[PATCH] proc: drop tasklist lock in task_state()

2006-10-02T14:57:24Z

task_state() needs tasklist_lock to protect ->parent/->real_parent. However task->parent points to nowhere only when the actions below happen in order 1) release_task(task) 2) release_task(task->parent) 3) a grace period passed But 3) implies that the memory ops from 1) should be finished, so pid_alive() can't be true in such a case. Otherwise, we don't care if ->parent/->real_parent changes under us. Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov Cc: "Eric W. Biederman" Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] proc: convert do_task_stat() to use lock_task_sighand()

2006-10-02T14:57:24Z

Drop tasklist_lock. ->siglock protects almost all interesting data (including sub-threads traversal) except: ->signal->tty protected by tty_mutex ->real_parent the task can't be unhashed while we are holding ->siglock, so ->real_parent can change from under us but we can safely dereference it under rcu_read_lock() ->pgrp/->session we can get inconsistent numbers if the task does sys_setsid/daemonize at the same time. I hope this is acceptable. Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov Cc: "Eric W. Biederman" Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] proc: convert task_sig() to use lock_task_sighand()

2006-10-02T14:57:24Z

lock_task_sighand() can take ->siglock without holding tasklist_lock. Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov Cc: "Eric W. Biederman" Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] per-task-delay-accounting: /proc export of aggregated block I/O delays

2006-07-15T04:53:57Z

Export I/O delays seen by a task through /proc//stats for use in top etc. Note that delays for I/O done for swapping in pages (swapin I/O) is clubbed together with all other I/O here (this is not the case in the netlink interface where the swapin I/O is kept distinct) [akpm@osdl.org: printk warning fix] Signed-off-by: Shailabh Nagar Signed-off-by: Balbir Singh Cc: Jes Sorensen Cc: Peter Chubb Cc: Erich Focht Cc: Levent Serinol Cc: Jay Lan Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] hrtimers: remove it_real_value calculation from proc/*/stat

2006-03-26T16:57:02Z

Remove the it_real_value from /proc/*/stat, during 1.2.x was the last time it returned useful data (as it was directly maintained by the scheduler), now it's only a waste of time to calculate it. Return 0 instead. Signed-off-by: Roman Zippel Acked-by: Ingo Molnar Acked-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] s390: cleanup Kconfig

2006-01-06T16:33:53Z

Sanitize some s390 Kconfig options. We have ARCH_S390, ARCH_S390X, ARCH_S390_31, 64BIT, S390_SUPPORT and COMPAT. Replace these 6 options by S390, 64BIT and COMPAT. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] mm: rss = file_rss + anon_rss

2005-10-30T04:40:38Z

I was lazy when we added anon_rss, and chose to change as few places as possible. So currently each anonymous page has to be counted twice, in rss and in anon_rss. Which won't be so good if those are atomic counts in some configurations. Change that around: keep file_rss and anon_rss separately, and add them together (with get_mm_rss macro) when the total is needed - reading two atomics is much cheaper than updating two atomics. And update anon_rss upfront, typically in memory.c, not tucked away in page_add_anon_rmap. Signed-off-by: Hugh Dickins Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
