16 years agomm: fix boundary checking in free_bootmem_core

mm: fix boundary checking in free_bootmem_core

With numa enabled, some callers could have a range of memory on one node
but try to free that on other node.  This can cause some pages to be
freed wrongly.

For example: when we try to allocate 128g boot ram early for
gart/swiotlb, and free that range later so gart/swiotlb can get some
range afterwards.

With this patch, we don't need to care which node holds the range, just
loop to call free_bootmem_node for all online nodes.

This patch makes free_bootmem_core() more robust by trimming the sidx
and eidx according the ram range that the node has.

And make the free_bootmem_core handle this out of range case.  We could
use bdata_list to make sure the range can be freed for sure.  So next
time, we don't need to loop online nodes and could use free_bootmem
directly.

Roland Dreier [Mon, 24 Mar 2008 16:03:03 +0000 (12:03 -0400)]
SVCRDMA: Use only 1 RDMA read scatter entry for iWARP adapters

The iWARP protocol limits RDMA read requests to a single scatter
entry.  NFS/RDMA has code in rdma_read_max_sge() that is supposed to
limit the sge_count for RDMA read requests to 1, but the code to do
that is inside an #ifdef RDMA_TRANSPORT_IWARP block.  In the mainline
kernel at least, RDMA_TRANSPORT_IWARP is an enum and not a
preprocessor #define, so the #ifdef'ed code is never compiled.

In my test of a kernel build with -j8 on an NFS/RDMA mount, this
problem eventually leads to trouble starting with:

    svcrdma: Error posting send = -22
    svcrdma : RDMA_READ error = -22

and things go downhill from there.

The trivial fix is to delete the #ifdef guard.  The check seems to be
a remnant of when the NFS/RDMA code was not merged and needed to
compile against multiple kernel versions, although I don't think it
ever worked as intended.  In any case now that the code is upstream
there's no need to test whether the RDMA_TRANSPORT_IWARP constant is
defined or not.

Without this patch, my kernel build on an NFS/RDMA mount using NetEffect
adapters quickly and 100% reproducibly failed with an error like:

    ld: final link failed: Software caused connection abort

With the patch applied I was able to complete a kernel build on the
same setup.

(Tom Tucker says this is "actually an _ancient_ remnant when it had to
compile against iWARP vs. non-iWARP enabled OFA trees.")

[POWERPC] Fix Oops with TQM5200 on TQM5200

static struct of_device_id mpc52xx_bcom_of_match[] = {

{ .type = "dma-controller", .compatible = "mpc5200-bestcomm", },
{},
};

so while registering the driver, the driver's probe function won't be
called, because the device tree node doesn't have a device_type
property.  Thus the driver's bcom_engine structure won't be allocated.
Referencing this structure later causes observed Oops.

Checking bcom_eng pointer for NULL before referencing data pointed
by it prevents oopsing, but fec driver still doesn't work (because
of the lost bestcomm match and resulted task allocation failure).
Actually the compatible property exists and should match and so
the fec driver should work.

This removes .type = "dma-controller" from the bestcomm driver's
mpc52xx_bcom_of_match table to solve the problem.

Herbert Xu [Sat, 22 Mar 2008 22:47:05 +0000 (15:47 -0700)]
[TCP]: Let skbs grow over a page on fast peers

While testing the virtio-net driver on KVM with TSO I noticed
that TSO performance with a 1500 MTU is significantly worse
compared to the performance of non-TSO with a 16436 MTU.  The
packet dump shows that most of the packets sent are smaller
than a page.

Looking at the code this actually is quite obvious as it always
stop extending the packet if it's the first packet yet to be
sent and if it's larger than the MSS.  Since each extension is
bound by the page size, this means that (given a 1500 MTU) we're
very unlikely to construct packets greater than a page, provided
that the receiver and the path is fast enough so that packets can
always be sent immediately.

The fix is also quite obvious.  The push calls inside the loop
is just an optimisation so that we don't end up doing all the
sending at the end of the loop.  Therefore there is no specific
reason why it has to do so at MSS boundaries.  For TSO, the
most natural extension of this optimisation is to do the pushing
once the skb exceeds the TSO size goal.

This is what the patch does and testing with KVM shows that the
TSO performance with a 1500 MTU easily surpasses that of a 16436
MTU and indeed the packet sizes sent are generally larger than
16436.

I don't see any obvious downsides for slower peers or connections,
but it would be prudent to test this extensively to ensure that
those cases don't regress.

16 years ago[SPARC64]: Remove most limitations to kernel image size.
David S. Miller [Sat, 22 Mar 2008 00:01:38 +0000 (17:01 -0700)]
[SPARC64]: Remove most limitations to kernel image size.

Currently kernel images are limited to 8MB in size, and this causes
problems especially when enabling features that take up a lot of
kernel image space such as lockdep.

The code now will align the kernel image size up to 4MB and map that
many locked TLB entries.  So, the only practical limitation is the
number of available locked TLB entries which is 16 on Cheetah and 64
on pre-Cheetah sparc64 cpus.  Niagara cpus don't actually have hw
locked TLB entry support.  Rather, the hypervisor transparently
provides support for "locked" TLB entries since it runs with physical
addressing and does the initial TLB miss processing.

Fully utilizing this change requires some help from SILO, a patch for
which will be submitted to the maintainer.  Essentially, SILO will
only currently map up to 8MB for the kernel image and that needs to be
increased.

Note that neither this patch nor the SILO bits will help with network
booting.  The openfirmware code will only map up to a certain amount
of kernel image during a network boot and there isn't much we can to
about that other than to implemented a layered network booting
facility.  Solaris has this, and calls it "wanboot" and we may
implement something similar at some point.

Patrick McHardy [Thu, 20 Mar 2008 23:11:27 +0000 (16:11 -0700)]
[TCP]: Fix shrinking windows with window scaling

When selecting a new window, tcp_select_window() tries not to shrink
the offered window by using the maximum of the remaining offered window
size and the newly calculated window size. The newly calculated window
size is always a multiple of the window scaling factor, the remaining
window size however might not be since it depends on rcv_wup/rcv_nxt.
This means we're effectively shrinking the window when scaling it down.

The dump below shows the problem (scaling factor 2^7):

- Window size of 557 (71296) is advertised, up to 3111907257:

IP 172.2.2.3.33000 > 172.2.2.2.33000: . ack 3111835961 win 557 <...>

- New window size of 514 (65792) is advertised, up to 3111907217, 40 bytes
  below the last end:

IP 172.2.2.3.33000 > 172.2.2.2.33000: . 3113575668:3113577116(1448) ack 3111841425 win 514 <...>

The number 40 results from downscaling the remaining window:

3111907257 - 3111841425 = 65832
65832 / 2^7 = 514
65832 % 2^7 = 40

If the sender uses up the entire window before it is shrunk, this can have
chaotic effects on the connection. When sending ACKs, tcp_acceptable_seq()
will notice that the window has been shrunk since tcp_wnd_end() is before
tp->snd_nxt, which makes it choose tcp_wnd_end() as sequence number.
This will fail the receivers checks in tcp_sequence() however since it
is before it's tp->rcv_wup, making it respond with a dupack.

If both sides are in this condition, this leads to a constant flood of
ACKs until the connection times out.

Make sure the window is never shrunk by aligning the remaining window to
the window scaling factor.

Pavel Emelyanov [Thu, 20 Mar 2008 22:39:41 +0000 (15:39 -0700)]
audit: netlink socket can be auto-bound to pid other than current->pid (v2)

From: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@openvz.org>

This patch is based on the one from Thomas.

The kauditd_thread() calls the netlink_unicast() and passes
the audit_pid to it. The audit_pid, in turn, is received from
the user space and the tool (I've checked the audit v1.6.9)
uses getpid() to pass one in the kernel. Besides, this tool
doesn't bind the netlink socket to this id, but simply creates
it allowing the kernel to auto-bind one.

That's the preamble.

The problem is that netlink_autobind() _does_not_ guarantees
that the socket will be auto-bound to the current pid. Instead
it uses the current pid as a hint to start looking for a free
id. So, in case of conflict, the audit messages can be sent
to a wrong socket. This can happen (it's unlikely, but can be)
in case some task opens more than one netlink sockets and then
the audit one starts - in this case the audit's pid can be busy
and its socket will be bound to another id.

The proposal is to introduce an audit_nlk_pid in audit subsys,
that will point to the netlink socket to send packets to. It
will most often be equal to audit_pid. The socket id can be
got from the skb's netlink CB right in the audit_receive_msg.
The audit_nlk_pid reset to 0 is not required, since all the
decisions are taken based on audit_pid value only.

Later, if the audit tools will bind the socket themselves, the
kernel will have to provide a way to setup the audit_nlk_pid
as well.

A good side effect of this patch is that audit_pid can later
be converted to struct pid, as it is not longer safe to use
pid_t-s in the presence of pid namespaces. But audit code still
uses the tgid from task_struct in the audit_signal_info and in
the audit_filter_syscall.

[SCTP]: Fix a race between module load and protosw access

There is a race is SCTP between the loading of the module
and the access by the socket layer to the protocol functions.
In particular, a list of addresss that SCTP maintains is
not initialized prior to the registration with the protosw.
Thus it is possible for a user application to gain access
to SCTP functions before everything has been initialized.
The problem shows up as odd crashes during connection
initializtion when we try to access the SCTP address list.

The solution is to refactor how we do registration and
initialize the lists prior to registering with the protosw.
Care must be taken since the address list initialization
depends on some other pieces of SCTP initialization.  Also
the clean-up in case of failure now also needs to be refactored.

Serge Hallyn [Fri, 29 Feb 2008 15:14:57 +0000 (15:14 +0000)]
file capabilities: remove cap_task_kill()

The original justification for cap_task_kill() was as follows:

check_kill_permission() does appropriate uid equivalence checks.
However with file capabilities it becomes possible for an
unprivileged user to execute a file with file capabilities
resulting in a more privileged task with the same uid.

However now that cap_task_kill() always returns 0 (permission
granted) when p->uid==current->uid, the whole hook is worthless,
and only likely to create more subtle problems in the corner cases
where it might still be called but return -EPERM.  Those cases
are basically when uids are different but euid/suid is equivalent
as per the check in check_kill_permission().

One example of a still-broken application is 'at' for non-root users.

This patch removes cap_task_kill().
