Currently CPU_DEAD uses kthread_stop() to stop cwq->thread and then transfers cwq->worklist to another CPU. However, it is very unlikely that worker_thread() will notice kthread_should_stop() before flushing cwq->worklist. It is only possible if worker_thread() was preempted after run_workqueue(cwq), a new work_struct was added, and CPU_DEAD happened before cwq->thread has a chance to run. This means that take_over_work() mostly adds unneeded complications. Note also that kthread_stop() is not good per se, wake_up_process() may confuse work->func() if it sleeps waiting for some event. Remove take_over_work() and migrate_sequence complications. CPU_DEAD sets the cwq->should_stop flag (introduced by this patch) and waits for cwq->thread to flush cwq->worklist and exit. Because the dead CPU is not on cpu_online_map, no more works can be added to that cwq. cpu_populated_map was introduced to optimize for_each_possible_cpu(), it is not strictly needed, and it is more a documentation in fact. Saves 418 bytes.

Pointed out by Srivatsa Vaddagiri. cleanup_workqueue_thread() sets cwq->thread = NULL and does kthread_stop(). This breaks the "if (cwq->thread == current)" logic in flush_cpu_workqueue() and leads to deadlock. Kill the thead first, then clear cwq->thread. workqueue_mutex protects us from create_workqueue_thread() so we don't need cwq->lock.

Many thanks to Srivatsa Vaddagiri for the helpful discussion and for spotting the bug in my previous attempt. work->func() (and thus flush_workqueue()) must not use workqueue_mutex, this leads to deadlock when CPU_DEAD does kthread_stop(). However without this mutex held we can't detect CPU_DEAD in progress, which can move pending works to another CPU while the dead one is not on cpu_online_map. Change flush_workqueue() to use for_each_possible_cpu(). This means that flush_cpu_workqueue() may hit CPU which is already dead. However in that case !list_empty(&cwq->worklist) || cwq->current_work != NULL means that CPU_DEAD in progress, it will do kthread_stop() + take_over_work() so we can proceed and insert a barrier. We hold cwq->lock, so we are safe. Also, add migrate_sequence incremented by take_over_work() under cwq->lock. If take_over_work() happened before we checked this CPU, we should see the new value after spin_unlock(). Further possible changes: remove CPU_DEAD handling (along with take_over_work, migrate_sequence) from workqueue.c. CPU_DEAD just sets cwq->please_exit_after_flush flag. CPU_UP_PREPARE->create_workqueue_thread() clears this flag, and creates the new thread if cwq->thread == NULL. This way the workqueue/cpu-hotplug interaction is almost zero, workqueue_mutex just protects "workqueues" list, CPU_LOCK_ACQUIRE/CPU_LOCK_RELEASE go away.

This is an attempt to provide an alternate mechanism for postponing a hotplug event instead of using a global mechanism like lock_cpu_hotplug. The proposal is to add two new events namely CPU_LOCK_ACQUIRE and CPU_LOCK_RELEASE. The notification for these two events would be sent out before and after a cpu_hotplug event respectively. During the CPU_LOCK_ACQUIRE event, a cpu-hotplug-aware subsystem is supposed to acquire any per-subsystem hotcpu mutex ( Eg. workqueue_mutex in kernel/workqueue.c ). During the CPU_LOCK_RELEASE release event the cpu-hotplug-aware subsystem is supposed to release the per-subsystem hotcpu mutex. The reasons for defining new events as opposed to reusing the existing events like CPU_UP_PREPARE/CPU_UP_FAILED/CPU_ONLINE for locking/unlocking of per-subsystem hotcpu mutexes are as follow: - CPU_LOCK_ACQUIRE: All hotcpu mutexes are taken before subsystems start handling pre-hotplug events like CPU_UP_PREPARE/CPU_DOWN_PREPARE etc, thus ensuring a clean handling of these events. - CPU_LOCK_RELEASE: The hotcpu mutexes will be released only after all subsystems have handled post-hotplug events like CPU_DOWN_FAILED, CPU_DEAD,CPU_ONLINE etc thereby ensuring that there are no subsequent clashes amongst the interdependent subsystems after a cpu hotplugs. This patch also uses __raw_notifier_call chain in _cpu_up to take care of the dependency between the two consequetive calls to raw_notifier_call_chain.

Since 2.6.18-something, the community has been bugged by the problem to provide a clean and a stable mechanism to postpone a cpu-hotplug event as lock_cpu_hotplug was badly broken. This is another proposal towards solving that problem. This one is along the lines of the solution provided in kernel/workqueue.c Instead of having a global mechanism like lock_cpu_hotplug, we allow the subsytems to define their own per-subsystem hot cpu mutexes. These would be taken(released) where ever we are currently calling lock_cpu_hotplug(unlock_cpu_hotplug). Also, in the per-subsystem hotcpu callback function,we take this mutex before we handle any pre-cpu-hotplug events and release it once we finish handling the post-cpu-hotplug events. A standard means for doing this has been provided in [PATCH 2/4] and demonstrated in [PATCH 3/4]. The ordering of these per-subsystem mutexes might still prove to be a problem, but hopefully lockdep should help us get out of that muddle. The patch set to be applied against linux-2.6.19-rc5 is as follows: [PATCH 1/4] : Extend notifier_call_chain with an option to specify the number of notifications to be sent and also count the number of notifications actually sent. [PATCH 2/4] : Define events CPU_LOCK_ACQUIRE and CPU_LOCK_RELEASE and send out notifications for these in _cpu_up and _cpu_down. This would help us standardise the acquire and release of the subsystem locks in the hotcpu callback functions of these subsystems. [PATCH 3/4] : Eliminate lock_cpu_hotplug from kernel/sched.c. [PATCH 4/4] : In workqueue_cpu_callback function, acquire(release) the workqueue_mutex while handling CPU_LOCK_ACQUIRE(CPU_LOCK_RELEASE). If the per-subsystem-locking approach survives the test of time, we can expect a slow phasing out of lock_cpu_hotplug, which has not yet been eliminated in these patches :) This patch: Provide notifier_call_chain with an option to call only a specified number of notifiers and also record the number of call to notifiers made. The need for this enhancement was identified in the post entitled "Slab - Eliminate lock_cpu_hotplug from slab" (http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/10/28/92) by Ravikiran G Thirumalai and Andrew Morton. This patch adds two additional parameters to notifier_call_chain API namely - int nr_to_calls : Number of notifier_functions to be called. The don't care value is -1. - unsigned int *nr_calls : Records the total number of notifier_funtions called by notifier_call_chain. The don't care value is NULL.

A basic problem with flush_scheduled_work() is that it blocks behind _all_ presently-queued works, rather than just the work whcih the caller wants to flush. If the caller holds some lock, and if one of the queued work happens to want that lock as well then accidental deadlocks can occur. One example of this is the phy layer: it wants to flush work while holding rtnl_lock(). But if a linkwatch event happens to be queued, the phy code will deadlock because the linkwatch callback function takes rtnl_lock. So we implement a new function which will flush a *single* work - just the one which the caller wants to free up. Thus we avoid the accidental deadlocks which can arise from unrelated subsystems' callbacks taking shared locks. flush_work() non-blockingly dequeues the work_struct which we want to kill, then it waits for its handler to complete on all CPUs. Add ->current_work to the "struct cpu_workqueue_struct", it points to currently running "struct work_struct". When flush_work(work) detects ->current_work == work, it inserts a barrier at the _head_ of ->worklist (and thus right _after_ that work) and waits for completition. This means that the next work fired on that CPU will be this barrier, or another barrier queued by concurrent flush_work(), so the caller of flush_work() will be woken before any "regular" work has a chance to run. When wait_on_work() unlocks workqueue_mutex (or whatever we choose to protect against CPU hotplug), CPU may go away. But in that case take_over_work() will move a barrier we queued to another CPU, it will be fired sometime, and wait_on_work() will be woken. Actually, we are doing cleanup_workqueue_thread()->kthread_stop() before take_over_work(), so cwq->thread should complete its ->worklist (and thus the barrier), because currently we don't check kthread_should_stop() in run_workqueue(). But even if we did, everything should be ok.

Remove ->remove_sequence, ->insert_sequence, and ->work_done from struct cpu_workqueue_struct. To implement flush_workqueue() we can queue a barrier work on each CPU and wait for its completition. The barrier is queued under workqueue_mutex to ensure that per cpu wq->cpu_wq is alive, we drop this mutex before going to sleep. If CPU goes down while we are waiting for completition, take_over_work() will move the barrier on another CPU, and the handler will wake up us eventually.

Several drivers shared between AT91 and AVR32 chips use cpu_is_xxx() to handle CPU-specific differences. Currently, such code needs to be inside #ifdef CONFIG_ARCH_AT91 because the macros don't exist on AVR32. By defining the same macros on both AT91 and AVR32, these #ifdefs can be eliminated. Since the macros will evaluate to a constant value for CPUs that aren't supported by the current architecture, any code that is only needed on AT91 will be optimized away on AVR32 and vice versa.

If the first write fails due to a security error, then the page will be scrapped and reread before the second write takes place.

Fix tty_set_ldisc in tty_io.c so that tty->receive_room is only cleared if actually changing line disciplines. Without this fix a problem occurs when requesting the line discipline to change to the same line discipline. In this case tty->receive_room is cleared but ldisc->open() is not called to set tty->receive_room back to a sane value. The result is that tty->receive_room is stuck at 0 preventing the tty flip buffer from passing receive data to the line discipline. For example: a switch from N_TTY to N_TTY followed by a select() call for read input results in data never being received because tty->receive_room is stuck at zero. A switch from N_TTY to N_TTY followed by a read() call works because the read() call itself sets tty->receive_room correctly (but select does not). Previously (< 2.6.18) this was not a problem because the tty flip buffer pushed data to the line discipline without regard for tty->receive room.

When cpuset is configured, it breaks the strict hugetlb page reservation as the accounting is done on a global variable. Such reservation is completely rubbish in the presence of cpuset because the reservation is not checked against page availability for the current cpuset. Application can still potentially OOM'ed by kernel with lack of free htlb page in cpuset that the task is in. Attempt to enforce strict accounting with cpuset is almost impossible (or too ugly) because cpuset is too fluid that task or memory node can be dynamically moved between cpusets. The change of semantics for shared hugetlb mapping with cpuset is undesirable. However, in order to preserve some of the semantics, we fall back to check against current free page availability as a best attempt and hopefully to minimize the impact of changing semantics that cpuset has on hugetlb.
