2009-10-29param: fix lots of bugs with writing charp params from sysfs, by leaking mem.Rusty Russell
e180a6b7759a "param: fix charp parameters set via sysfs" fixed the case where charp parameters written via sysfs were freed, leaving drivers accessing random memory. Unfortunately, storing a flag in the kparam struct was a bad idea: it's rodata so setting it causes an oops on some archs. But that's not all: 1) module_param_array() on charp doesn't work reliably, since we use an uninitialized temporary struct kernel_param. 2) there's a fundamental race if a module uses this parameter and then it's changed: they will still access the old, freed, memory. The simplest fix (ie. for 2.6.32) is to never free the memory. This prevents all these problems, at cost of a memory leak. In practice, there are only 18 places where a charp is writable via sysfs, and all are root-only writable.

2009-10-22PM: Make warning in suspend_test_finish() less likely to happenRafael J. Wysocki
Increase TEST_SUSPEND_SECONDS to 10 so the warning in suspend_test_finish() doesn't annoy the users of slower systems so much. Also, make the warning print the suspend-resume cycle time, so that we know why the warning actually triggered. Patch prepared during the hacking session at the Kernel Summit in Tokyo.

It makes sense to do IOWAIT when someone is blocked due to IO throttle, as suggested by Kame and Peter. There is an old comment for not doing IOWAIT on throttle, however it has been mismatching the code for a long time. If we stop accounting IOWAIT for 2.6.32, it could be an undesirable behavior change. So restore the io_schedule.

2009-10-07NOHZ: update idle state also when NOHZ is inactiveEero Nurkkala
Commit f2e21c9610991e95621a81407cdbab881226419b had unfortunate side effects with cpufreq governors on some systems. If the system did not switch into NOHZ mode ts->inidle is not set when tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() is called from the idle routine. Therefor all subsequent calls from irq_exit() to tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() fail to call tick_nohz_start_idle(). This results in bogus idle accounting information which is passed to cpufreq governors. Set the inidle flag unconditionally of the NOHZ active state to keep the idle time accounting correct in any case.

Before this patch, all of the rcu_node structures were in the same lockdep class, so that lockdep would complain when rcu_preempt_offline_tasks() acquired the root rcu_node structure's lock while holding one of the leaf rcu_nodes' locks. This patch changes rcu_init_one() to use a separate spin_lock_init() for the root rcu_node structure's lock than is used for that of all of the rest of the rcu_node structures, which puts the root rcu_node structure's lock in its own lockdep class.

2009-10-07rcu: Make hot-unplugged CPU relinquish its own RCU callbacksPaul E. McKenney
The current interaction between RCU and CPU hotplug requires that RCU block in CPU notifiers waiting for callbacks to drain. This can be greatly simplified by having each CPU relinquish its own callbacks, and for both _rcu_barrier() and CPU_DEAD notifiers to adopt all callbacks that were previously relinquished. This change also eliminates the possibility of certain types of hangs due to the previous practice of waiting for callbacks to be invoked from within CPU notifiers.

The rcu_barrier enum causes several problems: (1) you have to define the enum somewhere, and there is no convenient place, (2) the difference between TREE_RCU and TREE_PREEMPT_RCU causes problems when you need to map from rcu_barrier enum to struct rcu_state, (3) the switch statement are large, and (4) TINY_RCU really needs a different rcu_barrier() than do the treercu implementations. So replace it with a functionally equivalent but cleaner function pointer abstraction. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2009-10-05rcu: Clean up code based on review feedback from Josh Triplett, part 4Paul E. McKenney
These issues identified during an old-fashioned face-to-face code review extending over many hours. This group improves an existing abstraction and introduces two new ones. It also fixes an RCU stall-warning bug found while making the other changes. o Make RCU_INIT_FLAVOR() declare its own variables, removing the need to declare them at each call site. o Create an rcu_for_each_leaf() macro that scans the leaf nodes of the rcu_node tree. o Create an rcu_for_each_node_breadth_first() macro that does a breadth-first traversal of the rcu_node tree, AKA stepping through the array in index-number order. o If all CPUs corresponding to a given leaf rcu_node structure go offline, then any tasks queued on that leaf will be moved to the root rcu_node structure. Therefore, the stall-warning code must dump out tasks queued on the root rcu_node structure as well as those queued on the leaf rcu_node structures. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2009-10-05rcu: Clean up code based on review feedback from Josh Triplett, part 3Paul E. McKenney
Whitespace fixes, updated comments, and trivial code movement. o Fix whitespace error in RCU_HEAD_INIT() o Move "So where is rcu_write_lock()" comment so that it does not come between the rcu_read_unlock() header comment and the rcu_read_unlock() definition. o Move the module_param statements for blimit, qhimark, and qlowmark to immediately follow the corresponding definitions. o In __rcu_offline_cpu(), move the assignment to rdp_me inside the "if" statement, given that rdp_me is not used outside of that "if" statement.

2009-10-05sched: Set correct normal_prio and prio values in sched_fork()Peter Williams
normal_prio should be updated if policy changes from RT to SCHED_MORMAL or if static_prio/nice is changed. Some paths through sched_fork() ignore this requirement and may result in normal_prio having an invalid value. Fixing this issue allows the call to effective_prio() in wake_up_new_task() to be removed.

2009-10-05tracing: Use free_percpu instead of kfreeFrederic Weisbecker
In the event->profile_enable() failure path, we release the per cpu buffers using kfree which is wrong because they are per cpu pointers. Although free_percpu only wraps kfree for now, that may change in the future so lets use the correct way.

2009-10-05tracing: Check total refcount before releasing bufs in profile_enable failureFrederic Weisbecker
When we call the profile_enable() callback of an event, we release the shared perf event tracing buffers unconditionnaly in the failure path. This is wrong because there may be other users of these. Then check the total refcount before doing this.
