This is an update version of last version to fix the handling of polling errors
in vhost/vhost_net.
Currently, vhost and vhost_net ignore polling errors which can lead kernel
crashing when it tries to remove itself from waitqueue after the polling
failure. Fix this by checking the poll->wqh before
Polling errors were ignored by vhost/vhost_net, this may lead to crash when
trying to remove vhost from waitqueue when after the polling is failed. Solve
this problem by:
- checking the poll->wqh before trying to remove from waitqueue
- report an error when poll() returns a POLLERR in vhost_start_
Currently, when vhost_init_used() fails the sock refcnt and ubufs were
leaked. Correct this by calling vhost_init_used() before assign ubufs and
restore the oldsock when it fails.

Currently, the only way to specify no-CBs CPUs is via the rcu_nocbs
kernel command-line parameter. This is inconvenient in some cases,
particularly for randconfig testing, so this commit adds a new
RCU_NOCB_CPU_DEFAULT kernel configuration parameter. Setting this

Currently, CPU 0 is constrained to not be a no-CBs CPU, and furthermore
at least one no-CBs CPU must remain online at any given time. These
restrictions are problematic in some situations, such as cases where
all CPUs must run a real-time workload that needs to be insula
rcu: Provide RCU CPU stall warnings for tiny RCU
Tiny RCU has historically omitted RCU CPU stall warnings in order to
reduce memory requirements, however, lack of these warnings caused Thomas

Currently, callbacks are advanced each time the corresponding CPU

CPUs going idle will need to record the need for a future grace

therefore splits rcu_start_future_gp(), which does the recording, from

Now that callback acceleration is idempotent, it is safe to accelerate
callbacks during grace-period cleanup on any CPUs that the kthread happens
to be running on. This commit therefore propagates the completion

Dyntick-idle CPUs need to be able to pre-announce their need for grace

by no-CB CPUs to announce their need for grace periods. This commit
moves in this direction by renaming the no-CBs grace-period

Now that rcu_start_future_gp() has been abstracted from
rcu_nocb_wait_gp(), rcu_accelerate_cbs() can invoke rcu_start_future_gp()
so as to register the need for any future grace periods needed by a
CPU about to enter dyntick-idle mode. This commit makes this change.

Currently, the per-no-CBs-CPU kthreads are named "rcuo" followed by

Because RCU callbacks are now associated with the number of the grace

This series contains changes to RCU_FAST_NO_HZ idle entry/exit and also
removes restrictions on no-CBs CPUs. This series contains some commits
that are still rather experimental, so you should avoid using these patches
unless you would like to help debug them. ;-)

We recently managed to crash 10 of our test machines at the same time.
Half of the machines were running a 3.1.9 kernel and half were running
3.4.9. I realize that these are both fairly old kernels but I've

Both rcutiny and rcutree define a helper function named
rcu_is_cpu_rrupt_from_idle(), each used exactly once, later in the
same file. This commit therefore declares these helper functions static.
