| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is a problem in hibernate_preallocate_memory() that it calls preallocate_image_memory() with an argument that may be greater than the total number of available non-highmem memory pages. If that's the case, the OOM condition is guaranteed to trigger, which in turn can cause significant slowdown to occur during hibernation. To avoid that, make preallocate_image_memory() adjust its argument before calling preallocate_image_pages(), so that the total number of saveable non-highem pages left is not less than the minimum size of a hibernation image. Change hibernate_preallocate_memory() to try to allocate from highmem if the number of pages allocated by preallocate_image_memory() is too low. Modify free_unnecessary_pages() to take all possible memory allocation patterns into account. Reported-by: KOSAKI Motohiro <kosaki.motohiro@jp.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

The way this file currently works is that it is a state machine, and as you read it, it may change state. But this assumption breaks when you use lseek() on the file. The state machine gets out of sync and the t_show() may use the wrong pointer and cause a kernel oops. Luckily, this will only kill the app that does the lseek, but the app dies while holding a mutex. This prevents anyone else from using the set_ftrace_filter file (or any other function tracing file for that matter). A real fix for this is to rewrite the code, but that is too much for a -rc release or stable. This patch simply disables llseek on the set_ftrace_filter() file for now, and we can do the proper fix for the next major release.

It complicated matters by adding a second swap allocation path, just for hibernation; without in any way fixing the issue that it was intended to address - page reclaim after fixing the hibernation image might free swap from a page already imaged as swapcache, letting its swap be reallocated to store a different page of the image: resulting in data corruption if the imaged page were freed as clean then swapped back in. Pages freed to si->swap_map were still in danger of being reallocated by the alternative allocation path. I guess it inadvertently fixed slow SSD swap allocation for hibernation, as reported by Nigel Cunningham: by missing out the discards that occur on the usual swap allocation path; but that was unintentional, and needs a separate fix.

This patch adds a more generic cgroup_attach_task_all() API that allows both the source task and to-be-moved task to be specified. cgroup_attach_task_current_cg() becomes a specialization of the more generic new function.

* | | gcov: fix null-pointer dereference for certain module typesPeter Oberparleiter2010-09-091-64/+180
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The gcov-kernel infrastructure expects that each object file is loaded only once. This may not be true, e.g. when loading multiple kernel modules which are linked to the same object file. As a result, loading such kernel modules will result in incorrect gcov results while unloading will cause a null-pointer dereference. This patch fixes these problems by changing the gcov-kernel infrastructure so that multiple profiling data sets can be associated with one debugfs entry. It applies to 2.6.36-rc1.

The time enabled was reported as a negative value. This patch fixes the problem by updating tstamp_stopped, tstamp_running in event_sched_out() for events with filters and which are marked as INACTIVE. The function group_sched_out() is modified to systematically call into event_sched_out() to avoid duplicating the timing adjustment code twice. With the patch, I now get: $ task_cpu -i -e unhalted_core_cycles,unhalted_core_cycles noploop 2 noploop for 2 seconds CPU0 0 unhalted_core_cycles (ena=1,991,136,594, run=0) CPU0 0 unhalted_core_cycles (ena=1,991,136,594, run=0) CPU1 0 unhalted_core_cycles (ena=1,991,136,594, run=0) CPU1 0 unhalted_core_cycles (ena=1,991,136,594, run=0) CPU2 0 unhalted_core_cycles (ena=1,991,136,594, run=0) CPU2 0 unhalted_core_cycles (ena=1,991,136,594, run=0) CPU3 4,747,990,931 unhalted_core_cycles (ena=1,991,136,594, run=1,991,136,594) CPU3 4,747,990,931 unhalted_core_cycles (ena=1,991,136,594, run=1,991,136,594) Signed-off-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@gmail.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: paulus@samba.org Cc: davem@davemloft.net Cc: fweisbec@gmail.com Cc: perfmon2-devel@lists.sf.net Cc: eranian@google.com LKML-Reference: <4c76802d.aae9d80a.115d.70fe@mx.google.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

This is used to implement the max_active limit and workqueue freezing. If a work item is queued after nr_active has already reached max_active, the work item doesn't increment nr_active and is put on the delayed queue and gets activated later as previous active work items retire. try_to_grab_pending() which is used in the cancellation path unconditionally decremented nr_active whether the work item being cancelled is currently active or delayed, so cancelling a delayed work item makes nr_active underflow. This breaks max_active enforcement and triggers BUG_ON() in destroy_workqueue() later on. This patch fixes this bug by adding a flag WORK_STRUCT_DELAYED, which is set while a work item in on the delayed list and making try_to_grab_pending() decrement nr_active iff the work item is currently active. The addition of the flag enlarges cwq alignment to 256 bytes which is getting a bit too large. It's scheduled to be reduced back to 128 bytes by merging WORK_STRUCT_PENDING and WORK_STRUCT_CWQ in the next devel cycle.

Unfortunately, BUG_ON() doesn't tell much about how the work became pending after the final flush_workqueue(). This patch adds WQ_DYING which is set before the final flush begins. If a work is requested to be queued on a dying workqueue, WARN_ON_ONCE() is triggered and the request is ignored. This clearly indicates which caller is trying to queue a work on a dying workqueue and keeps the system working in most cases. Locking rule comment is updated such that the 'I' rule includes modifying the field from destruction path. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

It is found on a 8 node 64 core Nehalem-EX system (HT mode). The intention of the optimistic mutex spin is to busy wait and spin on a mutex if the owner of the mutex is running, in the hope that the mutex will be released soon and be acquired, without the thread trying to acquire mutex going to sleep. However, when we have a large number of threads, contending for the mutex, we could have the mutex grabbed by other thread, and then another ……, and we will keep spinning, wasting cpu cycles and adding to the contention. One possible fix is to quit spinning and put the current thread on wait-list if mutex lock switch to a new owner while we spin, indicating heavy contention (see the patch included). I did some testing on a 8 socket Nehalem-EX system with a total of 64 cores. Using Ingo's test-mutex program that creates/delete files with 256 threads (http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/1/8/50) , I see the following speed up after putting in the mutex spin fix: ./mutex-test V 256 10 Ops/sec 2.6.34 62864 With fix 197200 Repeating the test with Aim7 fserver workload, again there is a speed up with the fix: Jobs/min 2.6.34 91657 With fix 149325 To look at the impact on the distribution of mutex acquisition time, I collected the mutex acquisition time on Aim7 fserver workload with some instrumentation. The average acquisition time is reduced by 48% and number of contentions reduced by 32%. #contentions Time to acquire mutex (cycles) 2.6.34 72973 44765791 With fix 49210 23067129 The histogram of mutex acquisition time is listed below. The acquisition time is in 2^bin cycles. We see that without the fix, the acquisition time is mostly around 2^26 cycles. With the fix, we the distribution get spread out a lot more towards the lower cycles, starting from 2^13. However, there is an increase of the tail distribution with the fix at 2^28 and 2^29 cycles. It seems a small price to pay for the reduced average acquisition time and also getting the cpu to do useful work. Mutex acquisition time distribution (acq time = 2^bin cycles): 2.6.34 With Fix bin #occurrence % #occurrence % 11 2 0.00% 120 0.24% 12 10 0.01% 790 1.61% 13 14 0.02% 2058 4.18% 14 86 0.12% 3378 6.86% 15 393 0.54% 4831 9.82% 16 710 0.97% 4893 9.94% 17 815 1.12% 4667 9.48% 18 790 1.08% 5147 10.46% 19 580 0.80% 6250 12.70% 20 429 0.59% 6870 13.96% 21 311 0.43% 1809 3.68% 22 255 0.35% 2305 4.68% 23 317 0.44% 916 1.86% 24 610 0.84% 233 0.47% 25 3128 4.29% 95 0.19% 26 63902 87.69% 122 0.25% 27 619 0.85% 286 0.58% 28 0 0.00% 3536 7.19% 29 0 0.00% 903 1.83% 30 0 0.00% 0 0.00% I've done similar experiments with 2.6.35 kernel on smaller boxes as well. One is on a dual-socket Westmere box (12 cores total, with HT). Another experiment is on an old dual-socket Core 2 box (4 cores total, no HT) On the 12-core Westmere box, I see a 250% increase for Ingo's mutex-test program with my mutex patch but no significant difference in aim7's fserver workload. On the 4-core Core 2 box, I see the difference with the patch for both mutex-test and aim7 fserver are negligible. So far, it seems like the patch has not caused regression on smaller systems.

The result is that PowerTOP now reports a lot of "kworker/a:b" instead of more readable results. This patch adds a pair of tracepoints to the new workqueue code, similar in style to the timer/hrtimer tracepoints. With this pair of tracepoints, the next PowerTOP can correctly report which work item caused the wakeup (and how long it took): Interrupt (43) i915 time 3.51ms wakeups 141 Work ieee80211_iface_work time 0.81ms wakeups 29 Work do_dbs_timer time 0.55ms wakeups 24 Process Xorg time 21.36ms wakeups 4 Timer sched_rt_period_timer time 0.01ms wakeups 1 Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
* | | | mm: make the vma list be doubly linkedLinus Torvalds2010-08-211-2/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It's a really simple list, and several of the users want to go backwards in it to find the previous vma. So rather than have to look up the previous entry with 'find_vma_prev()' or something similar, just make it doubly linked instead.
