[PATCH] md: assorted md and raid1 one-liners

Fix few bugs that meant that:
  - superblocks weren't alway written at exactly the right time (this
    could show up if the array was not written to - writting to the array
    causes lots of superblock updates and so hides these errors).

  - restarting device recovery after a clean shutdown (version-1 metadata
    only) didn't work as intended (or at all).

1/ Ensure superblock is updated when a new device is added.
2/ Remove an inappropriate test on MD_RECOVERY_SYNC in md_do_sync.
   The body of this if takes one of two branches depending on whether
   MD_RECOVERY_SYNC is set, so testing it in the clause of the if
   is wrong.
3/ Flag superblock for updating after a resync/recovery finishes.
4/ If we find the neeed to restart a recovery in the middle (version-1
   metadata only) make sure a full recovery (not just as guided by
   bitmaps) does get done.

[PATCH] md: fix innocuous bug in raid6 stripe_to_pdidx

stripe_to_pdidx finds the index of the parity disk for a given stripe.  It
assumes raid5 in that it uses "disks-1" to determine the number of data disks.

This is incorrect for raid6 but fortunately the two usages cancel each other
out.  The only way that 'data_disks' affects the calculation of pd_idx in
raid5_compute_sector is when it is divided into the sector number.  But as
that sector number is calculated by multiplying in the wrong value of
'data_disks' the division produces the right value.

So it is innocuous but needs to be fixed.

Also change the calculation of raid_disks in compute_blocknr to make it
more obviously correct (it seems at first to always use disks-1 too).

[PATCH] md: allow reads that have bypassed the cache to be retried on failure

If a bypass-the-cache read fails, we simply try again through the cache.  If
it fails again it will trigger normal recovery precedures.

update 1:

From: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

1/
  chunk_aligned_read and retry_aligned_read assume that
      data_disks == raid_disks - 1
  which is not true for raid6.
  So when an aligned read request bypasses the cache, we can get the wrong data.

2/ The cloned bio is being used-after-free in raid5_align_endio
   (to test BIO_UPTODATE).

3/ We forgot to add rdev->data_offset when submitting
   a bio for aligned-read

4/ clone_bio calls blk_recount_segments and then we change bi_bdev,
   so we need to invalidate the segment counts.

5/ We don't de-reference the rdev when the read completes.
   This means we need to record the rdev to so it is still
   available in the end_io routine.  Fortunately
   bi_next in the original bio is unused at this point so
   we can stuff it in there.

6/ We leak a cloned bio if the target rdev is not usable.

From: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

update 2:

1/ When aligned requests fail (read error) they need to be retried
   via the normal method (stripe cache).  As we cannot be sure that
   we can process a single read in one go (we may not be able to
   allocate all the stripes needed) we store a bio-being-retried
   and a list of bioes-that-still-need-to-be-retried.
   When find a bio that needs to be retried, we should add it to
   the list, not to single-bio...

2/ We were never incrementing 'scnt' when resubmitting failed
   aligned requests.

[PATCH] sched: call tasklet less frequently

Trigger softirq less frequently

We trigger the softirq before this patch using offset of sd->interval.
However, if the queue is busy then it is sufficient to schedule the softirq
with sd->interval * busy_factor.

So we modify the calculation of the next time to balance by taking
the interval added to last_balance again. This is only the
right value if the idle/busy situation continues as is.

There are two potential trouble spots:
- If the queue was idle and now gets busy then we call rebalance
  early. However, that is not a problem because we will then use
  the longer interval for the next period.

- If the queue was busy and becomes idle then we potentially
  wait too long before rebalancing. However, when the task
  goes idle then idle_balance is called. We add another calculation
  of the next balance time based on sd->interval in idle_balance
  so that we will rebalance soon.

V2->V3:
- Calculate rebalance time based on current jiffies and not
  based on the jiffies at the last time we load balanced.
  We no longer rely on staggering and therefore we can
  affort to do this now.

V3->V4:
- Use functions to do jiffy comparisons.

[PATCH] sched: remove staggering of load balancing

Timer interrupts already are staggered.  We do not need an additional layer of
time staggering for short load balancing actions that take a reasonably small
portion of the time slice.

For load balancing on large sched_domains we will add a serialization later
that avoids concurrent load balance operations and thus has the same effect as
load staggering.

[PATCH] io-accounting: core statistics

The present per-task IO accounting isn't very useful.  It simply counts the
number of bytes passed into read() and write().  So if a process reads 1MB
from an already-cached file, it is accused of having performed 1MB of I/O,
which is wrong.

(David Wright had some comments on the applicability of the present logical IO accounting:

  For billing purposes it is useless but for workload analysis it is very
  useful

  read_bytes/read_calls  average read request size
  write_bytes/write_calls average write request size

  read_bytes/read_blocks ie logical/physical can indicate hit rate or thrashing
  write_bytes/write_blocks  ie logical/physical  guess since pdflush writes can
                                                be missed

  I often look for logical larger than physical to see filesystem cache
  problems.  And the bytes/cpusec can help find applications that are
  dominating the cache and causing slow interactive response from page cache
  contention.

  I want to find the IO intensive applications and make sure they are doing
  efficient IO.  Thus the acctcms(sysV) or csacms command would give the high
  IO commands).

This patchset adds new accounting which tries to be more accurate.  We account
for three things:

reads:

  attempt to count the number of bytes which this process really did cause
  to be fetched from the storage layer.  Done at the submit_bio() level, so it
  is accurate for block-backed filesystems.  I also attempt to wire up NFS and
  CIFS.

writes:

  attempt to count the number of bytes which this process caused to be sent
  to the storage layer.  This is done at page-dirtying time.

  The big inaccuracy here is truncate.  If a process writes 1MB to a file
  and then deletes the file, it will in fact perform no writeout.  But it will
  have been accounted as having caused 1MB of write.

  So...

cancelled_writes:

  account the number of bytes which this process caused to not happen, by
  truncating pagecache.

  We _could_ just subtract this from the process's `write' accounting.  But
  that means that some processes would be reported to have done negative
  amounts of write IO, which is silly.

  So we just report the raw number and punt this decision up to userspace.

Now, we _could_ account for writes at the physical I/O level.  But

- This would require that we track memory-dirtying tasks at the per-page
  level (would require a new pointer in struct page).

- It would mean that IO statistics for a process are usually only available
  long after that process has exitted.  Which means that we probably cannot
  communicate this info via taskstats.

This patch:

Wire up the kernel-private data structures and the accessor functions to
manipulate them.

PDC20269 and newer chips that occurs when an UltraDMA/133 capable drive is
connected.  Here's the summary of changes:

- add code to detect the PLL input clock detection and setup it output clock,
  remove the PowerMac hacks;

- replace the macros accessing the indexed regiters with functions, switch to
  using them where appropriate, gather the PIO/MWDMA/UDMA timings into tables;

- rewrite the speedproc() handler to set the drive's transfer mode first, and
  then override the timing registers set by hardware on UltraDMA/133 chips;

- use better criterion for determining higher UltraDMA modes, and add comment
  concerning the doubtful value of the code enabling IORDY/prefetch;

- replace the stupid 'pdcnew_new_' prefixes with mere 'pdcnew_';

- get rid of unneded spaces, parens and type casts, clean up some printk's,
  add some new lines here and there...

This work is loosely based on these former patches by Albert Lee:

[1] http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-ide&m=110992442032300

[4] http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-ide&m=111019224802939

Some PLL clock detection code was backported from his pata_pdc2027x driver...

This code has been successfully tested by me on PDC2026[89] chips.

I tried to keep this rework as several patches but it made no sense: [2] was
largely a modification of the non-working timing override code, [3] by itself
extended the overclocking issue to the case of non-UltraDMA/133 drives, and
finally, the cleanup patch based on [1] ended up rejected...

1) 16 and 32 bit DMA/PIO transfers broken due to timing differences.
2) Potential for bad transfer counts due to transfer size assumptions.
3) Setup function broken is multiple ways.

5) False positive timeout are not errors.
6) Changes in pxa2xx_spi_chip not effective in calls to setup.
7) Timeout scaling wrong for PXA255 NSSP.
8) Driver leaks memory while busy during unloading.

Known issues:

SPI_CS_HIGH and SPI_LSB_FIRST settings in struct spi_device are not handled.

Testing:

This patch has been test against the "random length, random bits/word,
random data (verified on loopback) and stepped baud rate by octaves
(3.6MHz to 115kHz)" test.  It is robust in PIO mode, using any
combination of tx and rx thresholds, and also in DMA mode (which
internally computes the thresholds).

[PATCH] read_zero_pagealigned() locking fix

Ramiro Voicu hits the BUG_ON(!pte_none(*pte)) in zeromap_pte_range: kernel
bugzilla 7645.  Right: read_zero_pagealigned uses down_read of mmap_sem,
but another thread's racing read of /dev/zero, or a normal fault, can
easily set that pte again, in between zap_page_range and zeromap_page_range
getting there.  It's been wrong ever since 2.4.3.

The simple fix is to use down_write instead, but that would serialize reads
of /dev/zero more than at present: perhaps some app would be badly
affected.  So instead let zeromap_page_range return the error instead of
BUG_ON, and read_zero_pagealigned break to the slower clear_user loop in
that case - there's no need to optimize for it.

Use -EEXIST for when a pte is found: BUG_ON in mmap_zero (the other user of
zeromap_page_range), though it really isn't interesting there.  And since
mmap_zero wants -EAGAIN for out-of-memory, the zeromaps better return that
than -ENOMEM.

[PATCH] x86: Fix boot hang due to nmi watchdog init code

2.6.19  stopped booting (or booted based on build/config) on our x86_64
systems due to a bug introduced in 2.6.19.  check_nmi_watchdog schedules an
IPI on all cpus to  busy wait on a flag, but fails to set the busywait
flag if NMI functionality is disabled.  This causes the secondary cpus
to spin in an endless loop, causing the kernel bootup to hang.
Depending upon the build, the  busywait flag got overwritten (stack variable)
and caused  the kernel to bootup on certain builds.  Following patch fixes
the bug by setting the busywait flag before returning from check_nmi_watchdog.
I guess using a stack variable is not good here as the calling function could
potentially return while the busy wait loop is still spinning on the flag.

AK: I redid the patch significantly to be cleaner

18 years ago[PATCH] WorkStruct: Use direct assignment rather than cmpxchg()
David Howells [Thu, 7 Dec 2006 11:33:26 +0000 (11:33 +0000)]
[PATCH] WorkStruct: Use direct assignment rather than cmpxchg()

Use direct assignment rather than cmpxchg() as the latter is unavailable
and unimplementable on some platforms and is actually unnecessary.

The use of cmpxchg() was to guard against two possibilities, neither of
which can actually occur:

 (1) The pending flag may have been unset or may be cleared.  However, given
     where it's called, the pending flag is _always_ set.  I don't think it
     can be unset whilst we're in set_wq_data().

     Once the work is enqueued to be actually run, the only way off the queue
     is for it to be actually run.

     If it's a delayed work item, then the bit can't be cleared by the timer
     because we haven't started the timer yet.  Also, the pending bit can't be
     cleared by cancelling the delayed work _until_ the work item has had its
     timer started.

 (2) The workqueue pointer might change.  This can only happen in two cases:

     (a) The work item has just been queued to actually run, and so we're
         protected by the appropriate workqueue spinlock.

     (b) A delayed work item is being queued, and so the timer hasn't been
       started yet, and so no one else knows about the work item or can
       access it (the pending bit protects us).

     Besides, set_wq_data() _sets_ the workqueue pointer unconditionally, so
     it can be assigned instead.

So, replacing the set_wq_data() with a straight assignment would be okay
in most cases.

The problem is where we end up tangling with test_and_set_bit() emulated
using spinlocks, and even then it's not a problem _provided_
test_and_set_bit() doesn't attempt to modify the word if the bit was
set.

If that's a problem, then a bitops-proofed assignment will be required -
equivalent to atomic_set() vs other atomic_xxx() ops.

[NET]: Force a cache line split in hh_cache in SMP.

hh_lock was converted from rwlock to seqlock by Stephen.

To have a 100% benefit of this change, I suggest to place read mostly fields
of hh_cache in a separate cache line, because hh_refcnt may be changed quite
frequently on some busy machines.

18 years ago[NETPOLL]: make arp replies through netpoll use mac address of sender
Neil Horman [Fri, 8 Dec 2006 08:05:55 +0000 (00:05 -0800)]
[NETPOLL]: make arp replies through netpoll use mac address of sender

Back in 2.4 arp requests that were recevied by netpoll were processed
in netconsole_receive_skb, where they were responded to using the src
mac of the request sender.  In the 2.6 kernel arp_reply is responsible
for this function, but instead of using the src mac address of the
incomming request, the stored mac address that was registered for the
netconsole application is used.  While this is usually ok, it can lead
to failures in netpoll in some situations (specifically situations
where a network may have two gateways, as arp requests from one may be
responded to using the mac address of the other).  This patch reverts
the behavior to what we had in 2.4, in which all arp requests are sent
back using the src address of the request sender.

[AX.25]: Fix default address and broadcast address initialization.

Only the callsign but not the SSID part of an AX.25 address is ASCII
based but Linux by initializes the SSID which should be just a 4-bit
number from ASCII anyway.

Fix that and convert the code to use a shared constant for both default
