In the process of writing up the mechanical proof of correctness for the dynticks/preemptable-RCU interface, I noticed misplaced memory barriers in rcu_enter_nohz() and rcu_exit_nohz(). This patch puts them in the right place and adds a comment. The key thing to keep in mind is that rcu_enter_nohz() is -exiting- the mode that can legally execute RCU read-side critical sections. The memory barrier must be between any potential RCU read-side critical sections and the increment of the per-CPU dynticks_progress_counter, and thus must come -before- this increment. And vice versa for rcu_exit_nohz(). The locking in the scheduler is probably saving us for the moment. Also, switch to smp_mb() - we don't need a barrier for uniprocessor kernels.

Since 4c7ffe0b ("fbdev: prevent drivers that have hardware cursors from calling software cursor code") every call of i810fb_cursor fails with -ENXIO because of a incorrect "!". This hasn't struck until eaa0ff15 ("fix ! versus & precedence in various places") surrounded the expression with braces, so that the intended behavior was inverted. That caused 'pixel waste' - the same line of multi-colored pixels repeated over the whole screen - during console switch. This switches back to the original pre-4c7ffe0b behavior.

To test this case mount a filesystem with data=journal, start creating and deleting a bunch of files containing only JBD2_MAGIC_NUMBER (0xc03b3998), then pull the plug on the device.

In the SYSV ipc msgctl(),semctl(),shmctl() family, if the user passed *_INFO as the desired operation, no specific object is meant to be controlled and only system-wide information is returned.

Fix up an error in iget removal in which romfs_lookup() making a successful call to romfs_iget() continues through the negative/error handling (previously the successful case jumped around the negative/error handling case): (1) inode is initialised to NULL at the top of the function, eliminating the need for specific negative-inode handling. This means the positive success handling now flows straight through. (2) Rename the labels to be clearer about what they mean. Also make romfs_lookup()'s result variable of type long so as to avoid 32-bit/64-bit conversions with PTR_ERR() and friends. Based upon a report and patch from Adam Richter.

My group ran into a AIO process hang on a 2.6.24 kernel with the process sleeping indefinitely in io_getevents(2) waiting for the last wakeup to come and it never would. We ran the tests on x86_64 SMP. The hang only occurred on a Xeon box ("Clovertown") but not a Core2Duo ("Conroe"). On the Xeon, the L2 cache isn't shared between all eight processors, but is L2 is shared between between all two processors on the Core2Duo we use. My analysis of the hang is if you go down to the second while-loop in read_events(), what happens on processor #1: 1) add_wait_queue_exclusive() adds thread to ctx->wait 2) aio_read_evt() to check tail 3) if aio_read_evt() returned 0, call [io_]schedule() and sleep In aio_complete() with processor #2: A) info->tail = tail; B) waitqueue_active(&ctx->wait) C) if waitqueue_active() returned non-0, call wake_up() The way the code is written, step 1 must be seen by all other processors before processor 1 checks for pending events in step 2 (that were recorded by step A) and step A by processor 2 must be seen by all other processors (checked in step 2) before step B is done. The race I believed I was seeing is that steps 1 and 2 were effectively swapped due to the __list_add() being delayed by the L2 cache not shared by some of the other processors. Imagine: proc 2: just before step A proc 1, step 1: adds to ctx->wait, but is not visible by other processors yet proc 1, step 2: checks tail and sees no pending events proc 2, step A: updates tail proc 1, step 3: calls [io_]schedule() and sleeps proc 2, step B: checks ctx->wait, but sees no one waiting, skips wakeup so proc 1 sleeps indefinitely My patch adds a memory barrier between steps A and B. It ensures that the update in step 1 gets seen on processor 2 before continuing. If processor 1 was just before step 1, the memory barrier makes sure that step A (update tail) gets seen by the time processor 1 makes it to step 2 (check tail). Before the patch our AIO process would hang virtually 100% of the time. After the patch, we have yet to see the process ever hang.

Now that we handle all the special commands using REQ_TYPE_ATA_TASKFILE rather than using the old REQ_TYPE_ATA_CMD model, we need to also emulate the lack of full taskfile data that comes with the old command model (ie when commands are generated with the HDIO_DRIVE_CMD ioctl rather than using the HDIO_DRIVE_TASK[FILE] ioctls). In particular, this means that we should handle command completion the more relaxed way that the old drive_cmd_intr() code did. It allows commands to finish early even if they don't use up all the data that we thought we had for them. This fixes a regression seen by Anders Eriksson where some SMART commands sent by smartd would cause a boot-time system hang on his machine because the IDE command handling code didn't realize that the command had completed.

improve affine wakeups. Maintain the 'overlap' metric based on CFS's sum_exec_runtime - which means the amount of time a task executes after it wakes up some other task. Use the 'overlap' for the wakeup decisions: if the 'overlap' is short, it means there's strong workload coupling between this task and the woken up task. If the 'overlap' is large then the workload is decoupled and the scheduler will move them to separate CPUs more easily. ( Also slightly move the preempt_check within try_to_wake_up() - this has no effect on functionality but allows 'early wakeups' (for still-on-rq tasks) to be correctly accounted as well.)
