2006-07-14[PATCH] remove set_wmb - arch removalSteven Rostedt23-31/+1
set_wmb should not be used in the kernel because it just confuses the code more and has no benefit. Since it is not currently used in the kernel this patch removes it so that new code does not include it. All archs define set_wmb(var, value) to do { var = value; wmb(); } while(0) except ia64 and sparc which use a mb() instead. But this is still moot since it is not used anyway. Hasn't been tested on any archs but x86 and x86_64 (and only compiled tested) Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2006-07-14[PATCH] Remove down_write() from taskstats code invoked on the exit() pathShailabh Nagar1-5/+19
In send_cpu_listeners(), which is called on the exit path, a down_write() was protecting operations like skb_clone() and genlmsg_unicast() that do GFP_KERNEL allocations. If the oom-killer decides to kill tasks to satisfy the allocations,the exit of those tasks could block on the same semphore. The down_write() was only needed to allow removal of invalid listeners from the listener list. The patch converts the down_write to a down_read and defers the removal to a separate critical region. This ensures that even if the oom-killer is called, no other task's exit is blocked as it can still acquire another down_read. Thanks to Andrew Morton & Herbert Xu for pointing out the oom related pitfalls, and to Chandra Seetharaman for suggesting this fix instead of using something more complex like RCU.

2006-07-14[PATCH] per-task delay accounting taskstats interface: control exit data ↵Shailabh Nagar4-38/+198
through cpumasks On systems with a large number of cpus, with even a modest rate of tasks exiting per cpu, the volume of taskstats data sent on thread exit can overflow a userspace listener's buffers. One approach to avoiding overflow is to allow listeners to get data for a limited and specific set of cpus. By scaling the number of listeners and/or the cpus they monitor, userspace can handle the statistical data overload more gracefully. In this patch, each listener registers to listen to a specific set of cpus by specifying a cpumask. The interest is recorded per-cpu. When a task exits on a cpu, its taskstats data is unicast to each listener interested in that cpu. Thanks to Andrew Morton for pointing out the various scalability and general concerns of previous attempts and for suggesting this design.

2006-07-14[PATCH] per-task delay accounting: avoid send without listenersShailabh Nagar1-1/+12
Don't send taskstats (per-pid or per-tgid) on thread exit when no one is listening for such data. Currently the taskstats interface allocates a structure, fills it in and calls netlink to send out per-pid and per-tgid stats regardless of whether a userspace listener for the data exists (netlink layer would check for that and avoid the multicast). As a result of this patch, the check for the no-listener case is performed early, avoiding the redundant allocation and filling up of the taskstats structures.

2006-07-14[PATCH] delay accounting taskstats interface send tgid onceShailabh Nagar8-81/+162
Send per-tgid data only once during exit of a thread group instead of once with each member thread exit. Currently, when a thread exits, besides its per-tid data, the per-tgid data of its thread group is also sent out, if its thread group is non-empty. The per-tgid data sent consists of the sum of per-tid stats for all *remaining* threads of the thread group. This patch modifies this sending in two ways: - the per-tgid data is sent only when the last thread of a thread group exits. This cuts down heavily on the overhead of sending/receiving per-tgid data, especially when other exploiters of the taskstats interface aren't interested in per-tgid stats - the semantics of the per-tgid data sent are changed. Instead of being the sum of per-tid data for remaining threads, the value now sent is the true total accumalated statistics for all threads that are/were part of the thread group. The patch also addresses a minor issue where failure of one accounting subsystem to fill in the taskstats structure was causing the send of taskstats to not be sent at all. The patch has been tested for stability and run cerberus for over 4 hours on an SMP.

Create a "taskstats" interface based on generic netlink (NETLINK_GENERIC family), for getting statistics of tasks and thread groups during their lifetime and when they exit. The interface is intended for use by multiple accounting packages though it is being created in the context of delay accounting. This patch creates the interface without populating the fields of the data that is sent to the user in response to a command or upon the exit of a task. Each accounting package interested in using taskstats has to provide an additional patch to add its stats to the common structure.

Unlike earlier iterations of the delay accounting patches, now delays are only collected for the actual I/O waits rather than try and cover the delays seen in I/O submission paths. Account separately for block I/O delays incurred as a result of swapin page faults whose frequency can be affected by the task/process' rss limit.

2006-07-14[PATCH] Fix security check for joint context= and fscontext= mount optionsEric Paris1-5/+9
After some discussion on the actual meaning of the filesystem class security check in try context mount it was determined that the checks for the context= mount options were not correct if fscontext mount option had already been used. When labeling the superblock we should be checking relabel_from and relabel_to. But if the superblock has already been labeled (with fscontext) then context= is actually labeling the inodes, and so we should be checking relabel_from and associate. This patch fixes which checks are called depending on the mount options.

2006-07-14[PATCH] Convert idr's internal locking to _irqsave variantRoland Dreier1-6/+10
Currently, the code in lib/idr.c uses a bare spin_lock(&idp->lock) to do internal locking. This is a nasty trap for code that might call idr functions from different contexts; for example, it seems perfectly reasonable to call idr_get_new() from process context and idr_remove() from interrupt context -- but with the current locking this would lead to a potential deadlock. The simplest fix for this is to just convert the idr locking to use spin_lock_irqsave(). In particular, this fixes a very complicated locking issue detected by lockdep, involving the ib_ipoib driver's priv->lock and dev->_xmit_lock, which get involved with the ib_sa module's query_idr.lock.

Ive never tested other pins, and theyre all multiplexed with other functions, some of which may be in use on my soekris 4801, so I dont know what testing should yield. - +EXPORT_SYMBOL(scx200_access); This exposes the driver's vtable, which another driver can use along with #include <linux/nsc_gpio.h>, to manipulate a gpio-pin.

2006-07-14[PATCH] unexport open_softirqAdrian Bunk1-2/+0
Christoph Hellwig: open_softirq just enables a softirq. The softirq array is statically allocated so to add a new one you would have to patch the kernel. So there's no point to keep this export at all as any user would have to patch the enum in include/linux/interrupt.h anyway.

2006-07-14[PATCH] Add try_to_freeze() to rt-test kthreadsLuca Tettamanti1-0/+1
When CONFIG_RT_MUTEX_TESTER is enabled kernel refuses to suspend the machine because it's unable to freeze the rt-test-* threads. Add try_to_freeze() after schedule() so that the threads will be freezed correctly; I've tested the patch and it lets the notebook suspends and resumes nicely.

2006-07-14[PATCH] lockdep: annotate the BLKPG_DEL_PARTITION ioctlArjan van de Ven1-2/+2
The delete partition IOCTL takes the bd_mutex for both the disk and the partition; these have an obvious hierarchical relationship and this patch annotates this relationship for lockdep.

2006-07-14[PATCH] ramdisk blocksize Kconfig entryNathan Scott2-1/+11
Make the ramdisk blocksize configurable at kernel compilation time rather than only at boot or module load time, like a couple of the other ramdisk options. I found this handy awhile back but thought little of it, until recently asked by a few of the testing folks here to be able to do the same thing for their automated test setups. The Kconfig comment is largely lifted from comments in rd.c, and hopefully this will increase the chances of making folks aware that the default value often isn't a great choice here (for increasing values of PAGE_SIZE, even moreso).
