linux-next: manual merge of the rr tree

linux-next: manual merge of the rr tree

Hi Rusty,

Today's linux-next merge of the rr tree got quite a few conflicts - too
many for me to fix up right now.  I shall drop it for today and try again
tomorrow.

One thing:  You need to sort out where patches belong as at least one
change that conflicted was because different versions of the same fix was
applied to the rr and cpus4096 trees.

P.S. looking at commit dba205acec6f7db0b53abdf5b26802c19c0d9abf
("cpumask: fixlets") from the cpus4096 tree, "Signed-of-by: has two
'f's :-)

We were hoping Linus would take the cpumask API patches this time around so 
this issue would vanish.  I've moved them out of my -next tree for the 
moment.

After that, it's a matter of pushing conversion patches through misc. 
maintainers over the next cycle.

Thanks,
Rusty.

[PATCH] cpumask: introduce new API, without changing anything

[Rusty Russell]

(Tested in linux-next as well as locally.  Linus, please apply).

We want to deprecate cpumasks on the stack, as we are headed for
gynormous numbers of CPUs.  Eventually, we want to head towards an
undefined 'struct cpumask' so they can never be declared on stack.

1) New cpumask functions which take pointers instead of copies.
   (cpus_* -> cpumask_*)

2) Several new helpers to reduce requirements for temporary cpumasks
   (cpumask_first_and, cpumask_next_and, cpumask_any_and)

3) Helpers for declaring cpumasks on or offstack for large NR_CPUS
   (cpumask_var_t, alloc_cpumask_var and free_cpumask_var)

4) 'struct cpumask' for explicitness and to mark new-style code.

5) Make iterator functions stop at nr_cpu_ids (a runtime constant),
   not NR_CPUS for time efficiency and for smaller dynamic allocations
   in future.

6) cpumask_copy() so we can allocate less than a full cpumask eventually
   (for alloc_cpumask_var), and so we can eliminate the 'struct cpumask'
   definition eventually.

7) work_on_cpu() helper for doing task on a CPU, rather than saving old
   cpumask for current thread and manipulating it.

8) smp_call_function_many() which is smp_call_function_mask() except
   taking a cpumask pointer.

Note that this patch simply introduces the new functions and leaves
the obsolescent ones in place.  This is to simplify the transition
patches.

(Full kudos to co-author Mike for all the trial-and-error and haggling
over this new API).

if this is equal to the patch that you sent me (see the git

by me on a healthy range of x86 systems, in a range of build

So I can happily compile and run

	cpumask_first("hello, world");

with CONFIG_SMP=n?

yeah, you are right that the use of a macro sucks there, it should be 
an inline function.

We should stop using CPP, which is the outdated tech of the sixties. 
We should go with the new wave of the seventies and use this shiny new 
"C" language that's all the rage with features like type checking and 
stuff.

Good point.  It was based on the existing "first_cpu", but it's not a practice
we should encourage.

Hmm, the implementation of these UP versions is wrong in corner cases, too. 
Obviously it doesn't currently matter the way they are used, but a nasty trap
for the future.

Here's the addition, I've queued it for linux-next (which will next come out
after the weekend).

but the change was not due to some merge conflict, it was a change 
done to the patch itself.

The merge conflict happened because Rusty iterated the patch in a 
non-append manner so two versions of the same patch collided in 
linux-next.

So ... what was the change, was it _really_ tested as-is in the 
linux-next tree for a longer time, or just merged a couple of hours 
ago?

Rusty, i pointed it out before, this kind of workflow you use in the 
rr tree is really inefficient for such types of changes. You destroy 
testing results by rebasing all the time, you make changes harder to 
review and as an end result you make it harder to achieve a better end 
result.

hm, i just researched it a bit, and the patch Rusty just submitted to 
Linus was not in linux-next it appears, as the modified commit is just 
a few hours old.

Find below the delta patch between the two versions, and an 
analysis/review of the changes. I've started testing it as well, and 
it's looking good so far.

Here is when the new version showed up in linux-next a few hours ago:

| commit 92a8334f1b0ad1f65127bc763ab214d6b60ec966

| CommitDate: Fri Nov 7 20:44:35 2008 +1100
|
|    Add linux-next specific files for 20081107

It was a new (and modified) quilt-exported commit from "quilt/rr":

| 0c82f41: cpumask:new-API-only
|
| Author:     Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
| AuthorDate: Fri Nov 7 11:12:29 2008 +1100
| Commit:     Stephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au>
| CommitDate: Fri Nov 7 11:12:29 2008 +1100

Which collided with a previous version of that patch in the cpus4096 
tree:

| 2d3854a: cpumask: introduce new API, without changing anything
|
| Author:     Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
| AuthorDate: Wed Nov 5 13:39:10 2008 +1100
| CommitDate: Thu Nov 6 09:05:33 2008 +0100

"0c82f41: cpumask:new-API-only" thus has only a couple of hours of 
lifetime and the "this has been in linux-next" is only true for that 
short time period.

So ... i've reconstructed what's new in 0c82f41, and i came up with 
the delta patch below.

Review of the delta patch:

- the cpumask_of() is added to the SMP section of cpumask.h but not to
  the UP section. Similarly, some of the other SMP APIs are not 
  declared in the UP section either. (Furthermore, the macros in the 
  UP section should really be inlines, not macros - as akpm noticed it
  too.)

- the free_bootmem_cpumask_var() addition looks good but is a tiny bit
  incomplete: the free_bootmem_cpumask_var() function should be marked 
  __init, like all bootmem methods are.

i guess these changes should be OK.

Note that such types of minor problems are very easy to spot and 
address in an append-only workflow (even if you just emulate it in 
quilt), but are hidden and laborous to extract with an agreesive 
quilt-rebasing history-eating workflow that just exports completely 
new versions of patches.

Just in case you are wondering why i care so much about 'your' patch: 
i'd like it to go upstream. The patch and the plan affects subsystems 
i'm (co-)maintaining, in a nontrivial way, (scheduler, irq and x86 
code), and the cpumask code caused trouble in the past so i'd like to 
know _exactly_ what future changes go into it. Isnt that a fair 
interest?

But your "rr tree" is not suitable at all to follow the development of 
this effort. Deltas are not transparent and reviewable, the changes 
are mixed into other changes and you force me into this kind of review 
and delta patch forensics and that is very inefficient - and it 
obviously harms the end result and wastes time for no good reason.

And yes, when all is said and done and everyone's happy there's no 
problem with eventually collapsing delta patches together into a 
single clean patch.

Most of the time it's not _worth_ touching existing history with 
folding patches: as you can see it from the patch below, there's no 
technical reason why it could not have been a separate delta patch. 
Those changes do not cause _any_ bisection barrier, nor do they cause 
any other of problem either.

And dont get me wrong, destroying the delta was not malice on your 
part in any way, it was "just" a side-effect destruction of 
information that resulted out of your customary work flow. I realize 
that you like and prefer that workflow, and that you have used it for 
years, but you should also accept it when i point out the problems 
that it causes down the line.

And the thing is, a year ago i was in similar shoes and i was on the 
receiving end of similar complaints, and in hindsight i do not regret 
at all having changed to a Git workflow =B-)

I'd like to begin resubmitting the patches that were in the cpus4096-v2
branch but I'm not quite sure how to set up the git tree.  I have:

git-remote add linus git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git
git-remote add tip git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip.git
git-remote update
git-checkout -b cpus4096 tip/cpus4096

But I don't see the linux-next changes (like cpumask_first for uniprocessor), so I'm
guessing I need to either merge in linux-next, or insert it into the above setup
commands?

Fyi, hopefully this patch submission conduit will work:

	generic only: via linux-next
	arch-specific (x86 + others): Rusty via arch-maintainers (linux-next?)
	(x86 only): Mike via tip/cpus4096

Does this work for you?

Thanks,
Mike

Ok, I sent through the latest delta on top of this before, but see below.

Not quite: it's in the general section.  Don't scare me like that :)

Looks like you took that draft I mailed around?  Mike asked for free_... as a
response to that.  But I'll fix the __init.

I've restored the patch into that version you have, plus separate updates.  I
hope that fixes the workflow issues.

Updates below for reference.

Thanks,
Rusty.

1) Andrew pointed out inlines are superior to macros.  Also, UP versions
   weren't correct in all cases (doesn't matter at the moment, but
   nasty surprise one day).

2) Documentation was missing for for_each_cpu and for_each_cpu_and.

3) As we state when fixing the UP version, the "cpu" arg to
   "cpumask_any_but()" must be a valid CPU number, so add debug check.

heh, indeed - i looked twice and both times i missed this in the 
middle of that code:

 #endif /* SMP */

... sorry, my bad! (a newline before this line might have helped)

thanks a ton, this looks perfect.

Mike, could you please double-check that the version that is in 
tip/cpus4096 [622e0ed] is the final version you need, and that if you 
base subsequent patches on it it works as expected?

Then it would be all green and Rusty could send the final version of 
the patch to Linus. It has my ack obviously:

  Acked-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

and once that patch hits upstream, we could restructure/rebase the 
commits in cpus4096-v2 ontop of upstream and spread them out properly. 
Does that sound optimal?

Thomas also did a cross-build of it, and it looks all good:

   Run 141: 2008-11-07 13:54:41 .. 2008-11-07 15:02:59

   Run 141: 17 of 19 operations OK
   Run 141: 2 of 19 operations FAILED

   http://www.tglx.de/autoqa-logs/000141-0008-0015.log

the two build failures are not related to these changes.

Yes, thanks.  I'm doing the x86 portion now.  Rusty is doing the other
arch and core changes.

Can somebody send a final patch-set to me? Right now I have multiple 
versions of patches, apparently on top of each other, and sometimes 
multiple patches per email. Very confusing, and I do _not_ want to apply 
the wrong thing by mistake.

I've got them collected and tested (and so has Rusty), see the tree 
URI below. There's no pending problem left that i know of. I also just 
did a fresh test-build and test-boot of this tree, for good measure.
