The issue below was found in 2.6.34-rt rather than mainline rt kernel, but the issue still exists upstream as well. So please let me describe how it was noticed on 2.6.34-rt: On this version, each softirq has its own thread, it means there is at least one RT FIFO task per cpu. The priority of these tasks is set to 49 by default. If user launches an RT FIFO task with priority lower than 49 of softirq RT tasks, it's possible there are two RT FIFO tasks enqueued one cpu runqueue at one moment. By current strategy of balancing RT tasks, when it comes to RT tasks, we really need to put them off to a CPU that they can run on as soon as possible. Even if it means a bit of cache line flushing, we want RT tasks to be run with the least latency. When the user RT FIFO task which just launched before is running, the sched timer tick of the current cpu happens. In this tick period, the timeout value of the user RT task will be updated once. Subsequently, we try to wake up one softirq RT task on its local cpu. As the priority of current user RT task is lower than the softirq RT task, the current task will be preempted by the higher priority softirq RT task. Before preemption, we check to see if current can readily move to a different cpu. If so, we will reschedule to allow the RT push logic to try to move current somewhere else. Whenever the woken softirq RT task runs, it first tries to migrate the user FIFO RT task over to a cpu that is running a task of lesser priority. If migration is done, it will send a reschedule request to the found cpu by IPI interrupt. Once the target cpu responds the IPI interrupt, it will pick the migrated user RT task to preempt its current task. When the user RT task is running on the new cpu, the sched timer tick of the cpu fires. So it will tick the user RT task again. This also means the RT task timeout value will be updated again. As the migration may be done in one tick period, it means the user RT task timeout value will be updated twice within one tick. If we set a limit on the amount of cpu time for the user RT task by setrlimit(RLIMIT_RTTIME), the SIGXCPU signal should be posted upon reaching the soft limit. But exactly when the SIGXCPU signal should be sent depends on the RT task timeout value. In fact the timeout mechanism of sending the SIGXCPU signal assumes the RT task timeout is increased once every tick. However, currently the timeout value may be added twice per tick. So it results in the SIGXCPU signal being sent earlier than expected. To solve this issue, we prevent the timeout value from increasing twice within one tick time by remembering the jiffies value of last updating the timeout. As long as the RT task's jiffies is different with the global jiffies value, we allow its timeout to be updated.

The caller of sched_sliced() should pass se.cfs_rq and se as the arguments, however in sched_rr_get_interval() we gave it rq.cfs_rq and se, which made the following computation obviously wrong. The change was introduced by commit: 77034937 sched: fix crash in sys_sched_rr_get_interval() ... 5 years ago, while it had been the correct 'cfs_rq_of' before the commit. The change seems to be irrelevant to the commit msg, which was to return a 0 timeslice for tasks that are on an idle runqueue. So I believe that was just a plain typo.

The commit [26a6cb6c: ALSA: hda - Implement a poll loop for jacks as a module parameter] introduced the polling jack detection code, but it also moved the call of snd_hda_jack_set_dirty_all() in the resume path after resume/init ops call. This caused a regression when the jack state has been changed during power-down (e.g. in the power save mode). Since the driver doesn't probe the new jack state but keeps using the cached value due to no dirty flag, the pin state remains also as if the jack is still plugged. The fix is simply moving snd_hda_jack_set_dirty_all() to the original position. Reported-by: Manolo Díaz <diaz.manolo@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>

This reverts commit eccf2979. The reason is that it broke TI WiLink shared transport on Panda. Also, callback functions should not be added to board files anymore, so revert to implementing the power functions in the driver itself.

Commit 083b804c ("async: use workqueue for worker pool") made it possible that async jobs are moved from pending to running out-of-order. While pending async jobs will be queued and dispatched for execution in the same order, nothing guarantees they'll enter "1) move self to the running queue" of async_run_entry_fn() in the same order. Before the conversion, async implemented its own worker pool. An async worker, upon being woken up, fetches the first item from the pending list, which kept the executing lists sorted. The conversion to workqueue was done by adding work_struct to each async_entry and async just schedules the work item. The queueing and dispatching of such work items are still in order but now each worker thread is associated with a specific async_entry and moves that specific async_entry to the executing list. So, depending on which worker reaches that point earlier, which is non-deterministic, we may end up moving an async_entry with larger cookie before one with smaller one. This broke __lowest_in_progress(). running->domain may not be properly sorted and is not guaranteed to contain lower cookies than pending list when not empty. Fix it by ensuring sort-inserting to the running list and always looking at both pending and running when trying to determine the lowest cookie. Over time, the async synchronization implementation became quite messy. We better restructure it such that each async_entry is linked to two lists - one global and one per domain - and not move it when execution starts. There's no reason to distinguish pending and running. They behave the same for synchronization purposes.

putreg() assumes that the tracee is not running and pt_regs_access() can safely play with its stack. However a killed tracee can return from ptrace_stop() to the low-level asm code and do RESTORE_REST, this means that debugger can actually read/modify the kernel stack until the tracee does SAVE_REST again. set_task_blockstep() can race with SIGKILL too and in some sense this race is even worse, the very fact the tracee can be woken up breaks the logic. As Linus suggested we can clear TASK_WAKEKILL around the arch_ptrace() call, this ensures that nobody can ever wakeup the tracee while the debugger looks at it. Not only this fixes the mentioned problems, we can do some cleanups/simplifications in arch_ptrace() paths. Probably ptrace_unfreeze_traced() needs more callers, for example it makes sense to make the tracee killable for oom-killer before access_process_vm(). While at it, add the comment into may_ptrace_stop() to explain why ptrace_stop() still can't rely on SIGKILL and signal_pending_state().

Cleanup and preparation for the next change. signal_wake_up(resume => true) is overused. None of ptrace/jctl callers actually want to wakeup a TASK_WAKEKILL task, but they can't specify the necessary mask. Turn signal_wake_up() into signal_wake_up_state(state), reintroduce signal_wake_up() as a trivial helper, and add ptrace_signal_wake_up() which adds __TASK_TRACED. This way ptrace_signal_wake_up() can work "inside" ptrace_request() even if the tracee doesn't have the TASK_WAKEKILL bit set.

This is calling list_del() inside a loop which is a problem when we try move to the next item on the list. I've converted it to use the _safe version. And also, as a cleanup, I've converted it to use list_for_each_entry instead of list_for_each.

The caller of start_bidx_of_node() should give proper node offsets which point only direct node blocks. Otherwise, it is a caller's bug. This patch adds comments to make it clear. Reported-by: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Jaegeuk Kim <jaegeuk.kim@samsung.com>

If some small bios of dirty node pages are supposed to be issued during the sequential data writes, there-in well-produced consecutive data bios are able to be split by the small node bios, resulting in performance degradation. So, let's collect a number of dirty node pages until reaching a threshold. And, by default, I set the threshold as 2MB, a segment size. This improves sequential write performance on i5, 512GB SSD (830 w/ SATA2) as follows. Before: 231 MB/s -> After: 255 MB/s Signed-off-by: Jaegeuk Kim <jaegeuk.kim@samsung.com> Reviewed-by: Namjae Jeon <namjae.jeon@samsung.com>
