2008-07-03[MIPS] IP22: Fix crashes due to wrong L1_CACHE_BYTESThomas Bogendoerfer1-1/+1
The introduction of a real dma cache invalidate makes it important to have a correct cache line size, otherwise the kernel will gives out two memory segment, which might share one cache line. The R4400 Indy/Indigo2 CPU modules are using a second level cache line size of 128 bytes, so MIPS_L1_CACHE_SHIFT needs to be bumped up to 7 for IP22.

2008-07-03[MIPS] IP32: Fix unexpected irq 71Thomas Bogendoerfer1-0/+5
It's possible that the crime interrupt handler is called without pending interrupts (probably a hardware issue). To avoid irritating "unexpected irq 71" messages, we now just ignore the spurious crime interrupts.

2008-07-02PCI: acpiphp: cleanup notify handler on all root bridgesAlex Chiang1-3/+14
During the development of the physical PCI slot patch series, Gary Hade kept on reporting strange oopses due to interactions between pci_slot and acpiphp. http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/11/28/319 find_root_bridges() unconditionally installs handle_hotplug_event_bridge() as an ACPI_SYSTEM_NOTIFY handler for all root bridges. However, during module cleanup, remove_bridge() will only remove the notify handler iff the root bridge had a hot-pluggable slot directly underneath. That is: root bridge -> hotplug slot But, if the topology looks like either of the following: root bridge -> non-hotplug slot root bridge -> p2p bridge -> hotplug slot Then we currently do not remove the notify handler from that root bridge. This can cause a kernel oops if we modprobe acpiphp later and it gets loaded somewhere else in memory. If the root bridge then receives a hotplug event, it will then attempt to call a stale, non-existent notify handler and we blow up. Much thanks goes to Gary Hade for his persistent debugging efforts.

2008-07-02PCI: Limit VPD read/write lengths for Broadcom 5706, 5708, 5709 rev.Benjamin Li4-12/+48
For Broadcom 5706, 5708, 5709 rev. A nics, any read beyond the VPD end tag will hang the device. This problem was initially observed when a vpd entry was created in sysfs ('/sys/bus/pci/devices/<id>/vpd'). A read to this sysfs entry will dump 32k of data. Reading a full 32k will cause an access beyond the VPD end tag causing the device to hang. Once the device is hung, the bnx2 driver will not be able to reset the device. We believe that it is legal to read beyond the end tag and therefore the solution is to limit the read/write length. A majority of this patch is from Matthew Wilcox who gave code for reworking the PCI vpd size information. A PCI quirk added for the Broadcom NIC's to limit the read/write's.

Since force_quiescent_state is invoked from irqs disabled section, stop_machine_run() won't be executing while a cpu is executing force_quiescent_state(). Hence the cpu_online_map is stable while we're in the irq disabled section. However, a cpu might have been offlined _just_ before we disabled irqs while entering force_quiescent_state(). And rcu subsystem might not yet have handled the CPU_DEAD notification, leading to the offlined cpu's bit being set in the rcp->cpumask. Hence cpumask = (rcp->cpumask & cpu_online_map) to prevent sending smp_reschedule() to an offlined CPU. Here's the timeline: CPU_A CPU_B -------------------------------------------------------------- cpu_down(): . . . . . stop_machine(): /* disables preemption, . * and irqs */ . . . . . take_cpu_down(); . . . . . . . cpu_disable(); /*this removes cpu . *from cpu_online_map . */ . . . . . restart_machine(); /* enables irqs */ . ------WINDOW DURING WHICH rcp->cpumask is stale --------------- . call_rcu(); . /* disables irqs here */ . .force_quiescent_state(); .CPU_DEAD: .for_each_cpu(rcp->cpumask) . . smp_send_reschedule(); . . . . WARN_ON() for offlined CPU! . . . rcu_cpu_notify: . -------- WINDOW ENDS ------------------------------------------ rcu_offline_cpu() /* Which calls cpu_quiet() * which removes * cpu from rcp->cpumask. */ If a new batch was started just before calling stop_machine_run(), the "tobe-offlined" cpu is still present in rcp-cpumask. During a cpu-offline, from take_cpu_down(), we queue an rt-prio idle task as the next task to be picked by the scheduler. We also call cpu_disable() which will disable any further interrupts and remove the cpu's bit from the cpu_online_map. Once the stop_machine_run() successfully calls take_cpu_down(), it calls schedule(). That's the last time a schedule is called on the offlined cpu, and hence the last time when rdp->passed_quiesc will be set to 1 through rcu_qsctr_inc(). But the cpu_quiet() will be on this cpu will be called only when the next RCU_SOFTIRQ occurs on this CPU. So at this time, the offlined CPU is still set in rcp->cpumask. Now coming back to the idle_task which truely offlines the CPU, it does check for a pending RCU and raises the softirq, since it will find rdp->passed_quiesc to be 0 in this case. However, since the cpu is offline I am not sure if the softirq will trigger on the CPU. Even if it doesn't the rcu_offline_cpu() will find that rcp->completed is not the same as rcp->cur, which means that our cpu could be holding up the grace period progression. Hence we call cpu_quiet() and move ahead. But because of the window explained in the timeline, we could still have a call_rcu() before the RCU subsystem executes it's CPU_DEAD notification, and we send smp_send_reschedule() to offlined cpu while trying to force the quiescent states. The appended patch adds comments and prevents checking for offlined cpu everytime. cpu_online_map is updated by the _cpu_down() using stop_machine_run(). Since force_quiescent_state is invoked from irqs disabled section, stop_machine_run() won't be executing while a cpu is executing force_quiescent_state(). Hence the cpu_online_map is stable while we're in the irq disabled section.

2008-07-01block: Fix the starving writes bug in the anticipatory IO schedulerDivyesh Shah1-0/+2
AS scheduler alternates between issuing read and write batches. It does the batch switch only after all requests from the previous batch are completed. When switching to a write batch, if there is an on-going read request, it waits for its completion and indicates its intention of switching by setting ad->changed_batch and the new direction but does not update the batch_expire_time for the new write batch which it does in the case of no previous pending requests. On completion of the read request, it sees that we were waiting for the switch and schedules work for kblockd right away and resets the ad->changed_data flag. Now when kblockd enters dispatch_request where it is expected to pick up a write request, it in turn ends the write batch because the batch_expire_timer was not updated and shows the expire timestamp for the previous batch. This results in the write starvation for all the cases where there is the intention for switching to a write batch, but there is a previous in-flight read request and the batch gets reverted to a read_batch right away. This also holds true in the reverse case (switching from a write batch to a read batch with an in-flight write request). I've checked that this bug exists on 2.6.11, 2.6.18, 2.6.24 and linux-2.6-block git HEAD. I've tested the fix on x86 platforms with SCSI drives where the driver asks for the next request while a current request is in-flight. This patch is based off linux-2.6-block git HEAD. Bug reproduction: A simple scenario which reproduces this bug is: - dd if=/dev/hda3 of=/dev/null & - lilo The lilo takes forever to complete. This can also be reproduced fairly easily with the earlier dd and another test program doing msync(). The example test program below should print out a message after every iteration but it simply hangs forever. With this bugfix it makes forward progress. ==== Example test program using msync() (thanks to suleiman AT google DOT com) inline uint64_t rdtsc(void) { int64_t tsc; __asm __volatile("rdtsc" : "=A" (tsc)); return (tsc); } int main(int argc, char **argv) { struct stat st; uint64_t e, s, t; char *p, q; long i; int fd; if (argc < 2) { printf("Usage: %s <file>\n", argv[0]); return (1); } if ((fd = open(argv[1], O_RDWR | O_NOATIME)) < 0) err(1, "open"); if (fstat(fd, &st) < 0) err(1, "fstat"); p = mmap(NULL, st.st_size, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0); t = 0; for (i = 0; i < 1000; i++) { *p = 0; msync(p, 4096, MS_SYNC); s = rdtsc(); *p = 0; __asm __volatile(""::: "memory"); e = rdtsc(); if (argc > 2) printf("%d: %lld cycles %jd %jd\n", i, e - s, (intmax_t)s, (intmax_t)e); t += e - s; } printf("average time: %lld cycles\n", t / 1000); return (0); } Cc: <stable@kernel.org> Acked-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

2008-06-30[IA64] Bugfix for system with 32 cpusTony Luck1-1/+2
On a system where there are no hot pluggable cpus "additional_cpus" is still set to -1 at the point where we call per_cpu_scan_finalize(). If we didn't find an SRAT table and so pick the default "32" for the number of cpus, when we get to: high_cpu = min(high_cpu + reserve_cpus, NR_CPUS); we will end up initializing for just 31 cpus ... and so we will die horribly when bringing up cpu#32.
