2009-04-15brd: fix cacheflushingNick Piggin
brd is missing a flush_dcache_page. On 2nd thoughts, perhaps it is the pagecache's responsibility to flush user virtual aliases (the driver of course should flush kernel virtual mappings)... but anyway, there already exists cache flushing for one direction of transfer, so we should add the other.

2009-04-15brd: support barriersNick Piggin
brd is always ordered (not that it matters, as it is defined not to survive when the system goes down). So tell the block layer it is ordered, which might be of help with testing filesystems. Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

2009-04-15splice: add helpers for locking pipe inodeMiklos Szeredi
There are lots of sequences like this, especially in splice code: if (pipe->inode) mutex_lock(&pipe->inode->i_mutex); /* do something */ if (pipe->inode) mutex_unlock(&pipe->inode->i_mutex); so introduce helpers which do the conditional locking and unlocking. Also replace the inode_double_lock() call with a pipe_double_lock() helper to avoid spreading the use of this functionality beyond the pipe code. This patch is just a cleanup, and should cause no behavioral changes. Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2009-04-15splice: remove generic_file_splice_write_nolock()Miklos Szeredi
Remove the now unused generic_file_splice_write_nolock() function. It's conceptually broken anyway, because splice may need to wait for pipe events so holding locks across the whole operation is wrong.

2009-04-15ocfs2: fix i_mutex locking in ocfs2_splice_to_file()Miklos Szeredi
Rearrange locking of i_mutex on destination and call to ocfs2_rw_lock() so locks are only held while buffers are copied with the pipe_to_file() actor, and not while waiting for more data on the pipe. Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

2009-04-15splice: remove i_mutex locking in splice_from_pipe()Miklos Szeredi
splice_from_pipe() is only called from two places: - generic_splice_sendpage() - splice_write_null() Neither of these require i_mutex to be taken on the destination inode. Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2009-04-15splice: split up __splice_from_pipe()Miklos Szeredi
Split up __splice_from_pipe() into four helper functions: splice_from_pipe_begin() splice_from_pipe_next() splice_from_pipe_feed() splice_from_pipe_end() splice_from_pipe_next() will wait (if necessary) for more buffers to be added to the pipe. splice_from_pipe_feed() will feed the buffers to the supplied actor and return when there's no more data available (or if all of the requested data has been copied). This is necessary so that implementations can do locking around the non-waiting splice_from_pipe_feed(). This patch should not cause any change in behavior.

2009-04-15cfq-iosched: don't delay queue kick for a merged requestJens Axboe
"Zhang, Yanmin" <yanmin_zhang@linux.intel.com> reports that commit b029195dda0129b427c6e579a3bb3ae752da3a93 introduced a regression of about 50% with sequential threaded read workloads. The test case is: tiotest -k0 -k1 -k3 -f 80 -t 32 which starts 32 threads each reading a 80MB file. Twiddle the kick queue logic so that we do start IO immediately, if it appears to be a fully merged request. We can't really detect that, so just check if the request is bigger than a page or not. The assumption is that since single bio issues will first queue a single request with just one page attached and then later do merges on that, if we already have more than a page worth of data in the request, then the request is most likely good to go. Verified that this doesn't cause a regression with the test case that commit b029195dda0129b427c6e579a3bb3ae752da3a93 was fixing. It does not, we still see maximum sized requests for the queue-then-merge cases. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2009-04-15buffer: switch do_emergency_thaw() away from pdflush_operation()Jens Axboe

2009-04-14x86 microcode: revert some work_on_cpuHugh Dickins
Revert part of af5c820a3169e81af869c113e18ec7588836cd50 ("x86: cpumask: use work_on_cpu in arch/x86/kernel/microcode_core.c") That change is causing only one Intel CPU's microcode to be updated e.g. microcode: CPU3 updated from revision 0x9 to 0x17, date = 2005-04-22 where before it announced that also for CPU0 and CPU1 and CPU2. We cannot use work_on_cpu() in the CONFIG_MICROCODE_OLD_INTERFACE code, because Intel's request_microcode_user() involves a copy_from_user() from /sbin/microcode_ctl, which therefore needs to be on that CPU at the time.

2009-04-14Fix lpfc_parse_bg_err()'s use of do_div()David Howells
Fix lpfc_parse_bg_err()'s use of do_div(). It should be passing a 64-bit variable as the first parameter. However, since it's only using a 32-bit variable, it doesn't need to use do_div() at all, but can instead use the division operator. This deals with the following warnings: CC drivers/scsi/lpfc/lpfc_scsi.o drivers/scsi/lpfc/lpfc_scsi.c: In function 'lpfc_parse_bg_err': drivers/scsi/lpfc/lpfc_scsi.c:1397: warning: comparison of distinct pointer types lacks a cast drivers/scsi/lpfc/lpfc_scsi.c:1397: warning: right shift count >= width of type drivers/scsi/lpfc/lpfc_scsi.c:1397: warning: passing argument 1 of '__div64_32' from incompatible pointer type Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

In commit 51dcdfec6a274afc1c6fce180d582add9ff512c0 ("parport: Use the PCI IRQ if offered") parport_pc_probe_port() gained an irqflags arg. This isn't being supplied on powerpc.

Impact: build fix for Sparc and s390 Stephen Rothwell reported that the Sparc build broke: In file included from kernel/panic.c:12: include/linux/debug_locks.h: In function '__debug_locks_off': include/linux/debug_locks.h:15: error: implicit declaration of function 'xchg' due to: 9eeba61: lockdep: warn about lockdep disabling after kernel taint There is some inconsistency between architectures about where exactly xchg() is defined. The traditional place is in system.h but the more logical point for it is in atomic.h - where most architectures (especially new ones) have it defined. These architecture also still offer it via system.h. Some, such as Sparc or s390 only have it in asm/system.h and not available via asm/atomic.h at all. Use the widest set of headers in debug_locks.h and also include asm/system.h. Reported-by: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: "David S.
