We measure acquisition and contention bouncing.
This is done by recording a cpu stamp in each lock instance.
Contention bouncing requires the cpu stamp to be set on acquisition. Hence we
move __acquired into the generic path.
__acquired is then used to measure acquisition bouncing by comparing the
current cpu with the old stamp before replacing it.
__contended is used to measure contention bouncing (only useful for preemptable
locks)

Introduce the core lock statistics code.
Lock statistics provides lock wait-time and hold-time (as well as the count
of corresponding contention and acquisitions events). Also, the first few
call-sites that encounter contention are tracked.
Lock wait-time is the time spent waiting on the lock. This provides insight
into the locking scheme, that is, a heavily contended lock is indicative of
a too coarse locking scheme.
Lock hold-time is the duration the lock was held, this provides a reference for
the wait-time numbers, so they can be put into perspective.
1)
lock
2)
... do stuff ..
unlock
3)
The time between 1 and 2 is the wait-time. The time between 2 and 3 is the
hold-time.
The lockdep held-lock tracking code is reused, because it already collects locks
into meaningful groups (classes), and because it is an existing infrastructure
for lock instrumentation.
Currently lockdep tracks lock acquisition with two hooks:
lock()
lock_acquire()
_lock()
... code protected by lock ...
unlock()
lock_release()
_unlock()
We need to extend this with two more hooks, in order to measure contention.
lock_contended() - used to measure contention events
lock_acquired() - completion of the contention
These are then placed the following way:
lock()
lock_acquire()
if (!_try_lock())
lock_contended()
_lock()
lock_acquired()
... do locked stuff ...
unlock()
lock_release()
_unlock()
(Note: the try_lock() 'trick' is used to avoid instrumenting all platform
dependent lock primitive implementations.)
It is also possible to toggle the two lockdep features at runtime using:
/proc/sys/kernel/prove_locking
/proc/sys/kernel/lock_stat
(esp. turning off the O(n^2) prove_locking functionaliy can help)

Use the lockdep infrastructure to track lock contention and other lock
statistics.
It tracks lock contention events, and the first four unique call-sites that
encountered contention.
It also measures lock wait-time and hold-time in nanoseconds. The minimum and
maximum times are tracked, as well as a total (which together with the number
of event can give the avg).
All statistics are done per lock class, per write (exclusive state) and per read
(shared state).
The statistics are collected per-cpu, so that the collection overhead is
minimized via having no global cachemisses.
This new lock statistics feature is independent of the lock dependency checking
traditionally done by lockdep; it just shares the lock tracking code. It is
also possible to enable both and runtime disabled either component - thereby
avoiding the O(n^2) lock chain walks for instance.
This patch:
raw_spinlock_t should not use lockdep (and doesn't) since lockdep itself
relies on it.

Stackable file systems, among others, frequently need to lookup paths or
path components starting from an arbitrary point in the namespace
(identified by a dentry and a vfsmount). Currently, such file systems use
lookup_one_len, which is frowned upon [1] as it does not pass the lookup
intent along; not passing a lookup intent, for example, can trigger BUG_ON's
when stacking on top of NFSv4.
The first patch introduces a new lookup function to allow lookup starting
from an arbitrary point in the namespace. This approach has been suggested
by Christoph Hellwig [2].
The second patch changes sunrpc to use vfs_path_lookup.
The third patch changes nfsctl.c to use vfs_path_lookup.
The fourth patch marks link_path_walk static.
The fifth, and last patch, unexports path_walk because it is no longer
unnecessary to call it directly, and using the new vfs_path_lookup is
cleaner.
For example, the following snippet of code, looks up "some/path/component"
in a directory pointed to by parent_{dentry,vfsmnt}:
err = vfs_path_lookup(parent_dentry, parent_vfsmnt,
"some/path/component", 0, &nd);
if (!err) {
/* exits */
...
/* once done, release the references */
path_release(&nd);
} else if (err == -ENOENT) {
/* doesn't exist */
} else {
/* other error */
}
VFS functions such as lookup_create can be used on the nameidata structure
to pass the create intent to the file system.

Remove the arg+env limit of MAX_ARG_PAGES by copying the strings directly from
the old mm into the new mm.
We create the new mm before the binfmt code runs, and place the new stack at
the very top of the address space. Once the binfmt code runs and figures out
where the stack should be, we move it downwards.
It is a bit peculiar in that we have one task with two mm's, one of which is
inactive.

The purpose of audit_bprm() is to log the argv array to a userspace daemon at
the end of the execve system call. Since user-space hasn't had time to run,
this array is still in pristine state on the process' stack; so no need to
copy it, we can just grab it from there.
In order to minimize the damage to audit_log_*() copy each string into a
temporary kernel buffer first.
Currently the audit code requires that the full argument vector fits in a
single packet. So currently it does clip the argv size to a (sysctl) limit,
but only when execve auditing is enabled.
If the audit protocol gets extended to allow for multiple packets this check
can be removed.

I realise jprobes are a razor-blades-included type of interface, but that
doesn't mean we can't try and make them safer to use. This guy I know once
wrote code like this:
struct jprobe jp = { .kp.symbol_name = "foo", .entry = "jprobe_foo" };
And then his kernel exploded. Oops.
This patch adds an arch hook, arch_deref_entry_point() (I don't like it
either) which takes the void * in a struct jprobe, and gives back the text
address that it represents.
We can then use that in register_jprobe() to check that the entry point we're
passed is actually in the kernel text, rather than just some random value.

Currently jprobe.entry is a kprobe_opcode_t *, but that's a lie. On some
platforms it doesn't point to an opcode at all, it points to a function
descriptor.
It's really a pointer to something that the arch code can turn into a function
entry point. And that's what actually happens, none of the generic code ever
looks at jprobe.entry, it's only ever dereferenced by arch code.
So just make it a void *.

Share the same page flag bit for PG_readahead and PG_reclaim.
One is used only on file reads, another is only for emergency writes. One
is used mostly for fresh/young pages, another is for old pages.
Combinations of possible interactions are:
a) clear PG_reclaim => implicit clear of PG_readahead
it will delay an asynchronous readahead into a synchronous one
it actually does _good_ for readahead:
the pages will be reclaimed soon, it's readahead thrashing!
in this case, synchronous readahead makes more sense.
b) clear PG_readahead => implicit clear of PG_reclaim
one(and only one) page will not be reclaimed in time
it can be avoided by checking PageWriteback(page) in readahead first
c) set PG_reclaim => implicit set of PG_readahead
will confuse readahead and make it restart the size rampup process
it's a trivial problem, and can mostly be avoided by checking
PageWriteback(page) first in readahead
d) set PG_readahead => implicit set of PG_reclaim
PG_readahead will never be set on already cached pages.
PG_reclaim will always be cleared on dirtying a page.
so not a problem.
In summary,
a) we get better behavior
b,d) possible interactions can be avoided
c) racy condition exists that might affect readahead, but the chance
is _really_ low, and the hurt on readahead is trivial.
Compound pages also use PG_reclaim, but for now they do not interact with
reclaim/readahead code.

This is a minimal readahead algorithm that aims to replace the current one.
It is more flexible and reliable, while maintaining almost the same behavior
and performance. Also it is full integrated with adaptive readahead.
It is designed to be called on demand:
- on a missing page, to do synchronous readahead
- on a lookahead page, to do asynchronous readahead
In this way it eliminated the awkward workarounds for cache hit/miss,
readahead thrashing, retried read, and unaligned read. It also adopts the
data structure introduced by adaptive readahead, parameterizes readahead
pipelining with `lookahead_index', and reduces the current/ahead windows to
one single window.
HEURISTICS
The logic deals with four cases:
- sequential-next
found a consistent readahead window, so push it forward
- random
standalone small read, so read as is
- sequential-first
create a new readahead window for a sequential/oversize request
- lookahead-clueless
hit a lookahead page not associated with the readahead window,
so create a new readahead window and ramp it up
In each case, three parameters are determined:
- readahead index: where the next readahead begins
- readahead size: how much to readahead
- lookahead size: when to do the next readahead (for pipelining)
BEHAVIORS
The old behaviors are maximally preserved for trivial sequential/random reads.
Notable changes are:
- It no longer imposes strict sequential checks.
It might help some interleaved cases, and clustered random reads.
It does introduce risks of a random lookahead hit triggering an
unexpected readahead. But in general it is more likely to do good
than to do evil.
- Interleaved reads are supported in a minimal way.
Their chances of being detected and proper handled are still low.
- Readahead thrashings are better handled.
The current readahead leads to tiny average I/O sizes, because it
never turn back for the thrashed pages. They have to be fault in
by do_generic_mapping_read() one by one. Whereas the on-demand
readahead will redo readahead for them.
OVERHEADS
The new code reduced the overheads of
- excessively calling the readahead routine on small sized reads
(the current readahead code insists on seeing all requests)
- doing a lot of pointless page-cache lookups for small cached files
(the current readahead only turns itself off after 256 cache hits,
unfortunately most files are < 1MB, so never see that chance)
That accounts for speedup of
- 0.3% on 1-page sequential reads on sparse file
- 1.2% on 1-page cache hot sequential reads
- 3.2% on 256-page cache hot sequential reads
- 1.3% on cache hot `tar /lib`
However, it does introduce one extra page-cache lookup per cache miss, which
impacts random reads slightly. That's 1% overheads for 1-page random reads on
sparse file.
PERFORMANCE
The basic benchmark setup is
- 2.6.20 kernel with on-demand readahead
- 1MB max readahead size
- 2.9GHz Intel Core 2 CPU
- 2GB memory
- 160G/8M Hitachi SATA II 7200 RPM disk
The benchmarks show that
- it maintains the same performance for trivial sequential/random reads
- sysbench/OLTP performance on MySQL gains up to 8%
- performance on readahead thrashing gains up to 3 times

That's interesting results. Some investigations show that
- MySQL is accessing the db file non-uniformly: some parts are
more hot than others
- It is mostly doing 4-page random reads, and sometimes doing two
reads in a row, the latter one triggers a 16-page readahead.
- The on-demand readahead leaves many lookahead pages (flagged
PG_readahead) there. Many of them will be hit, and trigger
more readahead pages. Which might save more seeks.
- Naturally, the readahead windows tend to lie in hot areas,
and the lookahead pages in hot areas is more likely to be hit.
- The more overall read density, the more possible gain.
That also explains the adaptive readahead tricks for clustered random reads.

Kernel threads should not have TIF_FREEZE set when user space processes are
being frozen, since otherwise some of them might be frozen prematurely.
To prevent this from happening we can (1) make exit_mm() unset TIF_FREEZE
unconditionally just after clearing tsk->mm and (2) make try_to_freeze_tasks()
check if p->mm is different from zero and PF_BORROWED_MM is unset in p->flags
when user space processes are to be frozen.
Namely, when user space processes are being frozen, we only should set
TIF_FREEZE for tasks that have p->mm different from NULL and don't have
PF_BORROWED_MM set in p->flags. For this reason task_lock() must be used to
prevent try_to_freeze_tasks() from racing with use_mm()/unuse_mm(), in which
p->mm and p->flags.PF_BORROWED_MM are changed under task_lock(p). Also, we
need to prevent the following scenario from happening:
* daemonize() is called by a task spawned from a user space code path
* freezer checks if the task has p->mm set and the result is positive
* task enters exit_mm() and clears its TIF_FREEZE
* freezer sets TIF_FREEZE for the task
* task calls try_to_freeze() and goes to the refrigerator, which is wrong at
that point
This requires us to acquire task_lock(p) before p->flags.PF_BORROWED_MM and
p->mm are examined and release it after TIF_FREEZE is set for p (or it turns
out that TIF_FREEZE should not be set).

At least on some machines it is necessary to prepare the ACPI firmware for the
restoration of the system memory state from the hibernation image if the
"platform" mode of hibernation has been used. Namely, in that cases we need
to disable the GPEs before replacing the "boot" kernel with the "frozen"
kernel (cf. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7887). After the
restore they will be re-enabled by hibernation_ops->finish(), but if the
restore fails, they have to be re-enabled by the restore code explicitly.
For this purpose we can introduce two additional hibernation operations,
called pre_restore() and restore_cleanup() and call them from the restore code
path. Still, they should be called if the "platform" mode of hibernation has
been used, so we need to pass the information about the hibernation mode from
the "frozen" kernel to the "boot" kernel in the image header.
Apparently, we can't drop the disabling of GPEs before the restore because of
Bug #7887 . We also can't do it unconditionally, because the GPEs wouldn't
have been enabled after a successful restore if the suspend had been done in
the 'shutdown' or 'reboot' mode.
In principle we could (and probably should) unconditionally disable the GPEs
before each snapshot creation *and* before the restore, but then we'd have to
unconditionally enable them after the snapshot creation as well as after the
restore (or restore failure) Still, for this purpose we'd need to modify
acpi_enter_sleep_state_prep() and acpi_leave_sleep_state() and we'd have to
introduce some mechanism synchronizing the disablind/enabling of the GPEs with
the device drivers' .suspend()/.resume() routines and with
disable_/enable_nonboot_cpus(). However, this would have affected the
suspend (ie. s2ram) code as well as the hibernation, which I'd like to avoid
in this patch series.

Change ->fault prototype. We now return an int, which contains
VM_FAULT_xxx code in the low byte, and FAULT_RET_xxx code in the next byte.
FAULT_RET_ code tells the VM whether a page was found, whether it has been
locked, and potentially other things. This is not quite the way he wanted
it yet, but that's changed in the next patch (which requires changes to
arch code).
This means we no longer set VM_CAN_INVALIDATE in the vma in order to say
that a page is locked which requires filemap_nopage to go away (because we
can no longer remain backward compatible without that flag), but we were
going to do that anyway.
struct fault_data is renamed to struct vm_fault as Linus asked. address
is now a void __user * that we should firmly encourage drivers not to use
without really good reason.
The page is now returned via a page pointer in the vm_fault struct.

Nonlinear mappings are (AFAIKS) simply a virtual memory concept that encodes
the virtual address -> file offset differently from linear mappings.
->populate is a layering violation because the filesystem/pagecache code
should need to know anything about the virtual memory mapping. The hitch here
is that the ->nopage handler didn't pass down enough information (ie. pgoff).
But it is more logical to pass pgoff rather than have the ->nopage function
calculate it itself anyway (because that's a similar layering violation).
Having the populate handler install the pte itself is likewise a nasty thing
to be doing.
This patch introduces a new fault handler that replaces ->nopage and
->populate and (later) ->nopfn. Most of the old mechanism is still in place
so there is a lot of duplication and nice cleanups that can be removed if
everyone switches over.
The rationale for doing this in the first place is that nonlinear mappings are
subject to the pagefault vs invalidate/truncate race too, and it seemed stupid
to duplicate the synchronisation logic rather than just consolidate the two.
After this patch, MAP_NONBLOCK no longer sets up ptes for pages present in
pagecache. Seems like a fringe functionality anyway.
NOPAGE_REFAULT is removed. This should be implemented with ->fault, and no
users have hit mainline yet.

Fix the race between invalidate_inode_pages and do_no_page.
Andrea Arcangeli identified a subtle race between invalidation of pages from
pagecache with userspace mappings, and do_no_page.
The issue is that invalidation has to shoot down all mappings to the page,
before it can be discarded from the pagecache. Between shooting down ptes to
a particular page, and actually dropping the struct page from the pagecache,
do_no_page from any process might fault on that page and establish a new
mapping to the page just before it gets discarded from the pagecache.
The most common case where such invalidation is used is in file truncation.
This case was catered for by doing a sort of open-coded seqlock between the
file's i_size, and its truncate_count.
Truncation will decrease i_size, then increment truncate_count before
unmapping userspace pages; do_no_page will read truncate_count, then find the
page if it is within i_size, and then check truncate_count under the page
table lock and back out and retry if it had subsequently been changed (ptl
will serialise against unmapping, and ensure a potentially updated
truncate_count is actually visible).
Complexity and documentation issues aside, the locking protocol fails in the
case where we would like to invalidate pagecache inside i_size. do_no_page
can come in anytime and filemap_nopage is not aware of the invalidation in
progress (as it is when it is outside i_size). The end result is that
dangling (->mapping == NULL) pages that appear to be from a particular file
may be mapped into userspace with nonsense data. Valid mappings to the same
place will see a different page.
Andrea implemented two working fixes, one using a real seqlock, another using
a page->flags bit. He also proposed using the page lock in do_no_page, but
that was initially considered too heavyweight. However, it is not a global or
per-file lock, and the page cacheline is modified in do_no_page to increment
_count and _mapcount anyway, so a further modification should not be a large
performance hit. Scalability is not an issue.
This patch implements this latter approach. ->nopage implementations return
with the page locked if it is possible for their underlying file to be
invalidated (in that case, they must set a special vm_flags bit to indicate
so). do_no_page only unlocks the page after setting up the mapping
completely. invalidation is excluded because it holds the page lock during
invalidation of each page (and ensures that the page is not mapped while
holding the lock).
This also allows significant simplifications in do_no_page, because we have
the page locked in the right place in the pagecache from the start.

Many filesystems need a ->page-mkwrite callout to correctly
set up pages that have been written to by mmap. This is especially
important when mmap is writing into holes as it allows filesystems
to correctly account for and allocate space before the mmap
write is allowed to proceed.
Protection against truncate races is provided by locking the page
and checking to see whether the page mapping is correct and whether
it is beyond EOF so we don't end up allowing allocations beyond
the current EOF or changing EOF as a result of a mmap write.

We've been using the convention that vfs_foo is the function that calls
a filesystem-specific foo method if it exists, or falls back on a
generic method if it doesn't; thus vfs_foo is what is called when some
other part of the kernel (normally lockd or nfsd) wants to get a lock,
whereas foo is what filesystems call to use the underlying local
functionality as part of their lock implementation.
So rename setlease to vfs_setlease (which will call a
filesystem-specific setlease after a later patch) and __setlease to
setlease.
Also, vfs_setlease need only be GPL-exported as long as it's only needed
by lockd and nfsd.

This defines a dev_vdbg() call, which is enabled with -DVERBOSE_DEBUG.
When enabled, dev_vdbg() acts just like dev_dbg(). When disabled, it is a
NOP ... just like dev_dbg() without -DDEBUG. The specific code was moved
out of a USB patch, but lots of drivers have similar support.
That is, code can now be written to use an additional level of debug
output, selected at compile time. Many driver authors have found this
idiom to be very useful. A typical usage model is for "normal" debug
messages to focus on fault paths and not be very "chatty", so that those
messages can be left on during normal operation without much of a
performance or syslog load. On the other hand "verbose" messages would be
noisy enough that they wouldn't normally be enabled; they might even affect
timings enough to change system or driver behavior.

Various pieces of code around the kernel want to be able to trigger an
orderly poweroff. This pulls them together into a single
implementation.
By default the poweroff command is /sbin/poweroff, but it can be set
via sysctl: kernel/poweroff_cmd. This is split at whitespace, so it
can include command-line arguments.
This patch replaces four other instances of invoking either "poweroff"
or "shutdown -h now": two sbus drivers, and acpi thermal
management.

This is a reimplementation of the zs driver for the serial subsystem. Any
resemblance to the old driver is purely coincidential. ;-) I do hope I got
the handling of modem lines right -- better do not tackle me about the
issue unless you feel too good...
Any users of the old driver: please note the numbers of the serial lines
have now been swapped, i.e. ttyS0 <-> ttyS1 and ttyS2 <-> ttyS3. It has
to do with the modem lines mentioned above; basically the port A in a given
chip has to be initialised before the port B if you want to use the latter
as the serial console (which is usually the case), as operations on modem
lines of the serial line associated with the port B access both ports (see
the comment at the top of the driver for the details of wiring used).
Please update your scripts.
This is also the reason each SCC now requests an IRQ once only (as seen in
"/proc/interrupts") -- the handler takes care of both ports at once as the
line associated with the port B has to take status update interrupts from
both ports (and yet the line of the port A takes its own for itself too).
The old driver never got it right...

This patch adds support to ext4 for allowing more than 65000
subdirectories. Currently the maximum number of subdirectories is capped
at 32000.
If we exceed 65000 subdirectories in an htree directory it sets the
inode link count to 1 and no longer counts subdirectories. The
directory link count is not actually used when determining if a
directory is empty, as that only counts subdirectories and not regular
files that might be in there.
A EXT4_FEATURE_RO_COMPAT_DIR_NLINK flag has been added and it is set if
the subdir count for any directory crosses 65000. A later fsck will clear
EXT4_FEATURE_RO_COMPAT_DIR_NLINK if there are no longer any directory
with >65000 subdirs.

We need to make sure that existing ext3 filesystems can also avail the
new fields that have been added to the ext4 inode. We use
s_want_extra_isize and s_min_extra_isize to decide by how much we should
expand the inode. If EXT4_FEATURE_RO_COMPAT_EXTRA_ISIZE feature is set
then we expand the inode by max(s_want_extra_isize, s_min_extra_isize ,
sizeof(ext4_inode) - EXT4_GOOD_OLD_INODE_SIZE) bytes. Actually it is
still an open question about whether users should be able to set
s_*_extra_isize smaller than the known fields or not.
This patch also adds the functionality to expand inodes to include the
newly added fields. We start by trying to expand by s_want_extra_isize
bytes and if its fails we try to expand by s_min_extra_isize bytes. This
is done by changing the i_extra_isize if enough space is available in
the inode and no EAs are present. If EAs are present and there is enough
space in the inode then the EAs in the inode are shifted to make space.
If enough space is not available in the inode due to the EAs then 1 or
more EAs are shifted to the external EA block. In the worst case when
even the external EA block does not have enough space we inform the user
that some EA would need to be deleted or s_min_extra_isize would have to
be reduced.

This patch adds nanosecond timestamps for ext4. This involves adding
*time_extra fields to the ext4_inode to extend the timestamps to
64-bits. Creation time is also added by this patch.
These extended fields will fit into an inode if the filesystem was
formatted with large inodes (-I 256 or larger) and there are currently
no EAs consuming all of the available space. For new inodes we always
reserve enough space for the kernel's known extended fields, but for
inodes created with an old kernel this might not have been the case. So
this patch also adds the EXT4_FEATURE_RO_COMPAT_EXTRA_ISIZE feature
flag(ro-compat so that older kernels can't create inodes with a smaller
extra_isize). which indicates if the fields fitting inside
s_min_extra_isize are available or not. If the expansion of inodes if
unsuccessful then this feature will be disabled. This feature is only
enabled if requested by the sysadmin.
None of the extended inode fields is critical for correct filesystem
operation.

This patch implements ->fallocate() inode operation in ext4. With this
patch users of ext4 file systems will be able to use fallocate() system
call for persistent preallocation. Current implementation only supports
preallocation for regular files (directories not supported as of date)
with extent maps. This patch does not support block-mapped files currently.
Only FALLOC_ALLOCATE and FALLOC_RESV_SPACE modes are being supported as of
now.
Signed-off-by: Amit Arora <aarora@in.ibm.com>
fallocate() is a new system call being proposed here which will allow
applications to preallocate space to any file(s) in a file system.
Each file system implementation that wants to use this feature will need
to support an inode operation called ->fallocate().
Applications can use this feature to avoid fragmentation to certain
level and thus get faster access speed. With preallocation, applications
also get a guarantee of space for particular file(s) - even if later the
the system becomes full.
Currently, glibc provides an interface called posix_fallocate() which
can be used for similar cause. Though this has the advantage of working
on all file systems, but it is quite slow (since it writes zeroes to
each block that has to be preallocated). Without a doubt, file systems
can do this more efficiently within the kernel, by implementing
the proposed fallocate() system call. It is expected that
posix_fallocate() will be modified to call this new system call first
and incase the kernel/filesystem does not implement it, it should fall
back to the current implementation of writing zeroes to the new blocks.
ToDos:
1. Implementation on other architectures (other than i386, x86_64,
and ppc). Patches for s390(x) and ia64 are already available from
previous posts, but it was decided that they should be added later
once fallocate is in the mainline. Hence not including those patches
in this take.
2. Changes to glibc,
a) to support fallocate() system call
b) to make posix_fallocate() and posix_fallocate64() call fallocate()

bitmap_unplug only ever returns 0, so it may as well be void. Two callers try
to print a message if it returns non-zero, but that message is already printed
by bitmap_file_kick.
write_page returns an error which is not consistently checked. It always
causes BITMAP_WRITE_ERROR to be set on an error, and that can more
conveniently be checked.
When the return of write_page is checked, an error causes bitmap_file_kick to
be called - so move that call into write_page - and protect against recursive
calls into bitmap_file_kick.
bitmap_update_sb returns an error that is never checked.
So make these 'void' and be consistent about checking the bit.

This allows for proper console unregistration via the VT layer, and updates
the FB layer to use it. This makes debugging new console drivers much easier,
since you can properly clean them up before unloading.
[adaplas]
unregister_framebuffer() is typically called as part of the driver's
module_exit(). Doing so otherwise will freeze the machine as the VT layer is
holding reference counts on fbcon, and fbcon on the driver. With this change,
it allows unregister_framebuffer() to be called safely anywhere as needed.
Additions from the original: If multiple drivers are used by fbcon, and if
one of them unregisters, a driver will take over the consoles vacated by the
outgoing one (via set_con2fb_map). Once only the outgoing driver remains,
then fbcon will unbind from the VT layer (if CONFIG_HW_CONSOLE_UNBINDING is
set to y).
It is important that these drivers implement fb_open() and fb_release()
just to ensure that no other process is using the driver. Likewise, these
drivers _must_ check the return value of unregister_framebuffer().

We want it to be possible for users to restrict exports both by IP address and
by pseudoflavor. The pseudoflavor information has previously been passed
using special auth_domains stored in the rq_client field. After the preceding
patch that stored the pseudoflavor in rq_pflavor, that's now superfluous; so
now we use rq_client for the ip information, as auth_null and auth_unix do.
However, we keep around the special auth_domain in the rq_gssclient field for
backwards compatibility purposes, so we can still do upcalls using the old
"gss/pseudoflavor" auth_domain if upcalls using the unix domain to give us an
appropriate export. This allows us to continue supporting old mountd.
In fact, for this first patch, we always use the "gss/pseudoflavor"
auth_domain (and only it) if it is available; thus rq_client is ignored in the
auth_gss case, and this patch on its own makes no change in behavior; that
will be left to later patches.
Note on idmap: I'm almost tempted to just replace the auth_domain in the idmap
upcall by a dummy value--no version of idmapd has ever used it, and it's
unlikely anyone really wants to perform idmapping differently depending on the
where the client is (they may want to perform *credential* mapping
differently, but that's a different matter--the idmapper just handles id's
used in getattr and setattr). But I'm updating the idmapd code anyway, just
out of general backwards-compatibility paranoia.

One more incremental delegation policy improvement: don't give out a
delegation on a file if conflicting access has previously required that a
delegation be revoked on that file. (In practice we'll forget about the
conflict when the struct nfs4_file is removed on close, so this is of limited
use for now, though it should at least solve a temporary problem with
self-conflicts on write opens from the same client.)

Our original NFSv4 delegation policy was to give out a read delegation on any
open when it was possible to.
Since the lifetime of a delegation isn't limited to that of an open, a client
may quite reasonably hang on to a delegation as long as it has the inode
cached. This becomes an obvious problem the first time a client's inode cache
approaches the size of the server's total memory.
Our first quick solution was to add a hard-coded limit. This patch makes a
mild incremental improvement by varying that limit according to the server's
total memory size, allowing at most 4 delegations per megabyte of RAM.
My quick back-of-the-envelope calculation finds that in the worst case (where
every delegation is for a different inode), a delegation could take about
1.5K, which would make the worst case usage about 6% of memory. The new limit
works out to be about the same as the old on a 1-gig server.

Both lockd and (in the nfsv4 case) nfsd enforce a "grace period" after reboot,
during which clients may reclaim locks from the previous server instance, but
may not acquire new locks.
Currently the lockd and nfsd enforce grace periods of different lengths. This
may cause problems when we reboot a server with both v2/v3 and v4 clients.
For example, if the lockd grace period is shorter (as is likely the case),
then a v3 client might acquire a new lock that conflicts with a lock already
held (but not yet reclaimed) by a v4 client.
This patch calculates a lease time that lockd and nfsd can both use.

When the exportfs interface was added the expectation was that filesystems
provide an operation to convert from a file handle to an inode/dentry, but it
kept a backwards compat option that still calls into iget.
Calling into iget from non-filesystem code is very bad, because it gives too
little information to filesystem, and simply crashes if the filesystem doesn't
implement the ->read_inode routine.
Fortunately there are only two filesystems left using this fallback: efs and
jfs. This patch moves a copy of export_iget to each of those to implement the
get_dentry method.
While this is a temporary increase of lines of code in the kernel it allows
for a much cleaner interface and important code restructuring in later
patches.

This is a driver for the SB1250 DUART, a dual serial port implementation
included in the Broadcom family of SOCs descending from the SiByte SB1250
MIPS64 chip multiprocessor. It is a new implementation replacing the
old-fashioned driver currently present in the linux-mips.org tree. It
supports all the usual features one would expect from a(n asynchronous)
serial driver, including modem line control (as far as hardware supports it
-- there is edge detection logic missing from the DCD and RI lines and the
driver does not implement polling of these lines at the moment), the serial
console, BREAK transmission and reception, including the magic SysRq. The
receive FIFO threshold is not maintained though.
The driver was tested with a SWARM board which uses a BCM1250 SOC (which is
dual MIPS64 CMP) and has both ports of the single DUART implemented wired
externally. Both were tested. Testing included using the ports as
terminal lines at 1200bps (which is the ports minimum), 115200bps and a
couple of random speeds inbetween. The modem lines were verified to
operate correctly. No testing was performed with a use as a network
interface, like with SLIP or PPP.

Currently, the freezer treats all tasks as freezable, except for the kernel
threads that explicitly set the PF_NOFREEZE flag for themselves. This
approach is problematic, since it requires every kernel thread to either
set PF_NOFREEZE explicitly, or call try_to_freeze(), even if it doesn't
care for the freezing of tasks at all.
It seems better to only require the kernel threads that want to or need to
be frozen to use some freezer-related code and to remove any
freezer-related code from the other (nonfreezable) kernel threads, which is
done in this patch.
The patch causes all kernel threads to be nonfreezable by default (ie. to
have PF_NOFREEZE set by default) and introduces the set_freezable()
function that should be called by the freezable kernel threads in order to
unset PF_NOFREEZE. It also makes all of the currently freezable kernel
threads call set_freezable(), so it shouldn't cause any (intentional)
change of behaviour to appear. Additionally, it updates documentation to
describe the freezing of tasks more accurately.

When we are out of memory of a suitable size we enter reclaim. The current
reclaim algorithm targets pages in LRU order, which is great for fairness at
order-0 but highly unsuitable if you desire pages at higher orders. To get
pages of higher order we must shoot down a very high proportion of memory;
>95% in a lot of cases.
This patch set adds a lumpy reclaim algorithm to the allocator. It targets
groups of pages at the specified order anchored at the end of the active and
inactive lists. This encourages groups of pages at the requested orders to
move from active to inactive, and active to free lists. This behaviour is
only triggered out of direct reclaim when higher order pages have been
requested.
This patch set is particularly effective when utilised with an
anti-fragmentation scheme which groups pages of similar reclaimability
together.
This patch set is based on Peter Zijlstra's lumpy reclaim V2 patch which forms
the foundation. Credit to Mel Gorman for sanitity checking.
Mel said:
The patches have an application with hugepage pool resizing.
When lumpy-reclaim is used used with ZONE_MOVABLE, the hugepages pool can
be resized with greater reliability. Testing on a desktop machine with 2GB
of RAM showed that growing the hugepage pool with ZONE_MOVABLE on it's own
was very slow as the success rate was quite low. Without lumpy-reclaim,
each attempt to grow the pool by 100 pages would yield 1 or 2 hugepages.
With lumpy-reclaim, getting 40 to 70 hugepages on each attempt was typical.

Huge pages are not movable so are not allocated from ZONE_MOVABLE. However,
as ZONE_MOVABLE will always have pages that can be migrated or reclaimed, it
can be used to satisfy hugepage allocations even when the system has been
running a long time. This allows an administrator to resize the hugepage pool
at runtime depending on the size of ZONE_MOVABLE.
This patch adds a new sysctl called hugepages_treat_as_movable. When a
non-zero value is written to it, future allocations for the huge page pool
will use ZONE_MOVABLE. Despite huge pages being non-movable, we do not
introduce additional external fragmentation of note as huge pages are always
the largest contiguous block we care about.

The following 8 patches against 2.6.20-mm2 create a zone called ZONE_MOVABLE
that is only usable by allocations that specify both __GFP_HIGHMEM and
__GFP_MOVABLE. This has the effect of keeping all non-movable pages within a
single memory partition while allowing movable allocations to be satisfied
from either partition. The patches may be applied with the list-based
anti-fragmentation patches that groups pages together based on mobility.
The size of the zone is determined by a kernelcore= parameter specified at
boot-time. This specifies how much memory is usable by non-movable
allocations and the remainder is used for ZONE_MOVABLE. Any range of pages
within ZONE_MOVABLE can be released by migrating the pages or by reclaiming.
When selecting a zone to take pages from for ZONE_MOVABLE, there are two
things to consider. First, only memory from the highest populated zone is
used for ZONE_MOVABLE. On the x86, this is probably going to be ZONE_HIGHMEM
but it would be ZONE_DMA on ppc64 or possibly ZONE_DMA32 on x86_64. Second,
the amount of memory usable by the kernel will be spread evenly throughout
NUMA nodes where possible. If the nodes are not of equal size, the amount of
memory usable by the kernel on some nodes may be greater than others.
By default, the zone is not as useful for hugetlb allocations because they are
pinned and non-migratable (currently at least). A sysctl is provided that
allows huge pages to be allocated from that zone. This means that the huge
page pool can be resized to the size of ZONE_MOVABLE during the lifetime of
the system assuming that pages are not mlocked. Despite huge pages being
non-movable, we do not introduce additional external fragmentation of note as
huge pages are always the largest contiguous block we care about.
Credit goes to Andy Whitcroft for catching a large variety of problems during
review of the patches.
This patch creates an additional zone, ZONE_MOVABLE. This zone is only usable
by allocations which specify both __GFP_HIGHMEM and __GFP_MOVABLE. Hot-added
memory continues to be placed in their existing destination as there is no
mechanism to redirect them to a specific zone.

It is often known at allocation time whether a page may be migrated or not.
This patch adds a flag called __GFP_MOVABLE and a new mask called
GFP_HIGH_MOVABLE. Allocations using the __GFP_MOVABLE can be either migrated
using the page migration mechanism or reclaimed by syncing with backing
storage and discarding.
An API function very similar to alloc_zeroed_user_highpage() is added for
__GFP_MOVABLE allocations called alloc_zeroed_user_highpage_movable(). The
flags used by alloc_zeroed_user_highpage() are not changed because it would
change the semantics of an existing API. After this patch is applied there
are no in-kernel users of alloc_zeroed_user_highpage() so it probably should
be marked deprecated if this patch is merged.
Note that this patch includes a minor cleanup to the use of __GFP_ZERO in
shmem.c to keep all flag modifications to inode->mapping in the
shmem_dir_alloc() helper function. This clean-up suggestion is courtesy of
Hugh Dickens.
Additional credit goes to Christoph Lameter and Linus Torvalds for shaping the
concept. Credit to Hugh Dickens for catching issues with shmem swap vector
and ramfs allocations.

This is a patch that speeds up statfs. It is very simple - the "overhead"
calculation, which takes a huge amount of time for large filesystems, never
changes unless the size of the filesystem itself changes. That means we can
store it in memory and only recalculate if the filesystem has been resized
(almost never).
It also fixes a minor problem that we never update the on-disk superblock free
blocks/inodes counts until the filesystem is unmounted. While not fatal, we
may as well update that on disk when we have the information, and it makes
things like debugfs and dumpe2fs report a bit more accurate info.

Imho, the current naming of cancel_xxx workqueue functions is very confusing.
cancel_delayed_work()
cancel_rearming_delayed_work()
cancel_rearming_delayed_workqueue() // obsolete
cancel_work_sync()
This looks as if the first 2 functions differ in "type" of their argument
which is not true any longer, nowadays the difference is the behaviour.
The semantics of cancel_rearming_delayed_work(dwork) was changed
significantly, it doesn't require that dwork rearms itself, and cancels dwork
synchronously.
Rename it to cancel_delayed_work_sync(). This matches cancel_delayed_work()
and cancel_work_sync(). Re-create cancel_rearming_delayed_work() as a simple
inline obsolete wrapper, like cancel_rearming_delayed_workqueue().

The current generic bug implementation has a call to dump_stack() in case a
WARN_ON(whatever) gets hit. Since report_bug(), which calls dump_stack(),
gets called from an exception handler we can do better: just pass the
pt_regs structure to report_bug() and pass it to show_regs() in case of a
warning. This will give more debug informations like register contents,
etc... In addition this avoids some pointless lines that dump_stack()
emits, since it includes a stack backtrace of the exception handler which
is of no interest in case of a warning. E.g. on s390 the following lines
are currently always present in a stack backtrace if dump_stack() gets
called from report_bug():

So to make the code consistent, this patch updates the code to use
unsigned long instead of int for the clone flags in those places
where we get it wrong today.

This patch enables the unshare of user namespaces.
It adds a new clone flag CLONE_NEWUSER and implements copy_user_ns() which
resets the current user_struct and adds a new root user (uid == 0)
For now, unsharing the user namespace allows a process to reset its
user_struct accounting and uid 0 in the new user namespace should be contained
using appropriate means, for instance selinux
The plan, when the full support is complete (all uid checks covered), is to
keep the original user's rights in the original namespace, and let a process
become uid 0 in the new namespace, with full capabilities to the new
namespace.

Basically, it will allow a process to unshare its user_struct table,
resetting at the same time its own user_struct and all the associated
accounting.
A new root user (uid == 0) is added to the user namespace upon creation.
Such root users have full privileges and it seems that theses privileges
should be controlled through some means (process capabilities ?)
The unshare is not included in this patch.
Changes since [try #4]:
- Updated get_user_ns and put_user_ns to accept NULL, and
get_user_ns to return the namespace.
Changes since [try #3]:
- moved struct user_namespace to files user_namespace.{c,h}

Add TTY input auditing, used to audit system administrator's actions. This is
required by various security standards such as DCID 6/3 and PCI to provide
non-repudiation of administrator's actions and to allow a review of past
actions if the administrator seems to overstep their duties or if the system
becomes misconfigured for unknown reasons. These requirements do not make it
necessary to audit TTY output as well.
Compared to an user-space keylogger, this approach records TTY input using the
audit subsystem, correlated with other audit events, and it is completely
transparent to the user-space application (e.g. the console ioctls still
work).
TTY input auditing works on a higher level than auditing all system calls
within the session, which would produce an overwhelming amount of mostly
useless audit events.
Add an "audit_tty" attribute, inherited across fork (). Data read from TTYs
by process with the attribute is sent to the audit subsystem by the kernel.
The audit netlink interface is extended to allow modifying the audit_tty
attribute, and to allow sending explanatory audit events from user-space (for
example, a shell might send an event containing the final command, after the
interactive command-line editing and history expansion is performed, which
might be difficult to decipher from the TTY input alone).
Because the "audit_tty" attribute is inherited across fork (), it would be set
e.g. for sshd restarted within an audited session. To prevent this, the
audit_tty attribute is cleared when a process with no open TTY file
descriptors (e.g. after daemon startup) opens a TTY.
See https://www.redhat.com/archives/linux-audit/2007-June/msg00000.html for a
more detailed rationale document for an older version of this patch.

Currently we handle spurious IRQ activity based upon seeing a lot of
invalid interrupts, and we clear things back on the base of lots of valid
interrupts.
Unfortunately in some cases you get legitimate invalid interrupts caused by
timing asynchronicity between the PCI bus and the APIC bus when disabling
interrupts and pulling other tricks. In this case although the spurious
IRQs are not a problem our unhandled counters didn't clear and they act as
a slow running timebomb. (This is effectively what the serial port/tty
problem that was fixed by clearing counters when registering a handler
showed up)
It's easy enough to add a second parameter - time. This means that if we
see a regular stream of harmless spurious interrupts which are not harming
processing we don't go off and do something stupid like disable the IRQ
after a month of running. OTOH lockups and performance killers show up a
lot more than 10/second

Part two in the O_CLOEXEC saga: adding support for file descriptors received
through Unix domain sockets.
The patch is once again pretty minimal, it introduces a new flag for recvmsg
and passes it just like the existing MSG_CMSG_COMPAT flag. I think this bit
is not used otherwise but the networking people will know better.
This new flag is not recognized by recvfrom and recv. These functions cannot
be used for that purpose and the asymmetry this introduces is not worse than
the already existing MSG_CMSG_COMPAT situations.
The patch must be applied on the patch which introduced O_CLOEXEC. It has to
remove static from the new get_unused_fd_flags function but since scm.c cannot
live in a module the function still hasn't to be exported.
Here's a test program to make sure the code works. It's so much longer than
the actual patch...

per-cpu counters presently must iterate over all possible CPUs in the

But it can be much better to only iterate over the presently-online CPUs. To
do this, we must arrange for an offlined CPU's count to be spilled into the
counter's central count.
We can do this for all percpu_counters in the machine by linking them into a
single global list and walking that list at CPU_DEAD time.
(I hope. Might have race windows in which the percpu_counter_sum() count is
inaccurate?)

pci_bus_sem and goes to sleep.
Mostly, pci_get_device should be called when irq is turned on.
ide_default_io_base just needs find if list pci_devices is empty.

This adds preliminary NUMA support to SLOB, primarily aimed at systems with
small nodes (tested all the way down to a 128kB SRAM block), whether
asymmetric or otherwise.
We follow the same conventions as SLAB/SLUB, preferring current node
placement for new pages, or with explicit placement, if a node has been
specified. Presently on UP NUMA this has the side-effect of preferring
node#0 allocations (since numa_node_id() == 0, though this could be
reworked if we could hand off a pfn to determine node placement), so
single-CPU NUMA systems will want to place smaller nodes further out in
terms of node id. Once a page has been bound to a node (via explicit node
id typing), we only do block allocations from partial free pages that have
a matching node id in the page flags.
The current implementation does have some scalability problems, in that all
partial free pages are tracked in the global freelist (with contention due
to the single spinlock). However, these are things that are being reworked
for SMP scalability first, while things like per-node freelists can easily
be built on top of this sort of functionality once it's been added.

Make zonelist creation policy selectable from sysctl/boot option v6.
This patch makes NUMA's zonelist (of pgdat) order selectable.
Available order are Default(automatic)/ Node-based / Zone-based.
[Default Order]
The kernel selects Node-based or Zone-based order automatically.
[Node-based Order]
This policy treats the locality of memory as the most important parameter.
Zonelist order is created by each zone's locality. This means lower zones
(ex. ZONE_DMA) can be used before higher zone (ex. ZONE_NORMAL) exhausion.
IOW. ZONE_DMA will be in the middle of zonelist.
current 2.6.21 kernel uses this.
Pros.
* A user can expect local memory as much as possible.
Cons.
* lower zone will be exhansted before higher zone. This may cause OOM_KILL.
Maybe suitable if ZONE_DMA is relatively big and you never see OOM_KILL
because of ZONE_DMA exhaution and you need the best locality.
(example)
assume 2 node NUMA. node(0) has ZONE_DMA/ZONE_NORMAL, node(1) has ZONE_NORMAL.
*node(0)'s memory allocation order:
node(0)'s NORMAL -> node(0)'s DMA -> node(1)'s NORMAL.
*node(1)'s memory allocation order:
node(1)'s NORMAL -> node(0)'s NORMAL -> node(0)'s DMA.
[Zone-based order]
This policy treats the zone type as the most important parameter.
Zonelist order is created by zone-type order. This means lower zone
never be used bofere higher zone exhaustion.
IOW. ZONE_DMA will be always at the tail of zonelist.
Pros.
* OOM_KILL(bacause of lower zone) occurs only if the whole zones are exhausted.
Cons.
* memory locality may not be best.
(example)
assume 2 node NUMA. node(0) has ZONE_DMA/ZONE_NORMAL, node(1) has ZONE_NORMAL.
*node(0)'s memory allocation order:
node(0)'s NORMAL -> node(1)'s NORMAL -> node(0)'s DMA.
*node(1)'s memory allocation order:
node(1)'s NORMAL -> node(0)'s NORMAL -> node(0)'s DMA.
bootoption "numa_zonelist_order=" and proc/sysctl is supporetd.
command:
%echo N > /proc/sys/vm/numa_zonelist_order
Will rebuild zonelist in Node-based order.
command:
%echo Z > /proc/sys/vm/numa_zonelist_order
Will rebuild zonelist in Zone-based order.

ttyS0 can not be enabled at that time. need to wait till uart_add_one_port in

that is too late.
Make early_uart to use early_param, so uart console can be used earlier. Make
it to be bootconsole with CON_BOOT flag, so can use console handover feature.
and it will switch to corresponding normal serial console automatically.
new command line will be:

or
earlycon=uart8250,io,0x3f8,9600n8
earlycon=uart8250,mmio,0xff5e0000,115200n8
it will print in very early stage:

console [uart0] enabled
later for console it will print:

This patch adds an iterator function for the idr data structure. Compared
to just iterating through the idr with an integer and idr_find, this
iterator is (almost, but not quite) linear in the number of elements, as
opposed to the number of integers in the range covered by the idr. This
makes a difference for sparse idrs, but more importantly, it's a nicer way
to iterate through the elements.
The drm subsystem is moving to idr for tracking contexts and drawables, and
with this change, we can use the idr exclusively for tracking these
resources.

bsg uses scsi_cmd_ioctl() for some SCSI/sg ioctl
commands. scsi_cmd_ioctl() gets a request queue from a gendisk
arguement. This prevents bsg being bound to SCSI devices that don't
have a gendisk (like OSD). This adds a request_queue argument to
scsi_cmd_ioctl(). The SCSI/sg ioctl commands doesn't use a gendisk so
it's safe for any SCSI devices to use scsi_cmd_ioctl().

There's one major change from the RFC. I dropped iovec, which needs
compat stuff. The bsg code simply calls blk_rq_map_user against
dout_xferp/din_xferp. So if possible, the page frames are directly
mapped. If not possible, the block layer allocates new page frames and

- if removed delete from lower device

Currently the set_multicast_list (and set_rx_mode) callbacks are
responsible for configuring the device according to the IFF_PROMISC,
IFF_MULTICAST and IFF_ALLMULTI flags and the mc_list (and uc_list in
case of set_rx_mode).
These callbacks can be invoked from BH context without the rtnl_mutex
by dev_mc_add/dev_mc_delete, which makes reading the device flags and
promiscous/allmulti count racy. For real hardware drivers that just
commit all changes to the hardware this is not a real problem since
the stack guarantees to call them for every change, so at least the
final call will not race and commit the correct configuration to the
hardware.
For software devices that want to synchronize promiscous and multicast
state to an underlying device however this can cause corruption of the
underlying device's flags or promisc/allmulti counts.
When the software device is concurrently put in promiscous or allmulti
mode while set_multicast_list is invoked from bottem half context, the
device might synchronize the change to the underlying device without
holding the rtnl_mutex, which races with concurrent changes to the
underlying device.
Add a dev->change_rx_flags hook that is invoked when any of the flags
that affect rx filtering change (under the rtnl_mutex), which allows
drivers to perform synchronization immediately and only synchronize
the address lists in set_multicast_list/set_rx_mode.

When a read bio is attached to the stripe and the corresponding block is
marked R5_UPTODATE, then a read (biofill) operation is scheduled to copy
the data from the stripe cache to the bio buffer. handle_stripe flags the
blocks to be operated on with the R5_Wantfill flag. If new read requests
arrive while raid5_run_ops is running they will not be handled until
handle_stripe is scheduled to run again.

handle_stripe will compute a block when a backing disk has failed, or when
it determines it can save a disk read by computing the block from all the
other up-to-date blocks.
Previously a block would be computed under the lock and subsequent logic in
handle_stripe could use the newly up-to-date block. With the raid5_run_ops
implementation the compute operation is carried out a later time outside
the lock. To preserve the old functionality we take advantage of the
dependency chain feature of async_tx to flag the block as R5_Wantcompute
and then let other parts of handle_stripe operate on the block as if it
were up-to-date. raid5_run_ops guarantees that the block will be ready
before it is used in another operation.
However, this only works in cases where the compute and the dependent
operation are scheduled at the same time. If a previous call to
handle_stripe sets the R5_Wantcompute flag there is no facility to pass the
async_tx dependency chain across successive calls to raid5_run_ops. The
req_compute variable protects against this case.

When the raid acceleration work was proposed, Neil laid out the following
attack plan:
1/ move the xor and copy operations outside spin_lock(&sh->lock)
2/ find/implement an asynchronous offload api
The raid5_run_ops routine uses the asynchronous offload api (async_tx) and
the stripe_operations member of a stripe_head to carry out xor+copy
operations asynchronously, outside the lock.
To perform operations outside the lock a new set of state flags is needed
to track new requests, in-flight requests, and completed requests. In this
new model handle_stripe is tasked with scanning the stripe_head for work,
updating the stripe_operations structure, and finally dropping the lock and
calling raid5_run_ops for processing. The following flags outline the
requests that handle_stripe can make of raid5_run_ops:
STRIPE_OP_BIOFILL
- copy data into request buffers to satisfy a read request
STRIPE_OP_COMPUTE_BLK
- generate a missing block in the cache from the other blocks
STRIPE_OP_PREXOR
- subtract existing data as part of the read-modify-write process
STRIPE_OP_BIODRAIN
- copy data out of request buffers to satisfy a write request
STRIPE_OP_POSTXOR
- recalculate parity for new data that has entered the cache
STRIPE_OP_CHECK
- verify that the parity is correct
STRIPE_OP_IO
- submit i/o to the member disks (note this was already performed outside
the stripe lock, but it made sense to add it as an operation type
The flow is:
1/ handle_stripe sets STRIPE_OP_* in sh->ops.pending
2/ raid5_run_ops reads sh->ops.pending, sets sh->ops.ack, and submits the
operation to the async_tx api
3/ async_tx triggers the completion callback routine to set
sh->ops.complete and release the stripe
4/ handle_stripe runs again to finish the operation and optionally submit
new operations that were previously blocked
Note this patch just defines raid5_run_ops, subsequent commits (one per
major operation type) modify handle_stripe to take advantage of this
routine.
Changelog:
* removed ops_complete_biodrain in favor of ops_complete_postxor and
ops_complete_write.
* removed the raid5_run_ops workqueue
* call bi_end_io for reads in ops_complete_biofill, saves a call to
handle_stripe

* remove test_and_set/test_and_clear BUG_ONs, Neil Brown

handle_stripe5 and handle_stripe6 have very deep logic paths handling the
various states of a stripe_head. By introducing the 'stripe_head_state'
and 'r6_state' objects, large portions of the logic can be moved to
sub-routines.
'struct stripe_head_state' consumes all of the automatic variables that previously
stood alone in handle_stripe5,6. 'struct r6_state' contains the handle_stripe6
specific variables like p_failed and q_failed.
One of the nice side effects of the 'stripe_head_state' change is that it
allows for further reductions in code duplication between raid5 and raid6.
The following new routines are shared between raid5 and raid6:
handle_completed_write_requests
handle_requests_to_failed_array
handle_stripe_expansion
Changes:
* v2: fixed 'conf->raid_disk-1' for the raid6 'handle_stripe_expansion' path
* v3: removed the unused 'dirty' field from struct stripe_head_state
* v3: coalesced open coded bi_end_io routines into return_io()

The async_tx api provides methods for describing a chain of asynchronous
bulk memory transfers/transforms with support for inter-transactional
dependencies. It is implemented as a dmaengine client that smooths over
the details of different hardware offload engine implementations. Code
that is written to the api can optimize for asynchronous operation and the
api will fit the chain of operations to the available offload resources.
I imagine that any piece of ADMA hardware would register with the
'async_*' subsystem, and a call to async_X would be routed as
appropriate, or be run in-line. - Neil Brown
async_tx exploits the capabilities of struct dma_async_tx_descriptor to
provide an api of the following general format:
struct dma_async_tx_descriptor *
async_<operation>(..., struct dma_async_tx_descriptor *depend_tx,
dma_async_tx_callback cb_fn, void *cb_param)
{
struct dma_chan *chan = async_tx_find_channel(depend_tx, <operation>);
struct dma_device *device = chan ? chan->device : NULL;
int int_en = cb_fn ? 1 : 0;
struct dma_async_tx_descriptor *tx = device ?
device->device_prep_dma_<operation>(chan, len, int_en) : NULL;
if (tx) { /* run <operation> asynchronously */
...
tx->tx_set_dest(addr, tx, index);
...
tx->tx_set_src(addr, tx, index);
...
async_tx_submit(chan, tx, flags, depend_tx, cb_fn, cb_param);
} else { /* run <operation> synchronously */
...
<operation>
...
async_tx_sync_epilog(flags, depend_tx, cb_fn, cb_param);
}
return tx;
}
async_tx_find_channel() returns a capable channel from its pool. The
channel pool is organized as a per-cpu array of channel pointers. The
async_tx_rebalance() routine is tasked with managing these arrays. In the
uniprocessor case async_tx_rebalance() tries to spread responsibility
evenly over channels of similar capabilities. For example if there are two
copy+xor channels, one will handle copy operations and the other will
handle xor. In the SMP case async_tx_rebalance() attempts to spread the
operations evenly over the cpus, e.g. cpu0 gets copy channel0 and xor
channel0 while cpu1 gets copy channel 1 and xor channel 1. When a
dependency is specified async_tx_find_channel defaults to keeping the
operation on the same channel. A xor->copy->xor chain will stay on one
channel if it supports both operation types, otherwise the transaction will
transition between a copy and a xor resource.
Currently the raid5 implementation in the MD raid456 driver has been
converted to the async_tx api. A driver for the offload engines on the
Intel Xscale series of I/O processors, iop-adma, is provided in a later
commit. With the iop-adma driver and async_tx, raid456 is able to offload
copy, xor, and xor-zero-sum operations to hardware engines.
On iop342 tiobench showed higher throughput for sequential writes (20 - 30%
improvement) and sequential reads to a degraded array (40 - 55%
improvement). For the other cases performance was roughly equal, +/- a few
percentage points. On a x86-smp platform the performance of the async_tx
implementation (in synchronous mode) was also +/- a few percentage points
of the original implementation. According to 'top' on iop342 CPU
utilization drops from ~50% to ~15% during a 'resync' while the speed
according to /proc/mdstat doubles from ~25 MB/s to ~50 MB/s.
The tiobench command line used for testing was: tiobench --size 2048
--block 4096 --block 131072 --dir /mnt/raid --numruns 5
* iop342 had 1GB of memory available
Details:
* if CONFIG_DMA_ENGINE=n the asynchronous path is compiled away by making
async_tx_find_channel a static inline routine that always returns NULL
* when a callback is specified for a given transaction an interrupt will
fire at operation completion time and the callback will occur in a
tasklet. if the the channel does not support interrupts then a live
polling wait will be performed
* the api is written as a dmaengine client that requests all available
channels
* In support of dependencies the api implicitly schedules channel-switch
interrupts. The interrupt triggers the cleanup tasklet which causes
pending operations to be scheduled on the next channel
* Xor engines treat an xor destination address differently than a software
xor routine. To the software routine the destination address is an implied
source, whereas engines treat it as a write-only destination. This patch
modifies the xor_blocks routine to take a an explicit destination address
to mirror the hardware.

The current implementation assumes that a channel will only be used by one
client at a time. In order to enable channel sharing the dmaengine core is
changed to a model where clients subscribe to channel-available-events.
Instead of tracking how many channels a client wants and how many it has
received the core just broadcasts the available channels and lets the
clients optionally take a reference. The core learns about the clients'
needs at dma_event_callback time.
In support of multiple operation types, clients can specify a capability
mask to only be notified of channels that satisfy a certain set of
capabilities.

The current dmaengine interface defines mutliple routines per operation,
i.e. dma_async_memcpy_buf_to_buf, dma_async_memcpy_buf_to_page etc. Adding
more operation types (xor, crc, etc) to this model would result in an
unmanageable number of method permutations.
Are we really going to add a set of hooks for each DMA engine
whizbang feature?
- Jeff Garzik
The descriptor creation process is refactored using the new common
dma_async_tx_descriptor structure. Instead of per driver
do_<operation>_<dest>_to_<src> methods, drivers integrate
dma_async_tx_descriptor into their private software descriptor and then
define a 'prep' routine per operation. The prep routine allocates a
descriptor and ensures that the tx_set_src, tx_set_dest, tx_submit routines
are valid. Descriptor creation and submission becomes:
struct dma_device *dev;
struct dma_chan *chan;
struct dma_async_tx_descriptor *tx;
tx = dev->device_prep_dma_<operation>(chan, len, int_flag)
tx->tx_set_src(dma_addr_t, tx, index /* for multi-source ops */)
tx->tx_set_dest(dma_addr_t, tx, index)
tx->tx_submit(tx)
In addition to the refactoring, dma_async_tx_descriptor also lays the
groundwork for definining cross-channel-operation dependencies, and a
callback facility for asynchronous notification of operation completion.

* drop dma mapping methods, suggested by Chris Leech
* fix ioat_dma_dependency_added, also caught by Andrew Morton

This patch removes controller driver infrastructure which supported
the now-removed usb_ep_{alloc,free}_buffer() calls.
As can be seen, many of the implementations of this were broken to
various degrees. Many didn't properly return dma-coherent mappings;
those which did so were necessarily ugly because of bogosity in the
underlying dma_free_coherent() calls ... which on many platforms
can't be called from the same contexts (notably in_irq) from which
their dma_alloc_coherent() sibling can be called.
The main potential downside of removing this is that gadget drivers
wouldn't have specific knowledge that the controller drivers have:
endpoints that aren't dma-capable don't need any dma mappings at all.

Remove usb_ep_{alloc,free}_buffer() calls, for small dma-coherent buffers.
This patch just removes the interface and its users; later patches will
remove controller driver support.
- This interface is invariably not implemented correctly in the
controller drivers (e.g. using dma pools, a mechanism which
post-dates the interface by several years).
- At this point no gadget driver really *needs* to use it. In
current kernels, any driver that needs such a mechanism could
allocate a dma pool themselves.
Removing this interface is thus a simplification and improvement.
Note that the gmidi.c driver had a bug in this area; fixed.

USB_IAD: Adds support for USB Interface Association Descriptors.
This patch adds support to the USB host stack for parsing, storing, and
displaying Interface Association Descriptors. In /proc/bus/usb/devices
lines starting with A: show the fields in an IAD. In sysfs if an
interface on a USB device is referenced by an IAD the following files
will be added to the sysfs directory for that interface:
iad_bFirstInterface, iad_bInterfaceCount, iad_bFunctionClass, and
iad_bFunctionSubClass, iad_bFunctionProtocol

USB: Add URB_FREE_BUFFER flag for freeing the transfer buffer
In some cases it is not needed that the driver keeps track of the
transfer buffer of an URB. It can be simply freed along with the
URB itself when the reference count goes down to zero. The new
flag URB_FREE_BUFFER enables this behavior.
