2008-08-05Remove the deprecated cli() sti() functionsMark Asselstine
These functions have been deprecated for some time now but remained until all legacy callers could be removed. With a few commits in 2.6.26 this has happened so now we can remove these deprecated functions.

2008-08-05kdump: report actual value of VMCOREINFO_OSRELEASE in VMCOREINFOBernhard Walle
The current implementation reports the structure name as VMCOREINFO_OSRELEASE in VMCOREINFO, e.g. VMCOREINFO_OSRELEASE=init_uts_ns.name.release That doesn't make sense because it's always the same. Instead, use the value, e.g. VMCOREINFO_OSRELEASE=2.6.26-rc3 That's also what the 'makedumpfile -g' does.

2008-08-05SLUB: dynamic per-cache MIN_PARTIALPekka Enberg
This patch changes the static MIN_PARTIAL to a dynamic per-cache ->min_partial value that is calculated from object size. The bigger the object size, the more pages we keep on the partial list. I tested SLAB, SLUB, and SLUB with this patch on Jens Axboe's 'netio' example script of the fio benchmarking tool. The script stresses the networking subsystem which should also give a fairly good beating of kmalloc() et al. To run the test yourself, first clone the fio repository: git clone git://git.kernel.dk/fio.git and then run the following command n times on your machine: time ./fio examples/netio The results on my 2-way 64-bit x86 machine are as follows: [ the minimum, maximum, and average are captured from 50 individual runs ] real time (seconds) min max avg sd SLAB 22.76 23.38 22.98 0.17 SLUB 22.80 25.78 23.46 0.72 SLUB (dynamic) 22.74 23.54 23.00 0.20 sys time (seconds) min max avg sd SLAB 6.90 8.28 7.70 0.28 SLUB 7.42 16.95 8.89 2.28 SLUB (dynamic) 7.17 8.64 7.73 0.29 user time (seconds) min max avg sd SLAB 36.89 38.11 37.50 0.29 SLUB 30.85 37.99 37.06 1.67 SLUB (dynamic) 36.75 38.07 37.59 0.32 As you can see from the above numbers, this patch brings SLUB to the same level as SLAB for this particular workload fixing a ~2% regression. I'd expect this change to help similar workloads that allocate a lot of objects that are close to the size of a page.

2008-08-04net: Kill plain NET_XMIT_BYPASS.David S. Miller
dst_input() was doing something completely absurd, looping on skb->dst->input() if NET_XMIT_BYPASS was seen, but these functions never return such an error. And as a result plain ole' NET_XMIT_BYPASS has no more references and can be completely killed off. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-08-04net_sched: Add qdisc __NET_XMIT_STOLEN flagJarek Poplawski
Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> noticed: "The other problem that affects all qdiscs supporting actions is TC_ACT_QUEUED/TC_ACT_STOLEN getting mapped to NET_XMIT_SUCCESS even though the packet is not queued, corrupting upper qdiscs' qlen counters." and later explained: "The reason why it translates it at all seems to be to not increase the drops counter. Within a single qdisc this could be avoided by other means easily, upper qdiscs would still increase the counter when we return anything besides NET_XMIT_SUCCESS though. This means we need a new NET_XMIT return value to indicate this to the upper qdiscs. So I'd suggest to introduce NET_XMIT_STOLEN, return that to upper qdiscs and translate it to NET_XMIT_SUCCESS in dev_queue_xmit, similar to NET_XMIT_BYPASS." David Miller <davem@davemloft.net> noticed: "Maybe these NET_XMIT_* values being passed around should be a set of bits. They could be composed of base meanings, combined with specific attributes. So you could say "NET_XMIT_DROP | __NET_XMIT_NO_DROP_COUNT" The attributes get masked out by the top-level ->enqueue() caller, such that the base meanings are the only thing that make their way up into the stack. If it's only about communication within the qdisc tree, let's simply code it that way." This patch is trying to realize these ideas.

2008-08-01tracehook: fix exit_signal=0 caseRoland McGrath
My commit 2b2a1ff64afbadac842bbc58c5166962cf4f7664 introduced a regression (sorry about that) for the odd case of exit_signal=0 (e.g. clone_flags=0). This is not a normal use, but it's used by a case in the glibc test suite. Dying with exit_signal=0 sends no signal, but it's supposed to wake up a parent's blocked wait*() calls (unlike the delayed_group_leader case). This fixes tracehook_notify_death() and its caller to distinguish a "signal 0" wakeup from the delayed_group_leader case (with no wakeup).

2008-08-01[S390] Optimize storage key operations for anon pagesMartin Schwidefsky
For anonymous pages without a swap cache backing the check in page_remove_rmap for the physical dirty bit in page_remove_rmap is unnecessary. The instructions that are used to check and reset the dirty bit are expensive. Removing the check noticably speeds up process exit. In addition the clearing of the dirty bit in __SetPageUptodate is pointless as well. With these two changes there is no storage key operation for an anonymous page anymore if it does not hit the swap space. The micro benchmark which repeatedly executes an empty shell script gets about 5% faster. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>

2008-07-31ipvs: Move userspace definitions to include/linux/ip_vs.hJulius Volz
Current versions of ipvsadm include "/usr/src/linux/include/net/ip_vs.h" directly. This file also contains kernel-only definitions. Normally, public definitions should live in include/linux, so this patch moves the definitions shared with userspace to a new file, "include/linux/ip_vs.h". This also removes the unused NFC_IPVS_PROPERTY bitmask, which was once used to point into skb->nfcache. To make old ipvsadms still compile with this, the old header file includes the new one. Thanks to Dave Miller and Horms for noting/adding the missing Kbuild entry for the new header file.

2008-07-31netdev: Fix lockdep warnings in multiqueue configurations.David S. Miller
When support for multiple TX queues were added, the netif_tx_lock() routines we converted to iterate over all TX queues and grab each queue's spinlock. This causes heartburn for lockdep and it's not a healthy thing to do with lots of TX queues anyways. So modify this to use a top-level lock and a "frozen" state for the individual TX queues.

2008-07-31[PATCH] configfs: Convenience macros for attribute definition.Joel Becker
Sysfs has the _ATTR() and _ATTR_RO() macros to make defining extended form attributes easier. configfs should have something similiar. - _CONFIGFS_ATTR() and _CONFIGFS_ATTR_RO() are the counterparts to the sysfs macros. - CONFIGFS_ATTR_STRUCT() creates the extended form attribute structure. - CONFIGFS_ATTR_OPS() defines the show_attribute()/store_attribute() operations that call the show()/store() operations of the extended form configfs_attributes.

2008-07-31[PATCH] configfs: Include linux/err.h in linux/configfs.hJoel Becker
We now use PTR_ERR() in the ->make_item() and ->make_group() operations. Folks including configfs.h need err.h. Signed-off-by: Joel Becker <joel.becker@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mfasheh@suse.com>
2008-07-31lockdep: fix combinatorial explosion in lock subgraph traversalDavid Miller
When we traverse the graph, either forwards or backwards, we are interested in whether a certain property exists somewhere in a node reachable in the graph. Therefore it is never necessary to traverse through a node more than once to get a correct answer to the given query. Take advantage of this property using a global ID counter so that we need not clear all the markers in all the lock_class entries before doing a traversal. A new ID is choosen when we start to traverse, and we continue through a lock_class only if it's ID hasn't been marked with the new value yet. This short-circuiting is essential especially for high CPU count systems. The scheduler has a runqueue per cpu, and needs to take two runqueue locks at a time, which leads to long chains of backwards and forwards subgraphs from these runqueue lock nodes. Without the short-circuit implemented here, a graph traversal on a runqueue lock can take up to (1 << (N - 1)) checks on a system with N cpus. For anything more than 16 cpus or so, lockdep will eventually bring the machine to a complete standstill. Signed-off-by: David S.

2008-07-31sched clock: revert various sched_clock() changesIngo Molnar
Found an interactivity problem on a quad core test-system - simple CPU loops would occasionally delay the system un an unacceptable way. After much debugging with Peter Zijlstra it turned out that the problem is caused by the string of sched_clock() changes - they caused the CPU clock to jump backwards a bit - which confuses the scheduler arithmetics. (which is unsigned for performance reasons) So revert: # c300ba2: sched_clock: and multiplier for TSC to gtod drift # c0c8773: sched_clock: only update deltas with local reads. # af52a90: sched_clock: stop maximum check on NO HZ # f7cce27: sched_clock: widen the max and min time This solves the interactivity problems.
