memblock: drop memblock_alloc_base()

2019-03-12T17:04:01+00:00

The memblock_alloc_base() function tries to allocate a memory up to the
limit specified by its max_addr parameter and panics if the allocation
fails.  Replace its usage with memblock_phys_alloc_range() and make the
callers check the return value and panic in case of error.

powerpc/rtas: Fix a potential race between CPU-Offline & Migration

2018-10-13T11:21:25+00:00

Live Partition Migrations require all the present CPUs to execute the
H_JOIN call, and hence rtas_ibm_suspend_me() onlines any offline CPUs
before initiating the migration for this purpose.

The commit 85a88cabad57
("powerpc/pseries: Disable CPU hotplug across migrations")
disables any CPU-hotplug operations once all the offline CPUs are
brought online to prevent any further state change. Once the
CPU-Hotplug operation is disabled, the code assumes that all the CPUs
are online.

However, there is a minor window in rtas_ibm_suspend_me() between
onlining the offline CPUs and disabling CPU-Hotplug when a concurrent
CPU-offline operations initiated by the userspace can succeed thereby
nullifying the the aformentioned assumption. In this unlikely case
these offlined CPUs will not call H_JOIN, resulting in a system hang.

Fix this by verifying that all the present CPUs are actually online
after CPU-Hotplug has been disabled, failing which we restore the
state of the offline CPUs in rtas_ibm_suspend_me() and return an
-EBUSY.

powerpc/pseries/mobility: Extend start/stop topology update scope

2018-10-13T11:21:25+00:00

The powerpc mobility code may receive RTAS requests to perform PRRN
(Platform Resource Reassignment Notification) topology changes at any
time, including during LPAR migration operations.

In some configurations where the affinity of CPUs or memory is being
changed on that platform, the PRRN requests may apply or refer to
outdated information prior to the complete update of the device-tree.

This patch changes the duration for which topology updates are
suppressed during LPAR migrations from just the rtas_ibm_suspend_me()
/ 'ibm,suspend-me' call(s) to cover the entire migration_store()
operation to allow all changes to the device-tree to be applied prior
to accepting and applying any PRRN requests.

For tracking purposes, pr_info notices are added to the functions
start_topology_update() and stop_topology_update() of 'numa.c'.

powerpc/pseries: Disable CPU hotplug across migrations

2018-09-19T12:08:12+00:00

When performing partition migrations all present CPUs must be online
as all present CPUs must make the H_JOIN call as part of the migration
process. Once all present CPUs make the H_JOIN call, one CPU is returned
to make the rtas call to perform the migration to the destination system.

During testing of migration and changing the SMT state we have found
instances where CPUs are offlined, as part of the SMT state change,
before they make the H_JOIN call. This results in a hung system where
every CPU is either in H_JOIN or offline.

To prevent this this patch disables CPU hotplug during the migration
process.

powerpc: Fix build by disabling attribute-alias warning for SYSCALL_DEFINEx

GCC 8.1 emits warnings such as the following. As arch/powerpc code is
built with -Werror, this breaks the build with GCC 8.1.

locking/arch, powerpc/rtas: Use arch_spin_lock() instead of arch_spin_lock_flags()

2017-10-18T13:15:07+00:00

arch_spin_lock_flags() is an internal part of the spinlock implementation
and is no longer available when SMP=n and DEBUG_SPINLOCK=y, so the PPC
RTAS code fails to compile in this configuration:

   arch/powerpc/kernel/rtas.c: In function 'lock_rtas':
>> arch/powerpc/kernel/rtas.c:81:2: error: implicit declaration of function 'arch_spin_lock_flags' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
     arch_spin_lock_flags(&rtas.lock, flags);
     ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Since there's no good reason to use arch_spin_lock_flags() here (the code
in question already calls local_irq_save(flags)), switch it over to
arch_spin_lock and get things building again.

mm: treewide: remove GFP_TEMPORARY allocation flag

2017-09-14T01:53:16+00:00

GFP_TEMPORARY was introduced by commit e12ba74d8ff3 ("Group short-lived
and reclaimable kernel allocations") along with __GFP_RECLAIMABLE.  It's
primary motivation was to allow users to tell that an allocation is
short lived and so the allocator can try to place such allocations close
together and prevent long term fragmentation.  As much as this sounds
like a reasonable semantic it becomes much less clear when to use the
highlevel GFP_TEMPORARY allocation flag.  How long is temporary? Can the
context holding that memory sleep? Can it take locks? It seems there is
no good answer for those questions.

The current implementation of GFP_TEMPORARY is basically GFP_KERNEL |
__GFP_RECLAIMABLE which in itself is tricky because basically none of
the existing caller provide a way to reclaim the allocated memory.  So
this is rather misleading and hard to evaluate for any benefits.

I have checked some random users and none of them has added the flag
with a specific justification.  I suspect most of them just copied from
other existing users and others just thought it might be a good idea to
use without any measuring.  This suggests that GFP_TEMPORARY just
motivates for cargo cult usage without any reasoning.

I believe that our gfp flags are quite complex already and especially
those with highlevel semantic should be clearly defined to prevent from
confusion and abuse.  Therefore I propose dropping GFP_TEMPORARY and
replace all existing users to simply use GFP_KERNEL.  Please note that
SLAB users with shrinkers will still get __GFP_RECLAIMABLE heuristic and
so they will be placed properly for memory fragmentation prevention.

I can see reasons we might want some gfp flag to reflect shorterm
allocations but I propose starting from a clear semantic definition and
only then add users with proper justification.

This was been brought up before LSF this year by Matthew [1] and it
turned out that GFP_TEMPORARY really doesn't have a clear semantic.  It
seems to be a heuristic without any measured advantage for most (if not
all) its current users.  The follow up discussion has revealed that
opinions on what might be temporary allocation differ a lot between
developers.  So rather than trying to tweak existing users into a
semantic which they haven't expected I propose to simply remove the flag
and start from scratch if we really need a semantic for short term
allocations.

powerpc/kernel: Fix unbalanced refcount on RTAS device node

2017-01-25T02:34:21+00:00

The RTAS device-tree node's refcount has been increased by one in
the function call of_find_node_by_name(), but it's missed to be
decreased by one in the error path. It leads to unbalanced refcount
on RTAS device-tree node.

This fixes above issue by decreasing RTAS device-tree node's refcount
in error path.
