      lib/idr.c: Fix bug introduced by RCU fix · 711a49a0
      Manfred Spraul 提交于
      The last patch to lib/idr.c caused a bug if idr_get_new_above() was
      called on an empty idr.
      
      Usually, nodes stay on the same layer.  New layers are added to the top
      of the tree.
      
      The exception is idr_get_new_above() on an empty tree: In this case, the
      new root node is first added on layer 0, then moved upwards.  p->layer
      was not updated.
      
      As usual: You shall never rely on the source code comments, they will
      only mislead you.

      the new percpu_counter_sum_and_set() is racy against updates to the
      cpu-local accumulators on other CPUs.  Revert that change.
      
      This means that ext4 will be slow again.  But correct.

              percpu counter: clean up percpu_counter_sum_and_set()
      
      Before this patch we had the following:
      
      percpu_counter_sum(): return the percpu_counter's value
      
      percpu_counter_sum_and_set(): return the percpu_counter's value, copying
      that value into the central value and zeroing the per-cpu counters before
      returning.
      
      After this patch, percpu_counter_sum_and_set() has gone, and
      percpu_counter_sum() gets the old percpu_counter_sum_and_set()
      functionality.
      
      Problem is, as Eric points out, the old percpu_counter_sum_and_set()
      functionality was racy and wrong.  It zeroes out counters on "other" cpus,
      without holding any locks which will prevent races agaist updates from
      those other CPUS.
      
      This patch reverts 1f7c14c6.  This means
      that percpu_counter_sum_and_set() still has the race, but
      percpu_counter_sum() does not.
      
      Note that this is not a simple revert - ext4 has since started using
      percpu_counter_sum() for its dirty_blocks counter as well.
      
      Note that this revert patch changes percpu_counter_sum() semantics.
      
      Before the patch, a call to percpu_counter_sum() will bring the counter's
      central counter mostly up-to-date, so a following percpu_counter_read()
      will return a close value.
      
      After this patch, a call to percpu_counter_sum() will leave the counter's
      central accumulator unaltered, so a subsequent call to
      percpu_counter_read() can now return a significantly inaccurate result.
      
      If there is any code in the tree which was introduced after
      e8ced39d was merged, and which depends
      upon the new percpu_counter_sum() semantics, that code will break.

      swiotlb: use coherent_dma_mask in alloc_coherent · 1e74f300
      FUJITA Tomonori 提交于
      Impact: fix DMA buffer allocation coherency bug in certain configs
      
      This patch fixes swiotlb to use dev->coherent_dma_mask in
      swiotlb_alloc_coherent().
      
      coherent_dma_mask is a subset of dma_mask (equal to it most of
      the time), enumerating the address range that a given device
      is able to DMA to/from in a cache-coherent way.
      
      But currently, swiotlb uses dev->dma_mask in alloc_coherent()
      implicitly via address_needs_mapping(), but alloc_coherent is really
      supposed to use coherent_dma_mask.
      
      This bug could break drivers that uses smaller coherent_dma_mask than
      dma_mask (though the current code works for the majority that use the
      same mask for coherent_dma_mask and dma_mask).

      cpumask: introduce new API, without changing anything · 2d3854a3
      Rusty Russell 提交于
      Impact: introduce new APIs
      
      We want to deprecate cpumasks on the stack, as we are headed for
      gynormous numbers of CPUs.  Eventually, we want to head towards an
      undefined 'struct cpumask' so they can never be declared on stack.
      
      1) New cpumask functions which take pointers instead of copies.
         (cpus_* -> cpumask_*)
      
      2) Several new helpers to reduce requirements for temporary cpumasks
         (cpumask_first_and, cpumask_next_and, cpumask_any_and)
      
      3) Helpers for declaring cpumasks on or offstack for large NR_CPUS
         (cpumask_var_t, alloc_cpumask_var and free_cpumask_var)
      
      4) 'struct cpumask' for explicitness and to mark new-style code.
      
      5) Make iterator functions stop at nr_cpu_ids (a runtime constant),
         not NR_CPUS for time efficiency and for smaller dynamic allocations
         in future.
      
      6) cpumask_copy() so we can allocate less than a full cpumask eventually
         (for alloc_cpumask_var), and so we can eliminate the 'struct cpumask'
         definition eventually.
      
      7) work_on_cpu() helper for doing task on a CPU, rather than saving old
         cpumask for current thread and manipulating it.
      
      8) smp_call_function_many() which is smp_call_function_mask() except
         taking a cpumask pointer.
      
      Note that this patch simply introduces the new functions and leaves
      the obsolescent ones in place.  This is to simplify the transition
      patches.

      Driver core: fix 'dynamic_debug' cmd line parameter · 11332830
      Jason Baron 提交于
      In testing 2.6.28-rc1, I found that passing 'dynamic_printk' on the command
      line didn't activate the debug code. The problem is that dynamic_printk_setup()
      (which activates the debugging) is being called before dynamic_printk_init() is
      called (which initializes infrastructure). Fix this by setting setting the
      state to 'DYNAMIC_ENABLED_ALL' in dynamic_printk_setup(), which will also
      cause all subsequent modules to have debugging automatically started, which is
      probably the behavior we want.

      swiotlb: remove panic for alloc_coherent failure · a2b89b59
      FUJITA Tomonori 提交于
      swiotlb_alloc_coherent calls panic() when allocated swiotlb pages is
      not fit for a device's dma mask. However, alloc_coherent failure is
      not a disaster at all. AFAIK, none of other x86 and IA64 IOMMU
      implementations don't crash in case of alloc_coherent failure.
      
      There are some drivers that don't check alloc_coherent failure but not
      many (about ten and I've already started to fix some of
      them). alloc_coherent returns NULL in case of failure so it's likely
      that these guilty drivers crash immediately. So swiotlb doesn't need
      to call panic() just for them.

      [SCSI] lib: string_get_size(): don't hang on zero; no decimals on exact · a8659597
      H. Peter Anvin 提交于
      We would hang forever when passing a zero to string_get_size().
      Furthermore, string_get_size() would produce decimals on a value small
      enough to be exact.  Finally, a few formatting issues are inconsistent
      with standard SI style guidelines.
      
      - If the value is less than the divisor, skip the entire rounding
        step.  This prints out all small values including zero as integers,
        without decimals.
      - Add a space between the value and the symbol for the unit,
        consistent with standard SI practice.
      - Lower case k in kB since we are talking about powers of 10.
      - Finally, change "int" to "unsigned int" in one place to shut up a
        gcc warning when compiling the code out-of-kernel for testing.
