| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Eric and David reported dead machines and traced it to commit a195f004 ("sched: Fix load-balance lock-breaking"), it turns out there's still a scenario where we can end up re-trying forever. Since there is no strict forward progress guarantee in the load-balance iteration we can get stuck re-retrying the same task-set over and over. Creating a forward progress guarantee with the existing structure is somewhat non-trivial, for now simply terminate the retry loop after a few tries.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, messages are just output on the detection of stack overflow, which is not sufficient for systems that need a high reliability. This is because in general the overflow may corrupt data, and the additional corruption may occur due to reading them unless systems stop. This patch adds the sysctl parameter kernel.panic_on_stackoverflow and causes a panic when detecting the overflows of kernel, IRQ and exception stacks except user stack according to the parameter. It is disabled by default. Signed-off-by: Mitsuo Hayasaka <mitsuo.hayasaka.hu@hitachi.com> Cc: yrl.pp-manager.tt@hitachi.com Cc: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@xenotime.net> Cc: "H.

The solution is to charge the pages dirtied by the exited gcc to the other random dirtying tasks. It sounds not perfect, however should behave good enough in practice, seeing as that throttled tasks aren't actually running so those that are running are more likely to pick it up and get throttled, therefore promoting an equal spread.

(new, thanks Oleg) __send_signal: convert current's uid to the recipient's user namespace for any siginfo which is not SI_FROMKERNEL (patch from Oleg, thanks again :) do_notify_parent and do_notify_parent_cldstop: map task's uid to parent's user namespace ptrace_signal maps parent's uid into current's user namespace before including in signal to current. IIUC Oleg has argued that this shouldn't matter as the debugger will play with it, but it seems like not converting the value currently being set is misleading. Changelog: Sep 20: Inspired by Oleg's suggestion, define map_cred_ns() helper to simplify callers and help make clear what we are translating (which uid into which namespace). Passing the target task would make callers even easier to read, but we pass in user_ns because current_user_ns() != task_cred_xxx(current, user_ns). Sep 20: As recommended by Oleg, also put task_pid_vnr() under rcu_read_lock in ptrace_signal(). Sep 23: In send_signal(), detect when (user) signal is coming from an ancestor or unrelated user namespace. Pass that on to __send_signal, which sets si_uid to 0 or overflowuid if needed. Oct 12: Base on Oleg's fixup_uid() patch. On top of that, handle all SI_FROMKERNEL cases at callers, because we can't assume sender is current in those cases.

This is inconvenient and a bit silly given that the whole wq is being dynamically allocated. This patch updates alloc_workqueue() and friends to take printf format string instead of opaque string and matching varargs at the end. The name is allocated together with the wq and formatted. alloc_ordered_workqueue() is converted to a macro to unify varargs handling with alloc_workqueue(), and, while at it, add comment to alloc_workqueue(). None of the current in-kernel users pass in string with '%' as constant name and this change shouldn't cause any problem.

One of problem is that it's inherited at fork(). When a daemon set oom_score_adj and make children, it's hard to know where the value is set. This patch adds some tracepoints useful for debugging. This patch adds 3 trace points. - creating new task - renaming a task (exec) - set oom_score_adj To debug, users need to enable some trace pointer. Maybe filtering is useful as # EVENT=/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/task/ # echo "oom_score_adj != 0" > $EVENT/task_newtask/filter # echo "oom_score_adj != 0" > $EVENT/task_rename/filter # echo 1 > $EVENT/enable # EVENT=/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/oom/ # echo 1 > $EVENT/enable output will be like this. # grep oom /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace bash-7699 [007] d..3 5140.744510: oom_score_adj_update: pid=7699 comm=bash oom_score_adj=-1000 bash-7699 [007] ...1 5151.818022: task_newtask: pid=7729 comm=bash clone_flags=1200011 oom_score_adj=-1000 ls-7729 [003] ...2 5151.818504: task_rename: pid=7729 oldcomm=bash newcomm=ls oom_score_adj=-1000 bash-7699 [002] ...1 5175.701468: task_newtask: pid=7730 comm=bash clone_flags=1200011 oom_score_adj=-1000 grep-7730 [007] ...2 5175.701993: task_rename: pid=7730 oldcomm=bash newcomm=grep oom_score_adj=-1000 Signed-off-by: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com> Cc: KOSAKI Motohiro <kosaki.motohiro@jp.fujitsu.com> Acked-by: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

This feature is documented is Documentation/cgroups/cgroups.txt section 2.3 Here's an example: # mount -t cgroup -o cpuset,name=myhier xxx /cgroup1 # mount -t cgroup -o name=myhier xxx /cgroup2 But it was broken by commit 32a8cf235e2f192eb002755076994525cdbaa35a (cgroup: make the mount options parsing more accurate) This fixes the regression.

On-going migration could race against exec and exit leading to interesting problems - the symmetry between various attach methods, task exiting during method execution, ->exit() racing against attach methods, migrating task switching basic properties during exec and so on. This patch extends threadgroup_lock() such that it protects against all three threadgroup altering operations - fork, exit and exec. For exit, threadgroup_change_begin/end() calls are added to exit_signals around assertion of PF_EXITING. For exec, threadgroup_[un]lock() are updated to also grab and release cred_guard_mutex. With this change, threadgroup_lock() guarantees that the target threadgroup will remain stable - no new task will be added, no new PF_EXITING will be set and exec won't happen. The next patch will update cgroup so that it can take full advantage of this change. -v2: beefed up comment as suggested by Frederic. -v3: narrowed scope of protection in exit path as suggested by Frederic.

This unfortunately completes circular dependency. A. cgroup_mutex -> cred_guard_mutex -> s_type->i_mutex_key -> namespace_sem B. namespace_sem -> cgroup_mutex B is from cgroup_show_options() and this patch breaks it by introducing another mutex cgroup_root_mutex which nests inside cgroup_mutex and protects cgroupfs_root.
