[PATCH] rivafb/nvidiafb: race between register_framebuffer and *_bl_init

Since we now use the generic backlight infrastructure, I think we need to
call rivafb_bl_init before calling register_framebuffer since otherwise
rivafb_bl_init might race with the framebuffer layer already opening the
device and setting up the video mode.  In this case we might end up with a
not yet fully intialized backlight (info->bl_dev still NULL) when calling
riva_bl_set_power via rivafb_set_par/rivafb_load_video_mode and the kernel
dies without any further notice during boot.

This fixes booting current git on a PB 6,1.  In this case radeonfb/atyfb
would be affected too - I can fix that too but don't have any hardware to

Many IBM Thinkpad T4* models and some R* and X* with radeon video cards draw
too much power when suspended to RAM, reducing drastically the battery

that is already in the radeonfb code has been rewritten using this framework.

The behavior can be overridden with module options:

i)  video=radeonfb:force_sleep=1
    enable suspend-to-D2 also on non-whitelisted machines (useful for
    testing new notebook models),

Roland McGrath [Sun, 30 Jul 2006 10:04:06 +0000 (03:04 -0700)]
[PATCH] vDSO hash-style fix

The latest toolchains can produce a new ELF section in DSOs and
dynamically-linked executables.  The new section ".gnu.hash" replaces
".hash", and allows for more efficient runtime symbol lookups by the
dynamic linker.  The new ld option --hash-style={sysv|gnu|both} controls
whether to produce the old ".hash", the new ".gnu.hash", or both.  In some
new systems such as Fedora Core 6, gcc by default passes --hash-style=gnu
to the linker, so that a standard invocation of "gcc -shared" results in
producing a DSO with only ".gnu.hash".  The new ".gnu.hash" sections need
to be dealt with the same way as ".hash" sections in all respects; only the
dynamic linker cares about their contents.  To work with older dynamic
linkers (i.e.  preexisting releases of glibc), a binary must have the old
".hash" section.  The --hash-style=both option produces binaries that a new
dynamic linker can use more efficiently, but an old dynamic linker can
still handle.

The new section runs afoul of the custom linker scripts used to build vDSO
images for the kernel.  On ia64, the failure mode for this is a boot-time
panic because the vDSO's PT_IA_64_UNWIND segment winds up ill-formed.

This patch addresses the problem in two ways.

First, it mentions ".gnu.hash" in all the linker scripts alongside ".hash".
 This produces correct vDSO images with --hash-style=sysv (or old tools),
with --hash-style=gnu, or with --hash-style=both.

Second, it passes the --hash-style=sysv option when building the vDSO
images, so that ".gnu.hash" is not actually produced.  This is the most
conservative choice for compatibility with any old userland.  There is some
concern that some ancient glibc builds (though not any known old production
system) might choke on --hash-style=both binaries.  The optimizations
provided by the new style of hash section do not really matter for a DSO
with a tiny number of symbols, as the vDSO has.  If someone wants to use
=gnu or =both for their vDSO builds and worry less about that
compatibility, just change the option and the linker script changes will
make any choice work fine.

Tim Chen [Sun, 30 Jul 2006 10:04:02 +0000 (03:04 -0700)]
[PATCH] Reducing local_bh_enable/disable overhead in irqtrace

The recent changes from irqtrace feature has added overheads to
local_bh_disable and local_bh_enable that reduces UDP performance across
x86_64 and IA64, even though IA64 does not support the irqtrace feature.
Patch in question is

[PATCH]lockdep: irqtrace subsystem, core
http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=c
ommit;h=de30a2b355ea85350ca2f58f3b9bf4e5bc007986

Prior to this patch, local_bh_disable was a short macro.  Now it is a
function which calls __local_bh_disable with added irq flags save and
restore.  The irq flags save and restore were also added to
local_bh_enable, probably for injecting the trace irqs code.

This overhead is on the generic code path across all architectures.  On a
IA_64 test machine (Itanium-2 1.6 GHz) running a benchmark like netperf's
UDP streaming test, the added overhead results in a drop of 3% in
throughput, as udp_sendmsg calls the local_bh_enable/disable several times.

Other workloads that have heavy usages of local_bh_enable/disable could
also be affected.  The patch ideally should not have affected IA-64
performance as it does not have IRQ tracing support.  A significant portion
of the overhead is in the added irq flags save and restore, which I think
is not needed if IRQ tracing is unused.  A suggested patch is attached
below that recovers the lost performance.  However, the "ifdef"s in the
patch are a bit ugly.

[PATCH] Fix swsusp with PNP BIOS

swsusp is unable to suspend my machine (DTK FortisPro TOP-5A notebook) with
kernel 2.6.17.5 because it's unable to suspend PNP device 00:16 (mouse).

The problem is in PNP BIOS.  pnp_bus_suspend() calls pnp_stop_dev() for the
device if the device can be disabled according to pnp_can_disable().  The
problem is that pnpbios_disable_resources() returns -EPERM if the device is
not dynamic (!pnpbios_is_dynamic()) but insert_device() happily sets
PNP_DISABLE capability/flag even if the device is not dynamic.  So we try
to disable non-dynamic devices which will fail.  This patch prevents

fixes suspend on my system.

[PATCH] inotify: fix deadlock found by lockdep

This is a real deadlock, a nice complex one:
(warning: long explanation follows so that Andrew can have a complete
patch description)

it's an ABCDA deadlock:

A iprune_mutex
B inode->inotify_mutex
C ih->mutex
D dev->ev_mutex

The AB relationship comes straight from invalidate_inodes()

int invalidate_inodes(struct super_block * sb)
{
        int busy;
        LIST_HEAD(throw_away);

        mutex_lock(&iprune_mutex);
        spin_lock(&inode_lock);
        inotify_unmount_inodes(&sb->s_inodes);

where inotify_umount_inodes() takes the
                mutex_lock(&inode->inotify_mutex);

The BC relationship comes directly from inotify_find_update_watch():
s32 inotify_find_update_watch(struct inotify_handle *ih, struct inode *inode,
                              u32 mask)
{
   ...
        mutex_lock(&inode->inotify_mutex);
        mutex_lock(&ih->mutex);

The CD relationship comes from inotify_rm_wd:
inotify_rm_wd does
        mutex_lock(&inode->inotify_mutex);
        mutex_lock(&ih->mutex)
and then calls inotify_remove_watch_locked() which calls
notify_dev_queue_event() which does
        mutex_lock(&dev->ev_mutex);

(this strictly is a BCD relationship)

The DA relationship comes from the most interesting part:

  [<ffffffff8022d9f2>] shrink_icache_memory+0x42/0x270
  [<ffffffff80240dc4>] shrink_slab+0x11d/0x1c9
  [<ffffffff802b5104>] try_to_free_pages+0x187/0x244
  [<ffffffff8020efed>] __alloc_pages+0x1cd/0x2e0
  [<ffffffff8025e1f8>] cache_alloc_refill+0x3f8/0x821
  [<ffffffff8020a5e5>] kmem_cache_alloc+0x85/0xcb
  [<ffffffff802db027>] kernel_event+0x2e/0x122
  [<ffffffff8021d61c>] inotify_dev_queue_event+0xcc/0x140

inotify_dev_queue_event schedules a kernel_event which does a
kmem_cache_alloc( , GFP_KERNEL) which may try to shrink slabs, including
the inode cache .. which then takes iprune_mutex.

And voila, there is an AB, a BC, a CD relationship (even a direct BCD),
and also now a DA relationship -> a circular type AB-BA deadlock but
involving 4 locks.

The solution is simple: kernel_event() is NOT allowed to use GFP_KERNEL,
but must use GFP_NOFS to not cause recursion into the VFS.

least one driver needs it active.

Likewise, IRQs need the same support to track whether the IRQ should be
enabled or disabled as a "wakeup event" source after a series of calls to
{en,dis}able_irq_wake().  For shared IRQs, the IRQ must be enabled as a
wakeup source during sleep so long as at least one driver needs it.  But
right now they _don't have_ that refcounting ...  which means sharing a
wakeup-capable IRQ can't work correctly in some configurations.

This patch adds the refcount and flag mechanisms to set_irq_wake() -- which
is what {en,dis}able_irq_wake() call -- and minimal documentation of what
the irq wake mechanism does.

Drivers relying on the older (broken) "toggle" semantics will trigger a
warning; that'll be a handful of drivers on ARM systems.

[PATCH] Process Events: Fix biarch compatibility issue. use __u64 timestamp

Events sent by Process Events Connector from a 64-bit kernel are not binary
compatible with a 32-bit userspace program because the "timestamp" field
(struct timespec) is not arch independent.  This affects the fields that
follow "timestamp" as they will be be off by 8 bytes.

This is a problem for 32-bit userspace programs running with 64-bit kernels
on ppc64, s390, x86-64..  any "biarch" system.

Matt had submitted a different solution to lkml as an RFC earlier.  We have
since switched to a solution recommended by Evgeniy Polyakov.

This patch fixes the problem by changing the timestamp to be a __u64, which
stores the number of nanoseconds.

Tested on a x86_64 system with both 32 bit application and 64 bit

[PATCH] ext3: avoid triggering ext3_error on bad NFS file handle

The inode number out of an NFS file handle gets passed eventually to
ext3_get_inode_block() without any checking.  If ext3_get_inode_block()
allows it to trigger an error, then bad filehandles can have unpleasant
effect - ext3_error() will usually cause a forced read-only remount, or a
panic if `errors=panic' was used.

So remove the call to ext3_error there and put a matching check in
ext3/namei.c where inode numbers are read off storage.

Jon Mason [Sat, 29 Jul 2006 19:42:43 +0000 (21:42 +0200)]
[PATCH] x86_64: Calgary IOMMU - Multi-Node NULL pointer dereference fix

Calgary hits a NULL pointer dereference when booting in a multi-chassis
NUMA system.  See Redhat bugzilla number 198498, found by Konrad
Rzeszutek (konradr@redhat.com).

There are many issues that had to be resolved to fix this problem.
Firstly when I originally wrote the code to handle NUMA systems, I
had a large misunderstanding that was not corrected until now.  That was
that I thought the "number of nodes online" referred to number of
physical systems connected.  So that if NUMA was disabled, there
would only be 1 node and it would only show that node's PCI bus.
In reality if NUMA is disabled, the system displays all of the
connected chassis as one node but is only ignorant of the delays
in accessing main memory.  Therefore, references to num_online_nodes()
and MAX_NUMNODES are incorrect and need to be set to the maximum
number of nodes that can be accessed (which are 8).  I created a
variable, MAX_NUM_CHASSIS, and set it to 8 to fix this.

Secondly, when walking the PCI in detect_calgary, the code only
checked the first "slot" when looking to see if a device is present.
This will work for most cases, but unfortunately it isn't always the
case.  In the NUMA MXE drawers, there are USB devices present on the
3rd slot (with slot 1 being empty).  So, to work around this, all
slots (up to 8) are scanned to see if there are any devices present.

Lastly, the bus is being enumerated on large systems in a different
way the we originally thought.  This throws the ugly logic we had
out the window.  To more elegantly handle this, I reorganized the
kva array to be sparse (which removed the need to have any bus number
to kva slot logic in tce.c) and created a secondary space array to
contain the bus number to phb mapping.

With these changes Calgary boots on an x460 with 4 nodes with and
without NUMA enabled.
