[PATCH] stopmachine: add stopmachine_timeout v4
From: Hidetoshi Seto
Date: Thu Jul 17 2008 - 02:15:08 EST
If stop_machine() invoked while one of onlined cpu is locked up
by some reason, stop_machine cannot finish its work because the
locked cpu cannot stop. This means all other healthy cpus
will be blocked infinitely by one dead cpu.
This patch allows stop_machine to return -EBUSY with some printk
messages if any of stop_machine's threads cannot start running on
its target cpu in time. You can enable this timeout via sysctl.
v4:
- move extern into linux/stop_machine.h and add include of the
header to kernel/sysctl.c. Now stopmachine_timeout is available
only on smp.
v3:
- set stopmachine_timeout default to 0 (= never timeout)
v2:
- remove fix for warning since it will be fixed upcoming typesafe
patches
- make stopmachine_timeout from secs to msecs
- allow disabling timeout by setting the stopmachine_timeout to 0
