2011-04-19sched: Make set_*_buddy() work on non-task entitiesVenkatesh Pallipadi
Make set_*_buddy() work on non-task sched_entity, to facilitate the use of next_buddy to cache a group entity in cases where one of the tasks within that entity sleeps or gets preempted. set_skip_buddy() was incorrectly comparing the policy of task that is yielding to be not equal to SCHED_IDLE. Yielding should happen even when task yielding is SCHED_IDLE. This change removes the policy check on the yielding task.

2011-04-19perf, x86: Fix pre-defined cache-misses event for AMD family 15h cpusAndre Przywara
With AMD cpu family 15h a unit mask was introduced for the Data Cache Miss event (0x041/L1-dcache-load-misses). We need to enable bit 0 (first data cache miss or streaming store to a 64 B cache line) of this mask to proper count data cache misses. Now we set this bit for all families and models. In case a PMU does not implement a unit mask for event 0x041 the bit is ignored.

Due to a decoder implementation quirk, some specific Intel CPUs actually perform better with the "k8_nops" than with the SDM-recommended NOPs.

2011-04-18next_pidmap: fix overflow conditionLinus Torvalds
next_pidmap() just quietly accepted whatever 'last' pid that was passed in, which is not all that safe when one of the users is /proc. Admittedly the proc code should do some sanity checking on the range (and that will be the next commit), but that doesn't mean that the helper functions should just do that pidmap pointer arithmetic without checking the range of its arguments. So clamp 'last' to PID_MAX_LIMIT. The fact that we then do "last+1" doesn't really matter, the for-loop does check against the end of the pidmap array properly (it's only the actual pointer arithmetic overflow case we need to worry about, and going one bit beyond isn't going to overflow).

Mouse gets "stuck" after restore of PV guest but buttons are in working condition. If driver has been configured for ABS coordinates at start it will get XENKBD_TYPE_POS events and then suddenly after restore it'll start getting XENKBD_TYPE_MOTION events, that will be dropped later and they won't get into user-space.

2011-04-18xen/p2m/m2p/gnttab: Support GNTMAP_host_map in the M2P override.Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk
We only supported the M2P (and P2M) override only for the GNTMAP_contains_pte type mappings. Meaning that we grants operations would "contain the machine address of the PTE to update" If the flag is unset, then the grant operation is "contains a host virtual address". The latter case means that the Hypervisor takes care of updating our page table (specifically the PTE entry) with the guest's MFN. As such we should not try to do anything with the PTE. Previous to this patch we would try to clear the PTE which resulted in Xen hypervisor being upset with us: (XEN) mm.c:1066:d0 Attempt to implicitly unmap a granted PTE c0100000ccc59067 (XEN) domain_crash called from mm.c:1067 (XEN) Domain 0 (vcpu#0) crashed on cpu#3: (XEN) ----[ Xen-4.0-110228 x86_64 debug=y Not tainted ]---- and crashing us. This patch allows us to inhibit the PTE clearing in the PV guest if the GNTMAP_contains_pte is not set. On the m2p_remove_override path we provide the same parameter. Sadly in the grant-table driver we do not have a mechanism to tell m2p_remove_override whether to clear the PTE or not. Since the grant-table driver is used by user-space, we can safely assume that it operates only on PTE's. Hence the implementation for it to work on !GNTMAP_contains_pte returns -EOPNOTSUPP. In the future we can implement the support for this. It will require some extra accounting structure to keep track of the page[i], and the flag. [v1: Added documentation details, made it return -EOPNOTSUPP instead of trying to do a half-way implementation] Signed-off-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com>
2011-04-18GFS2: filesystem hang caused by incorrect lock orderBob Peterson
This patch fixes a deadlock in GFS2 where two processes are trying to reclaim an unlinked dinode: One holds the inode glock and calls gfs2_lookup_by_inum trying to look up the inode, which it can't, due to I_FREEING. The other has set I_FREEING from vfs and is at the beginning of gfs2_delete_inode waiting for the glock, which is held by the first. The solution is to add a new non_block parameter to the gfs2_iget function that causes it to return -ENOENT if the inode is being freed.

2011-04-18posix clocks: Replace mutex with reader/writer semaphoreRichard Cochran
A dynamic posix clock is protected from asynchronous removal by a mutex. However, using a mutex has the unwanted effect that a long running clock operation in one process will unnecessarily block other processes. For example, one process might call read() to get an external time stamp coming in at one pulse per second. A second process calling clock_gettime would have to wait for almost a whole second. This patch fixes the issue by using a reader/writer semaphore instead of a mutex.

When an md device adds a request to a queue, it can call mddev_check_plugged. If this succeeds then we know that the md thread will be woken up shortly, and ->plug_cnt will be non-zero until then, so some processing can be delayed. If it fails, then no unplug callback is expected and the make_request function needs to do whatever is required to make the request happen. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
