      linux/kernel.h: define SYMBOL_PREFIX · cbdbf2ab
      由 James Hogan 提交于 
      Define SYMBOL_PREFIX to be the same as CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX if set by
the architecture, or "" otherwise. This avoids the need for ugly #ifdefs
whenever symbols are referenced in asm blocks.

      Merge branch 'for-3.7-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq · 3c46f3d6
      由 Linus Torvalds 提交于 
      Pull  late workqueue fixes from Tejun Heo:
 "Unfortunately, I have two really late fixes.  One was for a
  long-standing bug and queued for 3.8 but I found out about a
  regression introduced during 3.7-rc1 two days ago, so I'm sending out
  the two fixes together.

  The first (long-standing) one is rescuer_thread() entering exit path
  w/ TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE.  It only triggers on workqueue destructions
  which isn't very frequent and the exit path can usually survive being
  called with TASK_INTERRUPT, so it was hidden pretty well.  Apparently,
  if you're reiserfs, this could lead to the exiting kthread sleeping
  indefinitely holding a mutex, which is never good.

  The fix is simple - restoring TASK_RUNNING before returning from the
  kthread function.

  The second one is introduced by the new mod_delayed_work().
  mod_delayed_work() was missing special case handling for 0 delay.
  Instead of queueing the work item immediately, it queued the timer
  which expires on the closest next tick.  Some users of the new
  function converted from "[__]cancel_delayed_work() +
  queue_delayed_work()" combination became unhappy with the extra delay.

  Block unplugging led to noticeably higher number of context switches
  and intel 6250 wireless failed to associate with WPA-Enterprise
  network.  The fix, again, is fairly simple.  The 0 delay special case
  logic from queue_delayed_work_on() should be moved to
  __queue_delayed_work() which is shared by both queue_delayed_work_on()
  and mod_delayed_work_on().

  The first one is difficult to trigger and the failure mode for the
  latter isn't completely catastrophic, so missing these two for 3.7
  wouldn't make it a disastrous release, but both bugs are nasty and the
  fixes are fairly safe"

      workqueue: mod_delayed_work_on() shouldn't queue timer on 0 delay · 8852aac2
      由 Tejun Heo 提交于 
      8376fe22 ("workqueue: implement mod_delayed_work[_on]()")
implemented mod_delayed_work[_on]() using the improved
try_to_grab_pending().  The function is later used, among others, to
replace [__]candel_delayed_work() + queue_delayed_work() combinations.

Unfortunately, a delayed_work item w/ zero @delay is handled slightly
differently by mod_delayed_work_on() compared to
queue_delayed_work_on().  The latter skips timer altogether and
directly queues it using queue_work_on() while the former schedules
timer which will expire on the closest tick.  This means, when @delay
is zero, that [__]cancel_delayed_work() + queue_delayed_work_on()
makes the target item immediately executable while
mod_delayed_work_on() may induce delay of upto a full tick.

This somewhat subtle difference breaks some of the converted users.
e.g. block queue plugging uses delayed_work for deferred processing
and uses mod_delayed_work_on() when the queue needs to be immediately
unplugged.  The above problem manifested as noticeably higher number
of context switches under certain circumstances.

The difference in behavior was caused by missing special case handling
for 0 delay in mod_delayed_work_on() compared to
queue_delayed_work_on().  Joonsoo Kim posted a patch to add it -
("workqueue: optimize mod_delayed_work_on() when @delay == 0")[1].
The patch was queued for 3.8 but it was described as optimization and
I missed that it was a correctness issue.

As both queue_delayed_work_on() and mod_delayed_work_on() use
__queue_delayed_work() for queueing, it seems that the better approach
is to move the 0 delay special handling to the function instead of
duplicating it in mod_delayed_work_on().

Fix the problem by moving 0 delay special case handling from
queue_delayed_work_on() to __queue_delayed_work().  This replaces
Joonsoo's patch.

      workqueue: exit rescuer_thread() as TASK_RUNNING · 412d32e6
      由 Mike Galbraith 提交于 
      A rescue thread exiting TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE can lead to a task scheduling
off, never to be seen again.  In the case where this occurred, an exiting
thread hit reiserfs homebrew conditional resched while holding a mutex,
bringing the box to its knees.
