The patch titled do CPU_DEAD migrating under read_lock(tasklist) instead of write_lock_irq(tasklist) has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was do-cpu_dead-migrating-under-read_locktasklist-instead-of-write_lock_irqtasklist.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: do CPU_DEAD migrating under read_lock(tasklist) instead of write_lock_irq(tasklist) From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx> Currently move_task_off_dead_cpu() is called under write_lock_irq(tasklist). This means it can't use task_lock() which is needed to improve migrating to take task's ->cpuset into account. Change the code to call move_task_off_dead_cpu() with irqs enabled, and change migrate_live_tasks() to use read_lock(tasklist). This all is a preparation for the futher changes proposed by Cliff Wickman, see http://marc.info/?t=117327786100003 Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Cliff Wickman <cpw@xxxxxxx> Cc: Gautham R Shenoy <ego@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@xxxxxxx> Cc: Srivatsa Vaddagiri <vatsa@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Akinobu Mita <akinobu.mita@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- kernel/sched.c | 22 ++++++++++++++++------ 1 file changed, 16 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff -puN kernel/sched.c~do-cpu_dead-migrating-under-read_locktasklist-instead-of-write_lock_irqtasklist kernel/sched.c --- a/kernel/sched.c~do-cpu_dead-migrating-under-read_locktasklist-instead-of-write_lock_irqtasklist +++ a/kernel/sched.c @@ -5060,6 +5060,17 @@ wait_to_die: } #ifdef CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU + +static int __migrate_task_irq(struct task_struct *p, int src_cpu, int dest_cpu) +{ + int ret; + + local_irq_disable(); + ret = __migrate_task(p, src_cpu, dest_cpu); + local_irq_enable(); + return ret; +} + /* * Figure out where task on dead CPU should go, use force if neccessary. * NOTE: interrupts should be disabled by the caller @@ -5098,7 +5109,7 @@ static void move_task_off_dead_cpu(int d "longer affine to cpu%d\n", p->pid, p->comm, dead_cpu); } - } while (!__migrate_task(p, dead_cpu, dest_cpu)); + } while (!__migrate_task_irq(p, dead_cpu, dest_cpu)); } /* @@ -5126,7 +5137,7 @@ static void migrate_live_tasks(int src_c { struct task_struct *p, *t; - write_lock_irq(&tasklist_lock); + read_lock(&tasklist_lock); do_each_thread(t, p) { if (p == current) @@ -5136,7 +5147,7 @@ static void migrate_live_tasks(int src_c move_task_off_dead_cpu(src_cpu, p); } while_each_thread(t, p); - write_unlock_irq(&tasklist_lock); + read_unlock(&tasklist_lock); } /* @@ -5214,11 +5225,10 @@ static void migrate_dead(unsigned int de * Drop lock around migration; if someone else moves it, * that's OK.
