531295e Amit Shah 20 October 2010, 03:15:43 UTC virtio: console: Don't block entire guest if host doesn't read data If the host is slow in reading data or doesn't read data at all, blocking write calls not only blocked the program that called write() but the entire guest itself. To overcome this, let's not block till the host signals it has given back the virtio ring element we passed it. Instead, send the buffer to the host and return to userspace. This operation then becomes similar to how non-blocking writes work, so let's use the existing code for this path as well. This code change also ensures blocking write calls do get blocked if there's not enough room in the virtio ring as well as they don't return -EAGAIN to userspace.

63f1474 Sascha Hauer 18 October 2010, 08:16:26 UTC mxc_nand: do not depend on disabling the irq in the interrupt handler This patch reverts the driver to enabling/disabling the NFC interrupt mask rather than enabling/disabling the system interrupt. This cleans up the driver so that it doesn't rely on interrupts being disabled within the interrupt handler. For i.MX21 we keep the current behaviour, that is calling enable_irq/disable_irq_nosync to enable/disable interrupts. This patch is based on earlier work by John Ogness.

e39428d Marc Kleine-Budde 21 June 2010, 07:27:05 UTC i2c-imx: do not allow interruptions when waiting for I2C to complete The i2c_imx_trx_complete() function is using wait_event_interruptible_timeout() to wait for the I2C controller to signal that it has completed an I2C bus operation. If the process that causes the I2C operation receives a signal, the wait will be interrupted, returning an error. It is better to let the I2C operation finished before handling the signal (i.e. returning into userspace). It is safe to use wait_event_timeout() instead, because the timeout will allow the process to exit if the I2C bus hangs. It's also better to allow the I2C operation to finish, because unacknowledged I2C operations can cause the I2C bus to hang.

It caused massive slow-down and data corruption with a TSB82AA2 based StarTech EC1394B2 ExpressCard and FireWire 800 harddisks. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/657081 http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.firewire.user/4013 The fact that some card EEPROMs do not program these enhancements may be related to TSB81BA3 phy chip errata, if not to bugs of TSB82AA2 itself.

3e645d6 Linus Torvalds 15 October 2010, 18:12:38 UTC v4l1: fix 32-bit compat microcode loading translation The compat code for the VIDIOCSMICROCODE ioctl is totally buggered. It's only used by the VIDEO_STRADIS driver, and that one is scheduled to staging and eventually removed unless somebody steps up to maintain it (at which point it should use request_firmware() rather than some magic ioctl). So we'll get rid of it eventually. But in the meantime, the compatibility ioctl code is broken, and this tries to get it to at least limp along (even if Mauro suggested just deleting it entirely, which may be the right thing to do - I don't think the compatibility translation code has ever worked unless you were very lucky).

799c105 Linus Torvalds 15 October 2010, 18:09:28 UTC De-pessimize rds_page_copy_user Don't try to "optimize" rds_page_copy_user() by using kmap_atomic() and the unsafe atomic user mode accessor functions. It's actually slower than the straightforward code on any reasonable modern CPU. Back when the code was written (although probably not by the time it was actually merged, though), 32-bit x86 may have been the dominant architecture. And there kmap_atomic() can be a lot faster than kmap() (unless you have very good locality, in which case the virtual address caching by kmap() can overcome all the downsides). But these days, x86-64 may not be more populous, but it's getting there (and if you care about performance, it's definitely already there - you'd have upgraded your CPU's already in the last few years). And on x86-64, the non-kmap_atomic() version is faster, simply because the code is simpler and doesn't have the "re-try page fault" case. People with old hardware are not likely to care about RDS anyway, and the optimization for the 32-bit case is simply buggy, since it doesn't verify the user addresses properly.

When issuing fails due to memory pressure or other reasons, the device is put on the restart list and issuing stops. On IO completion, devices on the restart list are scanned and IO issuing is restarted. ubd issues IOs sg-by-sg and issuing can be stopped in the middle of a request, so each device on the restart queue needs to remember where to restart in its current request. ubd needs to keep track of the issue position itself because, * blk_rq_pos(req) is now updated by the block layer to keep track of _completion_ position. * Multiple io_req's for the current request may be in flight, so it's difficult to tell where blk_rq_pos(req) currently is. Add ubd->rq_pos to keep track of the issue position and use it to correctly restart io_req issue.

This switch does not present the usual register interface of a PHY, it presents nothing. So a PHY scan will find nothing - it finds ID's of 0 for each PHY on the attached MII bus. After the FEC driver was changed to use phylib for supporting PHYs it no longer works on this particular board/switch setup. Add code support to use a fixed phy if no PHY is found on the MII bus.

Each page of the ring buffer holds a full 64 bit timestamp. Each event has a 27 bit delta stamp from the last event. The unit of time is nanoseconds, so 27 bits can hold ~134 milliseconds. If two events happen more than 134 milliseconds apart, a time extend is inserted to add more bits for the delta. The time extend has 59 bits, which is good for ~18 years. Currently the time extend is committed separately from the event. If an event is discarded before it is committed, due to filtering, the time extend still exists. If all events are being filtered, then after ~134 milliseconds a new time extend will be added to the buffer. This can only happen till the end of the page. Since each page holds a full timestamp, there is no reason to add a time extend to the beginning of a page. Time extends can only fill a page that has actual data at the beginning, so there is no fear that time extends will fill more than a page without any data. When reading an event, a loop is made to skip over time extends since they are only used to maintain the time stamp and are never given to the caller. As a paranoid check to prevent the loop running forever, with the knowledge that time extends may only fill a page, a check is made that tests the iteration of the loop, and if the iteration is more than the number of time extends that can fit in a page a warning is printed and the ring buffer is disabled (all of ftrace is also disabled with it). There is another event type that is called a TIMESTAMP which can hold 64 bits of data in the theoretical case that two events happen 18 years apart. This code has not been implemented, but the name of this event exists, as well as the structure for it. The size of a TIMESTAMP is 16 bytes, where as a time extend is only 8 bytes. The macro used to calculate how many time extends can fit on a page used the TIMESTAMP size instead of the time extend size cutting the amount in half. The following test case can easily trigger the warning since we only need to have half the page filled with time extends to trigger the warning: # cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/ # echo function > current_tracer # echo 'common_pid < 0' > events/ftrace/function/filter # echo > trace # echo 1 > trace_marker # sleep 120 # cat trace Enabling the function tracer and then setting the filter to only trace functions where the process id is negative (no events), then clearing the trace buffer to ensure that we have nothing in the buffer, then write to trace_marker to add an event to the beginning of a page, sleep for 2 minutes (only 35 seconds is probably needed, but this guarantees the bug), and then finally reading the trace which will trigger the bug. This patch fixes the typo and prevents the false positive of that warning. Reported-by: Hans J. Koch <hjk@linutronix.de> Tested-by: Hans J.

7c53477 Eric Paris 11 October 2010, 22:13:31 UTC fanotify: disable fanotify syscalls This patch disables the fanotify syscalls by just not building them and letting the cond_syscall() statements in kernel/sys_ni.c redirect them to sys_ni_syscall(). It was pointed out by Tvrtko Ursulin that the fanotify interface did not include an explicit prioritization between groups. This is necessary for fanotify to be usable for hierarchical storage management software, as they must get first access to the file, before inotify-like notifiers see the file. This feature can be added in an ABI compatible way in the next release (by using a number of bits in the flags field to carry the info) but it was suggested by Alan that maybe we should just hold off and do it in the next cycle, likely with an (new) explicit argument to the syscall. I don't like this approach best as I know people are already starting to use the current interface, but Alan is all wise and noone on list backed me up with just using what we have. I feel this is needlessly ripping the rug out from under people at the last minute, but if others think it needs to be a new argument it might be the best way forward. Three choices: Go with what we got (and implement the new feature next cycle). Add a new field right now (and implement the new feature next cycle). Wait till next cycle to release the ABI (and implement the new feature next cycle). This is number 3.
