An old check for a possibly null task\ncpuset pointer needed to be changed to a check for a task marked\nPF_EXITING. The pointer can\u0027t be null anymore, thanks to\nthe_top_cpuset_hack (documented in kernel/cpuset.c). But the task could\nhave gone into PF_EXITING state after it was found in the task_list scan.\n\nIf a task is PF_EXITING in this code, it is possible that its task-\u003ecpuset\npointer is pointing to the top cpuset due to the_top_cpuset_hack, rather\nthan because the top_cpuset was that tasks last valid cpuset. In that\ncase, the wrong cpuset reference counter would be decremented.\n\nThe fix is trivial. Instead of failing the system call if the tasks cpuset\npointer is null here, fail it if the task is in PF_EXITING state.\n\nThe code for \u0027the_top_cpuset_hack\u0027 that changes an exiting tasks cpuset to\nthe top_cpuset is done without locking, so could happen at anytime. But it\nis done during the exit handling, after the PF_EXITING flag is set. So if\nwe verify that a task is still not PF_EXITING after we copy out its cpuset\npointer (into \u0027oldcs\u0027, below), we know that \u0027oldcs\u0027 is not one of these\nhack references to the top_cpuset.\n\nSigned-off-by: Paul Jackson \u003cpj@sgi.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@osdl.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@osdl.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "03cbc358aab3faf34bfeaa02206fa660127e9b3f", "tree": "8d95237532390a1beeef37158174fd045b0f8819", "parents": [ "632dd2053a1146c826ceb6f26ab689389c05e751" ], "author": { "name": "Ingo Molnar", "email": "mingo@elte.hu", "time": "Fri Sep 29 02:01:46 2006 -0700" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@g5.osdl.org", "time": "Fri Sep 29 09:18:25 2006 -0700" }, "message": "[PATCH] lockdep core: improve the lock-chain-hash\n\nWith CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC turned off i was getting sporadic failures in\nthe locking self-test:\n\n ------------\u003e\n | Locking API testsuite:\n ----------------------------------------------------------------------------\n | spin |wlock |rlock |mutex | wsem | rsem |\n --------------------------------------------------------------------------\n A-A deadlock: ok | ok | ok | ok | ok | ok |\n A-B-B-A deadlock: ok | ok | ok | ok | ok | ok |\n A-B-B-C-C-A deadlock: ok | ok | ok | ok | ok | ok |\n A-B-C-A-B-C deadlock: ok | ok | ok | ok | ok | ok |\n A-B-B-C-C-D-D-A deadlock: ok |FAILED| ok | ok | ok | ok |\n A-B-C-D-B-D-D-A deadlock: ok | ok | ok | ok | ok | ok |\n A-B-C-D-B-C-D-A deadlock: ok | ok | ok | ok | ok |FAILED|\n\nafter much debugging it turned out to be caused by accidental chain-hash\nkey collisions.

But because there was a 6 bits overlap\nbetween subsequent IDs and their high bits tended to be similar, there was\na chance for accidental chain-hash collision for a low number of locks\nheld.\n\nthe solution is to shift by 11 bits:\n\n #define iterate_chain_key(key1, key2) \\\n\t(((key1) \u003c\u003c MAX_LOCKDEP_KEYS_BITS) ^ \\\n\t((key1) \u003e\u003e (64-MAX_LOCKDEP_KEYS_BITS)) ^ \\\n \t(key2))\n\nThis keeps the hash perfect up to 5 locks held, but even above that the\nhash is still good because 11 bits is a relative prime to the total 64\nbits, so a complete match will only occur after 64 held locks (which doesnt\nhappen in Linux). Even after 5 locks held, entropy of the 5 IDs mixed into\nthe hash is already good enough so that overlap doesnt generate a colliding\nhash ID.\n\nwith this change the false positives went away.\n\nSigned-off-by: Ingo Molnar \u003cmingo@elte.hu\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@osdl.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@osdl.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "eb84a20e9e6b98dcb33023ad22241d79107a08a7", "tree": "4971aef730cc3a1917463afe1dbb381dea664e99", "parents": [ "5f412b24240d92212e50ebbaff2dff20c9e6f3d0" ], "author": { "name": "Alan Cox", "email": "alan@lxorguk.ukuu.org.uk", "time": "Fri Sep 29 02:01:41 2006 -0700" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@g5.osdl.org", "time": "Fri Sep 29 09:18:25 2006 -0700" }, "message": "[PATCH] audit/accounting: tty locking\n\nAdd tty locking around the audit and accounting code.\n\nThe whole current-\u003esignal-\u003e locking is all deeply strange but it\u0027s for\nsomeone else to sort out.

Make this top cpus file read-only.\n\nOn systems that have cpusets configured in their kernel, but that aren\u0027t\nactively using cpusets (for some distros, this covers the majority of\nsystems) all tasks end up in the top cpuset.\n\nIf that system does support memory hotplug, then these tasks cannot make\nuse of memory nodes that are added after system boot, because the memory\nnodes are not allowed in the top cpuset. This is a surprising regression\nover earlier kernels that didn\u0027t have cpusets enabled.\n\nOne key motivation for this change is to remain consistent with the\nbehaviour for the top_cpuset\u0027s \u0027cpus\u0027, which is also read-only, and which\nautomatically tracks the cpu_online_map.\n\nThis change also has the minor benefit that it fixes a long standing,\nlittle noticed, minor bug in cpusets. The cpuset performance tweak to\nshort circuit the cpuset_zone_allowed() check on systems with just a single\ncpuset (see \u0027number_of_cpusets\u0027, in linux/cpuset.h) meant that simply\nchanging the \u0027mems\u0027 of the top_cpuset had no affect, even though the change\n(the write system call) appeared to succeed. With the following change,\nthat write to the \u0027mems\u0027 file fails -EACCES, and the \u0027mems\u0027 file stubbornly\nrefuses to be changed via user space writes. Thus no one should be mislead\ninto thinking they\u0027ve changed the top_cpusets\u0027s \u0027mems\u0027 when in affect they\nhaven\u0027t.\n\nIn order to keep the behaviour of cpusets consistent between systems\nactively making use of them and systems not using them, this patch changes\nthe behaviour of the \u0027mems\u0027 file in the top (root) cpuset, making it read\nonly, and making it automatically track the value of node_online_map.

In this discussion, I realized that there are some places\nthat the pi_lock is being grabbed when it really wasn\u0027t necessary. Also\nthis patch does a little bit of clean up.\n\nThis patch basically does three things:\n\n1) renames the \"boost\" variable to \"chain_walk\". Since it is used in\n the debugging case when it isn\u0027t going to be boosted. It better\n describes what the test is going to do if it succeeds.\n\n2) moves get_task_struct to just before the unlocking of the wait_lock.\n This removes duplicate code, and makes it a little easier to read. The\n owner wont go away while either the pi_lock or the wait_lock are held.\n\n3) removes the pi_locking and owner blocked checking completely from the\n debugging case. This is because the grabbing the lock and doing the\n check, then releasing the lock is just so full of races.

For this\nreason the memory bitmap structure consists of several linked lists of objects\nthat contain pointers to memory pages with the actual bitmap data. Still, for\na typical system all of these lists fit in a single page, so it\u0027s reasonable\nto introduce an additional mechanism allowing us to allocate all of them\nefficiently without sacrificing the generality of the design. This is done\nwith the help of the chain_allocator structure and associated functions.\n\nWe need to use two memory bitmaps during the suspend phase of the\nsuspend-resume cycle. One of them is necessary for marking the saveable\npages, and the second is used to mark the pages in which to store the copies\nof them (aka image pages).\n\nFirst, the bitmaps are created and we allocate as many image pages as needed\n(the corresponding bits in the second bitmap are set as soon as the pages are\nallocated). Second, the bits corresponding to the saveable pages are set in\nthe first bitmap and the saveable pages are copied to the image pages.\nFinally, the first bitmap is used to save the kernel virtual addresses of the\nsaveable pages and the second one is used to save the contents of the image\npages.\n\nSigned-off-by: Rafael J.

This is not how 2.6.17 works, and we introduced\nthis bug in one of the early genirq cleanups right before it went into\n-mm. (the bug was not in the genirq patchset for a long time, and we\ndidnt notice the bug due to the lack of -rt rebase to the new genirq\ncode. -rt, and hardirq-preemption in particular opens up such races much\nwider than anything else.)\n\nSigned-off-by: Ingo Molnar \u003cmingo@elte.hu\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Thomas Gleixner \u003ctglx@linutronix.de\u003e\nAcked-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt \u003cbenh@kernel.crashing.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@osdl.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "e4b69aa2a1bcee21f8d5e089b8682dd8aaace5eb", "tree": "ccc3ff548d892965999d2ec2d64617e6daff41ac", "parents": [ "1ab7a1f3b496aae5b1e062a6f50d62830c248190" ], "author": { "name": "Kenneth Lee", "email": "kenlee@dg.gov.cn", "time": "Sat Sep 16 12:15:55 2006 -0700" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@g5.osdl.org", "time": "Sat Sep 16 12:54:32 2006 -0700" }, "message": "[PATCH] bug fix in kernel/kmod.c\n\nI think there is a bug in kmod.c: In __call_usermodehelper(), when\nkernel_thread(wait_for_helper, ...) return success, since wait_for_helper()\nmight call complete() at any time, the sub_info should not be used any\nmore.\n\nNormally wait_for_helper() take a long time to finish, you may not get\nproblem for most of the case.
