The LOCK and UNLOCK barriers as described in our barrier document are generally known as ACQUIRE and RELEASE barriers in other literature. Since we plan to introduce the acquire and release nomenclature in generic kernel primitives we should amend the document to avoid confusion as to what an acquire/release means. Reviewed-by:

When mutex debugging is enabled and an imbalanced mutex_unlock() is called, we get the following, slightly confusing warning: [ 364.208284] DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(lock->owner != current) But in that case the warning is due to an imbalanced mutex_unlock() call, and the lock->owner is NULL - so the message is misleading. So improve the message by testing for this case specifically: DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(!lock->owner) Signed-off-by:

Paul E. McKenney authored
The powerpc lock acquisition sequence is as follows: lwarx; cmpwi; bne; stwcx.; lwsync; Lock release is as follows: lwsync; stw; If CPU 0 does a store (say, x=1) then a lock release, and CPU 1 does a lock acquisition then a load (say, r1=y), then there is no guarantee of a full memory barrier between the store to 'x' and the load from 'y'. To see this, suppose that CPUs 0 and 1 are hardware threads in the same core that share a store buffer, and that CPU 2 is in some other core, and that CPU 2 does the following: y = 1; sync; r2 = x; If 'x' and 'y' are both initially zero, then the lock acquisition and release sequences above can result in r1 and r2 both being equal to zero, which could not happen if unlock+lock was a full barrier. This commit therefore makes powerpc's smp_mb__after_unlock_lock() be a full barrier. Signed-off-by:

RCU must ensure that there is the equivalent of a full memory barrier between any memory access preceding grace period and any memory access following that same grace period, regardless of which CPU(s) happen to execute the two memory accesses. Therefore, downgrading UNLOCK+LOCK to no longer imply a full memory barrier requires some adjustments to RCU. This commit therefore adds smp_mb__after_unlock_lock() invocations as needed after the RCU lock acquisitions that need to be part of a full-memory-barrier UNLOCK+LOCK. Signed-off-by:

Historically, an UNLOCK+LOCK pair executed by one CPU, by one task, or on a given lock variable has implied a full memory barrier. In a recent LKML thread, the wisdom of this historical approach was called into question: http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-mm/msg65653.html, in part due to the memory-order complexities of low-handoff-overhead queued locks on x86 systems. This patch therefore removes this guarantee from the documentation, and further documents how to restore it via a new smp_mb__after_unlock_lock() primitive. Signed-off-by:

Paul E. McKenney authored
The Linux kernel has traditionally required that an UNLOCK+LOCK pair act as a full memory barrier when either (1) that UNLOCK+LOCK pair was executed by the same CPU or task, or (2) the same lock variable was used for the UNLOCK and LOCK. It now seems likely that very few places in the kernel rely on this full-memory-barrier semantic, and with the advent of queued locks, providing this semantic either requires complex reasoning, or for some architectures, added overhead. This commit therefore adds a smp_mb__after_unlock_lock(), which may be placed after a LOCK primitive to restore the full-memory-barrier semantic. All definitions are currently no-ops, but will be upgraded for some architectures when queued locks arrive. Signed-off-by:

For NUMA systems, initializing the blk-mq layer and using per node hctx. We initialize submit queues to 1, while blk-mq nr_hw_queues is initialized to the number of NUMA nodes. This makes the null_init_hctx function overwrite memory outside of what it allocated. In my case it lead to writing garbage into struct request_queue's mq_map. Signed-off-by:

Reverting the commit in the rawhide kernel fixes the problem. Eric Paris root-caused it to incorrect subtype matching in that commit breaking fuse, and has a tentative patch, but by now we're better off retrying this in 3.14 rather than playing with it any more.

This makes the new support for substituting a dummy regulator and optional regulators work a lot better on DT systems since it ensures that we don't trigger probe deferral when we shouldn't which was causing bugs in clients" * tag 'regulator-v3.13-rc3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/regulator: regulator: pfuze100: allow misprogrammed ID regulator: pfuze100: Fix address of FABID regulator: as3722: set the correct current limit regulator: core: Check for DT every time we check full constraints regulator: core: Replace checks of have_full_constraints with a function

An old array block could have its reference count decremented below zero when it is being replaced in the btree by a new array block. The fix is to increment the old ablock's reference count just before inserting a new ablock into the btree. Signed-off-by:

The old behaviour, returning -EINVAL if a ref_count of 0 would be decremented, was removed in commit f722063e ("dm space map: optimise sm_ll_dec and sm_ll_inc"). To fix this regression we return an error code from the mutator function pointer passed to sm_ll_mutate() and have dec_ref_count() return -EINVAL if the old ref_count is 0. Add a DMERR to reflect the potential seriousness of this error. Also, add missing dm_tm_unlock() to sm_ll_mutate()'s error path. With this fix the following dmts regression test now passes: dmtest run --suite cache -n /metadata_use_kernel/ The next patch fixes the higher-level dm-array code that exposed this regression.

Commit 49426420 ("mm: memcg: handle non-error OOM situations more gracefully") allowed tasks that already entered a memcg OOM condition to bypass the memcg limit on subsequent allocation attempts hoping this would expedite finishing the page fault and executing the kill. David Rientjes is worried that this breaks memcg isolation guarantees and since there is no evidence that the bypass actually speeds up fault processing just change it so that these subsequent charge attempts fail outright. The notable exception being __GFP_NOFAIL charges which are required to bypass the limit regardless. Signed-off-by:

There is a race condition between a memcg being torn down and a swapin triggered from a different memcg of a page that was recorded to belong to the exiting memcg on swapout (with CONFIG_MEMCG_SWAP extension). The result is unreclaimable pages pointing to dead memcgs, which can lead to anything from endless loops in later memcg teardown (the page is charged to all hierarchical parents but is not on any LRU list) or crashes from following the dangling memcg pointer. Memcgs with tasks in them can not be torn down and usually charges don't show up in memcgs without tasks. Swapin with the CONFIG_MEMCG_SWAP extension is the notable exception because it charges the cgroup that was recorded as owner during swapout, which may be empty and in the process of being torn down when a task in another memcg triggers the swapin: teardown: swapin: lookup_swap_cgroup_id() rcu_read_lock() mem_cgroup_lookup() css_tryget() rcu_read_unlock() disable css_tryget() call_rcu() offline_css() reparent_charges() res_counter_charge() (hierarchical!) css_put() css_free() pc->mem_cgroup = dead memcg add page to dead lru Add a final reparenting step into css_free() to make sure any such raced charges are moved out of the memcg before it's finally freed. In the longer term it would be cleaner to have the css_tryget() and the res_counter charge under the same RCU lock section so that the charge reparenting is deferred until the last charge whose tryget succeeded is visible. But this will require more invasive changes that will be harder to evaluate and backport into stable, so better defer them to a separate change set. Signed-off-by:

It means we need to move them to other PMD table if huge PMD moved there. Signed-off-by:
