[PATCH RT 0/6] Linux 3.2.55-rt79-rc1

[PATCH RT 0/6] Linux 3.2.55-rt79-rc1

[Steven Rostedt]

Dear RT Folks,

This is the RT stable review cycle of patch 3.2.55-rt79-rc1.

Please scream at me if I messed something up. Please test the patches too.

The -rc release will be uploaded to kernel.org and will be deleted when
the final release is out. This is just a review release (or release candidate).

The pre-releases will not be pushed to the git repository, only the
final release is.

If all goes well, this patch will be converted to the next main release
on 3/7/2014.

Enjoy,

-- Steve

[PATCH RT 1/6] rcutree/rcu_bh_qs: disable irq while calling rcu_preempt_qs()

[Steven Rostedt]

[-- Attachment #1: 0001-rcutree-rcu_bh_qs-disable-irq-while-calling-rcu_pree.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1594 bytes --]

3.2.55-rt79-rc1 stable review patch.
If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Tiejun Chen <tiejun.chen@windriver.com>

Any callers to the function rcu_preempt_qs() must disable irqs in
order to protect the assignment to ->rcu_read_unlock_special. In
RT case, rcu_bh_qs() as the wrapper of rcu_preempt_qs() is called
in some scenarios where irq is enabled, like this path,

do_single_softirq()
    |
    + local_irq_enable();
    + handle_softirq()
    |    |
    |    + rcu_bh_qs()
    |        |
    |        + rcu_preempt_qs()
    |
    + local_irq_disable()

So here we'd better disable irq directly inside of rcu_bh_qs() to
fix this, otherwise the kernel may be freezable sometimes as
observed. And especially this way is also kind and safe for the
potential rcu_bh_qs() usage elsewhere in the future.

[PATCH RT 2/6] Revert "x86: Disable IST stacks for debug/int 3/stack fault for PREEMPT_RT"

[-- Attachment #1: 0002-Revert-x86-Disable-IST-stacks-for-debug-int-3-stack-.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 4368 bytes --]

3.2.55-rt79-rc1 stable review patch.
If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@linutronix.de>

where do I start. Let me explain what is going on here. The code
sequence
| pushf
| pop    %edx
| or     $0x1,%dh
| push   %edx
| mov    $0xe0,%eax
| popf
| sysenter

triggers the bug. On 64bit kernel we see the double fault (with 32bit and
64bit userland) and on 32bit kernel there is no problem. The reporter said
that double fault does not happen on 64bit kernel with 64bit userland and
this is because in that case the VDSO uses the "syscall" interface instead
of "sysenter".

The bug. "popf" loads the flags with the TF bit set which enables
"single stepping" and this leads to a debug exception. Usually on 64bit
we have a special IST stack for the debug exception. Due to patch [0] we
do not use the IST stack but the kernel stack instead. On 64bit the
sysenter instruction starts in kernel with the stack address NULL. The
code sequence above enters the debug exception (TF flag) after the
sysenter instruction was executed which sets the stack pointer to NULL
and we have a fault (it seems that the debug exception saves some bytes
on the stack).
To fix the double fault I'm going to drop patch [0]. It is completely
pointless. In do_debug() and do_stack_segment() we disable preemption
which means the task can't leave the CPU. So it does not matter if we run
on IST or on kernel stack.
There is a patch [1] which drops preempt_disable() call for a 32bit
kernel but not for 64bit so there should be no regression.
And [1] seems valid even for this code sequence. We enter the debug
exception with a 256bytes long per cpu stack and migrate to the kernel
stack before calling do_debug().

[PATCH RT 3/6] rt: Make cpu_chill() use hrtimer instead of msleep()

[Steven Rostedt]

[-- Attachment #1: 0003-rt-Make-cpu_chill-use-hrtimer-instead-of-msleep.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 3757 bytes --]

3.2.55-rt79-rc1 stable review patch.
If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

Ulrich Obergfell pointed out that cpu_chill() calls msleep() which is woken
up by the ksoftirqd running the TIMER softirq. But as the cpu_chill() is
called from softirq context, it may block the ksoftirqd() from running, in
which case, it may never wake up the msleep() causing the deadlock.

I checked the vmcore, and irq/74-qla2xxx is stuck in the msleep() call,
running on CPU 8. The one ksoftirqd that is stuck, happens to be the one that
runs on CPU 8, and it is blocked on a lock held by irq/74-qla2xxx. As that
ksoftirqd is the one that will wake up irq/74-qla2xxx, and it happens to be
blocked on a lock that irq/74-qla2xxx holds, we have our deadlock.

The solution is not to convert the cpu_chill() back to a cpu_relax() as that
will re-create a possible live lock that the cpu_chill() fixed earlier, and may
also leave this bug open on other softirqs. The fix is to remove the
dependency on ksoftirqd from cpu_chill(). That is, instead of calling
msleep() that requires ksoftirqd to wake it up, use the
hrtimer_nanosleep() code that does the wakeup from hard irq context.

|Looks to be the lock of the block softirq. I don't have the core dump
|anymore, but from what I could tell the ksoftirqd was blocked on the
|block softirq lock, where the block softirq handler did a msleep
|(called by the qla2xxx interrupt handler).
|
|Looking at trigger_softirq() in block/blk-softirq.c, it can do a
|smp_callfunction() to another cpu to run the block softirq. If that
|happens to be the cpu where the qla2xx irq handler is doing the block
|softirq and is in a middle of a msleep(), I believe the ksoftirqd will
|try to run the softirq. If it does that, then BOOM, it's deadlocked
|because the ksoftirqd will never run the timer softirq either.

|I should have also stated that it was only one lock that was involved.
|But the lock owner was doing a msleep() that requires a wakeup by
|ksoftirqd to continue. If ksoftirqd happens to be blocked on a lock
|held by the msleep() caller, then you have your deadlock.
|
|It's best not to have any softirqs going to sleep requiring another
|softirq to wake it up. Note, if we ever require a timer softirq to do a
|cpu_chill() it will most definitely hit this deadlock.

Now that you posted "cpu_chill: Add a UNINTERRUPTIBLE
hrtimer_nanosleep" wouldn't it make sense to delay this patches from
the stable series until we get them all in one go?

Sure, say this on the day I'm about to release ;-)

Nah, I'll release these today anyway. Otherwise I can't update to the
mainline stables. When the rc candidates are out, it holds up any new
updates to the versions.

Also, the stable 3.10 has this bug already. Might as well update all
the stables with the same fix. It makes it easier on my side, as the
way I do the updates is to use the same quilt queue for all releases. I
start with 3.10, and get them working, and then apply the same queue to
3.8. Any conflicts in the patch I do a quilt fork, with a -v3.8
appended, and then after getting that working I go to 3.4, and so on.
This also lets me drop patches that are not applicable for earlier
releases.

If I delay this for a new update, then 3.10 will be out of sync. I'm
just going to release these, and then we can start a new one right away.

Thanks!

Mostly unwind is done with irqs enabled however SLUB may call it with
irqs disabled while creating a new SLUB cache.

I had system freeze while loading a module which called
kmem_cache_create() on init. That means SLUB's __slab_alloc() disabled
interrupts and then

->new_slab_objects()
 ->new_slab()
  ->setup_object()
   ->setup_object_debug()
    ->init_tracking()
     ->set_track()

         ->unwind_frame()
          ->unwind_find_idx()

[PATCH RT 0/6] Linux 3.4.82-rt101-rc1

[Steven Rostedt]

Dear RT Folks,

This is the RT stable review cycle of patch 3.4.82-rt101-rc1.

Please scream at me if I messed something up. Please test the patches too.

The -rc release will be uploaded to kernel.org and will be deleted when
the final release is out. This is just a review release (or release candidate).

The pre-releases will not be pushed to the git repository, only the
final release is.

If all goes well, this patch will be converted to the next main release
on 3/7/2014.

Enjoy,

-- Steve

Since we replaced msleep() by hrtimer I see now and then (rarely) this:

For now I see no better way but to disable the freezer the sleep the period.
