2008-03-15sched: fix race in schedule()Hiroshi Shimamoto
Fix a hard to trigger crash seen in the -rt kernel that also affects the vanilla scheduler. There is a race condition between schedule() and some dequeue/enqueue functions; rt_mutex_setprio(), __setscheduler() and sched_move_task(). When scheduling to idle, idle_balance() is called to pull tasks from other busy processor. It might drop the rq lock. It means that those 3 functions encounter on_rq=0 and running=1. The current task should be put when running. Here is a possible scenario: CPU0 CPU1 | schedule() | ->deactivate_task() | ->idle_balance() | -->load_balance_newidle() rt_mutex_setprio() | | --->double_lock_balance() *get lock *rel lock * on_rq=0, ruuning=1 | * sched_class is changed | *rel lock *get lock : | : ->put_prev_task_rt() ->pick_next_task_fair() => panic The current process of CPU1(P1) is scheduling. Deactivated P1, and the scheduler looks for another process on other CPU's runqueue because CPU1 will be idle. idle_balance(), load_balance_newidle() and double_lock_balance() are called and double_lock_balance() could drop the rq lock. On the other hand, CPU0 is trying to boost the priority of P1. The result of boosting only P1's prio and sched_class are changed to RT. The sched entities of P1 and P1's group are never put. It makes cfs_rq invalid, because the cfs_rq has curr and no leaf, but pick_next_task_fair() is called, then the kernel panics.

2008-03-14nfsd: fix oops on access from high-numbered portsJ. Bruce Fields
This bug was always here, but before my commit 6fa02839bf9412e18e77 ("recheck for secure ports in fh_verify"), it could only be triggered by failure of a kmalloc(). After that commit it could be triggered by a client making a request from a non-reserved port for access to an export marked "secure". (Exports are "secure" by default.) The result is a struct svc_export with a reference count one too low, resulting in likely oopses next time the export is accessed. The reference counting here is not straightforward; a later patch will clean up fh_verify(). Thanks to Lukas Hejtmanek for the bug report and followup. Signed-off-by: J.

Currently, we do nothing to guarantee we have a consistent DMA buffer for asynchronous receive packets. Rather than doing several sync's following a dma_map_single() to get consistent buffers, just switch to using dma_alloc_coherent(). Resolves constant buffer failures on my own x86_64 laptop w/4GB of RAM and likely to fix a number of other failures witnessed on x86_64 systems with 4GB of RAM or more.

2008-03-14firewire: fw-sbp2: set single-phase retry_limitJarod Wilson
Per the SBP-2 specification, all SBP-2 target devices must have a BUSY_TIMEOUT register. Per the 1394-1995 specification, the retry_limt portion of the register should be set to 0x0 initially, and set on the target by a logged in initiator (i.e., a Linux host w/firewire controller(s)). Well, as it turns out, lots of devices these days have actually moved on to starting to implement SBP-3 compliance, which says that retry_limit should default to 0xf instead (yes, SBP-3 stomps directly on 1394-1995, oops). Prior to this change, the firewire driver stack didn't touch retry_limit, and any SBP-3 compliant device worked fine, while SBP-2 compliant ones were unable to retransmit when the host returned an ack_busy_X, which resulted in stalled out I/O, eventually causing the SCSI layer to give up and offline the device. The simple fix is for us to set retry_limit to 0xf in the register for all devices (which actually matches what the old ieee1394 stack did). Prior to this change, a hard disk behind an SBP-2 Prolific PL-3507 bridge chip would routinely encounter buffer I/O errors and wind up offlined by the SCSI layer. With this change, I've encountered zero I/O failures moving tens of GB of data around. Signed-off-by: Jarod Wilson <jwilson@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>

SPI controller drivers return number of bytes actually transfered from bitbang->txrx_bufs() method. This updates handling of short transfers (where the transfer size is less than requested): - Even zero byte short transfers should report errors; - Include short transfers in the total of transferred bytes; - Use EREMOTEIO (like USB) not EMSGSIZE to report short transfers Short transfers don't normally mean invalid message sizes, but if the underlying controller driver needs to use EMSGSIZE it can still do so.

2008-03-12[NET]: Fix tbench regression in 2.6.25-rc1Zhang Yanmin
Comparing with kernel 2.6.24, tbench result has regression with 2.6.25-rc1. 1) On 2 quad-core processor stoakley: 4%. 2) On 4 quad-core processor tigerton: more than 30%. bisect located below patch. b4ce92775c2e7ff9cf79cca4e0a19c8c5fd6287b is first bad commit commit b4ce92775c2e7ff9cf79cca4e0a19c8c5fd6287b Author: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Date: Tue Nov 13 21:33:32 2007 -0800 [IPV6]: Move nfheader_len into rt6_info The dst member nfheader_len is only used by IPv6. It's also currently creating a rather ugly alignment hole in struct dst. Therefore this patch moves it from there into struct rt6_info. Above patch changes the cache line alignment, especially member __refcnt. I did a testing by adding 2 unsigned long pading before lastuse, so the 3 members, lastuse/__refcnt/__use, are moved to next cache line. The performance is recovered. I created a patch to rearrange the members in struct dst_entry. With Eric and Valdis Kletnieks's suggestion, I made finer arrangement. 1) Move tclassid under ops in case CONFIG_NET_CLS_ROUTE=y. So sizeof(dst_entry)=200 no matter if CONFIG_NET_CLS_ROUTE=y/n. I tested many patches on my 16-core tigerton by moving tclassid to different place. It looks like tclassid could also have impact on performance. If moving tclassid before metrics, or just don't move tclassid, the performance isn't good. So I move it behind metrics. 2) Add comments before __refcnt. On 16-core tigerton: If CONFIG_NET_CLS_ROUTE=y, the result with below patch is about 18% better than the one without the patch; If CONFIG_NET_CLS_ROUTE=n, the result with below patch is about 30% better than the one without the patch. With 32bit 2.6.25-rc1 on 8-core stoakley, the new patch doesn't introduce regression. Thank Eric, Valdis, and David!

2008-03-13[POWERPC] Fix large hash table allocation on Cell bladesMichael Ellerman
My recent hack to allocate the hash table under 1GB on cell was poorly tested, *cough*. It turns out on blades with large amounts of memory we fail to allocate the hash table at all. This is because RTAS has been instantiated just below 768MB, and 0-x MB are used by the kernel, leaving no areas that are both large enough and also naturally-aligned. For the cell IOMMU hack the page tables must be under 2GB, so use that as the limit instead. This has been tested on real hardware and boots happily.

2008-03-13[POWERPC] Export empty_zero_pageTheodore Ts'o
Once again, this time with feeling.... - Ted >From c91cfaabc17f8a53807a2f31f067a732e34a1550 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu> Date: Wed, 12 Mar 2008 11:50:39 -0400 Subject: Export empty_zero_page The empty_zero_page symbol is exported by most other architectures (s390, ia64, x86, um), and an upcoming ext4 patch needs it because ZERO_PAGE() references empty_zero_page, and we need it to zero out an unitialized extents in ext4 files.

2008-03-13[POWERPC] Fix viodasd driver with scatterlist debugBenjamin Herrenschmidt
The iSeries viodasd drivers does some very strange things with scatterlists, one of these causing a BUG_ON to trigger when scatterlist debugging is enabled due to initializing the scatterlist with memset instead of sg_init_table(). This fixes it by using sg_init_table(). The rest of the stuff it does to that poor list is still pretty awful but it will work. I may look into fixing things in a nicer way some other time.
