unify flush_work/flush_work_keventd and rename it to cancel_work_sync

2007-05-09T19:30:53+00:00

flush_work(wq, work) doesn't need the first parameter, we can use cwq->wq
(this was possible from the very beginnig, I missed this).  So we can unify
flush_work_keventd and flush_work.

Also, rename flush_work() to cancel_work_sync() and fix all callers.
Perhaps this is not the best name, but "flush_work" is really bad.

(akpm: this is why the earlier patches bypassed maintainers)

ipvs: flush defense_work before module unload

2007-05-09T19:30:52+00:00

net/ipv4/ipvs/ip_vs_core.c

	module_exit
	    ip_vs_cleanup
		ip_vs_control_cleanup
		    cancel_rearming_delayed_work
	// done

This is unsafe.  The module may be unloaded and the memory may be freed
while defense_work's handler is still running/preempted.

Do flush_work(&defense_work.work) after cancel_rearming_delayed_work().

Alternatively, we could add flush_work() to cancel_rearming_delayed_work(),
but note that we can't change cancel_delayed_work() in the same manner
because it may be called from atomic context.

[PATCH] sysctl: remove insert_at_head from register_sysctl

2007-02-14T16:09:59+00:00

The semantic effect of insert_at_head is that it would allow new registered
sysctl entries to override existing sysctl entries of the same name.  Which is
pain for caching and the proc interface never implemented.

I have done an audit and discovered that none of the current users of
register_sysctl care as (excpet for directories) they do not register
duplicate sysctl entries.

So this patch simply removes the support for overriding existing entries in
the sys_sysctl interface since no one uses it or cares and it makes future
enhancments harder.

[PATCH] mark struct file_operations const 7

2007-02-12T17:48:46+00:00

Many struct file_operations in the kernel can be "const".  Marking them const
moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
dirty data.  In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to
these shared resources.

[IPVS]: Cleanup IP_VS_DBG statements.

2006-01-03T22:22:59+00:00

From: Roberto Nibali 

The attached patch (against current -GIT) is a cleanup patch which does
following:

o lookup debug messages shifted back to 9
o added more informational value to flags and refcnt since those
entries can be in multiple referenced structures
o cleanup 80 char violation

It's the prepatch to the session pool implementation and helps very much
to debug and monitor important variables and structures regarding the
threshold limitation and persistency without the thousands of lookup
messages which noone is interested in.
