| 288d5ab | Linus Torvalds | 04 August 2011, 08:03:29 UTC | Boot up with usermodehelper disabled The core device layer sends tons of uevent notifications for each device it finds, and if the kernel has been built with a non-empty CONFIG_UEVENT_HELPER_PATH that will make us try to execute the usermode helper binary for all these events very early in the boot. Not only won't the root filesystem even be mounted at that point, we literally won't have necessarily even initialized all the process handling data structures at that point, which causes no end of silly problems even when the usermode helper doesn't actually succeed in executing. So just use our existing infrastructure to disable the usermodehelpers to make the kernel start out with them disabled. We enable them when we've at least initialized stuff a bit.

| e504f3f | Hugh Dickins | 03 August 2011, 23:21:27 UTC | tmpfs radix_tree: locate_item to speed up swapoff We have already acknowledged that swapoff of a tmpfs file is slower than it was before conversion to the generic radix_tree: a little slower there will be acceptable, if the hotter paths are faster. But it was a shock to find swapoff of a 500MB file 20 times slower on my laptop, taking 10 minutes; and at that rate it significantly slows down my testing. Now, most of that turned out to be overhead from PROVE_LOCKING and PROVE_RCU: without those it was only 4 times slower than before; and more realistic tests on other machines don't fare as badly. I've tried a number of things to improve it, including tagging the swap entries, then doing lookup by tag: I'd expected that to halve the time, but in practice it's erratic, and often counter-productive. The only change I've so far found to make a consistent improvement, is to short-circuit the way we go back and forth, gang lookup packing entries into the array supplied, then shmem scanning that array for the target entry. Scanning in place doubles the speed, so it's now only twice as slow as before (or three times slower when the PROVEs are on). So, add radix_tree_locate_item() as an expedient, once-off, single-caller hack to do the lookup directly in place. #ifdef it on CONFIG_SHMEM and CONFIG_SWAP, as much to document its limited applicability as save space in other configurations. And, sadly, #include sched.h for cond_resched().

Move the error unwinding down to the bottom instead of repeating it throughout.

| 285b2c4 | Hugh Dickins | 03 August 2011, 23:21:20 UTC | tmpfs: demolish old swap vector support The maximum size of a shmem/tmpfs file has been limited by the maximum size of its triple-indirect swap vector. With 4kB page size, maximum filesize was just over 2TB on a 32-bit kernel, but sadly one eighth of that on a 64-bit kernel. (With 8kB page size, maximum filesize was just over 4TB on a 64-bit kernel, but 16TB on a 32-bit kernel, MAX_LFS_FILESIZE being then more restrictive than swap vector layout.) It's a shame that tmpfs should be more restrictive than ramfs, and this limitation has now been noticed. Add another level to the swap vector? No, it became obscure and hard to maintain, once I complicated it to make use of highmem pages nine years ago: better choose another way. Surely, if 2.4 had had the radix tree pagecache introduced in 2.5, then tmpfs would never have invented its own peculiar radix tree: we would have fitted swap entries into the common radix tree instead, in much the same way as we fit swap entries into page tables. And why should each file have a separate radix tree for its pages and for its swap entries? The swap entries are required precisely where and when the pages are not. We want to put them together in a single radix tree: which can then avoid much of the locking which was needed to prevent them from being exchanged underneath us. This also avoids the waste of memory devoted to swap vectors, first in the shmem_inode itself, then at least two more pages once a file grew beyond 16 data pages (pages accounted by df and du, but not by memcg). Allocated upfront, to avoid allocation when under swapping pressure, but pure waste when CONFIG_SWAP is not set - I have never spattered around the ifdefs to prevent that, preferring this move to sharing the common radix tree instead. There are three downsides to sharing the radix tree. One, that it binds tmpfs more tightly to the rest of mm, either requiring knowledge of swap entries in radix tree there, or duplication of its code here in shmem.c. I believe that the simplications and memory savings (and probable higher performance, not yet measured) justify that. Two, that on HIGHMEM systems with SWAP enabled, it's the lowmem radix nodes that cannot be freed under memory pressure - whereas before it was the less precious highmem swap vector pages that could not be freed. I'm hoping that 64-bit has now been accessible for long enough, that the highmem argument has grown much less persuasive. Three, that swapoff is slower than it used to be on tmpfs files, since it's using a simple generic mechanism not tailored to it: I find this noticeable, and shall want to improve, but maybe nobody else will notice. So... now remove most of the old swap vector code from shmem.c. But, for the moment, keep the simple i_direct vector of 16 pages, with simple accessors shmem_put_swap() and shmem_get_swap(), as a toy implementation to help mark where swap needs to be handled in subsequent patches.

| a2c16d6 | Hugh Dickins | 03 August 2011, 23:21:19 UTC | mm: let swap use exceptional entries If swap entries are to be stored along with struct page pointers in a radix tree, they need to be distinguished as exceptional entries. Most of the handling of swap entries in radix tree will be contained in shmem.c, but a few functions in filemap.c's common code need to check for their appearance: find_get_page(), find_lock_page(), find_get_pages() and find_get_pages_contig(). So as not to slow their fast paths, tuck those checks inside the existing checks for unlikely radix_tree_deref_slot(); except for find_lock_page(), where it is an added test. And make it a BUG in find_get_pages_tag(), which is not applied to tmpfs files. A part of the reason for eliminating shmem_readpage() earlier, was to minimize the places where common code would need to allow for swap entries. The swp_entry_t known to swapfile.c must be massaged into a slightly different form when stored in the radix tree, just as it gets massaged into a pte_t when stored in page tables. In an i386 kernel this limits its information (type and page offset) to 30 bits: given 32 "types" of swapfile and 4kB pagesize, that's a maximum swapfile size of 128GB. Which is less than the 512GB we previously allowed with X86_PAE (where the swap entry can occupy the entire upper 32 bits of a pte_t), but not a new limitation on 32-bit without PAE; and there's not a new limitation on 64-bit (where swap filesize is already limited to 16TB by a 32-bit page offset). Thirty areas of 128GB is probably still enough swap for a 64GB 32-bit machine. Provide swp_to_radix_entry() and radix_to_swp_entry() conversions, and enforce filesize limit in read_swap_header(), just as for ptes.

| 6328650 | Hugh Dickins | 03 August 2011, 23:21:18 UTC | radix_tree: exceptional entries and indices A patchset to extend tmpfs to MAX_LFS_FILESIZE by abandoning its peculiar swap vector, instead keeping a file's swap entries in the same radix tree as its struct page pointers: thus saving memory, and simplifying its code and locking. This patch: The radix_tree is used by several subsystems for different purposes. A major use is to store the struct page pointers of a file's pagecache for memory management. But what if mm wanted to store something other than page pointers there too? The low bit of a radix_tree entry is already used to denote an indirect pointer, for internal use, and the unlikely radix_tree_deref_retry() case. Define the next bit as denoting an exceptional entry, and supply inline functions radix_tree_exception() to return non-0 in either unlikely case, and radix_tree_exceptional_entry() to return non-0 in the second case. If a subsystem already uses radix_tree with that bit set, no problem: it does not affect internal workings at all, but is defined for the convenience of those storing well-aligned pointers in the radix_tree. The radix_tree_gang_lookups have an implicit assumption that the caller can deduce the offset of each entry returned e.g. by the page->index of a struct page. But that may not be feasible for some kinds of item to be stored there. radix_tree_gang_lookup_slot() allow for an optional indices argument, output array in which to return those offsets.

The fault_attr for mmc_fail_request should be defined per mmc host and export it in debugfs directory per mmc host like /sys/kernel/debug/mmc0/mmc_fail_request. init_fault_attr_dentries() doesn't help for mmc_fail_request.

| 6dccf9c | Len Brown | 13 July 2011, 02:29:32 UTC | mrst_pmu: driver for Intel Moorestown Power Management Unit The Moorestown (MRST) Power Management Unit (PMU) driver directs the SOC power states in the "Langwell" south complex (SCU). It hooks pci_platform_pm_ops[] and thus observes all PCI ".set_state" requests. For devices in the SC, the pmu driver translates those PCI requests into the appropriate commands for the SCU. The PMU driver helps implement S0i3, a deep system idle power idle state. Entry into S0i3 is via cpuidle, just like regular processor c-states. S0i3 depends on pre-conditions including uni-processor, graphics off, and certain IO devices in the SC must be off. If those pre-conditions are met, then the PMU allows cpuidle to enter S0i3, otherwise such requests are demoted, either to Atom C4 or Atom C6. This driver is based on prototype work by Bruce Flemming, Illyas Mansoor, Rajeev D. Muralidhar, Vishwesh M. Rudramuni, Hari Seshadri and Sujith Thomas. The current driver also includes contributions from H. Peter Anvin, Arjan van de Ven, Kristen Accardi, and Yong Wang. Thanks for additional review feedback from Alan Cox and Randy Dunlap.

It must be called in process context. But commonly hardware memory errors are notified via MCE or NMI, so some delayed execution mechanism must be used. In MCE handler, a work queue + ring buffer mechanism is used. In addition to MCE, now APEI (ACPI Platform Error Interface) GHES (Generic Hardware Error Source) can be used to report memory errors too. To add support to APEI GHES memory recovery, a mechanism similar to that of MCE is implemented. memory_failure_queue() is the new entry point that can be called in IRQ context. The next step is to make MCE handler uses this interface too.

| 152cef4 | Huang Ying | 13 July 2011, 05:14:26 UTC | ACPI, APEI, GHES, Error records content based throttle printk is used by GHES to report hardware errors. Ratelimit is enforced on the printk to avoid too many hardware error reports in kernel log. Because there may be thousands or even millions of corrected hardware errors during system running. Currently, a simple scheme is used. That is, the total number of hardware error reporting is ratelimited. This may cause some issues in practice. For example, there are two kinds of hardware errors occurred in system. One is corrected memory error, because the fault memory address is accessed frequently, there may be hundreds error report per-second. The other is corrected PCIe AER error, it will be reported once per-second. Because they share one ratelimit control structure, it is highly possible that only memory error is reported. To avoid the above issue, an error record content based throttle algorithm is implemented in the patch. Where after the first successful reporting, all error records that are same are throttled for some time, to let other kinds of error records have the opportunity to be reported. In above example, the memory errors will be throttled for some time, after being printked. Then the PCIe AER error will be printked successfully.

To solve the issue, a lock-less memory allocator is used to allocate memory in NMI handler, save the error record into the allocated memory, put the error record into a lock-less list. On the other hand, an irq_work is used to delay the operation from NMI context to IRQ context. The irq_work IRQ handler will remove nodes from lock-less list, printk the error record and do some further processing include recovery operation, then free the memory.

| 7f18427 | Huang Ying | 13 July 2011, 05:14:24 UTC | lib, Make gen_pool memory allocator lockless This version of the gen_pool memory allocator supports lockless operation. This makes it safe to use in NMI handlers and other special unblockable contexts that could otherwise deadlock on locks. This is implemented by using atomic operations and retries on any conflicts. The disadvantage is that there may be livelocks in extreme cases. For better scalability, one gen_pool allocator can be used for each CPU. The lockless operation only works if there is enough memory available. If new memory is added to the pool a lock has to be still taken. So any user relying on locklessness has to ensure that sufficient memory is preallocated. The basic atomic operation of this allocator is cmpxchg on long. On architectures that don't have NMI-safe cmpxchg implementation, the allocator can NOT be used in NMI handler. So code uses the allocator in NMI handler should depend on CONFIG_ARCH_HAVE_NMI_SAFE_CMPXCHG.

Because this is a single list, so the tail can not be accessed in O(1). If there are multiple producers and multiple consumers, llist_add can be used in producers and llist_del_all can be used in consumers. They can work simultaneously without lock. But llist_del_first can not be used here. Because llist_del_first depends on list->first->next does not changed if list->first is not changed during its operation, but llist_del_first, llist_add, llist_add (or llist_del_all, llist_add, llist_add) sequence in another consumer may violate that. If there are multiple producers and one consumer, llist_add can be used in producers and llist_del_all or llist_del_first can be used in the consumer. This can be summarized as follow: | add | del_first | del_all add | - | - | - del_first | | L | L del_all | | | - Where "-" stands for no lock is needed, while "L" stands for lock is needed. The list entries deleted via llist_del_all can be traversed with traversing function such as llist_for_each etc. But the list entries can not be traversed safely before deleted from the list. The order of deleted entries is from the newest to the oldest added one. If you want to traverse from the oldest to the newest, you must reverse the order by yourself before traversing. The basic atomic operation of this list is cmpxchg on long. On architectures that don't have NMI-safe cmpxchg implementation, the list can NOT be used in NMI handler. So code uses the list in NMI handler should depend on CONFIG_ARCH_HAVE_NMI_SAFE_CMPXCHG.

| df013ff | Huang Ying | 13 July 2011, 05:14:22 UTC | Add Kconfig option ARCH_HAVE_NMI_SAFE_CMPXCHG cmpxchg() is widely used by lockless code, including NMI-safe lockless code. But on some architectures, the cmpxchg() implementation is not NMI-safe, on these architectures the lockless code may need a spin_trylock_irqsave() based implementation. This patch adds a Kconfig option: ARCH_HAVE_NMI_SAFE_CMPXCHG, so that NMI-safe lockless code can depend on it or provide different implementation according to it. On many architectures, cmpxchg is only NMI-safe for several specific operand sizes. So, ARCH_HAVE_NMI_SAFE_CMPXCHG define in this patch only guarantees cmpxchg is NMI-safe for sizeof(unsigned long).

| dcd998c | Kiran Patil | 03 August 2011, 09:20:01 UTC | tcm_fc: Handle DDP/SW fc_frame_payload_get failures in ft_recv_write_data Problem: HW DDP context was not invalidated in case of ABORTS, etc... This leads to the problem where memory pages which are used for DDP as user descriptor could get reused for some other purpose (such as to satisfy new memory allocation request either by kernel or user mode threads) and since HW DDP context was not invalidated, HW continue to write to those pages, hence causing memory corruption. Fix: Either on incoming ABORTS or due to exchange time out, allowed the target to cleanup HW DDP context if it was setup for respective ft_cmd. Added new function to perform this cleanup, furthur it can be enhanced for other cleanup activity. Fix ft_recv_write_data() to properly handle fc_frame_payload_get to return pointer to payload if it exist. If there is no payload which is most common case (+ve case in case if DDP is working as expected, it will return NULL. Yes, scope of buf is limited to printk. Invalidation of HW context (which is done inside ft_invl_hw_context() is necessary in SUCCESS and FAILURE case of DDP. Hence invalidation is DONE as long as there was DDP setup (whether it worked correctly or not, NOTE: For some reason, if there is any error w.r.t DDP such as out of order packet reception, HW simply post the full packet in rx queue.

Making the THERMAL_HWMON implementation fully internal has two advantages beyond the cleaner design: * This avoids rebuilding all thermal drivers if the THERMAL_HWMON implementation changes, or if CONFIG_THERMAL_HWMON gets enabled or disabled. * This avoids breaking the thermal kABI in these cases too, which should make distributions happy. The only drawback I can see is slightly higher memory fragmentation, as the number of kzalloc() calls will increase by one per thermal zone. But I doubt it will be a problem in practice, as I've never seen a system with more than two thermal zones.

| b12d437 | Jonathan Brassow | 02 August 2011, 11:32:07 UTC | dm raid: support metadata devices Add the ability to parse and use metadata devices to dm-raid. Although not strictly required, without the metadata devices, many features of RAID are unavailable. They are used to store a superblock and bitmap. The role, or position in the array, of each device must be recorded in its superblock. This is to help with fault handling, array reshaping, and sanity checks. RAID 4/5/6 devices must be loaded in a specific order: in this way, the 'array_position' field helps validate the correctness of the mapping when it is loaded. It can be used during reshaping to identify which devices are added/removed. Fault handling is impossible without this field. For example, when a device fails it is recorded in the superblock. If this is a RAID1 device and the offending device is removed from the array, there must be a way during subsequent array assembly to determine that the failed device was the one removed. This is done by correlating the 'array_position' field and the bit-field variable 'failed_devices'.

| c108456 | Jonathan Brassow | 02 August 2011, 11:32:07 UTC | dm raid: add region_size parameter Allow the user to specify the region_size. Ensures that the supplied value meets md's constraints, viz. the number of regions does not exceed 2^21.

| 759dea2 | Mikulas Patocka | 02 August 2011, 11:32:06 UTC | dm ioctl: forbid multiple device specifiers Exactly one of name, uuid or device must be specified when referencing an existing device. This removes the ambiguity (risking the wrong device being updated) if two conflicting parameters were specified. Previously one parameter got used and any others were ignored silently.

| ba2e19b | Mikulas Patocka | 02 August 2011, 11:32:06 UTC | dm ioctl: introduce __get_dev_cell Move logic to find device based on major/minor number to a separate function __get_dev_cell (similar to __get_uuid_cell and __get_name_cell). This makes the function __find_device_hash_cell more straightforward.

| 0ddf964 | Mikulas Patocka | 02 August 2011, 11:32:06 UTC | dm ioctl: fill in device parameters in more ioctls Move parameter filling from find_device to __find_device_hash_cell. This patch causes ioctls using __find_device_hash_cell (DM_DEV_REMOVE_CMD, DM_DEV_SUSPEND_CMD - resume, DM_TABLE_CLEAR_CMD) to return device parameters, bringing them into line with the other ioctls.

This code uses the same target argument helpers that the multipath target does. Also remove the superfluous 'dm-flakey' prefixes from the error messages, as they already contain the prefix 'flakey'.
