      radix-tree: introduce bit-optimized iterator · 78c1d784
      Konstantin Khlebnikov 提交于
      A series of radix tree cleanups, and usage of them in the core pagecache
      code.
      
      Micro-benchmark:
      
      lookup 14 slots (typical page-vector size)
      in radix-tree there earch <step> slot filled and tagged
      before/after - nsec per full scan through tree
      
      * Intel Sandy Bridge i7-2620M 4Mb L3
      New code always faster
      
      * AMD Athlon 6000+ 2x1Mb L2, without L3
      New code generally faster,
      Minor degradation (marked with "*") for huge sparse trees
      
      * i386 on Sandy Bridge
      New code faster for common cases: tagged and dense trees.
      Some degradations for non-tagged lookup on sparse trees.
      
      Ideally, there might help __ffs() analog for searching first non-zero
      long element in array, gcc sometimes cannot optimize this loop corretly.

      This patch:
      
      Implement a clean, simple and effective radix-tree iteration routine.
      
      Iterating divided into two phases:
      * lookup next chunk in radix-tree leaf node
      * iterating through slots in this chunk
      
      Main iterator function radix_tree_next_chunk() returns pointer to first
      slot, and stores in the struct radix_tree_iter index of next-to-last slot.
       For tagged-iterating it also constuct bitmask of tags for retunted chunk.
       All additional logic implemented as static-inline functions and macroses.
      
      Also adds radix_tree_find_next_bit() static-inline variant of
      find_next_bit() optimized for small constant size arrays, because
      find_next_bit() too heavy for searching in an array with one/two long
      elements.

      pidns: add reboot_pid_ns() to handle the reboot syscall · cf3f8921
      Daniel Lezcano 提交于
      In the case of a child pid namespace, rebooting the system does not really
      makes sense.  When the pid namespace is used in conjunction with the other
      namespaces in order to create a linux container, the reboot syscall leads
      to some problems.
      
      A container can reboot the host.  That can be fixed by dropping the
      sys_reboot capability but we are unable to correctly to poweroff/
      halt/reboot a container and the container stays stuck at the shutdown time
      with the container's init process waiting indefinitively.
      
      After several attempts, no solution from userspace was found to reliabily
      handle the shutdown from a container.
      
      This patch propose to make the init process of the child pid namespace to
      exit with a signal status set to : SIGINT if the child pid namespace
      called "halt/poweroff" and SIGHUP if the child pid namespace called
      "reboot".  When the reboot syscall is called and we are not in the initial
      pid namespace, we kill the pid namespace for "HALT", "POWEROFF",
      "RESTART", and "RESTART2".  Otherwise we return EINVAL.
      
      Returning EINVAL is also an easy way to check if this feature is supported
      by the kernel when invoking another 'reboot' option like CAD.
      
      By this way the parent process of the child pid namespace knows if it
      rebooted or not and can take the right decision.

      smp: add func to IPI cpus based on parameter func · b3a7e98e
      Gilad Ben-Yossef 提交于
      Add the on_each_cpu_cond() function that wraps on_each_cpu_mask() and
      calculates the cpumask of cpus to IPI by calling a function supplied as a
      parameter in order to determine whether to IPI each specific cpu.
      
      The function works around allocation failure of cpumask variable in
      CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y by itereating over cpus sending an IPI a time
      via smp_call_function_single().
      
      The function is useful since it allows to seperate the specific code that
      decided in each case whether to IPI a specific cpu for a specific request
      from the common boilerplate code of handling creating the mask, handling
      failures etc.

      smp: introduce a generic on_each_cpu_mask() function · 3fc498f1
      Gilad Ben-Yossef 提交于
      We have lots of infrastructure in place to partition multi-core systems
      such that we have a group of CPUs that are dedicated to specific task:
      cgroups, scheduler and interrupt affinity, and cpuisol= boot parameter.
      Still, kernel code will at times interrupt all CPUs in the system via IPIs
      for various needs.  These IPIs are useful and cannot be avoided
      altogether, but in certain cases it is possible to interrupt only specific
      CPUs that have useful work to do and not the entire system.
      
      This patch set, inspired by discussions with Peter Zijlstra and Frederic
      Weisbecker when testing the nohz task patch set, is a first stab at trying
      to explore doing this by locating the places where such global IPI calls
      are being made and turning the global IPI into an IPI for a specific group
      of CPUs.  The purpose of the patch set is to get feedback if this is the
      right way to go for dealing with this issue and indeed, if the issue is
      even worth dealing with at all.  Based on the feedback from this patch set
      I plan to offer further patches that address similar issue in other code
      paths.
      
      This patch creates an on_each_cpu_mask() and on_each_cpu_cond()
      infrastructure API (the former derived from existing arch specific
      versions in Tile and Arm) and uses them to turn several global IPI
      invocation to per CPU group invocations.
      
      Core kernel:
      
      on_each_cpu_mask() calls a function on processors specified by cpumask,
      which may or may not include the local processor.
      
      You must not call this function with disabled interrupts or from a
      hardware interrupt handler or from a bottom half handler.
      
      arch/arm:
      
      Note that the generic version is a little different then the Arm one:
      
      1. It has the mask as first parameter
      2. It calls the function on the calling CPU with interrupts disabled,
         but this should be OK since the function is called on the other CPUs
         with interrupts disabled anyway.
      
      arch/tile:
      
      The API is the same as the tile private one, but the generic version
      also calls the function on the with interrupts disabled in UP case
      
      This is OK since the function is called on the other CPUs
      with interrupts disabled.

      swapon: check validity of swap_flags · d15cab97
      Hugh Dickins 提交于
      Most system calls taking flags first check that the flags passed in are
      valid, and that helps userspace to detect when new flags are supported.
      
      But swapon never did so: start checking now, to help if we ever want to
      support more swap_flags in future.
      
      It's difficult to get stray bits set in an int, and swapon is not widely
      used, so this is most unlikely to break any userspace; but we can just
      revert if it turns out to do so.

      mm for fs: add truncate_pagecache_range() · 623e3db9
      Hugh Dickins 提交于
      Holepunching filesystems ext4 and xfs are using truncate_inode_pages_range
      but forgetting to unmap pages first (ocfs2 remembers).  This is not really
      a bug, since races already require truncate_inode_page() to handle that
      case once the page is locked; but it can be very inefficient if the file
      being punched happens to be mapped into many vmas.
      
      Provide a drop-in replacement truncate_pagecache_range() which does the
      unmapping pass first, handling the awkward mismatch between arguments to
      truncate_inode_pages_range() and arguments to unmap_mapping_range().
      
      Note that holepunching does not unmap privately COWed pages in the range:
      POSIX requires that we do so when truncating, but it's hard to justify,
      difficult to implement without an i_size cutoff, and no filesystem is
      attempting to implement it.

      Add #includes needed to permit the removal of asm/system.h · 96f951ed
      David Howells 提交于
      asm/system.h is a cause of circular dependency problems because it contains
      commonly used primitive stuff like barrier definitions and uncommonly used
      stuff like switch_to() that might require MMU definitions.
      
      asm/system.h has been disintegrated by this point on all arches into the
      following common segments:
      
       (1) asm/barrier.h
      
           Moved memory barrier definitions here.
      
       (2) asm/cmpxchg.h
      
           Moved xchg() and cmpxchg() here.  #included in asm/atomic.h.
      
       (3) asm/bug.h
      
           Moved die() and similar here.
      
       (4) asm/exec.h
      
           Moved arch_align_stack() here.
      
       (5) asm/elf.h
      
           Moved AT_VECTOR_SIZE_ARCH here.
      
       (6) asm/switch_to.h
      
           Moved switch_to() here.

      sched: Fix select_fallback_rq() vs cpu_active/cpu_online · 2baab4e9
      Peter Zijlstra 提交于
      Commit 5fbd036b ("sched: Cleanup cpu_active madness"), which was
      supposed to finally sort the cpu_active mess, instead uncovered more.
      
      Since CPU_STARTING is ran before setting the cpu online, there's a
      (small) window where the cpu has active,!online.
      
      If during this time there's a wakeup of a task that used to reside on
      that cpu select_task_rq() will use select_fallback_rq() to compute an
      alternative cpu to run on since we find !online.
      
      select_fallback_rq() however will compute the new cpu against
      cpu_active, this means that it can return the same cpu it started out
      with, the !online one, since that cpu is in fact marked active.
      
      This results in us trying to scheduling a task on an offline cpu and
      triggering a WARN in the IPI code.
      
      The solution proposed by Chuansheng Liu of setting cpu_active in
      set_cpu_online() is buggy, firstly not all archs actually use
      set_cpu_online(), secondly, not all archs call set_cpu_online() with
      IRQs disabled, this means we would introduce either the same race or
      the race from fd8a7de1 ("x86: cpu-hotplug: Prevent softirq wakeup on
      wrong CPU") -- albeit much narrower.
      
      [ By setting online first and active later we have a window of
        online,!active, fresh and bound kthreads have task_cpu() of 0 and
        since cpu0 isn't in tsk_cpus_allowed() we end up in
        select_fallback_rq() which excludes !active, resulting in a reset
        of ->cpus_allowed and the thread running all over the place. ]
      
      The solution is to re-work select_fallback_rq() to require active
      _and_ online. This makes the active,!online case work as expected,
      OTOH archs running CPU_STARTING after setting online are now
      vulnerable to the issue from fd8a7de1 -- these are alpha and
      blackfin.

      [SCSI] st: expand ability to write immediate filemarks · c743e44f
      Lee Duncan 提交于
      The st tape driver recently added the MTWEOFI ioctl, which writes
      a tape filemark (EOF), like the MTWEOF ioctl, except that MTWEOFI
      returns immediately. This makes certain applications, like backup
      software, run much more quickly on buffered tape drives.
      
      Since legacy applications do not know about this new MTWEOFI ioctl,
      this patch adds a new ioctl option that tells the st driver to return
      immediately when writing an EOF (i.e. a filemark). This new flag
      is much like the existing flag that tells the st driver to perform
      writes (and certain other IOs) immediately, but this new flag only
      applies to writing EOFs.
      
      This new feature is controlled via the MTSETDRVBUFFER ioctl, using
      the newly-defined MT_ST_NOWAIT_EOF flag.
      
      Use of this new feature is displayed via the sysfs tape "options"
      attribute.
      
      The st documentation was updated to mention this new flag, as well
      as the problems that can occur from using it.
