* [SCSI] areca sysfs fixAndrew Morton2006-08-021-16/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | Remove sysfs_remove_bin_file() return-value checking from the areca driver. There's nothing a driver can do if sysfs file removal fails, so we'll soon be changing sysfs_remove_bin_file() to internally print a diagnostic and to return void.

* [PATCH] fix compile regression for a few scsi driversChristoph Hellwig2006-07-262-12/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This fixes three drivers to compile again after my patch that removes the data_cmnd member from struct scsi_cmnd. The fas216 change is trivial, it should have been using ->cmnd all the time. NCR53C9 (which seem to be mostly duplicate driver with esp.c!) is doing something odd, it should only have looked at ->cmnd before not the saved copy that is kept for the error handlers sake. Note that it really should deal with the sync setting themselves but use the generic domain validation code that get this right - but that's for later let's push this simple compile fix for now. And sorry for the late fix for this, I have been busy with OLS and associated activities last week. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

* | [PATCH] Reorganize the cpufreq cpu hotplug locking to not be totally bizareArjan van de Ven2006-07-265-29/+23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The patch below moves the cpu hotplugging higher up in the cpufreq layering; this is needed to avoid recursive taking of the cpu hotplug lock and to otherwise detangle the mess. The new rules are: 1. you must do lock_cpu_hotplug() around the following functions: __cpufreq_driver_target __cpufreq_governor (for CPUFREQ_GOV_LIMITS operation only) __cpufreq_set_policy 2. governer methods (.governer) must NOT take the lock_cpu_hotplug() lock in any way; they are called with the lock taken already 3. if your governer spawns a thread that does things, like calling __cpufreq_driver_target, your thread must honor rule #1. 4. the policy lock and other cpufreq internal locks nest within the lock_cpu_hotplug() lock. I'm not entirely happy about how the __cpufreq_governor rule ended up (conditional locking rule depending on the argument) but basically all callers pass this as a constant so it's not too horrible. The patch also removes the cpufreq_governor() function since during the locking audit it turned out to be entirely unused (so no need to fix it) The patch works on my testbox, but it could use more testing (otoh... it can't be much worse than the current code) Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

* [PATCH] Cpuset: fix ABBA deadlock with cpu hotplug lockPaul Jackson2006-07-231-3/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix ABBA deadlock between lock_cpu_hotplug() and the cpuset callback_mutex lock. It only happens on cpu_exclusive cpusets, due to the dynamic sched domain code trying to take the cpu hotplug lock inside the cpuset callback_mutex lock. This bug has apparently been here for several months, but didn't get hit until the right customer load on a large system. This fix appears right from inspection, but it will take a few more days running it on that customers workload to be confident we nailed it. We don't have any other reproducible test case. The cpu_hotplug_lock() tends to cover large runs of code. The other places that hold both that lock and the cpuset callback mutex lock always nest the cpuset lock inside the hotplug lock. This place tries to do the reverse, risking an ABBA deadlock. This is in the cpuset_rmdir() code, where we: * take the callback_mutex lock * mark the cpuset CS_REMOVED * call update_cpu_domains for cpu_exclusive cpusets * in that call, take the cpu_hotplug lock if the cpuset is marked for removal. Thanks to Jack Steiner for identifying this deadlock. The fix is to tear down the dynamic sched domain before we grab the cpuset callback_mutex lock. This way, the two locks are serialized, with the hotplug lock taken and released before trying for the cpuset lock. I suspect that this bug was introduced when I changed the cpuset locking from one lock to two. The dynamic sched domain dependency on cpu_exclusive cpusets and its hotplug hooks were added to this code earlier, when cpusets had only a single lock. It may well have been fine then.
