2006-12-06SUNRPC: Fix a potential race in rpc_wake_up_task()Trond Myklebust
Use RCU to ensure that we can safely call rpc_finish_wakeup after we've called __rpc_do_wake_up_task. If not, there is a theoretical race, in which the rpc_task finishes executing, and gets freed first. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

2006-12-06Subject: Re: [PATCH] Fix SUNRPC wakeup/execute race conditionChristophe Saout
The sunrpc scheduler contains a race condition that can let an RPC task end up being neither running nor on any wait queue. The race takes place between rpc_make_runnable (called from rpc_wake_up_task) and __rpc_execute under the following condition: First __rpc_execute calls tk_action which puts the task on some wait queue. The task is dequeued by another process before __rpc_execute continues its execution. While executing rpc_make_runnable exactly after setting the task `running' bit and before clearing the `queued' bit __rpc_execute picks up execution, clears `running' and subsequently both functions fall through, both under the false assumption somebody else took the job. Swapping rpc_test_and_set_running with rpc_clear_queued in rpc_make_runnable fixes that hole. This introduces another possible race condition that can be handled by checking for `queued' after setting the `running' bit. Bug noticed on a 4-way x86_64 system under XEN with an NFSv4 server on the same physical machine, apparently one of the few ways to hit this race condition at all.

2006-11-22WorkStruct: Pass the work_struct pointer instead of context dataDavid Howells
Pass the work_struct pointer to the work function rather than context data. The work function can use container_of() to work out the data. For the cases where the container of the work_struct may go away the moment the pending bit is cleared, it is made possible to defer the release of the structure by deferring the clearing of the pending bit. To make this work, an extra flag is introduced into the management side of the work_struct. This governs auto-release of the structure upon execution. Ordinarily, the work queue executor would release the work_struct for further scheduling or deallocation by clearing the pending bit prior to jumping to the work function. This means that, unless the driver makes some guarantee itself that the work_struct won't go away, the work function may not access anything else in the work_struct or its container lest they be deallocated.. This is a problem if the auxiliary data is taken away (as done by the last patch). However, if the pending bit is *not* cleared before jumping to the work function, then the work function *may* access the work_struct and its container with no problems. But then the work function must itself release the work_struct by calling work_release(). In most cases, automatic release is fine, so this is the default. Special initiators exist for the non-auto-release case (ending in _NAR). Signed-Off-By: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
2006-09-27[PATCH] Really ignore kmem_cache_destroy return valueAlexey Dobriyan
* Rougly half of callers already do it by not checking return value * Code in drivers/acpi/osl.c does the following to be sure: (void)kmem_cache_destroy(cache); * Those who check it printk something, however, slab_error already printed the name of failed cache. * XFS BUGs on failed kmem_cache_destroy which is not the decision low-level filesystem driver should make.

2006-03-20SUNRPC: Ensure rpc_call_async() always calls tk_ops->rpc_release()Trond Myklebust

2006-03-20SUNRPC: introduce per-task RPC iostatsChuck Lever
Account for various things that occur while an RPC task is executed. Separate timers for RPC round trip and RPC execution time show how long RPC requests wait in queue before being sent.

2006-01-06SUNRPC: switchable buffer allocationChuck Lever
Add RPC client transport switch support for replacing buffer management on a per-transport basis. In the current IPv4 socket transport implementation, RPC buffers are allocated as needed for each RPC message that is sent. Some transport implementations may choose to use pre-allocated buffers for encoding, sending, receiving, and unmarshalling RPC messages, however. For transports capable of direct data placement, the buffers can be carved out of a pre-registered area of memory rather than from a slab cache. Test-plan: Millions of fsx operations. Performance characterization with "sio" and "iozone". Use oprofile and other tools to look for significant regression in CPU utilization.

2006-01-06NFSv4: stateful NFSv4 RPC call interfaceTrond Myklebust
The NFSv4 model requires us to complete all RPC calls that might establish state on the server whether or not the user wants to interrupt it. We may also need to schedule new work (including new RPC calls) in order to cancel the new state. The asynchronous RPC model will allow us to ensure that RPC calls always complete, but in order to allow for "synchronous" RPC, we want to add the ability to wait for completion. The waits are, of course, interruptible. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
