2009-04-28netfilter: revised locking for x_tablesStephen Hemminger
The x_tables are organized with a table structure and a per-cpu copies of the counters and rules. On older kernels there was a reader/writer lock per table which was a performance bottleneck. In 2.6.30-rc, this was converted to use RCU and the counters/rules which solved the performance problems for do_table but made replacing rules much slower because of the necessary RCU grace period. This version uses a per-cpu set of spinlocks and counters to allow to table processing to proceed without the cache thrashing of a global reader lock and keeps the same performance for table updates.

2009-04-28Bluetooth: Add different pairing timeout for Legacy PairingMarcel Holtmann
The Bluetooth stack uses a reference counting for all established ACL links and if no user (L2CAP connection) is present, the link will be terminated to save power. The problem part is the dedicated pairing when using Legacy Pairing (Bluetooth 2.0 and before). At that point no user is present and pairing attempts will be disconnected within 10 seconds or less. In previous kernel version this was not a problem since the disconnect timeout wasn't triggered on incoming connections for the first time. However this caused issues with broken host stacks that kept the connections around after dedicated pairing. When the support for Simple Pairing got added, the link establishment procedure needed to be changed and now causes issues when using Legacy Pairing When using Simple Pairing it is possible to do a proper reference counting of ACL link users. With Legacy Pairing this is not possible since the specification is unclear in some areas and too many broken Bluetooth devices have already been deployed. So instead of trying to deal with all the broken devices, a special pairing timeout will be introduced that increases the timeout to 60 seconds when pairing is triggered. If a broken devices now puts the stack into an unforeseen state, the worst that happens is the disconnect timeout triggers after 120 seconds instead of 4 seconds. This allows successful pairings with legacy and broken devices now. Based on a report by Johan Hedberg <johan.hedberg@nokia.com> Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann <marcel@holtmann.org>

2009-04-28net: Avoid extra wakeups of threads blocked in wait_for_packet()Eric Dumazet
In 2.6.25 we added UDP mem accounting. This unfortunatly added a penalty when a frame is transmitted, since we have at TX completion time to call sock_wfree() to perform necessary memory accounting. This calls sock_def_write_space() and utimately scheduler if any thread is waiting on the socket. Thread(s) waiting for an incoming frame was scheduled, then had to sleep again as event was meaningless. (All threads waiting on a socket are using same sk_sleep anchor) This adds lot of extra wakeups and increases latencies, as noted by Christoph Lameter, and slows down softirq handler. Reference : http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=124060437012283&w=2 Fortunatly, Davide Libenzi recently added concept of keyed wakeups into kernel, and particularly for sockets (see commit 37e5540b3c9d838eb20f2ca8ea2eb8072271e403 epoll keyed wakeups: make sockets use keyed wakeups) Davide goal was to optimize epoll, but this new wakeup infrastructure can help non epoll users as well, if they care to setup an appropriate handler. This patch introduces new DEFINE_WAIT_FUNC() helper and uses it in wait_for_packet(), so that only relevant event can wakeup a thread blocked in this function. Trace of function calls from bnx2 TX completion bnx2_poll_work() is : __kfree_skb() skb_release_head_state() sock_wfree() sock_def_write_space() __wake_up_sync_key() __wake_up_common() receiver_wake_function() : Stops here since thread is waiting for an INPUT Reported-by: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux.com> Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-04-26Add new HEAD_TEXT_SECTION macro.Tim Abbott
This patch is preparation for replacing all uses of ".head.text" or ".text.head" in the kernel with macros, so that the section name can later be changed without having to touch a lot of the kernel. Since some linker scripts do more complex things than referencing HEAD_TEXT, we add a HEAD_TEXT_SECTION macro that just contains the actual name. I've defined HEAD_TEXT_SECTION in a new header, include/linux/section-names.h, so that this section name only needs to appear in one place. I anticipate creating similar macro structures for a number of other section names. The long-term goal here is to be able to change the kernel's magic section names to those that are compatible with -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections. This requires renaming all magic sections with names of the form ".text.foo". Signed-off-by: Tim Abbott <tabbott@mit.edu> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Impact: fix bio_kmalloc() and its destruction path bio_kmalloc() was broken in two ways. * bvec_alloc_bs() first allocates bvec using kmalloc() and then ignores it and allocates again like non-kmalloc bvecs. * bio_kmalloc_destructor() didn't check for and free bio integrity data. This patch fixes the above problems. kmalloc patch is separated out from bio_alloc_bioset() and allocates the requested number of bvecs as inline bvecs. * bio_alloc_bioset() no longer takes NULL @bs. None other than bio_kmalloc() used it and outside users can't know how it was allocated anyway. * Define and use BIO_POOL_NONE so that pool index check in bvec_free_bs() triggers if inline or kmalloc allocated bvec gets there. * Relocate destructors on top of each allocation function so that how they're used is more clear.

2009-04-21driver synchronization: make scsi_wait_scan more advancedArjan van de Ven
There is currently only one way for userspace to say "wait for my storage device to get ready for the modules I just loaded": to load the scsi_wait_scan module. Expectations of userspace are that once this module is loaded, all the (storage) devices for which the drivers were loaded before the module load are present. Now, there are some issues with the implementation, and the async stuff got caught in the middle of this: The existing code only waits for the scsy async probing to finish, but it did not take into account at all that probing might not have begun yet. (Russell ran into this problem on his computer and the fix works for him) This patch fixes this more thoroughly than the previous "fix", which had some bad side effects (namely, for kernel code that wanted to wait for the scsi scan it would also do an async sync, which would deadlock if you did it from async context already.. there's a report about that on lkml): The patch makes the module first wait for all device driver probes, and then it will wait for the scsi parallel scan to finish.

It would be nice to collect these in linux/percpu.h, but that's not possible without sorting out the severe #include recursion between the x86 arch headers and the general headers (and possibly other arches too).

2009-04-21FRV: Fix the section attribute on UP DECLARE_PER_CPU()David Howells
In non-SMP mode, the variable section attribute specified by DECLARE_PER_CPU() does not agree with that specified by DEFINE_PER_CPU(). This means that architectures that have a small data section references relative to a base register may throw up linkage errors due to too great a displacement between where the base register points and the per-CPU variable. On FRV, the .h declaration says that the variable is in the .sdata section, but the .c definition says it's actually in the .data section. The linker throws up the following errors: kernel/built-in.o: In function `release_task': kernel/exit.c:78: relocation truncated to fit: R_FRV_GPREL12 against symbol `per_cpu__process_counts' defined in .data section in kernel/built-in.o kernel/exit.c:78: relocation truncated to fit: R_FRV_GPREL12 against symbol `per_cpu__process_counts' defined in .data section in kernel/built-in.o To fix this, DECLARE_PER_CPU() should simply apply the same section attribute as does DEFINE_PER_CPU(). However, this is made slightly more complex by virtue of the fact that there are several variants on DEFINE, so these need to be matched by variants on DECLARE.

2009-04-21drm/i915: add support for G41 chipsetZhenyu Wang
This had been delayed for some time due to failure to work on the one piece of G41 hardware we had, and lack of success reports from anybody else. Current hardware appears to be OK.

2009-04-21spi: documentation: emphasise spi_master.setup() semanticsDavid Brownell
This is a doc-only patch which I hope will reduce the number of spi_master controller driver patches starting out with a common implementation bug. (As in: almost every spi_master driver I see starts out with its version of this bug. Sigh.) It just re-emphasizes that the setup() method may be called for one device while a transfer is active on another ... which means that most driver implementations shouldn't touch any registers.

2009-04-21clocksource: add enable() and disable() callbacksMagnus Damm
Add enable() and disable() callbacks for clocksources. This allows us to put unused clocksources in power save mode. The functions clocksource_enable() and clocksource_disable() wrap the callbacks and are inserted in the timekeeping code to enable before use and disable after switching to a new clocksource.
