From a1261f54611ec4ad6a7ab7080f86747e3ac3685b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Al Viro Date: Sun, 13 Nov 2005 16:06:55 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] m68k: introduce task_thread_info new helper - task_thread_info(task). On platforms that have thread_info allocated separately (i.e. in default case) it simply returns task->thread_info. m68k wants (and for good reasons) to embed its thread_info into task_struct. So it will (in later patch) have task_thread_info() of its own. For now we just add a macro for generic case and convert existing instances of its body in core kernel to uses of new macro. Obviously safe - all normal architectures get the same preprocessor output they used to get.

Two new helpers - setup_thread_stack() and end_of_stack(). For normal case the former consists of copying thread_info of parent to new thread_info and the latter returns pointer immediately past the end of thread_info.

Their retrying, if any, is done in the context of their owner who has allocated them on the stack. The sole user of a sync iocb's ctx reference was aio_complete() checking for an elevated iocb ref count that could never happen. No path which grabs an iocb ref has access to sync iocbs. If we were to implement sync iocb cancelation it would be done by the owner of the iocb using its on-stack reference. Removing this chunk from aio_complete allows us to remove the entire kioctx instance from mm_struct, reducing its size by a third. On a i386 testing box the slab size went from 768 to 504 bytes and from 5 to 8 per page.
