prepare_reply() sets up an skb for the response. The payload contains: +--------------------------------+ | genlmsghdr - 4 bytes | +--------------------------------+ | NLA header - 4 bytes | /* Aggregate header */ +-+------------------------------+ | | NLA header - 4 bytes | /* PID header */ | +------------------------------+ | | pid/tgid - 4 bytes | | +------------------------------+ | | NLA header - 4 bytes | /* stats header */ | + -----------------------------+ <- oops. aligned on 4 byte boundary | | struct taskstats - 328 bytes | +-+------------------------------+ The start of the taskstats struct must be 8 byte aligned on IA64 (and other systems with 8 byte alignment rules for 64-bit types) or runtime alignment warnings will be issued. This patch pads the pid/tgid field out to sizeof(long), which forces the alignment of taskstats. The getdelays userspace code is ok with this since it assumes 32-bit pid/tgid and then honors that header's length field. An array is used to avoid exposing kernel memory contents to userspace in the response. Signed-off-by:

Task delay-accounting was identified as one means of determining how long a process spends in congestion_wait() without adding new statistics. For example, if the workload should not be doing IO, delay-accounting could reveal how long it was spending in unexpected IO or delays. Unfortunately, on closer examination it was clear that getdelays does not act as documented. Commit a3baf649 ("per-task-delay-accounting: documentation") added Documentation/accounting/getdelays.c with a -c switch that was documented to fork/exec a child and report statistics on it but for reasons that are unclear to me, commit 9e06d3f9 deleted support for this switch but did not update the documentation. It might be an oversight or it might be because the control flow of the program meant that accounting information would be printed once early in the lifetime of the program making it of limited use. This patch reimplements -c for getdelays.c to act as documented. Unlike the original version, it waits until the command completes before printing any information on it. An example of it being used looks like $ ./getdelays -d -c find /home/mel -name mel print delayacct stats ON /home/mel /home/mel/.notes-wine/drive_c/windows/profiles/mel /home/mel/.wine/drive_c/windows/profiles/mel /home/mel/git-configs/dot.kde/share/apps/konqueror/home/mel PID 5923 CPU count real total virtual total delay total 42779 5051232096 5164722692 564207988 IO count delay total 41727 97804147758 SWAP count delay total 0 0 RECLAIM count delay total 0 0 [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes] Signed-off-by:

We have the namespaces as a menuconfig like the cgroup. The cgroup and the namespace are two base bricks for the containers. It is more logical to put the namespace menu right after the cgroup menu. Signed-off-by:

Detects RIO link to the already enumerated device and properly sets links between device objects. Changes to the enumeration/discovery logic: 1. Use Master Enable bit to signal end of the enumeration - agents may start their discovery process as soon as they see this bit set (Component Tag register was used before for this purpose). 2. Enumerator sets Component Tag (!= 0) immediately during device setup. This allows to identify the device if the redundant route exists in a RIO system. Signed-off-by:

This set of RapidIO patches extends support for standard error recovery mechanism and adds new IDT Gen2 sRIO switch devices - CPS-1848 and CPS-1616. Implementation of the standard error-stopped state recovery mechanism (as defined by the RapidIO specification) is required for the new switches. Version 2 of this set of patches addresses received comments and fixes an error notification setup issue found in the idt_gen2.c after the first version was released. This patch: Make RapidIO devices appear in /sys/devices/rapidio directory instead of top of /sys/devices directory. Signed-off-by:

Fix a long standing bug with per device locking. Each device has an associated spinlock for synchronizing access to hardware and state information with the ISR. A single hardware card has one or more devices. Bug: Non ISR code correctly acquires and releases the per device lock. ISR incorrectly always acquires and releases the lock of the first device on the card. The decoupled and list based nature of the ISR and deferred processing interaction allowed this to work in normal operation. Exceptional events like an application forcing hardware shutdown, reset, or reconfiguration while active can trigger the bug. Fixed ISR to acquire and release the per device lock. One exception is manipulation of the GPIO card resource which is global and effectively owned by the first device of the card. Non-ISR access to GPIO resource is changed to use lock of first device on card. Signed-off-by:

The kernel currently provides no functionality to analyze the RSS and swap space usage of each individual sysvipc shared memory segment. This patch adds this info for each existing shm segment by extending the output of /proc/sysvipc/shm by two columns for RSS and swap. Since shmctl(SHM_INFO) already provides a similiar calculation (it currently sums up all RSS/swap info for all segments), I did split out a static function which is now used by the /proc/sysvipc/shm output and shmctl(SHM_INFO). SAP products (esp. the SAP Netweaver ABAP Kernel) uses lots of big shared memory segments (we often have Linux systems with >= 16GB shm usage). Sometimes we get customer reports about "slow" system responses and while looking into their configurations we often find massive swapping activity on the system. With this patch it's now easy to see from the command line if and which shm segments gets swapped out (and how much) and can more easily give recommendations for system tuning. Without the patch it's currently not possible to do such shm analysis at all. Also... Add some spaces in front of the "size" field for 64bit kernels to get the columns correct if you cat the contents of the file. In sysvipc_shm_proc_show() the kernel prints the size value in "SPEC_SIZE" format, which is defined like this: #if BITS_PER_LONG <= 32 #define SIZE_SPEC "%10lu" #else #define SIZE_SPEC "%21lu" #endif So, if the header is not adjusted, the columns are not correctly aligned. I actually tested this on 32- and 64-bit and it seems correct now. Signed-off-by:

Presently do_execve() turns PF_KTHREAD off before search_binary_handler(). THis has a theorical risk of PF_KTHREAD getting lost. We don't have to turn PF_KTHREAD off in the ENOEXEC case. This patch moves this flag modification to after the finding of the executable file. This is only a theorical issue because kthreads do not call do_execve() directly. But fixing would be better.
