kthread_worker: check all delayed works when destroy kthread worker

2023-02-03T06:50:02Z

When destroying a kthread worker warn if there are still some pending delayed works. This indicates that the caller should clear all pending delayed works before destroying the kthread worker.

signal: break out of wait loops on kthread_stop()

2022-07-18T14:53:38Z

I was recently surprised to learn that msleep_interruptible(), wait_for_completion_interruptible_timeout(), and related functions simply hung when I called kthread_stop() on kthreads using them. The solution to fixing the case with msleep_interruptible() was more simply to move to schedule_timeout_interruptible(). Why? The reason is that msleep_interruptible(), and many functions just like it, has a loop like this: while (timeout && !signal_pending(current)) timeout = schedule_timeout_interruptible(timeout); The call to kthread_stop() woke up the thread, so schedule_timeout_ interruptible() returned early, but because signal_pending() returned true, it went back into another timeout, which was never woken up. This wait loop pattern is common to various pieces of code, and I suspect that the subtle misuse in a kthread that caused a deadlock in the code I looked at last week is also found elsewhere. So this commit causes signal_pending() to return true when kthread_stop() is called, by setting TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL. The same also probably applies to the similar kthread_park() functionality, but that can be addressed later, as its semantics are slightly different. Cc: Eric W. Biederman Signed-off-by: Jason A.

kthread: make it clear that kthread_create_on_node() might be terminated by any fatal signal

2022-06-17T02:11:30Z

The comments in kernel/kthread.c create a feeling that only SIGKILL is able to terminate the creation of kernel kthreads by kthread_create()/_on_node()/_on_cpu() APIs. In reality, wait_for_completion_killable() might be killed by any fatal signal that does not have a custom handler: (!siginmask(signr, SIG_KERNEL_IGNORE_MASK|SIG_KERNEL_STOP_MASK) && \ (t)->sighand->action[(signr)-1].sa.sa_handler == SIG_DFL) static inline void signal_wake_up(struct task_struct *t, bool resume) { signal_wake_up_state(t, resume ? TASK_WAKEKILL : 0); } static void complete_signal(int sig, struct task_struct *p, enum pid_type type) { [...] /* * Found a killable thread. If the signal will be fatal, * then start taking the whole group down immediately. */ if (sig_fatal(p, sig) ...) { if (!sig_kernel_coredump(sig)) { [...] do { task_clear_jobctl_pending(t, JOBCTL_PENDING_MASK); sigaddset(&t->pending.signal, SIGKILL); signal_wake_up(t, 1); } while_each_thread(p, t); return; } } } Update the comments in kernel/kthread.c to make this more obvious. The motivation for this change was debugging why a module initialization failed. The module was being loaded from initrd. It "magically" failed when systemd was switching to the real root. The clean up operations sent SIGTERM to various pending processed that were started from initrd.

uaccess: remove CONFIG_SET_FS

2022-02-25T08:36:06Z

There are no remaining callers of set_fs(), so CONFIG_SET_FS can be removed globally, along with the thread_info field and any references to it. This turns access_ok() into a cheaper check against TASK_SIZE_MAX. As CONFIG_SET_FS is now gone, drop all remaining references to set_fs()/get_fs(), mm_segment_t, user_addr_max() and uaccess_kernel(). Acked-by: Sam Ravnborg # for sparc32 changes Acked-by: "Eric W.

sched/isolation: Use single feature type while referring to housekeeping cpumask

Refer to housekeeping APIs using single feature types instead of flags. This prevents from passing multiple isolation features at once to housekeeping interfaces, which soon won't be possible anymore as each isolation features will have their own cpumask.
