a84a79e Linus Torvalds 17 October 2011, 15:24:24 UTC Avoid using variable-length arrays in kernel/sys.c The size is always valid, but variable-length arrays generate worse code for no good reason (unless the function happens to be inlined and the compiler sees the length for the simple constant it is). Also, there seems to be some code generation problem on POWER, where Henrik Bakken reports that register r28 can get corrupted under some subtle circumstances (interrupt happening at the wrong time?). That all indicates some seriously broken compiler issues, but since variable length arrays are bad regardless, there's little point in trying to chase it down. "Just don't do that, then".

This caused "sensors" and possibly other monitoring tools to report these sensors as "transistor" instead of "thermal diode". Furthermore, diode subtype selection (CPU vs. external) is only supported by the original W83627EHF/EHG. All later models only support CPU diode type, and some (NCT6776F) don't even have the register in question so we should avoid reading from it.

0030807 Christoph Hellwig 11 October 2011, 15:14:10 UTC xfs: revert to using a kthread for AIL pushing Currently we have a few issues with the way the workqueue code is used to implement AIL pushing: - it accidentally uses the same workqueue as the syncer action, and thus can be prevented from running if there are enough sync actions active in the system. - it doesn't use the HIGHPRI flag to queue at the head of the queue of work items At this point I'm not confident enough in getting all the workqueue flags and tweaks right to provide a perfectly reliable execution context for AIL pushing, which is the most important piece in XFS to make forward progress when the log fills. Revert back to use a kthread per filesystem which fixes all the above issues at the cost of having a task struct and stack around for each mounted filesystem. In addition this also gives us much better ways to diagnose any issues involving hung AIL pushing and removes a small amount of code.

Otherwise heavy lock contention might starve AIL pushing too easily, especially given the larger backoff once we moved xa_last_pushed_lsn all the way to the target lsn.

f7f43cc Chris Mason 11 October 2011, 15:41:40 UTC Btrfs: make sure not to defrag extents past i_size The btrfs file defrag code will loop through the extents and force COW on them. But there is a concurrent truncate in the middle of the defrag, it might end up defragging the same range over and over again. The problem is that writepage won't go through and do anything on pages past i_size, so the cow won't happen, so the file will appear to still be fragmented. defrag will end up hitting the same extents again and again. In the worst case, the truncate can actually live lock with the defrag because the defrag keeps creating new ordered extents which the truncate code keeps waiting on. The fix here is to make defrag check for i_size inside the main loop, instead of just once before the looping starts. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com> 11 October 2011, 15:45:55 UTC

It's because writeback writes [8K, 200K] and then writes [0, 8K]. I tried to make writeback know if the pages are dirtied by defrag, but the patch was a bit intrusive.

c5d6136 Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo 10 October 2011, 06:42:23 UTC mlx4_en: fix endianness with blue frame support The doorbell register was being unconditionally swapped. In x86, that meant it was being swapped to BE and written to the descriptor and to memory, depending on the case of blue frame support or writing to doorbell register. On PPC, this meant it was being swapped to LE and then swapped back to BE while writing to the register. But in the blue frame case, it was being written as LE to the descriptor. The fix is not to swap doorbell unconditionally, write it to the register as BE and convert it to BE when writing it to the descriptor.

Some users use the bridge like a dummy device. They expect to be able to put an IPv6 address on the device with no ports attached. Although there are better ways of doing this, there is no reason to not allow it. Note: the bridge still will reflect the state of ports in the bridge if there are any added.

So tcp_shifted_skb() does not need to adjust the lost_cnt_hint by itself. When shifting a skb that is equal to lost_skb_hint, the shifted packets will not be counted by tcp_mark_head_lost().

However, ide_requeue_and_plug() can be called more than once per request, either from the request issue or the IRQ handler path and do blk_peek_request() ends up in idedisk_prep_fn() repeatedly, allocating a struct ide_cmd everytime and "forgetting" the previous pointer.

7091fbd Willem de Bruijn 30 September 2011, 10:38:28 UTC make PACKET_STATISTICS getsockopt report consistently between ring and non-ring This is a minor change. Up until kernel 2.6.32, getsockopt(fd, SOL_PACKET, PACKET_STATISTICS, ...) would return total and dropped packets since its last invocation. The introduction of socket queue overflow reporting [1] changed drop rate calculation in the normal packet socket path, but not when using a packet ring. As a result, the getsockopt now returns different statistics depending on the reception method used. With a ring, it still returns the count since the last call, as counts are incremented in tpacket_rcv and reset in getsockopt. Without a ring, it returns 0 if no drops occurred since the last getsockopt and the total drops over the lifespan of the socket otherwise. The culprit is this line in packet_rcv, executed on a drop: drop_n_acct: po->stats.tp_drops = atomic_inc_return(&sk->sk_drops); As it shows, the new drop number it taken from the socket drop counter, which is not reset at getsockopt. I put together a small example that demonstrates the issue [2]. It runs for 10 seconds and overflows the queue/ring on every odd second. The reported drop rates are: ring: 16, 0, 16, 0, 16, ... non-ring: 0, 15, 0, 30, 0, 46, 0, 60, 0 , 74. Note how the even ring counts monotonically increase. Because the getsockopt adds tp_drops to tp_packets, total counts are similarly reported cumulatively. Long story short, reinstating the original code, as the below patch does, fixes the issue at the cost of additional per-packet cycles. Another solution that does not introduce per-packet overhead is be to keep the current data path, record the value of sk_drops at getsockopt() at call N in a new field in struct packetsock and subtract that when reporting at call N+1. I'll be happy to code that, instead, it's just more messy.

d0e5d83 David Vrabel 30 September 2011, 06:37:51 UTC net: xen-netback: correctly restart Tx after a VM restore/migrate If a VM is saved and restored (or migrated) the netback driver will no longer process any Tx packets from the frontend. xenvif_up() does not schedule the processing of any pending Tx requests from the front end because the carrier is off. Without this initial kick the frontend just adds Tx requests to the ring without raising an event (until the ring is full). This was caused by 47103041e91794acdbc6165da0ae288d844c820b (net: xen-netback: convert to hw_features) which reordered the calls to xenvif_up() and netif_carrier_on() in xenvif_connect().

a0db2da Andy Gospodarek 23 September 2011, 10:53:34 UTC bonding: properly stop queuing work when requested During a test where a pair of bonding interfaces using ARP monitoring were both brought up and torn down (with an rmmod) repeatedly, a panic in the timer code was noticed. I tracked this down and determined that any of the bonding functions that ran as workqueue handlers and requeued more work might not properly exit when the module was removed. There was a flag protected by the bond lock called kill_timers that is set when the interface goes down or the module is removed, but many of the functions that monitor link status now unlock the bond lock to take rtnl first. There is a chance that another CPU running the rmmod could get the lock and set kill_timers after the first check has passed. This patch does not allow any function to queue work that will make itself run unless kill_timers is not set. I also noticed while doing this work that bond_resend_igmp_join_requests did not have a check for kill_timers, so I added the needed call there as well.

I debugged this down to the abort handling improperly treating a command of type SRB_ADISC_CMD as if it had a bsg_job to complete when that command actually uses the iocb_cmd part of the union. (I guess to hit this one has to unload the module while the async FC initialization is still in progress) It seems we should only look for a bsg_job if type is SRB_ELS_CMD_RPT, SRB_ELS_CMD_HST or SRB_CT_CMD, so switch the test to make that explicit.

It turns out it's because we were doing a short write on a not uptodate page, which means we'd fall back at one page at a time and fault the page in. The problem is our position is on the page boundary, so our fault in logic wasn't actually reading the page, so we'd just spin forever or until the page got read in by somebody else. This will force a readpage if we end up doing a short copy. Alexandre could reproduce this easily with ceph and reports it fixes his problem.

MMC1 is based on SDMMC1_VDDS whereas USBC1 is based on SIM_VDDS therefore they can operate independently.

d670ec1 Peter Zijlstra 01 September 2011, 10:42:04 UTC posix-cpu-timers: Cure SMP wobbles David reported: Attached below is a watered-down version of rt/tst-cpuclock2.c from GLIBC. Just build it with "gcc -o test test.c -lpthread -lrt" or similar. Run it several times, and you will see cases where the main thread will measure a process clock difference before and after the nanosleep which is smaller than the cpu-burner thread's individual thread clock difference. This doesn't make any sense since the cpu-burner thread is part of the top-level process's thread group. I've reproduced this on both x86-64 and sparc64 (using both 32-bit and 64-bit binaries). For example: [davem@boricha build-x86_64-linux]$ ./test process: before(0.001221967) after(0.498624371) diff(497402404) thread: before(0.000081692) after(0.498316431) diff(498234739) self: before(0.001223521) after(0.001240219) diff(16698) [davem@boricha build-x86_64-linux]$ The diff of 'process' should always be >= the diff of 'thread'. I make sure to wrap the 'thread' clock measurements the most tightly around the nanosleep() call, and that the 'process' clock measurements are the outer-most ones. --- #include <unistd.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <time.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <string.h> #include <errno.h> #include <pthread.h> static pthread_barrier_t barrier; static void *chew_cpu(void *arg) { pthread_barrier_wait(&barrier); while (1) __asm__ __volatile__("" : : : "memory"); return NULL; } int main(void) { clockid_t process_clock, my_thread_clock, th_clock; struct timespec process_before, process_after; struct timespec me_before, me_after; struct timespec th_before, th_after; struct timespec sleeptime; unsigned long diff; pthread_t th; int err; err = clock_getcpuclockid(0, &process_clock); if (err) return 1; err = pthread_getcpuclockid(pthread_self(), &my_thread_clock); if (err) return 1; pthread_barrier_init(&barrier, NULL, 2); err = pthread_create(&th, NULL, chew_cpu, NULL); if (err) return 1; err = pthread_getcpuclockid(th, &th_clock); if (err) return 1; pthread_barrier_wait(&barrier); err = clock_gettime(process_clock, &process_before); if (err) return 1; err = clock_gettime(my_thread_clock, &me_before); if (err) return 1; err = clock_gettime(th_clock, &th_before); if (err) return 1; sleeptime.tv_sec = 0; sleeptime.tv_nsec = 500000000; nanosleep(&sleeptime, NULL); err = clock_gettime(th_clock, &th_after); if (err) return 1; err = clock_gettime(my_thread_clock, &me_after); if (err) return 1; err = clock_gettime(process_clock, &process_after); if (err) return 1; diff = process_after.tv_nsec - process_before.tv_nsec; printf("process: before(%lu.%.9lu) after(%lu.%.9lu) diff(%lu)\n", process_before.tv_sec, process_before.tv_nsec, process_after.tv_sec, process_after.tv_nsec, diff); diff = th_after.tv_nsec - th_before.tv_nsec; printf("thread: before(%lu.%.9lu) after(%lu.%.9lu) diff(%lu)\n", th_before.tv_sec, th_before.tv_nsec, th_after.tv_sec, th_after.tv_nsec, diff); diff = me_after.tv_nsec - me_before.tv_nsec; printf("self: before(%lu.%.9lu) after(%lu.%.9lu) diff(%lu)\n", me_before.tv_sec, me_before.tv_nsec, me_after.tv_sec, me_after.tv_nsec, diff); return 0; } This is due to us using p->se.sum_exec_runtime in thread_group_cputime() where we iterate the thread group and sum all data. This does not take time since the last schedule operation (tick or otherwise) into account. We can cure this by using task_sched_runtime() at the cost of having to take locks. This also means we can (and must) do away with thread_group_sched_runtime() since the modified thread_group_cputime() is now more accurate and would deadlock when called from thread_group_sched_runtime(). Aside of that it makes the function safe on 32 bit systems. The old code added t->se.sum_exec_runtime unprotected. sum_exec_runtime is a 64bit value and could be changed on another cpu at the same time.
