* implement flush_work()Oleg Nesterov2007-05-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A basic problem with flush_scheduled_work() is that it blocks behind _all_ presently-queued works, rather than just the work whcih the caller wants to flush. If the caller holds some lock, and if one of the queued work happens to want that lock as well then accidental deadlocks can occur. One example of this is the phy layer: it wants to flush work while holding rtnl_lock(). But if a linkwatch event happens to be queued, the phy code will deadlock because the linkwatch callback function takes rtnl_lock. So we implement a new function which will flush a *single* work - just the one which the caller wants to free up. Thus we avoid the accidental deadlocks which can arise from unrelated subsystems' callbacks taking shared locks. flush_work() non-blockingly dequeues the work_struct which we want to kill, then it waits for its handler to complete on all CPUs. Add ->current_work to the "struct cpu_workqueue_struct", it points to currently running "struct work_struct". When flush_work(work) detects ->current_work == work, it inserts a barrier at the _head_ of ->worklist (and thus right _after_ that work) and waits for completition. This means that the next work fired on that CPU will be this barrier, or another barrier queued by concurrent flush_work(), so the caller of flush_work() will be woken before any "regular" work has a chance to run. When wait_on_work() unlocks workqueue_mutex (or whatever we choose to protect against CPU hotplug), CPU may go away. But in that case take_over_work() will move a barrier we queued to another CPU, it will be fired sometime, and wait_on_work() will be woken. Actually, we are doing cleanup_workqueue_thread()->kthread_stop() before take_over_work(), so cwq->thread should complete its ->worklist (and thus the barrier), because currently we don't check kthread_should_stop() in run_workqueue(). But even if we did, everything should be ok.

* Use common cpu_is_xxx() macros on AT91 and AVR32Haavard Skinnemoen2007-05-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Several drivers shared between AT91 and AVR32 chips use cpu_is_xxx() to handle CPU-specific differences. Currently, such code needs to be inside #ifdef CONFIG_ARCH_AT91 because the macros don't exist on AVR32. By defining the same macros on both AT91 and AVR32, these #ifdefs can be eliminated. Since the macros will evaluate to a constant value for CPUs that aren't supported by the current architecture, any code that is only needed on AT91 will be optimized away on AVR32 and vice versa.

* mca: add integrated device bus matchingJames Bottomley2007-05-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | The MCA bus has a few "integrated" functions, which are effectively virtual slots on the bus. The problem is that these special functions don't have dedicated pos IDs, so we have to manufacture ids for them outside the pos space ... and these ids can't be matched by the standard matching function, so add a special registration that requests a list of pos ids or a particular integrated function.

* Remove hardcoding of hard_smp_processor_id on UP systemsFernando Luis Vazquez Cao2007-05-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With the advent of kdump, the assumption that the boot CPU when booting an UP kernel is always the CPU with a particular hardware ID (often 0) (usually referred to as BSP on some architectures) is not valid anymore. The reason being that the dump capture kernel boots on the crashed CPU (the CPU that invoked crash_kexec), which may be or may not be that particular CPU. Move definition of hard_smp_processor_id for the UP case to architecture-specific code ("asm/smp.h") where it belongs, so that each architecture can provide its own implementation.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The idea is to move more and more things into the pbm, with the eventual goal of eliminating the pci_controller_info entirely as there really isn't any need for it. This stage of the transformations requires some reworking of the PCI error interrupt handling. It might be tricky to get rid of the pci_controller_info parenting for a few reasons: 1) When we get an uncorrectable or correctable error we want to interrogate the IOMMU and streaming cache of both PBMs for error status. These errors come from the UPA front-end which is shared between the two PBM PCI bus segments. Historically speaking this is why I choose the datastructure hierarchy of pci_controller_info-->pci_pbm_info 2) The probing does a portid/devhandle match to look for the 'other' pbm, but this is entirely an artifact and can be eliminated trivially. What we could do to solve #1 is to have a "buddy" pointer from one pbm to another. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

This was necessary both for reliablity and speed as reset was likely to fail if initiated too early and each try usually took more than 30secs to fail. Previous patches fixed the reliability part by fixing status and SCR handling in resets. This patch remedies the speed part by improving reset sequencing. Prereset waiting timeout is adjusted to 10s because spinup wait is replaced by reset sequencing and !BSY wait is not as important as before. During boot or module loading where the drive is already fully spun up, !BSY wait succeeds immediately, so 10s should be enough in most cases. It matters after hotplugging or other error conditions, but in those cases, !BSY wait in prereset simply can't be relied upon due to the varied and weird behaviors ATA controllers and devices show. Reset is now driven by ata_eh_reset_timeouts[] table which contains timeouts for each reset try. The first reset can be softreset but the following ones are always hardreset if available. Each timeout defines deadline for the reset try. If a reset try fails, reset is retried with the next timeout till the end of the timeout table is reached. If a reset try fails before the timeout with error, libata waits till the deadline of the failed try before retrying. IOW, the timeout table defines timetable of reset tries such that the n'th try always begins at least after the sum of all previous timeouts has passed. The current timetable defines 4 tries and takes around 1 minute. @0 : First try. This should succeed most of the time during boot. @10 : 10s is enough to spin up most consumer harddrives. Give it another shot. @20 : 20s should spin up > 99% of working drives. This has 30s timeout for retarded devices needing long idleness post reset. @55 : Final try with 5s timeout just in case. The above timetable is trade off between not annoying the device too much with frequent resets and taking reasonable amount of time in most cases. Some controllers may do better with shorter timeouts while others may fare better with longer but we just can't rely upon LLD writers to test each controller with wide variety of devices using various scenarios. We need default behavior which reasonably fits most cases. I've tested the above timetable on a dozen SATA controllers and a few PATA controllers with about a dozen different drives from all major vendors and 4 different ODDs from three different vendors for both boot and hotplug (if available) cases. Boot probing is not affected unless the device is broken in which cases new code gives up on the port after a minute rather than five or nine minutes. When hotplugging, most devices get detected on the first or second try. Multi-platter drives with long spin up time which sometimes took > 40 secs with the original code, now usually comes up during the second try and at least right after the third try @20.

| * | | libata: add deadline support to prereset and reset methodsTejun Heo2007-05-01

This patch is in preparation for EH timing improvements. * ata_wait_ready() never does busy sleep. It's only used from EH and no wait in EH is that urgent. This function also prints 'be patient' message automatically after 5 secs of waiting if more than 3 secs is remaining till deadline. * ata_bus_post_reset() now fails with error code if any of its wait fails. This is important because earlier reset tries will have shorter timeout than the spec requires. If a device fails to respond before the short timeout, reset should be retried with longer timeout rather than silently ignoring the device. There are three behavior differences. 1. Timeout is applied to both devices at once, not separately. This is more consistent with what the spec says. 2. When a device passes devchk but fails to become ready before deadline. Previouly, post_reset would just succeed and let device classification remove the device. New code fails the reset thus causing reset retry. After a few times, EH will give up disabling the port. 3. When slave device passes devchk but fails to become accessible (TF-wise) after reset. Original code disables dev1 after 30s timeout and continues as if the device doesn't exist, while the patched code fails reset. When this happens, new code fails reset on whole port rather than proceeding with only the primary device. If the failing device is suffering transient problems, new code retries reset which is a better behavior. If the failing device is actually broken, the net effect is identical to it, but not to the other device sharing the channel. In the previous code, reset would have succeeded after 30s thus detecting the working one. In the new code, reset fails and whole port gets disabled. IMO, it's a pathological case anyway (broken device sharing bus with working one) and doesn't really matter. * ata_bus_softreset() is changed to return error code from ata_bus_post_reset(). It used to return 0 unconditionally. * Spin up waiting is to be removed and not converted to honor deadline. * To be on the safe side, deadline is set to 40s for the time being.

This patch removes this, instead using the newer pgtable-nopmd.h to handle the elision of both the pud and pmd pagetable levels (ppc32 pagetables are actually 2 levels). This removes a little extraneous code, and makes it more easily compared to the 64-bit pagetable code.
