* [PATCH] revert "kthread: convert stop_machine into a kthread"Andrew Morton2006-07-031-11/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Jiri reports that the stop_machin kthread conversion caused his machine to hang when suspending. Hyperthreading is apparently involved. I don't see why that would be and I can't reproduce it. Revert to the 2.6.17 code. Cc: "Serge E.

* | [PATCH] lockdep: irqtrace subsystem, move account_system_vtime() calls into ↵Paul Mackerras2006-07-031-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | kernel/softirq.c At the moment, powerpc and s390 have their own versions of do_softirq which include local_bh_disable() and __local_bh_enable() calls. They end up calling __do_softirq (in kernel/softirq.c) which also does local_bh_disable/enable. Apparently the two levels of disable/enable trigger a warning from some validation code that Ingo is working on, and he would like to see the outer level removed. But to do that, we have to move the account_system_vtime calls that are currently in the arch do_softirq() implementations for powerpc and s390 into the generic __do_softirq() (this is a no-op for other archs because account_system_vtime is defined to be an empty inline function on all other archs). This patch does that.

* | [PATCH] lockdep: allow read_lock() recursion of same classIngo Molnar2006-07-031-3/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> lockdep so far only allowed read-recursion for the same lock instance. This is enough in the overwhelming majority of cases, but a hostap case triggered and reported by Miles Lane relies on same-class different-instance recursion. So we relax the restriction on read-lock recursion. (This change does not allow rwsem read-recursion, which is still forbidden.)

Typically if the lock validator finds some problem it will print out voluminous debug output that begins with "BUG: ..." and which syslog output can be used by kernel developers to figure out the precise locking scenario. What does the lock validator do? It "observes" and maps all locking rules as they occur dynamically (as triggered by the kernel's natural use of spinlocks, rwlocks, mutexes and rwsems). Whenever the lock validator subsystem detects a new locking scenario, it validates this new rule against the existing set of rules. If this new rule is consistent with the existing set of rules then the new rule is added transparently and the kernel continues as normal. If the new rule could create a deadlock scenario then this condition is printed out. When determining validity of locking, all possible "deadlock scenarios" are considered: assuming arbitrary number of CPUs, arbitrary irq context and task context constellations, running arbitrary combinations of all the existing locking scenarios. In a typical system this means millions of separate scenarios. This is why we call it a "locking correctness" validator - for all rules that are observed the lock validator proves it with mathematical certainty that a deadlock could not occur (assuming that the lock validator implementation itself is correct and its internal data structures are not corrupted by some other kernel subsystem). [see more details and conditionals of this statement in include/linux/lockdep.h and Documentation/lockdep-design.txt] Furthermore, this "all possible scenarios" property of the validator also enables the finding of complex, highly unlikely multi-CPU multi-context races via single single-context rules, increasing the likelyhood of finding bugs drastically. In practical terms: the lock validator already found a bug in the upstream kernel that could only occur on systems with 3 or more CPUs, and which needed 3 very unlikely code sequences to occur at once on the 3 CPUs. That bug was found and reported on a single-CPU system (!). So in essence a race will be found "piecemail-wise", triggering all the necessary components for the race, without having to reproduce the race scenario itself! In its short existence the lock validator found and reported many bugs before they actually caused a real deadlock. To further increase the efficiency of the validator, the mapping is not per "lock instance", but per "lock-class". For example, all struct inode objects in the kernel have inode->inotify_mutex. If there are 10,000 inodes cached, then there are 10,000 lock objects. But ->inotify_mutex is a single "lock type", and all locking activities that occur against ->inotify_mutex are "unified" into this single lock-class. The advantage of the lock-class approach is that all historical ->inotify_mutex uses are mapped into a single (and as narrow as possible) set of locking rules - regardless of how many different tasks or inode structures it took to build this set of rules. The set of rules persist during the lifetime of the kernel. To see the rough magnitude of checking that the lock validator does, here's a portion of /proc/lockdep_stats, fresh after bootup: lock-classes: 694 [max: 2048] direct dependencies: 1598 [max: 8192] indirect dependencies: 17896 all direct dependencies: 16206 dependency chains: 1910 [max: 8192] in-hardirq chains: 17 in-softirq chains: 105 in-process chains: 1065 stack-trace entries: 38761 [max: 131072] combined max dependencies: 2033928 hardirq-safe locks: 24 hardirq-unsafe locks: 176 softirq-safe locks: 53 softirq-unsafe locks: 137 irq-safe locks: 59 irq-unsafe locks: 176 The lock validator has observed 1598 actual single-thread locking patterns, and has validated all possible 2033928 distinct locking scenarios.

There's no separate 'held mutexes' list anymore - but there's a 'held locks' stack within lockdep, which unifies deadlock detection across all lock classes.

* | [PATCH] ZVC/zone_reclaim: Leave 1% of unmapped pagecache pages for file I/OChristoph Lameter2006-07-031-0/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It turns out that it is advantageous to leave a small portion of unmapped file backed pages if all of a zone's pages (or almost all pages) are allocated and so the page allocator has to go off-node. This allows recently used file I/O buffers to stay on the node and reduces the times that zone reclaim is invoked if file I/O occurs when we run out of memory in a zone. The problem is that zone reclaim runs too frequently when the page cache is used for file I/O (read write and therefore unmapped pages!) alone and we have almost all pages of the zone allocated. Zone reclaim may remove 32 unmapped pages. File I/O will use these pages for the next read/write requests and the unmapped pages increase. After the zone has filled up again zone reclaim will remove it again after only 32 pages. This cycle is too inefficient and there are potentially too many zone reclaim cycles. With the 1% boundary we may still remove all unmapped pages for file I/O in zone reclaim pass. However. it will take a large number of read and writes to get back to 1% again where we trigger zone reclaim again. The zone reclaim 2.6.16/17 does not show this behavior because we have a 30 second timeout.

| * | [PATCH] add rule filterkeyAmy Griffis2006-07-013-36/+75
| |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add support for a rule key, which can be used to tie audit records to audit rules. This is useful when a watched file is accessed through a link or symlink, as well as for general audit log analysis. Because this patch uses a string key instead of an integer key, there is a bit of extra overhead to do the kstrdup() when a rule fires. However, we're also allocating memory for the audit record buffer, so it's probably not that significant. I went ahead with a string key because it seems more user-friendly. Note that the user must ensure that filterkeys are unique. The kernel only checks for duplicate rules. Signed-off-by: Amy Griffis <amy.griffis@hpd.com>

|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | lock_queue was getting called essentially twice in a row and was continually incrementing the mm_count ref count, thus causing a memory leak. Dinakar Guniguntala provided a proper fix for the problem that simply grabs the spinlock for the hash bucket queue rather than calling lock_queue. The second time we do a queue_lock in futex_lock_pi, we really only need to take the hash bucket lock.
