Since commit 48ddbe194623ae089cc0576e60363f2d2e85662a ("cgroup: make css->refcnt clearing on cgroup removal optional"), each css holds a ref on cgroup's dentry, so cgroup_diput() won't be called until all css' refs go down to 0, which invalids the comments.

2013-01-24cgroup: remove duplicate RCU free on struct cgroupLi Zefan
When destroying a cgroup, though in cgroup_diput() we've called synchronize_rcu(), we then still have to free it via call_rcu(). The story is, long ago to fix a race between reading /proc/sched_debug and freeing cgroup, the code was changed to utilize call_rcu(). See commit a47295e6bc42ad35f9c15ac66f598aa24debd4e2 ("cgroups: make cgroup_path() RCU-safe") As we've fixed cpu cgroup that cpu_cgroup_offline_css() is used to unregister a task_group so there won't be concurrent access to this task_group after synchronize_rcu() in diput(). Now we can just kfree(cgrp). Signed-off-by: Li Zefan <lizefan@huawei.com> Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

2013-01-24sched: split out css_online/css_offline from tg creation/destructionLi Zefan
This is a preparaton for later patches. - What do we gain from cpu_cgroup_css_online(): After ss->css_alloc() and before ss->css_online(), there's a small window that tg->css.cgroup is NULL. With this change, tg won't be seen before ss->css_online(), where it's added to the global list, so we're guaranteed we'll never see NULL tg->css.cgroup. - What do we gain from cpu_cgroup_css_offline(): tg is freed via RCU, so is cgroup. Without this change, This is how synchronization works: cgroup_rmdir() no ss->css_offline() diput() syncornize_rcu() ss->css_free() <-- unregister tg, and free it via call_rcu() kfree_rcu(cgroup) <-- wait possible refs to cgroup, and free cgroup We can't just kfree(cgroup), because tg might access tg->css.cgroup. With this change: cgroup_rmdir() ss->css_offline() <-- unregister tg diput() synchronize_rcu() <-- wait possible refs to tg and cgroup ss->css_free() <-- free tg kfree_rcu(cgroup) <-- free cgroup As you see, kfree_rcu() is redundant now.

2013-01-24workqueue: record pool ID instead of CPU in work->data when off-queueTejun Heo
Currently, when a work item is off-queue, work->data records the CPU it was last on, which is used to locate the last executing instance for non-reentrance, flushing, etc. We're in the process of removing global_cwq and making worker_pool the top level abstraction. This patch makes work->data point to the pool it was last associated with instead of CPU. After the previous WORK_OFFQ_POOL_CPU and worker_poo->id additions, the conversion is fairly straight-forward. WORK_OFFQ constants and functions are modified to record and read back pool ID instead. worker_pool_by_id() is added to allow looking up pool from ID. get_work_pool() replaces get_work_gcwq(), which is reimplemented using get_work_pool(). get_work_pool_id() replaces work_cpu().

2013-01-24x86/MSI: Support multiple MSIs in presense of IRQ remappingAlexander Gordeev
The MSI specification has several constraints in comparison with MSI-X, most notable of them is the inability to configure MSIs independently. As a result, it is impossible to dispatch interrupts from different queues to different CPUs. This is largely devalues the support of multiple MSIs in SMP systems. Also, a necessity to allocate a contiguous block of vector numbers for devices capable of multiple MSIs might cause a considerable pressure on x86 interrupt vector allocator and could lead to fragmentation of the interrupt vectors space. This patch overcomes both drawbacks in presense of IRQ remapping and lets devices take advantage of multiple queues and per-IRQ affinity assignments.

2013-01-23async: replace list of active domains with global list of pending itemsTejun Heo
Global synchronization - async_synchronize_full() - is currently implemented by keeping a list of all active registered domains and syncing them one by one until no domain is active. While this isn't necessarily a complex scheme, it can easily be simplified by keeping global list of the pending items of all registered active domains instead of list of domains and simply using the globl pending list the same way as domain syncing. This patch replaces async_domains with async_global_pending and update lowest_in_progress() to use the global pending list if @domain is %NULL. async_synchronize_full_domain(NULL) is now allowed and equivalent to async_synchronize_full(). As no one is calling with NULL domain, this doesn't affect any existing users. async_register_mutex is no longer necessary and dropped.

2013-01-23async: keep pending tasks on async_domain and remove async_pendingTejun Heo
Async kept single global pending list and per-domain running lists. When an async item is queued, it's put on the global pending list. The item is moved to the per-domain running list when its execution starts. At this point, this design complicates execution and synchronization without bringing any benefit. The list only matters for synchronization which doesn't care whether a given async item is pending or executing. Also, global synchronization is done by iterating through all active registered async_domains, so the global async_pending list doesn't help anything either. Rename async_domain->running to async_domain->pending and put async items directly there and remove when execution completes. This simplifies lowest_in_progress() a lot - the first item on the pending list is the one with the lowest cookie, and async_run_entry_fn() doesn't have to mess with moving the item from pending to running. After the change, whether a domain is empty or not can be trivially determined by looking at async_domain->pending. Remove async_domain->count and use list_empty() on pending instead.

2013-01-23async: use ULLONG_MAX for infinity cookie valueTejun Heo
Currently, next_cookie is used as the infinity value. In most cases, this should work fine but it theoretically could bring subtle behavior difference between async_synchronize_full() and async_synchronize_full_domain(). async_synchronize_full() keeps waiting until there's no registered async_entry left regardless of what next_cookie was when the function was called. It guarantees that the queue is completely drained at least once before returning. However, async_synchronize_full_domain() doesn't. It synchronizes upto next_cookie and if further async jobs are queued after the next_cookie value to synchronize is decided, they won't be waited for. For unrelated async jobs, the behavior difference doesn't matter; however, if async jobs which are related (nested or otherwise) to the executing ones are queued while sychronization is in progress, the resulting behavior difference could be problematic. This can be easily fixed by using ULLONG_MAX as the infinity value instead. Define ASYNC_COOKIE_MAX as ULLONG_MAX and use it as the infinity value for synchronization. This makes async_synchronize_full_domain() fully drain the domain at least once before returning, making its behavior match async_synchronize_full().

2013-01-23async: bring sanity to the use of words domain and runningTejun Heo
In the beginning, running lists were literal struct list_heads. Later on, struct async_domain was added. For some reason, while the conversion substituted list_heads with async_domains, the variable names weren't fully converted. In more places, "running" was used for struct async_domain while other places adopted new "domain" name. The situation is made much worse by having async_domain's running list named "domain" and async_entry's field pointing to async_domain named "running". So, we end up with mix of "running" and "domain" for variable names for async_domain, with the field names of async_domain and async_entry swapped between "running" and "domain". It feels almost intentionally made to be as confusing as possible.

2013-01-22ring-buffer: Remove trace.h from ring_buffer.cSteven Rostedt
ring_buffer.c use to require declarations from trace.h, but these have moved to the generic header files. There's nothing in trace.h that ring_buffer.c requires. There's some headers that trace.h included that ring_buffer.c needs, but it's best that it includes them directly, and not include trace.h. Also, some things may use ring_buffer.c without having tracing configured. This removes the dependency that may come in the future. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2013-01-22ring-buffer: User context bit recursion checkingSteven Rostedt
Using context bit recursion checking, we can help increase the performance of the ring buffer.

2013-01-22ftrace: Use only the preempt version of function tracingSteven Rostedt
The function tracer had two different versions of function tracing. The disabling of irqs version and the preempt disable version. As function tracing in very intrusive and can cause nasty recursion issues, it has its own recursion protection. But the old method to do this was a flat layer. If it detected that a recursion was happening then it would just return without recording. This made the preempt version (much faster than the irq disabling one) not very useful, because if an interrupt were to occur after the recursion flag was set, the interrupt would not be traced at all, because every function that was traced would think it recursed on itself (due to the context it preempted setting the recursive flag). Now that we have a recursion flag for every context level, we no longer need to worry about that. We can disable preemption, set the current context recursion check bit, and go on. If an interrupt were to come along, it would check its own context bit and happily continue to trace. As the preempt version is faster than the irq disable version, there's no more reason to keep the preempt version around. And the irq disable version still had an issue with missing out on tracing NMI code. Remove the irq disable function tracer version and have the preempt disable version be the default (and only version). Before this patch we had from running: # echo function > /debug/tracing/current_tracer # for i in `seq 10`; do ./hackbench 50; done Time: 12.028 Time: 11.945 Time: 11.925 Time: 11.964 Time: 12.002 Time: 11.910 Time: 11.944 Time: 11.929 Time: 11.941 Time: 11.924 (average: 11.9512) Now we have: # echo function > /debug/tracing/current_tracer # for i in `seq 10`; do ./hackbench 50; done Time: 10.285 Time: 10.407 Time: 10.243 Time: 10.372 Time: 10.380 Time: 10.198 Time: 10.272 Time: 10.354 Time: 10.248 Time: 10.253 (average: 10.3012) a 13.8% savings!

2013-01-22tracing: Avoid unnecessary multiple recursion checksSteven Rostedt
When function tracing occurs, the following steps are made: If arch does not support a ftrace feature: call internal function (uses INTERNAL bits) which calls... If callback is registered to the "global" list, the list function is called and recursion checks the GLOBAL bits. then this function calls... The function callback, which can use the FTRACE bits to check for recursion. Now if the arch does not suppport a feature, and it calls the global list function which calls the ftrace callback all three of these steps will do a recursion protection. There's no reason to do one if the previous caller already did. The recursion that we are protecting against will go through the same steps again. To prevent the multiple recursion checks, if a recursion bit is set that is higher than the MAX bit of the current check, then we know that the check was made by the previous caller, and we can skip the current check.

2013-01-22ftrace: Add context level recursion bit checkingSteven Rostedt
Currently for recursion checking in the function tracer, ftrace tests a task_struct bit to determine if the function tracer had recursed or not. If it has, then it will will return without going further. But this leads to races. If an interrupt came in after the bit was set, the functions being traced would see that bit set and think that the function tracer recursed on itself, and would return. Instead add a bit for each context (normal, softirq, irq and nmi). A check of which context the task is in is made before testing the associated bit. Now if an interrupt preempts the function tracer after the previous context has been set, the interrupt functions can still be traced. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2013-01-22ftrace: Optimize the function tracer list loopSteven Rostedt
There is lots of places that perform: op = rcu_dereference_raw(ftrace_control_list); while (op != &ftrace_list_end) { Add a helper macro to do this, and also optimize for a single entity. That is, gcc will optimize a loop for either no iterations or more than one iteration. But usually only a single callback is registered to the function tracer, thus the optimized case should be a single pass. to do this we now do: op = rcu_dereference_raw(list); do { [...] } while (likely(op = rcu_dereference_raw((op)->next)) && unlikely((op) != &ftrace_list_end)); An op is always registered (ftrace_list_end when no callbacks is registered), thus when a single callback is registered, the link list looks like: top => callback => ftrace_list_end => NULL. The likely(op = op->next) still must be performed due to the race of removing the callback, where the first op assignment could equal ftrace_list_end. In that case, the op->next would be NULL. But this is unlikely (only happens in a race condition when removing the callback). But it is very likely that the next op would be ftrace_list_end, unless more than one callback has been registered. This tells gcc what the most common case is and makes the fast path with the least amount of branches. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
