Stepan found: CPU0 CPUn _cpu_up() __cpu_up() boostrap() notify_cpu_starting() set_cpu_online() while (!cpu_active()) cpu_relax() <PREEMPT-out> smp_call_function(.wait=1) /* we find cpu_online() is true */ arch_send_call_function_ipi_mask() /* wait-forever-more */ <PREEMPT-in> local_irq_enable() cpu_notify(CPU_ONLINE) sched_cpu_active() set_cpu_active() Now the purpose of cpu_active is mostly with bringing down a cpu, where we mark it !active to avoid the load-balancer from moving tasks to it while we tear down the cpu. This is required because we only update the sched_domain tree after we brought the cpu-down. And this is needed so that some tasks can still run while we bring it down, we just don't want new tasks to appear. On cpu-up however the sched_domain tree doesn't yet include the new cpu, so its invisible to the load-balancer, regardless of the active state. So instead of setting the active state after we boot the new cpu (and consequently having to wait for it before enabling interrupts) set the cpu active before we set it online and avoid the whole mess.

Peter Zijlstra authored
Per cgroup load-balance has numerous problems, chief amongst them that there is no real sane order in them. So stop pretending it makes sense and enqueue all tasks on a single list. This also allows us to more easily fix the fwd progress issue uncovered by the lock-break stuff. Rotate the list on failure to migreate and limit the total iterations to nr_running (which with releasing the lock isn't strictly accurate but close enough). Also add a filter that skips very light tasks on the first attempt around the list, this attempts to avoid shooting whole cgroups around without affecting over balance.

Idle task boosting is a nono in general. There is one exception, when PREEMPT_RT and NOHZ is active: The idle task calls get_next_timer_interrupt() and holds the timer wheel base->lock on the CPU and another CPU wants to access the timer (probably to cancel it). We can safely ignore the boosting request, as the idle CPU runs this code with interrupts disabled and will complete the lock protected section without being interrupted. So there is no real need to boost.

For code which protects the waitqueue itself with another lock it makes no sense to acquire the waitqueue lock for wakeup all. Provide __wake_up_all_locked(). This is an optimization on the vanilla kernel (to be used by the PCI code) and an important semantic distinction on -rt.

Create a distinction between scheduler related preempt_enable_no_resched() calls and the nearly one hundred other places in the kernel that do not want to reschedule, for one reason or another. This distinction matters for -rt, where the scheduler and the non-scheduler preempt models (and checks) are different. For upstream it's purely documentational.

When a runqueue has rt_runtime_us = 0 then the only way it can accumulate rt_time is via PI boosting. That causes the runqueue to be throttled and replenishing does not change anything due to rt_runtime_us = 0. So avoid that situation by clearing rt_time and skip the throttling alltogether.

When a runqueue is throttled we cannot disable the period timer because that timer is the only way to undo the throttling. We got stale throttling entries when a rq was throttled and then the global sysctl was disabled, which stopped the timer.

IOMMU fixes for Linux 3.3-rc5 All the fixes are for the OMAP IOMMU driver. The first patch is the biggest one. It fixes the calls of the function omap_find_iovm_area() in the omap-iommu-debug module which expects a 'struct device' parameter since commit fabdbca8 instead of an omap_iommu handle. The omap-iommu-debug code still passed the handle to the function which caused a crash. The second patch fixes a NULL pointer dereference in the OMAP code and the third patch makes sure that the omap-iommu is initialized before the omap-isp driver, which relies on the iommu. The last patch is only a workaround until defered probing is implemented. * tag 'iommu-fixes-v3.3-rc5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/joro/iommu: ARM: OMAP: make iommu subsys_initcall to fix builtin omap3isp iommu/omap: fix NULL pointer dereference iommu/omap: fix erroneous omap-iommu-debug API calls

This makes mount take slightly longer, but at the same time, the first write to the filesystem will be faster too. It also means that if there is a problem in the resource index, then we can refuse to mount rather than having to try and report that when the first write occurs. In addition, to avoid recursive locking, we hvae to take account of instances when the rindex glock may already be held when we are trying to update the rbtree of resource groups.

This patch fixes a problem whereby gfs2_grow was failing and causing GFS2 to assert. The problem was that when GFS2's fallocate operation tried to acquire an "allocation" it made sure the rindex was up to date, and if not, it called gfs2_rindex_update. However, if the file being fallocated was the rindex itself, it was already locked at that point. By calling gfs2_rindex_update at an earlier point in time, we bring rindex up to date and thereby avoid trying to lock it when the "allocation" is acquired.

Merge tag 'ktest-fix-make-min-failed-build-for-real' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-ktest While demoing ktest at ELC in 2012, it was embarrassing that the make_min_config test failed to work because the snowball board I was testing it against had a config that would not build. But the make_min_config only tested the testing part and ignored build failures. The end result was a config file that would not boot. This time, for real. * tag 'ktest-fix-make-min-failed-build-for-real' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-ktest: ktest: Fix make_min_config test when build fails

Steven Rostedt authored
The make_min_config does not take into account when the build fails, resulting in a invalid MIN_CONFIG .config file. When the build fails, it is ignored and the boot test is executed, using the previous built kernel. The configs that should be tested are not tested and they may be added or removed depending on the result of the last kernel that succeeded to be built. If the build fails, mark the current config as a failure and the configs that were disabled may still be needed. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

1) ICMP sockets leave err uninitialized but we try to return it for the unsupported MSG_OOB case, reported by Dave Jones. 2) Add new Zaurus device ID entries, from Dave Jones. 3) Pointer calculation in hso driver memset is wrong, from Dan Carpenter. 4) ks8851_probe() checks unsigned value as negative, fix also from Dan Carpenter. 5) Fix crashes in atl1c driver due to TX queue handling, from Eric Dumazet. I anticipate some TX side locking fixes coming in the near future for this driver as well. 6) The inline directive fix in Bluetooth which was breaking the build only with very new versions of GCC, from Johan Hedberg. 7) Fix crashes in the ATP CLIP code due to ARP cleanups this merge window, reported by Meelis Roos and fixed by Eric Dumazet. 8) JME driver doesn't flush RX FIFO correctly, from Guo-Fu Tseng. 9) Some ip6_route_output() callers test the return value for NULL, but this never happens as the convention is to return a dst entry with dst->error set. Fixes from RonQing Li. 10) Logitech Harmony 900 should be handled by zaurus driver not cdc_ether, update white lists and black lists accordingly. From Scott Talbert. 11) Receiving from certain kinds of devices there won't be a MAC header, so there is no MAC header to fixup in the IPSEC code, and if we try to do it we'll crash. Fix from Eric Dumazet. 12) Port type array indexing off-by-one in mlx4 driver, fix from Yevgeny Petrilin. 13) Fix regression in link-down handling in davinci_emac which causes all RX descriptors to be freed up and therefore RX to wedge completely, from Christian Riesch. 14) It took two attempts, but ctnetlink soft lockups seem to be cured now, from Pablo Neira Ayuso. 15) Endianness bug fix in ENIC driver, from Santosh Nayak. 16) The long ago conversion of the PPP fragmentation code over to abstracted SKB list handling wasn't perfect, once we get an out of sequence SKB we don't flush the rest of them like we should. From Ben McKeegan. 17) Fix regression of ->ip_summed initialization in sfc driver. From Ben Hutchings. 18) Bluetooth timeout mistakenly using msecs instead of jiffies, from Andrzej Kaczmarek. 19) Using _sync variant of work cancellation results in deadlocks, use the non _sync variants instead. From Andre Guedes. 20) Bluetooth rfcomm code had reference counting problems leading to crashes, fix from Octavian Purdila. 21) The conversion of netem over to classful qdisc handling added two bugs to netem_dequeue(), fixes from Eric Dumazet. 22) Missing pci_iounmap() in ATM Solos driver. Fix from Julia Lawall. 23) b44_pci_exit() should not have __exit tag since it's invoked from non-__exit code. From Nikola Pajkovsky. 24) The conversion of the neighbour hash tables over to RCU added a race, fixed here by adding the necessary reread of tbl->nht, fix from Michel Machado. 25) When we added VF (virtual function) attributes for network device dumps, this potentially bloats up the size of the dump of one network device such that the dump size is too large for the buffer allocated by properly written netlink applications. In particular, if you add 255 VFs to a network device, parts of GLIBC stop working. To fix this, we add an attribute that is used to turn on these extended portions of the network device dump. Sophisticaed applications like 'ip' that want to see this stuff will be changed to set the attribute, whereas things like GLIBC that don't care about VFs simply will not, and therefore won't be busted by the mere presence of VFs on a network device. Thanks to the tireless work of Greg Rose on this fix. * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net: (53 commits) sfc: Fix assignment of ip_summed for pre-allocated skbs ppp: fix 'ppp_mp_reconstruct bad seq' errors enic: Fix endianness bug. gre: fix spelling in comments netfilter: ctnetlink: fix soft lockup when netlink adds new entries (v2) Revert "netfilter: ctnetlink: fix soft lockup when netlink adds new entries" davinci_emac: Do not free all rx dma descriptors during init mlx4_core: Fixing array indexes when setting port types phy: IC+101G and PHY_HAS_INTERRUPT flag netdev/phy/icplus: Correct broken phy_init code ipsec: be careful of non existing mac headers Move Logitech Harmony 900 from cdc_ether to zaurus hso: memsetting wrong data in hso_get_count() netfilter: ip6_route_output() never returns NULL. ethernet/broadcom: ip6_route_output() never returns NULL. ipv6: ip6_route_output() never returns NULL. jme: Fix FIFO flush issue atm: clip: remove clip_tbl ipv4: ping: Fix recvmsg MSG_OOB error handling. rtnetlink: Fix problem with buffer allocation ...

The autofs compat handling fix caused a compile failure when CONFIG_COMPAT isn't defined. Instead of adding random #ifdef'fery in autofs, let's just make the compat helpers earlier to use: without CONFIG_COMPAT, is_compat_task() just hardcodes to zero. We could probably do something similar for a number of other cases where we have #ifdef's in code, but this is the low-hanging fruit.
