* move stk17ta8's probe function to .devinit.textUwe Kleine-König2009-11-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A pointer to stk17ta8_rtc_probe is passed to the core via platform_driver_register and so the function must not disappear when the .init sections are discarded. Otherwise (if also having HOTPLUG=y) unbinding and binding a device to the driver via sysfs will result in an oops as does a device being registered late. An alternative to this patch is using platform_driver_probe instead of platform_driver_register plus removing the pointer to the probe function from the struct platform_driver.

* ataflop: remove buggy/commented-out IRQ disable from do_fd_request()Jiri Kosina2009-11-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is a nice gem in drivers/block/ataflop.c::do_fd_request() void do_fd_request(struct request_queue * q) { unsigned long flags; DPRINT(("do_fd_request for pid %d\n",current->pid)); while( fdc_busy ) sleep_on( &fdc_wait ); fdc_busy = 1; stdma_lock(floppy_irq, NULL); atari_disable_irq( IRQ_MFP_FDC ); local_save_flags(flags); /* The request function is called with ints local_irq_disable(); * disabled... so must save the IPL for later */ redo_fd_request(); local_irq_restore(flags); atari_enable_irq( IRQ_MFP_FDC ); } If you look at the code long enough, you will notioce that the local_irq_disable() call is actually commented out. This has been introduced back in 2002 in [1], but as you can see, the same bug has been there even before, with the sti() call being commented out in the very same way :) I am not familiar with the code myself at all, but I guess that the whole stuff can just be removed. Why do we need save_flags/restore_flags at all, without actually disabling the local IRQs afterwards? The redo_fd_request() doesn't seem to do anything that would mess with flags inconsistently. [1] http://lkml.org/lkml/2002/12/27/58 Jens: That does look odd. The comment is correct that the function is entered with interrupts disabled (and the queue lock held). So I'd say your patch looks fine, the whole save/restore business looks meaningless.

For the most part, this doesn't matter, because the top bit of base2 is usually 0. If, however, that bit is 1, then the entire value will be 0xffff... which is probably not what the caller intended. This patch casts the entire thing to unsigned before returning, which generates almost the same assembly as the current code but replaces the final "cltq" (sign extend) with a "mov %eax %eax" (zero-extend).

AFAICT the others need to be zeroed too: only nohz.ilb_grp_nohz_mask is initialized before use.

It also switches LAST_BUDDY to exclusively do what it does best, namely mitigate the effects of aggressive wakeup preemption, which improves vmark throughput markedly, and restores mysql+oltp scalability. Since buddies are about scalability, enable them beginning at the point where we begin expanding sched_latency, namely sched_nr_latency. Previously, buddies were cleared aggressively, which seriously reduced their effectiveness. Not clearing aggressively however, produces a small drop in mysql+oltp throughput immediately after peak, indicating that LAST_BUDDY is actually doing some harm. This is right at the point where X on the desktop in competition with another load wants low latency service. Ergo, do not enable until we need to scale. To mitigate latency induced by buddies, or by a task just missing wakeup preemption, check latency at tick time. Last hunk prevents buddies from stymieing BALANCE_NEWIDLE via CACHE_HOT_BUDDY.
