Kees Cook 0cd340dcb0 list: Split list_del() debug checking into separate function
Similar to the list_add() debug consolidation, this commit consolidates
the debug checking performed during CONFIG_DEBUG_LIST into a new
__list_del_entry_valid() function, and stops list updates when corruption
is found.

Refactored from same hardening in PaX and Grsecurity.

Kees Cook d7c816733d list: Split list_add() debug checking into separate function
Right now, __list_add() code is repeated either in list.h or in
list_debug.c, but the only differences between the two versions
are the debug checks. This commit therefore extracts these debug
checks into a separate __list_add_valid() function and consolidates
__list_add(). Additionally this new __list_add_valid() function will stop
list manipulations if a corruption is detected, instead of allowing for
further corruption that may lead to even worse conditions.

This is slight refactoring of the same hardening done in PaX and Grsecurity.

Chris Wilson 12adfd882c list: Expand list_first_entry_or_null()
Due to the use of READ_ONCE() in list_empty() the compiler cannot
optimise !list_empty() ? list_first_entry() : NULL very well. By
manually expanding list_first_entry_or_null() we can take advantage of
the READ_ONCE() to avoid the list element changing under the test while
the compiler can generate smaller code.

Dan Williams d77a117e68 list: kill list_force_poison()
Given we have uninitialized list_heads being passed to list_add() it
will always be the case that those uninitialized values randomly trigger
the poison value.  Especially since a list_add() operation will seed the
stack with the poison value for later stack allocations to trip over.

For example, see these two false positive reports:

Dan Williams 5c2c2587b1 mm, dax, pmem: introduce {get|put}_dev_pagemap() for dax-gup
get_dev_page() enables paths like get_user_pages() to pin a dynamically
mapped pfn-range (devm_memremap_pages()) while the resulting struct page
objects are in use.  Unlike get_page() it may fail if the device is, or
is in the process of being, disabled.  While the initial lookup of the
range may be an expensive list walk, the result is cached to speed up
subsequent lookups which are likely to be in the same mapped range.

devm_memremap_pages() now requires a reference counter to be specified
at init time.  For pmem this means moving request_queue allocation into
pmem_alloc() so the existing queue usage counter can track "device
pages".

ZONE_DEVICE pages always have an elevated count and will never be on an
lru reclaim list.  That space in 'struct page' can be redirected for
other uses, but for safety introduce a poison value that will always
trip __list_add() to assert.  This allows half of the struct list_head
storage to be reclaimed with some assurance to back up the assumption
that the page count never goes to zero and a list_add() is never
attempted.

Paul E. McKenney 2f073848c3 list: Use WRITE_ONCE() when initializing list_head structures
Code that does lockless emptiness testing of non-RCU lists is relying
on INIT_LIST_HEAD() to write the list head's ->next pointer atomically,
particularly when INIT_LIST_HEAD() is invoked from list_del_init().
This commit therefore adds WRITE_ONCE() to this function's pointer stores
that could affect the head's ->next pointer.

Paul E. McKenney 1658d35ead list: Use READ_ONCE() when testing for empty lists
Most of the list-empty-check macros (list_empty(), hlist_empty(),
hlist_bl_empty(), hlist_nulls_empty(), and hlist_nulls_empty()) use
an unadorned load to check the list header.  Given that these macros
are sometimes invoked without the protection of a lock, this is
not sufficient.  This commit therefore adds READ_ONCE() calls to
them.  This commit does not touch llist_empty() because it already
has the needed ACCESS_ONCE().

Paul E. McKenney 7f5f873c6a rculist: Use WRITE_ONCE() when deleting from reader-visible list
The various RCU list-deletion macros (list_del_rcu(),
hlist_del_init_rcu(), hlist_del_rcu(), hlist_bl_del_init_rcu(),
hlist_bl_del_rcu(), hlist_nulls_del_init_rcu(), and hlist_nulls_del_rcu())
do plain stores into the ->next pointer of the preceding list elemment.
Unfortunately, the compiler is within its rights to (for example) use
byte-at-a-time writes to update the pointer, which would fatally confuse
concurrent readers.  This patch therefore adds the needed WRITE_ONCE()
macros.

KernelThreadSanitizer (KTSAN) reported the __hlist_del() issue, which
is a problem when __hlist_del() is invoked by hlist_del_rcu().

Josef Bacik cbedaac634 inode: add hlist_fake to avoid the inode hash lock in evict
Some filesystems don't use the VFS inode hash and fake the fact they
are hashed so that all the writeback code works correctly. However,
this means the evict() path still tries to remove the inode from the
hash, meaning that the inode_hash_lock() needs to be taken
unnecessarily. Hence under certain workloads the inode_hash_lock can
be contended even if the inode is never actually hashed.

To avoid this add hlist_fake to test if the inode isn't actually
hashed to avoid taking the hash lock on inodes that have never been
hashed.  Based on Dave Chinner's

inode: add IOP_NOTHASHED to avoid inode hash lock in evict

basd on Al's suggestions.  Thanks,

The name was changed to hlist_add_behind() to cause unconverted code to

Paul E. McKenney f65846a180 list: Fix double fetch of pointer in hlist_entry_safe()
The current version of hlist_entry_safe() fetches the pointer twice,
once to test for NULL and the other to compute the offset back to the
enclosing structure.  This is OK for normal lock-based use because in
that case, the pointer cannot change.  However, when the pointer is
protected by RCU (as in "rcu_dereference(p)"), then the pointer can
change at any time.  This use case can result in the following sequence
of events:

1.	CPU 0 invokes hlist_entry_safe(), fetches the RCU-protected
	pointer as sees that it is non-NULL.

2.	CPU 1 invokes hlist_del_rcu(), deleting the entry that CPU 0
	just fetched a pointer to.  Because this is the last entry
	in the list, the pointer fetched by CPU 0 is now NULL.

3.	CPU 0 refetches the pointer, obtains NULL, and then gets a
	NULL-pointer crash.

This commit therefore applies gcc's "({ })" statement expression to
create a temporary variable so that the specified pointer is fetched
only once, avoiding the above sequence of events.  Please note that
it is the caller's responsibility to use rcu_dereference() as needed.
This allows RCU-protected uses to work correctly without imposing
any additional overhead on the non-RCU case.

Many thanks to Eric Dumazet for spotting root cause!

Sasha Levin b67bfe0d42 hlist: drop the node parameter from iterators
I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived

        list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member)

The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter:

        hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member)

Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only
they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking
exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate.

Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required:

 - Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h
 - Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones.
 - A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this
 was modified to use 'obj->member' instead.
 - Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator
 properly, so those had to be fixed up manually.

The semantic patch which is mostly the work of Peter Senna Tschudin is here:

Linus Torvalds e66eed651f list: remove prefetching from regular list iterators
This is removes the use of software prefetching from the regular list
iterators.  We don't want it.  If you do want to prefetch in some
iterator of yours, go right ahead.  Just don't expect the iterator to do
it, since normally the downsides are bigger than the upsides.

It also replaces <linux/prefetch.h> with <linux/const.h>, because the
use of LIST_POISON ends up needing it.  <linux/poison.h> is sadly not
self-contained, and including prefetch.h just happened to hide that.

Suggested by David Miller (networking has a lot of regular lists that
are often empty or a single entry, and prefetching is not going to do
anything but add useless instructions).

Linus Torvalds 75d65a425c hlist: remove software prefetching in hlist iterators
They not only increase the code footprint, they actually make things
slower rather than faster.  On internationally acclaimed benchmarks
("make -j16" on an already fully built kernel source tree) the hlist
prefetching slows down the build by up to 1%.

(Almost all of it comes from hlist_for_each_entry_rcu() as used by
avc_has_perm_noaudit(), which is very hot due to all the pathname
lookups to see if there is anything to do).

The cause seems to be two-fold:

 - on at least some Intel cores, prefetch(NULL) ends up with some
   microarchitectural stall due to the TLB miss that it incurs.  The
   hlist case triggers this very commonly, since the NULL pointer is the
   last entry in the list.

 - the prefetch appears to cause more D$ activity, probably because it
   prefetches hash list entries that are never actually used (because we
   ended the search early due to a hit).

Regardless, the numbers clearly say that the implicit prefetching is
simply a bad idea.  If some _particular_ user of the hlist iterators
wants to prefetch the next list entry, they can do so themselves
explicitly, rather than depend on all list iterators doing so
implicitly.

Linus Torvalds 3c18d4de86 Expand CONFIG_DEBUG_LIST to several other list operations
When list debugging is enabled, we aim to readably show list corruption
errors, and the basic list_add/list_del operations end up having extra
debugging code in them to do some basic validation of the list entries.

However, "list_del_init()" and "list_move[_tail]()" ended up avoiding
the debug code due to how they were written. This fixes that.

So the _next_ time we have list_move() problems with stale list entries,
we'll hopefully have an easier time finding them..

Chris Metcalf de5d9bf654 Move list types from <linux/list.h> to <linux/types.h>.
This allows a list_head (or hlist_head, etc.) to be used from places
that used to be impractical, in particular <asm/processor.h>, which
used to cause include file recursion: <linux/list.h> includes
<linux/prefetch.h>, which always includes <asm/processor.h> for the
prefetch macros, as well as <asm/system.h>, which often includes
<asm/processor.h> directly or indirectly.

This avoids a lot of painful workaround hackery on the tile
architecture, where we use a list_head in the thread_struct to chain
together tasks that are activated on a particular hardwall.

npiggin@suse.de 57439f878a fs: fix superblock iteration race
list_for_each_entry_safe is not suitable to protect against concurrent
modification of the list. 6754af6 introduced a race in sb walking.

list_for_each_entry can use the trick of pinning the current entry in
the list before we drop and retake the lock because it subsequently
follows cur->next. However list_for_each_entry_safe saves n=cur->next
for following before entering the loop body, so when the lock is
dropped, n may be deleted.

We fix it by moving the actual freeing to outside the lock (the lock
now only protects the list).

The pool lock is also promoted to irq-safe (suggested by Dan). It's
necessary because free_pool is now called outside the irq disabled
region. So we need to protect against an interrupt handler which calls
debug_object_init().

Franck Bui-Huu 82524746c2 rcu: split list.h and move rcu-protected lists into rculist.h
Move rcu-protected lists from list.h into a new header file rculist.h.

This is done because list are a very used primitive structure all over the
kernel and it's currently impossible to include other header files in this
list.h without creating some circular dependencies.

For example, list.h implements rcu-protected list and uses rcu_dereference()
without including rcupdate.h.  It actually compiles because users of
rcu_dereference() are macros.  Others RCU functions could be used too but
aren't probably because of this.

Therefore this patch creates rculist.h which includes rcupdates without to
many changes/troubles.

Linus Torvalds cc216c5d42 Fix RCU list iterator use of 'rcu_dereference()'
The RCU iterators used 'rcu_dereference()' on an already-fetched RCU
pointer value, which defeats the whole point of the exercise.

When we dereference a pointer protected by RCU, we need to make sure
that we only fetch the value _once_, because if the compiler ends up
re-loading it due to register pressure, the newly reloaded value could
be different from the previously fetched one, and you get inconsistent
results.

Denis V. Lunev 37c42524d6 shrink_dcache_sb speedup
This patch makes shrink_dcache_sb consistent with dentry pruning policy.

On the first pass we iterate over dentry unused list and prepare some
dentries for removal.

However, since the existing code moves evicted dentries to the beginning of
the LRU it can happen that fresh dentries from other superblocks will be
inserted *before* our dentries.

This can result in significant slowdown of shrink_dcache_sb().  Moreover,
for virtual filesystems like unionfs which can call dput() during dentries
kill existing code results in O(n^2) complexity.

We observed 2 minutes shrink_dcache_sb() with only 35000 dentries.

To avoid this effects we propose to isolate sb dentries at the end
of LRU list.
