cancel_rearming_delayed_workqueue(wq, dwork) doesn't need the first
parameter. We don't hang on un-queued dwork any longer, and work->data
doesn't change its type. This means we can always figure out "wq" from
dwork when it is needed.
Remove this parameter, and rename the function to
cancel_rearming_delayed_work(). Re-create an inline "obsolete"
cancel_rearming_delayed_workqueue(wq) which just calls
cancel_rearming_delayed_work().

Currently typeof(delayed_work->work.data) is
"struct workqueue_struct" when the timer is pending
"struct cpu_workqueue_struct" whe the work is queued
This makes impossible to use flush_fork(delayed_work->work) in addition
to cancel_delayed_work/cancel_rearming_delayed_work, not good.
Change queue_delayed_work/delayed_work_timer_fn to use cwq, not wq. This
complicates (and uglifies) these functions a little bit, but alows us to
use flush_fork(dwork) and imho makes the whole code more consistent.

Currently CPU_DEAD uses kthread_stop() to stop cwq->thread and then
transfers cwq->worklist to another CPU. However, it is very unlikely that
worker_thread() will notice kthread_should_stop() before flushing
cwq->worklist. It is only possible if worker_thread() was preempted after
run_workqueue(cwq), a new work_struct was added, and CPU_DEAD happened
before cwq->thread has a chance to run.
This means that take_over_work() mostly adds unneeded complications. Note
also that kthread_stop() is not good per se, wake_up_process() may confuse
work->func() if it sleeps waiting for some event.
Remove take_over_work() and migrate_sequence complications. CPU_DEAD sets
the cwq->should_stop flag (introduced by this patch) and waits for
cwq->thread to flush cwq->worklist and exit. Because the dead CPU is not
on cpu_online_map, no more works can be added to that cwq.
cpu_populated_map was introduced to optimize for_each_possible_cpu(), it is
not strictly needed, and it is more a documentation in fact.

Many thanks to Srivatsa Vaddagiri for the helpful discussion and for spotting
the bug in my previous attempt.
work->func() (and thus flush_workqueue()) must not use workqueue_mutex,
this leads to deadlock when CPU_DEAD does kthread_stop(). However without
this mutex held we can't detect CPU_DEAD in progress, which can move pending
works to another CPU while the dead one is not on cpu_online_map.
Change flush_workqueue() to use for_each_possible_cpu(). This means that
flush_cpu_workqueue() may hit CPU which is already dead. However in that
case
!list_empty(&cwq->worklist) || cwq->current_work != NULL
means that CPU_DEAD in progress, it will do kthread_stop() + take_over_work()
so we can proceed and insert a barrier. We hold cwq->lock, so we are safe.
Also, add migrate_sequence incremented by take_over_work() under cwq->lock.
If take_over_work() happened before we checked this CPU, we should see the
new value after spin_unlock().
Further possible changes:
remove CPU_DEAD handling (along with take_over_work, migrate_sequence)
from workqueue.c. CPU_DEAD just sets cwq->please_exit_after_flush flag.
CPU_UP_PREPARE->create_workqueue_thread() clears this flag, and creates
the new thread if cwq->thread == NULL.
This way the workqueue/cpu-hotplug interaction is almost zero, workqueue_mutex
just protects "workqueues" list, CPU_LOCK_ACQUIRE/CPU_LOCK_RELEASE go away.

This is an attempt to provide an alternate mechanism for postponing
a hotplug event instead of using a global mechanism like lock_cpu_hotplug.
The proposal is to add two new events namely CPU_LOCK_ACQUIRE and
CPU_LOCK_RELEASE. The notification for these two events would be sent
out before and after a cpu_hotplug event respectively.
During the CPU_LOCK_ACQUIRE event, a cpu-hotplug-aware subsystem is
supposed to acquire any per-subsystem hotcpu mutex ( Eg. workqueue_mutex
in kernel/workqueue.c ).
During the CPU_LOCK_RELEASE release event the cpu-hotplug-aware subsystem
is supposed to release the per-subsystem hotcpu mutex.
The reasons for defining new events as opposed to reusing the existing events
like CPU_UP_PREPARE/CPU_UP_FAILED/CPU_ONLINE for locking/unlocking of
per-subsystem hotcpu mutexes are as follow:
- CPU_LOCK_ACQUIRE: All hotcpu mutexes are taken before subsystems
start handling pre-hotplug events like CPU_UP_PREPARE/CPU_DOWN_PREPARE
etc, thus ensuring a clean handling of these events.
- CPU_LOCK_RELEASE: The hotcpu mutexes will be released only after
all subsystems have handled post-hotplug events like CPU_DOWN_FAILED,
CPU_DEAD,CPU_ONLINE etc thereby ensuring that there are no subsequent
clashes amongst the interdependent subsystems after a cpu hotplugs.
This patch also uses __raw_notifier_call chain in _cpu_up to take care
of the dependency between the two consequetive calls to
raw_notifier_call_chain.

Since 2.6.18-something, the community has been bugged by the problem to
provide a clean and a stable mechanism to postpone a cpu-hotplug event as
lock_cpu_hotplug was badly broken.
This is another proposal towards solving that problem. This one is along the
lines of the solution provided in kernel/workqueue.c
Instead of having a global mechanism like lock_cpu_hotplug, we allow the
subsytems to define their own per-subsystem hot cpu mutexes. These would be
taken(released) where ever we are currently calling
lock_cpu_hotplug(unlock_cpu_hotplug).
Also, in the per-subsystem hotcpu callback function,we take this mutex before
we handle any pre-cpu-hotplug events and release it once we finish handling
the post-cpu-hotplug events. A standard means for doing this has been
provided in [PATCH 2/4] and demonstrated in [PATCH 3/4].
The ordering of these per-subsystem mutexes might still prove to be a
problem, but hopefully lockdep should help us get out of that muddle.
The patch set to be applied against linux-2.6.19-rc5 is as follows:
[PATCH 1/4] : Extend notifier_call_chain with an option to specify the
number of notifications to be sent and also count the
number of notifications actually sent.
[PATCH 2/4] : Define events CPU_LOCK_ACQUIRE and CPU_LOCK_RELEASE
and send out notifications for these in _cpu_up and
_cpu_down. This would help us standardise the acquire and
release of the subsystem locks in the hotcpu
callback functions of these subsystems.
[PATCH 3/4] : Eliminate lock_cpu_hotplug from kernel/sched.c.
[PATCH 4/4] : In workqueue_cpu_callback function, acquire(release) the
workqueue_mutex while handling
CPU_LOCK_ACQUIRE(CPU_LOCK_RELEASE).
If the per-subsystem-locking approach survives the test of time, we can expect
a slow phasing out of lock_cpu_hotplug, which has not yet been eliminated in
these patches :)
This patch:
Provide notifier_call_chain with an option to call only a specified number of
notifiers and also record the number of call to notifiers made.
The need for this enhancement was identified in the post entitled
"Slab - Eliminate lock_cpu_hotplug from slab"
(http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/10/28/92) by Ravikiran G Thirumalai and
Andrew Morton.
This patch adds two additional parameters to notifier_call_chain API namely
- int nr_to_calls : Number of notifier_functions to be called.
The don't care value is -1.
- unsigned int *nr_calls : Records the total number of notifier_funtions
called by notifier_call_chain. The don't care
value is NULL.

A basic problem with flush_scheduled_work() is that it blocks behind _all_
presently-queued works, rather than just the work whcih the caller wants to
flush. If the caller holds some lock, and if one of the queued work happens
to want that lock as well then accidental deadlocks can occur.
One example of this is the phy layer: it wants to flush work while holding
rtnl_lock(). But if a linkwatch event happens to be queued, the phy code will
deadlock because the linkwatch callback function takes rtnl_lock.
So we implement a new function which will flush a *single* work - just the one
which the caller wants to free up. Thus we avoid the accidental deadlocks
which can arise from unrelated subsystems' callbacks taking shared locks.
flush_work() non-blockingly dequeues the work_struct which we want to kill,
then it waits for its handler to complete on all CPUs.
Add ->current_work to the "struct cpu_workqueue_struct", it points to
currently running "struct work_struct". When flush_work(work) detects
->current_work == work, it inserts a barrier at the _head_ of ->worklist
(and thus right _after_ that work) and waits for completition. This means
that the next work fired on that CPU will be this barrier, or another
barrier queued by concurrent flush_work(), so the caller of flush_work()
will be woken before any "regular" work has a chance to run.
When wait_on_work() unlocks workqueue_mutex (or whatever we choose to protect
against CPU hotplug), CPU may go away. But in that case take_over_work() will
move a barrier we queued to another CPU, it will be fired sometime, and
wait_on_work() will be woken.
Actually, we are doing cleanup_workqueue_thread()->kthread_stop() before
take_over_work(), so cwq->thread should complete its ->worklist (and thus
the barrier), because currently we don't check kthread_should_stop() in
run_workqueue(). But even if we did, everything should be ok.

The barrier is queued under workqueue_mutex to ensure that per cpu

By defining the same macros on both AT91 and AVR32, these #ifdefs can

CPUs that aren't supported by the current architecture, any code that
is only needed on AT91 will be optimized away on AVR32 and vice versa.

AFS writeback attempts to batch writes into as chunks as large as it can manage

locked page.
Furthermore, if a page has been written to using a particular key, then should
another write to that page use some other key, the first write will be flushed
before the second is allowed to take place. If the first write fails due to a
security error, then the page will be scrapped and reread before the second
write takes place.
If a page is dirty and the callback on it is broken by the server, then the
dirty data is not discarded (same behaviour as NFS).

Since path_walk sets the total_link_count to 0 and calls link_path_walk, we
can just call path_walk directly.

It's not sane to use mutex_lock_interruptible() and to then ignore the result.
Ditto down_interruptible(), but I'm lazy.

Fix tty_set_ldisc in tty_io.c so that tty->receive_room is only cleared if
actually changing line disciplines.
Without this fix a problem occurs when requesting the line discipline to
change to the same line discipline. In this case tty->receive_room is
cleared but ldisc->open() is not called to set tty->receive_room back to a
sane value. The result is that tty->receive_room is stuck at 0 preventing
the tty flip buffer from passing receive data to the line discipline.
For example: a switch from N_TTY to N_TTY followed by a select() call for
read input results in data never being received because tty->receive_room
is stuck at zero.
A switch from N_TTY to N_TTY followed by a read() call works because the
read() call itself sets tty->receive_room correctly (but select does not).
Previously (< 2.6.18) this was not a problem because the tty flip buffer
pushed data to the line discipline without regard for tty->receive room.

This patch moves the sig_kernel_* and related macros from kernel/signal.c
to linux/signal.h, and cleans them up slightly. I need the sig_kernel_*
macros for default signal behavior in the utrace code, and want to avoid
duplication or overhead to share the knowledge.

When cpuset is configured, it breaks the strict hugetlb page reservation as
the accounting is done on a global variable. Such reservation is
completely rubbish in the presence of cpuset because the reservation is not
checked against page availability for the current cpuset. Application can
still potentially OOM'ed by kernel with lack of free htlb page in cpuset
that the task is in. Attempt to enforce strict accounting with cpuset is
almost impossible (or too ugly) because cpuset is too fluid that task or
memory node can be dynamically moved between cpusets.
The change of semantics for shared hugetlb mapping with cpuset is
undesirable. However, in order to preserve some of the semantics, we fall
back to check against current free page availability as a best attempt and
hopefully to minimize the impact of changing semantics that cpuset has on
hugetlb.
