2015-08-03tty: remove platform_sysrq_reset_seqArnd Bergmann
commit ffb6e0c9a0572f8e5f8e9337a1b40ac2ec1493a1 upstream. The platform_sysrq_reset_seq code was intended as a way for an embedded platform to provide its own sysrq sequence at compile time. After over two years, nobody has started using it in an upstream kernel, and the platforms that were interested in it have moved on to devicetree, which can be used to configure the sequence without requiring kernel changes. The method is also incompatible with the way that most architectures build support for multiple platforms into a single kernel. Now the code is producing warnings when built with gcc-5.1: drivers/tty/sysrq.c: In function 'sysrq_init': drivers/tty/sysrq.c:959:33: warning: array subscript is above array bounds [-Warray-bounds] key = platform_sysrq_reset_seq[i]; We could fix this, but it seems unlikely that it will ever be used, so let's just remove the code instead. We still have the option to pass the sequence either in DT, using the kernel command line, or using the /sys/module/sysrq/parameters/reset_seq file.

2015-03-09workqueue: dump workqueues on sysrq-tTejun Heo
Workqueues are used extensively throughout the kernel but sometimes it's difficult to debug stalls involving work items because visibility into its inner workings is fairly limited. Although sysrq-t task dump annotates each active worker task with the information on the work item being executed, it is challenging to find out which work items are pending or delayed on which queues and how pools are being managed. This patch implements show_workqueue_state() which dumps all busy workqueues and pools and is called from the sysrq-t handler. At the end of sysrq-t dump, something like the following is printed. Showing busy workqueues and worker pools: ... workqueue filler_wq: flags=0x0 pwq 2: cpus=1 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=0 active=2/256 in-flight: 491:filler_workfn, 507:filler_workfn pwq 0: cpus=0 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=0 active=2/256 in-flight: 501:filler_workfn pending: filler_workfn ... workqueue test_wq: flags=0x8 pwq 2: cpus=1 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=0 active=1/1 in-flight: 510(RESCUER):test_workfn BAR(69) BAR(500) delayed: test_workfn1 BAR(492), test_workfn2 ... pool 0: cpus=0 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=0 workers=2 manager: 137 pool 2: cpus=1 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=0 workers=3 manager: 469 pool 3: cpus=1 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=-20 workers=2 idle: 16 pool 8: cpus=0-3 flags=0x4 nice=0 workers=2 manager: 62 The above shows that test_wq is executing test_workfn() on pid 510 which is the rescuer and also that there are two tasks 69 and 500 waiting for the work item to finish in flush_work(). As test_wq has max_active of 1, there are two work items for test_workfn1() and test_workfn2() which are delayed till the current work item is finished. In addition, pid 492 is flushing test_workfn1(). The work item for test_workfn() is being executed on pwq of pool 2 which is the normal priority per-cpu pool for CPU 1. The pool has three workers, two of which are executing filler_workfn() for filler_wq and the last one is assuming the manager role trying to create more workers. This extra workqueue state dump will hopefully help chasing down hangs involving workqueues. v3: cpulist_pr_cont() replaced with "%*pbl" printf formatting. v2: As suggested by Andrew, minor formatting change in pr_cont_work(), printk()'s replaced with pr_info()'s, and cpumask printing now uses cpulist_pr_cont().

2015-02-11oom, PM: make OOM detection in the freezer path racelessMichal Hocko
Commit 5695be142e20 ("OOM, PM: OOM killed task shouldn't escape PM suspend") has left a race window when OOM killer manages to note_oom_kill after freeze_processes checks the counter. The race window is quite small and really unlikely and partial solution deemed sufficient at the time of submission. Tejun wasn't happy about this partial solution though and insisted on a full solution. That requires the full OOM and freezer's task freezing exclusion, though. This is done by this patch which introduces oom_sem RW lock and turns oom_killer_disable() into a full OOM barrier. oom_killer_disabled check is moved from the allocation path to the OOM level and we take oom_sem for reading for both the check and the whole OOM invocation. oom_killer_disable() takes oom_sem for writing so it waits for all currently running OOM killer invocations. Then it disable all the further OOMs by setting oom_killer_disabled and checks for any oom victims. Victims are counted via mark_tsk_oom_victim resp. unmark_oom_victim. The last victim wakes up all waiters enqueued by oom_killer_disable(). Therefore this function acts as the full OOM barrier. The page fault path is covered now as well although it was assumed to be safe before. As per Tejun, "We used to have freezing points deep in file system code which may be reacheable from page fault." so it would be better and more robust to not rely on freezing points here. Same applies to the memcg OOM killer. out_of_memory tells the caller whether the OOM was allowed to trigger and the callers are supposed to handle the situation. The page allocation path simply fails the allocation same as before. The page fault path will retry the fault (more on that later) and Sysrq OOM trigger will simply complain to the log. Normally there wouldn't be any unfrozen user tasks after try_to_freeze_tasks so the function will not block. But if there was an OOM killer racing with try_to_freeze_tasks and the OOM victim didn't finish yet then we have to wait for it. This should complete in a finite time, though, because - the victim cannot loop in the page fault handler (it would die on the way out from the exception) - it cannot loop in the page allocator because all the further allocation would fail and __GFP_NOFAIL allocations are not acceptable at this stage - it shouldn't be blocked on any locks held by frozen tasks (try_to_freeze expects lockless context) and kernel threads and work queues are not frozen yet Signed-off-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.cz> Suggested-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Cc: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Cc: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Cc: Cong Wang <xiyou.wangcong@gmail.com> Cc: "Rafael J.

2014-08-06mm, oom: ensure memoryless node zonelist always includes zonesDavid Rientjes
With memoryless node support being worked on, it's possible that for optimizations that a node may not have a non-NULL zonelist. When CONFIG_NUMA is enabled and node 0 is memoryless, this means the zonelist for first_online_node may become NULL. The oom killer requires a zonelist that includes all memory zones for the sysrq trigger and pagefault out of memory handler. Ensure that a non-NULL zonelist is always passed to the oom killer.

2014-06-06sysrq: rcu-ify __handle_sysrqRik van Riel
Echoing values into /proc/sysrq-trigger seems to be a popular way to get information out of the kernel. However, dumping information about thousands of processes, or hundreds of CPUs to serial console can result in IRQs being blocked for minutes, resulting in various kinds of cascade failures. The most common failure is due to interrupts being blocked for a very long time. This can lead to things like failed IO requests, and other things the system cannot easily recover from. This problem is easily fixable by making __handle_sysrq use RCU instead of spin_lock_irqsave. This leaves the warning that RCU grace periods have not elapsed for a long time, but the system will come back from that automatically. It also leaves sysrq-from-irq-context when the sysrq keys are pressed, but that is probably desired since people want that to work in situations where the system is already hosed. The callers of register_sysrq_key and unregister_sysrq_key appear to be capable of sleeping.

2013-02-27sysrq: don't depend on weak undefined arrays to have an address that ↵Linus Torvalds
compares as NULL When taking an address of an extern array, gcc quite naturally should be able to say "an address of an object can never be NULL" and just optimize away the test entirely. However, the new alternate sysrq reset code (commit 154b7a489a5b: "Input: sysrq - allow specifying alternate reset sequence") did exactly that, and declared platform_sysrq_reset_seq[] as a weak array, and expecting that testing the address of the array would show whether it actually got linked against something or not. And that doesn't work with all gcc versions. Clearly it works with *some* versions of gcc, and maybe it's even supposed to work, but it really is a very fragile concept. So instead of testing the address of the weak variable, just create a weak instance of that array that is empty. If some platform then has a real platform_sysrq_reset_seq[] that overrides our weak one, the linker will switch to that one, and it all works without any run-time conditionals at all.

Change send_sig_all() to use do_send_sig_info(SEND_SIG_FORCED) instead of force_sig(SIGKILL). With the recent changes we do not need force_ to kill the CLONE_NEWPID tasks. And this is more correct. force_sig() can race with the exiting thread, while do_send_sig_info(group => true) kill the whole process. Some more notes from Oleg Nesterov: > Just one note. This change makes no difference for sysrq_handle_kill(). > But it obviously changes the behaviour sysrq_handle_term(). I think > this is fine, if you want to really kill the task which blocks/ignores > SIGTERM you can use sysrq_handle_kill(). > > Even ignoring the reasons why force_sig() is simply wrong here, > force_sig(SIGTERM) looks strange.

2012-03-21mm, oom: force oom kill on sysrq+fDavid Rientjes
The oom killer chooses not to kill a thread if: - an eligible thread has already been oom killed and has yet to exit, and - an eligible thread is exiting but has yet to free all its memory and is not the thread attempting to currently allocate memory. SysRq+F manually invokes the global oom killer to kill a memory-hogging task. This is normally done as a last resort to free memory when no progress is being made or to test the oom killer itself. For both uses, we always want to kill a thread and never defer. This patch causes SysRq+F to always kill an eligible thread and can be used to force a kill even if another oom killed thread has failed to exit.

This patch fixes the issue by checking for PF_KTHREAD (just as get_task_mm()).

2012-02-09sysrq: Fix possible race with exiting taskAnton Vorontsov
sysrq should grab the tasklist lock, otherwise calling force_sig() is not safe, as it might race with exiting task, which ->sighand might be set to NULL already.

2012-01-03fs: move code out of buffer.cAl Viro
Move invalidate_bdev, block_sync_page into fs/block_dev.c. Export kill_bdev as well, so brd doesn't have to open code it. Reduce buffer_head.h requirement accordingly. Removed a rather large comment from invalidate_bdev, as it looked a bit obsolete to bother moving. The small comment replacing it says enough.

2011-03-24lib, arch: add filter argument to show_mem and fix private implementationsDavid Rientjes
Commit ddd588b5dd55 ("oom: suppress nodes that are not allowed from meminfo on oom kill") moved lib/show_mem.o out of lib/lib.a, which resulted in build warnings on all architectures that implement their own versions of show_mem(): lib/lib.a(show_mem.o): In function `show_mem': show_mem.c:(.text+0x1f4): multiple definition of `show_mem' arch/sparc/mm/built-in.o:(.text+0xd70): first defined here The fix is to remove __show_mem() and add its argument to show_mem() in all implementations to prevent this breakage. Architectures that implement their own show_mem() actually don't do anything with the argument yet, but they could be made to filter nodes that aren't allowed in the current context in the future just like the generic implementation.
