* cputime: Consolidate vtime handling on context switchFrederic Weisbecker2012-08-209-23/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The archs that implement virtual cputime accounting all flush the cputime of a task when it gets descheduled and sometimes set up some ground initialization for the next task to account its cputime. These archs all put their own hooks in their context switch callbacks and handle the off-case themselves. Consolidate this by creating a new account_switch_vtime() callback called in generic code right after a context switch and that these archs must implement to flush the prev task cputime and initialize the next task cputime related state.

| * sched, cgroup: Reduce rq->lock hold times for large cgroup hierarchiesPeter Zijlstra2012-08-132-3/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Peter Portante reported that for large cgroup hierarchies (and or on large CPU counts) we get immense lock contention on rq->lock and stuff stops working properly. His workload was a ton of processes, each in their own cgroup, everybody idling except for a sporadic wakeup once every so often. It was found that: schedule() idle_balance() load_balance() local_irq_save() double_rq_lock() update_h_load() walk_tg_tree(tg_load_down) tg_load_down() Results in an entire cgroup hierarchy walk under rq->lock for every new-idle balance and since new-idle balance isn't throttled this results in a lot of work while holding the rq->lock. This patch does two things, it removes the work from under rq->lock based on the good principle of race and pray which is widely employed in the load-balancer as a whole. And secondly it throttles the update_h_load() calculation to max once per jiffy. I considered excluding update_h_load() for new-idle balance all-together, but purely relying on regular balance passes to update this data might not work out under some rare circumstances where the new-idle busiest isn't the regular busiest for a while (unlikely, but a nightmare to debug if someone hits it and suffers).

If the (sub)system can somehow continue operating, perhaps with reduced functionality, it's probably not BUG-worthy. If you're tempted to BUG(), think again: is completely giving up really the *only* solution? There are usually better options, where users don't need to reboot ASAP and can mostly shut down cleanly. In our case, the status flag of a ring buffer slot is managed from both sides, the kernel space and the user space. This means that even though the kernel side might work as expected, the user space screws up and changes this flag right between the send(2) is triggered when the flag is changed to TP_STATUS_SENDING and a given skb is destructed after some time. Then, this will hit the BUG macro. As David suggested, the best solution is to simply remove this statement since it cannot be used for kernel side internal consistency checks. I've tested it and the system still behaves /stable/ in this case, so in accordance with the above comment, we should rather remove it.

This prevents a resource leak. Stanislaw Gruszka gives us a fix for a NULL pointer dereference in rt61pci. Johannes Berg provides an iwlwifi patch to disable "greenfield" mode.

Disable greenfield for now to prevent that problem.

| * | | | batman-adv: Fix mem leak in the batadv_tt_local_event() functionJesper Juhl2012-08-081-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Memory is allocated for 'tt_change_node' with kmalloc(). 'tt_change_node' may go out of scope really being used for anything (except have a few members initialized) if we hit the 'del:' label. This patch makes sure we free the memory in that case.

| * | | | sched: add missing group change to qfq_change_classPaolo Valente2012-08-081-26/+69
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | [Resending again, as the text was corrupted by the email client] To speed up operations, QFQ internally divides classes into groups. Which group a class belongs to depends on the ratio between the maximum packet length and the weight of the class. Unfortunately the function qfq_change_class lacks the steps for changing the group of a class when the ratio max_pkt_len/weight of the class changes. For example, when the last of the following three commands is executed, the group of class 1:1 is not correctly changed: tc disc add dev XXX root handle 1: qfq tc class add dev XXX parent 1: qfq classid 1:1 weight 1 tc class change dev XXX parent 1: classid 1:1 qfq weight 4 Not changing the group of a class does not affect the long-term bandwidth guaranteed to the class, as the latter is independent of the maximum packet length, and correctly changes (only) if the weight of the class changes. In contrast, if the group of the class is not updated, the class is still guaranteed the short-term bandwidth and packet delay related to its old group, instead of the guarantees that it should receive according to its new weight and/or maximum packet length. This may also break service guarantees for other classes. This patch adds the missing operations. Signed-off-by: Paolo Valente <paolo.valente@unimore.it> Signed-off-by: David S.

Since we really want dst_default_metrics be const to avoid any possible false sharing and catch any buggy writes, I force a null initializer. ffffffff818a4c20 R dst_default_metrics Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Cc: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Anyway, the call_rcu_bh() use in fib_true is obviously wrong, since some users only assert rcu_read_lock(). Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Cc: "Paul E.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | pptp always use init_net as the net namespace to lookup route, this will cause route lookup failed in container. because we already set the correct net namespace to struct sock in pptp_create,so fix this by using sock_net(sk) to replace &init_net.
