Thomas Bogendoerfer 1faf7f25b2 [MIPS] IP32: Fix unexpected irq 71
It's possible that the crime interrupt handler is called without
pending interrupts (probably a hardware issue). To avoid irritating
"unexpected irq 71" messages, we now just ignore the spurious crime
interrupts.

  9p: fix O_APPEND in legacy mode
2008-07-03 09:28:44 -07:00
Mel Gorman 494de90098 Do not overwrite nr_zones on !NUMA when initialising zlcache_ptr
The non-NUMA case of build_zonelist_cache() would initialize the
zlcache_ptr for both node_zonelists[] to NULL.

Which is problematic, since non-NUMA only has a single node_zonelists[]
entry, and trying to zero the non-existent second one just overwrote the
nr_zones field instead.

As kswapd uses this value to determine what reclaim work is necessary,
the result is that kswapd never reclaims.  This causes processes to
stall frequently in low-memory situations as they always direct reclaim.
This patch initialises zlcache_ptr correctly.

Christoph Lameter 41d54d3bf8 slub: Do not use 192 byte sized cache if minimum alignment is 128 byte
The 192 byte cache is not necessary if we have a basic alignment of 128
byte. If it would be used then the 192 would be aligned to the next 128 byte
boundary which would result in another 256 byte cache. Two 256 kmalloc caches
cause sysfs to complain about a duplicate entry.

MIPS needs 128 byte aligned kmalloc caches and spits out warnings on boot without
this patch.

Eric Van Hensbergen 2e4bef41a0 9p: fix O_APPEND in legacy mode
The legacy protocol's open operation doesn't handle an append operation
(it is expected that the client take care of it).  We were incorrectly
passing the extended protocol's flag through even in legacy mode.  This
was reported in bugzilla report #10689.  This patch fixes the problem
by disallowing extended protocol open modes from being passed in legacy
mode and implemented append functionality on the client side by adding
a seek after the open.

Hugh Dickins 216705d272 x86: fix Intel Mac booting with EFI
Fedora reports that mem_init()'s zap_low_mappings(), extended to SMP in
61165d7a03 x86: fix app crashes after SMP
resume causes 32-bit Intel Mac machines to reboot very early when
booting with EFI.

The EFI code appears to manage low mappings for itself when needed; but
like many before it, confuses PSE with PAE.  So it has only been mapping
half the space it needed when PSE but not PAE.  This remained unnoticed
until we moved the SMP zap_low_mappings() before
efi_enter_virtual_mode().  Presumably could have been noticed years ago
if anyone ran a UP kernel on such machines?

Alex Chiang a13307cef8 PCI: acpiphp: cleanup notify handler on all root bridges
During the development of the physical PCI slot patch series, Gary Hade
kept on reporting strange oopses due to interactions between pci_slot
and acpiphp.

	http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/11/28/319

find_root_bridges() unconditionally installs
handle_hotplug_event_bridge() as an ACPI_SYSTEM_NOTIFY handler for all
root bridges.

However, during module cleanup, remove_bridge() will only remove the
notify handler iff the root bridge had a hot-pluggable slot directly
underneath. That is:

	root bridge -> hotplug slot

But, if the topology looks like either of the following:

	root bridge -> non-hotplug slot
	root bridge -> p2p bridge -> hotplug slot

Then we currently do not remove the notify handler from that root
bridge.

This can cause a kernel oops if we modprobe acpiphp later and it gets
loaded somewhere else in memory. If the root bridge then receives a
hotplug event, it will then attempt to call a stale, non-existent notify
handler and we blow up.

Much thanks goes to Gary Hade for his persistent debugging efforts.

Benjamin Li 99cb233d60 PCI: Limit VPD read/write lengths for Broadcom 5706, 5708, 5709 rev.
For Broadcom 5706, 5708, 5709 rev. A nics, any read beyond the
VPD end tag will hang the device.  This problem was initially
observed when a vpd entry was created in sysfs
('/sys/bus/pci/devices/<id>/vpd').   A read to this sysfs entry
will dump 32k of data.  Reading a full 32k will cause an access
beyond the VPD end tag causing the device to hang.  Once the device
is hung, the bnx2 driver will not be able to reset the device.
We believe that it is legal to read beyond the end tag and
therefore the solution is to limit the read/write length.

A majority of this patch is from Matthew Wilcox who gave code for
reworking the PCI vpd size information.  A PCI quirk added for the
Broadcom NIC's to limit the read/write's.

Ben Dooks 2709781be6 I2C: S3C2410: Check ACK on byte transmission
We should check for the reception of an ACK after transmitting each
data byte. The address send has been correctly checking this, but the
data write byte state should have also been checking for these failures.

As part of the same fix, we remove the ACK checking from the receive
path where it should not have been checking for an ACK which our hardware
was sending.

Gautham R Shenoy 8558f8f816 rcu: fix hotplug vs rcu race
Dhaval Giani reported this warning during cpu hotplug stress-tests:

|  [<c016fdff>] sys_close+0x5c/0x97

IMHO the warning is a spurious one.

cpu_online_map is updated by the _cpu_down() using stop_machine_run().
Since force_quiescent_state is invoked from irqs disabled section,
stop_machine_run() won't be executing while a cpu is executing
force_quiescent_state(). Hence the cpu_online_map is stable while we're
in the irq disabled section.

However, a cpu might have been offlined _just_ before we disabled irqs
while entering force_quiescent_state(). And rcu subsystem might not yet
have handled the CPU_DEAD notification, leading to the offlined cpu's
bit being set in the rcp->cpumask.

Hence cpumask = (rcp->cpumask & cpu_online_map) to prevent sending
smp_reschedule() to an offlined CPU.

Here's the timeline:

CPU_A						 CPU_B
--------------------------------------------------------------
cpu_down():					.
.					   	.
.						.
stop_machine(): /* disables preemption,		.
		 * and irqs */			.
.						.
.						.
take_cpu_down();				.
.						.
.						.
.						.
cpu_disable(); /*this removes cpu 		.
		*from cpu_online_map 		.
		*/				.
.						.
.						.
restart_machine(); /* enables irqs */		.
------WINDOW DURING WHICH rcp->cpumask is stale ---------------
.						call_rcu();
.						/* disables irqs here */
.						.force_quiescent_state();
.CPU_DEAD:					.for_each_cpu(rcp->cpumask)
.						.   smp_send_reschedule();
.						.
.						.   WARN_ON() for offlined CPU!
.
.
.
rcu_cpu_notify:
.
-------- WINDOW ENDS ------------------------------------------
rcu_offline_cpu() /* Which calls cpu_quiet()
		   * which removes
		   * cpu from rcp->cpumask.
		   */

If a new batch was started just before calling stop_machine_run(), the
"tobe-offlined" cpu is still present in rcp-cpumask.

During a cpu-offline, from take_cpu_down(), we queue an rt-prio idle
task as the next task to be picked by the scheduler. We also call
cpu_disable() which will disable any further interrupts and remove the
cpu's bit from the cpu_online_map.

Once the stop_machine_run() successfully calls take_cpu_down(), it calls
schedule(). That's the last time a schedule is called on the offlined
cpu, and hence the last time when rdp->passed_quiesc will be set to 1
through rcu_qsctr_inc().

But the cpu_quiet() will be on this cpu will be called only when the
next RCU_SOFTIRQ occurs on this CPU. So at this time, the offlined CPU
is still set in rcp->cpumask.

Now coming back to the idle_task which truely offlines the CPU, it does
check for a pending RCU and raises the softirq, since it will find
rdp->passed_quiesc to be 0 in this case. However, since the cpu is
offline I am not sure if the softirq will trigger on the CPU.

Even if it doesn't the rcu_offline_cpu() will find that rcp->completed
is not the same as rcp->cur, which means that our cpu could be holding
up the grace period progression. Hence we call cpu_quiet() and move
ahead.

But because of the window explained in the timeline, we could still have
a call_rcu() before the RCU subsystem executes it's CPU_DEAD
notification, and we send smp_send_reschedule() to offlined cpu while
trying to force the quiescent states. The appended patch adds comments
and prevents checking for offlined cpu everytime.

cpu_online_map is updated by the _cpu_down() using stop_machine_run().
Since force_quiescent_state is invoked from irqs disabled section,
stop_machine_run() won't be executing while a cpu is executing
force_quiescent_state(). Hence the cpu_online_map is stable while we're
in the irq disabled section.

Jens Axboe 18ce3751cc Properly notify block layer of sync writes
fsync_buffers_list() and sync_dirty_buffer() both issue async writes and
then immediately wait on them. Conceptually, that makes them sync writes
and we should treat them as such so that the IO schedulers can handle
them appropriately.

This patch fixes a write starvation issue that Lin Ming reported, where
xx is stuck for more than 2 minutes because of a large number of
synchronous IO in the system:

Lin Ming confirms that this patch fixes the issue. I've run tests with
it for the past week and no ill effects have been observed, so I'm
proposing it for inclusion into 2.6.26.

Divyesh Shah d585d0b9d7 block: Fix the starving writes bug in the anticipatory IO scheduler
AS scheduler alternates between issuing read and write batches. It does
the batch switch only after all requests from the previous batch are
completed.

When switching to a write batch, if there is an on-going read request,
it waits for its completion and indicates its intention of switching by
setting ad->changed_batch and the new direction but does not update the
batch_expire_time for the new write batch which it does in the case of
no previous pending requests.
On completion of the read request, it sees that we were waiting for the
switch and schedules work for kblockd right away and resets the
ad->changed_data flag.
Now when kblockd enters dispatch_request where it is expected to pick
up a write request, it in turn ends the write batch because the
batch_expire_timer was not updated and shows the expire timestamp for
the previous batch.

This results in the write starvation for all the cases where there is
the intention for switching to a write batch, but there is a previous
in-flight read request and the batch gets reverted to a read_batch
right away.

This also holds true in the reverse case (switching from a write batch
to a read batch with an in-flight write request).

I've checked that this bug exists on 2.6.11, 2.6.18, 2.6.24 and
linux-2.6-block git HEAD. I've tested the fix on x86 platforms with
SCSI drives where the driver asks for the next request while a current
request is in-flight.

This patch is based off linux-2.6-block git HEAD.

Bug reproduction:
A simple scenario which reproduces this bug is:
- dd if=/dev/hda3 of=/dev/null &
- lilo
   The lilo takes forever to complete.

This can also be reproduced fairly easily with the earlier dd and
another test
program doing msync().

The example test program below should print out a message after every
iteration
but it simply hangs forever. With this bugfix it makes forward progress.
