2011-06-06cfq-iosched: fix locking around ioc->ioc_data assignmentJens Axboe
Since we are modifying this RCU pointer, we need to hold the lock protecting it around it. This fixes a potential reuse and double free of a cfq io_context structure. The bug has been in CFQ for a long time, it hit very few people but those it did hit seemed to see it a lot. Tracked in RH bugzilla here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=577968 Credit goes to Paul Bolle for figuring out that the issue was around the one-hit ioc->ioc_data cache. Thanks to his hard work the issue is now fixed. Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jaxboe@fusionio.com>
2011-06-02iosched: prevent aliased requests from starving other I/OJeff Moyer
Hi, Jens, If you recall, I posted an RFC patch for this back in July of last year: http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/7/13/279 The basic problem is that a process can issue a never-ending stream of async direct I/Os to the same sector on a device, thus starving out other I/O in the system (due to the way the alias handling works in both cfq and deadline). The solution I proposed back then was to start dispatching from the fifo after a certain number of aliases had been dispatched. Vivek asked why we had to treat aliases differently at all, and I never had a good answer. So, I put together a simple patch which allows aliases to be added to the rb tree (it adds them to the right, though that doesn't matter as the order isn't guaranteed anyway). I think this is the preferred solution, as it doesn't break up time slices in CFQ or batches in deadline. I've tested it, and it does solve the starvation issue. Let me know what you think.

2011-06-01Revert "mm: fail GFP_DMA allocations when ZONE_DMA is not configured"Linus Torvalds
This reverts commit a197b59ae6e8bee56fcef37ea2482dc08414e2ac. As rmk says: "Commit a197b59ae6e8 (mm: fail GFP_DMA allocations when ZONE_DMA is not configured) is causing regressions on ARM with various drivers which use GFP_DMA. The behaviour up until now has been to silently ignore that flag when CONFIG_ZONE_DMA is not enabled, and to allocate from the normal zone. However, as a result of the above commit, such allocations now fail which causes drivers to fail. These are regressions compared to the previous kernel version." so just revert it.

2011-06-01intel-iommu: Dont cache iova above 32bitChris Wright
Mike Travis and Mike Habeck reported an issue where iova allocation would return a range that was larger than a device's dma mask. https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/3/29/423 The dmar initialization code will reserve all PCI MMIO regions and copy those reservations into a domain specific iova tree. It is possible for one of those regions to be above the dma mask of a device. It is typical to allocate iovas with a 32bit mask (despite device's dma mask possibly being larger) and cache the result until it exhausts the lower 32bit address space. Freeing the iova range that is >= the last iova in the lower 32bit range when there is still an iova above the 32bit range will corrupt the cached iova by pointing it to a region that is above 32bit. If that region is also larger than the device's dma mask, a subsequent allocation will return an unusable iova and cause dma failure. Simply don't cache an iova that is above the 32bit caching boundary.

2011-06-01intel-iommu: Speed up processing of the identity_mapping functionMike Travis
When there are a large count of PCI devices, and the pass through option for iommu is set, much time is spent in the identity_mapping function hunting though the iommu domains to check if a specific device is "identity mapped".

2011-06-01intel-iommu: Check for identity mapping candidate using system dma maskChris Wright
The identity mapping code appears to make the assumption that if the devices dma_mask is greater than 32bits the device can use identity mapping. But that is not true: take the case where we have a 40bit device in a 44bit architecture. The device can potentially receive a physical address that it will truncate and cause incorrect addresses to be used. Instead check to see if the device's dma_mask is large enough to address the system's dma_mask.

2011-06-01intel-iommu: Only unlink device domains from iommuAlex Williamson
Commit a97590e5 added unlinking domains from iommus to reciprocate the iommu from domains unlinking that was already done. We actually want to only do this for device domains and never for the static identity map domain or VM domains. The SI domain is special and never freed, while VM domain->id lives in their own special address space, separate from iommu->domain_ids. In the current code, a VM can get domain->id zero, then mark that domain unused when unbound from pci-stub. This leads to DMAR write faults when the device is re-bound to the host driver.

2011-06-01intel-iommu: Enable super page (2MiB, 1GiB, etc.) supportYouquan Song
There are no externally-visible changes with this. In the loop in the internal __domain_mapping() function, we simply detect if we are mapping: - size >= 2MiB, and - virtual address aligned to 2MiB, and - physical address aligned to 2MiB, and - on hardware that supports superpages. (and likewise for larger superpages). We automatically use a superpage for such mappings. We never have to worry about *breaking* superpages, since we trust that we will always *unmap* the same range that was mapped. So all we need to do is ensure that dma_pte_clear_range() will also cope with superpages. Adjust pfn_to_dma_pte() to take a superpage 'level' as an argument, so it can return a PTE at the appropriate level rather than always extending the page tables all the way down to level 1. Again, this is simplified by the fact that we should never encounter existing small pages when we're creating a mapping; any old mapping that used the same virtual range will have been entirely removed and its obsolete page tables freed. Provide an 'intel_iommu=sp_off' argument on the command line as a chicken bit. Not that it should ever be required. == The original commit seen in the iommu-2.6.git was Youquan's implementation (and completion) of my own half-baked code which I'd typed into an email. Followed by half a dozen subsequent 'fixes'. I've taken the unusual step of rewriting history and collapsing the original commits in order to keep the main history simpler, and make life easier for the people who are going to have to backport this to older kernels. And also so I can give it a more coherent commit comment which (hopefully) gives a better explanation of what's going on.

2011-05-31rcu: Cure load woesPeter Zijlstra
Commit cc3ce5176d83 (rcu: Start RCU kthreads in TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE state) fudges a sleeping task' state, resulting in the scheduler seeing a TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE task going to sleep, but a TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE task waking up. The result is unbalanced load calculation. The problem that patch tried to address is that the RCU threads could stay in UNINTERRUPTIBLE state for quite a while and triggering the hung task detector due to on-demand wake-ups. Cure the problem differently by always giving the tasks at least one wake-up once the CPU is fully up and running, this will kick them out of the initial UNINTERRUPTIBLE state and into the regular INTERRUPTIBLE wait state. [ The alternative would be teaching kthread_create() to start threads as INTERRUPTIBLE but that needs a tad more thought. ] Reported-by: Damien Wyart <damien.wyart@free.fr> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Paul E.

2011-05-30virtio balloon: kill tell-host-first logicDave Hansen
The virtio balloon driver has a VIRTIO_BALLOON_F_MUST_TELL_HOST feature bit. Whenever the bit is set, the guest kernel must always tell the host before we free pages back to the allocator. Without this feature, we might free a page (and have another user touch it) while the hypervisor is unprepared for it. But, if the bit is _not_ set, we are under no obligation to reverse the order; we're under no obligation to do _anything_. As of now, qemu-kvm defines the bit, but doesn't set it. This patch makes the "tell host first" logic the only case. This should make everybody happy, and reduce the amount of untested or untestable code in the kernel. This _also_ means that we don't have to preserve a pfn list after the pages are freed, which should let us get rid of some temporary storage (vb->pfns) eventually.

2011-05-30virtio_blk: allow re-reading config space at runtimeChristoph Hellwig
Wire up the virtio_driver config_changed method to get notified about config changes raised by the host. For now we just re-read the device size to support online resizing of devices, but once we add more attributes that might be changeable they could be added as well. Note that the config_changed method is called from irq context, so we'll have to use the workqueue infrastructure to provide us a proper user context for our changes.
