Unloading a modular pstore backend with records in pstorefs would
trigger the dput() double-drop warning:
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 2569 at fs/dcache.c:762 dput.part.0+0x3f3/0x410
Using the combo of d_drop()/dput() (as mentioned in

leads to the reference counting problem seen above. Use d_invalidate()
and update the code to not bother checking for error codes that can

In persistent_ram_init_ecc(), on 64-bit arches DIV_ROUND_UP() will return
64-bit value since persistent_ram_zone::buffer_size has type size_t which
is derived from the 64-bit *unsigned long*, while the ecc_blocks variable
this value gets assigned to has (always 32-bit) *int* type. Even if that
value fits into *int* type, an overflow is still possible when calculating
the size_t typed ecc_total variable further below since there's no cast to
any 64-bit type before multiplication. Declaring the ecc_blocks variable
as *size_t* should fix this mess...

When the number of cpu cores is adjusted to 7 or other odd numbers,
the zone size will become an odd number.
The address of the zone will become:
addr of zone0 = BASE
addr of zone1 = BASE + zone_size
addr of zone2 = BASE + zone_size*2
...
The address of zone1/3/5/7 will be mapped to non-alignment va.
Eventually crashes will occur when accessing these va.

Commit 1756ddea69 ("pstore: Remove worst-case compression size logic")
removed some clunky per-algorithm worst case size estimation routines on
the basis that we can always store pstore records uncompressed, and
these worst case estimations are about how much the size might
inadvertently *increase* due to encapsulation overhead when the input
cannot be compressed at all. So if compression results in a size
increase, we just store the original data instead.
However, it seems that the original code was misinterpreting these
calculations as an estimation of how much uncompressed data might fit
into a compressed buffer of a given size, and it was using the results
to consume the input data in larger chunks than the pstore record size,
relying on the compression to ensure that what ultimately gets stored
fits into the available space.
One result of this, as observed and reported by Linus, is that upgrading
to a newer kernel that includes the given commit may result in pstore
decompression errors reported in the kernel log. This is due to the fact
that the existing records may unexpectedly decompress to a size that is
larger than the pstore record size.
Another potential problem caused by this change is that we may
underutilize the fixed sized records on pstore backends such as ramoops.
And on pstore backends with variable sized records such as EFI, we will
end up creating many more entries than before to store the same amount
of compressed data.
So let's fix both issues, by bringing back the typical case estimation of
how much ASCII text captured from the dmesg log might fit into a pstore
record of a given size after compression. The original implementation
used the computation given below for zlib:
switch (size) {
/* buffer range for efivars */
case 1000 ... 2000:
cmpr = 56;
break;
case 2001 ... 3000:
cmpr = 54;
break;
case 3001 ... 3999:
cmpr = 52;
break;
/* buffer range for nvram, erst */
case 4000 ... 10000:
cmpr = 45;
break;
default:
cmpr = 60;
break;
}
return (size * 100) / cmpr;
We will use the previous worst-case of 60% for compression. For
decompression go extra large (3x) so we make sure there's enough space
for anything.
While at it, rate limit the error message so we don't flood the log
unnecessarily on systems that have accumulated a lot of pstore history.

Currently pstore record buffers are allocated using kmalloc() which has
a maximum size based on page size. If a large "pmsg-size" module
parameter is specified, pmsg will fail to copy the contents since
memdup_user() is limited to kmalloc() allocation sizes.
Since we don't need physically contiguous memory for any of the pstore
record buffers, use kvzalloc() to avoid such limitations in the core of
pstore and in the ram backend, and explicitly read from userspace using
vmemdup_user(). This also means that any other backends that want to
(or do already) support larger record sizes will Just Work now.

Pstore supports compression using a variety of algorithms exposed by the
crypto API. This uses the deprecated comp (as opposed to scomp/acomp)
API, and so we should stop using that, and either move to the new API,
or switch to a different approach entirely.
Given that we only compress ASCII text in pstore, and considering that
this happens when the system is likely to be in an unstable state, the
flexibility that the complex crypto API provides does not outweigh its
impact on the risk that we might encounter additional problems when
trying to commit the kernel log contents to the pstore backend.
So let's switch [back] to the zlib deflate library API, and remove all
the complexity that really has no place in a low-level diagnostic
facility. Note that, while more modern compression algorithms have been
added to the kernel in recent years, the code size of zlib deflate is
substantially smaller than, e.g., zstd, while its performance in terms
of compression ratio is comparable for ASCII text, and speed is deemed
irrelevant in this context.
Note that this means that compressed pstore records may no longer be
accessible after a kernel upgrade, but this has never been part of the
contract. (The choice of compression algorithm is not stored in the
pstore records either)

The worst case compression size used by pstore gives an upper bound for
how much the data might inadvertently *grow* due to encapsulation
overhead if the input is not compressible at all.
Given that pstore records have individual 'compressed' flags, we can
simply store the uncompressed data if compressing it would end up using
more space, making the worst case identical to the uncompressed case.
This means we can just drop all the elaborate logic that reasons about
upper bounds for each individual compression algorithm, and just store
the uncompressed data directly if compression fails for any reason.

The .remove() callback for a platform driver returns an int which makes
many driver authors wrongly assume it's possible to do error handling by
returning an error code. However the value returned is (mostly) ignored
and this typically results in resource leaks. To improve here there is a
quest to make the remove callback return void. In the first step of this
quest all drivers are converted to .remove_new() which already returns
void.
Trivially convert this driver from always returning zero in the remove
callback to the void returning variant.

This reverts commit 76d62f24db.
So while priority inversion on the pmsg_lock is an occasional
problem that an rt_mutex would help with, in uses where logging
is writing to pmsg heavily from multiple threads, the pmsg_lock
can be heavily contended.
After this change landed, it was reported that cases where the
mutex locking overhead was commonly adding on the order of 10s
of usecs delay had suddenly jumped to ~msec delay with rtmutex.
It seems the slight differences in the locks under this level
of contention causes the normal mutexes to utilize the spinning
optimizations, while the rtmutexes end up in the sleeping
slowpath (which allows additional threads to pile on trying
to take the lock).
In this case, it devolves to a worse case senerio where the lock
acquisition and scheduling overhead dominates, and each thread
is waiting on the order of ~ms to do ~us of work.
Obviously, having tons of threads all contending on a single
lock for logging is non-optimal, so the proper fix is probably
reworking pstore pmsg to have per-cpu buffers so we don't have
contention.
Additionally, Steven Rostedt has provided some furhter
optimizations for rtmutexes that improves the rtmutex spinning
path, but at least in my testing, I still see the test tripping
into the sleeping path on rtmutexes while utilizing the spinning
path with mutexes.
But in the short term, lets revert the change to the rt_mutex
and go back to normal mutexes to avoid a potentially major
performance regression. And we can work on optimizations to both
rtmutexes and finer-grained locking for pstore pmsg in the
future.

Here is the set of driver core and kernfs changes for 6.2-rc1.
The "big" change in here is the addition of a new macro,
container_of_const() that will preserve the "const-ness" of a pointer
passed into it.
The "problem" of the current container_of() macro is that if you pass in
a "const *", out of it can comes a non-const pointer unless you
specifically ask for it. For many usages, we want to preserve the
"const" attribute by using the same call. For a specific example, this
series changes the kobj_to_dev() macro to use it, allowing it to be used
no matter what the const value is. This prevents every subsystem from
having to declare 2 different individual macros (i.e.
kobj_const_to_dev() and kobj_to_dev()) and having the compiler enforce
the const value at build time, which having 2 macros would not do
either.
The driver for all of this have been discussions with the Rust kernel
developers as to how to properly mark driver core, and kobject, objects
as being "non-mutable". The changes to the kobject and driver core in
this pull request are the result of that, as there are lots of paths
where kobjects and device pointers are not modified at all, so marking
them as "const" allows the compiler to enforce this.
So, a nice side affect of the Rust development effort has been already
to clean up the driver core code to be more obvious about object rules.
All of this has been bike-shedded in quite a lot of detail on lkml with
different names and implementations resulting in the tiny version we
have in here, much better than my original proposal. Lots of subsystem
maintainers have acked the changes as well.
Other than this change, included in here are smaller stuff like:
- kernfs fixes and updates to handle lock contention better
- vmlinux.lds.h fixes and updates
- sysfs and debugfs documentation updates
- device property updates
All of these have been in the linux-next tree for quite a while with no
problems, OTHER than some merge issues with other trees that should be
obvious when you hit them (block tree deletes a driver that this tree
modifies, iommufd tree modifies code that this tree also touches). If
there are merge problems with these trees, please let me know.

objects as being "non-mutable". The changes to the kobject and driver
core in this pull request are the result of that, as there are lots of
paths where kobjects and device pointers are not modified at all, so
marking them as "const" allows the compiler to enforce this.
So, a nice side affect of the Rust development effort has been already
to clean up the driver core code to be more obvious about object
rules.
All of this has been bike-shedded in quite a lot of detail on lkml
with different names and implementations resulting in the tiny version
we have in here, much better than my original proposal. Lots of
subsystem maintainers have acked the changes as well.
Other than this change, included in here are smaller stuff like:
- kernfs fixes and updates to handle lock contention better
- vmlinux.lds.h fixes and updates
- sysfs and debugfs documentation updates
- device property updates
All of these have been in the linux-next tree for quite a while with
no problems"

Wei Wang reported seeing priority inversion caused latencies
caused by contention on pmsg_lock, and suggested it be switched
to a rt_mutex.
I was initially hesitant this would help, as the tasks in that
trace all seemed to be SCHED_NORMAL, so the benefit would be
limited to only nice boosting.
However, another similar issue was raised where the priority
inversion was seen did involve a blocked RT task so it is clear
this would be helpful in that case.

During early boot, memblock reserves the pages for the ramoops reserved
memory node in DT that would otherwise be part of the direct lowmem
mapping. Pstore's ram backend reuses those reserved pages to change the
memory type (writeback or non-cached) by passing the pages to vmap()
(see pfn_to_page() usage in persistent_ram_vmap() for more details) with
specific flags. When read_kcore() starts iterating over the vmalloc
region, it runs over the virtual address that vmap() returned for
ramoops. In aligned_vread() the virtual address is passed to
vmalloc_to_page() which returns the page struct for the reserved lowmem
area. That lowmem page is passed to kmap_atomic(), which effectively
calls page_to_virt() that assumes a lowmem page struct must be directly
accessible with __va() and friends. These pages are mapped via vmap()
though, and the lowmem mapping was never made, so accessing them via the
lowmem virtual address oopses like above.
Let's side-step this problem by passing VM_IOREMAP to vmap(). This will
tell vread() to not include the ramoops region in the kcore. Instead the
area will look like a bunch of zeros. The alternative is to teach kmap()
about vmalloc areas that intersect with lowmem. Presumably such a change
isn't a one-liner, and there isn't much interest in inspecting the
ramoops region in kcore files anyway, so the most expedient route is
taken for now.

The pstore dump function doesn't alert at all on errors - despite
pstore is usually a last resource and if it fails users won't be
able to read the kernel log, this is not the case for server users
with serial access, for example.
So, let's at least attempt to inform such advanced users on the first
backend writing error detected during the kmsg dump - this is also
very useful for pstore debugging purposes.

Currently this tuning is only exposed as a filesystem option,
but most Linux distros automatically mount pstore, hence changing
this setting requires remounting it. Also, if that mount option
wasn't explicitly set it doesn't show up in mount information,
so users cannot check what is the current value of kmsg_bytes.
Let's then expose it as a module parameter, allowing both user
visibility at all times (even if not manually set) and also the
possibility of setting that as a boot/module parameter.

The pstore infrastructure supports one single backend at a time;
trying to load a another backend causes an error and displays a
message, introduced on commit 0d7cd09a3d ("pstore: Improve
register_pstore() error reporting").
Happens that this message is not really clear about the situation,
also the current error returned (-EPERM) isn't accurate, whereas
-EBUSY makes more sense. We have another place in the code that
relies in the -EBUSY return for a similar check.
So, make it consistent here by returning -EBUSY and using a
similar message in both scenarios.

When using this new interface, both efi_pstore and ramoops
backends are unable to properly decompress dmesg if using
zstd, lz4 and lzo algorithms (and maybe more). It does succeed
with deflate though.
The message observed in the kernel log is:
[2.328828] pstore: crypto_acomp_decompress failed, ret = -22!
The pstore infrastructure is able to collect the dmesg with
both backends tested, but since decompression fails it's
unreadable. With this revert everything is back to normal.

The info->read() function returns ssize_t. That means that info->read()
either returns either negative error codes or a positive number
representing the bytes read.
The "rcnt" variable should be declared as ssize_t as well. Most places
do this correctly but psz_kmsg_recover_meta() needed to be fixed.
This code casts the "rcnt" to int. That is unnecessary when "rcnt"
is already signed. It's also slightly wrong because if info->read()
returned a very high (more than INT_MAX) number of bytes then this might
treat that as an error. This bug cannot happen in real life, so it
doesn't affect run time, but static checkers correctly complain that it
is wrong.
