kthread: unpark only parked kthread

2024-10-17T13:27:02Z

commit 214e01ad4ed7158cab66498810094fac5d09b218 upstream. Calling into kthread unparking unconditionally is mostly harmless when the kthread is already unparked. The wake up is then simply ignored because the target is not in TASK_PARKED state. However if the kthread is per CPU, the wake up is preceded by a call to kthread_bind() which expects the task to be inactive and in TASK_PARKED state, which obviously isn't the case if it is unparked. As a result, calling kthread_stop() on an unparked per-cpu kthread triggers such a warning: WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 11 at kernel/kthread.c:525 __kthread_bind_mask kernel/kthread.c:525 kthread_stop+0x17a/0x630 kernel/kthread.c:707 destroy_workqueue+0x136/0xc40 kernel/workqueue.c:5810 wg_destruct+0x1e2/0x2e0 drivers/net/wireguard/device.c:257 netdev_run_todo+0xe1a/0x1000 net/core/dev.c:10693 default_device_exit_batch+0xa14/0xa90 net/core/dev.c:11769 ops_exit_list net/core/net_namespace.c:178 [inline] cleanup_net+0x89d/0xcc0 net/core/net_namespace.c:640 process_one_work kernel/workqueue.c:3231 [inline] process_scheduled_works+0xa2c/0x1830 kernel/workqueue.c:3312 worker_thread+0x86d/0xd70 kernel/workqueue.c:3393 kthread+0x2f0/0x390 kernel/kthread.c:389 ret_from_fork+0x4b/0x80 arch/x86/kernel/process.c:147 ret_from_fork_asm+0x1a/0x30 arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S:244 Fix this with skipping unecessary unparking while stopping a kthread.

kthread: fix task state in kthread worker if being frozen

2024-10-04T14:37:59Z

[ Upstream commit e16c7b07784f3fb03025939c4590b9a7c64970a7 ] When analyzing a kernel waring message, Peter pointed out that there is a race condition when the kworker is being frozen and falls into try_to_freeze() with TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE, which could trigger a might_sleep() warning in try_to_freeze(). Although the root cause is not related to freeze()[1], it is still worthy to fix this issue ahead. One possible race scenario: CPU 0 CPU 1 ----- ----- // kthread_worker_fn set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE); suspend_freeze_processes() freeze_processes static_branch_inc(&freezer_active); freeze_kernel_threads pm_nosig_freezing = true; if (work) { //false __set_current_state(TASK_RUNNING); } else if (!freezing(current)) //false, been frozen freezing(): if (static_branch_unlikely(&freezer_active)) if (pm_nosig_freezing) return true; schedule() } // state is still TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE try_to_freeze() might_sleep() <--- warning Fix this by explicitly set the TASK_RUNNING before entering try_to_freeze().

kunit: Handle test faults

2024-05-06T20:22:02Z

Previously, when a kernel test thread crashed (e.g. NULL pointer dereference, general protection fault), the KUnit test hanged for 30 seconds and exited with a timeout error. Fix this issue by waiting on task_struct->vfork_done instead of the custom kunit_try_catch.try_completion, and track the execution state by initially setting try_result with -EINTR and only setting it to 0 if the test passed. Fix kunit_generic_run_threadfn_adapter() signature by returning 0 instead of calling kthread_complete_and_exit(). Because thread's exit code is never checked, always set it to 0 to make it clear. To make this explicit, export kthread_exit() for KUnit tests built as module. Fix the -EINTR error message, which couldn't be reached until now. This is tested with a following patch.

kthread: add kthread_stop_put

2023-10-04T17:41:57Z

Add a kthread_stop_put() helper that stops a thread and puts its task struct. Use it to replace the various instances of kthread_stop() followed by put_task_struct(). Remove the kthread_stop_put() macro in usbip that is similar but doesn't return the result of kthread_stop().
