attach_pid() currently takes a pid_t and then uses find_pid() to find the corresponding struct pid. Sometimes we already have the struct pid. We can then skip find_pid() if attach_pid() were to take a struct pid parameter. Signed-off-by:

Clean up massive code duplication between mpage_writepages() and generic_writepages(). The new generic function, write_cache_pages() takes a function pointer argument, which will be called for each page to be written. Maybe cifs_writepages() too can use this infrastructure, but I'm not touching that with a ten-foot pole. The upcoming page writeback support in fuse will also want this. Signed-off-by:

Add a call to hard_irq_disable() to stop_machine so that we make sure IRQs are really disabled and not only lazy-disabled on archs like powerpc as some users of stop_machine() may rely on that. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: build fix] Signed-off-by:

Benjamin Herrenschmidt authored
Some architectures, like powerpc, implement lazy disabling of interrupts. That means that on those, local_irq_disable() doesn't actually disable interrupts on the CPU, but only sets some per CPU flag which cause them to be disabled only if an interrupt actually occurs. However, in some cases, such as stop_machine, we really want interrupts to be fully disabled. For example, I have code using stop machine to do ECC error injection, used to verify operations of the ECC hardware, that sort of thing. It really needs to make sure that nothing is actually writing to memory while the injection happens. Similar examples can be found in other low level bits and pieces. This patch implements a generic hard_irq_disable() function which is meant to be called -after- local_irq_disable() and ensures that interrupts are fully disabled on that CPU. The default implementation is a nop, though powerpc does already provide an appropriate one. Signed-off-by:

This patch renames the raw hard_irq_{enable,disable} into __hard_irq_{enable,disable} and introduces a higher level hard_irq_disable() function that can be used by any code to enforce that IRQs are fully disabled, not only lazy disabled. The difference with the __ versions is that it will update some per-processor fields so that the kernel keeps track and properly re-enables them in the next local_irq_disable(); This prepares powerpc for my next patch that introduces hard_irq_disable() generically.

Based on ace_dump_mem() from Grant Likely for the Xilinx SystemACE CompactFlash interface. Add print_hex_dump() & hex_dumper() to lib/hexdump.c and linux/kernel.h. This patch adds the functions print_hex_dump() & hex_dumper(). print_hex_dump() can be used to perform a hex + ASCII dump of data to syslog, in an easily viewable format, thus providing a common text hex dump format. hex_dumper() provides a dump-to-memory function. It converts one "line" of output (16 bytes of input) at a time. Example usages: print_hex_dump(KERN_DEBUG, DUMP_PREFIX_ADDRESS, frame->data, frame->len); hex_dumper(frame->data, frame->len, linebuf, sizeof(linebuf)); Example output using %DUMP_PREFIX_OFFSET: 0009ab42: 40414243 44454647 48494a4b 4c4d4e4f-@ABCDEFG HIJKLMNO Example output using %DUMP_PREFIX_ADDRESS: ffffffff88089af0: 70717273 74757677 78797a7b 7c7d7e7f-pqrstuvw xyz{|}~.

If CONFIG_TASK_IO_ACCOUNTING is defined, we update io accounting counters for each task. This patch permits reporting of values using the well known getrusage() syscall, filling ru_inblock and ru_oublock instead of null values. As TASK_IO_ACCOUNTING currently counts bytes counts, we approximate blocks count doing : nr_blocks = nr_bytes / 512 Example of use : ---------------------- After patch is applied, /usr/bin/time command can now give a good approximation of IO that the process had to do. $ /usr/bin/time grep tototo /usr/include/* Command exited with non-zero status 1 0.00user 0.02system 0:02.11elapsed 1%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 24288inputs+0outputs (0major+259minor)pagefaults 0swaps $ /usr/bin/time dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/testfile count=1000 1000+0 enregistrements lus 1000+0 enregistrements écrits 512000 octets (512 kB) copiés, 0,00326601 seconde, 157 MB/s 0.00user 0.00system 0:00.00elapsed 80%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 0inputs+3000outputs (0major+299minor)pagefaults 0swaps Signed-off-by:

Jeff Dike authored
Add a separate IRQ stack. This differs from i386 in having the entire interrupt run on a separate stack rather than starting on the normal kernel stack and switching over once some preparation has been done. The underlying mechanism, is of course, sigaltstack. Another difference is that interrupts that happen in userspace are handled on the normal kernel stack. These cause a wait wakeup instead of a signal delivery so there is no point in trying to switch stacks for these. There's no other stuff on the stack, so there is no extra stack consumption. This quirk makes it possible to have the entire interrupt run on a separate stack - process preemption (and calls to schedule()) happens on a normal kernel stack. If we enable CONFIG_PREEMPT, this will need to be rethought. The IRQ stack for CPU 0 is declared in the same way as the initial kernel stack. IRQ stacks for other CPUs will be allocated dynamically. An extra field was added to the thread_info structure. When the active thread_info is copied to the IRQ stack, the real_thread field points back to the original stack. This makes it easy to tell where to copy the thread_info struct back to when the interrupt is finished. It also serves as a marker of a nested interrupt. It is NULL for the first interrupt on the stack, and non-NULL for any nested interrupts. Care is taken to behave correctly if a second interrupt comes in when the thread_info structure is being set up or taken down. I could just disable interrupts here, but I don't feel like giving up any of the performance gained by not flipping signals on and off. If an interrupt comes in during these critical periods, the handler can't run because it has no idea what shape the stack is in. So, it sets a bit for its signal in a global mask and returns. The outer handler will deal with this signal itself. Atomicity is had with xchg. A nested interrupt that needs to bail out will xchg its signal mask into pending_mask and repeat in case yet another interrupt hit at the same time, until the mask stabilizes. The outermost interrupt will set up the thread_info and xchg a zero into pending_mask when it is done. At this point, nested interrupts will look at ->real_thread and see that no setup needs to be done. They can just continue normally. Similar care needs to be taken when exiting the outer handler. If another interrupt comes in while it is copying the thread_info, it will drop a bit into pending_mask. The outer handler will check this and if it is non-zero, will loop, set up the stack again, and handle the interrupt. Signed-off-by:

This patch fixes a rarely-happened but severe scheduling problem of the recent m32r kernel of 2.6.17-rc3 or later. In the following previous m32r patch, the switch_to macro was modified not to do unnecessary push/pop operations for tuning. > [PATCH] m32r: update switch_to macro for tuning > 4127272c In this modification, only 'lr' and 'sp' registers are push/pop'ed, assuming that the m32r kernel is always compiled with -fomit-frame-pointer option. However, in 2.6 kernel, kernel/sched.c is irregularly compiled with -fno-omit-frame-pointer if CONFIG_SCHED_NO_NO_OMIT_FRAME_POINTER is not defined. -- kernel/Makefile -- : ifneq ($(CONFIG_SCHED_NO_NO_OMIT_FRAME_POINTER),y) # According to Alan Modra <alan@linuxcare.com.au>, the -fno-omit-frame-pointer is # needed for x86 only. Why this used to be enabled for all architectures is beyond # me. I suspect most platforms don't need this, but until we know that for sure # I turn this off for IA-64 only. Andreas Schwab says it's also needed on m68k # to get a correct value for the wait-channel (WCHAN in ps). --davidm CFLAGS_sched.o := $(PROFILING) -fno-omit-frame-pointer endif : --- Therefore, for the recent m32r kernel, we have to push/pop 'fp' (frame pointer) if CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is defined or CONFIG_SCHED_NO_NO_OMIT_FRAME_POINTER is not defined.

VM statistics updates do not matter if the kernel is in idle powersaving mode. So allow the timer to be deferred. It would be better though if we could switch the timer between deferrable and nondeferrable based on differentials present. The timer would start out nondeferrable and if we find that there were no updates in the last statistics interval then we would switch the timer to deferrable. If the timer later finds again that there are differentials then go to nondeferrable again. And yet another way would be to run the timer shortly before going to idle? The solution here means that the VM counters may be slightly off during idle since differentials may be still pending while the timer is deferred. Signed-off-by:

Fix a couple of problems with unlinking AFS files. (1) The parent directory wasn't being updated properly between unlink() and the following lookup(). It seems that, for some reason, invalidate_remote_inode() wasn't discarding the directory contents correctly, so this patch calls invalidate_inode_pages2() instead on non-regular files. (2) afs_vnode_deleted_remotely() should handle vnodes that don't have a source server recorded without oopsing. Signed-off-by: -
