* workqueues: s/ON_STACK/ONSTACK/Andrew Morton2010-10-271-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Silly though it is, completions and wait_queue_heads use foo_ONSTACK (COMPLETION_INITIALIZER_ONSTACK, DECLARE_COMPLETION_ONSTACK, __WAIT_QUEUE_HEAD_INIT_ONSTACK and DECLARE_WAIT_QUEUE_HEAD_ONSTACK) so I guess workqueues should do the same thing. s/INIT_WORK_ON_STACK/INIT_WORK_ONSTACK/ s/INIT_DELAYED_WORK_ON_STACK/INIT_DELAYED_WORK_ONSTACK/ Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

* oom: add per-mm oom disable countYing Han2010-10-272-1/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It's pointless to kill a task if another thread sharing its mm cannot be killed to allow future memory freeing. A subsequent patch will prevent kills in such cases, but first it's necessary to have a way to flag a task that shares memory with an OOM_DISABLE task that doesn't incur an additional tasklist scan, which would make select_bad_process() an O(n^2) function. This patch adds an atomic counter to struct mm_struct that follows how many threads attached to it have an oom_score_adj of OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MIN. They cannot be killed by the kernel, so their memory cannot be freed in oom conditions. This only requires task_lock() on the task that we're operating on, it does not require mm->mmap_sem since task_lock() pins the mm and the operation is atomic.

* MN10300: Fix the PERCPU() alignment to allow for workqueuesDavid Howells2010-10-261-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the MN10300 arch, we occasionally see an assertion being tripped in alloc_cwqs() at the following line: /* just in case, make sure it's actually aligned */ ---> BUG_ON(!IS_ALIGNED(wq->cpu_wq.v, align)); return wq->cpu_wq.v ? 0 : -ENOMEM; The values are: wa->cpu_wq.v => 0x902776e0 align => 0x100 and align is calculated by the following: const size_t align = max_t(size_t, 1 << WORK_STRUCT_FLAG_BITS, __alignof__(unsigned long long)); This is because the pointer in question (wq->cpu_wq.v) loses some of its lower bits to control flags, and so the object it points to must be sufficiently aligned to avoid the need to use those bits for pointing to things. Currently, 4 control bits and 4 colour bits are used in normal circumstances, plus a debugging bit if debugging is set. This requires the cpu_workqueue_struct struct to be at least 256 bytes aligned (or 512 bytes aligned with debugging). PERCPU() alignment on MN13000, however, is only 32 bytes as set in vmlinux.lds.S. So we set this to PAGE_SIZE (4096) to match most other arches and stick a comment in alloc_cwqs() for anyone else who triggers the assertion.

Resuming from a different CPU than what took the original exception will cause problems with spin locks that are freed from the a different processor than had taken the lock. The special logic in dbg_cpu_switch() can go away entirely with because the state of what cpus want to be masters or slaves will remain unchanged between entry and exit of the debug_core exception context.

The algorithm for entering the kernel debug core and resuming kernel execution was racy and had several known edge case problems with attempting to debug something on a heavily loaded system using breakpoints that are hit repeatedly and quickly. The prior "locking" design entry worked as follows: * The atomic counter kgdb_active was used with atomic exchange in order to elect a master cpu out of all the cpus that may have taken a debug exception. * The master cpu increments all elements of passive_cpu_wait[]. * The master cpu issues the round up cpus message. * Each "slave cpu" that enters the debug core increments its own element in cpu_in_kgdb[]. * Each "slave cpu" spins on passive_cpu_wait[] until it becomes 0. * The master cpu debugs the system. The new scheme removes the two arrays of atomic counters and replaces them with 2 single counters. One counter is used to count the number of cpus waiting to become a master cpu (because one or more hit an exception). The second counter is use to indicate how many cpus have entered as slave cpus. The new entry logic works as follows: * One or more cpus enters via kgdb_handle_exception() and increments the masters_in_kgdb. Each cpu attempts to get the spin lock called dbg_master_lock. * The master cpu sets kgdb_active to the current cpu. * The master cpu takes the spinlock dbg_slave_lock. * The master cpu asks to round up all the other cpus. * Each slave cpu that is not already in kgdb_handle_exception() will enter and increment slaves_in_kgdb. Each slave will now spin try_locking on dbg_slave_lock. * The master cpu waits for the sum of masters_in_kgdb and slaves_in_kgdb to be equal to the sum of the online cpus. * The master cpu debugs the system. In the new design the kgdb_active can only be changed while holding dbg_master_lock. Stress testing has not turned up any further entry/exit races that existed in the prior locking design. The prior locking design suffered from atomic variables not being truly atomic (in the capacity as used by kgdb) along with memory barrier races.

This makes the API users express the intent of the workqueue instead of indicating the internal mechanism used to guarantee forward progress. This is also to make it cleaner to add more semantics to WQ_MEM_RECLAIM. For example, if deemed necessary, memory reclaim workqueues can be made highpri. This patch doesn't introduce any functional change.

| * | | | | | | | | | workqueue: fix HIGHPRI handling in keep_working()Tejun Heo2010-10-111-1/+3

This could lead to late execution of a highpri work which was delayed due to @max_active throttling if other works are actively consuming CPU cycles. For example, the following could happen. 1. Work W0 which burns CPU cycles. 2. Two works W1 and W2 are queued to a highpri wq w/ @max_active of 1. 3. W1 starts executing and W2 is put to delayed queue. W0 and W1 are both runnable. 4. W1 finishes which puts W2 to pending queue but keep_working() incorrectly returns %false and the worker goes to sleep. 5. W0 finishes and W2 starts execution. With this patch applied, W2 starts execution as soon as W1 finishes. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

operation so we can make nonseekable_open the default for future file operations without a .llseek pointer. The three cases that we can automatically detect are no_llseek, seq_lseek and default_llseek. For cases where we can we can automatically prove that the file offset is always ignored, we use noop_llseek, which maintains the current behavior of not returning an error from a seek. New drivers should normally not use noop_llseek but instead use no_llseek and call nonseekable_open at open time. Existing drivers can be converted to do the same when the maintainer knows for certain that no user code relies on calling seek on the device file. The generated code is often incorrectly indented and right now contains comments that clarify for each added line why a specific variant was chosen. In the version that gets submitted upstream, the comments will be gone and I will manually fix the indentation, because there does not seem to be a way to do that using coccinelle. Some amount of new code is currently sitting in linux-next that should get the same modifications, which I will do at the end of the merge window. Many thanks to Julia Lawall for helping me learn to write a semantic patch that does all this. ===== begin semantic patch ===== // This adds an llseek= method to all file operations, // as a preparation for making no_llseek the default. // // The rules are // - use no_llseek explicitly if we do nonseekable_open // - use seq_lseek for sequential files // - use default_llseek if we know we access f_pos // - use noop_llseek if we know we don't access f_pos, // but we still want to allow users to call lseek // @ open1 exists @ identifier nested_open; @@ nested_open(...) { <+... nonseekable_open(...) ...+> } @ open exists@ identifier open_f; identifier i, f; identifier open1.nested_open; @@ int open_f(struct inode *i, struct file *f) { <+...

It explicitly adds calls to lock_kernel()/unlock_kernel() around get_sb/fill_super operations for filesystems that still uses the BKL. I've read through all the code formerly covered by the BKL inside do_kern_mount() and have satisfied myself that it doesn't need the BKL any more. do_kern_mount() is already called without the BKL when mounting the rootfs and in nfsctl. do_kern_mount() calls vfs_kern_mount(), which is called from various places without BKL: simple_pin_fs(), nfs_do_clone_mount() through nfs_follow_mountpoint(), afs_mntpt_do_automount() through afs_mntpt_follow_link(). Both later functions are actually the filesystems follow_link inode operation. vfs_kern_mount() is calling the specified get_sb function and lets the filesystem do its job by calling the given fill_super function. Therefore I think it is safe to push down the BKL from the VFS to the low-level filesystems get_sb/fill_super operation.
