* padata: Make two separate cpumasksDan Kruchinin2010-07-191-124/+347
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The aim of this patch is to make two separate cpumasks for padata parallel and serial workers respectively. It allows user to make more thin and sophisticated configurations of padata framework. For example user may bind parallel and serial workers to non-intersecting CPU groups to gain better performance. Also each padata instance has notifiers chain for its cpumasks now. If either parallel or serial or both masks were changed all interested subsystems will get notification about that. It's especially useful if padata user uses algorithm for callback CPU selection according to serial cpumask.

* padata: simplify serialization mechanismSteffen Klassert2010-07-141-52/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | We count the number of processed objects on a percpu basis, so we need to go through all the percpu reorder queues to calculate the sequence number of the next object that needs serialization. This patch changes this to count the number of processed objects global. So we can calculate the sequence number and the percpu reorder queue of the next object that needs serialization without searching through the percpu reorder queues. This avoids some accesses to memory of foreign cpus. Signed-off-by: Steffen Klassert <steffen.klassert@secunet.com> Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
* padata: make padata_do_parallel to return zero on successSteffen Klassert2010-07-141-6/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | To return -EINPROGRESS on success in padata_do_parallel was considered to be odd. This patch changes this to return zero on success. Also the only user of padata, pcrypt is adapted to convert a return of zero to -EINPROGRESS within the crypto layer. This also removes the pcrypt fallback if padata_do_parallel was called on a not running padata instance as we can't handle it anymore. This fallback was unused, so it's save to remove it.

* padata: Handle empty padata cpumasksSteffen Klassert2010-07-141-11/+50
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes a bug when the padata cpumask does not intersect with the active cpumask. In this case we get a division by zero in padata_alloc_pd and we end up with a useless padata instance. Padata can end up with an empty cpumask for two reasons: 1. A user removed the last cpu that belongs to the padata cpumask and the active cpumask. 2. The last cpu that belongs to the padata cpumask and the active cpumask goes offline. We introduce a function padata_validate_cpumask to check if the padata cpumask does intersect with the active cpumask. If the cpumasks do not intersect we mark the instance as invalid, so it can't be used. We do not allocate the cpumask dependend recources in this case. This fixes the division by zero and keeps the padate instance in a consistent state. It's not possible to trigger this bug by now because the only padata user, pcrypt uses always the possible cpumask.

This will be used to mark a padata instance as invalid, if the padata cpumask does not intersect with the active cpumask. we change padata_start to return an error if the PADATA_INVALID is set.

* | cpu/mem hotplug: enable CPUs online before local memory onlineminskey guo2010-05-251-0/+25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Enable users to online CPUs even if the CPUs belongs to a numa node which doesn't have onlined local memory. The zonlists(pg_data_t.node_zonelists[]) of a numa node are created either in system boot/init period, or at the time of local memory online. For a numa node without onlined local memory, its zonelists are not initialized at present. As a result, any memory allocation operations executed by CPUs within this node will fail. In fact, an out-of-memory error is triggered when attempt to online CPUs before memory comes to online. This patch tries to create zonelists for such numa nodes, so that the memory allocation for this node can be fallback'ed to other nodes.

* | mm: compaction: add a tunable that decides when memory should be compacted ↵Mel Gorman2010-05-251-0/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | and when it should be reclaimed The kernel applies some heuristics when deciding if memory should be compacted or reclaimed to satisfy a high-order allocation. One of these is based on the fragmentation. If the index is below 500, memory will not be compacted. This choice is arbitrary and not based on data. To help optimise the system and set a sensible default for this value, this patch adds a sysctl extfrag_threshold. The kernel will only compact memory if the fragmentation index is above the extfrag_threshold.

* | cpuset,mm: fix no node to alloc memory when changing cpuset's memsMiao Xie2010-05-252-8/+52

But in the way, the allocator may find that there is no node to alloc memory. The reason is that cpuset rebinds the task's mempolicy, it cleans the nodes which the allocater can alloc pages on, for example: (mpol: mempolicy) task1 task1's mpol task2 alloc page 1 alloc on node0? NO 1 1 change mems from 1 to 0 1 rebind task1's mpol 0-1 set new bits 0 clear disallowed bits alloc on node1? NO 0 ... can't alloc page goto oom This patch fixes this problem by expanding the nodes range first(set newly allowed bits) and shrink it lazily(clear newly disallowed bits). So we use a variable to tell the write-side task that read-side task is reading nodemask, and the write-side task clears newly disallowed nodes after read-side task ends the current memory allocation.

It happens only on the kernel that do not do atomic nodemask_t stores. (MAX_NUMNODES > BITS_PER_LONG) But I found that there is also a problem on the kernel that can do atomic nodemask_t stores. The problem is that the allocator can't find a node to alloc page when changing cpuset's mems though there is a lot of free memory. The reason is like this: (mpol: mempolicy) task1 task1's mpol task2 alloc page 1 alloc on node0? NO 1 1 change mems from 1 to 0 1 rebind task1's mpol 0-1 set new bits 0 clear disallowed bits alloc on node1? NO 0 ... can't alloc page goto oom I can use the attached program reproduce it by the following step: # mkdir /dev/cpuset # mount -t cpuset cpuset /dev/cpuset # mkdir /dev/cpuset/1 # echo `cat /dev/cpuset/cpus` > /dev/cpuset/1/cpus # echo `cat /dev/cpuset/mems` > /dev/cpuset/1/mems # echo $$ > /dev/cpuset/1/tasks # numactl --membind=`cat /dev/cpuset/mems` ./cpuset_mem_hog <nr_tasks> & <nr_tasks> = max(nr_cpus - 1, 1) # killall -s SIGUSR1 cpuset_mem_hog # ./change_mems.sh several hours later, oom will happen though there is a lot of free memory. This patchset fixes this problem by expanding the nodes range first(set newly allowed bits) and shrink it lazily(clear newly disallowed bits). So we use a variable to tell the write-side task that read-side task is reading nodemask, and the write-side task clears newly disallowed nodes after read-side task ends the current memory allocation. This patch: In order to fix no node to alloc memory, when we want to update mempolicy and mems_allowed, we expand the set of nodes first (set all the newly nodes) and shrink the set of nodes lazily(clean disallowed nodes), But the mempolicy's rebind functions may breaks the expanding. So we restructure the mempolicy's rebind functions and split the rebind work to two steps, just like the update of cpuset's mems: The 1st step: expand the set of the mempolicy's nodes. The 2nd step: shrink the set of the mempolicy's nodes. It is used when there is no real lock to protect the mempolicy in the read-side. Otherwise we can do rebind work at once. In order to implement it, we define enum mpol_rebind_step { MPOL_REBIND_ONCE, MPOL_REBIND_STEP1, MPOL_REBIND_STEP2, MPOL_REBIND_NSTEP, }; If the mempolicy needn't be updated by two steps, we can pass MPOL_REBIND_ONCE to the rebind functions. Or we can pass MPOL_REBIND_STEP1 to do the first step of the rebind work and pass MPOL_REBIND_STEP2 to do the second step work. Besides that, it maybe long time between these two step and we have to release the lock that protects mempolicy and mems_allowed. If we hold the lock once again, we must check whether the current mempolicy is under the rebinding (the first step has been done) or not, because the task may alloc a new mempolicy when we don't hold the lock. So we defined the following flag to identify it: #define MPOL_F_REBINDING (1 << 2) The new functions will be used in the next patch.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | commit 64ce4c2f (time: Clean up warp_clock()) breaks the timezone update in a very subtle way. To avoid the direct access to timekeeping internals it adds the timezone delta to the current time with timespec_add_safe(). This works nicely when the timezone delta is > 0. If timezone delta is < 0 then the wrap check in timespec_add_safe() triggers and timespec_add_safe() returns TIME_MAX and screws up timekeeping completely. The comment above timespec_add_safe() says: It's assumed that both values are valid (>= 0) Add the timezone seconds adjustment directly. Reported-by: Rafael J.

If the MUXED field is set on the resource and on the request (via request_muxed_region) then we block until the previous owner of the muxed resource releases their region. This allows us to implement proper resource sharing and locking for superio chips using code of the form enable_my_superio_dev() { request_muxed_region(0x44, 0x02, "superio:watchdog"); outb() ..sequence to enable chip } disable_my_superio_dev() { outb() .. sequence of disable chip release_region(0x44, 0x02); } Signed-off-by: Giel van Schijndel <me@mortis.eu> Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Jesse Barnes <jbarnes@virtuousgeek.org>

The problem was a deadlock: we wait for a module to finish initializing, but we keep the module_lock mutex so it can't complete. In particular, this could reasonably happen if a module does a request_module() in its initialization routine. So we change use_module() to return an errno rather than a bool, and if it's -EBUSY we drop the lock and wait in the caller, then reaquire the lock.

This check was wrong implemented and returned always true, so the try_again loop in padata_reorder was never taken. This can lead to object leaks in some rare cases due to a race that appears with the trylock in padata_reorder. The try_again loop was not a good idea after all, because a cpu could take that loop frequently, so we handle this with a timer instead. This patch adds a timer to handle the race that appears with the trylock. If cpu1 queues an object to the reorder queue while cpu2 holds the pd->lock but left the while loop in padata_reorder already, cpu2 can't care for this object and cpu1 exits because it can't get the lock. Usually the next cpu that takes the lock cares for this object too. We need the timer just if this object was the last one that arrives to the reorder queues. The timer function sends it out in this case. Signed-off-by: Steffen Klassert <steffen.klassert@secunet.com> Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
