2.5.64-mm2

[Andrew Morton]

http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.5/2.5.64/2.5.64-mm2/

Just lots of little stuff here.  Mainly a resync with various people.

Note: there is a change to the console handling code in Linus's tree which
means that if you have both VT console and serial console enabled in kernel
config, the serial console now wins.  Nothing comes out on the screen during
bootup.  It used to be the case that the VT console was initialised first.

If this happens you will need to specify the console device on the boot
command line.

We appear to have at least three use-after-free bugs.  One is fixed here, and
there are extra debugging goodies which may help us find the others.  Please
enable memory debugging and keep an eye open.

Now I oops on boot justt when it trys to mount root (reiserfs),
unfortunately, I cannot page up to see the oops text.

I'll try booting with vesa fbcon to see if I can't see more.

Eliminate initrd (eliminate using it, not support for it) and oops goes
away. Weird.

Re: [patch] updated scheduler-tunables for 2.5.64-mm2

[Martin J. Bligh]

Cool ... do you want to add the other two NUMA parameters as well to
your stack? (the idle and busy rebalance rates). Here's what I had
before with those in.

+
+2.11 /proc/sys/sched - scheduler tunables
+-----------------------------------------
+
+Useful knobs for tuning the scheduler live in /proc/sys/sched.
+
+child_penalty
+-------------
+
+Percentage of the parent's sleep_avg that children inherit.  sleep_avg is
+a running average of the time a process spends sleeping.  Tasks with high
+sleep_avg values are considered interactive and given a higher dynamic
+priority and a larger timeslice.  You typically want this some value just
+under 100.
+
+exit_weight
+-----------
+
+When a CPU hog task exits, its parent's sleep_avg is reduced by a factor of
+exit_weight against the exiting task's sleep_avg.
+
+interactive_delta
+-----------------
+
+If a task is "interactive" it is reinserted into the active array after it
+has expired its timeslice, instead of being inserted into the expired array.
+How "interactive" a task must be in order to be deemed interactive is a
+function of its nice value.  This interactive limit is scaled linearly by nice
+value and is offset by the interactive_delta.
+
+max_sleep_avg
+-------------
+
+max_sleep_avg is the largest value (in ms) stored for a task's running sleep
+average.  The larger this value, the longer a task needs to sleep to be
+considered interactive (maximum interactive bonus is a function of
+max_sleep_avg).
+
+max_timeslice
+-------------
+
+Maximum timeslice, in milliseconds.  This is the value given to tasks of the
+highest dynamic priority.
+
+min_timeslice
+-------------
+
+Minimum timeslice, in milliseconds.  This is the value given to tasks of the
+lowest dynamic priority.  Every task gets at least this slice of the processor
+per array switch.
+
+parent_penalty
+--------------
+
+Percentage of the parent's sleep_avg that it retains across a fork().
+sleep_avg is a running average of the time a process spends sleeping.  Tasks
+with high sleep_avg values are considered interactive and given a higher
+dynamic priority and a larger timeslice.  Normally, this value is 100 and thus
+task's retain their sleep_avg on fork.  If you want to punish interactive
+tasks for forking, set this below 100.
+
+prio_bonus_ratio
+----------------
+
+Middle percentage of the priority range that tasks can receive as a dynamic
+priority.  The default value of 25% ensures that nice values at the
+extremes are still enforced.  For example, nice +19 interactive tasks will
+never be able to preempt a nice 0 CPU hog.  Setting this higher will increase
+the size of the priority range the tasks can receive as a bonus.  Setting
+this lower will decrease this range, making the interactivity bonus less
+apparent and user nice values more applicable.
+
+starvation_limit
+----------------
+
+Sufficiently interactive tasks are reinserted into the active array when they
+run out of timeslice.  Normally, tasks are inserted into the expired array.
+Reinserting interactive tasks into the active array allows them to remain
+runnable, which is important to interactive performance.  This could starve
+expired tasks, however, since the interactive task could prevent the array
+switch.  To prevent starving the tasks on the expired array for too long. the
+starvation_limit is the longest (in ms) we will let the expired array starve
+at the expense of reinserting interactive tasks back into active.  Higher
+values here give more preferance to running interactive tasks, at the expense
+of expired tasks.  Lower values provide more fair scheduling behavior, at the
+expense of interactivity.  The units are in milliseconds.
+
+idle_node_rebalance_ratio
+-------------------------
+
+On NUMA machines, we normally rebalance within nodes, but we also rebalance
+globally every N idle rebalance ticks, where N = idle_node_rebalance_ratio.
+
+busy_node_rebalance_ratio
+-------------------------
+
+On NUMA machines, we normally rebalance within nodes, but we also rebalance
+globally every N busy rebalance ticks, where N = busy_node_rebalance_ratio.
