2011-07-09writeback: scale IO chunk size up to half device bandwidthWu Fengguang
Originally, MAX_WRITEBACK_PAGES was hard-coded to 1024 because of a concern of not holding I_SYNC for too long. (At least, that was the comment previously.) This doesn't make sense now because the only time we wait for I_SYNC is if we are calling sync or fsync, and in that case we need to write out all of the data anyway. Previously there may have been other code paths that waited on I_SYNC, but not any more. -- Theodore Ts'o So remove the MAX_WRITEBACK_PAGES constraint. The writeback pages will adapt to as large as the storage device can write within 500ms. XFS is observed to do IO completions in a batch, and the batch size is equal to the write chunk size. To avoid dirty pages to suddenly drop out of balance_dirty_pages()'s dirty control scope and create large fluctuations, the chunk size is also limited to half the control scope. The balance_dirty_pages() control scrope is [(background_thresh + dirty_thresh) / 2, dirty_thresh] which is by default [15%, 20%] of global dirty pages, whose range size is dirty_thresh / DIRTY_FULL_SCOPE. The adpative write chunk size will be rounded to the nearest 4MB boundary. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13930 CC: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu> CC: Dave Chinner <david@fromorbit.com> CC: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com> CC: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Signed-off-by: Wu Fengguang <fengguang.wu@intel.com>
2011-07-09writeback: introduce max-pause and pass-good dirty limitsWu Fengguang
The max-pause limit helps to keep the sleep time inside balance_dirty_pages() within MAX_PAUSE=200ms. The 200ms max sleep means per task rate limit of 8pages/200ms=160KB/s when dirty exceeded, which normally is enough to stop dirtiers from continue pushing the dirty pages high, unless there are a sufficient large number of slow dirtiers (eg. 500 tasks doing 160KB/s will still sum up to 80MB/s, exceeding the write bandwidth of a slow disk and hence accumulating more and more dirty pages). The pass-good limit helps to let go of the good bdi's in the presence of a blocked bdi (ie. NFS server not responding) or slow USB disk which for some reason build up a large number of initial dirty pages that refuse to go away anytime soon. For example, given two bdi's A and B and the initial state bdi_thresh_A = dirty_thresh / 2 bdi_thresh_B = dirty_thresh / 2 bdi_dirty_A = dirty_thresh / 2 bdi_dirty_B = dirty_thresh / 2 Then A get blocked, after a dozen seconds bdi_thresh_A = 0 bdi_thresh_B = dirty_thresh bdi_dirty_A = dirty_thresh / 2 bdi_dirty_B = dirty_thresh / 2 The (bdi_dirty_B < bdi_thresh_B) test is now useless and the dirty pages will be effectively throttled by condition (nr_dirty < dirty_thresh). This has two problems: (1) we lose the protections for light dirtiers (2) balance_dirty_pages() effectively becomes IO-less because the (bdi_nr_reclaimable > bdi_thresh) test won't be true. This is good for IO, but balance_dirty_pages() loses an important way to break out of the loop which leads to more spread out throttle delays. DIRTY_PASSGOOD_AREA can eliminate the above issues. The only problem is, DIRTY_PASSGOOD_AREA needs to be defined as 2 to fully cover the above example while this patch uses the more conservative value 8 so as not to surprise people with too many dirty pages than expected. The max-pause limit won't noticeably impact the speed dirty pages are knocked down when there is a sudden drop of global/bdi dirty thresholds. Because the heavy dirties will be throttled below 160KB/s which is slow enough. It does help to avoid long dirty throttle delays and especially will make light dirtiers more responsive.

2011-07-09writeback: introduce smoothed global dirty limitWu Fengguang
The start of a heavy weight application (ie. KVM) may instantly knock down determine_dirtyable_memory() if the swap is not enabled or full. global_dirty_limits() and bdi_dirty_limit() will in turn get global/bdi dirty thresholds that are _much_ lower than the global/bdi dirty pages. balance_dirty_pages() will then heavily throttle all dirtiers including the light ones, until the dirty pages drop below the new dirty thresholds. During this _deep_ dirty-exceeded state, the system may appear rather unresponsive to the users. About "deep" dirty-exceeded: task_dirty_limit() assigns 1/8 lower dirty threshold to heavy dirtiers than light ones, and the dirty pages will be throttled around the heavy dirtiers' dirty threshold and reasonably below the light dirtiers' dirty threshold. In this state, only the heavy dirtiers will be throttled and the dirty pages are carefully controlled to not exceed the light dirtiers' dirty threshold. However if the threshold itself suddenly drops below the number of dirty pages, the light dirtiers will get heavily throttled. So introduce global_dirty_limit for tracking the global dirty threshold with policies - follow downwards slowly - follow up in one shot global_dirty_limit can effectively mask out the impact of sudden drop of dirtyable memory. It will be used in the next patch for two new type of dirty limits. Note that the new dirty limits are not going to avoid throttling the light dirtiers, but could limit their sleep time to 200ms.

2011-07-09writeback: bdi write bandwidth estimationWu Fengguang
The estimation value will start from 100MB/s and adapt to the real bandwidth in seconds. It tries to update the bandwidth only when disk is fully utilized. Any inactive period of more than one second will be skipped. The estimated bandwidth will be reflecting how fast the device can writeout when _fully utilized_, and won't drop to 0 when it goes idle. The value will remain constant at disk idle time. At busy write time, if not considering fluctuations, it will also remain high unless be knocked down by possible concurrent reads that compete for the disk time and bandwidth with async writes. The estimation is not done purely in the flusher because there is no guarantee for write_cache_pages() to return timely to update bandwidth. The bdi->avg_write_bandwidth smoothing is very effective for filtering out sudden spikes, however may be a little biased in long term. The overheads are low because the bdi bandwidth update only occurs at 200ms intervals. The 200ms update interval is suitable, because it's not possible to get the real bandwidth for the instance at all, due to large fluctuations. The NFS commits can be as large as seconds worth of data. One XFS completion may be as large as half second worth of data if we are going to increase the write chunk to half second worth of data. In ext4, fluctuations with time period of around 5 seconds is observed. And there is another pattern of irregular periods of up to 20 seconds on SSD tests. That's why we are not only doing the estimation at 200ms intervals, but also averaging them over a period of 3 seconds and then go further to do another level of smoothing in avg_write_bandwidth.

2011-07-09writeback: make writeback_control.nr_to_write straightWu Fengguang
Pass struct wb_writeback_work all the way down to writeback_sb_inodes(), and initialize the struct writeback_control there. struct writeback_control is basically designed to control writeback of a single file, but we keep abuse it for writing multiple files in writeback_sb_inodes() and its callers. It immediately clean things up, e.g. suddenly wbc.nr_to_write vs work->nr_pages starts to make sense, and instead of saving and restoring pages_skipped in writeback_sb_inodes it can always start with a clean zero value. It also makes a neat IO pattern change: large dirty files are now written in the full 4MB writeback chunk size, rather than whatever remained quota in wbc->nr_to_write.

2011-07-08amba pl011: workaround for uart registers lockupShreshtha Kumar Sahu
This workaround aims to break the deadlock situation which raises during continuous transfer of data for long duration over uart with hardware flow control. It is observed that CTS interrupt cannot be cleared in uart interrupt register (ICR). Hence further transfer over uart gets blocked. It is seen that during such deadlock condition ICR don't get cleared even on multiple write. This leads pass_counter to decrease and finally reach zero. This can be taken as trigger point to run this UART_BT_WA. Workaround backups the register configuration, does soft reset of UART using BIT-0 of PRCC_K_SOFTRST_SET/CLEAR registers and restores the registers. This patch also provides support for uart init and exit function calls if present.

2011-07-08block: avoid building too big plug listShaohua Li
When I test fio script with big I/O depth, I found the total throughput drops compared to some relative small I/O depth. The reason is the thread accumulates big requests in its plug list and causes some delays (surely this depends on CPU speed). I thought we'd better have a threshold for requests. When a threshold reaches, this means there is no request merge and queue lock contention isn't severe when pushing per-task requests to queue, so the main advantages of blk plug don't exist. We can force a plug list flush in this case. With this, my test throughput actually increases and almost equals to small I/O depth. Another side effect is irq off time decreases in blk_flush_plug_list() for big I/O depth. The BLK_MAX_REQUEST_COUNT is choosen arbitarily, but 16 is efficiently to reduce lock contention to me. But I'm open here, 32 is ok in my test too. Signed-off-by: Shaohua Li <shaohua.li@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jaxboe@fusionio.com>

Add an FS-Cache helper to bulk uncache pages on an inode. This will only work for the circumstance where the pages in the cache correspond 1:1 with the pages attached to an inode's page cache. This is required for CIFS and NFS: When disabling inode cookie, we were returning the cookie and setting cifsi->fscache to NULL but failed to invalidate any previously mapped pages. This resulted in "Bad page state" errors and manifested in other kind of errors when running fsstress. Fix it by uncaching mapped pages when we disable the inode cookie. This patch should fix the following oops and "Bad page state" errors seen during fsstress testing. ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at fs/cachefiles/namei.c:201! invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP Pid: 5, comm: kworker/u:0 Not tainted 2.6.38.7-30.fc15.x86_64 #1 Bochs Bochs RIP: 0010: cachefiles_walk_to_object+0x436/0x745 [cachefiles] RSP: 0018:ffff88002ce6dd00 EFLAGS: 00010282 RAX: ffff88002ef165f0 RBX: ffff88001811f500 RCX: 0000000000000000 RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: 0000000000000100 RDI: 0000000000000282 RBP: ffff88002ce6dda0 R08: 0000000000000100 R09: ffffffff81b3a300 R10: 0000ffff00066c0a R11: 0000000000000003 R12: ffff88002ae54840 R13: ffff88002ae54840 R14: ffff880029c29c00 R15: ffff88001811f4b0 FS: 00007f394dd32720(0000) GS:ffff88002ef00000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 000000008005003b CR2: 00007fffcb62ddf8 CR3: 000000001825f000 CR4: 00000000000006e0 DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000ffff0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 Process kworker/u:0 (pid: 5, threadinfo ffff88002ce6c000, task ffff88002ce55cc0) Stack: 0000000000000246 ffff88002ce55cc0 ffff88002ce6dd58 ffff88001815dc00 ffff8800185246c0 ffff88001811f618 ffff880029c29d18 ffff88001811f380 ffff88002ce6dd50 ffffffff814757e4 ffff88002ce6dda0 ffffffff8106ac56 Call Trace: cachefiles_lookup_object+0x78/0xd4 [cachefiles] fscache_lookup_object+0x131/0x16d [fscache] fscache_object_work_func+0x1bc/0x669 [fscache] process_one_work+0x186/0x298 worker_thread+0xda/0x15d kthread+0x84/0x8c kernel_thread_helper+0x4/0x10 RIP cachefiles_walk_to_object+0x436/0x745 [cachefiles] ---[ end trace 1d481c9af1804caa ]--- I tested the uncaching by the following means: (1) Create a big file on my NFS server (104857600 bytes).

Well _count exists in two unionized structs but always has the same offset within the larger struct. Maybe ARM creates different offsets there for some reason?

2011-07-07genirq: replace irq_gc_ack() with {set,clr}_bit variants (fwd)Simon Guinot
This fixes a regression introduced by e59347a "arm: orion: Use generic irq chip". Depending on the device, interrupts acknowledgement is done by setting or by clearing a dedicated register. Replace irq_gc_ack() with some {set,clr}_bit variants allows to handle both cases. Note that this patch affects the following SoCs: Davinci, Samsung and Orion. Except for this last, the change is minor: irq_gc_ack() is just renamed into irq_gc_ack_set_bit(). For the Orion SoCs, the edge GPIO interrupts support is currently broken. irq_gc_ack() try to acknowledge a such interrupt by setting the corresponding cause register bit. The Orion GPIO device expect the opposite. To fix this issue, the irq_gc_ack_clr_bit() variant is used. Tested on Network Space v2.

2011-07-07ftrace: Fix regression of :mod:module function enablingSteven Rostedt
The new code that allows different utilities to pick and choose what functions they trace broke the :mod: hook that allows users to trace only functions of a particular module. The reason is that the :mod: hook bypasses the hash that is setup to allow individual users to trace their own functions and uses the global hash directly. But if the global hash has not been set up, it will cause a bug: echo '*:mod:radeon' > /sys/kernel/debug/set_ftrace_filter produces: [drm:drm_mode_getfb] *ERROR* invalid framebuffer id [drm:radeon_crtc_page_flip] *ERROR* failed to reserve new rbo buffer before flip BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffffff8160ec90 IP: [<ffffffff810d9136>] add_hash_entry+0x66/0xd0 PGD 1a05067 PUD 1a09063 PMD 80000000016001e1 Oops: 0003 [#1] SMP Jul 7 04:02:28 phyllis kernel: [55303.858604] CPU 1 Modules linked in: cryptd aes_x86_64 aes_generic binfmt_misc rfcomm bnep ip6table_filter hid radeon r8169 ahci libahci mii ttm drm_kms_helper drm video i2c_algo_bit intel_agp intel_gtt Pid: 10344, comm: bash Tainted: G WC 3.0.0-rc5 #1 Dell Inc.

2011-07-07skbuff: skb supports zero-copy buffersShirley Ma
This patch adds userspace buffers support in skb shared info. A new struct skb_ubuf_info is needed to maintain the userspace buffers argument and index, a callback is used to notify userspace to release the buffers once lower device has done DMA (Last reference to that skb has gone). If there is any userspace apps to reference these userspace buffers, then these userspaces buffers will be copied into kernel. This way we can prevent userspace apps from holding these userspace buffers too long. Use destructor_arg to point to the userspace buffer info; a new tx flags SKBTX_DEV_ZEROCOPY is added for zero-copy buffer check. Signed-off-by: Shirley Ma <xma@...ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2011-07-06cfg80211/nl80211: support GTK rekey offloadJohannes Berg
In certain circumstances, like WoWLAN scenarios, devices may implement (partial) GTK rekeying on the device to avoid waking up the host for it. In order to successfully go through GTK rekeying, the KEK, KCK and the replay counter are required. Add API to let the supplicant hand the parameters to the driver which may store it for future GTK rekey operations. Note that, of course, if GTK rekeying is done by the device, the EAP frame must not be passed up to userspace, instead a rekey event needs to be sent to let userspace update its replay counter.
