Thats too bad.  I've been looking at Ingo's SCHED_BATCH design to help 
suspend processes with out lock problems while doing multithreaded core 
dumps.  

Is there any ETA on the return path to user mode clean up?

[PATCH]: scheduler complex macros fixes

[Erich Focht]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 685 bytes --]

The attached patch fixes problems with the "complex" macros in the
scheduler, as discussed about a week ago with Ingo on this mailing list.
On some platforms (at least IA64, sparc64) the RQ lock must be released
before the context switch in order to avoid a potential deadlock. The
macros used in 2.5.26 are buggy and allow the load_balancer to steal the
prev task right before the context switch occurs. If the prev task
exits in the mean time, the kernel crashes.

These fixes are already in Ingo's patches for the SCHED_BATCH extension
but didn't make it into 2.5.26. They are a MUST for the platforms using
complex macros, please consider applying...

Regards,
Erich

Thanks. But as long as SCHED_BATCH ins't in 2.5.X, we need this separate
fix. And if it's in the main tree, you don't need it additionally in
your patches. The fix is O(1) specific and I thought it should not hide
inside the SCHED_BATCH patches, some people might encounter these
problems...

Regards,
Erich

Well, I do actually have objections, mainly because I think it modifies
code that I'd rather have cleaned up in other ways _first_ (ie the return
path to user mode, which has pending irq_count/bh_count/preempt issues
that I consider to be about a million times more important than batch
scheduling).

So I'd rather have the non-batch stuff done first and independently.

thanks for the complete update without the SCHED_BATCH! I was too lazy
to strip out all your changes and I'm sure I would have made mistakes...

the fix has been in my tree for some time, the latest version, against
2.5.26 is at:

  http://people.redhat.com/mingo/O(1)-scheduler/sched-2.5.26-B7

it has a number of other fixes as well, plus the SCHED_BATCH feature.

well, SCHED_BATCH is in fact ready, so we might as well put it in. All the
suggestions mentioned on lkml (or in private) are now included, there are
no pending (known) problems, no objections, and a number of people are
using it with success.

sure - all the non-batch bits are attached, against 2.5.26-vanilla. It
compiles & boots just fine on UP & SMP as well.

oh, there's no fundamental problem here, i'm doing the return-path-cleanup
patch too :-) [which, as a side-effect, also removes the global irq lock.]
I temporarily suspended it for the sake of the SCHED_BATCH feature and
other scheduler maintainance work. But it just got higher priority, so ...
