2010-08-24powerpc: Re-enable preemption before cpu_die()Signed-off-by: Darren Hart
start_secondary() is called shortly after _start and also via cpu_idle()->cpu_die()->pseries_mach_cpu_die() start_secondary() expects a preempt_count() of 0. pseries_mach_cpu_die() is called via the cpu_idle() routine with preemption disabled, resulting in the following repeating message during rapid cpu offline/online tests with CONFIG_PREEMPT=y: BUG: scheduling while atomic: swapper/0/0x00000002 Modules linked in: autofs4 binfmt_misc dm_mirror dm_region_hash dm_log [last unloaded: scsi_wait_scan] Call Trace: [c00000010e7079c0] [c0000000000133ec] .show_stack+0xd8/0x218 (unreliable) [c00000010e707aa0] [c0000000006a47f0] .dump_stack+0x28/0x3c [c00000010e707b20] [c00000000006e7a4] .__schedule_bug+0x7c/0x9c [c00000010e707bb0] [c000000000699d9c] .schedule+0x104/0x800 [c00000010e707cd0] [c000000000015b24] .cpu_idle+0x1c4/0x1d8 [c00000010e707d70] [c0000000006aa1b4] .start_secondary+0x398/0x3d4 [c00000010e707e30] [c000000000008278] .start_secondary_resume+0x10/0x14 Move the cpu_die() call inside the existing preemption enabled block of cpu_idle().

2010-08-24powerpc: Make rwsem use "long" typeBenjamin Herrenschmidt
This makes the 64-bit kernel use 64-bit signed integers for the counter (effectively supporting 32-bit of active count in the semaphore), thus avoiding things like overflow of the mmap_sem if you use a really crazy number of threads Note: Ideally the type in the structure should be atomic_long_t rather than "long". However, there's some nasty issues with that. It needs to be initialized statically -and- lib/rwsem.c does things like sem->count = RWSEM_UNLOCKED_VALUE; Now, if you mix in the fact that atomic_* types are actually structures with one member and note typedefs of a scalar, it makes its really nasty. So I stuck to what we did before using a long and casts for now. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

This patch fixes a isoc transfer bug reported by Sander Eikelenboom. When ep->skip is set, endpoint ring dequeue pointer should be updated when processed every missed td. Although ring dequeue pointer will also be updated when ep->skip is clear, leave it intact during missed tds processing may cause two issues: 1). If the very next valid transfer following missed tds is a short transfer, its actual_length will be miscalculated; 2). If there are too many missed tds during transfer, new inserted tds may found the transfer ring full and urb enqueue fails.

2010-08-24USB: isp1760: use a write barrier to ensure proper ndelay timingMichael Hennerich
The ISP1760 has some timing requirements where it has to delay a short period after a write to a register has started. However, this delay is from the time the write hits the USB chip (the ISP1760), not from the time where the processor started processing the write. So on a quick enough processor, it is sometimes possible for the write to not hit the device before we start delaying, and we then violate the part's timing requirements, so things stop working. To avoid all this, insert a write barrier after the register write and before the timing delay/register read so we can guarantee we only start counting time after the write has hit the device.

2010-08-24xfs: don't do memory allocation under the CIL context lockDave Chinner
Formatting items requires memory allocation when using delayed logging. Currently that memory allocation is done while holding the CIL context lock in read mode. This means that if memory allocation takes some time (e.g. enters reclaim), we cannot push on the CIL until the allocation(s) required by formatting complete. This can stall CIL pushes for some time, and once a push is stalled so are all new transaction commits. Fix this splitting the item formatting into two steps. The first step which does the allocation and memcpy() into the allocated buffer is now done outside the CIL context lock, and only the CIL insert is done inside the CIL context lock. This avoids the stall issue. Signed-off-by: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>
2010-08-24xfs: Reduce log force overhead for delayed loggingDave Chinner
Delayed logging adds some serialisation to the log force process to ensure that it does not deference a bad commit context structure when determining if a CIL push is necessary or not. It does this by grabing the CIL context lock exclusively, then dropping it before pushing the CIL if necessary. This causes serialisation of all log forces and pushes regardless of whether a force is necessary or not. As a result fsync heavy workloads (like dbench) can be significantly slower with delayed logging than without. To avoid this penalty, copy the current sequence from the context to the CIL structure when they are swapped. This allows us to do unlocked checks on the current sequence without having to worry about dereferencing context structures that may have already been freed. Hence we can remove the CIL context locking in the forcing code and only call into the push code if the current context matches the sequence we need to force. By passing the sequence into the push code, we can check the sequence again once we have the CIL lock held exclusive and abort if the sequence has already been pushed. This avoids a lock round-trip and unnecessary CIL pushes when we have racing push calls. The result is that the regression in dbench performance goes away - this change improves dbench performance on a ramdisk from ~2100MB/s to ~2500MB/s. This compares favourably to not using delayed logging which retuns ~2500MB/s for the same workload. Signed-off-by: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>
2010-08-24xfs: dummy transactions should not dirty VFS stateDave Chinner
When we need to cover the log, we issue dummy transactions to ensure the current log tail is on disk. Unfortunately we currently use the root inode in the dummy transaction, and the act of committing the transaction dirties the inode at the VFS level. As a result, the VFS writeback of the dirty inode will prevent the filesystem from idling long enough for the log covering state machine to complete. The state machine gets stuck in a loop issuing new dummy transactions to cover the log and never makes progress. To avoid this problem, the dummy transactions should not cause externally visible state changes. To ensure this occurs, make sure that dummy transactions log an unchanging field in the superblock as it's state is never propagated outside the filesystem. This allows the log covering state machine to complete successfully and the filesystem now correctly enters a fully idle state about 90s after the last modification was made.

2010-08-24xfs: ensure f_ffree returned by statfs() is non-negativeStuart Brodsky
Because of delayed updates to sb_icount field in the super block, it is possible to allocate over maxicount number of inodes. This causes the arithmetic to calculate a negative number of free inodes in user commands like df or stat -f. Since maxicount is a somewhat arbitrary number, a slight over allocation is not critical but user commands should be displayed as 0 or greater and never go negative. To do this the value in the stats buffer f_ffree is capped to never go negative.

2010-08-24xfs: handle negative wbc->nr_to_write during sync writebackDave Chinner
During data integrity (WB_SYNC_ALL) writeback, wbc->nr_to_write will go negative on inodes with more than 1024 dirty pages due to implementation details of write_cache_pages(). Currently XFS will abort page clustering in writeback once nr_to_write drops below zero, and so for data integrity writeback we will do very inefficient page at a time allocation and IO submission for inodes with large numbers of dirty pages. Fix this by only aborting the page clustering code when wbc->nr_to_write is negative and the sync mode is WB_SYNC_NONE.

Enabling writeback tracing showed: flush-253:16-8516 [007] 1342952.351608: wbc_writepage: bdi 253:16: towrt=1024 skip=0 mode=0 kupd=0 bgrd=1 reclm=0 cyclic=1 more=0 older=0x0 start=0x0 end=0x0 flush-253:16-8516 [007] 1342952.351654: wbc_writepage: bdi 253:16: towrt=1023 skip=0 mode=0 kupd=0 bgrd=1 reclm=0 cyclic=1 more=0 older=0x0 start=0x0 end=0x0 flush-253:16-8516 [000] 1342952.369520: wbc_writepage: bdi 253:16: towrt=0 skip=0 mode=0 kupd=0 bgrd=1 reclm=0 cyclic=1 more=0 older=0x0 start=0x0 end=0x0 flush-253:16-8516 [000] 1342952.369542: wbc_writepage: bdi 253:16: towrt=-1 skip=0 mode=0 kupd=0 bgrd=1 reclm=0 cyclic=1 more=0 older=0x0 start=0x0 end=0x0 flush-253:16-8516 [000] 1342952.369549: wbc_writepage: bdi 253:16: towrt=-2 skip=0 mode=0 kupd=0 bgrd=1 reclm=0 cyclic=1 more=0 older=0x0 start=0x0 end=0x0 Writeback is not terminating in background writeback if ->writepage is returning with wbc->nr_to_write == 0, resulting in sub-optimal single page writeback on XFS. Fix the write_cache_pages loop to terminate correctly when this situation occurs and so prevent this sub-optimal background writeback pattern. This improves sustained sequential buffered write performance from around 250MB/s to 750MB/s for a 100GB file on an XFS filesystem on my 8p test VM.

2010-08-24xfs: fix untrusted inode number lookupDave Chinner
Commit 7124fe0a5b619d65b739477b3b55a20bf805b06d ("xfs: validate untrusted inode numbers during lookup") changes the inode lookup code to do btree lookups for untrusted inode numbers. This change made an invalid assumption about the alignment of inodes and hence incorrectly calculated the first inode in the cluster. As a result, some inode numbers were being incorrectly considered invalid when they were actually valid. The issue was not picked up by the xfstests suite because it always runs fsr and dump (the two utilities that utilise the bulkstat interface) on cache hot inodes and hence the lookup code in the cold cache path was not sufficiently exercised to uncover this intermittent problem. Fix the issue by relaxing the btree lookup criteria and then checking if the record returned contains the inode number we are lookup for. If it we get an incorrect record, then the inode number is invalid. Cc: <stable@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>
2010-08-24xfs: ensure we mark all inodes in a freed cluster XFS_ISTALEDave Chinner
Under heavy load parallel metadata loads (e.g. dbench), we can fail to mark all the inodes in a cluster being freed as XFS_ISTALE as we skip inodes we cannot get the XFS_ILOCK_EXCL or the flush lock on. When this happens and the inode cluster buffer has already been marked stale and freed, inode reclaim can try to write the inode out as it is dirty and not marked stale. This can result in writing th metadata to an freed extent, or in the case it has already been overwritten trigger a magic number check failure and return an EUCLEAN error such as: Filesystem "ram0": inode 0x442ba1 background reclaim flush failed with 117 Fix this by ensuring that we hoover up all in memory inodes in the cluster and mark them XFS_ISTALE when freeing the cluster.

2010-08-24xfs: unlock items before allowing the CIL to commitDave Chinner
When we commit a transaction using delayed logging, we need to unlock the items in the transaciton before we unlock the CIL context and allow it to be checkpointed. If we unlock them after we release the CIl context lock, the CIL can checkpoint and complete before we free the log items. This breaks stale buffer item unlock and unpin processing as there is an implicit assumption that the unlock will occur before the unpin. Also, some log items need to store the LSN of the transaction commit in the item (inodes and EFIs) and so can race with other transaction completions if we don't prevent the CIL from checkpointing before the unlock occurs.
