06066714f6 [PATCH] sched: remove lb_stopbalance counter
Remove scheduler stats lb_stopbalance counter.  This counter can be
calculated by: lb_balanced - lb_nobusyg - lb_nobusyq.  There is no need to
create gazillion counters while we can derive the value.

783609c6cb [PATCH] sched: decrease number of load balances
Currently at a particular domain, each cpu in the sched group will do a
load balance at the frequency of balance_interval.  More the cores and
threads, more the cpus will be in each sched group at SMP and NUMA domain.
And we endup spending quite a bit of time doing load balancing in those
domains.

Fix this by making only one cpu(first idle cpu or first cpu in the group if
all the cpus are busy) in the sched group do the load balance at that
particular sched domain and this load will slowly percolate down to the
other cpus with in that group(when they do load balancing at lower
domains).

08c183f31b [PATCH] sched: add option to serialize load balancing
Large sched domains can be very expensive to scan.  Add an option SD_SERIALIZE
to the sched domain flags.  If that flag is set then we make sure that no
other such domain is being balanced.

c9819f4593 [PATCH] sched: use softirq for load balancing
Call rebalance_tick (renamed to run_rebalance_domains) from a newly introduced
softirq.

We calculate the earliest time for each layer of sched domains to be rescanned
(this is the rescan time for idle) and use the earliest of those to schedule
the softirq via a new field "next_balance" added to struct rq.

ac7d550499 [PATCH] sched domain: increase the SMT busy rebalance interval
With SMT, if the logical processor is busy, load balance happens for every
8msec(min)-16msec(max).  There is no need to do this often, as this is just
for fairness(to maintain uniform runqueue lengths) and default time slice
anyhow is 100msec.

Appended patch increases this interval to 64msec(min)-128msec(max) when the
logical processor is busy.

7c3ab7381e [PATCH] io-accounting: core statistics
The present per-task IO accounting isn't very useful.  It simply counts the
number of bytes passed into read() and write().  So if a process reads 1MB
from an already-cached file, it is accused of having performed 1MB of I/O,
which is wrong.

(David Wright had some comments on the applicability of the present logical IO accounting:

  For billing purposes it is useless but for workload analysis it is very
  useful

  read_bytes/read_calls  average read request size
  write_bytes/write_calls average write request size

  read_bytes/read_blocks ie logical/physical can indicate hit rate or thrashing
  write_bytes/write_blocks  ie logical/physical  guess since pdflush writes can
                                                be missed

  I often look for logical larger than physical to see filesystem cache
  problems.  And the bytes/cpusec can help find applications that are
  dominating the cache and causing slow interactive response from page cache
  contention.

  I want to find the IO intensive applications and make sure they are doing
  efficient IO.  Thus the acctcms(sysV) or csacms command would give the high
  IO commands).

This patchset adds new accounting which tries to be more accurate.  We account
for three things:

reads:

  attempt to count the number of bytes which this process really did cause
  to be fetched from the storage layer.  Done at the submit_bio() level, so it
  is accurate for block-backed filesystems.  I also attempt to wire up NFS and
  CIFS.

writes:

  attempt to count the number of bytes which this process caused to be sent
  to the storage layer.  This is done at page-dirtying time.

  The big inaccuracy here is truncate.  If a process writes 1MB to a file
  and then deletes the file, it will in fact perform no writeout.  But it will
  have been accounted as having caused 1MB of write.

  So...

cancelled_writes:

  account the number of bytes which this process caused to not happen, by
  truncating pagecache.

  We _could_ just subtract this from the process's `write' accounting.  But
  that means that some processes would be reported to have done negative
  amounts of write IO, which is silly.

  So we just report the raw number and punt this decision up to userspace.

Now, we _could_ account for writes at the physical I/O level.  But

- This would require that we track memory-dirtying tasks at the per-page
  level (would require a new pointer in struct page).

- It would mean that IO statistics for a process are usually only available
  long after that process has exitted.  Which means that we probably cannot
  communicate this info via taskstats.

This patch:

Wire up the kernel-private data structures and the accessor functions to
manipulate them.

2e93ccc193 [PATCH] dm: suspend: add noflush pushback
In device-mapper I/O is sometimes queued within targets for later processing.
For example the multipath target can be configured to store I/O when no paths
are available instead of returning it -EIO.

This patch allows the device-mapper core to instruct a target to transfer the
contents of any such in-target queue back into the core.  This frees up the
resources used by the target so the core can replace that target with an
alternative one and then resend the I/O to it.  Without this patch the only
way to change the target in such circumstances involves returning the I/O with
an error back to the filesystem/application.  In the multipath case, this
patch will let us add new paths for existing I/O to try after all the existing
paths have failed.

    DMF_NOFLUSH_SUSPENDING
    ----------------------

If the DM_NOFLUSH_FLAG ioctl option is specified at suspend time, the
DMF_NOFLUSH_SUSPENDING flag is set in md->flags during dm_suspend().  It
is always cleared before dm_suspend() returns.

The flag must be visible while the target is flushing pending I/Os so it
is set before presuspend where the flush starts and unset after the wait
for md->pending where the flush ends.

Target drivers can check this flag by calling dm_noflush_suspending().

    DM_MAPIO_REQUEUE / DM_ENDIO_REQUEUE
    -----------------------------------

A target's map() function can now return DM_MAPIO_REQUEUE to request the
device mapper core queue the bio.

Similarly, a target's end_io() function can return DM_ENDIO_REQUEUE to request
the same.  This has been labelled 'pushback'.

The __map_bio() and clone_endio() functions in the core treat these return
values as errors and call dec_pending() to end the I/O.

    dec_pending
    -----------

dec_pending() saves the pushback request in struct dm_io->error.  Once all
the split clones have ended, dec_pending() will put the original bio on
the md->pushback list.  Note that this supercedes any I/O errors.

It is possible for the suspend with DM_NOFLUSH_FLAG to be aborted while
in progress (e.g. by user interrupt).  dec_pending() checks for this and
returns -EIO if it happened.

    pushdback list and pushback_lock
    --------------------------------

The bio is queued on md->pushback temporarily in dec_pending(), and after
all pending I/Os return, md->pushback is merged into md->deferred in
dm_suspend() for re-issuing at resume time.

md->pushback_lock protects md->pushback.
The lock should be held with irq disabled because dec_pending() can be
called from interrupt context.

Queueing bios to md->pushback in dec_pending() must be done atomically
with the check for DMF_NOFLUSH_SUSPENDING flag.  So md->pushback_lock is
held when checking the flag.  Otherwise dec_pending() may queue a bio to
md->pushback after the interrupted dm_suspend() flushes md->pushback.
Then the bio would be left in md->pushback.

Flag setting in dm_suspend() can be done without md->pushback_lock because
the flag is checked only after presuspend and the set value is already
made visible via the target's presuspend function.

The flag can be checked without md->pushback_lock (e.g. the first part of
the dec_pending() or target drivers), because the flag is checked again
with md->pushback_lock held when the bio is really queued to md->pushback
as described above.  So even if the flag is cleared after the lockless
checkings, the bio isn't left in md->pushback but returned to applications
with -EIO.

    Other notes on the current patch
    --------------------------------

- md->pushback is added to the struct mapped_device instead of using
  md->deferred directly because md->io_lock which protects md->deferred is
  rw_semaphore and can't be used in interrupt context like dec_pending(),
  and md->io_lock protects the DMF_BLOCK_IO flag of md->flags too.

- Don't issue lock_fs() in dm_suspend() if the DM_NOFLUSH_FLAG
  ioctl option is specified, because I/Os generated by lock_fs() would be
  pushed back and never return if there were no valid devices.

- If an error occurs in dm_suspend() after the DMF_NOFLUSH_SUSPENDING
  flag is set, md->pushback must be flushed because I/Os may be queued to
  the list already.  (flush_and_out label in dm_suspend())

    Test results
    ------------

I have tested using multipath target with the next patch.

The following tests are for regression/compatibility:
  - I/Os succeed when valid paths exist;
  - I/Os fail when there are no valid paths and queue_if_no_path is not
    set;
  - I/Os are queued in the multipath target when there are no valid paths and
    queue_if_no_path is set;
  - The queued I/Os above fail when suspend is issued without the
    DM_NOFLUSH_FLAG ioctl option.  I/Os spanning 2 multipath targets also
    fail.

The following tests are for the normal code path of new pushback feature:
  - Queued I/Os in the multipath target are flushed from the target
    but don't return when suspend is issued with the DM_NOFLUSH_FLAG
    ioctl option;
  - The I/Os above are queued in the multipath target again when
    resume is issued without path recovery;
  - The I/Os above succeed when resume is issued after path recovery
    or table load;
  - Queued I/Os in the multipath target succeed when resume is issued
    with the DM_NOFLUSH_FLAG ioctl option after table load. I/Os
    spanning 2 multipath targets also succeed.

The following tests are for the error paths of the new pushback feature:
  - When the bdget_disk() fails in dm_suspend(), the
    DMF_NOFLUSH_SUSPENDING flag is cleared and I/Os already queued to the
    pushback list are flushed properly.
  - When suspend with the DM_NOFLUSH_FLAG ioctl option is interrupted,
      o I/Os which had already been queued to the pushback list
        at the time don't return, and are re-issued at resume time;
      o I/Os which hadn't been returned at the time return with EIO.

what this is for.) As the interface is extended, the version number is
incremented.

Other than accepting the new option through the interface, There is no change
to existing behaviour.

Test results:
Confirmed the option is given from user-space correctly.

45cbcd7983 [PATCH] dm: map and endio return code clarification
Tighten the use of return values from the target map and end_io functions.
Values of 2 and above are now explictly reserved for future use.  There are no
existing targets using such values.

The patch has no effect on existing behaviour.

o Reserve return values of 2 and above from target map functions.
  Any positive value currently indicates "mapping complete", but all
  existing drivers use the value 1.  We now make that a requirement
  so we can assign new meaning to higher values in future.

  The new definition of return values from target map functions is:
      < 0 : error
      = 0 : The target will handle the io (DM_MAPIO_SUBMITTED).
      = 1 : Mapping completed (DM_MAPIO_REMAPPED).
      > 1 : Reserved (undefined).  Previously this was the same as '= 1'.

o Reserve return values of 2 and above from target end_io functions
  for similar reasons.
  DM_ENDIO_INCOMPLETE is introduced for a return value of 1.

Test results:

  I have tested by using the multipath target.

  I/Os succeed when valid paths exist.

  I/Os are queued in the multipath target when there are no valid paths and
queue_if_no_path is set.

  I/Os fail when there are no valid paths and queue_if_no_path is not set.

a3d77d35be [PATCH] dm: suspend: parameter change
Change the interface of dm_suspend() so that we can pass several options
without increasing the number of parameters.  The existing 'do_lockfs' integer
parameter is replaced by a flag DM_SUSPEND_LOCKFS_FLAG.

There is no functional change to the code.

Test results:
I have tested 'dmsetup suspend' command with/without the '--nolockfs'
option and confirmed the do_lockfs value is correctly set.

329409aeda [PATCH] fault injection: stacktrace filtering
This patch provides stacktrace filtering feature.

The stacktrace filter allows failing only for the caller you are
interested in.

For example someone may want to inject kmalloc() failures into
only e100 module. they want to inject not only direct kmalloc() call,
but also indirect allocation, too.

- e100_poll --> netif_receive_skb --> packet_rcv_spkt --> skb_clone
  --> kmem_cache_alloc

This patch enables to detect function calls like this by stacktrace
and inject failures. The script Documentaion/fault-injection/failmodule.sh
helps it.

The range of text section of loaded e100 is expected to be
[/sys/module/e100/sections/.text, /sys/module/e100/sections/.exit.text)

So failmodule.sh stores these values into /debug/failslab/address-start
and /debug/failslab/address-end. The maximum stacktrace depth is specified
by /debug/failslab/stacktrace-depth.

Please see the example that demonstrates how to inject slab allocation
failures only for a specific module
in Documentation/fault-injection/fault-injection.txt

c17bb49517 [PATCH] fault-injection capability for disk IO
This patch provides fault-injection capability for disk IO.

Boot option:

fail_make_request=<probability>,<interval>,<space>,<times>

	<interval> -- specifies the interval of failures.

	<probability> -- specifies how often it should fail in percent.

	<space> -- specifies the size of free space where disk IO can be issued
		   safely in bytes.

	<times> -- specifies how many times failures may happen at most.

Debugfs:

/debug/fail_make_request/interval
/debug/fail_make_request/probability
/debug/fail_make_request/specifies
/debug/fail_make_request/times

Example:

	fail_make_request=10,100,0,-1
	echo 1 > /sys/blocks/hda/hda1/make-it-fail

generic_make_request() on /dev/hda1 fails once per 10 times.

606d099cdd [PATCH] tty: switch to ktermios
This is the grungy swap all the occurrences in the right places patch that
goes with the updates.  At this point we have the same functionality as
before (except that sgttyb() returns speeds not zero) and are ready to
begin turning new stuff on providing nobody reports lots of bugs

If you are a tty driver author converting an out of tree driver the only
impact should be termios->ktermios name changes for the speed/property
setting functions from your upper layers.

If you are implementing your own TCGETS function before then your driver
was broken already and its about to get a whole lot more painful for you so
please fix it 8)

Also fill in c_ispeed/ospeed on init for most devices, although the current
code will do this for you anyway but I'd like eventually to lose that extra
paranoia

edc6afc549 [PATCH] tty: switch to ktermios and new framework
This is the core of the switch to the new framework.  I've split it from the
driver patches which are mostly search/replace and would encourage people to
give this one a good hard stare.

The references to BOTHER and ISHIFT are the termios values that must be
defined by a platform once it wants to turn on "new style" ioctl support.  The
code patches here ensure that providing

1. The termios overlays the ktermios in memory
2. The only new kernel only fields are c_ispeed/c_ospeed (or none)

the existing behaviour is retained.  This is true for the patches at this
point in time.

Future patches will define BOTHER, ISHIFT and enable newer termios structures
for each architecture, and once they are all done some of the ifdefs also
vanish.

f0d1b0b30d [PATCH] LOG2: Implement a general integer log2 facility in the kernel
This facility provides three entry points:

	ilog2()		Log base 2 of unsigned long
	ilog2_u32()	Log base 2 of u32
	ilog2_u64()	Log base 2 of u64

These facilities can either be used inside functions on dynamic data:

	int do_something(long q)
	{
		...;
		y = ilog2(x)
		...;
	}

Or can be used to statically initialise global variables with constant values:

	unsigned n = ilog2(27);

When performing static initialisation, the compiler will report "error:
initializer element is not constant" if asked to take a log of zero or of
something not reducible to a constant.  They treat negative numbers as
unsigned.

When not dealing with a constant, they fall back to using fls() which permits
them to use arch-specific log calculation instructions - such as BSR on
x86/x86_64 or SCAN on FRV - if available.
