commit 42288cb44c4b5fff7653bc392b583a2b8bd6a8c0 upstream.

Several -&gt;poll() implementations are special in that they use a
waitqueue whose lifetime is the current task, rather than the struct
file as is normally the case.  This is okay for blocking polls, since a
blocking poll occurs within one task; however, non-blocking polls
require another solution.  This solution is for the queue to be cleared
before it is freed, using 'wake_up_poll(wq, EPOLLHUP | POLLFREE);'.

However, that has a bug: wake_up_poll() calls __wake_up() with
nr_exclusive=1.  Therefore, if there are multiple "exclusive" waiters,
and the wakeup function for the first one returns a positive value, only
that one will be called.  That's *not* what's needed for POLLFREE;
POLLFREE is special in that it really needs to wake up everyone.

Considering the three non-blocking poll systems:

- io_uring poll doesn't handle POLLFREE at all, so it is broken anyway.

- aio poll is unaffected, since it doesn't support exclusive waits.
  However, that's fragile, as someone could add this feature later.

- epoll doesn't appear to be broken by this, since its wakeup function
  returns 0 when it sees POLLFREE.  But this is fragile.

Although there is a workaround (see epoll), it's better to define a
function which always sends POLLFREE to all waiters.  Add such a
function.  Also make it verify that the queue really becomes empty after
all waiters have been woken up.

<title>rq-qos: fix missed wake-ups in rq_qos_throttle try two</title>

commit 11c7aa0ddea8611007768d3e6b58d45dc60a19e1 upstream.

Commit 545fbd0775ba ("rq-qos: fix missed wake-ups in rq_qos_throttle")
tried to fix a problem that a process could be sleeping in rq_qos_wait()
without anyone to wake it up. However the fix is not complete and the
following can still happen:

CPU1 (waiter1)		CPU2 (waiter2)		CPU3 (waker)
rq_qos_wait()		rq_qos_wait()
  acquire_inflight_cb() -&gt; fails
			  acquire_inflight_cb() -&gt; fails

						completes IOs, inflight
						  decreased
  prepare_to_wait_exclusive()
			  prepare_to_wait_exclusive()
  has_sleeper = !wq_has_single_sleeper() -&gt; true as there are two sleepers
			  has_sleeper = !wq_has_single_sleeper() -&gt; true
  io_schedule()		  io_schedule()

Deadlock as now there's nobody to wakeup the two waiters. The logic
automatically blocking when there are already sleepers is really subtle
and the only way to make it work reliably is that we check whether there
are some waiters in the queue when adding ourselves there. That way, we
are guaranteed that at least the first process to enter the wait queue
will recheck the waiting condition before going to sleep and thus
guarantee forward progress.

Better ensure we actually hold the lock using lockdep than just commenting
on it.  Due to the various exported _locked interfaces it is far too easy
to get the locking wrong.

<title>sched/core: Use smp_mb() in wake_woken_function()</title>
<updated>2018-07-17T07:30:33+00:00</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux-stable.git/commit/?id=76e079fefc8f62bd9b2cd2950814d1ee806e31a5'/>
<id>76e079fefc8f62bd9b2cd2950814d1ee806e31a5</id>
<content type='text'>
wake_woken_function() synchronizes with wait_woken() as follows:

  [wait_woken]                       [wake_woken_function]

  entry-&gt;flags &amp;= ~wq_flag_woken;    condition = true;
  smp_mb();                          smp_wmb();
  if (condition)                     wq_entry-&gt;flags |= wq_flag_woken;
     break;

This commit replaces the above smp_wmb() with an smp_mb() in order to
guarantee that either wait_woken() sees the wait condition being true
or the store to wq_entry-&gt;flags in woken_wake_function() follows the
store in wait_woken() in the coherence order (so that the former can
eventually be observed by wait_woken()).

The commit also fixes a comment associated to set_current_state() in
wait_woken(): the comment pairs the barrier in set_current_state() to
the above smp_wmb(), while the actual pairing involves the barrier in
set_current_state() and the barrier executed by the try_to_wake_up()
in wake_woken_function().

wake_woken_function() synchronizes with wait_woken() as follows:

  [wait_woken]                       [wake_woken_function]

  entry-&gt;flags &amp;= ~wq_flag_woken;    condition = true;
  smp_mb();                          smp_wmb();
  if (condition)                     wq_entry-&gt;flags |= wq_flag_woken;
     break;

This commit replaces the above smp_wmb() with an smp_mb() in order to
guarantee that either wait_woken() sees the wait condition being true
or the store to wq_entry-&gt;flags in woken_wake_function() follows the
store in wait_woken() in the coherence order (so that the former can
eventually be observed by wait_woken()).

The commit also fixes a comment associated to set_current_state() in
wait_woken(): the comment pairs the barrier in set_current_state() to
the above smp_wmb(), while the actual pairing involves the barrier in
set_current_state() and the barrier executed by the try_to_wake_up()
in wake_woken_function().

<title>sched/headers: Simplify and clean up header usage in the scheduler</title>

Do the following cleanups and simplifications:

 - sched/sched.h already includes &lt;asm/paravirt.h&gt;, so no need to
   include it in sched/core.c again.

 - order the &lt;linux/sched/*.h&gt; headers alphabetically

 - add all &lt;linux/sched/*.h&gt; headers to kernel/sched/sched.h

 - remove all unnecessary includes from the .c files that
   are already included in kernel/sched/sched.h.

Finally, make all scheduler .c files use a single common header:

  #include "sched.h"

... which now contains a union of the relied upon headers.

This makes the various .c files easier to read and easier to handle.

<title>sched: Clean up and harmonize the coding style of the scheduler code base</title>

<content type='text'>
A good number of small style inconsistencies have accumulated
in the scheduler core, so do a pass over them to harmonize
all these details:

 - fix speling in comments,

 - use curly braces for multi-line statements,

 - remove unnecessary parentheses from integer literals,

 - capitalize consistently,

 - remove stray newlines,

 - add comments where necessary,

 - remove invalid/unnecessary comments,

 - align structure definitions and other data types vertically,

 - add missing newlines for increased readability,

 - fix vertical tabulation where it's misaligned,

 - harmonize preprocessor conditional block labeling
   and vertical alignment,

 - remove line-breaks where they uglify the code,

 - add newline after local variable definitions,

No change in functionality:

  md5:
     1191fa0a890cfa8132156d2959d7e9e2  built-in.o.before.asm
     1191fa0a890cfa8132156d2959d7e9e2  built-in.o.after.asm
