The current setting for SECTION_SIZE_BITS is quite small compared to everyone else: arch/powerpc/include/asm/sparsemem.h:#define SECTION_SIZE_BITS 24 arch/sparc/include/asm/sparsemem.h:#define SECTION_SIZE_BITS 30 arch/ia64/include/asm/sparsemem.h:#define SECTION_SIZE_BITS (30) arch/s390/include/asm/sparsemem.h:#define SECTION_SIZE_BITS 28 arch/x86/include/asm/sparsemem.h:# define SECTION_SIZE_BITS 27 And it has proven to be an issue during boot on very large machines. If hotplug memory is enabled, drivers/base/memory.c does this: for (i = 0; i < NR_MEM_SECTIONS; i++) { if (!present_section_nr(i)) continue; err = add_memory_block(0, __nr_to_section(i), MEM_ONLINE, 0, BOOT); if (!ret) ret = err; } Which creates a sysfs directory for every 16MB of memory. As a result I'm seeing up to 30 minutes spent here during boot: c000000000248ee0 .__sysfs_add_one+0x28/0x128 c0000000002492a8 .sysfs_add_one+0x38/0x188 c000000000249c88 .create_dir+0x70/0x138 c000000000249d98 .sysfs_create_dir+0x48/0x78 c00000000032bad8 .kobject_add_internal+0x140/0x308 c00000000032beb4 .kobject_init_and_add+0x4c/0x68 c00000000046c2c0 .sysdev_register+0xa0/0x220 c00000000047b1dc .add_memory_block+0x124/0x1e8 c0000000008d1f28 .memory_dev_init+0xf4/0x168 c0000000008d1b64 .driver_init+0x50/0x64 c000000000890378 .do_basic_setup+0x40/0xd4 I assume there are some O(n^2) issues in sysfs as we add all the memory nodes. Bumping SECTION_SIZE_BITS to 256 MB drops the time to about 10 seconds and results in a much smaller /sys.

We have had issues in the past with ibm,os-term initiating shutdown of a partition. This is confusing to the user, especially if panic_timeout is non zero. The temporary fix was to avoid calling ibm,os-term if a panic_timeout was set and since we set it on every boot we basically never call ibm,os-term. An extended version of ibm,os-term has since been implemented which gives us the behaviour we want: "When the platform supports extended ibm,os-term behavior, the return to the RTAS will always occur unless there is a kernel assisted dump active as initiated by an ibm,configure-kernel-dump call." This patch checks for the ibm,extended-os-term property and calls ibm,os-term if it exists.

I noticed /proc/sys/vm/zone_reclaim_mode was 0 on a ppc64 NUMA box. It gets enabled via this: /* * If another node is sufficiently far away then it is better * to reclaim pages in a zone before going off node. */ if (distance > RECLAIM_DISTANCE) zone_reclaim_mode = 1; Since we use the default value of 20 for REMOTE_DISTANCE and 20 for RECLAIM_DISTANCE it never kicks in. The local to remote bandwidth ratios can be quite large on System p machines so it makes sense for us to reclaim clean pagecache locally before going off node. The patch below sets a smaller value for RECLAIM_DISTANCE and thus enables zone reclaim.

Commit 0119536c, which added the assembly version of strncmp to powerpc, mentions that it adds two instructions to the version from boot/string.S to allow it to handle len=0. Unfortunately, it doesn't always return 0 when that is the case. The length is passed in r5, but the return value is passed back in r3. In certain cases, this will happen to work. Otherwise it will pass back the address of the first string as the return value. This patch lifts the len <= 0 handling code from memcpy to handle that case.

Some BIOSes don't configure HPA during boot but do so while resuming. This causes harddrives to shrink during resume making libata detach and reattach them. This can be worked around by unlocking HPA if old size equals native size. Add ATA_DFLAG_UNLOCK_HPA so that HPA unlocking can be controlled per-device and update ata_dev_revalidate() such that it sets ATA_DFLAG_UNLOCK_HPA and fails with -EIO when the above condition is detected.

Crucial said, Thank you for contacting us. We know that with our M225 line of SSDs you sometimes need to disable NCQ (native command queuing) to avoid just the type of errors you're seeing. Our recommendation for the M225 is to add libata.force=noncq to your Linux kernel boot options, under the kernel ATA library option. I have sent your feedback to the engineers working on the C300, and asked them to please pass it on to the firmware team. I have been notified that they are in the process of testing and finalizing a new firmware version, that you can expect to see released around the end of April. We’ll keep you posted as to when it will be available for download. So, turn off NCQ on the drive w/ the current firmware revision.
