Freezer: make kernel threads nonfreezable by default

2007-07-17T17:23:02+00:00

Currently, the freezer treats all tasks as freezable, except for the kernel threads that explicitly set the PF_NOFREEZE flag for themselves. This approach is problematic, since it requires every kernel thread to either set PF_NOFREEZE explicitly, or call try_to_freeze(), even if it doesn't care for the freezing of tasks at all. It seems better to only require the kernel threads that want to or need to be frozen to use some freezer-related code and to remove any freezer-related code from the other (nonfreezable) kernel threads, which is done in this patch. The patch causes all kernel threads to be nonfreezable by default (ie. to have PF_NOFREEZE set by default) and introduces the set_freezable() function that should be called by the freezable kernel threads in order to unset PF_NOFREEZE. It also makes all of the currently freezable kernel threads call set_freezable(), so it shouldn't cause any (intentional) change of behaviour to appear. Additionally, it updates documentation to describe the freezing of tasks more accurately. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: build fixes] Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

header cleaning: don't include smp_lock.h when not used

Remove includes of where it is not used/needed. Suggested by Al Viro. Builds cleanly on x86_64, i386, alpha, ia64, powerpc, sparc, sparc64, and arm (all 59 defconfigs). Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] i386: Add machine_ops interface to abstract halting and rebooting

2007-05-02T17:27:11+00:00

machine_ops is an interface for the machine_* functions defined in . This is intended to allow hypervisors to intercept the reboot process, but it could be used to implement other x86 subarchtecture reboots. Signed-off-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen

[PATCH] mark struct file_operations const 2

2007-02-12T17:48:44+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.
