2009-03-06percpu, module: implement reserved allocation and use it for module percpu ↵Tejun Heo1-4/+6
variables Impact: add reserved allocation functionality and use it for module percpu variables This patch implements reserved allocation from the first chunk. When setting up the first chunk, arch can ask to set aside certain number of bytes right after the core static area which is available only through a separate reserved allocator. This will be used primarily for module static percpu variables on architectures with limited relocation range to ensure that the module perpcu symbols are inside the relocatable range. If reserved area is requested, the first chunk becomes reserved and isn't available for regular allocation. If the first chunk also includes piggy-back dynamic allocation area, a separate chunk mapping the same region is created to serve dynamic allocation. The first one is called static first chunk and the second dynamic first chunk. Although they share the page map, their different area map initializations guarantee they serve disjoint areas according to their purposes. If arch doesn't setup reserved area, reserved allocation is handled like any other allocation. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
2009-03-06percpu: use negative for auto for pcpu_setup_first_chunk() argumentsTejun Heo1-2/+3
Impact: argument semantic cleanup In pcpu_setup_first_chunk(), zero @unit_size and @dyn_size meant auto-sizing. It's okay for @unit_size as 0 doesn't make sense but 0 dynamic reserve size is valid. Alos, if arch @dyn_size is calculated from other parameters, it might end up passing in 0 @dyn_size and malfunction when the size is automatically adjusted. This patch makes both @unit_size and @dyn_size ssize_t and use -1 for auto sizing. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

Impact: cleaup Make the following cleanups. * There isn't much arch-specific about PERCPU_MODULE_RESERVE. Always define it whether arch overrides PERCPU_ENOUGH_ROOM or not. * blackfin overrides PERCPU_ENOUGH_ROOM to align static area size. Do it by default. * percpu allocation sizes doesn't have much to do with the page size. Don't use PAGE_SHIFT in their definition.

2009-03-05libata: change drive ready wait after hard reset to 5sStuart Hayes1-1/+1
This fixes problems during resume with drives that take longer than 1s to be ready. The ATA-6 spec appears to allow 5 seconds for a drive to be ready. On one affected system, this patch changes "PM: resume devices took..." message from 17 seconds to 4 seconds, and gets rid of a lot of ugly timeout/error messages. Without this patch, the libata code moves on after 1s, tries to send a soft reset (which the drive doesn't see because it isn't ready) which also times out, then an IDENTIFY command is sent to the drive which times out, and finally the error handler will try to send another hard reset which will finally get things working.

2009-03-03netns: Remove net_aliveEric W. Biederman1-10/+17
It turns out that net_alive is unnecessary, and the original problem that led to it being added was simply that the icmp code thought it was a network device and wound up being unable to handle packets while there were still packets in the network namespace. Now that icmp and tcp have been fixed to properly register themselves this problem is no longer present and we have a stronger guarantee that packets will not arrive in a network namespace then that provided by net_alive in netif_receive_skb. So remove net_alive allowing packet reception run a little faster. Additionally document the strong reason why network namespace cleanup is safe so that if something happens again someone else will have a chance of figuring it out. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2009-03-02x86, mm: dont use non-temporal stores in pagecache accessesIngo Molnar1-2/+2
Impact: standardize IO on cached ops On modern CPUs it is almost always a bad idea to use non-temporal stores, as the regression in this commit has shown it: 30d697f: x86: fix performance regression in write() syscall The kernel simply has no good information about whether using non-temporal stores is a good idea or not - and trying to add heuristics only increases complexity and inserts fragility. The regression on cached write()s took very long to be found - over two years. So dont take any chances and let the hardware decide how it makes use of its caches. The only exception is drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gem.c: there were we are absolutely sure that another entity (the GPU) will pick up the dirty data immediately and that the CPU will not touch that data before the GPU will. Also, keep the _nocache() primitives to make it easier for people to experiment with these details. There may be more clear-cut cases where non-cached copies can be used, outside of filemap.c.

2009-02-26rcu: Teach RCU that idle task is not quiscent state at bootPaul E. McKenney4-0/+31
This patch fixes a bug located by Vegard Nossum with the aid of kmemcheck, updated based on review comments from Nick Piggin, Ingo Molnar, and Andrew Morton. And cleans up the variable-name and function-name language. ;-) The boot CPU runs in the context of its idle thread during boot-up. During this time, idle_cpu(0) will always return nonzero, which will fool Classic and Hierarchical RCU into deciding that a large chunk of the boot-up sequence is a big long quiescent state. This in turn causes RCU to prematurely end grace periods during this time. This patch changes the rcutree.c and rcuclassic.c rcu_check_callbacks() function to ignore the idle task as a quiescent state until the system has started up the scheduler in rest_init(), introducing a new non-API function rcu_idle_now_means_idle() to inform RCU of this transition. RCU maintains an internal rcu_idle_cpu_truthful variable to track this state, which is then used by rcu_check_callback() to determine if it should believe idle_cpu(). Because this patch has the effect of disallowing RCU grace periods during long stretches of the boot-up sequence, this patch also introduces Josh Triplett's UP-only optimization that makes synchronize_rcu() be a no-op if num_online_cpus() returns 1. This allows boot-time code that calls synchronize_rcu() to proceed normally. Note, however, that RCU callbacks registered by call_rcu() will likely queue up until later in the boot sequence. Although rcuclassic and rcutree can also use this same optimization after boot completes, rcupreempt must restrict its use of this optimization to the portion of the boot sequence before the scheduler starts up, given that an rcupreempt RCU read-side critical section may be preeempted. In addition, this patch takes Nick Piggin's suggestion to make the system_state global variable be __read_mostly. Changes since v4: o Changes the name of the introduced function and variable to be less emotional. ;-) Changes since v3: o WARN_ON(nr_context_switches() > 0) to verify that RCU switches out of boot-time mode before the first context switch, as suggested by Nick Piggin. Changes since v2: o Created rcu_blocking_is_gp() internal-to-RCU API that determines whether a call to synchronize_rcu() is itself a grace period. o The definition of rcu_blocking_is_gp() for rcuclassic and rcutree checks to see if but a single CPU is online. o The definition of rcu_blocking_is_gp() for rcupreempt checks to see both if but a single CPU is online and if the system is still in early boot. This allows rcupreempt to again work correctly if running on a single CPU after booting is complete. o Added check to rcupreempt's synchronize_sched() for there being but one online CPU. Tested all three variants both SMP and !SMP, booted fine, passed a short rcutorture test on both x86 and Power.

2009-02-24i2c-dev: Clarify the unit of ioctl I2C_TIMEOUTJean Delvare2-2/+2
The unit in which user-space can set the bus timeout value is jiffies for historical reasons (back when HZ was always 100.) This is however not good because user-space doesn't know how long a jiffy lasts. The timeout value should instead be set in a fixed time unit. Given the original value of HZ, this unit should be 10 ms, for compatibility. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> Acked-by: Wolfram Sang <w.sang@pengutronix.de>
2009-02-24percpu: give more latitude to arch specific first chunk initializationTejun Heo1-2/+37
Impact: more latitude for first percpu chunk allocation The first percpu chunk serves the kernel static percpu area and may or may not contain extra room for further dynamic allocation. Initialization of the first chunk needs to be done before normal memory allocation service is up, so it has its own init path - pcpu_setup_static(). It seems archs need more latitude while initializing the first chunk for example to take advantage of large page mapping. This patch makes the following changes to allow this. * Define PERCPU_DYNAMIC_RESERVE to give arch hint about how much space to reserve in the first chunk for further dynamic allocation. * Rename pcpu_setup_static() to pcpu_setup_first_chunk(). * Make pcpu_setup_first_chunk() much more flexible by fetching page pointer by callback and adding optional @unit_size, @free_size and @base_addr arguments which allow archs to selectively part of chunk initialization to their likings.

2009-02-24vmalloc: add @align to vm_area_register_early()Tejun Heo1-1/+1
Impact: allow larger alignment for early vmalloc area allocation Some early vmalloc users might want larger alignment, for example, for custom large page mapping. Add @align to vm_area_register_early(). While at it, drop docbook comment on non-existent @size.
