The urgency for the token is based on the number of times\na task is required to swap-in pages. Accordingly, the priority of a task is\nincremented if it has been badly affected due to swap-outs. To ensure that\nthe token doesnt bounce around rapidly, the token holders are given a priority\nboost. The priority of tasks is also decremented, if their rate of swap-in\u0027s\nkeeps reducing. This way, the condition to check whether to pre-empt the swap\ntoken, is a matter of comparing two task\u0027s priority fields.\n\n[akpm@osdl.org: cleanups]\nSigned-off-by: Ashwin Chaugule \u003cashwin.chaugule@celunite.com\u003e\nCc: Rik van Riel \u003criel@redhat.com\u003e\nCc: Peter Zijlstra \u003ca.p.zijlstra@chello.nl\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@osdl.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@osdl.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "753ca4f312a4b26940e4731b4fa5dbbbbcc77e97", "tree": "bf0ca9aa882e50b681ec72e43998542472752ef6", "parents": [ "a1b26c32af51d0fd82754bc06b495dd03c2f2d58" ], "author": { "name": "Akinobu Mita", "email": "akinobu.mita@gmail.com", "time": "Sat Nov 25 11:09:34 2006 -0800" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@woody.osdl.org", "time": "Sat Nov 25 13:28:34 2006 -0800" }, "message": "[PATCH] fix copy_process() error check\n\nThe return value of copy_process() should be checked by IS_ERR().\n\nSigned-off-by: Akinobu Mita \u003cakinobu.mita@gmail.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@osdl.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@osdl.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "9a3a04ac386f44175b6a4142eaeab3d4170a57f3", "tree": "b07590ec50da7d079b1c2852ccc79cbcd8fb2cce", "parents": [ "dc791d479802a784836a236d4a77a5325be545c4" ], "author": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@woody.osdl.org", "time": "Tue Nov 14 15:20:51 2006 -0800" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@woody.osdl.org", "time": "Tue Nov 14 15:20:51 2006 -0800" }, "message": "Revert \"[PATCH] fix Data Acess error in dup_fd\"\n\nThis reverts commit 0130b0b32ee53dc7add773fcea984f6a26ef1da3.\n\nSergey Vlasov points out (and Vadim Lobanov concurs) that the bug it was\nsupposed to fix must be some unrelated memory corruption, and the \"fix\"\nactually causes more problems:\n\n \"However, the new code does not look safe in all cases.

It \"observes\" and maps all locking rules as\nthey occur dynamically (as triggered by the kernel\u0027s natural use of spinlocks,\nrwlocks, mutexes and rwsems). Whenever the lock validator subsystem detects a\nnew locking scenario, it validates this new rule against the existing set of\nrules. If this new rule is consistent with the existing set of rules then the\nnew rule is added transparently and the kernel continues as normal. If the\nnew rule could create a deadlock scenario then this condition is printed out.\n\nWhen determining validity of locking, all possible \"deadlock scenarios\" are\nconsidered: assuming arbitrary number of CPUs, arbitrary irq context and task\ncontext constellations, running arbitrary combinations of all the existing\nlocking scenarios. In a typical system this means millions of separate\nscenarios. This is why we call it a \"locking correctness\" validator - for all\nrules that are observed the lock validator proves it with mathematical\ncertainty that a deadlock could not occur (assuming that the lock validator\nimplementation itself is correct and its internal data structures are not\ncorrupted by some other kernel subsystem). [see more details and conditionals\nof this statement in include/linux/lockdep.h and\nDocumentation/lockdep-design.txt]\n\nFurthermore, this \"all possible scenarios\" property of the validator also\nenables the finding of complex, highly unlikely multi-CPU multi-context races\nvia single single-context rules, increasing the likelyhood of finding bugs\ndrastically. In practical terms: the lock validator already found a bug in\nthe upstream kernel that could only occur on systems with 3 or more CPUs, and\nwhich needed 3 very unlikely code sequences to occur at once on the 3 CPUs.\nThat bug was found and reported on a single-CPU system (!). So in essence a\nrace will be found \"piecemail-wise\", triggering all the necessary components\nfor the race, without having to reproduce the race scenario itself! In its\nshort existence the lock validator found and reported many bugs before they\nactually caused a real deadlock.\n\nTo further increase the efficiency of the validator, the mapping is not per\n\"lock instance\", but per \"lock-class\". For example, all struct inode objects\nin the kernel have inode-\u003einotify_mutex. If there are 10,000 inodes cached,\nthen there are 10,000 lock objects. But -\u003einotify_mutex is a single \"lock\ntype\", and all locking activities that occur against -\u003einotify_mutex are\n\"unified\" into this single lock-class. The advantage of the lock-class\napproach is that all historical -\u003einotify_mutex uses are mapped into a single\n(and as narrow as possible) set of locking rules - regardless of how many\ndifferent tasks or inode structures it took to build this set of rules. The\nset of rules persist during the lifetime of the kernel.\n\nTo see the rough magnitude of checking that the lock validator does, here\u0027s a\nportion of /proc/lockdep_stats, fresh after bootup:\n\n lock-classes: 694 [max: 2048]\n direct dependencies: 1598 [max: 8192]\n indirect dependencies: 17896\n all direct dependencies: 16206\n dependency chains: 1910 [max: 8192]\n in-hardirq chains: 17\n in-softirq chains: 105\n in-process chains: 1065\n stack-trace entries: 38761 [max: 131072]\n combined max dependencies: 2033928\n hardirq-safe locks: 24\n hardirq-unsafe locks: 176\n softirq-safe locks: 53\n softirq-unsafe locks: 137\n irq-safe locks: 59\n irq-unsafe locks: 176\n\nThe lock validator has observed 1598 actual single-thread locking patterns,\nand has validated all possible 2033928 distinct locking scenarios.\n\nMore details about the design of the lock validator can be found in\nDocumentation/lockdep-design.txt, which can also found at:\n\n http://redhat.com/~mingo/lockdep-patches/lockdep-design.txt\n\n[bunk@stusta.de: cleanups]\nSigned-off-by: Ingo Molnar \u003cmingo@elte.hu\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Arjan van de Ven \u003carjan@linux.intel.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Adrian Bunk \u003cbunk@stusta.de\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@osdl.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@osdl.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "de30a2b355ea85350ca2f58f3b9bf4e5bc007986", "tree": "0bef670aff65614b3c78ca13b20307355b8221d5", "parents": [ "5bdc9b447c0076f494a56fdcd93ee8c5e78a2afd" ], "author": { "name": "Ingo Molnar", "email": "mingo@elte.hu", "time": "Mon Jul 03 00:24:42 2006 -0700" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@g5.osdl.org", "time": "Mon Jul 03 15:27:03 2006 -0700" }, "message": "[PATCH] lockdep: irqtrace subsystem, core\n\nAccurate hard-IRQ-flags and softirq-flags state tracing.\n\nThis allows us to attach extra functionality to IRQ flags on/off\nevents (such as trace-on/off).\n\nSigned-off-by: Ingo Molnar \u003cmingo@elte.hu\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Arjan van de Ven \u003carjan@linux.intel.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@osdl.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@osdl.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "9a11b49a805665e13a56aa067afaf81d43ec1514", "tree": "bf499956e3f67d1211d68ab1e2eb76645f453dfb", "parents": [ "fb7e42413a098cc45b3adf858da290033af62bae" ], "author": { "name": "Ingo Molnar", "email": "mingo@elte.hu", "time": "Mon Jul 03 00:24:33 2006 -0700" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@g5.osdl.org", "time": "Mon Jul 03 15:27:01 2006 -0700" }, "message": "[PATCH] lockdep: better lock debugging\n\nGeneric lock debugging:\n\n - generalized lock debugging framework.

With struct pid being dynamically\nallocated meant we could create the hash table entry when the pid was\nallocated and free the hash table entry when the pid was freed. Instead of\nplaying with the hash lists when ever a process would attach or detach to a\nprocess.\n\nFor myself the fact that it gave what my previous task_ref patch gave for free\nwith simpler code was a big win. The problem is that if you hold a reference\nto struct task_struct you lock in 10K of low memory. If you do that in a user\ncontrollable way like /proc does, with an unprivileged but hostile user space\napplication with typical resource limits of 1000 fds and 100 processes I can\ntrigger the OOM killer by consuming all of low memory with task structs, on a\nmachine wight 1GB of low memory.\n\nIf I instead hold a reference to struct pid which holds a pointer to my\ntask_struct, I don\u0027t suffer from that problem because struct pid is 2 orders\nof magnitude smaller. In fact struct pid is small enough that most other\nkernel data structures dwarf it, so simply limiting the number of referring\ndata structures is enough to prevent exhaustion of low memory.\n\nThis splits the current struct pid into two structures, struct pid and struct\npid_link, and reduces our number of hash tables from PIDTYPE_MAX to just one.\nstruct pid_link is the per process linkage into the hash tables and lives in\nstruct task_struct. struct pid is given an indepedent lifetime, and holds\npointers to each of the pid types.\n\nThe independent life of struct pid simplifies attach_pid, and detach_pid,\nbecause we are always manipulating the list of pids and not the hash table.\nIn addition in giving struct pid an indpendent life it makes the concept much\nmore powerful.\n\nKernel data structures can now embed a struct pid * instead of a pid_t and\nnot suffer from pid wrap around problems or from keeping unnecessarily\nlarge amounts of memory allocated.\n\nSigned-off-by: Eric W.

It means that sigaltstack should be\ncleared when sigaltstack memory space is shared by cloned threads with\nCLONE_SIGHAND.\n\nNote that I chose \"if (clone_flags \u0026 CLONE_SIGHAND)\" line because:\n - If clone_flags line is not existed, fork() does not inherit sigaltstack.\n - CLONE_VM is another choice, but vfork() does not inherit sigaltstack.\n - CLONE_SIGHAND implies CLONE_VM, and it looks suitable.\n - CLONE_THREAD is another candidate, and includes CLONE_SIGHAND + CLONE_VM,\n but this flag has a bit different semantics.\nI decided to use CLONE_SIGHAND.\n\n[ Changed to test for CLONE_VM \u0026\u0026 !CLONE_VFORK after discussion --Linus ]\n\nSigned-off-by: GOTO Masanori \u003cgotom@sanori.org\u003e\nCc: Roland McGrath \u003croland@redhat.com\u003e\nCc: Ingo Molnar \u003cmingo@elte.hu\u003e\nAcked-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@osdl.org\u003e\nCc: Ulrich Drepper \u003cdrepper@redhat.com\u003e\nCc: Jakub Jelinek \u003cjakub@redhat.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@osdl.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@osdl.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "7cd9013be6c22f3ff6f777354f766c8c0b955e17", "tree": "328e45aadb4c5bc9b6cd530be03572070201f5e5", "parents": [ "27d162e26a873883937b64526445877bd3341d23" ], "author": { "name": "Christoph Hellwig", "email": "hch@lst.de", "time": "Sat Mar 11 03:27:18 2006 -0800" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@g5.osdl.org", "time": "Sat Mar 11 09:19:34 2006 -0800" }, "message": "[PATCH] remove __put_task_struct_cb export again\n\nThe patch \u0027[PATCH] RCU signal handling\u0027 [1] added an export for\n__put_task_struct_cb, a put_task_struct helper newly introduced in that\npatch.

It appears that on\nall arches we can safely descend without page_table_lock.\n\nSigned-off-by: Hugh Dickins \u003chugh@veritas.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@osdl.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@osdl.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "7ee78232501ea9de2b6c8f10d32c9a0fee541357", "tree": "2041a36a13bdd8b096dfbf52b63a87739ea97d6b", "parents": [ "fd3e42fcc888a773572282575d2fdbf5cfd6216e" ], "author": { "name": "Hugh Dickins", "email": "hugh@veritas.com", "time": "Sat Oct 29 18:16:08 2005 -0700" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@g5.osdl.org", "time": "Sat Oct 29 21:40:38 2005 -0700" }, "message": "[PATCH] mm: dup_mmap down new mmap_sem\n\nOne anomaly remains from when Andrea rationalized the responsibilities of\nmmap_sem and page_table_lock: in dup_mmap we add vmas to the child holding its\npage_table_lock, but not the mmap_sem which normally guards the vma list and\nrbtree.
