2005-11-13[PATCH] m68k: thread_info header cleanupAl Viro
a) in smp_lock.h #include of sched.h and spinlock.h moved under #ifdef CONFIG_LOCK_KERNEL. b) interrupt.h now explicitly pulls sched.h (not via smp_lock.h from hardirq.h as it used to) c) in three more places we need changes to compensate for (a) - one place in arch/sparc needs string.h now, hardirq.h needs forward declaration of task_struct and preempt.h needs direct include of thread_info.h. d) thread_info-related helpers in sched.h and thread_info.h put under ifndef __HAVE_THREAD_FUNCTIONS. Obviously safe.

2005-11-13[PATCH] m68k: introduce setup_thread_stack() and end_of_stack()Al Viro
encapsulates the rest of arch-dependent operations with thread_info access. Two new helpers - setup_thread_stack() and end_of_stack(). For normal case the former consists of copying thread_info of parent to new thread_info and the latter returns pointer immediately past the end of thread_info.

2005-11-13[PATCH] m68k: introduce task_thread_infoAl Viro
new helper - task_thread_info(task). On platforms that have thread_info allocated separately (i.e. in default case) it simply returns task->thread_info. m68k wants (and for good reasons) to embed its thread_info into task_struct. So it will (in later patch) have task_thread_info() of its own. For now we just add a macro for generic case and convert existing instances of its body in core kernel to uses of new macro. Obviously safe - all normal architectures get the same preprocessor output they used to get.

2005-11-13[PATCH] mm: ZAP_BLOCK causes redundant workRobin Holt
The address based work estimate for unmapping (for lockbreak) is and always was horribly inefficient for sparse mappings. The problem is most simply explained with an example: If we find a pgd is clear, we still have to call into unmap_page_range PGDIR_SIZE / ZAP_BLOCK_SIZE times, each time checking the clear pgd, in order to progress the working address to the next pgd. The fundamental way to solve the problem is to keep track of the end address we've processed and pass it back to the higher layers. From: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de> Modification to completely get away from address based work estimate and instead use an abstract count, with a very small cost for empty entries as opposed to present pages. On 2.6.14-git2, ppc64, and CONFIG_PREEMPT=y, mapping and unmapping 1TB of virtual address space takes 1.69s; with the following patch applied, this operation can be done 1000 times in less than 0.01s From: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> With CONFIG_HUTETLB_PAGE=n: mm/memory.c: In function `unmap_vmas': mm/memory.c:779: warning: division by zero Due to zap_work -= (end - start) / (HPAGE_SIZE / PAGE_SIZE); So make the dummy HPAGE_SIZE non-zero Signed-off-by: Robin Holt <holt@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de> Cc: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2005-11-13[PATCH] reorder struct files_structEric Dumazet
The file_lock spinlock sits close to mostly read fields of 'struct files_struct' In SMP (and NUMA) environments, each time a thread wants to open or close a file, it has to acquire the spinlock, thus invalidating the cache line containing this spinlock on other CPUS. So other threads doing read()/write()/... calls that use RCU to access the file table are going to ask further memory (possibly NUMA) transactions to read again this memory line. Move the spinlock to another cache line, so that concurrent threads can share the cache line containing 'count' and 'fdt' fields. It's worth up to 9% on a microbenchmark using a 4-thread 2-package x86 machine.

We had similar problems with other ioctls where userspace did things like that. What we did there was to put the compat handler to generic code.

2005-11-12[BLOCK] Implement elv_drain_elevator for improved switch error detectionTejun Heo
This patch adds request_queue->nr_sorted which keeps the number of requests in the iosched and implement elv_drain_elevator which performs forced dispatching. elv_drain_elevator checks whether iosched actually dispatches all requests it has and prints error message if it doesn't.

On ia64, it is possible to get NaT Consumption Fault and a kernel panic when initializing sctp sideeffect commands arguments. The union sctp_arg_t contains different sized elements and when loading a smaller sized element (32 or 16 bits), it is possible for a speculative load to fail and result in a NaT bit set which causes a kernel crash. The easy way to get around it is to load the largerst member of the union.

This will let me chop the code size of several drivers right down.

2005-11-11[PATCH] powerpc: Merge vdso's and add vdso support to 32 bits kernelBenjamin Herrenschmidt
This patch moves the vdso's to arch/powerpc, adds support for the 32 bits vdso to the 32 bits kernel, rename systemcfg (finally !), and adds some new (still untested) routines to both vdso's: clock_gettime() with support for CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_MONOTONIC, clock_getres() (same clocks) and get_tbfreq() for glibc to retreive the timebase frequency. Tom,Steve: The implementation of get_tbfreq() I've done for 32 bits returns a long long (r3, r4) not a long. This is such that if we ever add support for >4Ghz timebases on ppc32, the userland interface won't have to change. I have tested gettimeofday() using some glibc patches in both ppc32 and ppc64 kernels using 32 bits userland (I haven't had a chance to test a 64 bits userland yet, but the implementation didn't change and was tested earlier).

2005-11-11[PATCH] powerpc: Move udbg code to arch/powerpcDavid Gibson
Since the udbg code in ppc64 has no ppc32 equivalent, move it straight over into arch/powerpc (and include/asm-powerpc for udbg.h). In time, we probably want to meld the various bits and pieces of 32-bit early debugging code into udbg, but for now only include it on CONFIG_PPC64=y builds. The only change during the move is to standardise the protecting #ifdef/#define in udbg.h, and move its banner comment above the initial #ifdef (which seems to be normal practice). Built and booted on POWER5 LPAR (ARCH=powerpc and ARCH=ppc64). Built for 32bit multiplatform (ARCH=powerpc).

TCP peformance with TSO over networks with delay is awful. On a 100Mbit link with 150ms delay, we get 4Mbits/sec with TSO and 50Mbits/sec without TSO. The problem is with TSO, we intentionally do not keep the maximum number of packets in flight to fill the window, we hold out to until we can send a MSS chunk. But, we also don't update the congestion window unless we have filled, as per RFC2861. This patch replaces the check for the congestion window being full with something smarter that accounts for TSO.

2005-11-10[PATCH] PCI: Change MSI to use physical delivery mode alwaysAshok Raj
MSI hardcoded delivery mode to use logical delivery mode. Recently x86_64 moved to use physical mode addressing to support physflat mode. With this mode enabled noticed that my eth with MSI werent working. msi_address_init() was hardcoded to use logical mode for i386 and x86_64. So when we switch to use physical mode, things stopped working. Since anyway we dont use lowest priority delivery with MSI, its always directed to just a single CPU. Its safe and simpler to use physical mode always, even when we use logical delivery mode for IPI's or other ioapic RTE's.

2005-11-10[PATCH] PCI: add pci_find_next_capability()Roland Dreier
Some devices have more than one capability of the same type. For example, the PCI header for the PathScale InfiniPath looks like: 04:01.0 InfiniBand: Unknown device 1fc1:000d (rev 02) Subsystem: Unknown device 1fc1:000d Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 193 Memory at fea00000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=2M] Capabilities: [c0] HyperTransport: Slave or Primary Interface Capabilities: [f8] HyperTransport: Interrupt Discovery and Configuration There are _two_ HyperTransport capabilities, and the PathScale driver wants to look at both of them. The current pci_find_capability() API doesn't work for this, since it only allows us to get to the first capability of a given type.
