      dm cache: fix a lock-inversion · 0596661f
      Joe Thornber 提交于
      When suspending a cache the policy is walked and the individual policy
      hints written to the metadata via sync_metadata().  This led to this
      lock order:
      
            policy->lock
              cache_metadata->root_lock
      
      When loading the cache target the policy is populated while the metadata
      lock is held:
      
            cache_metadata->root_lock
               policy->lock
      
      Fix this potential lock-inversion (ABBA) deadlock in sync_metadata() by
      ensuring the cache_metadata root_lock is held whilst all the hints are
      written, rather than being repeatedly locked while policy->lock is held
      (as was the case with each callout that policy_walk_mappings() made to
      the old save_hint() method).
      
      Found by turning on the CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING ("Lock debugging: prove
      locking correctness") build option.  However, it is not clear how the
      LOCKDEP reported paths can lead to a deadlock since the two paths,
      suspending a target and loading a target, never occur at the same time.
      But that doesn't mean the same lock-inversion couldn't have occurred
      elsewhere.

      dm thin: sort the per thin deferred bios using an rb_tree · 67324ea1
      Mike Snitzer 提交于
      A thin-pool will allocate blocks using FIFO order for all thin devices
      which share the thin-pool.  Because of this simplistic allocation the
      thin-pool's space can become fragmented quite easily; especially when
      multiple threads are requesting blocks in parallel.
      
      Sort each thin device's deferred_bio_list based on logical sector to
      help reduce fragmentation of the thin-pool's ondisk layout.
      
      The following tables illustrate the realized gains/potential offered by
      sorting each thin device's deferred_bio_list.  An "io size"-sized random
      read of the device would result in "seeks/io" fragments being read, with
      an average "distance/seek" between each fragment.
      
      Data was written to a single thin device using multiple threads via
      iozone (8 threads, 64K for both the block_size and io_size).
      
      unsorted:

      dm thin: use per thin device deferred bio lists · c140e1c4
      Mike Snitzer 提交于
      The thin-pool previously only had a single deferred_bios list that would
      collect bios for all thin devices in the pool.  Split this per-pool
      deferred_bios list out to per-thin deferred_bios_list -- doing so
      enables increased parallelism when processing deferred bios.  And now
      that each thin device has it's own deferred_bios_list we can sort all
      bios in the list using logical sector.  The requeue code in error
      handling path is also cleaner as a side-effect.

      vxlan: fix nonfunctional neigh_reduce() · 4b29dba9
      David Stevens 提交于
      The VXLAN neigh_reduce() code is completely non-functional since
      check-in. Specific errors:
      
      1) The original code drops all packets with a multicast destination address,
      	even though neighbor solicitations are sent to the solicited-node
      	address, a multicast address. The code after this check was never run.
      2) The neighbor table lookup used the IPv6 header destination, which is the
      	solicited node address, rather than the target address from the
      	neighbor solicitation. So neighbor lookups would always fail if it
      	got this far. Also for L3MISSes.
      3) The code calls ndisc_send_na(), which does a send on the tunnel device.
      	The context for neigh_reduce() is the transmit path, vxlan_xmit(),
      	where the host or a bridge-attached neighbor is trying to transmit
      	a neighbor solicitation. To respond to it, the tunnel endpoint needs
      	to do a *receive* of the appropriate neighbor advertisement. Doing a
      	send, would only try to send the advertisement, encapsulated, to the
      	remote destinations in the fdb -- hosts that definitely did not do the
      	corresponding solicitation.
      4) The code uses the tunnel endpoint IPv6 forwarding flag to determine the
      	isrouter flag in the advertisement. This has nothing to do with whether
      	or not the target is a router, and generally won't be set since the
      	tunnel endpoint is bridging, not routing, traffic.
      
      	The patch below creates a proxy neighbor advertisement to respond to
      neighbor solicitions as intended, providing proper IPv6 support for neighbor
      reduction.

      ====================
      net: davinci_emac: Fix interrupt requests and error handling
      
      since commit 6892b41d (Linux 3.11) the
      davinci_emac driver is broken. After doing ifconfig down, ifconfig up,
      requesting the interrupts for the driver fails. The interface remains dead
      until the board is rebooted.
      
      The first patch in this patchset reverts commit
      6892b41d partially and makes the driver
      useable again.
      
      During the work on the first patch, a number of bugs in the error handling
      of the driver's ndo_open code were found. The second patch fixes these bugs.
      
      I believe the first patch meets the rules for stable kernels, I therefore added
      the stable tag to this patch. The second patch is just cleanup, the code
      that is fixed by this patch is only executed in case of an error.

      net: davinci_emac: Fix rollback of emac_dev_open() · cd11cf50
      Christian Riesch 提交于
      If an error occurs during the initialization in emac_dev_open() (the
      driver's ndo_open function), interrupts, DMA descriptors etc. must be freed.
      The current rollback code is buggy in several ways.
      
        1) Freeing the interrupts. The current code will not free all interrupts
           that were requested by the driver. Furthermore,  the code tries to do a
           platform_get_resource(priv->pdev, IORESOURCE_IRQ, -1) in its last
           iteration.
      
           This patch fixes these bugs.
      
        2) Wrong order of err: and rollback: labels. If the setup of the PHY in
           the code fails, the interrupts that have been requested before are
           not freed:
      
              request irq
                      if requesting irqs fails, goto rollback
              setup phy
                      if phy setup fails, goto err
              return 0
      
           rollback:
              free irqs
           err:
      
           This patch brings the code into the correct order.
      
        3) The code calls napi_enable() and emac_int_enable(), but does not
           undo both in case of an error.
      
           This patch adds calls of emac_int_disable() and napi_disable() to the
           rollback code.
      
        4) RX DMA descriptors are not freed in case of an error: Right before
           requesting the irqs, the function creates DMA descriptors for the
           RX channel. These RX descriptors are never freed when we jump to either
           rollback or err.
      
           This patch adds code for freeing the DMA descriptors in the case of
           an initialization error. This required a modification of
           cpdma_ctrl_stop() in davinci_cpdma.c: We must be able to call this
           function to free the DMA descriptors while the DMA channels are
           in IDLE state (before cpdma_ctlr_start() was called).

      of free_irq is removed. But since interrupts are requested in
      emac_dev_open, doing ifconfig up/down on the board requests the
      interrupts again each time, causing devm_request_irq to fail. The
      interface is dead until the device is rebooted.
      
      This patch reverts said commit partially: It changes the driver back
      to use request_irq instead of devm_request_irq, puts free_irq back in
      place, but keeps the remaining changes of the original patch.

      sparc64: Make sure %pil interrupts are enabled during hypervisor yield. · cb3042d6
      David S. Miller 提交于
      In arch_cpu_idle() we must enable %pil based interrupts before
      potentially invoking the hypervisor cpu yield call.
      
      As per the Hypervisor API documentation for cpu_yield:
      
      	Interrupts which are blocked by some mechanism other that
      	pstate.ie (for example %pil) are not guaranteed to cause
      	a return from this service.
      
      It seems that only first generation Niagara chips are hit by this
      bug.  My best guess is that later chips implement this in hardware
      and wake up anyways from %pil events, whereas in first generation
      chips the yield is implemented completely in hypervisor code and
      requires %pil to be enabled in order to wake properly from this
      call.
