As noted earlier, the following sequence of events can occur when
running PREEMPT_RCU and HOTPLUG_CPU on a system with a multi-level
rcu_node combining tree:
1. A group of tasks block on CPUs corresponding to a given leaf
rcu_node structure while within RCU read-side critical sections.
2. All CPUs corrsponding to that rcu_node structure go offline.
3. The next grace period starts, but because there are still tasks
blocked, the upper-level bits corresponding to this leaf rcu_node
structure remain set.
4. All the tasks exit their RCU read-side critical sections and
remove themselves from the leaf rcu_node structure's list,
leaving it empty.
5. But because there now is code to check for this condition at
force-quiescent-state time, the upper bits are cleared and the
grace period completes.
However, there is another complication that can occur following step 4 above:
4a. The grace period starts, and the leaf rcu_node structure's
gp_tasks pointer is set to NULL because there are no tasks
blocked on this structure.
4b. One of the CPUs corresponding to the leaf rcu_node structure
comes back online.
4b. An endless stream of tasks are preempted within RCU read-side
critical sections on this CPU, such that the ->blkd_tasks
list is always non-empty.
The grace period will never end.
This commit therefore makes the force-quiescent-state processing check only
for absence of tasks blocking the current grace period rather than absence
of tasks altogether. This will cause a quiescent state to be reported if
the current leaf rcu_node structure is not blocking the current grace period
and its parent thinks that it is, regardless of how RCU managed to get
itself into this state.

This commit informs RCU of an outgoing CPU just before that CPU invokes
arch_cpu_idle_dead() during its last pass through the idle loop (via a
new CPU_DYING_IDLE notifier value). This change means that RCU need not
deal with outgoing CPUs passing through the scheduler after informing
RCU that they are no longer online. Note that removing the CPU from
the rcu_node ->qsmaskinit bit masks is done at CPU_DYING_IDLE time,
and orphaning callbacks is still done at CPU_DEAD time, the reason being
that at CPU_DEAD time we have another CPU that can adopt them.

This commit uses a per-CPU variable to make the CPU-offline code path
through the idle loop more precise, so that the outgoing CPU is
guaranteed to make it into the idle loop before it is powered off.
This commit is in preparation for putting the RCU offline-handling
code on this code path, which will eliminate the magic one-jiffy
wait that RCU uses as the maximum time for an outgoing CPU to get
all the way through the scheduler.
The magic one-jiffy wait for incoming CPUs remains a separate issue.

Because that RCU grace-period initialization need no longer exclude
CPU-hotplug operations, this commit eliminates the ->onoff_mutex and
its uses.
Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
Races between CPU hotplug and grace periods can be difficult to resolve,
so the ->onoff_mutex is used to exclude the two events. Unfortunately,
this means that it is impossible for an outgoing CPU to perform the
last bits of its offlining from its last pass through the idle loop,
because sleeplocks cannot be acquired in that context.
This commit avoids these problems by buffering online and offline events
in a new ->qsmaskinitnext field in the leaf rcu_node structures. When a
grace period starts, the events accumulated in this mask are applied to
the ->qsmaskinit field, and, if needed, up the rcu_node tree. The special
case of all CPUs corresponding to a given leaf rcu_node structure being
offline while there are still elements in that structure's ->blkd_tasks
list is handled using a new ->wait_blkd_tasks field. In this case,
propagating the offline bits up the tree is deferred until the beginning
of the grace period after all of the tasks have exited their RCU read-side
critical sections and removed themselves from the list, at which point
the ->wait_blkd_tasks flag is cleared. If one of that leaf rcu_node
structure's CPUs comes back online before the list empties, then the
->wait_blkd_tasks flag is simply cleared.
This of course means that RCU's notion of which CPUs are offline can be
out of date. This is OK because RCU need only wait on CPUs that were
online at the time that the grace period started. In addition, RCU's
force-quiescent-state actions will handle the case where a CPU goes
offline after the grace period starts.

The rcu_report_unblock_qs_rnp() function is invoked when the
last task blocking the current grace period exits its outermost
RCU read-side critical section. Previously, this was called only
from rcu_read_unlock_special(), and was therefore defined only when
CONFIG_RCU_PREEMPT=y. However, this function will be invoked even when
CONFIG_RCU_PREEMPT=n once CPU-hotplug operations are processed only at
the beginnings of RCU grace periods. The reason for this change is that
the last task on a given leaf rcu_node structure's ->blkd_tasks list
might well exit its RCU read-side critical section between the time that
recent CPU-hotplug operations were applied and when the new grace period
was initialized. This situation could result in RCU waiting forever on
that leaf rcu_node structure, because if all that structure's CPUs were
already offline, there would be no quiescent-state events to drive that
structure's part of the grace period.
This commit therefore moves rcu_report_unblock_qs_rnp() to common code
that is built unconditionally so that the quiescent-state-forcing code
can clean up after this situation, avoiding the grace-period stall.

Currently, the rcu_node tree ->expmask bitmasks are initially set to
reflect the online CPUs. This is pointless, because only the CPUs
preempted within RCU read-side critical sections by the preceding
synchronize_sched_expedited() need to be tracked. This commit therefore
instead sets up these bitmasks based on the state of the ->blkd_tasks
lists.

Grace-period initialization normally proceeds quite quickly, so
that it is very difficult to reproduce races against grace-period

race-reproduction probability. A pair of new Kconfig parameters are
provided, CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_INIT to enable the slowdowns, and
CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_INIT_DELAY to specify the number of jiffies
of slowdown to apply. A boot-time parameter named rcutree.gp_init_delay
allows boot-time delay to be specified. By default, no delay will be
applied even if CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_INIT is set.

If all CPUs have passed through quiescent states, then stalls might be
due to starvation of the grace-period kthread or to failure to propagate

Currently, both rcu_cleanup_dead_cpu() and rcu_send_cbs_to_orphanage()
initialize the outgoing CPU's callback list. However, only
rcu_cleanup_dead_cpu() invokes rcu_send_cbs_to_orphanage(), and
it does so unconditionally, which means that only one of these
initializations is required. This commit therefore consolidates the
callback-list initialization with the rest of the callback handling in
rcu_send_cbs_to_orphanage().

This commit removes the open-coded CPU-offline notification with new

code using RCU from an offline CPU that RCU is ignoring. It also allows
Xen to notice at online time that the CPU did not go offline correctly.
Note that Xen has the surviving CPU carry out some cleanup operations,
so if the surviving CPU times out, these cleanup operations might have
been carried out while the outgoing CPU was still running. It might
therefore be unwise to bring this CPU back online, and this commit

RCU ignores offlined CPUs, so they cannot safely run RCU read-side code.
(They -can- use SRCU, but not RCU.) This means that any use of RCU
during or after the call to arch_cpu_idle_dead(). Unfortunately,
commit 2ed53c0d6c added a complete() call, which will contain RCU
read-side critical sections if there is a task waiting to be awakened.
Which, as it turns out, there almost never is. In my qemu/KVM testing,
the to-be-awakened task is not yet asleep more than 99.5% of the time.
In current mainline, failure is even harder to reproduce, requiring a
virtualized environment that delays the outgoing CPU by at least three
jiffies between the time it exits its stop_machine() task at CPU_DYING
time and the time it calls arch_cpu_idle_dead() from the idle loop.
However, this problem really can occur, especially in virtualized
environments, and therefore really does need to be fixed
This suggests moving back to the polling loop, but using a much shorter
wait, with gentle exponential backoff instead of the old 100-millisecond
wait. Most of the time, the loop will exit without waiting at all,
and almost all of the remaining uses will wait only five microseconds.
If the outgoing CPU is preempted, a loop will wait one jiffy, then
increase the wait by a factor of 11/10ths, rounding up. As before, there
is a five-second timeout.
This commit therefore provides common-code infrastructure to do the
dying-to-surviving CPU handoff in a safe manner. This code also
provides an indication at CPU-online of whether the CPU to be onlined
previously timed out on offline. The new cpu_check_up_prepare() function
returns -EBUSY if this CPU previously took more than five seconds to
go offline, or -EAGAIN if it has not yet managed to go offline. The
rationale for -EAGAIN is that it might still be preempted, so an additional
wait might well find it correctly offlined. Architecture-specific code
can decide how to handle these conditions. Systems in which CPUs take
themselves completely offline might respond to an -EBUSY return as if
it was a zero (success) return. Systems in which the surviving CPU must
take some action might take it at this time, or might simply mark the
other CPU as unusable.
Note that architectures that take the easy way out and simply pass the
-EBUSY and -EAGAIN upwards will change the sysfs API.

In contrast, "v4.0" beat out "v3.20" by a slimmer margin of 56-to-44%,
but with a total of 29,110 votes right now.
Now, arguably, that vote spread is only about 3,200 votes, which is less
than the almost six thousand votes that the "please ignore" poll got, so
it could be considered noise.
But hey, I asked, so I'll honor the votes.

I've noticed significant locking contention in memory reclaimer around
sb_lock inside grab_super_passive(). Grab_super_passive() is called from
two places: in icache/dcache shrinkers (function super_cache_scan) and
from writeback (function __writeback_inodes_wb). Both are required for
progress in memory allocator.
Grab_super_passive() acquires sb_lock to increment sb->s_count and check
sb->s_instances. It seems sb->s_umount locked for read is enough here:
super-block deactivation always runs under sb->s_umount locked for write.
Protecting super-block itself isn't a problem: in super_cache_scan() sb
is protected by shrinker_rwsem: it cannot be freed if its slab shrinkers
are still active. Inside writeback super-block comes from inode from bdi
writeback list under wb->list_lock.
This patch removes locking sb_lock and checks s_instances under s_umount:
generic_shutdown_super() unlinks it under sb->s_umount locked for write.
New variant is called trylock_super() and since it only locks semaphore,
callers must call up_read(&sb->s_umount) instead of drop_super(sb) when
they're done.

Convert the following where appropriate:
(1) S_ISLNK(dentry->d_inode) to d_is_symlink(dentry).
(2) S_ISREG(dentry->d_inode) to d_is_reg(dentry).
(3) S_ISDIR(dentry->d_inode) to d_is_dir(dentry). This is actually more
complicated than it appears as some calls should be converted to
d_can_lookup() instead. The difference is whether the directory in
question is a real dir with a ->lookup op or whether it's a fake dir with
a ->d_automount op.
In some circumstances, we can subsume checks for dentry->d_inode not being
NULL into this, provided we the code isn't in a filesystem that expects
d_inode to be NULL if the dirent really *is* negative (ie. if we're going to
use d_inode() rather than d_backing_inode() to get the inode pointer).
Note that the dentry type field may be set to something other than
DCACHE_MISS_TYPE when d_inode is NULL in the case of unionmount, where the VFS
manages the fall-through from a negative dentry to a lower layer. In such a
case, the dentry type of the negative union dentry is set to the same as the
type of the lower dentry.
However, if you know d_inode is not NULL at the call site, then you can use
the d_is_xxx() functions even in a filesystem.
There is one further complication: a 0,0 chardev dentry may be labelled
DCACHE_WHITEOUT_TYPE rather than DCACHE_SPECIAL_TYPE. Strictly, this was
intended for special directory entry types that don't have attached inodes.

Introduce some function for getting the inode (and also the dentry) in an

The problem is that we have places where we need *both* the union dentry and
the lower source or workspace inode or dentry available, but we can only have
a handle on one of them. Therefore we need to derive the handle to the other
from that.
The idea is to introduce an extra field in struct dentry that allows the union

- support for MIPS R6 processors.
Revision 6 of the MIPS architecture is a major revision of the MIPS
architecture which does away with many of original sins of the
architecture such as branch delay slots. This and other changes in
R6 require major changes throughout the entire MIPS core
architecture code and make up for the lion share of this pull
request.
- finally some preparatory work for eXtendend Physical Address
support, which allows support of up to 40 bit of physical address
space on 32 bit processors"
[ Ahh, MIPS can't leave the PAE brain damage alone. It's like
every CPU architect has to make that mistake, but pee in the snow
by changing the TLA. But whether it's called PAE, LPAE or XPA,
it's horrid crud - Linus ]

are trivial build fixes for bugs that I found myself using randconfig
testing, and a set of two patches from Uwe to mark DT strings as 'const'
where appropriate, to resolve inconsistent section attributes.

Merge tag 'pm+acpi-3.20-rc1-3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm
Pull one more batch of power management and ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"These are mostly fixes on top of the previously merged recent PM and
ACPI material.
First, one commit that broke the ACPI LPSS (Low-Power Subsystem)
driver on a Dell box is reverted and there are two stable-candidate
fixes for that driver. Another fix cleans up two recently added ACPI
EC messages that look odd and the printk level of a noisy debug
message in the core ACPI resources handling code is reduced.
In addition to that we have two stable-candidate fixes for the s3c
cpufreq driver, two cpuidle powernv driver updates related to Device
Trees and a PNP subsystem cleanup that will allow us to get rid of
some old ugliness going forward. Also there is a new blacklist entry
for the ACPI backlight code.
Specifics:
- Revert a recent ACPI LPSS driver commit that prevented the touchpad
driver from loading on Dell XPS13 (Jarkko Nikula).
- Make the ACPI LPSS driver disable the I2C controllers and deassert
SPI host controllers resets at startup on Intel BayTrail and
