treewide: Convert del_timer() to timer_shutdown()

2022-12-25T21:38:09+00:00

Due to several bugs caused by timers being re-armed after they are shutdown and just before they are freed, a new state of timers was added called "shutdown". After a timer is set to this state, then it can no longer be re-armed. The following script was run to find all the trivial locations where del_timer() or del_timer_sync() is called in the same function that the object holding the timer is freed. It also ignores any locations where the timer->function is modified between the del_timer*() and the free(), as that is not considered a "trivial" case. This was created by using a coccinelle script and the following commands: $ cat timer.cocci @@ expression ptr, slab; identifier timer, rfield; @@ ( - del_timer(&ptr->timer); + timer_shutdown(&ptr->timer); | - del_timer_sync(&ptr->timer); + timer_shutdown_sync(&ptr->timer); ) ... when strict when != ptr->timer ( kfree_rcu(ptr, rfield); | kmem_cache_free(slab, ptr); | kfree(ptr); ) $ spatch timer.cocci . > /tmp/t.patch $ patch -p1 < /tmp/t.patch Link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20221123201306.823305113@linutronix.de/ Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (Google) Acked-by: Pavel Machek [ LED ] Acked-by: Kalle Valo [ wireless ] Acked-by: Paolo Abeni [ networking ] Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

pstore: Properly assign mem_type property

2022-12-23T18:34:25+00:00

If mem-type is specified in the device tree it would end up overriding the record_size field instead of populating mem_type. As record_size is currently parsed after the improper assignment with default size 0 it continued to work as expected regardless of the value found in the device tree. Simply changing the target field of the struct is enough to get mem-type working as expected.

pstore: Make sure CONFIG_PSTORE_PMSG selects CONFIG_RT_MUTEXES

2022-12-23T18:33:27+00:00

In commit 76d62f24db07 ("pstore: Switch pmsg_lock to an rt_mutex to avoid priority inversion") I changed a lock to an rt_mutex. However, its possible that CONFIG_RT_MUTEXES is not enabled, which then results in a build failure, as the 0day bot detected: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/202212211244.TwzWZD3H-lkp@intel.com/ Thus this patch changes CONFIG_PSTORE_PMSG to select CONFIG_RT_MUTEXES, which ensures the build will not fail.

afs: Stop implementing ->writepage()

2022-12-22T11:40:35+00:00

We're trying to get rid of the ->writepage() hook[1]. Stop afs from using it by unlocking the page and calling afs_writepages_region() rather than folio_write_one(). A flag is passed to afs_writepages_region() to indicate that it should only write a single region so that we don't flush the entire file in ->write_begin(), but do add other dirty data to the region being written to try and reduce the number of RPC ops. This requires ->migrate_folio() to be implemented, so point that at filemap_migrate_folio() for files and also for symlinks and directories. This can be tested by turning on the afs_folio_dirty tracepoint and then doing something like: xfs_io -c "w 2223 7000" -c "w 15000 22222" -c "w 23 7" /afs/my/test/foo and then looking in the trace to see if the write at position 15000 gets stored before page 0 gets dirtied for the write at position 23.

afs: Fix lost servers_outstanding count

2022-12-22T11:40:35+00:00

The afs_fs_probe_dispatcher() work function is passed a count on net->servers_outstanding when it is scheduled (which may come via its timer). This is passed back to the work_item, passed to the timer or dropped at the end of the dispatcher function. But, at the top of the dispatcher function, there are two checks which skip the rest of the function: if the network namespace is being destroyed or if there are no fileservers to probe. These two return paths, however, do not drop the count passed to the dispatcher, and so, sometimes, the destruction of a network namespace, such as induced by rmmod of the kafs module, may get stuck in afs_purge_servers(), waiting for net->servers_outstanding to become zero. Fix this by adding the missing decrements in afs_fs_probe_dispatcher().
