2008-04-07virtio: remove overzealous BUG_ON.Rusty Russell
The 'disable_cb' callback is designed as an optimization to tell the host we don't need callbacks now. As it is not reliable, the debug check is overzealous: it can happen on two CPUs at the same time. Document this. Even if it were reliable, the virtio_net driver doesn't disable callbacks on transmit so the START_USE/END_USE debugging reentrance protection can be easily tripped even on UP. Thanks to Balaji Rao for the bug report and testing.

2008-04-07x86: fix 64-bit asm NOPS for CONFIG_GENERIC_CPUSuresh Siddha
ASM_NOP's for 64-bit kernel with CONFIG_GENERIC_CPU is broken with the recent x86 nops merge. They were using GENERIC_NOPS which will truncate the upper 32bits of %rsi, because of the missing 64bit rex prefix. For now, fall back ASM NOPS for generic cpu to K8 NOPS, similar to the code before the wrong x86 nop merge. This should resolve the crash seen by Ingo on a test-system: BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at 00000000d80d8ee8 IP: [<ffffffff802121af>] save_i387_ia32+0x61/0xd8 PGD b8e0067 PUD 51490067 PMD 0 Oops: 0000 [1] SMP CPU 2 Modules linked in: Pid: 3871, comm: distcc Not tainted 2.6.25-rc7-sched-devel.git-x86-latest.git #359 RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff802121af>] [<ffffffff802121af>] save_i387_ia32+0x61/0xd8 RSP: 0000:ffff81003abd3cb8 EFLAGS: 00010246 RAX: ffff810082e93400 RBX: 00000000ffc37f84 RCX: ffff8100d80d8ee0 RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: 00000000d80d8ee0 RDI: ffff810082e93400 RBP: 00000000ffc37fdc R08: 00000000ffc37f88 R09: 0000000000000008 R10: ffff81003abd2000 R11: 0000000000000000 R12: ffff810082e93400 R13: 0000000000000000 R14: 0000000000000000 R15: 0000000000000000 FS: 0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffff81011fb12dc0(0063) knlGS:00000000f7f1a6c0 CS: 0010 DS: 002b ES: 002b CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: 00000000d80d8ee8 CR3: 0000000076922000 CR4: 00000000000006e0 DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000ffff0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 Process distcc (pid: 3871, threadinfo ffff81003abd2000, task ffff8100d80d8ee0) Stack: ffff8100bb670380 ffffffff8026de50 0000000000000118 0000000000000002 0000000000000002 ffff81003abd3e68 ffff81003abd3ed8 ffff81003abd3de8 ffff81003abd3d18 ffffffff80229785 ffff8100d80d8ee0 ffff810001041280 Call Trace: [<ffffffff8026de50>] ? __generic_file_aio_write_nolock+0x343/0x377 [<ffffffff80229785>] ? update_curr+0x54/0x64 [<ffffffff80227cd3>] ? ia32_setup_sigcontext+0x125/0x1d2 [<ffffffff8022839f>] ? ia32_setup_frame+0x73/0x1a5 [<ffffffff8020b2a5>] ? do_notify_resume+0x1aa/0x7db [<ffffffff8024ae8c>] ? getnstimeofday+0x31/0x85 [<ffffffff80249858>] ? ktime_get_ts+0x17/0x48 [<ffffffff80249933>] ? ktime_get+0xc/0x41 [<ffffffff8024973e>] ? hrtimer_nanosleep+0x75/0xd5 [<ffffffff80249261>] ? hrtimer_wakeup+0x0/0x21 [<ffffffff8020bfbc>] ? int_signal+0x12/0x17 [<ffffffff8030e6b3>] ? dummy_file_free_security+0x0/0x1 Code: a6 08 05 00 00 f6 40 14 01 74 34 4c 89 e7 48 0f ae 07 48 8b 86 08 05 00 00 80 78 02 00 79 02 db e2 90 8d b4 26 00 00 00 00 89 f6 <48> 8b 46 08 83 60 14 fe 0f 20 c0 48 83 c8 08 0f 22 c0 eb 07 c6 Signed-off-by: Suresh Siddha <suresh.b.siddha@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

In time_cpufreq_notifier() the cpu id to act upon is held in freq->cpu. Use it instead of smp_processor_id() in the call to set_cyc2ns_scale(). This makes the preempt_*able() unnecessary and lets set_cyc2ns_scale() update the intended cpu's cyc2ns.

2008-04-06scsi: fix sense_slab/bio swapping livelockHugh Dickins
Since 2.6.25-rc7, I've been seeing an occasional livelock on one x86_64 machine, copying kernel trees to tmpfs, paging out to swap. Signature: 6000 pages under writeback but never getting written; most tasks of interest trying to reclaim, but each get_swap_bio waiting for a bio in mempool_alloc's io_schedule_timeout(5*HZ); every five seconds an atomic page allocation failure report from kblockd failing to allocate a sense_buffer in __scsi_get_command. __scsi_get_command has a (one item) free_list to protect against this, but rc1's [SCSI] use dynamically allocated sense buffer de25deb18016f66dcdede165d07654559bb332bc upset that slightly. When it fails to allocate from the separate sense_slab, instead of giving up, it must fall back to the command free_list, which is sure to have a sense_buffer attached. Either my earlier -rc testing missed this, or there's some recent contributory factor. One very significant factor is SLUB, which merges slab caches when it can, and on 64-bit happens to merge both bio cache and sense_slab cache into kmalloc's 128-byte cache: so that under this swapping load, bios above are liable to gobble up all the slots needed for scsi_cmnd sense_buffers below. That's disturbing behaviour, and I tried a few things to fix it. Adding a no-op constructor to the sense_slab inhibits SLUB from merging it, and stops all the allocation failures I was seeing; but it's rather a hack, and perhaps in different configurations we have other caches on the swapout path which are ill-merged. Another alternative is to revert the separate sense_slab, using cache-line-aligned sense_buffer allocated beyond scsi_cmnd from the one kmem_cache; but that might waste more memory, and is only a way of diverting around the known problem. While I don't like seeing the allocation failures, and hate the idea of all those bios piled up above a scsi host working one by one, it does seem to emerge fairly soon with the livelock fix. So lacking better ideas, stick with that one clear fix for now.

2008-04-04ipmi: change device node ordering to reflect probe orderCarol Hebert
In 2.6.14 a patch was merged which switching the order of the ipmi device naming from in-order-of-discovery over to reverse-order-of-discovery. So on systems with multiple BMC interfaces, the ipmi device names are being created in reverse order relative to how they are discovered on the system (e.g. on an IBM x3950 multinode server with N nodes, the device name for the BMC in the first node is /dev/ipmiN-1 and the device name for the BMC in the last node is /dev/ipmi0, etc.). The problem is caused by the list handling routines chosen in dmi_scan.c. Using list_add() causes the multiple ipmi devices to be added to the device list using a stack-paradigm and so the ipmi driver subsequently pulls them off during initialization in LIFO order. This patch changes the dmi_save_ipmi_device() list handling paradigm to a queue, thereby allowing the ipmi driver to build the ipmi device names in the order in which they are found on the system.

2008-04-04memory controller: make memory resource control aware of boot optionsBalbir Singh
A boot option for the memory controller was discussed on lkml. It is a good idea to add it, since it saves memory for people who want to turn off the memory controller. By default the option is on for the following two reasons: 1. It provides compatibility with the current scheme where the memory controller turns on if the config option is enabled 2. It allows for wider testing of the memory controller, once the config option is enabled We still allow the create, destroy callbacks to succeed, since they are not aware of boot options. We do not populate the directory will memory resource controller specific files.

2008-04-04cgroups: add cgroup support for enabling controllers at boot timePaul Menage
The effects of cgroup_disable=foo are: - foo isn't auto-mounted if you mount all cgroups in a single hierarchy - foo isn't visible as an individually mountable subsystem As a result there will only ever be one call to foo->create(), at init time; all processes will stay in this group, and the group will never be mounted on a visible hierarchy. Any additional effects (e.g. not allocating metadata) are up to the foo subsystem. This doesn't handle early_init subsystems (their "disabled" bit isn't set be, but it could easily be extended to do so if any of the early_init systems wanted it - I think it would just involve some nastier parameter processing since it would occur before the command-line argument parser had been run. Hugh said: Ballpark figures, I'm trying to get this question out rather than processing the exact numbers: CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR adds 15% overhead to the affected paths, booting with cgroup_disable=memory cuts that back to 1% overhead (due to slightly bigger struct page). I'm no expert on distros, they may have no interest whatever in CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR=y; and the rest of us can easily build with or without it, or apply the cgroup_disable=memory patches.

Since the read of the old status was not synchronized with anything, an aggressive CPU re-ordering of memory accesses might have moved that read up to before the data was even written to the buffer, and another CPU that cleaned it again, causing the newly dirty state to never actually hit the disk. Admittedly this would probably never trigger in practice, but it's still wrong. Mikulas sent a patch that fixed the problem, but I dislike the subtlety of the whole optimization, so this is an alternate fix that is more explicit about the particular SMP ordering for the optimization, and separates out the speculative reads of the buffer state into its own conditional (and makes the memory barrier only happen if we are likely to actually hit the optimized case in the first place). I considered removing the optimization entirely, but Andrew argued for it's continued existence. I'm a push-over.

2008-04-04parport_pc: make sure to release IO ports after probing for IT87XXLinus Torvalds
Commit f63fd7e299ee13da071ecfce2b90b58c5e1562b1 ("parport_pc: detection for SuperIO IT87XX POST") only released the IO port region on success, not when the probe for the IT87XX chip failed. That caused not only a reserved region to leak, but also caused an oops when the driver module was unloaded and somebody tried to cat /proc/ioports - because the string that was assigned to the IO port region was a static string in the module virtual address area.

2008-04-04x86: tsc prevent time going backwardsThomas Gleixner
We already catch most of the TSC problems by sanity checks, but there is a subtle bug which has been in the code for ever. This can cause time jumps in the range of hours. This was reported in: http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/8/23/96 and http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/3/31/23 I was able to reproduce the problem with a gettimeofday loop test on a dual core and a quad core machine which both have sychronized TSCs. The TSCs seems not to be perfectly in sync though, but the kernel is not able to detect the slight delta in the sync check. Still there exists an extremly small window where this delta can be observed with a real big time jump. So far I was only able to reproduce this with the vsyscall gettimeofday implementation, but in theory this might be observable with the syscall based version as well. CPU 0 updates the clock source variables under xtime/vyscall lock and CPU1, where the TSC is slighty behind CPU0, is reading the time right after the seqlock was unlocked. The clocksource reference data was updated with the TSC from CPU0 and the value which is read from TSC on CPU1 is less than the reference data. This results in a huge delta value due to the unsigned subtraction of the TSC value and the reference value. This algorithm can not be changed due to the support of wrapping clock sources like pm timer. The huge delta is converted to nanoseconds and added to xtime, which is then observable by the caller. The next gettimeofday call on CPU1 will show the correct time again as now the TSC has advanced above the reference value. To prevent this TSC specific wreckage we need to compare the TSC value against the reference value and return the latter when it is larger than the actual TSC value. I pondered to mark the TSC unstable when the readout is smaller than the reference value, but this would render an otherwise good and fast clocksource unusable without a real good reason.

2008-04-04xen: fix grant table bugMichael Abd-El-Malek
fix memory corruption and crash due to mis-sized grant table. A PV OS has two grant table data structures: the grant table itself and a free list. The free list is composed of an array of pages, which grow dynamically as the guest OS requires more grants. While the grant table contains 8-byte entries, the free list contains 4-byte entries. So we have half as many pages in the free list than in the grant table. There was a bug in the free list allocation code. The free list was indexed as if it was the same size as the grant table. But it's only half as large. So memory got corrupted, and I was seeing crashes in the slab allocator later on.
