[PATCH v2] erofs: fix unexpected EIO under memory pressure

by Junbeom Yeom

erofs readahead could fail with ENOMEM under the memory pressure because it tries to alloc_page with GFP_NOWAIT | GFP_NORETRY, while GFP_KERNEL for a regular read. And if readahead fails (with non-uptodate folios), the original request will then fall back to synchronous read, and `.read_folio()` should return appropriate errnos. However, in scenarios where readahead and read operations compete, read operation could return an unintended EIO because of an incorrect error propagation. To resolve this, this patch modifies the behavior so that, when the PCL is for read(which means pcl.besteffort is true), it attempts actual decompression instead of propagating the privios error except initial EIO. - Page size: 4K - The original size of FileA: 16K - Compress-ratio per PCL: 50% (Uncompressed 8K -> Compressed 4K) [page0, page1] [page2, page3] [PCL0]---------[PCL1] - functions declaration: . pread(fd, buf, count, offset) . readahead(fd, offset, count) - Thread A tries to read the last 4K - Thread B tries to do readahead 8K from 4K - RA, besteffort == false - R, besteffort == true <process A> <process B> pread(FileA, buf, 4K, 12K) do readahead(page3) // failed with ENOMEM wait_lock(page3) if (!uptodate(page3)) goto do_read readahead(FileA, 4K, 8K) // Here create PCL-chain like below: // [null, page1] [page2, null] // [PCL0:RA]-----[PCL1:RA] ... do read(page3) // found [PCL1:RA] and add page3 into it, // and then, change PCL1 from RA to R ... // Now, PCL-chain is as below: // [null, page1] [page2, page3] // [PCL0:RA]-----[PCL1:R] // try to decompress PCL-chain... z_erofs_decompress_queue err = 0; // failed with ENOMEM, so page 1 // only for RA will not be uptodated. // it's okay. err = decompress([PCL0:RA], err) // However, ENOMEM propagated to next // PCL, even though PCL is not only // for RA but also for R. As a result, // it just failed with ENOMEM without // trying any decompression, so page2 // and page3 will not be uptodated. ** BUG HERE ** --> err = decompress([PCL1:R], err) return err as ENOMEM ... wait_lock(page3) if (!uptodate(page3)) return EIO <-- Return an unexpected EIO! ...

[PATCH] mfd: qcom-pm8xxx: fix OF populate on driver rebind

by Johan Hovold

Since commit c6e126de43e7 ("of: Keep track of populated platform devices") child devices will not be created by of_platform_populate() if the devices had previously been deregistered individually so that the OF_POPULATED flag is still set in the corresponding OF nodes. Switch to using of_platform_depopulate() instead of open coding so that the child devices are created if the driver is rebound.

Sometimes, probing the OpenCL device fails (strace shows that open("/dev/kfd") failed with -EINTR). Sometimes we get the message "amdgpu: init_user_pages: Failed to register MMU notifier: -4" in the syslog. The bug can be reproduced with this program: http://www.jikos.cz/~mikulas/testcases/opencl/opencl-bug-small.c The root cause for these failures is in the function mm_take_all_locks. This function fails with -EINTR if there is pending signal. The -EINTR is propagated up the call stack to userspace and userspace fails if it gets this error. There is the following call chain: kfd_open -> kfd_create_process -> create_process -> mmu_notifier_get -> mmu_notifier_get_locked -> __mmu_notifier_register -> mm_take_all_locks -> "return -EINTR" If the failure happens in init_user_pages, there is the following call chain: init_user_pages -> amdgpu_hmm_register -> mmu_interval_notifier_insert -> mmu_notifier_register -> __mmu_notifier_register -> mm_take_all_locks -> "return -EINTR" In order to fix these failures, this commit changes signal_pending(current) to fatal_signal_pending(current) in mm_take_all_locks, so that it is interrupted only if the signal is actually killing the process. Also, this commit skips pr_err in init_user_pages if the process is being killed - in this situation, there was no error and so we don't want to report it in the syslog. I'm submitting this patch for the stable kernels, because this bug may cause random failures in any OpenCL code.

[PATCH 0/2] block/blk-mq: fix RT kernel performance regressions

by Ionut Nechita (WindRiver)

From: Ionut Nechita <ionut.nechita(a)windriver.com> This series addresses two critical performance regressions in the block layer multiqueue (blk-mq) subsystem when running on PREEMPT_RT kernels. On RT kernels, regular spinlocks are converted to sleeping rt_mutex locks, which can cause severe performance degradation in the I/O hot path. This series converts two problematic locking patterns to prevent IRQ threads from sleeping during I/O operations. Testing on MegaRAID 12GSAS controller with 8 MSI-X vectors shows: - v6.6.52-rt (before regression): 640 MB/s sequential read - v6.6.64-rt (regression introduced): 153 MB/s (-76% regression) - v6.6.68-rt with queue_lock fix only: 640 MB/s (performance restored) - v6.6.69-rt with both fixes: expected similar or better performance The first patch replaces queue_lock with memory barriers in the I/O completion hot path, eliminating the contention that caused IRQ threads to sleep. The second patch converts the global blk_mq_cpuhp_lock from mutex to raw_spinlock to prevent sleeping during CPU hotplug operations. Both conversions are safe because the protected code paths only perform fast, non-blocking operations (memory barriers, list/hlist manipulation, flag checks).

[PATCH v2] net: dsa: Fix error handling in dsa_port_parse_of

by Ma Ke

When of_find_net_device_by_node() successfully acquires a reference to a network device but the subsequent call to dsa_port_parse_cpu() fails, dsa_port_parse_of() returns without releasing the reference count on the network device. of_find_net_device_by_node() increments the reference count of the returned structure, which should be balanced with a corresponding put_device() when the reference is no longer needed.

[PATCH] scsi: be2iscsi: fix a memory leak in beiscsi_boot_get_sinfo()

by Haoxiang Li

If nonemb_cmd->va fails to be allocated, call free_mcc_wrb() to restore the impact caused by alloc_mcc_wrb().
