stop_machine: Mark per cpu stopper enabled early

2013-02-26T21:25:17Z

commit 14e568e78 (stop_machine: Use smpboot threads) introduced the following regression: Before this commit the stopper enabled bit was set in the online notifier. CPU0 CPU1 cpu_up cpu online hotplug_notifier(ONLINE) stopper(CPU1)->enabled = true; ... stop_machine() The conversion to smpboot threads moved the enablement to the wakeup path of the parked thread. The majority of users seem to have the following working order: CPU0 CPU1 cpu_up cpu online unpark_threads() wakeup(stopper[CPU1]) .... stopper thread runs stopper(CPU1)->enabled = true; stop_machine() But Konrad and Sander have observed: CPU0 CPU1 cpu_up cpu online unpark_threads() wakeup(stopper[CPU1]) .... stop_machine() stopper thread runs stopper(CPU1)->enabled = true; Now the stop machinery kicks CPU0 into the stop loop, where it gets stuck forever because the queue code saw stopper(CPU1)->enabled == false, so CPU0 waits for CPU1 to enter stomp_machine, but the CPU1 stopper work got discarded due to enabled == false. Add a pre_unpark function to the smpboot thread descriptor and call it before waking the thread. This fixes the problem at hand, but the stop_machine code should be more robust. The stopper->enabled flag smells fishy at best. Thanks to Konrad for going through a loop of debug patches and providing the information to decode this issue.

stop_machine: Use smpboot threads

2013-02-14T14:29:38Z

Use the smpboot thread infrastructure. Mark the stopper thread selfparking and park it after it has finished the take_cpu_down() work.

stop_machine: Store task reference in a separate per cpu variable

stop_machine: make stop_machine safe and efficient to call early

2011-11-01T00:30:53Z

Make stop_machine() safe to call early in boot, before SMP has been set up, by simply calling the callback function directly if there's only one CPU online. [ Fixes from AKPM: - add comment - local_irq_flags, not save_flags - also call hard_irq_disable() for systems which need it Tejun suggested using an explicit flag rather than just looking at the online cpu count. ] Cc: Tejun Heo Acked-by: Rusty Russell Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: H.

kernel: Map most files to use export.h instead of module.h

2011-10-31T13:20:12Z

The changed files were only including linux/module.h for the EXPORT_SYMBOL infrastructure, and nothing else. Revector them onto the isolated export header for faster compile times. Nothing to see here but a whole lot of instances of: -#include +#include This commit is only changing the kernel dir; next targets will probably be mm, fs, the arch dirs, etc. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker

x86, mtrr: use stop_machine APIs for doing MTRR rendezvous

2011-06-27T22:17:13Z

MTRR rendezvous sequence is not implemened using stop_machine() before, as this gets called both from the process context aswell as the cpu online paths (where the cpu has not come online and the interrupts are disabled etc). Now that we have a new stop_machine_from_inactive_cpu() API, use it for rendezvous during mtrr init of a logical processor that is coming online. For the rest (runtime MTRR modification, system boot, resume paths), use stop_machine() to implement the rendezvous sequence. This will consolidate and cleanup the code.

stop_machine: implement stop_machine_from_inactive_cpu()

2011-06-27T22:17:08Z

Currently, mtrr wants stop_machine functionality while a CPU is being brought up. As stop_machine() requires the calling CPU to be active, mtrr implements its own stop_machine using stop_one_cpu() on each online CPU. This doesn't only unnecessarily duplicate complex logic but also introduces a possibility of deadlock when it races against the generic stop_machine(). This patch implements stop_machine_from_inactive_cpu() to serve such use cases. Its functionality is basically the same as stop_machine(); however, it should be called from a CPU which isn't active and doesn't depend on working scheduling on the calling CPU. This is achieved by using busy loops for synchronization and open-coding stop_cpus queuing and waiting with direct invocation of fn() for local CPU inbetween.

stop_machine: reorganize stop_cpus() implementation

2011-06-27T22:17:07Z

Refactor the queuing part of the stop cpus work from __stop_cpus() into queue_stop_cpus_work(). The reorganization is to help future improvements to stop_machine() and doesn't introduce any behavior difference.
