[x86] Fix TSC calibration issues

Larry Finger reported at http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/9/1/90:
An ancient laptop of mine started throwing errors from b43legacy when
I started using 2.6.27 on it. This has been bisected to commit bfc0f59
"x86: merge tsc calibration".

The unification of the TSC code adopted mostly the 64bit code, which
prefers PMTIMER/HPET over the PIT calibration.

Larrys system has an AMD K6 CPU. Such systems are known to have
PMTIMER incarnations which run at double speed. This results in a
miscalibration of the TSC by factor 0.5. So the resulting calibrated
CPU/TSC speed is half of the real CPU speed, which means that the TSC
based delay loop will run half the time it should run. That might
explain why the b43legacy driver went berserk.

On the other hand we know about systems, where the PIT based
calibration results in random crap due to heavy SMI/SMM
disturbance. On those systems the PMTIMER/HPET based calibration logic
with SMI detection shows better results.

According to Alok also virtualized systems suffer from the PIT
calibration method.

The solution is to use a more wreckage aware aproach than the current
either/or decision.

1) reimplement the retry loop which was dropped from the 32bit code
during the merge. It repeats the calibration and selects the lowest
frequency value as this is probably the closest estimate to the real
frequency

2) Monitor the delta of the TSC values in the delay loop which waits
for the PIT counter to reach zero. If the maximum value is
significantly different from the minimum, then we have a pretty safe
indicator that the loop was disturbed by an SMI.

3) keep the pmtimer/hpet reference as a backup solution for systems
where the SMI disturbance is a permanent point of failure for PIT
based calibration

4) do the loop iteration for both methods, record the lowest value and
decide after all iterations finished.

5) Set a clear preference to PIT based calibration when the result
makes sense.

The implementation does the reference calibration based on
HPET/PMTIMER around the delay, which is necessary for the PIT anyway,
but keeps separate TSC values to ensure the "independency" of the
resulting calibration values.

Tested on various 32bit/64bit machines including Geode 266Mhz, AMD K6
(affected machine with a double speed pmtimer which I grabbed out of
the dump), Pentium class machines and AMD/Intel 64 bit boxen.

if (r->entropy_count > r->poolinfo->POOLBITS)

We could fix this by moving the assertion inside the lock, but it seems
safer and saner to revert to the old behaviour wherein

pm_qos_requirement might sleep

The purpose of the patch is to remove the spin_lock around the read in the
function pm_qos_requirement - since spinlocks can sleep in -rt and this
function is called from idle.

CPU_IDLE polls the target_value's of some of the pm_qos parameters from
the idle loop causing sleeping locking warnings.  Changing the
target_value to an atomic avoids this issue.

ibft: fix target info parsing in ibft module

I got this patch through Red Hat's bugzilla from the bug submitter and
patch creator.  I have just fixed it up so it applies without fuzz to
upstream kernels.

Original patch and description from Shyam kumar Iyer:

The issue [ibft module not displaying targets with short names] is because
of an offset calculatation error in the iscsi_ibft.c code.  Due to this
error directory structure for the target in /sys/firmware/ibft does not
get created and so the initiator is unable to connect to the target.

Note that this bug surfaced only with an name that had a short section at
the end.  eg: "iqn.1984-05.com.dell:dell".  It did not surface when the
iqn's had a longer section at the end.  eg:
"iqn.2001-04.com.example:storage.disk2.sys1.xyz"

So, the eot_offset was calculated such that an extra 48 bytes i.e.  the
size of the ibft_header which has already been accounted was subtracted
twice.

This was not evident with longer iqn names because they would overshoot
the total ibft length more than 48 bytes and thus would escape the bug.

16 years agomm: size of quicklists shouldn't be proportional to the number of CPUs
KOSAKI Motohiro [Tue, 2 Sep 2008 21:35:58 +0000 (14:35 -0700)]
mm: size of quicklists shouldn't be proportional to the number of CPUs

Quicklists store pages for each CPU as caches.  (Each CPU can cache
node_free_pages/16 pages)

It is used for page table cache.  exit() will increase the cache size,
while fork() consumes it.

So for example if an apache-style application runs (one parent and many
child model), one CPU process will fork() while another CPU will process
the middleware work and exit().

At that time, the CPU on which the parent runs doesn't have page table
cache at all.  Others (on which children runs) have maximum caches.

QList_max = (#ofCPUs - 1) x Free / 16
=> QList_max / (Free + QList_max) = (#ofCPUs - 1) / (16 + #ofCPUs - 1)

So, How much quicklist memory is used in the maximum case?

This is proposional to # of CPUs because the limit of per cpu quicklist
cache doesn't see the number of cpus.

Above calculation mean

 Number of CPUs per node            2    4    8   16

- My machine spec is

number of cpus:      8 (4CPU x2 node)
        total mem:           8GB (4GB x2 node)
        free mem:            about 5GB

- Then, 4.7GB x 16% ~= 880MB.
  So, Quicklist can use 800MB.

So, if following spec machine run that program

   CPUs: 64 (8cpu x 8node)
   Mem:  1TB (128GB x8node)

Then, quicklist can waste 300GB (= 1TB x 30%).  It is too large.

So, I don't like cache policies which is proportional to # of cpus.

My patch changes the number of caches
from:
   per-cpu-cache-amount = memory_on_node / 16
to
   per-cpu-cache-amount = memory_on_node / 16 / number_of_cpus_on_node.

pid_ns: (BUG 11391) change ->child_reaper when init->group_leader exits

We don't change pid_ns->child_reaper when the main thread of the
subnamespace init exits.  As Robert Rex <robert.rex@exasol.com> pointed
out this is wrong.

Yes, the re-parenting itself works correctly, but if the reparented task
exits it needs ->parent->nsproxy->pid_ns in do_notify_parent(), and if the
main thread is zombie its ->nsproxy was already cleared by
exit_task_namespaces().

Introduce the new function, find_new_reaper(), which finds the new
->parent for the re-parenting and changes ->child_reaper if needed.  Kill
the now unneeded exit_child_reaper().

Also move the changing of ->child_reaper from zap_pid_ns_processes() to
find_new_reaper(), this consolidates the games with ->child_reaper and
makes it stable under tasklist_lock.

pid_ns: zap_pid_ns_processes: fix the ->child_reaper changing

zap_pid_ns_processes() sets pid_ns->child_reaper = NULL, this is wrong.

Yes, we have already killed all tasks in this namespace, and sys_wait4()
doesn't see any child.  But this doesn't mean ->children list is empty, we
may have EXIT_DEAD tasks which are not visible to do_wait().  In that case
the subsequent forget_original_parent() will crash the kernel because it
will try to re-parent these tasks to the NULL reaper.

Even if there are no childs, it is not good that forget_original_parent()
uses reaper == NULL.

Change the code to set ->child_reaper = init_pid_ns.child_reaper instead.
We could use pid_ns->parent->child_reaper as well, I think this does not
really matter.  These EXIT_DEAD tasks are not visible to the new ->parent
after re-parenting, they will silently do release_task() eventually.

Note that we must change ->child_reaper, otherwise
forget_original_parent() will use reaper == father, and in that case we
will hit the (correct) BUG_ON(!list_empty(&father->children)).

noticed this before now.

The fix involves noting that this buffer shouldn't be DMA-coherent; it's
just used for normal DMA writes.  So replace it with standard kmalloc()
buffering and DMA mapping calls.

This is the quickie fix.  A better one would not rely on allocating large
bounce buffers.  (Note that dma_alloc_coherent could have failed too, but
that case was ignored...  kmalloc is a bit more likely to fail though.)

8250: improve workaround for UARTs that don't re-assert THRE correctly

Recent changes to tighten the check for UARTs that don't correctly
re-assert THRE (01c194d9278efc15d4785ff205643e9c0bdcef53: "serial 8250:
tighten test for using backup timer") caused problems when such a UART was
opened for the second time - the bug could only successfully be detected
at first initialization.  For users of this version of this particular
UART IP it is fatal.

This patch stores the information about the bug in the bugs field of the
port structure when the port is first started up so subsequent opens can
check this bit even if the test for the bug fails.

David Brownell: "My own exposure to this is that the UART on DaVinci
hardware, which TI allegedly derived from its original 16550 logic, has
periodically gone from working to unusable with the mainline 8250.c ...
and back and forth a bunch.  Currently it's "unusable", a regression from
some previous versions.  With this patch from Will, it's usable."

        jbd: fix race between free buffer and commit transaction

was merged into 2.6.27-rc1, but I noticed that this patch is not enough
to fix the race.

I did fsstress test heavily to 2.6.27-rc1, and found that dio write still
sometimes got EIO through this test.

The patch above fixed race between freeing buffer(dio) and committing
transaction(jbd) but I discovered that there is another race, freeing
buffer(dio) and ext3/4_ordered_writepage.

: background_writeout()
     ->write_cache_pages()
       ->ext3_ordered_writepage()
         walk_page_buffers() -> take a bh ref
     block_write_full_page() -> unlock_page
: <- end_page_writeback
                : <- race! (dio write->try_to_release_page fails)
          walk_page_buffers() ->release a bh ref

ext3_ordered_writepage holds bh ref and does unlock_page remaining
taking a bh ref, so this causes the race and failure of
try_to_release_page.

To fix this race, I used the approach of falling back to buffered
writes if try_to_release_page() fails on a page.

David Wagner added (among other things) that copy_to_user could be

Fix problem with waiting while holding rcu read lock in md/bitmap.c

A recent patch to protect the rdev list with rcu locking leaves us
with a problem because we can sleep on memalloc while holding the
rcu lock.

The rcu lock is only needed while walking the linked list as
uninteresting devices (failed or spares) can be removed at any time.

So only take the rcu lock while actually walking the linked list.
Take a refcount on the rdev during the time when we drop the lock
and do the memalloc to start IO.
When we return to the locked code, all the interesting devices
on the list will not have moved, so we can simply use
list_for_each_continue_rcu to pick up where we left off.

16 years agoRemove invalidate_partition call from do_md_stop.
NeilBrown [Mon, 1 Sep 2008 02:32:52 +0000 (12:32 +1000)]
Remove invalidate_partition call from do_md_stop.

When stopping an md array, or just switching to read-only, we
currently call invalidate_partition while holding the mddev lock.
The main reason for this is probably to ensure all dirty buffers
are flushed (invalidate_partition calls fsync_bdev).

However if any dirty buffers are found, it will almost certainly cause
a deadlock as starting writeout will require an update to the
superblock, and performing that updates requires taking the mddev
lock - which is already held.

This deadlock can be demonstrated by running "reboot -f -n" with
a root filesystem on md/raid, and some dirty buffers in memory.

All other calls to stop an array should already happen after a flush.
The normal sequence is to stop using the array (e.g. umount) which
will cause __blkdev_put to call sync_blockdev.  Then open the
array and issue the STOP_ARRAY ioctl while the buffers are all still
clean.

So this invalidate_partition is normally a no-op, except for one case
where it will cause a deadlock.

So remove it.

This patch possibly addresses the regression recored in
   http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11460
and
   http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11452

ALSA: oxygen: fix distorted output on AK4396-based cards

When changing the sample rate, the CMI8788's master clock output becomes
unstable for a short time.  The AK4396 needs the master clock to do SPI
writes, so writing to an AK4396 control register directly after a sample
rate change will garble the value.  In our case, this leads to the DACs
being misconfigured to I2S sample format, which results in a wrong
output level and horrible distortions on samples louder than -6 dB.

To fix this, we need to wait until the new master clock signal has
become stable before doing SPI writes.

Jeff Layton [Thu, 28 Aug 2008 11:54:59 +0000 (07:54 -0400)]
cifs: fix O_APPEND on directio mounts

The direct I/O write codepath for CIFS is done through
cifs_user_write(). That function does not currently call
generic_write_checks() so the file position isn't being properly set
when the file is opened with O_APPEND.  It's also not doing the other
"normal" checks that should be done for a write call.

The problem is currently that when you open a file with O_APPEND on a
mount with the directio mount option, the file position is set to the
beginning of the file. This makes any subsequent writes clobber the data
in the file starting at the beginning.

This seems to fix the problem in cursory testing. It is, however
important to note that NFS disallows the combination of
(O_DIRECT|O_APPEND). If my understanding is correct, the concern is
races with multiple clients appending to a file clobbering each others'
data. Since the write model for CIFS and NFS is pretty similar in this
regard, CIFS is probably subject to the same sort of races. What's
unclear to me is why this is a particular problem with O_DIRECT and not
with buffered writes...

Regardless, disallowing O_APPEND on an entire mount is probably not
reasonable, so we'll probably just have to deal with it and reevaluate
this flag combination when we get proper support for O_DIRECT. In the
meantime this patch at least fixes the existing problem.

real-time
tasks in their rt runqueue that are able to run (no longer throttled).

The sequence is:

- A real-time task is running when the timer sets the rt runqueue
    to throttled, and the rt task is resched_task()ed and switched

    run on that cpu.

- Eventually the do_sched_rt_period_timer() runs and un-throttles
    the rt runqueue, but we just exit the timer interrupt and go back
    to executing the idle task in the idle loop forever.

If we change the sched_rt_rq_enqueue() routine to use some of the code

we are guaranteed not to cause interger overflow either.

IB/mlx4: Actually return L_Key and R_Key for fast register MRs

Initialize the L_Key and R_Key for memory regions returned from
mlx4_ib_alloc_fast_reg_mr().  Otherwise callers just get garbage for
the memory keys and can't do anything useful with these MRs.
