      [PATCH] fdtable: Remove the free_files field · 4fd45812
      Vadim Lobanov 提交于
      An fdtable can either be embedded inside a files_struct or standalone (after
      being expanded).  When an fdtable is being discarded after all RCU references
      to it have expired, we must either free it directly, in the standalone case,
      or free the files_struct it is contained within, in the embedded case.
      
      Currently the free_files field controls this behavior, but we can get rid of
      it entirely, as all the necessary information is already recorded.  We can
      distinguish embedded and standalone fdtables using max_fds, and if it is
      embedded we can divine the relevant files_struct using container_of().

      [PATCH] fdtable: Make fdarray and fdsets equal in size · bbea9f69
      Vadim Lobanov 提交于
      Currently, each fdtable supports three dynamically-sized arrays of data: the
      fdarray and two fdsets.  The code allows the number of fds supported by the
      fdarray (fdtable->max_fds) to differ from the number of fds supported by each
      of the fdsets (fdtable->max_fdset).
      
      In practice, it is wasteful for these two sizes to differ: whenever we hit a
      limit on the smaller-capacity structure, we will reallocate the entire fdtable
      and all the dynamic arrays within it, so any delta in the memory used by the
      larger-capacity structure will never be touched at all.
      
      Rather than hogging this excess, we shouldn't even allocate it in the first
      place, and keep the capacities of the fdarray and the fdsets equal.  This
      patch removes fdtable->max_fdset.  As an added bonus, most of the supporting
      code becomes simpler.

      [PATCH] taskstats_tgid_free: fix usage · 093a8e8a
      Oleg Nesterov 提交于
      taskstats_tgid_free() is called on copy_process's error path. This is wrong.
      
      	IF (clone_flags & CLONE_THREAD)
      		We should not clear ->signal->taskstats, current uses it,
      		it probably has a valid accumulated info.
      	ELSE
      		taskstats_tgid_init() set ->signal->taskstats = NULL,
      		there is nothing to free.
      
      Move the callsite to __exit_signal(). We don't need any locking, entire
      thread group is exiting, nobody should have a reference to soon to be
      released ->signal.

      [PATCH] per-task delay accounting taskstats interface: control exit data through cpumasks · f9fd8914
      Shailabh Nagar 提交于
      On systems with a large number of cpus, with even a modest rate of tasks
      exiting per cpu, the volume of taskstats data sent on thread exit can
      overflow a userspace listener's buffers.
      
      One approach to avoiding overflow is to allow listeners to get data for a
      limited and specific set of cpus.  By scaling the number of listeners
      and/or the cpus they monitor, userspace can handle the statistical data
      overload more gracefully.
      
      In this patch, each listener registers to listen to a specific set of cpus
      by specifying a cpumask.  The interest is recorded per-cpu.  When a task
      exits on a cpu, its taskstats data is unicast to each listener interested
      in that cpu.
      
      Thanks to Andrew Morton for pointing out the various scalability and
      general concerns of previous attempts and for suggesting this design.

      [PATCH] delay accounting taskstats interface send tgid once · ad4ecbcb
      Shailabh Nagar 提交于
      Send per-tgid data only once during exit of a thread group instead of once
      with each member thread exit.
      
      Currently, when a thread exits, besides its per-tid data, the per-tgid data
      of its thread group is also sent out, if its thread group is non-empty.
      The per-tgid data sent consists of the sum of per-tid stats for all
      *remaining* threads of the thread group.
      
      This patch modifies this sending in two ways:
      
      - the per-tgid data is sent only when the last thread of a thread group
        exits.  This cuts down heavily on the overhead of sending/receiving
        per-tgid data, especially when other exploiters of the taskstats
        interface aren't interested in per-tgid stats
      
      - the semantics of the per-tgid data sent are changed.  Instead of being
        the sum of per-tid data for remaining threads, the value now sent is the
        true total accumalated statistics for all threads that are/were part of
        the thread group.
      
      The patch also addresses a minor issue where failure of one accounting
      subsystem to fill in the taskstats structure was causing the send of
      taskstats to not be sent at all.
      
      The patch has been tested for stability and run cerberus for over 4 hours
      on an SMP.

      [PATCH] per-task-delay-accounting: taskstats interface · c757249a
      Shailabh Nagar 提交于
      Create a "taskstats" interface based on generic netlink (NETLINK_GENERIC
      family), for getting statistics of tasks and thread groups during their
      lifetime and when they exit.  The interface is intended for use by multiple
      accounting packages though it is being created in the context of delay
      accounting.
      
      This patch creates the interface without populating the fields of the data
      that is sent to the user in response to a command or upon the exit of a task.
      Each accounting package interested in using taskstats has to provide an
      additional patch to add its stats to the common structure.

      [PATCH] lockdep: better lock debugging · 9a11b49a
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      Generic lock debugging:
      
       - generalized lock debugging framework. For example, a bug in one lock
         subsystem turns off debugging in all lock subsystems.
      
       - got rid of the caller address passing (__IP__/__IP_DECL__/etc.) from
         the mutex/rtmutex debugging code: it caused way too much prototype
         hackery, and lockdep will give the same information anyway.
      
       - ability to do silent tests
      
       - check lock freeing in vfree too.
      
       - more finegrained debugging options, to allow distributions to
         turn off more expensive debugging features.
      
      There's no separate 'held mutexes' list anymore - but there's a 'held locks'
      stack within lockdep, which unifies deadlock detection across all lock
      classes.  (this is independent of the lockdep validation stuff - lockdep first
      checks whether we are holding a lock already)
      
      Here are the current debugging options:
      
      CONFIG_DEBUG_MUTEXES=y
      CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC=y
      
      which do:
      
       config DEBUG_MUTEXES
                bool "Mutex debugging, basic checks"
      
       config DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC
               bool "Detect incorrect freeing of live mutexes"
