      [POWERPC] spufs: Add infrastructure needed for gang scheduling · 6263203e
      Arnd Bergmann 提交于
      Add the concept of a gang to spufs as a new type of object.
      So far, this has no impact whatsover on scheduling, but makes
      it possible to add that later.
      
      A new type of object in spufs is now a spu_gang. It is created
      with the spu_create system call with the flags argument set
      to SPU_CREATE_GANG (0x2). Inside of a spu_gang, it
      is then possible to create spu_context objects, which until
      now was only possible at the root of spufs.
      
      There is a new member in struct spu_context pointing to
      the spu_gang it belongs to, if any. The spu_gang maintains
      a list of spu_context structures that are its children.
      This information can then be used in the scheduler in the
      future.
      
      There is still a bug that needs to be resolved in this
      basic infrastructure regarding the order in which objects
      are removed. When the spu_gang file descriptor is closed
      before the spu_context descriptors, we leak the dentry
      and inode for the gang. Any ideas how to cleanly solve
      this are appreciated.
