Fix a NULL pointer dereference panic in cpuidle_play_dead() during CPU off-lining when no cpuidle driver is registered. A cpuidle driver may be registered at boot-time based on CPU type. This patch allows an off-lined CPU to enter HLT-based idle in this condition. Signed-off-by: Toshi Kani <toshi.kani@hp.com> Cc: Boris Ostrovsky <boris.ostrovsky@amd.com> Reviewed-by: Srivatsa S.

Currently when a CPU is off-lined it enters either MWAIT-based idle or, if MWAIT is not desired or supported, HLT-based idle (which places the processor in C1 state). This patch allows processors without MWAIT support to stay in states deeper than C1. Signed-off-by: Boris Ostrovsky <boris.ostrovsky@amd.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

All the modules name are ro-data, it is never copied to the array. eg. static struct cpuidle_driver intel_idle_driver = { .name = "intel_idle", .owner = THIS_MODULE, }; It safe to assign the pointer of this ro-data to a const char *. By this way we save 12 bytes.

Some C states of new CPU might be not good. One reason is BIOS might configure them incorrectly. To help developers root cause it quickly, the patch adds a new sysfs entry, so developers could disable specific C state manually. In addition, C state might have much impact on performance tuning, as it takes much time to enter/exit C states, which might delay interrupt processing. With the new debug option, developers could check if a deep C state could impact performance and how much impact it could cause. Also add this option in Documentation/cpuidle/sysfs.txt.

Commit 28d82dc1 ("epoll: limit paths") that I did to limit the number of possible wakeup paths in epoll is causing a few applications to longer work (dovecot for one). The original patch is really about limiting the amount of epoll nesting (since epoll fds can be attached to other fds). Thus, we probably can allow an unlimited number of paths of depth 1. My current patch limits it at 1000. And enforce the limits on paths that have a greater depth.

When writing files to afs I sometimes hit a BUG: kernel BUG at fs/afs/rxrpc.c:179! With a backtrace of: afs_free_call afs_make_call afs_fs_store_data afs_vnode_store_data afs_write_back_from_locked_page afs_writepages_region afs_writepages The cause is: ASSERT(skb_queue_empty(&call->rx_queue)); Looking at a tcpdump of the session the abort happens because we are exceeding our disk quota: rx abort fs reply store-data error diskquota exceeded (32) So the abort error is valid. We hit the BUG because we haven't freed all the resources for the call. By freeing any skbs in call->rx_queue before calling afs_free_call we avoid hitting leaking memory and avoid hitting the BUG.

This reverts commit d47a0ac7 (sch_sfq: dont put new flow at the end of flows) As Jesper found out, patch sounded great but has bad side effects. In stress situation, pushing new flows in front of the queue can prevent old flows doing any progress. Packets can stay in SFQ queue for unlimited amount of time. It's possible to add heuristics to limit this problem, but this would add complexity outside of SFQ scope. A more sensible answer to Dave Taht concerns (who reported the issued I tried to solve in original commit) is probably to use a qdisc hierarchy so that high prio packets dont enter a potentially crowded SFQ qdisc.
