* [PATCH] fix lockdep-design.txtAneesh Kumar2006-10-111-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I was looking at lockdep-desing.txt and i guess i am confused with the changes with respect to fd7bcea35e7efb108c34ee2b3840942a3749cadb. It says + '.' acquired while irqs enabled + '+' acquired in irq context + '-' acquired in process context with irqs disabled + '?' read-acquired both with irqs enabled and in irq context + But the get_usage_chars() function does this for '-' if (class->usage_mask & LOCKF_ENABLED_HARDIRQS) *c1 = '-'; So i guess what would be correct would be '.' acquired while irqs disabled '+' acquired in irq context '-' acquired with irqs enabled '?' read acquired in irq context with irqs enabled.

* [PATCH] document the core-dump-to-a-pipe patchMatthias Urlichs2006-10-111-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The pipe-a-coredump-to-a-program feature was undocumented. *Grumble*. NB: a good enhancement to that patch would be: save all the stuff that a core file can get from the %x expansions in the environment.

Instead, it adds adds a flag rcu_ctrlblk.signaled, which records the fact that one of CPUs has sent a resched IPI since the last rcu_start_batch(). Roughly speaking, we need two rcu_start_batch()s in order to move callbacks from ->nxtlist to ->donelist. This means that when ->qlen exceeds qhimark and continues to grow, we should send a resched IPI, and then do it again after we gone through a quiescent state. On the other hand, if it was already sent, we don't need to do it again when another CPU detects overflow of the queue. Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@tv-sign.ru> Acked-by: Paul E.

SRCU is as follows: o Each use of SRCU creates its own srcu_struct, and each srcu_struct has its own set of grace periods. This is critical, as it prevents one subsystem with a blocking reader from holding up SRCU grace periods for other subsystems. o The SRCU primitives (srcu_read_lock(), srcu_read_unlock(), and synchronize_srcu()) all take a pointer to a srcu_struct. o The SRCU primitives must be called from process context. o srcu_read_lock() returns an int that must be passed to the matching srcu_read_unlock(). Realtime RCU avoids the need for this by storing the state in the task struct, but SRCU needs to allow a given code path to pass through multiple SRCU domains -- storing state in the task struct would therefore require either arbitrary space in the task struct or arbitrary limits on SRCU nesting. So I kicked the state-storage problem up to the caller. Of course, it is not permitted to call synchronize_srcu() while in an SRCU read-side critical section. o There is no call_srcu(). It would not be hard to implement one, but it seems like too easy a way to OOM the system. (Hey, we have enough trouble with call_rcu(), which does -not- permit readers to sleep!!!) So, if you want it, please tell me why... [josht@us.ibm.com: sparse notation] Signed-off-by: Paul E.
