Commit 2aede851dd (PM / Hibernate: Freeze
kernel threads after preallocating memory) moved the freezing of kernel
threads to hibernation_snapshot() function.
So now, if the call to hibernation_snapshot() returns early due to a
successful hibernation test, the caller has to thaw processes to ensure
that the system gets back to its original state.
But in SNAPSHOT_CREATE_IMAGE hibernation ioctl, the caller does not thaw
processes in case hibernation_snapshot() returned due to a successful
freezer test. Fix this issue. But note we still send the value of 'in_suspend'
(which is now 0) to userspace, because we are not in an error path per-se,
and moreover, the value of in_suspend correctly depicts the situation here.

There's no in-kernel user of set_freezable_with_signal() left. Mixing
TIF_SIGPENDING with kernel threads can lead to nasty corner cases as
kernel threads never travel signal delivery path on their own.
e.g. the current implementation is buggy in the cancelation path of
__thaw_task(). It calls recalc_sigpending_and_wake() in an attempt to
clear TIF_SIGPENDING but the function never clears it regardless of
sigpending state. This means that signallable freezable kthreads may
continue executing with !freezing() && stuck TIF_SIGPENDING, which can
be troublesome.
This patch removes set_freezable_with_signal() along with
PF_FREEZER_NOSIG and recalc_sigpending*() calls in freezer. User
tasks get TIF_SIGPENDING, kernel tasks get woken up and the spurious
sigpending is dealt with in the usual signal delivery path.

Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
Using TIF_FREEZE for freezing worked when there was only single
freezing condition (the PM one); however, now there is also the
cgroup_freezer and single bit flag is getting clumsy.
thaw_processes() is already testing whether cgroup freezing in in
effect to avoid thawing tasks which were frozen by both PM and cgroup
freezers.
This is racy (nothing prevents race against cgroup freezing) and
fragile. A much simpler way is to test actual freeze conditions from
freezing() - ie. directly test whether PM or cgroup freezing is in
effect.
This patch adds variables to indicate whether and what type of
freezing conditions are in effect and reimplements freezing() such
that it directly tests whether any of the two freezing conditions is
active and the task should freeze. On fast path, freezing() is still
very cheap - it only tests system_freezing_cnt.
This makes the clumsy dancing aroung TIF_FREEZE unnecessary and
freeze/thaw operations more usual - updating state variables for the
new state and nudging target tasks so that they notice the new state
and comply. As long as the nudging happens after state update, it's
race-free.
* This allows use of freezing() in freeze_task(). Replace the open
coded tests with freezing().
* p != current test is added to warning printing conditions in
try_to_freeze_tasks() failure path. This is necessary as freezing()
is now true for the task which initiated freezing too.

* Make cgroup_freezing() access task_freezer() under rcu read lock

against task moving to another cgroup; however, it was already racy
without this change as ->state dereference wasn't synchronized.
This will be later dealt with using attach hooks.

freeze_processes() failure path is rather messy. Freezing is canceled

These are done without any synchronization and hinder with

frozen() tests inside freezer_lock in freeze_task().
thaw_processes() can simply drop freezable() test as frozen() test in
__thaw_task() is enough.

Currently freezing (TIF_FREEZE) and frozen (PF_FROZEN) states are
interlocked - freezing is set to request freeze and when the task
actually freezes, it clears freezing and sets frozen.
This interlocking makes things more complex than necessary - freezing
doesn't mean there's freezing condition in effect and frozen doesn't
match the task actually entering and leaving frozen state (it's
cleared by the thawing task).
This patch makes freezing indicate that freeze condition is in effect.
A task enters and stays frozen if freezing. This makes PF_FROZEN
manipulation done only by the task itself and prevents wakeup from
__thaw_task() leaking outside of refrigerator.
The only place which needs to tell freezing && !frozen is
try_to_freeze_task() to whine about tasks which don't enter frozen.
It's updated to test the condition explicitly.
With the change, frozen() state my linger after __thaw_task() until
the task wakes up and exits fridge. This can trigger BUG_ON() in
update_if_frozen(). Work it around by testing freezing() && frozen()
instead of frozen().
-v2: Oleg pointed out missing re-check of freezing() when trying to
clear FROZEN and possible spurious BUG_ON() trigger in

Freezer synchronization is needlessly complicated - it's by no means a
hot path and the priority is staying unintrusive and safe. This patch
makes it simply use a dedicated lock instead of piggy-backing on
task_lock() and playing with memory barriers.
On the failure path of try_to_freeze_tasks(), locking is moved from it
to cancel_freezing(). This makes the frozen() test racy but the race
here is a non-issue as the warning is printed for tasks which failed
to enter frozen for 20 seconds and race on PF_FROZEN at the last
moment doesn't change anything.
This simplifies freezer implementation and eases further changes
including some race fixes.

Writeback and thinkpad_acpi have been using thaw_process() to prevent
deadlock between the freezer and kthread_stop(); unfortunately, this
is inherently racy - nothing prevents freezing from happening between
thaw_process() and kthread_stop().
This patch implements kthread_freezable_should_stop() which enters
refrigerator if necessary but is guaranteed to return if
kthread_stop() is invoked. Both thaw_process() users are converted to

Note that this deadlock condition exists for many of freezable

refrigerator() saves current->state before entering frozen state and
restores it before returning using __set_current_state(); however,
this is racy, for example, please consider the following sequence.
set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE);
try_to_freeze();
if (kthread_should_stop())
break;
schedule();
If kthread_stop() races with ->state restoration, the restoration can
restore ->state to TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE after kthread_stop() sets it to
TASK_RUNNING but kthread_should_stop() may still see zero
->should_stop because there's no memory barrier between restoring
TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE and kthread_should_stop() test.
This isn't restricted to kthread_should_stop(). current->state is
often used in memory barrier based synchronization and silently
restoring it w/o mb breaks them.
Use set_current_state() instead.

(PM / Hibernate: Freeze kernel threads after preallocating memory)
postponed the freezing of kernel threads to after preallocating memory
for hibernation. But while doing that, the hibernation test TEST_FREEZER
and the test mode HIBERNATION_TESTPROC were not moved accordingly.
As a result, when using these test modes, it only goes upto the freezing of
userspace and exits, when in fact it should go till the complete end of task
freezing stage, namely the freezing of kernel threads as well.
So, move these points of exit to appropriate places so that freezing of

Dynamic debugging is currently disabled for tainted modules, except
for TAINT_CRAP. This prevents use of dynamic debugging for
out-of-tree modules once the next patch is applied.
This condition was apparently intended to avoid a crash if a force-
loaded module has an incompatible definition of dynamic debug
structures. However, a administrator that forces us to load a module
is claiming that it *is* compatible even though it fails our version
checks. If they are mistaken, there are any number of ways the module
could crash the system.
As a side-effect, proprietary and other tainted modules can now use
dynamic_debug.

Commit 27920651fe "PM / Freezer: Make fake_signal_wake_up() wake
TASK_KILLABLE tasks too" updated fake_signal_wake_up() used by freezer
to wake up KILLABLE tasks. Sending unsolicited wakeups to tasks in
killable sleep is dangerous as there are code paths which depend on
tasks not waking up spuriously from KILLABLE sleep.
For example. sys_read() or page can sleep in TASK_KILLABLE assuming
that wait/down/whatever _killable can only fail if we can not return
to the usermode. TASK_TRACED is another obvious example.
The previous patch updated wait_event_freezekillable() such that it
doesn't depend on the spurious wakeup. This patch reverts the
offending commit.
Note that the spurious KILLABLE wakeup had other implicit effects in
KILLABLE sleeps in nfs and cifs and those will need further updates to
regain freezekillable behavior.

The CPU hotplug notifications sent out by the _cpu_up() and _cpu_down()
functions depend on the value of the 'tasks_frozen' argument passed to them
(which indicates whether tasks have been frozen or not).
(Examples for such CPU hotplug notifications: CPU_ONLINE, CPU_ONLINE_FROZEN,
CPU_DEAD, CPU_DEAD_FROZEN).
Thus, it is essential that while the callbacks for those notifications are
running, the state of the system with respect to the tasks being frozen or
not remains unchanged, *throughout that duration*. Hence there is a need for
synchronizing the CPU hotplug code with the freezer subsystem.
Since the freezer is involved only in the Suspend/Hibernate call paths, this
patch hooks the CPU hotplug code to the suspend/hibernate notifiers
PM_[SUSPEND|HIBERNATE]_PREPARE and PM_POST_[SUSPEND|HIBERNATE] to prevent
the race between CPU hotplug and freezer, thus ensuring that CPU hotplug
notifications will always be run with the state of the system really being
what the notifications indicate, _throughout_ their execution time.

This reverts commit 144060fee0.
It causes a resume regression for Andi on his Acer Aspire 1830T post
3.1. The screen just stays black after wakeup.
Also, it really looks like the wrong way to suspend and resume perf
events: I think they should be done as part of the CPU suspend and
resume, rather than as a notifier that does smp_call_function().

commit d05c65fff0 ("genirq: spurious: Run only one poller at a time")
introduced a regression, leaving the boot options 'irqfixup' and
'irqpoll' non-functional. The patch placed tests in each function, to
exit if the function is already running. The test in 'misrouted_irq'
exited when it should have proceeded, effectively disabling
'misrouted_irq' and 'poll_spurious_irqs'.
The check for an already running poller needs to be "!= 1" not "== 1"
as "1" is the value when the first poller starts running.

While back-porting Johannes Weiner's patch "mm: memcg-aware global
reclaim" for an internal effort, we noticed a significant performance
regression during page-reclaim heavy workloads due to high contention of
the ss->id_lock. This lock protects idr map, and serializes calls to
idr_get_next() in css_get_next() (which is used during the memcg hierarchy
walk).
Since idr_get_next() is just doing a look up, we need only serialize it
with respect to idr_remove()/idr_get_new(). By making the ss->id_lock a
rwlock, contention is greatly reduced and performance improves.
Tested: cat a 256m file from a ramdisk in a 128m container 50 times on
each core (one file + container per core) in parallel on a NUMA machine.
Result is the time for the test to complete in 1 of the containers.
Both kernels included Johannes' memcg-aware global reclaim patches.
Before rwlock patch: 1710.778s
After rwlock patch: 152.227s

Adding support for poll() in sysctl fs allows userspace to receive
notifications of changes in sysctl entries. This adds a infrastructure to
allow files in sysctl fs to be pollable and implements it for hostname and
domainname.

{get,put}_mems_allowed() exist so that general kernel code may locklessly
access a task's set of allowable nodes without having the chance that a
concurrent write will cause the nodemask to be empty on configurations
where MAX_NUMNODES > BITS_PER_LONG.
This could incur a significant delay, however, especially in low memory
conditions because the page allocator is blocking and reclaim requires
get_mems_allowed() itself. It is not atypical to see writes to
cpuset.mems take over 2 seconds to complete, for example. In low memory
conditions, this is problematic because it's one of the most imporant
times to change cpuset.mems in the first place!
The only way a task's set of allowable nodes may change is through cpusets
by writing to cpuset.mems and when attaching a task to a generic code is
not reading the nodemask with get_mems_allowed() at the same time, and
then clearing all the old nodes. This prevents the possibility that a
reader will see an empty nodemask at the same time the writer is storing a
new nodemask.
If at least one node remains unchanged, though, it's possible to simply
set all new nodes and then clear all the old nodes. Changing a task's
nodemask is protected by cgroup_mutex so it's guaranteed that two threads
are not changing the same task's nodemask at the same time, so the
nodemask is guaranteed to be stored before another thread changes it and
determines whether a node remains set or not.
