Linux-2.6.12-rc2 Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!

[PATCH] Use alloc_percpu to allocate workqueues locally This patch makes the workqueus use alloc_percpu instead of an array. The workqueues are placed on nodes local to each processor. The workqueue structure can grow to a significant size on a system with lots of processors if this patch is not applied. 64 bit architectures with all debugging features enabled and configured for 512 processors will not be able to boot without this patch.

[SCSI] add execute_in_process_context() API We have several points in the SCSI stack (primarily for our device functions) where we need to guarantee process context, but (given the place where the last reference was released) we cannot guarantee this. This API gets around the issue by executing the function directly if the caller has process context, but scheduling a workqueue to execute in process context if the caller doesn't have it.

[PATCH] fix workqueue oops during cpu offline Use first_cpu(cpu_possible_map) for the single-thread workqueue case. We used to hardcode 0, but that broke on systems where !cpu_possible(0) when workqueue_struct->cpu_workqueue_struct was changed from a static array to alloc_percpu. Commit id bce61dd49d6ba7799be2de17c772e4c701558f14 ("Fix hardcoded cpu=0 in workqueue for per_cpu_ptr() calls") fixed that for Ben's funky sparc64 system, but it regressed my Power5. Offlining cpu 0 oopses upon the next call to queue_work for a single-thread workqueue, because now we try to manipulate per_cpu_ptr(wq->cpu_wq, 1), which is uninitialized. So we need to establish an unchanging "slot" for single-thread workqueues which will have a valid percpu allocation. Since alloc_percpu keys off of cpu_possible_map, which must not change after initialization, make this slot == first_cpu(cpu_possible_map).

[PATCH] Fix hardcoded cpu=0 in workqueue for per_cpu_ptr() calls Tracked this down on an Ultra Enterprise 3000. It's a 6-way machine. Odd thing about this machine (and it's good for finding bugs like this) is that the CPU id's are not 0 based. For instance, on my machine the CPU's are 6/7/10/11/14/15. This caused some NULL pointer dereference in kernel/workqueue.c because for single_threaded workqueue's, it hardcoded the cpu to 0. I changed the 0's to any_online_cpu(cpu_online_mask), which cpumask.h claims is "First cpu in mask". So this fits the same usage.

[PATCH] add schedule_on_each_cpu() swap migration's isolate_lru_page() currently uses an IPI to notify other processors that the lru caches need to be drained if the page cannot be found on the LRU. The IPI interrupt may interrupt a processor that is just processing lru requests and cause a race condition. This patch introduces a new function run_on_each_cpu() that uses the keventd() to run the LRU draining on each processor. Processors disable preemption when dealing the LRU caches (these are per processor) and thus executing LRU draining from another process is safe.

[PATCH] re-export cancel_rearming_delayed_workqueue This was unexported by Arjan because we have no current users. However, during a conversion from tasklets to workqueues of the parisc led functions, we ran across a case where this was needed. In particular, the open coded equivalent of cancel_rearming_delayed_workqueue was implemented incorrectly, which is, I think, all the evidence necessary that this is a useful API.

Linux-2.6.12-rc2 Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!

[SCSI] add execute_in_process_context() API We have several points in the SCSI stack (primarily for our device functions) where we need to guarantee process context, but (given the place where the last reference was released) we cannot guarantee this. This API gets around the issue by executing the function directly if the caller has process context, but scheduling a workqueue to execute in process context if the caller doesn't have it.

[PATCH] Use alloc_percpu to allocate workqueues locally This patch makes the workqueus use alloc_percpu instead of an array. The workqueues are placed on nodes local to each processor.

[PATCH] cpu hoptlug: avoid usage of smp_processor_id() in preemptible code Replace smp_processor_id() with any_online_cpu(cpu_online_map) in order to avoid lots of "BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000001] code:..." messages in case taking a cpu online fails. All the traces start at the last notifier_call_chain(...) in kernel/cpu.c. Since we hold the cpu_control semaphore it shouldn't be any problem to access cpu_online_map. The reason why cpu_up failed is simply that the cpu that was supposed to be taken online wasn't even there. That is because on s390 we never know when a new cpu comes and therefore cpu_possible_map consists of only ones and doesn't reflect reality.

[PATCH] fix workqueue oops during cpu offline Use first_cpu(cpu_possible_map) for the single-thread workqueue case. We used to hardcode 0, but that broke on systems where !cpu_possible(0) when workqueue_struct->cpu_workqueue_struct was changed from a static array to alloc_percpu. Commit id bce61dd49d6ba7799be2de17c772e4c701558f14 ("Fix hardcoded cpu=0 in workqueue for per_cpu_ptr() calls") fixed that for Ben's funky sparc64 system, but it regressed my Power5. Offlining cpu 0 oopses upon the next call to queue_work for a single-thread workqueue, because now we try to manipulate per_cpu_ptr(wq->cpu_wq, 1), which is uninitialized. So we need to establish an unchanging "slot" for single-thread workqueues which will have a valid percpu allocation. Since alloc_percpu keys off of cpu_possible_map, which must not change after initialization, make this slot == first_cpu(cpu_possible_map).
