* [PATCH] cpuset: top_cpuset tracks hotplug changes to node_online_mapPaul Jackson2006-09-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Change the list of memory nodes allowed to tasks in the top (root) nodeset to dynamically track what cpus are online, using a call to a cpuset hook from the memory hotplug code. Make this top cpus file read-only. On systems that have cpusets configured in their kernel, but that aren't actively using cpusets (for some distros, this covers the majority of systems) all tasks end up in the top cpuset. If that system does support memory hotplug, then these tasks cannot make use of memory nodes that are added after system boot, because the memory nodes are not allowed in the top cpuset. This is a surprising regression over earlier kernels that didn't have cpusets enabled. One key motivation for this change is to remain consistent with the behaviour for the top_cpuset's 'cpus', which is also read-only, and which automatically tracks the cpu_online_map. This change also has the minor benefit that it fixes a long standing, little noticed, minor bug in cpusets. The cpuset performance tweak to short circuit the cpuset_zone_allowed() check on systems with just a single cpuset (see 'number_of_cpusets', in linux/cpuset.h) meant that simply changing the 'mems' of the top_cpuset had no affect, even though the change (the write system call) appeared to succeed. With the following change, that write to the 'mems' file fails -EACCES, and the 'mems' file stubbornly refuses to be changed via user space writes. Thus no one should be mislead into thinking they've changed the top_cpusets's 'mems' when in affect they haven't. In order to keep the behaviour of cpusets consistent between systems actively making use of them and systems not using them, this patch changes the behaviour of the 'mems' file in the top (root) cpuset, making it read only, and making it automatically track the value of node_online_map. Thus tasks in the top cpuset will have automatic use of hot plugged memory nodes allowed by their cpuset.

* [PATCH] oom: don't kill current when another OOM in progressNick Piggin2006-09-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A previous patch to allow an exiting task to OOM kill itself (and thereby avoid a little deadlock) introduced a problem. We don't want the PF_EXITING task, even if it is 'current', to access mem reserves if there is already a TIF_MEMDIE process in the system sucking up reserves. Also make the commenting a little bit clearer, and note that our current scheme of effectively single threading the OOM killer is not itself perfect.

* [PATCH] select_bad_process(): kill a bogus PF_DEAD/TASK_DEAD checkOleg Nesterov2006-09-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The only one usage of TASK_DEAD outside of last schedule path, select_bad_process: for_each_task(p) { if (!p->mm) continue; ... if (p->state == TASK_DEAD) continue; ... TASK_DEAD state is set at the end of do_exit(), this means that p->mm was already set == NULL by exit_mm(), so this task was already rejected by 'if (!p->mm)' above. Note also that the caller holds tasklist_lock, this means that p can't pass exit_notify() and then set TASK_DEAD when p->mm != NULL. Also, remove open-coded is_init().

* [PATCH] introduce TASK_DEAD stateOleg Nesterov2006-09-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I am not sure about this patch, I am asking Ingo to take a decision. task_struct->state == EXIT_DEAD is a very special case, to avoid a confusion it makes sense to introduce a new state, TASK_DEAD, while EXIT_DEAD should live only in ->exit_state as documented in sched.h. Note that this state is not visible to user-space, get_task_state() masks off unsuitable states.

* [PATCH] set EXIT_DEAD state in do_exit(), not in schedule()Oleg Nesterov2006-09-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | schedule() checks PF_DEAD on every context switch and sets ->state = EXIT_DEAD to ensure that the exiting task will be deactivated. Note that this EXIT_DEAD is in fact a "random" value, we can use any bit except normal TASK_XXX values. It is better to set this state in do_exit() along with PF_DEAD flag and remove that check in schedule(). We are safe wrt concurrent try_to_wake_up() (for example ptrace, tkill), it can not change task's ->state: the 'state' argument of try_to_wake_up() can't have EXIT_DEAD bit. And in case when try_to_wake_up() sees a stale value of ->state == TASK_RUNNING it will do nothing.

* [PATCH] lockdep: core, add enable/disable_irq_irqsave/irqrestore() APIsArjan van de Ven2006-09-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Introduce the disable_irq_nosync_lockdep_irqsave() and enable_irq_lockdep_irqrestore() APIs. These are needed for NE2000; basically NE2000 calls disable_irq and enable_irq as locking against the IRQ handler, but both in cases where interrupts are on and off. This means that lockdep needs to track the old state of the virtual irq flags on disable_irq, and restore these at enable_irq time.

This loses the information of which lock actually got acquired or released, and assumes a different type for the parameter of __acquires and __releases than the rest of the kernel. While the current implementations of __acquires and __releases throw away their argument, this will not always remain the case. Change this to use the lock parameter instead, to preserve this information and increase consistency in usage of __acquires and __releases.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I am not sure this patch is correct: I can't understand what the current code does, and I don't know what it was supposed to do. The comment says: * can't change policy, except between SCHED_NORMAL * and SCHED_BATCH: The code: if (((policy != SCHED_NORMAL && p->policy != SCHED_BATCH) && (policy != SCHED_BATCH && p->policy != SCHED_NORMAL)) && But this is equivalent to: if ( (is_rt_policy(policy) && has_rt_policy(p)) && which means something different. We can't _decrease_ the current ->rt_priority with such a check (if rlim[RLIMIT_RTPRIO] == 0). Probably, it was supposed to be: if ( !(policy == SCHED_NORMAL && p->policy == SCHED_BATCH) && !(policy == SCHED_BATCH && p->policy == SCHED_NORMAL) this matches the comment, but strange: it doesn't allow to _drop_ the realtime priority when rlim[RLIMIT_RTPRIO] == 0.

* [PATCH] simplify update_times (avoid jiffies/jiffies_64 aliasing problem)Atsushi Nemoto2006-09-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Pass ticks to do_timer() and update_times(), and adjust x86_64 and s390 timer interrupt handler with this change. Currently update_times() calculates ticks by "jiffies - wall_jiffies", but callers of do_timer() should know how many ticks to update. Passing ticks get rid of this redundant calculation. Also there are another redundancy pointed out by Martin Schwidefsky. This cleanup make a barrier added by 5aee405c662ca644980c184774277fc6d0769a84 needless. So this patch removes it. As a bonus, this cleanup make wall_jiffies can be removed easily, since now wall_jiffies is always synced with jiffies. (This patch does not really remove wall_jiffies. It would be another cleanup patch) Signed-off-by: Atsushi Nemoto <anemo@mba.ocn.ne.jp> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "Eric W.

* [PATCH] I/O Error attempting to read last partial block of a file in an ↵Joel & Rebecca VanderZee2006-09-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ISO9660 file system There was an I/O error that prevented reading the last partial block of large files in an ISO9660 filesystem. The error was generated when a file comprised more than one section and had a size that was not an exact multiple of the filesystem block size. This patch removes the check (and failure) for reading into the last partial block (and possibly beyond) for multiple-section files. It worked in my testing to prevent reading beyond the end of the section; my first patch just incremented the sect_size block count for a partial block and continued doing the check. But there is a commment in the source code about reading beyond the end of the file to fill a page cache. Failing to access beyond the section would prevent reading beyond the end of the file.

* [PATCH] posix-timers: Fix the flags handling in posix_cpu_nsleep()Toyo Abe2006-09-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a posix_cpu_nsleep() sleep is interrupted by a signal more than twice, it incorrectly reports the sleep time remaining to the user. Because posix_cpu_nsleep() doesn't report back to the user when it's called from restart function due to the wrong flags handling. This patch, which applies after previous one, moves the nanosleep() function from posix_cpu_nsleep() to do_cpu_nanosleep() and cleans up the flags handling appropriately.
