This eventually results in a GPF in a subsequent call to rb_set_head_page() (usually from rb_get_reader_page()) when that prev pointer is dereferenced. The dereferenced register would characteristically have an address that appears shifted left by one byte (eg, ffxxxxxxxxxxxxyy instead of ffffxxxxxxxxxxxx) due to being written at an address one byte too high.

The problem is that both conditions are multiplexed into the same return code. Avoid this by moving the "copy length" into a separate output parameter and only return 0/-EFAULT in the main return value. I didn't fully adapt the weird "record" variants, those seem to be unused anyways and were rather messy (should they be just removed?) I would appreciate some double checking if I did all the conversions correctly.

* | | | rcu: Give different levels of the rcu_node hierarchy distinct lockdep namesPaul E. McKenney2010-01-131-1/+8

This makes lockdep diagnostics involving these lockdep classes less helpful than would be nice. This patch fixes this by giving each level of the rcu_node hierarchy a distinct name: "rcu_node_level_0", "rcu_node_level_1", and so on.

However, it holds the current rcu_node structure's ->lock field throughout, and doesn't get to the second call to rcu_gp_in_progress() unless there is at least one CPU corresponding to this rcu_node structure that has not yet checked in for the current grace period, which would prevent the current grace period from ending. So the current grace period cannot have ended, and the second check is redundant, so remove it. Also, given that this function is used even with !CONFIG_NO_HZ, its name is quite misleading.

After doing this, it becomes clear that the RCU_SAVE_COMPLETED leg of the force_quiescent_state() function's switch statement is almost completely a no-op. A small change to the RCU_SAVE_DYNTICK leg renders it a complete no-op, after which it can be removed. Doing so also eliminates the forcenow local variable from force_quiescent_state().

This means that we no longer need a return value from rcu_process_dyntick(), as we can simply invoke rcu_gp_in_progress() to check whether the old grace period has finished -- there is no longer any need to worry about whether or not a new grace period has been started.

If the CPU that closed out the last grace period needs another grace period, this new grace period may be delayed up to one scheduling-clock tick, but it will eventually get started.

Or crash the system if there's some hardware with read side effects. The fatal signals handler will dump 16 bytes at the execution address, which is fully controlled by ring 3. In addition when something jumps to a unmapped address there will be up to 16 additional useless page faults, which might be potentially slow (and at least is not very efficient) Fortunately this option is off by default and only there on i386. But fix it by checking for kernel addresses and also stopping when there's a page fault.

(2) if no matching cgroup_pidlist is found, then a new one is allocated, it down_write's its mutex, and the use_count is set to 0. (3) the matching, or new, cgroup_pidlist gets returned back to pidlist_array_load(), which increments its use_count -- regardless whether new or pre-existing -- and up_write's the mutex. So if a matching list is ever encountered by cgroup_pidlist_find() during the life of a cgroup directory, it results in an inflated use_count value, preventing it from ever getting released by cgroup_release_pid_array(). Then if the directory is subsequently removed, cgroup_diput() hits the BUG_ON() when it finds that the directory's cgroup is still populated with a pidlist. The patch simply removes the use_count increment when a matching pidlist is found by cgroup_pidlist_find(), because it gets bumped by the calling pidlist_array_load() function while still protected by the list's mutex.

This way there is a guarantee the syslog won't be flooded for any sane program. The original attempt at this made the tables non const and stored the flag inline. Linus suggested using a separate hash table for this, this is based on a code snippet from him. The hash implies this is not exact and can sometimes not print a new sysctl due to a hash collision, but in practice this should not be a problem I used a FNV32 hash over the binary string with a 32byte bitmap. This gives relatively little collisions when all the predefined binary sysctls are hashed: size 256 bucket length number 0: [25] 1: [67] 2: [88] 3: [47] 4: [22] 5: [6] 6: [1] The worst case is a single collision of 6 hash values.

As demonstrated by Eric, we really need to call __set_task_cpu() early in the fork() path to properly initialize the various task state -- specifically the cgroup state through set_task_rq(). [ we could probably fix this by explicitly calling __set_task_cpu() from sched_fork(), but lets try that for the next cycle and simply revert to the old behaviour for now. ] Reported-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com> Tested-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>, Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: efault@gmx.de LKML-Reference: <1261492999.4937.36.camel@laptop> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
