posix-timers: Prevent softirq starvation by small intervals and SIG_IGN
posix-timers which deliver an ignored signal are currently rearmed in
the timer softirq: This is necessary because the timer needs to be
delivered again when SIG_IGN is removed. This is not a problem, when
the interval is reasonable.
With high resolution timers enabled one might arm a posix timer with a
very small interval and ignore the signal. This might lead to a
softirq starvation when the interval is so small that the timer is
requeued onto the softirq pending list right away.
This problem was pointed out by Jan Kiszka. Thanks Jan !
The correct solution would be to stop the timer, when the signal is
ignored and rearm it when SIG_IGN is removed. Unfortunately this
requires modification in sigaction and involves non trivial sighand
locking. It's too late in the release cycle for such a change.
For now we just keep the timer running and enforce that the timer only
fires every jiffie. This does not break anything as we keep the
overrun counter correct. It adds a little inaccuracy to the
timer_gettime() interface, but...
The more complex change is necessary anyway to fix another short
coming of the current implementation, which I discovered while looking
at this problem: A pending signal is discarded when SIG_IGN is set. In
case that a posixtimer signal is pending then it is discarded as well,
but when SIG_IGN is removed later nothing rearms the timer. This is
not new, it's that way since posix timers have been merged. So nothing
to worry about right now.
I have a working solution to fix all of this, but the impact is too
large for both stable and 2.6.22. I'm going to send it out for review
in the next days.
This should go into 2.6.21.stable as well.

spidernet: Cure RX ram full bug
This patch fixes a rare deadlock that can occur when the kernel
is not able to empty out the RX ring quickly enough. Below follows
a detailed description of the bug and the fix.
As long as the OS can empty out the RX buffers at a rate faster than
the hardware can fill them, there is no problem. If, for some reason,
the OS fails to empty the RX ring fast enough, the hardware GDACTDPA
pointer will catch up to the head, notice the not-empty condition,
ad stop. However, RX packets may still continue arriving on the wire.
The spidernet chip can save some limited number of these in local RAM.
When this local ram fills up, the spider chip will issue an interrupt
indicating this (GHIINT0STS will show ERRINT, and the GRMFLLINT bit
will be set in GHIINT1STS). When te RX ram full condition occurs,
a certain bug/feature is triggered that has to be specially handled.
This section describes the special handling for this condition.
When the OS finally has a chance to run, it will empty out the RX ring.
In particular, it will clear the descriptor on which the hardware had
stopped. However, once the hardware has decided that a certain
descriptor is invalid, it will not restart at that descriptor; instead
it will restart at the next descr. This potentially will lead to a
deadlock condition, as the tail pointer will be pointing at this descr,
which, from the OS point of view, is empty; the OS will be waiting for
this descr to be filled. However, the hardware has skipped this descr,
and is filling the next descrs. Since the OS doesn't see this, there
is a potential deadlock, with the OS waiting for one descr to fill,
while the hardware is waiting for a differen set of descrs to become
empty.
A call to show_rx_chain() at this point indicates the nature of the
problem. A typical print when the network is hung shows the following:
net eth1: Spider RX RAM full, incoming packets might be discarded!
net eth1: Total number of descrs=256
net eth1: Chain tail located at descr=255
net eth1: Chain head is at 255
net eth1: HW curr desc (GDACTDPA) is at 0
net eth1: Have 1 descrs with stat=xa0800000
net eth1: HW next desc (GDACNEXTDA) is at 1
net eth1: Have 127 descrs with stat=x40800101
net eth1: Have 1 descrs with stat=x40800001
net eth1: Have 126 descrs with stat=x40800101
net eth1: Last 1 descrs with stat=xa0800000
Both the tail and head pointers are pointing at descr 255, which is
marked xa... which is "empty". Thus, from the OS point of view, there
is nothing to be done. In particular, there is the implicit assumption
that everything in front of the "empty" descr must surely also be empty,
as explained in the last section. The OS is waiting for descr 255 to
become non-empty, which, in this case, will never happen.
The HW pointer is at descr 0. This descr is marked 0x4.. or "full".
Since its already full, the hardware can do nothing more, and thus has
halted processing. Notice that descrs 0 through 254 are all marked
"full", while descr 254 and 255 are empty. (The "Last 1 descrs" is
descr 254, since tail was at 255.) Thus, the system is deadlocked,
and there can be no forward progress; the OS thinks there's nothing
to do, and the hardware has nowhere to put incoming data.
This bug/feature is worked around with the spider_net_resync_head_ptr()
routine. When the driver receives RX interrupts, but an examination
of the RX chain seems to show it is empty, then it is probable that
the hardware has skipped a descr or two (sometimes dozens under heavy
network conditions). The spider_net_resync_head_ptr() subroutine will
search the ring for the next full descr, and the driver will resume
operations there. Since this will leave "holes" in the ring, there
is also a spider_net_resync_tail_ptr() that will skip over such holes.

Fix possible runqueue lock starvation in wait_task_inactive()
Miklos Szeredi reported very long pauses (several seconds, sometimes
more) on his T60 (with a Core2Duo) which he managed to track down to
wait_task_inactive()'s open-coded busy-loop.
He observed that an interrupt on one core tries to acquire the
runqueue-lock but does not succeed in doing so for a very long time -
while wait_task_inactive() on the other core loops waiting for the first
core to deschedule a task (which it wont do while spinning in an
interrupt handler).
This rewrites wait_task_inactive() to do all its waiting optimistically
without any locks taken at all, and then just double-check the end
result with the proper runqueue lock held over just a very short
section. If there were races in the optimistic wait, of a preemption
event scheduled the process away, we simply re-synchronize, and start
over.
/* Preempted away? Yield if so.. */
if (unlikely(array)) {
yield();
goto repeat;
}
Basically, that first "while()" loop is done entirely without any
locking at all (and doesn't check for the case where the target process
might have been preempted away), and so it's possibly "incorrect", but
we don't really care. Both the runqueue used, and the "task_running()"
check might be the wrong tests, but they won't oops - they just mean
that we could possibly get the wrong results due to lack of locking and
exit the loop early in the case of a race condition.
So once we've exited the loop, we then get the proper (and careful) rq
lock, and check the running/runnable state _safely_. And if it turns
out that our quick-and-dirty and unsafe loop was wrong after all, we
just go back and try it all again.
(The patch also adds a lot of comments, which is the actual bulk of it
all, to make it more obvious why we can do these things without holding
the locks).
Thanks to Miklos for all the testing and tracking it down.

sched: fix SysRq-N (normalize RT tasks)
Gene Heskett reported the following problem while testing CFS: SysRq-N
is not always effective in normalizing tasks back to SCHED_OTHER.
The reason for that turns out to be the following bug:
- normalize_rt_tasks() uses for_each_process() to iterate through all
tasks in the system. The problem is, this method does not iterate
through all tasks, it iterates through all thread groups.
The proper mechanism to enumerate over all threads is to use a
do_each_thread() + while_each_thread() loop.
Fix signalfd interaction with thread-private signals
Don't let signalfd dequeue private signals off other threads (in the
case of things like SIGILL or SIGSEGV, trying to do so would result
in undefined behaviour on who actually gets the signal, since they
are force unblocked).
It not only introduced user space visible changes to the futex syscall,
it is also non-functional and there is no way to fix it proper before
the 2.6.22 release.
The breakage report ( http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/5/12/17 ) went
unanswered, and unfortunately it turned out that the concept is not
feasible at all. It violates the rtmutex semantics badly by introducing
a virtual owner, which hacks around the coupling of the user-space
pi_futex and the kernel internal rt_mutex representation.
At the moment the only safe option is to remove it fully as it contains
user-space visible changes to broken kernel code, which we do not want
to expose in the 2.6.22 release.
The patch reverts the original patch mostly 1:1, but contains a couple
of trivial manual cleanups which were necessary due to patches, which
touched the same area of code later.
Verified against the glibc tests and my own PI futex tests.

IB/mlx4: Handle new FW requirement for send request prefetching
New ConnectX firmware introduces FW command interface revision 2,
which requires that for each QP, a chunk of send queue entries (the
"headroom") is kept marked as invalid, so that the HCA doesn't get
confused if it prefetches entries that haven't been posted yet. Add
code to the driver to do this, and also update the user ABI so that
userspace can request that the prefetcher be turned off for userspace
QPs (we just leave the prefetcher on for all kernel QPs).
Unfortunately, marking send queue entries this way is confuses older
firmware, so we change the driver to allow only FW command interface
revisions 2. This means that users will have to update their firmware
to work with the new driver, but the firmware is changing quickly and
the old firmware has lots of other bugs anyway, so this shouldn't be too
big a deal.

shm: fix the filename of hugetlb sysv shared memory
Some user space tools need to identify SYSV shared memory when examining
/proc/<pid>/maps. To do so they look for a block device with major zero, a
dentry named SYSV<sysv key>, and having the minor of the internal sysv
shared memory kernel mount.
To help these tools and to make it easier for people just browsing
/proc/<pid>/maps this patch modifies hugetlb sysv shared memory to use the
SYSV<key> dentry naming convention.
User space tools will still have to be aware that hugetlb sysv shared
memory lives on a different internal kernel mount and so has a different
block device minor number from the rest of sysv shared memory.

hugetlb: fix get_policy for stacked shared memory files
Here's another breakage as a result of shared memory stacked files :(

1) vma->vm_ops->get_policy() (if defined)
2) vma->vm_policy (if defined)
3) task->mempolicy (if defined)
4) Fall back to default_policy
By switching to stacked files for shared memory, get_policy() is now always
set to shm_get_policy which is a wrapper function. This causes us to stop
at step 1, which yields NULL for hugetlb instead of task->mempolicy which
was the previous (and correct) result.
This patch modifies the shm_get_policy() wrapper to maintain steps 1-3 for
the wrapped vm_ops.

udf: fix possible leakage of blocks
We have to take care that when we call udf_discard_prealloc() from

Also udf_discard_prealloc() does two different things - it removes
preallocated blocks and truncates the last extent to exactly match i_size.
We move the latter functionality to udf_truncate_tail_extent(), call
udf_discard_prealloc() when last reference to a file is dropped and call
udf_truncate_tail_extent() when inode is being removed from inode cache
(udf_clear_inode() call).
We cannot call udf_truncate_tail_extent() earlier as subsequent open+write
would find the last block of the file mapped and happily write to the end
of it, although the last extent says it's shorter.
