* move proc_kmsg_operations to fs/proc/internal.hAdrian Bunk2008-07-253-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | This patch moves the extern of struct proc_kmsg_operations to fs/proc/internal.h and adds an #include "internal.h" to fs/proc/kmsg.c so that the latter sees the former.

* ipc: do not use a negative value to re-enable msgmni automatic recomputingNadia Derbey2008-07-253-19/+76
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch proposes an alternative to the "magical positive-versus-negative number trick" Andrew complained about last week in http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/6/24/418. This had been introduced with the patches that scale msgmni to the amount of lowmem. With these patches, msgmni has a registered notification routine that recomputes msgmni value upon memory add/remove or ipc namespace creation/ removal. When msgmni is changed from user space (i.e. value written to the proc file), that notification routine is unregistered, and the way to make it registered back is to write a negative value into the proc file. This is the "magical positive-versus-negative number trick". To fix this, a new proc file is introduced: /proc/sys/kernel/auto_msgmni. This file acts as ON/OFF for msgmni automatic recomputing. With this patch, the process is the following: 1) kernel boots in "automatic recomputing mode" /proc/sys/kernel/msgmni contains the value that has been computed (depends on lowmem) /proc/sys/kernel/automatic_msgmni contains "1" 2) echo <val> > /proc/sys/kernel/msgmni . sets msg_ctlmni to <val> . de-activates automatic recomputing (i.e. if, say, some memory is added msgmni won't be recomputed anymore) . /proc/sys/kernel/automatic_msgmni now contains "0" 3) echo "0" > /proc/sys/kernel/automatic_msgmni . de-activates msgmni automatic recomputing this has the same effect as 2) except that msg_ctlmni's value stays blocked at its current value) 3) echo "1" > /proc/sys/kernel/automatic_msgmni . recomputes msgmni's value based on the current available memory size and number of ipc namespaces . re-activates automatic recomputing for msgmni.

* ipc/sem.c: rewrite undo list lockingManfred Spraul2008-07-252-55/+98
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The attached patch: - reverses the locking order of ulp->lock and sem_lock: Previously, it was first ulp->lock, then inside sem_lock. Now it's the other way around. - converts the undo structure to rcu. Benefits: - With the old locking order, IPC_RMID could not kfree the undo structures. The stale entries remained in the linked lists and were released later. - The patch fixes a a race in semtimedop(): if both IPC_RMID and a semget() that recreates exactly the same id happen between find_alloc_undo() and sem_lock, then semtimedop() would access already kfree'd memory.

* idr: change the idr structureNadia Derbey2008-07-251-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After scalability problems have been detected when using the sysV ipcs, I have proposed to use an RCU based implementation of the IDR api instead (see threads http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/4/11/212 and http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/4/29/295). This resulted in many people asking to convert the idr API and make it rcu safe (because most of the code was duplicated and thus unmaintanable and unreviewable). So here is a first attempt. The important change wrt to the idr API itself is during idr removes: idr layers are freed after a grace period, instead of being moved to the free list. The important change wrt to ipcs, is that idr_find() can now be called locklessly inside a rcu read critical section. Here are the results I've got for the pmsg test sent by Manfred: 2.6.25-rc3-mm1 2.6.25-rc3-mm1+ 2.6.25-mm1 Patched 2.6.25-mm1 1 1168441 1064021 876000 947488 2 1094264 921059 1549592 1730685 3 2082520 1738165 1694370 2324880 4 2079929 1695521 404553 2400408 5 2898758 406566 391283 3246580 6 2921417 261275 263249 3752148 7 3308761 126056 191742 4243142 8 3329456 100129 141722 4275780 1st column: stock 2.6.25-rc3-mm1 2nd column: 2.6.25-rc3-mm1 + ipc patches (store ipcs into idrs) 3nd column: stock 2.6.25-mm1 4th column: 2.6.25-mm1 + this pacth series.

* calgary iommu: use the first kernels TCE tables in kdumpChandru2008-07-252-6/+87
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | kdump kernel fails to boot with calgary iommu and aacraid driver on a x366 box. The ongoing dma's of aacraid from the first kernel continue to exist until the driver is loaded in the kdump kernel. Calgary is initialized prior to aacraid and creation of new tce tables causes wrong dma's to occur. Here we try to get the tce tables of the first kernel in kdump kernel and use them. While in the kdump kernel we do not allocate new tce tables but instead read the base address register contents of calgary iommu and use the tables that the registers point to. With these changes the kdump kernel and hence aacraid now boots normally.

* workqueues: do CPU_UP_CANCELED if CPU_UP_PREPARE failsOleg Nesterov2008-07-251-3/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The bug was pointed out by Akinobu Mita <akinobu.mita@gmail.com>, and this patch is based on his original patch. workqueue_cpu_callback(CPU_UP_PREPARE) expects that if it returns NOTIFY_BAD, _cpu_up() will send CPU_UP_CANCELED then. However, this is not true since "cpu hotplug: cpu: deliver CPU_UP_CANCELED only to NOTIFY_OKed callbacks with CPU_UP_PREPARE" commit: a0d8cdb652d35af9319a9e0fb7134de2a276c636 The callback which has returned NOTIFY_BAD will not receive CPU_UP_CANCELED. Change the code to fulfil the CPU_UP_CANCELED logic if CPU_UP_PREPARE fails.
