| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix a possible though highly unlikely deadlock: Thread A: Thread B: - acquire mmap_sem - dv1394_ioctl/read/write() - dv1394_mmap() - acquire video->mtx - acquire video->mtx - copy_to/from_user(), possible page fault: acquire mmap_sem The simplest fix is to use mutex_trylock() instead of mutex_lock() in dv1394_mmap(). This changes the behavior under contention in a way which is visible to userspace clients. However, my guess is that no clients exist which use mmap vs. ioctl/read/write on the dv1394 character device file interface in concurrent threads.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Regression in 2.6.28-rc1: When I added the new state_mutex which prevents corruption of raw1394's internal state when accessed by multithreaded client applications, the following possible though highly unlikely deadlock slipped in: Thread A: Thread B: - acquire mmap_sem - raw1394_write() or raw1394_ioctl() - raw1394_mmap() - acquire state_mutex - acquire state_mutex - copy_to/from_user(), possible page fault: acquire mmap_sem The simplest fix is to use mutex_trylock() instead of mutex_lock() in raw1394_mmap(). This changes the behavior under contention in a way which is visible to userspace clients. However, since multithreaded access was entirely buggy before state_mutex was added and libraw1394's documentation advised application programmers to use a handle only in a single thread, this change in behaviour should not be an issue in practice at all. Since we have to use mutex_trylock() in raw1394_mmap() regardless whether /dev/raw1394 was opened with O_NONBLOCK or not, we now use mutex_trylock() unconditionally everywhere for state_mutex, just to have consistent behavior.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch (as1159b) changes the timeout routines in the block core to use round_jiffies_up(). There's no point in rounding the timer deadline down, since if it expires too early we will have to restart it. The patch also removes some unnecessary tests when a request is removed from the queue's timer list.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 0762b8bde9729f10f8e6249809660ff2ec3ad735 moved disk_get_part() in front of recursive get on the whole disk, which caused removable devices to try disk_get_part() before rescanning after a new media is inserted, which might fail legit open attempts or give the old partition. This patch fixes the problem by moving disk_get_part() after __blkdev_get() on the whole disk. This problem was spotted by Borislav Petkov.

| * | generic-ipi: fix the smp_mb() placementSuresh Siddha2008-11-061-6/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | smp_mb() is needed (to make the memory operations visible globally) before sending the ipi on the sender and the receiver (on Alpha atleast) needs smp_read_barrier_depends() in the handler before reading the call_single_queue list in a lock-free fashion. On x86, x2apic mode register accesses for sending IPI's don't have serializing semantics. So the need for smp_mb() before sending the IPI becomes more critical in x2apic mode. Remove the unnecessary smp_mb() in csd_flag_wait(), as the presence of that smp_mb() doesn't mean anything on the sender, when the ipi receiver is not doing any thing special (like memory fence) after clearing the CSD_FLAG_WAIT.

| * | block: add timer on blkdev_dequeue_request() not elv_next_request()Tejun Heo2008-11-061-6/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Block queue supports two usage models - one where block driver peeks at the front of queue using elv_next_request(), processes it and finishes it and the other where block driver peeks at the front of queue, dequeue the request using blkdev_dequeue_request() and finishes it. The latter is more flexible as it allows the driver to process multiple commands concurrently. These two inconsistent usage models affect the block layer implementation confusing. For some, elv_next_request() is considered the issue point while others consider blkdev_dequeue_request() the issue point. Till now the inconsistency mostly affect only accounting, so it didn't really break anything seriously; however, with block layer timeout, this inconsistency hits hard. Block layer considers elv_next_request() the issue point and adds timer but SCSI layer thinks it was just peeking and when the request can't process the command right away, it's just left there without further processing. This makes the request dangling on the timer list and, when the timer goes off, the request which the SCSI layer and below think is still on the block queue ends up in the EH queue, causing various problems - EH hang (failed count goes over busy count and EH never wakes up), WARN_ON() and oopses as low level driver trying to handle the unknown command, etc. depending on the timing. As SCSI midlayer is the only user of block layer timer at the moment, moving blk_add_timer() to elv_dequeue_request() fixes the problem; however, this two usage models definitely need to be cleaned up in the future.

The bug is caused by the calculation of the hash table size which tries to compute sector_div(sz, base) with "base" being zero due to the small size of the component devices of the array. Fix this by requiring the hash spacing to be at least one which implies that also "base" is non-zero. This bug has existed since about 2.6.14.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It turns out that it is only safe to call blkdev_ioctl when the device is actually open (as ->bd_disk is set to NULL on last close). And it is quite possible for do_md_stop to be called when the device is not open. So discard the call to blkdev_ioctl(BLKRRPART) which was added in commit 934d9c23b4c7e31840a895ba4b7e88d6413c81f3 It is just as easy to call this ioctl from userspace when needed (on mdadm -S) so leave it out of the kernel Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

Turn on SD_WAKE_AFFINE which was off on x86 NUMA - there's no reason why we would not want to have wakeup affinity across nodes as well. (we already do this in the standard NUMA template.) lat_ctx on a NUMA box is particularly happy about this change: before: | phoenix:~/l> ./lat_ctx -s 0 2 | "size=0k ovr=2.60 | 2 5.70 after: | phoenix:~/l> ./lat_ctx -s 0 2 | "size=0k ovr=2.65 | 2 2.07 a 2.75x speedup. pipe-test is similarly happy about it too: | phoenix:~/sched-tests> ./pipe-test | 18.26 usecs/loop. | 14.70 usecs/loop. | 14.38 usecs/loop. | 10.55 usecs/loop. # +WAKE_AFFINE on domain0+domain1 | 8.63 usecs/loop. | 8.59 usecs/loop. | 9.03 usecs/loop. | 8.94 usecs/loop. | 8.96 usecs/loop. | 8.63 usecs/loop. Also: - disable SD_BALANCE_NEWIDLE on NUMA and SMP domains (keep it for siblings) - enable SD_WAKE_BALANCE on SMP domains Sysbench+postgresql improves all around the board, quite significantly: .28-rc3-11474e2c .28-rc3-11474e2c-tune ------------------------------------------------- 1: 571 688 +17.08% 2: 1236 1206 -2.55% 4: 2381 2642 +9.89% 8: 4958 5164 +3.99% 16: 9580 9574 -0.07% 32: 7128 8118 +12.20% 64: 7342 8266 +11.18% 128: 7342 8064 +8.95% 256: 7519 7884 +4.62% 512: 7350 7731 +4.93% ------------------------------------------------- SUM: 55412 59341 +6.62% So it's a win both for the runup portion, the peak area and the tail.

This allows co-waking producer/consumer task pairs to run ahead of the pack for a little while, keeping their cache warm. Without this, we would interleave all pairs, utterly trashing the cache. This patch introduces a backward looking buddy, that is, suppose that in the above scenario, the consumer preempts the producer before it can go to sleep, we will therefore miss the wakeup from consumer to producer (its already running, after all), breaking the cycle and reverting to the cache-trashing interleaved schedule pattern. The backward buddy will try to schedule back to the task that woke us up in case the forward buddy is not available, under the assumption that the last task will be the one with the most cache hot task around barring current. This will basically allow a task to continue after it got preempted. In order to avoid starvation, we allow either buddy to get wakeup_gran ahead of the pack.

It should take a 'u64 ns' argument, but rather takes an 'unsigned long ns' argument - which might only be 32-bits. On FRV, this results in the kernel locking up because hrtimer_forward() passes the result of a 64-bit multiplication to this function, for which the compiler discards the top 32-bits - something that didn't happen when ktime_add_ns() was called directly.

These effectively match the word address 0x555 and 0x2aa, except the latter has its low bit set. Most chips don't care about the value of the 'A-1' pin in x8 mode, but some -- like the ST M29W320D -- do. So we need to be careful to set it where appropriate. cfi_send_gen_cmd is only ever passed addresses where the low byte is 0x00, 0x55 or 0xaa. Of those, only addresses ending 0xaa are affected by this patch, by masking in the extra low bit when the device is known to be in compatibility mode. [dwmw2: Do it only when (cmd_ofs & 0xff) == 0xaa] v4: Fix stupid typo in cfi_build_cmd_addr that failed to compile I'm writing this patch way to late at night. v3: Bring all of the work back into cfi_build_cmd_addr including calling of map_bankwidth(map) and cfi_interleave(cfi) So every caller doesn't need to. v2: Only modified the address if we our device_type is larger than our bus width.
