2008-09-11sched: fix 2.6.27-rc5 couldn't boot on tulsa machine randomlyZhang, Yanmin
On my tulsa x86-64 machine, kernel 2.6.25-rc5 couldn't boot randomly. Basically, function __enable_runtime forgets to reset rt_rq->rt_throttled to 0. When every cpu is up, per-cpu migration_thread is created and it runs very fast, sometimes to mark the corresponding rt_rq->rt_throttled to 1 very quickly. After all cpus are up, with below calling chain: sched_init_smp => arch_init_sched_domains => build_sched_domains => ... => cpu_attach_domain => rq_attach_root => set_rq_online => ... => _enable_runtime _enable_runtime is called against every rt_rq again, so rt_rq->rt_time is reset to 0, but rt_rq->rt_throttled might be still 1. Later on function do_sched_rt_period_timer couldn't reset it, and all RT tasks couldn't be scheduled to run on that cpu. here is RT task migration_thread which is woken up when a task is migrated to another cpu. Below patch fixes it against 2.6.27-rc5. Signed-off-by: Zhang Yanmin <yanmin_zhang@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2008-09-09clockevents: remove WARN_ON which was used to gather informationThomas Gleixner
The issue of the endless reprogramming loop due to a too small min_delta_ns was fixed with the previous updates of the clock events code, but we had no information about the spread of this problem. I added a WARN_ON to get automated information via kerneloops.org and to get some direct reports, which allowed me to analyse the affected machines. The WARN_ON has served its purpose and would be annoying for a release kernel. Remove it and just keep the information about the increase of the min_delta_ns value.

Right now, there is no notifier that is called on a new cpu, before the new cpu begins processing interrupts/softirqs. Various kernel function would need that notification, e.g. kvm works around by calling smp_call_function_single(), rcu polls cpu_online_map. The patch adds a CPU_STARTING notification. It also adds a helper function that sends the message to all cpu_chain handlers. Tested on x86-64. All other archs are untested. Especially on sparc, I'm not sure if I got it right.

2008-09-06sched: arch_reinit_sched_domains() must destroy domains to force rebuildMax Krasnyansky
What I realized recently is that calling rebuild_sched_domains() in arch_reinit_sched_domains() by itself is not enough when cpusets are enabled. partition_sched_domains() code is trying to avoid unnecessary domain rebuilds and will not actually rebuild anything if new domain masks match the old ones. What this means is that doing echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/sched_mc_power_savings on a system with cpusets enabled will not take affect untill something changes in the cpuset setup (ie new sets created or deleted). This patch fixes restore correct behaviour where domains must be rebuilt in order to enable MC powersaving flags. Test on quad-core Core2 box with both CONFIG_CPUSETS and !CONFIG_CPUSETS. Also tested on dual-core Core2 laptop. Lockdep is happy and things are working as expected.

2008-09-06kernel/cpu.c: Move the CPU_DYING notifiersManfred Spraul
When a cpu is taken offline, the CPU_DYING notifiers are called on the dying cpu. According to <linux/notifiers.h>, the cpu should be "not running any task, not handling interrupts, soon dead". For the current implementation, this is not true: - __cpu_disable can fail. If it fails, then the cpu will remain alive and happy. - At least on x86, __cpu_disable() briefly enables the local interrupts to handle any outstanding interrupts. What about moving CPU_DYING down a few lines, behind the __cpu_disable() line? There are only two CPU_DYING handlers in the kernel right now: one in kvm, one in the scheduler. Both should work with the patch applied [and: I'm not sure if either one handles a failing __cpu_disable()] The patch survives simple offlining a cpu. kvm untested due to lack of a test setup.

2008-09-06sched: fix __load_balance_iterator() for cfq with only one taskGautham R Shenoy
The __load_balance_iterator() returns a NULL when there's only one sched_entity which is a task. It is caused by the following code-path. /* Skip over entities that are not tasks */ do { se = list_entry(next, struct sched_entity, group_node); next = next->next; } while (next != &cfs_rq->tasks && !entity_is_task(se)); if (next == &cfs_rq->tasks) return NULL; ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This will return NULL even when se is a task. As a side-effect, there was a regression in sched_mc behavior since 2.6.25, since iter_move_one_task() when it calls load_balance_start_fair(), would not get any tasks to move! Fix this by checking if the last entity was a task or not.

2008-09-06ntp: fix calculation of the next jiffie to trigger RTC syncMaciej W. Rozycki
We have a bug in the calculation of the next jiffie to trigger the RTC synchronisation. The aim here is to run sync_cmos_clock() as close as possible to the middle of a second. Which means we want this function to be called less than or equal to half a jiffie away from when now.tv_nsec equals 5e8 (500000000). If this is not the case for a given call to the function, for this purpose instead of updating the RTC we calculate the offset in nanoseconds to the next point in time where now.tv_nsec will be equal 5e8. The calculated offset is then converted to jiffies as these are the unit used by the timer. Hovewer timespec_to_jiffies() used here uses a ceil()-type rounding mode, where the resulting value is rounded up. As a result the range of now.tv_nsec when the timer will trigger is from 5e8 to 5e8 + TICK_NSEC rather than the desired 5e8 - TICK_NSEC / 2 to 5e8 + TICK_NSEC / 2. As a result if for example sync_cmos_clock() happens to be called at the time when now.tv_nsec is between 5e8 + TICK_NSEC / 2 and 5e8 to 5e8 + TICK_NSEC, it will simply be rescheduled HZ jiffies later, falling in the same range of now.tv_nsec again. Similarly for cases offsetted by an integer multiple of TICK_NSEC. This change addresses the problem by subtracting TICK_NSEC / 2 from the nanosecond offset to the next point in time where now.tv_nsec will be equal 5e8, effectively shifting the following rounding in timespec_to_jiffies() so that it produces a rounded-to-nearest result.

2008-09-05sched: fix process time monotonicityBalbir Singh
Spencer reported a problem where utime and stime were going negative despite the fixes in commit b27f03d4bdc145a09fb7b0c0e004b29f1ee555fa. The suspected reason for the problem is that signal_struct maintains it's own utime and stime (of exited tasks), these are not updated using the new task_utime() routine, hence sig->utime can go backwards and cause the same problem to occur (sig->utime, adds tsk->utime and not task_utime()). This patch fixes the problem TODO: using max(task->prev_utime, derived utime) works for now, but a more generic solution is to implement cputime_max() and use the cputime_gt() function for comparison.

2008-09-05clockevents: prevent endless loop lockupThomas Gleixner
The C1E/HPET bug reports on AMDX2/RS690 systems where tracked down to a too small value of the HPET minumum delta for programming an event. The clockevents code needs to enforce an interrupt event on the clock event device in some cases. The enforcement code was stupid and naive, as it just added the minimum delta to the current time and tried to reprogram the device. When the minimum delta is too small, then this loops forever. Add a sanity check. Allow reprogramming to fail 3 times, then print a warning and double the minimum delta value to make sure, that this does not happen again. Use the same function for both tick-oneshot and tick-broadcast code. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2008-09-05clockevents: prevent multiple init/shutdownThomas Gleixner
While chasing the C1E/HPET bugreports I went through the clock events code inch by inch and found that the broadcast device can be initialized and shutdown multiple times. Multiple shutdowns are not critical, but useless waste of time. Multiple initializations are simply broken. Another CPU might have the device in use already after the first initialization and the second init could just render it unusable again.

2008-09-05clockevents: enforce reprogram in oneshot setupThomas Gleixner
In tick_oneshot_setup we program the device to the given next_event, but we do not check the return value. We need to make sure that the device is programmed enforced so the interrupt handler engine starts working. Split out the reprogramming function from tick_program_event() and call it with the device, which was handed in to tick_setup_oneshot(). Set the force argument, so the devices is firing an interrupt.

The reprogramming of the periodic broadcast handler was broken, when the first programming returned -ETIME.

The loop in question calculates the new expiry value from the next_event value and therefor never increases.

2008-09-05clockevents: prevent clockevent event_handler ending up handler_noopVenkatesh Pallipadi
There is a ordering related problem with clockevents code, due to which clockevents_register_device() called after tickless/highres switch will not work. The new clockevent ends up with clockevents_handle_noop as event handler, resulting in no timer activity. The problematic path seems to be * old device already has hrtimer_interrupt as the event_handler * new clockevent device registers with a higher rating * tick_check_new_device() is called * clockevents_exchange_device() gets called * old->event_handler is set to clockevents_handle_noop * tick_setup_device() is called for the new device * which sets new->event_handler using the old->event_handler which is noop. Change the ordering so that new device inherits the proper handler. This does not have any issue in normal case as most likely all the clockevent devices are setup before the highres switch. But, can potentially be affecting some corner case where HPET force detect happens after the highres switch. This was a problem with HPET in MSI mode code that we have been experimenting with.

2008-09-02pid_ns: (BUG 11391) change ->child_reaper when init->group_leader exitsOleg Nesterov
We don't change pid_ns->child_reaper when the main thread of the subnamespace init exits. As Robert Rex <robert.rex@exasol.com> pointed out this is wrong. Yes, the re-parenting itself works correctly, but if the reparented task exits it needs ->parent->nsproxy->pid_ns in do_notify_parent(), and if the main thread is zombie its ->nsproxy was already cleared by exit_task_namespaces(). Introduce the new function, find_new_reaper(), which finds the new ->parent for the re-parenting and changes ->child_reaper if needed. Kill the now unneeded exit_child_reaper(). Also move the changing of ->child_reaper from zap_pid_ns_processes() to find_new_reaper(), this consolidates the games with ->child_reaper and makes it stable under tasklist_lock.

2008-09-02pid_ns: zap_pid_ns_processes: fix the ->child_reaper changingOleg Nesterov
zap_pid_ns_processes() sets pid_ns->child_reaper = NULL, this is wrong. Yes, we have already killed all tasks in this namespace, and sys_wait4() doesn't see any child. But this doesn't mean ->children list is empty, we may have EXIT_DEAD tasks which are not visible to do_wait(). In that case the subsequent forget_original_parent() will crash the kernel because it will try to re-parent these tasks to the NULL reaper. Even if there are no childs, it is not good that forget_original_parent() uses reaper == NULL. Change the code to set ->child_reaper = init_pid_ns.child_reaper instead. We could use pid_ns->parent->child_reaper as well, I think this does not really matter. These EXIT_DEAD tasks are not visible to the new ->parent after re-parenting, they will silently do release_task() eventually. Note that we must change ->child_reaper, otherwise forget_original_parent() will use reaper == father, and in that case we will hit the (correct) BUG_ON(!list_empty(&father->children)).

2008-08-29Resource handling: add 'insert_resource_expand_to_fit()' functionLinus Torvalds
Not used anywhere yet, but this complements the existing plain 'insert_resource()' functionality with a version that can expand the resource we are adding in order to fix up any conflicts it has with existing resources. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2008-08-29Don't trigger softlockup detector on network fs blocked tasksAndi Kleen
Pulling the ethernet cable on a 2.6.27-rc system with NFS mounts currently leads to an ongoing flood of soft lockup detector backtraces for all tasks blocked on the NFS mounts when the hickup takes longer than 120s. I don't think NFS problems should be all that noisy. Luckily there's a reasonably easy way to distingush this case. Don't report task softlockup warnings for tasks in TASK_KILLABLE state, which is used by the network file systems. I believe this patch is a 2.6.27 candidate.
