* OMAP: clockdomain: Wait for powerdomain to be ON when using clockdomain ↵Santosh Shilimkar2011-08-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | force wakeup While using clockdomain force wakeup method, not waiting for powerdomain to be effectively ON may end up locking the clockdomain FSM until a next wakeup event occurs. One such issue was seen on OMAP4430, where L4_PER was periodically getting stuck in in-transition state when transitioning from from OSWR to ON.

* OMAP: powerdomains: Make all powerdomain target states as ON at initRajendra Nayak2011-08-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Program all powerdomain target state as ON; this is to prevent domains from hitting low power states (if bootloader has target states set to something other than ON) and potentially even losing context while PM is not fully initialized, which can cause the system to crash. The PM late init code can then program the desired target state for all the power domains.

| * Revert "cfq: Remove special treatment for metadata rqs."Jens Axboe2011-08-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We have a kernel build regression since 3.1-rc1, which is about 10% regression. The kernel source is in an ext3 filesystem. Alex Shi bisect it to commit: commit a07405b7802691d29ab3b23bdc76ee6d006aad0b Author: Justin TerAvest <teravest@google.com> Date: Sun Jul 10 22:09:19 2011 +0200 cfq: Remove special treatment for metadata rqs. Apparently this is caused by lack metadata preemption, where ext3/ext4 do use READ_META. I didn't see a way to fix the issue, so suggest reverting the patch.

| * block: fix flush machinery for stacking drivers with differring flush flagsJeff Moyer2011-08-15

The test I ran was fs_mark, and it dropped from ~800 files/sec on ext4 to ~100 files/sec. It turns out that dm-multipath always advertised flush+fua support, and passed commands on down the stack, where those flags used to get stripped off. The above commit changed that behavior: static inline struct request *__elv_next_request(struct request_queue *q) { struct request *rq; while (1) { - while (!list_empty(&q->queue_head)) { + if (!list_empty(&q->queue_head)) { rq = list_entry_rq(q->queue_head.next); - if (!(rq->cmd_flags & (REQ_FLUSH | REQ_FUA)) || - (rq->cmd_flags & REQ_FLUSH_SEQ)) - return rq; - rq = blk_do_flush(q, rq); - if (rq) - return rq; + return rq; } Note that previously, a command would come in here, have REQ_FLUSH|REQ_FUA set, and then get handed off to blk_do_flush: struct request *blk_do_flush(struct request_queue *q, struct request *rq) { unsigned int fflags = q->flush_flags; /* may change, cache it */ bool has_flush = fflags & REQ_FLUSH, has_fua = fflags & REQ_FUA; bool do_preflush = has_flush && (rq->cmd_flags & REQ_FLUSH); bool do_postflush = has_flush && !has_fua && (rq->cmd_flags & REQ_FUA); unsigned skip = 0; ... if (blk_rq_sectors(rq) && !do_preflush && !do_postflush) { rq->cmd_flags &= ~REQ_FLUSH; if (!has_fua) rq->cmd_flags &= ~REQ_FUA; return rq; } So, the flush machinery was bypassed in such cases (q->flush_flags == 0 && rq->cmd_flags & (REQ_FLUSH|REQ_FUA)). Now, however, we don't get into the flush machinery at all. Instead, __elv_next_request just hands a request with flush and fua bits set to the scsi_request_fn, even if the underlying request_queue does not support flush or fua. The agreed upon approach is to fix the flush machinery to allow stacking. While this isn't used in practice (since there is only one request-based dm target, and that target will now reflect the flush flags of the underlying device), it does future-proof the solution, and make it function as designed. In order to make this work, I had to add a field to the struct request, inside the flush structure (to store the original req->end_io). Shaohua had suggested overloading the union with rb_node and completion_data, but the completion data is used by device mapper and can also be used by other drivers. So, I didn't see a way around the additional field. I tested this patch on an HP EVA with both ext4 and xfs, and it recovers the lost performance. Comments and other testers, as always, are appreciated. Cheers, Jeff Signed-off-by: Jeff Moyer <jmoyer@redhat.com> Acked-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jaxboe@fusionio.com>
| * block: improve rq_affinity placementShaohua Li2011-08-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch reverts commit 35ae66e0a09ab70ed(block: Make rq_affinity = 1 work as expected). The purpose is to avoid an unnecessary IPI. Let's take an example. My test box has cpu 0-7, one socket. Say request is added from CPU 1, blk_complete_request() occurs at CPU 7. Without the reverted patch, softirq will be done at CPU 7. With it, an IPI will be directed to CPU 0, and softirq will be done at CPU 0. In this case, doing softirq at CPU 0 and CPU 7 have no difference from cache sharing point view and we can avoid an ipi if doing it in CPU 7. An immediate concern is this is just like QUEUE_FLAG_SAME_FORCE, but actually not. blk_complete_request() is running in interrupt handler, and currently I/O controller doesn't support multiple interrupts (I checked several LSI cards and AHCI), so only one CPU can run blk_complete_request(). This is still quite different as QUEUE_FLAG_SAME_FORCE. Since only one CPU runs softirq, the only difference with below patch is softirq not always runs at the first CPU of a group.

| * blktrace: add FLUSH/FUA supportNamhyung Kim2011-08-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add FLUSH/FUA support to blktrace. As FLUSH precedes WRITE and/or FUA follows WRITE, use the same 'F' flag for both cases and distinguish them by their (relative) position. The end results look like (other flags might be shown also): - WRITE: W - WRITE_FLUSH: FW - WRITE_FUA: WF - WRITE_FLUSH_FUA: FWF Note that we reuse TC_BARRIER due to lack of bit space of act_mask so that the older versions of blktrace tools will report flush requests as barriers from now on.

Fix this mismatch by moving the setting of REQ_FSEQ_DATA outside of the REQ_FLUSH check. Tejun notes: Hmmm... yes, this can become a correctness issue if (and only if) blk_queue_flush() is called to change q->flush_flags while requests are in-flight; otherwise, requests wouldn't reach the function at all. Also, I think it would be a generally good idea to always set FSEQ_DATA if the request has data.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are always questions about why CFQ is idling on various conditions. Recent ones is Christoph asking again why to idle on REQ_NOIDLE. His assertion is that XFS is relying more and more on workqueues and is concerned that CFQ idling on IO from every workqueue will impact XFS badly. So he suggested that I add some more documentation about CFQ idling and that can provide more clarity on the topic and also gives an opprotunity to poke a hole in theory and lead to improvements.

This patch fix problem by simpling removing group_cpu and the codes are more explicit now. If ccpu == cpu, we complete in cpu, otherwise we raise_blk_irq to ccpu.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | FQ keeps track of number of groups which are linked on blkcg->blkg_list. This is useful to avoid races between queue exit and cgroup exit code paths. So if at the request queue exit time linked group count is not zero, that means there are some group out there which is yet to be deleted under rcu read period and queue exit code should wait for on rcu period. In my previous patch I forgot to decrease the number of group count. So in current form, we nr_blkcg_linked_grps is always non-zero and we will always wait one rcu period (if BLK_CGROUP=y). The side effect of this is that it can increase boot time. I am surprised, nobody complained so far. Signed-off-by: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jaxboe@fusionio.com>

The number can only be changed at module init time. To find a free device to use, /dev/loop%i needs to be scanned, and all devices need to be opened until a free one is possibly found. This adds a new /dev/loop-control device node, that allows to dynamically find or allocate a free device, and to add and remove loop devices from the running system: LOOP_CTL_ADD adds a specific device. Arg is the number of the device. It returns the device i or a negative error code. LOOP_CTL_REMOVE removes a specific device, Arg is the number the device. It returns the device i or a negative error code. LOOP_CTL_GET_FREE finds the next unbound device or allocates a new one. No arg is given. It returns the device i or a negative error code. The loop kernel module gets automatically loaded when /dev/loop-control is accessed the first time. The alias specified in the module, instructs udev to create this 'dead' device node, even when the module is not loaded. Example: cfd = open("/dev/loop-control", O_RDWR); # add a new specific loop device err = ioctl(cfd, LOOP_CTL_ADD, devnr); # remove a specific loop device err = ioctl(cfd, LOOP_CTL_REMOVE, devnr); # find or allocate a free loop device to use devnr = ioctl(cfd, LOOP_CTL_GET_FREE); sprintf(loopname, "/dev/loop%i", devnr); ffd = open("backing-file", O_RDWR); lfd = open(loopname, O_RDWR); err = ioctl(lfd, LOOP_SET_FD, ffd); Cc: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Karel Zak <kzak@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jaxboe@fusionio.com>

This can be a problem on some setup. For example, if a hotplug bridge has 8 children hotplug bridges, the bridge should have enough resources to accomodate the hotplug requirements for each of its children hotplug bridges. Currently this is not the case. This patch fixes the problem.

There is a sizable performance boost for having the largest possible maximum payload size on each PCI-E device. However, if improperly configured, fatal bus errors can occur. Thus, it is important to ensure that PCI-E payloads sends by a device are never larger than the MPS setting of all devices on the way to the destination. This can be achieved two ways: - A conservative approach is to use the smallest common denominator of the entire tree below a root complex for every device on that fabric. This means for example that having a 128 bytes MPS USB controller on one leg of a switch will dramatically reduce performances of a video card or 10GE adapter on another leg of that same switch. It also means that any hierarchy supporting hotplug slots (including expresscard or thunderbolt I suppose, dbl check that) will have to be entirely clamped to 128 bytes since we cannot predict what will be plugged into those slots, and we cannot change the MPS on a "live" system. - A more optimal way is possible, if it falls within a couple of constraints: * The top-level host bridge will never generate packets larger than the smallest TLP (or if it can be controlled independently from its MPS at least) * The device will never generate packets larger than MPS (which can be configured via MRRS) * No support of direct PCI-E <-> PCI-E transfers between devices without some additional code to specifically deal with that case Then we can use an approach that basically ignores downstream requests and focuses exclusively on upstream requests. In that case, all we need to care about is that a device MPS is no larger than its parent MPS, which allows us to keep all switches/bridges to the max MPS supported by their parent and eventually the PHB. In this case, your USB controller would no longer "starve" your 10GE Ethernet and your hotplug slots won't affect your global MPS. Additionally, the hotplugged devices themselves can be configured to a larger MPS up to the value configured in the hotplug bridge. To choose between the two available options, two PCI kernel boot args have been added to the PCI calls. "pcie_bus_safe" will provide the former behavior, while "pcie_bus_perf" will perform the latter behavior. By default, the latter behavior is used. NOTE: due to the location of the enablement, each arch will need to add calls to this function. This patch only enables x86. This patch includes a number of changes recommended by Benjamin Herrenschmidt.

In that case, the server is perfectly entitled to respond with a NFS4ERR_BACK_CHAN_BUSY to any DESTROY_SESSION call.

The result is that we can trigger the BUG_ON() upon the next call to nfs4_cb_take_slot(). This patch fixes the above problem by using the slot id that was taken in the CB_SEQUENCE operation as a flag for whether or not we need to call nfs4_cb_free_slot(). It also fixes an atomicity problem: we need to set tbl->highest_used_slotid atomically with the check for NFS4_SESSION_DRAINING, otherwise we end up racing with the various tests in nfs4_begin_drain_session().
