This won't catch nested get/put mismatches though. Build and boot tested, with minimal desktop activity and a run of the open_posix_testsuite in LTP for testing. No warnings logged.

It would also probably cause failures if heavily stressed. The solution, ironically enough, is to revert to rcupreempt's code for initializing the dynticks state. And the patch even results in smaller code -- so what was I thinking??? This is 2.6.29 material, given that people really do suspend and resume Linux these days. ;-) Reported-by: Dhaval Giani <dhaval@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Reported-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com> Tested-by: Dhaval Giani <dhaval@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Tested-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

The problem was that the special-case code for small machines never updated the ->signaled field to indicate that grace-period initialization had completed, which prevented force_quiescent_state() from ever expediting grace periods. This problem resulted in grace periods extending for more than 20 seconds. Not subtle. I introduced this bug during my inspection process when I fixed a race between grace-period initialization and force_quiescent_state() execution. The following patch properly updates the ->signaled field for the "small"-system case (no more than 32 CPUs for 32-bit kernels and no more than 64 CPUs for 64-bit kernels).

Fix that by changing it to return zero in this case, so the caller will proceed to allocate the memory from the generic memory allocator.

This change does have following changes in behavior: - When sending pdeath_signal on re-parent to a sub-thread, ->si_pid cannot be used to identify the thread that did the re-parent since it will now show the tgid instead of thread id. - A multi-threaded application that expects to find the specific thread that encountered a SIGPIPE using the ->si_pid will now break.

This means, you can probe driver initialization and terminating. Currently, kprobes can't probe __init function because these functions are freed after module initialization. And it also can't probe module __exit functions because kprobe increments reference count of target module and user can't unload it. this means __exit functions never be called unless removing probes from the module. To solve both cases, this series of patches introduces GONE flag and sets it when the target code is freed(for this purpose, kprobes hooks MODULE_STATE_* events). This also removes refcount incrementing for allowing user to unload target module. Users can check which probes are GONE by debugfs interface. For taking timing of freeing module's .init text, these also include a patch which adds module's notifier of MODULE_STATE_LIVE event. This patch: Add within_module_core() and within_module_init() for checking whether an address is in the module .init.text section or .text section, and replace within() local inline functions in kernel/module.c with them. kprobes uses these functions to check where the kprobe is inserted.

(on the other hand, if the kernel-module calls register_*probe, kprobe increments refcount of the probed module.) Currently, we have no register_*probe() calling from kernel-core(except smoke-test, but the smoke-test doesn't probe module), so there is no real bugs. But the logic is wrong(or not fair) and it can causes a problem when someone might want to probe module from kernel. After this patch is applied, even if someone put register_*probe() call in the kernel-core code, it increments the reference counter of the probed module, and it prevents user to remove the module until stopping probing it.

The same thing will also happen for the time() system call on 32-bit platforms some time in 2106 or so. On some platforms, such as x86, this is unavoidable because of the system call ABI, but other platforms such as powerpc have a separate error indication from the return value, so system calls can in fact return small negative values without indicating an error. On those platforms, force_successful_syscall_return() provides a way to indicate that the system call return value should not be treated as an error even if it is in the range which would normally be taken as a negative error number. This adds a force_successful_syscall_return() call to the time() and times() system calls plus their 32-bit compat versions, so that they don't erroneously indicate an error on those platforms whose system call ABI has a separate error indication. This will not affect anything on other platforms. Joakim Tjernlund added the fix for time() and the compat versions of time() and times(), after I did the fix for times().

An exiting thread can be preempted right before mm->hiwater_xxx = new_val, and another thread can use A_LOT of memory and exit in between. When the first thread resumes it can be the last thread in the thread group, in that case we report the wrong hiwater_xxx values which do not take A_LOT into account. Introduce get_mm_hiwater_rss() and get_mm_hiwater_vm() helpers and change xacct_add_tsk() to use them. The first helper will also be used by rusage->ru_maxrss accounting. Kill do_exit()->update_hiwater_xxx() calls. Unless we are going to decrease rss/vm there is no point to update mm->hiwater_xxx, and nobody can look at this mm_struct when exit_mmap() actually unmaps the memory.

* | | | | mm: add dirty_background_bytes and dirty_bytes sysctlsDavid Rientjes2009-01-06

With growing memory capacities of individual machines, it's no longer sufficient to specify dirty thresholds as a percentage of the amount of dirtyable memory over the entire system. dirty_background_bytes and dirty_bytes specify quantities of memory, in bytes, that represent the dirty limits for the entire system. If either of these values is set, its value represents the amount of dirty memory that is needed to commence either background or direct writeback. When a `bytes' or `ratio' file is written, its counterpart becomes a function of the written value. For example, if dirty_bytes is written to be 8096, 8K of memory is required to commence direct writeback. dirty_ratio is then functionally equivalent to 8K / the amount of dirtyable memory: dirtyable_memory = free pages + mapped pages + file cache dirty_background_bytes = dirty_background_ratio * dirtyable_memory -or- dirty_background_ratio = dirty_background_bytes / dirtyable_memory AND dirty_bytes = dirty_ratio * dirtyable_memory -or- dirty_ratio = dirty_bytes / dirtyable_memory Only one of dirty_background_bytes and dirty_background_ratio may be specified at a time, and only one of dirty_bytes and dirty_ratio may be specified. When one sysctl is written, the other appears as 0 when read. The `bytes' files operate on a page size granularity since dirty limits are compared with ZVC values, which are in page units. Prior to this change, the minimum dirty_ratio was 5 as implemented by get_dirty_limits() although /proc/sys/vm/dirty_ratio would show any user written value between 0 and 100. This restriction is maintained, but dirty_bytes has a lower limit of only one page. Also prior to this change, the dirty_background_ratio could not equal or exceed dirty_ratio. This restriction is maintained in addition to restricting dirty_background_bytes. If either background threshold equals or exceeds that of the dirty threshold, it is implicitly set to half the dirty threshold.

With this interface subsystems that need a non-failing stop_machine environment can create the stop_machine machine threads before actually calling stop_machine. When the threads aren't needed anymore they can be killed with stop_machine_destroy again. When stop_machine gets called and the threads aren't present they will be created and destroyed automatically. This restores the old behaviour of stop_machine. This patch also converts cpu hotplug to the new interface since it is special: cpu_down calls __stop_machine instead of stop_machine. However the kstop threads will only be created when stop_machine gets called. Changing the code so that the threads would be created automatically on __stop_machine is currently not possible: when __stop_machine gets called we hold cpu_add_remove_lock, which is the same lock that create_rt_workqueue would take. So the workqueue needs to be created before the cpu hotplug code locks cpu_add_remove_lock.
