The iommu=group_mf is really no longer needed with the addition of ACS support in IOMMU drivers creating groups. Most multifunction devices will now be grouped already. If a device has gone to the trouble of exposing ACS, trust that it works. We can use the device specific ACS function for fixing devices we trust individually. This largely reverts bcb71abe.

IOMMU device groups are currently a rather vague associative notion with assembly required by the user or user level driver provider to do anything useful. This patch intends to grow the IOMMU group concept into something a bit more consumable. To do this, we first create an object representing the group, struct iommu_group. This structure is allocated (iommu_group_alloc) and filled (iommu_group_add_device) by the iommu driver. The iommu driver is free to add devices to the group using it's own set of policies. This allows inclusion of devices based on physical hardware or topology limitations of the platform, as well as soft requirements, such as multi-function trust levels or peer-to-peer protection of the interconnects. Each device may only belong to a single iommu group, which is linked from struct device.iommu_group. IOMMU groups are maintained using kobject reference counting, allowing for automatic removal of empty, unreferenced groups. It is the responsibility of the iommu driver to remove devices from the group (iommu_group_remove_device). IOMMU groups also include a userspace representation in sysfs under /sys/kernel/iommu_groups. When allocated, each group is given a dynamically assign ID (int). The ID is managed by the core IOMMU group code to support multiple heterogeneous iommu drivers, which could potentially collide in group naming/numbering. This also keeps group IDs to small, easily managed values. A directory is created under /sys/kernel/iommu_groups for each group. A further subdirectory named "devices" contains links to each device within the group. The iommu_group file in the device's sysfs directory, which formerly contained a group number when read, is now a link to the iommu group. Example: $ ls -l /sys/kernel/iommu_groups/26/devices/ total 0 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 0 Apr 17 12:57 0000:00:1e.0 -> ../../../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1e.0 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 0 Apr 17 12:57 0000:06:0d.0 -> ../../../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1e.0/0000:06:0d.0 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 0 Apr 17 12:57 0000:06:0d.1 -> ../../../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1e.0/0000:06:0d.1 $ ls -l /sys/kernel/iommu_groups/26/devices/*/iommu_group [truncating perms/owner/timestamp] /sys/kernel/iommu_groups/26/devices/0000:00:1e.0/iommu_group -> ../../../kernel/iommu_groups/26 /sys/kernel/iommu_groups/26/devices/0000:06:0d.0/iommu_group -> ../../../../kernel/iommu_groups/26 /sys/kernel/iommu_groups/26/devices/0000:06:0d.1/iommu_group -> ../../../../kernel/iommu_groups/26 Groups also include several exported functions for use by user level driver providers, for example VFIO. These include: iommu_group_get(): Acquires a reference to a group from a device iommu_group_put(): Releases reference iommu_group_for_each_dev(): Iterates over group devices using callback iommu_group_[un]register_notifier(): Allows notification of device add and remove operations relevant to the group iommu_group_id(): Return the group number This patch also extends the IOMMU API to allow attaching groups to domains. This is currently a simple wrapper for iterating through devices within a group, but it's expected that the IOMMU API may eventually make groups a more integral part of domains. Groups intentionally do not try to manage group ownership. A user level driver provider must independently acquire ownership for each device within a group before making use of the group as a whole. This may change in the future if group usage becomes more pervasive across both DMA and IOMMU ops. Groups intentionally do not provide a mechanism for driver locking or otherwise manipulating driver matching/probing of devices within the group. Such interfaces are generic to devices and beyond the scope of IOMMU groups. If implemented, user level providers have ready access via iommu_group_for_each_dev and group notifiers. iommu_device_group() is removed here as it has no users. The replacement is: group = iommu_group_get(dev); id = iommu_group_id(group); iommu_group_put(group); AMD-Vi & Intel VT-d support re-added in following patches.

This patch implements two new messages that can be sent to the thin pool target allowing it to take a snapshot of the _metadata_. This, read-only snapshot can be accessed by userland, concurrently with the live target. Only one metadata snapshot can be held at a time. The pool's status line will give the block location for the current msnap. Since version 0.1.5 of the userland thin provisioning tools, the thin_dump program displays the msnap as follows: thin_dump -m <msnap root> <metadata dev> Available here: https://github.com/jthornber/thin-provisioning-tools Now that userland can access the metadata we can do various things that have traditionally been kernel side tasks: i) Incremental backups. By using metadata snapshots we can work out what blocks have changed over time. Combined with data snapshots we can ensure the data doesn't change while we back it up. A short proof of concept script can be found here: https://github.com/jthornber/thinp-test-suite/blob/master/incremental_backup_example.rb ii) Migration of thin devices from one pool to another. iii) Merging snapshots back into an external origin. iv) Asyncronous replication.

Btrfs has to make sure we have space to allocate new blocks in order to modify the inode, so updating time can fail. We've gotten around this by having our own file_update_time but this is kind of a pain, and Christoph has indicated he would like to make xfs do something different with atime updates. So introduce ->update_time, where we will deal with i_version an a/m/c time updates and indicate which changes need to be made. The normal version just does what it has always done, updates the time and marks the inode dirty, and then filesystems can choose to do something different. I've gone through all of the users of file_update_time and made them check for errors with the exception of the fault code since it's complicated and I wasn't quite sure what to do there, also Jan is going to be pushing the file time updates into page_mkwrite for those who have it so that should satisfy btrfs and make it not a big deal to check the file_update_time() return code in the generic fault path.

So instead of walking over all pids in the system (creating one big process tree in memory, just to figure out which children a task has) -- we add explicit /proc/<pid>/task/<tid>/children entry, because the kernel already has this kind of information but it is not yet exported.

This made large side effect.

Doug Ledford propsed to switch back it to static hard coded value. However it also has a compatibility problem. Some applications might started depend on the default value is tunable.

由 Konstantin Khlebnikov 提交于
This is an implementation of Andrew's proposal to extend the pagemap file bits to report what is missing about tasks' working set. The problem with the working set detection is multilateral. In the criu (checkpoint/restore) project we dump the tasks' memory into image files and to do it properly we need to detect which pages inside mappings are really in use. The mincore syscall I though could help with this did not. First, it doesn't report swapped pages, thus we cannot find out which parts of anonymous mappings to dump. Next, it does report pages from page cache as present even if they are not mapped, and it doesn't make that has not been cow-ed. Note, that issue with swap pages is critical -- we must dump swap pages to image file. But the issues with file pages are optimization -- we can take all file pages to image, this would be correct, but if we know that a page is not mapped or not cow-ed, we can remove them from dump file. The dump would still be self-consistent, though significantly smaller in size (up to 10 times smaller on real apps). Andrew noticed, that the proc pagemap file solved 2 of 3 above issues -- it reports whether a page is present or swapped and it doesn't report not mapped page cache pages. But, it doesn't distinguish cow-ed file pages from not cow-ed. I would like to make the last unused bit in this file to report whether the page mapped into respective pte is PageAnon or not.

If a driver's watchdog_device struct is part of a dynamically allocated struct (which it often will be), merely locking the module is not enough, even with a drivers module locked, the driver can be unbound from the device, examples: 1) The root user can unbind it through sysfd 2) The i2c bus master driver being unloaded for an i2c watchdog I will gladly admit that these are corner cases, but we still need to handle them correctly. The fix for this consists of 2 parts: 1) Add ref / unref operations, so that the driver can refcount the struct holding the watchdog_device struct and delay freeing it until any open filehandles referring to it are closed 2) Most driver operations will do IO on the device and the driver should not do any IO on the device after it has been unbound. Rather then letting each driver deal with this internally, it is better to ensure at the watchdog core level that no operations (other then unref) will get called after the driver has called watchdog_unregister_device(). This actually is the bulk of this patch. Signed-off-by: NHans de Goede <hdegoede@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: NWim Van Sebroeck <wim@iguana.be>

This patch fixes some potential multithreading issues, despite only allowing one process to open the /dev/watchdog device, we can still get called multiple times at the same time, since a program could be using thread, or could share the fd after a fork. This causes 2 potential problems: 1) watchdog_start / open do an unlocked test_n_set / test_n_clear, if these 2 race, the watchdog could be stopped while the active bit indicates it is running or visa versa. 2) Most watchdog_dev drivers probably assume that only one watchdog-op will get called at a time, this is not necessary true atm.

The leds timer trigger does not currently have an interface to activate a one shot timer. The current support allows for setting two timers, one for specifying how long a state to be on, and the second for how long the state to be off. The delay_on value specifies the time period an LED should stay in on state, followed by a delay_off value that specifies how long the LED should stay in off state. The on and off cycle repeats until the trigger gets deactivated. There is no provision for one time activation to implement features that require an on or off state to be held just once and then stay in the original state forever. Without one shot timer interface, user space can still use timer trigger to set a timer to hold a state, however when user space application crashes or goes away without deactivating the timer, the hardware will be left in that state permanently. As a specific example of this use-case, let's look at vibrate feature on phones. Vibrate function on phones is implemented using PWM pins on SoC or PMIC. There is a need to activate one shot timer to control the vibrate feature, to prevent user space crashes leaving the phone in vibrate mode permanently causing the battery to drain. This trigger exports three properties, activate, state, and duration When transient trigger is activated these properties are set to default values. - duration allows setting timer value in msecs. The initial value is 0. - activate allows activating and deactivating the timer specified by duration as needed. The initial and default value is 0. This will allow duration to be set after trigger activation. - state allows user to specify a transient state to be held for the specified duration.

Presently, at removal of cgroup, ->pre_destroy() is called and moves charges to the parent cgroup. A major reason for returning -EBUSY from ->pre_destroy() is that the 'moving' hits the parent's resource limitation. It happens only when use_hierarchy=0. Considering use_hierarchy=0, all cgroups should be flat. So, no one cannot justify moving charges to parent...parent and children are in flat configuration, not hierarchical. This patch modifes the code to move charges to the root cgroup at rmdir/force_empty if use_hierarchy==0. This will much simplify rmdir() and reduce error in ->pre_destroy.

This patch changes memcg's behavior at task_move(). At task_move(), the kernel scans a task's page table and move the changes for mapped pages from source cgroup to target cgroup. There has been a bug at handling shared anonymous pages for a long time. Before patch: - The spec says 'shared anonymous pages are not moved.' - The implementation was 'shared anonymoys pages may be moved'. If page_mapcount <=2, shared anonymous pages's charge were moved. After patch: - The spec says 'all anonymous pages are moved'. - The implementation is 'all anonymous pages are moved'. Considering usage of memcg, this will not affect user's experience. 'shared anonymous' pages only exists between a tree of processes which don't do exec(). Moving one of process without exec() seems not sane. For example, libcgroup will not be affected by this change. (Anyway, no one noticed the implementation for a long time...) Below is a discussion log: - current spec/implementation are complex - Now, shared file caches are moved - It adds unclear check as page_mapcount(). To do correct check, we should check swap users, etc. - No one notice this implementation behavior. So, no one get benefit from the design. - In general, once task is moved to a cgroup for running, it will not be moved.... - Finally, we have control knob as memory.move_charge_at_immigrate. Here is a patch to allow moving shared pages, completely. This makes memcg simpler and fix current broken code.

Remove vmtruncate_range(), and remove the truncate_range method from struct inode_operations: only tmpfs ever supported it, and tmpfs has now converted over to using the fallocate method of file_operations. Update Documentation accordingly, adding (setlease and) fallocate lines. And while we're in mm.h, remove duplicate declarations of shmem_lock() and shmem_file_setup(): everyone is now using the ones in shmem_fs.h.

Compared to Rob Clark's RFC I've ditched the prepare/finish hooks and corresponding ioctls on the dma_buf file. The major reason for that is that many people seem to be under the impression that this is also for synchronization with outstanding asynchronous processsing. I'm pretty massively opposed to this because: - It boils down reinventing a new rather general-purpose userspace synchronization interface. If we look at things like futexes, this is hard to get right. - Furthermore a lot of kernel code has to interact with this synchronization primitive. This smells a look like the dri1 hw_lock, a horror show I prefer not to reinvent. - Even more fun is that multiple different subsystems would interact here, so we have plenty of opportunities to create funny deadlock scenarios. I think synchronization is a wholesale different problem from data sharing and should be tackled as an orthogonal problem. Now we could demand that prepare/finish may only ensure cache coherency (as Rob intended), but that runs up into the next problem: We not only need mmap support to facilitate sw-only processing nodes in a pipeline (without jumping through hoops by importing the dma_buf into some sw-access only importer), which allows for a nicer ION->dma-buf upgrade path for existing Android userspace. We also need mmap support for existing importing subsystems to support existing userspace libraries. And a loot of these subsystems are expected to export coherent userspace mappings. So prepare/finish can only ever be optional and the exporter /needs/ to support coherent mappings. Given that mmap access is always somewhat fallback-y in nature I've decided to drop this optimization, instead of just making it optional. If we demonstrate a clear need for this, supported by benchmark results, we can always add it in again later as an optional extension. Other differences compared to Rob's RFC is the above mentioned support for mapping a dma-buf through facilities provided by the importer. Which results in mmap support no longer being optional. Note that this dma-buf mmap patch does _not_ support every possible insanity an existing subsystem could pull of with mmap: Because it does not allow to intercept pagefaults and shoot down ptes importing subsystems can't add some magic of their own at these points (e.g. to automatically synchronize with outstanding rendering or set up some special resources). I've done a cursory read through a few mmap implementions of various subsytems and I'm hopeful that we can avoid this (and the complexity it'd bring with it). Additonally I've extended the documentation a bit to explain the hows and whys of this mmap extension. In case we ever want to add support for explicitly cache maneged userspace mmap with a prepare/finish ioctl pair, we could specify that userspace needs to mmap a different part of the dma_buf, e.g. the range starting at dma_buf->size up to dma_buf->size*2. This works because the size of a dma_buf is invariant over it's lifetime. The exporter would obviously need to fall back to coherent mappings for both ranges if a legacy clients maps the coherent range and the architecture cannot suppor conflicting caching policies. Also, this would obviously be optional and userspace needs to be able to fall back to coherent mappings. v2: - Spelling fixes from Rob Clark. - Compile fix for !DMA_BUF from Rob Clark. - Extend commit message to explain how explicitly cache managed mmap support could be added later. - Extend the documentation with implementations notes for exporters that need to manually fake coherency. v3: - dma_buf pointer initialization goof-up noticed by Rebecca Schultz Zavin.

Let the user decide whether power consumption or jitter is the more important consideration for their machines. Quoting removal commit af5ab277: "Historically, Linux has tried to make the regular timer tick on the various CPUs not happen at the same time, to avoid contention on xtime_lock. Nowadays, with the tickless kernel, this contention no longer happens since time keeping and updating are done differently. In addition, this skew is actually hurting power consumption in a measurable way on many-core systems." Problems: - Contrary to the above, systems do encounter contention on both xtime_lock and RCU structure locks when the tick is synchronized. - Moderate sized RT systems suffer intolerable jitter due to the tick being synchronized. - SGI reports the same for their large systems. - Fully utilized systems reap no power saving benefit from skew removal, but do suffer from resulting induced lock contention. - 0209f649 rcu: limit rcu_node leaf-level fanout This patch was born to combat lock contention which testing showed to have been _induced by_ skew removal. Skew the tick, contention disappeared virtually completely.
