2012-07-02rcu: Increase rcu_barrier() concurrencyPaul E. McKenney
The traditional rcu_barrier() implementation has serialized all requests, regardless of RCU flavor, and also does not coalesce concurrent requests. In the past, this has been good and sufficient. However, systems are getting larger and use of rcu_barrier() has been increasing. This commit therefore introduces a counter-based scheme that allows _rcu_barrier() calls for the same flavor of RCU to take advantage of each others' work. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2012-07-02rcu: Size rcu_node tree from nr_cpu_ids rather than NR_CPUSPaul E. McKenney
The rcu_node tree array is sized based on compile-time constants, including NR_CPUS. Although this approach has worked well in the past, the recent trend by many distros to define NR_CPUS=4096 results in excessive grace-period-initialization latencies. This commit therefore substitutes the run-time computed nr_cpu_ids for the compile-time NR_CPUS when building the tree. This can result in much of the compile-time-allocated rcu_node array being unused. If this is a major problem, you are in a specialized situation anyway, so you can manually adjust the NR_CPUS, RCU_FANOUT, and RCU_FANOUT_LEAF kernel config parameters. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2012-07-01PM / Hibernate: Print hibernation/thaw progress indicator one line at a time.Bojan Smojver
With the introduction of suspend to both into in-kernel hibernation code, dmesg was getting polluted with backspace characters printed as part of image saving progress indicator. This patch introduces printing of progress indicator on image save/load every 10% and one line at a time. As an additional benefit, all other messages emitted by the kernel during hibernation/thaw should now print cleanly as well.

2012-07-01ftrace: Disable function tracing during suspend/resume and hibernation, againSrivatsa S. Bhat
If function tracing is enabled for some of the low-level suspend/resume functions, it leads to triple fault during resume from suspend, ultimately ending up in a reboot instead of a resume (or a total refusal to come out of suspended state, on some machines). This issue was explained in more detail in commit f42ac38c59e0a03d (ftrace: disable tracing for suspend to ram). However, the changes made by that commit got reverted by commit cbe2f5a6e84eebb (tracing: allow tracing of suspend/resume & hibernation code again). So, unfortunately since things are not yet robust enough to allow tracing of low-level suspend/resume functions, suspend/resume is still broken when ftrace is enabled. So fix this by disabling function tracing during suspend/resume & hibernation. Signed-off-by: Srivatsa S. Bhat <srivatsa.bhat@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

2012-06-29netlink: add netlink_kernel_cfg parameter to netlink_kernel_createPablo Neira Ayuso
This patch adds the following structure: struct netlink_kernel_cfg { unsigned int groups; void (*input)(struct sk_buff *skb); struct mutex *cb_mutex; }; That can be passed to netlink_kernel_create to set optional configurations for netlink kernel sockets. I've populated this structure by looking for NULL and zero parameters at the existing code. The remaining parameters that always need to be set are still left in the original interface. That includes optional parameters for the netlink socket creation. This allows easy extensibility of this interface in the future. This patch also adapts all callers to use this new interface.

2012-06-29printk: flush continuation lines immediately to consoleKay Sievers
Continuation lines are buffered internally, intended to merge the chunked printk()s into a single record, and to isolate potentially racy continuation users from usual terminated line users. This though, has the effect that partial lines are not printed to the console in the moment they are emitted. In case the kernel crashes in the meantime, the potentially interesting printed information would never reach the consoles. Here we share the continuation buffer with the console copy logic, and partial lines are always immediately flushed to the available consoles. They are still buffered internally to improve the readability and integrity of the messages and minimize the amount of needed record headers to store.

2012-06-28ring-buffer: Fix uninitialized read_stampSteven Rostedt
The ring buffer reader page is used to swap a page from the writable ring buffer. If the writer happens to be on that page, it ends up on the reader page, but will simply move off of it, back into the writable ring buffer as writes are added. The time stamp passed back to the readers is stored in the cpu_buffer per CPU descriptor. This stamp is updated when a swap of the reader page takes place, and it reads the current stamp from the page taken from the writable ring buffer. Everytime a writer goes to a new page, it updates the time stamp of that page. The problem happens if a reader reads a page from an empty per CPU ring buffer. If the buffer is empty, the swap still takes place, placing the writer at the start of the reader page. If at a later time, a write happens, it updates the page's time stamp and continues. But the problem is that the read_stamp does not get updated, because the page was already swapped. The solution to this was to not swap the page if the ring buffer happens to be empty. This also removes the side effect that the writes on the reader page will not get updated because the writer never gets back on the reader page without a swap. That is, if a read happens on an empty buffer, but then no reads happen for a while. If a swap took place, and the writer were to start writing a lot of data (function tracer), it will start overflowing the ring buffer and overwrite the older data. But because the writer never goes back onto the reader page, the data left on the reader page never gets overwritten. This causes the reader to see really old data, followed by a jump to newer data.

2012-06-28tracing: Remove NR_CPUS array from trace_iteratorSteven Rostedt
Replace the NR_CPUS array of buffer_iter from the trace_iterator with an allocated array. This will just create an array of possible CPUS instead of the max number specified. The use of NR_CPUS in that array caused allocation failures for machines that were tight on memory. This did not cause any failures to the system itself (no crashes), but caused unnecessary failures for reading the trace files. Added a helper function called 'trace_buffer_iter()' that returns the buffer_iter item or NULL if it is not defined or the array was not allocated.

2012-06-26syslog: fill buffer with more than a single message for SYSLOG_ACTION_READJan Beulich
The recent changes to the printk buffer management resulted in SYSLOG_ACTION_READ to only return a single message, whereas previously the buffer would get filled as much as possible. As, when too small to fit everything, filling it to the last byte would be pretty ugly with the new code, the patch arranges for as many messages as possible to get returned in a single invocation. User space tools in at least all SLES versions depend on the old behavior. This at once addresses the issue attempted to get fixed with commit b56a39ac263e5b8cafedd551a49c2105e68b98c2 ("printk: return -EINVAL if the message len is bigger than the buf size"), and since that commit widened the possibility for losing a message altogether, the patch here assumes that this other commit would get reverted first (otherwise the patch here won't apply). Furthermore, this patch also addresses the problem dealt with in commit 4a77a5a06ec66ed05199b301e7c25f42f979afdc ("printk: use mutex lock to stop syslog_seq from going wild"), so I'd recommend reverting that one too (albeit there's no direct collision between the two).

This change is meant to add a control for disabling early socket demux. The main motivation behind this patch is to provide an option to disable the feature as it adds an additional cost to routing that reduces overall throughput by up to 5%. For example one of my systems went from 12.1Mpps to 11.6 after the early socket demux was added. It looks like the reason for the regression is that we are now having to perform two lookups, first the one for an established socket, and then the one for the routing table. By adding this patch and toggling the value for ip_early_demux to 0 I am able to get back to the 12.1Mpps I was previously seeing.

2012-06-20pidns: find_new_reaper() can no longer switch to init_pid_ns.child_reaperOleg Nesterov
find_new_reaper() changes pid_ns->child_reaper, see add0d4df ("pid_ns: zap_pid_ns_processes: fix the ->child_reaper changing"). The original reason has gone away after the previous patch, ->children list must be empty after zap_pid_ns_processes(). However now we can not switch to init_pid_ns.child_reaper. __unhash_process() relies on the "->child_reaper == parent" check, but this check does not work if the last exiting task is also the child reaper. As Eric sugested, we can change __unhash_process() to use the parent's pid_ns and remove this code. Also, with this change we can move detach_pid(PIDTYPE_PID) back, where it was before the previous fix. Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Acked-by: "Eric W.

2012-06-20pidns: guarantee that the pidns init will be the last pidns process reapedEric W. Biederman
Today we have a twofold bug. Sometimes release_task on pid == 1 in a pid namespace can run before other processes in a pid namespace have had release task called. With the result that pid_ns_release_proc can be called before the last proc_flus_task() is done using upid->ns->proc_mnt, resulting in the use of a stale pointer. This same set of circumstances can lead to waitpid(...) returning for a processes started with clone(CLONE_NEWPID) before the every process in the pid namespace has actually exited. To fix this modify zap_pid_ns_processess wait until all other processes in the pid namespace have exited, even EXIT_DEAD zombies. The delay_group_leader and related tests ensure that the thread gruop leader will be the last thread of a process group to be reaped, or to become EXIT_DEAD and self reap. With the change to zap_pid_ns_processes we get the guarantee that pid == 1 in a pid namespace will be the last task that release_task is called on. With pid == 1 being the last task to pass through release_task pid_ns_release_proc can no longer be called too early nor can wait return before all of the EXIT_DEAD tasks in a pid namespace have exited.

2012-06-20mm: correctly synchronize rss-counters at exit/execKonstantin Khlebnikov
do_exit() and exec_mmap() call sync_mm_rss() before mm_release() does put_user(clear_child_tid) which can update task->rss_stat and thus make mm->rss_stat inconsistent. This triggers the "BUG:" printk in check_mm(). Let's fix this bug in the safest way, and optimize/cleanup this later.

2012-06-18cgroups: Account for CSS_DEACT_BIAS in __css_putSalman Qazi
When we fixed the race between atomic_dec and css_refcnt, we missed the fact that css_refcnt internally subtracts CSS_DEACT_BIAS to get the actual reference count. This can potentially cause a refcount leak if __css_put races with cgroup_clear_css_refs.

2012-06-18perf: Use css_tryget() to avoid propping up css refcountSalman Qazi
An rmdir pushes css's ref count to zero. However, if the associated directory is open at the time, the dentry ref count is non-zero. If the fd for this directory is then passed into perf_event_open, it does a css_get(). This bounces the ref count back up from zero. This is a problem by itself. But what makes it turn into a crash is the fact that we end up doing an extra dput, since we perform a dput when css_put sees the ref count go down to zero. css_tryget() does not fall into that trap. So, we use that instead.
