memory hotplug: fix early allocation handling

results in

bootmem alloc of 163840 bytes failed!
Kernel panic - not syncing: Out of memory

This is caused by zone_wait_table_init() which uses system_state to decide
if it should use the bootmem allocator or not.

When initcalls are handled the system_state is still SYSTEM_BOOTING but

looking for a page.  It in turn calls first_zones_zonelist() which returns
a preferred_zone.  Where there are no applicable zones this will be NULL.
However we use this unconditionally, leading to this panic.

brd: don't show ramdisks in /proc/partitions

In 2.6.25, ramdisk devices show up in /proc/partitions, which is a
behaviour change from the old rd.c.  Add GENHD_FL_SUPPRESS_PARTITION_INFO,
which was present in rd.c.

All kernels prior to 2.6.25 weren't displaying ramdisks in
/proc/partitions.  Since there are many userspace tools using information
from /proc/partitions some of them may now behave incorrectly (I didn't
tested any though).  For example before 2.6.25 /proc/partitions was empty
if no block devices like hard disks and such were detected by kernel.  Now
all 16 ramdisks are always visible there.  Some software may rely on such
information (I mean, on empty /proc/partitions).

There was quite similar situation back in 2004, and ramdisks were excluded
back from displaying.  Thats why I called this a regression (maybe a bit
unfortunate).  See this patch for info:
http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.3-rc2/2.6.3-rc2-mm1/broken-out/nbd-proc-partitions-fix.patch

I also think that someone somewhere (long time ago) excluded ramdisks from
/proc/partitions for good reasons.  It is possible that now such new
"feature" is harmless, but I think there are more chances that someone
will say "hey, /proc/partitions has changed, now my software doesn't work"
then "hey where did my new 2.6.25 feature go".  nbd devices are also
excluded, maybe for very same (unknown to me) reasons.

16 years agomd: restart recovery cleanly after device failure.
NeilBrown [Fri, 23 May 2008 20:04:39 +0000 (13:04 -0700)]
md: restart recovery cleanly after device failure.

When we get any IO error during a recovery (rebuilding a spare), we abort
the recovery and restart it.

For RAID6 (and multi-drive RAID1) it may not be best to restart at the
beginning: when multiple failures can be tolerated, the recovery may be
able to continue and re-doing all that has already been done doesn't make
sense.

We already have the infrastructure to record where a recovery is up to
and restart from there, but it is not being used properly.
This is because:
  - We sometimes abort with MD_RECOVERY_ERR rather than just MD_RECOVERY_INTR,
    which causes the recovery not be be checkpointed.
  - We remove spares and then re-added them which loses important state
    information.

The distinction between MD_RECOVERY_ERR and MD_RECOVERY_INTR really isn't
needed.  If there is an error, the relevant drive will be marked as
Faulty, and that is enough to ensure correct handling of the error.  So we
first remove MD_RECOVERY_ERR, changing some of the uses of it to
MD_RECOVERY_INTR.

Then we cause the attempt to remove a non-faulty device from an array to
fail (unless recovery is impossible as the array is too degraded).  Then
when remove_and_add_spares attempts to remove the devices on which
recovery can continue, it will fail, they will remain in place, and
recovery will continue on them as desired.

Issue:  If we are halfway through rebuilding a spare and another drive
fails, and a new spare is immediately available,  do we want to:
 1/ complete the current rebuild, then go back and rebuild the new spare or
 2/ restart the rebuild from the start and rebuild both devices in
    parallel.

Both options can be argued for.  The code currently takes option 2 as
  a/ this requires least code change
  b/ this results in a minimally-degraded array in minimal time.

We use the same 'bio' for both read and write, resetting various fields
between the two operations.

We forgot to reset bv_offset and bv_len however.  These are often left
unchanged, but in the case where there is an IO error one or two sectors
into a page, they are changed.

This results in correctable errors not being corrected properly.  It does
not result in any data corruption.

filesystem we might overwrite the page contents if two callers hit it
shortly after each other. To prevent that we need to keep the page locked
until I/O is completed and the page marked uptodate.

Thanks to Eric Sandeen for triaging this bug and finding a reproducible
testcase and Dave Chinner for additional advice.

This should fix kernel.org bz #10421.

xfs_fsync() fails to wait for data I/O completion before checking if the

misses inode size updates when the data flushed by the fsync() is
extending the file.

Hence, like fdatasync(), we need to wait for I/o completion first, then
check the inode for cleanliness. Doing so makes the behaviour of
xfs_fsync() identical for fsync and fdatasync and we *always* use
synchronous semantics if the inode is dirty. Therefore also kill the
differences and remove the unused flags from the xfs_fsync function and
callers.

stop_machine: make stop_machine_run more virtualization friendly

On kvm I have seen some rare hangs in stop_machine when I used more guest
cpus than hosts cpus. e.g. 32 guest cpus on 1 host cpu triggered the
hang quite often. I could also reproduce the problem on a 4 way z/VM host with
a 64 way guest.

It turned out that the guest was consuming all available cpus mostly for
spinning on scheduler locks like rq->lock. This is expected as the threads are
calling yield all the time.
The problem is now, that the host scheduling decisings together with the guest
scheduling decisions and spinlocks not being fair managed to create an
interesting scenario similar to a live lock. (Sometimes the hang resolved
itself after some minutes)

Changing stop_machine to yield the cpu to the hypervisor when yielding inside
the guest fixed the problem for me. While I am not completely happy with this
patch, I think it causes no harm and it really improves the situation for me.

I used cpu_relax for yielding to the hypervisor, does that work on all
architectures?

p.s.: If you want to reproduce the problem, cpu hotplug and kprobes use
stop_machine_run and both triggered the problem after some retries.

16 years agotcp: TCP connection times out if ICMP frag needed is delayed
Sridhar Samudrala [Wed, 21 May 2008 23:42:20 +0000 (16:42 -0700)]
tcp: TCP connection times out if ICMP frag needed is delayed

We are seeing an issue with TCP in handling an ICMP frag needed
message that is received after net.ipv4.tcp_retries1 retransmits.
The default value of retries1 is 3. So if the path mtu changes
and ICMP frag needed is lost for the first 3 retransmits or if
it gets delayed until 3 retransmits are done, TCP doesn't update
MSS correctly and continues to retransmit the orginal message
until it timesout after tcp_retries2 retransmits.

I am seeing this issue even with the latest 2.6.25.4 kernel.

In tcp_retransmit_timer(), when retransmits counter exceeds
tcp_retries1 value, the dst cache entry of the socket is reset.
At this time, if we receive an ICMP frag needed message, the
dst entry gets updated with the new MTU, but the TCP sockets
dst_cache entry remains NULL.

So the next time when we try to retransmit after the ICMP frag
needed is received, tcp_retransmit_skb() gets called. Here the
cur_mss value is calculated at the start of the routine with
a NULL sk_dst_cache. Instead we should call tcp_current_mss after
the rebuild_header that caches the dst entry with the updated mtu.
Also the rebuild_header should be called before tcp_fragment
so that skb is fragmented if the mss goes down.

Greg Steuck <greg@nest.cx> points out that some of the netfilter
headers can't be used in userspace without including linux/types.h
first. The headers include their own linux/types.h include statements,
these are stripped by make headers-install because they are inside
#ifdef __KERNEL__ however. Move them out to fix this.
