drop_monitor: dont sleep in atomic context

2014-02-10T21:10:59Z

commit bec4596b4e6770c7037f21f6bd27567b152dc0d6 upstream. drop_monitor calls several sleeping functions while in atomic context. BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at mm/slub.c:943 in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, pid: 2103, name: kworker/0:2 Pid: 2103, comm: kworker/0:2 Not tainted 3.5.0-rc1+ #55 Call Trace: [] __might_sleep+0xca/0xf0 [] kmem_cache_alloc_node+0x1b3/0x1c0 [] ? queue_delayed_work_on+0x11c/0x130 [] __alloc_skb+0x4b/0x230 [] ? reset_per_cpu_data+0x160/0x160 [drop_monitor] [] reset_per_cpu_data+0x2f/0x160 [drop_monitor] [] send_dm_alert+0x4b/0xb0 [drop_monitor] [] process_one_work+0x130/0x4c0 [] worker_thread+0x159/0x360 [] ? manage_workers.isra.27+0x240/0x240 [] kthread+0x93/0xa0 [] kernel_thread_helper+0x4/0x10 [] ? kthread_freezable_should_stop+0x80/0x80 [] ? gs_change+0xb/0xb Rework the logic to call the sleeping functions in right context. Use standard timer/workqueue api to let system chose any cpu to perform the allocation and netlink send. Also avoid a loop if reset_per_cpu_data() cannot allocate memory : use mod_timer() to wait 1/10 second before next try.

drop_monitor: prevent init path from scheduling on the wrong cpu

2014-02-10T21:10:59Z

commit 4fdcfa12843bca38d0c9deff70c8720e4e8f515f upstream. I just noticed after some recent updates, that the init path for the drop monitor protocol has a minor error. drop monitor maintains a per cpu structure, that gets initalized from a single cpu. Normally this is fine, as the protocol isn't in use yet, but I recently made a change that causes a failed skb allocation to reschedule itself . Given the current code, the implication is that this workqueue reschedule will take place on the wrong cpu. If drop monitor is used early during the boot process, its possible that two cpus will access a single per-cpu structure in parallel, possibly leading to data corruption. This patch fixes the situation, by storing the cpu number that a given instance of this per-cpu data should be accessed from. In the case of a need for a reschedule, the cpu stored in the struct is assigned the rescheule, rather than the currently executing cpu Tested successfully by myself.

drop_monitor: Make updating data->skb smp safe

2014-02-10T21:10:58Z

commit 3885ca785a3618593226687ced84f3f336dc3860 upstream. Eric Dumazet pointed out to me that the drop_monitor protocol has some holes in its smp protections. Specifically, its possible to replace data->skb while its being written. This patch corrects that by making data->skb an rcu protected variable. That will prevent it from being overwritten while a tracepoint is modifying it. Signed-off-by: Neil Horman Reported-by: Eric Dumazet CC: David Miller Acked-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S.

drop_monitor: fix sleeping in invalid context warning

2014-02-10T21:10:58Z

commit cde2e9a651b76d8db36ae94cd0febc82b637e5dd upstream. Eric Dumazet pointed out this warning in the drop_monitor protocol to me: [ 38.352571] BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/mutex.c:85 [ 38.352576] in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, pid: 4415, name: dropwatch [ 38.352580] Pid: 4415, comm: dropwatch Not tainted 3.4.0-rc2+ #71 [ 38.352582] Call Trace: [ 38.352592] [] ? trace_napi_poll_hit+0xd0/0xd0 [ 38.352599] [] __might_sleep+0xca/0xf0 [ 38.352606] [] mutex_lock+0x26/0x50 [ 38.352610] [] ? trace_napi_poll_hit+0xd0/0xd0 [ 38.352616] [] tracepoint_probe_register+0x29/0x90 [ 38.352621] [] set_all_monitor_traces+0x105/0x170 [ 38.352625] [] net_dm_cmd_trace+0x2a/0x40 [ 38.352630] [] genl_rcv_msg+0x21a/0x2b0 [ 38.352636] [] ? zone_statistics+0x99/0xc0 [ 38.352640] [] ? genl_rcv+0x30/0x30 [ 38.352645] [] netlink_rcv_skb+0xa9/0xd0 [ 38.352649] [] genl_rcv+0x20/0x30 [ 38.352653] [] netlink_unicast+0x1ae/0x1f0 [ 38.352658] [] netlink_sendmsg+0x2b6/0x310 [ 38.352663] [] sock_sendmsg+0x10f/0x130 [ 38.352668] [] ? move_addr_to_kernel+0x60/0xb0 [ 38.352673] [] ? verify_iovec+0x64/0xe0 [ 38.352677] [] __sys_sendmsg+0x386/0x390 [ 38.352682] [] ? handle_mm_fault+0x139/0x210 [ 38.352687] [] ? do_page_fault+0x1ec/0x4f0 [ 38.352693] [] ? set_next_entity+0x9d/0xb0 [ 38.352699] [] ? tty_ldisc_deref+0x9/0x10 [ 38.352703] [] ? pick_next_task_fair+0x63/0x140 [ 38.352708] [] sys_sendmsg+0x44/0x80 [ 38.352713] [] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b It stems from holding a spinlock (trace_state_lock) while attempting to register or unregister tracepoint hooks, making in_atomic() true in this context, leading to the warning when the tracepoint calls might_sleep() while its taking a mutex. Since we only use the trace_state_lock to prevent trace protocol state races, as well as hardware stat list updates on an rcu write side, we can just convert the spinlock to a mutex to avoid this problem.

include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

2010-03-30T13:02:32Z

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

net: drop_monitor: make last_rx timestamp private

2009-09-02T21:37:45Z

It was recently pointed out to me that the last_rx field of the net_device structure wasn't updated regularly. In fact only the bonding driver really uses it currently. Since the drop_monitor code relies on the last_rx field to detect drops on recevie in hardware, We need to find a more reliable way to rate limit our drop checks (so that we don't check for drops on every frame recevied, which would be inefficient. This patch makes a last_rx timestamp that is private to the drop monitor code and is updated for every device that we track. Signed-off-by: Neil Horman Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
