      macvtap: Limit packet queue length · 8a35747a
      Herbert Xu 提交于
      Mark Wagner reported OOM symptoms when sending UDP traffic over
      a macvtap link to a kvm receiver.
      
      This appears to be caused by the fact that macvtap packet queues
      are unlimited in length.  This means that if the receiver can't
      keep up with the rate of flow, then we will hit OOM. Of course
      it gets worse if the OOM killer then decides to kill the receiver.
      
      This patch imposes a cap on the packet queue length, in the same
      way as the tuntap driver, using the device TX queue length.
      
      Please note that macvtap currently has no way of giving congestion
      notification, that means the software device TX queue cannot be
      used and packets will always be dropped once the macvtap driver
      queue fills up.
      
      This shouldn't be a great problem for the scenario where macvtap
      is used to feed a kvm receiver, as the traffic is most likely
      external in origin so congestion notification can't be applied
      anyway.
      
      Of course, if anybody decides to complain about guest-to-guest
      UDP packet loss down the track, then we may have to revisit this.
      
      Incidentally, this patch also fixes a real memory leak when
      macvtap_get_queue fails.
      
      Chris Wright noticed that for this patch to work, we need a
      non-zero TX queue length.  This patch includes his work to change
      the default macvtap TX queue length to 500.

      mm: add context argument to shrinker callback · 7f8275d0
      Dave Chinner 提交于
      The current shrinker implementation requires the registered callback
      to have global state to work from. This makes it difficult to shrink
      caches that are not global (e.g. per-filesystem caches). Pass the shrinker
      structure to the callback so that users can embed the shrinker structure
      in the context the shrinker needs to operate on and get back to it in the
      callback via container_of().

      PCI: fall back to original BIOS BAR addresses · 58c84eda
      Bjorn Helgaas 提交于
      If we fail to assign resources to a PCI BAR, this patch makes us try the
      original address from BIOS rather than leaving it disabled.
      
      Linux tries to make sure all PCI device BARs are inside the upstream
      PCI host bridge or P2P bridge apertures, reassigning BARs if necessary.
      Windows does similar reassignment.
      
      Before this patch, if we could not move a BAR into an aperture, we left
      the resource unassigned, i.e., at address zero.  Windows leaves such BARs
      at the original BIOS addresses, and this patch makes Linux do the same.
      
      This is a bit ugly because we disable the resource long before we try to
      reassign it, so we have to keep track of the BIOS BAR address somewhere.
      For lack of a better place, I put it in the struct pci_dev.
      
      I think it would be cleaner to attempt the assignment immediately when the
      claim fails, so we could easily remember the original address.  But we
      currently claim motherboard resources in the middle, after attempting to
      claim PCI resources and before assigning new PCI resources, and changing
      that is a fairly big job.

      jbd2/ocfs2: Fix block checksumming when a buffer is used in several transactions · 13ceef09
      Jan Kara 提交于
      OCFS2 uses t_commit trigger to compute and store checksum of the just
      committed blocks. When a buffer has b_frozen_data, checksum is computed
      for it instead of b_data but this can result in an old checksum being
      written to the filesystem in the following scenario:
      
      1) transaction1 is opened
      2) handle1 is opened
      3) journal_access(handle1, bh)
          - This sets jh->b_transaction to transaction1
      4) modify(bh)
      5) journal_dirty(handle1, bh)
      6) handle1 is closed
      7) start committing transaction1, opening transaction2
      8) handle2 is opened
      9) journal_access(handle2, bh)
          - This copies off b_frozen_data to make it safe for transaction1 to commit.
            jh->b_next_transaction is set to transaction2.
      10) jbd2_journal_write_metadata() checksums b_frozen_data
      11) the journal correctly writes b_frozen_data to the disk journal
      12) handle2 is closed
          - There was no dirty call for the bh on handle2, so it is never queued for
            any more journal operation
      13) Checkpointing finally happens, and it just spools the bh via normal buffer
      writeback.  This will write b_data, which was never triggered on and thus
      contains a wrong (old) checksum.
      
      This patch fixes the problem by calling the trigger at the moment data is
      frozen for journal commit - i.e., either when b_frozen_data is created by
      do_get_write_access or just before we write a buffer to the log if
      b_frozen_data does not exist. We also rename the trigger to t_frozen as
      that better describes when it is called.

      VFS: introduce s_dirty accessors · 140236b4
      Artem Bityutskiy 提交于
      This patch introduces 3 VFS accessors: 'sb_mark_dirty()',
      'sb_mark_clean()', and 'sb_is_dirty()'. They simply
      set 'sb->s_dirt' or test 'sb->s_dirt'. The plan is to make
      every FS use these accessors later instead of manipulating
      the 'sb->s_dirt' flag directly.
      
      Ultimately, this change is a preparation for the periodic
      superblock synchronization optimization which is about
      preventing the "sync_supers" kernel thread from waking up
      even if there is nothing to synchronize.
      
      This patch does not do any functional change, just adds
      accessor functions.

      writeback: simplify the write back thread queue · 83ba7b07

      First remove items from work_list as soon as we start working on them.  This
      means we don't have to track any pending or visited state and can get
      rid of all the RCU magic freeing the work items - we can simply free
      them once the operation has finished.  Second use a real completion for
      tracking synchronous requests - if the caller sets the completion pointer
      we complete it, otherwise use it as a boolean indicator that we can free
      the work item directly.  Third unify struct wb_writeback_args and struct
      bdi_work into a single data structure, wb_writeback_work.  Previous we
      set all parameters into a struct wb_writeback_args, copied it into
      struct bdi_work, copied it again on the stack to use it there.  Instead
      of just allocate one structure dynamically or on the stack and use it
      all the way through the stack.

      rbtree: Undo augmented trees performance damage and regression · b945d6b2
      Peter Zijlstra 提交于
      Reimplement augmented RB-trees without sprinkling extra branches
      all over the RB-tree code (which lives in the scheduler hot path).
      
      This approach is 'borrowed' from Fabio's BFQ implementation and
      relies on traversing the rebalance path after the RB-tree-op to
      correct the heap property for insertion/removal and make up for
      the damage done by the tree rotations.
      
      For insertion the rebalance path is trivially that from the new
      node upwards to the root, for removal it is that from the deepest
      node in the path from the to be removed node that will still
      be around after the removal.

      net: decreasing real_num_tx_queues needs to flush qdisc · f0796d5c
      John Fastabend 提交于
      Reducing real_num_queues needs to flush the qdisc otherwise
      skbs with queue_mappings greater then real_num_tx_queues can
      be sent to the underlying driver.
      
      The flow for this is,
      
      dev_queue_xmit()
      	dev_pick_tx()
      		skb_tx_hash()  => hash using real_num_tx_queues
      		skb_set_queue_mapping()
      	...
      	qdisc_enqueue_root() => enqueue skb on txq from hash
      ...
      dev->real_num_tx_queues -= n
      ...
      sch_direct_xmit()
      	dev_hard_start_xmit()
      		ndo_start_xmit(skb,dev) => skb queue set with old hash
      
      skbs are enqueued on the qdisc with skb->queue_mapping set
      0 < queue_mappings < real_num_tx_queues.  When the driver
      decreases real_num_tx_queues skb's may be dequeued from the
      qdisc with a queue_mapping greater then real_num_tx_queues.
      
      This fixes a case in ixgbe where this was occurring with DCB
      and FCoE. Because the driver is using queue_mapping to map
      skbs to tx descriptor rings we can potentially map skbs to
      rings that no longer exist.

      compiler-gcc.h: gcc-4.5 needs noclone and noinline on __naked functions · 9c695203
      Mikael Pettersson 提交于
      A __naked function is defined in C but with a body completely implemented
      by asm(), including any prologue and epilogue.  These asm() bodies expect
      standard calling conventions for parameter passing.  Older GCCs implement
      that correctly, but 4.[56] currently do not, see GCC PR44290.  In the
      Linux kernel this breaks ARM, causing most arch/arm/mm/copypage-*.c
      modules to get miscompiled, resulting in kernel crashes during bootup.
      
      Part of the kernel fix is to augment the __naked function attribute to
      also imply noinline and noclone.  This patch implements that, and has been
      verified to fix boot failures with gcc-4.5 compiled 2.6.34 and 2.6.35-rc1
      kernels.  The patch is a no-op with older GCCs.
