2009-11-26sched: Introduce task_times() to replace task_{u,s}time() pairHidetoshi Seto
Functions task_{u,s}time() are called in pair in almost all cases. However task_stime() is implemented to call task_utime() from its inside, so such paired calls run task_utime() twice. It means we do heavy divisions (div_u64 + do_div) twice to get utime and stime which can be obtained at same time by one set of divisions. This patch introduces a function task_times(*tsk, *utime, *stime) to retrieve utime and stime at once in better, optimized way.

2009-11-25sched.c: Call debug_show_all_locks() when dumping all tasksShmulik Ladkani
In commit v2.6.21-691-g39bc89f ("make SysRq-T show all tasks again") the interface of show_state_filter() was changed: zero valued 'state_filter' specifies "dump all tasks" (instead of -1). However, the condition for calling debug_show_all_locks() ("show locks if all tasks are dumped") was not updated accordingly.

Heiko reported a case where a timer interrupt managed to reference a root_domain structure that was already freed by a concurrent hot-un-plug operation. Solve this like the regular sched_domain stuff is also synchronized, by adding a synchronize_sched() stmt to the free path, this ensures that a root_domain stays present for any atomic section that could have observed it.

2009-11-15sched, kvm: Fix race condition involving sched_in_preempt_notifersTejun Heo
In finish_task_switch(), fire_sched_in_preempt_notifiers() is called after finish_lock_switch(). However, depending on architecture, preemption can be enabled after finish_lock_switch() which breaks the semantics of preempt notifiers. So move it before finish_arch_switch(). This also makes the in- notifiers symmetric to out- notifiers in terms of locking - now both are called under rq lock.

2009-11-12sched: Fix granularity of task_u/stime()Hidetoshi Seto
Originally task_s/utime() were designed to return clock_t but later changed to return cputime_t by following commit: commit efe567fc8281661524ffa75477a7c4ca9b466c63 Author: Christian Borntraeger <borntraeger@de.ibm.com> Date: Thu Aug 23 15:18:02 2007 +0200 It only changed the type of return value, but not the implementation. As the result the granularity of task_s/utime() is still that of clock_t, not that of cputime_t. So using task_s/utime() in __exit_signal() makes values accumulated to the signal struct to be rounded and coarse grained. This patch removes casts to clock_t in task_u/stime(), to keep granularity of cputime_t over the calculation. v2: Use div_u64() to avoid error "undefined reference to `__udivdi3`" on some 32bit systems.

From the code in rt_mutex_setprio(), it is evident that the intention is that task's with a RT 'prio' value as a consequence of receiving a PI boost also have their 'sched_class' field set to '&rt_sched_class'.

2009-11-04cpumask: Partition_sched_domains takes array of cpumask_var_tRusty Russell
Currently partition_sched_domains() takes a 'struct cpumask *doms_new' which is a kmalloc'ed array of cpumask_t. You can't have such an array if 'struct cpumask' is undefined, as we plan for CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y. So, we make this an array of cpumask_var_t instead: this is the same for the CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=n case, but requires multiple allocations for the CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y case. Hence we add alloc_sched_domains() and free_sched_domains() functions.

2009-11-03Correct nr_processes() when CPUs have been unpluggedIan Campbell
nr_processes() returns the sum of the per cpu counter process_counts for all online CPUs. This counter is incremented for the current CPU on fork() and decremented for the current CPU on exit(). Since a process does not necessarily fork and exit on the same CPU the process_count for an individual CPU can be either positive or negative and effectively has no meaning in isolation. Therefore calculating the sum of process_counts over only the online CPUs omits the processes which were started or stopped on any CPU which has since been unplugged. Only the sum of process_counts across all possible CPUs has meaning. The only caller of nr_processes() is proc_root_getattr() which calculates the number of links to /proc as stat->nlink = proc_root.nlink + nr_processes(); You don't have to be all that unlucky for the nr_processes() to return a negative value leading to a negative number of links (or rather, an apparently enormous number of links). If this happens then you can get failures where things like "ls /proc" start to fail because they got an -EOVERFLOW from some stat() call. Example with some debugging inserted to show what goes on: # ps haux|wc -l nr_processes: CPU0: 90 nr_processes: CPU1: 1030 nr_processes: CPU2: -900 nr_processes: CPU3: -136 nr_processes: TOTAL: 84 proc_root_getattr. nlink 12 + nr_processes() 84 = 96 84 # echo 0 >/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online # ps haux|wc -l nr_processes: CPU0: 85 nr_processes: CPU2: -901 nr_processes: CPU3: -137 nr_processes: TOTAL: -953 proc_root_getattr. nlink 12 + nr_processes() -953 = -941 75 # stat /proc/ nr_processes: CPU0: 84 nr_processes: CPU2: -901 nr_processes: CPU3: -137 nr_processes: TOTAL: -954 proc_root_getattr. nlink 12 + nr_processes() -954 = -942 File: `/proc/' Size: 0 Blocks: 0 IO Block: 1024 directory Device: 3h/3d Inode: 1 Links: 4294966354 Access: (0555/dr-xr-xr-x) Uid: ( 0/ root) Gid: ( 0/ root) Access: 2009-11-03 09:06:55.000000000 +0000 Modify: 2009-11-03 09:06:55.000000000 +0000 Change: 2009-11-03 09:06:55.000000000 +0000 I'm not 100% convinced that the per_cpu regions remain valid for offline CPUs, although my testing suggests that they do. If not then I think the correct solution would be to aggregate the process_count for a given CPU into a global base value in cpu_down(). This bug appears to pre-date the transition to git and it looks like it may even have been present in linux-2.6.0-test7-bk3 since it looks like the code Rusty patched in http://lwn.net/Articles/64773/ was already wrong.

2009-11-03PM / Hibernate: Fix error handling in save_image()Jiri Slaby
There are too many retval variables in save_image(). Thus error return value from snapshot_read_next() may be ignored and only part of the snapshot (successfully) written. Remove 'error' variable, invert the condition in the do-while loop and convert the loop to use only 'ret' variable. Switch the rest of the function to consider only 'ret'. Also make sure we end printed line by \n if an error occurs. Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby <jirislaby@gmail.com> Acked-by: Pavel Machek <pavel@ucw.cz> Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl>
2009-11-03PM / Hibernate: Fix blkdev refleaksJiri Slaby
While cruising through the swsusp code I found few blkdev reference leaks of resume_bdev. swsusp_read: remove blkdev_put altogether. Some fail paths do not do that. swsusp_check: make sure we always put a reference on fail paths software_resume: all fail paths between swsusp_check and swsusp_read omit swsusp_close. Add it in those cases. And since swsusp_read doesn't drop the reference anymore, do it here unconditionally.

2009-11-02rcu: Fix long-grace-period race between forcing and initializationPaul E. McKenney
Very long RCU read-side critical sections (50 milliseconds or so) can cause a race between force_quiescent_state() and rcu_start_gp() as follows on kernel builds with multi-level rcu_node hierarchies: 1. CPU 0 calls force_quiescent_state(), sees that there is a grace period in progress, and acquires ->fsqlock. 2. CPU 1 detects the end of the grace period, and so cpu_quiet_msk_finish() sets rsp->completed to rsp->gpnum. This operation is carried out under the root rnp->lock, but CPU 0 has not yet acquired that lock. Note that rsp->signaled is still RCU_SAVE_DYNTICK from the last grace period. 3. CPU 1 calls rcu_start_gp(), but no one wants a new grace period, so it drops the root rnp->lock and returns. 4. CPU 0 acquires the root rnp->lock and picks up rsp->completed and rsp->signaled, then drops rnp->lock. It then enters the RCU_SAVE_DYNTICK leg of the switch statement. 5. CPU 2 invokes call_rcu(), and now needs a new grace period. It calls rcu_start_gp(), which acquires the root rnp->lock, sets rsp->signaled to RCU_GP_INIT (too bad that CPU 0 is already in the RCU_SAVE_DYNTICK leg of the switch statement!) and starts initializing the rcu_node hierarchy. If there are multiple levels to the hierarchy, it will drop the root rnp->lock and initialize the lower levels of the hierarchy. 6. CPU 0 notes that rsp->completed has not changed, which permits both CPU 2 and CPU 0 to try updating it concurrently. If CPU 0's update prevails, later calls to force_quiescent_state() can count old quiescent states against the new grace period, which can in turn result in premature ending of grace periods. Not good. This patch adds an RCU_GP_IDLE state for rsp->signaled that is set initially at boot time and any time a grace period ends. This prevents CPU 0 from getting into the workings of force_quiescent_state() in step 4. Additional locking and checks prevent the concurrent update of rsp->signaled in step 6. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

If CONFIG_USER_SCHED=y the user management code uses delayed work to remove the user from the hash table and tear down the sysfs objects. free_uid is called from RCU and initializes/schedules delayed work if the usage count of the user_struct is 0. The init/schedule happens outside of the uidhash_lock protected region which allows a concurrent caller of find_user() to reference the about to be destroyed user_struct w/o preventing the work from being scheduled. If the next free_uid call happens before the work timer expired then the active timer is initialized and the work scheduled again. The race was introduced in commit 5cb350ba (sched: group scheduling, sysfs tunables) and made more prominent by commit 3959214f (sched: delayed cleanup of user_struct) Move the init/schedule_delayed_work inside of the uidhash_lock protected region to prevent the race.
