* [PATCH] files: fix preemption issuesDipankar Sarma2005-09-17
| | | | | | | | | | With the new fdtable locking rules, you have to protect fdtable with either ->file_lock or rcu_read_lock/unlock(). There are some places where we aren't doing either. This patch fixes those places. Signed-off-by: Dipankar Sarma <dipankar@in.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
* [PATCH] PR_GET_DUMPABLE returns incorrect infoMichael Kerrisk2005-09-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 2.6.13 incorporated Alan Cox's patch for /proc/sys/fs/suid_dumpable (one version of this patch can be found here http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=109647550421014&w=2 ). This patch also made corresponding changes in kernel/sys.c to change the prctl() PR_SET_DUMPABLE operation so that the permitted range of 'arg2' was modified from 0..1 to 0..2. However, a corresponding change was not made for PR_GET_DUMPABLE: if the dumpable flag is non-zero, then PR_GET_DUMPABLE always returns 1, so that the caller can't determine the true setting of this flag.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The following patch against audit.81 prevents duplicate syscall rules in a given filter list by walking the list on each rule add.

However, if auditd really is AWOL then this could potentially bring the entire system to a halt, depending on the audit rules in effect. Firstly, make sure the wait time is honoured correctly -- it's the maximum time the process should wait, rather than the time to wait _each_ time round the loop. We were getting re-woken _each_ time a packet was dequeued, and the timeout was being restarted each time. Secondly, reset the wait time after audit_panic() is called. In general this will be reset to zero, to allow progress to be made. If the system is configured to _actually_ panic on audit_panic() then that will already have happened; otherwise we know that audit records are being lost anyway. These two tunables can't be exposed via AUDIT_GET and AUDIT_SET because those aren't particularly well-designed. It probably should have been done by sysctls or sysfs anyway -- one for a later patch.

Performance of multiprocessor HT systems with low numbers of tasks (generally < number of virtual CPUs) can be significantly worse than the exact same workloads when running in non-HT mode. The reason is largely due to poor scheduling behaviour. This patch improves the situation, making the performance gap far less significant on one problematic test case (tbench).

Holding the runqueue lock will only help to stabilise ->nr_running, however this doesn't do much to help because tasks being woken will simply get held up on the runqueue lock, so ->nr_running would not provide a really accurate picture of runqueue load in that case anyway. What's more, ->nr_running (and possibly the cpu_load averages) of remote runqueues won't be stable anyway, so load balancing is always an inexact operation.
