From 2a1d446019f9a5983ec5a335b95e8593fdb6fa2e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Gleixner Date: Mon, 16 Jul 2012 10:42:36 +0000 Subject: kthread: Implement park/unpark facility To avoid the full teardown/setup of per cpu kthreads in the case of cpu hot(un)plug, provide a facility which allows to put the kthread into a park position and unpark it when the cpu comes online again.

On registration the threads for already online cpus are created and started. On deregistration (modules) the threads are stoppped. During hotplug operations the threads are created, started, parked and unparked. The datastructure for registration provides a pointer to percpu storage space and optional setup, cleanup, park, unpark functions. These functions are called when the thread state changes. Each implementation has to provide a function which is queried and returns whether the thread should run and the thread function itself. The core code handles all state transitions and avoids duplicated code in the call sites. [ paulmck: Preemption leak fix ] Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner Cc: Peter Zijlstra Reviewed-by: Srivatsa S.

McKenney" Date: Tue, 31 Jul 2012 10:12:48 -0700 Subject: rcu: Permit RCU_NONIDLE() to be used from interrupt context There is a need to use RCU from interrupt context, but either before rcu_irq_enter() is called or after rcu_irq_exit() is called. If the interrupt occurs from idle, then lockdep-RCU will complain about such uses, as they appear to be illegal uses of RCU from the idle loop. In other environments, RCU_NONIDLE() could be used to properly protect the use of RCU, but RCU_NONIDLE() currently cannot be invoked except from process context. This commit therefore modifies RCU_NONIDLE() to permit its use more globally. Reported-by: Steven Rostedt Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney Signed-off-by: Paul E.

McKenney" Date: Thu, 23 Aug 2012 08:34:07 -0700 Subject: time: RCU permitted to stop idle entry via softirq The can_stop_idle_tick() function complains if a softirq vector is raised too late in the idle-entry process, presumably in order to prevent dangling softirq invocations from being delayed across the full idle period, which might be indefinitely long -- and if softirq was asserted any later than the call to this function, such a delay might well happen. However, RCU needs to be able to use softirq to stop idle entry in order to be able to drain RCU callbacks from the current CPU, which in turn enables faster entry into dyntick-idle mode, which in turn reduces power consumption. Because RCU takes this action at a well-defined point in the idle-entry path, it is safe for RCU to take this approach. This commit therefore silences the error message that is sometimes produced when the going-idle CPU suddenly finds that it has an RCU_SOFTIRQ to process. The error message will continue to be issued for other softirq vectors. Reported-by: Sedat Dilek Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney Signed-off-by: Paul E.
