      [NET]: Add netlink connector. · 7672d0b5
      Evgeniy Polyakov 提交于
      Kernel connector - new userspace <-> kernel space easy to use
      communication module which implements easy to use bidirectional
      message bus using netlink as it's backend.  Connector was created to
      eliminate complex skb handling both in send and receive message bus
      direction.
      
      Connector driver adds possibility to connect various agents using as
      one of it's backends netlink based network.  One must register
      callback and identifier. When driver receives special netlink message
      with appropriate identifier, appropriate callback will be called.
      
      From the userspace point of view it's quite straightforward:
      
      	socket();
      	bind();
      	send();
      	recv();
      
      But if kernelspace want to use full power of such connections, driver
      writer must create special sockets, must know about struct sk_buff
      handling...  Connector allows any kernelspace agents to use netlink
      based networking for inter-process communication in a significantly
      easier way:
      
      int cn_add_callback(struct cb_id *id, char *name, void (*callback) (void *));
      void cn_netlink_send(struct cn_msg *msg, u32 __groups, int gfp_mask);
      
      struct cb_id
      {
      	__u32			idx;
      	__u32			val;
      };
      
      idx and val are unique identifiers which must be registered in
      connector.h for in-kernel usage.  void (*callback) (void *) - is a
      callback function which will be called when message with above idx.val
      will be received by connector core.
      
      Using connector completely hides low-level transport layer from it's
      users.
      
      Connector uses new netlink ability to have many groups in one socket.

      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      This patch implements a task state bit (TASK_NONINTERACTIVE), which can be
      used by blocking points to mark the task's wait as "non-interactive".  This
      does not mean the task will be considered a CPU-hog - the wait will simply
      not have an effect on the waiting task's priority - positive or negative
      alike.  Right now only pipe_wait() will make use of it, because it's a
      common source of not-so-interactive waits (kernel compilation jobs, etc.).

      [PATCH] cpuset semaphore depth check deadlock fix · 4247bdc6
      Paul Jackson 提交于
      The cpusets-formalize-intermediate-gfp_kernel-containment patch
      has a deadlock problem.
      
      This patch was part of a set of four patches to make more
      extensive use of the cpuset 'mem_exclusive' attribute to
      manage kernel GFP_KERNEL memory allocations and to constrain
      the out-of-memory (oom) killer.
      
      A task that is changing cpusets in particular ways on a system
      when it is very short of free memory could double trip over
      the global cpuset_sem semaphore (get the lock and then deadlock
      trying to get it again).
      
      The second attempt to get cpuset_sem would be in the routine
      cpuset_zone_allowed().  This was discovered by code inspection.
      I can not reproduce the problem except with an artifically
      hacked kernel and a specialized stress test.
      
      In real life you cannot hit this unless you are manipulating
      cpusets, and are very unlikely to hit it unless you are rapidly
      modifying cpusets on a memory tight system.  Even then it would
      be a rare occurence.
      
      If you did hit it, the task double tripping over cpuset_sem
      would deadlock in the kernel, and any other task also trying
      to manipulate cpusets would deadlock there too, on cpuset_sem.
      Your batch manager would be wedged solid (if it was cpuset
      savvy), but classic Unix shells and utilities would work well
      enough to reboot the system.
      
      The unusual condition that led to this bug is that unlike most
      semaphores, cpuset_sem _can_ be acquired while in the page
      allocation code, when __alloc_pages() calls cpuset_zone_allowed.
      So it easy to mistakenly perform the following sequence:
        1) task makes system call to alter a cpuset
        2) take cpuset_sem
        3) try to allocate memory
        4) memory allocator, via cpuset_zone_allowed, trys to take cpuset_sem
        5) deadlock
      
      The reason that this is not a serious bug for most users
      is that almost all calls to allocate memory don't require
      taking cpuset_sem.  Only some code paths off the beaten
      track require taking cpuset_sem -- which is good.  Taking
      a global semaphore on the main code path for allocating
      memory would not scale well.
      
      This patch fixes this deadlock by wrapping the up() and down()
      calls on cpuset_sem in kernel/cpuset.c with code that tracks
      the nesting depth of the current task on that semaphore, and
      only does the real down() if the task doesn't hold the lock
      already, and only does the real up() if the nesting depth
      (number of unmatched downs) is exactly one.
      
      The previous required use of refresh_mems(), anytime that
      the cpuset_sem semaphore was acquired and the code executed
      while holding that semaphore might try to allocate memory, is
      no longer required.  Two refresh_mems() calls were removed
      thanks to this.  This is a good change, as failing to get
      all the necessary refresh_mems() calls placed was a primary
      source of bugs in this cpuset code.  The only remaining call
      to refresh_mems() is made while doing a memory allocation,
      if certain task memory placement data needs to be updated
      from its cpuset, due to the cpuset having been changed behind
      the tasks back.

      [PATCH] spinlock consolidation · fb1c8f93
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      This patch (written by me and also containing many suggestions of Arjan van
      de Ven) does a major cleanup of the spinlock code.  It does the following
      things:
      
       - consolidates and enhances the spinlock/rwlock debugging code
      
       - simplifies the asm/spinlock.h files
      
       - encapsulates the raw spinlock type and moves generic spinlock
         features (such as ->break_lock) into the generic code.
      
       - cleans up the spinlock code hierarchy to get rid of the spaghetti.
      
      Most notably there's now only a single variant of the debugging code,
      located in lib/spinlock_debug.c.  (previously we had one SMP debugging
      variant per architecture, plus a separate generic one for UP builds)
      
      Also, i've enhanced the rwlock debugging facility, it will now track
      write-owners.  There is new spinlock-owner/CPU-tracking on SMP builds too.
      All locks have lockup detection now, which will work for both soft and hard
      spin/rwlock lockups.
      
      The arch-level include files now only contain the minimally necessary
      subset of the spinlock code - all the rest that can be generalized now
      lives in the generic headers:
      
       include/asm-i386/spinlock_types.h       |   16
       include/asm-x86_64/spinlock_types.h     |   16
      
      I have also split up the various spinlock variants into separate files,
      making it easier to see which does what. The new layout is:
      
         SMP                         |  UP
         ----------------------------|-----------------------------------
         asm/spinlock_types_smp.h    |  linux/spinlock_types_up.h
         linux/spinlock_types.h      |  linux/spinlock_types.h
         asm/spinlock_smp.h          |  linux/spinlock_up.h
         linux/spinlock_api_smp.h    |  linux/spinlock_api_up.h

        Builds 32-bit SMP kernel (not booted or tested).  I did not try to build
        non-SMP kernels.  That should be trivial to fix up later if necessary.
      
        I converted bit ops atomic_hash lock to raw_spinlock_t.  Doing so avoids
        some ugly nesting of linux/*.h and asm/*.h files.  Those particular locks
        are well tested and contained entirely inside arch specific code.  I do NOT
        expect any new issues to arise with them.
      
       If someone does ever need to use debug/metrics with them, then they will
        need to unravel this hairball between spinlocks, atomic ops, and bit ops
        that exist only because parisc has exactly one atomic instruction: LDCW
        (load and clear word).
