17 years ago[NET]: rt_check_expire() can take a long time, add a cond_resched()
Eric Dumazet [Thu, 15 Nov 2007 00:14:05 +0000 (16:14 -0800)]
[NET]: rt_check_expire() can take a long time, add a cond_resched()

On commit 39c90ece7565f5c47110c2fa77409d7a9478bd5b:

[IPV4]: Convert rt_check_expire() from softirq processing to workqueue.

we converted rt_check_expire() from softirq to workqueue, allowing the
function to perform all work it was supposed to do.

When the IP route cache is big, rt_check_expire() can take a long time
to run.  (default settings : 20% of the hash table is scanned at each
invocation)

Adding cond_resched() helps giving cpu to higher priority tasks if
necessary.

Using a "if (need_resched())" test before calling "cond_resched();" is
necessary to avoid spending too much time doing the resched check.
(My tests gave a time reduction from 88 ms to 25 ms per
rt_check_expire() run on my i686 test machine)

[TCP]: Fix size calculation in sk_stream_alloc_pskb

We round up the header size in sk_stream_alloc_pskb so that
TSO packets get zero tail room.  Unfortunately this rounding
up is not coordinated with the select_size() function used by
TCP to calculate the second parameter of sk_stream_alloc_pskb.

As a result, we may allocate more than a page of data in the
non-TSO case when exactly one page is desired.

In fact, rounding up the head room is detrimental in the non-TSO
case because it makes memory that would otherwise be available to
the payload head room.  TSO doesn't need this either, all it wants
is the guarantee that there is no tail room.

So this patch fixes this by adjusting the skb_reserve call so that
exactly the requested amount (which all callers have calculated in
a precise way) is made available as tail room.

17 years agoRevert "ext2/ext3/ext4: add block bitmap validation"
Linus Torvalds [Tue, 13 Nov 2007 16:07:31 +0000 (08:07 -0800)]
Revert "ext2/ext3/ext4: add block bitmap validation"

This reverts commit 7c9e69faa28027913ee059c285a5ea8382e24b5d, fixing up
conflicts in fs/ext4/balloc.c manually.

The cost of doing the bitmap validation on each lookup - even when the
bitmap is cached - is absolutely prohibitive.  We could, and probably
should, do it only when adding the bitmap to the buffer cache.  However,
right now we are better off just reverting it.

Peter Zijlstra measured the cost of this extra validation as a 85%
decrease in cached iozone, and while I had a patch that took it down to
just 17% by not being _quite_ so stupid in the validation, it was still
a big slowdown that could have been avoided by just doing it right.

[SUNGEM]: Fix suspend regression due to NAPI changes.

Commit bea3348e (the NAPI changes) made sungem unconditionally enable
NAPI when resuming and unconditionally disable when suspending, this,
however, makes napi_disable() hang when suspending when the interface
was taken down before suspend because taking the interface down also
disables NAPI. This patch makes touching the napi struct in
suspend/resume code paths depend on having the interface up, thereby
fixing the hang on suspend.

The patch also moves the napi_disable() in gem_close() under the lock so
that the NAPI state is always modified atomically together with the
"opened" variable.

core dump: remain dumpable

The coredump code always calls set_dumpable(0) when it starts (even
if RLIMIT_CORE prevents any core from being dumped).  The effect of
this (via task_dumpable) is to make /proc/pid/* files owned by root
instead of the user, so the user can no longer examine his own
process--in a case where there was never any privileged data to
protect.  This affects e.g. auxv, environ, fd; in Fedora (execshield)
kernels, also maps.  In practice, you can only notice this when a
debugger has requested PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT tracing.

set_dumpable was only used in do_coredump for synchronization and not
intended for any security purpose.  (It doesn't secure anything that wasn't
already unsecured when a process dies by SIGTERM instead of SIGQUIT.)

This changes do_coredump to check the core_waiters count as the means of
synchronization, which is sufficient.  Now we leave the "dumpable" bits alone.

conditionally upon CONFIG_MAC80211_DEBUG.  They have been useful for
finding certain problems in the past, but in many cases they just

A typical example is an enviornment where multiple SSIDs are using a

for each SSID.  In such an environment these messages are just noise.
