Hitoshi Mitake 620162505e lockdep: Add improved subclass caching
Current lockdep_map only caches one class with subclass == 0,
and looks up hash table of classes when subclass != 0.

It seems that this has no problem because the case of
subclass != 0 is rare. But locks of struct rq are
acquired with subclass == 1 when task migration is executed.
Task migration is high frequent event, so I modified lockdep
to cache subclasses.

I measured the score of perf bench sched messaging.
This patch has slightly but certain (order of milli seconds
or 10 milli seconds) effect when lots of tasks are running.
I'll show the result in the tail of this description.

NR_LOCKDEP_CACHING_CLASSES specifies how many classes can be
cached in the instances of lockdep_map.
I discussed with Peter Zijlstra in LinuxCon Japan about
this approach and he taught me that caching every subclasses(8)
is cleary waste of memory. So number of cached classes
should be configurable.

=== Score comparison of benchmarks ===
# "min" means best score, and "max" means worst score

for i in `seq 1 10`; do ./perf bench -f simple sched messaging; done

before: min: 0.565000, max: 0.583000, avg: 0.572500
after:  min: 0.559000, max: 0.568000, avg: 0.563300

# with more processes
for i in `seq 1 10`; do ./perf bench -f simple sched messaging -g 40; done

before: min: 2.274000, max: 2.298000, avg: 2.286300
after:  min: 2.242000, max: 2.270000, avg: 2.259700

2010-10-17 09:38:08 -07:00
Clemens Ladisch aa73aec6c3 ALSA: rawmidi: fix oops (use after free) when unloading a driver module
When a driver module is unloaded and the last still open file is a raw
MIDI device, the card and its devices will be actually freed in the
snd_card_file_remove() call when that file is closed.  Afterwards, rmidi
and rmidi->card point into freed memory, so the module pointer is likely
to be garbage.
(This was introduced by commit 9a1b64caac82aa02cb74587ffc798e6f42c6170a.)

Kyle McMartin 99d6734f3c m32r: restore _BLOCKABLE
Commit a7f8388e accidentally removed it... Al explains:

  "Sorry, reordering breakage.  In the signals tree here I have

   static inline void sig_set_blocked(struct sigset_t *set)
   ...

   and it's used all over the place (including quite a few places where
   we currently have sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK, set, NULL), which is what
   it's equivalent to).  With that done, m32r doesn't use _BLOCKABLE
   anywhere, so it got removed.  And that chunk got picked when I'd been
   reordering the queue to pull the arch-specific fixes in front.
   Sorry."

Eric Paris 79b5dc0c64 types.h: define __aligned_u64 and expose to userspace
We currently have a kernel internal type called aligned_u64 which aligns
__u64's on 8 bytes boundaries even on systems which would normally align
them on 4 byte boundaries.  This patch creates a new type __aligned_u64
which does the same thing but which is exposed to userspace rather than
being kernel internal.

[akpm: merge early as both the net and audit trees want this]

[akpm@linux-foundation.org: enhance the comment describing the reasons for using aligned_u64.  Via Andreas and Andi.]

sysctl check complains with a WARN() when proc_doulongvec_minmax() or
proc_doulongvec_ms_jiffies_minmax() are used by a vector of longs (with

This is unexpected, given we had a bug on this min/max handling :)

2010-10-15 10:18:36 -07:00
Ohad Ben-Cohen 1c8cf9c997 mmc: sdio: fix SDIO suspend/resume regression
Fix SDIO suspend/resume regression introduced by 4c2ef25fe0 "mmc: fix
all hangs related to mmc/sd card insert/removal during suspend/resume":

  PM: Syncing filesystems ... done.
  Freezing user space processes ... (elapsed 0.01 seconds) done.
  Freezing remaining freezable tasks ... (elapsed 0.01 seconds) done.
  Suspending console(s) (use no_console_suspend to debug)
  pm_op(): platform_pm_suspend+0x0/0x5c returns -38
  PM: Device pxa2xx-mci.0 failed to suspend: error -38
  PM: Some devices failed to suspend

4c2ef25fe0 moved the card removal/insertion mechanism out of MMC's
suspend/resume path and into pm notifiers (mmc_pm_notify), and that
broke SDIO's expectation that mmc_suspend_host() will remove the card,
and squash the error, in case -ENOSYS is returned from the bus suspend
handler (mmc_sdio_suspend() in this case).

mmc_sdio_suspend() is using this whenever at least one of the card's SDIO
function drivers does not have suspend/resume handlers - in that case
it is agreed to force removal of the entire card.

This patch fixes this regression by trivially bringing back that part of
mmc_suspend_host(), which was removed by 4c2ef25fe0.

Tejun Heo 47526903fe ubd: fix incorrect sector handling during request restart
Commit f81f2f7c (ubd: drop unnecessary rq->sector manipulation)
dropped request->sector manipulation in preparation for global request
handling cleanup; unfortunately, it incorrectly assumed that the
updated sector wasn't being used.

ubd tries to issue as many requests as possible to io_thread.  When
issuing fails due to memory pressure or other reasons, the device is
put on the restart list and issuing stops.  On IO completion, devices
on the restart list are scanned and IO issuing is restarted.

ubd issues IOs sg-by-sg and issuing can be stopped in the middle of a
request, so each device on the restart queue needs to remember where
to restart in its current request.  ubd needs to keep track of the
issue position itself because,

* blk_rq_pos(req) is now updated by the block layer to keep track of
  _completion_ position.

* Multiple io_req's for the current request may be in flight, so it's
  difficult to tell where blk_rq_pos(req) currently is.

Add ubd->rq_pos to keep track of the issue position and use it to
correctly restart io_req issue.

Linus Torvalds 3aa0ce825a Un-inline the core-dump helper functions
Tony Luck reports that the addition of the access_ok() check in commit
0eead9ab41 ("Don't dump task struct in a.out core-dumps") broke the
ia64 compile due to missing the necessary header file includes.

Rather than add yet another include (<asm/unistd.h>) to make everything
happy, just uninline the silly core dump helper functions and move the
bodies to fs/exec.c where they make a lot more sense.

dump_seek() in particular was too big to be an inline function anyway,
and none of them are in any way performance-critical.  And we really
don't need to mess up our include file headers more than they already
are.

Linus Torvalds 0eead9ab41 Don't dump task struct in a.out core-dumps
akiphie points out that a.out core-dumps have that odd task struct
dumping that was never used and was never really a good idea (it goes
back into the mists of history, probably the original core-dumping
code).  Just remove it.

Also do the access_ok() check on dump_write().  It probably doesn't
matter (since normal filesystems all seem to do it anyway), but he
points out that it's normally done by the VFS layer, so ...

[ I suspect that we should possibly do "vfs_write()" instead of
  calling ->write directly.  That also does the whole fsnotify and write
  statistics thing, which may or may not be a good idea. ]

And just to be anal, do this all for the x86-64 32-bit a.out emulation
code too, even though it's not enabled (and won't currently even
compile)
