remove the expired_starving() heuristics from the core scheduler.
CFS does not need it, and this did not really work well in practice
anyway, due to the rq->nr_running multiplier to STARVATION_LIMIT.Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar
-
remove the sleep_type heuristics from the core scheduler - scheduling
policy is implemented in the scheduling-policy modules. (and CFS does
not use this type of sleep-type heuristics)Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar
-
add the new load-calculation methods of CFS.

clean up: move __normal_prio() in head of normal_prio().
no code changed.
Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar
-
cleanup: move dequeue/enqueue_task() to a more logical place, to
not split up __normal_prio()/normal_prio().Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar
-
move resched_task()/resched_cpu() into the 'public interfaces'
section of sched.c, for use by kernel/sched_fair/rt/idletask.cSigned-off-by: Ingo Molnar
-
remove the SleepAVG field from /proc//status, as
with the removal of the sleep-average code this value
no longer makes sense.Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar
-
clean up the rt priority macros, pointed out by Andrew Morton.

-
update the posix-cpu-timers code to use CFS's CPU accounting information.
Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar
-
add rq_clock()/__rq_clock(), a robust wrapper around sched_clock(),
used by CFS. It protects against common type of sched_clock() problems
(caused by hardware): time warps forwards and backwards.Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar
-
add the CFS rq data types to sched.c.
(the old scheduler fields are still intact, they are removed
by a later patch)Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar
-
add the CFS data types to sched.h.
(the old scheduler is still fully intact.)
Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar
-
add kernel/sched_idletask.c - which implements the idle thread
scheduling class. This further simplifies sched.c (under CFS),
for example a number of 'if (p == rq->idle)' type of special-cases
can be removed from sched.c, and schedule() gets simpler too.Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar
-
add kernel/sched_rt.c: SCHED_FIFO/SCHED_RR support. The behavior
and semantics of SCHED_FIFO/SCHED_RR tasks is unchanged.Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar
-
add kernel/sched_fair.c - which implements the bulk of CFS's
behavioral changes for SCHED_OTHER tasks.see Documentation/sched-design-CFS.txt about details.

increase SMP-nice's resolution. This is needed by CFS to
implement SCHED_IDLE and cleaned up nice level support.no behavioral changes.
Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar
-
create sched_stats.h and move sched.c schedstats code into it.
This cleans up sched.c a bit.no code changes are caused by this patch.
Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar
-
add the init_idle_bootup_task() callback to the bootup thread,
unused at the moment. (CFS will use it to switch the scheduling
class of the boot thread to the idle class)Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar
-
add in_atomic_preempt_off() - debugging helper that will
simplify schedule().Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar
-
remove sched_exit(): the elaborate dance of us trying to recover
timeslices given to child tasks never really worked.CFS does not need it either.
Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar
-
uninline set_task_cpu(): CFS will add more code to it.
Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

the SMP load-balancer uses the boot-time migration-cost estimation
code to attempt to improve the quality of balancing. The reason for
this code is that the discrete priority queues do not preserve
the order of scheduling accurately, so the load-balancer skips
tasks that were running on a CPU 'recently'.this code is fundamental fragile: the boot-time migration cost detector
doesnt really work on systems that had large L3 caches, it caused boot
delays on large systems and the whole cache-hot concept made the
balancing code pretty undeterministic as well.(and hey, i wrote most of it, so i can say it out loud that it sucks ;-)
under CFS the same purpose of cache affinity can be achieved without
any special cache-hot special-case: tasks are sorted in the 'timeline'
tree and the SMP balancer picks tasks from the left side of the
tree, thus the most cache-cold task is balanced automatically.Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar
-
this patch adds the SCHED_IDLE policy to sched.h.
Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar
-
enum idle_type (used by the load-balancer) clashes with the
SCHED_IDLE name that we want to introduce. 'CPU_IDLE' instead
of 'SCHED_IDLE' is more descriptive as well.Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

qd65xx: fix PIO mode selection
sis5513: adding PCI-ID -
Commit 1c710c896eb461895d3c399e15bb5f20b39c9073 added the utimensat()
system call, but didn't handle the case of checking for the writability
of the target right, when the target was a file descriptor, not a
filename.We cannot use vfs_permission(MAY_WRITE) for that case, and need to
simply check whether the file descriptor is writable. The oops from
using the wrong function was noticed and narrowed down by Markus
Trippelsdorf.Cc: Ulrich Drepper

Fix a post-2.6.21 regression.
read_cache_page_async() has two invocations of mark_page_accessed() which will
launch pages right onto the active list.Remove the first one, keeping the latter one. This avoids marking unwanted
pages active (in the retry loop).Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra

PIO4 is a maximum PIO mode supported by a driver. Using "255" as a max_mode
argument to ide_get_best_pio_mode() could result in wrong timings being used
by a driver (for "pio" equal to 5) or OOPS (for "pio" values > 5 && < 255).Signed-off-by: Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz

The SiS966 has one additional PCI-ID 1180.
If the chipset is using this PCI-ID, the primary channel is connected to the
first PATA-port. The secondary channel is connected to SATA-ports in IDE
emulation mode. The legacy IO-ports are used.The including of the PCI-ID into pata_sis is not sufficient, because the legacy
driver in drivers/ide is initialized before pata_sis.Signed-off-by: Uwe Koziolek

When cleaning up HIDP sessions, we currently close the ACL connection
before deregistering the input device. Closing the ACL connection
schedules a workqueue to remove the associated objects from sysfs, but
the input device still refers to them -- and if the workqueue happens to
run before the input device removal, the kernel will oops when trying to
look up PHYSDEVPATH for the removed input device.Fix this by deregistering the input device before closing the
connections.Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse
