Once the kthread is running and available
(i.e. @printk_kthreads_running is set), the kthread becomes
responsible for flushing any pending messages which are added
in NBCON_PRIO_NORMAL context. Namely the legacy
console_flush_all() and device_release() no longer flush the
console. And nbcon_atomic_flush_pending() used by
nbcon_cpu_emergency_exit() no longer flushes messages added
after the emergency messages.
The console context is safe when used by the kthread only when
one of the following conditions are true:
1. Other caller acquires the console context with
NBCON_PRIO_NORMAL with preemption disabled. It will
release the context before rescheduling.
2. Other caller acquires the console context with
NBCON_PRIO_NORMAL under the device_lock.
3. The kthread is the only context which acquires the console
with NBCON_PRIO_NORMAL.
This is satisfied for all atomic printing call sites:
nbcon_legacy_emit_next_record() (#1)
nbcon_atomic_flush_pending_con() (#1)
nbcon_device_release() (#2)
It is even double guaranteed when @printk_kthreads_running
is set because then _only_ the kthread will print for
NBCON_PRIO_NORMAL. (#3)

When printing via console_lock, the write_atomic() callback is
used for nbcon consoles. However, if it is known that the
current context is a task context, the write_thread() callback
can be used instead.
Using write_thread() instead of write_atomic() helps to reduce
large disabled preemption regions when the device_lock does not
disable preemption.
This is mainly a preparatory change to allow avoiding
write_atomic() completely during normal operation if boot
consoles are registered.
As a side-effect, it also allows consolidating the printing
code for legacy printing and the kthread printer.

Provide the main implementation for running a printer kthread
per nbcon console that is takeover/handover aware. This
includes:
- new mandatory write_thread() callback
- kthread creation
- kthread main printing loop
- kthread wakeup mechanism
- kthread shutdown
kthread creation is a bit tricky because consoles may register
before kthreads can be created. In such cases, registration
will succeed, even though no kthread exists. Once kthreads can
be created, an early_initcall will set @printk_kthreads_ready.
If there are no registered boot consoles, the early_initcall
creates the kthreads for all registered nbcon consoles. If
kthread creation fails, the related console is unregistered.
If there are registered boot consoles when
@printk_kthreads_ready is set, no kthreads are created until
the final boot console unregisters.
Once kthread creation finally occurs, @printk_kthreads_running
is set so that the system knows kthreads are available for all
registered nbcon consoles.
If @printk_kthreads_running is already set when the console
is registering, the kthread is created during registration. If
kthread creation fails, the registration will fail.
Until @printk_kthreads_running is set, console printing occurs
directly via the console_lock.
kthread shutdown on system shutdown/reboot is necessary to
ensure the printer kthreads finish their printing so that the
system can cleanly transition back to direct printing via the
console_lock in order to reliably push out the final
shutdown/reboot messages. @printk_kthreads_running is cleared
before shutting down the individual kthreads.
The kthread uses a new mandatory write_thread() callback that
is called with both device_lock() and the console context
acquired.
The console ownership handling is necessary for synchronization
against write_atomic() which is synchronized only via the
console context ownership.
The device_lock() serializes acquiring the console context with
NBCON_PRIO_NORMAL. It is needed in case the device_lock() does
not disable preemption. It prevents the following race:
CPU0 CPU1
[ task A ]
nbcon_context_try_acquire()
# success with NORMAL prio
# .unsafe == false; // safe for takeover
[ schedule: task A -> B ]
WARN_ON()
nbcon_atomic_flush_pending()
nbcon_context_try_acquire()
# success with EMERGENCY prio
# flushing
nbcon_context_release()
# HERE: con->nbcon_state is free
# to take by anyone !!!
nbcon_context_try_acquire()
# success with NORMAL prio [ task B ]
[ schedule: task B -> A ]
nbcon_enter_unsafe()
nbcon_context_can_proceed()
BUG: nbcon_context_can_proceed() returns "true" because
the console is owned by a context on CPU0 with
NBCON_PRIO_NORMAL.
But it should return "false". The console is owned
by a context from task B and we do the check
in a context from task A.
Note that with these changes, the printer kthreads do not yet
take over full responsibility for nbcon printing during normal
operation. These changes only focus on the lifecycle of the
kthreads.

When initializing an nbcon console, have nbcon_alloc() set
@nbcon_seq to the highest possible sequence number. For all

will have nothing to print until later when @nbcon_seq is

The nbcon consoles will have two callbacks to be used for
different contexts. In order to determine if an nbcon console
is usable, console_is_usable() must know if it is a context
that will need to use the optional write_atomic() callback.
Also, nbcon_emit_next_record() must know which callback it
needs to call.
Add an extra parameter @use_atomic to console_is_usable() and
nbcon_emit_next_record() to specify this.
Since so far only the write_atomic() callback exists,
@use_atomic is set to true for all call sites.
For legacy consoles, @use_atomic is not used.

Since ownership can be lost at any time due to handover or
takeover, a printing context _must_ be prepared to back out
immediately and carefully. However, there are scenarios where
the printing context must reacquire ownership in order to
finalize or revert hardware changes.
One such example is when interrupts are disabled during
printing. No other context will automagically re-enable the
interrupts. For this case, the disabling context _must_
reacquire nbcon ownership so that it can re-enable the
interrupts.
Provide nbcon_reacquire_nobuf() for exactly this purpose. It
allows a printing context to reacquire ownership using the same
priority as its previous ownership.
Note that after a successful reacquire the printing context
will have no output buffer because that has been lost. This
function cannot be used to resume printing.

There are many call sites where console flushing occur.
Depending on the system state and types of consoles, the flush
methods to use are different. A flush call site generally must
consider:
@have_boot_console
@have_nbcon_console
@have_legacy_console
@legacy_allow_panic_sync
is_printk_preferred()
and take into account the current CPU state:
NBCON_PRIO_NORMAL
NBCON_PRIO_EMERGENCY
NBCON_PRIO_PANIC
in order to decide if it should:
flush nbcon directly via atomic_write() callback
flush legacy directly via console_unlock
flush legacy via offload to irq_work
All of these call sites use their own logic to make this
decision, which is complicated and error prone. Especially
later when two more flush methods will be introduced:
flush nbcon via offload to kthread
flush legacy via offload to kthread
Introduce a new internal struct console_flush_type that specifies
which console flushing methods should be used in the context of
the caller.
Introduce a helper function to fill out console_flush_type to
be used for flushing call sites.
Replace the logic of all flushing call sites to use the new
helper.
This change standardizes behavior, leading to both fixes and
optimizations across various call sites. For instance, in
console_cpu_notify(), the new logic ensures that nbcon consoles
are flushed when they aren’t managed by the legacy loop.
Similarly, in console_flush_on_panic(), the system no longer
needs to flush nbcon consoles if none are present.

Unlike console_flush_all(), nbcon_atomic_flush_pending() will
only flush up through the newest record at the time of the
call. This prevents a CPU from printing unbounded when other
CPUs are adding records. If new records are added while
flushing, it is expected that the dedicated printer threads
will print those records. If the printer thread is not
available (which is always the case at this point in the
rework), nbcon_atomic_flush_pending() _will_ flush all records
in the ringbuffer.
Unlike console_flush_all(), nbcon_atomic_flush_pending() will
fully flush one console before flushing the next. This helps to
guarantee that a block of pending records (such as a stack
trace in an emergency situation) can be printed atomically at
once before releasing console ownership.
nbcon_atomic_flush_pending() is safe in any context because it
uses write_atomic() and acquires with unsafe_takeover disabled.

Provide functions nbcon_device_try_acquire() and
nbcon_device_release() which will try to acquire the nbcon
console ownership with NBCON_PRIO_NORMAL and mark it unsafe for
handover/takeover.
These functions are to be used together with the device-specific
locking when performing non-printing activities on the console
device. They will allow synchronization against the
atomic_write() callback which will be serialized, for higher
priority contexts, only by acquiring the console context
ownership.
Pitfalls:
The API requires to be called in a context with migration
disabled because it uses per-CPU variables internally.
The context is set unsafe for a takeover all the time. It
guarantees full serialization against any atomic_write() caller
except for the final flush in panic() which might try an unsafe
takeover.

Console drivers typically have to deal with access to the
hardware via user input/output (such as an interactive login
shell) and output of kernel messages via printk() calls.
They use some classic driver-specific locking mechanism in most
situations. But console->write_atomic() callbacks, used by nbcon
consoles, are synchronized only by acquiring the console
context.
The synchronization via the console context ownership is possible
only when the console driver is registered. It is when a
particular device driver is connected with a particular console
driver.
The two synchronization mechanisms must be synchronized between
each other. It is tricky because the console context ownership
is quite special. It might be taken over by a higher priority
context. Also CPU migration must be disabled. The most tricky
part is to (dis)connect these two mechanisms during the console
(un)registration.
Use the driver-specific locking callbacks: device_lock(),
device_unlock(). They allow taking the device-specific lock
while the device is being (un)registered by the related console
driver.
For example, these callbacks lock/unlock the port lock for
serial port drivers.
Note that the driver-specific locking is only needed during
(un)register if it is an nbcon console with the write_atomic()
callback implemented. If write_atomic() is not implemented, the
driver should never attempt to access the hardware without
first acquiring its driver-specific lock.

The return value of write_atomic() does not provide any useful
information. On the contrary, it makes things more complicated
for the caller to appropriately deal with the information.
Change write_atomic() to not have a return value. If the
message did not get printed due to loss of ownership, the
caller will notice this on its own. If ownership was not lost,
it will be assumed that the driver successfully printed the
message and the sequence number for that console will be
incremented.

If a non-boot console is registering and boot consoles exist,
the consoles are flushed before being unregistered. This allows
the non-boot console to continue where the boot console left
off.
If for whatever reason flushing fails, the lowest seq found from
any of the enabled boot consoles is used. Until now con->seq was
checked. However, if it is an nbcon boot console, the function
nbcon_seq_read() must be used to read seq because con->seq is
not updated for nbcon consoles.
Check if it is an nbcon boot console and if so call
nbcon_seq_read() to read seq.
Also, avoid usage of con->seq as temporary storage of the
starting record. Instead, rename console_init_seq() to
get_init_console_seq() and just return the value. For nbcon
consoles set the sequence via nbcon_seq_force(), for legacy
consoles set con->seq.
The cleaned design should make sure that the value stays and is
set before the console is added to the console list. It also
unifies the sequence number initialization for legacy and nbcon
consoles.

commit 5d99cadf1568 ("crash: fix x86_32 crash memory reserve dead loop
bug") fix this on 32-bit architecture. However, the problem is not
completely solved. If `CRASH_ADDR_LOW_MAX = CRASH_ADDR_HIGH_MAX` on
64-bit architecture, for example, when system memory is equal to
CRASH_ADDR_LOW_MAX on RISCV64, the following infinite loop will also
occur:
-> reserve_crashkernel_generic() and high is true
-> alloc at [CRASH_ADDR_LOW_MAX, CRASH_ADDR_HIGH_MAX] fail
-> alloc at [0, CRASH_ADDR_LOW_MAX] fail and repeatedly
(because CRASH_ADDR_LOW_MAX = CRASH_ADDR_HIGH_MAX).
As Catalin suggested, do not remove the ",high" reservation fallback to
",low" logic which will change arm64's kdump behavior, but fix it by
skipping the above situation similar to commit d2f32f23190b ("crash: fix
x86_32 crash memory reserve dead loop").
After this patch, it print:

- Fix infinite directory iteration for stable offsets in tmpfs.
- When the icache is pruned all reclaimable inodes are marked with
I_FREEING and other processes that try to lookup such inodes will
block.
But some filesystems like ext4 can trigger lookups in their inode
evict callback causing deadlocks. Ext4 does such lookups if the
ea_inode feature is used whereby a separate inode may be used to
store xattrs.
Introduce I_LRU_ISOLATING which pins the inode while its pages are
reclaimed. This avoids inode deletion during inode_lru_isolate()
avoiding the deadlock and evict is made to wait until
I_LRU_ISOLATING is done.
netfs:

filesystems that haven't been converted to large folios yet.
- Fix the CONFIG_NETFS_DEBUG config option. The config option was
renamed a short while ago and that introduced two minor issues.
First, it depended on CONFIG_NETFS whereas it wants to depend on
CONFIG_NETFS_SUPPORT. The former doesn't exist, while the latter
does. Second, the documentation for the config option wasn't fixed
up.
- Revert the removal of the PG_private_2 writeback flag as ceph is
using it and fix how that flag is handled in netfs.
- Fix DIO reads on 9p. A program watching a file on a 9p mount
wouldn't see any changes in the size of the file being exported by
the server if the file was changed directly in the source
filesystem. Fix this by attempting to read the full size specified
when a DIO read is requested.
- Fix a NULL pointer dereference bug due to a data race where a

The regressing commit is new in 6.10. It assumed that anytime event->prog
is set bpf_overflow_handler() should be invoked to execute the attached bpf
program. This assumption is false for tracing events, and as a result the
regressing commit broke bpftrace by invoking the bpf handler with garbage
inputs on overflow.
Prior to the regression the overflow handlers formed a chain (of length 0,
1, or 2) and perf_event_set_bpf_handler() (the !tracing case) added
bpf_overflow_handler() to that chain, while perf_event_attach_bpf_prog()
(the tracing case) did not. Both set event->prog. The chain of overflow
handlers was replaced by a single overflow handler slot and a fixed call to
bpf_overflow_handler() when appropriate. This modifies the condition there
to check event->prog->type == BPF_PROG_TYPE_PERF_EVENT, restoring the
previous behavior and fixing bpftrace.
