2008-07-09SUNRPC: Display some debugging information as text rather than numbersChuck Lever
In rpc_show_tasks(), display the program name, version number, procedure name and tk_action as human-readable variable-length text fields rather than columnar numbers. Doing the symbol lookup here helps in cases where we have actual debugging output from a kernel log, but don't have access to the kernel image or RPC module that generated the output. Sample output: -pid- flgs status -client- --rqstp- -timeout ---ops-- 5608 0001 -11 eeb42690 f6d93710 0 f8fa1764 nfsv3 WRITE a:call_transmit_status q:none 5609 0001 -11 eeb42690 f6d937e0 0 f8fa1764 nfsv3 WRITE a:call_status q:xprt_sending 5610 0001 -11 eeb42690 f6d93230 0 f8fa1764 nfsv3 WRITE a:call_status q:xprt_sending 5611 0001 -11 eeb42690 f6d93300 0 f8fa1764 nfsv3 WRITE a:call_status q:xprt_sending 5612 0001 -11 eeb42690 f6d93090 0 f8fa1764 nfsv3 WRITE a:call_status q:xprt_sending 5613 0001 -11 eeb42690 f6d933d0 0 f8fa1764 nfsv3 WRITE a:call_status q:xprt_sending 5614 0001 -11 eeb42690 f6d93cc0 0 f8fa1764 nfsv3 WRITE a:call_status q:xprt_sending 5615 0001 -11 eeb42690 f6d93a50 0 f8fa1764 nfsv3 WRITE a:call_status q:xprt_sending 5616 0001 -11 eeb42690 f6d93640 0 f8fa1764 nfsv3 WRITE a:call_status q:xprt_sending 5617 0001 -11 eeb42690 f6d93b20 0 f8fa1764 nfsv3 WRITE a:call_status q:xprt_sending 5618 0001 -11 eeb42690 f6d93160 0 f8fa1764 nfsv3 WRITE a:call_status q:xprt_sending Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

2008-07-09SUNRPC: Don't display the rpc_show_tasks header if there are no tasksChuck Lever
Clean up: don't display the rpc_show_tasks column header unless there is at least one task to display. As far as I can tell, it is safe to let the list_for_each_entry macro decide that each list is empty. scripts/checkpatch.pl also wants a KERN_FOO at the start of any newly added printk() calls, so this and subsequent patches will also add KERN_INFO.

2008-07-09SUNRPC: Rename "call_" functions that are no longer FSM statesChuck Lever
The RPC client uses a finite state machine to move RPC tasks through each step of an RPC request. Each state is contained in a function in net/sunrpc/clnt.c, and named call_foo. Some of the functions named call_foo have changed over the past few years and are no longer states in the FSM. These include: call_encode, call_header, and call_verify. As a clean up, rename the functions that have changed. Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

2008-07-09NFS: Revert commit 44dd151dTrond Myklebust
Revert commit 44dd151d "NFS: Don't mark a written page as uptodate until it is on disk". While it is true that the write may fail, that is always the case. There is no reason why we should treat data on pages that are not already marked as PG_uptodate as being special. The only thing we gain is a noticeable slowdown when re-reading these pages.

2008-07-09NFS: Optimise append writes with holesTrond Myklebust
If a file is being extended, and we're creating a hole, we might as well declare the entire page to be up to date.

2008-07-09SUNRPC: An ENOMEM error from call_encode is always fatalTrond Myklebust
The special 'ENOMEM' case that was previously flagged as non-fatal is bogus: auth_gss always returns EAGAIN for non-fatal errors, and may in fact return ENOMEM in the special case where xdr_buf_read_netobj runs out of preallocated buffer space (invariably a _fatal_ error, since there is no provision for preallocating larger buffers).

2008-07-09NFS: Add correct bounds checking to NFSv2 locksTrond Myklebust
NFSv2 file locking currently fails the Connectathon tests, because the calls to the VFS locking code do not return an EINVAL error if the struct file_lock overflows the 32-bit boundaries. The problem is due to the fact that we occasionally call helpers from fs/locks.c in order to avoid RPC calls to the server when we know that a local process holds the lock. These helpers are, of course, always 64-bit enabled, so EINVAL is not returned in cases when it would if the call had gone to the NLM code. For consistency, we therefore add support for a bounds-checking helper. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
2008-07-09NFS: Fix a preemption count leak in nfs_update_requestTrond Myklebust
The commit 2785259631697ebb0749a3782cca206e2e542939 (nfs: use GFP_NOFS preloads for radix-tree insertion) appears to have introduced a bug: We only want to call radix_tree_preload() once after creating a request.

With the removal of struct file from the xattr code, reiserfs_file_release() isn't used anymore, so the prealloc isn't discarded. This causes hangs later down the line.

2008-07-08NFS: Fix readdir cache invalidationTrond Myklebust
invalidate_inode_pages2_range() takes page offset arguments, not byte ranges. Another thought is that individual pages might perhaps get evicted by VM pressure, in which case we might perhaps want to re-read not only the evicted page, but all subsequent pages too (in case the server returns more/less data per page so that the alignment of the next entry changes). We should therefore remove the condition that we only do this on page->index==0. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

2008-07-08palm_bk3710: fix IDECLK period calculationSergei Shtylyov
The driver uses completely bogus rounding formula for calculating period from the IDECLK frequency which gives one-off period values (e.g. 11 ns with 100 MHz IDECLK) which in turn can lead to overclocked IDE transfer timings. Actually, rounding is just wrong in this case, so use a mere division for a safe result. While at it, also: - give 'ide_palm_clk' variable a more suitable name; - get rid of the useless 'ideclkp' variable; - drop the LISP stype 'p' postfix from the 'clkp' variable's name. :-) Signed-off-by: Sergei Shtylyov <sshtylyov@ru.mvista.com> Cc: mcherkashin@ru.mvista.com Signed-off-by: Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz <bzolnier@gmail.com>

Add __ide_default_irq() inline helper and use it instead of ide_default_irq() in ide-probe.c and ns87415.c (all host drivers except IDE PCI ones always setup hwif->irq so it is enough to check only for I/O bases 0x1f0 and 0x170). This fixes post-2.6.25 regression since ide_default_irq() define could shadow ide_default_irq() inline. Signed-off-by: Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz <bzolnier@gmail.com>

2008-07-08Correct hash flushing from huge_ptep_set_wrprotect()David Gibson
As Andy Whitcroft recently pointed out, the current powerpc version of huge_ptep_set_wrprotect() has a bug. It just calls ptep_set_wrprotect() which in turn calls pte_update() then hpte_need_flush() with the 'huge' argument set to 0. This will cause hpte_need_flush() to flush the wrong hash entries (of any). Andy's fix for this is already in the powerpc tree as commit 016b33c4958681c24056abed8ec95844a0da80a3. I have confirmed this is a real bug, not masked by some other synchronization, with a new testcase for libhugetlbfs. A process write a (MAP_PRIVATE) hugepage mapping, fork(), then alter the mapping and have the child incorrectly see the second write. Therefore, this should be fixed for 2.6.26, and for the stable tree. Here is a suitable patch for 2.6.26, which I think will also be suitable for the stable tree (neither of the headers in question has been changed much recently). It is cut down slighlty from Andy's original version, in that it does not include a 32-bit version of huge_ptep_set_wrprotect(). Currently, hugepages are not supported on any 32-bit powerpc platform. When they are, a suitable 32-bit version can be added - the only 32-bit hardware which supports hugepages does not use the conventional hashtable MMU and so will have different needs anyway.

A recent patch to legacy_serial.c factored out some code by using the of_match_node() facility to match a node against an array of possible matches.

2008-07-06vsprintf: add support for '%pS' and '%pF' pointer formatsLinus Torvalds
They print out a pointer in symbolic format, if possible (ie using symbolic KALLSYMS information). The '%pS' format is for regular direct pointers (which can point to data or code and that you find on the stack during backtraces etc), while '%pF' is for C function pointer types. On most architectures, the two mean exactly the same thing, but some architectures use an indirect pointer for C function pointers, where the function pointer points to a function descriptor (which in turn contains the actual pointer to the code). The '%pF' code automatically does the appropriate function descriptor dereference on such architectures. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2008-07-06vsprintf: add infrastructure support for extended '%p' specifiersLinus Torvalds
This expands the kernel '%p' handling with an arbitrary alphanumberic specifier extension string immediately following the '%p'. Right now it's just being ignored, but the next commit will start adding some specific pointer type extensions. NOTE! The reason the extension is appended to the '%p' is to allow minimal gcc type checking: gcc will still see the '%p' and will check that the argument passed in is indeed a pointer, and yet will not complain about the extended information that gcc doesn't understand about (on the other hand, it also won't actually check that the pointer type and the extension are compatible). Alphanumeric characters were chosen because there is no sane existing use for a string format with a hex pointer representation immediately followed by alphanumerics (which is what such a format string would have traditionally resulted in).

This reverts commit e872154921a6b5256a3c412dd69158ac0b135176. Andrey Borzenkov reports that it resulted in a totally hung machine for him when loading the OHCI driver. Extensive netconsole capture with SysRq output shows that modprobe gets stuck in ohci_hub_status_data() when probing and enabling the OHCI controller, see for example http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/7/5/236 for an analysis. The problem appears to be an interrupt flood triggered by the commit that gets reverted, and Andrey confirmed that the revert makes things work for him again.

2008-07-06KVM: IOAPIC: Fix level-triggered irq injection hangMark McLoughlin
The "remote_irr" variable is used to indicate an interrupt which has been received by the LAPIC, but not acked. In our EOI handler, we unset remote_irr and re-inject the interrupt if the interrupt line is still asserted. However, we do not set remote_irr here, leading to a situation where if kvm_ioapic_set_irq() is called, then we go ahead and call ioapic_service(). This means that IRR is re-asserted even though the interrupt is currently in service (i.e. LAPIC IRR is cleared and ISR/TMR set) The issue with this is that when the currently executing interrupt handler finishes and writes LAPIC EOI, then TMR is unset and EOI sent to the IOAPIC. Since IRR is now asserted, but TMR is not, then when the second interrupt is handled, no EOI is sent and if there is any pending interrupt, it is not re-injected. This fixes a hang only seen while running mke2fs -j on an 8Gb virtio disk backed by a fully sparse raw file, with aliguori "avoid fragmented virtio-blk transfers by copying" changes.

2008-07-05can: add sanity checksOliver Hartkopp
