2008-07-25S390 topology: don't use kthread() for arch_reinit_sched_domains()Oleg Nesterov
Now that it is safe to use get_online_cpus() we can revert [S390] cpu topology: Fix possible deadlock. commit: fd781fa25c9e9c6fd1599df060b05e7c4ad724e5 and call arch_reinit_sched_domains() directly from topology_work_fn().

2008-07-25workqueues: make get_online_cpus() useable for work->func()Oleg Nesterov
workqueue_cpu_callback(CPU_DEAD) flushes cwq->thread under cpu_maps_update_begin(). This means that the multithreaded workqueues can't use get_online_cpus() due to the possible deadlock, very bad and very old problem. Introduce the new state, CPU_POST_DEAD, which is called after cpu_hotplug_done() but before cpu_maps_update_done(). Change workqueue_cpu_callback() to use CPU_POST_DEAD instead of CPU_DEAD. This means that create/destroy functions can't rely on get_online_cpus() any longer and should take cpu_add_remove_lock instead.

2008-07-25workqueues: implement flush_work()Oleg Nesterov
Most of users of flush_workqueue() can be changed to use cancel_work_sync(), but sometimes we really need to wait for the completion and cancelling is not an option. schedule_on_each_cpu() is good example. Add the new helper, flush_work(work), which waits for the completion of the specific work_struct. More precisely, it "flushes" the result of of the last queue_work() which is visible to the caller. For example, this code queue_work(wq, work); /* WINDOW */ queue_work(wq, work); flush_work(work); doesn't necessary work "as expected". What can happen in the WINDOW above is - wq starts the execution of work->func() - the caller migrates to another CPU now, after the 2nd queue_work() this work is active on the previous CPU, and at the same time it is queued on another. In this case flush_work(work) may return before the first work->func() completes. It is trivial to add another helper int flush_work_sync(struct work_struct *work) { return flush_work(work) || wait_on_work(work); } which works "more correctly", but it has to iterate over all CPUs and thus it much slower than flush_work().

insert_work() inserts the new work_struct before or after cwq->worklist, depending on the "int tail" parameter. Change it to accept "list_head *" instead, this shrinks .text a bit and allows us to insert the barrier after specific work_struct.

2008-07-25coredump: format_corename: fix the "core_uses_pid" logicOleg Nesterov
I don't understand why the multi-thread coredump implies the core_uses_pid behaviour, but we shouldn't use mm->mm_users for that. This counter can be incremented by get_task_mm(). Use the valued returned by coredump_wait() instead. Also, remove the "const char *pattern" argument, format_corename() can use core_pattern directly.

2008-07-25coredump: construct the list of coredumping threads at startup timeOleg Nesterov
binfmt->core_dump() has to iterate over the all threads in system in order to find the coredumping threads and construct the list using the GFP_ATOMIC allocations. With this patch each thread allocates the list node on exit_mm()'s stack and adds itself to the list. This allows us to do further changes: - simplify ->core_dump() - change exit_mm() to clear ->mm first, then wait for ->core_done. this makes the coredumping process visible to oom_kill - kill mm->core_done Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@tv-sign.ru> Acked-by: Roland McGrath <roland@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2008-07-25coredump: elf_core_dump: skip kernel threadsOleg Nesterov
linux_binfmt->core_dump() runs before the process does exit_aio(), this means that we can hit the kernel thread which shares the same ->mm. Afaics, nothing really bad can happen, but perhaps it makes sense to fix this minor bug. It is sad we have to iterate over all threads in system and use GFP_ATOMIC. Hopefully we can kill theses ugly do_each_thread()s, but this needs some nontrivial changes in mm_struct and do_coredump.

2008-07-25kill PF_BORROWED_MM in favour of PF_KTHREADOleg Nesterov
Kill PF_BORROWED_MM. Change use_mm/unuse_mm to not play with ->flags, and do s/PF_BORROWED_MM/PF_KTHREAD/ for a couple of other users. No functional changes yet. But this allows us to do further fixes/cleanups. oom_kill/ptrace/etc often check "p->mm != NULL" to filter out the kthreads, this is wrong because of use_mm(). The problem with PF_BORROWED_MM is that we need task_lock() to avoid races. With this patch we can check PF_KTHREAD directly, or use a simple lockless helper: /* The result must not be dereferenced !!! */ struct mm_struct *__get_task_mm(struct task_struct *tsk) { if (tsk->flags & PF_KTHREAD) return NULL; return tsk->mm; } Note also ecard_task(). It runs with ->mm != NULL, but it's the kernel thread without PF_BORROWED_MM.

2008-07-25introduce PF_KTHREAD flagOleg Nesterov
Introduce the new PF_KTHREAD flag to mark the kernel threads. It is set by INIT_TASK() and copied to the forked childs (we could set it in kthreadd() along with PF_NOFREEZE instead). daemonize() was changed as well. In that case testing of PF_KTHREAD is racy, but daemonize() is hopeless anyway. This flag is cleared in do_execve(), before search_binary_handler(). Probably not the best place, we can do this in exec_mmap() or in start_thread(), or clear it along with PF_FORKNOEXEC. But I think this doesn't matter in practice, and if do_execve() fails kthread should die soon.

2008-07-25ptrace: simplify ptrace_stop()->sigkill_pending() pathOleg Nesterov
1. SIGKILL can't be blocked, remove this check from sigkill_pending(). 2. When ptrace_stop() sees sigkill_pending() == T, it can just return. Kill "int killed" and simplify the code. This also is more correct, the tracer shouldn't see us in TASK_TRACED if we are not going to stop. I strongly believe this code needs further changes. We should do the "was this task killed" check unconditionally, currently it depends on arch_ptrace_stop_needed(). On the other hand, sigkill_pending() isn't very clever. If the task was killed tkill(SIGKILL), the signal can be already dequeued if the caller is do_exit().

2008-07-25ptrace: give more respect to SIGKILLOleg Nesterov
ptrace_stop() has some complicated checks to prevent the scheduling in the TASK_TRACED state with the pending SIGKILL, but these checks are racy, and they depend on arch_ptrace_stop_needed(). This patch assumes that the traced task should die asap if it was killed by SIGKILL, in that case schedule()->signal_pending_state() has no reason to ignore the TASK_WAKEKILL part of TASK_TRACED, and we can kill this nasty special case. Note: do_exit()->ptrace_notify() is special, the killed task can already dequeue SIGKILL at this point. Another indication that fatal_signal_pending() is not exactly right.

This was added by 788e05a67c343fa22f2ae1d3ca264e7f15c25eaf a long ago to avoid the coredump/SIGSTOP race. Since then the related code was changed, and now this subtle check is both incomplete and unneeded at the same time. It is incomplete because nowadays exec() doesn't set SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT, so in fact we should check signal_group_exit() to avoid a similar race. Fortunately, we doesn't need the check at all.

It also reduce memory consumed and some works in rebuild_sched_domains() too.

2008-07-25cpusets: update task's cpus_allowed and mems_allowed after CPU/NODE ↵Miao Xie
offline/online The bug is that a task may run on the cpu/node which is not in its cpuset.cpus/ cpuset.mems. It can be reproduced by the following commands: ----------------------------------- # mkdir /dev/cpuset # mount -t cpuset xxx /dev/cpuset # mkdir /dev/cpuset/0 # echo 0-1 > /dev/cpuset/0/cpus # echo 0 > /dev/cpuset/0/mems # echo $$ > /dev/cpuset/0/tasks # echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online # echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online ----------------------------------- There is only CPU0 in cpuset.cpus, but the task in this cpuset runs on both CPU0 and CPU1. It is because the task's cpu_allowed didn't get updated after we did CPU offline/online manipulation. Similar for mem_allowed. This patch fixes this bug expect for root cpuset. Because there is a problem about root cpuset, in that whether it is necessary to update all the tasks in root cpuset or not after cpu/node offline/online. If updating, some kernel threads which is bound into a specified cpu will be unbound. If not updating, there is a bug in root cpuset. This bug is also caused by offline/online manipulation. For example, there is a dual-cpu machine. we create a sub cpuset in root cpuset and assign 1 to its cpus. And then we attach some tasks into this sub cpuset. After this, we offline CPU1. Now, the tasks in this new cpuset are moved into root cpuset automatically because there is no cpu in sub cpuset. Then we online CPU1, we find all the tasks which doesn't belong to root cpuset originally just run on CPU0. Maybe we need to add a flag in the task_struct to mark which task can't be unbound?

2008-07-25memcg: remove a redundant checkKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
Because of remove refcnt patch, it's very rare case to that mem_cgroup_charge_common() is called against a page which is accounted. mem_cgroup_charge_common() is called when. 1. a page is added into file cache. 2. an anon page is _newly_ mapped. A racy case is that a newly-swapped-in anonymous page is referred from prural threads in do_swap_page() at the same time. (a page is not Locked when mem_cgroup_charge() is called from do_swap_page.) Another case is shmem. It charges its page before calling add_to_page_cache(). Then, mem_cgroup_charge_cache() is called twice. This case is handled in mem_cgroup_cache_charge(). But this check may be too hacky... Signed-off-by : KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com> Cc: Balbir Singh <balbir@in.ibm.com> Cc: "Eric W.

A new call, mem_cgroup_shrink_usage() is added for shmem handling and relacing non-standard usage of mem_cgroup_charge/uncharge. Now, shmem calls mem_cgroup_charge() just for reclaim some pages from mem_cgroup. In general, shmem is used by some process group and not for global resource (like file caches). So, it's reasonable to reclaim pages from mem_cgroup where shmem is mainly used.

2008-07-25memcg: better migration handlingKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
This patch changes page migration under memory controller to use a different algorithm. (thanks to Christoph for new idea.) Before: - page_cgroup is migrated from an old page to a new page. After: - a new page is accounted , no reuse of page_cgroup. Pros: - We can avoid compliated lock depndencies and races in migration. Cons: - new param to mem_cgroup_charge_common(). - mem_cgroup_getref() is added for handling ref_cnt ping-pong. This version simplifies complicated lock dependency in page migraiton under memory resource controller. new refcnt sequence is following. a mapped page: prepage_migration() ..... +1 to NEW page try_to_unmap() ..... all refs to OLD page is gone. move_pages() ..... +1 to NEW page if page cache. remap... ..... all refs from *map* is added to NEW one. end_migration() ..... -1 to New page. page's mapcount + (page_is_cache) refs are added to NEW one.
