* notifier: Fix broken error handling patternPeter Zijlstra2020-09-011-56/+88
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current notifiers have the following error handling pattern all over the place: int err, nr; err = __foo_notifier_call_chain(&chain, val_up, v, -1, &nr); if (err & NOTIFIER_STOP_MASK) __foo_notifier_call_chain(&chain, val_down, v, nr-1, NULL) And aside from the endless repetition thereof, it is broken. Consider blocking notifiers; both calls take and drop the rwsem, this means that the notifier list can change in between the two calls, making @nr meaningless. Fix this by replacing all the __foo_notifier_call_chain() functions with foo_notifier_call_chain_robust() that embeds the above pattern, but ensures it is inside a single lock region. Note: I switched atomic_notifier_call_chain_robust() to use the spinlock, since RCU cannot provide the guarantee required for the recovery. Note: software_resume() error handling was broken afaict.

* x86/mm: split vmalloc_sync_all()Joerg Roedel2020-03-211-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 3f8fd02b1bf1 ("mm/vmalloc: Sync unmappings in __purge_vmap_area_lazy()") introduced a call to vmalloc_sync_all() in the vunmap() code-path. While this change was necessary to maintain correctness on x86-32-pae kernels, it also adds additional cycles for architectures that don't need it. Specifically on x86-64 with CONFIG_VMAP_STACK=y some people reported severe performance regressions in micro-benchmarks because it now also calls the x86-64 implementation of vmalloc_sync_all() on vunmap(). But the vmalloc_sync_all() implementation on x86-64 is only needed for newly created mappings. To avoid the unnecessary work on x86-64 and to gain the performance back, split up vmalloc_sync_all() into two functions: * vmalloc_sync_mappings(), and * vmalloc_sync_unmappings() Most call-sites to vmalloc_sync_all() only care about new mappings being synchronized. The only exception is the new call-site added in the above mentioned commit. Shile Zhang directed us to a report of an 80% regression in reaim throughput.

* kernel/notifier.c: intercept duplicate registrations to avoid infinite loopsXiaoming Ni2019-12-041-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Registering the same notifier to a hook repeatedly can cause the hook list to form a ring or lose other members of the list. case1: An infinite loop in notifier_chain_register() can cause soft lockup atomic_notifier_chain_register(&test_notifier_list, &test1); atomic_notifier_chain_register(&test_notifier_list, &test1); atomic_notifier_chain_register(&test_notifier_list, &test2); case2: An infinite loop in notifier_chain_register() can cause soft lockup atomic_notifier_chain_register(&test_notifier_list, &test1); atomic_notifier_chain_register(&test_notifier_list, &test1); atomic_notifier_call_chain(&test_notifier_list, 0, NULL); case3: lose other hook test2 atomic_notifier_chain_register(&test_notifier_list, &test1); atomic_notifier_chain_register(&test_notifier_list, &test2); atomic_notifier_chain_register(&test_notifier_list, &test1); case4: Unregister returns 0, but the hook is still in the linked list, and it is not really registered. If you call notifier_call_chain after ko is unloaded, it will trigger oops. If the system is configured with softlockup_panic and the same hook is repeatedly registered on the panic_notifier_list, it will cause a loop panic.

* kernel/notifier.c: double register detectionVasily Averin2019-05-141-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | By design notifiers can be registerd once only, 2nd register attempt called by mistake silently corrupts notifiers list. A few years ago I investigated described problem, the host was power cycled because of notifier list corruption. I've prepared this patch and applied it to the OpenVZ kernel and sent this patch but nobody commented on it. Later it helped us to detect a similar problem in the OpenVz kernel. Mistakes with notifier registration can happen for example during subsystem initialization from different namespaces, or because of a lost unregister in the roll-back path on initialization failures. The proposed check cannot prevent the described problem, however it allows us to detect its reason quickly without coredump analysis.

* Add kernel/notifier.cAlexey Dobriyan2007-10-191-0/+539
There is separate notifier header, but no separate notifier .c file. Extract notifier code out of kernel/sys.c which will remain for misc syscalls I hope. Merge kernel/die_notifier.c into kernel/notifier.c.
