sched: Try not to migrate higher priority RT tasks
When first working on the RT scheduler design, we concentrated on
keeping all CPUs running RT tasks instead of having multiple RT
tasks on a single CPU waiting for the migration thread to move
them. Instead we take a more proactive stance and push or pull RT
tasks from one CPU to another on wakeup or scheduling.
When an RT task wakes up on a CPU that is running another RT task,
instead of preempting it and killing the cache of the running RT
task, we look to see if we can migrate the RT task that is waking
up, even if the RT task waking up is of higher priority.
This may sound a bit odd, but RT tasks should be limited in
migration by the user anyway. But in practice, people do not do
this, which causes high prio RT tasks to bounce around the CPUs.
This becomes even worse when we have priority inheritance, because
a high prio task can block on a lower prio task and boost its
priority. When the lower prio task wakes up the high prio task, if
it happens to be on the same CPU it will migrate off of it.
But in reality, the above does not happen much either, because the
wake up of the lower prio task, which has already been boosted, if
it was on the same CPU as the higher prio task, it would then
migrate off of it. But anyway, we do not want to migrate them
either.
To examine the scheduling, I created a test program and examined it
under kernelshark. The test program created CPU * 2 threads, where
each thread had a different priority. The program takes different
options. The options used in this change log was to have priority
inheritance mutexes or not.
All threads did the following loop:
static void grab_lock(long id, int iter, int l)
{
ftrace_write("thread %ld iter %d, taking lock %d\n",
id, iter, l);
pthread_mutex_lock(&locks[l]);
ftrace_write("thread %ld iter %d, took lock %d\n",
id, iter, l);
busy_loop(nr_tasks - id);
ftrace_write("thread %ld iter %d, unlock lock %d\n",
id, iter, l);
pthread_mutex_unlock(&locks[l]);
}
void *start_task(void *id)
{
[...]
while (!done) {
for (l = 0; l < nr_locks; l++) {
grab_lock(id, i, l);
ftrace_write("thread %ld iter %d sleeping\n",
id, i);
ms_sleep(id);
}
i++;
}
[...]
}
The busy_loop(ms) keeps the CPU spinning for ms milliseconds. The
ms_sleep(ms) sleeps for ms milliseconds. The ftrace_write() writes
to the ftrace buffer to help analyze via ftrace.
The higher the id, the higher the prio, the shorter it does the
busy loop, but the longer it spins. This is usually the case with
RT tasks, the lower priority tasks usually run longer than higher
priority tasks.
At the end of the test, it records the number of loops each thread
took, as well as the number of voluntary preemptions, non-voluntary
preemptions, and number of migrations each thread took, taking the
information from /proc/$$/sched and /proc/$$/status.
Running this on a 4 CPU processor, the results without changes to
the kernel looked like this:
The total # of migrations did not change (several runs showed the
difference all within the noise). But we now see a dramatic
improvement to the higher priority tasks. (kernelshark showed that
the watchdog timer bumped the highest priority task to give it the
2 count. This was actually consistent with every run).
Notice that the # of iterations did not change either.
The above was with priority inheritance mutexes. That is, when the
higher prority task blocked on a lower priority task, the lower
priority task would inherit the higher priority task (which shows
why task 6 was bumped so many times). When not using priority
inheritance mutexes, the current kernel shows this:
Which shows a even bigger change. The big difference between task 3
and task 4 is because we have only 4 CPUs on the machine, causing
the 4 highest prio tasks to always have preference.
Although I did not measure cache misses, and I'm sure there would
be little to measure since the test was not data intensive, I could
imagine large improvements for higher priority tasks when dealing
with lower priority tasks. Thus, I'm satisfied with making the
change and agreeing with what Gregory Haskins argued a few years
ago when we first had this discussion.
One final note. All tasks in the above tests were RT tasks. Any RT
task will always preempt a non RT task that is running on the CPU
the RT task wants to run on.

sched: Increment cache_nice_tries only on periodic lb
scheduler uses cache_nice_tries as an indicator to do cache_hot and
active load balance, when normal load balance fails. Currently,
this value is changed on any failed load balance attempt. That ends
up being not so nice to workloads that enter/exit idle often, as
they do more frequent new_idle balance and that pretty soon results
in cache hot tasks being pulled in.
Making the cache_nice_tries ignore failed new_idle balance seems to
make better sense. With that only the failed load balance in
periodic load balance gets accounted and the rate of accumulation
of cache_nice_tries will not depend on idle entry/exit (short
running sleep-wakeup kind of tasks). This reduces movement of
cache_hot tasks.

is put forward to power down phy if no usb cable is connected,
but does introduce the two issues below:
1), phy is not into work state if usb cable is connected
with PC during poweron, so musb device mode is not usable
in such case, follows the reasons:
-twl4030_phy_resume is not called, so
regulators are not enabled
i2c access are not enabled
usb mode not configurated
2), The kernel warings[1] of regulators 'unbalanced disables'
is caused if poweron without usb cable connected
with PC or b-device.
This patch fixes the two issues above:
-power down phy only if no usb cable is connected with PC
and b-device
-do phy initialization(via __twl4030_phy_resume) if usb cable
is connected with PC(vbus event) or another b-device(ID event) in
twl4030_usb_probe.
This patch also doesn't put VUSB3V1 LDO into active mode in
twl4030_usb_ldo_init until VBUS/ID change detected, so we can
save more power consumption than before.
This patch is verified OK on Beagle board either connected with

Commit 4969c1192d15 ("mm: fix swapin race condition") is now agreed to
be incomplete. There's a race, not very much less likely than the
original race envisaged, in which it is further necessary to check that
the swapcache page's swap has not changed.
Here's the reasoning: cast in terms of reuse_swap_page(), but probably
could be reformulated to rely on try_to_free_swap() instead, or on
swapoff+swapon.
A, faults into do_swap_page(): does page1 = lookup_swap_cache(swap1) and
comes through the lock_page(page1).
B, a racing thread of the same process, faults on the same address: does
page1 = lookup_swap_cache(swap1) and now waits in lock_page(page1), but
for whatever reason is unlucky not to get the lock any time soon.
A carries on through do_swap_page(), a write fault, but cannot reuse the
swap page1 (another reference to swap1). Unlocks the page1 (but B
doesn't get it yet), does COW in do_wp_page(), page2 now in that pte.
C, perhaps the parent of A+B, comes in and write faults the same swap
page1 into its mm, reuse_swap_page() succeeds this time, swap1 is freed.
kswapd comes in after some time (B still unlucky) and swaps out some
pages from A+B and C: it allocates the original swap1 to page2 in A+B,
and some other swap2 to the original page1 now in C. But does not
immediately free page1 (actually it couldn't: B holds a reference),
leaving it in swap cache for now.
B at last gets the lock on page1, hooray! Is PageSwapCache(page1)? Yes.
Is pte_same(*page_table, orig_pte)? Yes, because page2 has now been
given the swap1 which page1 used to have. So B proceeds to insert page1
into A+B's page_table, though its content now belongs to C, quite
different from what A wrote there.
B ought to have checked that page1's swap was still swap1.

alpha: deal with multiple simultaneously pending signals
Unlike the other targets, alpha sets _one_ sigframe and
buggers off until the next syscall/interrupt, even if
more signals are pending. It leads to quite a few unpleasant
inconsistencies, starting with SIGSEGV potentially arriving
not where it should and including e.g. mess with sigsuspend();
consider two pending signals blocked until sigsuspend()
unblocks them. We pick the first one; then, if we are hit
by interrupt while in the handler, we process the second one
as well. If we are not, and if no syscalls had been made,
we get out of the first handler and leave the second signal
pending; normally sigreturn() would've picked it anyway, but
here it starts with restoring the original mask and voila -
the second signal is blocked again. On everything else we
get both delivered consistently.
It's actually easy to fix; the only thing to watch out for
is prevention of double syscall restart. Fortunately, the
idea I've nicked from arm fix by rmk works just fine...
Testcase demonstrating the behaviour in question; on alpha
we get one or both flags set (usually one), on everything
else both are always set.

alpha: fix a 14 years old bug in sigreturn tracing
The way sigreturn() is implemented on alpha breaks PTRACE_SYSCALL,
all way back to 1.3.95 when alpha has grown PTRACE_SYSCALL support.
What happens is direct return to ret_from_syscall, in order to bypass
mangling of a3 (error indicator) and prevent other mutilations of
registers (e.g. by syscall restart). That's fine, but... the entire
TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE codepath is kept separate on alpha and post-syscall
stopping/notifying the tracer is after the syscall. And the normal
path we are forcibly switching to doesn't have it.
So we end up with *one* stop in traced sigreturn() vs. two in other
syscalls. And yes, strace is visibly broken by that; try to strace
the following
#include <signal.h>
#include <stdio.h>
void f(int sig) {}
main()
{
signal(SIGHUP, f);
raise(SIGHUP);
write(1, "eeeek\n", 6);
}
and watch the show. The
close(1) = 405
in the end of strace output is coming from return value of write() (6 ==
__NR_close on alpha) and syscall number of exit_group() (__NR_exit_group ==
405 there).
The fix is fairly simple - the only thing we end up missing is the call
of syscall_trace() and we can tell whether we'd been called from the
SYSCALL_TRACE path by checking ra value. Since we are setting the
switch_stack up (that's what sys_sigreturn() does), we have the right
environment for calling syscall_trace() - just before we call
undo_switch_stack() and return. Since undo_switch_stack() will overwrite
s0 anyway, we can use it to store the result of "has it been called from
SYSCALL_TRACE path?" check. The same thing applies in rt_sigreturn().

arm: fix really nasty sigreturn bug
If a signal hits us outside of a syscall and another gets delivered
when we are in sigreturn (e.g. because it had been in sa_mask for

we have a chance of returning from the second handler to location one
insn prior to where we ought to return. If r0 happens to contain -513
(-ERESTARTNOINTR), sigreturn will get confused into doing restart
syscall song and dance.
Incredible joy to debug, since it manifests as random, infrequent and
very hard to reproduce double execution of instructions in userland
code...
The fix is simple - mark it "don't bother with restarts" in wrapper,
i.e. set r8 to 0 in sys_sigreturn and sys_rt_sigreturn wrappers,
suppressing the syscall restart handling on return from these guys.
They can't legitimately return a restart-worthy error anyway.

mailing list for them. Move the discussion to netdev, so we can decommission
atl1-devel, which is now mostly spam.

md: fix v1.x metadata update when a disk is missing.
If an array with 1.x metadata is assembled with the last disk missing,
md doesn't properly record the fact that the disk was missing.
This is unlikely to cause a real problem as the event count will be
different to the count on the missing disk so it won't be included in
the array. However it could still cause confusion.
So make sure we clear all the relevant slots, not just the early ones.
md: call md_update_sb even for 'external' metadata arrays.
Now that we depend on md_update_sb to clear variable bits in
mddev->flags (rather than trying not to set them) it is important to
always call md_update_sb when appropriate.
md_check_recovery has this job but explicitly avoids it for ->external
metadata arrays. This is not longer appropraite, or needed.
However we do want to avoid taking the mddev lock if only
MD_CHANGE_PENDING is set as that is not cleared by md_update_sb for
external-metadata arrays.

firewire: nosy: fix build when CONFIG_FIREWIRE=N
drivers/firewire/nosy* is a stand-alone driver that does not depend on
CONFIG_FIREWIRE. Hence let make descend into drivers/firewire/ also
if that option is off.
The stand-alone driver drivers/ieee1394/init_ohci1394_dma* will soon be
moved into drivers/firewire/ too and will require the same makefile fix.
Side effect:
As mentioned in https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=586172#c24
this influences the order in which either firewire-ohci or ohci1394 is
going to be bound to an OHCI-1394 controller in case of a modular build
of both drivers if no modprobe blacklist entries are configured.
However, a user of such a setup cannot expect deterministic behavior
anyway. The Kconfig help and the migration guide at
ieee1394.wiki.kernel.org recommend blacklist entries when a dual
IEEE 1394 stack build is being used. (The coexistence period of the two
stacks is planned to end soon.)

sched: Remove branch hints within context_switch()
With 710390d9 "sched: Optimize branch hint in context_switch()"
the branch hint logic within context_switch() got inversed.
In fact the hints "if (likely(!mm))" and "if (likely(!prev->mm))"
mean that it is likely that the previous and next task are kernel
threads.
That assumption is certainly counter intuitive, but Tim has shown
that at least with his workload this is true. Nevertheless the
truth is: it depends on the current workload. So just remove the
annotations which also improves readability.

r8169: Handle rxfifo errors on 8168 chips
The Thinkpad X100e seems to have some odd behaviour when the display is
powered off - the onboard r8169 starts generating rxfifo overflow errors.
The root cause of this has not yet been identified and may well be a
hardware design bug on the platform, but r8169 should be more resiliant to
this. This patch enables the rxfifo interrupt on 8168 devices and removes
the MAC version check in the interrupt handler, and the machine no longer
crashes when under network load while the screen turns off.

tcp: Prevent overzealous packetization by SWS logic.
If peer uses tiny MSS (say, 75 bytes) and similarly tiny advertised
window, the SWS logic will packetize to half the MSS unnecessarily.
This causes problems with some embedded devices.
However for large MSS devices we do want to half-MSS packetize
otherwise we never get enough packets into the pipe for things
like fast retransmit and recovery to work.
Be careful also to handle the case where MSS > window, otherwise
we'll never send until the probe timer.

pcmcia pcnet_cs: try setting io_lines to 16 if card setup fails
Some pcnet_cs compatible cards require an exact 16-lines match
of the ioport areas specified in CIS, but set the "iolines"
value in the CIS incorrectly. We can easily work around this
issue -- same as we do in serial_cs -- by first trying setting
iolines to the CIS-specified value, and then trying a 16-line
match.

arch/tile: Change struct sigcontext to be more useful
Rather than just using pt_regs, it now contains the actual saved
state explicitly, similar to pt_regs. By doing it this way, we
provide a cleaner API for userspace (or equivalently, we avoid the
need for libc to provide its own definition of sigcontext).
While we're at it, move PT_FLAGS_xxx to where they are not visible
from userspace. And always pass siginfo and mcontext to signal
handlers, even if they claim they don't need it, since sometimes
they actually try to use it anyway in practice.
