[PATCH] cpuset: top_cpuset tracks hotplug changes to cpu_online_map

Change the list of cpus allowed to tasks in the top (root) cpuset to
dynamically track what cpus are online, using a CPU hotplug notifier.  Make
this top cpus file read-only.

On systems that have cpusets configured in their kernel, but that aren't
actively using cpusets (for some distros, this covers the majority of
systems) all tasks end up in the top cpuset.

If that system does support CPU hotplug, then these tasks cannot make use
of CPUs that are added after system boot, because the CPUs are not allowed
in the top cpuset.  This is a surprising regression over earlier kernels
that didn't have cpusets enabled.

In order to keep the behaviour of cpusets consistent between systems
actively making use of them and systems not using them, this patch changes
the behaviour of the 'cpus' file in the top (root) cpuset, making it read
only, and making it automatically track the value of cpu_online_map.  Thus
tasks in the top cpuset will have automatic use of hot plugged CPUs allowed
by their cpuset.

Thanks to Anton Blanchard and Nathan Lynch for reporting this problem,
driving the fix, and earlier versions of this patch.

   wrong behaviour, fragment may be NOT allocated, but mapped, this

OK, I'm having a look here; its all new to me so bear with me.

blkdev_open() calls
  do_open(bdev, ...,BD_MUTEX_NORMAL) and takes
    mutex_lock_nested(&bdev->bd_mutex, BD_MUTEX_NORMAL)

then something fails, and we're thrown to:

out_first: where
    if (bdev != bdev->bd_contains)
      blkdev_put(bdev->bd_contains) which is
        __blkdev_put(bdev->bd_contains, BD_MUTEX_NORMAL) which does
          mutex_lock_nested(&bdev->bd_contains->bd_mutex, BD_MUTEX_NORMAL) <--- lockdep trigger

When going to out_first, dbev->bd_contains is either bdev or whole, and
since we take the branch it must be whole. So it seems to me the
following patch would be the right one:

[PATCH] 1394: fix for recently added firewire patch that breaks things on ppc

Recently a patch was added for preliminary suspend/resume handling on
!PPC_PMAC.  However, this broke both suspend and firewire on powerpc
because it saves the pci state after the device has already been disabled.

This moves the save state to before the pmac specific code.

Daniel Kobras [Sun, 27 Aug 2006 08:23:24 +0000 (01:23 -0700)]
[PATCH] dm: Fix deadlock under high i/o load in raid1 setup.

On an nForce4-equipped machine with two SATA disk in raid1 setup using dmraid,
we experienced frequent deadlock of the system under high i/o load.  'cat
/dev/zero > ~/zero' was the most reliable way to reproduce them: Randomly
after a few GB, 'cp' would be left in 'D' state along with kjournald and
kmirrord.  The functions cp and kjournald were blocked in did vary, but
kmirrord's wchan always pointed to 'mempool_alloc()'.  We've seen this pattern
on 2.6.15 and 2.6.17 kernels.  http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/4/20/142 indicates
that this problem has been around even before.

So much for the facts, here's my interpretation: mempool_alloc() first tries
to atomically allocate the requested memory, or falls back to hand out
preallocated chunks from the mempool.  If both fail, it puts the calling
process (kmirrord in this case) on a private waitqueue until somebody refills
the pool.  Where the only 'somebody' is kmirrord itself, so we have a
deadlock.

I worked around this problem by falling back to a (blocking) kmalloc when
before kmirrord would have ended up on the waitqueue.  This defeats part of
the benefits of using the mempool, but at least keeps the system running.  And
it could be done with a two-line change.  Note that mempool_alloc() clears the
GFP_NOIO flag internally, and only uses it to decide whether to wait or return
an error if immediate allocation fails, so the attached patch doesn't change
behaviour in the non-deadlocking case.  Path is against current git
(2.6.18-rc4), but should apply to earlier versions as well.  I've tested on
2.6.15, where this patch makes the difference between random lockup and a
stable system.

properly.

[PATCH] hwmon: abituguru timeout fixes

This patch contains 2 sets of fixes for the abituguru:
 1) Much improved timeout handling, drasticly reducing the amount of
    timeout errors on some motherboards
 2) Fix the exit paths in the bank1 sensor type detect code to always
    restore the original settings even on an error. Without this our
    special test settings could remain seriously confusing the system
    BIOS's setup menu.

Both are very much related and are must haves, to avoid messing up the
uguru CMOS settings.

Detailed changes:
- Much improved timeout / wait for status handling. Many thanks to Sunil
  Kumar, for all his testing, ideas and patches! The code now first busy
  waits, polling the uguru for the expected status as this usually
  succeeds pretty quickly (within 90 reads). To avoid unnecessary CPU burn
  in timeout conditions, the amount of busy waiting has been halved from
  previous versions (120 tries instead of 250). This is not a problem,
  because this version goes to sleep after 120 attemps for 1 jiffy and
  then tries again, it does this sleep and try again 5 times before
  finally giving up. This (almost?) completly removes the timeout errors
  some people have seen regulary. Apparently some older uguru versions
  sometimes are distracted for a (relatively) long time. This solves this.
- These timeout errors not only occur in the sending address part of
  reading the uguru but also in the wait for read state, so errors in
  this state are now handled as retryable just like send address state
  errors and are only logged and reported to userspace if 3 executive
  tries fail.

If the netdev watchdog detects a transmit timeout, do_reset is called which
msleeps - this is illegal in atomic context.

This patch schedules the timeout handling as a workqueue item.

Alright, this one is only triggered when slab debugging is enabled.  The
slabs are assumed to be aligned on a HUGEPTE_TABLE_SIZE boundary.  The free
path makes use of this assumption and uses the lowest nibble to pass around
an index into an array of kmem_cache pointers.  With slab debugging turned
on, the slab is still aligned, but the "working" object pointer is not.
This would break the assumption above that a full nibble is available for
the PGF_CACHENUM_MASK.

The following patch reduces PGF_CACHENUM_MASK to cover only the two least
significant bits, which is enough to cover the current number of 4 pgtable
cache types.  Then use this constant to mask out the appropriate part of
the huge pte pointer.

[POWERPC] Fix gettimeofday inaccuracies

There are two problems in the powerpc gettimeofday code which can
cause incorrect results to be returned.

The first is that there is a race between do_gettimeofday and the
timer interrupt:

1. do_gettimeofday does get_tb()

2. decrementer exception on boot cpu which runs timer_recalc_offset,
   which also samples the timebase and updates the do_gtod structure
   with a greater timebase value.

3. do_gettimeofday calls __do_gettimeofday, which leads to the
   negative result from tb_val - temp_varp->tb_orig_stamp.

The second is caused by taking the boot cpu offline, which can cause
the value of tb_last_jiffy to be increased past the currently
available timebase, causing the same underflow as above.
