2008-06-24[GFS2] fix gfs2 block allocation (cleaned up)Benjamin Marzinski
This patch fixes bz 450641. This patch changes the computation for zero_metapath_length(), which it renames to metapath_branch_start(). When you are extending the metadata tree, The indirect blocks that point to the new data block must either diverge from the existing tree either at the inode, or at the first indirect block. They can diverge at the first indirect block because the inode has room for 483 pointers while the indirect blocks have room for 509 pointers, so when the tree is grown, there is some free space in the first indirect block. What metapath_branch_start() now computes is the height where the first indirect block for the new data block is located. It can either be 1 (if the indirect block diverges from the inode) or 2 (if it diverges from the first indirect block).

2008-06-24KVM: VMX: Fix host msr corruption with preemption enabledAvi Kivity
Switching msrs can occur either synchronously as a result of calls to the msr management functions (usually in response to the guest touching virtualized msrs), or asynchronously when preempting a kvm thread that has guest state loaded. If we're unlucky enough to have the two at the same time, host msrs are corrupted and the machine goes kaput on the next syscall. Most easily triggered by Windows Server 2008, as it does a lot of msr switching during bootup. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>
2008-06-24KVM: ioapic: fix lost interrupt when changing a device's irqAvi Kivity
The ioapic acknowledge path translates interrupt vectors to irqs. It currently uses a first match algorithm, stopping when it finds the first redirection table entry containing the vector. That fails however if the guest changes the irq to a different line, leaving the old redirection table entry in place (though masked). Result is interrupts not making it to the guest. Fix by always scanning the entire redirection table. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>
2008-06-24KVM: MMU: Fix oops on guest userspace access to guest pagetableAvi Kivity
KVM has a heuristic to unshadow guest pagetables when userspace accesses them, on the assumption that most guests do not allow userspace to access pagetables directly. Unfortunately, in addition to unshadowing the pagetables, it also oopses. This never triggers on ordinary guests since sane OSes will clear the pagetables before assigning them to userspace, which will trigger the flood heuristic, unshadowing the pagetables before the first userspace access. One particular guest, though (Xenner) will run the kernel in userspace, triggering the oops. Since the heuristic is incorrect in this case, we can simply remove it.

2008-06-24KVM: MMU: large page update_pte issue with non-PAE 32-bit guests (resend)Marcelo Tosatti
kvm_mmu_pte_write() does not handle 32-bit non-PAE large page backed guests properly. It will instantiate two 2MB sptes pointing to the same physical 2MB page when a guest large pte update is trapped. Instead of duplicating code to handle this, disallow directory level updates to happen through kvm_mmu_pte_write(), so the two 2MB sptes emulating one guest 4MB pte can be correctly created by the page fault handling path.

2008-06-24KVM: close timer injection race window in __vcpu_runMarcelo Tosatti
If a timer fires after kvm_inject_pending_timer_irqs() but before local_irq_disable() the code will enter guest mode and only inject such timer interrupt the next time an unrelated event causes an exit. It would be simpler if the timer->pending irq conversion could be done with IRQ's disabled, so that the above problem cannot happen. For now introduce a new vcpu requests bit to cancel guest entry.

2008-06-24KVM: Fix race between timer migration and vcpu migrationMarcelo Tosatti
A guest vcpu instance can be scheduled to a different physical CPU between the test for KVM_REQ_MIGRATE_TIMER and local_irq_disable(). If that happens, the timer will only be migrated to the current pCPU on the next exit, meaning that guest LAPIC timer event can be delayed until a host interrupt is triggered. Fix it by cancelling guest entry if any vcpu request is pending. This has the side effect of nicely consolidating vcpu->requests checks.

2008-06-23mm: fix race in COW logicNick Piggin
There is a race in the COW logic. It contains a shortcut to avoid the COW and reuse the page if we have the sole reference on the page, however it is possible to have two racing do_wp_page()ers with one causing the other to mistakenly believe it is safe to take the shortcut when it is not. This could lead to data corruption. Process 1 and process2 each have a wp pte of the same anon page (ie. one forked the other). The page's mapcount is 2. Then they both attempt to write to it around the same time... proc1 proc2 thr1 proc2 thr2 CPU0 CPU1 CPU3 do_wp_page() do_wp_page() trylock_page() can_share_swap_page() load page mapcount (==2) reuse = 0 pte unlock copy page to new_page pte lock page_remove_rmap(page); trylock_page() can_share_swap_page() load page mapcount (==1) reuse = 1 ptep_set_access_flags (allow W) write private key into page read from page ptep_clear_flush() set_pte_at(pte of new_page) Fix this by moving the page_remove_rmap of the old page after the pte clear and flush. Potentially the entire branch could be moved down here, but in order to stay consistent, I won't (should probably move all the *_mm_counter stuff with one patch).

2008-06-23Fix ZERO_PAGE breakage with vmwareLinus Torvalds
Commit 89f5b7da2a6bad2e84670422ab8192382a5aeb9f ("Reinstate ZERO_PAGE optimization in 'get_user_pages()' and fix XIP") broke vmware, as reported by Jeff Chua: "This broke vmware 6.0.4. Jun 22 14:53:03.845: vmx| NOT_IMPLEMENTED /build/mts/release/bora-93057/bora/vmx/main/vmmonPosix.c:774" and the reason seems to be that there's an old bug in how we handle do FOLL_ANON on VM_SHARED areas in get_user_pages(), but since it only triggered if the whole page table was missing, nobody had apparently hit it before. The recent changes to 'follow_page()' made the FOLL_ANON logic trigger not just for whole missing page tables, but for individual pages as well, and exposed this problem. This fixes it by making the test for when FOLL_ANON is used more careful, and also makes the code easier to read and understand by moving the logic to a separate inline function.

2008-06-23futexes: fix fault handling in futex_lock_piThomas Gleixner
This patch addresses a very sporadic pi-futex related failure in highly threaded java apps on large SMP systems. David Holmes reported that the pi_state consistency check in lookup_pi_state triggered with his test application. This means that the kernel internal pi_state and the user space futex variable are out of sync. First we assumed that this is a user space data corruption, but deeper investigation revieled that the problem happend because the pi-futex code is not handling a fault in the futex_lock_pi path when the user space variable needs to be fixed up. The fault happens when a fork mapped the anon memory which contains the futex readonly for COW or the page got swapped out exactly between the unlock of the futex and the return of either the new futex owner or the task which was the expected owner but failed to acquire the kernel internal rtmutex. The current futex_lock_pi() code drops out with an inconsistent in case it faults and returns -EFAULT to user space. User space has no way to fixup that state. When we wrote this code we thought that we could not drop the hash bucket lock at this point to handle the fault. After analysing the code again it turned out to be wrong because there are only two tasks involved which might modify the pi_state and the user space variable: - the task which acquired the rtmutex - the pending owner of the pi_state which did not get the rtmutex Both tasks drop into the fixup_pi_state() function before returning to user space. The first task which acquired the hash bucket lock faults in the fixup of the user space variable, drops the spinlock and calls futex_handle_fault() to fault in the page. Now the second task could acquire the hash bucket lock and tries to fixup the user space variable as well. It either faults as well or it succeeds because the first task already faulted the page in. One caveat is to avoid a double fixup. After returning from the fault handling we reacquire the hash bucket lock and check whether the pi_state owner has been modified already.
