2007-02-11cfq-iosched: defer slice activation to first request being activeJens Axboe
This better matches what time the queue is actually spending doing IO. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2007-02-11[PATCH] cfq-iosched: use last service point as the fairness criteriaJens Axboe
Right now we use slice_start, which gives async queues an unfair advantage. Chance that to service_last, and base the resorter on that. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

Move the on_rr check into cfq_resort_rr_list(), every call site needs to check it anyway. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

Martin Schwidefsky wrote: "s390 does not even need (in|out)b(_p|). I wondered what else from io.h do we not need. The answer is: almost nothing. With the devres patch from Al and the dma-mapping patch from Heiko we can get rid of iomem and all associated definitions." So we'll just need to replace NO_IOPORT with NO_IOMEM in Kconfig and kill arch/s390/mm/ioremap.c. BTW, there's an annoying bit of junk in there - IO_SPACE_LIMIT. We only need it for /proc/ioports, which AFAICS shouldn't even be there on s390 (or uml). OTOH, removing that thing would mean a user-visible change - we go from "empty file in /proc" to "no such file in /proc"...

2007-02-11[PATCH] rapidio: fix multi-switch enumerationAlexandre Bounine
This patch contains two fixes for RapisIO enumeration logic: 1. Fix enumeration in configurations with multiple switches. The patch adds: a. Enumeration of an empty switch. Empty switch is a switch that does not have any endpoint devices attached to it (except host device or previous switch in a chain). New code assigns a phony destination ID associated with the switch and sets up corresponding routes. b. Adds a second pass to the enumeration to setup routes to devices discovered after switch was scanned. 2. Fix enumeration failure when riohdid parameter has non-zero value. Current version fails to setup response path to the host when it has destination ID other that 0.

2007-02-11[PATCH] order of lockdep off/on in vprintk() should be changedMathieu Desnoyers
The order of locking between lockdep_off/on() and local_irq_save/restore() in vprintk() should be changed. * In kernel/printk.c : vprintk() does : preempt_disable() local_irq_save() lockdep_off() spin_lock(&logbuf_lock) spin_unlock(&logbuf_lock) if(!down_trylock(&console_sem)) up(&console_sem) lockdep_on() local_irq_restore() preempt_enable() The goals here is to make sure we do not call printk() recursively from kernel/lockdep.c:__lock_acquire() (called from spin_* and down/up) nor from kernel/lockdep.c:trace_hardirqs_on/off() (called from local_irq_restore/save). It can then potentially call printk() through mark_held_locks/mark_lock. It correctly protects against the spin_lock call and the up/down call, but it does not protect against local_irq_restore. It could cause infinite recursive printk/trace_hardirqs_on() calls when printk() is called from the mark_lock() error handing path. We should change the locking so it becomes correct : preempt_disable() lockdep_off() local_irq_save() spin_lock(&logbuf_lock) spin_unlock(&logbuf_lock) if(!down_trylock(&console_sem)) up(&console_sem) local_irq_restore() lockdep_on() preempt_enable() Signed-off-by: Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@polymtl.ca> Acked-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2007-02-11[PATCH] buffer: memorder fixNick Piggin
unlock_buffer(), like unlock_page(), must not clear the lock without ensuring that the critical section is closed. Mingming later sent the same patch, saying: We are running SDET benchmark and saw double free issue for ext3 extended attributes block, which complains the same xattr block already being freed (in ext3_xattr_release_block()). The problem could also been triggered by multiple threads loop untar/rm a kernel tree. The race is caused by missing a memory barrier at unlock_buffer() before the lock bit being cleared, resulting in possible concurrent h_refcounter update. That causes a reference counter leak, then later leads to the double free that we have seen. Inside unlock_buffer(), there is a memory barrier is placed *after* the lock bit is being cleared, however, there is no memory barrier *before* the bit is cleared. On some arch the h_refcount update instruction and the clear bit instruction could be reordered, thus leave the critical section re-entered. The race is like this: For example, if the h_refcount is initialized as 1, cpu 0: cpu1 -------------------------------------- ----------------------------------- lock_buffer() /* test_and_set_bit */ clear_buffer_locked(bh); lock_buffer() /* test_and_set_bit */ h_refcount = h_refcount+1; /* = 2*/ h_refcount = h_refcount + 1; /*= 2 */ clear_buffer_locked(bh); .... ...... We lost a h_refcount here. We need a memory barrier before the buffer head lock bit being cleared to force the order of the two writes. Please apply.

2007-02-11[PATCH] extend the set of "__attribute__" shortcut macrosRobert P. J. Day
Extend the set of "__attribute__" shortcut macros, and remove identical (and now superfluous) definitions from a couple of source files. based on a page at robert love's blog: http://rlove.org/log/2005102601 extend the set of shortcut macros defined in compiler-gcc.h with the following: #define __packed __attribute__((packed)) #define __weak __attribute__((weak)) #define __naked __attribute__((naked)) #define __noreturn __attribute__((noreturn)) #define __pure __attribute__((pure)) #define __aligned(x) __attribute__((aligned(x))) #define __printf(a,b) __attribute__((format(printf,a,b))) Once these are in place, it's up to subsystem maintainers to decide if they want to take advantage of them. there is already a strong precedent for using shortcuts like this in the source tree. The ones that might give people pause are "__aligned" and "__printf", but shortcuts for both of those are already in use, and in some ways very confusingly. note the two very different definitions for a macro named "ALIGNED": drivers/net/sgiseeq.c:#define ALIGNED(x) ((((unsigned long)(x)) + 0xf) & ~(0xf)) drivers/scsi/ultrastor.c:#define ALIGNED(x) __attribute__((aligned(x))) also: include/acpi/platform/acgcc.h: #define ACPI_PRINTF_LIKE(c) __attribute__ ((__format__ (__printf__, c, c+1))) Given the precedent, then, it seems logical to at least standardize on a consistent set of these macros.

2007-02-11[PATCH] Extract and use wake_up_klogd()Kirill Korotaev
Remove hack with printing space to wake up klogd. Use explicit wake_up_klogd().

2007-02-11[PATCH] Consolidate bust_spinlocks()Kirill Korotaev
Part of long forgotten patch http://groups.google.com/group/fa.linux.kernel/msg/e98e941ce1cf29f6?dmode=source Since then, m32r grabbed two copies. Leave s390 copy because of important absence of CONFIG_VT, but remove references to non-existent timerlist_lock. ia64 also loses timerlist_lock.
