2011-08-22drivers:misc:ti-st: platform hooks for chip statesPavan Savoy
Certain platform specific or Host-WiLink Interface specific actions would be required to be taken when the chip is being enabled and after the chip is disabled such as configuration of the mux modes for the GPIO of host connected to the nshutdown of the chip or relinquishing UART after the chip is disabled. Similar actions can also be taken when the chip is in deep sleep or when the chip is awake. Performance enhancements such as configuring the host to run faster when chip is awake and slower when chip is asleep can also be made here.

2011-08-22target: Make standard INQUIRY return 'not connected' for tpg_virt_lun0Nicholas Bellinger
This patch changes target_emulate_inquiry_std() to set the 'not connected' (0x35) bit in standard INQUIRY response data when we are processing a request to a virtual LUN=0 mapping from struct se_device *g_lun0_dev that have been setup for us in transport_lookup_cmd_lun(). This addresses an issue where qla2xxx FC clients need to be able to create demo-mode I_T FC Nexuses by default, but should not be exposing the default set of TPG LUNs to all FC clients. This includes adding an new optional target_core_fabric_ops->tpg_check_demo_mode_login_only() caller to allow demo_mode nexuses to skip the old default of bulding a demo-mode MappedLUNs list via core_tpg_add_node_to_devs().

2011-08-21regmap: Allow drivers to specify register defaultsMark Brown
It is useful for the register cache code to be able to specify the default values for the device registers. The major use is when restoring the register cache after suspend, knowing the register defaults allows us to skip registers that are at their default values when we resume which can be a substantial win on larger modern devices. For some devices (mostly older ones) the hardware does not support readback so the only way we can know the values is from code and so initializing the cache with default values makes it much easier for drivers work with read/modify/write updates.

2011-08-19locks: fix tracking of inprogress lease breaksJ. Bruce Fields
We currently use a bit in fl_flags to record whether a lease is being broken, and set fl_type to the type (RDLCK or UNLCK) that it will eventually have. This means that once the lease break starts, we forget what the lease's type *used* to be. Breaking a read lease will then result in blocking read opens, even though there's no conflict--because the lease type is now F_UNLCK and we can no longer tell whether it was previously a read or write lease. So, instead keep fl_type as the original type (the type which we enforce), and keep track of whether we're unlocking or merely downgrading by replacing the single FL_INPROGRESS flag by FL_UNLOCK_PENDING and FL_DOWNGRADE_PENDING flags. To get this right we also need to track separate downgrade and break times, to handle the case where a write-leased file gets conflicting opens first for read, then later for write. (I first considered just eliminating the downgrade behavior completely--nfsv4 doesn't need it, and nobody as far as I can tell actually uses it currently--but Jeremy Allison tells me that Windows oplocks do behave this way, so Samba will probably use this some day.)

2011-08-19slub: per cpu cache for partial pagesChristoph Lameter
Allow filling out the rest of the kmem_cache_cpu cacheline with pointers to partial pages. The partial page list is used in slab_free() to avoid per node lock taking. In __slab_alloc() we can then take multiple partial pages off the per node partial list in one go reducing node lock pressure. We can also use the per cpu partial list in slab_alloc() to avoid scanning partial lists for pages with free objects. The main effect of a per cpu partial list is that the per node list_lock is taken for batches of partial pages instead of individual ones. Potential future enhancements: 1. The pickup from the partial list could be perhaps be done without disabling interrupts with some work. The free path already puts the page into the per cpu partial list without disabling interrupts. 2. __slab_free() may have some code paths that could use optimization.

2011-08-19squeeze max-pause area and drop pass-good areaWu Fengguang
Revert the pass-good area introduced in ffd1f609ab10 ("writeback: introduce max-pause and pass-good dirty limits") and make the max-pause area smaller and safe. This fixes ~30% performance regression in the ext3 data=writeback fio_mmap_randwrite_64k/fio_mmap_randrw_64k test cases, where there are 12 JBOD disks, on each disk runs 8 concurrent tasks doing reads+writes. Using deadline scheduler also has a regression, but not that big as CFQ, so this suggests we have some write starvation. The test logs show that - the disks are sometimes under utilized - global dirty pages sometimes rush high to the pass-good area for several hundred seconds, while in the mean time some bdi dirty pages drop to very low value (bdi_dirty << bdi_thresh). Then suddenly the global dirty pages dropped under global dirty threshold and bdi_dirty rush very high (for example, 2 times higher than bdi_thresh). During which time balance_dirty_pages() is not called at all. So the problems are 1) The random writes progress so slow that they break the assumption of the max-pause logic that "8 pages per 200ms is typically more than enough to curb heavy dirtiers". 2) The max-pause logic ignored task_bdi_thresh and thus opens the possibility for some bdi's to over dirty pages, leading to (bdi_dirty >> bdi_thresh) and then (bdi_thresh >> bdi_dirty) for others. 3) The higher max-pause/pass-good thresholds somehow leads to the bad swing of dirty pages. The fix is to allow the task to slightly dirty over task_bdi_thresh, but no way to exceed bdi_dirty and/or global dirty_thresh. Tests show that it fixed the JBOD regression completely (both behavior and performance), while still being able to cut down large pause times in balance_dirty_pages() for single-disk cases.

2011-08-16ethtool: Correct description of 'max_coalesced_frames' fieldsBen Hutchings
The current descriptions state that these fields specify 'How many packets to delay ... after a packet ...' which implies that the hardware should wait for (max_coalesced_frames + 1) completions before generating an interrupt. It is also stated that setting both this field and the corresponding 'coalesce_usecs' field to 0 is invalid. Together, this implies that the hardware must always be configured to delay a completion IRQ for at least 1 usec or 1 more completion. I believe that the addition of 1 is not intended, and David Miller confirms that the original implementation (in tg3) does not do this.

2011-08-15block: fix flush machinery for stacking drivers with differring flush flagsJeff Moyer
Commit ae1b1539622fb46e51b4d13b3f9e5f4c713f86ae, block: reimplement FLUSH/FUA to support merge, introduced a performance regression when running any sort of fsyncing workload using dm-multipath and certain storage (in our case, an HP EVA). The test I ran was fs_mark, and it dropped from ~800 files/sec on ext4 to ~100 files/sec. It turns out that dm-multipath always advertised flush+fua support, and passed commands on down the stack, where those flags used to get stripped off. The above commit changed that behavior: static inline struct request *__elv_next_request(struct request_queue *q) { struct request *rq; while (1) { - while (!list_empty(&q->queue_head)) { + if (!list_empty(&q->queue_head)) { rq = list_entry_rq(q->queue_head.next); - if (!(rq->cmd_flags & (REQ_FLUSH | REQ_FUA)) || - (rq->cmd_flags & REQ_FLUSH_SEQ)) - return rq; - rq = blk_do_flush(q, rq); - if (rq) - return rq; + return rq; } Note that previously, a command would come in here, have REQ_FLUSH|REQ_FUA set, and then get handed off to blk_do_flush: struct request *blk_do_flush(struct request_queue *q, struct request *rq) { unsigned int fflags = q->flush_flags; /* may change, cache it */ bool has_flush = fflags & REQ_FLUSH, has_fua = fflags & REQ_FUA; bool do_preflush = has_flush && (rq->cmd_flags & REQ_FLUSH); bool do_postflush = has_flush && !has_fua && (rq->cmd_flags & REQ_FUA); unsigned skip = 0; ... if (blk_rq_sectors(rq) && !do_preflush && !do_postflush) { rq->cmd_flags &= ~REQ_FLUSH; if (!has_fua) rq->cmd_flags &= ~REQ_FUA; return rq; } So, the flush machinery was bypassed in such cases (q->flush_flags == 0 && rq->cmd_flags & (REQ_FLUSH|REQ_FUA)). Now, however, we don't get into the flush machinery at all. Instead, __elv_next_request just hands a request with flush and fua bits set to the scsi_request_fn, even if the underlying request_queue does not support flush or fua. The agreed upon approach is to fix the flush machinery to allow stacking. While this isn't used in practice (since there is only one request-based dm target, and that target will now reflect the flush flags of the underlying device), it does future-proof the solution, and make it function as designed. In order to make this work, I had to add a field to the struct request, inside the flush structure (to store the original req->end_io). Shaohua had suggested overloading the union with rb_node and completion_data, but the completion data is used by device mapper and can also be used by other drivers. So, I didn't see a way around the additional field. I tested this patch on an HP EVA with both ext4 and xfs, and it recovers the lost performance. Comments and other testers, as always, are appreciated. Cheers, Jeff Signed-off-by: Jeff Moyer <jmoyer@redhat.com> Acked-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jaxboe@fusionio.com>

2011-08-14sched: Accumulate per-cfs_rq cpu usage and charge against bandwidthPaul Turner
Account bandwidth usage on the cfs_rq level versus the task_groups to which they belong. Whether we are tracking bandwidth on a given cfs_rq is maintained under cfs_rq->runtime_enabled. cfs_rq's which belong to a bandwidth constrained task_group have their runtime accounted via the update_curr() path, which withdraws bandwidth from the global pool as desired. Updates involving the global pool are currently protected under cfs_bandwidth->lock, local runtime is protected by rq->lock. This patch only assigns and tracks quota, no action is taken in the case that cfs_rq->runtime_used exceeds cfs_rq->runtime_assigned.

2011-08-13af_iucv: add HiperSockets transportUrsula Braun
The current transport mechanism for af_iucv is the z/VM offered communications facility IUCV. To provide equivalent support when running Linux in an LPAR, HiperSockets transport is added to the AF_IUCV address family. It requires explicit binding of an AF_IUCV socket to a HiperSockets device. A new packet_type ETH_P_AF_IUCV is announced. An af_iucv specific transport header is defined preceding the skb data. A small protocol is implemented for connecting and for flow control/congestion management.
