      sysfs/cpu: Add probe/release files · 12633e80
      Nathan Fontenot 提交于
      Version 3 of this patch is updated with documentation added to
      Documentation/ABI.  There are no changes to any of the C code from v2
      of the patch.
      
      In order to support kernel DLPAR of CPU resources we need to provide an
      interface to add (probe) and remove (release) the resource from the system.
      This patch Creates new generic probe and release sysfs files to facilitate
      cpu probe/release.  The probe/release interface provides for allowing each
      arch to supply their own routines for implementing the backend of adding
      and removing cpus to/from the system.
      
      This also creates the powerpc specific stubs to handle the arch callouts
      from writes to the sysfs files.
      
      The creation and use of these files is regulated by the
      CONFIG_ARCH_CPU_PROBE_RELEASE option so that only architectures that need the
      capability will have the files created.

      KVM: allow userspace to adjust kvmclock offset · afbcf7ab
      Glauber Costa 提交于
      When we migrate a kvm guest that uses pvclock between two hosts, we may
      suffer a large skew. This is because there can be significant differences
      between the monotonic clock of the hosts involved. When a new host with
      a much larger monotonic time starts running the guest, the view of time
      will be significantly impacted.
      
      Situation is much worse when we do the opposite, and migrate to a host with
      a smaller monotonic clock.
      
      This proposed ioctl will allow userspace to inform us what is the monotonic
      clock value in the source host, so we can keep the time skew short, and
      more importantly, never goes backwards. Userspace may also need to trigger
      the current data, since from the first migration onwards, it won't be
      reflected by a simple call to clock_gettime() anymore.

      KVM: Xen PV-on-HVM guest support · ffde22ac
      Ed Swierk 提交于
      Support for Xen PV-on-HVM guests can be implemented almost entirely in
      userspace, except for handling one annoying MSR that maps a Xen
      hypercall blob into guest address space.
      
      A generic mechanism to delegate MSR writes to userspace seems overkill
      and risks encouraging similar MSR abuse in the future.  Thus this patch
      adds special support for the Xen HVM MSR.
      
      I implemented a new ioctl, KVM_XEN_HVM_CONFIG, that lets userspace tell
      KVM which MSR the guest will write to, as well as the starting address
      and size of the hypercall blobs (one each for 32-bit and 64-bit) that
      userspace has loaded from files.  When the guest writes to the MSR, KVM
      copies one page of the blob from userspace to the guest.
      
      I've tested this patch with a hacked-up version of Gerd's userspace
      code, booting a number of guests (CentOS 5.3 i386 and x86_64, and
      FreeBSD 8.0-RC1 amd64) and exercising PV network and block devices.

      powerpc/pseries: Add hooks to put the CPU into an appropriate offline state · 3aa565f5
      Gautham R Shenoy 提交于
      When a CPU is offlined on POWER currently, we call rtas_stop_self() and hand
      the CPU back to the resource pool. This path is used for DLPAR which will
      cause a change in the LPAR configuration which will be visible outside.
      
      This patch changes the default state a CPU is put into when it is offlined.
      On platforms which support ceding the processor to the hypervisor with
      latency hint specifier value, during a cpu offline operation,
      instead of calling rtas_stop_self(), we cede the vCPU to the hypervisor
      while passing a latency hint specifier value. The Hypervisor can use this hint
      to provide better energy savings. Also, during the offline
      operation, the control of the vCPU remains with the LPAR as oppposed to
      returning it to the resource pool.
      
      The patch achieves this by creating an infrastructure to set the
      preferred_offline_state() which can be either
      - CPU_STATE_OFFLINE: which is the current behaviour of calling
        rtas_stop_self()
      
      - CPU_STATE_INACTIVE: which cedes the vCPU to the hypervisor with the latency
        hint specifier.
      
      The codepath which wants to perform a DLPAR operation can set the
      preferred_offline_state() of a CPU to CPU_STATE_OFFLINE before invoking
      cpu_down().
      
      The patch also provides a boot-time command line argument to disable/enable
      CPU_STATE_INACTIVE.

      CacheFiles: Catch an overly long wait for an old active object · fee096de
      David Howells 提交于
      Catch an overly long wait for an old, dying active object when we want to
      replace it with a new one.  The probability is that all the slow-work threads
      are hogged, and the delete can't get a look in.
      
      What we do instead is:
      
       (1) if there's nothing in the slow work queue, we sleep until either the dying
           object has finished dying or there is something in the slow work queue
           behind which we can queue our object.
      
       (2) if there is something in the slow work queue, we return ETIMEDOUT to
           fscache_lookup_object(), which then puts us back on the slow work queue,
           presumably behind the deletion that we're blocked by.  We are then
           deferred for a while until we work our way back through the queue -
           without blocking a slow-work thread unnecessarily.
      
      A backtrace similar to the following may appear in the log without this patch:

      In the above backtrace, the following is happening:
      
       (1) A page storage operation is being executed by a slow-work thread
           (fscache_write_op()).
      
       (2) FS-Cache farms the operation out to the cache to perform
           (cachefiles_write_page()).
      
       (3) CacheFiles is then calling Ext3 to perform the actual write, using Ext3's
           standard write (do_sync_write()) under KERNEL_DS directly from the netfs
           page.
      
       (4) However, for Ext3 to perform the write, it must allocate some memory, in
           particular, it must allocate at least one page cache page into which it
           can copy the data from the netfs page.
      
       (5) Under OOM conditions, the memory allocator can't immediately come up with
           a page, so it uses vmscan to find something to discard
           (try_to_free_pages()).
      
       (6) vmscan finds a clean netfs page it might be able to discard (possibly the
           one it's trying to write out).
      
       (7) The netfs is called to throw the page away (nfs_release_page()) - but it's
           called with __GFP_WAIT, so the netfs decides to wait for the store to
           complete (__fscache_wait_on_page_write()).
      
       (8) This blocks a slow-work processing thread - possibly against itself.
      
      The system ends up stuck because it can't write out any netfs pages to the
      cache without allocating more memory.
      
      To avoid this, we make FS-Cache cancel some writes that aren't in the middle of
      actually being performed.  This means that some data won't make it into the
      cache this time.  To support this, a new FS-Cache function is added
      fscache_maybe_release_page() that replaces what the netfs releasepage()
      functions used to do with respect to the cache.
      
      The decisions fscache_maybe_release_page() makes are counted and displayed
      through /proc/fs/fscache/stats on a line labelled "VmScan".  There are four
      counters provided: "nos=N" - pages that weren't pending storage; "gon=N" -
      pages that were pending storage when we first looked, but weren't by the time
      we got the object lock; "bsy=N" - pages that we ignored as they were actively
      being written when we looked; and "can=N" - pages that we cancelled the storage
      of.
      
      What I'd really like to do is alter the behaviour of the cancellation
      heuristics, depending on how necessary it is to expel pages.  If there are
      plenty of other pages that aren't waiting to be written to the cache that
      could be ejected first, then it would be nice to hold up on immediate
      cancellation of cache writes - but I don't see a way of doing that.

      FS-Cache: Fix lock misorder in fscache_write_op() · 1bccf513
      David Howells 提交于
      FS-Cache has two structs internally for keeping track of the internal state of
      a cached file: the fscache_cookie struct, which represents the netfs's state,
      and fscache_object struct, which represents the cache's state.  Each has a
      pointer that points to the other (when both are in existence), and each has a
      spinlock for pointer maintenance.
      
      Since netfs operations approach these structures from the cookie side, they get
      the cookie lock first, then the object lock.  Cache operations, on the other
      hand, approach from the object side, and get the object lock first.  It is not
      then permitted for a cache operation to get the cookie lock whilst it is
      holding the object lock lest deadlock occur; instead, it must do one of two
      things:
      
       (1) increment the cookie usage counter, drop the object lock and then get both
           locks in order, or
      
       (2) simply hold the object lock as certain parts of the cookie may not be
           altered whilst the object lock is held.
      
      It is also not permitted to follow either pointer without holding the lock at
      the end you start with.  To break the pointers between the cookie and the
      object, both locks must be held.
      
      fscache_write_op(), however, violates the locking rules: It attempts to get the
      cookie lock without (a) checking that the cookie pointer is a valid pointer,
      and (b) holding the object lock to protect the cookie pointer whilst it follows
      it.  This is so that it can access the pending page store tree without
      interference from __fscache_write_page().
      
      This is fixed by splitting the cookie lock, such that the page store tracking
      tree is protected by its own lock, and checking that the cookie pointer is
      non-NULL before we attempt to follow it whilst holding the object lock.
      
      The new lock is subordinate to both the cookie lock and the object lock, and so
      should be taken after those.

      FS-Cache: Permit cache retrieval ops to be interrupted in the initial wait phase · 5753c441
      David Howells 提交于
      Permit the operations to retrieve data from the cache or to allocate space in
      the cache for future writes to be interrupted whilst they're waiting for
      permission for the operation to proceed.  Typically this wait occurs whilst the
      cache object is being looked up on disk in the background.
      
      If an interruption occurs, and the operation has not yet been given the
      go-ahead to run, the operation is dequeued and cancelled, and control returns
      to the read operation of the netfs routine with none of the requested pages
      having been read or in any way marked as known by the cache.
      
      This means that the initial wait is done interruptibly rather than
      uninterruptibly.
      
      In addition, extra stats values are made available to show the number of ops
      cancelled and the number of cache space allocations interrupted.

      	C	Show objects that have a cookie
      	c	Show objects that don't have a cookie
      	B	Show objects that are busy

      SLOW_WORK: Allow a requeueable work item to sleep till the thread is needed · 3bde31a4
      David Howells 提交于
      Add a function to allow a requeueable work item to sleep till the thread
      processing it is needed by the slow-work facility to perform other work.
      
      Sometimes a work item can't progress immediately, but must wait for the
      completion of another work item that's currently being processed by another
      slow-work thread.
      
      In some circumstances, the waiting item could instead - theoretically - put
      itself back on the queue and yield its thread back to the slow-work facility,
      thus waiting till it gets processing time again before attempting to progress.
      This would allow other work items processing time on that thread.
      
      However, this only works if there is something on the queue for it to queue
      behind - otherwise it will just get a thread again immediately, and will end
      up cycling between the queue and the thread, eating up valuable CPU time.
      
      So, slow_work_sleep_till_thread_needed() is provided such that an item can put
      itself on a wait queue that will wake it up when the event it is actually
      interested in occurs, then call this function in lieu of calling schedule().
      
      This function will then sleep until either the item's event occurs or another
      work item appears on the queue.  If another work item is queued, but the
      item's event hasn't occurred, then the work item should requeue itself and
      yield the thread back to the slow-work facility by returning.
      
      This can be used by CacheFiles for an object that is being created on one
      thread to wait for an object being deleted on another thread where there is
      nothing on the queue for the creation to go and wait behind.  As soon as an
      item appears on the queue that could be given thread time instead, CacheFiles
      can stick the creating object back on the queue and return to the slow-work
      facility - assuming the object deletion didn't also complete.

      SLOW_WORK: Allow the owner of a work item to determine if it is queued or not · 31ba99d3
      David Howells 提交于
      Add a function (slow_work_is_queued()) to permit the owner of a work item to
      determine if the item is queued or not.
      
      The work item is counted as being queued if it is actually on the queue, not
      just if it is pending.  If it is executing and pending, then it is not on the
      queue, but will rather be put back on the queue when execution finishes.
      
      This permits a caller to quickly work out if it may be able to put another,
      dependent work item on the queue behind it, or whether it will have to wait
      till that is finished.
      
      This can be used by CacheFiles to work out whether the creation a new object
      can be immediately deferred when it has to wait for an old object to be
      deleted, or whether a wait must take place.  If a wait is necessary, then the
      slow-work thread can otherwise get blocked, preventing the deletion from
      taking place.
