Since 2.6.25-rc7, I've been seeing an occasional livelock on one x86_64
machine, copying kernel trees to tmpfs, paging out to swap.
Signature: 6000 pages under writeback but never getting written; most
tasks of interest trying to reclaim, but each get_swap_bio waiting for a
bio in mempool_alloc's io_schedule_timeout(5*HZ); every five seconds an
atomic page allocation failure report from kblockd failing to allocate a
sense_buffer in __scsi_get_command.
__scsi_get_command has a (one item) free_list to protect against this,
but rc1's [SCSI] use dynamically allocated sense buffer de25deb18016f66dcdede165d07654559bb332bc upset that slightly. When it
fails to allocate from the separate sense_slab, instead of giving up, it
must fall back to the command free_list, which is sure to have a
sense_buffer attached.
Either my earlier -rc testing missed this, or there's some recent
contributory factor. One very significant factor is SLUB, which merges
slab caches when it can, and on 64-bit happens to merge both bio cache
and sense_slab cache into kmalloc's 128-byte cache: so that under this
swapping load, bios above are liable to gobble up all the slots needed
for scsi_cmnd sense_buffers below.
That's disturbing behaviour, and I tried a few things to fix it. Adding
a no-op constructor to the sense_slab inhibits SLUB from merging it, and
stops all the allocation failures I was seeing; but it's rather a hack,
and perhaps in different configurations we have other caches on the
swapout path which are ill-merged.
Another alternative is to revert the separate sense_slab, using
cache-line-aligned sense_buffer allocated beyond scsi_cmnd from the one
kmem_cache; but that might waste more memory, and is only a way of
diverting around the known problem.
While I don't like seeing the allocation failures, and hate the idea of
all those bios piled up above a scsi host working one by one, it does
seem to emerge fairly soon with the livelock fix. So lacking better
ideas, stick with that one clear fix for now.

ipmi: change device node ordering to reflect probe order
In 2.6.14 a patch was merged which switching the order of the ipmi device
naming from in-order-of-discovery over to reverse-order-of-discovery.
So on systems with multiple BMC interfaces, the ipmi device names are being
created in reverse order relative to how they are discovered on the system
(e.g. on an IBM x3950 multinode server with N nodes, the device name for the
BMC in the first node is /dev/ipmiN-1 and the device name for the BMC in the
last node is /dev/ipmi0, etc.).
The problem is caused by the list handling routines chosen in dmi_scan.c.
Using list_add() causes the multiple ipmi devices to be added to the device
list using a stack-paradigm and so the ipmi driver subsequently pulls them off
during initialization in LIFO order. This patch changes the
dmi_save_ipmi_device() list handling paradigm to a queue, thereby allowing the
ipmi driver to build the ipmi device names in the order in which they are
found on the system.

memory controller: make memory resource control aware of boot options
A boot option for the memory controller was discussed on lkml. It is a good
idea to add it, since it saves memory for people who want to turn off the
memory controller.
By default the option is on for the following two reasons:
1. It provides compatibility with the current scheme where the memory
controller turns on if the config option is enabled
2. It allows for wider testing of the memory controller, once the config
option is enabled
We still allow the create, destroy callbacks to succeed, since they are not
aware of boot options. We do not populate the directory will memory resource
controller specific files.

cgroups: add cgroup support for enabling controllers at boot time
The effects of cgroup_disable=foo are:
- foo isn't auto-mounted if you mount all cgroups in a single hierarchy
- foo isn't visible as an individually mountable subsystem
As a result there will only ever be one call to foo->create(), at init time;
all processes will stay in this group, and the group will never be mounted on
a visible hierarchy. Any additional effects (e.g. not allocating metadata)
are up to the foo subsystem.
This doesn't handle early_init subsystems (their "disabled" bit isn't set be,
but it could easily be extended to do so if any of the early_init systems
wanted it - I think it would just involve some nastier parameter processing
since it would occur before the command-line argument parser had been run.
Hugh said:
Ballpark figures, I'm trying to get this question out rather than
processing the exact numbers: CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR adds 15% overhead
to the affected paths, booting with cgroup_disable=memory cuts that back to
1% overhead (due to slightly bigger struct page).
I'm no expert on distros, they may have no interest whatever in
CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR=y; and the rest of us can easily build with or
without it, or apply the cgroup_disable=memory patches.

Mikulas Patocka noted that the optimization where we check if a buffer
was already dirty (and we avoid re-dirtying it) was not really SMP-safe.
Since the read of the old status was not synchronized with anything, an
aggressive CPU re-ordering of memory accesses might have moved that read
up to before the data was even written to the buffer, and another CPU
that cleaned it again, causing the newly dirty state to never actually
hit the disk.
Admittedly this would probably never trigger in practice, but it's still
wrong.
Mikulas sent a patch that fixed the problem, but I dislike the subtlety
of the whole optimization, so this is an alternate fix that is more
explicit about the particular SMP ordering for the optimization, and
separates out the speculative reads of the buffer state into its own
conditional (and makes the memory barrier only happen if we are likely
to actually hit the optimized case in the first place).
I considered removing the optimization entirely, but Andrew argued for
it's continued existence. I'm a push-over.

x86: tsc prevent time going backwards
We already catch most of the TSC problems by sanity checks, but there
is a subtle bug which has been in the code for ever. This can cause
time jumps in the range of hours.
This was reported in:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/8/23/96
and
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/3/31/23
I was able to reproduce the problem with a gettimeofday loop test on a
dual core and a quad core machine which both have sychronized
TSCs. The TSCs seems not to be perfectly in sync though, but the
kernel is not able to detect the slight delta in the sync check. Still
there exists an extremly small window where this delta can be observed
with a real big time jump. So far I was only able to reproduce this
with the vsyscall gettimeofday implementation, but in theory this
might be observable with the syscall based version as well.
CPU 0 updates the clock source variables under xtime/vyscall lock and
CPU1, where the TSC is slighty behind CPU0, is reading the time right
after the seqlock was unlocked.
The clocksource reference data was updated with the TSC from CPU0 and
the value which is read from TSC on CPU1 is less than the reference
data. This results in a huge delta value due to the unsigned
subtraction of the TSC value and the reference value. This algorithm
can not be changed due to the support of wrapping clock sources like
pm timer.
The huge delta is converted to nanoseconds and added to xtime, which
is then observable by the caller. The next gettimeofday call on CPU1
will show the correct time again as now the TSC has advanced above the
reference value.
To prevent this TSC specific wreckage we need to compare the TSC value
against the reference value and return the latter when it is larger
than the actual TSC value.
I pondered to mark the TSC unstable when the readout is smaller than
the reference value, but this would render an otherwise good and fast
clocksource unusable without a real good reason.

fix memory corruption and crash due to mis-sized grant table.
A PV OS has two grant table data structures: the grant table itself
and a free list. The free list is composed of an array of pages,
which grow dynamically as the guest OS requires more grants. While
the grant table contains 8-byte entries, the free list contains 4-byte
entries. So we have half as many pages in the free list than in the
grant table.
There was a bug in the free list allocation code. The free list was
indexed as if it was the same size as the grant table. But it's only
half as large. So memory got corrupted, and I was seeing crashes in
the slab allocator later on.

[POWERPC] Fix iSeries hard irq enabling regression
A subtle bug sneaked into iSeries recently. On this platform, we must
not normally clear MSR:EE (the hardware external interrupt enable)
except for short periods of time. Taking an interrupt while
soft-disabled doesn't cause us to clear it for example.
The iSeries kernel expects to mostly run with MSR:EE enabled at all
times except in a few exception entry/exit code paths. Thus
local_irq_enable() doesn't check if it needs to hard-enable as it
expects this to be unnecessary on iSeries.
However, hard_irq_disable() _does_ cause MSR:EE to be cleared,
including on iSeries. A call to it was recently added to the
context switch code, thus causing interrupts to become disabled
for a long periods of time, causing the iSeries watchdog to kick
in under some circumstances and other nasty things.
This patch fixes it by making local_irq_enable() properly re-enable
MSR:EE on iSeries. It basically removes a return statement here
to make iSeries use the same code path as everybody else. That does
mean that we might occasionally get spurious decrementer interrupts
but I don't think that matters.
Another option would have been to make hard_irq_disable() a nop
on iSeries but I didn't like it much, in case we have good reasons
to hard-disable.
Part of the patch is fixes to make sure the hard_enabled PACA field
is properly set on iSeries as it used not to be before, since it
was mostly unused.

Markers do not mix well with CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU because it uses
preempt_disable/enable() and not rcu_read_lock/unlock for minimal
intrusiveness. We would need call_sched and sched_barrier primitives.
Currently, the modification (connection and disconnection) of probes
from markers requires changes to the data structure done in RCU-style :
a new data structure is created, the pointer is changed atomically, a
quiescent state is reached and then the old data structure is freed.
The quiescent state is reached once all the currently running
preempt_disable regions are done running. We use the call_rcu mechanism
to execute kfree() after such quiescent state has been reached.
However, the new CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU version of call_rcu and rcu_barrier
does not guarantee that all preempt_disable code regions have finished,
hence the race.
The "proper" way to do this is to use rcu_read_lock/unlock, but we don't
want to use it to minimize intrusiveness on the traced system. (we do
not want the marker code to call into much of the OS code, because it
would quickly restrict what can and cannot be instrumented, such as the
scheduler).
The temporary fix, until we get call_rcu_sched and rcu_barrier_sched in
mainline, is to use synchronize_sched before each call_rcu calls, so we
wait for the quiescent state in the system call code path. It will slow
down batch marker enable/disable, but will make sure the race is gone.

This patch adds the symbol "phys_base" to a vmcoreinfo data. The
vmcoreinfo data has the minimum debugging information only for dump
filtering. makedumpfile (dump filtering command) gets it to distinguish
unnecessary pages, and makedumpfile creates a small dumpfile.
On x86_64 kernel which compiled with CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START=0x0 and

# makedumpfile -d31 /proc/vmcore dumpfile
The kernel version is not supported.
The created dumpfile may be incomplete.
_exclude_free_page: Can't get next online node.
makedumpfile Failed.
#
The cause is the lack of the symbol "phys_base" in a vmcoreinfo data.
If the symbol "phys_base" does not exist, makedumpfile considers an
x86_64 kernel as non relocatable. As the result, makedumpfile
misunderstands the physical address where the kernel is loaded, and it
cannot translate a kernel virtual address to physical address correctly.

kvm: provide kvm.h for all architecture: fixes headers_install
Currently include/linux/kvm.h is not considered by make headers_install,
because Kbuild cannot handle " unifdef-$(CONFIG_FOO) += foo.h. This problem
was introduced by
KVM: Export include/linux/kvm.h only if $ARCH actually supports KVM
Currently, make headers_check barfs due to <asm/kvm.h>, which <linux/kvm.h>
includes, not existing. Rather than add a zillion <asm/kvm.h>s, export kvm.

which makes this an 2.6.25 regression.
One way of solving the issue is to enhance Kbuild, but Avi and David conviced
me, that changing headers_install is not the way to go. This patch changes
the definition for linux/kvm.h to unifdef-y.
If unifdef-y is used for linux/kvm.h "make headers_check" will fail on all
architectures without asm/kvm.h. Therefore, this patch also provides
asm/kvm.h on all architectures.

USB: Allow initialization of broken keyspan serial adapters.
Fixes the keyspan driver after the addition of additional
checking of driver requirements introduced in usb-serial.c
commit 063a2da8f01806906f7d7b1a1424b9afddebc443. The initialization
of the keyspan usb_serial_driver structs were not initializing the
num_interrupt_out field and the additional checking was rejecting
the end point so the driver wouldn't finish initializing.
This commit initializes the fields to NUM_DONT_CARE.
It works for the keyspan USA-49WG and doesn't break the USA-19HS
which are the two keyspan devices I have to test with.

USB: serial: fix regression in Visor/Palm OS module for kernels >= 2.6.24
Fixes a bug/inconsistency revealed by the additional sanity checking in
commit 063a2da8f01806906f7d7b1a1424b9afddebc443
introduced in the original 2.6.24 branch.
The Handspring Visor / PalmOS 4 device structure defines .num_bulk_out=2
but the usb-serial probe returns num_bulk_out=3, triggering the check in
the above commit and forcing a bail out when the device (a Garmin iQue in
my case) attempts to connect. The patch bumps the expected number of
endpoints to 3.
FWIW, this patch will probably solve the following kernel bug report for
Treo users (identical symptoms, different model PalmOS units):
<http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10118>
The changes introduced in commit 063a2da8f01806906f7d7b1a1424b9afddebc443 changed the semantics of the
num_interrupt_in, num_interrupt_out, num_bulk_in and num_bulk_out
entries of the usb_serial_driver struct to be the number of endpoints
the device has when probed.
This patch changes the ti_1port_device usb_serial_driver struct to
reflect this change. The single port devices only have 1
bulk_out endpoint in their initial configuration, and so this patch
changes the number of other types to NUM_DONT_CARE.
The same change probably needs doing to the ti_2port_device struct,
but I don't have a two port device at hand.

Looking a bit closer into this regression the reason this can't be
right is that dma_addr common default is BLK_BOUNCE_HIGH and most
machines have less than 4G. So if you do:
So for 99% of hardware this will trigger unnecessary GFP_DMA
allocations and isa pooling operations.
Also note how the 32bit code still does b_pfn < blk_max_low_pfn.
I guess this is what you were looking after. I didn't verify but as
far as I can tell, this will stop the regression with isa dma
operations at boot for 99% of blkdev/memory combinations out there and
I guess this fixes the setups with >4G of ram and 32bit pci cards as
well (this also retains symmetry with the 32bit code).

[CRYPTO] xcbc: Fix crash when ipsec uses xcbc-mac with big data chunk
The kernel crashes when ipsec passes a udp packet of about 14XX bytes
of data to aes-xcbc-mac.
It seems the first xxxx bytes of the data are in first sg entry,
and remaining xx bytes are in next sg entry. But we don't
check next sg entry to see if we need to go look the page up.
I noticed in hmac.c, we do a scatterwalk_sg_next(), to do this check
and possible lookup, thus xcbc.c needs to use this routine too.
A 15-hour run of an ipsec stress test sending streams of tcp and
udp packets of various sizes, using this patch and
aes-xcbc-mac completed successfully, so hopefully this fixes the
problem.
