Replace/remove use of RIO v.1.2 registers/bits that are not forward-compatible with newer versions of RapidIO specification. RapidIO specification v.1.3 removed Write Port CSR, Doorbell CSR, Mailbox CSR and Mailbox and Doorbell bits of the PEF CAR. Use of removed (since RIO v.1.3) register bits affects users of currently available 1.3 and 2.x compliant devices who may use not so recent kernel versions. Removing checks for unsupported bits makes corresponding routines compatible with all versions of RapidIO specification. Therefore, backporting makes stable kernel versions compliant with RIO v.1.3 and later as well.

Purely in-memory filesystems do not use the inode hash as the dcache tells us if an entry already exists. As a result, they do not call unlock_new_inode, and thus directory inodes do not get put into a different lockdep class for i_sem. We need the different lockdep classes, because the locking order for i_mutex is different for directory inodes and regular inodes. Directory inodes can do "readdir()", which takes i_mutex *before* possibly taking mm->mmap_sem (due to a page fault while copying the directory entry to user space). In contrast, regular inodes can be mmap'ed, which takes mm->mmap_sem before accessing i_mutex. The two cases can never happen for the same inode, so no real deadlock can occur, but without the different lockdep classes, lockdep cannot understand that. As a result, if CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC is set, this can lead to false positives from lockdep like below: find/645 is trying to acquire lock: (&mm->mmap_sem){++++++}, at: [<ffffffff81109514>] might_fault+0x5c/0xac but task is already holding lock: (&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#15){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff81149f34>] vfs_readdir+0x5b/0xb4 which lock already depends on the new lock. the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is: -> #1 (&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#15){+.+.+.}: [<ffffffff8108ac26>] lock_acquire+0xbf/0x103 [<ffffffff814db822>] __mutex_lock_common+0x4c/0x361 [<ffffffff814dbc46>] mutex_lock_nested+0x40/0x45 [<ffffffff811daa87>] hugetlbfs_file_mmap+0x82/0x110 [<ffffffff81111557>] mmap_region+0x258/0x432 [<ffffffff811119dd>] do_mmap_pgoff+0x2ac/0x306 [<ffffffff81111b4f>] sys_mmap_pgoff+0x118/0x16a [<ffffffff8100c858>] sys_mmap+0x22/0x24 [<ffffffff814e3ec2>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b -> #0 (&mm->mmap_sem){++++++}: [<ffffffff8108a4bc>] __lock_acquire+0xa1a/0xcf7 [<ffffffff8108ac26>] lock_acquire+0xbf/0x103 [<ffffffff81109541>] might_fault+0x89/0xac [<ffffffff81149cff>] filldir+0x6f/0xc7 [<ffffffff811586ea>] dcache_readdir+0x67/0x205 [<ffffffff81149f54>] vfs_readdir+0x7b/0xb4 [<ffffffff8114a073>] sys_getdents+0x7e/0xd1 [<ffffffff814e3ec2>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b This patch moves the directory vs file lockdep annotation into a helper function that can be called by in-memory filesystems and has hugetlbfs call it.

I ran into a couple of programs which broke with the new Linux 3.0 version. Some of those were binary only. I tried to use LD_PRELOAD to work around it, but it was quite difficult and in one case impossible because of a mix of 32bit and 64bit executables. For example, all kind of management software from HP doesnt work, unless we pretend to run a 2.6 kernel. $ uname -a Linux svivoipvnx001 3.0.0-08107-g97cd98f #1062 SMP Fri Aug 12 18:11:45 CEST 2011 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux $ hpacucli ctrl all show Error: No controllers detected. $ rpm -qf /usr/sbin/hpacucli hpacucli-8.75-12.0 Another notable case is that Python now reports "linux3" from sys.platform(); which in turn can break things that were checking sys.platform() == "linux2": https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=664564 It seems pretty clear to me though it's a bug in the apps that are using '==' instead of .startswith(), but this allows us to unbreak broken programs. This patch adds a UNAME26 personality that makes the kernel report a 2.6.40+x version number instead. The x is the x in 3.x. I know this is somewhat ugly, but I didn't find a better workaround, and compatibility to existing programs is important. Some programs also read /proc/sys/kernel/osrelease. This can be worked around in user space with mount --bind (and a mount namespace) To use: wget ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/ak/uname26/uname26.c gcc -o uname26 uname26.c ./uname26 program Signed-off-by: NAndi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

tty_operations->remove is normally called like: queue_release_one_tty ->tty_shutdown ->tty_driver_remove_tty ->tty_operations->remove However tty_shutdown() is called from queue_release_one_tty() only if tty_operations->shutdown is NULL. But for pty, it is not. pty_unix98_shutdown() is used there as ->shutdown. So tty_operations->remove of pty (i.e. pty_unix98_remove()) is never called. This results in invalid pty_count. I.e. what can be seen in /proc/sys/kernel/pty/nr. I see this was already reported at: https://lkml.org/lkml/2009/11/5/370 But it was not fixed since then. This patch is kind of a hackish way. The problem lies in ->install. We allocate there another tty (so-called tty->link). So ->install is called once, but ->remove twice, for both tty and tty->link. The fix here is to count both tty and tty->link and divide the count by 2 for user. And to have ->remove called, let's make tty_driver_remove_tty() global and call that from pty_unix98_shutdown() (tty_operations->shutdown). While at it, let's document that when ->shutdown is defined, tty_shutdown() is not called. Signed-off-by: NJiri Slaby <jslaby@suse.cz> Cc: Alan Cox <alan@linux.intel.com> Cc: "H.

Revert the pass-good area introduced in ffd1f609 ("writeback: introduce max-pause and pass-good dirty limits") and make the max-pause area smaller and safe. This fixes ~30% performance regression in the ext3 data=writeback fio_mmap_randwrite_64k/fio_mmap_randrw_64k test cases, where there are 12 JBOD disks, on each disk runs 8 concurrent tasks doing reads+writes. Using deadline scheduler also has a regression, but not that big as CFQ, so this suggests we have some write starvation. The test logs show that - the disks are sometimes under utilized - global dirty pages sometimes rush high to the pass-good area for several hundred seconds, while in the mean time some bdi dirty pages drop to very low value (bdi_dirty << bdi_thresh). Then suddenly the global dirty pages dropped under global dirty threshold and bdi_dirty rush very high (for example, 2 times higher than bdi_thresh). During which time balance_dirty_pages() is not called at all. So the problems are 1) The random writes progress so slow that they break the assumption of the max-pause logic that "8 pages per 200ms is typically more than enough to curb heavy dirtiers". 2) The max-pause logic ignored task_bdi_thresh and thus opens the possibility for some bdi's to over dirty pages, leading to (bdi_dirty >> bdi_thresh) and then (bdi_thresh >> bdi_dirty) for others. 3) The higher max-pause/pass-good thresholds somehow leads to the bad swing of dirty pages. The fix is to allow the task to slightly dirty over task_bdi_thresh, but no way to exceed bdi_dirty and/or global dirty_thresh. Tests show that it fixed the JBOD regression completely (both behavior and performance), while still being able to cut down large pause times in balance_dirty_pages() for single-disk cases.

Commit ae1b1539, block: reimplement FLUSH/FUA to support merge, introduced a performance regression when running any sort of fsyncing workload using dm-multipath and certain storage (in our case, an HP EVA). 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.

The patch http://lkml.org/lkml/2003/7/13/226 introduced an RLIMIT_NPROC check in set_user() to check for NPROC exceeding via setuid() and similar functions. Before the check there was a possibility to greatly exceed the allowed number of processes by an unprivileged user if the program relied on rlimit only. But the check created new security threat: many poorly written programs simply don't check setuid() return code and believe it cannot fail if executed with root privileges. So, the check is removed in this patch because of too often privilege escalations related to buggy programs. The NPROC can still be enforced in the common code flow of daemons spawning user processes. Most of daemons do fork()+setuid()+execve(). The check introduced in execve() (1) enforces the same limit as in setuid() and (2) doesn't create similar security issues. Neil Brown suggested to track what specific process has exceeded the limit by setting PF_NPROC_EXCEEDED process flag. With the change only this process would fail on execve(), and other processes' execve() behaviour is not changed. Solar Designer suggested to re-check whether NPROC limit is still exceeded at the moment of execve(). If the process was sleeping for days between set*uid() and execve(), and the NPROC counter step down under the limit, the defered execve() failure because NPROC limit was exceeded days ago would be unexpected. If the limit is not exceeded anymore, we clear the flag on successful calls to execve() and fork(). The flag is also cleared on successful calls to set_user() as the limit was exceeded for the previous user, not the current one. Similar check was introduced in -ow patches (without the process flag). v3 - clear PF_NPROC_EXCEEDED on successful calls to set_user().

Commit a9ff4f87 "fuse: support BSD locking semantics" overlooked a number of issues with supporing flock locks over existing POSIX locking infrastructure: - it's not backward compatible, passing flock(2) calls to userspace unconditionally (if userspace sets FUSE_POSIX_LOCKS) - it doesn't cater for the fact that flock locks are automatically unlocked on file release - it doesn't take into account the fact that flock exclusive locks (write locks) don't need an fd opened for write. The last one invalidates the original premise of the patch that flock locks can be emulated with POSIX locks. This patch fixes the first two issues. The last one needs to be fixed in userspace if the filesystem assumed that a write lock will happen only on a file operned for write (as in the case of the current fuse library).

The inode structure layout is largely random, and some of the vfs paths really do care. The path lookup in particular is already quite D$ intensive, and profiles show that accessing the 'inode->i_op->xyz' fields is quite costly. We already optimized the dcache to not unnecessarily load the d_op structure for members that are often NULL using the DCACHE_OP_xyz bits in dentry->d_flags, and this does something very similar for the inode ops that are used during pathname lookup. It also re-orders the fields so that the fields accessed by 'stat' are together at the beginning of the inode structure, and roughly in the order accessed. The effect of this seems to be in the 1-2% range for an empty kernel "make -j" run (which is fairly kernel-intensive, mostly in filename lookup), so it's visible. The numbers are fairly noisy, though, and likely depend a lot on exact microarchitecture. So there's more tuning to be done. Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Gcc tends to generate better code with small integers, including the DCACHE_xyz flag tests - so move the common ones to be first in the list. Also just remove the unused DCACHE_INOTIFY_PARENT_WATCHED and DCACHE_AUTOFS_PENDING values, their users no longer exists in the source tree. And add a "unlikely()" to the DCACHE_OP_COMPARE test, since we want the common case to be a nice straight-line fall-through. Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Computers have become a lot faster since we compromised on the partial MD4 hash which we use currently for performance reasons. MD5 is a much safer choice, and is inline with both RFC1948 and other ISS generators (OpenBSD, Solaris, etc.) Furthermore, only having 24-bits of the sequence number be truly unpredictable is a very serious limitation. So the periodic regeneration and 8-bit counter have been removed. We compute and use a full 32-bit sequence number. For ipv6, DCCP was found to use a 32-bit truncated initial sequence number (it needs 43-bits) and that is fixed here as well.

For ChromiumOS, we use SHA-1 to verify the integrity of the root filesystem. The speed of the kernel sha-1 implementation has a major impact on our boot performance. To improve boot performance, we investigated using the heavily optimized sha-1 implementation used in git. With the git sha-1 implementation, we see a 11.7% improvement in boot time. 10 reboots, remove slowest/fastest. Before: Mean: 6.58 seconds Stdev: 0.14 After (with git sha-1, this patch): Mean: 5.89 seconds Stdev: 0.07 The other cool thing about the git SHA-1 implementation is that it only needs 64 bytes of stack for the workspace while the original kernel implementation needed 320 bytes.
