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.

I think someone finally implemented atomic_inc_not_zero(\u0026count) to\nautomate the common case. Unfortunately this means you must special case the\nrcu access case.\n\nWhen data structures are only visible via rcu in a manner that is not\ndetermined by the reference count on the object (i.e. tasks are visible until\ntheir zombies are reaped) there is a much simpler technique we can employ.\nSimply delaying the decrement of the reference count until the rcu interval is\nover.\n\nWhat that means is that the proc code that looks up a task and later\nwants to sleep can now do:\n\nrcu_read_lock();\ntask \u003d find_task_by_pid(some_pid);\nif (task) {\n\tget_task_struct(task);\n}\nrcu_read_unlock();\n\nThe effect on the rest of the kernel is that put_task_struct becomes cheaper\nand immediate, and in the case where the task has been reaped it frees the\ntask immediate instead of unnecessarily waiting an until the rcu interval is\nover.\n\nCleanup of task_struct does not happen when its reference count drops to\nzero, instead cleanup happens when release_task is called. Tasks can only\nbe looked up via rcu before release_task is called. All rcu protected\nmembers of task_struct are freed by release_task.\n\nTherefore we can move call_rcu from put_task_struct into release_task. And\nwe can modify release_task to not immediately release the reference count\nbut instead have it call put_task_struct from the function it gives to\ncall_rcu.\n\nThe end result:\n\n- get_task_struct is safe in an rcu context where we have just looked\n up the task.\n\n- put_task_struct() simplifies into its old pre rcu self.\n\nThis reorganization also makes put_task_struct uncallable from modules as\nit is not exported but it does not appear to be called from any modules so\nthis should not be an issue, and is trivially fixed.\n\nSigned-off-by: Eric W.

Things which would require two or three syscalls with\n fadvise() can be done in a single syscall.\n\n- Using fadvise() in this manner is something not covered by POSIX.\n\nThe patch wires up the syscall for x86.\n\nThe sycall is implemented in the new fs/sync.c. The intention is that we can\nmove sys_fsync(), sys_fdatasync() and perhaps sys_sync() into there later.\n\nDocumentation for the syscall is in fs/sync.c.\n\nA test app (sync_file_range.c) is in\nhttp://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/ext3-tools.tar.gz.\n\nThe available-to-GPL-modules do_sync_file_range() is for knfsd: \"A COMMIT can\nsay NFS_DATA_SYNC or NFS_FILE_SYNC. I can skip the -\u003efsync call for\nNFS_DATA_SYNC which is hopefully the more common.\"\n\nNote: the `async\u0027 writeout mode SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WRITE will turn synchronous if\nthe queue is congested. This is trivial to fix: add a new flag bit, set\nwbc-\u003enonblocking. But I\u0027m not sure that we want to expose implementation\ndetails down to that level.\n\nNote: it\u0027s notable that we can sync an fd which wasn\u0027t opened for writing.\nSame with fsync() and fdatasync()).\n\nNote: the code takes some care to handle attempts to sync file contents\noutside the 16TB offset on 32-bit machines. It makes such attempts appear to\nsucceed, for best 32-bit/64-bit compatibility.

Using the stack is\nfaster than kmalloc. On a Intel P4 system it speeds up a select of a\nsingle pty fd by about 13% (~4000 cycles -\u003e ~3500)\n\nIt also saves memory because a daemon hanging in select or poll will\nusually save one or two less pages. This can add up - e.g. if you have 10\ndaemons blocking in poll/select you save 40KB of memory.\n\nI did a patch for this long ago, but it was never applied. This version is\na reimplementation of the old patch that tries to be less intrusive. I\nonly did the minimal changes needed for the stack allocation.\n\nThe cut off point before external memory is allocated is currently at\n832bytes. The system calls always allocate this much memory on the stack.\n\nThese 832 bytes are divided into 256 bytes frontend data (for the select\nbitmaps of the pollfds) and the rest of the space for the wait queues used\nby the low level drivers. There are some extreme cases where this won\u0027t\nwork out for select and it falls back to allocating memory too early -\nespecially with very sparse large select bitmaps - but the majority of\nprocesses who only have a small number of file descriptors should be ok.\n[TBD: 832/256 might not be the best split for select or poll]\n\nI suspect more optimizations might be possible, but they would be more\ncomplicated. One way would be to cache the select/poll context over\nmultiple system calls because typically the input values should be similar.\n Problem is when to flush the file descriptors out though.\n\nSigned-off-by: Andi Kleen \u003cak@suse.de\u003e\nCc: Eric Dumazet \u003cdada1@cosmosbay.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@osdl.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@osdl.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "d266ab88938e49aa95f1965ee020df1b1d4c5761", "tree": "b31fff6d3f9d2008f4672b21c7f37c9e91888043", "parents": [ "9edc91df07a227dbde9f98ee1097f554130993dc" ], "author": { "name": "Alan Cox", "email": "alan@lxorguk.ukuu.org.uk", "time": "Tue Mar 28 01:56:31 2006 -0800" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@g5.osdl.org", "time": "Tue Mar 28 09:16:04 2006 -0800" }, "message": "[PATCH] Small fixes backported to old IDE SiS driver\n\nSome quick backport bits from the libata PATA work to fix things found in\nthe sis driver.

There is no\nprotection against entries being added to or removed from a chain while the\nchain is in use. The issues were discussed in this thread:\n\n http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l\u003dlinux-kernel\u0026m\u003d113018709002036\u0026w\u003d2\n\nWe noticed that notifier chains in the kernel fall into two basic usage\nclasses:\n\n\t\"Blocking\" chains are always called from a process context\n\tand the callout routines are allowed to sleep;\n\n\t\"Atomic\" chains can be called from an atomic context and\n\tthe callout routines are not allowed to sleep.\n\nWe decided to codify this distinction and make it part of the API. Therefore\nthis set of patches introduces three new, parallel APIs: one for blocking\nnotifiers, one for atomic notifiers, and one for \"raw\" notifiers (which is\nreally just the old API under a new name). New kinds of data structures are\nused for the heads of the chains, and new routines are defined for\nregistration, unregistration, and calling a chain. The three APIs are\nexplained in include/linux/notifier.h and their implementation is in\nkernel/sys.c.\n\nWith atomic and blocking chains, the implementation guarantees that the chain\nlinks will not be corrupted and that chain callers will not get messed up by\nentries being added or removed. For raw chains the implementation provides no\nguarantees at all; users of this API must provide their own protections. (The\nidea was that situations may come up where the assumptions of the atomic and\nblocking APIs are not appropriate, so it should be possible for users to\nhandle these things in their own way.)\n\nThere are some limitations, which should not be too hard to live with. For\natomic/blocking chains, registration and unregistration must always be done in\na process context since the chain is protected by a mutex/rwsem. Also, a\ncallout routine for a non-raw chain must not try to register or unregister\nentries on its own chain. (This did happen in a couple of places and the code\nhad to be changed to avoid it.)\n\nSince atomic chains may be called from within an NMI handler, they cannot use\nspinlocks for synchronization. Instead we use RCU. The overhead falls almost\nentirely in the unregister routine, which is okay since unregistration is much\nless frequent that calling a chain.\n\nHere is the list of chains that we adjusted and their classifications. None\nof them use the raw API, so for the moment it is only a placeholder.\n\n ATOMIC CHAINS\n -------------\narch/i386/kernel/traps.c:\t\ti386die_chain\narch/ia64/kernel/traps.c:\t\tia64die_chain\narch/powerpc/kernel/traps.c:\t\tpowerpc_die_chain\narch/sparc64/kernel/traps.c:\t\tsparc64die_chain\narch/x86_64/kernel/traps.c:\t\tdie_chain\ndrivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_intf.c:\txaction_notifier_list\nkernel/panic.c:\t\t\t\tpanic_notifier_list\nkernel/profile.c:\t\t\ttask_free_notifier\nnet/bluetooth/hci_core.c:\t\thci_notifier\nnet/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_core.c:\tip_conntrack_chain\nnet/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_core.c:\tip_conntrack_expect_chain\nnet/ipv6/addrconf.c:\t\t\tinet6addr_chain\nnet/netfilter/nf_conntrack_core.c:\tnf_conntrack_chain\nnet/netfilter/nf_conntrack_core.c:\tnf_conntrack_expect_chain\nnet/netlink/af_netlink.c:\t\tnetlink_chain\n\n BLOCKING CHAINS\n ---------------\narch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/reconfig.c:\tpSeries_reconfig_chain\narch/s390/kernel/process.c:\t\tidle_chain\narch/x86_64/kernel/process.c\t\tidle_notifier\ndrivers/base/memory.c:\t\t\tmemory_chain\ndrivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c\t\tcpufreq_policy_notifier_list\ndrivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c\t\tcpufreq_transition_notifier_list\ndrivers/macintosh/adb.c:\t\tadb_client_list\ndrivers/macintosh/via-pmu.c\t\tsleep_notifier_list\ndrivers/macintosh/via-pmu68k.c\t\tsleep_notifier_list\ndrivers/macintosh/windfarm_core.c\twf_client_list\ndrivers/usb/core/notify.c\t\tusb_notifier_list\ndrivers/video/fbmem.c\t\t\tfb_notifier_list\nkernel/cpu.c\t\t\t\tcpu_chain\nkernel/module.c\t\t\t\tmodule_notify_list\nkernel/profile.c\t\t\tmunmap_notifier\nkernel/profile.c\t\t\ttask_exit_notifier\nkernel/sys.c\t\t\t\treboot_notifier_list\nnet/core/dev.c\t\t\t\tnetdev_chain\nnet/decnet/dn_dev.c:\t\t\tdnaddr_chain\nnet/ipv4/devinet.c:\t\t\tinetaddr_chain\n\nIt\u0027s possible that some of these classifications are wrong.
