12 years agolib/crc: add slice by 8 algorithm to crc32.c
frank zago [Tue, 8 Nov 2011 00:20:18 +0000 (11:20 +1100)]
lib/crc: add slice by 8 algorithm to crc32.c

Add support for slice by 8 to existing crc32 algorithm.  Also modify
gen_crc32table.c to only produce table entries that are actually used.
The parameters CRC_LE_BITS and CRC_BE_BITS determine the number of bits in
the input array that are processed during each step.  Generally the more
bits the faster the algorithm is but the more table data required.

Using an x86_64 Opteron machine running at 2100MHz the following table was
collected with a pre-warmed cache by computing the crc 1000 times on a
buffer of 4096 bytes.

BITS Size LE Cycles/byte BE Cycles/byte
----------------------------------------------
1 873 41.65 34.60
2 1097 25.43 29.61
4 1057 13.29 15.28
8 2913 7.13 8.19
32 9684 2.80 2.82
64 18178 1.53 1.53

BITS is the value of CRC_LE_BITS or CRC_BE_BITS. The old
default was 8 which actually selected the 32 bit algorithm. In
this version the value 8 is used to select the standard
8 bit algorithm and two new values: 32 and 64 are introduced
to select the slice by 4 and slice by 8 algorithms respectively.

Where Size is the size of crc32.o's text segment which includes
code and table data when both LE and BE versions are set to BITS.

The current version of crc32.c by default uses the slice by 4 algorithm
which requires about 2.8 cycles per byte.  The slice by 8 algorithm is
roughly 2X faster and enables packet processing at over 1GB/sec on a
typical 2-3GHz system.

12 years agopoll: add poll_requested_events() function
Hans Verkuil [Tue, 8 Nov 2011 00:20:17 +0000 (11:20 +1100)]
poll: add poll_requested_events() function

In some cases the poll() implementation in a driver has to do different
things depending on the events the caller wants to poll for.  An example
is when a driver needs to start a DMA engine if the caller polls for
POLLIN, but doesn't want to do that if POLLIN is not requested but instead
only POLLOUT or POLLPRI is requested.  This is something that can happen
in the video4linux subsystem.

Unfortunately, the current epoll/poll/select implementation doesn't
provide that information reliably.  The poll_table_struct does have it: it
has a key field with the event mask.  But once a poll() call matches one
or more bits of that mask any following poll() calls are passed a NULL
poll_table_struct pointer.

The solution is to set the qproc field to NULL in poll_table_struct once
poll() matches the events, not the poll_table_struct pointer itself.  That
way drivers can obtain the mask through a new poll_requested_events
inline.

The poll_table_struct can still be NULL since some kernel code calls it
internally (netfs_state_poll() in ./drivers/staging/pohmelfs/netfs.h).  In
that case poll_requested_events() returns ~0 (i.e.  all events).

Since eventpoll always leaves the key field at ~0 instead of using the
requested events mask, that source was changed as well to properly fill in
the key field.

hpet: factor timer allocate from open

The current implementation of the /dev/hpet driver couples opening the
device with allocating one of the (scarce) timers (aka comparators).  This
is a limitation in that the main counter may be valuable to applications
seeking a high-resolution timer who have no use for the interrupt
generating functionality of the comparators.

This patch alters the open semantics so that when the device is opened, no
timer is allocated.  Operations that depend on a timer being in context
implicitly attempt allocating a timer, to maintain backward compatibility.
 There is also an IOCTL (HPET_ALLOC_TIMER _IO) added so that the
allocation may be done explicitly.  (I prefer the explicit open then
allocate pattern but don't know how practical it would be to require all
existing code to be changed.)

/dev/hpet is accessed via mmap().  This is the only interface of /dev/hpet
that is actually used in practice.

Add a userspace visible knob to tell the VM to keep an extra amount of
memory free, by increasing the gap between each zone's min and low
watermarks.

This is useful for realtime applications that call system calls and have a

burst.

It may also be useful to reduce the memory use of virtual machines
(temporarily?), in a way that does not cause memory fragmentation like
ballooning does.

Commit 645747462435 ("vmscan: detect mapped file pages used only once")
greatly decreases lifetime of single-used mapped file pages.
Unfortunately it also decreases life time of all shared mapped file pages.
Because after commit bf3f3bc5e7347 ("mm: don't mark_page_accessed
in fault path") page-fault handler does not mark page active or even
referenced.

Thus page_check_references() activates file page only if it was used twice
while it stays in inactive list, meanwhile it activates anon pages after
first access.  Inactive list can be small enough, this way reclaimer can
accidentally throw away any widely used page if it wasn't used twice in
short period.

After this patch page_check_references() also activate file mapped page at
first inactive list scan if this page is already used multiple times via
several ptes.

I found this while trying to fix degragation in rhel6 (~2.6.32) from rhel5
(~2.6.18).  There a complete mess with >100 web/mail/spam/ftp containers,
they share all their files but there a lot of anonymous pages: ~500mb
shared file mapped memory and 15-20Gb non-shared anonymous memory.  In
this situation major-pagefaults are very costly, because all containers
share the same page.  In my load kernel created a disproportionate
pressure on the file memory, compared with the anonymous, they equaled
only if I raise swappiness up to 150 =)

These patches actually wasn't helped a lot in my problem, but I saw
noticable (10-20 times) reduce in count and average time of
major-pagefault in file-mapped areas.

Actually both patches are fixes for commit v2.6.33-5448-g6457474, because
it was aimed at one scenario (singly used pages), but it breaks the logic
in other scenarios (shared and/or executable pages)

vmscan: fix initial shrinker size handling

A shrinker function can return -1, means that it cannot do anything
without a risk of deadlock.  For example prune_super() does this if it
cannot grab a superblock refrence, even if nr_to_scan=0.  Currently we
interpret this -1 as a ULONG_MAX size shrinker and evaluate `total_scan'
according to this.  So the next time around this shrinker can cause really
big pressure.  Let's skip such shrinkers instead.

Also make total_scan signed, otherwise the check (total_scan < 0) below

cciss: auto engage SCSI mid layer at driver load time

A long time ago, probably in 2002, one of the distros, or maybe more than
one, loaded block drivers prior to loading the SCSI mid layer.  This meant
that the cciss driver, being a block driver, could not engage the SCSI mid
layer at init time without panicking, and relied on being poked by a
userland program after the system was up (and the SCSI mid layer was
therefore present) to engage the SCSI mid layer.

This is no longer the case, and cciss can safely rely on the SCSI mid
layer being present at init time and engage the SCSI mid layer straight
away.  This means that users will see their tape drives and medium
changers at driver load time without need for a script in /etc/rc.d that
does this:

for x in /proc/driver/cciss/cciss*
do
echo "engage scsi" > $x
done

However, if no tape drives or medium changers are detected, the SCSI mid
layer will not be engaged.  If a tape drive or medium change is later
hot-added to the system it will then be necessary to use the above script
or similar for the device(s) to be acceesible.

ext4: use proper little-endian bitops

ext4_{set,clear}_bit() is defined as __test_and_{set,clear}_bit_le() for
ext4.  Only two ext4_{set,clear}_bit() calls check the return value.  The
rest of calls ignore the return value and they can be replaced with
__{set,clear}_bit_le().

This changes ext4_{set,clear}_bit() from __test_and_{set,clear}_bit_le()
to __{set,clear}_bit_le() and introduces ext4_test_and_{set,clear}_bit()
for the two places where old bit needs to be returned.

This ext4_{set,clear}_bit() change is considered safe, because if someone
uses these macros without noticing the change, new ext4_{set,clear}_bit
don't have return value and causes compiler errors where the return value
is used.

This also removes unused ext4_find_first_zero_bit().

ipc/mqueue: update maximums for the mqueue subsystem

Commit b231cca4381ee ("message queues: increase range limits") changed the
maximum size of a message in a message queue from INT_MAX to 8192*128.
Unfortunately, we had customers that relied on a size much larger than
8192*128 on their production systems.  After reviewing POSIX, we found
that it is silent on the maximum message size.  We did find a couple other
areas in which it was not silent.  Fix up the mqueue maximums so that the
customer's system can continue to work, and document both the POSIX and
real world requirements in ipc_namespace.h so that we don't have this
issue crop back up.

Also, commit 9cf18e1dd74c ("ipc: HARD_MSGMAX should be higher not lower on
64bit") fiddled with HARD_MSGMAX without realizing that the number was
intentionally in place to limit the msg queue depth to one that was small
enough to kmalloc an array of pointers (hence why we divided 128k by
sizeof(long)).  If we wish to meet POSIX requirements, we have no choice
but to change our allocation to a vmalloc instead (at least for the large
queue size case).  With that, it's possible to increase our allowed
maximum to the POSIX requirements (or more if we choose).

ipc/mqueue: cleanup definition names and locations

We had a customer come up with a problem while trying to upgrade from our
2.6.18 kernel to our 2.6.32 kernel.  In diagnosing their problem, it was
determined that when commit b231cca4 ("message queues: increase range
limits") changed the msg size max from INT_MAX to 8192*128, that's what
broke their setup.

While fixing this problem, testing showed that if you increase the max
values of a msg queue, then attempt to create one without an attr struct
passed in to the open call, it could fail because it sets the queue size
to the max of both the msg size and queue size.  If these are large
enough, they over run the default RLIMIT_MSGQUEUE.  This change was also
introduced in the b231cca4 ("message queues: increase range limits")
commit.

We then found that the msg queue limits were not all being enforced on
CAP_SYS_RESOURCE apps.

Finally, we found that commit 9cf18e1d ("ipc: HARD_MSGMAX should be higher
not lower on 64bit") fiddled with HARD_MSGMAX without realizing that the
reason it was set to what it was, was to avoid trying to kmalloc a chunk
larger than 128K.

So this series of patches cleans up the various defines, takes us back to
having a larger HARD_MSGSIZEMAX, goes back to using a separate define for
the case where a user doesn't pass in an attr struct in case the maxes
have been raised too large for RLIMIT_MSGQUEUE, enforces the maximums on
CAP_SYS_RESOURCE apps, uses vmalloc instead of kmalloc when the msg
pointer array is too large, and documents all of this so it shouldn't
happen again.

This patch:

The various defines for minimums and maximums of the sysctl controllable
mqueue values are scattered amongst different files and named
inconsistently.  Move them all into ipc_namespace.h and make them have
consistent names.  Additionally, make the number of queues per namespace
also have a minimum and maximum and use the same sysctl function as the
other two settable variables.

This will also make it later possible to dynamically allocate lglocks.

In general the users now look more like normal function calls with
pointers, not magic macros.

x86/paravirt: PTE updates in k(un)map_atomic need to be synchronous, regardless of lazy_mmu mode

Fix an outstanding issue that has been reported since 2.6.37.  Under a
heavy loaded machine processing "fork()" calls could crash with:

The problem is that in copy_page_range() we turn lazy mode on, and then in
swap_entry_free() we call swap_count_continued() which ends up in:

         map = kmap_atomic(page, KM_USER0) + offset;

and then later we touch *map.

Since we are running in batched mode (lazy) we don't actually set up the
PTE mappings and the kmap_atomic is not done synchronously and ends up
trying to dereference a page that has not been set.

Looking at kmap_atomic_prot_pfn(), it uses 'arch_flush_lazy_mmu_mode' and
doing the same in kmap_atomic_prot() and __kunmap_atomic() makes the problem
go away.

Interestingly, commit b8bcfe997e4615 ("x86/paravirt: remove lazy mode in
interrupts") removed part of this to fix an interrupt issue - but it went
to far and did not consider this scenario.

Adds hooks for an arch-specific function for clock calibration.  These
hooks are used on x86.  If a newly started cpu has the same phys_proc_id
as a core already active, uses the TSC for the delay loop and has a
CONSTANT_TSC, use the already-calculated value of loops_per_jiffy.

This patch reduces the time required to start slave cpus on a 4096 cpu

Alex Bligh [Tue, 8 Nov 2011 00:19:50 +0000 (11:19 +1100)]
net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_netlink.c: fix Oops on container destroy

Problem:

A repeatable Oops can be caused if a container with networking
unshared is destroyed when it has nf_conntrack entries yet to expire.

A copy of the oops follows below. A perl program generating the oops
repeatably is attached inline below.

Analysis:

The oops is called from cleanup_net when the namespace is
destroyed. conntrack iterates through outstanding events and calls
death_by_timeout on each of them, which in turn produces a call to
ctnetlink_conntrack_event. This calls nf_netlink_has_listeners, which
oopses because net->nfnl is NULL.

The perl program generates the container through fork() then
clone(NS_NEWNET). I does not explicitly set up netlink
explicitly set up netlink, but I presume it was set up else net->nfnl
would have been NULL earlier (i.e. when an earlier connection
timed out). This would thus suggest that net->nfnl is made NULL
during the destruction of the container, which I think is done by
nfnetlink_net_exit_batch.

I can see that the various subsystems are deinitialised in the opposite
order to which the relevant register_pernet_subsys calls are called,
and both nf_conntrack and nfnetlink_net_ops register their relevant
subsystems. If nfnetlink_net_ops registered later than nfconntrack,
then its exit routine would have been called first, which would cause
the oops described. I am not sure there is anything to prevent this
happening in a container environment.

Whilst there's perhaps a more complex problem revolving around ordering
of subsystem deinit, it seems to me that missing a netlink event on a
container that is dying is not a disaster. An early check for net->nfnl
being non-NULL in ctnetlink_conntrack_event appears to fix this. There
may remain a potential race condition if it becomes NULL immediately
after being checked (I am not sure any lock is held at this point or
how synchronisation for subsystem deinitialization works).

Patch:

The patch attached should apply on everything from 2.6.26 (if not before)
onwards; it appears to be a problem on all kernels. This was taken against
Ubuntu-3.0.0-11.17 which is very close to 3.0.4. I have torture-tested it
with the above perl script for 15 minutes or so; the perl script hung the
machine within 20 seconds without this patch.

Applicability:

If this is the right solution, it should be applied to all stable kernels
as well as head. Apart from the minor overhead of checking one variable
against NULL, it can never 'do the wrong thing', because if net->nfnl
is NULL, an oops will inevitably result. Therefore, checking is a reasonable
thing to do unless it can be proven than net->nfnl will never be NULL.

Check net->nfnl for NULL in ctnetlink_conntrack_event to avoid Oops on
container destroy
