      virtio-ring: move queue_index to vring_virtqueue · 17bb6d40
      Jason Wang 提交于
      Instead of storing the queue index in transport-specific virtio structs,
      this patch moves them to vring_virtqueue and introduces an helper to get
      the value.  This lets drivers simplify their management and tracing of
      virtqueues.

      virtio-blk: Add REQ_FLUSH and REQ_FUA support to bio path · c85a1f91
      Asias He 提交于
      We need to support both REQ_FLUSH and REQ_FUA for bio based path since
      it does not get the sequencing of REQ_FUA into REQ_FLUSH that request
      based drivers can request.
      
      REQ_FLUSH is emulated by:
      A) If the bio has no data to write:
      1. Send VIRTIO_BLK_T_FLUSH to device,
      2. In the flush I/O completion handler, finish the bio
      
      B) If the bio has data to write:
      1. Send VIRTIO_BLK_T_FLUSH to device
      2. In the flush I/O completion handler, send the actual write data to device
      3. In the write I/O completion handler, finish the bio
      
      REQ_FUA is emulated by:
      1. Send the actual write data to device
      2. In the write I/O completion handler, send VIRTIO_BLK_T_FLUSH to device
      3. In the flush I/O completion handler, finish the bio
      
      Changes in v7:
      - Using vbr->flags to trace request type
      - Dropped unnecessary struct virtio_blk *vblk parameter
      - Reuse struct virtblk_req in bio done function
      
      Cahnges in v6:
      - Reworked REQ_FLUSH and REQ_FUA emulatation order

      virtio-blk: Add bio-based IO path for virtio-blk · a98755c5
      Asias He 提交于
      This patch introduces bio-based IO path for virtio-blk.
      
      Compared to request-based IO path, bio-based IO path uses driver
      provided ->make_request_fn() method to bypasses the IO scheduler. It
      handles the bio to device directly without allocating a request in block
      layer. This reduces the IO path in guest kernel to achieve high IOPS
      and lower latency. The downside is that guest can not use the IO
      scheduler to merge and sort requests. However, this is not a big problem
      if the backend disk in host side uses faster disk device.
      
      When the bio-based IO path is not enabled, virtio-blk still uses the
      original request-based IO path, no performance difference is observed.
      
      Using a slow device e.g. normal SATA disk, the bio-based IO path for
      sequential read and write are slower than req-based IO path due to lack
      of merge in guest kernel. So we make the bio-based path optional.

      ftrace: Allow stealing pages from pipe buffer · d55cb6cf
      Masami Hiramatsu 提交于
      Use generic steal operation on pipe buffer to allow stealing
      ring buffer's read page from pipe buffer.
      
      Note that this could reduce the performance of splice on the
      splice_write side operation without affinity setting.
      Since the ring buffer's read pages are allocated on the
      tracing-node, but the splice user does not always execute
      splice write side operation on the same node. In this case,
      the page will be accessed from the another node.
      Thus, it is strongly recommended to assign the splicing
      thread to corresponding node.

      Add a failback memcpy path for unstealable pipe buffer.
      If buf->ops->steal() fails, virtio-serial tries to
      copy the page contents to an allocated page, instead
      of just failing splice().

      virtio/console: Add splice_write support · eb5e89fc
      Masami Hiramatsu 提交于
      Enable to use splice_write from pipe to virtio-console port.
      This steals pages from pipe and directly send it to host.
      
      Note that this may accelerate only the guest to host path.

       - Use GFP_KERNEL instead of GFP_ATOMIC in syscall context function.

      Pull another workqueue fix from Tejun Heo:
       "Unfortunately, yet another late fix.  This too is discovered and fixed
        by Lai.  This bug was introduced during this merge window by commit
        25511a47 ("workqueue: reimplement CPU online rebinding to handle
        idle workers") which started using WORKER_REBIND flag for idle rebind
        too.
      
        The bug is relatively easy to trigger if the CPU rapidly goes through
        off, on and then off (and stay off).  The fix is on the safer side.
        This hasn't been on linux-next yet but I'm pushing early so that it
        can get more exposure before v3.6 release."

      workqueue: always clear WORKER_REBIND in busy_worker_rebind_fn() · 960bd11b
      Lai Jiangshan 提交于
      busy_worker_rebind_fn() didn't clear WORKER_REBIND if rebinding failed
      (CPU is down again).  This used to be okay because the flag wasn't
      used for anything else.
      
      However, after 25511a47 "workqueue: reimplement CPU online rebinding
      to handle idle workers", WORKER_REBIND is also used to command idle
      workers to rebind.  If not cleared, the worker may confuse the next
      CPU_UP cycle by having REBIND spuriously set or oops / get stuck by
      prematurely calling idle_worker_rebind().

      mm/page_alloc: fix the page address of higher page's buddy calculation · 0ba8f2d5
      Li Haifeng 提交于
      The heuristic method for buddy has been introduced since commit
      43506fad ("mm/page_alloc.c: simplify calculation of combined index
      of adjacent buddy lists").  But the page address of higher page's buddy
      was wrongly calculated, which will lead page_is_buddy to fail for ever.
      IOW, the heuristic method would be disabled with the wrong page address
      of higher page's buddy.
      
      Calculating the page address of higher page's buddy should be based
      higher_page with the offset between index of higher page and index of
      higher page's buddy.

      drivers/rtc/rtc-twl.c: ensure all interrupts are disabled during probe · 8dcebaa9
      Kevin Hilman 提交于
      On some platforms, bootloaders are known to do some interesting RTC
      programming.  Without going into the obscurities as to why this may be
      the case, suffice it to say the the driver should not make any
      assumptions about the state of the RTC when the driver loads.  In
      particular, the driver probe should be sure that all interrupts are
      disabled until otherwise programmed.
      
      This was discovered when finding bursty I2C traffic every second on
      Overo platforms.  This I2C overhead was keeping the SoC from hitting
      deep power states.  The cause was found to be the RTC firing every
      second on the I2C-connected TWL PMIC.
      
      Special thanks to Felipe Balbi for suggesting to look for a rogue driver
      as the source of the I2C traffic rather than the I2C driver itself.
      
      Special thanks to Steve Sakoman for helping track down the source of the
      continuous RTC interrups on the Overo boards.

      accidentally replaced the "size" parameter of sk_rmem_schedule() with an

      return statement.
      
      In sk_wmem_schedule we have syntactically the same comparison, but
      "size" is a signed integer.  In addition, __sk_mem_schedule() takes a
      signed integer for its "size" parameter, so there is an implicit type
      conversion in sk_rmem_schedule() anyway.
      
      Revert the "size" parameter back to a signed integer so that the
      semantics of the expressions in both sk_[rw]mem_schedule() are exactly
      the same.

      slub: consider pfmemalloc_match() in get_partial_node() · 8ba00bb6
      Joonsoo Kim 提交于
      get_partial() is currently not checking pfmemalloc_match() meaning that
      it is possible for pfmemalloc pages to leak to non-pfmemalloc users.
      This is a problem in the following situation.  Assume that there is a
      request from normal allocation and there are no objects in the per-cpu
      cache and no node-partial slab.
      
      In this case, slab_alloc enters the slow path and new_slab_objects() is
      called which may return a PFMEMALLOC page.  As the current user is not
      allowed to access PFMEMALLOC page, deactivate_slab() is called
      ([5091b74a: mm: slub: optimise the SLUB fast path to avoid pfmemalloc
      checks]) and returns an object from PFMEMALLOC page.
      
      Next time, when we get another request from normal allocation,
      slab_alloc() enters the slow-path and calls new_slab_objects().  In
      new_slab_objects(), we call get_partial() and get a partial slab which
      was just deactivated but is a pfmemalloc page.  We extract one object
      from it and re-deactivate.
      
        "deactivate -> re-get in get_partial -> re-deactivate" occures repeatedly.
      
      As a result, access to PFMEMALLOC page is not properly restricted and it
      can cause a performance degradation due to frequent deactivation.
      deactivation frequently.
      
      This patch changes get_partial_node() to take pfmemalloc_match() into
      account and prevents the "deactivate -> re-get in get_partial()
      scenario.  Instead, new_slab() is called.

      slab: do ClearSlabPfmemalloc() for all pages of slab · 30c29bea
      Mel Gorman 提交于
      Right now, we call ClearSlabPfmemalloc() for first page of slab when we
      clear SlabPfmemalloc flag.  This is fine for most swap-over-network use
      cases as it is expected that order-0 pages are in use.  Unfortunately it
      is possible that that __ac_put_obj() checks SlabPfmemalloc on a tail
      page and while this is harmless, it is sloppy.  This patch ensures that
      the head page is always used.
      
      This problem was originally identified by Joonsoo Kim.

      nbd: clear waiting_queue on shutdown · fded4e09
      Paul Clements 提交于
      Fix a serious but uncommon bug in nbd which occurs when there is heavy
      I/O going to the nbd device while, at the same time, a failure (server,
      network) or manual disconnect of the nbd connection occurs.
      
      There is a small window between the time that the nbd_thread is stopped
      and the socket is shutdown where requests can continue to be queued to
      nbd's internal waiting_queue.  When this happens, those requests are
      never completed or freed.
      
      The fix is to clear the waiting_queue on shutdown of the nbd device, in
      the same way that the nbd request queue (queue_head) is already being
      cleared.

      mm/ia64: fix a memory block size bug · 05cf9639
      Jianguo Wu 提交于
      I found following definition in include/linux/memory.h, in my IA64
      platform, SECTION_SIZE_BITS is equal to 32, and MIN_MEMORY_BLOCK_SIZE
      will be 0.
      
        #define MIN_MEMORY_BLOCK_SIZE     (1 << SECTION_SIZE_BITS)
      
      Because MIN_MEMORY_BLOCK_SIZE is int type and length of 32bits,
      so MIN_MEMORY_BLOCK_SIZE(1 << 32) will will equal to 0.
      Actually when SECTION_SIZE_BITS >= 31, MIN_MEMORY_BLOCK_SIZE will be wrong.
      This will cause wrong system memory infomation in sysfs.
      I think it should be:
      
        #define MIN_MEMORY_BLOCK_SIZE     (1UL << SECTION_SIZE_BITS)
      
      And "echo offline > memory0/state" will cause following call trace:

      memory hotplug: reset pgdat->kswapd to NULL if creating kernel thread fails · 18b48d58
      Wen Congyang 提交于
      If kthread_run() fails, pgdat->kswapd contains errno.  When we stop this
      thread, we only check whether pgdat->kswapd is NULL and access it.  If
      it contains errno, it will cause page fault.  Reset pgdat->kswapd to
      NULL when creating kernel thread fails can avoid this problem.

      fs/proc: fix potential unregister_sysctl_table hang · 6bf61045
      Francesco Ruggeri 提交于
      The unregister_sysctl_table() function hangs if all references to its
      ctl_table_header structure are not dropped.
      
      This can happen sometimes because of a leak in proc_sys_lookup():
      proc_sys_lookup() gets a reference to the table via lookup_entry(), but
      it does not release it when a subsequent call to sysctl_follow_link()
      fails.
      
      This patch fixes this leak by making sure the reference is always
      dropped on return.
      
      See also commit 076c3eed ("sysctl: Rewrite proc_sys_lookup
      introducing find_entry and lookup_entry") which reorganized this code in
      3.4.
      
      Tested in Linux 3.4.4.
