* softlockup: add a /proc tuning parameterRavikiran G Thirumalai2007-10-171-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Control the trigger limit for softlockup warnings. This is useful for debugging softlockups, by lowering the softlockup_thresh to identify possible softlockups earlier. This patch: 1. Adds a sysctl softlockup_thresh with valid values of 1-60s (Higher value to disable false positives) 2. Changes the softlockup printk to print the cpu softlockup time [akpm@linux-foundation.org: Fix various warnings and add definition of "two"] Signed-off-by: Ravikiran Thirumalai <kiran@scalex86.org> Signed-off-by: Shai Fultheim <shai@scalex86.org> Acked-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
* Immunize rcu_dereference() against crazy compiler writersPaul E. McKenney2007-10-171-1/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Turns out that compiler writers are a bit more aggressive about optimizing than one might expect. This patch prevents a number of such optimizations from messing up rcu_deference(). This is not merely a theoretical problem, as evidenced by the rmb() in mce_log(). Signed-off-by: Paul E.

* Use list_head in binfmt handlingAlexey Dobriyan2007-10-171-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Switch single-linked binfmt formats list to usual list_head's. This leads to one-liners in register_binfmt() and unregister_binfmt(). The downside is one pointer more in struct linux_binfmt. This is not a problem, since the set of registered binfmts on typical box is very small -- (ELF + something distro enabled for you).

* mm: test and set zone reclaim lock before starting reclaimDavid Rientjes2007-10-171-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Introduces new zone flag interface for testing and setting flags: int zone_test_and_set_flag(struct zone *zone, zone_flags_t flag) Instead of setting and clearing ZONE_RECLAIM_LOCKED each time shrink_zone() is called, this flag is test and set before starting zone reclaim. Zone reclaim starts in __alloc_pages() when a zone's watermark fails and the system is in zone_reclaim_mode. If it's already in reclaim, there's no need to start again so it is simply considered full for that allocation attempt. There is a change of behavior with regard to concurrent zone shrinking. It is now possible for try_to_free_pages() or kswapd to already be shrinking a particular zone when __alloc_pages() starts zone reclaim. In this case, it is possible for two concurrent threads to invoke shrink_zone() for a single zone. This change forbids a zone to be in zone reclaim twice, which was always the behavior, but allows for concurrent try_to_free_pages() or kswapd shrinking when starting zone reclaim.

* oom: compare cpuset mems_allowed instead of exclusive ancestorsDavid Rientjes2007-10-171-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Instead of testing for overlap in the memory nodes of the the nearest exclusive ancestor of both current and the candidate task, it is better to simply test for intersection between the task's mems_allowed in their task descriptors. This does not require taking callback_mutex since it is only used as a hint in the badness scoring. Tasks that do not have an intersection in their mems_allowed with the current task are not explicitly restricted from being OOM killed because it is quite possible that the candidate task has allocated memory there before and has since changed its mems_allowed.

* oom: add per-zone lockingDavid Rientjes2007-10-172-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | OOM killer synchronization should be done with zone granularity so that memory policy and cpuset allocations may have their corresponding zones locked and allow parallel kills for other OOM conditions that may exist elsewhere in the system. DMA allocations can be targeted at the zone level, which would not be possible if locking was done in nodes or globally. Synchronization shall be done with a variation of "trylocks." The goal is to put the current task to sleep and restart the failed allocation attempt later if the trylock fails. Otherwise, the OOM killer is invoked. Each zone in the zonelist that __alloc_pages() was called with is checked for the newly-introduced ZONE_OOM_LOCKED flag. If any zone has this flag present, the "trylock" to serialize the OOM killer fails and returns zero. Otherwise, all the zones have ZONE_OOM_LOCKED set and the try_set_zone_oom() function returns non-zero.

* oom: change all_unreclaimable zone member to flagsDavid Rientjes2007-10-171-4/+25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Convert the int all_unreclaimable member of struct zone to unsigned long flags. This can now be used to specify several different zone flags such as all_unreclaimable and reclaim_in_progress, which can now be removed and converted to a per-zone flag. Flags are set and cleared as follows: zone_set_flag(struct zone *zone, zone_flags_t flag) zone_clear_flag(struct zone *zone, zone_flags_t flag) Defines the first zone flags, ZONE_ALL_UNRECLAIMABLE and ZONE_RECLAIM_LOCKED, which have the same semantics as the old zone->all_unreclaimable and zone->reclaim_in_progress, respectively. Also converts all current users that set or clear either flag to use the new interface. Helper functions are defined to test the flags: int zone_is_all_unreclaimable(const struct zone *zone) int zone_is_reclaim_locked(const struct zone *zone) All flag operators are of the atomic variety because there are currently readers that are implemented that do not take zone->lock.

* mm: dirty balancing for tasksPeter Zijlstra2007-10-172-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Based on ideas of Andrew: http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=102912915020543&w=2 Scale the bdi dirty limit inversly with the tasks dirty rate. This makes heavy writers have a lower dirty limit than the occasional writer. Andrea proposed something similar: http://lwn.net/Articles/152277/ The main disadvantage to his patch is that he uses an unrelated quantity to measure time, which leaves him with a workload dependant tunable. Other than that the two approaches appear quite similar.

* mm: per device dirty thresholdPeter Zijlstra2007-10-172-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Scale writeback cache per backing device, proportional to its writeout speed. By decoupling the BDI dirty thresholds a number of problems we currently have will go away, namely: - mutual interference starvation (for any number of BDIs); - deadlocks with stacked BDIs (loop, FUSE and local NFS mounts). It might be that all dirty pages are for a single BDI while other BDIs are idling. By giving each BDI a 'fair' share of the dirty limit, each one can have dirty pages outstanding and make progress. A global threshold also creates a deadlock for stacked BDIs; when A writes to B, and A generates enough dirty pages to get throttled, B will never start writeback until the dirty pages go away. Again, by giving each BDI its own 'independent' dirty limit, this problem is avoided. So the problem is to determine how to distribute the total dirty limit across the BDIs fairly and efficiently. A DBI that has a large dirty limit but does not have any dirty pages outstanding is a waste. What is done is to keep a floating proportion between the DBIs based on writeback completions. This way faster/more active devices get a larger share than slower/idle devices.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Given a set of objects, floating proportions aims to efficiently give the proportional 'activity' of a single item as compared to the whole set. Where 'activity' is a measure of a temporal property of the items. It is efficient in that it need not inspect any other items of the set in order to provide the answer. It is not even needed to know how many other items there are. It has one parameter, and that is the period of 'time' over which the 'activity' is measured.

* nfs: remove congestion_end()Peter Zijlstra2007-10-171-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | These patches aim to improve balance_dirty_pages() and directly address three issues: 1) inter device starvation 2) stacked device deadlocks 3) inter process starvation 1 and 2 are a direct result from removing the global dirty limit and using per device dirty limits. By giving each device its own dirty limit is will no longer starve another device, and the cyclic dependancy on the dirty limit is broken. In order to efficiently distribute the dirty limit across the independant devices a floating proportion is used, this will allocate a share of the total limit proportional to the device's recent activity. 3 is done by also scaling the dirty limit proportional to the current task's recent dirty rate. This patch: nfs: remove congestion_end(). It's redundant, clear_bdi_congested() already wakes the waiters.

Set it in cs5520 host driver. * Teach ide_tune_dma() about IDE_HFLAG_TRUST_BIOS_FOR_DMA flag. * Add generic ide_dma_check() helper and remove all open coded ->ide_dma_check implementations. Fix all places checking for presence of ->ide_dma_check hook to check for ->ide_dma_on instead. * Remove no longer needed code from config_drive_for_dma(). * Make ide_tune_dma() static. v2: * Fix config_drive_for_dma() return values. * Fix ide-dma.c build for CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDMA_PCI=n by adding dummy config_drive_for_dma() inline. * Fix IDE_HFLAG_TRUST_BIOS_FOR_DMA handling in ide_dma_check(). * Fix init_hwif_it8213() comment.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Remove ide_use_fast_pio() and just re-tune PIO unconditionally if DMA tuning has failed in ->ide_dma_check. All host drivers using ide_use_fast_pio() set drive->autotune so PIO is always tuned anyway and in some cases we _really_ need to re-tune PIO because PIO and DMA timings are shared.

| |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It reduces the selinux overhead on read/write by only revalidating permissions in selinux_file_permission if the task or inode labels have changed or the policy has changed since the open-time check. A new LSM hook, security_dentry_open, is added to capture the necessary state at open time to allow this optimization.

The driver also requires a SPI to setup the registers and control volume. It has been tested with an AT32AP7000 on the ATSTK1000 development board. The driver should also work with any Atmel device with an SSC module supported by the Atmel SSC driver (atmel-ssc). The atmel-ssc driver is just submitted to the Linux kernel.
