Fix possible runqueue lock starvation in wait_task_inactive()

Miklos Szeredi reported very long pauses (several seconds, sometimes
more) on his T60 (with a Core2Duo) which he managed to track down to
wait_task_inactive()'s open-coded busy-loop.

He observed that an interrupt on one core tries to acquire the
runqueue-lock but does not succeed in doing so for a very long time -
while wait_task_inactive() on the other core loops waiting for the first
core to deschedule a task (which it wont do while spinning in an
interrupt handler).

This rewrites wait_task_inactive() to do all its waiting optimistically
without any locks taken at all, and then just double-check the end
result with the proper runqueue lock held over just a very short
section.  If there were races in the optimistic wait, of a preemption
event scheduled the process away, we simply re-synchronize, and start
over.

So the code now looks like this:

repeat:
/* Unlocked, optimistic looping! */
rq = task_rq(p);
while (task_running(rq, p))
cpu_relax();

/* Get the *real* values */

locking at all (and doesn't check for the case where the target process
might have been preempted away), and so it's possibly "incorrect", but
we don't really care.  Both the runqueue used, and the "task_running()"
check might be the wrong tests, but they won't oops - they just mean
that we could possibly get the wrong results due to lack of locking and
exit the loop early in the case of a race condition.

So once we've exited the loop, we then get the proper (and careful) rq
lock, and check the running/runnable state _safely_.  And if it turns
out that our quick-and-dirty and unsafe loop was wrong after all, we
just go back and try it all again.

(The patch also adds a lot of comments, which is the actual bulk of it
all, to make it more obvious why we can do these things without holding
the locks).

is not always effective in normalizing tasks back to SCHED_OTHER.

The reason for that turns out to be the following bug:

 - normalize_rt_tasks() uses for_each_process() to iterate through all
   tasks in the system.  The problem is, this method does not iterate
   through all tasks, it iterates through all thread groups.

The proper mechanism to enumerate over all threads is to use a

It not only introduced user space visible changes to the futex syscall,
it is also non-functional and there is no way to fix it proper before
the 2.6.22 release.

unanswered, and unfortunately it turned out that the concept is not
feasible at all.  It violates the rtmutex semantics badly by introducing
a virtual owner, which hacks around the coupling of the user-space
pi_futex and the kernel internal rt_mutex representation.

At the moment the only safe option is to remove it fully as it contains
user-space visible changes to broken kernel code, which we do not want
to expose in the 2.6.22 release.

The patch reverts the original patch mostly 1:1, but contains a couple
of trivial manual cleanups which were necessary due to patches, which
touched the same area of code later.

some changes might be lost leading to leakage of blocks, use of free blocks

Also udf_discard_prealloc() does two different things - it removes
preallocated blocks and truncates the last extent to exactly match i_size.
We move the latter functionality to udf_truncate_tail_extent(), call
udf_discard_prealloc() when last reference to a file is dropped and call
udf_truncate_tail_extent() when inode is being removed from inode cache
(udf_clear_inode() call).

We cannot call udf_truncate_tail_extent() earlier as subsequent open+write
would find the last block of the file mapped and happily write to the end
of it, although the last extent says it's shorter.

because the object size is padded to reach ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN.  Thus the

No arch sets ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN larger than 8 though except mips which
for some reason wants a 128 byte alignment.

This patch increases the size of the smallest cache if
ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN is greater than 8.  In that case more and more of the
smallest caches are disabled.

If we do that then the count of the active general caches that is displayed
on boot is not correct anymore since we may skip elements of the kmalloc

This is a race condition that is likely rare -- it would only show up if a
cpuset went from being empty to having a task in it, during the brief time
between the allocation and the first write.

Prior to roughly 2.6.22 kernels, this was also a benign problem, because a
zero kmalloc returned a few usable bytes anyway, and no harm was done with the
bogus write.

With the 2.6.22 kernel changes to make issue a warning if code tries to write
to the location returned from a zero size allocation, this problem is no
longer benign.  This cpuset code would occassionally trigger that warning.

The fix is trivial -- check before storing into the array, not after, whether
the array is big enough to hold the store.

fix radeon setparam on 32/64 systems, harder.

Commit 9b01bd5b284bbf519b726b39f1352023cb5e9e69 introduced a
compat_ioctl handler for RADEON_SETPARAM, the sole purpose of which was
to handle the fact that on i386, alignof(uint64_t)==4.

Unfortunately, this handler was installed for _all_ 64-bit
architectures, instead of only x86_64 and ia64.  And thus it breaks
32-bit compatibility on every other arch, where 64-bit integers are
aligned to 8 bytes in 32-bit mode just the same as in 64-bit mode.

Arnd has a cunning plan to use 'compat_u64' with appropriate alignment
attributes according to the 32-bit ABI, but for now let's just make the
compat_radeon_cp_setparam routine entirely disappear on 64-bit machines
whose 32-bit compat support isn't for i386.  It would be a no-op with
compat_u64 anyway.

WARNING: mm/built-in.o(.text+0x4e58): Section mismatch: reference to
.init.text: (between 'free_area_init_node' and '__build_all_zonelists')

This happens as a result of:

        -> free_area_init_node()
          -> free_area_init_core()
            -> zone_pcp_init() <-- all __meminit up to this point
              -> zone_batchsize() <-- marked as __cpuinit                     fo

This happens because CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=n sets __cpuinit to __init, but
CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG=y unsets __meminit.

Changing zone_batchsize() to __devinit fixes this.

__devinit is the only thing that is common between CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=y and
CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG=y. In the long run, perhaps this should be moved to
another section identifier completely. Without this, memory hot-add

Tejun Heo [Fri, 15 Jun 2007 11:24:28 +0000 (13:24 +0200)] 
block: always requeue !fs requests at the front

SCSI marks internal commands with REQ_PREEMPT and push it at the front
of the request queue using blk_execute_rq().  When entering suspended
or frozen state, SCSI devices are quiesced using
scsi_device_quiesce().  In quiesced state, only REQ_PREEMPT requests
are processed.  This is how SCSI blocks other requests out while
suspending and resuming.  As all internal commands are pushed at the
front of the queue, this usually works.

Unfortunately, this interacts badly with ordered requeueing.  To
preserve request order on requeueing (due to busy device, active EH or
other failures), requests are sorted according to ordered sequence on
requeue if IO barrier is in progress.

The following sequence deadlocks.

1. IO barrier sequence issues.

2. Suspend requested.  Queue is quiesced with part or all of IO
   barrier sequence at the front.

3. During suspending or resuming, SCSI issues internal command which
   gets deferred and requeued for some reason.  As the command is
   issued after the IO barrier in #1, ordered requeueing code puts the
   request after IO barrier sequence.

4. The device is ready to process requests again but still is in
   quiesced state and the first request of the queue isn't
   REQ_PREEMPT, so command processing is deadlocked -
   suspending/resuming waits for the issued request to complete while
   the request can't be processed till device is put back into
   running state by resuming.

This can be fixed by always putting !fs requests at the front when
requeueing.

The following thread reports this deadlock.

variable in the loop to decide when spd has emptied.

Instead we want to compare to the original page count in

[IPV6] addrconf: Fix IPv6 on tuntap tunnels

The recent patch that added ipv6_hwtype is broken on tuntap tunnels.
Indeed, it's broken on any device that does not pass the ipv6_hwtype
test.

The reason is that the original test only applies to autoconfiguration,
not IPv6 support.  IPv6 support is allowed on any device.  In fact,
even with the ipv6_hwtype patch applied you can still add IPv6 addresses
to any interface that doesn't pass thw ipv6_hwtype test provided that
they have a sufficiently large MTU.  This is a serious problem because
come deregistration time these devices won't be cleaned up properly.

I've gone back and looked at the rationale for the patch.  It appears
that the real problem is that we were creating IPv6 devices even if the
MTU was too small.  So here's a patch which fixes that and reverts the
ipv6_hwtype stuff.

Thanks to Kanru Chen for reporting this issue.

However, commit 69331af79cf29e26d1231152a172a1a10c2df511

the buffered messages never being displayed to the user.
