2016-03-10list: kill list_force_poison()Dan Williams1-9/+0
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: list_add attempted on force-poisoned entry WARNING: at lib/list_debug.c:34 [..] NIP [c00000000043c390] __list_add+0xb0/0x150 LR [c00000000043c38c] __list_add+0xac/0x150 Call Trace: __list_add+0xac/0x150 (unreliable) __down+0x4c/0xf8 down+0x68/0x70 xfs_buf_lock+0x4c/0x150 [xfs] list_add attempted on force-poisoned entry(0000000000000500), new->next == d0000000059ecdb0, new->prev == 0000000000000500 WARNING: at lib/list_debug.c:33 [..] NIP [c00000000042db78] __list_add+0xa8/0x140 LR [c00000000042db74] __list_add+0xa4/0x140 Call Trace: __list_add+0xa4/0x140 (unreliable) rwsem_down_read_failed+0x6c/0x1a0 down_read+0x58/0x60 xfs_log_commit_cil+0x7c/0x600 [xfs] Fixes: commit 5c2c2587b132 ("mm, dax, pmem: introduce {get|put}_dev_pagemap() for dax-gup") Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com> Reported-by: Eryu Guan <eguan@redhat.com> Tested-by: Eryu Guan <eguan@redhat.com> Cc: Ross Zwisler <ross.zwisler@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2016-01-16mm, dax, pmem: introduce {get|put}_dev_pagemap() for dax-gupDan Williams1-0/+9
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.

2015-11-23list: Use WRITE_ONCE() when adding to lists and hlistsPaul E. McKenney1-1/+1
Code that does lockless emptiness testing of non-RCU lists is relying on the list-addition code to write the list head's ->next pointer atomically. This commit therefore adds WRITE_ONCE() to list-addition pointer stores that could affect the head's ->next pointer. Reported-by: Dmitry Vyukov <dvyukov@google.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

Although the C language allows you to break strings across lines, doing this makes it hard for people to find the Linux kernel code corresponding to a given console message.

2012-05-30list_debug: WARN for adding something already in the listChris Metcalf1-0/+3
We were bitten by this at one point and added an additional sanity test for DEBUG_LIST. You can't validly add a list_head to a list where either prev or next is the same as the thing you're adding.

2012-04-25rcu: List-debug variants of rcu list routines.Dave Jones1-0/+22
* Make __list_add_rcu check the next->prev and prev->next pointers just like __list_add does. * Make list_del_rcu use __list_del_entry, which does the same checking at deletion time. Has been running for a week here without anything being tripped up, but it seems worth adding for completeness just in case something ever does corrupt those lists.

2012-03-24Merge tag 'module-for-3.4' of ↵Linus Torvalds1-1/+1
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulg/linux Pull cleanup of fs/ and lib/ users of module.h from Paul Gortmaker: "Fix up files in fs/ and lib/ dirs to only use module.h if they really need it. These are trivial in scope vs the work done previously. We now have things where any few remaining cleanups can be farmed out to arch or subsystem maintainers, and I have done so when possible. What is remaining here represents the bits that don't clearly lie within a single arch/subsystem boundary, like the fs dir and the lib dir. Some duplicate includes arising from overlapping fixes from independent subsystem maintainer submissions are also quashed." Fix up trivial conflicts due to clashes with other include file cleanups (including some due to the previous bug.h cleanup pull). * tag 'module-for-3.4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulg/linux: lib: reduce the use of module.h wherever possible fs: reduce the use of module.h wherever possible includecheck: delete any duplicate instances of module.h

For files only using THIS_MODULE and/or EXPORT_SYMBOL, map them onto including export.h -- or if the file isn't even using those, then just delete the include.

2011-02-18Expand CONFIG_DEBUG_LIST to several other list operationsLinus Torvalds1-13/+26
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.. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2010-08-10list debugging: warn when deleting a deleted entryBaruch Siach1-0/+6
Use the magic LIST_POISON* values to detect an incorrect use of list_del on a deleted entry. This DEBUG_LIST specific warning is easier to understand than the generic Oops message caused by LIST_POISON dereference.

2008-07-25list debugging: use WARN() instead of BUG()Dave Jones1-22/+14
Arjan noted that the list_head debugging is BUG'ing when it detects corruption. By causing the box to panic immediately, we're possibly losing some bug reports.

Remove the conditional surrounding the definition of list_add() from list.h since, if you define CONFIG_DEBUG_LIST, the definition you will subsequently pick up from lib/list_debug.c will be absolutely identical, at which point you can remove that redundant definition from list_debug.c as well.
