module: remove over-zealous check in __module_get()

Impact: fix spurious BUG_ON() triggered under load

module_refcount() isn't reliable outside stop_machine(), as demonstrated
by Karsten Keil <kkeil@suse.de>, networking can trigger it under load
(an inc on one cpu and dec on another while module_refcount() is tallying
 can give false results, for example).

Almost noone should be using __module_get, but that's another issue.

'initial_tables[]' array.  This array is currently statically defined (see
./drivers/acpi/tables.c).  When there are more table entries than can be
held in the 'initial_tables[]' array, the message "Truncating N table

This patch fixes the calculation that determines how many table entries
will be missing (truncated).

CRED: Make execve() take advantage of copy-on-write credentials

moved the place in which the 'safeness' of a SUID/SGID exec was performed to
before de_thread() was called.  This means that LSM_UNSAFE_SHARE is now
calculated incorrectly.  This flag is set if any of the usage counts for
fs_struct, files_struct and sighand_struct are greater than 1 at the time the
determination is made.  All of which are true for threads created by the
pthread library.

However, since we wish to make the security calculation before irrevocably
damaging the process so that we can return it an error code in the case where
we decide we want to reject the exec request on this basis, we have to make the
determination before calling de_thread().

So, instead, we count up the number of threads (CLONE_THREAD) that are sharing
our fs_struct (CLONE_FS), files_struct (CLONE_FILES) and sighand_structs
(CLONE_SIGHAND/CLONE_THREAD) with us.  These will be killed by de_thread() and
so can be discounted by check_unsafe_exec().

We do have to be careful because CLONE_THREAD does not imply FS or FILES.

We _assume_ that there will be no extra references to these structs held by the
threads we're going to kill.

This can be tested with the attached pair of programs.  Build the two programs
using the Makefile supplied, and run ./test1 as a non-root user.  If
successful, you should see something like:

PageMappedToDisk() is true upon entry to nobh_write_begin(), then no

different maximum number of devices.
We really should be enforcing this maximum in the kernel, but
we aren't quite doing that properly.

We currently only enforce it at the 'hot_add' point, which is an
older interface which is not used by current userspace.

We need to also enforce it at 'add_new_disk' time for active arrays

So move the test from 'hot_add' into 'bind_rdev_to_array' which is
called from both 'hot_add' and 'add_new_disk, and add a new
test in 'analyse_sbs' which is called from 'do_md_run'.

md: Fix a bug in linear.c causing which_dev() to return the wrong device.

ab5bd5cbc8d4b868378d062eed3d4240930fbb86 introduced the following
bug in linear software raid for large arrays on 32 bit machines:

which_dev() computes the device holding a given sector by shifting
down the sector number to a 32 bit range, dividing by the array
spacing and looking up the resulting index in the hash table of
the array.

Because the computed index might be slightly too small, a loop at
the end of which_dev() increases the index until the given sector
actually falls into the range of the device associated with that index.

The changes of the above mentioned commit caused this loop to check
whether the _index_ rather than the sector number is small enough,
effectively bypassing the loop and thus possibly returning the wrong
device.

As reported by Simon Kirby, this leads to errors such as

linear_make_request: Sector 2340486136 out of bounds on dev sdi: 156301312 sectors, offset 2109870464

Fix this bug by introducing a local variable for the index so that
the variable containing the passed sector is left unchanged.

15 years agowait: prevent exclusive waiter starvation
Johannes Weiner [Wed, 4 Feb 2009 23:12:14 +0000 (15:12 -0800)]
wait: prevent exclusive waiter starvation

With exclusive waiters, every process woken up through the wait queue must
ensure that the next waiter down the line is woken when it has finished.

Interruptible waiters don't do that when aborting due to a signal.  And if
an aborting waiter is concurrently woken up through the waitqueue, noone
will ever wake up the next waiter.

This has been observed with __wait_on_bit_lock() used by
lock_page_killable(): the first contender on the queue was aborting when
the actual lock holder woke it up concurrently.  The aborted contender
didn't acquire the lock and therefor never did an unlock followed by
waking up the next waiter.

Add abort_exclusive_wait() which removes the process' wait descriptor from
the waitqueue, iff still queued, or wakes up the next waiter otherwise.
It does so under the waitqueue lock.  Racing with a wake up means the
aborting process is either already woken (removed from the queue) and will
wake up the next waiter, or it will remove itself from the queue and the
concurrent wake up will apply to the next waiter after it.

Use abort_exclusive_wait() in __wait_event_interruptible_exclusive() and
__wait_on_bit_lock() when they were interrupted by other means than a wake
up through the queue.

revert "rlimit: permit setting RLIMIT_NOFILE to RLIM_INFINITY"

Revert commit 0c2d64fb6cae9aae480f6a46cfe79f8d7d48b59f because it causes
(arguably poorly designed) existing userspace to spend interminable
periods closing billions of not-open file descriptors.

We could bring this back, with some sort of opt-in tunable in /proc, which
defaults to "off".

Peter's alanysis follows:

: I spent several hours trying to get to the bottom of a serious
: performance issue that appeared on one of our servers after upgrading to
: 2.6.28.  In the end it's what could be considered a userspace bug that
: was triggered by a change in 2.6.28.  Since this might also affect other
: people I figured I'd at least document what I found here, and maybe we
: can even do something about it:
:
:
: So, I upgraded some of debian.org's machines to 2.6.28.1 and immediately
: the team maintaining our ftp archive complained that one of their
: scripts that previously ran in a few minutes still hadn't even come
: close to being done after an hour or so.  Downgrading to 2.6.27 fixed
: that.
:
: Turns out that script is forking a lot and something in it or python or
: whereever closes all the file descriptors it doesn't want to pass on.
: That is, it starts at zero and goes up to ulimit -n/RLIMIT_NOFILE and
: closes them all with a few exceptions.
:
: Turns out that takes a long time when your limit -n is now 2^20 (1048576).
:
: With 2.6.27.* the ulimit -n was the standard 1024, but with 2.6.28 it is
: now a thousand times that.
:
: 2.6.28 included a patch titled "rlimit: permit setting RLIMIT_NOFILE to
: RLIM_INFINITY" (0c2d64fb6cae9aae480f6a46cfe79f8d7d48b59f)[1] that
: allows, as the title implies, to set the limit for number of files to
: infinity.
:
: Closer investigation showed that the broken default ulimit did not apply
: to "system" processes (like stuff started from init).  In the end I
: could establish that all processes that passed through pam_limit at one
: point had the bad resource limit.
:
: Apparently the pam library in Debian etch (4.0) initializes the limits
: to some default values when it doesn't have any settings in limit.conf
: to override them.  Turns out that for nofiles this is RLIM_INFINITY.
: Commenting out "case RLIMIT_NOFILE" in pam_limit.c:267 of our pam
: package version 0.79-5 fixes that - tho I'm not sure what side effects
: that has.
:
: Debian lenny (the upcoming 5.0 version) doesn't have this issue as it
: uses a different pam (version).

If if a given leaf or node has a reference count greater than one,
the reference count is decremented and the subtree pointed to by that
node is ignored.

If the reference count is one, walking continues down into that node
or leaf, and the references of everything it points to are decremented.

The old code would try to work in small pieces, walking down the tree
until it found the lowest leaf or node to free and then returning.  This
was very friendly to the rest of the FS because it didn't have a huge
impact on other operations.

But it wouldn't always keep up with the rate that new commits added new
snapshots for deletion, and it wasn't very optimal for the extent
allocation tree because it wasn't finding leaves that were close together
on disk and processing them at the same time.

This changes things to walk down to a level 1 node and then process it
in bulk.  All the leaf pointers are sorted and the leaves are dropped
in order based on their extent number.

The extent allocation tree and commit code are now fast enough for
this kind of bulk processing to work without slowing the rest of the FS
down.  Overall it does less IO and is better able to keep up with
snapshot deletions under high load.
