      [PATCH] knfsd: tidy up up meaning of 'buffer size' in nfsd/sunrpc · c6b0a9f8
      NeilBrown 提交于
      There is some confusion about the meaning of 'bufsz' for a sunrpc server.
      In some cases it is the largest message that can be sent or received.  In
      other cases it is the largest 'payload' that can be included in a NFS
      message.
      
      In either case, it is not possible for both the request and the reply to be
      this large.  One of the request or reply may only be one page long, which
      fits nicely with NFS.
      
      So we remove 'bufsz' and replace it with two numbers: 'max_payload' and
      'max_mesg'.  Max_payload is the size that the server requests.  It is used
      by the server to check the max size allowed on a particular connection:
      depending on the protocol a lower limit might be used.
      
      max_mesg is the largest single message that can be sent or received.  It is
      calculated as the max_payload, rounded up to a multiple of PAGE_SIZE, and
      with PAGE_SIZE added to overhead.  Only one of the request and reply may be
      this size.  The other must be at most one page.

      [PATCH] page fault retry with NOPAGE_REFAULT · 7f7bbbe5
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt 提交于
      Add a way for a no_page() handler to request a retry of the faulting
      instruction.  It goes back to userland on page faults and just tries again
      in get_user_pages().  I added a cond_resched() in the loop in that later
      case.
      
      The problem I have with signal and spufs is an actual bug affecting apps and I
      don't see other ways of fixing it.
      
      In addition, we are having issues with infiniband and 64k pages (related to
      the way the hypervisor deals with some HV cards) that will require us to muck
      around with the MMU from within the IB driver's no_page() (it's a pSeries
      specific driver) and return to the caller the same way using NOPAGE_REFAULT.
      
      And to add to this, the graphics folks have been following a new approach of
      memory management that involves transparently swapping objects between video
      ram and main meory.  To do that, they need installing PTEs from a no_page()
      handler as well and that also requires returning with NOPAGE_REFAULT.
      
      (For the later, they are currently using io_remap_pfn_range to install one PTE
      from no_page() which is a bit racy, we need to add a check for the PTE having
      already been installed afer taking the lock, but that's ok, they are only at
      the proof-of-concept stage.  I'll send a patch adding a "clean" function to do
      that, we can use that from spufs too and get rid of the sparsemem hacks we do
      to create struct page for SPEs.  Basically, that provides a generic solution
      for being able to have no_page() map hardware devices, which is something that
      I think sound driver folks have been asking for some time too).
      
      All of these things depend on having the NOPAGE_REFAULT exit path from
      no_page() handlers.

      [PATCH] rcu: simplify/improve batch tuning · 20e9751b
      Oleg Nesterov 提交于
      Kill a hard-to-calculate 'rsinterval' boot parameter and per-cpu
      rcu_data.last_rs_qlen.  Instead, it adds adds a flag rcu_ctrlblk.signaled,
      which records the fact that one of CPUs has sent a resched IPI since the
      last rcu_start_batch().
      
      Roughly speaking, we need two rcu_start_batch()s in order to move callbacks
      from ->nxtlist to ->donelist.  This means that when ->qlen exceeds qhimark
      and continues to grow, we should send a resched IPI, and then do it again
      after we gone through a quiescent state.
      
      On the other hand, if it was already sent, we don't need to do it again
      when another CPU detects overflow of the queue.

      [PATCH] SRCU: report out-of-memory errors · e6a92013
      Alan Stern 提交于
      Currently the init_srcu_struct() routine has no way to report out-of-memory
      errors.  This patch (as761) makes it return -ENOMEM when the per-cpu data
      allocation fails.
      
      The patch also makes srcu_init_notifier_head() report a BUG if a notifier
      head can't be initialized.  Perhaps it should return -ENOMEM instead, but
      in the most likely cases where this might occur I don't think any recovery
      is possible.  Notifier chains generally are not created dynamically.

      [PATCH] Add SRCU-based notifier chains · eabc0694
      Alan Stern 提交于
      This patch (as751) adds a new type of notifier chain, based on the SRCU
      (Sleepable Read-Copy Update) primitives recently added to the kernel.  An
      SRCU notifier chain is much like a blocking notifier chain, in that it must
      be called in process context and its callout routines are allowed to sleep.
       The difference is that the chain's links are protected by the SRCU
      mechanism rather than by an rw-semaphore, so calling the chain has
      extremely low overhead: no memory barriers and no cache-line bouncing.  On
      the other hand, unregistering from the chain is expensive and the chain
      head requires special runtime initialization (plus cleanup if it is to be
      deallocated).
      
      SRCU notifiers are appropriate for notifiers that will be called very
      frequently and for which unregistration occurs very seldom.  The proposed
      "task notifier" scheme qualifies, as may some of the network notifiers.

      [PATCH] srcu-3: RCU variant permitting read-side blocking · 621934ee
      Paul E. McKenney 提交于
      Updated patch adding a variant of RCU that permits sleeping in read-side
      critical sections.  SRCU is as follows:
      
      o	Each use of SRCU creates its own srcu_struct, and each
      	srcu_struct has its own set of grace periods.  This is
      	critical, as it prevents one subsystem with a blocking
      	reader from holding up SRCU grace periods for other
      	subsystems.
      
      o	The SRCU primitives (srcu_read_lock(), srcu_read_unlock(),
      	and synchronize_srcu()) all take a pointer to a srcu_struct.
      
      o	The SRCU primitives must be called from process context.
      
      o	srcu_read_lock() returns an int that must be passed to
      	the matching srcu_read_unlock().  Realtime RCU avoids the
      	need for this by storing the state in the task struct,
      	but SRCU needs to allow a given code path to pass through
      	multiple SRCU domains -- storing state in the task struct
      	would therefore require either arbitrary space in the
      	task struct or arbitrary limits on SRCU nesting.  So I
      	kicked the state-storage problem up to the caller.
      
      	Of course, it is not permitted to call synchronize_srcu()
      	while in an SRCU read-side critical section.
      
      o	There is no call_srcu().  It would not be hard to implement
      	one, but it seems like too easy a way to OOM the system.
      	(Hey, we have enough trouble with call_rcu(), which does
      	-not- permit readers to sleep!!!)  So, if you want it,
      	please tell me why...

      It turns out msi_ops was simply not enough to abstract the architecture
      specific details of msi.  So I have moved the resposibility of constructing

      functions arch_setup_msi_irq, and arch_teardown_msi_irq.
      
      For simple architectures those functions can do all of the work.  For
      architectures with platform dependencies they can call into the appropriate
      platform code.
      
      With this msi.c is finally free of assuming you have an apic, and this
      actually takes less code.
      
      The helpers for the architecture specific code are declared in the linux/msi.h
      to keep them separate from the msi functions used by drivers in linux/pci.h

      [PATCH] msi: simplify msi sanity checks by adding with generic irq code · 1f80025e
      Eric W. Biederman 提交于
      Currently msi.c is doing sanity checks that make certain before an irq is
      destroyed it has no more users.
      
      By adding irq_has_action I can perform the test is a generic way, instead of
      relying on a msi specific data structure.
      
      By performing the core check in dynamic_irq_cleanup I ensure every user of
      dynamic irqs has a test present and we don't free resources that are in use.
      
      In msi.c this allows me to kill the attrib.state member of msi_desc and all of
      the assciated code to maintain it.
      
      To keep from freeing data structures when irq cleanup code is called to soon
      changing dyanamic_irq_cleanup is insufficient because there are msi specific
      data structures that are also not safe to free.

      [PATCH] Initial generic hypertransport interrupt support · 8b955b0d
      Eric W. Biederman 提交于
      This patch implements two functions ht_create_irq and ht_destroy_irq for
      use by drivers.  Several other functions are implemented as helpers for
      arch specific irq_chip handlers.
      
      The driver for the card I tested this on isn't yet ready to be merged.
      However this code is and hypertransport irqs are in use in a few other
      places in the kernel.  Not that any of this will get merged before 2.6.19
      
      Because the ipath-ht400 is slightly out of spec this code will need to be
      generalized to work there.
      
      I think all of the powerpc uses are for a plain interrupt controller in a
      chipset so support for native hypertransport devices is a little less
      interesting.
      
      However I think this is a half way decent model on how to separate arch
      specific and generic helper code, and I think this is a functional model of
      how to get the architecture dependencies out of the msi code.

      created dynamically at run time.
      
      Currently the msi code allocates irqs backwards.  First it allocates a
      platform dependent routing value for an interrupt the ``vector'' and then it
      figures out from the vector which irq you are on.
      
      This msi backwards allocator suffers from two basic problems.  The allocator
      suffers because it is trying to do something that is architecture specific in
      a generic way making it brittle, inflexible, and tied to tightly to the
      architecture implementation.  The alloctor also suffers from it's very
      backwards nature as it has tied things together that should have no
      dependencies.
      
      To solve the basic dynamic irq allocation problem two new architecture
      specific functions are added: create_irq and destroy_irq.
      
      create_irq takes no input and returns an unused irq number, that won't be
      reused until it is returned to the free poll with destroy_irq.  The irq then
      can be used for any purpose although the only initial consumer is the msi
      code.
      
      destroy_irq takes an irq number allocated with create_irq and returns it to
      the free pool.
      
      Making this functionality per architecture increases the simplicity of the irq
      allocation code and increases it's flexibility.
      
      dynamic_irq_init() and dynamic_irq_cleanup() are added to automate the
      irq_desc initializtion that should happen for dynamic irqs.

      [PATCH] genirq: msi: refactor the msi_ops · 38bc0361
      Eric W. Biederman 提交于
      The current msi_ops are short sighted in a number of ways, this patch attempts
      to fix the glaring deficiences.
      
      - Report in msi_ops if a 64bit address is needed in the msi message, so we
        can fail 32bit only msi structures.
      
      - Send and receive a full struct msi_msg in both setup and target.  This is
        a little cleaner and allows for architectures that need to modify the data
        to retarget the msi interrupt to a different cpu.
      
      - In target pass in the full cpu mask instead of just the first cpu in case
        we can make use of the full cpu mask.
      
      - Operate in terms of irqs and not vectors, currently there is still a 1-1
        relationship but on architectures other than ia64 I expect this will change.

      Eric W. Biederman 提交于
      In support of this I also add a struct msi_msg that captures the the two
      address and one data field ina typical msi message, and I remember the pos and
      if the address is 64bit in struct msi_desc.
      
      This makes the code a little more readable and easier to maintain, and paves
      the way to further simplfications.

      [PATCH] genirq: irq: add moved_masked_irq · e7b946e9
      Eric W. Biederman 提交于
      Currently move_native_irq disables and renables the irq we are migrating to
      ensure we don't take that irq when we are actually doing the migration
      operation.  Disabling the irq needs to happen but sometimes doing the work is
      move_native_irq is too late.
      
      On x86 with ioapics the irq move sequences needs to be:
      edge_triggered:
        mask irq.
        move irq.
        unmask irq.
        ack irq.
      level_triggered:
        mask irq.
        ack irq.
        move irq.
        unmask irq.
      
      We can easily perform the edge triggered sequence, with the current defintion
      of move_native_irq.  However the level triggered case does not map well.  For
      that I have added move_masked_irq, to allow me to disable the irqs around both
      the ack and the move.
      
      Q: Why have we not seen this problem earlier?
      
      A: The only symptom I have been able to reproduce is that if we change
         the vector before acknowleding an irq the wrong irq is acknowledged.
         Since we currently are not reprogramming the irq vector during
         migration no problems show up.
      
         We have to mask the irq before we acknowledge the irq or else we could
         hit a window where an irq is asserted just before we acknowledge it.
      
         Edge triggered irqs do not have this problem because acknowledgements
         do not propogate in the same way.

      [PATCH] genirq: irq: convert the move_irq flag from a 32bit word to a single bit · a24ceab4
      Eric W. Biederman 提交于
      The primary aim of this patchset is to remove maintenances problems caused by
      the irq infrastructure.  The two big issues I address are an artificially
      small cap on the number of irqs, and that MSI assumes vector == irq.  My
      primary focus is on x86_64 but I have touched other architectures where
      necessary to keep them from breaking.
      
      - To increase the number of irqs I modify the code to look at the (cpu,
        vector) pair instead of just looking at the vector.
      
        With a large number of irqs available systems with a large irq count no
        longer need to compress their irq numbers to fit.  Removing a lot of brittle
        special cases.
      
        For acpi guys the result is that irq == gsi.
      
      - Addressing the fact that MSI assumes irq == vector takes a few more
        patches.  But suffice it to say when I am done none of the generic irq code
        even knows what a vector is.
      
      In quick testing on a large Unisys x86_64 machine we stumbled over at least
      one driver that assumed that NR_IRQS could always fit into an 8 bit number.
      This driver is clearly buggy today.  But this has become a class of bugs that
      it is now much easier to hit.
      
      This patch:
      
      This is a minor space optimization.  In practice I don't think this has any
      affect because of our alignment constraints and the other fields but there is
      not point in chewing up an uncessary word and since we already read the flag
      field this should improve the cache hit ratio of the irq handler.
