&gt;prev_msr. But m-&gt;chunks is not used in update_mba_bw() in
the mba_sc feedback loop.

When reading MBM local bandwidth counter file, m-&gt;chunks was changed
unexpectedly by mbm_bw_count(). As a result, the incorrect local
bandwidth counter which calculated from incorrect m-&gt;chunks is shown to
the user.

Fix this by removing incorrect m-&gt;chunks updating in mbm_bw_count() in
MBM counter overflow handler, and always calling __mon_event_count() in
mbm_update() to make sure that the hardware local bandwidth counter
doesn't wrap around.

Test steps:
  # Run workload with aggressive memory bandwidth (e.g., 10 GB/s)
  git clone https://github.com/intel/intel-cmt-cat &amp;&amp; cd intel-cmt-cat
  &amp;&amp; make
  ./tools/membw/membw -c 0 -b 10000 --read

  # Enable MBA software controller
  mount -t resctrl resctrl -o mba_MBps /sys/fs/resctrl

  # Create control group c1
  mkdir /sys/fs/resctrl/c1

  # Set MB throttle to 6 GB/s
  echo "MB:0=6000;1=6000" &gt; /sys/fs/resctrl/c1/schemata

  # Write PID of the workload to tasks file
  echo `pidof membw` &gt; /sys/fs/resctrl/c1/tasks

  # Read local bytes counters twice with 1s interval, the calculated
  # local bandwidth is not as expected (approaching to 6 GB/s):
  local_1=`cat /sys/fs/resctrl/c1/mon_data/mon_L3_00/mbm_local_bytes`
  sleep 1
  local_2=`cat /sys/fs/resctrl/c1/mon_data/mon_L3_00/mbm_local_bytes`
  echo "local b/w (bytes/s):" `expr $local_2 - $local_1`

Before fix:
  local b/w (bytes/s): 11076796416

After fix:
  local b/w (bytes/s): 5465014272

<title>x86/resctrl: Add necessary kernfs_put() calls to prevent refcount leak</title>

<id>urn:sha1:c39c19b367cbac540247dc4bd4da573e31b45746</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 758999246965eeb8b253d47e72f7bfe508804b16 upstream.

On resource group creation via a mkdir an extra kernfs_node reference is
obtained by kernfs_get() to ensure that the rdtgroup structure remains
accessible for the rdtgroup_kn_unlock() calls where it is removed on
deletion. Currently the extra kernfs_node reference count is only
dropped by kernfs_put() in rdtgroup_kn_unlock() while the rdtgroup
structure is removed in a few other locations that lack the matching
reference drop.

In call paths of rmdir and umount, when a control group is removed,
kernfs_remove() is called to remove the whole kernfs nodes tree of the
control group (including the kernfs nodes trees of all child monitoring
groups), and then rdtgroup structure is freed by kfree(). The rdtgroup
structures of all child monitoring groups under the control group are
freed by kfree() in free_all_child_rdtgrp().

Before calling kfree() to free the rdtgroup structures, the kernfs node
of the control group itself as well as the kernfs nodes of all child
monitoring groups still take the extra references which will never be
dropped to 0 and the kernfs nodes will never be freed. It leads to
reference count leak and kernfs_node_cache memory leak.

For example, reference count leak is observed in these two cases:
  (1) mount -t resctrl resctrl /sys/fs/resctrl
      mkdir /sys/fs/resctrl/c1
      mkdir /sys/fs/resctrl/c1/mon_groups/m1
      umount /sys/fs/resctrl

  (2) mkdir /sys/fs/resctrl/c1
      mkdir /sys/fs/resctrl/c1/mon_groups/m1
      rmdir /sys/fs/resctrl/c1

The same reference count leak issue also exists in the error exit paths
of mkdir in mkdir_rdt_prepare() and rdtgroup_mkdir_ctrl_mon().

Fix this issue by following changes to make sure the extra kernfs_node
reference on rdtgroup is dropped before freeing the rdtgroup structure.
  (1) Introduce rdtgroup removal helper rdtgroup_remove() to wrap up
  kernfs_put() and kfree().

  (2) Call rdtgroup_remove() in rdtgroup removal path where the rdtgroup
  structure is about to be freed by kfree().

  (3) Call rdtgroup_remove() or kernfs_put() as appropriate in the error
  exit paths of mkdir where an extra reference is taken by kernfs_get().

commit fd8d9db3559a29fd737bcdb7c4fcbe1940caae34 upstream.

Willem reported growing of kernfs_node_cache entries in slabtop when
repeatedly creating and removing resctrl subdirectories as well as when
repeatedly mounting and unmounting the resctrl filesystem.

On resource group (control as well as monitoring) creation via a mkdir
an extra kernfs_node reference is obtained to ensure that the rdtgroup
structure remains accessible for the rdtgroup_kn_unlock() calls where it
is removed on deletion. The kernfs_node reference count is dropped by
kernfs_put() in rdtgroup_kn_unlock().

With the above explaining the need for one kernfs_get()/kernfs_put()
pair in resctrl there are more places where a kernfs_node reference is
obtained without a corresponding release. The excessive amount of
reference count on kernfs nodes will never be dropped to 0 and the
kernfs nodes will never be freed in the call paths of rmdir and umount.
It leads to reference count leak and kernfs_node_cache memory leak.

Remove the superfluous kernfs_get() calls and expand the existing
comments surrounding the remaining kernfs_get()/kernfs_put() pair that
remains in use.

Superfluous kernfs_get() calls are removed from two areas:

  (1) In call paths of mount and mkdir, when kernfs nodes for "info",
  "mon_groups" and "mon_data" directories and sub-directories are
  created, the reference count of newly created kernfs node is set to 1.
  But after kernfs_create_dir() returns, superfluous kernfs_get() are
  called to take an additional reference.

  (2) kernfs_get() calls in rmdir call paths.

<title>x86/resctrl: Fix a NULL vs IS_ERR() static checker warning in rdt_cdp_peer_get()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:cc5277fe66cf3ad68f41f1c539b2ef0d5e432974</id>
<content type='text'>
The callers don't expect *d_cdp to be set to an error pointer, they only
check for NULL.  This leads to a static checker warning:

  arch/x86/kernel/cpu/resctrl/rdtgroup.c:2648 __init_one_rdt_domain()
  warn: 'd_cdp' could be an error pointer

This would not trigger a bug in this specific case because
__init_one_rdt_domain() calls it with a valid domain that would not have
a negative id and thus not trigger the return of the ERR_PTR(). If this
was a negative domain id then the call to rdt_find_domain() in
domain_add_cpu() would have returned the ERR_PTR() much earlier and the
creation of the domain with an invalid id would have been prevented.

Even though a bug is not triggered currently the right and safe thing to
do is to set the pointer to NULL because that is what can be checked for
when the caller is handling the CDP and non-CDP cases.

<title>x86/resctrl: Fix memory bandwidth counter width for AMD</title>

<id>urn:sha1:2c18bd525c47f882f033b0a813ecd09c93e1ecdf</id>
<content type='text'>
Memory bandwidth is calculated reading the monitoring counter
at two intervals and calculating the delta. It is the software’s
responsibility to read the count often enough to avoid having
the count roll over _twice_ between reads.

The current code hardcodes the bandwidth monitoring counter's width
to 24 bits for AMD. This is due to default base counter width which
is 24. Currently, AMD does not implement the CPUID 0xF.[ECX=1]:EAX
to adjust the counter width. But, the AMD hardware supports much
wider bandwidth counter with the default width of 44 bits.

Kernel reads these monitoring counters every 1 second and adjusts the
counter value for overflow. With 24 bits and scale value of 64 for AMD,
it can only measure up to 1GB/s without overflowing. For the rates
above 1GB/s this will fail to measure the bandwidth.

Fix the issue setting the default width to 44 bits by adjusting the
offset.

AMD future products will implement CPUID 0xF.[ECX=1]:EAX.

The MBM CPUID enumeration properties have been expanded to include
the MBM counter width, encoded as an offset from 24 bits.

While eight bits are available for the counter width offset IA32_QM_CTR
MSR only supports 62 bit counters. Add a sanity check, with warning

<title>x86/resctrl: Maintain MBM counter width per resource</title>

<content type='text'>
The original Memory Bandwidth Monitoring (MBM) architectural
definition defines counters of up to 62 bits in the IA32_QM_CTR MSR,
and the first-generation MBM implementation uses 24 bit counters.
Software is required to poll at 1 second or faster to ensure that
data is retrieved before a counter rollover occurs more than once
under worst conditions.

As system bandwidths scale the software requirement is maintained with
the introduction of a per-resource enumerable MBM counter width.

In preparation for supporting hardware with an enumerable MBM counter
width the current globally static MBM counter width is moved to a
per-resource MBM counter width. Currently initialized to 24 always
to result in no functional change.

In essence there is one function, mbm_overflow_count() that needs to
know the counter width to handle rollovers. The static value
used within mbm_overflow_count() will be replaced with a value
discovered from the hardware. Support for learning the MBM counter
width from hardware is added in the change that follows.
