Current versions of ipvsadm include "/usr/src/linux/include/net/ip_vs.h"
directly. This file also contains kernel-only definitions. Normally, public
definitions should live in include/linux, so this patch moves the
definitions shared with userspace to a new file, "include/linux/ip_vs.h".
This also removes the unused NFC_IPVS_PROPERTY bitmask, which was once
used to point into skb->nfcache.
To make old ipvsadms still compile with this, the old header file includes
the new one.
Thanks to Dave Miller and Horms for noting/adding the missing Kbuild entry
for the new header file.

When support for multiple TX queues were added, the
netif_tx_lock() routines we converted to iterate over
all TX queues and grab each queue's spinlock.
This causes heartburn for lockdep and it's not a healthy
thing to do with lots of TX queues anyways.
So modify this to use a top-level lock and a "frozen"
state for the individual TX queues.

When we traverse the graph, either forwards or backwards, we
are interested in whether a certain property exists somewhere
in a node reachable in the graph.
Therefore it is never necessary to traverse through a node more
than once to get a correct answer to the given query.
Take advantage of this property using a global ID counter so that we
need not clear all the markers in all the lock_class entries before
doing a traversal. A new ID is choosen when we start to traverse, and
we continue through a lock_class only if it's ID hasn't been marked
with the new value yet.
This short-circuiting is essential especially for high CPU count
systems. The scheduler has a runqueue per cpu, and needs to take
two runqueue locks at a time, which leads to long chains of
backwards and forwards subgraphs from these runqueue lock nodes.
Without the short-circuit implemented here, a graph traversal on
a runqueue lock can take up to (1 << (N - 1)) checks on a system
with N cpus.
For anything more than 16 cpus or so, lockdep will eventually bring
the machine to a complete standstill.

Found an interactivity problem on a quad core test-system - simple
CPU loops would occasionally delay the system un an unacceptable way.
After much debugging with Peter Zijlstra it turned out that the problem
is caused by the string of sched_clock() changes - they caused the CPU
clock to jump backwards a bit - which confuses the scheduler arithmetics.
(which is unsigned for performance reasons)
So revert:
# c300ba2: sched_clock: and multiplier for TSC to gtod drift
# c0c8773: sched_clock: only update deltas with local reads.
# af52a90: sched_clock: stop maximum check on NO HZ
# f7cce27: sched_clock: widen the max and min time
This solves the interactivity problems.

When we read some part of a file through pagecache, if there is a
pagecache of corresponding index but this page is not uptodate, read IO
is issued and this page will be uptodate.
I think this is good for pagesize == blocksize environment but there is
room for improvement on pagesize != blocksize environment. Because in
this case a page can have multiple buffers and even if a page is not
uptodate, some buffers can be uptodate.
So I suggest that when all buffers which correspond to a part of a file
that we want to read are uptodate, use this pagecache and copy data from
this pagecache to user buffer even if a page is not uptodate. This can
reduce read IO and improve system throughput.
I wrote a benchmark program and got result number with this program.
This benchmark do:
1: mount and open a test file.
2: create a 512MB file.
3: close a file and umount.
4: mount and again open a test file.
5: pwrite randomly 300000 times on a test file. offset is aligned
by IO size(1024bytes).
6: measure time of preading randomly 100000 times on a test file.
The result was:
2.6.26
330 sec
2.6.26-patched
226 sec
Arch:i386
Filesystem:ext3
Blocksize:1024 bytes
Memory: 1GB
On ext3/4, a file is written through buffer/block. So random read/write
mixed workloads or random read after random write workloads are optimized
with this patch under pagesize != blocksize environment. This test result
showed this.
The benchmark program is as follows:

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <time.h>

With KVM/GFP/XPMEM there isn't just the primary CPU MMU pointing to pages.
There are secondary MMUs (with secondary sptes and secondary tlbs) too.
sptes in the kvm case are shadow pagetables, but when I say spte in
mmu-notifier context, I mean "secondary pte". In GRU case there's no
actual secondary pte and there's only a secondary tlb because the GRU
secondary MMU has no knowledge about sptes and every secondary tlb miss
event in the MMU always generates a page fault that has to be resolved by
the CPU (this is not the case of KVM where the a secondary tlb miss will
walk sptes in hardware and it will refill the secondary tlb transparently
to software if the corresponding spte is present). The same way
zap_page_range has to invalidate the pte before freeing the page, the spte
(and secondary tlb) must also be invalidated before any page is freed and
reused.
Currently we take a page_count pin on every page mapped by sptes, but that
means the pages can't be swapped whenever they're mapped by any spte
because they're part of the guest working set. Furthermore a spte unmap
event can immediately lead to a page to be freed when the pin is released
(so requiring the same complex and relatively slow tlb_gather smp safe
logic we have in zap_page_range and that can be avoided completely if the
spte unmap event doesn't require an unpin of the page previously mapped in
the secondary MMU).
The mmu notifiers allow kvm/GRU/XPMEM to attach to the tsk->mm and know
when the VM is swapping or freeing or doing anything on the primary MMU so
that the secondary MMU code can drop sptes before the pages are freed,
avoiding all page pinning and allowing 100% reliable swapping of guest
physical address space. Furthermore it avoids the code that teardown the
mappings of the secondary MMU, to implement a logic like tlb_gather in
zap_page_range that would require many IPI to flush other cpu tlbs, for
each fixed number of spte unmapped.
To make an example: if what happens on the primary MMU is a protection
downgrade (from writeable to wrprotect) the secondary MMU mappings will be
invalidated, and the next secondary-mmu-page-fault will call
get_user_pages and trigger a do_wp_page through get_user_pages if it
called get_user_pages with write=1, and it'll re-establishing an updated
spte or secondary-tlb-mapping on the copied page. Or it will setup a
readonly spte or readonly tlb mapping if it's a guest-read, if it calls
get_user_pages with write=0. This is just an example.
This allows to map any page pointed by any pte (and in turn visible in the
primary CPU MMU), into a secondary MMU (be it a pure tlb like GRU, or an
full MMU with both sptes and secondary-tlb like the shadow-pagetable layer
with kvm), or a remote DMA in software like XPMEM (hence needing of
schedule in XPMEM code to send the invalidate to the remote node, while no
need to schedule in kvm/gru as it's an immediate event like invalidating
primary-mmu pte).
At least for KVM without this patch it's impossible to swap guests
reliably. And having this feature and removing the page pin allows
several other optimizations that simplify life considerably.
Dependencies:
1) mm_take_all_locks() to register the mmu notifier when the whole VM
isn't doing anything with "mm". This allows mmu notifier users to keep
track if the VM is in the middle of the invalidate_range_begin/end
critical section with an atomic counter incraese in range_begin and
decreased in range_end. No secondary MMU page fault is allowed to map
any spte or secondary tlb reference, while the VM is in the middle of
range_begin/end as any page returned by get_user_pages in that critical
section could later immediately be freed without any further
->invalidate_page notification (invalidate_range_begin/end works on
ranges and ->invalidate_page isn't called immediately before freeing
the page). To stop all page freeing and pagetable overwrites the
mmap_sem must be taken in write mode and all other anon_vma/i_mmap
locks must be taken too.
2) It'd be a waste to add branches in the VM if nobody could possibly
run KVM/GRU/XPMEM on the kernel, so mmu notifiers will only enabled if
CONFIG_KVM=m/y. In the current kernel kvm won't yet take advantage of
mmu notifiers, but this already allows to compile a KVM external module
against a kernel with mmu notifiers enabled and from the next pull from
kvm.git we'll start using them. And GRU/XPMEM will also be able to
continue the development by enabling KVM=m in their config, until they
submit all GRU/XPMEM GPLv2 code to the mainline kernel. Then they can
also enable MMU_NOTIFIERS in the same way KVM does it (even if KVM=n).
This guarantees nobody selects MMU_NOTIFIER=y if KVM and GRU and XPMEM
are all =n.
The mmu_notifier_register call can fail because mm_take_all_locks may be
interrupted by a signal and return -EINTR. Because mmu_notifier_reigster
is used when a driver startup, a failure can be gracefully handled. Here
an example of the change applied to kvm to register the mmu notifiers.
Usually when a driver startups other allocations are required anyway and
-ENOMEM failure paths exists already.
struct kvm *kvm_arch_create_vm(void)
{
struct kvm *kvm = kzalloc(sizeof(struct kvm), GFP_KERNEL);
+ int err;
if (!kvm)
return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM);
INIT_LIST_HEAD(&kvm->arch.active_mmu_pages);
+ kvm->arch.mmu_notifier.ops = &kvm_mmu_notifier_ops;
+ err = mmu_notifier_register(&kvm->arch.mmu_notifier, current->mm);
+ if (err) {
+ kfree(kvm);
+ return ERR_PTR(err);
+ }
+
return kvm;
}
mmu_notifier_unregister returns void and it's reliable.
The patch also adds a few needed but missing includes that would prevent
kernel to compile after these changes on non-x86 archs (x86 didn't need
them by luck).

mm_take_all_locks holds off reclaim from an entire mm_struct. This allows
mmu notifiers to register into the mm at any time with the guarantee that
no mmu operation is in progress on the mm.
This operation locks against the VM for all pte/vma/mm related operations
that could ever happen on a certain mm. This includes vmtruncate,
try_to_unmap, and all page faults.
The caller must take the mmap_sem in write mode before calling
mm_take_all_locks(). The caller isn't allowed to release the mmap_sem
until mm_drop_all_locks() returns.
mmap_sem in write mode is required in order to block all operations that
could modify pagetables and free pages without need of altering the vma
layout (for example populate_range() with nonlinear vmas). It's also
needed in write mode to avoid new anon_vmas to be associated with existing
vmas.
A single task can't take more than one mm_take_all_locks() in a row or it
would deadlock.
mm_take_all_locks() and mm_drop_all_locks are expensive operations that
may have to take thousand of locks.
mm_take_all_locks() can fail if it's interrupted by signals.
When mmu_notifier_register returns, we must be sure that the driver is
notified if some task is in the middle of a vmtruncate for the 'mm' where
the mmu notifier was registered (mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start/end
is run around the vmtruncation but mmu_notifier_register can run after
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start and before
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end). Same problem for rmap paths. And
we've to remove page pinning to avoid replicating the tlb_gather logic
inside KVM (and GRU doesn't work well with page pinning regardless of
needing tlb_gather), so without mm_take_all_locks when vmtruncate frees
the page, kvm would have no way to notice that it mapped into sptes a page
that is going into the freelist without a chance of any further
mmu_notifier notification.

Adding platform_data to mfd_cell allows passing of platform data directly
to the platform_device created for each cell and thus reuse of existing
drivers.
On the other side it can be used as a hook to mfd_cell itself
removing the need in mfd_get_cell method.

Libata has some hacks to deal with certain controllers going silly in D3
state. The right way to handle this is to keep a PCI device flag for
such devices. That can then be generalised for no ATA devices with power
problems.

The ACPI FADT table includes an ASPM control bit. If the bit is set, do
not enable ASPM since it may indicate that the platform doesn't actually
support the feature.

Clean up and optimize cpumask_of_cpu(), by sharing all the zero words.
Instead of stupidly generating all possible i=0...NR_CPUS 2^i patterns
creating a huge array of constant bitmasks, realize that the zero words
can be shared.
In other words, on a 64-bit architecture, we only ever need 64 of these
arrays - with a different bit set in one single world (with enough zero
words around it so that we can create any bitmask by just offsetting in
that big array). And then we just put enough zeroes around it that we
can point every single cpumask to be one of those things.
So when we have 4k CPU's, instead of having 4k arrays (of 4k bits each,
with one bit set in each array - 2MB memory total), we have exactly 64
arrays instead, each 8k bits in size (64kB total).
And then we just point cpumask(n) to the right position (which we can
calculate dynamically). Once we have the right arrays, getting
"cpumask(n)" ends up being:
static inline const cpumask_t *get_cpu_mask(unsigned int cpu)
{
const unsigned long *p = cpu_bit_bitmap[1 + cpu % BITS_PER_LONG];
p -= cpu / BITS_PER_LONG;
return (const cpumask_t *)p;
}
This brings other advantages and simplifications as well:
- we are not wasting memory that is just filled with a single bit in
various different places
- we don't need all those games to re-create the arrays in some dense
format, because they're already going to be dense enough.
if we compile a kernel for up to 4k CPU's, "wasting" that 64kB of memory
is a non-issue (especially since by doing this "overlapping" trick we
probably get better cache behaviour anyway).
[ mingo@elte.hu:
Converted Linus's mails into a commit. See:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/7/27/156http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/7/28/320
Also applied a family filter - which also has the side-effect of leaving
out the bits where Linus calls me an idio... Oh, never mind ;-)
