      remove put_cpu_no_resched() · 8b0b1db0
      Thomas Gleixner 提交于
      put_cpu_no_resched() is an optimization of put_cpu() which unfortunately
      can cause high latencies.
      
      The nfs iostats code uses put_cpu_no_resched() in a code sequence where a
      reschedule request caused by an interrupt between the get_cpu() and the
      put_cpu_no_resched() can delay the reschedule for at least HZ.
      
      The other users of put_cpu_no_resched() optimize correctly in interrupt
      code, but there is no real harm in using the put_cpu() function which is
      an alias for preempt_enable().  The extra check of the preemmpt count is
      not as critical as the potential source of missing a reschedule.
      
      Debugged in the preempt-rt tree and verified in mainline.
      
      Impact: remove a high latency source

      mm: page_mkwrite change prototype to match fault · c2ec175c
      Nick Piggin 提交于
      Change the page_mkwrite prototype to take a struct vm_fault, and return
      VM_FAULT_xxx flags.  There should be no functional change.
      
      This makes it possible to return much more detailed error information to
      the VM (and also can provide more information eg.  virtual_address to the
      driver, which might be important in some special cases).
      
      This is required for a subsequent fix.  And will also make it easier to
      merge page_mkwrite() with fault() in future.

      proc 2/2: remove struct proc_dir_entry::owner · 99b76233
      Alexey Dobriyan 提交于
      Setting ->owner as done currently (pde->owner = THIS_MODULE) is racy
      as correctly noted at bug #12454. Someone can lookup entry with NULL
      ->owner, thus not pinning enything, and release it later resulting
      in module refcount underflow.
      
      We can keep ->owner and supply it at registration time like ->proc_fops
      and ->data.
      
      But this leaves ->owner as easy-manipulative field (just one C assignment)
      and somebody will forget to unpin previous/pin current module when
      switching ->owner. ->proc_fops is declared as "const" which should give
      some thoughts.
      
      ->read_proc/->write_proc were just fixed to not require ->owner for
      protection.
      
      rmmod'ed directories will be empty and return "." and ".." -- no harm.
      And directories with tricky enough readdir and lookup shouldn't be modular.
      We definitely don't want such modular code.
      
      Removing ->owner will also make PDE smaller.
      
      So, let's nuke it.
      
      Kudos to Jeff Layton for reminding about this, let's say, oversight.
