At the moment, a lot of load balancing code that is irrelevant to non SMP systems gets included during non SMP builds. This patch addresses this issue and reduces the binary size on non SMP systems: text data bss dec hex filename 10983 28 1192 12203 2fab sched.o.before 10739 28 1192 11959 2eb7 sched.o.after Signed-off-by:

At the moment, balance_tasks() provides low level functionality for both move_tasks() and move_one_task() (indirectly) via the load_balance() function (in the sched_class interface) which also provides dual functionality. This dual functionality complicates the interfaces and internal mechanisms and makes the run time overhead of operations that are called with two run queue locks held. This patch addresses this issue and reduces the overhead of these operations. Signed-off-by:

A full register dump along with stack backtrace would make the "scheduling while atomic" message more helpful. Use show_regs() instead of dump_stack() for this. We already know we're atomic in here (that is why this function was called) so show_regs()'s atomicity expectations are guaranteed. Also, modify the output of the "BUG: scheduling while atomic:" header a bit to keep task->comm and task->pid together and preempt_count() after them. Signed-off-by:

commit 029190c5 (cpuset sched_load_balance flag) was not tested SCHED_DEBUG enabled as committed as it dereferences NULL when used and it reordered the sysctl registration to cause it to never show any domains or their tunables. Fixes: 1) restore arch_init_sched_domains ordering we can't walk the domains before we build them presently we register cpus with empty directories (no domain directories or files). 2) make unregister_sched_domain_sysctl do nothing when already unregistered detach_destroy_domains is now called one set of cpus at a time unregister_syctl dereferences NULL if called with a null. While the the function would always dereference null if called twice, in the previous code it was always called once and then was followed a register. So only the hidden bug of the sysctl_root_table not being allocated followed by an attempt to free it would have shown the error. 3) always call unregister and register in partition_sched_domains The code is "smart" about unregistering only needed domains. Since we aren't guaranteed any calls to unregister, always unregister. Without calling register on the way out we will not have a table or any sysctl tree. 4) warn if register is called without unregistering The previous table memory is lost, leaving pointers to the later freed memory in sysctl and leaking the memory of the tables. Before this patch on a 2-core 4-thread box compiled for SMT and NUMA, the domains appear empty (there are actually 3 levels per cpu). And as soon as two domains a null pointer is dereferenced (unreliable in this case is stack garbage): bu19a:~# ls -R /proc/sys/kernel/sched_domain/ /proc/sys/kernel/sched_domain/: cpu0 cpu1 cpu2 cpu3 /proc/sys/kernel/sched_domain/cpu0: /proc/sys/kernel/sched_domain/cpu1: /proc/sys/kernel/sched_domain/cpu2: /proc/sys/kernel/sched_domain/cpu3: bu19a:~# mkdir /dev/cpuset bu19a:~# mount -tcpuset cpuset /dev/cpuset/ bu19a:~# cd /dev/cpuset/ bu19a:/dev/cpuset# echo 0 > sched_load_balance bu19a:/dev/cpuset# mkdir one bu19a:/dev/cpuset# echo 1 > one/cpus bu19a:/dev/cpuset# echo 0 > one/sched_load_balance Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0x00000018 Faulting instruction address: 0xc00000000006b608 NIP: c00000000006b608 LR: c00000000006b604 CTR: 0000000000000000 REGS: c000000018d973f0 TRAP: 0300 Not tainted (2.6.23-bml) MSR: 9000000000009032 <EE,ME,IR,DR> CR: 28242442 XER: 00000000 DAR: 0000000000000018, DSISR: 0000000040000000 TASK = c00000001912e340[1987] 'bash' THREAD: c000000018d94000 CPU: 2 ..

The patch is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly hugely mindbogglingly big it is. I mean you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist, but that's just peanuts to how big the patch from 2.6.23 is. But it's all good.

Set bits 0, 4, 5 and 7 of PCI configuration register 0x40 in the quirk. This has the following effects and is recommended by the vendor. * Force enable of IDE channels (used to be left alone as BIOS configured) * Change initial phase behavior of PIO cycle such that the host pulls down the bus instead of tristating it. Vendor recommends this setting. The above settings are better for the current generation of controllers and needed for the upcoming next generation. Tested on JMB363. Signed-off-by:

Did a complete audit of these and found we have another error case. ata_bus_softreset calls ata_check_status which means that it tries to do an ioread8 on the port blindly and check versus 0xFF for an error. It should of course be using the ap->ops method for this via chk_status, and this bug causes a wrog status call on the NS87415 at least. Signed-off-by:

Convert mii (link state) monitor to acquire correct locks for failover events. In particular, failovers generally require RTNL at a low level (when manipulating device MAC addresses, for example) and no other locks. The high level monitor is responsible for acquiring a known set of locks, RTNL, the bond->lock for read and the slave_lock for write, and the low level failover processing can then release appropriate locks as needed. This patch provides the high level portion. As it is undesirable to acquire RTNL for every monitor pass (which may occur as often as every 10 ms), the miimon has been converted to do conditional locking. A first pass inspects all slaves to determine if any action is required, and if so, a second pass (after acquring RTNL) is done to perform any actions (doing a complete rescan, as the situation may have changed when all locks were released).
