2009-08-14percpu, sparc64: fix sparse possible cpu map handlingTejun Heo
percpu code has been assuming num_possible_cpus() == nr_cpu_ids which is incorrect if cpu_possible_map contains holes. This causes percpu code to access beyond allocated memories and vmalloc areas. On a sparc64 machine with cpus 0 and 2 (u60), this triggers the following warning or fails boot.

2009-08-13genirq: prevent wakeup of freed irq threadLinus Torvalds
free_irq() can remove an irqaction while the corresponding interrupt is in progress, but free_irq() sets action->thread to NULL unconditionally, which might lead to a NULL pointer dereference in handle_IRQ_event() when the hard interrupt context tries to wake up the handler thread. Prevent this by moving the thread stop after synchronize_irq(). No need to set action->thread to NULL either as action is going to be freed anyway. This fixes a boot crash reported against preempt-rt which uses the mainline irq threads code to implement full irq threading.

2009-08-13Make sock_sendpage() use kernel_sendpage()Linus Torvalds
kernel_sendpage() does the proper default case handling for when the socket doesn't have a native sendpage implementation. Now, arguably this might be something that we could instead solve by just specifying that all protocols should do it themselves at the protocol level, but we really only care about the common protocols. Does anybody really care about sendpage on something like Appletalk? Not likely. Acked-by: David S.

2009-08-13perf_counter: Report the cloning task as parent on perf_counter_fork()Peter Zijlstra
A bug in (9f498cc: perf_counter: Full task tracing) makes profiling multi-threaded apps it go belly up. [ output as: (PID:TID):(PPID:PTID) ] # ./perf report -D | grep FORK 0x4b0 [0x18]: PERF_EVENT_FORK: (3237:3237):(3236:3236) 0xa10 [0x18]: PERF_EVENT_FORK: (3237:3238):(3236:3236) 0xa70 [0x18]: PERF_EVENT_FORK: (3237:3239):(3236:3236) 0xad0 [0x18]: PERF_EVENT_FORK: (3237:3240):(3236:3236) 0xb18 [0x18]: PERF_EVENT_FORK: (3237:3241):(3236:3236) Shows us that the test (27d028d perf report: Update for the new FORK/EXIT events) in builtin-report.c: /* * A thread clone will have the same PID for both * parent and child. */ if (thread == parent) return 0; Will clearly fail. The problem is that perf_counter_fork() reports the actual parent, instead of the cloning thread.

2009-08-13perf_counter: Fix an ipi-deadlockPeter Zijlstra
perf_pending_counter() is called from IRQ context and will call perf_counter_disable(), however perf_counter_disable() uses smp_call_function_single() which doesn't fancy being used with IRQs disabled due to IPI deadlocks. Fix this by making it use the local __perf_counter_disable() call and teaching the counter_sched_out() code about pending disables as well. This should cover the case where a counter migrates before the pending queue gets processed.

2009-08-13perf_counter: Fix swcounter context invariancePeter Zijlstra
perf_swcounter_is_counting() uses a lock, which means we cannot use swcounters from NMI or when holding that particular lock, this is unintended. The below removes the lock, this opens up race window, but not worse than the swcounters already experience due to RCU traversal of the context in perf_swcounter_ctx_event().

2009-08-13md: allow upper limit for resync/reshape to be set when array is read-onlyNeilBrown
Normally we only allow the upper limit for a reshape to be decreased when the array not performing a sync/recovery/reshape, otherwise there could be races. But if an array is part-way through a reshape when it is assembled the reshape is started immediately leaving no window to set an upper bound. If the array is started read-only, the reshape will be suspended until the array becomes writable, so that provides a window during which it is perfectly safe to reduce the upper limit of a reshape. So: allow the upper limit (sync_max) to be reduced even if the reshape thread is running, as long as the array is still read-only. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

2009-08-13md/raid5: allow new reshape modes to be restarted in the middle.NeilBrown
md/raid5 doesn't allow a reshape to restart if it involves writing over the same part of disk that it would be reading from. This happens at the beginning of a reshape that increases the number of devices, at the end of a reshape that decreases the number of devices, and continuously for a reshape that does not change the number of devices. The current code is correct for the "increase number of devices" case as the critical section at the start is handled by userspace performing a backup. It does not work for reducing the number of devices, or the no-change case. For 'reducing', we need to invert the test. For no-change we cannot really be sure things will be safe, so simply require the array to be read-only, which is how the user-space code which carefully starts such arrays works. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2009-08-13md: never advance 'events' counter by more than 1.NeilBrown
When assembling arrays, md allows two devices to have different event counts as long as the difference is only '1'. This is to cope with a system failure between updating the metadata on two difference devices. However there are currently times when we update the event count by 2. This was done to keep the event count even when the array is clean and odd when it is dirty, which allows us to avoid writing common update to spare devices and so allow those spares to go to sleep. This is bad for the above reason. So change it to never increase by two. This means that the alignment between 'odd/even' and 'clean/dirty' might take a little longer to attain, but that is only a small cost. The spares will get a few more updates but that will still be spared (;-) most updates and can still go to sleep. Prior to this patch there was a small chance that after a crash an array would fail to assemble due to the overly large event count mismatch. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

2009-08-12Remove double removal of blktrace directoryAlan D. Brunelle
commit fd51d251e4cdb21f68e9dbc4336514d64a105a79 Author: Stefan Raspl <raspl@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Date: Tue May 19 09:59:08 2009 +0200 blktrace: remove debugfs entries on bad path added in an explicit invocation of debugfs_remove for bt->dir, in blk_remove_buf_file_callback we are also getting the directory removed. On occasion I am seeing memory corruption that I have bisected down to this commit. [The testing involves a (long) series of I/O benchmarks with blktrace invoked around the actual runs.] I believe that this committed patch is correct, but the problem actually lies in the code in blk_remove_buf_file_callback. With this patch I am able to consistently get complete runs whereas previously I could not get a single run to complete. The first part of the patch simply moves the debugfs_remove below the relay_close: the relay_close call will remove files under bt->dir, and so we should not remove the directory until all the files we created have been removed. (Note: This is not sufficient to fix the problem - the file system code has ref counts on the directoy, so our invocation does not cause the directory to actually be removed. Nonetheless, we should not rely upon that feature.) Signed-off-by: Alan D. Brunelle <alan.brunelle@hp.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

2009-08-12NFS: Fix an O_DIRECT Oops...Trond Myklebust
We can't call nfs_readdata_release()/nfs_writedata_release() without first initialising and referencing args.context. Doing so inside nfs_direct_read_schedule_segment()/nfs_direct_write_schedule_segment() causes an Oops. We should rather be calling nfs_readdata_free()/nfs_writedata_free() in those cases. Looking at the O_DIRECT code, the "struct nfs_direct_req" is already referencing the nfs_open_context for us. Since the readdata and writedata structures carry a reference to that, we can simplify things by getting rid of the extra nfs_open_context references, so that we can replace all instances of nfs_readdata_release()/nfs_writedata_release().

2009-08-12perf_counter, x86: Fix/improve apic fallbackIngo Molnar
Johannes Stezenbach reported that his Pentium-M based laptop does not have the local APIC enabled by default, and hence perfcounters do not get initialized. Add a fallback for this case: allow non-sampled counters and return with an error on sampled counters. This allows 'perf stat' to work out of box - and allows 'perf top' and 'perf record' to fall back on a hrtimer based sampling method. ( Passing 'lapic' on the boot line will allow hardware sampling to occur - but if the APIC is disabled permanently by the hardware then this fallback still allows more systems to use perfcounters. ) Also decouple perfcounter support from X86_LOCAL_APIC. -v2: fix typo breaking counters on all other systems ...

2009-08-12perf tools: Fix dso__new handle() to handle deleted DSOsArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
It is better than showing the map addr, this way at least we know that we can't get the symtabs because the DSO was deleted (system update) while an app still used such DSO. Yeah, don't do that, but if you do, you'll figure it out quicker this way.

2009-08-12perf record: Fix .tid and .pid fill-in when synthesizing eventsArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Noticed when trying to record events for a firefox thread. We were synthesizing both .tid and .pid with the pid passed via --pid. Fix it by reading /proc/PID/status and getting the tgid to use in .pid, .tid gets the specified "pid". Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: "H.

2009-08-12ahci: add workaround for on-board 5723s on some gigabyte boardsTejun Heo
Some gigabytes have on-board SIMG5723s connected to JMB ahcis. These are used to implement hardware raid. Unfortunately some firmware revisions on these 5723s don't bring the link down when all the downstream ports are unoccupied while not responding to reset protocol which makes libata think that there's device attached to the port but is not responding and retry. This results in painfully wrong boot detection time for these ports when they're empty. This patch quirks those boards such that ahci gives up after the initial timeout. Combined with parallel probing, this gives quick enough probing and also is safe because SIMG5723 will respond to the first try if any of the downstream ports is occupied.

At least the nVidia MCP55 controller quite happily supports MSI. This adds an option to use it. It is disabled by default. As per feedback by Robert Hancock, it will honour the user request as the kernel will not enable MSI where the controller or the specific system configuration do not support it.

2009-08-12x86: Fix oops in identify_cpu() on CPUs without CPUIDOndrej Zary
Kernel is broken for x86 CPUs without CPUID since 2.6.28. It crashes with NULL pointer dereference in identify_cpu(): 766 generic_identify(c); 767 768--> if (this_cpu->c_identify) 769 this_cpu->c_identify(c); this_cpu is NULL. This is because it's only initialized in get_cpu_vendor() function, which is not called if the CPU has no CPUID instruction.
