      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      Do 'make oldconfig' and accept all the defaults for new config options -
      reboot into the kernel and if everything goes well it should boot up fine and
      you should have /proc/lockdep and /proc/lockdep_stats files.
      
      Typically if the lock validator finds some problem it will print out
      voluminous debug output that begins with "BUG: ..." and which syslog output
      can be used by kernel developers to figure out the precise locking scenario.
      
      What does the lock validator do?  It "observes" and maps all locking rules as
      they occur dynamically (as triggered by the kernel's natural use of spinlocks,
      rwlocks, mutexes and rwsems).  Whenever the lock validator subsystem detects a
      new locking scenario, it validates this new rule against the existing set of
      rules.  If this new rule is consistent with the existing set of rules then the
      new rule is added transparently and the kernel continues as normal.  If the
      new rule could create a deadlock scenario then this condition is printed out.
      
      When determining validity of locking, all possible "deadlock scenarios" are
      considered: assuming arbitrary number of CPUs, arbitrary irq context and task
      context constellations, running arbitrary combinations of all the existing
      locking scenarios.  In a typical system this means millions of separate
      scenarios.  This is why we call it a "locking correctness" validator - for all
      rules that are observed the lock validator proves it with mathematical
      certainty that a deadlock could not occur (assuming that the lock validator
      implementation itself is correct and its internal data structures are not
      corrupted by some other kernel subsystem).  [see more details and conditionals
      of this statement in include/linux/lockdep.h and
      Documentation/lockdep-design.txt]
      
      Furthermore, this "all possible scenarios" property of the validator also
      enables the finding of complex, highly unlikely multi-CPU multi-context races
      via single single-context rules, increasing the likelyhood of finding bugs
      drastically.  In practical terms: the lock validator already found a bug in
      the upstream kernel that could only occur on systems with 3 or more CPUs, and
      which needed 3 very unlikely code sequences to occur at once on the 3 CPUs.
      That bug was found and reported on a single-CPU system (!).  So in essence a
      race will be found "piecemail-wise", triggering all the necessary components
      for the race, without having to reproduce the race scenario itself!  In its
      short existence the lock validator found and reported many bugs before they
      actually caused a real deadlock.
      
      To further increase the efficiency of the validator, the mapping is not per
      "lock instance", but per "lock-class".  For example, all struct inode objects
      in the kernel have inode->inotify_mutex.  If there are 10,000 inodes cached,
      then there are 10,000 lock objects.  But ->inotify_mutex is a single "lock
      type", and all locking activities that occur against ->inotify_mutex are
      "unified" into this single lock-class.  The advantage of the lock-class
      approach is that all historical ->inotify_mutex uses are mapped into a single
      (and as narrow as possible) set of locking rules - regardless of how many
      different tasks or inode structures it took to build this set of rules.  The
      set of rules persist during the lifetime of the kernel.
      
      To see the rough magnitude of checking that the lock validator does, here's a
      portion of /proc/lockdep_stats, fresh after bootup:
      
       lock-classes:                            694 [max: 2048]
       direct dependencies:                  1598 [max: 8192]

       in-hardirq chains:                      17
       in-softirq chains:                     105
       in-process chains:                    1065
       stack-trace entries:                 38761 [max: 131072]
       combined max dependencies:         2033928
       hardirq-safe locks:                     24
       hardirq-unsafe locks:                  176
       softirq-safe locks:                     53
       softirq-unsafe locks:                  137
       irq-safe locks:                         59
       irq-unsafe locks:                      176
      
      The lock validator has observed 1598 actual single-thread locking patterns,
      and has validated all possible 2033928 distinct locking scenarios.

      [PATCH] lockdep: better lock debugging · 9a11b49a
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      Generic lock debugging:
      
       - generalized lock debugging framework. For example, a bug in one lock
         subsystem turns off debugging in all lock subsystems.
      
       - got rid of the caller address passing (__IP__/__IP_DECL__/etc.) from
         the mutex/rtmutex debugging code: it caused way too much prototype
         hackery, and lockdep will give the same information anyway.
      
       - ability to do silent tests
      
       - check lock freeing in vfree too.
      
       - more finegrained debugging options, to allow distributions to
         turn off more expensive debugging features.
      
      There's no separate 'held mutexes' list anymore - but there's a 'held locks'
      stack within lockdep, which unifies deadlock detection across all lock
      classes.  (this is independent of the lockdep validation stuff - lockdep first
      checks whether we are holding a lock already)
      
      Here are the current debugging options:
      
      CONFIG_DEBUG_MUTEXES=y
      CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC=y
      
      which do:
      
       config DEBUG_MUTEXES
                bool "Mutex debugging, basic checks"
      
       config DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC
               bool "Detect incorrect freeing of live mutexes"

      [PATCH] ZVC/zone_reclaim: Leave 1% of unmapped pagecache pages for file I/O · 9614634f
      Christoph Lameter 提交于
      It turns out that it is advantageous to leave a small portion of unmapped file
      backed pages if all of a zone's pages (or almost all pages) are allocated and
      so the page allocator has to go off-node.
      
      This allows recently used file I/O buffers to stay on the node and
      reduces the times that zone reclaim is invoked if file I/O occurs
      when we run out of memory in a zone.
      
      The problem is that zone reclaim runs too frequently when the page cache is
      used for file I/O (read write and therefore unmapped pages!) alone and we have
      almost all pages of the zone allocated.  Zone reclaim may remove 32 unmapped
      pages.  File I/O will use these pages for the next read/write requests and the
      unmapped pages increase.  After the zone has filled up again zone reclaim will
      remove it again after only 32 pages.  This cycle is too inefficient and there
      are potentially too many zone reclaim cycles.
      
      With the 1% boundary we may still remove all unmapped pages for file I/O in
      zone reclaim pass.  However.  it will take a large number of read and writes
      to get back to 1% again where we trigger zone reclaim again.
      
      The zone reclaim 2.6.16/17 does not show this behavior because we have a 30
      second timeout.

      [PATCH] irq-flags: consolidate flags for request_irq · 6e213616
      Thomas Gleixner 提交于
      The recent interrupt rework introduced bit value conflicts with sparc.
      Instead of introducing new architecture flags mess, move the interrupt SA_
      flags out of the signal namespace and replace them by interrupt related flags.
      
      This allows to remove the obsolete SA_INTERRUPT flag and clean up the bit
      field values.
      
      This patch:
      
      Move the interrupt related SA_ flags out of linux/signal.h and rename them to
      IRQF_ .  This moves the interrupt related flags out of the signal namespace
      and allows to remove the architecture dependencies.
      
      SA_INTERRUPT is not needed by userspace and glibc so it can be removed safely.
      
      The existing SA_ constants are kept for easy transition and will be
      removed after a 6 month grace period.
