  • Since (e761b77: cpu hotplug, sched: Introduce cpu_active_map and redo
    sched domain managment) we have cpu_active_mask which is suppose to rule
    scheduler migration and load-balancing, except it never (fully) did.

    The particular problem being solved here is a crash in try_to_wake_up()
    where select_task_rq() ends up selecting an offline cpu because
    select_task_rq_fair() trusts the sched_domain tree to reflect the
    current state of affairs, similarly select_task_rq_rt() trusts the
    root_domain.

    However, the sched_domains are updated from CPU_DEAD, which is after the
    cpu is taken offline and after stop_machine is done. Therefore it can
    race perfectly well with code assuming the domains are right.

    Cure this by building the domains from cpu_active_mask on
    CPU_DOWN_PREPARE.

  • Commit acc3f5d7cabbfd6cec71f0c1f9900621fa2d6ae7 ("cpumask:
    Partition_sched_domains takes array of cpumask_var_t") changed
    the function signature of generate_sched_domains() for the
    CONFIG_SMP=y case, but forgot to update the corresponding
    function for the CONFIG_SMP=n case, causing:

  • Starting with version 4.5, GCC has a new built-in function
    __builtin_unreachable() that can be used in places like the kernel's
    BUG() where inline assembly is used to transfer control flow. This
    eliminated the need for an endless loop in these places.

    The patch adds a new macro 'unreachable()' that will expand to either
    __builtin_unreachable() or an endless loop depending on the compiler
    version.

    Change from v1: Simplify unreachable() for non-GCC 4.5 case.

  • The x86 lapic nmi watchdog does not recognize AMD Family 11h,
    resulting in:

    NMI watchdog: CPU not supported

    As far as I can see from available documentation (the BKDM),
    family 11h looks identical to family 10h as far as the PMU
    is concerned.

    Extending the check to accept family 11h results in:

    Testing NMI watchdog ... OK.

    I've been running with this change on a Turion X2 Ultra ZM-82
    laptop for a couple of weeks now without problems.

  • This patch fixes some ref counting issues. Firstly by moving
    the point at which we drop the ref count after a dlm lock
    operation has completed we ensure that we never call
    gfs2_glock_hold() on a lock with a zero ref count.

    Secondly, by using atomic_dec_and_lock() in gfs2_glock_put()
    we ensure that at no time will a glock with zero ref count
    appear on the lru_list. That means that we can remove the
    check for this in our shrinker (which was racy).

  • When a gfs2 filesystem is grown, it needs to rebuild the rindex list to be able
    to use the new space. gfs2 does this when the rindex is marked not uptodate,
    which happens when the rindex glock is dropped. However, on a single node
    setup, there is never any reason to drop the rindex glock, so gfs2 never
    invalidates the the rindex. This patch makes gfs2 automatically drop the
    rindex glock after filesystem grows, so it can refresh the rindex list.

  • There are two spare field in the header common to all GFS2
    metadata. One is just the right size to fit a journal id
    in it, and this patch updates the journal code so that each
    time a metadata block is modified, we tag it with the journal
    id of the node which is performing the modification.

    The reason for this is that it should make it much easier to
    debug issues which arise if we can tell which node was the
    last to modify a particular metadata block.

    Since the field is updated before the block is written into
    the journal, each journal should only contain metadata which
    is tagged with its own journal id. The one exception to this
    is the journal header block, which might have a different node's
    id in it, if that journal was recovered by another node in the
    cluster.

    Thus each journal will contain a record of which nodes recovered
    it, via the journal header.

    The other field in the metadata header could potentially be
    used to hold information about what kind of operation was
    performed, but for the time being we just zero it on each
    transaction so that if we use it for that in future, we'll
    know that the information (where it exists) is reliable.

    I did consider using the other field to hold the journal
    sequence number, however since in GFS2's journaling we write
    the modified data into the journal and not the original
    data, this gives no information as to what action caused the
    modification, so I think we can probably come up with a better
    use for those 64 bits in the future.

  • In some cases we already have the rindex lock when
    we enter this function.

  • This function only had one caller left, and that caller only
    called it for leaf blocks, hence one branch of the "if" was
    never taken. In addition the call to get_left had already
    verified the metadata type, so the function can be reduced
    to a single line of code in its caller.

  • Since the default is barriers on, this only displays the
    nobarrier option when that is active.

  • Currently gfs2 issues barrier unconditionally. There are various reasons
    to disable them, be that just for testing or for stupid devices flushing
    large battert backed caches. Add a nobarrier option that matches xfs and
    btrfs for this. Also add a symmetric barrier option to turn it back on
    at remount time.

  • It's not necessary to do any 64bit division for the statfs sync code, so
    remove it.
