      sched: correctly place paranioa memory barriers in synchronize_sched_expedited() · cc631fb7
      Paul E. McKenney authored
      The memory barriers must be in the SMP case, not in the !SMP case.
      Also add a barrier after the atomic_inc() in order to ensure that
      other CPUs see post-synchronize_sched_expedited() actions as following
      the expedited grace period.

      sched: kill paranoia check in synchronize_sched_expedited() · 94458d5e
      Tejun Heo authored
      The paranoid check which verifies that the cpu_stop callback is
      actually called on all online cpus is completely superflous.  It's
      guaranteed by cpu_stop facility and if it didn't work as advertised
      other things would go horribly wrong and trying to recover using
      synchronize_sched() wouldn't be very meaningful.
      
      Kill the paranoid check.  Removal of this feature is done as a
      separate step so that it can serve as a bisection point if something
      actually goes wrong.

      sched: replace migration_thread with cpu_stop · 969c7921
      Tejun Heo authored
      Currently migration_thread is serving three purposes - migration
      pusher, context to execute active_load_balance() and forced context
      switcher for expedited RCU synchronize_sched.  All three roles are
      hardcoded into migration_thread() and determining which job is
      scheduled is slightly messy.
      
      This patch kills migration_thread and replaces all three uses with
      cpu_stop.  The three different roles of migration_thread() are
      splitted into three separate cpu_stop callbacks -
      migration_cpu_stop(), active_load_balance_cpu_stop() and
      synchronize_sched_expedited_cpu_stop() - and each use case now simply
      asks cpu_stop to execute the callback as necessary.
      
      synchronize_sched_expedited() was implemented with private
      preallocated resources and custom multi-cpu queueing and waiting
      logic, both of which are provided by cpu_stop.
      synchronize_sched_expedited_count is made atomic and all other shared
      resources along with the mutex are dropped.
      
      synchronize_sched_expedited() also implemented a check to detect cases
      where not all the callback got executed on their assigned cpus and
      fall back to synchronize_sched().  If called with cpu hotplug blocked,
      cpu_stop already guarantees that and the condition cannot happen;
      otherwise, stop_machine() would break.  However, this patch preserves
      the paranoid check using a cpumask to record on which cpus the stopper
      ran so that it can serve as a bisection point if something actually
      goes wrong theree.
      
      Because the internal execution state is no longer visible,
      rcu_expedited_torture_stats() is removed.
      
      This patch also renames cpu_stop threads to from "stopper/%d" to
      "migration/%d".  The names of these threads ultimately don't matter
      and there's no reason to make unnecessary userland visible changes.
      
      With this patch applied, stop_machine() and sched now share the same
      resources.  stop_machine() is faster without wasting any resources and
      sched migration users are much cleaner.

      stop_machine: reimplement using cpu_stop · 3fc1f1e2
      Tejun Heo authored
      Reimplement stop_machine using cpu_stop.  As cpu stoppers are
      guaranteed to be available for all online cpus,
      stop_machine_create/destroy() are no longer necessary and removed.
      
      With resource management and synchronization handled by cpu_stop, the
      new implementation is much simpler.  Asking the cpu_stop to execute
      the stop_cpu() state machine on all online cpus with cpu hotplug
      disabled is enough.
      
      stop_machine itself doesn't need to manage any global resources
      anymore, so all per-instance information is rolled into struct
      stop_machine_data and the mutex and all static data variables are
      removed.
      
      The previous implementation created and destroyed RT workqueues as
      necessary which made stop_machine() calls highly expensive on very
      large machines.  According to Dimitri Sivanich, preventing the dynamic
      creation/destruction makes booting faster more than twice on very
      large machines.  cpu_stop resources are preallocated for all online
      cpus and should have the same effect.

      cpu_stop: implement stop_cpu[s]() · 1142d810
      Tejun Heo authored
      Implement a simplistic per-cpu maximum priority cpu monopolization
      mechanism.  A non-sleeping callback can be scheduled to run on one or
      multiple cpus with maximum priority monopolozing those cpus.  This is
      primarily to replace and unify RT workqueue usage in stop_machine and
      scheduler migration_thread which currently is serving multiple
      purposes.
      
      Four functions are provided - stop_one_cpu(), stop_one_cpu_nowait(),
      stop_cpus() and try_stop_cpus().
      
      This is to allow clean sharing of resources among stop_cpu and all the
      migration thread users.  One stopper thread per cpu is created which
      is currently named "stopper/CPU".  This will eventually replace the
      migration thread and take on its name.
      
      * This facility was originally named cpuhog and lived in separate
        files but Peter Zijlstra nacked the name and thus got renamed to
        cpu_stop and moved into stop_machine.c.
      
      * Better reporting of preemption leak as per Peter's suggestion.

      Wei Yongjun authored
      When calculating the INIT/INIT-ACK chunk length, we should not
      only account the length of parameters, but also the parameters
      zero padding length, such as AUTH HMACS parameter and CHUNKS
      parameter. Without the parameters zero padding length we may get
      following oops.

      sctp: per_cpu variables should be in bh_disabled section · 81419d86
      Vlad Yasevich authored
      Since the change of the atomics to percpu variables, we now
      have to disable BH in process context when touching percpu variables.

      sctp: fix potential reference of a freed pointer · 0c42749c
      Vlad Yasevich authored
      When sctp attempts to update an assocition, it removes any
      addresses that were not in the updated INITs.  However, the loop
      may attempt to refrence a transport with address after removing it.

      sctp: avoid irq lock inversion while call sk->sk_data_ready() · 561b1733
      Wei Yongjun authored
      sk->sk_data_ready() of sctp socket can be called from both BH and non-BH
      contexts, but the default sk->sk_data_ready(), sock_def_readable(), can
      not be used in this case. Therefore, we have to make a new function
      sctp_data_ready() to grab sk->sk_data_ready() with BH disabling.
      
      =========================================================
      [ INFO: possible irq lock inversion dependency detected ]
      2.6.33-rc6 #129
      ---------------------------------------------------------
      sctp_darn/1517 just changed the state of lock:
       (clock-AF_INET){++.?..}, at: [<c06aab60>] sock_def_readable+0x20/0x80
      but this lock took another, SOFTIRQ-unsafe lock in the past:
       (slock-AF_INET){+.-...}
      
      and interrupts could create inverse lock ordering between them.
      
      other info that might help us debug this:
      1 lock held by sctp_darn/1517:
       #0:  (sk_lock-AF_INET){+.+.+.}, at: [<cdfe363d>] sctp_sendmsg+0x23d/0xc00 [sctp]

      Revert "tcp: bind() fix when many ports are bound" · 8d238b25
      David S. Miller authored
      This reverts two commits:
      
      fda48a0d
      tcp: bind() fix when many ports are bound
      
      and a follow-on fix for it:
      
      6443bb1f
      ipv6: Fix inet6_csk_bind_conflict()
      
      It causes problems with binding listening sockets when time-wait
      sockets from a previous instance still are alive.
      
      It's too late to keep fiddling with this so late in the -rc
      series, and we'll deal with it in net-next-2.6 instead.
