Hi, New week, new version! v5 fixes the wrong API usage in ("rcu: Do not call rcu_nocb_gp_cleanup() while holding rnp->lock") as reported by Boqun. The compile time assertion in previous version (patch #2) didn't hold at all. So I tried to macrofying most of the swait/wait API which looks really ugly and therefore isn't really an option[1]. Instead '-Werror=incompatible-pointer-types' is introduced in patch 2. I compiled s390, arm, powerpc, mips and alpha with allyesconfig, and all is fine. It doesn't look like that this will trigger a lot of new errors. The rest has not changed. Happy reviewing. I wouldn't mind acks, reviewed or even sobs :) These patches are against tip/sched/core e73e85f0593832aa583b252f9a16cf90ed6d30fa also available as git tree: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/wagi/linux.git tip-swait cheers, daniel [1] https://www.mail-archive.com/linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg1029072.html changes since v4: - replaced patch #2 which tried to force to compiler to exit with an error by using compile time assertion type check macros. Instead use -Werror=incompatible-pointer-types to tell the compiler to barf loudly. - fixed wrong API usage in patch 4 as reported by Boqun. changes since v3 - rebased it on tip/sched/core (KVM bits have changed slightly) - added compile time type check assertion - added non lazy version of swake_up_locked() changes since v2 - rebased again on tip/master. The patches apply cleanly on v4.3-rc6 too. - fixed up mips - reordered patches to avoid lockdep warning when doing bissect. - remove unnecessary initialization of rsp->rda in rcu_init_one(). changes since v1 (PATCH v0) - rebased and fixed some typos found by cross building for S390, ARM and powerpc. For some unknown reason didn't catch them last time. - dropped completion patches because it is not clear yet how to handle complete_all() calls hard-irq/atomic contexts and swake_up_all. changes since v0 (RFC v0) - promoted the series to PATCH state instead of RFC - fixed a few fallouts with build all and some cross compilers such ARM, PowerPC, S390. - Added the simple waitqueue transformation for KVM from -rt including some numbers requested by Paolo. - Added a commit message to PeterZ's patch. Hope he likes it. [I got the numbering wrong in v1, so instead 'PATCH v1' you find it as 'PATCH v0' series] v4: https://lwn.net/Articles/665655/ v3: https://lwn.net/Articles/661415/ v2: https://lwn.net/Articles/660628/ v1: https://lwn.net/Articles/656942/ v0: https://lwn.net/Articles/653586/ Daniel Wagner (2): kbuild: Add option to turn incompatible pointer check into error rcu: Do not call rcu_nocb_gp_cleanup() while holding rnp->lock Marcelo Tosatti (1): KVM: use simple waitqueue for vcpu->wq Paul Gortmaker (1): rcu: use simple wait queues where possible in rcutree Peter Zijlstra (Intel) (1): wait.[ch]: Introduce the simple waitqueue (swait) implementation Makefile | 4 + arch/arm/kvm/arm.c | 4 +- arch/arm/kvm/psci.c | 4 +- arch/mips/kvm/mips.c | 8 +- arch/powerpc/include/asm/kvm_host.h | 4 +- arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_hv.c | 23 +++-- arch/s390/include/asm/kvm_host.h | 2 +- arch/s390/kvm/interrupt.c | 8 +- arch/x86/kvm/lapic.c | 6 +- include/linux/kvm_host.h | 5 +- include/linux/swait.h | 172 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ kernel/rcu/tree.c | 24 ++--- kernel/rcu/tree.h | 12 +-- kernel/rcu/tree_plugin.h | 32 ++++--- kernel/sched/Makefile | 2 +- kernel/sched/swait.c | 123 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ lib/Kconfig.debug | 7 ++ virt/kvm/async_pf.c | 4 +- virt/kvm/kvm_main.c | 17 ++-- 19 files changed, 390 insertions(+), 71 deletions(-) create mode 100644 include/linux/swait.h create mode 100644 kernel/sched/swait.c -- 2.4.3 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kbuild" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
