      x86, AMD: Fix ARAT feature setting again · 14fb57dc
      Borislav Petkov 提交于
      Trying to enable the local APIC timer on early K8 revisions
      uncovers a number of other issues with it, in conjunction with
      the C1E enter path on AMD. Fixing those causes much more churn
      and troubles than the benefit of using that timer brings so
      don't enable it on K8 at all, falling back to the original
      functionality the kernel had wrt to that.

      scsi: remove performance regression due to async queue run · 9937a5e2
      Jens Axboe 提交于
      Commit c21e6beb removed our queue request_fn re-enter
      protection, and defaulted to always running the queues from
      kblockd to be safe. This was a known potential slow down,
      but should be safe.
      
      Unfortunately this is causing big performance regressions for
      some, so we need to improve this logic. Looking into the details
      of the re-enter, the real issue is on requeue of requests.
      
      Requeue of requests upon seeing a BUSY condition from the device
      ends up re-running the queue, causing traces like this:
      
      scsi_request_fn()
              scsi_dispatch_cmd()
                      scsi_queue_insert()
                              __scsi_queue_insert()
                                      scsi_run_queue()
      					scsi_request_fn()
      						...
      
      potentially causing the issue we want to avoid. So special
      case the requeue re-run of the queue, but improve it to offload
      the entire run of local queue and starved queue from a single
      workqueue callback. This is a lot better than potentially
      kicking off a workqueue run for each device seen.
      
      This also fixes the issue of the local device going into recursion,
      since the above mentioned commit never moved that queue run out
      of line.

      PCI: Clear bridge resource flags if requested size is 0 · 93d2175d
      Yinghai Lu 提交于
      During pci remove/rescan testing found:

        pcieport: probe of 0000:c0:03.0 failed with error -22
      
      This bug was caused by commit c8adf9a3 ("PCI: pre-allocate
      additional resources to devices only after successful allocation of
      essential resources.")
      
      After that commit, pci_hotplug_io_size is changed to additional_io_size
      from minium size.  So it will not go through resource_size(res) != 0
      path, and will not be reset.
      
      The root cause is: pci_bridge_check_ranges will set RESOURCE_IO flag for
      pci bridge, and later if children do not need IO resource.  those bridge
      resources will not need to be allocated.  but flags is still there.
      that will confuse the the pci_enable_bridges later.
      
      related code:
      
         static void assign_requested_resources_sorted(struct resource_list *head,
                                          struct resource_list_x *fail_head)
         {
                 struct resource *res;
                 struct resource_list *list;
                 int idx;
      
                 for (list = head->next; list; list = list->next) {
                         res = list->res;
                         idx = res - &list->dev->resource[0];
                         if (resource_size(res) && pci_assign_resource(list->dev, idx)) {
         ...
                                 reset_resource(res);
                         }
                 }
         }
      
      At last, We have to clear the flags in pbus_size_mem/io when requested
      size == 0 and !add_head.  becasue this case it will not go through
      adjust_resources_sorted().
      
      Just make size1 = size0 when !add_head. it will make flags get cleared.
      
      At the same time when requested size == 0, add_size != 0, will still
      have in head and add_list.  because we do not clear the flags for it.
      
      After this, we will get right result:

      tick: Clear broadcast active bit when switching to oneshot · 07f4beb0
      Thomas Gleixner 提交于
      The first cpu which switches from periodic to oneshot mode switches
      also the broadcast device into oneshot mode. The broadcast device
      serves as a backup for per cpu timers which stop in deeper
      C-states. To avoid starvation of the cpus which might be in idle and
      depend on broadcast mode it marks the other cpus as broadcast active
      and sets the brodcast expiry value of those cpus to the next tick.
      
      The oneshot mode broadcast bit for the other cpus is sticky and gets
      only cleared when those cpus exit idle. If a cpu was not idle while
      the bit got set in consequence the bit prevents that the broadcast
      device is armed on behalf of that cpu when it enters idle for the
      first time after it switched to oneshot mode.
      
      In most cases that goes unnoticed as one of the other cpus has usually
      a timer pending which keeps the broadcast device armed with a short
      timeout. Now if the only cpu which has a short timer active has the
      bit set then the broadcast device will not be armed on behalf of that
      cpu and will fire way after the expected timer expiry. In the case of
      Christians bug report it took ~145 seconds which is about half of the
      wrap around time of HPET (the limit for that device) due to the fact
      that all other cpus had no timers armed which expired before the 145
      seconds timeframe.
      
      The solution is simply to clear the broadcast active bit
      unconditionally when a cpu switches to oneshot mode after the first
      cpu switched the broadcast device over. It's not idle at that point
      otherwise it would not be executing that code.
      
      [ I fundamentally hate that broadcast crap. Why the heck thought some
        folks that when going into deep idle it's a brilliant concept to
        switch off the last device which brings the cpu back from that
        state? ]

      vmxnet3: Fix inconsistent LRO state after initialization · ebde6f8a
      Thomas Jarosch 提交于
      During initialization of vmxnet3, the state of LRO
      gets out of sync with netdev->features.
      
      This leads to very poor TCP performance in a IP forwarding
      setup and is hitting many VMware users.
      
      Simplified call sequence:
      1. vmxnet3_declare_features() initializes "adapter->lro" to true.
      
      2. The kernel automatically disables LRO if IP forwarding is enabled,
      so vmxnet3_set_flags() gets called. This also updates netdev->features.
      
      3. Now vmxnet3_setup_driver_shared() is called. "adapter->lro" is still
      set to true and LRO gets enabled again, even though
      netdev->features shows it's disabled.
      
      Fix it by updating "adapter->lro", too.
      
      The private vmxnet3 adapter flags are scheduled for removal
      in net-next, see commit a0d2730c
      "net: vmxnet3: convert to hw_features".
      
      Patch applies to 2.6.37 / 2.6.38 and 2.6.39-rc6.
