From e162b39a368f0401e41b558f430c354d12a85b37 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mandeep Singh Baines Date: Thu, 15 Jan 2009 11:08:40 -0800 Subject: softlockup: decouple hung tasks check from softlockup detection Decoupling allows: * hung tasks check to happen at very low priority * hung tasks check and softlockup to be enabled/disabled independently at compile and/or run-time * individual panic settings to be enabled disabled independently at compile and/or run-time * softlockup threshold to be reduced without increasing hung tasks poll frequency (hung task check is expensive relative to softlock watchdog) * hung task check to be zero over-head when disabled at run-time Signed-off-by: Mandeep Singh Baines Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar --- include/linux/sched.h | 14 ++++++++++---- 1 file changed, 10 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) (limited to 'include') diff --git a/include/linux/sched.h b/include/linux/sched.h index 54cbabf3b87..f2f94d53230 100644 --- a/include/linux/sched.h +++ b/include/linux/sched.h @@ -297,9 +297,6 @@ extern int proc_dosoftlockup_thresh(struct ctl_table *table, int write, struct file *filp, void __user *buffer, size_t *lenp, loff_t *ppos); extern unsigned int softlockup_panic; -extern unsigned long sysctl_hung_task_check_count; -extern unsigned long sysctl_hung_task_timeout_secs; -extern unsigned long sysctl_hung_task_warnings; extern int softlockup_thresh; #else static inline void softlockup_tick(void) @@ -316,6 +313,15 @@ static inline void touch_all_softlockup_watchdogs(void) } #endif +#ifdef CONFIG_DETECT_HUNG_TASK +extern unsigned int sysctl_hung_task_panic; +extern unsigned long sysctl_hung_task_check_count; +extern unsigned long sysctl_hung_task_timeout_secs; +extern unsigned long sysctl_hung_task_warnings; +extern int proc_dohung_task_timeout_secs(struct ctl_table *table, int write, + struct file *filp, void __user *buffer, + size_t *lenp, loff_t *ppos); +#endif /* Attach to any functions which should be ignored in wchan output. */ #define __sched __attribute__((__section__(".sched.text"))) @@ -1236,7 +1242,7 @@ struct task_struct { /* ipc stuff */ struct sysv_sem sysvsem; #endif -#ifdef CONFIG_DETECT_SOFTLOCKUP +#ifdef CONFIG_DETECT_HUNG_TASK /* hung task detection */ unsigned long last_switch_timestamp; unsigned long last_switch_count; -- cgit v1.2.3-70-g09d2 From 5e54f5986a579b8445aa1d5ad3435c2cf7568bed Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mandeep Singh Baines Date: Fri, 30 Jan 2009 15:29:54 -0800 Subject: softlockup: remove unused definition for spawn_softlockup_task The definition of spawn_softlockup_task in sched.h became unnecessary once it was converted to the early_initcall() interface.
