2006-02-10[PATCH] sched: remove smpniceNick Piggin
I don't think the code is quite ready, which is why I asked for Peter's additions to also be merged before I acked it (although it turned out that it still isn't quite ready with his additions either). Basically I have had similar observations to Suresh in that it does not play nicely with the rest of the balancing infrastructure (and raised similar concerns in my review). The samples (group of 4) I got for "maximum recorded imbalance" on a 2x2 SMP+HT Xeon are as follows: | Following boot | hackbench 20 | hackbench 40 -----------+----------------+---------------------+--------------------- 2.6.16-rc2 | 30,37,100,112 | 5600,5530,6020,6090 | 6390,7090,8760,8470 +nosmpnice | 3, 2, 4, 2 | 28, 150, 294, 132 | 348, 348, 294, 347 Hackbench raw performance is down around 15% with smpnice (but that in itself isn't a huge deal because it is just a benchmark). However, the samples show that the imbalance passed into move_tasks is increased by about a factor of 10-30. I think this would also go some way to explaining latency blips turning up in the balancing code (though I haven't actually measured that). We'll probably have to revert this in the SUSE kernel.

2006-02-08[PATCH] unshare system call -v5: system call handler functionJANAK DESAI
sys_unshare system call handler function accepts the same flags as clone system call, checks constraints on each of the flags and invokes corresponding unshare functions to disassociate respective process context if it was being shared with another task. Here is the link to a program for testing unshare system call. http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/audit/unshare_test.c?download Please note that because of a problem in rmdir associated with bind mounts and clone with CLONE_NEWNS, the test fails while trying to remove temporary test directory. You can remove that temporary directory by doing rmdir, twice, from the command line. The first will fail with EBUSY, but the second will succeed. I have reported the problem to Ram Pai and Al Viro with a small program which reproduces the problem. Al told us yesterday that he will be looking at the problem soon. I have tried multiple rmdirs from the unshare_test program itself, but for some reason that is not working. Doing two rmdirs from command line does seem to remove the directory.

2006-02-05[PATCH] percpu data: only iterate over possible CPUsEric Dumazet
percpu_data blindly allocates bootmem memory to store NR_CPUS instances of cpudata, instead of allocating memory only for possible cpus. As a preparation for changing that, we need to convert various 0 -> NR_CPUS loops to use for_each_cpu().

2006-02-03[PATCH] Tell kallsyms_lookup_name() to ignore type U entriesKeith Owens
When one module exports a function symbol and another module uses that symbol then kallsyms shows the symbol twice. Once from the consumer with a type of 'U' and once from the provider with a type of 't' or 'T'. On most architectures, both entries have the same address so it does not matter which one is returned by kallsyms_lookup_name(). But on architectures with function descriptors, the 'U' entry points to the descriptor, not to the code body, which is not what we want. IA64 # grep -w qla2x00_remove_one /proc/kallsyms a000000208c25ef8 U qla2x00_remove_one [qla2300] <= descriptor a000000208bf44c0 t qla2x00_remove_one [qla2xxx] <= function body Tell kallsyms_lookup_name() to ignore type U entries in modules.

2006-02-03[PATCH] Kprobes: Fix deadlock in function-return probesAnanth N Mavinakayanahalli
When two function-return probes are inserted on kfree()[1] and the second on say, sys_link()[2], and later [2] is unregistered, we have a deadlock as kfree is called with the kretprobe_lock held and the function-return probe on kfree will also try to grab the same lock. However, we can move the kfree() during unregistration to outside the spinlock as we are sure that no instances from the free list will be used after synchronized_sched() returns during the unregistration process.

2006-02-01[PATCH] zone_reclaim: configurable off node allocation period.Christoph Lameter
Currently the zone_reclaim code has a fixed window of 30 seconds of off node allocations should a local zone have no unused pagecache pages left. Reclaim will be attempted again after this timeout period to avoid repeated useless scans for memory. This is also useful to established sufficiently large off node allocation chunks to relieve the local node. It may be beneficial to adjust that time period for some special situations. For example if memory use was exceeding node capacity one may want to give up for longer periods of time. If memory spikes intermittendly then one may want to shorten the time period to reduce the number of off node allocations. This patch allows just that....

2006-02-01[PATCH] sys_sched_getaffinity() & hotplugJack Steiner
Change sched_getaffinity() so that it returns a bitmap that indicates the legally schedulable cpus that a task is allowed to run on. Without this patch, if CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is enabled, sched_getaffinity() unconditionally returns (at least on IA64) a mask with NR_CPUS bits set. This conveys no useful infornmation except for a kernel compile option. This fixes a breakage we obseved running recent kernels. We have MPI jobs that use sched_getaffinity() to determine where to place their threads.

2006-02-01[PATCH] hrtimers: fix posix-timer requeue raceakpm@osdl.org
From: Steven Rostedtrostedt@goodmis.org <rostedt@goodmis.org> CPU0 expires a posix-timer and runs the callback function. The signal is queued. After releasing the posix-timer lock and before returning to hrtimer_run_queue CPU0 gets interrupted. CPU1 delivers the queued signal and rearms the timer. CPU0 comes back to hrtimer_run_queue and sets the timer state to expired. The next modification of the timer can result in an oops, because the state information is wrong. Keep track of state = RUNNING and check if the state has been in the return path of hrtimer_run_queue. In case the state has been changed, ignore a restart request and do not touch the state variable.

2006-01-19[PATCH] EDAC: atomic scrub operationsAlan Cox
EDAC requires a way to scrub memory if an ECC error is found and the chipset does not do the work automatically. That means rewriting memory locations atomically with respect to all CPUs _and_ bus masters. That means we can't use atomic_add(foo, 0) as it gets optimised for non-SMP This adds a function to include/asm-foo/atomic.h for the platforms currently supported which implements a scrub of a mapped block. It also adjusts a few other files include order where atomic.h is included before types.h as this now causes an error as atomic_scrub uses u32.
