      freezer: set PF_SUSPEND_TASK flag on tasks that call freeze_processes · 2b44c4db
      由 Colin Cross 提交于 
      Calling freeze_processes sets a global flag that will cause any
process that calls try_to_freeze to enter the refrigerator.  It
skips sending a signal to the current task, but if the current
task ever hits try_to_freeze, all threads will be frozen and the
system will deadlock.

Set a new flag, PF_SUSPEND_TASK, on the task that calls
freeze_processes.  The flag notifies the freezer that the thread
is involved in suspend and should not be frozen.  Also add a
WARN_ON in thaw_processes if the caller does not have the
PF_SUSPEND_TASK flag set to catch if a different task calls
thaw_processes than the one that called freeze_processes, leaving
a task with PF_SUSPEND_TASK permanently set on it.

Threads that spawn off a task with PF_SUSPEND_TASK set (which
swsusp does) will also have PF_SUSPEND_TASK set, preventing them
from freezing while they are helping with suspend, but they need
to be dead by the time suspend is triggered, otherwise they may
run when userspace is expected to be frozen.  Add a WARN_ON in
thaw_processes if more than one thread has the PF_SUSPEND_TASK
flag set.

      Revert "cpuidle: Quickly notice prediction failure for repeat mode" · 14851912
      由 Rafael J. Wysocki 提交于 
      Revert commit 69a37bea (cpuidle: Quickly notice prediction failure for
repeat mode), because it has been identified as the source of a
significant performance regression in v3.8 and later as explained by
Jeremy Eder:

  We believe we've identified a particular commit to the cpuidle code
  that seems to be impacting performance of variety of workloads.
  The simplest way to reproduce is using netperf TCP_RR test, so
  we're using that, on a pair of Sandy Bridge based servers.  We also
  have data from a large database setup where performance is also
  measurably/positively impacted, though that test data isn't easily
  share-able.

  Included below are test results from 3 test kernels:

  kernel       reverts
  -----------------------------------------------------------
  1) vanilla   upstream (no reverts)

  2) perfteam2 reverts e11538d1

  3) test      reverts 69a37bea
                       e11538d1

  In summary, netperf TCP_RR numbers improve by approximately 4%
  after reverting 69a37bea.  When
  69a37bea is included, C0 residency
  never seems to get above 40%.  Taking that patch out gets C0 near
  100% quite often, and performance increases.

  The below data are histograms representing the %c0 residency @
  1-second sample rates (using turbostat), while under netperf test.

  - If you look at the first 4 histograms, you can see %c0 residency
    almost entirely in the 30,40% bin.
  - The last pair, which reverts 69a37bea,
    shows %c0 in the 80,90,100% bins.

  Below each kernel name are netperf TCP_RR trans/s numbers for the
  particular kernel that can be disclosed publicly, comparing the 3
  test kernels.  We ran a 4th test with the vanilla kernel where
  we've also set /dev/cpu_dma_latency=0 to show overall impact
  boosting single-threaded TCP_RR performance over 11% above
  baseline.

  3.10-rc2 vanilla RX + c0 lock (/dev/cpu_dma_latency=0):

  These results demonstrate gaining back the tendency of the CPU to
  stay in more responsive, performant C-states (and thus yield
  measurably better performance), by reverting commit

      net/mlx4_core: Respond to operation request by firmware · fe6f700d
      由 Yevgeny Petrilin 提交于 
      This commit adds new firmware command and new firmware event.  The firmware
raises the MLX4_EVENT_TYPE_OP_REQUIRED event in order to signal the driver it
needs to perform an administrative operation throughout the MLX4_CMD_GET_OP_REQ
command. At the moment the supported operation is adding/removing multicast
entries which are used by the firmware for handling NCSI traffic in B0
steering mode.

Also, had to swap the order of mlx4_init_mcg_table() and
mlx4_init_eq_table() to make sure that driver will get events only after
resources are initialized to handle it.

      tcp: TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT socket option · c9bee3b7
      由 Eric Dumazet 提交于 
      Idea of this patch is to add optional limitation of number of
unsent bytes in TCP sockets, to reduce usage of kernel memory.

TCP receiver might announce a big window, and TCP sender autotuning
might allow a large amount of bytes in write queue, but this has little
performance impact if a large part of this buffering is wasted :

Write queue needs to be large only to deal with large BDP, not
necessarily to cope with scheduling delays (incoming ACKS make room
for the application to queue more bytes)

For most workloads, using a value of 128 KB or less is OK to give
applications enough time to react to POLLOUT events in time
(or being awaken in a blocking sendmsg())

This patch adds two ways to set the limit :

1) Per socket option TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT

2) A sysctl (/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_notsent_lowat) for sockets
not using TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT socket option (or setting a zero value)
Default value being UINT_MAX (0xFFFFFFFF), meaning this has no effect.

This changes poll()/select()/epoll() to report POLLOUT
only if number of unsent bytes is below tp->nosent_lowat

Note this might increase number of sendmsg()/sendfile() calls
when using non blocking sockets,
and increase number of context switches for blocking sockets.

Note this is not related to SO_SNDLOWAT (as SO_SNDLOWAT is
defined as :
 Specify the minimum number of bytes in the buffer until
 the socket layer will pass the data to the protocol)

Tested:

netperf sessions, and watching /proc/net/protocols "memory" column for TCP

With 200 concurrent netperf -t TCP_STREAM sessions, amount of kernel memory
used by TCP buffers shrinks by ~55 % (20567 pages instead of 45458)

lpq83:~# echo -1 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_notsent_lowat
lpq83:~# (super_netperf 200 -t TCP_STREAM -H remote -l 90 &); sleep 60 ; grep TCP /proc/net/protocols
TCPv6     1880      2   45458   no     208   yes  ipv6        y  y  y  y  y  y  y  y  y  y  y  y  y  n  y  y  y  y  y
TCP       1696    508   45458   no     208   yes  kernel      y  y  y  y  y  y  y  y  y  y  y  y  y  n  y  y  y  y  y

lpq83:~# (super_netperf 200 -t TCP_STREAM -H remote -l 90 &); sleep 60 ; grep TCP /proc/net/protocols
TCPv6     1880      2   20567   no     208   yes  ipv6        y  y  y  y  y  y  y  y  y  y  y  y  y  n  y  y  y  y  y

Using 128KB has no bad effect on the throughput or cpu usage
of a single flow, although there is an increase of context switches.

A bonus is that we hold socket lock for a shorter amount
of time and should improve latencies of ACK processing.

EDAC MC0: Giving out device to 'sbridge_edac.c' 'Sandy Bridge Socket#0': DEV 0000:3f:0e.0
EDAC sbridge: Driver loaded.

What happens is that bus_register needs a statically allocated lock_key
because the last is handed in to lockdep. However, struct mem_ctl_info
embeds struct bus_type (the whole struct, not a pointer to it) and the
whole thing gets dynamically allocated.

Fix this by using a statically allocated struct bus_type for the MC bus.

      ARM: pxa: propagate errors from regulator_enable() to pxamci · a829abf8
      由 Arnd Bergmann 提交于 
      The em_x270_mci_setpower() and em_x270_usb_hub_init() functions
call regulator_enable(), which may return an error that must
be checked.

This changes the em_x270_usb_hub_init() function to bail out
if it fails, and changes the pxamci_platform_data->setpower
callback so that the a failed em_x270_mci_setpower call
can be propagated by the pxamci driver into the mmc core.

      ssb: fix alignment of struct bcma_device_id · b01a60be
      由 Arnd Bergmann 提交于 
      The ARM OABI and EABI disagree on the alignment of structures
with small members, so module init tools may interpret the
ssb device table incorrectly, as shown  by this warning when
building the b43 device driver in an OABI kernel:

FATAL: drivers/net/wireless/b43/b43: sizeof(struct ssb_device_id)=6 is
not a modulo of the size of section __mod_ssb_device_table=88.

Forcing the default (EABI) alignment on the structure makes this
problem go away. Since the ssb_device_id may have the same problem,
better fix both structures.

      vlan: mask vlan prio bits · d4b812de
      由 Eric Dumazet 提交于 
      In commit 48cc32d3
("vlan: don't deliver frames for unknown vlans to protocols")
Florian made sure we set pkt_type to PACKET_OTHERHOST
if the vlan id is set and we could find a vlan device for this
particular id.

But we also have a problem if prio bits are set.

Steinar reported an issue on a router receiving IPv6 frames with a
vlan tag of 4000 (id 0, prio 2), and tunneled into a sit device,
because skb->vlan_tci is set.

Forwarded frame is completely corrupted : We can see (8100:4000)
being inserted in the middle of IPv6 source address :

16:48:00.780413 IP6 2001:16d8:8100:4000:ee1c:0:9d9:bc87 >
9f94:4d95:2001:67c:29f4::: ICMP6, unknown icmp6 type (0), length 64
       0x0000:  0000 0029 8000 c7c3 7103 0001 a0ae e651
       0x0010:  0000 0000 ccce 0b00 0000 0000 1011 1213
       0x0020:  1415 1617 1819 1a1b 1c1d 1e1f 2021 2223
       0x0030:  2425 2627 2829 2a2b 2c2d 2e2f 3031 3233

It seems we are not really ready to properly cope with this right now.

We can probably do better in future kernels :
vlan_get_ingress_priority() should be a netdev property instead of
a per vlan_dev one.

For stable kernels, lets clear vlan_tci to fix the bugs.

      ACPI / video / i915: No ACPI backlight if firmware expects Windows 8 · 8c5bd7ad
      由 Rafael J. Wysocki 提交于 
      According to Matthew Garrett, "Windows 8 leaves backlight control up
to individual graphics drivers rather than making ACPI calls itself.
There's plenty of evidence to suggest that the Intel driver for
Windows [8] doesn't use the ACPI interface, including the fact that
it's broken on a bunch of machines when the OS claims to support
Windows 8.  The simplest thing to do appears to be to disable the
ACPI backlight interface on these systems".

There's a problem with that approach, however, because simply
avoiding to register the ACPI backlight interface if the firmware
calls _OSI for Windows 8 may not work in the following situations:
 (1) The ACPI backlight interface actually works on the given system
     and the i915 driver is not loaded (e.g. another graphics driver
     is used).
 (2) The ACPI backlight interface doesn't work on the given system,
     but there is a vendor platform driver that will register its
     own, equally broken, backlight interface if not prevented from
     doing so by the ACPI subsystem.
Therefore we need to allow the ACPI backlight interface to be
registered until the i915 driver is loaded which then will unregister
it if the firmware has called _OSI for Windows 8 (or will register
the ACPI video driver without backlight support if not already
present).

For this reason, introduce an alternative function for registering
ACPI video, acpi_video_register_with_quirks(), that will check
whether or not the ACPI video driver has already been registered
and whether or not the backlight Windows 8 quirk has to be applied.
If the quirk has to be applied, it will block the ACPI backlight
support and either unregister the backlight interface if the ACPI
video driver has already been registered, or register the ACPI
video driver without the backlight interface otherwise.  Make
the i915 driver use acpi_video_register_with_quirks() instead of
acpi_video_register() in i915_driver_load().

This change is based on earlier patches from Matthew Garrett,
Chun-Yi Lee and Seth Forshee and includes a fix from Aaron Lu's.
