x86: work around PAGE_KERNEL_WC not getting WC in iomap_atomic_prot_pfn.

In the absence of PAT, PAGE_KERNEL_WC ends up mapping to a memory type that
gets UC behavior even in the presence of a WC MTRR covering the area in

This is the case where a concurrent fault already installed the PTE and
we get to free the newly allocated one.

This is due to pgtable_page_ctor() doing the spin_lock_init(&page->ptl)
which is overlaid with the {private, mapping} struct.

union {
    struct {
        unsigned long private;
        struct address_space *mapping;
    };
    spinlock_t ptl;
    struct kmem_cache *slab;
    struct page *first_page;
};

Normally the spinlock is small enough to not stomp on page->mapping, but
PREEMPT_RT=y has huge 'spin'locks.

But lockdep kernels should also be able to trigger this splat, as the
lock tracking code grows the spinlock to cover page->mapping.

The obvious fix is calling pgtable_page_dtor() like the regular pte free
path __pte_free_tlb() does.

It seems all architectures except x86 and nm10300 already do this, and
nm10300 doesn't seem to use pgtable_page_ctor(), which suggests it
doesn't do SMP or simply doesnt do MMU at all or something.

Impact: fix sporadic slowdowns and warning messages

This patch fixes a performance issue reported by Linus on his
Nehalem system. While Linus reverted the PAT patch (commit
58dab916dfb57328d50deb0aa9b3fc92efa248ff) which exposed the issue,
existing cpa() code can potentially still cause wrong(page attribute
corruption) behavior.

This patch also fixes the "WARNING: at arch/x86/mm/pageattr.c:560" that
various people reported.

In 64bit kernel, kernel identity mapping might have holes depending
on the available memory and how e820 reports the address range
covering the RAM, ACPI, PCI reserved regions. If there is a 2MB/1GB hole
in the address range that is not listed by e820 entries, kernel identity
mapping will have a corresponding hole in its 1-1 identity mapping.

If cpa() happens on the kernel identity mapping which falls into these holes,
existing code fails like this:

__change_page_attr_set_clr()
__change_page_attr()
returns 0 because of if (!kpte). But doesn't
set cpa->numpages and cpa->pfn.
cpa_process_alias()
uses uninitialized cpa->pfn (random value)
which can potentially lead to changing the page
attribute of kernel text/data, kernel identity
mapping of RAM pages etc. oops!

This bug was easily exposed by another PAT patch which was doing
cpa() more often on kernel identity mapping holes (physical range between
max_low_pfn_mapped and 4GB), where in here it was setting the
cache disable attribute(PCD) for kernel identity mappings aswell.

Fix cpa() to handle the kernel identity mapping holes. Retain
the WARN() for cpa() calls to other not present address ranges

15 years agox86: fix assumed to be contiguous leaf page tables for kmap_atomic region (take 2)

x86: fix assumed to be contiguous leaf page tables for kmap_atomic region (take 2)

Debugging and original patch from Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de>

The early fixmap pmd entry inserted at the very top of the KVA is causing the
subsequent fixmap mapping code to not provide physically linear pte pages over
the kmap atomic portion of the fixmap (which relies on said property to
calculate pte addresses).

This has caused weird boot failures in kmap_atomic much later in the boot
process (initial userspace faults) on a 32-bit PAE system with a larger number
of CPUs (smaller CPU counts tend not to run over into the next page so don't
show up the problem).

Solve this by attempting to clear out the page table, and copy any of its
entries to the new one. Also, add a bug if a nonlinear condition is encountered
and can't be resolved, which might save some hours of debugging if this fragile
scheme ever breaks again...

Once we have such logic, we can also use it to eliminate the early ioremap
trickery around the page table setup for the fixmap area. This also fixes
potential issues with FIX_* entries sharing the leaf page table with the early
ioremap ones getting discarded by early_ioremap_clear() and not restored by
early_ioremap_reset(). It at once eliminates the temporary (and configuration,
namely NR_CPUS, dependent) unavailability of early fixed mappings during the
time the fixmap area page tables get constructed.

Finally, also replace the hard coded calculation of the initial table space
needed for the fixmap area with a proper one, allowing kernels configured for
large CPU counts to actually boot.

 pgd = pgd_offset(current->mm ?: &init_mm, address);

 However, for kernel threads current->mm is NULL and hence pgd =
 pgd_offset(init_mm, address) = pgd_ref which means the fault handler
 returns without setting the pgd entry in the MM structure in the context
 of which the kernel thread has faulted.  This could lead to never-ending
 faults and busy looping of kernel threads like pdflush.  So, shouldn't the

15 years agofilesystem freeze: add error handling of write_super_lockfs/unlockfs
Takashi Sato [Sat, 10 Jan 2009 00:40:58 +0000 (16:40 -0800)]
filesystem freeze: add error handling of write_super_lockfs/unlockfs

Currently, ext3 in mainline Linux doesn't have the freeze feature which
suspends write requests.  So, we cannot take a backup which keeps the
filesystem's consistency with the storage device's features (snapshot and
replication) while it is mounted.

In many case, a commercial filesystem (e.g.  VxFS) has the freeze feature
and it would be used to get the consistent backup.

If Linux's standard filesystem ext3 has the freeze feature, we can do it
without a commercial filesystem.

So I have implemented the ioctls of the freeze feature.
I think we can take the consistent backup with the following steps.
1. Freeze the filesystem with the freeze ioctl.
2. Separate the replication volume or create the snapshot
   with the storage device's feature.
3. Unfreeze the filesystem with the unfreeze ioctl.
4. Take the backup from the separated replication volume
   or the snapshot.

This patch:

VFS:
Changed the type of write_super_lockfs and unlockfs from "void"
to "int" so that they can return an error.
Rename write_super_lockfs and unlockfs of the super block operation
freeze_fs and unfreeze_fs to avoid a confusion.

ext3, ext4, xfs, gfs2, jfs:
Changed the type of write_super_lockfs and unlockfs from "void"
to "int" so that write_super_lockfs returns an error if needed,
and unlockfs always returns 0.

reiserfs:
Changed the type of write_super_lockfs and unlockfs from "void"
to "int" so that they always return 0 (success) to keep a current behavior.

x86: only scan the root bus in early PCI quirks

We found a situation on Linus' machine that the Nvidia timer quirk hit on
a Intel chipset system.  The problem is that the system has a fancy Nvidia
card with an own PCI bridge, and the early-quirks code looking for any
NVidia bridge triggered on it incorrectly.  This didn't lead a boot
failure by luck, but the timer routing code selecting the wrong timer
first and some ugly messages.  It might lead to real problems on other
systems.

I checked all the devices which are currently checked for by early_quirks
and it turns out they are all located in the root bus zero.

So change the early-quirks loop to only scan bus 0.  This incidently also
saves quite some unnecessary scanning work, because early_quirks doesn't
go through all the non root busses.

The graphics card is not on bus 0, so it is not matched anymore.
