Linus suggested that probably all the supported architectures can allow a negative mutex count without incorrect behavior, so we can then back out the architecture specific change and allow the mutex count to go to any negative number. That should further reduce contention for non-x86 architecture.

The current mutex spinning code (with MUTEX_SPIN_ON_OWNER option turned on) allow multiple tasks to spin on a single mutex concurrently. A potential problem with the current approach is that when the mutex becomes available, all the spinning tasks will try to acquire the mutex more or less simultaneously. As a result, there will be a lot of cacheline bouncing especially on systems with a large number of CPUs. This patch tries to reduce this kind of contention by putting the mutex spinners into a queue so that only the first one in the queue will try to acquire the mutex. This will reduce contention and allow all the tasks to move forward faster. The queuing of mutex spinners is done using an MCS lock based implementation which will further reduce contention on the mutex cacheline than a similar ticket spinlock based implementation. This patch will add a new field into the mutex data structure for holding the MCS lock. This expands the mutex size by 8 bytes for 64-bit system and 4 bytes for 32-bit system. This overhead will be avoid if the MUTEX_SPIN_ON_OWNER option is turned off. The following table shows the jobs per minute (JPM) scalability data on an 8-node 80-core Westmere box with a 3.7.10 kernel. The numactl command is used to restrict the running of the fserver workloads to 1/2/4/8 nodes with hyperthreading off. +-----------------+-----------+-----------+-------------+----------+ | Configuration | Mean JPM | Mean JPM | Mean JPM | % Change | | | w/o patch | patch 1 | patches 1&2 | 1->1&2 | +-----------------+------------------------------------------------+ | | User Range 1100 - 2000 | +-----------------+------------------------------------------------+ | 8 nodes, HT off | 227972 | 227237 | 305043 | +34.2% | | 4 nodes, HT off | 393503 | 381558 | 394650 | +3.4% | | 2 nodes, HT off | 334957 | 325240 | 338853 | +4.2% | | 1 node , HT off | 198141 | 197972 | 198075 | +0.1% | +-----------------+------------------------------------------------+ | | User Range 200 - 1000 | +-----------------+------------------------------------------------+ | 8 nodes, HT off | 282325 | 312870 | 332185 | +6.2% | | 4 nodes, HT off | 390698 | 378279 | 393419 | +4.0% | | 2 nodes, HT off | 336986 | 326543 | 340260 | +4.2% | | 1 node , HT off | 197588 | 197622 | 197582 | 0.0% | +-----------------+-----------+-----------+-------------+----------+ At low user range 10-100, the JPM differences were within +/-1%. So they are not that interesting. The fserver workload uses mutex spinning extensively. With just the mutex change in the first patch, there is no noticeable change in performance. Rather, there is a slight drop in performance. This mutex spinning patch more than recovers the lost performance and show a significant increase of +30% at high user load with the full 8 nodes. Similar improvements were also seen in a 3.8 kernel. The table below shows the %time spent by different kernel functions as reported by perf when running the fserver workload at 1500 users with all 8 nodes. +-----------------------+-----------+---------+-------------+ | Function | % time | % time | % time | | | w/o patch | patch 1 | patches 1&2 | +-----------------------+-----------+---------+-------------+ | __read_lock_failed | 34.96% | 34.91% | 29.14% | | __write_lock_failed | 10.14% | 10.68% | 7.51% | | mutex_spin_on_owner | 3.62% | 3.42% | 2.33% | | mspin_lock | N/A | N/A | 9.90% | | __mutex_lock_slowpath | 1.46% | 0.81% | 0.14% | | _raw_spin_lock | 2.25% | 2.50% | 1.10% | +-----------------------+-----------+---------+-------------+ The fserver workload for an 8-node system is dominated by the contention in the read/write lock. Mutex contention also plays a role. With the first patch only, mutex contention is down (as shown by the __mutex_lock_slowpath figure) which help a little bit. We saw only a few percents improvement with that. By applying patch 2 as well, the single mutex_spin_on_owner figure is now split out into an additional mspin_lock figure. The time increases from 3.42% to 11.23%. It shows a great reduction in contention among the spinners leading to a 30% improvement. The time ratio 9.9/2.33=4.3 indicates that there are on average 4+ spinners waiting in the spin_lock loop for each spinner in the mutex_spin_on_owner loop. Contention in other locking functions also go down by quite a lot. The table below shows the performance change of both patches 1 & 2 over patch 1 alone in other AIM7 workloads (at 8 nodes, hyperthreading off). +--------------+---------------+----------------+-----------------+ | Workload | mean % change | mean % change | mean % change | | | 10-100 users | 200-1000 users | 1100-2000 users | +--------------+---------------+----------------+-----------------+ | alltests | 0.0% | -0.8% | +0.6% | | five_sec | -0.3% | +0.8% | +0.8% | | high_systime | +0.4% | +2.4% | +2.1% | | new_fserver | +0.1% | +14.1% | +34.2% | | shared | -0.5% | -0.3% | -0.4% | | short | -1.7% | -9.8% | -8.3% | +--------------+---------------+----------------+-----------------+ The short workload is the only one that shows a decline in performance probably due to the spinner locking and queuing overhead.

In the __mutex_lock_common() function, an initial entry into the lock slow path will cause two atomic_xchg instructions to be issued. Together with the atomic decrement in the fast path, a total of three atomic read-modify-write instructions will be issued in rapid succession. This can cause a lot of cache bouncing when many tasks are trying to acquire the mutex at the same time. This patch will reduce the number of atomic_xchg instructions used by checking the counter value first before issuing the instruction. The atomic_read() function is just a simple memory read. The atomic_xchg() function, on the other hand, can be up to 2 order of magnitude or even more in cost when compared with atomic_read(). By using atomic_read() to check the value first before calling atomic_xchg(), we can avoid a lot of unnecessary cache coherency traffic. The only downside with this change is that a task on the slow path will have a tiny bit less chance of getting the mutex when competing with another task in the fast path. The same is true for the atomic_cmpxchg() function in the mutex-spin-on-owner loop. So an atomic_read() is also performed before calling atomic_cmpxchg(). The mutex locking and unlocking code for the x86 architecture can allow any negative number to be used in the mutex count to indicate that some tasks are waiting for the mutex. I am not so sure if that is the case for the other architectures. So the default is to avoid atomic_xchg() if the count has already been set to -1. For x86, the check is modified to include all negative numbers to cover a larger case. The following table shows the jobs per minutes (JPM) scalability data on an 8-node 80-core Westmere box with a 3.7.10 kernel. The numactl command is used to restrict the running of the high_systime workloads to 1/2/4/8 nodes with hyperthreading on and off. +-----------------+-----------+------------+----------+ | Configuration | Mean JPM | Mean JPM | % Change | | | w/o patch | with patch | | +-----------------+-----------------------------------+ | | User Range 1100 - 2000 | +-----------------+-----------------------------------+ | 8 nodes, HT on | 36980 | 148590 | +301.8% | | 8 nodes, HT off | 42799 | 145011 | +238.8% | | 4 nodes, HT on | 61318 | 118445 | +51.1% | | 4 nodes, HT off | 158481 | 158592 | +0.1% | | 2 nodes, HT on | 180602 | 173967 | -3.7% | | 2 nodes, HT off | 198409 | 198073 | -0.2% | | 1 node , HT on | 149042 | 147671 | -0.9% | | 1 node , HT off | 126036 | 126533 | +0.4% | +-----------------+-----------------------------------+ | | User Range 200 - 1000 | +-----------------+-----------------------------------+ | 8 nodes, HT on | 41525 | 122349 | +194.6% | | 8 nodes, HT off | 49866 | 124032 | +148.7% | | 4 nodes, HT on | 66409 | 106984 | +61.1% | | 4 nodes, HT off | 119880 | 130508 | +8.9% | | 2 nodes, HT on | 138003 | 133948 | -2.9% | | 2 nodes, HT off | 132792 | 131997 | -0.6% | | 1 node , HT on | 116593 | 115859 | -0.6% | | 1 node , HT off | 104499 | 104597 | +0.1% | +-----------------+------------+-----------+----------+ At low user range 10-100, the JPM differences were within +/-1%.

The patch has practically no impact on 1 and 2 nodes system.

Rather than adding the two files individually, take the opportunity and add $(VMLINUX_OBJS) to "targets" instead, thus allowing the assignment at the top of the file to be shrunk quite a bit. At the same time, remove a pointless flags override line - the variable assigned to was misspelled anyway, and the options added are meaningless for assembly sources.

Commit 130549fe ("netfilter: reset nf_trace in nf_reset") added code to reset nf_trace in nf_reset(). This is wrong and unnecessary. nf_reset() is used in the following cases: - when passing packets up the the socket layer, at which point we want to release all netfilter references that might keep modules pinned while the packet is queued. nf_trace doesn't matter anymore at this point. - when encapsulating or decapsulating IPsec packets. We want to continue tracing these packets after IPsec processing. - when passing packets through virtual network devices. Only devices on that encapsulate in IPv4/v6 matter since otherwise nf_trace is not used anymore. Its not entirely clear whether those packets should be traced after that, however we've always done that. - when passing packets through virtual network devices that make the packet cross network namespace boundaries. This is the only cases where we clearly want to reset nf_trace and is also what the original patch intended to fix. Add a new function nf_reset_trace() and use it in dev_forward_skb() to fix this properly. Signed-off-by: NPatrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

This patch changes GFS2's discard issuing code so that it calls function sb_issue_discard rather than blkdev_issue_discard. The code was calling blkdev_issue_discard and specifying the correct sector offset and sector size, but blkdev_issue_discard expects these values to be in terms of 512 byte sectors, even if the native sector size for the device is different. Calling sb_issue_discard with the BLOCK size instead ensures the correct block-to-512b-sector translation. I verified that "minlen" is specified in blocks, so comparing it to a number of blocks is correct.

This reverts commit 0ef1594c. This patch introduced a few races which cannot be easily fixed with a small follow-up patch. Furthermore, the SoC with the broken hardware register, which this patch intended to add support for, can only be used with device trees, which this driver currently does not support.

A recent patch to fix the dm cache target's writethrough mode extended the bio's front_pad to include a 1056-byte struct dm_bio_details. Writeback mode doesn't need this, so this patch reduces the per_bio_data_size to 16 bytes in this case instead of 1096. The dm_bio_details structure was added in "dm cache: fix writes to cache device in writethrough mode" which fixed commit e2e74d61 ("dm cache: fix race in writethrough implementation"). In writeback mode we avoid allocating the writethrough-specific members of the per_bio_data structure (the dm_bio_details structure included).

由 Darrick J. Wong 提交于
The dm-cache writethrough strategy introduced by commit e2e74d61 ("dm cache: fix race in writethrough implementation") issues a bio to the origin device, remaps and then issues the bio to the cache device. This more conservative in-series approach was selected to favor correctness over performance (of the previous parallel writethrough). However, this in-series implementation that reuses the same bio to write both the origin and cache device didn't take into account that the block layer's req_bio_endio() modifies a completing bio's bi_sector and bi_size. So the new writethrough strategy needs to preserve these bio fields, and restore them before submission to the cache device, otherwise nothing gets written to the cache (because bi_size is 0). This patch adds a struct dm_bio_details field to struct per_bio_data, and uses dm_bio_record() and dm_bio_restore() to ensure the bio is restored before reissuing to the cache device. Adding such a large structure to the per_bio_data is not ideal but we can improve this later, for now correctness is the important thing. This problem initially went unnoticed because the dm-cache test-suite uses a linear DM device for the dm-cache device's origin device. Writethrough worked as expected because DM submits a *clone* of the original bio, so the original bio which was reused for the cache was never touched. Signed-off-by: NDarrick J.

SA_RESTORER used to be defined as 0x04000000 but only the O32 ABI ever supported its use and no libc was using it, so the entire sa-restorer functionality was removed with lmo commit 39bffc12c3580ab [Zap sa_restorer.] for 2.5.48 retaining only the SA_RESTORER definition as a reminder to avoid accidental reuse of the mask bit. Upstream cdef9602fbf1871a43f0f1b5cea10dd0f275167d [signal: always clear sa_restorer on execve] adds code that assumes sa_sigaction has an sa_restorer field, if SA_RESTORER is defined which would break MIPS. So remove the SA_RESTORER definition before the v3.8.4 merge. Signed-off-by: NRalf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org> (cherry picked from commit 17da8d63add23830892ac4dc2cbb3b5d4ffb79a8)

The commit a96102be introduced set_isa() where compatible ISA info is also set aside from the one gets passed in. It means, for example, 1004K will have MIPS_CPU_ISA_M32R2/M32R1/II/I flags. This leads to things like the following inappropriate: if (c->isa_level == MIPS_CPU_ISA_M32R1 || c->isa_level == MIPS_CPU_ISA_M32R2 || c->isa_level == MIPS_CPU_ISA_M64R1 || c->isa_level == MIPS_CPU_ISA_M64R2) This patch fixes it.
