Patches

diff-cpt-annoying-printk

Patch from Alexey Kuznetsov <alexey@openvz.org>:
[CPT] remove annoying printk

In 2.6.9 printk("=") in refrigerator() is commented out. We should remove printk(">\n") in cpt. The code with comment is not removed, but commented out to remember that we have to return this, if the printk in refrigerator() is uncommented.

diff-cpt-asmlinkage

Patch from Alexey Kuznetsov <alexey@openvz.org>:
[CPT] asmlinkage attribute was forgotten

This fixes CPT with CONFIG_REGPARAM compiled

diff-cpt-caps-fix-20060908

Patch from Pavel Emelianov <xemul@openvz.org>:
[CPT] capabilities check fixes

• namespace->sem is replaced with namespace_sem;
• task->used_math is replaced with tsk_used_math().

diff-cpt-checks-20060908

Patch from Andrey Mirkin <amirkin@openvz.org>:
This patch adds checking for unsupported CPT features.

diff-cpt-clone-zombie

Patch from Alexey Kuznetsov <alexey@openvz.org>:
[CPT] restoring threads with tsk->fs==NULL

If a nptl thread is ptraced, it does not die immediately and we can arrive to the state:

  parent
      |
  main_thread    -----> thread1 [ptraced]
  in TASK_ZOMBIE        in TASK_ZOMBIE

To restore such configuration we do kernel_thread(CLONE_SIGNAL) in context of main_thread. But if it is exited, it has tsk->fs == NULL and kernel oopes.

Suggested fix is very simple: we just attach temporary fs_struct from init task of VE. Also, we have to delay initialization of tsk->group_exit, otherwise kernel will not allow us to clone.

This fix is pragmatic.

Better fix would be restructuring of restore to delay zombification until the last stage of restore. I.e. we could restore all the tree of alive processes with all the attributes of alive task (fs, mm etc). And after it is complete, we could make one more pass and collect garbage killing zombie tasks and clearing fs, mm etc. It would be cleaner and safer, but requires too much of changes.

Bug #65219.

diff-cpt-core-misc-2

Removed hunks after optimisation patches

diff-cpt-func-declaration-fix-20060916

Patch from Pavel Emelianov <xemul@openvz.org>:
[CPT] Don't leave function argument list empty - use 'void'

diff-cpt-ifindex-renumber-2.6.16-20060908

Patch from Andrey Mirkin <amirkin@openvz.org>:

This patch adds renumbering of netdev->ifindex'es on restore process. We can do this because network is suspended. All manipulations are protected with rtnl_lock().

diff-cpt-iptables-path

Patch from Andrey Mirkin <amirkin@openvz.org>:
This patch fixes iptables save/restore on SUSE.

Bug #62837.

diff-cpt-kernel-dpath-20060908

Patch from Pavel Emelianov <xemul@openvz.org>:
Export and unstatic __d_path() call for CPT capability checks.

diff-cpt-mm-eagain-20060817

Patch from Andrey Mirkin <amirkin@openvz.org>:
In tests we can see message: "mm_struct is referenced outside" After that message checkpoint fails.

It seems that this situation is legal, so checkpoint could be restarted. So we return -EAGAIN to be able to restart checkpoint.

diff-cpt-net-ifindex-cleanup-20060908

Patch from Andrey Mirkin <amirkin@openvz.org>:
This patch removes renumbering of ifindexes of venet and loopback devices on restore.

diff-cpt-net-lock-20060727

Patch from Andrey Mirkin <amirkin@openvz.org>:
Network devices list were not protected while checkpoining.

This patch adds necessary protection.

diff-cpt-ptraceme-20060908

Patch from Alexey Kuznetsov <alexey@openvz.org>:
[CPT] SMP race in detecting state of ptraced processes

When suspending VE, we test state of processes while they are still running. It is not a bug: we have to verify for invalid state before checkpointing, real state is saved after processes are scheduled out.

The impact is that we can see process in a bad state, f.e. stopped without any reasons. It is also not a bug, but this rersults in random failures of checkpointing. The only way to fix this is to order updates of state variables. The order is correct almost everywhere.

diff-cpt-restore-mnt-flags-20060831

Patch from Andrey Mirkin <amirkin@openvz.org>:

Mount point's mnt_flags (noexec,nosuid,nodev) were omitted and not restored correctly.

This patch should be applied with patch for bind mounts in other case we should do the following:

1. Remove check for bind-mounts in do_remount() function
2. Change procedure for restoring bind-mounts in next way:

        do_mount(bind);
        do_remount(mnt_flags).
   

diff-cpt-rst-dir

Patch from Alexey Kuznetsov <alexey@openvz.org>:
[CPT] do not keep open cwd while restore

>>From the viewpoint of CPT, cwd/root are very similar to an open file, it is just pair dentry/mnt. Normally, when opening some file we store it and its inode in special object cache to resolve opening of the same inode, when some of its aliases (dentries) are deleted.

But it is useless for directories, which cannot be hardlinked ever. And this consumes numfile UBC, so that restore can fail easily. So, do not store cwd/root file, unless it is deleted. This does not solve problem with restoring VE hitting numfiles, but relieves it a lot.

Now we can temporarily increase numfile limit while cpt/rst by 2 and everything should be OK.

diff-cpt-rst-sigdfl-20060830

Patch from Alexey Kuznetsov <alexey@openvz.org>: [CPT] save/restore even SIG_DFL handlers

Linux has a funny feature: when SA_ONESHOT signal resets handler, flags are not set to default. And LTP tests verify this pathology.

diff-cpt-suid-dumpable

Patch from Alexey Kuznetsov <alexey@openvz.org>:
[CPT] restore mm->dumpable correctly

mm->dumpable is not boolean in >=2.6.9, but tri-state. Just save and restore raw value.

diff-cpt-suspend-cleanup

Patch from Kirill Korotaev <dev@openvz.org>:
Fix of compilation of diff-cpt-suspend-cleanup.

diff-cpt-susp-printk-20060908

Patch from Pavel Emelianov <xemul@openvz.org>:
[CPT] Remove printk("|\n") from refrigerator. (#55914)

diff-cpt-tcp-bind-bug-20060831

Patch from Alexey Kuznetsov <alexey@openvz.org>:
[CPT] tcp sockets were bind()ed incorrectly during restore

This case was totally missed. Fortunately, this happens rarely.

If checkpoint happens after some listening socket was closed, but it left behind some children (including timewait buckets), restore fails to bind them, unless the service used SO_REUSEADDR.

Stress checkpointing of LTP tests did not catch this earlier only because... I repaired the tests not to fail upon exhaustion of port space some time ago. Before that they failed with obvious and harmless diagnosis long before the first binding conflict happened.

diff-cpt-ve-features-20060815

Patch from Andrey Mirkin <amirkin@openvz.org>:

Feature set were not saved in CPT, so VEs based on SUSE template could fail after restore (VE_FEATURE_SYSFS was lost). Save feature set in place which were not used before (cpt_os_version and cpt_os_features fields in image header).

diff-cpt-veth-support-20060616

Patch from Andrey Mirkin <amirkin@openvz.org>:
[CPT] This patch adds veth support in CPT

diff-cpt-wait-task-cleanup-20060908

Patch from Alexey Kuznetsov <alexey@openvz.org>:
[CPT] fix compilation with CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO

Just #undef it.

diff-cpt-x8664-setpriority

Patch from Alexey Kuznetsov <alexey@openvz.org>:
[CPT] process priority was restored incorrectly on x86_64

Ugly type casting bug. u32 was implicitly casted to long and on 64bit archs negative nice values were rejected as huge positive ones.

diff-dbg-show-top-slabs-20060727

Patch from Pavel Emelianov <xemul@openvz.org>:
Show info about the largest kmem caches in OOM killer and SysRq-M handler.

Patch from OpenVZ team <devel@openvz.org>:
Merged 2.6.16.29 from /linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.16.y

diff-ms-bind-mount-flags-20060816

Patch from Andrey Mirkin <amirkin@openvz.org>:

This patch adds support of 3 mount flags to bind mount Now we can do bind mounts with noexec, nosuid and nodev options w/o need to do remount.

diff-ms-nf-compat-non-x86-20060831

Patch from Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>:
[NETFILTER] x_tables: fix compat related crash on non-x86

When iptables userspace adds an ipt_standard_target, it calculates the size of the entire entry as:

sizeof(struct ipt_entry) + XT_ALIGN(sizeof(struct ipt_standard_target))

ipt_standard_target looks like this:

struct xt_standard_target
{
      struct xt_entry_target target;
      int verdict;
};

xt_entry_target contains a pointer, so when compiled for 64 bit the structure gets an extra 4 byte of padding at the end. On 32 bit architectures where iptables aligns to 8 byte it will also have 4 byte padding at the end because it is only 36 bytes large.

The compat_ipt_standard_fn in the kernel adjusts the offsets by

 sizeof(struct ipt_standard_target) -
     sizeof(struct compat_ipt_standard_target),

which will always result in 4, even if the structure from userspace was already padded to a multiple of 8. On x86 this works out by accident because userspace only aligns to 4, on all other architectures this is broken and causes incorrect adjustments to the size and following offsets.

Thanks to Linus for lots of debugging help and testing.

diff-ubc-dcachecom-20060417

Patch from Andrey Savochkin <saw@openvz.org>:
This patch fixes currently incorrect comments about locking in dcache.

diff-ubc-dcacheopt-20060906

Patch from Andrey Savochkin <saw@openvz.org>:
Dcachesize accounting optimization.

The accounting becomes conditional, and dentries start to be accounted only when a given fraction of normal zone is consumed by dcache. On switching accounting on and off, all dentries are walked in stop_machine and charged to ub0 or uncharged.

Port for 2.6.16 by Pavel Emelianov <xemul@openvz.org>

diff-ubc-fileopt-20060504

Patch from Andrey Savochkin <saw@openvz.org>:
Main part of file accounting optimization.

• files are charged by quants;
• pre-charged but not used amount is kept in task_beancounter.

diff-ubc-fileopt-2-20060504

Patch from Andrey Savochkin <saw@openvz.org>:
Additional optimizations of file and kmemsize accounting, fixes.

• files are now charged to kmemsize explicitly, not through SLAB_UBC;
• certain amount of numfile and their kmemsize is precharged at fork;
• poll tables of small size are not charged at all;
• get_beancounter_batch and put_beancounter_batch are introduced to adjust refcounts at precharge/uncharge time, in batches, instead of at each allocation/deallocation.

diff-ubc-fileopt-fix-20060908

Patch from Pavel Emelianov <xemul@openvz.org>:
Take kmem memory usage for file_cachep directly fro cachep.

diff-ubc-filkmemopt-20060907

Patch from Andrey Savochkin <saw@openvz.org>:

More file/kmemsize accounting fixes related to charges/uncharges to wrong beancounters, as seen when testing optimisation.

diff-ubc-gfp-type-20060915

Found by sparse.

diff-ubc-kmemopt-20060504

Patch from Andrey Savochkin <saw@openvz.org>:
Start of kmemsize accounting optimization.

• kmemsize is accounted by quants;
• per-charged amounts are kept in task_beancounter for faster and lockless charge/uncharge operations.

diff-ubc-kmemopt-2-20060907

Patch from Andrey Savochkin <saw@openvz.org>:
File and kmemsize accounting optimization fixes and improvements.

• missing uncharge added;
• a lot of likely/unlikely added;
• files are really charged into kmemsize;
• the problem of atomicity of per-task field is resolved by shifting irq_disable/enable around kmemsize charge calls.

diff-ubc-kmemopt-caches-20060504

Patch from Andrey Savochkin <saw@openvz.org>:
Another small but important optimization of kmemsize charges.

The maintenance of SLAB_UBC infrastructure is costly, so kmalloc caches were duplicated, one for !SLAB_UBC allocations and one for SLAB_UBC ones. Deallocations in the former avoid the extra work of checking whether the object was charged.

diff-ubc-kmemopt-fix-20060908

Patch from Pavel Emelianov <xemul@openvz.org>:
[UBC] Fix UB_NUMFILE accounting optimisation leak

In 2.6.16 files are put via RCU, so ub_file_uncharge() is called in IRQ context. Thus non-atomic decrement of file_precharged must be done with IRQs disabled.

minor: severity renamed to ub_severity, to keep this name in proper namespace.

diff-ubc-twcount-20060907

Patch from Denis Lunev <den@openvz.org>:
Per-UB limitation to the number of TCP timewait buckets.

This is done to disallow to eat VE kernel memory by them completely. Unfortunately, virtualized sysctl can't help, as TW buckets live after actual VE death, so the counter on UB is used.

So, the number of TW buckets is limited by

• number of buckets allowed for a UB
• the fraction of kernel memory limit (in 1024th)

which one is reached first (#61789)

Ported on 2.6.16 by Xemul.

diff-ve-memleak-fib-hash-20060828

Patch from Alexey Kuznetsov <alexey@openvz.org>:
[PATCH] memory leakage in fib_hash

FIB hash tables and zone structs were never freed. Each time, when VE is stopped, they leak.

vzctl chkpnt/restore tests bring a system with 4G of ram quite soon. Of course, vzctl start/stop is not so fast to bring down a system with decent amount of RAM, but hundreds of thousands of slab entries are still well visible.

The patch solves leakage in size-128 and most of leakage in size-64.

We still leak two objects in size-64 and 6 entries in size-32.
