This tries to make the 'struct inode' accesses denser in the data cache by moving a commonly accessed field (i_security) closer to other fields that are accessed often. It also makes 'i_state' just an 'unsigned int' rather than 'unsigned long', since we only use a few bits of that field, and moves it next to the existing 'i_flags' so that we potentially get better structure layout (although depending on config options, i_flags may already have packed in the same word as i_lock, so this improves packing only for the case of spinlock debugging) Out 'struct inode' is still way too big, and we should probably move some other fields around too (the acl fields in particular) for better data cache access density. Other fields (like the inode hash) are likely to be entirely irrelevant under most loads. Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Some USB mass-storage devices have bugs that cause them not to handle the first READ(10) command they receive correctly. The Corsair Padlock v2 returns completely bogus data for its first read (possibly it returns the data in encrypted form even though the device is supposed to be unlocked). The Feiya SD/SDHC card reader fails to complete the first READ(10) command after it is plugged in or after a new card is inserted, returning a status code that indicates it thinks the command was invalid, which prevents the kernel from retrying the read. Since the first read of a new device or a new medium is for the partition sector, the kernel is unable to retrieve the device's partition table. Users have to manually issue an "hdparm -z" or "blockdev --rereadpt" command before they can access the device. This patch (as1470) works around the problem. It adds a new quirk flag, US_FL_INVALID_READ10, indicating that the first READ(10) should always be retried immediately, as should any failing READ(10) commands (provided the preceding READ(10) command succeeded, to avoid getting stuck in a loop). The patch also adds appropriate unusual_devs entries containing the new flag.

By default the io_tlb_nslabs is set to zero, and gets set to whatever value is passed in via swiotlb_init_with_tbl function. The default value passed in is 64MB. However, if the user provides the 'swiotlb=<nslabs>' the default value is ignored and the value provided by the user is used... Except when the SWIOTLB is used under Xen - there the default value of 64MB is used and the Xen-SWIOTLB has no mechanism to get the 'io_tlb_nslabs' filled out by setup_io_tlb_npages functions. This patch provides a function for the Xen-SWIOTLB to call to see if the io_tlb_nslabs is set and if so use that value.

Caching "we have already removed suid/caps" was overenthusiastic as merged. On network filesystems we might have had suid/caps set on another client, silently picked by this client on revalidate, all of that *without* clearing the S_NOSEC flag. AFAICS, the only reasonably sane way to deal with that is * new superblock flag; unless set, S_NOSEC is not going to be set. * local block filesystems set it in their ->mount() (more accurately, mount_bdev() does, so does btrfs ->mount(), users of mount_bdev() other than local block ones clear it) * if any network filesystem (or a cluster one) wants to use S_NOSEC, it'll need to set MS_NOSEC in sb->s_flags *AND* take care to clear S_NOSEC when inode attribute changes are picked from other clients. It's not an earth-shattering hole (anybody that can set suid on another client will almost certainly be able to write to the file before doing that anyway), but it's a bug that needs fixing.

This reverts commit b1c43f82. It was broken in so many ways, and results in random odd pty issues. It re-introduced the buggy schedule_work() in flush_to_ldisc() that can cause endless work-loops (see commit a5660b41: "tty: fix endless work loop when the buffer fills up"). It also used an "unsigned int" return value fo the ->receive_buf() function, but then made multiple functions return a negative error code, and didn't actually check for the error in the caller. And it didn't actually work at all. BenH bisected down odd tty behavior to it: "It looks like the patch is causing some major malfunctions of the X server for me, possibly related to PTYs. For example, cat'ing a large file in a gnome terminal hangs the kernel for -minutes- in a loop of what looks like flush_to_ldisc/workqueue code, (some ftrace data in the quoted bits further down). ... Some more data: It -looks- like what happens is that the flush_to_ldisc work queue entry constantly re-queues itself (because the PTY is full ?) and the workqueue thread will basically loop forver calling it without ever scheduling, thus starving the consumer process that could have emptied the PTY." which is pretty much exactly the problem we fixed in a5660b41. Milton Miller pointed out the 'unsigned int' issue.

The detection of spurios interrupts is currently limited to first level handler. In force-threaded mode we never notice if the threaded irq does not feel responsible. This patch catches the return value of the threaded handler and forwards it to the spurious detector.

由 Youquan Song 提交于
There are no externally-visible changes with this. In the loop in the internal __domain_mapping() function, we simply detect if we are mapping: - size >= 2MiB, and - virtual address aligned to 2MiB, and - physical address aligned to 2MiB, and - on hardware that supports superpages. (and likewise for larger superpages). We automatically use a superpage for such mappings. We never have to worry about *breaking* superpages, since we trust that we will always *unmap* the same range that was mapped. So all we need to do is ensure that dma_pte_clear_range() will also cope with superpages. Adjust pfn_to_dma_pte() to take a superpage 'level' as an argument, so it can return a PTE at the appropriate level rather than always extending the page tables all the way down to level 1. Again, this is simplified by the fact that we should never encounter existing small pages when we're creating a mapping; any old mapping that used the same virtual range will have been entirely removed and its obsolete page tables freed. Provide an 'intel_iommu=sp_off' argument on the command line as a chicken bit. Not that it should ever be required. == The original commit seen in the iommu-2.6.git was Youquan's implementation (and completion) of my own half-baked code which I'd typed into an email. Followed by half a dozen subsequent 'fixes'. I've taken the unusual step of rewriting history and collapsing the original commits in order to keep the main history simpler, and make life easier for the people who are going to have to backport this to older kernels. And also so I can give it a more coherent commit comment which (hopefully) gives a better explanation of what's going on. The original sequence of commits leading to identical code was: Youquan Song (3): intel-iommu: super page support intel-iommu: Fix superpage alignment calculation error intel-iommu: Fix superpage level calculation error in dma_pfn_level_pte() David Woodhouse (4): intel-iommu: Precalculate superpage support for dmar_domain intel-iommu: Fix hardware_largepage_caps() intel-iommu: Fix inappropriate use of superpages in __domain_mapping() intel-iommu: Fix phys_pfn in __domain_mapping for sglist pages Signed-off-by: NYouquan Song <youquan.song@intel.com> Signed-off-by: NDavid Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com>

It was not a good idea to start dereferencing disk->queue from the fs sysfs strategy for displaying discard alignment. We ran into first a NULL pointer deref, and after fixing that we sometimes see unvalid disk->queue pointer values. Since discard is the only one of the bunch actually looking into the queue, just revert the change. This reverts commit 23ceb5b7. Conflicts: fs/partitions/check.c

Add an API that tells the other side that callbacks should be delayed until a lot of work has been done. Implement using the new event_idx feature. Note: it might seem advantageous to let the drivers ask for a callback after a specific capacity has been reached. However, as a single head can free many entries in the descriptor table, we don't really have a clue about capacity until get_buf is called. The API is the simplest to implement at the moment, we'll see what kind of hints drivers can pass when there's more than one user of the feature. Signed-off-by: NMichael S.

This patch changes it to reserve a fixed number - itself still chosen quite arbitrarily. Further testing might show if there is a better number to choose.

Thanks to the reviews and comments by Rafael, James, Mark and Andi. Here's version 2 of the patch incorporating your comments and also some update to my previous patch comments. I noticed that before entering idle state, the menu idle governor will look up the current pm_qos target value according to the list of qos requests received. This look up currently needs the acquisition of a lock to access the list of qos requests to find the qos target value, slowing down the entrance into idle state due to contention by multiple cpus to access this list. The contention is severe when there are a lot of cpus waking and going into idle. For example, for a simple workload that has 32 pair of processes ping ponging messages to each other, where 64 cpu cores are active in test system, I see the following profile with 37.82% of cpu cycles spent in contention of pm_qos_lock: - 37.82% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock_irqsave - _raw_spin_lock_irqsave - 95.65% pm_qos_request menu_select cpuidle_idle_call - cpu_idle 99.98% start_secondary A better approach will be to cache the updated pm_qos target value so reading it does not require lock acquisition as in the patch below. With this patch the contention for pm_qos_lock is removed and I saw a 2.2X increase in throughput for my message passing workload. cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: NTim Chen <tim.c.chen@linux.intel.com> Acked-by: NAndi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Acked-by: NJames Bottomley <James.Bottomley@suse.de> Acked-by: Nmark gross <markgross@thegnar.org> Signed-off-by: NLen Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

Some recent benchmarking on btrfs showed that a major scaling bottleneck on large systems on btrfs is currently the xattr lookup on every write. Why xattr lookup on every write I hear you ask? write wants to drop suid and security related xattrs that could set o capabilities for executables. To do that it currently looks up security.capability on EVERY write (even for non executables) to decide whether to drop it or not. In btrfs this causes an additional tree walk, hitting some per file system locks and quite bad scalability. In a simple read workload on a 8S system I saw over 90% CPU time in spinlocks related to that. Chris Mason tells me this is also a problem in ext4, where it hits the global mbcache lock. This patch adds a simple per inode to avoid this problem. We only do the lookup once per file and then if there is no xattr cache the decision. All xattr changes clear the flag. I also used the same flag to avoid the suid check, although that one is pretty cheap. A file system can also set this flag when it creates the inode, if it has a cheap way to do so. This is done for some common file systems in followon patches. With this patch a major part of the lock contention disappears for btrfs. Some testing on smaller systems didn't show significant performance changes, but at least it helps the larger systems and is generally more efficient. v2: Rename is_sgid. add file system helper.

TI-RPC introduces the capability of performing RPC over AF_LOCAL sockets. It uses this mainly for registering and unregistering local RPC services securely with the local rpcbind, but we could also conceivably use it as a generic upcall mechanism. This patch provides a client-side only implementation for the moment. We might also consider a server-side implementation to provide AF_LOCAL access to NLM (for statd downcalls, and such like). Autobinding is not supported on kernel AF_LOCAL transports at this time. Kernel ULPs must specify the pathname of the remote endpoint when an AF_LOCAL transport is created. rpcbind supports registering services available via AF_LOCAL, so the kernel could handle it with some adjustment to ->rpcbind and ->set_port. But we don't need this feature for doing upcalls via well-known named sockets. This has not been tested with ULPs that move a substantial amount of data. Thus, I can't attest to how robust the write_space and congestion management logic is.

Ingo Molnar noticed that we have this unnecessary ratelimit.h dependency in linux/net.h, which hid compilation problems from people doing builds only with CONFIG_NET enabled. Move this stuff out to a seperate net/net_ratelimit.h file and include that in the only two places where this thing is needed. Signed-off-by: NDavid S.

Tell the filesystem if we just updated timestamp (I_DIRTY_SYNC) or anything else, so that the filesystem can track internally if it needs to push out a transaction for fdatasync or not. This is just the prototype change with no user for it yet. I plan to push large XFS changes for the next merge window, and getting this trivial infrastructure in this window would help a lot to avoid tree interdependencies. Also remove incorrect comments that ->dirty_inode can't block. That has been changed a long time ago, and many implementations rely on it.
