This fixes possible lost wakeup introduced by commit a218cc491420.
Originally modifications to ep-&gt;wq were serialized by ep-&gt;wq.lock, but
in commit a218cc491420 ("epoll: use rwlock in order to reduce
ep_poll_callback() contention") a new rw lock was introduced in order to
relax fd event path, i.e. callers of ep_poll_callback() function.

After the change ep_modify and ep_insert (both are called on epoll_ctl()
path) were switched to ep-&gt;lock, but ep_poll (epoll_wait) was using
ep-&gt;wq.lock on wqueue list modification.

The bug doesn't lead to any wqueue list corruptions, because wake up
path and list modifications were serialized by ep-&gt;wq.lock internally,
but actual waitqueue_active() check prior wake_up() call can be
reordered with modifications of ep ready list, thus wake up can be lost.

And yes, can be healed by explicit smp_mb():

  list_add_tail(&amp;epi-&gt;rdlink, &amp;ep-&gt;rdllist);
  smp_mb();
  if (waitqueue_active(&amp;ep-&gt;wq))
	wake_up(&amp;ep-&gt;wp);

But let's make it simple, thus current patch replaces ep-&gt;wq.lock with
the ep-&gt;lock for wqueue modifications, thus wake up path always observes
activeness of the wqueue correcty.

<title>fs/epoll: remove unnecessary wakeups of nested epoll</title>

Take the case where we have:

        t0
         | (ew)
        e0
         | (et)
        e1
         | (lt)
        s0

t0: thread 0
e0: epoll fd 0
e1: epoll fd 1
s0: socket fd 0
ew: epoll_wait
et: edge-trigger
lt: level-trigger

We remove unnecessary wakeups to prevent the nested epoll that working in edge-
triggered mode to waking up continuously.

Test code:
 #include &lt;unistd.h&gt;
 #include &lt;sys/epoll.h&gt;
 #include &lt;sys/socket.h&gt;

 int main(int argc, char *argv[])
 {
 	int sfd[2];
 	int efd[2];
 	struct epoll_event e;

 	if (socketpair(AF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, 0, sfd) &lt; 0)
 		goto out;

 	efd[0] = epoll_create(1);
 	if (efd[0] &lt; 0)
 		goto out;

 	efd[1] = epoll_create(1);
 	if (efd[1] &lt; 0)
 		goto out;

 	e.events = EPOLLIN;
 	if (epoll_ctl(efd[1], EPOLL_CTL_ADD, sfd[0], &amp;e) &lt; 0)
 		goto out;

 	e.events = EPOLLIN | EPOLLET;
 	if (epoll_ctl(efd[0], EPOLL_CTL_ADD, efd[1], &amp;e) &lt; 0)
 		goto out;

 	if (write(sfd[1], "w", 1) != 1)
 		goto out;

 	if (epoll_wait(efd[0], &amp;e, 1, 0) != 1)
 		goto out;

 	if (epoll_wait(efd[0], &amp;e, 1, 0) != 0)
 		goto out;

 	close(efd[0]);
 	close(efd[1]);
 	close(sfd[0]);
 	close(sfd[1]);

 	return 0;

 out:
 	return -1;

<title>epoll: simplify ep_poll_safewake() for CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC</title>

Currently, ep_poll_safewake() in the CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC case uses
ep_call_nested() in order to pass the correct subclass argument to
spin_lock_irqsave_nested().  However, ep_call_nested() adds unnecessary
checks for epoll depth and loops that are already verified when doing
EPOLL_CTL_ADD.  This mirrors a conversion that was done for
!CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC in: commit 37b5e5212a44 ("epoll: remove
ep_call_nested() from ep_eventpoll_poll()")

<title>proc/sysctl: add shared variables for range check</title>

<id>eec4844fae7c033a0c1fc1eb3b8517aeb8b6cc49</id>
<content type='text'>
In the sysctl code the proc_dointvec_minmax() function is often used to
validate the user supplied value between an allowed range.  This
function uses the extra1 and extra2 members from struct ctl_table as
minimum and maximum allowed value.

On sysctl handler declaration, in every source file there are some
readonly variables containing just an integer which address is assigned
to the extra1 and extra2 members, so the sysctl range is enforced.

The special values 0, 1 and INT_MAX are very often used as range
boundary, leading duplication of variables like zero=0, one=1,
int_max=INT_MAX in different source files:

    $ git grep -E '\.extra[12].*&amp;(zero|one|int_max)' |wc -l
    248

Add a const int array containing the most commonly used values, some
macros to refer more easily to the correct array member, and use them
instead of creating a local one for every object file.

This is the bloat-o-meter output comparing the old and new binary
compiled with the default Fedora config:

In the sysctl code the proc_dointvec_minmax() function is often used to
validate the user supplied value between an allowed range.  This
function uses the extra1 and extra2 members from struct ctl_table as
minimum and maximum allowed value.

On sysctl handler declaration, in every source file there are some
readonly variables containing just an integer which address is assigned
to the extra1 and extra2 members, so the sysctl range is enforced.

The special values 0, 1 and INT_MAX are very often used as range
boundary, leading duplication of variables like zero=0, one=1,
int_max=INT_MAX in different source files:

    $ git grep -E '\.extra[12].*&amp;(zero|one|int_max)' |wc -l
    248

Add a const int array containing the most commonly used values, some
macros to refer more easily to the correct array member, and use them
instead of creating a local one for every object file.

This is the bloat-o-meter output comparing the old and new binary
compiled with the default Fedora config:

    # scripts/bloat-o-meter -d vmlinux.o.old vmlinux.o

<title>signal: simplify set_user_sigmask/restore_user_sigmask</title>

task-&gt;saved_sigmask and -&gt;restore_sigmask are only used in the ret-from-
syscall paths.  This means that set_user_sigmask() can save -&gt;blocked in
-&gt;saved_sigmask and do set_restore_sigmask() to indicate that -&gt;blocked
was modified.

This way the callers do not need 2 sigset_t's passed to set/restore and
restore_user_sigmask() renamed to restore_saved_sigmask_unless() turns
into the trivial helper which just calls restore_saved_sigmask().

<title>signal: remove the wrong signal_pending() check in restore_user_sigmask()</title>

<content type='text'>
This is the minimal fix for stable, I'll send cleanups later.

Commit 854a6ed56839 ("signal: Add restore_user_sigmask()") introduced
the visible change which breaks user-space: a signal temporary unblocked
by set_user_sigmask() can be delivered even if the caller returns
success or timeout.

Change restore_user_sigmask() to accept the additional "interrupted"
argument which should be used instead of signal_pending() check, and
update the callers.

Eric said:

: For clarity.  I don't think this is required by posix, or fundamentally to
: remove the races in select.  It is what linux has always done and we have
: applications who care so I agree this fix is needed.
:
: Further in any case where the semantic change that this patch rolls back
: (aka where allowing a signal to be delivered and the select like call to
: complete) would be advantage we can do as well if not better by using
: signalfd.
:
: Michael is there any chance we can get this guarantee of the linux
: implementation of pselect and friends clearly documented.  The guarantee
: that if the system call completes successfully we are guaranteed that no
: signal that is unblocked by using sigmask will be delivered?
