It causes crash on system with lots of cards with MSI-X when irq_balancer enabled... The patches fixing it were both complex and fragile, according to Eric they were also doing quite dangerous things to the hardware. Instead we now have patches that solve this problem via static NUMA node mappings - not dynamic allocation and balancing. The patches are much simpler than this method but are still too large outside of the merge window, so we mark the dynamic balancer as broken for now, and queue up the new approach for v2.6.31.

[...] > > The only reason we migrate MSIs in interrupt context today is that there > wasn't infrastructure for support migration both in interrupt context > and outside of it. Yes. The idea here was to force the MSI migration to happen in process context. One of the patches in the series did disable_irq(dev->irq); irq_set_affinity(dev->irq, cpumask_of(dev->cpu)); enable_irq(dev->irq); with the above patch adding irq/manage code check for interrupt disabled and moving the interrupt in process context. IIRC, there was no IRQ_MOVE_PCNTXT when we were developing this HPET code and we ended up having this ugly hack. IRQ_MOVE_PCNTXT was there when we eventually submitted the patch upstream. But, looks like I did a blind rebasing instead of using IRQ_MOVE_PCNTXT in hpet MSI code. Below patch fixes this. i.e., revert commit 932775a4 and add PCNTXT to HPET MSI setup. Also removes copying of desc->affinity in generic code as set_affinity routines are doing it internally. Reported-by: N"Eric W.

Andrew explains: "OK, the acpi tree went and had conflicting changes merged into it after I'd written the patch and it appears that I incorrectly reverted part of 18b2646f while fixing the resulting rejects.

This is often because pat_init lacks a __cpuinit annotation or the annotation of pat_disable is wrong.

To simplify level irq migration in the presence of interrupt-remapping, Suresh used a virtual vector (io-apic pin number) to eliminate io-apic RTE modification. Level triggered interrupt will appear as an edge to the local apic cpu but still as level to the IO-APIC. So in addition to do the local apic EOI, it still needs to do IO-APIC directed EOI to clear the remote IRR bit in the IO-APIC RTE. Pls refer to Suresh's patch for more details (commit 0280f7c4). Now interrupt remapping is decoupled from x2apic, it also needs to do the directed EOI for apic. Otherwise, apic interrupts won't work correctly.

Impact: performance regression fix for s390 The adaptive spinning mutexes will not always do what one would expect on virtualized architectures like s390. Especially the cpu_relax() loop in mutex_spin_on_owner might hurt if the mutex holding cpu has been scheduled away by the hypervisor. We would end up in a cpu_relax() loop when there is no chance that the state of the mutex changes until the target cpu has been scheduled again by the hypervisor. For that reason we should change the default behaviour to no-spin on s390. We do have an instruction which allows to yield the current cpu in favour of a different target cpu. Also we have an instruction which allows us to figure out if the target cpu is physically backed. However we need to do some performance tests until we can come up with a solution that will do the right thing on s390.

The flexible array in the USBH platform data is not safe to copy. The compiler will not allocate any extra memory for the non-init platform data structure (in the *_devices.c files) since it isn't given any defaults at compile time. When the probe function attempts to address that array, it will actually attempt to access data in an adjacent structure. Since there are currently no (known) implementations of the at91 USBH IP with more than 2 vbus pins, I am capping the value at 2. If somebody tries to assign more, then the compiler will produce a warning.
