sched/wait: Rename wait_queue_t => wait_queue_entry_t

2017-06-20T10:18:27+00:00

Rename:

	wait_queue_t		=>	wait_queue_entry_t

'wait_queue_t' was always a slight misnomer: its name implies that it's a "queue",
but in reality it's a queue *entry*. The 'real' queue is the wait queue head,
which had to carry the name.

Start sorting this out by renaming it to 'wait_queue_entry_t'.

This also allows the real structure name 'struct __wait_queue' to
lose its double underscore and become 'struct wait_queue_entry',
which is the more canonical nomenclature for such data types.

Pull workqueue update from Tejun Heo:

  workqueue: use setup_deferrable_timer

workqueue: Provide work_on_cpu_safe()

2017-04-15T10:20:53+00:00

work_on_cpu() is not protected against CPU hotplug. For code which requires
to be either executed on an online CPU or to fail if the CPU is not
available the callsite would have to protect against CPU hotplug.

Provide a function which does get/put_online_cpus() around the call to
work_on_cpu() and fails the call with -ENODEV if the target CPU is not
online.

Preparatory patch to convert several racy task affinity manipulations.

workqueue: trigger WARN if queue_delayed_work() is called with NULL @wq

2017-03-06T20:33:42+00:00

If queue_delayed_work() gets called with NULL @wq, the kernel will
oops asynchronuosly on timer expiration which isn't too helpful in
tracking down the offender.  This actually happened with smc.

__queue_delayed_work() already does several input sanity checks
synchronously.  Add NULL @wq check.

time: Remove CONFIG_TIMER_STATS

2017-02-10T10:15:08+00:00

Currently CONFIG_TIMER_STATS exposes process information across namespaces:

kernel/time/timer_list.c print_timer():

        SEQ_printf(m, ", %s/%d", tmp, timer->start_pid);

/proc/timer_list:

 #11: <0000000000000000>, hrtimer_wakeup, S:01, do_nanosleep, cron/2570

Given that the tracer can give the same information, this patch entirely
removes CONFIG_TIMER_STATS.

workqueue: move wq_numa_init() to workqueue_init()

2016-10-19T16:12:26+00:00

While splitting up workqueue initialization into two parts,
ac8f73400782 ("workqueue: make workqueue available early during boot")
put wq_numa_init() into workqueue_init_early().  Unfortunately, on
some archs including power and arm64, cpu to node mapping isn't yet
established by the time the early init is called leading to incorrect
NUMA initialization and subsequently the following oops due to zero
cpumask on node-specific unbound pools.

Fix it by moving wq_numa_init() to workqueue_init().  As this means
that the early intialization may not have full NUMA info for per-cpu
pools and ignores NUMA affinity for unbound pools, fix them up from
workqueue_init() after wq_numa_init().

kthread: rename probe_kthread_data() to kthread_probe_data()

2016-10-11T22:06:33+00:00

Patch series "kthread: Kthread worker API improvements"

The intention of this patchset is to make it easier to manipulate and
maintain kthreads.  Especially, I want to replace all the custom main
cycles with a generic one.  Also I want to make the kthreads sleep in a
consistent state in a common place when there is no work.

This patch (of 11):

A good practice is to prefix the names of functions by the name of the
subsystem.

This patch fixes the name of probe_kthread_data().  The other wrong
functions names are part of the kthread worker API and will be fixed
separately.
