[PATCH] Cpuset: fix ABBA deadlock with cpu hotplug lock
Fix ABBA deadlock between lock_cpu_hotplug() and the cpuset
callback_mutex lock.
It only happens on cpu_exclusive cpusets, due to the dynamic
sched domain code trying to take the cpu hotplug lock inside
the cpuset callback_mutex lock.
This bug has apparently been here for several months, but didn't
get hit until the right customer load on a large system.
This fix appears right from inspection, but it will take a few
more days running it on that customers workload to be confident
we nailed it. We don't have any other reproducible test case.
The cpu_hotplug_lock() tends to cover large runs of code.
The other places that hold both that lock and the cpuset callback
mutex lock always nest the cpuset lock inside the hotplug lock.
This place tries to do the reverse, risking an ABBA deadlock.
This is in the cpuset_rmdir() code, where we:
* take the callback_mutex lock
* mark the cpuset CS_REMOVED
* call update_cpu_domains for cpu_exclusive cpusets
* in that call, take the cpu_hotplug lock if the
cpuset is marked for removal.
Thanks to Jack Steiner for identifying this deadlock.
The fix is to tear down the dynamic sched domain before we grab
the cpuset callback_mutex lock. This way, the two locks are
serialized, with the hotplug lock taken and released before
trying for the cpuset lock.
I suspect that this bug was introduced when I changed the
cpuset locking from one lock to two. The dynamic sched domain
dependency on cpu_exclusive cpusets and its hotplug hooks were
added to this code earlier, when cpusets had only a single lock.
It may well have been fine then.

cpu hotplug: simplify and hopefully fix locking
The CPU hotplug locking was quite messy, with a recursive lock to
handle the fact that both the actual up/down sequence wanted to
protect itself from being re-entered, but the callbacks that it
called also tended to want to protect themselves from CPU events.
This splits the lock into two (one to serialize the whole hotplug
sequence, the other to protect against the CPU present bitmaps
changing). The latter still allows recursive usage because some
subsystems (ondemand policy for cpufreq at least) had already gotten
too used to the lax locking, but the locking mistakes are hopefully
now less fundamental, and we now warn about recursive lock usage
when we see it, in the hope that it can be fixed.

Update to do the following once (not once per port) at boot:
read 16-bit PCS
if needs changing,
write 16-bit PCS

[PATCH] Remove down_write() from taskstats code invoked on the exit() path
In send_cpu_listeners(), which is called on the exit path, a down_write()
was protecting operations like skb_clone() and genlmsg_unicast() that do
GFP_KERNEL allocations. If the oom-killer decides to kill tasks to satisfy
the allocations,the exit of those tasks could block on the same semphore.
The down_write() was only needed to allow removal of invalid listeners from
the listener list. The patch converts the down_write to a down_read and
defers the removal to a separate critical region. This ensures that even
if the oom-killer is called, no other task's exit is blocked as it can
still acquire another down_read.

pitfalls, and to Chandra Seetharaman for suggesting this fix instead of
using something more complex like RCU.

[PATCH] per-task delay accounting taskstats interface: control exit data through cpumasks
On systems with a large number of cpus, with even a modest rate of tasks
exiting per cpu, the volume of taskstats data sent on thread exit can
overflow a userspace listener's buffers.
One approach to avoiding overflow is to allow listeners to get data for a
limited and specific set of cpus. By scaling the number of listeners
and/or the cpus they monitor, userspace can handle the statistical data
overload more gracefully.
In this patch, each listener registers to listen to a specific set of cpus
by specifying a cpumask. The interest is recorded per-cpu. When a task
exits on a cpu, its taskstats data is unicast to each listener interested
in that cpu.
Thanks to Andrew Morton for pointing out the various scalability and
general concerns of previous attempts and for suggesting this design.

Don't send taskstats (per-pid or per-tgid) on thread exit when no one is

Currently the taskstats interface allocates a structure, fills it in and
calls netlink to send out per-pid and per-tgid stats regardless of whether
a userspace listener for the data exists (netlink layer would check for

[PATCH] delay accounting taskstats interface send tgid once
Send per-tgid data only once during exit of a thread group instead of once
with each member thread exit.
Currently, when a thread exits, besides its per-tid data, the per-tgid data
of its thread group is also sent out, if its thread group is non-empty.
The per-tgid data sent consists of the sum of per-tid stats for all
*remaining* threads of the thread group.
This patch modifies this sending in two ways:
- the per-tgid data is sent only when the last thread of a thread group
exits. This cuts down heavily on the overhead of sending/receiving
per-tgid data, especially when other exploiters of the taskstats
interface aren't interested in per-tgid stats
- the semantics of the per-tgid data sent are changed. Instead of being
the sum of per-tid data for remaining threads, the value now sent is the
true total accumalated statistics for all threads that are/were part of
the thread group.
The patch also addresses a minor issue where failure of one accounting
subsystem to fill in the taskstats structure was causing the send of
taskstats to not be sent at all.
The patch has been tested for stability and run cerberus for over 4 hours
on an SMP.

[PATCH] per-task-delay-accounting: /proc export of aggregated block I/O delays
Export I/O delays seen by a task through /proc/<tgid>/stats for use in top
etc.
Note that delays for I/O done for swapping in pages (swapin I/O) is clubbed
together with all other I/O here (this is not the case in the netlink
interface where the swapin I/O is kept distinct)
