      [NET]: Make device event notification network namespace safe · e9dc8653
      Eric W. Biederman 提交于
      Every user of the network device notifiers is either a protocol
      stack or a pseudo device.  If a protocol stack that does not have
      support for multiple network namespaces receives an event for a
      device that is not in the initial network namespace it quite possibly
      can get confused and do the wrong thing.
      
      To avoid problems until all of the protocol stacks are converted
      this patch modifies all netdev event handlers to ignore events on
      devices that are not in the initial network namespace.
      
      As the rest of the code is made network namespace aware these
      checks can be removed.

      [PATCH] remove many unneeded #includes of sched.h · cd354f1a
      Tim Schmielau 提交于
      After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h
      recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes.
      There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need
      anything defined in there.  Presumably these includes were once needed for
      macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the
      course of cleaning it up.
      
      To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only
      removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble.
      
      Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha,
      arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig,
      allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all
      configs in arch/arm/configs on arm.  I also checked that no new warnings were
      introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted
      by unnecessarily included header files).

      [NET]: user of the jiffies rounding code: Networking · f5a6e01c
      Arjan van de Ven 提交于
      This patch introduces users of the round_jiffies() function in the
      networking code.
      
      These timers all were of the "about once a second" or "about once
      every X seconds" variety and several showed up in the "what wakes the
      cpu up" profiles that the tickless patches provide.  Some timers are
      highly dynamic based on network load; but even on low activity systems
      they still show up so the rounding is done only in cases of low
      activity, allowing higher frequency timers in the high activity case.
      
      The various hardware watchdogs are an obvious case; they run every 2
      seconds but aren't otherwise specific of exactly when they need to
      run.

      [NET]: add_timer -> mod_timer() in dst_run_gc() · 7c91767a
      Dmitry Mishin 提交于
      Patch from Dmitry Mishin <dim@openvz.org>:
      
      Replace add_timer() by mod_timer() in dst_run_gc
      in order to avoid BUG message.
      
             CPU1                            CPU2
      dst_run_gc()  entered           dst_run_gc() entered
      spin_lock(&dst_lock)                   .....
      del_timer(&dst_gc_timer)         fail to get lock
             ....                         mod_timer() <--- puts 
                                                       timer back
                                                       to the list
      add_timer(&dst_gc_timer) <--- BUG because timer is in list already.
      
      Found during OpenVZ internal testing.
      
      At first we thought that it is OpenVZ specific as we
      added dst_run_gc(0) call in dst_dev_event(),
      but as Alexey pointed to me it is possible to trigger
      this condition in mainstream kernel.
      
      F.e. timer has fired on CPU2, but the handler was preeempted
      by an irq before dst_lock is tried.
      Meanwhile, someone on CPU1 adds an entry to gc list and
      starts the timer.
      If CPU2 was preempted long enough, this timer can expire
      simultaneously with resuming timer handler on CPU1, arriving
      exactly to the situation described.
