locking/rtmutex: Remove unnecessary priority adjustment

2017-07-13T09:44:06Z

We don't need to adjust priority before adding a new pi_waiter, the priority only needs to be updated after pi_waiter change or task priority change. Steven Rostedt pointed out: "Interesting, I did some git mining and this was added with the original entry of the rtmutex.c (23f78d4a03c5). Looking at even that version, I don't see the purpose of adjusting the task prio here. It is done before anything changes in the task."

locking/qspinlock: Explicitly include asm/prefetch.h

2017-07-08T09:01:11Z

In architectures that use qspinlock, like x86, prefetch is loaded indirectly via the asm/qspinlock.h include. On other architectures, like OpenRISC, which may want to use asm-generic/qspinlock.h the built will fail without the asm/prefetch.h include. Fix this by including directly.

mm: update callers to use HASH_ZERO flag

2017-07-06T23:24:33Z

Update dcache, inode, pid, mountpoint, and mount hash tables to use HASH_ZERO, and remove initialization after allocations. In case of places where HASH_EARLY was used such as in __pv_init_lock_hash the zeroed hash table was already assumed, because memblock zeroes the memory.

locking/rwsem-spinlock: Fix EINTR branch in __down_write_common()

2017-07-05T10:26:29Z

If a writer could been woken up, the above branch if (sem->count == 0) break; would have moved us to taking the sem. So, it's not the time to wake a writer now, and only readers are allowed now. Thus, 0 must be passed to __rwsem_do_wake(). Next, __rwsem_do_wake() wakes readers unconditionally. But we mustn't do that if the sem is owned by writer in the moment. Otherwise, writer and reader own the sem the same time, which leads to memory corruption in callers. rwsem-xadd.c does not need that, as: 1) the similar check is made lockless there, 2) in __rwsem_mark_wake::try_reader_grant we test, that sem is not owned by writer.

locking/rtmutex: Don't initialize lockdep when not required

2017-06-20T09:53:09Z

pi_mutex isn't supposed to be tracked by lockdep, but just passing NULLs for name and key will cause lockdep to spew a warning and die, which is not what we want it to do. Skip lockdep initialization if the caller passed NULLs for name and key, suggesting such initialization isn't desired.
