Make the softlockup detector purely timer-interrupt driven, removing softirq-context (timer) dependencies. This means that if the softlockup watchdog triggers, it has truly observed a longer than 10 seconds scheduling delay of a SCHED_FIFO prio 99 task.

We need set_page_dirty() to return true if it actually transitioned the page from a clean to dirty state. This wasn't right in a couple of places. Do a kernel-wide audit, fix things up.

2006-03-24[PATCH] fadvise(): write commandsAndrew Morton
Add two new linux-specific fadvise extensions(): LINUX_FADV_ASYNC_WRITE: start async writeout of any dirty pages between file offsets `offset' and `offset+len'. Any pages which are currently under writeout are skipped, whether or not they are dirty. LINUX_FADV_WRITE_WAIT: wait upon writeout of any dirty pages between file offsets `offset' and `offset+len'. By combining these two operations the application may do several things: LINUX_FADV_ASYNC_WRITE: push some or all of the dirty pages at the disk. LINUX_FADV_WRITE_WAIT, LINUX_FADV_ASYNC_WRITE: push all of the currently dirty pages at the disk. LINUX_FADV_WRITE_WAIT, LINUX_FADV_ASYNC_WRITE, LINUX_FADV_WRITE_WAIT: push all of the currently dirty pages at the disk, wait until they have been written. It should be noted that none of these operations write out the file's metadata. So unless the application is strictly performing overwrites of already-instantiated disk blocks, there are no guarantees here that the data will be available after a crash. To complete this suite of operations I guess we should have a "sync file metadata only" operation. This gives applications access to all the building blocks needed for all sorts of sync operations. But sync-metadata doesn't fit well with the fadvise() interface. Probably it should be a new syscall: sys_fmetadatasync(). The patch also diddles with the meaning of `endbyte' in sys_fadvise64_64(). It is made to represent that last affected byte in the file (ie: it is inclusive). Generally, all these byterange and pagerange functions are inclusive so we can easily represent EOF with -1. As Ulrich notes, these two functions are somewhat abusive of the fadvise() concept, which appears to be "set the future policy for this fd". But these commands are a perfect fit with the fadvise() impementation, and several of the existing fadvise() commands are synchronous and don't affect future policy either. I think we can live with the slight incongruity. Cc: Michael Kerrisk <mtk-manpages@gmx.net> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2006-03-24[PATCH] cpuset memory spread slab cache optimizationsPaul Jackson
The hooks in the slab cache allocator code path for support of NUMA mempolicies and cpuset memory spreading are in an important code path. Many systems will use neither feature. This patch optimizes those hooks down to a single check of some bits in the current tasks task_struct flags. For non NUMA systems, this hook and related code is already ifdef'd out. The optimization is done by using another task flag, set if the task is using a non-default NUMA mempolicy. Taking this flag bit along with the PF_SPREAD_PAGE and PF_SPREAD_SLAB flag bits added earlier in this 'cpuset memory spreading' patch set, one can check for the combination of any of these special case memory placement mechanisms with a single test of the current tasks task_struct flags. This patch also tightens up the code, to save a few bytes of kernel text space, and moves some of it out of line. Due to the nested inlines called from multiple places, we were ending up with three copies of this code, which once we get off the main code path (for local node allocation) seems a bit wasteful of instruction memory.

2006-03-24[PATCH] cpuset memory spread slab cache implementationPaul Jackson
Provide the slab cache infrastructure to support cpuset memory spreading. See the previous patches, cpuset_mem_spread, for an explanation of cpuset memory spreading. This patch provides a slab cache SLAB_MEM_SPREAD flag. If set in the kmem_cache_create() call defining a slab cache, then any task marked with the process state flag PF_MEMSPREAD will spread memory page allocations for that cache over all the allowed nodes, instead of preferring the local (faulting) node. On systems not configured with CONFIG_NUMA, this results in no change to the page allocation code path for slab caches. On systems with cpusets configured in the kernel, but the "memory_spread" cpuset option not enabled for the current tasks cpuset, this adds a call to a cpuset routine and failed bit test of the processor state flag PF_SPREAD_SLAB. For tasks so marked, a second inline test is done for the slab cache flag SLAB_MEM_SPREAD, and if that is set and if the allocation is not in_interrupt(), this adds a call to to a cpuset routine that computes which of the tasks mems_allowed nodes should be preferred for this allocation. ==> This patch adds another hook into the performance critical code path to allocating objects from the slab cache, in the ____cache_alloc() chunk, below. The next patch optimizes this hook, reducing the impact of the combined mempolicy plus memory spreading hooks on this critical code path to a single check against the tasks task_struct flags word. This patch provides the generic slab flags and logic needed to apply memory spreading to a particular slab. A subsequent patch will mark a few specific slab caches for this placement policy.

2006-03-24[PATCH] cpuset memory spread page cache implementation and hooksPaul Jackson
Change the page cache allocation calls to support cpuset memory spreading. See the previous patch, cpuset_mem_spread, for an explanation of cpuset memory spreading. On systems without cpusets configured in the kernel, this is no change. On systems with cpusets configured in the kernel, but the "memory_spread" cpuset option not enabled for the current tasks cpuset, this adds a call to a cpuset routine and failed bit test of the processor state flag PF_SPREAD_PAGE. On tasks in cpusets with "memory_spread" enabled, this adds a call to a cpuset routine that computes which of the tasks mems_allowed nodes should be preferred for this allocation. If memory spreading applies to a particular allocation, then any other NUMA mempolicy does not apply.

2006-03-24[PATCH] cpuset memory spread basic implementationPaul Jackson
This patch provides the implementation and cpuset interface for an alternative memory allocation policy that can be applied to certain kinds of memory allocations, such as the page cache (file system buffers) and some slab caches (such as inode caches). The policy is called "memory spreading." If enabled, it spreads out these kinds of memory allocations over all the nodes allowed to a task, instead of preferring to place them on the node where the task is executing. All other kinds of allocations, including anonymous pages for a tasks stack and data regions, are not affected by this policy choice, and continue to be allocated preferring the node local to execution, as modified by the NUMA mempolicy. There are two boolean flag files per cpuset that control where the kernel allocates pages for the file system buffers and related in kernel data structures. They are called 'memory_spread_page' and 'memory_spread_slab'. If the per-cpuset boolean flag file 'memory_spread_page' is set, then the kernel will spread the file system buffers (page cache) evenly over all the nodes that the faulting task is allowed to use, instead of preferring to put those pages on the node where the task is running. If the per-cpuset boolean flag file 'memory_spread_slab' is set, then the kernel will spread some file system related slab caches, such as for inodes and dentries evenly over all the nodes that the faulting task is allowed to use, instead of preferring to put those pages on the node where the task is running. The implementation is simple. Setting the cpuset flags 'memory_spread_page' or 'memory_spread_cache' turns on the per-process flags PF_SPREAD_PAGE or PF_SPREAD_SLAB, respectively, for each task that is in the cpuset or subsequently joins that cpuset. In subsequent patches, the page allocation calls for the affected page cache and slab caches are modified to perform an inline check for these flags, and if set, a call to a new routine cpuset_mem_spread_node() returns the node to prefer for the allocation. The cpuset_mem_spread_node() routine is also simple. It uses the value of a per-task rotor cpuset_mem_spread_rotor to select the next node in the current tasks mems_allowed to prefer for the allocation. This policy can provide substantial improvements for jobs that need to place thread local data on the corresponding node, but that need to access large file system data sets that need to be spread across the several nodes in the jobs cpuset in order to fit. Without this patch, especially for jobs that might have one thread reading in the data set, the memory allocation across the nodes in the jobs cpuset can become very uneven. A couple of Copyright year ranges are updated as well. And a couple of email addresses that can be found in the MAINTAINERS file are removed.

2006-03-24[PATCH] Represent dirty_*_centisecs as jiffies internallyBart Samwel
Make that the internal values for: /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs /proc/sys/vm/dirty_expire_centisecs are stored as jiffies instead of centiseconds. Let the sysctl interface do the conversions with full precision using clock_t_to_jiffies, instead of doing overflow-sensitive on-the-fly conversions every time the values are used. Cons: apparent precision loss if HZ is not a multiple of 100, because of conversion back and forth. This is a common problem for all sysctl values that use proc_dointvec_userhz_jiffies.

2006-03-24[PATCH] bitmap: region cleanupPaul Jackson
Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org> says: This patch set implements a number of patches to clean up and restructure the bitmap region code, in addition to extending the interface to support multiword spanning allocations. The current implementation (before this patch set) is limited by only being able to allocate pages <= BITS_PER_LONG, as noted by the strategically positioned BUG_ON() at lib/bitmap.c:752: /* We don't do regions of pages > BITS_PER_LONG. The * algorithm would be a simple look for multiple zeros in the * array, but there's no driver today that needs this. If you * trip this BUG(), you get to code it... */ BUG_ON(pages > BITS_PER_LONG); As I seem to have been the first person to trigger this, the result ends up being the following patch set with the help of Paul Jackson. The final patch in the series eliminates quite a bit of code duplication, so the bitmap code size ends up being smaller than the current implementation as an added bonus. After these are applied, it should already be possible to do multiword allocations with dma_alloc_coherent() out of ranges established by dma_declare_coherent_memory() on x86 without having to change any of the code, and the SH store queue API will follow up on this as the other user that needs support for this. This patch: Some code cleanup on the lib/bitmap.c bitmap_*_region() routines: * spacing * variable names * comments Has no change to code function.

2006-03-24[PATCH] vfs: MS_VERBOSE should be MS_SILENTTheodore Ts'o
The meaning of MS_VERBOSE is backwards; if the bit is set, it really means, "don't be verbose". This is confusing and counter-intuitive. In addition, there is also no way to set the MS_VERBOSE flag in the mount(8) program in util-linux, but interesting, it does define options which would do the right thing if MS_SILENT were defined, which unfortunately we do not: #ifdef MS_SILENT { "quiet", 0, 0, MS_SILENT }, /* be quiet */ { "loud", 0, 1, MS_SILENT }, /* print out messages. */ #endif So the obvious fix is to deprecate the use of MS_VERBOSE and replace it with MS_SILENT.

2006-03-23[PATCH] more for_each_cpu() conversionsAndrew Morton
When we stop allocating percpu memory for not-possible CPUs we must not touch the percpu data for not-possible CPUs at all. The correct way of doing this is to test cpu_possible() or to use for_each_cpu(). This patch is a kernel-wide sweep of all instances of NR_CPUS. I found very few instances of this bug, if any. But the patch converts lots of open-coded test to use the preferred helper macros.

2006-03-23[PATCH] get_empty_filp tweaks, inline epoll_init_file()Benjamin LaHaise
Eliminate a handful of cache references by keeping current in a register instead of reloading (helps x86) and avoiding the overhead of a function call. Inlining eventpoll_init_file() saves 24 bytes. Also reorder file initialization to make writes occur more sequentially.

2006-03-23[PATCH] pause_on_oops command line optionAndrew Morton
Attempt to fix the problem wherein people's oops reports scroll off the screen due to repeated oopsing or to oopses on other CPUs. If this happens the user can reboot with the `pause_on_oops=<seconds>' option. It will allow the first oopsing CPU to print an oops record just a single time. Second oopsing attempts, or oopses on other CPUs will cause those CPUs to enter a tight loop until the specified number of seconds have elapsed. The patch implements the infrastructure generically in the expectation that architectures other than x86 will find it useful.
