2005-11-07[PATCH] knfsd: fix setattr-on-symlink error returnNeilBrown
This is a somewhat cosmetic fix to keep the SpecFS validation test from complaining. SpecFS want's to try chmod on symlinks, and ext3 and reiser (at least) return ENOTSUPP. Probably both sides are being silly, but it is easiest to simply make it a non-issue and filter out chmod requests on symlinks at the nfsd level.

2005-11-07[PATCH] prevent dmesg warning in zr36067 driverRonald S. Bultje
Fix the warning "Debug: sleeping function called from invalid context at include/asm/semaphore.h:102" that the zr36067 driver emits every time an application using JPEG capture starts up (e.g. mjpegtools' lavrec). The warning is harmless, but clogs up the dmesg output. This was logged as bugzilla #5403. (Thanks to Christian Casteyde for helping me in fixing this long-standing annoyance.)

2005-11-07[PATCH] Kprobes: rearrange preempt_disable/enable() callsAnanth N Mavinakayanahalli
The following set of patches are aimed at improving kprobes scalability. We currently serialize kprobe registration, unregistration and handler execution using a single spinlock - kprobe_lock. With these changes, kprobe handlers can run without any locks held. It also allows for simultaneous kprobe handler executions on different processors as we now track kprobe execution on a per processor basis. It is now necessary that the handlers be re-entrant since handlers can run concurrently on multiple processors. All changes have been tested on i386, ia64, ppc64 and x86_64, while sparc64 has been compile tested only. The patches can be viewed as 3 logical chunks: patch 1: Reorder preempt_(dis/en)able calls patches 2-7: Introduce per_cpu data areas to track kprobe execution patches 8-9: Use RCU to synchronize kprobe (un)registration and handler execution. Thanks to Maneesh Soni, James Keniston and Anil Keshavamurthy for their review and suggestions. Thanks again to Anil, Hien Nguyen and Kevin Stafford for testing the patches.

2005-11-07[PATCH] ipmi: add timer threadCorey Minyard
We must poll for responses to commands when interrupts aren't in use. The default poll interval is based on using a kernel timer, which varies with HZ. For character-based interfaces like KCS and SMIC though, that can be way too slow (>15 minutes to flash a new firmware with KCS, >20 seconds to retrieve the sensor list). This creates a low-priority kernel thread to poll more often. If the state machine is idle, so is the kernel thread. But if there's an active command, it polls quite rapidly. This decrease a firmware flash time from 15 minutes to 1.5 minutes, and the sensor list time to 4.5 seconds, on a Dell PowerEdge x8x system. The timer-based polling remains, to ensure some amount of responsiveness even under high user process CPU load. Checking for a stopped timer at rmmod now uses atomics and del_timer_sync() to ensure safe stoppage.

2005-11-07[PATCH] ipmi: kcs error0 delayCorey Minyard
BMCs can get into ERROR0 state while flashing new firmware, particularly while the BMC is erasing the next flash block, which may take a just under 2 seconds on a Dell PowerEdge 2800 (1.75 seconds typical), during which time the single-threaded firmware may not be able to process new commands. In particular, clearing OBF may not take effect immediately. We want it to delay in ERROR0 after clearing OBF a bit waiting for OBF to actually be clear before proceeding. This introduces a new return value from the LLDD's event loop, SI_SM_CALL_WITH_TICK_DELAY. This means the calling thread/timer should schedule_timeout() at least 1 tick, rather than busy-wait. This is a longer delay than SI_SM_CALL_WITH_DELAY, which is typically a 250us busy-wait.

2005-11-07[PATCH] ipmi: bt restart reset fixesCorey Minyard
The current BT retry/reset mechanism fails to succeed on a PowerEdge 1650, when the controller is wedged with B2H_ATN asserted at XACTION_START. If this occurs, no further commands will ever succeed unless the state of the controller is first cleared out. Furthermore, the soft reset would only occur if the first command after insmod was the one that timed out, not if a later command timed out. This patch changes the retry/reset mechanism to be as follows: Before retrying a command, clear the state of the BT controller such that the flags represent ready for a new transaction. This increases the chance of success of the restarted transaction. After 2 retries, issue a soft reset and retry one more time before giving up and reporting back a failure.

2005-11-07[PATCH] ipmi: si start transaction hookCorey Minyard
Some commands, on some system BMCs, don't respond at at all. This is seen on Dell PowerEdge x6xx and x7xx systems with IPMI 1.0 BT controllers when a "Get SDR" command is issued, with a length field of 0x3A, which happens to be the length of about SDR entries. If another length is passed, this command succeeds. This patch adds general infrastructure for receiving commands before they're passed down to the low-level drivers, such that they can be completed immediately, or modified, prior to being sent to ->start_transaction().

2005-11-07[PATCH] ipmi: various si cleanupCorey Minyard
A number of small changes for the various system interface drivers, consolidated from a number of patches from Matt Domsch. Clear B2H_ATN and drain the BMC message buffer on command timeout. This prevents further commands from failing after a timeout. Add bt_debug and smic_debug module parameters, expose them in sysfs. This lets you enable and disable debugging messages at runtime. Unsigned jiffies math in ipmi_si_intf.c causes a too-large value to be passed to ->event() after jiffies wrap-around. The BT driver had caught this, but didn't know how to fix it. Now all calls to ->event() use a sane value for time. Increase timeout for commands handed to the BT driver from 2 seconds to 5 seconds. This is necessary particularly when the previous command was a "Clear SEL", as that command completes, yet the BMC isn't really ready to handle another command yet. Silence BT debugging messages which were being printed on the console. Increase SMIC timeout form 1/10s to 2s. This is needed on Dell PowerEdge 2650 and PowerEdge 750 with ERA/O cards to allow commands to complete without timing out. Adds kcs_debug module param, to match behavior of BT and SMIC. This also prevents messages from being sent to the console unless explicitly requested.

2005-11-07[PATCH] ipmi: use refcount in message handlerCorey Minyard
This patch is rather large, but it really can't be done in smaller chunks easily and I believe it is an important change. This has been out and tested for a while in the latest IPMI driver release. There are no functional changes, just changes as necessary to convert the locking over (and a few minor style updates). The IPMI driver uses read/write locks to ensure that things exist while they are in use. This is bad from a number of points of view. This patch removes the rwlocks and uses refcounts and RCU lists to manage what the locks did.

2005-11-07[PATCH] as: cooperating processesNick Piggin
Introduce the notion of cooperating processes (those that submit requests close to one another), and use these statistics to make better choices about whether or not to do anticipatory waiting. Help and analysis from Seetharami Seelam <seelam@cs.utep.edu> Performance testing from Seelam: I set up my system and executed a couple of tests that I used for OLS. I tested with AS, cooperative process patch merged in -mm tree (which I called Nick, below) and the cooperative patch with modifications to as_update_iohist (which I called Seelam). I used a dual-processor (2.28GHz Pentium 4 Xeon) system, with 1 GB main memory and 1 MB L2 cache, running Linux 2.6.9. Only a single processor is used for the experiments. I used 7.2K RPM Maxtor 10GB drive configured with ext2 file system. Experiment 1 (ex1) consists of reading one Linux source trees using find . -type f -exec cat '{}' ';' > /dev/null. Experiment 2 (ex2) consists of reading two disjoint Linux source trees using find . -type f -exec cat '{}' ';' > /dev/null. Experiment 3 (ex3) consists of streaming read of a 2GB file in the background and 1 instance of the chunk reads in Experiment 1. Timings for reading the Linux source are shown below: AS Nick Seelam ex1: 0m25.813s 0m27.859s 0m27.640s ex2: 1m11.468s 1m13.918s 1m5.869s ex3: 81m44.352s 10m38.572s 6m47.994s The difference between the numbers in Experiment 3 must be due to the code in as_update_iohist.

2005-11-07[PATCH] consolidate sys_ptrace()Christoph Hellwig
The sys_ptrace boilerplate code (everything outside the big switch statement for the arch-specific requests) is shared by most architectures. This patch moves it to kernel/ptrace.c and leaves the arch-specific code as arch_ptrace. Some architectures have a too different ptrace so we have to exclude them. They continue to keep their implementations. For sh64 I had to add a sh64_ptrace wrapper because it does some initialization on the first call.
