Create a kernel/rcutree_plugin.h file that contains definitions
for preemptable RCU (or, under the #else branch of the #ifdef,
empty definitions for the classic non-preemptable semantics).
These definitions fit into plugins defined in kernel/rcutree.c
for this purpose.
This variant of preemptable RCU uses a new algorithm whose
read-side expense is roughly that of classic hierarchical RCU
under CONFIG_PREEMPT. This new algorithm's update-side expense
is similar to that of classic hierarchical RCU, and, in absence
of read-side preemption or blocking, is exactly that of classic
hierarchical RCU. Perhaps more important, this new algorithm
has a much simpler implementation, saving well over 1,000 lines
of code compared to mainline's implementation of preemptable
RCU, which will hopefully be retired in favor of this new
algorithm.
The simplifications are obtained by maintaining per-task
nesting state for running tasks, and using a simple
lock-protected algorithm to handle accounting when tasks block
within RCU read-side critical sections, making use of lessons
learned while creating numerous user-level RCU implementations
over the past 18 months.

A couple of references to CONFIG_CLASSIC_RCU have survived.
Although these are harmless, it is past time for them to go.
The one in hardirq.h is strictly a readability problem.
The two in pagemap.h appear to disable a !SMP performance
optimization (which this patch re-enables).
This does raise the issue as to whether pagemap.h should really
be referring to the CPU implementation. Long term, I intend to
make the RCU implementation driven by CONFIG_PREEMPT, at which
point these should change from defined(CONFIG_TREE_RCU) to
!defined(CONFIG_PREEMPT). In the meantime, is there something
else that could be done in pagemap.h?

This patch eliminates the counter-moving during CPU-offline
notifiers, eliminating potential confusion if counters are
scanned during counter-movement process.
This confusion could result in premature ending of an RCU grace
period. For example, if there are two tasks in RCU read-side
critical sections (so that the sum of the counters is two), and
the counter for the CPU going offline is -2, then moving the
count to another CPU can result in the sum momentarily
appearing to be zero. Since there are no memory barriers in
either case, many more such scenarios are possible.
So just don't move the counts!!!

free_irq() can remove an irqaction while the corresponding interrupt
is in progress, but free_irq() sets action->thread to NULL
unconditionally, which might lead to a NULL pointer dereference in
handle_IRQ_event() when the hard interrupt context tries to wake up
the handler thread.
Prevent this by moving the thread stop after synchronize_irq(). No
need to set action->thread to NULL either as action is going to be
freed anyway.
This fixes a boot crash reported against preempt-rt which uses the
mainline irq threads code to implement full irq threading.

kernel_sendpage() does the proper default case handling for when the

Now, arguably this might be something that we could instead solve by
just specifying that all protocols should do it themselves at the

Does anybody really care about sendpage on something like Appletalk? Not

Shows us that the test (27d028d perf report: Update for the new

Will clearly fail.
The problem is that perf_counter_fork() reports the actual
parent, instead of the cloning thread.
Fixing that (with the below patch), yields:
# ./perf report -D | grep FORK

Which both makes more sense and doesn't confuse perf report

perf_pending_counter() is called from IRQ context and will call
perf_counter_disable(), however perf_counter_disable() uses
smp_call_function_single() which doesn't fancy being used with
IRQs disabled due to IPI deadlocks.
Fix this by making it use the local __perf_counter_disable()
call and teaching the counter_sched_out() code about pending
disables as well.
This should cover the case where a counter migrates before the
pending queue gets processed.

this is unintended.
The below removes the lock, this opens up race window, but not
worse than the swcounters already experience due to RCU

Normally we only allow the upper limit for a reshape to be decreased
when the array not performing a sync/recovery/reshape, otherwise there
could be races. But if an array is part-way through a reshape when it
is assembled the reshape is started immediately leaving no window
to set an upper bound.
If the array is started read-only, the reshape will be suspended until
the array becomes writable, so that provides a window during which it
is perfectly safe to reduce the upper limit of a reshape.
So: allow the upper limit (sync_max) to be reduced even if the reshape
thread is running, as long as the array is still read-only.

md/raid5 doesn't allow a reshape to restart if it involves writing
over the same part of disk that it would be reading from.
This happens at the beginning of a reshape that increases the number
of devices, at the end of a reshape that decreases the number of
devices, and continuously for a reshape that does not change the
number of devices.
The current code is correct for the "increase number of devices"
case as the critical section at the start is handled by userspace
performing a backup.
It does not work for reducing the number of devices, or the
no-change case.
For 'reducing', we need to invert the test. For no-change we cannot
really be sure things will be safe, so simply require the array
to be read-only, which is how the user-space code which carefully
starts such arrays works.

When assembling arrays, md allows two devices to have different event
counts as long as the difference is only '1'. This is to cope with
a system failure between updating the metadata on two difference
devices.
However there are currently times when we update the event count by
2. This was done to keep the event count even when the array is clean
and odd when it is dirty, which allows us to avoid writing common
update to spare devices and so allow those spares to go to sleep.
This is bad for the above reason. So change it to never increase by
two. This means that the alignment between 'odd/even' and
'clean/dirty' might take a little longer to attain, but that is only a
small cost. The spares will get a few more updates but that will
still be spared (;-) most updates and can still go to sleep.
Prior to this patch there was a small chance that after a crash an
array would fail to assemble due to the overly large event count
mismatch.

blktrace: remove debugfs entries on bad path
added in an explicit invocation of debugfs_remove for bt->dir, in
blk_remove_buf_file_callback we are also getting the directory removed. On
occasion I am seeing memory corruption that I have bisected down to
this commit. [The testing involves a (long) series of I/O benchmarks
with blktrace invoked around the actual runs.] I believe that this
committed patch is correct, but the problem actually lies in the code
in blk_remove_buf_file_callback.
With this patch I am able to consistently get complete runs whereas
previously I could not get a single run to complete.
The first part of the patch simply moves the debugfs_remove below the
relay_close: the relay_close call will remove files under bt->dir, and
so we should not remove the directory until all the files we created
have been removed. (Note: This is not sufficient to fix the problem -
the file system code has ref counts on the directoy, so our invocation
does not cause the directory to actually be removed. Nonetheless, we
should not rely upon that feature.)
