| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This reverts commit e59fb3120becfb36b22ddb8bd27d065d3cdca499. This reversion was due to (extreme) boot-time slowdowns on SPARC seen by Yinghai Lu and on x86 by Ingo . This is a non-trivial reversion due to intervening commits.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit adds an indication of the state of the callback queue using a string of four characters following the "ql=" integer queue length. The first character is "N" if there are callbacks that have been queued that are not yet ready to be handled by the next grace period, or "." otherwise. The second character is "R" if there are callbacks queued that are ready to be handled by the next grace period, or "." otherwise. The third character is "W" if there are callbacks waiting for the current grace period, or "." otherwise. Finally, the fourth character is "D" if there are callbacks that have been handled by a prior grace period and are waiting to be invoked, or ".". Note that callbacks that are in the process of being invoked are not shown. These callbacks would have been removed from the rcu_data structure's list by rcu_do_batch() prior to being executed. (These callbacks are also not reflected in the "ql=" total, FWIW.) Also, document the new callback-queue trace information. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

| * rcu: move TREE_RCU from softirq to kthreadPaul E. McKenney2011-05-051-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If RCU priority boosting is to be meaningful, callback invocation must be boosted in addition to preempted RCU readers. Otherwise, in presence of CPU real-time threads, the grace period ends, but the callbacks don't get invoked. If the callbacks don't get invoked, the associated memory doesn't get freed, so the system is still subject to OOM. But it is not reasonable to priority-boost RCU_SOFTIRQ, so this commit moves the callback invocations to a kthread, which can be boosted easily. Also add comments and properly synchronized all accesses to rcu_cpu_kthread_task, as suggested by Lai Jiangshan. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paul.mckenney@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit d09b62d fixed grace-period synchronization, but left some smp_mb() invocations in rcu_process_callbacks() that are no longer needed, but sheer paranoia prevented them from being removed. This commit removes them and provides a proof of correctness in their absence. It also adds a memory barrier to rcu_report_qs_rsp() immediately before the update to rsp->completed in order to handle the theoretical possibility that the compiler or CPU might move massive quantities of code into a lock-based critical section. This also proves that the sheer paranoia was not entirely unjustified, at least from a theoretical point of view. In addition, the old dyntick-idle synchronization depended on the fact that grace periods were many milliseconds in duration, so that it could be assumed that no dyntick-idle CPU could reorder a memory reference across an entire grace period. Unfortunately for this design, the addition of expedited grace periods breaks this assumption, which has the unfortunate side-effect of requiring atomic operations in the functions that track dyntick-idle state for RCU. (There is some hope that the algorithms used in user-level RCU might be applied here, but some work is required to handle the NMIs that user-space applications can happily ignore. For the short term, better safe than sorry.) This proof assumes that neither compiler nor CPU will allow a lock acquisition and release to be reordered, as doing so can result in deadlock. The proof is as follows: 1. A given CPU declares a quiescent state under the protection of its leaf rcu_node's lock. 2. If there is more than one level of rcu_node hierarchy, the last CPU to declare a quiescent state will also acquire the ->lock of the next rcu_node up in the hierarchy, but only after releasing the lower level's lock. The acquisition of this lock clearly cannot occur prior to the acquisition of the leaf node's lock. 3. Step 2 repeats until we reach the root rcu_node structure. Please note again that only one lock is held at a time through this process. The acquisition of the root rcu_node's ->lock must occur after the release of that of the leaf rcu_node. 4. At this point, we set the ->completed field in the rcu_state structure in rcu_report_qs_rsp(). However, if the rcu_node hierarchy contains only one rcu_node, then in theory the code preceding the quiescent state could leak into the critical section. We therefore precede the update of ->completed with a memory barrier. All CPUs will therefore agree that any updates preceding any report of a quiescent state will have happened before the update of ->completed. 5. Regardless of whether a new grace period is needed, rcu_start_gp() will propagate the new value of ->completed to all of the leaf rcu_node structures, under the protection of each rcu_node's ->lock. If a new grace period is needed immediately, this propagation will occur in the same critical section that ->completed was set in, but courtesy of the memory barrier in #4 above, is still seen to follow any pre-quiescent-state activity. 6. When a given CPU invokes __rcu_process_gp_end(), it becomes aware of the end of the old grace period and therefore makes any RCU callbacks that were waiting on that grace period eligible for invocation. If this CPU is the same one that detected the end of the grace period, and if there is but a single rcu_node in the hierarchy, we will still be in the single critical section. In this case, the memory barrier in step #4 guarantees that all callbacks will be seen to execute after each CPU's quiescent state. On the other hand, if this is a different CPU, it will acquire the leaf rcu_node's ->lock, and will again be serialized after each CPU's quiescent state for the old grace period. On the strength of this proof, this commit therefore removes the memory barriers from rcu_process_callbacks() and adds one to rcu_report_qs_rsp(). The effect is to reduce the number of memory barriers by one and to reduce the frequency of execution from about once per scheduling tick per CPU to once per grace period. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

| * rcu: Remove conditional compilation for RCU CPU stall warningsPaul E. McKenney2011-05-052-11/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The RCU CPU stall warnings can now be controlled using the rcu_cpu_stall_suppress boot-time parameter or via the same parameter from sysfs. There is therefore no longer any reason to have kernel config parameters for this feature. This commit therefore removes the RCU_CPU_STALL_DETECTOR and RCU_CPU_STALL_DETECTOR_RUNNABLE kernel config parameters. The RCU_CPU_STALL_TIMEOUT parameter remains to allow the timeout to be tuned and the RCU_CPU_STALL_VERBOSE parameter remains to allow task-stall information to be suppressed if desired.

This is the case, because the drivers' .freeze() callbacks are executed after the hibernate memory preallocation has been carried out and the preallocated amount of memory may be too small to cover the new driver allocations. Unfortunately, the drivers' .prepare() callbacks also are executed after the hibernate memory preallocation has completed, so they are not suitable for allocating additional memory either. Thus the only way a driver can safely allocate memory during hibernation is to use a hibernate/suspend notifier. However, the notifiers are called before the freezing of user space and the drivers wanting to use them for allocating additional memory may not know how much memory needs to be allocated at that point. To let device drivers overcome this difficulty rework the hibernation sequence so that the memory preallocation is carried out after the drivers' .prepare() callbacks have been executed, so that the .prepare() callbacks can be used for allocating additional memory to be used by the drivers' .freeze() callbacks. Update documentation to match the new behavior of the code. Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl>

It turns out that the amount of memory allocated by radeon during hibernation (and presumably during system suspend too) depends on the utilization of the GPU (e.g. hibernating while there are two KDE 4 sessions with compositing enabled causes radeon to allocate more memory than for one KDE 4 session). In principle it should be possible to use image_size to make the memory preallocation mechanism free enough memory for the radeon driver, but in practice it is not easy to guess the right value because of the way the preallocation code uses image_size. For this reason, it seems reasonable to allow users to control the amount of memory reserved for driver allocations made after the hibernate preallocation, which currently is constant and amounts to 1 MB. Introduce a new sysfs file, /sys/power/reserved_size, whose value will be used as the amount of memory to reserve for the post-preallocation reservations made by device drivers, in bytes. For backwards compatibility, set its default (and initial) value to the currently used number (1 MB).

This swaps over to the API that folks apparently need.

And since cdec2e42(memcg: coalesce charging via percpu storage), we have percpu cache for res_counter. These changes improved performance of memory cgroup very much, but made res_counter->usage usually have a bigger value than the actual value of memory usage. So, *.usage_in_bytes, which show res_counter->usage, are not desirable for precise values of memory(and swap) usage anymore. Instead of removing these files completely(because we cannot know res_counter->usage without them), this patch updates the meaning of those files.
