* ipc: HARD_MSGMAX should be higher not lower on 64bitAmerigo Wang2009-12-161-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | We have HARD_MSGMAX lower on 64bit than on 32bit, since usually 64bit machines have more memory than 32bit machines. Making it higher on 64bit seems reasonable, and keep the original number on 32bit. Acked-by: Serge E.

* ipc/sem.c: optimize single sops when semval is zeroManfred Spraul2009-12-161-0/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If multiple simple decrements on the same semaphore are pending, then the current code scans all decrement operations, even if the semaphore value is already 0. The patch optimizes that: if the semaphore value is 0, then there is no need to scan the q->alter entries. Note that this is a common case: It happens if 100 decrements by one are pending and now an increment by one increases the semaphore value from 0 to 1. Without this patch, all 100 entries are scanned. With the patch, only one entry is scanned, then woken up. Then the new rule triggers and the scanning is aborted, without looking at the remaining 99 tasks. With this patch, single sop increment/decrement by 1 are now O(1).

* ipc/sem.c: optimize single semop operationsManfred Spraul2009-12-161-11/+40
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | sysv sem has the concept of semaphore arrays that consist out of multiple semaphores. Atomic operations that affect multiple semaphores are supported. The patch optimizes single semaphore operation calls that affect only one semaphore: It's not necessary to scan all pending operations, it is sufficient to scan the per-semaphore list. The idea is from Nick Piggin version of an ipc sem improvement, the implementation is different: The code tries to keep as much common code as possible. As the result, the patch is simpler, but optimizes fewer cases.

* ipc/sem.c: add a per-semaphore pending listManfred Spraul2009-12-162-6/+36
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Based on Nick's findings: sysv sem has the concept of semaphore arrays that consist out of multiple semaphores. Atomic operations that affect multiple semaphores are supported. The patch is the first step for optimizing simple, single semaphore operations: In addition to the global list of all pending operations, a 2nd, per-semaphore list with the simple operations is added. Note: this patch does not make sense by itself, the new list is used nowhere.

* ipc/sem.c: optimize if semops failManfred Spraul2009-12-161-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Reduce the amount of scanning of the list of pending semaphore operations: If try_atomic_semop failed, then no changes were applied. Thus no need to restart. Additionally, this patch correct an incorrect comment: It's possible to wait for arbitrary semaphore values (do a dec by <x>, wait-for-zero, inc by <x> in one atomic operation) Both changes are from Nick Piggin, the patch is the result of a different split of the individual changes.

* ipc/sem.c: sem preempt improveNick Piggin2009-12-161-15/+23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The strange sysv semaphore wakeup scheme has a kind of busy-wait lock involved, which could deadlock if preemption is enabled during the "lock". It is an implementation detail (due to a spinlock being held) that this is actually the case. However if "spinlocks" are made preemptible, or if the sem lock is changed to a sleeping lock for example, then the wakeup would become buggy. So this might be a bugfix for -rt kernels. Imagine waker being preempted by wakee and never clearing IN_WAKEUP -- if wakee has higher RT priority then there is a priority inversion deadlock. Even if there is not a priority inversion to cause a deadlock, then there is still time wasted spinning.

* ipc/sem.c: sem optimise undo list searchNick Piggin2009-12-161-6/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Around a month ago, there was some discussion about an improvement of the sysv sem algorithm: Most (at least: some important) users only use simple semaphore operations, therefore it's worthwile to optimize this use case. This patch: Move last looked up sem_undo struct to the head of the task's undo list. Attempt to move common entries to the front of the list so search time is reduced. This reduces lookup_undo on oprofile of problematic SAP workload by 30% (see patch 4 for a description of SAP workload).

* ipc ns: fix memory leak (idr)Serge E. Hallyn2009-12-163-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We have apparently had a memory leak since 7ca7e564e049d8b350ec9d958ff25eaa24226352 "ipc: store ipcs into IDRs" in 2007. The idr of which 3 exist for each ipc namespace is never freed. This patch simply frees them when the ipcns is freed. I don't believe any idr_remove() are done from rcu (and could therefore be delayed until after this idr_destroy()), so the patch should be safe.

* signals: send_signal: use si_fromuser() to detect from_ancestor_nsOleg Nesterov2009-12-161-3/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Change send_signal() to use si_fromuser(). From now SEND_SIG_NOINFO triggers the "from_ancestor_ns" check. This fixes reparent_thread()->group_send_sig_info(pdeath_signal) behaviour, before this patch send_signal() does not detect the cross-namespace case when the child of the dying parent belongs to the sub-namespace. This patch can affect the behaviour of send_sig(), kill_pgrp() and kill_pid() when the caller sends the signal to the sub-namespace with "priv == 0" but surprisingly all callers seem to use them correctly, including disassociate_ctty(on_exit). Except: drivers/staging/comedi/drivers/addi-data/*.c incorrectly use send_sig(priv => 0). But his is minor and should be fixed anyway.

This is already true if we look at the code which uses SEND_SIG_NOINFO, except __send_signal() has another opinion - see the next patch. The naming of these special SEND_SIG_XXX siginfo's is really bad imho.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Suggested by Roland. Unlike powepc, x86 always calls tracehook_report_syscall_exit(step) with step = 0, and sends the trap by hand. This results in unnecessary SIGTRAP when PTRACE_SINGLESTEP follows the syscall-exit stop.

* memcg: remove memcg_tasklistDaisuke Nishimura2009-12-161-5/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | memcg_tasklist was introduced at commit 7f4d454d(memcg: avoid deadlock caused by race between oom and cpuset_attach) instead of cgroup_mutex to fix a deadlock problem. The cgroup_mutex, which was removed by the commit, in mem_cgroup_out_of_memory() was originally introduced at commit c7ba5c9e (Memory controller: OOM handling). IIUC, the intention of this cgroup_mutex was to prevent task move during select_bad_process() so that situations like below can be avoided. Assume cgroup "foo" has exceeded its limit and is about to trigger oom. 1. Process A, which has been in cgroup "baa" and uses large memory, is just moved to cgroup "foo". Process A can be the candidates for being killed. 2. Process B, which has been in cgroup "foo" and uses large memory, is just moved from cgroup "foo". Process B can be excluded from the candidates for being killed. But these race window exists anyway even if we hold a lock, because __mem_cgroup_try_charge() decides wether it should trigger oom or not outside of the lock. So the original cgroup_mutex in mem_cgroup_out_of_memory and thus current memcg_tasklist has no use. And IMHO, those races are not so critical for users. This patch removes it and make codes simpler.

* memcg: coalesce charging via percpu storageKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki2009-12-161-6/+156
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a patch for coalescing access to res_counter at charging by percpu caching. At charge, memcg charges 64pages and remember it in percpu cache. Because it's cache, drain/flush if necessary. This version uses public percpu area. 2 benefits for using public percpu area. 1. Sum of stocked charge in the system is limited to # of cpus not to the number of memcg. This shows better synchonization. 2. drain code for flush/cpuhotplug is very easy (and quick) The most important point of this patch is that we never touch res_counter in fast path. The res_counter is system-wide shared counter which is modified very frequently. We shouldn't touch it as far as we can for avoiding false sharing.

* memcg: coalesce uncharge during unmap/truncateKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki2009-12-166-6/+123
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In massive parallel enviroment, res_counter can be a performance bottleneck. One strong techinque to reduce lock contention is reducing calls by coalescing some amount of calls into one. Considering charge/uncharge chatacteristic, - charge is done one by one via demand-paging. - uncharge is done by - in chunk at munmap, truncate, exit, execve... - one by one via vmscan/paging. It seems we have a chance to coalesce uncharges for improving scalability at unmap/truncation. This patch is a for coalescing uncharge. For avoiding scattering memcg's structure to functions under /mm, this patch adds memcg batch uncharge information to the task. A reason for per-task batching is for making use of caller's context information. We do batched uncharge (deleyed uncharge) when truncation/unmap occurs but do direct uncharge when uncharge is called by memory reclaim (vmscan.c). The degree of coalescing depends on callers - at invalidate/trucate... pagevec size - at unmap ....ZAP_BLOCK_SIZE (memory itself will be freed in this degree.) Then, we'll not coalescing too much. On x86-64 8cpu server, I tested overheads of memcg at page fault by running a program which does map/fault/unmap in a loop. Running a task per a cpu by taskset and see sum of the number of page faults in 60secs.

(root cgroup doesn't affected by this patch) Another patch for "charge" will follow this and above will be improved more.

* ext2: report metadata errors during fsyncJan Kara2009-12-163-3/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When an IO error happens while writing metadata buffers, we should better report it and call ext2_error since the filesystem is probably no longer consistent. Sometimes such IO errors happen while flushing thread does background writeback, the buffer gets later evicted from memory, and thus the only trace of the error remains as AS_EIO bit set in blockdevice's mapping. So we check this bit in ext2_fsync and report the error although we cannot be really sure which buffer we failed to write.

* intelfb: fix setting of active pipe with LVDS displaysKrzysztof Helt2009-12-163-17/+34
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The intelfb driver sets color map depending on currently active pipe. However, if an LVDS display is attached (like in laptop) the active pipe variable is never set. The default value is PIPE_A and can be wrong. Set up the pipe variable during driver initialization after hardware state was read. Also, the detection of the active display (and hence the pipe) is wrong. The pipes are assigned to so called planes. Both pipes are always enabled on my laptop but only one plane is enabled (the plane A for the CRT or the plane B for the LVDS). Change active pipe detection code to take into account a status of the plane assigned to each pipe. The problem is visible in the 8 bpp mode if colors above 15 are used. The first 16 color entries are displayed correctly.
