* Merge branch 'for-linus' of ↵Linus Torvalds2008-07-04
|\ | | | | | | | | | | | | git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/penberg/slab-2.6 * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/penberg/slab-2.6: slub: Do not use 192 byte sized cache if minimum alignment is 128 byte
| * slub: Do not use 192 byte sized cache if minimum alignment is 128 byteChristoph Lameter2008-07-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The 192 byte cache is not necessary if we have a basic alignment of 128 byte. If it would be used then the 192 would be aligned to the next 128 byte boundary which would result in another 256 byte cache. Two 256 kmalloc caches cause sysfs to complain about a duplicate entry. MIPS needs 128 byte aligned kmalloc caches and spits out warnings on boot without this patch.

* | Update maintainers for powerpcPaul Mackerras2008-07-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This updates the MAINTAINERS entries for powerpc. It adds Ben H to the overall Linux for PowerPC entry and makes it clear this covers both 32-bit and 64-bit machines. It removes the separate entry we had for Linux on 64-bit PowerPC where Anton and I were listed as maintainers - Anton hasn't been involved in the day-to-day maintenance of the code for several years. Finally, it removes the entry for the Linux for PowerPC boot code where Tom Rini was listed as the maintainer. That code got completely rewritten when we merged 32-bit and 64-bit, and I and the various platform maintainers have been maintaining that code since.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch (as1111) fixes a bug in the hub driver. When a hub resumes, disconnections that occurred while the hub was suspended are lost.

| * | USB: fix interrupt disabling for HCDs with shared interrupt handlersStefan Becker2008-07-03

Most USB HCD handlers use IRQF_DISABLED and therefore havoc can break out if they share their interrupt with a handler that doesn't use it. On my test machine the yenta_socket interrupt handler (no IRQF_DISABLED) was registered before ehci_hcd and one uhci_hcd instance. Therefore all usb_hcd_irq() invocations for ehci_hcd and for one uhci_hcd instance happened with interrupts enabled. That led to random lockups as USB core HCD functions that acquire the same spinlock could be called twice from interrupt handlers. This patch updates usb_hcd_irq() to always disable/restore interrupts. usb_add_hcd() will silently remove any IRQF_DISABLED requested from HCD code.

This seems to be a longstanding bug, possibly dating back to the Linux 2.4 kernel, which stayed hidden because (a) about half the time the data toggle bit was correct; (b) canceling such URBs is unusual; and (c) the few drivers which cancel these URBs either [1] do it only as part of shutting down, or [2] have fault recovery logic, which recovers. For those transfer types, the toggle is normally written back into the ED when each TD is retired. But canceling bypasses the mechanism used to retire TDs ... so on average, half the time the toggle bit will be invalid after cancelation. The fix is simple: the toggle state of any canceled TDs are propagated back to the ED in the finish_unlinks function. (Issue found by leonidv11@gmail.com ...)

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes a regression in the EHCI driver's TIMER_IO_WATCHDOG behavior. The patch "USB: EHCI: add separate IAA watchdog timer" changed how that timer is handled, so that short timeouts on the remaining timer (unfortunately, overloaded) would never be used. This takes a more direct approach, reorganizing the code slightly to be explicit about only the I/O watchdog role now being overridable. It also replaces a now-obsolete comment describing older timer behavior.

* | | hrtimer: prevent migration for raising softirqSteven Rostedt2008-07-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Due to a possible deadlock, the waking of the softirq was pushed outside of the hrtimer base locks. See commit 0c96c5979a522c3323c30a078a70120e29b5bdbc Unfortunately this allows the task to migrate after setting up the softirq and raising it. Since softirqs run a queue that is per-cpu we may raise the softirq on the wrong CPU and this will keep the queued softirq task from running. To solve this issue, this patch disables preemption around the releasing of the hrtimer lock and raising of the softirq.

* / / Do not overwrite nr_zones on !NUMA when initialising zlcache_ptrMel Gorman2008-07-03
|/ / | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The non-NUMA case of build_zonelist_cache() would initialize the zlcache_ptr for both node_zonelists[] to NULL. Which is problematic, since non-NUMA only has a single node_zonelists[] entry, and trying to zero the non-existent second one just overwrote the nr_zones field instead. As kswapd uses this value to determine what reclaim work is necessary, the result is that kswapd never reclaims. This causes processes to stall frequently in low-memory situations as they always direct reclaim. This patch initialises zlcache_ptr correctly.

However, during module cleanup, remove_bridge() will only remove the notify handler iff the root bridge had a hot-pluggable slot directly underneath. That is: root bridge -> hotplug slot But, if the topology looks like either of the following: root bridge -> non-hotplug slot root bridge -> p2p bridge -> hotplug slot Then we currently do not remove the notify handler from that root bridge. This can cause a kernel oops if we modprobe acpiphp later and it gets loaded somewhere else in memory. If the root bridge then receives a hotplug event, it will then attempt to call a stale, non-existent notify handler and we blow up. Much thanks goes to Gary Hade for his persistent debugging efforts.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For Broadcom 5706, 5708, 5709 rev. A nics, any read beyond the VPD end tag will hang the device. This problem was initially observed when a vpd entry was created in sysfs ('/sys/bus/pci/devices/<id>/vpd'). A read to this sysfs entry will dump 32k of data. Reading a full 32k will cause an access beyond the VPD end tag causing the device to hang. Once the device is hung, the bnx2 driver will not be able to reset the device. We believe that it is legal to read beyond the end tag and therefore the solution is to limit the read/write length. A majority of this patch is from Matthew Wilcox who gave code for reworking the PCI vpd size information. A PCI quirk added for the Broadcom NIC's to limit the read/write's.

It does the batch switch only after all requests from the previous batch are completed. When switching to a write batch, if there is an on-going read request, it waits for its completion and indicates its intention of switching by setting ad->changed_batch and the new direction but does not update the batch_expire_time for the new write batch which it does in the case of no previous pending requests. On completion of the read request, it sees that we were waiting for the switch and schedules work for kblockd right away and resets the ad->changed_data flag. Now when kblockd enters dispatch_request where it is expected to pick up a write request, it in turn ends the write batch because the batch_expire_timer was not updated and shows the expire timestamp for the previous batch. This results in the write starvation for all the cases where there is the intention for switching to a write batch, but there is a previous in-flight read request and the batch gets reverted to a read_batch right away. This also holds true in the reverse case (switching from a write batch to a read batch with an in-flight write request). I've checked that this bug exists on 2.6.11, 2.6.18, 2.6.24 and linux-2.6-block git HEAD. I've tested the fix on x86 platforms with SCSI drives where the driver asks for the next request while a current request is in-flight. This patch is based off linux-2.6-block git HEAD. Bug reproduction: A simple scenario which reproduces this bug is: - dd if=/dev/hda3 of=/dev/null & - lilo The lilo takes forever to complete. This can also be reproduced fairly easily with the earlier dd and another test program doing msync(). The example test program below should print out a message after every iteration but it simply hangs forever. With this bugfix it makes forward progress. ==== Example test program using msync() (thanks to suleiman AT google DOT com) inline uint64_t rdtsc(void) { int64_t tsc; __asm __volatile("rdtsc" : "=A" (tsc)); return (tsc); } int main(int argc, char **argv) { struct stat st; uint64_t e, s, t; char *p, q; long i; int fd; if (argc < 2) { printf("Usage: %s <file>\n", argv[0]); return (1); } if ((fd = open(argv[1], O_RDWR | O_NOATIME)) < 0) err(1, "open"); if (fstat(fd, &st) < 0) err(1, "fstat"); p = mmap(NULL, st.st_size, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0); t = 0; for (i = 0; i < 1000; i++) { *p = 0; msync(p, 4096, MS_SYNC); s = rdtsc(); *p = 0; __asm __volatile(""::: "memory"); e = rdtsc(); if (argc > 2) printf("%d: %lld cycles %jd %jd\n", i, e - s, (intmax_t)s, (intmax_t)e); t += e - s; } printf("average time: %lld cycles\n", t / 1000); return (0); } Cc: <stable@kernel.org> Acked-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

If we didn't find an SRAT table and so pick the default "32" for the number of cpus, when we get to: high_cpu = min(high_cpu + reserve_cpus, NR_CPUS); we will end up initializing for just 31 cpus ... and so we will die horribly when bringing up cpu#32.
