net: phy: Trigger state machine on state change and not polling.
The phy_start() is used to indicate the PHY is now ready to do its
work. The state is changed, normally to PHY_UP which means that both
the MAC and the PHY are ready.
If the phy driver is using polling, when the next poll happens, the
state machine notices the PHY is now in PHY_UP, and kicks off
auto-negotiation, if needed.
If however, the PHY is using interrupts, there is no polling. The phy
is stuck in PHY_UP until the next interrupt comes along. And there is
no reason for the PHY to interrupt.
Have phy_start() schedule the state machine to run, which both speeds
up the polling use case, and makes the interrupt use case actually
work.
This problems exists whenever there is a state change which will not
cause an interrupt. Trigger the state machine in these cases,
e.g. phy_error().

It contains sticky gfp_mask for page cache allocations and AS_ codes used

Condensing the two semantically unrelated things saves few bytes but it
also complicates other things. For one thing the gfp flags space is
reduced and in fact we are already running out of available bits. It can
be assumed that more gfp flags will be necessary later on.
To not introduce the address_space grow (at least on x86_64) we can stick

kthread: allow to modify delayed kthread work
There are situations when we need to modify the delay of a delayed kthread
work. For example, when the work depends on an event and the initial delay
means a timeout. Then we want to queue the work immediately when the event
happens.
This patch implements kthread_mod_delayed_work() as inspired workqueues.
It cancels the timer, removes the work from any worker list and queues it
again with the given timeout.
A very special case is when the work is being canceled at the same time.
It might happen because of the regular kthread_cancel_delayed_work_sync()
or by another kthread_mod_delayed_work(). In this case, we do nothing and
let the other operation win. This should not normally happen as the caller
is supposed to synchronize these operations a reasonable way.

kthread: allow to cancel kthread work
We are going to use kthread workers more widely and sometimes we will need
to make sure that the work is neither pending nor running.
This patch implements cancel_*_sync() operations as inspired by
workqueues. Well, we are synchronized against the other operations via
the worker lock, we use del_timer_sync() and a counter to count parallel
cancel operations. Therefore the implementation might be easier.
First, we check if a worker is assigned. If not, the work has newer been
queued after it was initialized.
Second, we take the worker lock. It must be the right one. The work must
not be assigned to another worker unless it is initialized in between.
Third, we try to cancel the timer when it exists. The timer is deleted
synchronously to make sure that the timer call back is not running. We
need to temporary release the worker->lock to avoid a possible deadlock
with the callback. In the meantime, we set work->canceling counter to
avoid any queuing.
Fourth, we try to remove the work from a worker list. It might be
the list of either normal or delayed works.
Fifth, if the work is running, we call kthread_flush_work(). It might
take an arbitrary time. We need to release the worker-lock again. In the
meantime, we again block any queuing by the canceling counter.
As already mentioned, the check for a pending kthread work is done under a
lock. In compare with workqueues, we do not need to fight for a single
PENDING bit to block other operations. Therefore we do not suffer from
the thundering storm problem and all parallel canceling jobs might use

kthread: initial support for delayed kthread work
We are going to use kthread_worker more widely and delayed works
will be pretty useful.
The implementation is inspired by workqueues. It uses a timer to queue
the work after the requested delay. If the delay is zero, the work is
queued immediately.
In compare with workqueues, each work is associated with a single worker
(kthread). Therefore the implementation could be much easier. In
particular, we use the worker->lock to synchronize all the operations with
the work. We do not need any atomic operation with a flags variable.
In fact, we do not need any state variable at all. Instead, we add a list
of delayed works into the worker. Then the pending work is listed either
in the list of queued or delayed works. And the existing check of pending
works is the same even for the delayed ones.
A work must not be assigned to another worker unless reinitialized.
Therefore the timer handler might expect that dwork->work->worker is valid
and it could simply take the lock. We just add some sanity checks to help
with debugging a potential misuse.

kthread: detect when a kthread work is used by more workers
Nothing currently prevents a work from queuing for a kthread worker when
it is already running on another one. This means that the work might run
in parallel on more than one worker. Also some operations are not
reliable, e.g. flush.
This problem will be even more visible after we add kthread_cancel_work()
function. It will only have "work" as the parameter and will use
worker->lock to synchronize with others.
Well, normally this is not a problem because the API users are sane.
But bugs might happen and users also might be crazy.
This patch adds a warning when we try to insert the work for another
worker. It does not fully prevent the misuse because it would make the
code much more complicated without a big benefit.
It adds the same warning also into kthread_flush_work() instead of the
repeated attempts to get the right lock.
A side effect is that one needs to explicitly reinitialize the work if it
must be queued into another worker. This is needed, for example, when the
worker is stopped and started again. It is a bit inconvenient. But it
looks like a good compromise between the stability and complexity.
I have double checked all existing users of the kthread worker API and
they all seems to initialize the work after the worker gets started.
Just for completeness, the patch adds a check that the work is not already
in a queue.
The patch also puts all the checks into a separate function. It will be
reused when implementing delayed works.

kthread: add kthread_create_worker*()
Kthread workers are currently created using the classic kthread API,
namely kthread_run(). kthread_worker_fn() is passed as the @threadfn
parameter.
This patch defines kthread_create_worker() and
kthread_create_worker_on_cpu() functions that hide implementation details.
They enforce using kthread_worker_fn() for the main thread. But I doubt
that there are any plans to create any alternative. In fact, I think that
we do not want any alternative main thread because it would be hard to
support consistency with the rest of the kthread worker API.
The naming and function of kthread_create_worker() is inspired by the
workqueues API like the rest of the kthread worker API.
The kthread_create_worker_on_cpu() variant is motivated by the original
kthread_create_on_cpu(). Note that we need to bind per-CPU kthread
workers already when they are created. It makes the life easier.
kthread_bind() could not be used later for an already running worker.
This patch does _not_ convert existing kthread workers. The kthread
worker API need more improvements first, e.g. a function to destroy the
worker.
IMPORTANT:
kthread_create_worker_on_cpu() allows to use any format of the worker
name, in compare with kthread_create_on_cpu(). The good thing is that it
is more generic. The bad thing is that most users will need to pass the
cpu number in two parameters, e.g. kthread_create_worker_on_cpu(cpu,
"helper/%d", cpu).
To be honest, the main motivation was to avoid the need for an empty
va_list. The only legal way was to create a helper function that would be
called with an empty list. Other attempts caused compilation warnings or
even errors on different architectures.
There were also other alternatives, for example, using #define or
splitting __kthread_create_worker(). The used solution looked like the
least ugly.

The CPU binding is a bit tricky. The kthread is parked when the CPU has

The function would be useful for more per-CPU kthreads, e.g.

kthread: kthread worker API cleanup
A good practice is to prefix the names of functions by the name
of the subsystem.
The kthread worker API is a mix of classic kthreads and workqueues. Each
worker has a dedicated kthread. It runs a generic function that process
queued works. It is implemented as part of the kthread subsystem.
This patch renames the existing kthread worker API to use
the corresponding name from the workqueues API prefixed by
kthread_:
Note that the names of DEFINE_KTHREAD_WORK*() macros stay
as they are. It is common that the "DEFINE_" prefix has
precedence over the subsystem names.
Note that INIT() macros and init() functions use different
naming scheme. There is no good solution. There are several
reasons for this solution:
+ "init" in the function names stands for the verb "initialize"
aka "initialize worker". While "INIT" in the macro names
stands for the noun "INITIALIZER" aka "worker initializer".
+ INIT() macros are used only in DEFINE() macros
+ init() functions are used close to the other kthread()
functions. It looks much better if all the functions
use the same scheme.
+ There will be also kthread_destroy_worker() that will
be used close to kthread_cancel_work(). It is related
to the init() function. Again it looks better if all
functions use the same naming scheme.
+ there are several precedents for such init() function
names, e.g. amd_iommu_init_device(), free_area_init_node(),
jump_label_init_type(), regmap_init_mmio_clk(),
+ It is not an argument but it was inconsistent even before.

Blocked tasks queued in q_senders waiting for their message to fit in the
queue are blindly awoken every time we think there's a remote chance this

herd-ish) bogus wakeups if the queue is still really full. Adding to the
scheduling cost/overhead, there's also the fact that we need to take the
ipc object lock and requeue ourselves in the q_senders list.
By keeping track of the blocked sender's message size, we can know
previously if the wakeup ought to occur or not. Otherwise, to maintain
the current wakeup order we just move it to the tail. This is exactly
what occurs right now if the sender needs to go back to sleep.
The case of EIDRM is left completely untouched, as we need to wakeup all
the tasks, and shouldn't be playing games in the first place.

the waiter is woken up once the message has been assigned and it does not
need to loop on SMP if the message points to NULL. In the signal case we
still need to check the pointer under the lock to verify the state.
This change should also avoid the introduction of preempt_disable() in -RT
which avoids a busy-loop which pools for the NULL -> !NULL change if the
waiter has a higher priority compared to the waker.
By making use of wake_qs, the logic of sysv msg queues is greatly

ipc/sem.c: fix complex_count vs. simple op race
Commit 6d07b68ce16a ("ipc/sem.c: optimize sem_lock()") introduced a
race:
sem_lock has a fast path that allows parallel simple operations.
There are two reasons why a simple operation cannot run in parallel:
- a non-simple operations is ongoing (sma->sem_perm.lock held)
- a complex operation is sleeping (sma->complex_count != 0)
As both facts are stored independently, a thread can bypass the current
checks by sleeping in the right positions. See below for more details
(or kernel bugzilla 105651).
The patch fixes that by creating one variable (complex_mode)
that tracks both reasons why parallel operations are not possible.
The patch also updates stale documentation regarding the locking.
With regards to stable kernels:
The patch is required for all kernels that include the
commit 6d07b68ce16a ("ipc/sem.c: optimize sem_lock()") (3.10?)
The alternative is to revert the patch that introduced the race.
The patch is safe for backporting, i.e. it makes no assumptions
about memory barriers in spin_unlock_wait().
Background:
Here is the race of the current implementation:
Thread A: (simple op)
- does the first "sma->complex_count == 0" test
Thread B: (complex op)
- does sem_lock(): This includes an array scan. But the scan can't
find Thread A, because Thread A does not own sem->lock yet.
- the thread does the operation, increases complex_count,
drops sem_lock, sleeps
Thread A:
- spin_lock(&sem->lock), spin_is_locked(sma->sem_perm.lock)
- sleeps before the complex_count test
Thread C: (complex op)
- does sem_lock (no array scan, complex_count==1)
- wakes up Thread B.
- decrements complex_count
Thread A:
- does the complex_count test
Bug:
Now both thread A and thread C operate on the same array, without
any synchronization.
There's no point in collecting coverage from lib/stackdepot.c, as it is
not a function of syscall inputs. Disabling kcov instrumentation for that
file will reduce the coverage noise level.

relay: use plain timer instead of delayed work
relay doesn't need to use schedule_delayed_work() for waking readers
when a simple timer will do.
Scheduling a plain timer, at next jiffies boundary, to do the wakeup
causes a significant wakeup latency for the Userspace client, which makes
relay less suitable for the high-frequency low-payload use cases where the
data gets generated at a very high rate, like multiple sub buffers getting
filled within a milli second. Moreover the timer is re-scheduled on every
newly produced sub buffer so the timer keeps getting pushed out if sub
buffers are filled in a very quick succession (less than a jiffy gap
between filling of 2 sub buffers). As a result relay runs out of sub
buffers to store the new data.
By using irq_work it is ensured that wakeup of userspace client, blocked
in the poll call, is done at earliest (through self IPI or next timer
tick) enabling it to always consume the data in time. Also this makes
relay consistent with printk & ring buffers (trace), as they too use
irq_work for deferred wake up of readers.

CONFIG_NO_HZ currently only sets the default value of dynticks config so
if PPS kernel consumer needs periodic timer ticks it should depend on
!CONFIG_NO_HZ_COMMON instead of !CONFIG_NO_HZ.
Otherwise it is possible to enable it even on tickless system which has
CONFIG_NO_HZ not set and CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE (or CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL) set.

mips/panic: replace smp_send_stop() with kdump friendly version in panic path
Daniel Walker reported problems which happens when
crash_kexec_post_notifiers kernel option is enabled
(https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/6/24/44).
In that case, smp_send_stop() is called before entering kdump routines
which assume other CPUs are still online. As the result, kdump
routines fail to save other CPUs' registers. Additionally for MIPS
OCTEON, it misses to stop the watchdog timer.
To fix this problem, call a new kdump friendly function,
crash_smp_send_stop(), instead of the smp_send_stop() when
crash_kexec_post_notifiers is enabled. crash_smp_send_stop() is a
weak function, and it just call smp_send_stop(). Architecture
codes should override it so that kdump can work appropriately.
This patch provides MIPS version.

In that case, smp_send_stop() is called before entering kdump routines

random: simplify API for random address requests
To date, all callers of randomize_range() have set the length to 0, and
check for a zero return value. For the current callers, the only way to
get zero returned is if end <= start. Since they are all adding a
constant to the start address, this is unnecessary.
We can remove a bunch of needless checks by simplifying the API to do just
what everyone wants, return an address between [start, start + range).
While we're here, s/get_random_int/get_random_long/. No current call site
is adversely affected by get_random_int(), since all current range
requests are < UINT_MAX. However, we should match caller expectations to
avoid coming up short (ha!) in the future.
All current callers to randomize_range() chose to use the start address if
randomize_range() failed. Therefore, we simplify things by just returning
the start address on error.
randomize_range() will be removed once all callers have been converted
over to randomize_addr().

pipe: cap initial pipe capacity according to pipe-max-size limit
This is a patch that provides behavior that is more consistent, and
probably less surprising to users. I consider the change optional, and
welcome opinions about whether it should be applied.
By default, pipes are created with a capacity of 64 kiB. However,
/proc/sys/fs/pipe-max-size may be set smaller than this value. In this
scenario, an unprivileged user could thus create a pipe whose initial
capacity exceeds the limit. Therefore, it seems logical to cap the
initial pipe capacity according to the value of pipe-max-size.
The test program shown earlier in this patch series can be used to
demonstrate the effect of the change brought about with this patch:
The last two executions of 'test_F_SETPIPE_SZ' show that pipe-max-size
caps the initial allocation for a new pipe for unprivileged users, but
not for privileged users.
pipe: make account_pipe_buffers() return a value, and use it
This is an optional patch, to provide a small performance
improvement. Alter account_pipe_buffers() so that it returns the
new value in user->pipe_bufs. This means that we can refactor
too_many_pipe_buffers_soft() and too_many_pipe_buffers_hard() to
avoid the costs of repeated use of atomic_long_read() to get the
value user->pipe_bufs.
The limit checking in alloc_pipe_info() (used by pipe(2) and when
opening a FIFO) has the following problems:
(1) When checking capacity required for the new pipe, the checks against
the limit in /proc/sys/fs/pipe-user-pages-{soft,hard} are made
against existing consumption, and exclude the memory required for
the new pipe capacity. As a consequence: (1) the memory allocation
throttling provided by the soft limit does not kick in quite as
early as it should, and (2) the user can overrun the hard limit.
(2) As currently implemented, accounting and checking against the limits
is done as follows:
(a) Test whether the user has exceeded the limit.
(b) Make new pipe buffer allocation.
(c) Account new allocation against the limits.
This is racey. Multiple processes may pass point (a) simultaneously,
and then allocate pipe buffers that are accounted for only in step
(c). The race means that the user's pipe buffer allocation could be
pushed over the limit (by an arbitrary amount, depending on how
unlucky we were in the race). [Thanks to Vegard Nossum for spotting
this point, which I had missed.]
This patch addresses the above problems as follows:
* Alter the checks against limits to include the memory required for the
new pipe.
* Re-order the accounting step so that it precedes the buffer allocation.
If the accounting step determines that a limit has been reached, revert
the accounting and cause the operation to fail.
Replace an 'if' block that covers most of the code in this function
with a 'goto'. This makes the code a little simpler to read, and also
simplifies the next patch (fix limit checking in alloc_pipe_info())
The limit checking in pipe_set_size() (used by fcntl(F_SETPIPE_SZ))
has the following problems:
(1) When increasing the pipe capacity, the checks against the limits in
/proc/sys/fs/pipe-user-pages-{soft,hard} are made against existing
consumption, and exclude the memory required for the increased pipe
capacity. The new increase in pipe capacity can then push the total
memory used by the user for pipes (possibly far) over a limit. This
can also trigger the problem described next.
(2) The limit checks are performed even when the new pipe capacity is
less than the existing pipe capacity. This can lead to problems if a
user sets a large pipe capacity, and then the limits are lowered,
with the result that the user will no longer be able to decrease the
pipe capacity.
(3) As currently implemented, accounting and checking against the
limits is done as follows:
(a) Test whether the user has exceeded the limit.
(b) Make new pipe buffer allocation.
(c) Account new allocation against the limits.
This is racey. Multiple processes may pass point (a)
simultaneously, and then allocate pipe buffers that are accounted
for only in step (c). The race means that the user's pipe buffer
allocation could be pushed over the limit (by an arbitrary amount,
depending on how unlucky we were in the race). [Thanks to Vegard
Nossum for spotting this point, which I had missed.]
This patch addresses the above problems as follows:
* Perform checks against the limits only when increasing a pipe's
capacity; an unprivileged user can always decrease a pipe's capacity.
* Alter the checks against limits to include the memory required for
the new pipe capacity.
* Re-order the accounting step so that it precedes the buffer
allocation. If the accounting step determines that a limit has
been reached, revert the accounting and cause the operation to fail.
The program below can be used to demonstrate problems 1 and 2, and the
effect of the fix. The program takes one or more command-line arguments.
The first argument specifies the number of pipes that the program should
create. The remaining arguments are, alternately, pipe capacities that
should be set using fcntl(F_SETPIPE_SZ), and sleep intervals (in
seconds) between the fcntl() operations. (The sleep intervals allow the
possibility to change the limits between fcntl() operations.)
Problem 1
=========
Using the test program on an unpatched kernel, we first set some
limits:
There is a small chance that the change to fix this problem could
break user-space, since there are cases where fcntl(F_SETPIPE_SZ)
calls that previously succeeded might fail. However, the chances are
small, since (a) the pipe-user-pages-{soft,hard} limits are new (in
4.5), and the default soft/hard limits are high/unlimited. Therefore,
it seems warranted to make these limits operate more precisely (and
behave more like what users probably expect).
Problem 2
=========
Running the test program on an unpatched kernel, we first set some limits:
Now perform two fcntl(F_SETPIPE_SZ) operations on a single pipe,
first setting a pipe capacity (10MB), sleeping for a few seconds,
during which time the hard limit is lowered, and then set pipe
capacity to a smaller amount (5MB):
v2
* Switch order of test in 'if' statement to avoid function call
(to capability()) in normal path. [This is a fix to a preexisting
wart in the code. Thanks to Willy Tarreau]
* Perform (size > pipe_max_size) check before calling
account_pipe_buffers(). [Thanks to Vegard Nossum]
Quoting Vegard:
The potential problem happens if the user passes a very large number
which will overflow pipe->user->pipe_bufs.
On 32-bit, sizeof(int) == sizeof(long), so if they pass arg = INT_MAX
then round_pipe_size() returns INT_MAX. Although it's true that the
accounting is done in terms of pages and not bytes, so you'd need on
the order of (1 << 13) = 8192 processes hitting the limit at the same
time in order to make it overflow, which seems a bit unlikely.
(See https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/8/12/215 for another discussion on the
limit checking)
pipe: refactor argument for account_pipe_buffers()
This is a preparatory patch for following work. account_pipe_buffers()
performs accounting in the 'user_struct'. There is no need to pass a
pointer to a 'pipe_inode_info' struct (which is then dereferenced to
obtain a pointer to the 'user' field). Instead, pass a pointer directly
to the 'user_struct'. This change is needed in preparation for a
subsequent patch that the fixes the limit checking in alloc_pipe_info()
(and the resulting code is a little more logical).
pipe: move limit checking logic into pipe_set_size()
This is a preparatory patch for following work. Move the F_SETPIPE_SZ
limit-checking logic from pipe_fcntl() into pipe_set_size(). This
simplifies the code a little, and allows for reworking required in
a later patch that fixes the limit checking in pipe_set_size()
When changing a pipe's capacity with fcntl(F_SETPIPE_SZ), various limits
defined by /proc/sys/fs/pipe-* files are checked to see if unprivileged
users are exceeding limits on memory consumption.
While documenting and testing the operation of these limits I noticed
that, as currently implemented, these checks have a number of problems:
(1) When increasing the pipe capacity, the checks against the limits
in /proc/sys/fs/pipe-user-pages-{soft,hard} are made against
existing consumption, and exclude the memory required for the
increased pipe capacity. The new increase in pipe capacity can then
push the total memory used by the user for pipes (possibly far) over
a limit. This can also trigger the problem described next.
(2) The limit checks are performed even when the new pipe capacity
is less than the existing pipe capacity. This can lead to problems
if a user sets a large pipe capacity, and then the limits are
lowered, with the result that the user will no longer be able to
decrease the pipe capacity.
(3) As currently implemented, accounting and checking against the
limits is done as follows:
(a) Test whether the user has exceeded the limit.
(b) Make new pipe buffer allocation.
(c) Account new allocation against the limits.
This is racey. Multiple processes may pass point (a) simultaneously,
and then allocate pipe buffers that are accounted for only in step
(c). The race means that the user's pipe buffer allocation could be
pushed over the limit (by an arbitrary amount, depending on how
unlucky we were in the race). [Thanks to Vegard Nossum for spotting
this point, which I had missed.]
This patch series addresses these three problems.
This patch (of 8):
This is a minor preparatory patch. After subsequent patches,
round_pipe_size() will be called from pipe_set_size(), so place
round_pipe_size() above pipe_set_size().
Having this in autofs_i.h gives illusion that uncommenting this enables
pr_debug(), but it doesn't enable all the pr_debug() in autofs because
inclusion order matters.
XFS has the same DEBUG macro in its core header fs/xfs/xfs.h, however XFS
seems to have a rule to include this prior to other XFS headers as well as
kernel headers. This is not the case with autofs, and DEBUG could be
enabled via Makefile, so autofs should just get rid of this comment to
make the code less confusing. It's a comment, so there is literally no
functional difference.

autofs: remove AUTOFS_DEVID_LEN
This macro was never used by neither kernel nor userspace, and also
doesn't represent "devid length" in bytes. (unless it was added to mean
something else).

kprobes: include <asm/sections.h> instead of <asm-generic/sections.h>
asm-generic headers are generic implementations for architecture specific
code and should not be included by common code. Thus use the asm/ version
of sections.h to get at the linker sections.
