The patch titled Subject: lib/test_lockup.c: add parameters for locking generic vfs locks has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is lib-test_lockup-add-parameters-for-locking-generic-vfs-locks.patch This patch should soon appear at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/lib-test_lockup-add-parameters-for-locking-generic-vfs-locks.patch and later at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/lib-test_lockup-add-parameters-for-locking-generic-vfs-locks.patch Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/process/submit-checklist.rst when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next and is updated there every 3-4 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Konstantin Khlebnikov <khlebnikov@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: lib/test_lockup.c: add parameters for locking generic vfs locks file_path=<path> defines file or directory to open lock_inode=Y set lock_rwsem_ptr to inode->i_rwsem lock_mapping=Y set lock_rwsem_ptr to mapping->i_mmap_rwsem lock_sb_umount=Y set lock_rwsem_ptr to sb->s_umount This gives safe and simple way to see how system reacts to contention of common vfs locks and how syscalls depend on them directly or indirectly. For example to block s_umount for 60 seconds: # modprobe test_lockup file_path=. lock_sb_umount time_secs=60 state=S This is useful for checking/testing scalability issues like this: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/158497590858.7371.9311902565121473436.stgit@buzz/ Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/158498153964.5621.83061779039255681.stgit@buzz Signed-off-by: Konstantin Khlebnikov <khlebnikov@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Guenter Roeck <linux@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Kees Cook <keescook@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Petr Mladek <pmladek@xxxxxxxx> Cc: Sasha Levin <sashal@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Sergey Senozhatsky <sergey.senozhatsky@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- lib/test_lockup.c | 45 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 45 insertions(+) --- a/lib/test_lockup.c~lib-test_lockup-add-parameters-for-locking-generic-vfs-locks +++ a/lib/test_lockup.c @@ -14,6 +14,7 @@ #include <linux/nmi.h> #include <linux/mm.h> #include <linux/uaccess.h> +#include <linux/file.h> static unsigned int time_secs; module_param(time_secs, uint, 0600); @@ -140,6 +141,24 @@ static bool reallocate_pages; module_param(reallocate_pages, bool, 0400); MODULE_PARM_DESC(reallocate_pages, "free and allocate pages between iterations"); +struct file *test_file; +struct inode *test_inode; +static char test_file_path[256]; +module_param_string(file_path, test_file_path, sizeof(test_file_path), 0400); +MODULE_PARM_DESC(file_path, "file path to test"); + +static bool test_lock_inode; +module_param_named(lock_inode, test_lock_inode, bool, 0400); +MODULE_PARM_DESC(lock_inode, "lock file -> inode -> i_rwsem"); + +static bool test_lock_mapping; +module_param_named(lock_mapping, test_lock_mapping, bool, 0400); +MODULE_PARM_DESC(lock_mapping, "lock file -> mapping -> i_mmap_rwsem"); + +static bool test_lock_sb_umount; +module_param_named(lock_sb_umount, test_lock_sb_umount, bool, 0400); +MODULE_PARM_DESC(lock_sb_umount, "lock file -> sb -> s_umount"); + static atomic_t alloc_pages_failed = ATOMIC_INIT(0); static atomic64_t max_lock_wait = ATOMIC64_INIT(0); @@ -490,6 +509,29 @@ static int __init test_lockup_init(void) return -EINVAL; } + if (test_file_path[0]) { + test_file = filp_open(test_file_path, O_RDONLY, 0); + if (IS_ERR(test_file)) { + pr_err("cannot find file_path\n"); + return -EINVAL; + } + test_inode = file_inode(test_file); + } else if (test_lock_inode || + test_lock_mapping || + test_lock_sb_umount) { + pr_err("no file to lock\n"); + return -EINVAL; + } + + if (test_lock_inode && test_inode) + lock_rwsem_ptr = (unsigned long)&test_inode->i_rwsem; + + if (test_lock_mapping && test_file && test_file->f_mapping) + lock_rwsem_ptr = (unsigned long)&test_file->f_mapping->i_mmap_rwsem; + + if (test_lock_sb_umount && test_inode) + lock_rwsem_ptr = (unsigned long)&test_inode->i_sb->s_umount; + pr_notice("START pid=%d time=%u +%u ns cooldown=%u +%u ns iterations=%u state=%s %s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s\n", main_task->pid, time_secs, time_nsecs, cooldown_secs, cooldown_nsecs, iterations, state, @@ -542,6 +584,9 @@ static int __init test_lockup_init(void) pr_notice("FINISH in %llu ns\n", local_clock() - test_start); + if (test_file) + fput(test_file); + if (signal_pending(main_task)) return -EINTR; _ Patches currently in -mm which might be from khlebnikov@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx are kernel-watchdog-flush-all-printk-nmi-buffers-when-hardlockup-detected.patch lib-test_lockup-test-module-to-generate-lockups.patch lib-test_lockup-add-parameters-for-locking-generic-vfs-locks.patch
