2006-04-14[SCSI] iscsi: fix up iscsi ehMike Christie
The current iscsi_tcp eh is not nicely setup for dm-multipath and performs some extra task management functions when they are not needed. The attached patch: - Fixes the TMF issues. If a session is rebuilt then we do not send aborts. - Fixes the problem where if the host reset fired, we would return SUCCESS even though we had not really done anything yet. This ends up causing problem with scsi_error.c's TUR. - If someone has turned on the userspace nop daemon code to try and detect network problems before the scsi command timeout we can now drop and clean up the session before the scsi command timesout and fires the eh speeding up the time it takes for a command to go from one patch to another. For network problems we fail the command with DID_BUS_BUSY so if failfast is set scsi_decide_disposition fails the command up to dm for it to try on another path. - And we had to add some basic iscsi session block code. Previously if we were trying to repair a session we would retrun a MLQUEUE code in the queuecommand. This worked but it was not the most efficient or pretty thing to do since it would take a while to relogin to the target. For iscsi_tcp/open-iscsi a lot of the iscsi error handler is in userspace the block code is pretty bare. We will be adding to that for qla4xxx.

2006-04-14[SCSI] iscsi: add sysfs attrs for uspace sync upMike Christie
For iscsi boot when going from initramfs to the real root we need to stop the userpsace iscsi daemon. To later restart it iscsid needs to be able to rebuild itself and part of that process is matching a session running the kernel with the iscsid representation. To do this the attached patch adds several required iscsi values. If the LLD does not provide them becuase, login is done in userspace, then the transport class and userspace set ths up for the LLD.

2006-04-14[SCSI] iscsi: rm kernel iscsi handles usage for session and connectionMike Christie
from hare@suse.de and michaelc@cs.wisc.edu hw iscsi like qla4xxx does not allocate a host per session and for userspace it is difficult to restart iscsid using the "iscsi handles" for the session and connection, so this patch just has the class or userspace allocate the id for the session and connection. Note: this breaks userspace and requires users to upgrade to the newest open-iscsi tools. Sorry about his but open-iscsi is still too new to say we have a stable user-kernel api and we were not good nough designers to know that other hw iscsi drivers and iscsid itself would need such changes. Actually we sorta did but at the time we did not have the HW available to us so we could only guess. Luckily, the only tools hooking into the class are the open-iscsi ones or other tools like iscsitart hook into the open-iscsi engine from userspace or prgroams like anaconda call our tools so they are not affected.

2006-04-14[SCSI] BLIST_ATTACH_PQ3 flagsKurt Garloff
Some devices report a peripheral qualifier of 3 for LUN 0; with the original code, we would still try a REPORT_LUNS scan (if SCSI level is >= 3 or if we have the BLIST_REPORTLUNS2 passed in), but NOT any sequential scan. Also, the device at LUN 0 (which is not connected according to the PQ) is not registered with the OS. Unfortunately, SANs exist that are SCSI-2 and do NOT support REPORT_LUNS, but report a unknown device with PQ 3 on LUN 0. We still need to scan them, and most probably we even need BLIST_SPARSELUN (and BLIST_LARGELUN). See the bug reference for an infamous example. This is patch 3/3: 3. Implement the blacklist flag BLIST_ATTACH_PQ3 that makes the scsi scanning code register PQ3 devices and continues scanning; only sg will attach thanks to scsi_bus_match().

Bugzilla Bug 6299: A pixel size of 8 bits produces wrong logo colors in x86_64. The driver has 2 methods for setting the color map, using the protected mode interface provided by the video BIOS and directly writing to the VGA registers. The former is not supported in x86_64 and the latter is enabled only in i386. Fix by enabling the latter method in x86_64 only if supported by the BIOS.

Every caller of svc_take_page ignores its return value and assumes it succeeded. So just WARN() instead of returning an ignored error. This would have saved some time debugging a recent nfsd4 problem. If there are still failure cases here, then the result is probably that we overwrite an earlier part of the reply while xdr-encoding. While the corrupted reply is a nasty bug, it would be worse to panic here and create the possibility of a remote DOS; hence WARN() instead of BUG(). Signed-off-by: J.

2006-04-11[PATCH] module support: record in vermagic ability to unload a modulePaolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso
An UML user reported (against 2.6.13.3/UML) he got kernel Oopses when trying to rmmod (on a kernel with module unloading enabled) a module compiled with module unloading disabled. As crashing is a very correct thing to do in that case, a solution is altering the vermagic string to include this too. Possibly, however, the code should not crash in this case, even if the module didn't support unloading - it should simply abort the module removal. In this case, fixing that bug would be a better solution. I've not investigated though. (akpm: a bit marginal - root screwed up and shot himself in the foot).

2006-04-11[PATCH] Configurable NODES_SHIFTYasunori Goto
Current implementations define NODES_SHIFT in include/asm-xxx/numnodes.h for each arch. Its definition is sometimes configurable. Indeed, ia64 defines 5 NODES_SHIFT values in the current git tree. But it looks a bit messy. SGI-SN2(ia64) system requires 1024 nodes, and the number of nodes already has been changeable by config. Suitable node's number may be changed in the future even if it is other architecture. So, I wrote configurable node's number. This patch set defines just default value for each arch which needs multi nodes except ia64. But, it is easy to change to configurable if necessary. On ia64 the number of nodes can be already configured in generic ia64 and SN2 config. But, NODES_SHIFT is defined for DIG64 and HP'S machine too. So, I changed it so that all platforms can be configured via CONFIG_NODES_SHIFT. It would be simpler.

2006-04-11[PATCH] overcommit: add calculate_totalreserve_pages()Hideo AOKI
These patches are an enhancement of OVERCOMMIT_GUESS algorithm in __vm_enough_memory(). - why the kernel needed patching When the kernel can't allocate anonymous pages in practice, currnet OVERCOMMIT_GUESS could return success. This implementation might be the cause of oom kill in memory pressure situation. If the Linux runs with page reservation features like /proc/sys/vm/lowmem_reserve_ratio and without swap region, I think the oom kill occurs easily. - the overall design approach in the patch When the OVERCOMMET_GUESS algorithm calculates number of free pages, the reserved free pages are regarded as non-free pages. This change helps to avoid the pitfall that the number of free pages become less than the number which the kernel tries to keep free. - testing results I tested the patches using my test kernel module. If the patches aren't applied to the kernel, __vm_enough_memory() returns success in the situation but autual page allocation is failed. On the other hand, if the patches are applied to the kernel, memory allocation failure is avoided since __vm_enough_memory() returns failure in the situation. I checked that on i386 SMP 16GB memory machine. I haven't tested on nommu environment currently. This patch adds totalreserve_pages for __vm_enough_memory(). Calculate_totalreserve_pages() checks maximum lowmem_reserve pages and pages_high in each zone. Finally, the function stores the sum of each zone to totalreserve_pages. The totalreserve_pages is calculated when the VM is initilized. And the variable is updated when /proc/sys/vm/lowmem_reserve_raito or /proc/sys/vm/min_free_kbytes are changed.

2006-04-11[PATCH] md: make sure 64bit fields in version-1 metadata are 64-bit alignedNeilBrown
reshape_position is a 64bit field that was not 64bit aligned. So swap with new_level. NOTE: this is a user-visible change. However: - The bad code has not appeared in a released kernel - This code is still marked 'experimental' - This only affects version-1 superblock, which are not in wide use - These field are only used (rather than simply reported) by user-space tools in extemely rare circumstances : after a reshape crashes in the first second of the reshape process. So I believe that, at this stage, the change is safe. Especially if people heed the 'help' message on use mdadm-2.4.1.

2006-04-11[PATCH] splice: add direct fd <-> fd splicing supportJens Axboe
It's more efficient for sendfile() emulation. Basically we cache an internal private pipe and just use that as the intermediate area for pages. Direct splicing is not available from sys_splice(), it is only meant to be used for sendfile() emulation. Additional patch from Ingo Molnar to avoid the PIPE_BUFFERS loop at exit for the normal fast path. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>

2006-04-10[PATCH] de_thread: Don't confuse users do_each_thread.Eric W. Biederman
Oleg Nesterov spotted two interesting bugs with the current de_thread code. The simplest is a long standing double decrement of __get_cpu_var(process_counts) in __unhash_process. Caused by two processes exiting when only one was created. The other is that since we no longer detach from the thread_group list it is possible for do_each_thread when run under the tasklist_lock to see the same task_struct twice. Once on the task list as a thread_group_leader, and once on the thread list of another thread. The double appearance in do_each_thread can cause a double increment of mm_core_waiters in zap_threads resulting in problems later on in coredump_wait. To remedy those two problems this patch takes the simple approach of changing the old thread group leader into a child thread. The only routine in release_task that cares is __unhash_process, and it can be trivially seen that we handle cleaning up a thread group leader properly. Since de_thread doesn't change the pid of the exiting leader process and instead shares it with the new leader process. I change thread_group_leader to recognize group leadership based on the group_leader field and not based on pids. This should also be slightly cheaper then the existing thread_group_leader macro. I performed a quick audit and I couldn't see any user of thread_group_leader that cared about the difference. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2006-04-10[PATCH] move ->eh_strategy_handler to the transport classChristoph Hellwig
Overriding the whole EH code is a per-transport, not per-host thing. Move ->eh_strategy_handler to the transport class, same as ->eh_timed_out. Downside is that scsi_host_alloc can't check for the total lack of EH anymore, but the transition period from old EH where we needed it is long gone already.

2006-04-10[PATCH] Fix buddy list race that could lead to page lru list corruptionsNick Piggin
Rohit found an obscure bug causing buddy list corruption. page_is_buddy is using a non-atomic test (PagePrivate && page_count == 0) to determine whether or not a free page's buddy is itself free and in the buddy lists. Each of the conjuncts may be true at different times due to unrelated conditions, so the non-atomic page_is_buddy test may find each conjunct to be true even if they were not both true at the same time (ie. the page was not on the buddy lists).

2006-04-10IB: simplify static rate encodingJack Morgenstein
Push translation of static rate to HCA format into low-level drivers, where it belongs. For static rate encoding, use encoding of rate field from IB standard PathRecord, with addition of value 0, for backwards compatibility with current usage. The changes are: - Add enum ib_rate to midlayer includes. - Get rid of static rate translation in IPoIB; just use static rate directly from Path and MulticastGroup records. - Update mthca driver to translate absolute static rate into the format used by hardware. This also fixes mthca's static rate handling for HCAs that are capable of 4X DDR. Signed-off-by: Jack Morgenstein <jackm@mellanox.co.il> Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier <rolandd@cisco.com>
