x86: Simplify code by removing a !SMP #ifdefs from 'struct cpuinfo_x86'

commit 141168c36cdee3ff23d9c7700b0edc47cb65479f and
commit 3f806e50981825fa56a7f1938f24c0680816be45 upstream.

Several fields in struct cpuinfo_x86 were not defined for the
!SMP case, likely to save space.  However, those fields still
have some meaning for UP, and keeping them allows some #ifdef
removal from other files.  The additional size of the UP kernel
from this change is not significant enough to worry about
keeping up the distinction:

   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
4737168  506459  972040 6215667  5ed7f3 vmlinux.o.before
4737444  506459  972040 6215943  5ed907 vmlinux.o.after

for a difference of 276 bytes for an example UP config.

If someone wants those 276 bytes back badly then it should
be implemented in a cleaner way.

If we hit a condition where we have allocated metadata blocks that

commit bf6932f44a7b3fa7e2246a8b18a44670e5eab6c2 upstream.

From Al Viro:

BTW, speaking of struct file treatment related to sockets -
        there's this piece of code in iscsi:
        /*
         * The SCTP stack needs struct socket->file.
         */
        if ((np->np_network_transport == ISCSI_SCTP_TCP) ||
            (np->np_network_transport == ISCSI_SCTP_UDP)) {
                if (!new_sock->file) {
                        new_sock->file = kzalloc(
                                        sizeof(struct file), GFP_KERNEL);

For one thing, as far as I can see it'not true - sctp does *not* depend on
socket->file being non-NULL; it does, in one place, check socket->file->f_flags
for O_NONBLOCK, but there it treats NULL socket->file as "flag not set".
Which is the case here anyway - the fake struct file created in
__iscsi_target_login_thread() (and in iscsi_target_setup_login_socket(), with
the same excuse) do *not* get that flag set.

Moreover, it's a bloody serious violation of a bunch of asserts in VFS;
all struct file instances should come from filp_cachep, via get_empty_filp()
(or alloc_file(), which is a wrapper for it).  FWIW, I'm very tempted to
do this and be done with the entire mess:

Rapid ata hotplug on a libsas controller results in cases where libsas
is waiting indefinitely on eh to perform an ata probe.

A race exists between scsi_schedule_eh() and scsi_restart_operations()

in the sas domain.  When this happens the host state transitions from
SHOST_RECOVERY (set by scsi_schedule_eh) back to SHOST_RUNNING and
->host_busy is non-zero so we put the eh thread to sleep even though
->host_eh_scheduled is active.

Before putting the error handler to sleep we need to check if the
host_state needs to return to SHOST_RECOVERY for another trip through
eh.  Since i/o that is released by scsi_restart_operations has been
blocked for at least one eh cycle, this implementation allows those
i/o's to run before another eh cycle starts to discourage hung task
timeouts.

Avoid dangling pointer in scsi_requeue_command()

When we call scsi_unprep_request() the command associated with the request
gets destroyed and therefore drops its reference on the device.  If this was
the only reference, the device may get released and we end up with a NULL

Fix device removal NULL pointer dereference

commit 67bd94130015c507011af37858989b199c52e1de upstream.

Use blk_queue_dead() to test whether the queue is dead instead
of !sdev. Since scsi_prep_fn() may be invoked concurrently with
__scsi_remove_device(), keep the queuedata (sdev) pointer in

can be triggered by USB device removal. See also
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-scsi/msg56254.html.

Other changes included in this patch:
- Swap the blk_cleanup_queue() and kfree() calls in
  scsi_host_dev_release() to make that code easier to grasp.
- Remove the queue dead check from scsi_run_queue() since the
  queue state can change anyway at any point in that function
  where the queue lock is not held.
- Remove the queue dead check from the start of scsi_request_fn()

11 years agoworkqueue: perform cpu down operations from low priority cpu_notifier()
Tejun Heo [Tue, 17 Jul 2012 19:39:26 +0000 (12:39 -0700)]
workqueue: perform cpu down operations from low priority cpu_notifier()

commit 6575820221f7a4dd6eadecf7bf83cdd154335eda upstream.

Currently, all workqueue cpu hotplug operations run off
CPU_PRI_WORKQUEUE which is higher than normal notifiers.  This is to
ensure that workqueue is up and running while bringing up a CPU before
other notifiers try to use workqueue on the CPU.

Per-cpu workqueues are supposed to remain working and bound to the CPU
for normal CPU_DOWN_PREPARE notifiers.  This holds mostly true even
with workqueue offlining running with higher priority because
workqueue CPU_DOWN_PREPARE only creates a bound trustee thread which
runs the per-cpu workqueue without concurrency management without
explicitly detaching the existing workers.

However, if the trustee needs to create new workers, it creates
unbound workers which may wander off to other CPUs while
CPU_DOWN_PREPARE notifiers are in progress.  Furthermore, if the CPU
down is cancelled, the per-CPU workqueue may end up with workers which
aren't bound to the CPU.

While reliably reproducible with a convoluted artificial test-case
involving scheduling and flushing CPU burning work items from CPU down
notifiers, this isn't very likely to happen in the wild, and, even
when it happens, the effects are likely to be hidden by the following
successful CPU down.

Fix it by using different priorities for up and down notifiers - high
priority for up operations and low priority for down operations.

Workqueue cpu hotplug operations will soon go through further cleanup.

Commit d83579e2a50ac68389e6b4c58b845c702cf37516 incorporated some
changes from the vendor driver that made it newly important that the
calculated hardware version correctly include the CHIP_92D bit, as all
of the IS_92D_* macros were changed to depend on it.  However, this bit
was being unset for dual-mac, dual-phy devices.  The vendor driver
behavior was modified to not do this, but unfortunately this change was
not picked up along with the others.  This caused scanning in the 2.4GHz
band to be broken, and possibly other bugs as well.

This patch brings the version calculation logic in parity with the
vendor driver in this regard, and in doing so fixes the regression.
However, the version calculation code in general continues to be largely

s390/idle: fix sequence handling vs cpu hotplug

commit 0008204ffe85d23382d6fd0f971f3f0fbe70bae2 upstream.

The s390 idle accounting code uses a sequence counter which gets used
when the per cpu idle statistics get updated and read.

One assumption on read access is that only when the sequence counter is
even and did not change while reading all values the result is valid.
On cpu hotplug however the per cpu data structure gets initialized via
a cpu hotplug notifier on CPU_ONLINE.
CPU_ONLINE however is too late, since the onlined cpu is already running
and might access the per cpu data. Worst case is that the data structure
gets initialized while an idle thread is updating its idle statistics.
This will result in an uneven sequence counter after an update.

As a result user space tools like top, which access /proc/stat in order
to get idle stats, will busy loop waiting for the sequence counter to
become even again, which will never happen until the queried cpu will
update its idle statistics again. And even then the sequence counter
will only have an even value for a couple of cpu cycles.

Fix this by moving the initialization of the per cpu idle statistics
to cpu_init(). I prefer that solution in favor of changing the
notifier to CPU_UP_PREPARE, which would be a different solution to
the problem.

x86, microcode: Sanitize per-cpu microcode reloading interface

commit c9fc3f778a6a215ace14ee556067c73982b6d40f upstream.

Microcode reloading in a per-core manner is a very bad idea for both
major x86 vendors. And the thing is, we have such interface with which
we can end up with different microcode versions applied on different
cores of an otherwise homogeneous wrt (family,model,stepping) system.

So turn off the possibility of doing that per core and allow it only
system-wide.

This is a minimal fix which we'd like to see in stable too thus the
more-or-less arbitrary decision to allow system-wide reloading only on
the BSP:

$ echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/microcode/reload
...

and disable the interface on the other cores:

$ echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu23/microcode/reload
-bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument

Also, allowing the reload only from one CPU (the BSP in
that case) doesn't allow the reload procedure to degenerate
into an O(n^2) deal when triggering reloads from all
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/microcode/reload sysfs nodes
simultaneously.

A more generic fix will follow.

ftrace: Disable function tracing during suspend/resume and hibernation, again

commit 443772d408a25af62498793f6f805ce3c559309a upstream.

If function tracing is enabled for some of the low-level suspend/resume
functions, it leads to triple fault during resume from suspend, ultimately
ending up in a reboot instead of a resume (or a total refusal to come out
of suspended state, on some machines).

This issue was explained in more detail in commit f42ac38c59e0a03d (ftrace:
disable tracing for suspend to ram). However, the changes made by that commit
got reverted by commit cbe2f5a6e84eebb (tracing: allow tracing of
suspend/resume & hibernation code again). So, unfortunately since things are
not yet robust enough to allow tracing of low-level suspend/resume functions,
suspend/resume is still broken when ftrace is enabled.

So fix this by disabling function tracing during suspend/resume & hibernation.

A "usb0" interface that has never been connected to a host has an unknown
operstate, and therefore the IFF_RUNNING flag is (incorrectly) asserted
when queried by ifconfig, ifplugd, etc.  This is a result of calling

Each task would kmap part of its address array before getting stuck, but
not enough to actually issue the write.

This patch fixes this by serializing the marshal_iov operations for
async reads and writes. The idea here is to ensure that cifs
aggressively tries to populate a request before attempting to fulfill
another one. As soon as all of the pages are kmapped for a request, then
we can unlock and allow another one to proceed.

There's no need to do this serialization on non-CONFIG_HIGHMEM arches
however, so optimize all of this out when CONFIG_HIGHMEM isn't set.

r8169: RxConfig hack for the 8168evl.

The 8168evl (RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_34) based Gigabyte GA-990FXA motherboards
are very prone to NETDEV watchdog problems without this change. See
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42899 for instance.

I don't know why it *works*. It's depressingly effective though.

For the record:
- the problem may go along IOMMU (AMD-Vi) errors but it really looks
  like a red herring.
- the patch sets the RX_MULTI_EN bit. If the 8168c doc is any guide,
  the chipset now fetches several Rx descriptors at a time.
- long ago the driver ignored the RX_MULTI_EN bit.
  e542a2269f232d61270ceddd42b73a4348dee2bb changed the RxConfig
  settings. Whatever the problem it's now labeled a regression.
- Realtek's own driver can identify two different 8168evl devices
  (CFG_METHOD_16 and CFG_METHOD_17) where the r8169 driver only
  sees one. It sucks.

Follow up on commit 556061b00 ("sched/nohz: Fix rq->cpu_load[]

mostly idle case.

balance pass during the nohz, or there was a 'significant' amount of
idle time between the last nohz balance and the nohz exit.

So we'll update unconditionally from the tick to not insert any
accidental 0 load periods while busy, and we try and catch up from
nohz idle balance and nohz exit. Both these are still prone to missing

While investigating why the load-balancer did funny I found that the
rq->cpu_load[] tables were completely screwy.. a bit more digging
revealed that the updates that got through were missing ticks followed
by a catchup of 2 ticks.

The catchup assumes the cpu was idle during that time (since only nohz
can cause missed ticks and the machine is idle etc..) this means that
esp. the higher indices were significantly lower than they ought to
be.

The reason for this is that its not correct to compare against jiffies
on every jiffy on any other cpu than the cpu that updates jiffies.

This patch cludges around it by only doing the catch-up stuff from
nohz_idle_balance() and doing the regular stuff unconditionally from

cpuset: mm: reduce large amounts of memory barrier related damage v3

commit cc9a6c8776615f9c194ccf0b63a0aa5628235545 upstream.

Stable note:  Not tracked in Bugzilla. [get|put]_mems_allowed() is extremely
expensive and severely impacted page allocator performance. This
is part of a series of patches that reduce page allocator overhead.

Commit c0ff7453bb5c ("cpuset,mm: fix no node to alloc memory when
changing cpuset's mems") wins a super prize for the largest number of
memory barriers entered into fast paths for one commit.

[get|put]_mems_allowed is incredibly heavy with pairs of full memory
barriers inserted into a number of hot paths.  This was detected while
investigating at large page allocator slowdown introduced some time
after 2.6.32.  The largest portion of this overhead was shown by
oprofile to be at an mfence introduced by this commit into the page
allocator hot path.

For extra style points, the commit introduced the use of yield() in an
implementation of what looks like a spinning mutex.

This patch replaces the full memory barriers on both read and write
sides with a sequence counter with just read barriers on the fast path
side.  This is much cheaper on some architectures, including x86.  The
main bulk of the patch is the retry logic if the nodemask changes in a
manner that can cause a false failure.

While updating the nodemask, a check is made to see if a false failure
is a risk.  If it is, the sequence number gets bumped and parallel
allocators will briefly stall while the nodemask update takes place.

In a page fault test microbenchmark, oprofile samples from
__alloc_pages_nodemask went from 4.53% of all samples to 1.15%.  The

The overall improvement is small but the System CPU time is much
improved and roughly in correlation to what oprofile reported (these
performance figures are without profiling so skew is expected).  The
actual number of page faults is noticeably improved.

For benchmarks like kernel builds, the overall benefit is marginal but
the system CPU time is slightly reduced.

To test the actual bug the commit fixed I opened two terminals.  The
first ran within a cpuset and continually ran a small program that
faulted 100M of anonymous data.  In a second window, the nodemask of the
cpuset was continually randomised in a loop.

Without the commit, the program would fail every so often (usually
within 10 seconds) and obviously with the commit everything worked fine.
With this patch applied, it also worked fine so the fix should be
functionally equivalent.

mm: vmscan: convert global reclaim to per-memcg LRU lists

commit b95a2f2d486d0d768a92879c023a03757b9c7e58 upstream - WARNING: this is a substitute patch.

Stable note: Not tracked in Bugzilla. This is a partial backport of an
upstream commit addressing a completely different issue
that accidentally contained an important fix. The workload
this patch helps was memcached when IO is started in the
background. memcached should stay resident but without this patch
it gets swapped. Sometimes this manifests as a drop in throughput
but mostly it was observed through /proc/vmstat.

Commit [246e87a9: memcg: fix get_scan_count() for small targets] was meant
to fix a problem whereby small scan targets on memcg were ignored causing
priority to raise too sharply. It forced scanning to take place if the
target was small, memcg or kswapd.

From the time it was introduced it caused excessive reclaim by kswapd
with workloads being pushed to swap that previously would have stayed
resident. This was accidentally fixed in commit [b95a2f2d: mm: vmscan:
convert global reclaim to per-memcg LRU lists] by making it harder for
kswapd to force scan small targets but that patchset is not suitable for
backporting. This was later changed again by commit [90126375: mm/vmscan:
push lruvec pointer into get_scan_count()] into a format that looks
like it would be a straight-forward backport but there is a subtle
difference due to the use of lruvecs.

The impact of the accidental fix is to make it harder for kswapd to force
scan small targets by taking zone->all_unreclaimable into account. This
patch is the closest equivalent available based on what is backported.

vmscan: promote shared file mapped pages

commit 34dbc67a644f11ab3475d822d72e25409911e760 upstream.

Stable note: Not tracked in Bugzilla. There were reports of shared
mapped pages being unfairly reclaimed in comparison to older kernels.
This is being addressed over time. The specific workload being
addressed here in described in paragraph four and while paragraph
five says it did not help performance as such, it made a difference
to major page faults. I'm aware of at least one bug for a large
vendor that was due to increased major faults.

Commit 645747462435 ("vmscan: detect mapped file pages used only once")
greatly decreases lifetime of single-used mapped file pages.
Unfortunately it also decreases life time of all shared mapped file
pages.  Because after commit bf3f3bc5e7347 ("mm: don't mark_page_accessed
in fault path") page-fault handler does not mark page active or even
referenced.

Thus page_check_references() activates file page only if it was used twice
while it stays in inactive list, meanwhile it activates anon pages after
first access.  Inactive list can be small enough, this way reclaimer can
accidentally throw away any widely used page if it wasn't used twice in
short period.

After this patch page_check_references() also activate file mapped page at
first inactive list scan if this page is already used multiple times via
several ptes.

I found this while trying to fix degragation in rhel6 (~2.6.32) from rhel5
(~2.6.18).  There a complete mess with >100 web/mail/spam/ftp containers,
they share all their files but there a lot of anonymous pages: ~500mb
shared file mapped memory and 15-20Gb non-shared anonymous memory.  In
this situation major-pagefaults are very costly, because all containers
share the same page.  In my load kernel created a disproportionate
pressure on the file memory, compared with the anonymous, they equaled
only if I raise swappiness up to 150 =)

These patches actually wasn't helped a lot in my problem, but I saw
noticable (10-20 times) reduce in count and average time of
major-pagefault in file-mapped areas.

Actually both patches are fixes for commit v2.6.33-5448-g6457474, because
it was aimed at one scenario (singly used pages), but it breaks the logic
in other scenarios (shared and/or executable pages)

mm: vmscan: check if reclaim should really abort even if compaction_ready() is true for one zone

commit 0cee34fd72c582b4f8ad8ce00645b75fb4168199 upstream.

Stable note: Not tracked on Bugzilla. THP and compaction was found to
aggressively reclaim pages and stall systems under different
situations that was addressed piecemeal over time.

If compaction can proceed for a given zone, shrink_zones() does not
reclaim any more pages from it.  After commit [e0c2327: vmscan: abort
reclaim/compaction if compaction can proceed], do_try_to_free_pages()
tries to finish as soon as possible once one zone can compact.

This was intended to prevent slabs being shrunk unnecessarily but there
are side-effects.  One is that a small zone that is ready for compaction
will abort reclaim even if the chances of successfully allocating a THP
from that zone is small.  It also means that reclaim can return too early
even though sc->nr_to_reclaim pages were not reclaimed.

This partially reverts the commit until it is proven that slabs are really
being shrunk unnecessarily but preserves the check to return 1 to avoid
OOM if reclaim was aborted prematurely.

mm: vmscan: do not OOM if aborting reclaim to start compaction

commit 7335084d446b83cbcb15da80497d03f0c1dc9e21 upstream.

Stable note: Not tracked in Bugzilla. This patch makes later patches
easier to apply but otherwise has little to justify it. The
problem it fixes was never observed but the source of the
theoretical problem did not exist for very long.

During direct reclaim it is possible that reclaim will be aborted so that
compaction can be attempted to satisfy a high-order allocation.  If this
decision is made before any pages are reclaimed, it is possible that 0 is
returned to the page allocator potentially triggering an OOM.  This has
not been observed but it is a possibility so this patch addresses it.

mm: vmscan: when reclaiming for compaction, ensure there are sufficient free pages available

commit fe4b1b244bdb96136855f2c694071cb09d140766 upstream.

Stable note: Not tracked on Bugzilla. THP and compaction was found to
aggressively reclaim pages and stall systems under different
situations that was addressed piecemeal over time. This patch
addresses a problem where the fix regressed THP allocation
success rates.

In commit e0887c19 ("vmscan: limit direct reclaim for higher order
allocations"), Rik noted that reclaim was too aggressive when THP was
enabled.  In his initial patch he used the number of free pages to decide
if reclaim should abort for compaction.  My feedback was that reclaim and
compaction should be using the same logic when deciding if reclaim should
be aborted.

Unfortunately, this had the effect of reducing THP success rates when the
workload included something like streaming reads that continually
allocated pages.  The window during which compaction could run and return
a THP was too small.

This patch combines Rik's two patches together.  compaction_suitable() is
still used to decide if reclaim should be aborted to allow compaction is
used.  However, it will also ensure that there is a reasonable buffer of
free pages available.  This improves upon the THP allocation success rates
but bounds the number of pages that are freed for compaction.

mm: compaction: introduce sync-light migration for use by compaction

commit a6bc32b899223a877f595ef9ddc1e89ead5072b8 upstream.

Stable note: Not tracked in Buzilla. This was part of a series that
reduced interactivity stalls experienced when THP was enabled.
These stalls were particularly noticable when copying data
to a USB stick but the experiences for users varied a lot.

This patch adds a lightweight sync migrate operation MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT
mode that avoids writing back pages to backing storage.  Async compaction
maps to MIGRATE_ASYNC while sync compaction maps to MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT.
For other migrate_pages users such as memory hotplug, MIGRATE_SYNC is
used.

This avoids sync compaction stalling for an excessive length of time,
particularly when copying files to a USB stick where there might be a
large number of dirty pages backed by a filesystem that does not support
->writepages.

Stable note: Not tracked in Buzilla. This was part of a series that
reduced interactivity stalls experienced when THP was enabled.

If compaction is deferred, direct reclaim is used to try to free enough
pages for the allocation to succeed.  For small high-orders, this has a
reasonable chance of success.  However, if the caller has specified
__GFP_NO_KSWAPD to limit the disruption to the system, it makes more sense
to fail the allocation rather than stall the caller in direct reclaim.
This patch skips direct reclaim if compaction is deferred and the caller
specifies __GFP_NO_KSWAPD.

Async compaction only considers a subset of pages so it is possible for
compaction to be deferred prematurely and not enter direct reclaim even in
cases where it should.  To compensate for this, this patch also defers
compaction only if sync compaction failed.

mm: compaction: allow compaction to isolate dirty pages

commit a77ebd333cd810d7b680d544be88c875131c2bd3 upstream.

Stable note: Not tracked in Bugzilla. A fix aimed at preserving page aging

reducing THP allocation success rates. This was part of a series
to restore the success rates while preserving the reclaim fix.

Short summary: There are severe stalls when a USB stick using VFAT is
used with THP enabled that are reduced by this series.  If you are
experiencing this problem, please test and report back and considering I
have seen complaints from openSUSE and Fedora users on this as well as a
few private mails, I'm guessing it's a widespread issue.  This is a new
type of USB-related stall because it is due to synchronous compaction
writing where as in the past the big problem was dirty pages reaching
the end of the LRU and being written by reclaim.

Am cc'ing Andrew this time and this series would replace
mm-do-not-stall-in-synchronous-compaction-for-thp-allocations.patch.
I'm also cc'ing Dave Jones as he might have merged that patch to Fedora
for wider testing and ideally it would be reverted and replaced by this
series.

That said, the later patches could really do with some review.  If this
series is not the answer then a new direction needs to be discussed
because as it is, the stalls are unacceptable as the results in this
leader show.

For testers that try backporting this to 3.1, it won't work because
there is a non-obvious dependency on not writing back pages in direct
reclaim so you need those patches too.

Changelog since V5
o Rebase to 3.2-rc5
o Tidy up the changelogs a bit

Changelog since V4
o Added reviewed-bys, credited Andrea properly for sync-light
o Allow dirty pages without mappings to be considered for migration
o Bound the number of pages freed for compaction
o Isolate PageReclaim pages on their own LRU list

This is against 3.2-rc5 and follows on from discussions on "mm: Do
not stall in synchronous compaction for THP allocations" and "[RFC
PATCH 0/5] Reduce compaction-related stalls". Initially, the proposed
patch eliminated stalls due to compaction which sometimes resulted in
user-visible interactivity problems on browsers by simply never using
sync compaction. The downside was that THP success allocation rates
were lower because dirty pages were not being migrated as reported by
Andrea. His approach at fixing this was nacked on the grounds that
it reverted fixes from Rik merged that reduced the amount of pages
reclaimed as it severely impacted his workloads performance.

This series attempts to reconcile the requirements of maximising THP
usage, without stalling in a user-visible fashion due to compaction
or cheating by reclaiming an excessive number of pages.

Patch 1 partially reverts commit 39deaf85 to allow migration to isolate
dirty pages. This is because migration can move some dirty
pages without blocking.

Patch 2 notes that the /proc/sys/vm/compact_memory handler is not using
synchronous compaction when it should be. This is unrelated
to the reported stalls but is worth fixing.

Patch 3 checks if we isolated a compound page during lumpy scan and
account for it properly. For the most part, this affects
tracing so it's unrelated to the stalls but worth fixing.

Patch 4 notes that it is possible to abort reclaim early for compaction
and return 0 to the page allocator potentially entering the
"may oom" path. This has not been observed in practice but
the rest of the series potentially makes it easier to happen.

Patch 5 adds a sync parameter to the migratepage callback and gives
the callback responsibility for migrating the page without
blocking if sync==false. For example, fallback_migrate_page
will not call writepage if sync==false. This increases the
number of pages that can be handled by asynchronous compaction
thereby reducing stalls.

Patch 6 restores filter-awareness to isolate_lru_page for migration.
In practice, it means that pages under writeback and pages
without a ->migratepage callback will not be isolated
for migration.

Patch 7 avoids calling direct reclaim if compaction is deferred but
makes sure that compaction is only deferred if sync
compaction was used.

Patch 8 introduces a sync-light migration mechanism that sync compaction
uses. The objective is to allow some stalls but to not call
->writepage which can lead to significant user-visible stalls.

Patch 9 notes that while we want to abort reclaim ASAP to allow
compation to go ahead that we leave a very small window of
opportunity for compaction to run. This patch allows more pages
to be freed by reclaim but bounds the number to a reasonable
level based on the high watermark on each zone.

Patch 10 allows slabs to be shrunk even after compaction_ready() is
true for one zone. This is to avoid a problem whereby a single
small zone can abort reclaim even though no pages have been
reclaimed and no suitably large zone is in a usable state.

Patch 11 fixes a problem with the rate of page scanning. As reclaim is
rarely stalling on pages under writeback it means that scan
rates are very high. This is particularly true for direct
reclaim which is not calling writepage. The vmstat figures
implied that much of this was busy work with PageReclaim pages
marked for immediate reclaim. This patch is a prototype that
moves these pages to their own LRU list.

This has been tested and other than 2 USB keys getting trashed,
nothing horrible fell out. That said, I am a bit unhappy with the
rescue logic in patch 11 but did not find a better way around it. It
does significantly reduce scan rates and System CPU time indicating
it is the right direction to take.

What is of critical importance is that stalls due to compaction
are massively reduced even though sync compaction was still
allowed. Testing from people complaining about stalls copying to USBs
with THP enabled are particularly welcome.

The following tests all involve THP usage and USB keys in some
way. Each test follows this type of pattern

1. Read from some fast fast storage, be it raw device or file. Each time
   the copy finishes, start again until the test ends
2. Write a large file to a filesystem on a USB stick. Each time the copy
   finishes, start again until the test ends
3. When memory is low, start an alloc process that creates a mapping
   the size of physical memory to stress THP allocation. This is the
   "real" part of the test and the part that is meant to trigger
   stalls when THP is enabled. Copying continues in the background.
4. Record the CPU usage and time to execute of the alloc process
5. Record the number of THP allocs and fallbacks as well as the number of THP
   pages in use a the end of the test just before alloc exited
6. Run the test 5 times to get an idea of variability
7. Between each run, sync is run and caches dropped and the test
   waits until nr_dirty is a small number to avoid interference
   or caching between iterations that would skew the figures.

The THP figures are obviously all 0 because THP was enabled. The
main thing to watch is the elapsed times and how they compare to
times when THP is enabled later. It's also important to note that
elapsed time is improved by this series as System CPu time is much
reduced.

The first thing to note is the "Elapsed Time" for the vanilla kernels
of 2249 seconds versus 56 with THP disabled which might explain the
reports of USB stalls with THP enabled. Applying the patches brings
performance in line with THP-disabled performance while isolating
pages for immediate reclaim from the LRU cuts down System CPU time.

The "Fault Alloc" success rate figures are also improved. The vanilla
kernel only managed to allocate 76.6 pages on average over the course
of 5 iterations where as applying the series allocated 181.20 on
average albeit it is well within variance. It's worth noting that
applies the series at least descreases the amount of variance which
implies an improvement.

Andrea's series had a higher success rate for THP allocations but
at a severe cost to elapsed time which is still better than vanilla
but still much worse than disabling THP altogether. One can bring my
series close to Andrea's by removing this check

        /*
         * If compaction is deferred for high-order allocations, it is because
         * sync compaction recently failed. In this is the case and the caller
         * has requested the system not be heavily disrupted, fail the
         * allocation now instead of entering direct reclaim
         */
        if (deferred_compaction && (gfp_mask & __GFP_NO_KSWAPD))
                goto nopage;

I didn't include a patch that removed the above check because hurting
overall performance to improve the THP figure is not what the average
user wants. It's something to consider though if someone really wants
to maximise THP usage no matter what it does to the workload initially.

This is summary of vmstat figures from the same test.

The main things to look at are

1. Page In/out figures are much reduced by the series.

2. Direct page scanning is incredibly high (264745.137 pages scanned
   per second on the vanilla kernel) but isolating PageReclaim pages
   on their own list reduces the number of pages scanned significantly.

3. The fact that "Page rescued immediate" is a positive number implies
   that we sometimes race removing pages from the LRU_IMMEDIATE list
   that need to be put back on a normal LRU but it happens only for
   0.07% of the pages marked for immediate reclaim.

Similar test but the USB stick is using ext4 instead of vfat. As
ext4 does not use writepage for migration, the large stalls due to
compaction when THP is enabled are not observed. Still, isolating
PageReclaim pages on their own list helped completion time largely
by reducing the number of pages scanned by direct reclaim although
time spend in congestion_wait could also be a factor.

Again, Andrea's series had far higher success rates for THP allocation
at the cost of elapsed time. I didn't look too closely but a quick
look at the vmstat figures tells me kswapd reclaimed 8 times more pages
than the patch series and direct reclaim reclaimed roughly three times
as many pages. It follows that if memory is aggressively reclaimed,
there will be more available for THP.

In this case, the test is reading/writing only from filesystems but as
it's vfat, it's slow due to calling writepage during compaction. Little
to observe really - the time to complete the test goes way down
with the series applied and THP allocation success rates go up in
comparison to 3.2-rc5.  The success rates are lower than 3.1.0 but
the elapsed time for that kernel is abysmal so it is not really a
sensible comparison.

As before, Andrea's series allocates more THPs at the cost of overall

Same type of story - elapsed times go down. In this case, allocation
success rates are roughtly the same. As before, Andrea's has higher
success rates but takes a lot longer.

Overall the series does reduce latencies and while the tests are
inherency racy as alloc competes with the cp processes, the variability
was included. The THP allocation rates are not as high as they could
be but that is because we would have to be more aggressive about
reclaim and compaction impacting overall performance.

This patch:

Commit 39deaf85 ("mm: compaction: make isolate_lru_page() filter-aware")
noted that compaction does not migrate dirty or writeback pages and that
is was meaningless to pick the page and re-add it to the LRU list.

What was missed during review is that asynchronous migration moves dirty
pages if their ->migratepage callback is migrate_page() because these can
be moved without blocking.  This potentially impacted hugepage allocation
success rates by a factor depending on how many dirty pages are in the
system.

This patch partially reverts 39deaf85 to allow migration to isolate dirty
pages again.  This increases how much compaction disrupts the LRU but that
is addressed later in the series.

Stable note: Fixes https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=726210 .
        Large machines with 1TB or more of RAM take a long time to boot
        without this patch and may spew out soft lockup warnings.

When min_free_kbytes is updated, some pageblocks are marked
MIGRATE_RESERVE.  Ordinarily, this work is unnoticable as it happens early
in boot but on large machines with 1TB of memory, this has been reported
to delay boot times, probably due to the NUMA distances involved.

The bulk of the work is due to calling calling pageblock_is_reserved() an
unnecessary amount of times and accessing far more struct page metadata
than is necessary.  This patch significantly reduces the amount of work

The comparison between the system sleep state being entered
and the lowest system sleep state the given device may wake up
from in acpi_pm_device_sleep_state() is reversed, because the
specification (ACPI 5.0) says that for wakeup to work:

"The sleeping state being entered must be less than or equal to the
 power state declared in element 1 of the _PRW object."

In other words, the state returned by _PRW is the deepest
(lowest-power) system sleep state the device is capable of waking up
the system from.

Moreover, acpi_pm_device_sleep_state() also should check if the
wakeup capability is supported through ACPI, because in principle it
may be done via native PCIe PME, for example, in which case _SxW
should not be evaluated.

commit 9fe79d7600497ed8a95c3981cbe5b73ab98222f0 upstream.

If the first attempt at opening the lower file read/write fails,
eCryptfs will retry using a privileged kthread. However, the privileged
retry should not happen if the lower file's inode is read-only because a
read/write open will still be unsuccessful.

The check for determining if the open should be retried was intended to
be based on the access mode of the lower file's open flags being
O_RDONLY, but the check was incorrectly performed. This would cause the
open to be retried by the privileged kthread, resulting in a second
failed open of the lower file. This patch corrects the check to
determine if the open request should be handled by the privileged
kthread.

commit 8dc6780587c99286c0d3de747a2946a76989414a upstream.

File operations on /dev/ecryptfs would BUG() when the operations were
performed by processes other than the process that originally opened the
file. This could happen with open files inherited after fork() or file
descriptors passed through IPC mechanisms. Rather than calling BUG(), an
error code can be safely returned in most situations.

In ecryptfs_miscdev_release(), eCryptfs still needs to handle the
release even if the last file reference is being held by a process that
didn't originally open the file. ecryptfs_find_daemon_by_euid() will not
be successful, so a pointer to the daemon is stored in the file's
private_data. The private_data pointer is initialized when the miscdev
file is opened and only used when the file is released.

Currently when acpi_skip_timer_override is set, it only cover the

net: remove skb_orphan_try()

commit 62b1a8ab9b3660bb820d8dfe23148ed6cda38574 upstream.

Orphaning skb in dev_hard_start_xmit() makes bonding behavior
unfriendly for applications sending big UDP bursts : Once packets
pass the bonding device and come to real device, they might hit a full
qdisc and be dropped. Without orphaning, the sender is automatically
throttled because sk->sk_wmemalloc reaches sk->sk_sndbuf (assuming
sk_sndbuf is not too big)

We could try to defer the orphaning adding another test in
dev_hard_start_xmit(), but all this seems of little gain,
now that BQL tends to make packets more likely to be parked
in Qdisc queues instead of NIC TX ring, in cases where performance
matters.

There is a off by one error in the minimal number of BD in
bnx2x_start_xmit() and bnx2x_tx_int() before stopping/resuming tx queue.

A full size GSO packet, with data included in skb->head really needs
(MAX_SKB_FRAGS + 4) BDs, because of bnx2x_tx_split()

This error triggers if BQL is disabled and heavy TCP transmit traffic
occurs.

bnx2x_tx_split() definitely can be called, remove a wrong comment.

bnx2x: fix checksum validation

commit d6cb3e41386f20fb0777d0b59a2def82c65d37f7 upstream.

bnx2x driver incorrectly sets ip_summed to CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY on
encapsulated segments. TCP stack happily accepts frames with bad
checksums, if they are inside a GRE or IPIP encapsulation.

Our understanding is that if no IP or L4 csum validation was done by the
hardware, we should leave ip_summed as is (CHECKSUM_NONE), since
hardware doesn't provide CHECKSUM_COMPLETE support in its cqe.

Then, if IP/L4 checksumming was done by the hardware, set
CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY if no error was flagged.

11 years agovhost: don't forget to schedule()

vhost: don't forget to schedule()

commit d550dda192c1bd039afb774b99485e88b70d7cb8 upstream.

This is a tiny, but important, patch to vhost.

Vhost's worker thread only called schedule() when it had no work to do, and
it wanted to go to sleep. But if there's always work to do, e.g., the guest
is running a network-intensive program like netperf with small message sizes,
schedule() was *never* called. This had several negative implications (on
non-preemptive kernels):

 1. Passing time was not properly accounted to the "vhost" process (ps and
    top would wrongly show it using zero CPU time).

 2. Sometimes error messages about RCU timeouts would be printed, if the
    core running the vhost thread didn't schedule() for a very long time.

 3. Worst of all, a vhost thread would "hog" the core. If several vhost
    threads need to share the same core, typically one would get most of the
    CPU time (and its associated guest most of the performance), while the
    others hardly get any work done.

The trivial solution is to add

if (need_resched())
schedule();

After doing every piece of work. This will not do the heavy schedule() all
the time, just when the timer interrupt decided a reschedule is warranted
(so need_resched returns true).

Thanks to Abel Gordon for this patch.

powerpc: Fix wrong divisor in usecs_to_cputime

Commit d57af9b (taskstats: use real microsecond granularity for CPU times)
renamed msecs_to_cputime to usecs_to_cputime, but failed to update all
numbers on the way.  This causes nonsensical cpu idle/iowait values to be
displayed in /proc/stat (the only user of usecs_to_cputime so far).

This also renames __cputime_msec_factor to __cputime_usec_factor, adapting
its value and using it directly in cputime_to_usecs instead of doing two
multiplications.
