Under tcp memory pressure, calling epoll_wait() in edge triggered
mode after -EAGAIN, can result in an indefinite hang in epoll_wait(),
even when there is sufficient memory available to continue making
progress. The problem is that when __sk_mem_schedule() returns 0
under memory pressure, we do not set the SOCK_NOSPACE flag in the
tcp write paths (tcp_sendmsg() or do_tcp_sendpages()). Then, since
SOCK_NOSPACE is used to trigger wakeups when incoming acks create
sufficient new space in the write queue, all outstanding packets
are acked, but we never wake up with the the EPOLLOUT that we are
expecting from epoll_wait().
This issue is currently limited to epoll() when used in edge trigger
mode, since 'tcp_poll()', does in fact currently set SOCK_NOSPACE.
This is sufficient for poll()/select() and epoll() in level trigger
mode. However, in edge trigger mode, epoll() is relying on the write
path to set SOCK_NOSPACE. EPOLL(7) says that in edge-trigger mode we
can only call epoll_wait() after read/write return -EAGAIN. Thus, in
the case of the socket write, we are relying on the fact that
tcp_sendmsg()/network write paths are going to issue a wakeup for
us at some point in the future when we get -EAGAIN.
Normally, epoll() edge trigger works fine when we've exceeded the
sk->sndbuf because in that case we do set SOCK_NOSPACE. However, when
we return -EAGAIN from the write path b/c we are over the tcp memory
limits and not b/c we are over the sndbuf, we are never going to get
another wakeup.
I can reproduce this issue, using SO_SNDBUF, since __sk_mem_schedule()
will return 0, or failure more readily with SO_SNDBUF:
1) create socket and set SO_SNDBUF to N
2) add socket as edge trigger
3) write to socket and block in epoll on -EAGAIN
4) cause tcp mem pressure via: echo "<small val>" > net.ipv4.tcp_mem
The fix here is simply to set SOCK_NOSPACE in sk_stream_wait_memory()
when the socket is non-blocking. Note that SOCK_NOSPACE, in addition
to waking up outstanding waiters is also used to expand the size of
the sk->sndbuf. However, we will not expand it by setting it in this
case because tcp_should_expand_sndbuf(), ensures that no expansion
occurs when we are under tcp memory pressure.
Note that we could still hang if sk->sk_wmem_queue is 0, when we get
the -EAGAIN. In this case the SOCK_NOSPACE bit will not help, since we
are waiting for and event that will never happen. I believe
that this case is harder to hit (and did not hit in my testing),
in that over the tcp 'soft' memory limits, we continue to guarantee a
minimum write buffer size. Perhaps, we could return -ENOSPC in this
case, or maybe we simply issue a wakeup in this case, such that we
keep retrying the write. Note that this case is not specific to
epoll() ET, but rather would affect blocking sockets as well. So I
view this patch as bringing epoll() edge-trigger into sync with the
current poll()/select()/epoll() level trigger and blocking sockets
behavior.

This patch fixes the condition (3rd arg) passed to sk_wait_event() in
sk_stream_wait_memory(). The incorrect check in sk_stream_wait_memory()
causes the following soft lockup in tcp_sendmsg() when the global tcp
memory pool has exhausted.

What is happening is, that the sk_wait_event() condition passed from
sk_stream_wait_memory() evaluates to true for the case of tcp global memory
exhaustion. This is because both sk_stream_memory_free() and vm_wait are true
which causes sk_wait_event() to *not* call schedule_timeout().
Hence sk_stream_wait_memory() returns immediately to the caller w/o sleeping.
This causes the caller to again try allocation, which again fails and again
calls sk_stream_wait_memory(), and so on.

sk_callback_lock rwlock actually protects sk->sk_sleep pointer, so we
need two atomic operations (and associated dirtying) per incoming
packet.
RCU conversion is pretty much needed :
1) Add a new structure, called "struct socket_wq" to hold all fields
that will need rcu_read_lock() protection (currently: a
wait_queue_head_t and a struct fasync_struct pointer).
[Future patch will add a list anchor for wakeup coalescing]
2) Attach one of such structure to each "struct socket" created in
sock_alloc_inode().
3) Respect RCU grace period when freeing a "struct socket_wq"
4) Change sk_sleep pointer in "struct sock" by sk_wq, pointer to "struct
socket_wq"
5) Change sk_sleep() function to use new sk->sk_wq instead of
sk->sk_sleep
6) Change sk_has_sleeper() to wq_has_sleeper() that must be used inside
a rcu_read_lock() section.
7) Change all sk_has_sleeper() callers to :
- Use rcu_read_lock() instead of read_lock(&sk->sk_callback_lock)
- Use wq_has_sleeper() to eventually wakeup tasks.
- Use rcu_read_unlock() instead of read_unlock(&sk->sk_callback_lock)
8) sock_wake_async() is modified to use rcu protection as well.
9) Exceptions :
macvtap, drivers/net/tun.c, af_unix use integrated "struct socket_wq"
instead of dynamically allocated ones. They dont need rcu freeing.
Some cleanups or followups are probably needed, (possible
sk_callback_lock conversion to a spinlock for example...).

Removes legacy reinvent-the-wheel type thing. The generic
machinery integrates much better to automated debugging aids
such as kerneloops.org (and others), and is unambiguous due to
better naming. Non-intuively BUG_TRAP() is actually equal to
WARN_ON() rather than BUG_ON() though some might actually be
promoted to BUG_ON() but I left that to future.

This patch introduces new memory accounting functions for each network
protocol. Most of them are renamed from memory accounting functions
for stream protocols. At the same time, some stream memory accounting
functions are removed since other functions do same thing.
Renaming:
sk_stream_free_skb() -> sk_wmem_free_skb()
__sk_stream_mem_reclaim() -> __sk_mem_reclaim()
sk_stream_mem_reclaim() -> sk_mem_reclaim()
sk_stream_mem_schedule -> __sk_mem_schedule()
sk_stream_pages() -> sk_mem_pages()
sk_stream_rmem_schedule() -> sk_rmem_schedule()
sk_stream_wmem_schedule() -> sk_wmem_schedule()
sk_charge_skb() -> sk_mem_charge()
Removeing
sk_stream_rfree(): consolidates into sock_rfree()
sk_stream_set_owner_r(): consolidates into skb_set_owner_r()
sk_stream_mem_schedule()
The following functions are added.
sk_has_account(): check if the protocol supports accounting
sk_mem_uncharge(): do the opposite of sk_mem_charge()
In addition, to achieve consolidation, updating sk_wmem_queued is
removed from sk_mem_charge().
Next, to consolidate memory accounting functions, this patch adds
memory accounting calls to network core functions. Moreover, present
memory accounting call is renamed to new accounting call.
Finally we replace present memory accounting calls with new interface
in TCP and SCTP.

This patchs introduces SK_STREAM_MEM_QUANTUM_SHIFT, defined
as ilog2(SK_STREAM_MEM_QUANTUM), to be able to use right
shifts instead of plain divides.
This should help compiler to choose right shifts instead of

The sock_wake_async() performs a bit different actions
depending on "how" argument. Unfortunately this argument
ony has numerical magic values.
I propose to give names to their constants to help people
reading this function callers understand what's going on
without looking into this function all the time.
I suppose this is 2.6.25 material, but if it's not (or the
naming seems poor/bad/awful), I can rework it against the

This function references sk->sk_prot->xxx for many times.
It turned out, that there's so many code in it, that gcc
cannot always optimize access to sk->sk_prot's fields.
After saving the sk->sk_prot on the stack and comparing
disassembled code, it turned out that the function became
~10 bytes shorter and made less dereferences (on i386 and
x86_64). Stack consumption didn't grow.
Besides, this patch drives most of this function into the

It also looks like there were 2 places where the test on sk_err was
missing from the event wait logic (in sk_stream_wait_connect and
sk_stream_wait_memory), while the rest of the sock_error() users look

When sk_stream_wait_connect detects a state transition to ESTABLISHED
or CLOSE_WAIT prior to it going to sleep, it will return without
calling finish_wait and decrementing sk_write_pending.
This may result in crashes and other unintended behaviour.
The fix is to always call finish_wait and update sk_write_pending since
it is safe to do so even if the wait entry is no longer on the queue.
This bug was tracked down with the help of Alex Sidorenko and the
fix is also based on his suggestion.

I have recompiled Linux kernel 2.6.11.5 documentation for me and our
university students again. The documentation could be extended for more
sources which are equipped by structured comments for recent 2.6 kernels. I
have tried to proceed with that task. I have done that more times from 2.6.0
time and it gets boring to do same changes again and again. Linux kernel
compiles after changes for i386 and ARM targets. I have added references to
some more files into kernel-api book, I have added some section names as well.
So please, check that changes do not break something and that categories are
not too much skewed.
I have changed kernel-doc to accept "fastcall" and "asmlinkage" words reserved
by kernel convention. Most of the other changes are modifications in the
comments to make kernel-doc happy, accept some parameters description and do
not bail out on errors. Changed <pid> to @pid in the description, moved some
#ifdef before comments to correct function to comments bindings, etc.
You can see result of the modified documentation build at
http://cmp.felk.cvut.cz/~pisa/linux/lkdb-2.6.11.tar.gz
Some more sources are ready to be included into kernel-doc generated
documentation. Sources has been added into kernel-api for now. Some more
section names added and probably some more chaos introduced as result of quick
cleanup work.

3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
