98ce2de Btrfs: fix abnormal long waiting in fsync xfstests generic/127 detected this problem. With commit 7fc34a62ca4434a79c68e23e70ed26111b7a4cf8, now fsync will only flush data within the passed range. This is the cause of the above problem, -- btrfs's fsync has a stage called 'sync log' which will wait for all the ordered extents it've recorded to finish. In xfstests/generic/127, with mixed operations such as truncate, fallocate, punch hole, and mapwrite, we get some pre-allocated extents, and mapwrite will mmap, and then msync. And I find that msync will wait for quite a long time (about 20s in my case), thanks to ftrace, it turns out that the previous fallocate calls 'btrfs_wait_ordered_range()' to flush dirty pages, but as the range of dirty pages may be larger than 'btrfs_wait_ordered_range()' wants, there can be some ordered extents created but not getting corresponding pages flushed, then they're left in memory until we fsync which runs into the stage 'sync log', and fsync will just wait for the system writeback thread to flush those pages and get ordered extents finished, so the latency is inevitable. This adds a flush similar to btrfs_start_ordered_extent() in btrfs_wait_logged_extents() to fix that.

29e697b irqchip: gic: Fix core ID calculation when topology is read from DT Certain GIC implementation, namely those found on earlier, single cluster, Exynos SoCs, have registers mapped without per-CPU banking, which means that the driver needs to use different offset for each CPU. Currently the driver calculates the offset by multiplying value returned by cpu_logical_map() by CPU offset parsed from DT. This is correct when CPU topology is not specified in DT and aforementioned function returns core ID alone. However when DT contains CPU topology, the function changes to return cluster ID as well, which is non-zero on mentioned SoCs and so breaks the calculation in GIC driver. This patch fixes this by masking out cluster ID in CPU offset calculation so that only core ID is considered. Multi-cluster Exynos SoCs already have banked GIC implementations, so this simple fix should be enough.

97a4f1d GFS2: Allow caching of glocks for flock This patch removes the GLF_NOCACHE flag from the glocks associated with flocks. There should be no good reason not to cache glocks for flocks: they only force the glock to be demoted before they can be reacquired, which can slow down performance and even cause glock hangs, especially in cases where the flocks are held in Shared (SH) mode.

fe0bbd2 GFS2: Use GFP_NOFS when allocating glocks Normally GFP_KERNEL is ok here, but there is now a rarely used code path relating to deallocation of unlinked inodes (in certain corner cases) which if hit at times of memory shortage can cause recursion while trying to free memory. One solution would be to try and move the gfs2_glock_get() call so that it is no longer called while another glock is held, but that doesn't look at all easy, so GFP_NOFS is the best solution for the time being.

94a09a3 GFS2: Fix race in glock lru glock disposal We must not leave items on the LRU list with GLF_LOCK set, since they can be removed if the glock is brought back into use, which may then potentially result in a hang, waiting for GLF_LOCK to clear. It doesn't happen very often, since it requires a glock that has not been used for a long time to be brought back into use at the same moment that the shrinker is part way through disposing of glocks. The fix is to set GLF_LOCK at a later time, when we already know that the other locks can be obtained. Also, we now only release the lru_lock in case a resched is needed, rather than on every iteration. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com> 18 July 2014, 10:12:51 UTC
79272b3 GFS2: Only wait for demote when last holder is dequeued Function gfs2_glock_dq_wait is supposed to dequeue a glock and then wait for the lock to be demoted.

This problem is especially apparent when dealing with nested flocks.

03e9722 ARM: clk-imx6q: parent lvds_sel input from upstream clock gates The i.MX6 reference manual doesn't make a clear distinction between the fixed clock divider and the enable gate for the pcie and sata reference clocks. This lead to the lvds mux inputs in the imx6q clk driver to be parented from the ref clock (which is the divider) instead of the actual gate, which in turn prevents the upstream clock to actually be enabled when lvds clk out is active. This fixes a hard machine hang regression in kernel 3.16 for boards where only pcie is active but no sata, as with this kernel version the imx6-pcie driver is no longer enabling the upstream clock directly but only lvds clk out.

953c664 usb: chipidea: udc: Disable auto ZLP generation on ep0 There are 2 methods for ZLP (zero-length packet) generation: 1) In software 2) Automatic generation by device controller 1) is implemented in UDC driver and it attaches ZLP to IN packet if descriptor->size < wLength 2) can be enabled/disabled by setting ZLT bit in the QH When gadget ffs is connected to ubuntu host, the host sends get descriptor request and wLength in setup packet is 255 while the size of descriptor which will be sent by gadget in IN packet is 64 byte. So the composite driver sets req->zero = 1. In UDC driver following code will be executed then if (hwreq->req.zero && hwreq->req.length && (hwreq->req.length % hwep->ep.maxpacket == 0)) add_td_to_list(hwep, hwreq, 0); Case-A: So in case of ubuntu host, UDC driver will attach a ZLP to the IN packet. ubuntu host will request 255 byte in IN request, gadget will send 64 byte with ZLP and host will come to know that there is no more data. But hold on, by default ZLT=0 for endpoint 0 so hardware also tries to automatically generate the ZLP which blocks enumeration for ~6 seconds due to endpoint 0 STALL, NAKs are sent to host for any requests (OUT/PING) Case-B: In case when gadget ffs is connected to Apple device, Apple device sends setup packet with wLength=64. So descriptor->size = 64 and wLength=64 therefore req->zero = 0 and UDC driver will not attach any ZLP to the IN packet. Apple device requests 64 bytes, gets 64 bytes and doesn't further request for IN data. But ZLT=0 by default for endpoint 0 so hardware tries to automatically generate the ZLP which blocks enumeration for ~6 seconds due to endpoint 0 STALL, NAKs are sent to host for any requests (OUT/PING) According to USB2.0 specs: 8.5.3.2 Variable-length Data Stage A control pipe may have a variable-length data phase in which the host requests more data than is contained in the specified data structure. When all of the data structure is returned to the host, the function should indicate that the Data stage is ended by returning a packet that is shorter than the MaxPacketSize for the pipe. If the data structure is an exact multiple of wMaxPacketSize for the pipe, the function will return a zero-length packet to indicate the end of the Data stage. In Case-A mentioned above: If we disable software ZLP generation & ZLT=0 for endpoint 0 OR if software ZLP generation is not disabled but we set ZLT=1 for endpoint 0 then enumeration doesn't block for 6 seconds. In Case-B mentioned above: If we disable software ZLP generation & ZLT=0 for endpoint then enumeration still blocks due to ZLP automatically generated by hardware and host not needing it. But if we keep software ZLP generation enabled but we set ZLT=1 for endpoint 0 then enumeration doesn't block for 6 seconds. So the proper solution for this issue seems to disable automatic ZLP generation by hardware (i.e by setting ZLT=1 for endpoint 0) and let software (UDC driver) handle the ZLP generation based on req->zero field.

I was cleaning out my INBOX and found two fixes from zhangwei from a year ago that were lost in my mail. These fix an inconsistency between trace_puts() and the way trace_printk() works. The reason this is important to fix is because when trace_printk() doesn't have any arguments, it turns into a trace_puts(). Not being able to enable a stack trace against trace_printk() because it does not have any arguments is quite confusing. Also, the fix is rather trivial and low risk. While porting some changes to PowerPC I discovered that it still has the function graph tracer filter bug that if you also enable stack tracing the function graph tracer filter is ignored. I fixed that up. Finally, Martin Lau, fixed a bug that would cause readers of the ftrace ring buffer to block forever even though it was suppose to be NONBLOCK" This also includes the fix from an earlier pull request: "Oleg Nesterov fixed a memory leak that happens if a user creates a tracing instance, sets up a filter in an event, and then removes that instance.

f53f81b drm/radeon: Prevent too early kms-pageflips triggered by vblank. Since 3.16-rc1 we have this new failure: When the userspace XOrg ddx schedules vblank events to trigger deferred kms-pageflips, e.g., via the OML_sync_control extension call glXSwapBuffersMscOML(), or if a glXSwapBuffers() is called immediately after completion of a previous swapbuffers call, e.g., in a tight rendering loop with minimal rendering, it happens frequently that the pageflip ioctl() is executed within the same vblank in which a previous kms-pageflip completed, or - for deferred swaps - always one vblank earlier than requested by the client app. This causes premature pageflips and detection of failure by the ddx, e.g., XOrg log warnings like... "(WW) RADEON(1): radeon_dri2_flip_event_handler: Pageflip completion event has impossible msc 201025 < target_msc 201026" ... and error/invalid return values of glXWaitForSbcOML() and Intel_swap_events extension. Reason is the new way in which kms-pageflips are programmed since 3.16. This commit changes the time window in which the hw can execute pending programmed pageflips. Before, a pending flip would get executed anywhere within the vblank interval. Now a pending flip only gets executed at the leading edge of vblank (start of front porch), making sure that a invocation of the pageflip ioctl() within a given vblank interval will only lead to pageflip completion in the following vblank.

92c14bd cpufreq: move policy kobj to policy->cpu at resume This is only relevant to implementations with multiple clusters, where clusters have separate clock lines but all CPUs within a cluster share it. Consider a dual cluster platform with 2 cores per cluster. During suspend we start hot unplugging CPUs in order 1 to 3. When CPU2 is removed, policy->kobj would be moved to CPU3 and when CPU3 goes down we wouldn't free policy or its kobj as we want to retain permissions/values/etc. Now on resume, we will get CPU2 before CPU3 and will call __cpufreq_add_dev(). We will recover the old policy and update policy->cpu from 3 to 2 from update_policy_cpu(). But the kobj is still tied to CPU3 and isn't moved to CPU2. We wouldn't create a link for CPU2, but would try that for CPU3 while bringing it online. Which will report errors as CPU3 already has kobj assigned to it. This bug got introduced with commit 42f921a, which overlooked this scenario. To fix this, lets move kobj to the new policy->cpu while bringing first CPU of a cluster back. Also do a WARN_ON() if kobject_move failed, as we would reach here only for the first CPU of a non-boot cluster. And we can't recover from this situation, if kobject_move() fails.

ce069fc locking/rwsem: Reduce the size of struct rw_semaphore Recent optimistic spinning additions to rwsem provide significant performance benefits on many workloads on large machines. The cost of it was increasing the size of the rwsem structure by up to 128 bits. However, now that the previous patches in this series bring the overhead of struct optimistic_spin_queue to 32 bits, this patch reorders some fields in struct rw_semaphore such that we can reduce the overhead of the rwsem structure by 64 bits (on 64 bit systems). The extra overhead required for rwsem optimistic spinning would now be up to 8 additional bytes instead of up to 16 bytes. Additionally, the size of rwsem would now be more in line with mutexes.

9063182 locking/spinlocks/mcs: Convert osq lock to atomic_t to reduce overhead The cancellable MCS spinlock is currently used to queue threads that are doing optimistic spinning. It uses per-cpu nodes, where a thread obtaining the lock would access and queue the local node corresponding to the CPU that it's running on. Currently, the cancellable MCS lock is implemented by using pointers to these nodes. In this patch, instead of operating on pointers to the per-cpu nodes, we store the CPU numbers in which the per-cpu nodes correspond to in atomic_t. A similar concept is used with the qspinlock. By operating on the CPU # of the nodes using atomic_t instead of pointers to those nodes, this can reduce the overhead of the cancellable MCS spinlock by 32 bits (on 64 bit systems).

However, in a follow up patch in the series we will be introducing a new structure that serves as the new "handle" for the lock. It would make more sense if that structure is named "optimistic_spin_queue". Additionally, since the current use of the "optimistic_spin_queue" structure are "nodes", it might be better if we rename them to "node" anyway.

37e9562 locking/rwsem: Allow conservative optimistic spinning when readers have lock Commit 4fc828e24cd9 ("locking/rwsem: Support optimistic spinning") introduced a major performance regression for workloads such as xfs_repair which mix read and write locking of the mmap_sem across many threads. The result was xfs_repair ran 5x slower on 3.16-rc2 than on 3.15 and using 20x more system CPU time. Perf profiles indicate in some workloads that significant time can be spent spinning on !owner. This is because we don't set the lock owner when readers(s) obtain the rwsem. In this patch, we'll modify rwsem_can_spin_on_owner() such that we'll return false if there is no lock owner. The rationale is that if we just entered the slowpath, yet there is no lock owner, then there is a possibility that a reader has the lock. To be conservative, we'll avoid spinning in these situations. This patch reduced the total run time of the xfs_repair workload from about 4 minutes 24 seconds down to approximately 1 minute 26 seconds, back to close to the same performance as on 3.15. Retesting of AIM7, which were some of the workloads used to test the original optimistic spinning code, confirmed that we still get big performance gains with optimistic spinning, even with this additional regression fix. Davidlohr found that while the 'custom' workload took a performance hit of ~-14% to throughput for >300 users with this additional patch, the overall gain with optimistic spinning is still ~+45%. The 'disk' workload even improved by ~+15% at >1000 users.

Add some more data to the trace_pipe ring_buffer 6. epoll_wait() -> this epoll_wait() will block forever ~ During the epoll_ctl(efd, EPOLL_CTL_ADD,...) call in step 2, ring_buffer_poll_wait() returns immediately without adding poll_table, which has poll_table->_qproc pointing to ep_poll_callback(), to its wait_queue. ~ During the epoll_wait() call in step 3 and step 6, ring_buffer_poll_wait() cannot add ep_poll_callback() to its wait_queue because the poll_table->_qproc is NULL and it is how epoll works. ~ When there is new data available in step 6, ring_buffer does not know it has to call ep_poll_callback() because it is not in its wait queue. Hence, block forever. Other poll implementation seems to call poll_wait() unconditionally as the very first thing to do. For example, tcp_poll() in tcp.c.
