Cmpxchg is used to implement adding new entry to the list, deleting all entries from the list, deleting first entry of the list and some other operations. Because this is a single list, so the tail can not be accessed in O(1). If there are multiple producers and multiple consumers, llist_add can be used in producers and llist_del_all can be used in consumers. They can work simultaneously without lock. But llist_del_first can not be used here. Because llist_del_first depends on list->first->next does not changed if list->first is not changed during its operation, but llist_del_first, llist_add, llist_add (or llist_del_all, llist_add, llist_add) sequence in another consumer may violate that. If there are multiple producers and one consumer, llist_add can be used in producers and llist_del_all or llist_del_first can be used in the consumer. This can be summarized as follow: | add | del_first | del_all add | - | - | - del_first | | L | L del_all | | | - Where "-" stands for no lock is needed, while "L" stands for lock is needed. The list entries deleted via llist_del_all can be traversed with traversing function such as llist_for_each etc. But the list entries can not be traversed safely before deleted from the list. The order of deleted entries is from the newest to the oldest added one. If you want to traverse from the oldest to the newest, you must reverse the order by yourself before traversing. The basic atomic operation of this list is cmpxchg on long. On architectures that don't have NMI-safe cmpxchg implementation, the list can NOT be used in NMI handler. So code uses the list in NMI handler should depend on CONFIG_ARCH_HAVE_NMI_SAFE_CMPXCHG.

* new refcount in struct net, controlling actual freeing of the memory * new method in kobj_ns_type_operations (->drop_ns()) * ->current_ns() semantics change - it's supposed to be followed by corresponding ->drop_ns(). For struct net in case of CONFIG_NET_NS it bumps the new refcount; net_drop_ns() decrements it and calls net_free() if the last reference has been dropped. Method renamed to ->grab_current_ns(). * old net_free() callers call net_drop_ns() instead. * sysfs_exit_ns() is gone, along with a large part of callchain leading to it; now that the references stored in ->ns[...] stay valid we do not need to hunt them down and replace them with NULL. That fixes problems in sysfs_lookup() and sysfs_readdir(), along with getting rid of sb->s_instances abuse. Note that struct net *shutdown* logics has not changed - net_cleanup() is called exactly when it used to be called. The only thing postponed by having a sysfs instance refering to that struct net is actual freeing of memory occupied by struct net. Signed-off-by: NAl Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

By default the io_tlb_nslabs is set to zero, and gets set to whatever value is passed in via swiotlb_init_with_tbl function. The default value passed in is 64MB. However, if the user provides the 'swiotlb=<nslabs>' the default value is ignored and the value provided by the user is used... Except when the SWIOTLB is used under Xen - there the default value of 64MB is used and the Xen-SWIOTLB has no mechanism to get the 'io_tlb_nslabs' filled out by setup_io_tlb_npages functions. This patch provides a function for the Xen-SWIOTLB to call to see if the io_tlb_nslabs is set and if so use that value.

This performance penalty effectively precludes flex arrays from being used on any kind of fast path. However, two of these divisions can be handled at creation time and the others can be replaced by a reciprocal divide, completely avoiding real divisions on access.

HARDIRQ_ENTER() maps to irq_enter() which calls rcu_irq_enter(). But HARDIRQ_EXIT() maps to __irq_exit() which doesn't call rcu_irq_exit(). So for every locking selftest that simulates hardirq disabled, we create an imbalance in the rcu extended quiescent state internal state. As a result, after the first missing rcu_irq_exit(), subsequent irqs won't exit dyntick-idle mode after leaving the interrupt handler. This means that RCU won't see the affected CPU as being in an extended quiescent state, resulting in long grace-period delays (as in grace periods extending for hours). To fix this, just use __irq_enter() to simulate the hardirq context. This is sufficient for the locking selftests as we don't need to exit any extended quiescent state or perform any check that irqs normally do when they wake up from idle. As a side effect, this patch makes it possible to restore "rcu: Decrease memory-barrier usage based on semi-formal proof", which eventually helped finding this bug.

There is quite a lot of code which does copy_from_user() + strict_strto*() or simple_strto*() combo in slightly different ways. Before doing conversions all over tree, let's get final API correct. Enter kstrtoull_from_user() and friends. Typical code which uses them looks very simple: TYPE val; int rv; rv = kstrtoTYPE_from_user(buf, count, 0, &val); if (rv < 0) return rv; [use val] return count; There is a tiny semantic difference from the plain kstrto*() API -- the latter allows any amount of leading zeroes, while the former copies data into buffer on stack and thus allows leading zeroes as long as it fits into buffer. This shouldn't be a problem for typical usecase "echo 42 > /proc/x". The point is to make reading one integer from userspace _very_ simple and very bug free.

This conforms to other companion interfaces where both a map and a list interface exists.

This patch also removes the show_free_areas() wrapper around __show_free_areas() and converts existing callers to pass an empty filter. ia64 emits additional information for each node, so skip_free_areas_zone() must be made global to filter disallowed nodes and it is converted to use a nid argument rather than a zone for this use case.

There a large number hand-coded binary searches in the kernel (run "git grep search | grep binary" to find many of them). Since in my experience, hand-coding binary searches can be error-prone, it seems worth cleaning this up by providing a generic binary search function. This generic binary search implementation comes from Ksplice. It has the same basic API as the C library bsearch() function. Ksplice uses it in half a dozen places with 4 different comparison functions, and I think our code is substantially cleaner because of this.

flex_arrays are supposed to be a replacement for: kmalloc(num_elements * sizeof(element)) If kmalloc is given 0 num_elements or a 0 size element it will happily return ZERO_SIZE_PTR. Which looks like a valid allocation, but which will explode if something actually try to use it. The current flex_array code will return an equivalent result if num_elements is 0, but will fail to work if sizeof(element) is 0. This patch allows allocation to work even for 0 size elements. It will cause flex_arrays to explode though if they are used. Imitating the kmalloc behavior.

This patch allows the default value for sysctl_hung_task_timeout_secs to be set at build time. The feature carries virtually no overhead, so it makes sense to keep it enabled. On heavily loaded systems, though, it can end up triggering stack traces when there is no bug other than the system being underprovisioned. We use this patch to keep the hung task facility available but disabled at boot-time. The default of 120 seconds is preserved. As a note, commit e162b39a may have accidentally reverted commit fb822db4, which raised the default from 120 seconds to 480 seconds.
