      net: dev_weight: TX/RX orthogonality · 3d48b53f
      由 Matthias Tafelmeier 提交于 
      Oftenly, introducing side effects on packet processing on the other half
of the stack by adjusting one of TX/RX via sysctl is not desirable.
There are cases of demand for asymmetric, orthogonal configurability.

This holds true especially for nodes where RPS for RFS usage on top is
configured and therefore use the 'old dev_weight'. This is quite a
common base configuration setup nowadays, even with NICs of superior processing
support (e.g. aRFS).

A good example use case are nodes acting as noSQL data bases with a
large number of tiny requests and rather fewer but large packets as responses.
It's affordable to have large budget and rx dev_weights for the
requests. But as a side effect having this large a number on TX
processed in one run can overwhelm drivers.

This patch therefore introduces an independent configurability via sysctl to
userland.

      net/mlx4_core: Fix raw qp flow steering rules under SRIOV · 10b1c04e
      由 Jack Morgenstein 提交于 
      Demoting simple flow steering rule priority (for DPDK) was achieved by
wrapping FW commands MLX4_QP_FLOW_STEERING_ATTACH/DETACH for the PF
as well, and forcing the priority to MLX4_DOMAIN_NIC in the wrapper
function for the PF and all VFs.

In function mlx4_ib_create_flow(), this change caused the main rule
creation for the PF to be wrapped, while it left the associated
tunnel steering rule creation unwrapped for the PF.

This mismatch caused rule deletion failures in mlx4_ib_destroy_flow()
for the PF when the detach wrapper function did not find the associated
tunnel-steering rule (since creation of that rule for the PF did not
go through the wrapper function).

Fix this by setting MLX4_QP_FLOW_STEERING_ATTACH/DETACH to be "native"
(so that the PF invocation does not go through the wrapper), and perform
the required priority demotion for the PF in the mlx4_ib_create_flow()
code path.

      mm: optimize PageWaiters bit use for unlock_page() · b91e1302
      由 Linus Torvalds 提交于 
      In commit 62906027 ("mm: add PageWaiters indicating tasks are
waiting for a page bit") Nick Piggin made our page locking no longer
unconditionally touch the hashed page waitqueue, which not only helps
performance in general, but is particularly helpful on NUMA machines
where the hashed wait queues can bounce around a lot.

However, the "clear lock bit atomically and then test the waiters bit"
sequence turns out to be much more expensive than it needs to be,
because you get a nasty stall when trying to access the same word that
just got updated atomically.

On architectures where locking is done with LL/SC, this would be trivial
to fix with a new primitive that clears one bit and tests another
atomically, but that ends up not working on x86, where the only atomic
operations that return the result end up being cmpxchg and xadd.  The
atomic bit operations return the old value of the same bit we changed,
not the value of an unrelated bit.

On x86, we could put the lock bit in the high bit of the byte, and use
"xadd" with that bit (where the overflow ends up not touching other
bits), and look at the other bits of the result.  However, an even
simpler model is to just use a regular atomic "and" to clear the lock
bit, and then the sign bit in eflags will indicate the resulting state
of the unrelated bit #7.

So by moving the PageWaiters bit up to bit #7, we can atomically clear
the lock bit and test the waiters bit on x86 too.  And architectures
with LL/SC (which is all the usual RISC suspects), the particular bit
doesn't matter, so they are fine with this approach too.

This avoids the extra access to the same atomic word, and thus avoids
the costly stall at page unlock time.

The only downside is that the interface ends up being a bit odd and
specialized: clear a bit in a byte, and test the sign bit.  Nick doesn't
love the resulting name of the new primitive, but I'd rather make the
name be descriptive and very clear about the limitation imposed by
trying to work across all relevant architectures than make it be some
generic thing that doesn't make the odd semantics explicit.

So this introduces the new architecture primitive

    clear_bit_unlock_is_negative_byte();

and adds the trivial implementation for x86.  We have a generic
non-optimized fallback (that just does a "clear_bit()"+"test_bit(7)"
combination) which can be overridden by any architecture that can do
better.  According to Nick, Power has the same hickup x86 has, for
example, but some other architectures may not even care.

All these optimizations mean that my page locking stress-test (which is
just executing a lot of small short-lived shell scripts: "make test" in
the git source tree) no longer makes our page locking look horribly bad.
Before all these optimizations, just the unlock_page() costs were just
over 3% of all CPU overhead on "make test".  After this, it's down to
0.66%, so just a quarter of the cost it used to be.

(The difference on NUMA is bigger, but there this micro-optimization is
likely less noticeable, since the big issue on NUMA was not the accesses
to 'struct page', but the waitqueue accesses that were already removed
by Nick's earlier commit).

      mm: Invalidate DAX radix tree entries only if appropriate · c6dcf52c
      由 Jan Kara 提交于 
      Currently invalidate_inode_pages2_range() and invalidate_mapping_pages()
just delete all exceptional radix tree entries they find. For DAX this
is not desirable as we track cache dirtiness in these entries and when
they are evicted, we may not flush caches although it is necessary. This
can for example manifest when we write to the same block both via mmap
and via write(2) (to different offsets) and fsync(2) then does not
properly flush CPU caches when modification via write(2) was the last
one.

Create appropriate DAX functions to handle invalidation of DAX entries
for invalidate_inode_pages2_range() and invalidate_mapping_pages() and
wire them up into the corresponding mm functions.

      mm: add PageWaiters indicating tasks are waiting for a page bit · 62906027
      由 Nicholas Piggin 提交于 
      Add a new page flag, PageWaiters, to indicate the page waitqueue has
tasks waiting. This can be tested rather than testing waitqueue_active
which requires another cacheline load.

This bit is always set when the page has tasks on page_waitqueue(page),
and is set and cleared under the waitqueue lock. It may be set when
there are no tasks on the waitqueue, which will cause a harmless extra
wakeup check that will clears the bit.

The generic bit-waitqueue infrastructure is no longer used for pages.
Instead, waitqueues are used directly with a custom key type. The
generic code was not flexible enough to have PageWaiters manipulation
under the waitqueue lock (which simplifies concurrency).

This improves the performance of page lock intensive microbenchmarks by
2-3%.

Putting two bits in the same word opens the opportunity to remove the
memory barrier between clearing the lock bit and testing the waiters
bit, after some work on the arch primitives (e.g., ensuring memory
operand widths match and cover both bits).

      ktime_set(S,N) was required for the timespec storage type and is still
useful for situations where a Seconds and Nanoseconds part of a time value
needs to be converted. For anything where the Seconds argument is 0, this
is pointless and can be replaced with a simple assignment.

      ktime: Get rid of the union · 2456e855
      由 Thomas Gleixner 提交于 
      ktime is a union because the initial implementation stored the time in
scalar nanoseconds on 64 bit machine and in a endianess optimized timespec
variant for 32bit machines. The Y2038 cleanup removed the timespec variant
and switched everything to scalar nanoseconds. The union remained, but
become completely pointless.

Get rid of the union and just keep ktime_t as simple typedef of type s64.

The conversion was done with coccinelle and some manual mopping up.
