2008-09-23sched: rework wakeup preemptionPeter Zijlstra
Rework the wakeup preemption to work on real runtime instead of the virtual runtime. This greatly simplifies the code. Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2008-09-23CFS scheduler: documentation about scheduling policiesMartin Steigerwald
The documentation about the CFS scheduler is scarse when it comes to scheduling policies. This patch adds a chapter about the scheduling policies it supports. Peter Zijlstra provided most of the information for it in http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=122210038326356&w=2 Signed-off-by: Martin Steigerwald <ms@teamix.de> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2008-09-23sched: fix init_hrtick() section mismatch warningRakib Mullick
LD kernel/built-in.o WARNING: kernel/built-in.o(.text+0x326): Section mismatch in reference from the function init_hrtick() to the variable .cpuinit.data:hotplug_hrtick_nb.8 The function init_hrtick() references the variable __cpuinitdata hotplug_hrtick_nb.8. This is often because init_hrtick lacks a __cpuinitdata annotation or the annotation of hotplug_hrtick_nb.8 is wrong. Signed-off-by: Md.Rakib H.

2008-09-22sched: fix list traversal to use _rcu variantChris Friesen

2008-09-22pcmcia: Fix broken abuse of dev->driver_dataAlan Cox
PCMCIA abuses dev->private_data in the probe methods. Unfortunately it continues to abuse it after calling drv->probe() which leads to crashes and other nasties (such as bogus probes of multifunction devices) giving errors like pcmcia: registering new device pcmcia0.1 kernel: 0.1: GetNextTuple: No more items Extract the passed data before calling the driver probe function that way we don't blow up when the driver reuses dev->private_data as its right. As its close to the final release just move the hack so it works out, hopefully someone will be sufficiently embarrassed to produce a nice rework for 2.6.28.

2008-09-22sched: wakeup preempt when small overlapPeter Zijlstra
Lin Ming reported a 10% OLTP regression against 2.6.27-rc4. The difference seems to come from different preemption agressiveness, which affects the cache footprint of the workload and its effective cache trashing. Aggresively preempt a task if its avg overlap is very small, this should avoid the task going to sleep and find it still running when we schedule back to it - saving a wakeup.

2008-09-20netdev: simple_tx_hash shouldn't hash inside fragmentsAlexander Duyck
Currently simple_tx_hash is hashing inside of udp fragments. As a result packets are getting getting sent to all queues when they shouldn't be. This causes a serious performance regression which can be seen by sending UDP frames larger than mtu on multiqueue devices. This change will make it so that fragments are hashed only as IP datagrams w/o any protocol information. Signed-off-by: Alexander Duyck <alexander.h.duyck@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

While updating the rcu code, I noticed that do_nmi() for AVR32 is odd: There is an nmi_enter() call without an nmi_exit().

2008-09-19avr32: fix sys_sync_file_range() call conventionHans-Christian Egtvedt
On AVR32, all parameters beyond the 5th are passed on the stack. System calls don't use the stack -- they borrow a callee-saved register instead. This means that syscalls that take 6 parameters must be called through a stub that pushes the last parameter on the stack. This patch adds a stub for sync_file_range syscall on AVR32 architecture.
