* [PATCH] fix file countingDipankar Sarma2006-03-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I have benchmarked this on an x86_64 NUMA system and see no significant performance difference on kernbench. Tested on both x86_64 and powerpc. The way we do file struct accounting is not very suitable for batched freeing. For scalability reasons, file accounting was constructor/destructor based. This meant that nr_files was decremented only when the object was removed from the slab cache. This is susceptible to slab fragmentation. With RCU based file structure, consequent batched freeing and a test program like Serge's, we just speed this up and end up with a very fragmented slab - llm22:~ # cat /proc/sys/fs/file-nr 587730 0 758844 At the same time, I see only a 2000+ objects in filp cache. The following patch I fixes this problem. This patch changes the file counting by removing the filp_count_lock. Instead we use a separate percpu counter, nr_files, for now and all accesses to it are through get_nr_files() api. In the sysctl handler for nr_files, we populate files_stat.nr_files before returning to user. Counting files as an when they are created and destroyed (as opposed to inside slab) allows us to correctly count open files with RCU. Signed-off-by: Dipankar Sarma <dipankar@in.ibm.com> Cc: "Paul E.

* [PATCH] rcu batch tuningDipankar Sarma2006-03-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds new tunables for RCU queue and finished batches. There are two types of controls - number of completed RCU updates invoked in a batch (blimit) and monitoring for high rate of incoming RCUs on a cpu (qhimark, qlowmark). By default, the per-cpu batch limit is set to a small value. If the input RCU rate exceeds the high watermark, we do two things - force quiescent state on all cpus and set the batch limit of the CPU to INTMAX. Setting batch limit to INTMAX forces all finished RCUs to be processed in one shot. If we have more than INTMAX RCUs queued up, then we have bigger problems anyway. Once the incoming queued RCUs fall below the low watermark, the batch limit is set to the default. Signed-off-by: Dipankar Sarma <dipankar@in.ibm.com> Cc: "Paul E.

* [PATCH] percpu_counter_sum()Andrew Morton2006-03-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Implement percpu_counter_sum(). This is a more accurate but slower version of percpu_counter_read_positive().

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Patch from Catalin Marinas Chapter B2.7.3 in the latest ARM ARM (with v6 information) states that the completion of a TLB maintenance operation is only guaranteed by the execution of a DSB (Data Syncronization Barrier, formerly Data Write Barrier or Drain Write Buffer).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Also from Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Function next_timer_interrupt() got broken with a recent patch 6ba1b91213e81aa92b5cf7539f7d2a94ff54947c as sys_nanosleep() was moved to hrtimer.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The only reason post_input exists at all is that it gives us the potential to adjust the checksums incrementally in future which we ought to do. However, after thinking about it for a bit we can adjust the checksums without using this post_input stuff at all. The crucial point is that only the inner-most NAT-T SA needs to be considered when adjusting checksums. What's more, the checksum adjustment comes down to a single u32 due to the linearity of IP checksums. We just happen to have a spare u32 lying around in our skb structure :) When ip_summed is set to CHECKSUM_NONE on input, the value of skb->csum is currently unused. All we have to do is to make that the checksum adjustment and voila, there goes all the post_input and decap structures! I've left in the decap data structures for now since it's intricately woven into the sec_path stuff. We can kill them later too.

The simple fix of calling prom_prepare_cpus from one of the earlier SMP initialization hooks doesn't work well either since IPIs may require init_IRQ() to have completed, so bit the bullet and split prom_prepare_cpus into two initialization functions, plat_smp_setup which is called early from setup_arch and plat_prepare_cpus called where prom_prepare_cpus used to be called.

But the fact remains that some application might want this behavior. We have one chance to help implementing this without breaking the behavior. For this we could use the new linkat interface which would need a new flags parameter. If the new parameter is AT_SYMLINK_FOLLOW the new behavior could be invoked. I do not want to introduce such a patch now. But we could add the parameter now, just don't use it. The patch below would do this.

My original runlatch code would set it on every exception entry even though most of the time this was not required. It would also continually set it in the idle loop, which is an issue on an SMT capable processor. Now we cache the runlatch value in a threadinfo bit, and only check for it in decrementer and hardware interrupt exceptions as well as the idle loop. Boot on POWER3, POWER5 and iseries, and compile tested on pmac32. Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
* | [PATCH] powerpc: Enable coherency for all pages on 83xx to fix PCI data ↵Kumar Gala2006-02-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | corruption On the 83xx platform to ensure the PCI inbound memory is handled properly we have to turn on coherency for all pages in the MMU. Otherwise we see corruption if inbound "prefetching/streaming" is enabled on the PCI controller.

* | [PATCH] powerpc: Only calculate htab_size in one place for kexecMichael Ellerman2006-02-23
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For kexec we need to know the size of the MMU hash table. Currently we calculate the size once in the htab code, and then twice more in the kexec code, once using htab_hash_mask and once using ppc64_pft_size. On some machines the ppc64_pft_size calculation is broken because ppc64_pft_size is not set. So we need to fix the second calculation, but better still we should just calculate the size once and use it everywhere else. Tested on Power5 LPAR, Power4 non-LPAR and Power3.

| * [ARM] 3325/2: GPIO function to control multi-drive (open collector) capabilityAndrew Victor2006-02-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Patch from Andrew Victor This patch adds the at91_set_multi_drive() function to enable/disable the multi-drive (open collector) pin capability on the AT91RM9200 processor. This is necessary to fix the UDC (USB Gadget) driver for the AT91RM9200 board as it will not allow the board reset line to be pulled low if the pullup is not driven as an open collector output as the boards are wired to the USB connector on both the DK/EK. This version of the patch updates it to 2.6.16-rc4. Orignal patch by Jeff Warren. Signed-off-by: Andrew Victor <andrew@sanpeople.com> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
