2007-10-18[PATCH] p54: Make filter configuration atomicMichael Wu
p54_set_filter is now called from configure_filter, which is not allowed to sleep. The filter configuration packet allocation should be atomic now.

2007-10-18[PATCH] rtl8187: Fix more frag bit checking, rts duration calcMichael Wu
The wrong pointer is passed to ieee80211_get_morefrag. Fix this. While we're at it, reorder things so they look better and the rts duration calculation is done with the right length. Thanks to Christoph Hellwig for finding the ieee80211_get_morefrag issue. Signed-off-by: Michael Wu <flamingice@sourmilk.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2007-10-18[PATCH] ipw2100: send WEXT scan eventsDan Williams
ipw2100 wasn't sending WEXT scan events at all on scan completion. And like ipw2200, the driver aggressively auto-scans, requiring non-user-requested scan events to be batched together and sent at specific intervals instead of many times per seconds.

2007-10-15sched: sync wakeups preempt tooIngo Molnar
make sure sync wakeups preempt too - the scheduler will not overschedule as we've got various throttles against that. As a result, sync wakeups can be used more widely in the kernel (to signal wakeup affinity between tasks), and no arbitrary latencies will be introduced either. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2007-10-15sched: affine sync wakeupsIngo Molnar
make sync wakeups affine for cache-cold tasks: if a cache-cold task is woken up by a sync wakeup then use the opportunity to migrate it straight away. (the two tasks are 'related' because they communicate) Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2007-10-15sched: guest CPU accounting: maintain stats in account_system_time()Laurent Vivier
modify account_system_time() to add cputime to cpustat->guest if we are running a VCPU. We add this cputime to cpustat->user instead of cpustat->system because this part of KVM code is in fact user code although it is executed in the kernel. We duplicate VCPU time between guest and user to allow an unmodified "top(1)" to display correct value. A modified "top(1)" is able to display good cpu user time and cpu guest time by subtracting cpu guest time from cpu user time. Update "gtime" in task_struct accordingly.

2007-10-15sched: guest CPU accounting: add guest-CPU /proc/<pid>/stat fieldsLaurent Vivier
like for cpustat, introduce the "gtime" (guest time of the task) and "cgtime" (guest time of the task children) fields for the tasks. Modify signal_struct and task_struct. Modify /proc/<pid>/stat to display these new fields. Signed-off-by: Laurent Vivier <Laurent.Vivier@bull.net> Acked-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2007-10-15sched: guest CPU accounting: add guest-CPU /proc/stat fieldLaurent Vivier
as recent CPUs introduce a third running state, after "user" and "system", we need a new field, "guest", in cpustat to store the time used by the CPU to run virtual CPU. Modify /proc/stat to display this new field. Signed-off-by: Laurent Vivier <Laurent.Vivier@bull.net> Acked-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2007-10-15sched: domain sysctl fixes: do not crash on allocation failureMilton Miller
Now that we are calling this at runtime, a more relaxed error path is suggested. If an allocation fails, we just register the partial table, which will show empty directories. Signed-off-by: Milton Miller <miltonm@bga.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2007-10-15sched: domain sysctl fixes: unregister the sysctl table before domainsMilton Miller
Unregister and free the sysctl table before destroying domains, then rebuild and register after creating the new domains. This prevents the sysctl table from pointing to freed memory for root to write. Signed-off-by: Milton Miller <miltonm@bga.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2007-10-15sched: domain sysctl fixes: use for_each_online_cpu()Milton Miller
init_sched_domain_sysctl was walking cpus 0-n and referencing per_cpu variables. If the cpus_possible mask is not contigious this will result in a crash referencing unallocated data. If the online mask is not contigious then we would show offline cpus and miss online ones. Signed-off-by: Milton Miller <miltonm@bga.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2007-10-15Make scheduler debug file operations constArjan van de Ven
In general, struct file_operations are const in the kernel, to not have false cacheline sharing and to catch bugs at compiletime with accidental writes to them.

2007-10-15sched: speed up context-switches a bitIngo Molnar

2007-10-15sched: cleanup: refactor common code of sleep_on / wait_for_completionAndi Kleen
Refactor common code of sleep_on / wait_for_completion These functions were largely cut'n'pasted. This moves the common code into single helpers instead. Advantage is about 1k less code on x86-64 and 91 lines of code removed. It adds one function call to the non timeout version of the functions; i don't expect this to be measurable.

2007-10-15sched: prevent wakeup over-schedulingMike Galbraith
Prevent wakeup over-scheduling. Once a task has been preempted by a task of the same or lower priority, it becomes ineligible for repeated preemption by same until it has been ticked, or slept. Instead, the task is marked for preemption at the next tick. Tasks of higher priority still preempt immediately.
