      mm: slowly shrink slabs with a relatively small number of objects · 172b06c3
      Roman Gushchin authored 
      9092c71b ("mm: use sc->priority for slab shrink targets") changed the
way that the target slab pressure is calculated and made it
priority-based:

    delta = freeable >> priority;
    delta *= 4;
    do_div(delta, shrinker->seeks);

The problem is that on a default priority (which is 12) no pressure is
applied at all, if the number of potentially reclaimable objects is less
than 4096 (1<<12).

This causes the last objects on slab caches of no longer used cgroups to
(almost) never get reclaimed.  It's obviously a waste of memory.

It can be especially painful, if these stale objects are holding a
reference to a dying cgroup.  Slab LRU lists are reparented on memcg
offlining, but corresponding objects are still holding a reference to the
dying cgroup.  If we don't scan these objects, the dying cgroup can't go
away.  Most likely, the parent cgroup hasn't any directly charged objects,
only remaining objects from dying children cgroups.  So it can easily hold
a reference to hundreds of dying cgroups.

If there are no big spikes in memory pressure, and new memory cgroups are
created and destroyed periodically, this causes the number of dying
cgroups grow steadily, causing a slow-ish and hard-to-detect memory
"leak".  It's not a real leak, as the memory can be eventually reclaimed,
but it could not happen in a real life at all.  I've seen hosts with a
steadily climbing number of dying cgroups, which doesn't show any signs of
a decline in months, despite the host is loaded with a production
workload.

It is an obvious waste of memory, and to prevent it, let's apply a minimal
pressure even on small shrinker lists.  E.g.  if there are freeable
objects, let's scan at least min(freeable, scan_batch) objects.

This fix significantly improves a chance of a dying cgroup to be
reclaimed, and together with some previous patches stops the steady growth
of the dying cgroups number on some of our hosts.

      mm: shmem.c: Correctly annotate new inodes for lockdep · b45d71fb
      Joel Fernandes (Google) authored 
      Directories and inodes don't necessarily need to be in the same lockdep
class.  For ex, hugetlbfs splits them out too to prevent false positives
in lockdep.  Annotate correctly after new inode creation.  If its a
directory inode, it will be put into a different class.

This should fix a lockdep splat reported by syzbot:

      The 'm' kcore_list item could point to kclist_head, and it is incorrect to
look at m->addr / m->size in this case.

There is no choice but to run through the list of entries for every
address if we did not find any entry in the previous iteration

Reset 'm' to NULL in that case at Omar Sandoval's suggestion.

      fork: report pid exhaustion correctly · f83606f5
      KJ Tsanaktsidis authored 
      Make the clone and fork syscalls return EAGAIN when the limit on the
number of pids /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max is exceeded.

Currently, when the pid_max limit is exceeded, the kernel will return
ENOSPC from the fork and clone syscalls.  This is contrary to the
documented behaviour, which explicitly calls out the pid_max case as one
where EAGAIN should be returned.  It also leads to really confusing error
messages in userspace programs which will complain about a lack of disk
space when they fail to create processes/threads for this reason.

This error is being returned because alloc_pid() uses the idr api to find
a new pid; when there are none available, idr_alloc_cyclic() returns
-ENOSPC, and this is being propagated back to userspace.

This behaviour has been broken before, and was explicitly fixed in
commit 35f71bc0 ("fork: report pid reservation failure properly"),
so I think -EAGAIN is definitely the right thing to return in this case.
The current behaviour change dates from commit 95846ecf ("pid:
replace pid bitmap implementation with IDR AIP") and was I believe
unintentional.

This patch has no impact on the case where allocating a pid fails because
the child reaper for the namespace is dead; that case will still return
-ENOMEM.

      tls: fix currently broken MSG_PEEK behavior · 50c6b58a

In kTLS MSG_PEEK behavior is currently failing, strace example:

  [pid  2430] socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_IP) = 4
  [pid  2430] bind(4, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(0), sin_addr=inet_addr("0.0.0.0")}, 16) = 0
  [pid  2430] listen(4, 10)               = 0

  [pid  2430] connect(3, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(38855), sin_addr=inet_addr("0.0.0.0")}, 16) = 0
  [pid  2430] setsockopt(3, SOL_TCP, 0x1f /* TCP_??? */, [7564404], 4) = 0
  [pid  2430] setsockopt(3, 0x11a /* SOL_?? */, 1, "\3\0033\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 40) = 0
  [pid  2430] accept(4, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(49636), sin_addr=inet_addr("127.0.0.1")}, [16]) = 5
  [pid  2430] setsockopt(5, SOL_TCP, 0x1f /* TCP_??? */, [7564404], 4) = 0
  [pid  2430] setsockopt(5, 0x11a /* SOL_?? */, 2, "\3\0033\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 40) = 0
  [pid  2430] close(4)                    = 0
  [pid  2430] sendto(3, "test_read_peek", 14, 0, NULL, 0) = 14
  [pid  2430] sendto(3, "_mult_recs\0", 11, 0, NULL, 0) = 11
  [pid  2430] recvfrom(5, "test_read_peektest_read_peektest"..., 64, MSG_PEEK, NULL, NULL) = 64

As can be seen from strace, there are two TLS records sent,
i) 'test_read_peek' and ii) '_mult_recs\0' where we end up
peeking 'test_read_peektest_read_peektest'. This is clearly
wrong, and what happens is that given peek cannot call into
tls_sw_advance_skb() to unpause strparser and proceed with
the next skb, we end up looping over the current one, copying
the 'test_read_peek' over and over into the user provided
buffer.

Here, we can only peek into the currently held skb (current,
full TLS record) as otherwise we would end up having to hold
all the original skb(s) (depending on the peek depth) in a
separate queue when unpausing strparser to process next
records, minimally intrusive is to return only up to the
current record's size (which likely was what c46234eb
("tls: RX path for ktls") originally intended as well). Thus,
after patch we properly peek the first record:

====================
hv_netvsc: associate VF and PV device by serial number

The Hyper-V implementation of PCI controller has concept of 32 bit serial number
(not to be confused with PCI-E serial number).  This value is sent in the protocol
from the host to indicate SR-IOV VF device is attached to a synthetic NIC.

Using the serial number (instead of MAC address) to associate the two devices
avoids lots of potential problems when there are duplicate MAC addresses from
tunnels or layered devices.

The patch set is broken into two parts, one is for the PCI controller
and the other is for the netvsc device. Normally, these go through different
trees but sending them together here for better review. The PCI changes
were submitted previously, but the main review comment was "why do you
need this?". This is why.

v2 - slot name can be shorter.
     remove locking when creating pci_slots; see comment for explaination

      hv_netvsc: pair VF based on serial number · 00d7ddba
      Stephen Hemminger authored 
      

Matching network device based on MAC address is problematic
since a non VF network device can be creted with a duplicate MAC
address causing confusion and problems.  The VMBus API does provide
a serial number that is a better matching method.

      PCI: hv: support reporting serial number as slot information · a15f2c08
      Stephen Hemminger authored 
      

The Hyper-V host API for PCI provides a unique "serial number" which
can be used as basis for sysfs PCI slot table. This can be useful
for cases where userspace wants to find the PCI device based on
serial number.

When an SR-IOV NIC is added, the host sends an attach message
with serial number. The kernel doesn't use the serial number, but
it is useful when doing the same thing in a userspace driver such
as the DPDK. By having /sys/bus/pci/slots/N it provides a direct
way to find the matching PCI device.

There maybe some cases where serial number is not unique such
as when using GPU's. But the PCI slot infrastructure will handle
that.

This has a side effect which may also be useful. The common udev
network device naming policy uses the slot information (rather
than PCI address).

      bnxt_en: Fix VF mac address regression. · 28ea334b
      Michael Chan authored 
      

The recent commit to always forward the VF MAC address to the PF for
approval may not work if the PF driver or the firmware is older.  This
will cause the VF driver to fail during probe:

  bnxt_en 0000:00:03.0 (unnamed net_device) (uninitialized): hwrm req_type 0xf seq id 0x5 error 0xffff
  bnxt_en 0000:00:03.0 (unnamed net_device) (uninitialized): VF MAC address 00:00:17:02:05:d0 not approved by the PF
  bnxt_en 0000:00:03.0: Unable to initialize mac address.
  bnxt_en: probe of 0000:00:03.0 failed with error -99

We fix it by treating the error as fatal only if the VF MAC address is
locally generated by the VF.

In the unlikely case ip6_xmit() has to call skb_realloc_headroom(),
we need to call skb_set_owner_w() before consuming original skb,
otherwise we risk a use-after-free.

Bring IPv6 in line with what we do in IPv4 to fix this.

      Colin Ian King authored 
      

The operation ~(p100_inb(VG_LAN_CFG_1) & HP100_LINK_UP) returns a value
that is always non-zero and hence the wait for the link to drop always
terminates prematurely.  Fix this by using a logical not operator instead
of a bitwise complement.  This issue has been in the driver since
pre-2.6.12-rc2.
