SCSI Well-known logical units generally don't have any scsi driver associated with it which means no one will call scsi_autopm_put_device() on these wlun scsi devices and this would result in keeping the corresponding scsi device always active (hence LLD can't be suspended as well). Same exact problem can be seen for other scsi device representing normal logical unit whose driver is yet to be loaded. This patch fixes the above problem with this approach: - make the scsi_autopm_put_device call at the end of scsi_sysfs_add_sdev to make it balance out the get earlier in the function. - let drivers do paired get/put calls in their probe methods.

The SCSI specification requires that the second Command Data Byte should contain the LUN value in its high-order bits if the recipient device reports SCSI level 2 or below. Nevertheless, some USB mass-storage devices use those bits for other purposes in vendor-specific commands. Currently Linux has no way to send such commands, because the SCSI stack always overwrites the LUN bits. Testing shows that Windows 7 and XP do not store the LUN bits in the CDB when sending commands to a USB device. This doesn't matter if the device uses the Bulk-Only or UAS transports (which virtually all modern USB mass-storage devices do), as these have a separate mechanism for sending the LUN value. Therefore this patch introduces a flag in the Scsi_Host structure to inform the SCSI midlayer that a transport does not require the LUN bits to be stored in the CDB, and it makes usb-storage set this flag for all devices using the Bulk-Only transport. (UAS is handled by a separate driver, but it doesn't really matter because no SCSI-2 or lower device is at all likely to use UAS.) The patch also cleans up the code responsible for storing the LUN value by adding a bitflag to the scsi_device structure. The test for whether to stick the LUN value in the CDB can be made when the device is probed, and stored for future use rather than being made over and over in the fast path.

Commit 9226b5b4 ("vfs: avoid non-forwarding large load after small store in path lookup") made link_path_walk() always access the "hash_len" field as a single 64-bit entity, in order to avoid mixed size accesses to the members. However, what I didn't notice was that that effectively means that the whole "struct qstr this" is now basically redundant. We already explicitly track the "const char *name", and if we just use "u64 hash_len" instead of "long len", there is nothing else left of the "struct qstr". We do end up wanting the "struct qstr" if we have a filesystem with a "d_hash()" function, but that's a rare case, and we might as well then just squirrell away the name and hash_len at that point. End result: fewer live variables in the loop, a smaller stack frame, and better code generation. And we don't need to pass in pointers variables to helper functions any more, because the return value contains all the relevant information. So this removes more lines than it adds, and the source code is clearer too. Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

The performance regression that Josef Bacik reported in the pathname lookup (see commit 99d263d4 "vfs: fix bad hashing of dentries") made me look at performance stability of the dcache code, just to verify that the problem was actually fixed. That turned up a few other problems in this area. There are a few cases where we exit RCU lookup mode and go to the slow serializing case when we shouldn't, Al has fixed those and they'll come in with the next VFS pull. But my performance verification also shows that link_path_walk() turns out to have a very unfortunate 32-bit store of the length and hash of the name we look up, followed by a 64-bit read of the combined hash_len field. That screws up the processor store to load forwarding, causing an unnecessary hickup in this critical routine. It's caused by the ugly calling convention for the "hash_name()" function, and easily fixed by just making hash_name() fill in the whole 'struct qstr' rather than passing it a pointer to just the hash value. With that, the profile for this function looks much smoother. Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Josef Bacik found a performance regression between 3.2 and 3.10 and narrowed it down to commit bfcfaa77 ("vfs: use 'unsigned long' accesses for dcache name comparison and hashing"). He reports: "The test case is essentially for (i = 0; i < 1000000; i++) mkdir("a$i"); On xfs on a fio card this goes at about 20k dir/sec with 3.2, and 12k dir/sec with 3.10. This is because we spend waaaaay more time in __d_lookup on 3.10 than in 3.2. The new hashing function for strings is suboptimal for < sizeof(unsigned long) string names (and hell even > sizeof(unsigned long) string names that I've tested). I broke out the old hashing function and the new one into a userspace helper to get real numbers and this is what I'm getting: Old hash table had 1000000 entries, 0 dupes, 0 max dupes New hash table had 12628 entries, 987372 dupes, 900 max dupes We had 11400 buckets with a p50 of 30 dupes, p90 of 240 dupes, p99 of 567 dupes for the new hash My test does the hash, and then does the d_hash into a integer pointer array the same size as the dentry hash table on my system, and then just increments the value at the address we got to see how many entries we overlap with. As you can see the old hash function ended up with all 1 million entries in their own bucket, whereas the new one they are only distributed among ~12.5k buckets, which is why we're using so much more CPU in __d_lookup". The reason for this hash regression is two-fold: - On 64-bit architectures the down-mixing of the original 64-bit word-at-a-time hash into the final 32-bit hash value is very simplistic and suboptimal, and just adds the two 32-bit parts together. In particular, because there is no bit shuffling and the mixing boundary is also a byte boundary, similar character patterns in the low and high word easily end up just canceling each other out. - the old byte-at-a-time hash mixed each byte into the final hash as it hashed the path component name, resulting in the low bits of the hash generally being a good source of hash data. That is not true for the word-at-a-time case, and the hash data is distributed among all the bits. The fix is the same in both cases: do a better job of mixing the bits up and using as much of the hash data as possible. We already have the "hash_32|64()" functions to do that.

The hash_64() function historically does the multiply by the GOLDEN_RATIO_PRIME_64 number with explicit shifts and adds, because unlike the 32-bit case, gcc seems unable to turn the constant multiply into the more appropriate shift and adds when required. However, that means that we generate those shifts and adds even when the architecture has a fast multiplier, and could just do it better in hardware. Use the now-cleaned-up CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_FAST_MULTIPLIER (together with "is it a 64-bit architecture") to decide whether to use an integer multiply or the explicit sequence of shift/add instructions.

由 Linus Torvalds 提交于
It used to be an ad-hoc hack defined by the x86 version of <asm/bitops.h> that enabled a couple of library routines to know whether an integer multiply is faster than repeated shifts and additions. This just makes it use the real Kconfig system instead, and makes x86 (which was the only architecture that did this) select the option. NOTE! Even for x86, this really is kind of wrong. If we cared, we would probably not enable this for builds optimized for netburst (P4), where shifts-and-adds are generally faster than multiplies. This patch does *not* change that kind of logic, though, it is purely a syntactic change with no code changes. This was triggered by the fact that we have other places that really want to know "do I want to expand multiples by constants by hand or not", particularly the hash generation code.

Avoids sending a signal to alarm timers created with sigev_notify set to SIGEV_NONE by checking for that special case in the timeout callback. The regular posix timers avoid sending signals to SIGEV_NONE timers by not scheduling any callbacks for them in the first place. Although it would be possible to do something similar for alarm timers, it's simpler to handle this as a special case in the timeout. Prior to this patch, the alarm timer would ignore the sigev_notify value and try to deliver signals to the process anyway. Even worse, the sanity check for the value of sigev_signo is skipped when SIGEV_NONE was specified, so the signal number could be bogus. If sigev_signo was an unitialized value (as it often would be if SIGEV_NONE is used), then it's hard to predict which signal will be sent.

timeval_to_jiffies tried to round a timeval up to an integral number of jiffies, but the logic for doing so was incorrect: intervals corresponding to exactly N jiffies would become N+1. This manifested itself particularly repeatedly stopping/starting an itimer: setitimer(ITIMER_PROF, &val, NULL); setitimer(ITIMER_PROF, NULL, &val); would add a full tick to val, _even if it was exactly representable in terms of jiffies_ (say, the result of a previous rounding.) Doing this repeatedly would cause unbounded growth in val. So fix the math. Here's what was wrong with the conversion: we essentially computed (eliding seconds) jiffies = usec * (NSEC_PER_USEC/TICK_NSEC) by using scaling arithmetic, which took the best approximation of NSEC_PER_USEC/TICK_NSEC with denominator of 2^USEC_JIFFIE_SC = x/(2^USEC_JIFFIE_SC), and computed: jiffies = (usec * x) >> USEC_JIFFIE_SC and rounded this calculation up in the intermediate form (since we can't necessarily exactly represent TICK_NSEC in usec.) But the scaling arithmetic is a (very slight) *over*approximation of the true value; that is, instead of dividing by (1 usec/ 1 jiffie), we effectively divided by (1 usec/1 jiffie)-epsilon (rounding down). This would normally be fine, but we want to round timeouts up, and we did so by adding 2^USEC_JIFFIE_SC - 1 before the shift; this would be fine if our division was exact, but dividing this by the slightly smaller factor was equivalent to adding just _over_ 1 to the final result (instead of just _under_ 1, as desired.) In particular, with HZ=1000, we consistently computed that 10000 usec was 11 jiffies; the same was true for any exact multiple of TICK_NSEC. We could possibly still round in the intermediate form, adding something less than 2^USEC_JIFFIE_SC - 1, but easier still is to convert usec->nsec, round in nanoseconds, and then convert using time*spec*_to_jiffies. This adds one constant multiplication, and is not observably slower in microbenchmarks on recent x86 hardware. Tested: the following program: int main() { struct itimerval zero = {{0, 0}, {0, 0}}; /* Initially set to 10 ms. */ struct itimerval initial = zero; initial.it_interval.tv_usec = 10000; setitimer(ITIMER_PROF, &initial, NULL); /* Save and restore several times. */ for (size_t i = 0; i < 10; ++i) { struct itimerval prev; setitimer(ITIMER_PROF, &zero, &prev); /* on old kernels, this goes up by TICK_USEC every iteration */ printf("previous value: %ld %ld %ld %ld\n", prev.it_interval.tv_sec, prev.it_interval.tv_usec, prev.it_value.tv_sec, prev.it_value.tv_usec); setitimer(ITIMER_PROF, &prev, NULL); } return 0; } Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com> Cc: Paul Turner <pjt@google.com> Cc: Richard Cochran <richardcochran@gmail.com> Cc: Prarit Bhargava <prarit@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: NPaul Turner <pjt@google.com> Reported-by: NAaron Jacobs <jacobsa@google.com> Signed-off-by: NAndrew Hunter <ahh@google.com> [jstultz: Tweaked to apply to 3.17-rc] Signed-off-by: NJohn Stultz <john.stultz@linaro.org>

futex_wait_requeue_pi() calls futex_wait_setup(). If futex_wait_setup() succeeds it returns with hb->lock held and preemption disabled. Now the sanity check after this does: if (match_futex(&q.key, &key2)) { ret = -EINVAL; goto out_put_keys; } which releases the keys but does not release hb->lock. So we happily return to user space with hb->lock held and therefor preemption disabled. Unlock hb->lock before taking the exit route.
