2006-12-10[PATCH] round_jiffies infrastructureArjan van de Ven
Introduce a round_jiffies() function as well as a round_jiffies_relative() function. These functions round a jiffies value to the next whole second. The primary purpose of this rounding is to cause all "we don't care exactly when" timers to happen at the same jiffy. This avoids multiple timers firing within the second for no real reason; with dynamic ticks these extra timers cause wakeups from deep sleep CPU sleep states and thus waste power. The exact wakeup moment is skewed by the cpu number, to avoid all cpus from waking up at the exact same time (and hitting the same lock/cachelines there) [akpm@osdl.org: fix variable type] Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2006-12-10[PATCH] fdtable: Implement new pagesize-based fdtable allocatorVadim Lobanov
This patch provides an improved fdtable allocation scheme, useful for expanding fdtable file descriptor entries. The main focus is on the fdarray, as its memory usage grows 128 times faster than that of an fdset. The allocation algorithm sizes the fdarray in such a way that its memory usage increases in easy page-sized chunks. The overall algorithm expands the allowed size in powers of two, in order to amortize the cost of invoking vmalloc() for larger allocation sizes. Namely, the following sizes for the fdarray are considered, and the smallest that accommodates the requested fd count is chosen: pagesize / 4 pagesize / 2 pagesize <- memory allocator switch point pagesize * 2 pagesize * 4 ...etc... Unlike the current implementation, this allocation scheme does not require a loop to compute the optimal fdarray size, and can be done in efficient straightline code. Furthermore, since the fdarray overflows the pagesize boundary long before any of the fdsets do, it makes sense to optimize run-time by allocating both fdsets in a single swoop. Even together, they will still be, by far, smaller than the fdarray. The fdtable->open_fds is now used as the anchor for the fdset memory allocation.

2006-12-10[PATCH] fdtable: Remove the free_files fieldVadim Lobanov
An fdtable can either be embedded inside a files_struct or standalone (after being expanded). When an fdtable is being discarded after all RCU references to it have expired, we must either free it directly, in the standalone case, or free the files_struct it is contained within, in the embedded case. Currently the free_files field controls this behavior, but we can get rid of it entirely, as all the necessary information is already recorded. We can distinguish embedded and standalone fdtables using max_fds, and if it is embedded we can divine the relevant files_struct using container_of().

2006-12-10[PATCH] fdtable: Make fdarray and fdsets equal in sizeVadim Lobanov
Currently, each fdtable supports three dynamically-sized arrays of data: the fdarray and two fdsets. The code allows the number of fds supported by the fdarray (fdtable->max_fds) to differ from the number of fds supported by each of the fdsets (fdtable->max_fdset). In practice, it is wasteful for these two sizes to differ: whenever we hit a limit on the smaller-capacity structure, we will reallocate the entire fdtable and all the dynamic arrays within it, so any delta in the memory used by the larger-capacity structure will never be touched at all. Rather than hogging this excess, we shouldn't even allocate it in the first place, and keep the capacities of the fdarray and the fdsets equal. This patch removes fdtable->max_fdset. As an added bonus, most of the supporting code becomes simpler.

2006-12-10[PATCH] md: allow reads that have bypassed the cache to be retried on failureRaz Ben-Jehuda(caro)
If a bypass-the-cache read fails, we simply try again through the cache. If it fails again it will trigger normal recovery precedures. update 1: From: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de> 1/ chunk_aligned_read and retry_aligned_read assume that data_disks == raid_disks - 1 which is not true for raid6. So when an aligned read request bypasses the cache, we can get the wrong data. 2/ The cloned bio is being used-after-free in raid5_align_endio (to test BIO_UPTODATE). 3/ We forgot to add rdev->data_offset when submitting a bio for aligned-read 4/ clone_bio calls blk_recount_segments and then we change bi_bdev, so we need to invalidate the segment counts. 5/ We don't de-reference the rdev when the read completes. This means we need to record the rdev to so it is still available in the end_io routine. Fortunately bi_next in the original bio is unused at this point so we can stuff it in there. 6/ We leak a cloned bio if the target rdev is not usable. From: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de> update 2: 1/ When aligned requests fail (read error) they need to be retried via the normal method (stripe cache). As we cannot be sure that we can process a single read in one go (we may not be able to allocate all the stripes needed) we store a bio-being-retried and a list of bioes-that-still-need-to-be-retried. When find a bio that needs to be retried, we should add it to the list, not to single-bio... 2/ We were never incrementing 'scnt' when resubmitting failed aligned requests.

2006-12-10[PATCH] sched: decrease number of load balancesSiddha, Suresh B
Currently at a particular domain, each cpu in the sched group will do a load balance at the frequency of balance_interval. More the cores and threads, more the cpus will be in each sched group at SMP and NUMA domain. And we endup spending quite a bit of time doing load balancing in those domains. Fix this by making only one cpu(first idle cpu or first cpu in the group if all the cpus are busy) in the sched group do the load balance at that particular sched domain and this load will slowly percolate down to the other cpus with in that group(when they do load balancing at lower domains).

2006-12-10[PATCH] io-accounting: core statisticsAndrew Morton
The present per-task IO accounting isn't very useful. It simply counts the number of bytes passed into read() and write(). So if a process reads 1MB from an already-cached file, it is accused of having performed 1MB of I/O, which is wrong. (David Wright had some comments on the applicability of the present logical IO accounting: For billing purposes it is useless but for workload analysis it is very useful read_bytes/read_calls average read request size write_bytes/write_calls average write request size read_bytes/read_blocks ie logical/physical can indicate hit rate or thrashing write_bytes/write_blocks ie logical/physical guess since pdflush writes can be missed I often look for logical larger than physical to see filesystem cache problems. And the bytes/cpusec can help find applications that are dominating the cache and causing slow interactive response from page cache contention. I want to find the IO intensive applications and make sure they are doing efficient IO. Thus the acctcms(sysV) or csacms command would give the high IO commands). This patchset adds new accounting which tries to be more accurate. We account for three things: reads: attempt to count the number of bytes which this process really did cause to be fetched from the storage layer. Done at the submit_bio() level, so it is accurate for block-backed filesystems. I also attempt to wire up NFS and CIFS. writes: attempt to count the number of bytes which this process caused to be sent to the storage layer. This is done at page-dirtying time. The big inaccuracy here is truncate. If a process writes 1MB to a file and then deletes the file, it will in fact perform no writeout. But it will have been accounted as having caused 1MB of write. So... cancelled_writes: account the number of bytes which this process caused to not happen, by truncating pagecache. We _could_ just subtract this from the process's `write' accounting. But that means that some processes would be reported to have done negative amounts of write IO, which is silly. So we just report the raw number and punt this decision up to userspace. Now, we _could_ account for writes at the physical I/O level. But - This would require that we track memory-dirtying tasks at the per-page level (would require a new pointer in struct page). - It would mean that IO statistics for a process are usually only available long after that process has exitted. Which means that we probably cannot communicate this info via taskstats. This patch: Wire up the kernel-private data structures and the accessor functions to manipulate them.

Stabilize PIO mode transfers against a range of word sizes and FIFO thresholds and fixes word size setup/override issues. 1) 16 and 32 bit DMA/PIO transfers broken due to timing differences. 2) Potential for bad transfer counts due to transfer size assumptions. 3) Setup function broken is multiple ways. 4) Per transfer bit_per_word changes break DMA setup in pump_tranfers. 5) False positive timeout are not errors. 6) Changes in pxa2xx_spi_chip not effective in calls to setup. 7) Timeout scaling wrong for PXA255 NSSP. 8) Driver leaks memory while busy during unloading. Known issues: SPI_CS_HIGH and SPI_LSB_FIRST settings in struct spi_device are not handled. Testing: This patch has been test against the "random length, random bits/word, random data (verified on loopback) and stepped baud rate by octaves (3.6MHz to 115kHz)" test. It is robust in PIO mode, using any combination of tx and rx thresholds, and also in DMA mode (which internally computes the thresholds).

2006-12-08[PATCH] Generic HID layer - input and event reportingJiri Kosina
hid_input_report() was needlessly USB-specific in USB HID. This patch makes the function independent of HID implementation and fixes all the current users. Bluetooth patches comply with this prototype.

2006-12-08[PATCH] Generic HID layer - hiddevJiri Kosina
- hiddev is USB-only (agreed with Marcel Holtmann that Bluetooth currently doesn't need it, and future planned interface (rawhid) will be more flexible and usable) - both HID and USB-hid can be now compiled as modules (wasn't possible before hiddev was fully separated from generic HID layer) Signed-off-by: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann <marcel@holtmann.org> Cc: Dmitry Torokhov <dmitry.torokhov@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

2006-12-08[PATCH] dm: suspend: add noflush pushbackKiyoshi Ueda
In device-mapper I/O is sometimes queued within targets for later processing. For example the multipath target can be configured to store I/O when no paths are available instead of returning it -EIO. This patch allows the device-mapper core to instruct a target to transfer the contents of any such in-target queue back into the core. This frees up the resources used by the target so the core can replace that target with an alternative one and then resend the I/O to it. Without this patch the only way to change the target in such circumstances involves returning the I/O with an error back to the filesystem/application. In the multipath case, this patch will let us add new paths for existing I/O to try after all the existing paths have failed. DMF_NOFLUSH_SUSPENDING ---------------------- If the DM_NOFLUSH_FLAG ioctl option is specified at suspend time, the DMF_NOFLUSH_SUSPENDING flag is set in md->flags during dm_suspend(). It is always cleared before dm_suspend() returns. The flag must be visible while the target is flushing pending I/Os so it is set before presuspend where the flush starts and unset after the wait for md->pending where the flush ends. Target drivers can check this flag by calling dm_noflush_suspending(). DM_MAPIO_REQUEUE / DM_ENDIO_REQUEUE ----------------------------------- A target's map() function can now return DM_MAPIO_REQUEUE to request the device mapper core queue the bio. Similarly, a target's end_io() function can return DM_ENDIO_REQUEUE to request the same. This has been labelled 'pushback'. The __map_bio() and clone_endio() functions in the core treat these return values as errors and call dec_pending() to end the I/O. dec_pending ----------- dec_pending() saves the pushback request in struct dm_io->error. Once all the split clones have ended, dec_pending() will put the original bio on the md->pushback list. Note that this supercedes any I/O errors. It is possible for the suspend with DM_NOFLUSH_FLAG to be aborted while in progress (e.g. by user interrupt). dec_pending() checks for this and returns -EIO if it happened. pushdback list and pushback_lock -------------------------------- The bio is queued on md->pushback temporarily in dec_pending(), and after all pending I/Os return, md->pushback is merged into md->deferred in dm_suspend() for re-issuing at resume time. md->pushback_lock protects md->pushback. The lock should be held with irq disabled because dec_pending() can be called from interrupt context. Queueing bios to md->pushback in dec_pending() must be done atomically with the check for DMF_NOFLUSH_SUSPENDING flag. So md->pushback_lock is held when checking the flag. Otherwise dec_pending() may queue a bio to md->pushback after the interrupted dm_suspend() flushes md->pushback. Then the bio would be left in md->pushback. Flag setting in dm_suspend() can be done without md->pushback_lock because the flag is checked only after presuspend and the set value is already made visible via the target's presuspend function. The flag can be checked without md->pushback_lock (e.g. the first part of the dec_pending() or target drivers), because the flag is checked again with md->pushback_lock held when the bio is really queued to md->pushback as described above. So even if the flag is cleared after the lockless checkings, the bio isn't left in md->pushback but returned to applications with -EIO. Other notes on the current patch -------------------------------- - md->pushback is added to the struct mapped_device instead of using md->deferred directly because md->io_lock which protects md->deferred is rw_semaphore and can't be used in interrupt context like dec_pending(), and md->io_lock protects the DMF_BLOCK_IO flag of md->flags too. - Don't issue lock_fs() in dm_suspend() if the DM_NOFLUSH_FLAG ioctl option is specified, because I/Os generated by lock_fs() would be pushed back and never return if there were no valid devices. - If an error occurs in dm_suspend() after the DMF_NOFLUSH_SUSPENDING flag is set, md->pushback must be flushed because I/Os may be queued to the list already. (flush_and_out label in dm_suspend()) Test results ------------ I have tested using multipath target with the next patch. The following tests are for regression/compatibility: - I/Os succeed when valid paths exist; - I/Os fail when there are no valid paths and queue_if_no_path is not set; - I/Os are queued in the multipath target when there are no valid paths and queue_if_no_path is set; - The queued I/Os above fail when suspend is issued without the DM_NOFLUSH_FLAG ioctl option. I/Os spanning 2 multipath targets also fail. The following tests are for the normal code path of new pushback feature: - Queued I/Os in the multipath target are flushed from the target but don't return when suspend is issued with the DM_NOFLUSH_FLAG ioctl option; - The I/Os above are queued in the multipath target again when resume is issued without path recovery; - The I/Os above succeed when resume is issued after path recovery or table load; - Queued I/Os in the multipath target succeed when resume is issued with the DM_NOFLUSH_FLAG ioctl option after table load. I/Os spanning 2 multipath targets also succeed. The following tests are for the error paths of the new pushback feature: - When the bdget_disk() fails in dm_suspend(), the DMF_NOFLUSH_SUSPENDING flag is cleared and I/Os already queued to the pushback list are flushed properly. - When suspend with the DM_NOFLUSH_FLAG ioctl option is interrupted, o I/Os which had already been queued to the pushback list at the time don't return, and are re-issued at resume time; o I/Os which hadn't been returned at the time return with EIO.

2006-12-08[PATCH] dm: map and endio return code clarificationKiyoshi Ueda
Tighten the use of return values from the target map and end_io functions. Values of 2 and above are now explictly reserved for future use. There are no existing targets using such values. The patch has no effect on existing behaviour. o Reserve return values of 2 and above from target map functions. Any positive value currently indicates "mapping complete", but all existing drivers use the value 1. We now make that a requirement so we can assign new meaning to higher values in future. The new definition of return values from target map functions is: < 0 : error = 0 : The target will handle the io (DM_MAPIO_SUBMITTED). = 1 : Mapping completed (DM_MAPIO_REMAPPED). > 1 : Reserved (undefined). Previously this was the same as '= 1'. o Reserve return values of 2 and above from target end_io functions for similar reasons. DM_ENDIO_INCOMPLETE is introduced for a return value of 1. Test results: I have tested by using the multipath target. I/Os succeed when valid paths exist. I/Os are queued in the multipath target when there are no valid paths and queue_if_no_path is set. I/Os fail when there are no valid paths and queue_if_no_path is not set.
