[PATCH RT 0/4] Linux 3.2.55-rt81-rc1

[PATCH RT 0/4] Linux 3.2.55-rt81-rc1

[Steven Rostedt]

Dear RT Folks,

This is the RT stable review cycle of patch 3.2.55-rt81-rc1.

Please scream at me if I messed something up. Please test the patches too.

The -rc release will be uploaded to kernel.org and will be deleted when
the final release is out. This is just a review release (or release candidate).

The pre-releases will not be pushed to the git repository, only the
final release is.

If all goes well, this patch will be converted to the next main release
on 3/18/2014.

Enjoy,

-- Steve

[PATCH RT 1/4] net: sched: dev_deactivate_many(): use msleep(1) instead of yield() to wait for outstanding qdisc_run calls

3.2.55-rt81-rc stable review patch.
If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Marc Kleine-Budde <mkl@pengutronix.de>

On PREEMPT_RT enabled systems the interrupt handler run as threads at prio 50
(by default). If a high priority userspace process tries to shut down a busy
network interface it might spin in a yield loop waiting for the device to
become idle. With the interrupt thread having a lower priority than the
looping process it might never be scheduled and so result in a deadlock on UP
systems.

With Magic SysRq the following backtrace can be produced:

This patch works around the problem by replacing yield() by msleep(1), giving
the interrupt thread time to finish, similar to other changes contained in the
rt patch set. Using wait_for_completion() instead would probably be a better
solution.

From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@linutronix.de>

Two cps in parallel managed to stall the the ext4 fs. It seems that
journal code is either waiting for locks or sleeping waiting for
something to happen. This seems similar to what Mike observed on ext3,
here is his description:

|With an -rt kernel, and a heavy sync IO load, tasks can jam
|up on journal locks without unplugging, which can lead to
|terminal IO starvation.  Unplug and schedule when waiting
|for space.

[PATCH RT 3/4] cpu_chill: Add a UNINTERRUPTIBLE hrtimer_nanosleep

[Steven Rostedt]

[-- Attachment #1: 0003-cpu_chill-Add-a-UNINTERRUPTIBLE-hrtimer_nanosleep.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 4135 bytes --]

3.2.55-rt81-rc stable review patch.
If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

We hit another bug that was caused by switching cpu_chill() from
msleep() to hrtimer_nanosleep().

This time it is a livelock. The problem is that hrtimer_nanosleep()
calls schedule with the state == TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE. But these means
that if a signal is pending, the scheduler wont schedule, and will
simply change the current task state back to TASK_RUNNING. This
nullifies the whole point of cpu_chill() in the first place. That is,
if a task is spinning on a try_lock() and it preempted the owner of the
lock, if it has a signal pending, it will never give up the CPU to let
the owner of the lock run.

I made a static function __hrtimer_nanosleep() that takes a fifth
parameter "state", which determines the task state of that the
nanosleep() will be in. The normal hrtimer_nanosleep() will act the
same, but cpu_chill() will call the __hrtimer_nanosleep() directly with
the TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE state.

cpu_chill() only cares that the first sleep happens, and does not care
about the state of the restart schedule (in hrtimer_nanosleep_restart).

Bah, that should have been -rt81-rc1. But it is rather pointless to
make an -rc2 to update the rc number.

[PATCH RT 1/4] net: sched: dev_deactivate_many(): use msleep(1) instead of yield() to wait for outstanding qdisc_run calls

[Steven Rostedt]

3.4.82-rt103-rc1 stable review patch.
If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Marc Kleine-Budde <mkl@pengutronix.de>

On PREEMPT_RT enabled systems the interrupt handler run as threads at prio 50
(by default). If a high priority userspace process tries to shut down a busy
network interface it might spin in a yield loop waiting for the device to
become idle. With the interrupt thread having a lower priority than the
looping process it might never be scheduled and so result in a deadlock on UP
systems.

With Magic SysRq the following backtrace can be produced:

This patch works around the problem by replacing yield() by msleep(1), giving
the interrupt thread time to finish, similar to other changes contained in the
rt patch set. Using wait_for_completion() instead would probably be a better
solution.
