2010-12-22taskstats: pad taskstats netlink response for aligment issues on ia64Jeff Mahoney1-0/+1
The taskstats structure is internally aligned on 8 byte boundaries but the layout of the aggregrate reply, with two NLA headers and the pid (each 4 bytes), actually force the entire structure to be unaligned. This causes the kernel to issue unaligned access warnings on some architectures like ia64. Unfortunately, some software out there doesn't properly unroll the NLA packet and assumes that the start of the taskstats structure will always be 20 bytes from the start of the netlink payload. Aligning the start of the taskstats structure breaks this software, which we don't want. So, for now the alignment only happens on architectures that require it and those users will have to update to fixed versions of those packages. Space is reserved in the packet only when needed. This ifdef should be removed in several years e.g. 2012 once we can be confident that fixed versions are installed on most systems. We add the padding before the aggregate since the aggregate is already a defined type. Commit 85893120 ("delayacct: align to 8 byte boundary on 64-bit systems") previously addressed the alignment issues by padding out the pid field. This was supposed to be a compatible change but the circumstances described above mean that it wasn't. This patch backs out that change, since it was a hack, and introduces a new NULL attribute type to provide the padding. Padding the response with 4 bytes avoids allocating an aligned taskstats structure and copying it back. Since the structure weighs in at 328 bytes, it's too big to do it on the stack.

2010-12-22mm: vmscan: tracepoint: account for scanned pages similarly for both ftrace ↵Mel Gorman1-1/+10
and vmstat When correlating ftrace results with /proc/vmstat, I noticed that the reporting scripts value for "pages scanned" differed significantly. Both values were "right" depending on how you look at it. The difference is due to vmstat only counting scanning of the inactive list towards pages scanned. The analysis script for the tracepoint counts active and inactive list yielding a far higher value than vmstat. The resulting scanning/reclaim ratio looks much worse. The tracepoint is ok but this patch updates the reporting script so that the report values for scanned are similar to vmstat.

2010-12-16PM / Runtime: Fix pm_runtime_suspended()Rafael J. Wysocki1-2/+2
There are some situations (e.g. in __pm_generic_call()), where pm_runtime_suspended() is used to decide whether or not to execute a device's (system) ->suspend() callback. The callback is not executed if pm_runtime_suspended() returns true, but it does so for devices that don't even support runtime PM, because the power.disable_depth device field is ignored by it. This leads to problems (i.e. devices are not suspened when they should), so rework pm_runtime_suspended() so that it returns false if the device's power.disable_depth field is different from zero.

2010-12-07dccp: Policy-based packet dequeueing infrastructureTomasz Grobelny1-0/+20
This patch adds a generic infrastructure for policy-based dequeueing of TX packets and provides two policies: * a simple FIFO policy (which is the default) and * a priority based policy (set via socket options). Both policies honour the tx_qlen sysctl for the maximum size of the write queue (can be overridden via socket options). The priority policy uses skb->priority internally to assign an u32 priority identifier, using the same ranking as SO_PRIORITY. The skb->priority field is set to 0 when the packet leaves DCCP. The priority is supplied as ancillary data using cmsg(3), the patch also provides the requisite parsing routines.
