Commit 9c225f2655e3 ("vfs: atomic f_pos accesses as per POSIX") added
locking for file.f_pos access and in particular made concurrent read and
write not possible - now both those functions take f_pos lock for the
whole run, and so if e.g. a read is blocked waiting for data, write will
deadlock waiting for that read to complete.
This caused regression for stream-like files where previously read and
write could run simultaneously, but after that patch could not do so
anymore. See e.g. commit 581d21a2d02a ("xenbus: fix deadlock on writes
to /proc/xen/xenbus") which fixes such regression for particular case of
/proc/xen/xenbus.
The patch that added f_pos lock in 2014 did so to guarantee POSIX thread
safety for read/write/lseek and added the locking to file descriptors of
all regular files. In 2014 that thread-safety problem was not new as it
was already discussed earlier in 2006.
However even though 2006'th version of Linus's patch was adding f_pos
locking "only for files that are marked seekable with FMODE_LSEEK (thus
avoiding the stream-like objects like pipes and sockets)", the 2014
version - the one that actually made it into the tree as 9c225f2655e3 -
is doing so irregardless of whether a file is seekable or not.

https://lwn.net/Articles/180396
for historic context.
The reason that it did so is, probably, that there are many files that
are marked non-seekable, but e.g. their read implementation actually
depends on knowing current position to correctly handle the read. Some
examples:
kernel/power/user.c snapshot_read
fs/debugfs/file.c u32_array_read
fs/fuse/control.c fuse_conn_waiting_read + ...
drivers/hwmon/asus_atk0110.c atk_debugfs_ggrp_read
arch/s390/hypfs/inode.c hypfs_read_iter
...
Despite that, many nonseekable_open users implement read and write with
pure stream semantics - they don't depend on passed ppos at all. And for
those cases where read could wait for something inside, it creates a
situation similar to xenbus - the write could be never made to go until
read is done, and read is waiting for some, potentially external, event,
for potentially unbounded time -> deadlock.
Besides xenbus, there are 14 such places in the kernel that I've found
with semantic patch (see below):

drivers/gnss/core.c:45:1-17: ERROR: gnss_fops: .read() can deadlock .write()
In addition to the cases above another regression caused by f_pos
locking is that now FUSE filesystems that implement open with
FOPEN_NONSEEKABLE flag, can no longer implement bidirectional
stream-like files - for the same reason as above e.g. read can deadlock
write locking on file.f_pos in the kernel.
FUSE's FOPEN_NONSEEKABLE was added in 2008 in a7c1b990f715 ("fuse:
implement nonseekable open") to support OSSPD. OSSPD implements /dev/dsp
in userspace with FOPEN_NONSEEKABLE flag, with corresponding read and
write routines not depending on current position at all, and with both
read and write being potentially blocking operations:
See
https://github.com/libfuse/osspd
https://lwn.net/Articles/308445
https://github.com/libfuse/osspd/blob/14a9cff0/osspd.c#L1406
https://github.com/libfuse/osspd/blob/14a9cff0/osspd.c#L1438-L1477
https://github.com/libfuse/osspd/blob/14a9cff0/osspd.c#L1479-L1510
Corresponding libfuse example/test also describes FOPEN_NONSEEKABLE as
"somewhat pipe-like files ..." with read handler not using offset.
However that test implements only read without write and cannot exercise
the deadlock scenario:
https://github.com/libfuse/libfuse/blob/fuse-3.4.2-3-ga1bff7d/example/poll.c#L124-L131
https://github.com/libfuse/libfuse/blob/fuse-3.4.2-3-ga1bff7d/example/poll.c#L146-L163
https://github.com/libfuse/libfuse/blob/fuse-3.4.2-3-ga1bff7d/example/poll.c#L209-L216
I've actually hit the read vs write deadlock for real while implementing
my FUSE filesystem where there is /head/watch file, for which open
creates separate bidirectional socket-like stream in between filesystem
and its user with both read and write being later performed
simultaneously. And there it is semantically not easy to split the
stream into two separate read-only and write-only channels:
https://lab.nexedi.com/kirr/wendelin.core/blob/f13aa600/wcfs/wcfs.go#L88-169
Let's fix this regression. The plan is:
1. We can't change nonseekable_open to include &~FMODE_ATOMIC_POS -
doing so would break many in-kernel nonseekable_open users which
actually use ppos in read/write handlers.
2. Add stream_open() to kernel to open stream-like non-seekable file
descriptors. Read and write on such file descriptors would never use
nor change ppos. And with that property on stream-like files read and
write will be running without taking f_pos lock - i.e. read and write
could be running simultaneously.
3. With semantic patch search and convert to stream_open all in-kernel
nonseekable_open users for which read and write actually do not
depend on ppos and where there is no other methods in file_operations
which assume @offset access.
4. Add FOPEN_STREAM to fs/fuse/ and open in-kernel file-descriptors via
steam_open if that bit is present in filesystem open reply.
It was tempting to change fs/fuse/ open handler to use stream_open
instead of nonseekable_open on just FOPEN_NONSEEKABLE flags, but
grepping through Debian codesearch shows users of FOPEN_NONSEEKABLE,
and in particular GVFS which actually uses offset in its read and
write handlers
https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=-%3Enonseekable+%3D
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gvfs/blob/1.40.0-6-gcbc54396/client/gvfsfusedaemon.c#L1080
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gvfs/blob/1.40.0-6-gcbc54396/client/gvfsfusedaemon.c#L1247-1346
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gvfs/blob/1.40.0-6-gcbc54396/client/gvfsfusedaemon.c#L1399-1481
so if we would do such a change it will break a real user.
5. Add stream_open and FOPEN_STREAM handling to stable kernels starting
from v3.14+ (the kernel where 9c225f2655 first appeared).
This will allow to patch OSSPD and other FUSE filesystems that
provide stream-like files to return FOPEN_STREAM | FOPEN_NONSEEKABLE
in their open handler and this way avoid the deadlock on all kernel
versions. This should work because fs/fuse/ ignores unknown open
flags returned from a filesystem and so passing FOPEN_STREAM to a
kernel that is not aware of this flag cannot hurt. In turn the kernel
that is not aware of FOPEN_STREAM will be < v3.14 where just
FOPEN_NONSEEKABLE is sufficient to implement streams without read vs
write deadlock.
This patch adds stream_open, converts /proc/xen/xenbus to it and adds
semantic patch to automatically locate in-kernel places that are either
required to be converted due to read vs write deadlock, or that are just
safe to be converted because read and write do not use ppos and there
are no other funky methods in file_operations.
Regarding semantic patch I've verified each generated change manually -
that it is correct to convert - and each other nonseekable_open instance
left - that it is either not correct to convert there, or that it is not
converted due to current stream_open.cocci limitations.
The script also does not convert files that should be valid to convert,
but that currently have .llseek = noop_llseek or generic_file_llseek for
unknown reason despite file being opened with nonseekable_open (e.g.

Since commit a983b5ebee57 ("mm: memcontrol: fix excessive complexity in
memory.stat reporting") memcg dirty and writeback counters are managed
as:
1) per-memcg per-cpu values in range of [-32..32]
2) per-memcg atomic counter
When a per-cpu counter cannot fit in [-32..32] it's flushed to the
atomic. Stat readers only check the atomic. Thus readers such as
balance_dirty_pages() may see a nontrivial error margin: 32 pages per
cpu.
Assuming 100 cpus:
4k x86 page_size: 13 MiB error per memcg
64k ppc page_size: 200 MiB error per memcg
Considering that dirty+writeback are used together for some decisions the
errors double.
This inaccuracy can lead to undeserved oom kills. One nasty case is
when all per-cpu counters hold positive values offsetting an atomic
negative value (i.e. per_cpu[*]=32, atomic=n_cpu*-32).
balance_dirty_pages() only consults the atomic and does not consider
throttling the next n_cpu*32 dirty pages. If the file_lru is in the
13..200 MiB range then there's absolutely no dirty throttling, which
burdens vmscan with only dirty+writeback pages thus resorting to oom
kill.
It could be argued that tiny containers are not supported, but it's more
subtle. It's the amount the space available for file lru that matters.
If a container has memory.max-200MiB of non reclaimable memory, then it
will also suffer such oom kills on a 100 cpu machine.
The following test reliably ooms without this patch. This patch avoids
oom kills.
$ cat test
mount -t cgroup2 none /dev/cgroup
cd /dev/cgroup
echo +io +memory > cgroup.subtree_control
mkdir test
cd test
echo 10M > memory.max
(echo $BASHPID > cgroup.procs && exec /memcg-writeback-stress /foo)
(echo $BASHPID > cgroup.procs && exec dd if=/dev/zero of=/foo bs=2M count=100)
$ cat memcg-writeback-stress.c
/*
* Dirty pages from all but one cpu.
* Clean pages from the non dirtying cpu.
* This is to stress per cpu counter imbalance.
* On a 100 cpu machine:
* - per memcg per cpu dirty count is 32 pages for each of 99 cpus
* - per memcg atomic is -99*32 pages
* - thus the complete dirty limit: sum of all counters 0
* - balance_dirty_pages() only sees atomic count -99*32 pages, which
* it max()s to 0.
* - So a workload can dirty -99*32 pages before balance_dirty_pages()
* cares.

}
Make balance_dirty_pages() and wb_over_bg_thresh() work harder to
collect exact per memcg counters. This avoids the aforementioned oom
kills.
This does not affect the overhead of memory.stat, which still reads the
single atomic counter.
Why not use percpu_counter? memcg already handles cpus going offline, so
no need for that overhead from percpu_counter. And the percpu_counter
spinlocks are more heavyweight than is required.
It probably also makes sense to use exact dirty and writeback counters
in memcg oom reports. But that is saved for later.

clang points out with hundreds of warnings that the bitrev macros have a
problem with constant input:
drivers/hwmon/sht15.c:187:11: error: variable '__x' is uninitialized when used within its own initialization
[-Werror,-Wuninitialized]
u8 crc = bitrev8(data->val_status & 0x0F);

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~
include/linux/bitrev.h:67:11: note: expanded from macro '__constant_bitrev8'
u8 __x = x; \
~~~ ^
Both the bitrev and the __constant_bitrev macros use an internal
variable named __x, which goes horribly wrong when passing one to the
other.
The obvious fix is to rename one of the variables, so this adds an extra
'_'.
It seems we got away with this because
- there are only a few drivers using bitrev macros
- usually there are no constant arguments to those
- when they are constant, they tend to be either 0 or (unsigned)-1
(drivers/isdn/i4l/isdnhdlc.o, drivers/iio/amplifiers/ad8366.c) and
give the correct result by pure chance.
In fact, the only driver that I could find that gets different results
with this is drivers/net/wan/slic_ds26522.c, which in turn is a driver
for fairly rare hardware (adding the maintainer to Cc for testing).

A recent optimization in Clang (r355672) lowers comparisons of the return value of memcmp against zero to comparisons of the return value of bcmp against zero. This helps some platforms that implement bcmp more efficiently than memcmp. glibc simply aliases bcmp to memcmp, but an optimized implementation is in the works. This results in linkage failures for all targets with Clang due to the undefined symbol. For now, just implement bcmp as a tailcail to memcmp to unbreak the build. This routine can be further optimized in the future. Other ideas discussed: * A weak alias was discussed, but breaks for architectures that define their own implementations of memcmp since aliases to declarations are not permitted (only definitions). Arch-specific memcmp implementations typically declare memcmp in C headers, but implement them in assembly. * -ffreestanding also is used sporadically throughout the kernel. * -fno-builtin-bcmp doesn't work when doing LTO.

Pull syscall-get-arguments cleanup and fixes from Steven Rostedt: "Andy Lutomirski approached me to tell me that the syscall_get_arguments() implementation in x86 was horrible and gcc certainly gets it wrong. He said that since the tracepoints only pass in 0 and 6 for i and n repectively, it should be optimized for that case. Inspecting the kernel, I discovered that all users pass in 0 for i and only one file passing in something other than 6 for the number of arguments. That code happens to be my own code used for the special syscall tracing. That can easily be converted to just using 0 and 6 as well, and only copying what is needed. Which is probably the faster path anyway for that case. Along the way, a couple of real fixes came from this as the syscall_get_arguments() function was incorrect for csky and riscv. x86 has been optimized to for the new interface that removes the variable number of arguments, but the other architectures could still use some loving and take more advantage of the simpler interface" * tag 'trace-5.1-rc3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: syscalls: Remove start and number from syscall_set_arguments() args syscalls: Remove start and number from syscall_get_arguments() args csky: Fix syscall_get_arguments() and syscall_set_arguments() riscv: Fix syscall_get_arguments() and syscall_set_arguments() tracing/syscalls: Pass in hardcoded 6 into syscall_get_arguments() ptrace: Remove maxargs from task_current_syscall()

task_current_syscall() has a single user that passes in 6 for maxargs, which is the maximum arguments that can be used to get system calls from syscall_get_arguments(). Instead of passing in a number of arguments to grab, just get 6 arguments. The args argument even specifies that it's an array of 6 items. This will also allow changing syscall_get_arguments() to not get a variable number of arguments, but always grab 6. Linus also suggested not passing in a bunch of arguments to task_current_syscall() but to instead pass in a pointer to a structure, and just fill the structure. struct seccomp_data has almost all the parameters that is needed except for the stack pointer (sp). As seccomp_data is part of uapi, and I'm afraid to change it, a new structure was created "syscall_info", which includes seccomp_data and adds the "sp" field.

Pull core fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"A small set of core updates:
- Make the watchdog respect the selected CPU mask again. That was
broken by the rework of the watchdog thread management and caused
inconsistent state and NMI watchdog being unstoppable.
- Ensure that the objtool build can find the libelf location.
- Remove dead kcore stub code"
