[PATCH] ipvs: A couple of fixes and cleanups

[sven.wegener]

Hi guys,

here come a couple of fixes and cleanups for IPVS. Worth mentioning are the two
possible deadlock fixes. One introduced by my last sync daemon work, which
hasn't hit any stable kernel yet. The other one is in the estimator code and
goes back to at leat since we started working with git for the kernel. The
latter I think qualifies for -stable.

I've pushed the changes (8123b42..2e45552) based on davem's net tree here

[PATCH 1/9] ipvs: Fix possible deadlock in sync code

[sven.wegener]

From: Sven Wegener <sven.wegener@stealer.net>

Commit 998e7a76804b7a273a0460c2cdd5a51fa9856717 ("ipvs: Use kthread_run()
instead of doing a double-fork via kernel_thread()") introduced a possible
deadlock in the sync code. We need to use the _bh versions for the lock, as the
lock is also accessed from a bottom half.

[PATCH 2/9] ipvs: Fix possible deadlock in estimator code

[sven.wegener]

From: Sven Wegener <sven.wegener@stealer.net>

There is a slight chance for a deadlock in the estimator code. We can't call
del_timer_sync() while holding our lock, as the timer might be active and
spinning for the lock on another cpu. Work around this issue by using
try_to_del_timer_sync() and releasing the lock. We could actually delete the
timer outside of our lock, as the add and kill functions are only every called
from userspace via [gs]etsockopt() and are serialized by a mutex, but better
make this explicit.

As a side note, just noticed that this opens another race condition, if we 
leave the mutex serializing the [gs]etsockopt calls out:

If the timer reschedules itself, after we just removed the last estimator, 
but we failed to deactivate the timer due to it being active, we have the 
chance of add_timer() on already pending timer during creating a new 
estimator. This will then trigger the BUG_ON() in add_timer(). Thanks to 
the mutex this can't happen currently.

The "ipvs: Embed estimator object into stats object" patch will move to 
code from add_timer() to mod_timer() so at the the end of this series 
we're safe.

No need to do it at runtime and this saves a couple of bytes in the text

[PATCH 6/9] ipvs: Annotate init functions with __init

[sven.wegener]

From: Sven Wegener <sven.wegener@stealer.net>

Being able to discard these functions saves a couple of bytes at runtime. The
cleanup functions can't be annotated with __exit as they are also called from
init functions.

[PATCH 6/9] ipvs: Annotate init functions with __init

[Sven Wegener]

Being able to discard these functions saves a couple of bytes at runtime. The
cleanup functions can't be annotated with __exit as they are also called from
init functions.

There's one more, register_ip_vs_protocol() is also only used during 
initialization.

[PATCH 8/9] ipvs: Embed estimator object into stats object

[Sven Wegener]

There's no reason for dynamically allocating an estimator object for every
stats object. Directly embed an estimator object into every stats object and
switch to using the kernel-provided list implementation. This makes the code
much simpler and faster, as we do not need to traverse the list of all
estimators to find the one belonging to a stats object. There's no need to use
an rwlock, as we only have one reader. Also reorder the members of the
estimator structure slightly to avoid padding overhead. This can't be done
with the stats object as the members are currently copied to our user space
object via memcpy() and changing it would break ABI.

member should precede the lock in ip_vs_stats. Reorder the member of 
ip_vs_estimator to avoid padding.

[PATCH 9/9] ipvs: No need to zero out ip_vs_stats during initialization

[sven.wegener]

From: Sven Wegener <sven.wegener@stealer.net>

It's a global variable and automatically initialized to zero. And now we can
also initialize the lock at compile time.

I've included the register_ip_vs_protocol() annotation. Changes are now 
8123b42..7ead17b. Diffstat has changed slightly, but is probably not worth 
posting again.

Hi Sven,

all these changes seem fine to me.

Acked-by: Simon Horman <horms@verge.net.au>

With regards to ip_vs_zero_stats(), it uses

   memset(stats, 0, (char *)&stats->lock - (char *)stats);

to clear stats and then calls ip_vs_zero_estimator(), which uses

   est->last_conns = 0;
   est->last_inpkts = 0;
   ...

to clear stats->est.

I wonder if it would be cleaner to either clear
stats->... directly in ip_vs_zero_stats(), or use
memset in ip_vs_zero_estimator()?

Something like this...

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

ipvs: Use memset to clear estimator

This makes the code in ip_vs_zero_estimator() a lot closer
to the style of its parent, ip_vs_zero_stats().

Yeah, I wondered about the same. memset is probably simpler, but direct 
assignment makes it more obvious what is changed. Thinking about it, I'd 
prefer direct assignment, when not setting a complete structure to zero 
and there are not more than a handful lines needed to do it with direct 
assignment. But I'm fine with either way here. If we prefer the memset 
way, we should add a comment to both structures, saying that nobody should 
add anything non-statistic before the member we use to get the size.

Also the estimator and statistics structures can be optimized to avoid 
some padding. I'll include these changes and resend.

To be honest I prefer direct assignment too. I think it is less fragile
as the structures can be re-ordered without effecting how clear works.
I'll post a (trivial) patch shortly.

And here it is...

ipvs: Explictly clear ip_vs_status members

In order to align the coding styles of ip_vs_zero_stats() and
its child-function ip_vs_zero_estimator(), clear ip_vs_status
members explicitlty rather than doing a limited memset().

This was chosen over modifying ip_vs_zero_estimator() to use
memset() as it is more robust against changes in members
in the relevant structures. memset() would be prefered if
all members of the structure were to be cleared.

Sadly the layout of the stats structure is shared with user space, so this 
can't be changed easily without breaking ABI.

Sven Wegener (9):
      ipvs: Fix possible deadlock in sync code
      ipvs: Fix possible deadlock in estimator code
      ipvs: Use ARRAY_SIZE()
      ipvs: Use list_empty() instead of open-coding the same functionality
      ipvs: Initialize schedulers' struct list_head at compile time
      ipvs: Annotate init functions with __init
      ipvs: Mark net_vs_ctl_path const
