2007-10-09Re: [NFS] [PATCH] Attribute timeout handling and wrapping u32 jiffiesFabio Olive Leite
I would like to discuss the idea that the current checks for attribute timeout using time_after are inadequate for 32bit architectures, since time_after works correctly only when the two timestamps being compared are within 2^31 jiffies of each other. The signed overflow caused by comparing values more than 2^31 jiffies apart will flip the result, causing incorrect assumptions of validity. 2^31 jiffies is a fairly large period of time (~25 days) when compared to the lifetime of most kernel data structures, but for long lived NFS mounts that can sit idle for months (think that for some reason autofs cannot be used), it is easy to compare inode attribute timestamps with very disparate or even bogus values (as in when jiffies have wrapped many times, where the comparison doesn't even make sense). Currently the code tests for attribute timeout by simply adding the desired amount of jiffies to the stored timestamp and comparing that with the current timestamp of obtained attribute data with time_after. This is incorrect, as it returns true for the desired timeout period and another full 2^31 range of jiffies. In testing with artificial jumps (several small jumps, not one big crank) of the jiffies I was able to reproduce a problem found in a server with very long lived NFS mounts, where attributes would not be refreshed even after touching files and directories in the server: Initial uptime: 03:42:01 up 6 min, 0 users, load average: 0.01, 0.12, 0.07 NFS volume is mounted and time is advanced: 03:38:09 up 25 days, 2 min, 0 users, load average: 1.22, 1.05, 1.08 # ls -l /local/A/foo/bar /nfs/A/foo/bar -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Dec 17 03:38 /local/A/foo/bar -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Nov 22 00:36 /nfs/A/foo/bar # touch /local/A/foo/bar # ls -l /local/A/foo/bar /nfs/A/foo/bar -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Dec 17 03:47 /local/A/foo/bar -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Nov 22 00:36 /nfs/A/foo/bar We can see the local mtime is updated, but the NFS mount still shows the old value.

2007-10-07Don't do load-average calculations at even 5-second intervalsLinus Torvalds
It turns out that there are a few other five-second timers in the kernel, and if the timers get in sync, the load-average can get artificially inflated by events that just happen to coincide. So just offset the load average calculation it by a timer tick. Noticed by Anders Boström, for whom the coincidence started triggering on one of his machines with the JBD jiffies rounding code (JBD is one of the subsystems that also end up using a 5-second timer by default).

2007-10-05Remove unnecessary cast in prefetch()Serge Belyshev
It is ok to call prefetch() function with NULL argument, as specifically commented in include/linux/prefetch.h. But in standard C, it is invalid to dereference NULL pointer (see C99 standard 6.5.3.2 paragraph 4 and note #84). prefetch() has a memory reference for its argument. Newer gcc versions (4.3 and above) will use that to conclude that "x" argument is non-null and thus wreaking havok everywhere prefetch() was inlined. Fixed by removing cast and changing asm constraint. [ It seems in theory gcc 4.2 could miscompile this too; although no cases known. In 2.6.24 we should probably switch to __builtin_prefetch() instead, but this is a simpler fix for now. -- AK ] Signed-off-by: Serge Belyshev <belyshev@depni.sinp.msu.ru> Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2007-09-29i386: remove bogus comment about memory barrierNick Piggin
The comment being removed by this patch is incorrect and misleading. In the following situation: 1. load ... 2. store 1 -> X 3. wmb 4. rmb 5. load a <- Y 6. store ... 4 will only ensure ordering of 1 with 5. 3 will only ensure ordering of 2 with 6. Further, a CPU with strictly in-order stores will still only provide that 2 and 6 are ordered (effectively, it is the same as a weakly ordered CPU with wmb after every store). In all cases, 5 may still be executed before 2 is visible to other CPUs! The additional piece of the puzzle that mb() provides is the store/load ordering, which fundamentally cannot be achieved with any combination of rmb()s and wmb()s. This can be an unexpected result if one expected any sort of global ordering guarantee to barriers (eg. that the barriers themselves are sequentially consistent with other types of barriers). However sfence or lfence barriers need only provide an ordering partial ordering of memory operations -- Consider that wmb may be implemented as nothing more than inserting a special barrier entry in the store queue, or, in the case of x86, it can be a noop as the store queue is in order. And an rmb may be implemented as a directive to prevent subsequent loads only so long as their are no previous outstanding loads (while there could be stores still in store queues). I can actually see the occasional load/store being reordered around lfence on my core2. That doesn't prove my above assertions, but it does show the comment is wrong (unless my program is -- can send it out by request). So: mb() and smp_mb() always have and always will require a full mfence or lock prefixed instruction on x86. And we should remove this comment.

2007-09-28[TCP]: Fix MD5 signature handling on big-endian.David S. Miller
Based upon a report and initial patch by Peter Lieven. tcp4_md5sig_key and tcp6_md5sig_key need to start with the exact same members as tcp_md5sig_key. Because they are both cast to that type by tcp_v{4,6}_md5_do_lookup(). Unfortunately tcp{4,6}_md5sig_key use a u16 for the key length instead of a u8, which is what tcp_md5sig_key uses. This just so happens to work by accident on little-endian, but on big-endian it doesn't. Instead of casting, just place tcp_md5sig_key as the first member of the address-family specific structures, adjust the access sites, and kill off the ugly casts. Signed-off-by: David S.

2007-09-26Revert "x86-64: Disable local APIC timer use on AMD systems with C1E"Linus Torvalds
This reverts commit e66485d747505e9d960b864fc6c37f8b2afafaf0, since Rafael Wysocki noticed that the change only works for his in -mm, not in mainline (and that both "noapictimer" _and_ "apicmaintimer" are broken on his hardware, but that's apparently not a regression, just a symptom of the same issue that causes the automatic apic timer disable to not work). It turns out that it really doesn't work correctly on x86-64, since x86-64 doesn't use the generic clock events for timers yet. Thanks to Rafal for testing, and here's the ugly details on x86-64 as per Thomas: "I just looked into the code and the logic vs. noapictimer on SMP is completely broken. On i386 the noapictimer option not only disables the local APIC timer, it also registers the CPUs for broadcasting via IPI on SMP systems. The x86-64 code uses the broadcast only when the local apic timer is active, i.e. "noapictimer" is not on the command line. This defeats the whole purpose of "noapictimer". It should be there to make boxen work, where the local APIC timer actually has a hardware problem, e.g. the nx6325. The current implementation of x86_64 only fixes the ACPI c-states related problem where the APIC timer stops in C3(2), nothing else. On nx6325 and other AMD X2 equipped systems which have the C1E enabled we run into the following: PIT keeps jiffies (and the system) running, but the local APIC timer interrupts can get out of sync due to this C1E effect. I don't think this is a critical problem, but it is wrong nevertheless. I think it's safe to revert the C1E patch and postpone the fix to the clock events conversion." On further reflection, Thomas noted: "It's even worse than I thought on the first check: "noapictimer" on the command line of an SMP box prevents _ONLY_ the boot CPU apic timer from being used. But the secondary CPU is still unconditionally setting up the APIC timer and uses the non calibrated variable calibration_result, which is of course 0, to setup the APIC timer. Wreckage guaranteed." so we'll just have to wait for the x86 merge to hopefully fix this up for x86-64. Tested-and-requested-by: Rafael J.

2007-09-26x86-64: Disable local APIC timer use on AMD systems with C1EThomas Gleixner
commit 3556ddfa9284a86a59a9b78fe5894430f6ab4eef titled [PATCH] x86-64: Disable local APIC timer use on AMD systems with C1E solves a problem with AMD dual core laptops e.g. HP nx6325 (Turion 64 X2) with C1E enabled: When both cores go into idle at the same time, then the system switches into C1E state, which is basically the same as C3. This stops the local apic timer. This was debugged right after the dyntick merge on i386 and despite the patch title it fixes only the 32 bit path. x86_64 is still missing this fix. It seems that mainline is not really affected by this issue, as the PIT is running and keeps jiffies incrementing, but that's just waiting for trouble. -mm suffers from this problem due to the x86_64 high resolution timer patches. This is a quick and dirty port of the i386 code to x86_64. I spent quite a time with Rafael to debug the -mm / hrt wreckage until someone pointed us to this. I really had forgotten that we debugged this half a year ago already. Sigh, is it just me or is there something yelling arch/x86 into my ear?

By the way, if an malformed ASCONF chunk is received, will cause processing to access memory without verifying. This is because of not check the validity of parameters in ASCONF chunk. This patch fixed this. Signed-off-by: Wei Yongjun <yjwei@cn.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Vlad Yasevich <vladislav.yasevich@hp.com>
2007-09-25SCTP: Clean up OOTB handling and fix infinite loop processingVlad Yasevich
While processing OOTB chunks as well as chunks with an invalid length of 0, it was possible to SCTP to get wedged inside an infinite loop because we didn't catch the condition correctly, or didn't mark the packet for discard correctly.

2007-09-22ACPI: disable lower idle C-states across suspend/resumeThomas Gleixner
device_suspend() calls ACPI suspend functions, which seems to have undesired side effects on lower idle C-states. It took me some time to realize that especially the VAIO BIOSes (both Andrews jinxed UP and my elfstruck SMP one) show this effect. I'm quite sure that other bug reports against suspend/resume about turning the system into a brick have the same root cause. After fishing in the dark for quite some time, I realized that removing the ACPI processor module before suspend (this removes the lower C-state functionality) made the problem disappear. Interestingly enough the propability of having a bricked box is influenced by various factors (interrupts, size of the ram image, ...). Even adding a bunch of printks in the wrong places made the problem go away. The previous periodic tick implementation simply pampered over the problem, which explains why the dyntick / clockevents changes made this more prominent. We avoid complex functionality during the boot process and we have to do the same during suspend/resume. It is a similar scenario and equaly fragile. Add suspend / resume functions to the ACPI processor code and disable the lower idle C-states across suspend/resume. Fall back to the default idle implementation (halt) instead.

2007-09-23Blackfin arch: add some missing syscallBryan Wu
When compiling the Blackfin kernel, checksyscalls.pl will report lots of missing syscalls warnings. This patch will add some missing syscalls which make sense on Blackfin arch After appling this patch, toolchain should be rebuilt. Then recompiling the kernel with the new toolchain.

2007-10-03Binfmt_flat: Add minimum support for the Blackfin relocationsBernd Schmidt
Add minimum support for the Blackfin relocations, since we don't have enough space in each reloc. The idea is to store a value with one relocation so that subsequent ones can access it. Actually, this patch is required for Blackfin. Currently if BINFMT_FLAT is enabled, git-tree kernel will fail to compile.

2007-09-21Revert "x86_64: Quicklist support for x86_64"Linus Torvalds
This reverts commit 34feb2c83beb3bdf13535a36770f7e50b47ef299. Suresh Siddha points out that this one breaks the fundamental requirement that you cannot free page table pages before the TLB caches are flushed. The quicklists do not give the same kinds of guarantees that the mmu_gather structure does, at least not in NUMA configurations.

2007-09-20signalfd simplificationDavide Libenzi
This simplifies signalfd code, by avoiding it to remain attached to the sighand during its lifetime. In this way, the signalfd remain attached to the sighand only during poll(2) (and select and epoll) and read(2). This also allows to remove all the custom "tsk == current" checks in kernel/signal.c, since dequeue_signal() will only be called by "current". I think this is also what Ben was suggesting time ago. The external effect of this, is that a thread can extract only its own private signals and the group ones. I think this is an acceptable behaviour, in that those are the signals the thread would be able to fetch w/out signalfd.
