Linus found a logic bug: we ignore the version number in a module's vermagic string if we have CONFIG_MODVERSIONS set, but modversions also lets through a module with no __versions section for modprobe --force (with tainting, but still). We should only ignore the start of the vermagic string if the module actually *has* crcs to check. Rather than (say) having an entertaining hissy fit and creating a config option to work around the buggy code. Signed-off-by:

We allow missing __versions sections, because modprobe --force strips it. It makes less sense to allow sections where there's no version for a specific symbol the module uses, so disallow that. Signed-off-by:

Don't allow a module built without versions altogether to be inserted into a kernel which expects modversions. modprobe --force will strip vermagic as well as modversions, so it won't be effected, but this will make sure that a non-CONFIG_MODVERSIONS module won't be accidentally inserted into a CONFIG_MODVERSIONS kernel.

Due to a merge conflict, the sched_relax_domain_level control file was marked as being handled by cpuset_read/write_u64, but the code to handle it was actually in cpuset_common_file_read/write. Since the value being written/read is in fact a signed integer, it should be treated as such; this patch adds cpuset_read/write_s64 functions, and uses them to handle the sched_relax_domain_level file. With this patch, the sched_relax_domain_level can be read and written, and the correct contents seen/updated. Signed-off-by:

Yanmin Zhang reported: | Comparing with kernel 2.6.25, AIM7 (use tmpfs) has more th | regression under 2.6.26-rc1 on my 8-core stoakley, 16-core tigerton, | and Itanium Montecito. Bisect located the patch below: | | 64ac24e7 is first bad commit | commit 64ac24e7 | Author: Matthew Wilcox <matthew@wil.cx> | Date: Fri Mar 7 21:55:58 2008 -0500 | | Generic semaphore implementation | | After I manually reverted the patch against 2.6.26-rc1 while fixing | lots of conflicts/errors, aim7 regression became less than 2%. i reproduced the AIM7 workload and can confirm Yanmin's findings that -.26-rc1 regresses over .25 - by over 67% here. Looking at the workload i found and fixed what i believe to be the real bug causing the AIM7 regression: it was inefficient wakeup / scheduling / locking behavior of the new generic semaphore code, causing suboptimal performance. The problem comes from the following code. The new semaphore code does this on down(): spin_lock_irqsave(&sem->lock, flags); if (likely(sem->count > 0)) sem->count--; else __down(sem); spin_unlock_irqrestore(&sem->lock, flags); and this on up(): spin_lock_irqsave(&sem->lock, flags); if (likely(list_empty(&sem->wait_list))) sem->count++; else __up(sem); spin_unlock_irqrestore(&sem->lock, flags); where __up() does: list_del(&waiter->list); waiter->up = 1; wake_up_process(waiter->task); and where __down() does this in essence: list_add_tail(&waiter.list, &sem->wait_list); waiter.task = task; waiter.up = 0; for (;;) { [...] spin_unlock_irq(&sem->lock); timeout = schedule_timeout(timeout); spin_lock_irq(&sem->lock); if (waiter.up) return 0; } the fastpath looks good and obvious, but note the following property of the contended path: if there's a task on the ->wait_list, the up() of the current owner will "pass over" ownership to that waiting task, in a wake-one manner, via the waiter->up flag and by removing the waiter from the wait list. That is all and fine in principle, but as implemented in kernel/semaphore.c it also creates a nasty, hidden source of contention! The contention comes from the following property of the new semaphore code: the new owner owns the semaphore exclusively, even if it is not running yet. So if the old owner, even if just a few instructions later, does a down() [lock_kernel()] again, it will be blocked and will have to wait on the new owner to eventually be scheduled (possibly on another CPU)! Or if another task gets to lock_kernel() sooner than the "new owner" scheduled, it will be blocked unnecessarily and for a very long time when there are 2000 tasks running. I.e. the implementation of the new semaphores code does wake-one and lock ownership in a very restrictive way - it does not allow opportunistic re-locking of the lock at all and keeps the scheduler from picking task order intelligently. This kind of scheduling, with 2000 AIM7 processes running, creates awful cross-scheduling between those 2000 tasks, causes reduced parallelism, a throttled runqueue length and a lot of idle time. With increasing number of CPUs it causes an exponentially worse behavior in AIM7, as the chance for a newly woken new-owner task to actually run anytime soon is less and less likely. Note that it takes just a tiny bit of contention for the 'new-semaphore catastrophy' to happen: the wakeup latencies get added to whatever small contention there is, and quickly snowball out of control! I believe Yanmin's findings and numbers support this analysis too. The best fix for this problem is to use the same scheduling logic that the kernel/mutex.c code uses: keep the wake-one behavior (that is OK and wanted because we do not want to over-schedule), but also allow opportunistic locking of the lock even if a wakee is already "in flight". The patch below implements this new logic. With this patch applied the AIM7 regression is largely fixed on my quad testbox: # v2.6.25 vanilla: .................. Tasks Jobs/Min JTI Real CPU Jobs/sec/task 2000 56096.4 91 207.5 789.7 0.4675 2000 55894.4 94 208.2 792.7 0.4658 # v2.6.26-rc1-166-gc0a18111 vanilla: ...................................

We are now back to within 1% of the v2.6.25 performance levels and have zero idle time during the test, as expected. Btw., interactivity also improved dramatically with the fix - for example console-switching became almost instantaneous during this workload (which after all is running 2000 tasks at once!), without the patch it was stuck for a minute at times. There's another nice side-effect of this speedup patch, the new generic semaphore code got even smaller: text data bss dec hex filename 1241 0 0 1241 4d9 semaphore.o.before 1207 0 0 1207 4b7 semaphore.o.after (because the waiter.up complication got removed.) Longer-term we should look into using the mutex code for the generic semaphore code as well - but i's not easy due to legacies and it's outside of the scope of v2.6.26 and outside the scope of this patch as well.

The second one fixes a debug printout, AT91_SSC_IER is write only, AT91_SSC_IMR is readable (the printed string actually says imr).

When a net namespace is destroyed, some devices (those, not killed on ns stop explicitly) are moved back to init_net. The problem, is that this net_ns change has one point of failure - the __dev_alloc_name() may be called if a name collision occurs (and this is easy to trigger). This allocator performs a likely-to-fail GFP_ATOMIC allocation to find a suitable number. Other possible conditions that may cause error (for device being ns local or not registered) are always false in this case. So, when this call fails, the device is unregistered. But this is *not* the right thing to do, since after this the device may be released (and kfree-ed) improperly. E. g. bridges require more actions (sysfs update, timer disarming, etc.), some other devices want to remove their private areas from lists, etc. I. e. arbitrary use-after-free cases may occur. The proposed fix is the following: since the only reason for the dev_change_net_namespace to fail is the name generation, we may give it a unique fall-back name w/o %d-s in it - the dev<ifindex> one, since ifindexes are still unique. So make this change, raise the failure-case printk loglevel to EMERG and replace the unregister_netdevice call with BUG(). [ Use snprintf() -DaveM ] Signed-off-by:
