This is because the driver manages interrupts without checking for
netif_running().

Though, there are few other issues with suspend/resume in this driver.
The intention of calling free_irq() in suspend() was to avoid any
possible spurious interrupts (see commit 5b039e681b8c5f30aac9cc04385
"3c59x PM fixes"). But,

- On resume, the driver was requesting IRQ just after pci_set_master(),
  but before vortex_up() (which actually resets 3c59x chips).

- Issuing free_irq() on a shared IRQ doesn't guarantee that a buggy
  HW won't trigger spurious interrupts in another driver that
  requested the same interrupt. So, if we want to protect from
  unexpected interrupts, then on suspend we should issue disable_irq(),
  not free_irq().

param: allow whitespace as kernel parameter separator

Some boot mechanisms require that kernel parameters are stored in a
separate file which is loaded to memory without further processing
(e.g. the "Load from FTP" method on s390). When such a file contains
newline characters, the kernel parameter preceding the newline might
not be correctly parsed (due to the newline being stuck to the end of
the actual parameter value) which can lead to boot failures.

This patch improves kernel command line usability in such a situation
by allowing generic whitespace characters as separators between kernel
parameters.

include/linux/unaligned/{l,b}e_byteshift.h: fix usage for compressed kernels

When unaligned accesses are required for uncompressing a kernel (such as
for LZO decompression on ARM in a patch that follows), including
<linux/kernel.h> causes issues as it brings in a lot of things that are
not available in the decompression environment.

linux/kernel.h brings at least:
extern int console_printk[];
extern const char hex_asc[];
which causes errors at link-time as they are not available when
compiling the pre-boot environement. There are also a few others:

  arch/arm/boot/compressed/misc.o: In function `valid_user_regs':
   arch/arm/include/asm/ptrace.h:158: undefined reference to `elf_hwcap'
  arch/arm/boot/compressed/misc.o: In function `console_silent':
   include/linux/kernel.h:292: undefined reference to `console_printk'

  arch/arm/boot/compressed/misc.o: In function `__xchg':
   arch/arm/include/asm/system.h:309: undefined reference to `__bad_xchg'

However, those files apparently use nothing from <linux/kernel.h>, all
they need is the declaration of types such as u32 or u64, so
<linux/types.h> should be enough

hpet: hpet driver periodic timer setup bug fixes

The periodic interrupt from drivers/char/hpet.c does not work correctly,
both when using the periodic capability of the hardware and while
emulating the periodic interrupt (when hardware does not support periodic
mode).

With timers capable of periodic interrupts, the comparator field is first
set with the period value followed by set of hidden accumulator, which has
the side effect of overwriting the comparator value.  This results in
wrong periodicity for the interrupts.  For, periodic interrupts to work,
following steps are necessary, in that order.

* Set config with Tn_VAL_SET_CNF bit

* Write to hidden accumulator, the value written is the time when the
  first interrupt should be generated

* Write compartor with period interval for subsequent interrupts
  (http://www.intel.com/hardwaredesign/hpetspec_1.pdf )

When emulating periodic timer with timers not capable of periodic
interrupt, driver is adding the period to counter value instead of
comparator value, which causes slow drift when using this emulation.

Also, driver seems to add hpetp->hp_delta both while setting up periodic
interrupt and while emulating periodic interrupts with timers not capable
of doing periodic interrupts.  This hp_delta will result in slower than
expected interrupt rate and should not be used while setting the interval.

fcntl: add F_[SG]ETOWN_EX

In order to direct the SIGIO signal to a particular thread of a
multi-threaded application we cannot, like suggested by the manpage, put a
TID into the regular fcntl(F_SETOWN) call.  It will still be send to the
whole process of which that thread is part.

Since people do want to properly direct SIGIO we introduce F_SETOWN_EX.

The need to direct SIGIO comes from self-monitoring profiling such as with
perf-counters.  Perf-counters uses SIGIO to notify that new sample data is
available.  If the signal is delivered to the same task that generated the
new sample it can augment that data by inspecting the task's user-space
state right after it returns from the kernel.  This is esp.  convenient
for interpreted or virtual machine driven environments.

Both F_SETOWN_EX and F_GETOWN_EX take a pointer to a struct f_owner_ex
as argument:

struct f_owner_ex {
int   type;
pid_t pid;
};

Where type is one of F_OWNER_TID, F_OWNER_PID or F_OWNER_GID.

One of the things that user space processes like to do is look at metadata
for a crashing process in their /proc/<pid> directory.  this is racy
however, since do_coredump in the kernel doesn't wait for the user space

corrects that.  Allowing the kernel to wait for the user space process to
complete before cleaning up the crashing process.  This is a bit tricky to
do for a few reasons:

1) The user space process isn't our child, so we can't sys_wait4 on it
2) We need to close the pipe before waiting for the user process to complete,
since the user process may rely on an EOF condition

I've discussed several solutions with Oleg Nesterov off-list about this,
and this is the one we've come up with.  We add ourselves as a pipe reader
(to prevent premature cleanup of the pipe_inode_info), and remove
ourselves as a writer (to provide an EOF condition to the writer in user
space), then we iterate until the user space process exits (which we
detect by pipe->readers == 1, hence the > 1 check in the loop).  When we
exit the loop, we restore the proper reader/writer values, then we return
and let filp_close in do_coredump clean up the pipe data properly.

15 years agodo_wait() wakeup optimization: change __wake_up_parent() to use filtered wakeup

do_wait() wakeup optimization: change __wake_up_parent() to use filtered wakeup

Ratan Nalumasu reported that in a process with many threads doing
unnecessary wakeups.  Every waiting thread in the process wakes up to loop
through the children and see that the only ones it cares about are still
not ready.

Now that we have struct wait_opts we can change do_wait/__wake_up_parent
to use filtered wakeups.

We can make child_wait_callback() more clever later, right now it only
checks eligible_child().

do_wait() wakeup optimization: shift security_task_wait() from eligible_child() to wait_consider_task()

Preparation, no functional changes.

eligible_child() has a single caller, wait_consider_task(). We can move
security_task_wait() out from eligible_child(), this allows us to use it
for filtered wake_up().

ptrace: __ptrace_detach: do __wake_up_parent() if we reap the tracee

The bug is old, it wasn't cause by recent changes.

Test case:

static void *tfunc(void *arg)
{
int pid = (long)arg;

assert(ptrace(PTRACE_ATTACH, pid, NULL, NULL) == 0);
kill(pid, SIGKILL);

sleep(1);
return NULL;
}

int main(void)
{
pthread_t th;
long pid = fork();

if (!pid)
pause();

signal(SIGCHLD, SIG_IGN);
assert(pthread_create(&th, NULL, tfunc, (void*)pid) == 0);

int r = waitpid(-1, NULL, __WNOTHREAD);
printf("waitpid: %d %m\n", r);

return 0;
}

Before the patch this program hangs, after this patch waitpid() correctly
fails with errno == -ECHILD.

The problem is, __ptrace_detach() reaps the EXIT_ZOMBIE tracee if its
->real_parent is our sub-thread and we ignore SIGCHLD.  But in this case
we should wake up other threads which can sleep in do_wait().

15 years agomemcg: improve resource counter scalability
Balbir Singh [Wed, 23 Sep 2009 22:56:42 +0000 (15:56 -0700)]
memcg: improve resource counter scalability

Reduce the resource counter overhead (mostly spinlock) associated with the
root cgroup.  This is a part of the several patches to reduce mem cgroup
overhead.  I had posted other approaches earlier (including using percpu
counters).  Those patches will be a natural addition and will be added
iteratively on top of these.

The patch stops resource counter accounting for the root cgroup.  The data
for display is derived from the statisitcs we maintain via
mem_cgroup_charge_statistics (which is more scalable).  What happens today
is that, we do double accounting, once using res_counter_charge() and once
using memory_cgroup_charge_statistics().  For the root, since we don't
implement limits any more, we don't need to track every charge via
res_counter_charge() and check for limit being exceeded and reclaim.

The main mem->res usage_in_bytes can be derived by summing the cache and
rss usage data from memory statistics (MEM_CGROUP_STAT_RSS and
MEM_CGROUP_STAT_CACHE).  However, for memsw->res usage_in_bytes, we need
additional data about swapped out memory.  This patch adds a
MEM_CGROUP_STAT_SWAPOUT and uses that along with MEM_CGROUP_STAT_RSS and
MEM_CGROUP_STAT_CACHE to derive the memsw data.  This data is computed
recursively when hierarchy is enabled.

The tests results I see on a 24 way show that

1. The lock contention disappears from /proc/lock_stats
2. The results of the test are comparable to running with
   cgroup_disable=memory.
