[PATCH] rcu: Fix sign bug making rcu_random always return the same sequence

rcu_random uses a counter rrs_count to occasionally mix data from

the rrs_counter gets declared as an unsigned long, and rcu_random checks
for --rrs_count < 0, so this code will never mix any real random data into

Also, change the return value of rcu_random from long to unsigned long, to
avoid potential issues caused by the use of the % operator, which can
return negative values for negative left operands.

[PATCH] cpufreq: make the transition_notifier chain use SRCU

This patch (as762) changes the cpufreq_transition_notifier_list from a
blocking_notifier_head to an srcu_notifier_head.  This will prevent errors
caused attempting to call down_read() to access the notifier chain at a
time when interrupts must remain disabled, during system suspend.

It's not clear to me whether this is really necessary; perhaps the chain
could be made into an atomic_notifier.  However a couple of the callout
routines do use blocking operations, so this approach seems safer.

The head of the notifier chain needs to be initialized before use; this is
done by an __init routine at core_initcall time.  If this turns out not to
be a good choice, it can easily be changed.

[PATCH] Add SRCU-based notifier chains

This patch (as751) adds a new type of notifier chain, based on the SRCU
(Sleepable Read-Copy Update) primitives recently added to the kernel.  An
SRCU notifier chain is much like a blocking notifier chain, in that it must
be called in process context and its callout routines are allowed to sleep.
 The difference is that the chain's links are protected by the SRCU
mechanism rather than by an rw-semaphore, so calling the chain has
extremely low overhead: no memory barriers and no cache-line bouncing.  On
the other hand, unregistering from the chain is expensive and the chain
head requires special runtime initialization (plus cleanup if it is to be
deallocated).

SRCU notifiers are appropriate for notifiers that will be called very
frequently and for which unregistration occurs very seldom.  The proposed
"task notifier" scheme qualifies, as may some of the network notifiers.

Updated patch adding a variant of RCU that permits sleeping in read-side
critical sections.  SRCU is as follows:

o Each use of SRCU creates its own srcu_struct, and each
srcu_struct has its own set of grace periods.  This is
critical, as it prevents one subsystem with a blocking
reader from holding up SRCU grace periods for other
subsystems.

o The SRCU primitives (srcu_read_lock(), srcu_read_unlock(),
and synchronize_srcu()) all take a pointer to a srcu_struct.

o The SRCU primitives must be called from process context.

o srcu_read_lock() returns an int that must be passed to
the matching srcu_read_unlock().  Realtime RCU avoids the
need for this by storing the state in the task struct,
but SRCU needs to allow a given code path to pass through
multiple SRCU domains -- storing state in the task struct
would therefore require either arbitrary space in the
task struct or arbitrary limits on SRCU nesting.  So I
kicked the state-storage problem up to the caller.

Of course, it is not permitted to call synchronize_srcu()
while in an SRCU read-side critical section.

o There is no call_srcu().  It would not be hard to implement
one, but it seems like too easy a way to OOM the system.

-not- permit readers to sleep!!!)  So, if you want it,

With this msi.c is finally free of assuming you have an apic, and this
actually takes less code.

The helpers for the architecture specific code are declared in the linux/msi.h

[PATCH] msi: only use a single irq_chip for msi interrupts

The logic works like this.

Since we no longer track the state logic by hand in msi.c startup and shutdown
are no longer needed.

By updating msi_set_mask_bit to work on msi devices that do not implement a
mask bit we can always call the mask/unmask functions.

What we really have are mask and unmask so we use them to implement the .mask
and .unmask functions instead of .enable and .disable.

By switching to the handle_edge_irq handler we only need an ack function that
moves the irq if necessary.  Which removes the old end and ack functions and
their peculiar logic of sometimes disabling an irq.

This removes the reliance on pre genirq irq handling methods.

By adding irq_has_action I can perform the test is a generic way, instead of

By performing the core check in dynamic_irq_cleanup I ensure every user of

In msi.c this allows me to kill the attrib.state member of msi_desc and all of
the assciated code to maintain it.

To keep from freeing data structures when irq cleanup code is called to soon

[PATCH] Initial generic hypertransport interrupt support

This patch implements two functions ht_create_irq and ht_destroy_irq for
use by drivers.  Several other functions are implemented as helpers for
arch specific irq_chip handlers.

The driver for the card I tested this on isn't yet ready to be merged.
However this code is and hypertransport irqs are in use in a few other
places in the kernel.  Not that any of this will get merged before 2.6.19

Because the ipath-ht400 is slightly out of spec this code will need to be
generalized to work there.

I think all of the powerpc uses are for a plain interrupt controller in a
chipset so support for native hypertransport devices is a little less
interesting.

However I think this is a half way decent model on how to separate arch
specific and generic helper code, and I think this is a functional model of
how to get the architecture dependencies out of the msi code.

[PATCH] genirq: msi: make the msi code irq based and not vector based

The msi currently allocates irqs backwards.  First it allocates a platform
dependent routing value for an interrupt the ``vector'' and then it figures
out from the vector which irq you are on.

For ia64 this is fine.  For x86 and x86_64 this is complete nonsense and makes
an enourmous mess of the irq handling code and prevents some pretty
significant cleanups in the code for handling large numbers of irqs.

This patch refactors msi.c to work in terms of irqs and create_irq/destroy_irq
for dynamically managing irqs.

Hopefully this is finally a version of msi.c that is useful on more than just
x86 derivatives.

Eric W. Biederman [Wed, 4 Oct 2006 09:16:37 +0000 (02:16 -0700)]
[PATCH] genirq: irq: add a dynamic irq creation API

With the msi support comes a new concept in irq handling, irqs that are
created dynamically at run time.

Currently the msi code allocates irqs backwards.  First it allocates a
platform dependent routing value for an interrupt the ``vector'' and then it
figures out from the vector which irq you are on.

This msi backwards allocator suffers from two basic problems.  The allocator
suffers because it is trying to do something that is architecture specific in
a generic way making it brittle, inflexible, and tied to tightly to the
architecture implementation.  The alloctor also suffers from it's very
backwards nature as it has tied things together that should have no
dependencies.

To solve the basic dynamic irq allocation problem two new architecture
specific functions are added: create_irq and destroy_irq.

create_irq takes no input and returns an unused irq number, that won't be
reused until it is returned to the free poll with destroy_irq.  The irq then
can be used for any purpose although the only initial consumer is the msi
code.

destroy_irq takes an irq number allocated with create_irq and returns it to
the free pool.

Making this functionality per architecture increases the simplicity of the irq
allocation code and increases it's flexibility.

dynamic_irq_init() and dynamic_irq_cleanup() are added to automate the
irq_desc initializtion that should happen for dynamic irqs.

[PATCH] genirq: msi: simplify the msi irq limit policy

Currently we attempt to predict how many irqs we will be able to allocate with
msi using pci_vector_resources and some complicated accounting, and then we
only allow each device as many irqs as we think are available on average.

Only the s2io driver even takes advantage of this feature all other drivers
have a fixed number of irqs they need and bail if they can't get them.

pci_vector_resources is inaccurate if anyone ever frees an irq.  The whole
implmentation is racy.  The current irq limit policy does not appear to make
sense with current drivers.  So I have simplified things.  We can revisit this
we we need a more sophisticated policy.

- Report in msi_ops if a 64bit address is needed in the msi message, so we
  can fail 32bit only msi structures.

- Send and receive a full struct msi_msg in both setup and target.  This is
  a little cleaner and allows for architectures that need to modify the data
  to retarget the msi interrupt to a different cpu.

- In target pass in the full cpu mask instead of just the first cpu in case
  we can make use of the full cpu mask.

- Operate in terms of irqs and not vectors, currently there is still a 1-1

[PATCH] genirq: irq: add moved_masked_irq

Currently move_native_irq disables and renables the irq we are migrating to
ensure we don't take that irq when we are actually doing the migration
operation.  Disabling the irq needs to happen but sometimes doing the work is
move_native_irq is too late.

On x86 with ioapics the irq move sequences needs to be:
edge_triggered:
  mask irq.
  move irq.
  unmask irq.
  ack irq.
level_triggered:
  mask irq.
  ack irq.
  move irq.
  unmask irq.

We can easily perform the edge triggered sequence, with the current defintion
of move_native_irq.  However the level triggered case does not map well.  For
that I have added move_masked_irq, to allow me to disable the irqs around both
the ack and the move.

Q: Why have we not seen this problem earlier?

A: The only symptom I have been able to reproduce is that if we change
   the vector before acknowleding an irq the wrong irq is acknowledged.
   Since we currently are not reprogramming the irq vector during
   migration no problems show up.

   We have to mask the irq before we acknowledge the irq or else we could
   hit a window where an irq is asserted just before we acknowledge it.

   Edge triggered irqs do not have this problem because acknowledgements
   do not propogate in the same way.

[PATCH] genirq: irq: convert the move_irq flag from a 32bit word to a single bit

The primary aim of this patchset is to remove maintenances problems caused by
the irq infrastructure.  The two big issues I address are an artificially
small cap on the number of irqs, and that MSI assumes vector == irq.  My
primary focus is on x86_64 but I have touched other architectures where
necessary to keep them from breaking.

- To increase the number of irqs I modify the code to look at the (cpu,
  vector) pair instead of just looking at the vector.

  With a large number of irqs available systems with a large irq count no
  longer need to compress their irq numbers to fit.  Removing a lot of brittle
  special cases.

  For acpi guys the result is that irq == gsi.

- Addressing the fact that MSI assumes irq == vector takes a few more
  patches.  But suffice it to say when I am done none of the generic irq code
  even knows what a vector is.

In quick testing on a large Unisys x86_64 machine we stumbled over at least
one driver that assumed that NR_IRQS could always fit into an 8 bit number.
This driver is clearly buggy today.  But this has become a class of bugs that
it is now much easier to hit.

This patch:

This is a minor space optimization.  In practice I don't think this has any
affect because of our alignment constraints and the other fields but there is
not point in chewing up an uncessary word and since we already read the flag
field this should improve the cache hit ratio of the irq handler.

NeilBrown [Wed, 4 Oct 2006 09:16:16 +0000 (02:16 -0700)]
[PATCH] knfsd: close a race-opportunity in d_splice_alias

There is a possible race in d_splice_alias.  Though __d_find_alias(inode, 1)
will only return a dentry with DCACHE_DISCONNECTED set, it is possible for it
to get cleared before the BUG_ON, and it is is not possible to lock against
that.

There are a couple of problems here.  Firstly, the code doesn't match the
comment.  The comment describes a 'disconnected' dentry as being IS_ROOT as
well as DCACHE_DISCONNECTED, however there is not testing of IS_ROOT anythere.

A dentry is marked DCACHE_DISCONNECTED when allocated with d_alloc_anon, and
remains DCACHE_DISCONNECTED while a path is built up towards the root.  So a
dentry can have a valid name and a valid parent and even grandparent, but will
still be DCACHE_DISCONNECTED until a path to the root is created.  Once the
path to the root is complete, everything in the path gets DCACHE_DISCONNECTED
cleared.  So the fact that DCACHE_DISCONNECTED isn't enough to say that a
dentry is free to be spliced in with a given name.  This can only be allowed
if the dentry does not yet have a name, so the IS_ROOT test is needed too.

However even adding that test to __d_find_alias isn't enough.  As
d_splice_alias drops dcache_lock before calling d_move to perform the splice,
it could race with another thread calling d_splice_alias to splice the inode
in with a different name in a different part of the tree (in the case where a
file has hard links).  So that splicing code is only really safe for
directories (as we know that directories only have one link).  For
directories, the caller of d_splice_alias will be holding i_mutex on the
(unique) parent so there is no room for a race.

A consequence of this is that a non-directory will never benefit from being
spliced into a pre-exisiting dentry, but that isn't a problem.  It is
perfectly OK for a non-directory to have multiple dentries, some anonymous,
some not.  And the comment for d_splice_alias says that it only happens for
directories anyway.

[PATCH] knfsd: nfsd4: acls: relax the nfsv4->posix mapping

Use a different nfsv4->(draft posix) acl mapping which is
1. completely backwards compatible,
2. accepts any nfsv4 acl, and
3. errs on the side of restricting permissions.

In detail:

1. completely backwards compatible: The new mapping produces the
same result on any acl produced by the existing (draft
posix)->nfsv4 mapping; the one exception is that we no longer
attempt to guess the value of the mask by assuming certain denies
represent the mask.  Since the server still keeps track of the mask
locally, sequences of chmod's will still be handled fine; the only
thing this will change is sequences of chmod's with intervening
read-modify-writes of the acl.  That last case just isn't worth the
trouble and the possible misrepresentations of the user's intent
(if we guess that a certain deny indicates masking is in effect
when it really isn't).

2. accepts any nfsv4 acl: That's not quite true: we still reject
acls that use combinations of inheritance flags that we don't
support.  We also reject acls that attempt to explicitly deny
read_acl or read_attributes permissions, or that attempt to deny
write_acl or write_attributes permissions to the owner of the file.

3.  errs on the side of restricting permissions: one exception to
this last rule: we totally ignore some bits (write_owner,
synchronize, read_named_attributes, etc.) that are completely alien
to our filesystem semantics, in some cases even if that would mean
ignoring an explicit deny that we have no intention of enforcing.
Excepting that, the posix acl produced should be the most
permissive acl that is not more permissive than the given nfsv4
acl.

And the new code's shorter, too.  Neato.

[PATCH] knfsd: simplify nlmsvc_invalidate_all

As a result of previous patches, the loop in nlmsvc_invalidate_all just sets
h_expires for all client/hosts to 0 (though does it in a very complicated
way).

This was possibly meant to trigger early garbage collection but half the time
'0' is in the future and so it infact delays garbage collection.

Pre-aging the 'hosts' is not really needed at this point anyway so we throw
out the loop and nlm_find_client which is no longer needed.

Greg Banks [Wed, 4 Oct 2006 09:15:50 +0000 (02:15 -0700)]
[PATCH] knfsd: knfsd: cache ipmap per TCP socket

Speed up high call-rate workloads by caching the struct ip_map for the peer on
the connected struct svc_sock instead of looking it up in the ip_map cache
hashtable on every call.  This helps workloads using AUTH_SYS authentication
over TCP.

Testing was on a 4 CPU 4 NIC Altix using 4 IRIX clients, each with 16
synthetic client threads simulating an rsync (i.e.  recursive directory
listing) workload reading from an i386 RH9 install image (161480 regular files
in 10841 directories) on the server.  That tree is small enough to fill in the
server's RAM so no disk traffic was involved.  This setup gives a sustained
call rate in excess of 60000 calls/sec before being CPU-bound on the server.

Profiling showed strcmp(), called from ip_map_match(), was taking 4.8% of each
CPU, and ip_map_lookup() was taking 2.9%.  This patch drops both contribution
into the profile noise.

Note that the above result overstates this value of this patch for most
workloads.  The synthetic clients are all using separate IP addresses, so
there are 64 entries in the ip_map cache hash.  Because the kernel measured
contained the bug fixed in commit

commit 1f1e030bf75774b6a283518e1534d598e14147d4

and was running on 64bit little-endian machine, probably all of those 64
entries were on a single chain, thus increasing the cost of ip_map_lookup().

With a modern kernel you would need more clients to see the same amount of
performance improvement.  This patch has helped to scale knfsd to handle a
deployment with 2000 NFS clients.

profiling shows nfsd_read(), including the inlined nfsd_get_raparms(), taking
