2009-12-04block: Fix io_context leak after failure of clone with CLONE_IOLouis Rilling2-2/+3
With CLONE_IO, parent's io_context->nr_tasks is incremented, but never decremented whenever copy_process() fails afterwards, which prevents exit_io_context() from calling IO schedulers exit functions. Give a task_struct to exit_io_context(), and call exit_io_context() instead of put_io_context() in copy_process() cleanup path.

Enable a fourth level of rcu_node hierarchy for TREE_RCU and TREE_PREEMPT_RCU. This is for stress-testing and experiemental purposes only, although in theory this would enable 16,777,216 CPUs on 64-bit systems, though only 1,048,576 CPUs on 32-bit systems. Normal experimental use of this fourth level will normally set CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT=2, requiring a 16-CPU system, though the more adventurous (and more fortunate) experimenters may wish to chose CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT=3 for 81-CPU systems or even CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT=4 for 256-CPU systems.

2009-12-03rcu: Rename "quiet" functionsPaul E. McKenney3-36/+45
The number of "quiet" functions has grown recently, and the names are no longer very descriptive. The point of all of these functions is to do some portion of the task of reporting a quiescent state, so rename them accordingly: o cpu_quiet() becomes rcu_report_qs_rdp(), which reports a quiescent state to the per-CPU rcu_data structure. If this turns out to be a new quiescent state for this grace period, then rcu_report_qs_rnp() will be invoked to propagate the quiescent state up the rcu_node hierarchy. o cpu_quiet_msk() becomes rcu_report_qs_rnp(), which reports a quiescent state for a given CPU (or possibly a set of CPUs) up the rcu_node hierarchy. o cpu_quiet_msk_finish() becomes rcu_report_qs_rsp(), which reports a full set of quiescent states to the global rcu_state structure. o task_quiet() becomes rcu_report_unblock_qs_rnp(), which reports a quiescent state due to a task exiting an RCU read-side critical section that had previously blocked in that same critical section. As indicated by the new name, this type of quiescent state is reported up the rcu_node hierarchy (using rcu_report_qs_rnp() to do so). Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2009-12-02modules: don't export section names of empty sections via sysfsHelge Deller1-1/+4
On the parisc architecture we face for each and every loaded kernel module this kernel "badness warning": sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/module/ac97_bus/sections/.text' Badness at fs/sysfs/dir.c:487 Reason for that is, that on parisc all kernel modules do have multiple .text sections due to the usage of the -ffunction-sections compiler flag which is needed to reach all jump targets on this platform. An objdump on such a kernel module gives: Sections: Idx Name Size VMA LMA File off Algn 0 .note.gnu.build-id 00000024 00000000 00000000 00000034 2**2 CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, DATA 1 .text 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000058 2**0 CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, CODE 2 .text.ac97_bus_match 0000001c 00000000 00000000 00000058 2**2 CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, CODE 3 .text 00000000 00000000 00000000 000000d4 2**0 CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, CODE ... Since the .text sections are empty (size of 0 bytes) and won't be loaded by the kernel module loader anyway, I don't see a reason why such sections need to be listed under /sys/module/<module_name>/sections/<section_name> either. The attached patch does solve this issue by not exporting section names which are empty.

2009-12-02sched, cputime: Introduce thread_group_times()Hidetoshi Seto4-21/+64
This is a real fix for problem of utime/stime values decreasing described in the thread: http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/11/3/522 Now cputime is accounted in the following way: - {u,s}time in task_struct are increased every time when the thread is interrupted by a tick (timer interrupt). - When a thread exits, its {u,s}time are added to signal->{u,s}time, after adjusted by task_times(). - When all threads in a thread_group exits, accumulated {u,s}time (and also c{u,s}time) in signal struct are added to c{u,s}time in signal struct of the group's parent. So {u,s}time in task struct are "raw" tick count, while {u,s}time and c{u,s}time in signal struct are "adjusted" values. And accounted values are used by: - task_times(), to get cputime of a thread: This function returns adjusted values that originates from raw {u,s}time and scaled by sum_exec_runtime that accounted by CFS. - thread_group_cputime(), to get cputime of a thread group: This function returns sum of all {u,s}time of living threads in the group, plus {u,s}time in the signal struct that is sum of adjusted cputimes of all exited threads belonged to the group. The problem is the return value of thread_group_cputime(), because it is mixed sum of "raw" value and "adjusted" value: group's {u,s}time = foreach(thread){{u,s}time} + exited({u,s}time) This misbehavior can break {u,s}time monotonicity. Assume that if there is a thread that have raw values greater than adjusted values (e.g. interrupted by 1000Hz ticks 50 times but only runs 45ms) and if it exits, cputime will decrease (e.g. -5ms). To fix this, we could do: group's {u,s}time = foreach(t){task_times(t)} + exited({u,s}time) But task_times() contains hard divisions, so applying it for every thread should be avoided. This patch fixes the above problem in the following way: - Modify thread's exit (= __exit_signal()) not to use task_times(). It means {u,s}time in signal struct accumulates raw values instead of adjusted values. As the result it makes thread_group_cputime() to return pure sum of "raw" values. - Introduce a new function thread_group_times(*task, *utime, *stime) that converts "raw" values of thread_group_cputime() to "adjusted" values, in same calculation procedure as task_times(). - Modify group's exit (= wait_task_zombie()) to use this introduced thread_group_times(). It make c{u,s}time in signal struct to have adjusted values like before this patch. - Replace some thread_group_cputime() by thread_group_times(). This replacements are only applied where conveys the "adjusted" cputime to users, and where already uses task_times() near by it. (i.e. sys_times(), getrusage(), and /proc/<PID>/stat.) This patch have a positive side effect: - Before this patch, if a group contains many short-life threads (e.g. runs 0.9ms and not interrupted by ticks), the group's cputime could be invisible since thread's cputime was accumulated after adjusted: imagine adjustment function as adj(ticks, runtime), {adj(0, 0.9) + adj(0, 0.9) + ....} = {0 + 0 + ....} = 0. After this patch it will not happen because the adjustment is applied after accumulated. v2: - remove if()s, put new variables into signal_struct.

This allows the removal of some #ifdefs. (2) #ifdef'ing out the contents of slow_work_wait_for_items() in moduleless kernels. The four functions related to handling module unloading synchronisation (and their associated variables) could be offloaded into a separate .c file, but each function is only used once and three of them are tiny, so doing so would prevent them from being inlined.

2009-11-29core: Fix user return notifier on fork()Avi Kivity1-0/+2
fork() clones all thread_info flags, including TIF_USER_RETURN_NOTIFY; if the new task is first scheduled on a cpu which doesn't have user return notifiers set, this causes user return notifiers to trigger without any way of clearing itself. This is easy to trigger with a forky workload on the host in parallel with kvm, resulting in a cpu in an endless loop on the verge of returning to userspace. Fix by dropping the TIF_USER_RETURN_NOTIFY immediately after fork.
