Add round_jiffies_up and related routines

2008-11-06T07:42:48Z

This patch (as1158b) adds round_jiffies_up() and friends. These routines work like the analogous round_jiffies() functions, except that they will never round down. The new routines will be useful for timeouts where we don't care exactly when the timer expires, provided it doesn't expire too soon. Signed-off-by: Alan Stern Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

migrate_timers: add comment, use spinlock_irq()

2008-08-21T11:34:54Z

Add the comment to explain why the double lock in migrate_timers() can't deadlock. Change the code to use spinlock_irq() instead of local_irq_disable() + spin_lock(). Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov Acked-by: Steven Rostedt Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

Remove argument from open_softirq which is always NULL

2008-05-25T05:43:15Z

As git-grep shows, open_softirq() is always called with the last argument being NULL block/blk-core.c: open_softirq(BLOCK_SOFTIRQ, blk_done_softirq, NULL); kernel/hrtimer.c: open_softirq(HRTIMER_SOFTIRQ, run_hrtimer_softirq, NULL); kernel/rcuclassic.c: open_softirq(RCU_SOFTIRQ, rcu_process_callbacks, NULL); kernel/rcupreempt.c: open_softirq(RCU_SOFTIRQ, rcu_process_callbacks, NULL); kernel/sched.c: open_softirq(SCHED_SOFTIRQ, run_rebalance_domains, NULL); kernel/softirq.c: open_softirq(TASKLET_SOFTIRQ, tasklet_action, NULL); kernel/softirq.c: open_softirq(HI_SOFTIRQ, tasklet_hi_action, NULL); kernel/timer.c: open_softirq(TIMER_SOFTIRQ, run_timer_softirq, NULL); net/core/dev.c: open_softirq(NET_TX_SOFTIRQ, net_tx_action, NULL); net/core/dev.c: open_softirq(NET_RX_SOFTIRQ, net_rx_action, NULL); This observation has already been made by Matthew Wilcox in June 2002 (http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/linux/linux-kernel/2002-25/0687.html) "I notice that none of the current softirq routines use the data element passed to them." and the situation hasn't changed since them. So it appears we can safely remove that extra argument to save 128 (54) bytes of kernel data (text). Signed-off-by: Carlos R. Mafra Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner

timers: simplify lockdep handling

2008-04-17T10:22:31Z

In order to avoid the false positive from lockdep, each per-cpu base->lock has the separate lock class and migrate_timers() uses double_spin_lock(). This all is overcomplicated: except for migrate_timers() we never take 2 locks at once, and migrate_timers() can use spin_lock_nested().

NOHZ: reevaluate idle sleep length after add_timer_on()

2008-03-26T07:28:55Z

add_timer_on() can add a timer on a CPU which is currently in a long idle sleep, but the timer wheel is not reevaluated by the nohz code on that CPU. So a timer can be delayed for quite a long time. This triggered a false positive in the clocksource watchdog code. To avoid this we need to wake up the idle CPU and enforce the reevaluation of the timer wheel for the next timer event. Add a function, which checks a given CPU for idle state, marks the idle task with NEED_RESCHED and sends a reschedule IPI to notify the other CPU of the change in the timer wheel. Call this function from add_timer_on().
