      netpoll: make ndo_poll_controller() optional · ac3d9dd0
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      As diagnosed by Song Liu, ndo_poll_controller() can
      be very dangerous on loaded hosts, since the cpu
      calling ndo_poll_controller() might steal all NAPI
      contexts (for all RX/TX queues of the NIC). This capture
      can last for unlimited amount of time, since one
      cpu is generally not able to drain all the queues under load.
      
      It seems that all networking drivers that do use NAPI
      for their TX completions, should not provide a ndo_poll_controller().
      
      NAPI drivers have netpoll support already handled
      in core networking stack, since netpoll_poll_dev()
      uses poll_napi(dev) to iterate through registered
      NAPI contexts for a device.
      
      This patch allows netpoll_poll_dev() to process NAPI
      contexts even for drivers not providing ndo_poll_controller(),
      allowing for following patches in NAPI drivers.
      
      Also we export netpoll_poll_dev() so that it can be called
      by bonding/team drivers in following patches.

      block: use nanosecond resolution for iostat · b57e99b4
      Omar Sandoval 提交于
      Klaus Kusche reported that the I/O busy time in /proc/diskstats was not
      updating properly on 4.18. This is because we started using ktime to
      track elapsed time, and we convert nanoseconds to jiffies when we update
      the partition counter. However, this gets rounded down, so any I/Os that
      take less than a jiffy are not accounted for. Previously in this case,
      the value of jiffies would sometimes increment while we were doing I/O,
      so at least some I/Os were accounted for.
      
      Let's convert the stats to use nanoseconds internally. We still report
      milliseconds as before, now more accurately than ever. The value is
      still truncated to 32 bits for backwards compatibility.
