* [PATCH] task: Make task list manipulations RCU safeEric W. Biederman2006-04-191-2/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While we can currently walk through thread groups, process groups, and sessions with just the rcu_read_lock, this opens the door to walking the entire task list. We already have all of the other RCU guarantees so there is no cost in doing this, this should be enough so that proc can stop taking the tasklist lock during readdir. prev_task was killed because it has no users, and using it will miss new tasks when doing an rcu traversal.

* [PATCH] kill unushed __put_task_struct_cbEric W. Biederman2006-04-141-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Somehow in the midst of dotting i's and crossing t's during the merge up to rc1 we wound up keeping __put_task_struct_cb when it should have been killed as it no longer has any users. Sorry I probably should have caught this while it was still in the -mm tree. Having the old code there gets confusing when reading through the code and trying to understand what is happening.

| * [SCSI] unify SCSI_IOCTL_SEND_COMMAND implementationsChristoph Hellwig2006-04-131-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We currently have two implementations of this obsolete ioctl, one in the block layer and one in the scsi code. Both of them have drawbacks. This patch kills the scsi layer version after updating the block version with the missing bits: - argument checking - use scatterlist I/O - set number of retries based on the submitted command This is the last user of non-S/G I/O except for the gdth driver, so getting this in ASAP and through the scsi tree would be nie to kill the non-S/G I/O path. Jens, what do you think about adding a check for non-S/G I/O in the midlayer? Thanks to Or Gerlitz for testing this patch.

We have a bunch of old bugs for removable storage handling where we probe successfully for a filesystem on the raw disk, but at the same time the kernel recognizes a partition table and creates partition devices. Currently there is no sane way to tell if partitions will show up or not at the time the disk device is announced to userspace. With the delayed events we can simply skip any probe for a filesystem on the raw disk when we find already present partitions.

Call poll requesting POLLERR or POLLPRI (so select/exceptfds works) When poll returns, close the file and go to top of loop. or lseek to start of file and go back to the 'read'. Events are signaled by an object manager calling sysfs_notify(kobj, dir, attr); If the dir is non-NULL, it is used to find a subdirectory which contains the attribute (presumably created by sysfs_create_group). This has a cost of one int per attribute, one wait_queuehead per kobject, one int per open file. The name "sysfs_notify" may be confused with the inotify functionality. Maybe it would be nice to support inotify for sysfs attributes as well?

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Basically an in-kernel implementation of tee, which uses splice and the pipe buffers as an intelligent way to pass data around by reference. Where the user space tee consumes the input and produces a stdout and file output, this syscall merely duplicates the data inside a pipe to another pipe.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | An UML user reported (against 2.6.13.3/UML) he got kernel Oopses when trying to rmmod (on a kernel with module unloading enabled) a module compiled with module unloading disabled. As crashing is a very correct thing to do in that case, a solution is altering the vermagic string to include this too. Possibly, however, the code should not crash in this case, even if the module didn't support unloading - it should simply abort the module removal. In this case, fixing that bug would be a better solution. I've not investigated though. (akpm: a bit marginal - root screwed up and shot himself in the foot).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some string functions were safely overrideable in lib/string.c, but their corresponding declarations in linux/string.h were not. Correct this, and make strcspn overrideable. Odds of someone wanting to do optimized assembly of these are small, but for the sake of cleanliness, might as well bring them into line with the rest of the file.

* | [PATCH] Configurable NODES_SHIFTYasunori Goto2006-04-111-5/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Current implementations define NODES_SHIFT in include/asm-xxx/numnodes.h for each arch. Its definition is sometimes configurable. Indeed, ia64 defines 5 NODES_SHIFT values in the current git tree. But it looks a bit messy. SGI-SN2(ia64) system requires 1024 nodes, and the number of nodes already has been changeable by config. Suitable node's number may be changed in the future even if it is other architecture. So, I wrote configurable node's number. This patch set defines just default value for each arch which needs multi nodes except ia64. But, it is easy to change to configurable if necessary. On ia64 the number of nodes can be already configured in generic ia64 and SN2 config. But, NODES_SHIFT is defined for DIG64 and HP'S machine too. So, I changed it so that all platforms can be configured via CONFIG_NODES_SHIFT. It would be simpler.

This implementation might be the cause of oom kill in memory pressure situation. If the Linux runs with page reservation features like /proc/sys/vm/lowmem_reserve_ratio and without swap region, I think the oom kill occurs easily. - the overall design approach in the patch When the OVERCOMMET_GUESS algorithm calculates number of free pages, the reserved free pages are regarded as non-free pages. This change helps to avoid the pitfall that the number of free pages become less than the number which the kernel tries to keep free. - testing results I tested the patches using my test kernel module. If the patches aren't applied to the kernel, __vm_enough_memory() returns success in the situation but autual page allocation is failed. On the other hand, if the patches are applied to the kernel, memory allocation failure is avoided since __vm_enough_memory() returns failure in the situation. I checked that on i386 SMP 16GB memory machine. I haven't tested on nommu environment currently. This patch adds totalreserve_pages for __vm_enough_memory(). Calculate_totalreserve_pages() checks maximum lowmem_reserve pages and pages_high in each zone. Finally, the function stores the sum of each zone to totalreserve_pages. The totalreserve_pages is calculated when the VM is initilized. And the variable is updated when /proc/sys/vm/lowmem_reserve_raito or /proc/sys/vm/min_free_kbytes are changed.

* | [PATCH] md: make sure 64bit fields in version-1 metadata are 64-bit alignedNeilBrown2006-04-111-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | reshape_position is a 64bit field that was not 64bit aligned. So swap with new_level. NOTE: this is a user-visible change. However: - The bad code has not appeared in a released kernel - This code is still marked 'experimental' - This only affects version-1 superblock, which are not in wide use - These field are only used (rather than simply reported) by user-space tools in extemely rare circumstances : after a reshape crashes in the first second of the reshape process. So I believe that, at this stage, the change is safe. Especially if people heed the 'help' message on use mdadm-2.4.1.

* | [PATCH] de_thread: Don't confuse users do_each_thread.Eric W. Biederman2006-04-101-1/+2

The simplest is a long standing double decrement of __get_cpu_var(process_counts) in __unhash_process. Caused by two processes exiting when only one was created. The other is that since we no longer detach from the thread_group list it is possible for do_each_thread when run under the tasklist_lock to see the same task_struct twice. Once on the task list as a thread_group_leader, and once on the thread list of another thread. The double appearance in do_each_thread can cause a double increment of mm_core_waiters in zap_threads resulting in problems later on in coredump_wait. To remedy those two problems this patch takes the simple approach of changing the old thread group leader into a child thread. The only routine in release_task that cares is __unhash_process, and it can be trivially seen that we handle cleaning up a thread group leader properly. Since de_thread doesn't change the pid of the exiting leader process and instead shares it with the new leader process. I change thread_group_leader to recognize group leadership based on the group_leader field and not based on pids. This should also be slightly cheaper then the existing thread_group_leader macro. I performed a quick audit and I couldn't see any user of thread_group_leader that cared about the difference. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

Each of the conjuncts may be true at different times due to unrelated conditions, so the non-atomic page_is_buddy test may find each conjunct to be true even if they were not both true at the same time (ie. the page was not on the buddy lists).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If the HPET timer is enabled, the clock can drift by ~3 seconds a day. This is due to the HPET timer not being initialized with the correct setting (still using PIT count). If HZ changes, this drift can become even more pronounced. HPET patch initializes tick_nsec with correct tick_nsec settings for HPET timer. Vojtech comments: "It's not entirely correct (it assumes the HPET ticks totally exactly), but it's significantly better than assuming the PIT error there."
