2011-03-04libceph: fix msgr backoffSage Weil
With commit f363e45f we replaced a bunch of hacky workqueue mutual exclusion logic with the WQ_NON_REENTRANT flag. One pieces of fallout is that the exponential backoff breaks in certain cases: * con_work attempts to connect. * we get an immediate failure, and the socket state change handler queues immediate work. * con_work calls con_fault, we decide to back off, but can't queue delayed work. In this case, we add a BACKOFF bit to make con_work reschedule delayed work next time it runs (which should be immediately). Signed-off-by: Sage Weil <sage@newdream.net>

2011-03-04Merge branch 'for-linus' of ../linux-2.6-block into block-for-2.6.39/coreTejun Heo
This merge creates two set of conflicts. One is simple context conflicts caused by removal of throtl_scheduled_delayed_work() in for-linus and removal of throtl_shutdown_timer_wq() in for-2.6.39/core. The other is caused by commit 255bb490c8 (block: blk-flush shouldn't call directly into q->request_fn() __blk_run_queue()) in for-linus crashing with FLUSH reimplementation in for-2.6.39/core. The conflict isn't trivial but the resolution is straight-forward. * __blk_run_queue() calls in flush_end_io() and flush_data_end_io() should be called with @force_kblockd set to %true. * elv_insert() in blk_kick_flush() should use %ELEVATOR_INSERT_REQUEUE. Both changes are to avoid invoking ->request_fn() directly from request completion path and closely match the changes in the commit 255bb490c8. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

2011-03-04perf: Add support for supplementary event registersAndi Kleen
Change logs against Andi's original version: - Extends perf_event_attr:config to config{,1,2} (Peter Zijlstra) - Fixed a major event scheduling issue. There cannot be a ref++ on an event that has already done ref++ once and without calling put_constraint() in between. (Stephane Eranian) - Use thread_cpumask for percore allocation. (Lin Ming) - Use MSR names in the extra reg lists. (Lin Ming) - Remove redundant "c = NULL" in intel_percore_constraints - Fix comment of perf_event_attr::config1 Intel Nehalem/Westmere have a special OFFCORE_RESPONSE event that can be used to monitor any offcore accesses from a core. This is a very useful event for various tunings, and it's also needed to implement the generic LLC-* events correctly. Unfortunately this event requires programming a mask in a separate register. And worse this separate register is per core, not per CPU thread. This patch: - Teaches perf_events that OFFCORE_RESPONSE needs extra parameters. The extra parameters are passed by user space in the perf_event_attr::config1 field. - Adds support to the Intel perf_event core to schedule per core resources. This adds fairly generic infrastructure that can be also used for other per core resources. The basic code has is patterned after the similar AMD northbridge constraints code.

2011-03-03LSM: Pass -o remount options to the LSMEric Paris
The VFS mount code passes the mount options to the LSM. The LSM will remove options it understands from the data and the VFS will then pass the remaining options onto the underlying filesystem. This is how options like the SELinux context= work. The problem comes in that -o remount never calls into LSM code. So if you include an LSM specific option it will get passed to the filesystem and will cause the remount to fail. An example of where this is a problem is the 'seclabel' option. The SELinux LSM hook will print this word in /proc/mounts if the filesystem is being labeled using xattrs. If you pass this word on mount it will be silently stripped and ignored. But if you pass this word on remount the LSM never gets called and it will be passed to the FS. The FS doesn't know what seclabel means and thus should fail the mount. For example an ext3 fs mounted over loop # mount -o loop /tmp/fs /mnt/tmp # cat /proc/mounts | grep /mnt/tmp /dev/loop0 /mnt/tmp ext3 rw,seclabel,relatime,errors=continue,barrier=0,data=ordered 0 0 # mount -o remount /mnt/tmp mount: /mnt/tmp not mounted already, or bad option # dmesg EXT3-fs (loop0): error: unrecognized mount option "seclabel" or missing value This patch passes the remount mount options to an new LSM hook.

2011-03-03blktrace: Remove blk_fill_rwbs_rq.Tao Ma
If we enable trace events to trace block actions, We use blk_fill_rwbs_rq to analyze the corresponding actions in request's cmd_flags, but we only choose the minor 2 bits from it, so most of other flags(e.g, REQ_SYNC) are missing. For example, with a sync write we get: write_test-2409 [001] 160.013869: block_rq_insert: 3,64 W 0 () 258135 + = 8 [write_test] Since now we have integrated the flags of both bio and request, it is safe to pass rq->cmd_flags directly to blk_fill_rwbs and blk_fill_rwbs_rq isn't needed any more. With this patch, after a sync write we get: write_test-2417 [000] 226.603878: block_rq_insert: 3,64 WS 0 () 258135 += 8 [write_test] Signed-off-by: Tao Ma <boyu.mt@taobao.com> Acked-by: Jeff Moyer <jmoyer@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jaxboe@fusionio.com>

2011-03-02block: Move blk_throtl_exit() call to blk_cleanup_queue()Vivek Goyal
Move blk_throtl_exit() in blk_cleanup_queue() as blk_throtl_exit() is written in such a way that it needs queue lock. In blk_release_queue() there is no gurantee that ->queue_lock is still around. Initially blk_throtl_exit() was in blk_cleanup_queue() but Ingo reported one problem. https://lkml.org/lkml/2010/10/23/86 And a quick fix moved blk_throtl_exit() to blk_release_queue(). commit 7ad58c028652753814054f4e3ac58f925e7343f4 Author: Jens Axboe <jaxboe@fusionio.com> Date: Sat Oct 23 20:40:26 2010 +0200 block: fix use-after-free bug in blk throttle code This patch reverts above change and does not try to shutdown the throtl work in blk_sync_queue(). By avoiding call to throtl_shutdown_timer_wq() from blk_sync_queue(), we should also avoid the problem reported by Ingo. blk_sync_queue() seems to be used only by md driver and it seems to be using it to make sure q->unplug_fn is not called as md registers its own unplug functions and it is about to free up the data structures used by unplug_fn(). Block throttle does not call back into unplug_fn() or into md. So there is no need to cancel blk throttle work. In fact I think cancelling block throttle work is bad because it might happen that some bios are throttled and scheduled to be dispatched later with the help of pending work and if work is cancelled, these bios might never be dispatched. Block layer also uses blk_sync_queue() during blk_cleanup_queue() and blk_release_queue() time. That should be safe as we are also calling blk_throtl_exit() which should make sure all the throttling related data structures are cleaned up.

2011-03-02libata: separate error handler into usable componentsJames Bottomley
Right at the moment, the libata error handler is incredibly monolithic. This makes it impossible to use from composite drivers like libsas and ipr which have to handle error themselves in the first instance. The essence of the change is to split the monolithic error handler into two components: one which handles a queue of ata commands for processing and the other which handles the back end of readying a port. This allows the upper error handler fine grained control in calling libsas functions (and making sure they only get called for ATA commands whose lower errors have been fixed up).

2011-03-01blk-throttle: Do not use kblockd workqueue for throtl workVivek Goyal
o Dominik Klein reported a system hang issue while doing some blkio throttling testing. https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/2/24/173 o Some tracing revealed that CFQ was not dispatching any more jobs as queue unplug was not happening. And queue unplug was not happening because unplug work was not being called as there was one throttling work on same cpu which as not finished yet. And throttling work had not finished as it was tyring to dispatch a bio to CFQ but all the request descriptors were consume to it was put to sleep. o So basically it is a cyclic dependecny between CFQ unplug work and throtl dispatch work. Tejun suggested that use separate workqueue for such cases. o This patch uses a separate workqueue for throttle related work and does not rely on kblockd workqueue anymore.

Architecture code needs to select CONFIG_IRQ_FORCED_THREADING after marking the interrupts which cant be threaded IRQF_NO_THREAD. All interrupts which have IRQF_TIMER set are implict marked IRQF_NO_THREAD. Also all PER_CPU interrupts are excluded. Forced threading hard interrupts also forces all soft interrupt handling into thread context. When enabled it might slow down things a bit, but for debugging problems in interrupt code it's a reasonable penalty as it does not immediately crash and burn the machine when an interrupt handler is buggy.
