      mm: speculative page references · e286781d
      Nick Piggin 提交于
      If we can be sure that elevating the page_count on a pagecache page will
      pin it, we can speculatively run this operation, and subsequently check to
      see if we hit the right page rather than relying on holding a lock or
      otherwise pinning a reference to the page.
      
      This can be done if get_page/put_page behaves consistently throughout the
      whole tree (ie.  if we "get" the page after it has been used for something
      else, we must be able to free it with a put_page).
      
      Actually, there is a period where the count behaves differently: when the
      page is free or if it is a constituent page of a compound page.  We need
      an atomic_inc_not_zero operation to ensure we don't try to grab the page
      in either case.
      
      This patch introduces the core locking protocol to the pagecache (ie.
      adds page_cache_get_speculative, and tweaks some update-side code to make
      it work).
      
      Thanks to Hugh for pointing out an improvement to the algorithm setting
      page_count to zero when we have control of all references, in order to
      hold off speculative getters.

      dma-mapping: add the device argument to dma_mapping_error() · 8d8bb39b
      FUJITA Tomonori 提交于
      Add per-device dma_mapping_ops support for CONFIG_X86_64 as POWER
      architecture does:
      
      This enables us to cleanly fix the Calgary IOMMU issue that some devices
      are not behind the IOMMU (http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/5/8/423).
      
      I think that per-device dma_mapping_ops support would be also helpful for
      KVM people to support PCI passthrough but Andi thinks that this makes it
      difficult to support the PCI passthrough (see the above thread).  So I
      CC'ed this to KVM camp.  Comments are appreciated.
      
      A pointer to dma_mapping_ops to struct dev_archdata is added.  If the
      pointer is non NULL, DMA operations in asm/dma-mapping.h use it.  If it's
      NULL, the system-wide dma_ops pointer is used as before.
      
      If it's useful for KVM people, I plan to implement a mechanism to register
      a hook called when a new pci (or dma capable) device is created (it works
      with hot plugging).  It enables IOMMUs to set up an appropriate
      dma_mapping_ops per device.
      
      The major obstacle is that dma_mapping_error doesn't take a pointer to the
      device unlike other DMA operations.  So x86 can't have dma_mapping_ops per
      device.  Note all the POWER IOMMUs use the same dma_mapping_error function
      so this is not a problem for POWER but x86 IOMMUs use different
      dma_mapping_error functions.
      
      The first patch adds the device argument to dma_mapping_error.  The patch
      is trivial but large since it touches lots of drivers and dma-mapping.h in
      all the architecture.
      
      This patch:
      
      dma_mapping_error() doesn't take a pointer to the device unlike other DMA
      operations.  So we can't have dma_mapping_ops per device.
      
      Note that POWER already has dma_mapping_ops per device but all the POWER
      IOMMUs use the same dma_mapping_error function.  x86 IOMMUs use device
      argument.

      ibmveth: enable driver for CMO · 1096d63d
      Robert Jennings 提交于
      Enable ibmveth for Cooperative Memory Overcommitment (CMO).  For this driver
      it means calculating a desired amount of IO memory based on the current MTU
      and updating this value with the bus when MTU changes occur.  Because DMA
      mappings can fail, we have added a bounce buffer for temporary cases where
      the driver can not map IO memory for the buffer pool.
      
      The following changes are made to enable the driver for CMO:
       * DMA mapping errors will not result in error messages if entitlement has
         been exceeded and resources were not available.
       * DMA mapping errors are handled gracefully, ibmveth_replenish_buffer_pool()
         is corrected to check the return from dma_map_single and fail gracefully.
       * The driver will have a get_desired_dma function defined to function
         in a CMO environment.
       * When the MTU is changed, the driver will update the device IO entitlement

      virtio: Recycle unused recv buffer pages for large skbs in net driver · fb6813f4
      Rusty Russell 提交于
      If we hack the virtio_net driver to always allocate full-sized (64k+)
      skbuffs, the driver slows down (lguest numbers):
      
        Time to receive 1GB (small buffers): 10.85 seconds
        Time to receive 1GB (64k+ buffers): 24.75 seconds
      
      Of course, large buffers use up more space in the ring, so we increase
      that from 128 to 2048:
      
        Time to receive 1GB (64k+ buffers, 2k ring): 16.61 seconds
      
      If we recycle pages rather than using alloc_page/free_page:
      
        Time to receive 1GB (64k+ buffers, 2k ring, recycle pages): 10.81 seconds
      
      This demonstrates that with efficient allocation, we don't need to
      have a separate "small buffer" queue.

      virtio net: Allow receiving SG packets · 97402b96

      Finally this patch lets virtio_net receive GSO packets in addition
      to sending them.  This can definitely be optimised for the non-GSO
      case.  For comparison the Xen approach stores one page in each skb
      and uses subsequent skb's pages to construct an SG skb instead of
      preallocating the maximum amount of pages per skb.

      With this, may drop an skb and then later in the function discover that

      Currently we drop the skb in start_xmit() if we have a

      However, if we delay dropping it until we've stopped the
      queue and enabled the tx notification callback, then there
      is a chance space might become available for it.

      PAGE_ALIGN(): correctly handle 64-bit values on 32-bit architectures · 27ac792c
      Andrea Righi 提交于
      On 32-bit architectures PAGE_ALIGN() truncates 64-bit values to the 32-bit
      boundary. For example:
      
      	u64 val = PAGE_ALIGN(size);
      
      always returns a value < 4GB even if size is greater than 4GB.
      
      The problem resides in PAGE_MASK definition (from include/asm-x86/page.h for
      example):
      
      #define PAGE_SHIFT      12
      #define PAGE_SIZE       (_AC(1,UL) << PAGE_SHIFT)
      #define PAGE_MASK       (~(PAGE_SIZE-1))
      ...
      #define PAGE_ALIGN(addr)       (((addr)+PAGE_SIZE-1)&PAGE_MASK)
      
      The "~" is performed on a 32-bit value, so everything in "and" with
      PAGE_MASK greater than 4GB will be truncated to the 32-bit boundary.
      Using the ALIGN() macro seems to be the right way, because it uses
      typeof(addr) for the mask.
      
      Also move the PAGE_ALIGN() definitions out of include/asm-*/page.h in
      include/linux/mm.h.

      David Miller suggested to remove the call altogether: since in this
      callpah there's periodic calls to ->poll() anyway which will do
      e1000_clean_tx_irq() and will garbage-collect any finished TX ring
      descriptors.
