vmw_balloon: release lock on error in vmballoon_reset()

2019-03-23T19:11:17+00:00

commit d04071a5d6413b65f17f7bd6e2bdb22e22e4ace7 upstream.

We added some locking to this function but forgot to drop the lock on
these two error paths.  This bug would lead to an immediate deadlock.

Merge tag 'char-misc-4.21-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/char-misc

2018-12-29T04:54:57+00:00

Pull char/misc driver updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the big set of char and misc driver patches for 4.21-rc1.

  Lots of different types of driver things in here, as this tree seems
  to be the "collection of various driver subsystems not big enough to
  have their own git tree" lately.

  Anyway, some highlights of the changes in here:

   - binderfs: is it a rule that all driver subsystems will eventually
     grow to have their own filesystem? Binder now has one to handle the
     use of it in containerized systems.

     This was discussed at the Plumbers conference a few months ago and
     knocked into mergable shape very fast by Christian Brauner. Who
     also has signed up to be another binder maintainer, showing a
     distinct lack of good judgement :)

   - binder updates and fixes

   - mei driver updates

   - fpga driver updates and additions

   - thunderbolt driver updates

   - soundwire driver updates

   - extcon driver updates

   - nvmem driver updates

   - hyper-v driver updates

   - coresight driver updates

   - pvpanic driver additions and reworking for more device support

   - lp driver updates. Yes really, it's _finally_ moved to the proper
     parallal port driver model, something I never thought I would see
     happen. Good stuff.

   - other tiny driver updates and fixes.

  All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
  issues"

mm: convert totalram_pages and totalhigh_pages variables to atomic

2018-12-28T20:11:47+00:00

totalram_pages and totalhigh_pages are made static inline function.

Main motivation was that managed_page_count_lock handling was complicating
things.  It was discussed in length here,
https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/995739/#1181785 So it seemes
better to remove the lock and convert variables to atomic, with preventing
poteintial store-to-read tearing as a bonus.

such a macro,so remove GENWQE_DEBUGFS_RO.Also use DEFINE_SHOW_ATTRIBUTE

vmw_balloon: add reset stat

2018-09-25T18:11:43+00:00

It is useful to expose how many times the balloon resets. If it happens
more than very rarely - this is an indication for a problem.

vmw_balloon: rework the inflate and deflate loops

2018-09-25T18:11:42+00:00

In preparation for supporting compaction and OOM notification, this
patch reworks the inflate/deflate loops. The main idea is to separate
the allocation, communication with the hypervisor, and the handling of
errors from each other. Doing will allow us to perform concurrent
inflation and deflation, excluding the actual communication with the
hypervisor.

To do so, we need to get rid of the remaining global state that is kept
in the balloon struct, specifically the refuse_list. When the VM
communicates with the hypervisor, it does not free or put back pages
to the balloon list and instead only moves the pages whose status
indicated failure into a refuse_list on the stack. Once the operation
completes, the inflation or deflation functions handle the list
appropriately.

As we do that, we can consolidate the communication with the hypervisor
for both the lock and unlock operations into a single function. We also
reuse the deflation function for popping the balloon.

As a preparation for preventing races, we hold a spinlock when the
communication actually takes place, and use atomic operations for
updating the balloon size. The balloon page list is still racy and will
be handled in the next patch.

vmw_balloon: stats rework

2018-09-25T18:11:42+00:00

To allow the balloon statistics to be updated concurrently, we change
the statistics to be held per core and aggregate it when needed.

To avoid the memory overhead of keeping the statistics per core, and
since it is likely not used by most users, we start updating the
statistics only after the first use. A read-write semaphore is used to
protect the statistics initialization and avoid races. This semaphore is
(and will) be used to protect configuration changes during reset.

While we are at it, address some other issues: change the statistics
update to inline functions instead of define; use ulong for saving the
statistics; and clean the statistics printouts.

Note that this patch changes the format of the outputs. If there are any
automatic tools that use the statistics, they might fail.

vmw_balloon: simplify vmballoon_send_get_target()

2018-09-25T18:11:42+00:00

As we want to leave as little as possible on the global balloon
structure, to avoid possible future races, we want to get rid sysinfo.
We can actually get the total_ram directly, and simplify the logic of
vmballoon_send_get_target() a little.

While we are doing that, let's return int and avoid mistakes due to
bool/int conversions.

vmw_balloon: refactor change size from vmballoon_work

2018-09-25T18:11:42+00:00

The required change in the balloon size is currently computed in
vmballoon_work(), vmballoon_inflate() and vmballoon_deflate(). Refactor
it to simplify the next patches.
