[ Upstream commit d321ff589c16d8c2207485a6d7fbdb14e873d46e ]

The TP_fast_assign() section is careful enough not to dereference
xdr-&gt;rqst if it's NULL. The TP_STRUCT__entry section is not.

<title>btrfs: tracepoints: output proper root owner for trace_find_free_extent()</title>

<id>c58fa93b1409185bb6fbe9ba4ce8873c8508c1f3</id>
<content type='text'>
The current trace event always output result like this:

 find_free_extent: root=2(EXTENT_TREE) len=16384 empty_size=0 flags=4(METADATA)
 find_free_extent: root=2(EXTENT_TREE) len=16384 empty_size=0 flags=4(METADATA)
 find_free_extent: root=2(EXTENT_TREE) len=8192 empty_size=0 flags=1(DATA)
 find_free_extent: root=2(EXTENT_TREE) len=8192 empty_size=0 flags=1(DATA)
 find_free_extent: root=2(EXTENT_TREE) len=4096 empty_size=0 flags=1(DATA)
 find_free_extent: root=2(EXTENT_TREE) len=4096 empty_size=0 flags=1(DATA)

T's saying we're allocating data extent for EXTENT tree, which is not
even possible.

It's because we always use EXTENT tree as the owner for
trace_find_free_extent() without using the @root from
btrfs_reserve_extent().

This patch will change the parameter to use proper @root for
trace_find_free_extent():

Now it looks much better:

 find_free_extent: root=5(FS_TREE) len=16384 empty_size=0 flags=36(METADATA|DUP)
 find_free_extent: root=5(FS_TREE) len=8192 empty_size=0 flags=1(DATA)
 find_free_extent: root=5(FS_TREE) len=16384 empty_size=0 flags=1(DATA)
 find_free_extent: root=5(FS_TREE) len=4096 empty_size=0 flags=1(DATA)
 find_free_extent: root=5(FS_TREE) len=8192 empty_size=0 flags=1(DATA)
 find_free_extent: root=5(FS_TREE) len=16384 empty_size=0 flags=36(METADATA|DUP)
 find_free_extent: root=7(CSUM_TREE) len=16384 empty_size=0 flags=36(METADATA|DUP)
 find_free_extent: root=2(EXTENT_TREE) len=16384 empty_size=0 flags=36(METADATA|DUP)
 find_free_extent: root=1(ROOT_TREE) len=16384 empty_size=0 flags=36(METADATA|DUP)

[ Upstream commit 7010645ba7256992818b518163f46bd4cdf8002a ]

trace-cmd report doesn't show events from target subsystem because
scsi_command_size() leaks through event format string:

  [target:target_sequencer_start] function scsi_command_size not defined
  [target:target_cmd_complete] function scsi_command_size not defined

Addition of scsi_command_size() to plugin_scsi.c in trace-cmd doesn't
help because an expression is used inside TP_printk(). trace-cmd event
parser doesn't understand minus sign inside [ ]:

  Error: expected ']' but read '-'

Rather than duplicating kernel code in plugin_scsi.c, provide a dedicated
field for CONTROL byte.

[ Upstream commit f643ee295c1c63bc117fb052d4da681354d6f732 ]

The original patch bringed in the "SCTP ACK tracking trace event"
feature was committed at Dec.20, 2017, it replaced jprobe usage
with trace events, and bringed in two trace events, one is
TRACE_EVENT(sctp_probe), another one is TRACE_EVENT(sctp_probe_path).
The original patch intended to trigger the trace_sctp_probe_path in
TRACE_EVENT(sctp_probe) as below code,

+TRACE_EVENT(sctp_probe,
+
+	TP_PROTO(const struct sctp_endpoint *ep,
+		 const struct sctp_association *asoc,
+		 struct sctp_chunk *chunk),
+
+	TP_ARGS(ep, asoc, chunk),
+
+	TP_STRUCT__entry(
+		__field(__u64, asoc)
+		__field(__u32, mark)
+		__field(__u16, bind_port)
+		__field(__u16, peer_port)
+		__field(__u32, pathmtu)
+		__field(__u32, rwnd)
+		__field(__u16, unack_data)
+	),
+
+	TP_fast_assign(
+		struct sk_buff *skb = chunk-&gt;skb;
+
+		__entry-&gt;asoc = (unsigned long)asoc;
+		__entry-&gt;mark = skb-&gt;mark;
+		__entry-&gt;bind_port = ep-&gt;base.bind_addr.port;
+		__entry-&gt;peer_port = asoc-&gt;peer.port;
+		__entry-&gt;pathmtu = asoc-&gt;pathmtu;
+		__entry-&gt;rwnd = asoc-&gt;peer.rwnd;
+		__entry-&gt;unack_data = asoc-&gt;unack_data;
+
+		if (trace_sctp_probe_path_enabled()) {
+			struct sctp_transport *sp;
+
+			list_for_each_entry(sp, &amp;asoc-&gt;peer.transport_addr_list,
+					    transports) {
+				trace_sctp_probe_path(sp, asoc);
+			}
+		}
+	),

But I found it did not work when I did testing, and trace_sctp_probe_path
had no output, I finally found that there is trace buffer lock
operation(trace_event_buffer_reserve) in include/trace/trace_events.h:

static notrace void							\
trace_event_raw_event_##call(void *__data, proto)			\
{									\
	struct trace_event_file *trace_file = __data;			\
	struct trace_event_data_offsets_##call __maybe_unused __data_offsets;\
	struct trace_event_buffer fbuffer;				\
	struct trace_event_raw_##call *entry;				\
	int __data_size;						\
									\
	if (trace_trigger_soft_disabled(trace_file))			\
		return;							\
									\
	__data_size = trace_event_get_offsets_##call(&amp;__data_offsets, args); \
									\
	entry = trace_event_buffer_reserve(&amp;fbuffer, trace_file,	\
				 sizeof(*entry) + __data_size);		\
									\
	if (!entry)							\
		return;							\
									\
	tstruct								\
									\
	{ assign; }							\
									\
	trace_event_buffer_commit(&amp;fbuffer);				\
}

The reason caused no output of trace_sctp_probe_path is that
trace_sctp_probe_path written in TP_fast_assign part of
TRACE_EVENT(sctp_probe), and it will be placed( { assign; } ) after the
trace_event_buffer_reserve() when compiler expands Macro,

        entry = trace_event_buffer_reserve(&amp;fbuffer, trace_file,        \
                                 sizeof(*entry) + __data_size);         \
                                                                        \
        if (!entry)                                                     \
                return;                                                 \
                                                                        \
        tstruct                                                         \
                                                                        \
        { assign; }                                                     \

so trace_sctp_probe_path finally can not acquire trace_event_buffer
and return no output, that is to say the nest of tracepoint entry function
is not allowed. The function call flow is:

trace_sctp_probe()
-&gt; trace_event_raw_event_sctp_probe()
 -&gt; lock buffer
 -&gt; trace_sctp_probe_path()
   -&gt; trace_event_raw_event_sctp_probe_path()  --nested
   -&gt; buffer has been locked and return no output.

This patch is to remove trace_sctp_probe_path from the TP_fast_assign
part of TRACE_EVENT(sctp_probe) to avoid the nest of entry function,
and trigger sctp_probe_path_trace in sctp_outq_sack.

After this patch, you can enable both events individually,
  # cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
  # echo 1 &gt; events/sctp/sctp_probe/enable
  # echo 1 &gt; events/sctp/sctp_probe_path/enable

Or, you can enable all the events under sctp.

[ Upstream commit a264abad51d8ecb7954a2f6d9f1885b38daffc74 ]

RPC tasks on the backchannel never invoke xprt_complete_rqst(), so
there is no way to report their tk_status at completion. Also, any
RPC task that exits via rpc_exit_task() before it is replied to will
also disappear without a trace.

Introduce a trace point that is symmetrical with rpc_task_begin that
captures the termination status of each RPC task.

Sample trace output for callback requests initiated on the server:
   kworker/u8:12-448   [003]   127.025240: rpc_task_end:         task:50@3 flags=ASYNC|DYNAMIC|SOFT|SOFTCONN|SENT runstate=RUNNING|ACTIVE status=0 action=rpc_exit_task
   kworker/u8:12-448   [002]   127.567310: rpc_task_end:         task:51@3 flags=ASYNC|DYNAMIC|SOFT|SOFTCONN|SENT runstate=RUNNING|ACTIVE status=0 action=rpc_exit_task
   kworker/u8:12-448   [001]   130.506817: rpc_task_end:         task:52@3 flags=ASYNC|DYNAMIC|SOFT|SOFTCONN|SENT runstate=RUNNING|ACTIVE status=0 action=rpc_exit_task

Odd, though, that I never see trace_rpc_task_complete, either in the
forward or backchannel. Should it be removed?

<title>writeback: Fix sync livelock due to b_dirty_time processing</title>

commit f9cae926f35e8230330f28c7b743ad088611a8de upstream.

When we are processing writeback for sync(2), move_expired_inodes()
didn't set any inode expiry value (older_than_this). This can result in
writeback never completing if there's steady stream of inodes added to
b_dirty_time list as writeback rechecks dirty lists after each writeback
round whether there's more work to be done. Fix the problem by using
sync(2) start time is inode expiry value when processing b_dirty_time
list similarly as for ordinarily dirtied inodes. This requires some
refactoring of older_than_this handling which simplifies the code
noticeably as a bonus.

The trace symbol printer (__print_symbolic()) ignores symbols that map to
an empty string and prints the hex value instead.

Fix the symbol for rxrpc_cong_no_change to " -" instead of "" to avoid
this.

<title>rxrpc: Fix the excessive initial retransmission timeout</title>

<content type='text'>
commit c410bf01933e5e09d142c66c3df9ad470a7eec13 upstream.

rxrpc currently uses a fixed 4s retransmission timeout until the RTT is
sufficiently sampled.  This can cause problems with some fileservers with
calls to the cache manager in the afs filesystem being dropped from the
fileserver because a packet goes missing and the retransmission timeout is
greater than the call expiry timeout.

Fix this by:

 (1) Copying the RTT/RTO calculation code from Linux's TCP implementation
     and altering it to fit rxrpc.

 (2) Altering the various users of the RTT to make use of the new SRTT
     value.

 (3) Replacing the use of rxrpc_resend_timeout to use the calculated RTO
     value instead (which is needed in jiffies), along with a backoff.

Notes:

 (1) rxrpc provides RTT samples by matching the serial numbers on outgoing
     DATA packets that have the RXRPC_REQUEST_ACK set and PING ACK packets
     against the reference serial number in incoming REQUESTED ACK and
     PING-RESPONSE ACK packets.

 (2) Each packet that is transmitted on an rxrpc connection gets a new
     per-connection serial number, even for retransmissions, so an ACK can
     be cross-referenced to a specific trigger packet.  This allows RTT
     information to be drawn from retransmitted DATA packets also.

 (3) rxrpc maintains the RTT/RTO state on the rxrpc_peer record rather than
     on an rxrpc_call because many RPC calls won't live long enough to
     generate more than one sample.

 (4) The calculated SRTT value is in units of 8ths of a microsecond rather
     than nanoseconds.

The (S)RTT and RTO values are displayed in /proc/net/rxrpc/peers.

commit d6c8e949a35d6906d6c03a50e9a9cdf4e494528a upstream.

Systemtap 4.2 is unable to correctly interpret the "u32 (*missed_ppm)[2]"
argument of the iocost_ioc_vrate_adj trace entry defined in
include/trace/events/iocost.h leading to the following error:

  /tmp/stapAcz0G0/stap_c89c58b83cea1724e26395efa9ed4939_6321_aux_6.c:78:8:
  error: expected ‘;’, ‘,’ or ‘)’ before ‘*’ token
   , u32[]* __tracepoint_arg_missed_ppm

That argument type is indeed rather complex and hard to read. Looking
at block/blk-iocost.c. It is just a 2-entry u32 array. By simplifying
the argument to a simple "u32 *missed_ppm" and adjusting the trace
entry accordingly, the compilation error was gone.
