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

workqueue: lock cwq access in drain_workqueue

2011-09-15T01:09:38Z

Take cwq->gcwq->lock to avoid racing between drain_workqueue checking to make sure the workqueues are empty and cwq_dec_nr_in_flight decrementing and then incrementing nr_active when it activates a delayed work. We discovered this when a corner case in one of our drivers resulted in us trying to destroy a workqueue in which the remaining work would always requeue itself again in the same workqueue. We would hit this race condition and trip the BUG_ON on workqueue.c:3080. Signed-off-by: Thomas Tuttle Acked-by: Tejun Heo Cc: Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

workqueue: separate out drain_workqueue() from destroy_workqueue()

2011-05-20T11:54:46Z

There are users which want to drain workqueues without destroying it. Separate out drain functionality from destroy_workqueue() into drain_workqueue() and make it accessible to workqueue users. To guarantee forward-progress, only chain queueing is allowed while drain is in progress. If a new work item which isn't chained from the running or pending work items is queued while draining is in progress, WARN_ON_ONCE() is triggered. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo Cc: James Bottomley

workqueue: fix deadlock in worker_maybe_bind_and_lock()

2011-04-29T16:08:37Z

If a rescuer and stop_machine() bringing down a CPU race with each other, they may deadlock on non-preemptive kernel. The CPU won't accept a new task, so the rescuer can't migrate to the target CPU, while stop_machine() can't proceed because the rescuer is holding one of the CPU retrying migration. GCWQ_DISASSOCIATED is never cleared and worker_maybe_bind_and_lock() retries indefinitely. This problem can be reproduced semi reliably while the system is entering suspend. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1122051 A lot of kudos to Thilo-Alexander for reporting this tricky issue and painstaking testing. stable: This affects all kernels with cmwq, so all kernels since and including v2.6.36 need this fix.

percpu: Always align percpu output section to PAGE_SIZE

2011-03-24T17:50:09Z

Percpu allocator honors alignment request upto PAGE_SIZE and both the percpu addresses in the percpu address space and the translated kernel addresses should be aligned accordingly. The calculation of the former depends on the alignment of percpu output section in the kernel image. The linker script macros PERCPU_VADDR() and PERCPU() are used to define this output section and the latter takes @align parameter. Several architectures are using @align smaller than PAGE_SIZE breaking percpu memory alignment. This patch removes @align parameter from PERCPU(), renames it to PERCPU_SECTION() and makes it always align to PAGE_SIZE. While at it, add PCPU_SETUP_BUG_ON() checks such that alignment problems are reliably detected and remove percpu alignment comment recently added in workqueue.c as the condition would trigger BUG way before reaching there. For um, this patch raises the alignment of percpu area. As the area is in .init, there shouldn't be any noticeable difference. This problem was discovered by David Howells while debugging boot failure on mn10300.

debugobjects: Add hint for better object identification

2011-03-08T15:10:38Z

In complex subsystems like mac80211 structures can contain several timers and work structs, so identifying a specific instance from the call trace and object type output of debugobjects can be hard. Allow the subsystems which support debugobjects to provide a hint function. This function returns a pointer to a kernel address (preferrably the objects callback function) which is printed along with the debugobjects type. Add hint methods for timer_list, work_struct and hrtimer.
