This patch reverts notifier_block changes made in 2.6.17 Signed-off-by: Chandra Seetharaman <sekharan@us.ibm.com> Cc: Ashok Raj <ashok.raj@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2006-06-27[PATCH] cpu hotplug: revert init patch submitted for 2.6.17Chandra Seetharaman
In 2.6.17, there was a problem with cpu_notifiers and XFS. I provided a band-aid solution to solve that problem. In the process, i undid all the changes you both were making to ensure that these notifiers were available only at init time (unless CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is defined). We deferred the real fix to 2.6.18. Here is a set of patches that fixes the XFS problem cleanly and makes the cpu notifiers available only at init time (unless CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is defined). If CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is defined then cpu notifiers are available at run time.

2006-06-25[PATCH] cpu hotplug: fix CPU_UP_CANCEL handlingHeiko Carstens
If a cpu hotplug callback fails on CPU_UP_PREPARE, all callbacks will be called with CPU_UP_CANCELED. A few of these callbacks assume that on CPU_UP_PREPARE a pointer to task has been stored in a percpu array. This assumption is not true if CPU_UP_PREPARE fails and the following calls to kthread_bind() in CPU_UP_CANCELED will cause an addressing exception because of passing a NULL pointer.

2006-04-26[PATCH] Remove __devinit and __cpuinit from notifier_call definitionsChandra Seetharaman
Few of the notifier_chain_register() callers use __init in the definition of notifier_call. It is incorrect as the function definition should be available after the initializations (they do not unregister them during initializations). This patch fixes all such usages to _not_ have the notifier_call __init section. Signed-off-by: Chandra Seetharaman <sekharan@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2006-04-26[PATCH] Remove __devinitdata from notifier block definitionsChandra Seetharaman
Few of the notifier_chain_register() callers use __devinitdata in the definition of notifier_block data structure. It is incorrect as the data structure should be available after the initializations (they do not unregister them during initializations). This was leading to an oops when notifier_chain_register() call is invoked for those callback chains after initialization. This patch fixes all such usages to _not_ have the notifier_block data structure in the init data section.

2006-03-22[PATCH] on_each_cpu(): disable local interruptsAndrew Morton
When on_each_cpu() runs the callback on other CPUs, it runs with local interrupts disabled. So we should run the function with local interrupts disabled on this CPU, too. And do the same for UP, so the callback is run in the same environment on both UP and SMP. (strictly it should do preempt_disable() too, but I think local_irq_disable is sufficiently equivalent). Also uninlines on_each_cpu(). softirq.c was the most appropriate file I could find, but it doesn't seem to justify creating a new file. Oh, and fix up that comment over (under?) x86's smp_call_function(). It drives me nuts. Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-11-07[PATCH] cpu hoptlug: avoid usage of smp_processor_id() in preemptible codeHeiko Carstens
Replace smp_processor_id() with any_online_cpu(cpu_online_map) in order to avoid lots of "BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000001] code:..." messages in case taking a cpu online fails. All the traces start at the last notifier_call_chain(...) in kernel/cpu.c. Since we hold the cpu_control semaphore it shouldn't be any problem to access cpu_online_map. The reason why cpu_up failed is simply that the cpu that was supposed to be taken online wasn't even there. That is because on s390 we never know when a new cpu comes and therefore cpu_possible_map consists of only ones and doesn't reflect reality.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
