| * NFS: Avoid a deadlock situation on writeTrond Myklebust2007-05-243-2/+25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When processes are allowed to attempt to lock a non-contiguous range of nfs write requests, it is possible for generic_writepages to 'wrap round' the address space, and call writepage() on a request that is already locked by the same process. We avoid the deadlock by checking if the page index is contiguous with the list of nfs write requests that is already held in our nfs_pageio_descriptor prior to attempting to lock a new request.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With irqpoll enabled, trying to test the IRQF_IRQPOLL flag in the actions would cause a NULL pointer dereference if no action was installed (for example, the driver might have been unloaded with interrupts still pending). So be a bit more careful about testing the flag by making sure to test for that case. (The actual _change_ is trivial, the patch is more than a one-liner because I rewrote the testing to also be much more readable. Original (discarded) bugfix by Bernhard Walle.

The BUG is unrelated to NOHZ, it just was made visible by the NOHZ patch. The BUG showed up mainly on P4 / hyperthreading enabled machines which lead the investigations into the wrong direction in the first place. The real cause is in cond_resched_softirq(): cond_resched_softirq() is enabling softirqs without invoking the softirq daemon when softirqs are pending. This leads to the warning message in the NOHZ idle code: t1 runs softirq disabled code on CPU#0 interrupt happens, softirq is raised, but deferred (softirqs disabled) t1 calls cond_resched_softirq() enables softirqs via _local_bh_enable() calls schedule() t2 runs t1 is migrated to CPU#1 t2 is done and invokes idle() NOHZ detects the pending softirq Fix: change _local_bh_enable() to local_bh_enable() so the softirq daemon is invoked.

* | | i2o: destroy event queue only when drv->event is setAkinobu Mita2007-05-231-2/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | i2o_driver_register() initalizes event queue for driver only when drv->event is set. So similarly the event queue should be destroyed only when drv->event is set in the error path. Otherwise destroy_workqueue() will called with NULL.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Gathering signals in bulk enables server applications to drain a signal queue (almost full of realtime signals) more efficiently by reducing the syscall and file look-up overhead. Very similar to the sigtimedwait4() call described by Niels Provos, Chuck Lever, and Stephen Tweedie in a paper entitled "Analyzing the Overload Behavior of a Simple Web Server". The paper lists more details and advantages. Signed-off-by: Davi E. M.

* | | simplify cleanup_workqueue_thread()Oleg Nesterov2007-05-231-47/+37
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | cleanup_workqueue_thread() and cwq_should_stop() are overcomplicated. Convert the code to use kthread_should_stop/kthread_stop as was suggested by Gautham and Srivatsa. In particular this patch removes the (unlikely) busy-wait loop from the exit path, it was a temporary and ugly kludge (if not a bug). Note: the current code was designed to solve another old problem: work->func can't share locks with hotplug callbacks. I think this could be done, see http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=116905366428633 but this needs some more complications to preserve CPU affinity of cwq->thread during cpu_up(). A freezer-based hotplug looks more appealing.
