A device cgroup associates a device access whitelist with each cgroup.\n A whitelist entry has 4 fields. \u0027type\u0027 is a (all), c (char), or b (block).\n\u0027all\u0027 means it applies to all types and all major and minor numbers. Major\nand minor are either an integer or * for all. Access is a composition of r\n(read), w (write), and m (mknod).\n\nThe root device cgroup starts with rwm to \u0027all\u0027. A child devcg gets a copy of\nthe parent. Admins can then remove devices from the whitelist or add new\nentries. A child cgroup can never receive a device access which is denied its\nparent.

This choice was therefore moved to\ninit/Kconfig, which worked, but placed the choice between classic and\npreemptible RCU at the top level, a very obtuse choice indeed.\n\nThis patch changes from the Kconfig \"choice\" mechanism to a pair of booleans,\nonly one of which (CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU) is user-visible, and is located in\nkernel/Kconfig.preempt, where one would expect it to be.

Also things like accessing\n\t rq-\u003elock while reading cpu usage becomes easier if the code lived in\n\t kernel/sched.c)\n\nThe patch also modifies the cpu controller not to provide the same accounting\ninformation.\n\nTested-by: Balbir Singh \u003cbalbir@linux.vnet.ibm.com\u003e\n\n Tested the patches on top of 2.6.24-rc3. The patches work fine. Ran\n some simple tests like cpuspin (spin on the cpu), ran several tasks in\n the same group and timed them. Compared their time stamps with\n cpuacct.usage.\n\nSigned-off-by: Srivatsa Vaddagiri \u003cvatsa@linux.vnet.ibm.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Balbir Singh \u003cbalbir@linux.vnet.ibm.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Ingo Molnar \u003cmingo@elte.hu\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "529a73fbaeee2f3bd932be8b54665994133be6ae", "tree": "89376052e434af5a68a4c8adfbeaf75b2e0f93c6", "parents": [ "e4e9a7adebfc01bfa2a46c76615c249a4082dfec" ], "author": { "name": "Mike Frysinger", "email": "michael.frysinger@analog.com", "time": "Fri Nov 23 14:28:44 2007 +0800" }, "committer": { "name": "Bryan Wu", "email": "bryan.wu@analog.com", "time": "Fri Nov 23 14:28:44 2007 +0800" }, "message": "Blackfin arch: punt CONFIG_BFIN -- we already have CONFIG_BLACKFIN\n\nSigned-off-by: Mike Frysinger \u003cmichael.frysinger@analog.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Bryan Wu \u003cbryan.wu@analog.com\u003e\n\n" }, { "commit": "57d5f66b86079efac5c9a7843cce2a9bcbe58fb8", "tree": "720942bfb200f46da6c77535a110106dce80f9eb", "parents": [ "42614fcde7bfdcbe43a7b17035c167dfebc354dd" ], "author": { "name": "Eric W.

When used in the kernel, it can\noffer an fd-bridge to enable, for example, functionalities like KAIO or\nsyslets/threadlets to signal to an fd the completion of certain operations.\nBut more in general, an eventfd can be used by the kernel to signal readiness,\nin a POSIX poll/select way, of interfaces that would otherwise be incompatible\nwith it. The API is:\n\nint eventfd(unsigned int count);\n\nThe eventfd API accepts an initial \"count\" parameter, and returns an eventfd\nfd. It supports poll(2) (POLLIN, POLLOUT, POLLERR), read(2) and write(2).\n\nThe POLLIN flag is raised when the internal counter is greater than zero.\n\nThe POLLOUT flag is raised when at least a value of \"1\" can be written to the\ninternal counter.\n\nThe POLLERR flag is raised when an overflow in the counter value is detected.\n\nThe write(2) operation can never overflow the counter, since it blocks (unless\nO_NONBLOCK is set, in which case -EAGAIN is returned).\n\nBut the eventfd_signal() function can do it, since it\u0027s supposed to not sleep\nduring its operation.\n\nThe read(2) function reads the __u64 counter value, and reset the internal\nvalue to zero. If the value read is equal to (__u64) -1, an overflow happened\non the internal counter (due to 2^64 eventfd_signal() posts that has never\nbeen retired - unlickely, but possible).\n\nThe write(2) call writes an __u64 count value, and adds it to the current\ncounter. The eventfd fd supports O_NONBLOCK also.\n\nOn the kernel side, we have:\n\nstruct file *eventfd_fget(int fd);\nint eventfd_signal(struct file *file, unsigned int n);\n\nThe eventfd_fget() should be called to get a struct file* from an eventfd fd\n(this is an fget() + check of f_op being an eventfd fops pointer).\n\nThe kernel can then call eventfd_signal() every time it wants to post an event\nto userspace.

If you want to reliably fetch signals on\nthe signalfd file, you need to block them with sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK). This\nseems to be working fine on my Dual Opteron machine. I made a quick test\nprogram for it:\n\nhttp://www.xmailserver.org/signafd-test.c\n\nThe signalfd() system call implements signal delivery into a file descriptor\nreceiver. The signalfd file descriptor if created with the following API:\n\nint signalfd(int ufd, const sigset_t *mask, size_t masksize);\n\nThe \"ufd\" parameter allows to change an existing signalfd sigmask, w/out going\nto close/create cycle (Linus idea). Use \"ufd\" \u003d\u003d -1 if you want a brand new\nsignalfd file.\n\nThe \"mask\" allows to specify the signal mask of signals that we are interested\nin. The \"masksize\" parameter is the size of \"mask\".\n\nThe signalfd fd supports the poll(2) and read(2) system calls. The poll(2)\nwill return POLLIN when signals are available to be dequeued. As a direct\nconsequence of supporting the Linux poll subsystem, the signalfd fd can use\nused together with epoll(2) too.\n\nThe read(2) system call will return a \"struct signalfd_siginfo\" structure in\nthe userspace supplied buffer. The return value is the number of bytes copied\nin the supplied buffer, or -1 in case of error. The read(2) call can also\nreturn 0, in case the sighand structure to which the signalfd was attached,\nhas been orphaned. The O_NONBLOCK flag is also supported, and read(2) will\nreturn -EAGAIN in case no signal is available.\n\nIf the size of the buffer passed to read(2) is lower than sizeof(struct\nsignalfd_siginfo), -EINVAL is returned. A read from the signalfd can also\nreturn -ERESTARTSYS in case a signal hits the process.

It attempts to address a variety of concerns\nwith the existing implementation.\n\nA. Management of object queues\n\n A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object\n queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for\n each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of\n queueing them up.\n\nB. Storage overhead of object queues\n\n SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even\n has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each\n node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of\n objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our\n systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up\n for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include\n the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole\n memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues.\n\nC. SLAB meta data overhead\n\n SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data\n cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps\n all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally\n aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte\n boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over.\n SLAB cannot do this.\n\nD. SLAB has a complex cache reaper\n\n SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems\n the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that\n operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list\n of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues\n during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs.\n\nE. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support\n\n SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that\n allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that\n situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of\n policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is\n certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to\n memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from\n one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects\n from one node and then will switch to the next.\n\nF. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists\n\n SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large\n number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can\n only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global\n pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to\n decrease fragmentation.\n\nG. Tunables\n\n SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can\n manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still\n requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global\n parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab\n order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the\n less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the\n better SLUB will be scaling.\n\nG. Slab merging\n\n We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those\n on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This\n leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can\n be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease\n slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled\n up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying\n slub_nomerge on boot up.\n\n Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel\n because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt\n differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those.\n\nH. Diagnostics\n\n The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a\n recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that\n is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths).\n SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the \"slab_debug\" option.\n Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of\n slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running\n with the usual performance and it is much more likely that\n race conditions can be reproduced.\n\nI. Resiliency\n\n If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting\n common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the\n system to continue.\n\nJ. Tracing\n\n Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug\u003dT,\u003cslabcache\u003e option\n during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache\n and dump the object contents on free.\n\nK. On demand DMA cache creation.\n\n Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with\n __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed.\n For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is\n completely eliminated.\n\nL. Performance increase\n\n Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the\n range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the\n underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate\n larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub\n performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may\n enable further performance increases.\n\nTested on:\ni386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator\n\nSLUB Boot options\n\nslub_nomerge\t\tDisable merging of slabs\nslub_min_order\u003dx\tRequire a minimum order for slab caches.

It simply counts the\nnumber of bytes passed into read() and write(). So if a process reads 1MB\nfrom an already-cached file, it is accused of having performed 1MB of I/O,\nwhich is wrong.\n\n(David Wright had some comments on the applicability of the present logical IO accounting:\n\n For billing purposes it is useless but for workload analysis it is very\n useful\n\n read_bytes/read_calls average read request size\n write_bytes/write_calls average write request size\n\n read_bytes/read_blocks ie logical/physical can indicate hit rate or thrashing\n write_bytes/write_blocks ie logical/physical guess since pdflush writes can\n be missed\n\n I often look for logical larger than physical to see filesystem cache\n problems. And the bytes/cpusec can help find applications that are\n dominating the cache and causing slow interactive response from page cache\n contention.\n\n I want to find the IO intensive applications and make sure they are doing\n efficient IO. Thus the acctcms(sysV) or csacms command would give the high\n IO commands).\n\nThis patchset adds new accounting which tries to be more accurate. We account\nfor three things:\n\nreads:\n\n attempt to count the number of bytes which this process really did cause\n to be fetched from the storage layer. Done at the submit_bio() level, so it\n is accurate for block-backed filesystems. I also attempt to wire up NFS and\n CIFS.\n\nwrites:\n\n attempt to count the number of bytes which this process caused to be sent\n to the storage layer. This is done at page-dirtying time.\n\n The big inaccuracy here is truncate. If a process writes 1MB to a file\n and then deletes the file, it will in fact perform no writeout. But it will\n have been accounted as having caused 1MB of write.\n\n So...\n\ncancelled_writes:\n\n account the number of bytes which this process caused to not happen, by\n truncating pagecache.\n\n We _could_ just subtract this from the process\u0027s `write\u0027 accounting. But\n that means that some processes would be reported to have done negative\n amounts of write IO, which is silly.\n\n So we just report the raw number and punt this decision up to userspace.\n\nNow, we _could_ account for writes at the physical I/O level. But\n\n- This would require that we track memory-dirtying tasks at the per-page\n level (would require a new pointer in struct page).\n\n- It would mean that IO statistics for a process are usually only available\n long after that process has exitted. Which means that we probably cannot\n communicate this info via taskstats.\n\nThis patch:\n\nWire up the kernel-private data structures and the accessor functions to\nmanipulate them.\n\nCc: Jay Lan \u003cjlan@sgi.com\u003e\nCc: Shailabh Nagar \u003cnagar@watson.ibm.com\u003e\nCc: Balbir Singh \u003cbalbir@in.ibm.com\u003e\nCc: Chris Sturtivant \u003ccsturtiv@sgi.com\u003e\nCc: Tony Ernst \u003ctee@sgi.com\u003e\nCc: Guillaume Thouvenin \u003cguillaume.thouvenin@bull.net\u003e\nCc: David Wright \u003cdaw@sgi.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@osdl.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@osdl.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "88a22c985e3545c55c9779971007f0f29f912519", "tree": "b6798bc78f87531b6c3c8e0bdd9230af9a3a0887", "parents": [ "f0ee61a6cecd100301a60d99feb187776533b2a2" ], "author": { "name": "Kay Sievers", "email": "kay.sievers@vrfy.org", "time": "Thu Sep 14 11:23:28 2006 +0200" }, "committer": { "name": "Greg Kroah-Hartman", "email": "gregkh@suse.de", "time": "Fri Dec 01 14:51:58 2006 -0800" }, "message": "CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED\n\nProvide a way to support older versions of udev that are shipped in\nolder distros.

It was my assumption that because sysctl had been\ndeprecated for all of 2.6 there would be no user space users by this point,\nso I initially gave sys_sysctl a very short deprecation period.\n\nNow that I know there are a few real users the only sane way to proceed\nwith deprecation is to push the time limit out to a year or two work and\nwork with distributions that have big testing pools like fedora core to\nfind these last remaining users.\n\nWhich means that the sys_sysctl interface needs to be maintained in the\nmeantime.\n\nSince I have provided a technical measure that allows us to add new sysctl\nentries without reserving more binary numbers I believe that is enough to\nfix the sys_sysctl binary interface maintenance problems, because there is\nno longer a need to change the binary interface at all.\n\nSince the sys_sysctl implementation needs to stay around for a while and\nthe worst of the maintenance issues that caused us to occasionally break\nthe ABI have been addressed I don\u0027t see any advantage in continuing with\nthe removal of sys_sysctl.\n\nSo instead of merely increasing the deprecation period this patch removes\nthe deprecation of sys_sysctl and modifies the kernel to compile the code\nin by default.\n\nWith committing to maintain sys_sysctl we get all of the advantages of a\nfast interface for anything that needs it.
