[PATCH] Directed yield: cpu_relax variants for spinlocks and rw-locks
On systems running with virtual cpus there is optimization potential in
regard to spinlocks and rw-locks. If the virtual cpu that has taken a lock
is known to a cpu that wants to acquire the same lock it is beneficial to
yield the timeslice of the virtual cpu in favour of the cpu that has the
lock (directed yield).
With CONFIG_PREEMPT="n" this can be implemented by the architecture without
common code changes. Powerpc already does this.
With CONFIG_PREEMPT="y" the lock loops are coded with _raw_spin_trylock,
_raw_read_trylock and _raw_write_trylock in kernel/spinlock.c. If the lock
could not be taken cpu_relax is called. A directed yield is not possible
because cpu_relax doesn't know anything about the lock. To be able to
yield the lock in favour of the current lock holder variants of cpu_relax
for spinlocks and rw-locks are needed. The new _raw_spin_relax,
_raw_read_relax and _raw_write_relax primitives differ from cpu_relax
insofar that they have an argument: a pointer to the lock structure.

[PATCH] leds: turn LED off when changing triggers
I was playing with LED triggers when I noticed that changing from heartbeat

This is easy to reproduce by doing "find / >/dev/null" with the ide-disk
trigger enabled and then switching to "none".
Here is a patch that fixes the problem by explicitly turning the LED off

[PATCH] kmemdup: introduce
One of idiomatic ways to duplicate a region of memory is
dst = kmalloc(len, GFP_KERNEL);
if (!dst)
return -ENOMEM;
memcpy(dst, src, len);
which is neat code except a programmer needs to write size twice. Which
sometimes leads to mistakes. If len passed to kmalloc is smaller that len
passed to memcpy, it's straight overwrite-beyond-end. If len passed to
memcpy is smaller than len passed to kmalloc, it's either a) legit
behaviour ;-), or b) cloned buffer will contain garbage in second half.
Slight trolling of commit lists shows several duplications bugs
done exactly because of diverged lenghts:
Linux:
[CRYPTO]: Fix memcpy/memset args.
[PATCH] memcpy/memset fixes
OpenBSD:
kerberosV/src/lib/asn1: der_copy.c:1.4
If programmer is given only one place to play with lengths, I believe, such
mistakes could be avoided.
With kmemdup, the snippet above will be rewritten as:
dst = kmemdup(src, len, GFP_KERNEL);
if (!dst)
return -ENOMEM;
This also leads to smaller code (kzalloc effect). Quick grep shows
200+ places where kmemdup() can be used.

[PATCH] maximum latency tracking: ALSA support
Add maximum latency tracking to the ALSA subsystem for PCM playback. In
ALSA, the playback application controls the buffer size and thus indirectly
the period of latency that it can deal with. This patch uses 75% of the
total available latency as threshold to announce to the latency subsystem;
While 75% is a crude heuristic it's a quite reasonable one; the remaining
25% can be used for all driver processing for the next samples which is
also proportional to the size of the buffer.
With ogg123 a latency setting of about 4msec was seen (at 44Khz), while
with the "play" command a much longer maximum tolerable latency was seen.
Other, more multimedia oriented players as well as games, will have a lot
smaller buffers to allow better synchronization and those will actually get
into the latency domains where there is impact on the power management
rules.

[PATCH] maximum latency tracking infrastructure
Add infrastructure to track "maximum allowable latency" for power saving
policies.
The reason for adding this infrastructure is that power management in the
idle loop needs to make a tradeoff between latency and power savings
(deeper power save modes have a longer latency to running code again). The
code that today makes this tradeoff just does a rather simple algorithm;
however this is not good enough: There are devices and use cases where a
lower latency is required than that the higher power saving states provide.
An example would be audio playback, but another example is the ipw2100
wireless driver that right now has a very direct and ugly acpi hook to
disable some higher power states randomly when it gets certain types of
error.
The proposed solution is to have an interface where drivers can
* announce the maximum latency (in microseconds) that they can deal with
* modify this latency
* give up their constraint
and a function where the code that decides on power saving strategy can
query the current global desired maximum.
This patch has a user of each side: on the consumer side, ACPI is patched
to use this, on the producer side the ipw2100 driver is patched.
A generic maximum latency is also registered of 2 timer ticks (more and you
lose accurate time tracking after all).
While the existing users of the patch are x86 specific, the infrastructure
is not. I'd like to ask the arch maintainers of other architectures if the
infrastructure is generic enough for their use (assuming the architecture
has such a tradeoff as concept at all), and the sound/multimedia driver
owners to look at the driver facing API to see if this is something they
can use.

[PATCH] BLOCK: Make it possible to disable the block layer [try #6]
Make it possible to disable the block layer. Not all embedded devices require
it, some can make do with just JFFS2, NFS, ramfs, etc - none of which require
the block layer to be present.
This patch does the following:
(*) Introduces CONFIG_BLOCK to disable the block layer, buffering and blockdev
support.
(*) Adds dependencies on CONFIG_BLOCK to any configuration item that controls
an item that uses the block layer. This includes:
(*) Block I/O tracing.
(*) Disk partition code.
(*) All filesystems that are block based, eg: Ext3, ReiserFS, ISOFS.
(*) The SCSI layer. As far as I can tell, even SCSI chardevs use the
block layer to do scheduling. Some drivers that use SCSI facilities -
such as USB storage - end up disabled indirectly from this.
(*) Various block-based device drivers, such as IDE and the old CDROM
drivers.
(*) MTD blockdev handling and FTL.
(*) JFFS - which uses set_bdev_super(), something it could avoid doing by
taking a leaf out of JFFS2's book.
(*) Makes most of the contents of linux/blkdev.h, linux/buffer_head.h and
linux/elevator.h contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK being set. sector_div() is,
however, still used in places, and so is still available.
(*) Also made contingent are the contents of linux/mpage.h, linux/genhd.h and
parts of linux/fs.h.
(*) Makes a number of files in fs/ contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.
(*) Makes mm/bounce.c (bounce buffering) contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.
(*) set_page_dirty() doesn't call __set_page_dirty_buffers() if CONFIG_BLOCK
is not enabled.
(*) fs/no-block.c is created to hold out-of-line stubs and things that are
required when CONFIG_BLOCK is not set:
(*) Default blockdev file operations (to give error ENODEV on opening).
(*) Makes some /proc changes:
(*) /proc/devices does not list any blockdevs.
(*) /proc/diskstats and /proc/partitions are contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.
(*) Makes some compat ioctl handling contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.
(*) If CONFIG_BLOCK is not defined, makes sys_quotactl() return -ENODEV if
given command other than Q_SYNC or if a special device is specified.
(*) In init/do_mounts.c, no reference is made to the blockdev routines if
CONFIG_BLOCK is not defined. This does not prohibit NFS roots or JFFS2.
(*) The bdflush, ioprio_set and ioprio_get syscalls can now be absent (return
error ENOSYS by way of cond_syscall if so).
(*) The seclvl_bd_claim() and seclvl_bd_release() security calls do nothing if
CONFIG_BLOCK is not set, since they can't then happen.

[PATCH] cfq-iosched: use new io context counting mechanism
It's ok if the read path is a lot more costly, as long as inc/dec is
really cheap. The inc/dec will happen for each created/freed io context,
while the reading only happens when a disk queue exits.

[PATCH] elevator: define ioc counting mechanism
None of the in-kernel primitives for handling "atomic" counting seem
to be a good fit. We need something that is essentially free for
incrementing/decrementing, while the read side may be more expensive
as we only ever need to do that when a device is removed from the
kernel.
Use a per-cpu variable for maintaining a per-cpu ioc count and define
a reading mechanism that just sums up the values.

[PATCH] cfq-iosched: kill cfq_exit_lock
cfq_exit_lock is protecting two things now:
- The per-ioc rbtree of cfq_io_contexts
- The per-cfqd linked list of cfq_io_contexts
The per-cfqd linked list can be protected by the queue lock, as it is (by
definition) per cfqd as the queue lock is.
The per-ioc rbtree is mainly used and updated by the process itself only.
The only outside use is the io priority changing. If we move the
priority changing to not browsing the rbtree, we can remove any locking
from the rbtree updates and lookup completely. Let the sys_ioprio syscall
just mark processes as having the iopriority changed and lazily update
the private cfq io contexts the next time io is queued, and we can
remove this locking as well.

[PATCH] cfq-iosched: cleanups, fixes, dead code removal
A collection of little fixes and cleanups:
- We don't use the 'queued' sysfs exported attribute, since the
may_queue() logic was rewritten. So kill it.
- Remove dead defines.
- cfq_set_active_queue() can be rewritten cleaner with else if conditions.
- Several places had cfq_exit_cfqq() like logic, abstract that out and
use that.
- Annotate the cfqq kmem_cache_alloc() so the allocator knows that this
is a repeat allocation if it fails with __GFP_WAIT set. Allows the
allocator to start freeing some memory, if needed. CFQ already loops for
this condition, so might as well pass the hint down.
- Remove cfqd->rq_starved logic. It's not needed anymore after we dropped
the crq allocation in cfq_set_request().
- Remove uneeded parameter passing.

After Christophs SCSI change, the only usage left is RQ_ACTIVE

indicates use-after-free.
