      sched: Fix balance vs hotplug race · 6ad4c188
      Peter Zijlstra authored 
      Since (e761b772: cpu hotplug, sched: Introduce cpu_active_map and redo
sched domain managment) we have cpu_active_mask which is suppose to rule
scheduler migration and load-balancing, except it never (fully) did.

The particular problem being solved here is a crash in try_to_wake_up()
where select_task_rq() ends up selecting an offline cpu because
select_task_rq_fair() trusts the sched_domain tree to reflect the
current state of affairs, similarly select_task_rq_rt() trusts the
root_domain.

However, the sched_domains are updated from CPU_DEAD, which is after the
cpu is taken offline and after stop_machine is done. Therefore it can
race perfectly well with code assuming the domains are right.

Cure this by building the domains from cpu_active_mask on
CPU_DOWN_PREPARE.

      cpumask: Fix generate_sched_domains() for UP · e1b8090b
      Geert Uytterhoeven authored 
      Commit acc3f5d7 ("cpumask:
Partition_sched_domains takes array of cpumask_var_t") changed
the function signature of generate_sched_domains() for the
CONFIG_SMP=y case, but forgot to update the corresponding
function for the CONFIG_SMP=n case, causing:

  kernel/cpuset.c:2073: warning: passing argument 1 of 'generate_sched_domains' from incompatible pointer type

      x86, apic: Enable lapic nmi watchdog on AMD Family 11h · 7d1849af
      Mikael Pettersson authored 
      The x86 lapic nmi watchdog does not recognize AMD Family 11h,
resulting in:

  NMI watchdog: CPU not supported

As far as I can see from available documentation (the BKDM),
family 11h looks identical to family 10h as far as the PMU
is concerned.

Extending the check to accept family 11h results in:

  Testing NMI watchdog ... OK.

I've been running with this change on a Turion X2 Ultra ZM-82
laptop for a couple of weeks now without problems.

      GFS2: Fix glock refcount issues · 26bb7505
      Steven Whitehouse authored 
      This patch fixes some ref counting issues. Firstly by moving
the point at which we drop the ref count after a dlm lock
operation has completed we ensure that we never call
gfs2_glock_hold() on a lock with a zero ref count.

Secondly, by using atomic_dec_and_lock() in gfs2_glock_put()
we ensure that at no time will a glock with zero ref count
appear on the lru_list. That means that we can remove the
check for this in our shrinker (which was racy).

      GFS2: drop rindex glock to refresh rindex list · 9ae3c6de
      Benjamin Marzinski authored 
      When a gfs2 filesystem is grown, it needs to rebuild the rindex list to be able
to use the new space.  gfs2 does this when the rindex is marked not uptodate,
which happens when the rindex glock is dropped.  However, on a single node
setup, there is never any reason to drop the rindex glock, so gfs2 never
invalidates the the rindex. This patch makes gfs2 automatically drop the
rindex glock after filesystem grows, so it can refresh the rindex list.

      GFS2: Tag all metadata with jid · 0ab7d13f
      Steven Whitehouse authored 
      There are two spare field in the header common to all GFS2
metadata. One is just the right size to fit a journal id
in it, and this patch updates the journal code so that each
time a metadata block is modified, we tag it with the journal
id of the node which is performing the modification.

The reason for this is that it should make it much easier to
debug issues which arise if we can tell which node was the
last to modify a particular metadata block.

Since the field is updated before the block is written into
the journal, each journal should only contain metadata which
is tagged with its own journal id. The one exception to this
is the journal header block, which might have a different node's
id in it, if that journal was recovered by another node in the
cluster.

Thus each journal will contain a record of which nodes recovered
it, via the journal header.

The other field in the metadata header could potentially be
used to hold information about what kind of operation was
performed, but for the time being we just zero it on each
transaction so that if we use it for that in future, we'll
know that the information (where it exists) is reliable.

I did consider using the other field to hold the journal
sequence number, however since in GFS2's journaling we write
the modified data into the journal and not the original
data, this gives no information as to what action caused the
modification, so I think we can probably come up with a better
use for those 64 bits in the future.
