Increased storvsc ringbuffer and max_io_requests. This now more
closely mimics the numbers on Hyper-V. And will allow more IO requests
to take place for the SCSI driver.
Max_IO is set to double from what it was before, Hyper-V allows it and
we have had appliance builder requests to see if it was a problem to
increase the number.
Ringbuffer size for storvsc is now increased because I have seen A few buffer
problems on extremely busy systems. They were Set pretty low before.
And since max_io_requests is increased I Really needed to increase the buffer
as well.
Fixed the value of the 64bit-hole inside ring buffer, this
caused a problem on Hyper-V when running checked Windows builds.
Checked builds of Windows are used internally and given to external
system integrators at times. They are builds that for example that all
elements in a structure follow the definition of that Structure. The bug
this fixed was for a field that we did not fill in at all (Because we do
Not use it on the Linux side), and the checked build of windows gives
errors on it internally to the Windows logs.
Fixed bounce offset kmap problem by using correct index.
The symptom of the problem is that in some NAS appliances this problem

small files.
Fix missing functions for net_device_ops.
It's a bug when porting the drivers from 2.6.27 to 2.6.32. In 2.6.27,
the default functions for Ethernet, like eth_change_mtu(), were assigned
by ether_setup(). But in 2.6.32, these function pointers moved to
net_device_ops structure and no longer be assigned in ether_setup(). So
we need to set these functions in our driver code. It will ensure the
MTU won't be set beyond 1500. Otherwise, this can cause an error on the
server side, because the HyperV linux driver doesn't support jumbo frame
yet.
Since ALC259/269 use the same parser of ALC268, the pin 0x1b was ignored
as an invalid widget. Just add this NID to handle properly.
This will add the missing mixer controls for some devices.
While the original problem only caused a slight disturbance on the
edge of the touchpad, the commit above to "fix" it completely breaks
operation on some other models such as mine.
We'll sort this out separately, revert the patch for now.
If we write into an unwritten extent using AIO we need to complete the AIO
request after the extent conversion has finished. Without that a read could
race to see see the extent still unwritten and return zeros. For synchronous
I/O we already take care of that by flushing the xfsconvertd workqueue (which
might be a bit of overkill).
To do that add iocb and result fields to struct xfs_ioend, so that we can
call aio_complete from xfs_end_io after the extent conversion has happened.
Note that we need a new result field as io_error is used for positive errno
values, while the AIO code can return negative error values and positive
transfer sizes.

This patch is to be applied upon Christoph's "direct-io: move aio_complete
into ->end_io" patch. It adds iocb and result fields to struct ext4_io_end_t,
so that we can call aio_complete from ext4_end_io_nolock() after the extent
conversion has finished.
I have verified with Christoph's aio-dio test that used to fail after a few
runs on an original kernel but now succeeds on the patched kernel.
See http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.file-systems.ext4/19659 for details.
Filesystems with unwritten extent support must not complete an AIO request
until the transaction to convert the extent has been commited. That means
the aio_complete calls needs to be moved into the ->end_io callback so
that the filesystem can control when to call it exactly.
This makes a bit of a mess out of dio_complete and the ->end_io callback
prototype even more complicated.

commit 2ca1af9aa3285c6a5f103ed31ad09f7399fc65d7 "PCI: MSI: Remove
unsafe and unnecessary hardware access" changed read_msi_msg_desc() to
return the last MSI message written instead of reading it from the
device, since it may be called while the device is in a reduced
power state.
However, the pSeries platform code really does need to read messages
from the device, since they are initially written by firmware.
Therefore:
- Restore the previous behaviour of read_msi_msg_desc()
- Add new functions get_cached_msi_msg{,_desc}() which return the
last MSI message written
- Use the new functions where appropriate

During suspend on an SMP system, {read,write}_msi_msg_desc() may be
called to mask and unmask interrupts on a device that is already in a
reduced power state. At this point memory-mapped registers including
MSI-X tables are not accessible, and config space may not be fully
functional either.
While a device is in a reduced power state its interrupts are
effectively masked and its MSI(-X) state will be restored when it is
brought back to D0. Therefore these functions can simply read and
write msi_desc::msg for devices not in D0.
Further, read_msi_msg_desc() should only ever be used to update a
previously written message, so it can always read msi_desc::msg
and never needs to touch the hardware.

TSC's get reset after suspend/resume (even on cpu's with invariant TSC
which runs at a constant rate across ACPI P-, C- and T-states). And in
some systems BIOS seem to reinit TSC to arbitrary large value (still
sync'd across cpu's) during resume.
This leads to a scenario of scheduler rq->clock (sched_clock_cpu()) less
than rq->age_stamp (introduced in 2.6.32). This leads to a big value
returned by scale_rt_power() and the resulting big group power set by the
update_group_power() is causing improper load balancing between busy and
idle cpu's after suspend/resume.
This resulted in multi-threaded workloads (like kernel-compilation) go
slower after suspend/resume cycle on core i5 laptops.
Fix this by recomputing cyc2ns_offset's during resume, so that
sched_clock() continues from the point where it was left off during
suspend.
Writeback is not terminating in background writeback if ->writepage is
returning with wbc->nr_to_write == 0, resulting in sub-optimal single page
writeback on XFS.
Fix the write_cache_pages loop to terminate correctly when this situation
occurs and so prevent this sub-optimal background writeback pattern. This
improves sustained sequential buffered write performance from around
250MB/s to 750MB/s for a 100GB file on an XFS filesystem on my 8p test VM.

Under heavy load parallel metadata loads (e.g. dbench), we can fail
to mark all the inodes in a cluster being freed as XFS_ISTALE as we
skip inodes we cannot get the XFS_ILOCK_EXCL or the flush lock on.
When this happens and the inode cluster buffer has already been
marked stale and freed, inode reclaim can try to write the inode out
as it is dirty and not marked stale. This can result in writing th
metadata to an freed extent, or in the case it has already
been overwritten trigger a magic number check failure and return an
EUCLEAN error such as:
Filesystem "ram0": inode 0x442ba1 background reclaim flush failed with 117

Commit 7124fe0a5b619d65b739477b3b55a20bf805b06d ("xfs: validate untrusted inode
numbers during lookup") changes the inode lookup code to do btree lookups for
untrusted inode numbers. This change made an invalid assumption about the
alignment of inodes and hence incorrectly calculated the first inode in the
cluster. As a result, some inode numbers were being incorrectly considered
invalid when they were actually valid.
The issue was not picked up by the xfstests suite because it always runs fsr
and dump (the two utilities that utilise the bulkstat interface) on cache hot
inodes and hence the lookup code in the cold cache path was not sufficiently
exercised to uncover this intermittent problem.
Fix the issue by relaxing the btree lookup criteria and then checking if the
record returned contains the inode number we are lookup for. If it we get an
incorrect record, then the inode number is invalid.

As a result, use handle_edge_irq rather than handle_level_irq.
This has the important side-effect of fixing a long-standing bug of
events getting lost if:
- an event's interrupt handler is running
- the event is migrated to a different vcpu
- the event is re-triggered

Unfortunately, the current timer tracing is not very useful: the

Although this is recorded for timer "start" time (when it gets

There is a scalability issue for current implementation of optimistic
mutex spin in the kernel. It is found on a 8 node 64 core Nehalem-EX
system (HT mode).
The intention of the optimistic mutex spin is to busy wait and spin on a
mutex if the owner of the mutex is running, in the hope that the mutex
will be released soon and be acquired, without the thread trying to
acquire mutex going to sleep. However, when we have a large number of
threads, contending for the mutex, we could have the mutex grabbed by
other thread, and then another ……, and we will keep spinning, wasting cpu
cycles and adding to the contention. One possible fix is to quit
spinning and put the current thread on wait-list if mutex lock switch to
a new owner while we spin, indicating heavy contention (see the patch
included).
I did some testing on a 8 socket Nehalem-EX system with a total of 64
cores. Using Ingo's test-mutex program that creates/delete files with 256
threads (http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/1/8/50) , I see the following speed up
after putting in the mutex spin fix:
./mutex-test V 256 10
Ops/sec
2.6.34 62864
With fix 197200
Repeating the test with Aim7 fserver workload, again there is a speed up
with the fix:
Jobs/min
2.6.34 91657
With fix 149325
To look at the impact on the distribution of mutex acquisition time, I
collected the mutex acquisition time on Aim7 fserver workload with some
instrumentation. The average acquisition time is reduced by 48% and
number of contentions reduced by 32%.
#contentions Time to acquire mutex (cycles)
2.6.34 72973 44765791
With fix 49210 23067129
The histogram of mutex acquisition time is listed below. The acquisition
time is in 2^bin cycles. We see that without the fix, the acquisition
time is mostly around 2^26 cycles. With the fix, we the distribution get
spread out a lot more towards the lower cycles, starting from 2^13.
However, there is an increase of the tail distribution with the fix at
2^28 and 2^29 cycles. It seems a small price to pay for the reduced
average acquisition time and also getting the cpu to do useful work.
I've done similar experiments with 2.6.35 kernel on smaller boxes as
well. One is on a dual-socket Westmere box (12 cores total, with HT).
Another experiment is on an old dual-socket Core 2 box (4 cores total, no
HT)
On the 12-core Westmere box, I see a 250% increase for Ingo's mutex-test
program with my mutex patch but no significant difference in aim7's
fserver workload.
On the 4-core Core 2 box, I see the difference with the patch for both
mutex-test and aim7 fserver are negligible.
So far, it seems like the patch has not caused regression on smaller
systems.

The code to increment the TRB pointer has a slight ambiguity that could
lead to a bug on different compilers. The ANSI C specification does not
specify the precedence of the assignment operator over the postfix
operator. gcc 4.4 produced the correct code (increment the pointer and
assign the value), but a MIPS compiler that one of John's clients used
assigned the old (unincremented) value.

This patch separates the device deletion code from dm_put()
to make sure the deletion happens in the process context.
By this patch, device deletion always occurs in an ioctl (process)
context and dm_put() can be called in interrupt context.
As a result, the request-based dm's bad dm_put() usage pointed out
by Mikulas below disappears.
http://marc.info/?l=dm-devel&m=126699981019735&w=2
Without this patch, I confirmed there is a case to crash the system:
dm_put() => dm_table_destroy() => vfree() => BUG_ON(in_interrupt())
Some more backgrounds and details:
In request-based dm, a device opener can remove a mapped_device
while the last request is still completing, because bios in the last
request complete first and then the device opener can close and remove
the mapped_device before the last request completes:
CPU0 CPU1
=================================================================
<<INTERRUPT>>
blk_end_request_all(clone_rq)
blk_update_request(clone_rq)
bio_endio(clone_bio) == end_clone_bio
blk_update_request(orig_rq)
bio_endio(orig_bio)
<<I/O completed>>
dm_blk_close()
dev_remove()
dm_put(md)
<<Free md>>
blk_finish_request(clone_rq)
....
dm_end_request(clone_rq)
free_rq_clone(clone_rq)
blk_end_request_all(orig_rq)
rq_completed(md)
So request-based dm used dm_get()/dm_put() to hold md for each I/O
until its request completion handling is fully done.
However, the final dm_put() can call the device deletion code which
must not be run in interrupt context and may cause kernel panic.
To solve the problem, this patch moves the device deletion code,
dm_destroy(), to predetermined places that is actually deleting
the mapped_device in ioctl (process) context, and changes dm_put()
just to decrement the reference count of the mapped_device.
By this change, dm_put() can be used in any context and the symmetric
model below is introduced:
dm_create(): create a mapped_device
dm_destroy(): destroy a mapped_device
dm_get(): increment the reference count of a mapped_device
dm_put(): decrement the reference count of a mapped_device
dm_destroy() waits for all references of the mapped_device to disappear,
then deletes the mapped_device.
dm_destroy() uses active waiting with msleep(1), since deleting
the mapped_device isn't performance-critical task.
And since at this point, nobody opens the mapped_device and no new
reference will be taken, the pending counts are just for racing
completing activity and will eventually decrease to zero.
For the unlikely case of the forced module unload, dm_destroy_immediate(),
which doesn't wait and forcibly deletes the mapped_device, is also
introduced and used in dm_hash_remove_all(). Otherwise, "rmmod -f"
may be stuck and never return.
And now, because the mapped_device is deleted at this point, subsequent
accesses to the mapped_device may cause NULL pointer references.
Currently the driver will try to protect all frames,
which leads to a lot of odd things like sending an
RTS with a zeroed RA before multicast frames, which
is clearly bogus.
In order to fix all of this, we need to take a step
back and see what we need to achieve:
* we need RTS/CTS protection if requested by
the AP for the BSS, mac80211 tells us this
* in that case, CTS-to-self should only be
enabled when mac80211 tells us
* additionally, as a hardware workaround, on
some devices we have to protect aggregated
frames with RTS
To achieve the first two items, set up the RXON
accordingly and set the protection required flag
in the transmit command when mac80211 requests
protection for the frame.
To achieve the last item, set the rate-control
RTS-requested flag for all stations that we have
aggregation sessions with, and set the protection
required flag when sending aggregated frames (on
those devices where this is required).
Since otherwise bugs can occur, do not allow the
user to override the RTS-for-aggregation setting
from sysfs any more.
Finally, also clean up the way all these flags get
set in the driver and move everything into the
device-specific functions.

skb_orphan_try()) allows an early orphan of the skb and takes care on
tx timestamping, which needs the sk-reference in the skb on driver level.
So does the can-raw socket, which has not been taken into account here.
The patch below adds a 'prevent_sk_orphan' bit in the skb tx shared info,
which fixes the problem discovered by Matthias Fuchs here:
Even if it's not a primary tx timestamp topic it fits well into some skb
shared tx context. Or should be find a different place for the information to
protect the sk reference until it reaches the driver level?

The tv_nsec is a long and when added to the shifted interval it can wrap
and become negative which later causes looping problems in the
getrawmonotonic(). The edge case occurs when the system has slept for
a short period of time of ~2 seconds.
A trace printk of the values in this patch illustrate the problem:
The kernel starts looping at 46.349925 in the getrawmonotonic() due to
the negative value from adding the raw value to tv_nsec.
A simple solution is to accumulate into a u64, and then normalize it
to a timespec_t.

Make /dev/console get initialised before any initialisation routine that
invokes modprobe because if modprobe fails, it's going to want to open
/dev/console, presumably to write an error message to.
The problem with that is that if the /dev/console driver is not yet
initialised, the chardev handler will call request_module() to invoke
modprobe, which will fail, because we never compile /dev/console as a
module.
This will lead to a modprobe loop, showing the following in the kernel
log:
This can happen, for example, when the built in md5 module can't find
the built in cryptomgr module (because the latter fails to initialise).
The md5 module comes before the call to tty_init(), presumably because
'crypto' comes before 'drivers' alphabetically.
Fix this by calling tty_init() from chrdev_init().
pskb_may_pull() may change skb pointers, so adjust icmph after pskb_may_pull().

This patch adds a limit for nframes as the number of frames in TX_SETUP and
RX_SETUP are derived from a single byte multiplex value by default.
Use-cases that would require to send/filter more than 256 CAN frames should
be implemented in userspace for complexity reasons anyway.
Additionally the assignments of unsigned values from userspace to signed
values in kernelspace and vice versa are fixed by using unsigned values in

The key issue is that we must register all serial console capable

themselves as console devices if the OpenFirmware specified console
device node matched. To fix this part we now unconditionally get

This patch fixes alignment of slab objects in case CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is
active.
Before this spot in kmem_cache_create, we have this situation:
- align contains the required alignment of the object
- cachep->obj_offset is 0 or equals align in case of CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB
- size equals the size of the object, or object plus trailing redzone in case
of CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB
This spot tries to fill one page per object if the object is in certain size
limits, however setting obj_offset to PAGE_SIZE - size does break the object
alignment since size may not be aligned with the required alignment.
This patch simply adds an ALIGN(size, align) to the equation and fixes the
object size detection accordingly.
This code in drivers/s390/cio/qdio_setup_init has lead to incorrectly aligned
slab objects (sizeof(struct qdio_q) equals 1792):
qdio_q_cache = kmem_cache_create("qdio_q", sizeof(struct qdio_q),
256, 0, NULL);

Furthermore, the loading of the old value inside the loop in the

Like the mlock() change previously, this makes the stack guard check
code use vma->vm_prev to see what the mapping below the current stack
is, rather than have to look it up with find_vma().
Also, accept an abutting stack segment, since that happens naturally if
you split the stack with mlock or mprotect.
It's a really simple list, and several of the users want to go backwards
in it to find the previous vma. So rather than have to look up the
previous entry with 'find_vma_prev()' or something similar, just make it
doubly linked instead.
This patch changes dm_hash_remove_all() to release _hash_lock when
removing a device. After removing the device, dm_hash_remove_all()
takes _hash_lock and searches the hash from scratch again.
This patch is a preparation for the next patch, which changes device
deletion code to wait for md reference to be 0. Without this patch,
the wait in the next patch may cause AB-BA deadlock:
CPU0 CPU1
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
dm_hash_remove_all()
down_write(_hash_lock)
table_status()
md = find_device()
dm_get(md)
<increment md->holders>
dm_get_live_or_inactive_table()
dm_get_inactive_table()
down_write(_hash_lock)
<in the md deletion code>
<wait for md->holders to be 0>
This patch prevents access to mapped_device which is being deleted.
Currently, even after a mapped_device has been removed from the hash,
it could be accessed through idr_find() using minor number.
That could cause a race and NULL pointer reference below:
