commit 9b5b77512dce239fa168183fa71896712232e95a
Author: Srivatsa Vaddagiri
Date: Mon Oct 15 17:00:09 2007 +0200sched: clean up code under CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED
Introduced an assumption of the existence of CPU0 via this line
cfs_rq = tg->cfs_rq[0];
If you have no CPU0, that will be NULL. The fix seems to be just to
take whatever cfs_rq queue comes out of the for_each_possible_cpu()
loop, since they're all equally good for the destruction operation.Signed-off-by: James Bottomley

At the moment, balance_tasks() provides low level functionality for both
move_tasks() and move_one_task() (indirectly) via the load_balance()
function (in the sched_class interface) which also provides dual
functionality. This dual functionality complicates the interfaces and
internal mechanisms and makes the run time overhead of operations that
are called with two run queue locks held.This patch addresses this issue and reduces the overhead of these
operations.Signed-off-by: Peter Williams

A full register dump along with stack backtrace would make the
"scheduling while atomic" message more helpful. Use show_regs() instead
of dump_stack() for this. We already know we're atomic in here (that is
why this function was called) so show_regs()'s atomicity expectations
are guaranteed.Also, modify the output of the "BUG: scheduling while atomic:" header a
bit to keep task->comm and task->pid together and preempt_count() after
them.Signed-off-by: Satyam Sharma

commit 029190c515f15f512ac85de8fc686d4dbd0ae731 (cpuset
sched_load_balance flag) was not tested SCHED_DEBUG enabled as
committed as it dereferences NULL when used and it reordered
the sysctl registration to cause it to never show any domains
or their tunables.Fixes:
1) restore arch_init_sched_domains ordering
we can't walk the domains before we build thempresently we register cpus with empty directories (no domain
directories or files).2) make unregister_sched_domain_sysctl do nothing when already unregistered
detach_destroy_domains is now called one set of cpus at a time
unregister_syctl dereferences NULL if called with a null.While the the function would always dereference null if called
twice, in the previous code it was always called once and then
was followed a register. So only the hidden bug of the
sysctl_root_table not being allocated followed by an attempt to
free it would have shown the error.3) always call unregister and register in partition_sched_domains
The code is "smart" about unregistering only needed domains.
Since we aren't guaranteed any calls to unregister, always
unregister. Without calling register on the way out we
will not have a table or any sysctl tree.4) warn if register is called without unregistering
The previous table memory is lost, leaving pointers to the
later freed memory in sysctl and leaking the memory of the
tables.Before this patch on a 2-core 4-thread box compiled for SMT and NUMA,
the domains appear empty (there are actually 3 levels per cpu). And as
soon as two domains a null pointer is dereferenced (unreliable in this
case is stack garbage):bu19a:~# ls -R /proc/sys/kernel/sched_domain/

As it is some callers of synchronize_irq rely on memory barriers
to provide synchronisation against the IRQ handlers. For example,
the tg3 driver doestp->irq_sync = 1;
smp_mb();
synchronize_irq();and then in the IRQ handler:
if (!tp->irq_sync)
netif_rx_schedule(dev, &tp->napi);Unfortunately memory barriers only work well when they come in
pairs. Because we don't actually have memory barriers on the
IRQ path, the memory barrier before the synchronize_irq() doesn't
actually protect us.In particular, synchronize_irq() may return followed by the
result of netif_rx_schedule being made visible.This patch (mostly written by Linus) fixes this by using spin
locks instead of memory barries on the synchronize_irq() path.Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu

New kind of audit rule predicates: "object is visible in given subtree".
The part that can be sanely implemented, that is. Limitations:
* if you have hardlink from outside of tree, you'd better watch
it too (or just watch the object itself, obviously)
* if you mount something under a watched tree, tell audit
that new chunk should be added to watched subtrees
* if you umount something in a watched tree and it's still mounted
elsewhere, you will get matches on events happening there. New command
tells audit to recalculate the trees, trimming such sources of false
positives.Note that it's _not_ about path - if something mounted in several places
(multiple mount, bindings, different namespaces, etc.), the match does
_not_ depend on which one we are using for access.Signed-off-by: Al Viro
