[PATCH] remove the broken BLK_DEV_SWIM_IOP driver

The BLK_DEV_SWIM_IOP driver has:
- already been marked as BROKEN in 2.6.0 three years ago and
- is still marked as BROKEN.

Drivers that had been marked as BROKEN for such a long time seem to be
unlikely to be revived in the forseeable future.

But if anyone wants to ever revive this driver, the code is still
present in the older kernel releases.

(Also note that as we all know the Linux kernel is, by definition, bug-free

[PATCH] PM: Fix SMP races in the freezer

Currently, to tell a task that it should go to the refrigerator, we set the
PF_FREEZE flag for it and send a fake signal to it.  Unfortunately there
are two SMP-related problems with this approach.  First, a task running on
another CPU may be updating its flags while the freezer attempts to set
PF_FREEZE for it and this may leave the task's flags in an inconsistent
state.  Second, there is a potential race between freeze_process() and
refrigerator() in which freeze_process() running on one CPU is reading a
task's PF_FREEZE flag while refrigerator() running on another CPU has just
set PF_FROZEN for the same task and attempts to reset PF_FREEZE for it.  If
the refrigerator wins the race, freeze_process() will state that PF_FREEZE
hasn't been set for the task and will set it unnecessarily, so the task
will go to the refrigerator once again after it's been thawed.

To solve first of these problems we need to stop using PF_FREEZE to tell
tasks that they should go to the refrigerator.  Instead, we can introduce a
special TIF_*** flag and use it for this purpose, since it is allowed to
change the other tasks' TIF_*** flags and there are special calls for it.

To avoid the freeze_process()-refrigerator() race we can make
freeze_process() to always check the task's PF_FROZEN flag after it's read
its "freeze" flag.  We should also make sure that refrigerator() will
always reset the task's "freeze" flag after it's set PF_FROZEN for it.

[PATCH] PM: Fix freezing of stopped tasks

Currently, if a task is stopped (ie.  it's in the TASK_STOPPED state), it
is considered by the freezer as unfreezeable.  However, there may be a race
between the freezer and the delivery of the continuation signal to the task
resulting in the task running after we have finished freezing the other
tasks.  This, in turn, may lead to undesirable effects up to and including
data corruption.

To prevent this from happening we first need to make the freezer consider
stopped tasks as freezeable.  For this purpose we need to make freezeable()
stop returning 0 for these tasks and we need to force them to enter the
refrigerator.  However, if there's no continuation signal in the meantime,
the stopped tasks should remain stopped after all processes have been
thawed, so we need to send an additional SIGSTOP to each of them before
waking it up.

Also, a stopped task that has just been woken up should first check if
there's a freezing request for it and go to the refrigerator if that's the
case.

Eric Dumazet [Wed, 13 Dec 2006 08:34:27 +0000 (00:34 -0800)]
[PATCH] SLAB: use a multiply instead of a divide in obj_to_index()

When some objects are allocated by one CPU but freed by another CPU we can
consume lot of cycles doing divides in obj_to_index().

(Typical load on a dual processor machine where network interrupts are
handled by one particular CPU (allocating skbufs), and the other CPU is
running the application (consuming and freeing skbufs))

Here on one production server (dual-core AMD Opteron 285), I noticed this
divide took 1.20 % of CPU_CLK_UNHALTED events in kernel.  But Opteron are
quite modern cpus and the divide is much more expensive on oldest
architectures :

On a 200 MHz sparcv9 machine, the division takes 64 cycles instead of 1
cycle for a multiply.

Doing some math, we can use a reciprocal multiplication instead of a divide.

If we want to compute V = (A / B)  (A and B being u32 quantities)
we can instead use :

V = ((u64)A * RECIPROCAL(B)) >> 32 ;

where RECIPROCAL(B) is precalculated to ((1LL << 32) + (B - 1)) / B

Note :

I wrote pure C code for clarity. gcc output for i386 is not optimal but
acceptable :

mull   0x14(%ebx)
mov    %edx,%eax // part of the >> 32
xor     %edx,%edx // useless
mov    %eax,(%esp) // could be avoided
mov    %edx,0x4(%esp) // useless

17 years ago[PATCH] cpuset: rework cpuset_zone_allowed api
Paul Jackson [Wed, 13 Dec 2006 08:34:25 +0000 (00:34 -0800)]
[PATCH] cpuset: rework cpuset_zone_allowed api

Elaborate the API for calling cpuset_zone_allowed(), so that users have to
explicitly choose between the two variants:

  cpuset_zone_allowed_hardwall()
  cpuset_zone_allowed_softwall()

Until now, whether or not you got the hardwall flavor depended solely on
whether or not you or'd in the __GFP_HARDWALL gfp flag to the gfp_mask
argument.

If you didn't specify __GFP_HARDWALL, you implicitly got the softwall
version.

Unfortunately, this meant that users would end up with the softwall version
without thinking about it.  Since only the softwall version might sleep,
this led to bugs with possible sleeping in interrupt context on more than
one occassion.

The hardwall version requires that the current tasks mems_allowed allows
the node of the specified zone (or that you're in interrupt or that
__GFP_THISNODE is set or that you're on a one cpuset system.)

The softwall version, depending on the gfp_mask, might allow a node if it
was allowed in the nearest enclusing cpuset marked mem_exclusive (which
requires taking the cpuset lock 'callback_mutex' to evaluate.)

This patch removes the cpuset_zone_allowed() call, and forces the caller to
explicitly choose between the hardwall and the softwall case.

If the caller wants the gfp_mask to determine this choice, they should (1)
be sure they can sleep or that __GFP_HARDWALL is set, and (2) invoke the
cpuset_zone_allowed_softwall() routine.

This adds another 100 or 200 bytes to the kernel text space, due to the few
lines of nearly duplicate code at the top of both cpuset_zone_allowed_*
routines.  It should save a few instructions executed for the calls that
turned into calls of cpuset_zone_allowed_hardwall, thanks to not having to
set (before the call) then check (within the call) the __GFP_HARDWALL flag.

For the most critical call, from get_page_from_freelist(), the same
instructions are executed as before -- the old cpuset_zone_allowed()
routine it used to call is the same code as the
cpuset_zone_allowed_softwall() routine that it calls now.

Not a perfect win, but seems worth it, to reduce this chance of hitting a
sleeping with irq off complaint again.

This patch cleans up the slab header definitions.  We define the common

for slab's kmalloc implementations in <linux/slab_def.h>.  In order to get
a greater set of common functions we add several empty functions to slob.c
and also rename slob's kmalloc to __kmalloc.

Slob does not need any special definitions since we introduce a fallback
case.  If there is no need for a slab implementation to provide its own
kmalloc mess^H^H^Hacros then we simply fall back to __kmalloc functions.
That is sufficient for SLOB.

Sort the function in slab.h according to their functionality.  First the
functions operating on struct kmem_cache * then the kmalloc related
functions followed by special debug and fallback definitions.

that is, if you mouse click it now, .config is written.

Returns sym_change_count to reflect the .config's change state.
All read only accesses of
sym_change_count

[PATCH] Revert "[PATCH] identifier to nsproxy"

This reverts commit 373beb35cd6b625e0ba4ad98baace12310a26aa8.

No one is using this identifier yet.  The purpose of this identifier is to
export nsproxy to user space which is wrong.  nsproxy is an internal
implementation optimization, which should keep our fork times from getting
slower as we increase the number of global namespaces you don't have to
share.

Adding a global identifier like this is inappropriate because it makes
namespaces inherently non-recursive, greatly limiting what we can do with
them in the future.

IPoIB: Make sure struct ipoib_neigh.queue is always initialized

Move the initialization of ipoib_neigh's skb_queue into
ipoib_neigh_alloc(), since commit 2745b5b7 ("IPoIB: Fix skb leak when
freeing neighbour") will make iterate over the skb_queue to free any
packets left over when freeing the ipoib_neigh structure.

ipoib_mcast_send(), which otherwise don't have their skb_queue
initialized.
