55922c9 Linus Torvalds 30 May 2011, 00:43:36 UTC Linux 3.0-rc1 .. except there are various scripts that really know that there are three numbers, so it calls itself "3.0.0-rc1". Hopefully by the time the final 3.0 is out, we'll have that extra zero all figured out. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> 30 May 2011, 00:43:36 UTC

3063287 Tyler Hicks 24 May 2011, 10:11:12 UTC eCryptfs: Remove ecryptfs_header_cache_2 Now that ecryptfs_lookup_interpose() is no longer using ecryptfs_header_cache_2 to read in metadata, the kmem_cache can be removed and the ecryptfs_header_cache_1 kmem_cache can be renamed to ecryptfs_header_cache.

778aeb4 Tyler Hicks 24 May 2011, 09:56:23 UTC eCryptfs: Cleanup and optimize ecryptfs_lookup_interpose() ecryptfs_lookup_interpose() has turned into spaghetti code over the years. This is an effort to clean it up. - Shorten overly descriptive variable names such as ecryptfs_dentry - Simplify gotos and error paths - Create helper function for reading plaintext i_size from metadata It also includes an optimization when reading i_size from the metadata. A complete page-sized kmem_cache_alloc() was being done to read in 16 bytes of metadata. The buffer for that is now statically declared.

adb5853 Boaz Harrosh 26 May 2011, 18:49:46 UTC pnfs-obj: report errors and .encode_layoutreturn Implementation. An io_state pre-allocates an error information structure for each possible osd-device that might error during IO. When IO is done if all was well the io_state is freed. (as today). If the I/O has ended with an error, the io_state is queued on a per-layout err_list. When eventually encode_layoutreturn() is called, each error is properly encoded on the XDR buffer and only then the io_state is removed from err_list and de-allocated. It is up to the io_engine to fill in the segment that fault and the type of osd_error that occurred. By calling objlayout_io_set_result() for each failing device.

ae50c0b J. Bruce Fields 22 May 2011, 16:48:21 UTC pnfs: client stats A pNFS client auto-negotiates a lot of features (minorversion level, pNFS layout type, etc.). This is convenient, but makes certain kinds of failures hard for a user to detect. For example, if the client falls back on 4.0, or falls back to MDS IO because the user didn't connect to the right iscsi disks before mounting, the only symptoms may be reduced performance, which may not be noticed till long after the actual failure, and may be difficult for a user to diagnose. However, such "failures" may also be perfectly normal in some cases, so we don't want to spam the system logs with them. One approach would be to put some more information into /proc/self/mountstats.

5ccf920 Tyler Hicks 24 May 2011, 07:16:51 UTC eCryptfs: Cleanup inode initialization code The eCryptfs inode get, initialization, and dentry interposition code has two separate paths. One is for when dentry interposition is needed after doing things like a mkdir in the lower filesystem and the other is needed after a lookup. Unlocking new inodes and doing a d_add() needs to happen at different times, depending on which type of dentry interposing is being done. This patch cleans up the inode get and initialization code paths and splits them up so that the locking and d_add() differences mentioned above can be handled appropriately in a later patch.

This patch changes it to reserve a fixed number - itself still chosen quite arbitrarily. Further testing might show if there is a better number to choose. Note that if there is no memory pressure, we can still allocate an arbitrary number of "struct io" structures. One structure is enough to process the whole request.

The spinlock is only taken on initialization or from single-threaded workqueue. Therefore, the spinlock is useless. The spinlock is taken in kcopyd_get_pages and kcopyd_put_pages. kcopyd_get_pages is only called from run_pages_job, which is only called from process_jobs called from do_work. kcopyd_put_pages is called from client_alloc_pages (which is initialization function) or from run_complete_job. run_complete_job is only called from process_jobs called from do_work. Another spinlock, kc->job_lock is taken each time someone pushes or pops some work for the worker thread. Once we take kc->job_lock, we guarantee that any written memory is visible to the other CPUs.

c6ea41f Mikulas Patocka 29 May 2011, 12:03:00 UTC dm kcopyd: preallocate sub jobs to avoid deadlock There's a possible theoretical deadlock in dm-kcopyd because multiple allocations from the same mempool are required to finish a request. Avoid this by preallocating sub jobs. There is a mempool of 512 entries. Each request requires up to 9 entries from the mempool. If we have at least 57 concurrent requests running, the mempool may overflow and mempool allocations may start blocking until another entry is freed to the mempool. Because the same thread is used to free entries to the mempool and allocate entries from the mempool, this may result in a deadlock. This patch changes it so that one mempool entry contains all 9 "struct kcopyd_job" required to fulfill the whole request. The allocation is done only once in dm_kcopyd_copy and no further mempool allocations are done during request processing. If dm_kcopyd_copy is not run in the completion thread, this implementation is deadlock-free. MIN_JOBS needs reducing accordingly and we've chosen to reduce it further to 8.

f4808ca Milan Broz 29 May 2011, 12:02:52 UTC dm table: reject devices without request fns This patch adds a check that a block device has a request function defined before it is used. Otherwise, misconfiguration can cause an oops. Because we are allowing devices with zero size e.g. an offline multipath device as in commit 2cd54d9bedb79a97f014e86c0da393416b264eb3 ("dm: allow offline devices") there needs to be an additional check to ensure devices are initialised. Some block devices, like a loop device without a backing file, exist but have no request function. Reproducer is trivial: dm-mirror on unbound loop device (no backing file on loop devices) dmsetup create x --table "0 8 mirror core 2 8 sync 2 /dev/loop0 0 /dev/loop1 0" and mirror resync will immediatelly cause OOps.

So disable preemption inside of the called functions instead. The only drawback is that rcu_table_freelist_finish() doesn't get necessarily called on the cpu(s) that filled the free lists.

But mwait_idle() has been replaced by the more general mwait_idle_with_hints(), which handles both C1 and deeper C-states. ACPI uses only mwait_idle_with_hints(), and never uses mwait_idle(). Deprecate mwait_idle() and the "idle=mwait" cmdline param to simplify the x86 idle code. After this change, kernels configured with (!CONFIG_ACPI=n && !CONFIG_INTEL_IDLE=n) when run on hardware that support MWAIT will simply use HLT. If MWAIT is desired on those systems, cpuidle and the cpuidle drivers above can be used. cc: x86@kernel.org cc: stable@kernel.org # .39.x Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com> 29 May 2011, 07:39:17 UTC

Currently we have below codes in processor_physically_present, cpuid = acpi_get_cpuid(...); if ((cpuid == -1) && (num_possible_cpus() > 1)) return false; return true; In UP kernel, acpi_get_cpuid(...) always return -1 and num_possible_cpus() always return 1, so processor_physically_present(...) always returns true for all passed in processor handles. This is wrong for UP processor or SMP processor running UP kernel. This patch removes the !SMP version of acpi_get_cpuid(), so both UP and SMP kernel use the same acpi_get_cpuid function. And for UP kernel, only processor 0 is valid. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16548 https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16357 Tested-by: Anton Kochkov <anton.kochkov@gmail.com> Tested-by: Ambroz Bizjak <ambrop7@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Lin Ming <ming.m.lin@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com> 29 May 2011, 06:17:56 UTC

333c5ae Tim Chen 11 February 2011, 20:49:04 UTC idle governor: Avoid lock acquisition to read pm_qos before entering idle Thanks to the reviews and comments by Rafael, James, Mark and Andi. Here's version 2 of the patch incorporating your comments and also some update to my previous patch comments. I noticed that before entering idle state, the menu idle governor will look up the current pm_qos target value according to the list of qos requests received. This look up currently needs the acquisition of a lock to access the list of qos requests to find the qos target value, slowing down the entrance into idle state due to contention by multiple cpus to access this list. The contention is severe when there are a lot of cpus waking and going into idle. For example, for a simple workload that has 32 pair of processes ping ponging messages to each other, where 64 cpu cores are active in test system, I see the following profile with 37.82% of cpu cycles spent in contention of pm_qos_lock: - 37.82% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock_irqsave - _raw_spin_lock_irqsave - 95.65% pm_qos_request menu_select cpuidle_idle_call - cpu_idle 99.98% start_secondary A better approach will be to cache the updated pm_qos target value so reading it does not require lock acquisition as in the patch below. With this patch the contention for pm_qos_lock is removed and I saw a 2.2X increase in throughput for my message passing workload. cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Tim Chen <tim.c.chen@linux.intel.com> Acked-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Acked-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@suse.de> Acked-by: mark gross <markgross@thegnar.org> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com> 29 May 2011, 04:50:59 UTC

eee0f25 Hugh Dickins 28 May 2011, 20:20:21 UTC mm: fix page_lock_anon_vma leaving mutex locked On one machine I've been getting hangs, a page fault's anon_vma_prepare() waiting in anon_vma_lock(), other processes waiting for that page's lock. This is a replay of last year's f18194275c39 "mm: fix hang on anon_vma->root->lock". The new page_lock_anon_vma() places too much faith in its refcount: when it has acquired the mutex_trylock(), it's possible that a racing task in anon_vma_alloc() has just reallocated the struct anon_vma, set refcount to 1, and is about to reset its anon_vma->root. Fix this by saving anon_vma->root, and relying on the usual page_mapped() check instead of a refcount check: if page is still mapped, the anon_vma is still ours; if page is not still mapped, we're no longer interested.

5dbe0af Hugh Dickins 28 May 2011, 20:17:04 UTC mm: fix kernel BUG at mm/rmap.c:1017! I've hit the "address >= vma->vm_end" check in do_page_add_anon_rmap() just once. The stack showed khugepaged allocation trying to compact pages: the call to page_add_anon_rmap() coming from remove_migration_pte(). That path holds anon_vma lock, but does not hold mmap_sem: it can therefore race with a split_vma(), and in commit 5f70b962ccc2 "mmap: avoid unnecessary anon_vma lock" we just took away the anon_vma lock protection when adjusting vma->vm_end. I don't think that particular BUG_ON ever caught anything interesting, so better replace it by a comment, than reinstate the anon_vma locking.

826267c Hugh Dickins 28 May 2011, 20:14:09 UTC tmpfs: fix race between truncate and writepage While running fsx on tmpfs with a memhog then swapoff, swapoff was hanging (interruptibly), repeatedly failing to locate the owner of a 0xff entry in the swap_map. Although shmem_writepage() does abandon when it sees incoming page index is beyond eof, there was still a window in which shmem_truncate_range() could come in between writepage's dropping lock and updating swap_map, find the half-completed swap_map entry, and in trying to free it, leave it in a state that swap_shmem_alloc() could not correct. Arguably a bug in __swap_duplicate()'s and swap_entry_free()'s handling of the different cases, but easiest to fix by moving swap_shmem_alloc() under cover of the lock. More interesting than the bug: it's been there since 2.6.33, why could I not see it with earlier kernels? The mmotm of two weeks ago seems to have some magic for generating races, this is just one of three I found. With yesterday's git I first saw this in mainline, bisected in search of that magic, but the easy reproducibility evaporated. Oh well, fix the bug.
