2009-01-05stop_machine: introduce stop_machine_create/destroy.Heiko Carstens1-0/+22
Introduce stop_machine_create/destroy. With this interface subsystems that need a non-failing stop_machine environment can create the stop_machine machine threads before actually calling stop_machine. When the threads aren't needed anymore they can be killed with stop_machine_destroy again. When stop_machine gets called and the threads aren't present they will be created and destroyed automatically. This restores the old behaviour of stop_machine. This patch also converts cpu hotplug to the new interface since it is special: cpu_down calls __stop_machine instead of stop_machine. However the kstop threads will only be created when stop_machine gets called. Changing the code so that the threads would be created automatically on __stop_machine is currently not possible: when __stop_machine gets called we hold cpu_add_remove_lock, which is the same lock that create_rt_workqueue would take. So the workqueue needs to be created before the cpu hotplug code locks cpu_add_remove_lock.

2009-01-01cpumask: convert rest of files in kernel/Rusty Russell1-3/+3
Impact: Reduce stack usage, use new cpumask API. Mainly changing cpumask_t to 'struct cpumask' and similar simple API conversion. Two conversions worth mentioning: 1) we use cpumask_any_but to avoid a temporary in kernel/softlockup.c, 2) Use cpumask_var_t in taskstats_user_cmd().

2008-08-25stop_machine: Remove deprecated stop_machine_runRusty Russell1-18/+1
Everyone should be using stop_machine() now. The staged API transition helped life in linux-next. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2008-07-28stop_machine(): stop_machine_run() changed to use cpu maskRusty Russell1-10/+24
Instead of a "cpu" arg with magic values NR_CPUS (any cpu) and ~0 (all cpus), pass a cpumask_t. Allow NULL for the common case (where we don't care which CPU the function is run on): temporary cpumask_t's are usually considered bad for stack space. This deprecates stop_machine_run, to be removed soon when all the callers are dead. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2008-07-28Simplify stop_machineRusty Russell1-12/+8
stop_machine creates a kthread which creates kernel threads. We can create those threads directly and simplify things a little. Some care must be taken with CPU hotunplug, which has special needs, but that code seems more robust than it was in the past.

2008-07-28stop_machine: add ALL_CPUS optionJason Baron1-1/+7
-allow stop_mahcine_run() to call a function on all cpus. Calling stop_machine_run() with a 'ALL_CPUS' invokes this new behavior. stop_machine_run() proceeds as normal until the calling cpu has invoked 'fn'. Then, we tell all the other cpus to call 'fn'.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
