This allows us to significantly reduce the scope of headers including headers. For this instance, a reduction of about 40% is achieved by replacing the include with the simple fact that the device is some kind of a struct. Unlike the much larger module.h cleanup, this one is simply two commits. One to fix the implicit <linux/device.h> users, and then one to delete the device.h includes from the linux/include/ dir wherever possible." * tag 'device-for-3.4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulg/linux: device.h: audit and cleanup users in main include dir device.h: cleanup users outside of linux/include (C files)

Clean up the users as follows: 1) For those headers only needing "struct device" as a pointer in fcn args, replace the include with exactly that. 2) For headers not really using anything from device.h, simply delete the include altogether. 3) For headers relying on getting device.h implicitly before being included themselves, now explicitly include device.h 4) For files in which doing #1 or #2 uncovers an implicit dependency on some other header, fix by explicitly adding the required header(s). Any C files that were implicitly relying on device.h to be present have already been dealt with in advance. Total removals from #1 and #2: 51. Total additions coming from #3: 9. Total other implicit dependencies from #4: 7. As of 3.3-rc1, there were 110, so a net removal of 42 gives about a 38% reduction in device.h presence in include/* Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker <paul.gortmaker@windriver.com>

The sysdev drivers are implemented as subsystem interfaces now. After all sysdev classes are ported to regular driver core entities, the sysdev implementation will be entirely removed from the kernel. Userspace relies on events and generic sysfs subsystem infrastructure from sysdev devices, which are made available with this conversion.

* | driver-core/cpu: Expose hotpluggability to the rest of the kernelJosh Triplett2011-12-111-0/+1
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When architectures register CPUs, they indicate whether the CPU allows hotplugging; notably, x86 and ARM don't allow hotplugging CPU 0. Userspace can easily query the hotpluggability of a CPU via sysfs; however, the kernel has no convenient way of accessing that property in an architecture-independent way. While the kernel can simply try it and see, some code needs to distinguish between "hotplug failed" and "hotplug has no hope of working on this CPU"; for example, rcutorture's CPU hotplug tests want to avoid drowning out real hotplug failures with expected failures. Expose this property via a new cpu_is_hotpluggable function, so that the rest of the kernel can access it in an architecture-independent way.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We presently define all kinds of notifiers in notifier.h. This is not necessary at all, since different subsystems use different notifiers, they are almost non-related with each other. This can also save much build time. Suppose I add a new netdevice event, really I don't have to recompile all the source, just network related. Without this patch, all the source will be recompiled. I move the notify events near to their subsystem notifier registers, so that they can be found more easily. This patch: It is not necessary to share the same notifier.h.

* workqueue: reimplement CPU hotplugging support using trusteeTejun Heo2010-06-291-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Reimplement CPU hotplugging support using trustee thread. On CPU down, a trustee thread is created and each step of CPU down is executed by the trustee and workqueue_cpu_callback() simply drives and waits for trustee state transitions. CPU down operation no longer waits for works to be drained but trustee sticks around till all pending works have been completed. If CPU is brought back up while works are still draining, workqueue_cpu_callback() tells trustee to step down and tell workers to rebind to the cpu. As it's difficult to tell whether cwqs are empty if it's freezing or frozen, trustee doesn't consider draining to be complete while a gcwq is freezing or frozen (tracked by new GCWQ_FREEZING flag). Also, workers which get unbound from their cpu are marked with WORKER_ROGUE. Trustee based implementation doesn't bring any new feature at this point but it will be used to manage worker pool when dynamic shared worker pool is implemented.

* sched: adjust when cpu_active and cpuset configurations are updated during ↵Tejun Heo2010-06-081-0/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | cpu on/offlining Currently, when a cpu goes down, cpu_active is cleared before CPU_DOWN_PREPARE starts and cpuset configuration is updated from a default priority cpu notifier. When a cpu is coming up, it's set before CPU_ONLINE but cpuset configuration again is updated from the same cpu notifier. For cpu notifiers, this presents an inconsistent state. Threads which a CPU_DOWN_PREPARE notifier expects to be bound to the CPU can be migrated to other cpus because the cpu is no more inactive. Fix it by updating cpu_active in the highest priority cpu notifier and cpuset configuration in the second highest when a cpu is coming up. Down path is updated similarly. This guarantees that all other cpu notifiers see consistent cpu_active and cpuset configuration. cpuset_track_online_cpus() notifier is converted to cpuset_update_active_cpus() which just updates the configuration and now called from cpuset_cpu_[in]active() notifiers registered from sched_init_smp(). If cpuset is disabled, cpuset_update_active_cpus() degenerates into partition_sched_domains() making separate notifier for !CONFIG_CPUSETS unnecessary. This problem is triggered by cmwq. During CPU_DOWN_PREPARE, hotplug callback creates a kthread and kthread_bind()s it to the target cpu, and the thread is expected to run on that cpu. * Ingo's test discovered __cpuinit/exit markups were incorrect.

* powerpc/pseries: Serialize cpu hotplug operations during deactivate Vs ↵Gautham R Shenoy2009-12-091-0/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | deallocate Currently the cpu-allocation/deallocation process comprises of two steps: - Set the indicators and to update the device tree with DLPAR node information. - Online/offline the allocated/deallocated CPU. This is achieved by writing to the sysfs tunables "probe" during allocation and "release" during deallocation. At the sametime, the userspace can independently online/offline the CPUs of the system using the sysfs tunable "online". It is quite possible that when a userspace tool offlines a CPU for the purpose of deallocation and is in the process of updating the device tree, some other userspace tool could bring the CPU back online by writing to the "online" sysfs tunable thereby causing the deallocate process to fail. The solution to this is to serialize writes to the "probe/release" sysfs tunable with the writes to the "online" sysfs tunable. This patch employs a mutex to provide this serialization, which is a no-op on all architectures except PPC_PSERIES Signed-off-by: Gautham R Shenoy <ego@in.ibm.com> Acked-by: Vaidyanathan Srinivasan <svaidy@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
* sysfs/cpu: Add probe/release filesNathan Fontenot2009-12-091-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Version 3 of this patch is updated with documentation added to Documentation/ABI. There are no changes to any of the C code from v2 of the patch. In order to support kernel DLPAR of CPU resources we need to provide an interface to add (probe) and remove (release) the resource from the system. This patch Creates new generic probe and release sysfs files to facilitate cpu probe/release. The probe/release interface provides for allowing each arch to supply their own routines for implementing the backend of adding and removing cpus to/from the system. This also creates the powerpc specific stubs to handle the arch callouts from writes to the sysfs files. The creation and use of these files is regulated by the CONFIG_ARCH_CPU_PROBE_RELEASE option so that only architectures that need the capability will have the files created.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | SLAB uses get/put_online_cpus() which use a mutex which is itself only initialized when cpu_hotplug_init() is called. Currently we hang suring boot in SLAB due to doing that too late. Reported by James Bottomley and Sachin Sant (and possibly others). Debugged by Benjamin Herrenschmidt.

The functions disable_nonboot_cpus() and enable_nonboot_cpus() are moved to kernel/cpu.c, because they now refer to some stuff in there that should better be static. Also it's better if disable_nonboot_cpus() returns an error instead of panicking if something goes wrong, and enable_nonboot_cpus() has no reason to panic(), because the CPUs may have been enabled by the userland before it tries to take them online.

* cpu hotplug: simplify and hopefully fix lockingLinus Torvalds2006-07-231-6/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The CPU hotplug locking was quite messy, with a recursive lock to handle the fact that both the actual up/down sequence wanted to protect itself from being re-entered, but the callbacks that it called also tended to want to protect themselves from CPU events. This splits the lock into two (one to serialize the whole hotplug sequence, the other to protect against the CPU present bitmaps changing). The latter still allows recursive usage because some subsystems (ondemand policy for cpufreq at least) had already gotten too used to the lax locking, but the locking mistakes are hopefully now less fundamental, and we now warn about recursive lock usage when we see it, in the hope that it can be fixed.

* [PATCH] node hotplug: register cpu: remove node structKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki2006-06-271-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With Goto-san's patch, we can add new pgdat/node at runtime. I'm now considering node-hot-add with cpu + memory on ACPI. I found acpi container, which describes node, could evaluate cpu before memory. This means cpu-hot-add occurs before memory hot add. In most part, cpu-hot-add doesn't depend on node hot add. But register_cpu(), which creates symbolic link from node to cpu, requires that node should be onlined before register_cpu(). When a node is onlined, its pgdat should be there. This patch-set holds off creating symbolic link from node to cpu until node is onlined. This removes node arguments from register_cpu(). Now, register_cpu() requires 'struct node' as its argument. But the array of struct node is now unified in driver/base/node.c now (By Goto's node hotplug patch). We can get struct node in generic way. So, this argument is not necessary now. This patch also guarantees add cpu under node only when node is onlined. It is necessary for node-hot-add vs. cpu-hot-add patch following this. Moreover, register_cpu calculates cpu->node_id by cpu_to_node() without regard to its 'struct node *root' argument. This patch removes it. Also modify callers of register_cpu()/unregister_cpu, whose args are changed by register-cpu-remove-node-struct patch.

The lock is already held during cpu_up() and cpu_down() calls when the notify calls are broadcast to registered clients. Ideally if possible, we could disable_preempt() at the highest caller and make sure we dont sleep in the path down in cpufreq->driver_target() calls but the calls are so intertwined and cumbersome to cleanup. Hence we consistently use lock_cpu_hotplug() and unlock_cpu_hotplug() in all places. - Removed export of cpucontrol semaphore and made it static. - removed explicit uses of up/down with lock_cpu_hotplug() so we can keep track of the the callers in same thread context and just keep refcounts without calling a down() that causes a deadlock. - Removed current_in_hotplug() uses - Removed PF_HOTPLUG_CPU in sched.h introduced for the current_in_hotplug() temporary workaround.
