      liquidio: prevent rx queues from getting stalled · ccdd0b4c
      Raghu Vatsavayi 提交于
      This commit has fix for RX traffic issues when we stress test the driver
      with continuous ifconfig up/down under very high traffic conditions.
      
      Reason for the issue is that, in existing liquidio_stop function NAPI is
      disabled even before actual FW/HW interface is brought down via
      send_rx_ctrl_cmd(lio, 0). Between time frame of NAPI disable and actual
      interface down in firmware, firmware continuously enqueues rx traffic to
      host. When interrupt happens for new packets, host irq handler fails in
      scheduling NAPI as the NAPI is already disabled.
      
      After "ifconfig <iface> up", Host re-enables NAPI but cannot schedule it
      until it receives another Rx interrupt. Host never receives Rx interrupt as
      it never cleared the Rx interrupt it received during interface down
      operation. NIC Rx interrupt gets cleared only when Host processes queue and
      clears the queue counts. Above anomaly leads to other issues like packet
      overflow in FW/HW queues, backpressure.
      
      Fix:
      This commit fixes this issue by disabling NAPI only after informing
      firmware to stop queueing packets to host via send_rx_ctrl_cmd(lio, 0).
      send_rx_ctrl_cmd is not visible in the patch as it is already there in the
      code. The DOWN command also waits for any pending packets to be processed
      by NAPI so that the deadlock will not occur.

      liquidio: Prioritize control messages · 697fefc7
      Intiyaz Basha 提交于
      During heavy tx traffic, control messages (sent by liquidio driver to NIC
      firmware) sometimes do not get processed in a timely manner.  Reason is:
      the low-level metadata of control messages and that of egress network
      packets indicate that they have the same priority.
      
      Fix it by setting a higher priority for control messages through the new
      ctrl_qpg field in the oct_txpciq struct.  It is the NIC firmware that does
      the actual setting of priority by writing to the new ctrl_qpg field; the
      host driver treats that value as opaque and just assigns it to pki_ih3->qpg

      mm: remove __GFP_COLD · 453f85d4
      Mel Gorman 提交于
      As the page free path makes no distinction between cache hot and cold
      pages, there is no real useful ordering of pages in the free list that
      allocation requests can take advantage of.  Juding from the users of
      __GFP_COLD, it is likely that a number of them are the result of copying
      other sites instead of actually measuring the impact.  Remove the
      __GFP_COLD parameter which simplifies a number of paths in the page
      allocator.
      
      This is potentially controversial but bear in mind that the size of the
      per-cpu pagelists versus modern cache sizes means that the whole per-cpu
      list can often fit in the L3 cache.  Hence, there is only a potential
      benefit for microbenchmarks that alloc/free pages in a tight loop.  It's
      even worse when THP is taken into account which has little or no chance
      of getting a cache-hot page as the per-cpu list is bypassed and the
      zeroing of multiple pages will thrash the cache anyway.
      
      The truncate microbenchmarks are not shown as this patch affects the
      allocation path and not the free path.  A page fault microbenchmark was
      tested but it showed no sigificant difference which is not surprising
      given that the __GFP_COLD branches are a miniscule percentage of the
      fault path.

      License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license · b2441318
      Greg Kroah-Hartman 提交于
      Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
      makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
      
      By default all files without license information are under the default
      license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
      
      Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
      SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
      shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
      
      This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
      Philippe Ombredanne.
      
      How this work was done:
      
      Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
      the use cases:
       - file had no licensing information it it.
       - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
       - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
      
      Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
      where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
      had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
      
      The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
      a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
      output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
      tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
      base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
      
      The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
      assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
      results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
      to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
      immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
      
      Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
       - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
       - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
         lines of source
       - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
         lines).
      
      All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
      
      The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
      identifiers to apply.
      
       - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
         considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
         COPYING file license applied.
      
         For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
      
         SPDX license identifier                            # files
         ---------------------------------------------------|-------
         GPL-2.0                                              11139
      
         and resulted in the first patch in this series.
      
         If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
         Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:
      
         SPDX license identifier                            # files
         ---------------------------------------------------|-------
         GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930
      
         and resulted in the second patch in this series.
      
       - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
         of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
         any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
         it (per prior point).  Results summary:
      
         SPDX license identifier                            # files
         ---------------------------------------------------|------
         GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
         GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
         ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
         ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
         LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
         GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
         ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
         LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
         LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
         ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
         ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1
      
         and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
      
       - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
         the concluded license(s).
      
       - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
         license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
         licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
      
       - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
         resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
         which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
      
       - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
         confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
      
       - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
         the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
         in time.
      
      In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
      spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
      source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
      by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
      
      Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
      FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
      disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
      Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
      they are related.
      
      Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
      for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
      files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
      in about 15000 files.
      
      In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
      copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
      correct identifier.
      
      Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
      inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
      version early this week with:
       - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
         license ids and scores
       - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
         files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
       - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
         was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
         SPDX license was correct
      
      This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
      worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
      different types of files to be modified.
      
      These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
      parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
      format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
      based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
      distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
      comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
      generate the patches.
