| * msi: Kill the msi_desc array.Eric W. Biederman2007-02-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We need to be able to get from an irq number to a struct msi_desc. The msi_desc array in msi.c had several short comings the big one was that it could not be used outside of msi.c. Using irq_data in struct irq_desc almost worked except on some architectures irq_data needs to be used for something else. So this patch adds a msi_desc pointer to irq_desc, adds the appropriate wrappers and changes all of the msi code to use them. The dynamic_irq_init/cleanup code was tweaked to ensure the new field is left in a well defined state. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

* [PATCH] namespaces: fix task exit disasterSerge E. Hallyn2007-01-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is based on a patch by Eric W. Biederman, who pointed out that pid namespaces are still fake, and we only have one ever active. So for the time being, we can modify any code which could access tsk->nsproxy->pid_ns during task exit to just use &init_pid_ns instead, and move the exit_task_namespaces call in do_exit() back above exit_notify(), so that an exiting nfs server has a valid tsk->sighand to work with. Long term, pulling pid_ns out of nsproxy might be the cleanest solution. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

* [PATCH] namespaces: fix exit race by splitting exitSerge E. Hallyn2007-01-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix exit race by splitting the nsproxy putting into two pieces. First piece reduces the nsproxy refcount. If we dropped the last reference, then it puts the mnt_ns, and returns the nsproxy as a hint to the caller. Else it returns NULL. The second piece of exiting task namespaces sets tsk->nsproxy to NULL, and drops the references to other namespaces and frees the nsproxy only if an nsproxy was passed in. A little awkward and should probably be reworked, but hopefully it fixes the NFS oops. Signed-off-by: Serge E.

* [PATCH] notifiers: fix blocking_notifier_call_chain() scalabilityIngo Molnar2007-01-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | while lock-profiling the -rt kernel i noticed weird contention during mmap-intense workloads, and the tracer showed the following gem, in one of our MM hotpaths: threaded-2771 1.... 65us : sys_munmap (sysenter_do_call) threaded-2771 1.... 66us : profile_munmap (sys_munmap) threaded-2771 1.... 66us : blocking_notifier_call_chain (profile_munmap) threaded-2771 1.... 66us : rt_down_read (blocking_notifier_call_chain) ouch! a global rw-semaphore taken in one of the most performance- sensitive codepaths of the kernel. And i dont even have oprofile enabled! All distro kernels have CONFIG_PROFILING enabled, so this scalability problem affects the majority of Linux users. The fix is to enhance blocking_notifier_call_chain() to only take the lock if there appears to be work on the call-chain. With this patch applied i get nicely saturated system, and much higher munmap performance, on SMP systems. And as a bonus this also fixes a similar scalability bottleneck in the thread-exit codepath: profile_task_exit() ...

Since __cpuinit would map to __init with this kind of a configuration, we get a .text refering .init.data warning. This patch solves the problem by converting all of __cpu_up, _cpu_up and cpu_up from __devinit to __cpuinit. The approach is justified since the callers of cpu_up are either dependent on CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU or are of __init type. Thus when CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=y, all these cpu up functions would land up in .text section, and when CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=n, all these functions would land up in .init section.

* [PATCH] sched: tasks cannot run on cpus onlined after bootNathan Lynch2007-01-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 5c1e176781f43bc902a51e5832f789756bff911b ("sched: force /sbin/init off isolated cpus") sets init's cpus_allowed to a subset of cpu_online_map at boot time, which means that tasks won't be scheduled on cpus that are added to the system later. Make init's cpus_allowed a subset of cpu_possible_map instead. This should still preserve the behavior that Nick's change intended.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Remove the __resched_legal() check: it is conceptually broken. The biggest problem it had is that it can mask buggy cond_resched() calls. A cond_resched() call is only legal if we are not in an atomic context, with two narrow exceptions: - if the system is booting - a reacquire_kernel_lock() down() done while PREEMPT_ACTIVE is set But __resched_legal() hid this and just silently returned whenever these primitives were called from invalid contexts. (Same goes for cond_resched_locked() and cond_resched_softirq()). Furthermore, the __legal_resched(0) call was buggy in that it caused unnecessarily long softirq latencies via cond_resched_softirq(). (which is only called from softirq-off sections, hence the code did nothing.) The fix is to resurrect the efficiency of the might_sleep checks and to only allow the narrow exceptions.

* | | | [PATCH] fdtable: Provide free_fdtable() wrapperVadim Lobanov2006-12-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Christoph Hellwig has expressed concerns that the recent fdtable changes expose the details of the RCU methodology used to release no-longer-used fdtable structures to the rest of the kernel. The trivial patch below addresses these concerns by introducing the appropriate free_fdtable() calls, which simply wrap the release RCU usage. Since free_fdtable() is a one-liner, it makes sense to promote it to an inline helper.

Unfortunately this broke things for when preemption is disabled. preempt_count() will always return zero, thus failing the check against any value of expected_preempt_count not equal to zero. cond_resched_lock() for example, passes an expected_preempt_count value of 1. So fix the fix for the cond_resched() fix by skipping the check of preempt_count() against expected_preempt_count when preemption is disabled. Credit should go to Sunil Mushran for spotting the bug during testing.

It has always been the case that the work done by scheduler_tick() was more than was required to handle the problem in hand but no harm was done except for the waste of a few CPU cycles. However, the splitting of scheduler_tick() into two procedures in 2.6.20-rc1 enables the wasted cycles to be saved as the new procedure task_running_tick() does all the work that is required to rectify the problem being handled. Solution: Replace the call to scheduler_tick() in sched_fork() with a call to task_running_tick().

So we need to serialize the assignment with the locks on those architectures (notably older ARM chips, PA-RISC and sparc32). So rather than using an "unsigned long", let's use "atomic_long_t", which already has a safe assignment operation (atomic_long_set()) on such architectures. This requires that the atomic operations use the same atomicity locks as the bit operations do, but that is largely the case anyway. Sparc32 will probably need fixing. Architectures (including modern ARM with LL/SC) that implement sane atomic operations for SMP won't see any of this matter.
