cpu/hotplug: Remove unused but set variable in _cpu_down()

2017-01-18T10:55:09Z

After the recent removal of the hotplug notifiers the variable 'hasdied' in _cpu_down() is set but no longer read, leading to the following GCC warning when building with 'make W=1': kernel/cpu.c:767:7: warning: variable ‘hasdied’ set but not used [-Wunused-but-set-variable] Fix it by removing the variable.

cpu/hotplug: Provide dynamic range for prepare stage

2017-01-16T12:20:05Z

Mathieu reported that the LTTNG modules are broken as of 4.10-rc1 due to the removal of the cpu hotplug notifiers. Usually I don't care much about out of tree modules, but LTTNG is widely used in distros. There are two ways to solve that: 1) Reserve a hotplug state for LTTNG 2) Add a dynamic range for the prepare states. While #1 is the simplest solution, #2 is the proper one as we can convert in tree users, which do not care about ordering, to the dynamic range as well. Add a dynamic range which allows LTTNG to request states in the prepare stage.

smp/hotplug: Undo tglxs brainfart

The attempt to prevent overwriting an active state resulted in a disaster which effectively disables all dynamically allocated hotplug states. Cleanup the mess.

cpu/hotplug: Remove obsolete cpu hotplug register/unregister functions

2016-12-25T09:47:43Z

hotcpu_notifier(), cpu_notifier(), __hotcpu_notifier(), __cpu_notifier(), register_hotcpu_notifier(), register_cpu_notifier(), __register_hotcpu_notifier(), __register_cpu_notifier(), unregister_hotcpu_notifier(), unregister_cpu_notifier(), __unregister_hotcpu_notifier(), __unregister_cpu_notifier() are unused now. Remove them and all related code. Remove also the now pointless cpu notifier error injection mechanism. The states can be executed step by step and error rollback is the same as cpu down, so any state transition can be tested w/o requiring the notifier error injection. Some CPU hotplug states are kept as they are (ab)used for hotplug state tracking.

cpu/hotplug: Prevent overwriting of callbacks

2016-12-25T09:47:42Z

Developers manage to overwrite states blindly without thought. That's fatal and hard to debug. Add sanity checks to make it fail. This requries to restructure the code so that the dynamic state allocation happens in the same lock protected section as the actual store. Otherwise the previous assignment of 'Reserved' to the name field would trigger the overwrite check.

hotplug: Make register and unregister notifier API symmetric

2016-12-08T09:08:41Z

Yu Zhao has noticed that __unregister_cpu_notifier only unregisters its notifiers when HOTPLUG_CPU=y while the registration might succeed even when HOTPLUG_CPU=n if MODULE is enabled. This means that e.g. zswap might keep a stale notifier on the list on the manual clean up during the pool tear down and thus corrupt the list. Resulting in the following [ 144.964346] BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffff880658a2be78 [ 144.971337] IP: [] raw_notifier_chain_register+0x1b/0x40 [ 145.122628] Call Trace: [ 145.125086] [] __register_cpu_notifier+0x18/0x20 [ 145.131350] [] zswap_pool_create+0x273/0x400 [ 145.137268] [] __zswap_param_set+0x1fc/0x300 [ 145.143188] [] ? trace_hardirqs_on+0xd/0x10 [ 145.149018] [] ? kernel_param_lock+0x28/0x30 [ 145.154940] [] ? __might_fault+0x4f/0xa0 [ 145.160511] [] zswap_compressor_param_set+0x17/0x20 [ 145.167035] [] param_attr_store+0x5c/0xb0 [ 145.172694] [] module_attr_store+0x1d/0x30 [ 145.178443] [] sysfs_kf_write+0x4f/0x70 [ 145.183925] [] kernfs_fop_write+0x149/0x180 [ 145.189761] [] __vfs_write+0x18/0x40 [ 145.194982] [] vfs_write+0xb2/0x1a0 [ 145.200122] [] SyS_write+0x52/0xa0 [ 145.205177] [] entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x12/0x17 This can be even triggered manually by changing /sys/module/zswap/parameters/compressor multiple times.

The block-mq custom list conversion comes through the block tree and makes the diffstat tip over to more lines removed than added. - Handle unbalanced hotplug enable/disable calls more gracefully. - Remove the obsolete CPU_STARTING/DYING notifier support. - Convert another batch of notifier users. The relayfs changes which conflicted with the conversion have been shipped to me by Andrew.
