[PATCH] timer-irq-driven soft-watchdog, cleanups · 6687a97d

Ingo Molnar authored Mar 24, 2006

Make the softlockup detector purely timer-interrupt driven, removing
softirq-context (timer) dependencies.  This means that if the softlockup
watchdog triggers, it has truly observed a longer than 10 seconds
scheduling delay of a SCHED_FIFO prio 99 task.

(the patch also turns off the softlockup detector during the initial bootup
phase and does small style fixes)

[PATCH] ext3: Properly report backup block present in a group · b5a7c4f5

Glauber de Oliveira Costa authored Mar 24, 2006

In filesystems with the meta block group flag on, ext3_bg_num_gdb() fails
to report the correct number of blocks used to store the group descriptor
backups in a given group.  It happens because meta_bg follows a different
logic from the original ext3 backup placement in groups multiples of 3, 5
and 7.

[PATCH] RLIMIT_CPU: fix handling of a zero limit · e0661111

Andrew Morton authored Mar 24, 2006

At present the kernel doesn't honour an attempt to set RLIMIT_CPU to zero
seconds.  But the spec says it should, and that's what 2.4.x does.

Fixing this for real would involve some complexity (such as adding a new
it-has-been-set flag to the task_struct, and testing that everwhere, instead
of overloading the value of it_prof_expires).

Given that a 2.4 kernel won't actually send the signal until one second has
expired anyway, let's just handle this case by treating the caller's
zero-seconds as one second.

[PATCH] sys_setrlimit() cleanup · ec9e16ba

Andrew Morton authored Mar 24, 2006

- Whitespace cleanups

- Make that expression comprehensible.

There's a potential logic change here: we do the "is it_prof_expires equal to
zero" test after converting it to seconds, rather than doing the comparison
between raw cputime_t's.

But given that it's in units of seconds anyway, that shouldn't change
anything.
