2006-07-28[SCSI] iscsi bugfixes: reduce memory allocationsMike Christie
We currently try to allocate a max_recv_data_segment_length which can be very large (default is 64K), and common uses are up to 1MB. It is very very difficult to allocte this much contiguous memory and it turns out we never even use it. We really only need a couple of pages, so this patch has us allocates just what we know what we need today. Later if vendors start adding vendor specific data and we need to handle large buffers we can do this, but for the last 4 years we have not seen anyone do this or request it.

2006-07-28[SCSI] iscsi bugfixes: fix oops when iser is flushing ioMike Christie
When we enter recovery and flush the running commands we cannot freee the connection before flushing the commands. Some commands may have a reference to the connection that needs to be released before. iscsi_stop was forcing the term and suspend too early and was causing a oops in iser, so this patch removes those callbacks all together and allows the LLD to handle that detail.

2006-07-28[SCSI] iscsi bugfixes: fix abort handlingMike Christie
Abort handler fixes. If a connection is dropped and reconnected while an abort is running then we should assume the recovery code will clean up the abort. Not doing so causes a oops. And if a command completes then we get the status for the abort, we do not need to call into the LLD to cleanup the resources. Doing this causes and oops in iser because it ends up freeing some resources twice. Signed-off-by: Mike Christie <michaelc@cs.wisc.edu> Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@SteelEye.com>
2006-07-28[SCSI] iscsi bugfixes: fix r2t handlingMike Christie
The iscsi tcp code can pluck multiple rt2s from the tasks's r2tqueue in the xmit code. This can result in the task being queued on the xmit queue but gettting completed at the same time. This patch fixes the above bug by making the fifo a list so we always remove the entry on the list del.

2006-07-26[PATCH] Reorganize the cpufreq cpu hotplug locking to not be totally bizareArjan van de Ven
The patch below moves the cpu hotplugging higher up in the cpufreq layering; this is needed to avoid recursive taking of the cpu hotplug lock and to otherwise detangle the mess. The new rules are: 1. you must do lock_cpu_hotplug() around the following functions: __cpufreq_driver_target __cpufreq_governor (for CPUFREQ_GOV_LIMITS operation only) __cpufreq_set_policy 2. governer methods (.governer) must NOT take the lock_cpu_hotplug() lock in any way; they are called with the lock taken already 3. if your governer spawns a thread that does things, like calling __cpufreq_driver_target, your thread must honor rule #1. 4. the policy lock and other cpufreq internal locks nest within the lock_cpu_hotplug() lock. I'm not entirely happy about how the __cpufreq_governor rule ended up (conditional locking rule depending on the argument) but basically all callers pass this as a constant so it's not too horrible. The patch also removes the cpufreq_governor() function since during the locking audit it turned out to be entirely unused (so no need to fix it) The patch works on my testbox, but it could use more testing (otoh... it can't be much worse than the current code) Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2006-07-23cpu hotplug: simplify and hopefully fix lockingLinus Torvalds
The CPU hotplug locking was quite messy, with a recursive lock to handle the fact that both the actual up/down sequence wanted to protect itself from being re-entered, but the callbacks that it called also tended to want to protect themselves from CPU events. This splits the lock into two (one to serialize the whole hotplug sequence, the other to protect against the CPU present bitmaps changing). The latter still allows recursive usage because some subsystems (ondemand policy for cpufreq at least) had already gotten too used to the lax locking, but the locking mistakes are hopefully now less fundamental, and we now warn about recursive lock usage when we see it, in the hope that it can be fixed.

Instead, they are fully specified from the beginning and we should pass them directly to the IRQ translator as-is. Also, fill in the necessary translator slots for the "graphics" and "expansion UPA" interrupts on Sabre, Psycho, and SYSIO SBUS. Increase PROMREG_MAX to 24, as seen on SUNW,ffb devices. Finally, prevent accidentally writing past the end of the of_device struct resource[] and irqs[] arrays. Spit out a log message when we ignore some entries because there are too many of them.

2006-07-14[PATCH] per-task delay accounting taskstats interface: control exit data ↵Shailabh Nagar
through cpumasks On systems with a large number of cpus, with even a modest rate of tasks exiting per cpu, the volume of taskstats data sent on thread exit can overflow a userspace listener's buffers. One approach to avoiding overflow is to allow listeners to get data for a limited and specific set of cpus. By scaling the number of listeners and/or the cpus they monitor, userspace can handle the statistical data overload more gracefully. In this patch, each listener registers to listen to a specific set of cpus by specifying a cpumask. The interest is recorded per-cpu. When a task exits on a cpu, its taskstats data is unicast to each listener interested in that cpu. Thanks to Andrew Morton for pointing out the various scalability and general concerns of previous attempts and for suggesting this design.

2006-07-14[PATCH] per-task delay accounting: avoid send without listenersShailabh Nagar
Don't send taskstats (per-pid or per-tgid) on thread exit when no one is listening for such data. Currently the taskstats interface allocates a structure, fills it in and calls netlink to send out per-pid and per-tgid stats regardless of whether a userspace listener for the data exists (netlink layer would check for that and avoid the multicast). As a result of this patch, the check for the no-listener case is performed early, avoiding the redundant allocation and filling up of the taskstats structures.

2006-07-14[PATCH] delay accounting taskstats interface send tgid onceShailabh Nagar
Send per-tgid data only once during exit of a thread group instead of once with each member thread exit. Currently, when a thread exits, besides its per-tid data, the per-tgid data of its thread group is also sent out, if its thread group is non-empty. The per-tgid data sent consists of the sum of per-tid stats for all *remaining* threads of the thread group. This patch modifies this sending in two ways: - the per-tgid data is sent only when the last thread of a thread group exits. This cuts down heavily on the overhead of sending/receiving per-tgid data, especially when other exploiters of the taskstats interface aren't interested in per-tgid stats - the semantics of the per-tgid data sent are changed. Instead of being the sum of per-tid data for remaining threads, the value now sent is the true total accumalated statistics for all threads that are/were part of the thread group. The patch also addresses a minor issue where failure of one accounting subsystem to fill in the taskstats structure was causing the send of taskstats to not be sent at all. The patch has been tested for stability and run cerberus for over 4 hours on an SMP.

Create a "taskstats" interface based on generic netlink (NETLINK_GENERIC family), for getting statistics of tasks and thread groups during their lifetime and when they exit. The interface is intended for use by multiple accounting packages though it is being created in the context of delay accounting. This patch creates the interface without populating the fields of the data that is sent to the user in response to a command or upon the exit of a task. Each accounting package interested in using taskstats has to provide an additional patch to add its stats to the common structure.

This isn't suitable for userspace to see -- the kernel headers are not a random library of stuff for userspace; they're only there to define the kernel<->user ABI for system libraries and tools. Anything which _was_ abusing asm/atomic.h from userspace was probably broken anyway -- as it often didn't even give atomic operation.

Remove asm/irq.h from the exported headers -- there was never any good reason for it to have been listed. Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2006-07-14[PATCH] null-terminate over-long /proc/kallsyms symbolsAndreas Gruenbacher
Got a customer bug report (https://bugzilla.novell.com/190296) about kernel symbols longer than 127 characters which end up in a string buffer that is not NULL terminated, leading to garbage in /proc/kallsyms. Using strlcpy prevents this from happening, even though such symbols still won't come out right. A better fix would be to not use a fixed-size buffer, but it's probably not worth the trouble. (Modversion'ed symbols even have a length limit of 60.)

2006-07-14[PATCH] mm: fix oom roll-back of __vmalloc_area_nodeJan Kiszka
__vunmap must not rely on area->nr_pages when picking the release methode for area->pages. It may be too small when __vmalloc_area_node failed early due to lacking memory. Instead, use a flag in vmstruct to differentiate. Signed-off-by: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@web.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2006-07-14[PATCH] fmr pool: remove unnecessary pointer dereferenceMichael S. Tsirkin
ib_fmr_pool_map_phys gets the virtual address by pointer but never writes there, and users (e.g. srp) seem to assume this and ignore the value returned. This patch cleans up the API to get the VA by value, and updates all users. Signed-off-by: Michael S.

2006-07-14[PATCH] IB/addr: gid structure alignment fixMichael S. Tsirkin
The device address contains unsigned character arrays, which contain raw GID addresses. The GIDs may not be naturally aligned, so do not cast them to structures or unions.

2006-07-14[VLAN]: __vlan_hwaccel_rx can use the faster ether_compare_addrStephen Hemminger
The inline function compare_ether_addr is faster than memcmp. Also, don't need to drag in proc_fs.h, the only reference to proc_dir_entry is a pointer so the declaration is needed here.
