fusion needs several separately allocated coherent regions and requires that they all be in the same 4GB segment. Obviously this may fail. The hack is to force the coherent_dma_mask to 0xffffffff thus ensuring that all the allocations occur within the first 4GB. This hack breaks Altix entirely.

This rolls up Marc Zyngier's EISA correction (first two) and adds a missed netdev_priv() conversion that was causing an oops on module removal.

Call pci_claim_resources() so we can see what PCI resources are being used.

Matthew Wilcox authored
On ia64, the parent resources are not necessarily PCI resources and so won't get found by pci_find_parent_resource. Use the shiny new insert_resource() function instead, which I think we would have used here had it been available at the time.

If we start again, we can return an error even if we were successful. Reset the result to 0 before beginning again. Why don't we use a tailcall here?

This prevents the "optimize && ?" message appearing when the kernel configuration tool is run. The message could be eliminated from the tool, but I'd rather fix the needlessly over-complicated expression:

We no longer have a CPU_OFFLINE notifier: we freeze the machine and kill the CPU atomically. Remove it.

Various files keep per-cpu caches which need to be freed/moved when a CPU goes down. All under CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU ifdefs. scsi.c: drain dead cpu's scsi_done_q onto this cpu. buffer.c: brelse the bh_lrus queue for dead cpu. timer.c: migrate timers from dead cpu, being careful of lock order vs __mod_timer. radix_tree.c: free dead cpu's radix_tree_preloads page_alloc.c: empty dead cpu's nr_pagecache_local into nr_pagecache, and free pages on cpu's local cache. slab.c: stop reap_timer for dead cpu, adjust each cache's free limit, and free each slab cache's per-cpu block. swap.c: drain dead cpu's lru_add_pvecs into ours, and empty its committed_space counter into global counter. dev.c: drain device queues from dead cpu into this one. flow.c: drain dead cpu's flow cache.

Keep track of kswapds: it's OK that they get moved off a node when the last CPU goes down, but when a CPU comes back, we should try to move the kswapd back onto its node.

Workqueues need to bring up/destroy the per-cpu thread on cpu up/down. 1) Add a global list of workqueues, and keep the name in the structure (to name the newly created thread). 2) Remove BUG_ON in run_workqueue, since thread is dragged off CPU when it goes down. 3) Lock out cpu up/down in flush_workqueue, create_workqueue and destroy_workqueue. 4) Add notifier to add/destroy workqueue threads, and take over work.

Change ksoftirqd not to assume it's on the CPU: when a cpu goes down, it will be rudely dragged off. Since do_softirq() uses smp_processor_id(), it's easiest to disable preemption, check that the cpu is still up, then call do_softirq(). If the cpu is actually offline, wait for the notifier, which kills us. Take over tasklets from dead cpu in the notifier. Clean up redundant double assignment in CPU_UP callback.

Add hook for RCU to handle jobs on dead cpu. Requires new tasklet_kill_immediate for RCU to clean up its tasklet (which might have been about to run, so tasklet_kill won't work).
-
Rusty Russell authored
Change the migration thread to directly use its cpu arg, rather than smp_processor_id(): if a cpu goes up then down rapidly, it can be on the wrong cpu just before it is stopped. Add code to stop the migration thread on CPU_DEAD and CPU_UP_CANCELED. Remove the (bogus) priority of the notifier.
-
Rusty Russell authored
We need the migration thread to be RT as soon as the CPU comes online: for example, stop_machine() (another RT task) expects to yield to it. Extract the core of setscheduler() and do that when the migration thread is created. rq lock is a precaution against the (theoretical) possibility of someone else doing setscheduer on this thread at the same time.
-
Rusty Russell authored
Currently the migration thread re-enables irqs, then calls move_task_away which disables IRQs again and actually does the move. This means there is a race where the migration thread gets preempted, and the target CPU can go down. Hold irqs disabled in migration thread across move_task_away(), which now doesn't need to save flags (the other caller is the hotplug CPU code, where irqs are also disabled).

Grab cpu lock around sched_migrate_task() and sys_sched_setaffinity(). This is a noop without CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU. The sched_migrate_task may have a performance penalty on NUMA if lots of exec rebalancing is happening, however this only applies to CONFIG_NUMA and CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU, which noone does at the moment anyway. Also, the scheduler in -mm solves the race another way, so this will vanish then.
-
Rusty Russell authored
Don't move tasks onto offline cpus in load_balance and wake_task (the latter is caused by a completion run from stop_machine). Note that cpu_is_offline() is a noop when CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=n.
-
Rusty Russell authored
Add "online" sysfs attribute to cpus to bring them up and down. Again, only under CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU.
-
Rusty Russell authored
Implement cpu_down(): uses stop_machine to freeze the machine, then uses (arch-specific) __cpu_disable() and migrate_all_tasks(). Whole thing under CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU, so doesn't break archs which don't define that.

From: Nikita Danilov <Nikita@Namesys.COM> remove_suid() ignores return value of notify_change()->i_op->setattr(). This mean, that even if file system fails to clear suid bit, generic_file_aio_write_nolock() proceeds with write, which is unsafe. Actually, even ext2's ->setattr() can fail, when trying to update ACL, for example. Attached patch modifies remove_suid() to return result of ->setattr(), and updates in-tree callers.
