[PATCH] arch/i386/pci/mmconfig.c tlb flush fix

We use the fixmap for accessing pci config space in pci_mmcfg_read/write().
The problem is in pci_exp_set_dev_base(). It is caching a last
accessed address to avoid calling set_fixmap_nocache() whenever
pci_mmcfg_read/write() is used.

  static inline void pci_exp_set_dev_base(int bus, int devfn)
  {
u32 dev_base = base | (bus << 20) | (devfn << 12);
if (dev_base != mmcfg_last_accessed_device) {
mmcfg_last_accessed_device = dev_base;
set_fixmap_nocache(FIX_PCIE_MCFG, dev_base);
}
  }

            cpu0                                        cpu1
  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    pci_mmcfg_read("device-A")
        pci_exp_set_dev_base()
            set_fixmap_nocache()
                                              pci_mmcfg_read("device-B")

    pci_mmcfg_read("device-B")
        pci_exp_set_dev_base()
            /* doesn't flush tlb */

But if cpus accessed the above order, the second pci_mmcfg_read() on
cpu0 doesn't flush the TLB, because "mmcfg_last_accessed_device" is
device-B.  So, second pci_mmcfg_read() on cpu0 accesses a device-A via
a previous TLB cache. This problem became the cause of several strange
behavior.

This patches fixes this situation by adds "mmcfg_last_accessed_cpu" check.

[ Alternatively, we could make a per-cpu mapping area or something. Not
  that it's probably worth it, but if we wanted to avoid all locking and
  instead just disable preemption, that would be the way to go. --Linus ]

[TCP]: Fix ambiguity in the `before' relation.

While looking at DCCP sequence numbers, I stumbled over a problem with
the following definition of before in tcp.h:

static inline int before(__u32 seq1, __u32 seq2)
{
        return (__s32)(seq1-seq2) < 0;
}

Problem: This definition suffers from an an ambiguity, i.e. always

           before(a, (a + 2^31) % 2^32)) = 1
           before((a + 2^31) % 2^32), a) = 1

         In text: when the difference between a and b amounts to 2^31,
         a is always considered `before' b, the function can not decide.
         The reason is that implicitly 0 is `before' 1 ... 2^31-1 ... 2^31

Solution: There is a simple fix, by defining before in such a way that
          0 is no longer `before' 2^31, i.e. 0 `before' 1 ... 2^31-1
          By not using the middle between 0 and 2^32, before can be made
          unambiguous.
          This is achieved by testing whether seq2-seq1 > 0 (using signed
          32-bit arithmetic).

I attach a patch to codify this. Also the `after' relation is basically
a redefinition of `before', it is now defined as a macro after before.

for CPU#0. But it decided to not send an IPI that no CPU - due to
TS_POLLING. But CPU#0 never woke up after its NEED_RESCHED bit was set,
and only rescheduled to PID:5856 upon the next lapic timer IRQ. The
result was a 600+ usecs latency and a missed wakeup!

the bug turned out to be an idle-wakeup bug introduced into the mainline
kernel this summer via an optimization in the x86_64 tree:

    commit 495ab9c045e1b0e5c82951b762257fe1c9d81564
    Author: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>
    Date:   Mon Jun 26 13:59:11 2006 +0200

    [PATCH] i386/x86-64/ia64: Move polling flag into thread_info_status

    During some profiling I noticed that default_idle causes a lot of
    memory traffic. I think that is caused by the atomic operations
    to clear/set the polling flag in thread_info. There is actually
    no reason to make this atomic - only the idle thread does it
    to itself, other CPUs only read it. So I moved it into ti->status.

the problem is this type of change:

        if (!hlt_counter && boot_cpu_data.hlt_works_ok) {
-               clear_thread_flag(TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG);
+               current_thread_info()->status &= ~TS_POLLING;
                smp_mb__after_clear_bit();
                while (!need_resched()) {
                        local_irq_disable();

this changes clear_thread_flag() to an explicit clearing of TS_POLLING.
clear_thread_flag() is defined as:

        clear_bit(flag, &ti->flags);

and clear_bit() is a LOCK-ed atomic instruction on all x86 platforms:

  static inline void clear_bit(int nr, volatile unsigned long * addr)
  {
          __asm__ __volatile__( LOCK_PREFIX
                  "btrl %1,%0"

hence smp_mb__after_clear_bit() is defined as a simple compile barrier:

  #define smp_mb__after_clear_bit()       barrier()

but the explicit TS_POLLING clearing introduced by the patch:

+               current_thread_info()->status &= ~TS_POLLING;

is not an atomic op! So the clearing of the TS_POLLING bit is freely
reorderable with the reading of the NEED_RESCHED bit - and both now
reside in different memory addresses.

CPU idle wakeup very much depends on ordered memory ops, the clearing of
the TS_POLLING flag must always be done before we test need_resched()
and hit the idle instruction(s). [Symmetrically, the wakeup code needs
to set NEED_RESCHED before it tests the TS_POLLING flag, so memory
ordering is paramount.]

Fernando's dual-core Athlon64 system has a sufficiently advanced memory
ordering model so that it triggered this scenario very often.

( And it also turned out that the reason why these latencies never
  triggered on my testsystems is that i routinely use idle=poll, which
  was the only idle variant not affected by this bug. )

The fix is to change the smp_mb__after_clear_bit() to an smp_mb(), to
act as an absolute barrier between the TS_POLLING write and the
NEED_RESCHED read. This affects almost all idling methods (default,
ACPI, APM), on all 3 x86 architectures: i386, x86_64, ia64.

[PATCH] jbd: wait for already submitted t_sync_datalist buffer to complete

In the current jbd code, if a buffer on BJ_SyncData list is dirty and not
locked, the buffer is refiled to BJ_Locked list, submitted to the IO and
waited for IO completion.

But the fsstress test showed the case that when a buffer was already
submitted to the IO just before the buffer_dirty(bh) check, the buffer was
not waited for IO completion.

Following patch solves this problem.  If it is assumed that a buffer is
submitted to the IO before the buffer_dirty(bh) check and still being
written to disk, this buffer is refiled to BJ_Locked list.

17 years ago[PATCH] increase CARDBUS_MEM_SIZE
Andrew Morton [Fri, 22 Dec 2006 09:11:36 +0000 (01:11 -0800)]
[PATCH] increase CARDBUS_MEM_SIZE

Linus sayeth:

Google knows everything, and finds, on MS own site no less:

  "Windows 2000 default resources:

   One 4K memory window

   One 2 MB memory window

   Two 256-byte I/O windows"

which is clearly utterly bogus and insufficient. But Microsoft apparently
realized this, and:

  "Windows XP default resources:

   Because one memory window of 4K and one window of 2 MB are not
   sufficient for CardBus controllers in many configurations, Windows XP
   allocates larger memory windows to CardBus controllers where possible.
   However, resource windows are static (that is, the operating system
   does not dynamically allocate larger memory windows if new devices
   appear.) Under Windows XP, CardBus controllers will be assigned the
   following resources:

   One 4K memory window, as in Windows 2000

   64 MB memory, if that amount of memory is available. If 64 MB is not
   available the controller will receive 32 MB; if 32 MB is not available,
   the controller will receive 16 MB; if 16 MB is not available, the
   bridge will receive 8 MB; and so on down to a minimum assignment of 1
   MB in configurations where memory is too constrained for the operating
   system to provide a larger window.

   Two 256-byte I/O windows"

So I think we have our answer. Windows uses one 4k window, and one 64MB
window. And they are no more dynamic than we are (we _could_ try to do it
dynamically, but let's face it, it's fairly painful to dynamically expand
PCI bus resources - you may need to reprogram everything up to the root,
so it would be absolutely crazy to do that unless you have some serious
masochistic tendencies).

So let's just increase our default value to 64M too.

[PATCH] fsstack: Remove inode copy

Trevor found a file size problem in eCryptfs in recent kernels, and he
tracked it down to an fsstack change.

This was the eCryptfs copy_attr_all:

> -void ecryptfs_copy_attr_all(struct inode *dest, const struct inode *src)
> -{
> -       dest->i_mode = src->i_mode;
> -       dest->i_nlink = src->i_nlink;
> -       dest->i_uid = src->i_uid;
> -       dest->i_gid = src->i_gid;
> -       dest->i_rdev = src->i_rdev;
> -       dest->i_atime = src->i_atime;
> -       dest->i_mtime = src->i_mtime;
> -       dest->i_ctime = src->i_ctime;
> -       dest->i_blkbits = src->i_blkbits;
> -       dest->i_flags = src->i_flags;
> -}

This is the fsstack copy_attr_all:

> +void fsstack_copy_attr_all(struct inode *dest, const struct inode *src,
> +                               int (*get_nlinks)(struct inode *))
> +{
> +       if (!get_nlinks)
> +               dest->i_nlink = src->i_nlink;
> +       else
> +               dest->i_nlink = (*get_nlinks)(dest);
> +
> +       dest->i_mode = src->i_mode;
> +       dest->i_uid = src->i_uid;
> +       dest->i_gid = src->i_gid;

> +       dest->i_atime = src->i_atime;
> +       dest->i_mtime = src->i_mtime;
> +       dest->i_ctime = src->i_ctime;
> +       dest->i_blkbits = src->i_blkbits;
> +       dest->i_flags = src->i_flags;
> +
> +       fsstack_copy_inode_size(dest, src);
> +}

The addition of copy_inode_size breaks eCryptfs, since eCryptfs needs to
interpolate the file sizes (eCryptfs has extra space in the lower file for
the header).  The setting of the upper inode size occurs elsewhere in
eCryptfs, and the new copy_attr_all now undoes what eCryptfs was doing
right beforehand.

I see three ways of going forward from here.  (1) Something like this patch
needs to go in (assuming it jives with Unionfs), (2) we need to make a
change to the fsstack API for more fine-grained control over copying
attributes (e.g., by also including a callback function for calculating the
right file size, which will require some more work on both eCryptfs and
Unionfs), or (3) the fsstack patch on eCryptfs (commit
0cc72dc7f050188d8d7344b1dd688cbc68d3cd30 made on Fri Dec 8 02:36:31 2006
-0800) needs to be yanked in 2.6.20.

I think the simplest solution, from eCryptfs' perspective, is to just
remove the inode size copy.

Remove inode size copy in general fsstack attr copy code. Stacked
filesystems may need to interpolate the inode size, since the file
size in the lower file may be different than the file size in the
stacked layer.

Commit 2d7d253548cffdce80f4e03664686e9ccb1b0ed7 ("fix cond_resched() fix")
introduced an 'expected_preempt_count' parameter to __resched_legal() to
fix a bug where it was returning a false negative when called from
cond_resched_lock() and preemption was enabled.

Unfortunately this broke things for when preemption is disabled.
preempt_count() will always return zero, thus failing the check against any
value of expected_preempt_count not equal to zero.  cond_resched_lock() for
example, passes an expected_preempt_count value of 1.

So fix the fix for the cond_resched() fix by skipping the check of
preempt_count() against expected_preempt_count when preemption is disabled.

Credit should go to Sunil Mushran for spotting the bug during testing.

[PATCH] truncate: clear page dirtiness before running try_to_free_buffers()

truncate presently invalidates the dirty page's buffer_heads then shoots down
the page.  But try_to_free_buffers() will now bale out because the page is
dirty.

Net effect: the LRU gets filled with dirty pages which have invalidated
buffer_heads attached.  They have no ->mapping and hence cannot be cleaned.
The machine leaks memory at an enormous rate.

Fix this by cleaning the page before running try_to_free_buffers(), so
try_to_free_buffers() can do its work.

Also, remember to do dirty-page-acoounting in cancel_dirty_page() so the
machine won't wedge up trying to write non-existent dirty pages.

easily be substituted by clear_page_dirty_for_io() followed by a call to

VM: Remove "clear_page_dirty()" and "test_clear_page_dirty()" functions

They were horribly easy to mis-use because of their tempting naming, and
they also did way more than any users of them generally wanted them to
do.

A dirty page can become clean under two circumstances:

 (a) when we write it out.  We have "clear_page_dirty_for_io()" for
     this, and that function remains unchanged.

     In the "for IO" case it is not sufficient to just clear the dirty
     bit, you also have to mark the page as being under writeback etc.

 (b) when we actually remove a page due to it becoming inaccessible to
     users, notably because it was truncate()'d away or the file (or
     metadata) no longer exists, and we thus want to cancel any
     outstanding dirty state.

For the (b) case, we now introduce "cancel_dirty_page()", which only
touches the page state itself, and verifies that the page is not mapped
(since cancelling writes on a mapped page would be actively wrong as it
is still accessible to users).

Some filesystems need to be fixed up for this: CIFS, FUSE, JFS,
ReiserFS, XFS all use the old confusing functions, and will be fixed
separately in subsequent commits (with some of them just removing the
offending logic, and others using clear_page_dirty_for_io()).

This was confirmed by Martin Michlmayr to fix the apt database
corruption on ARM.

[PATCH] x86_64: fix boot time hang in detect_calgary()

if CONFIG_CALGARY_IOMMU is built into the kernel via
CONFIG_CALGARY_IOMMU_ENABLED_BY_DEFAULT, or is enabled via the
iommu=calgary boot option, then the detect_calgary() function runs to
detect the presence of a Calgary IOMMU.

detect_calgary() first searches the BIOS EBDA area for a "rio_table_hdr"
BIOS table. It has this parsing algorithm for the EBDA:

while (offset) {
...
/* The next offset is stored in the 1st word. 0 means no more */
  offset = *((unsigned short *)(ptr + offset));
}

got that? Lets repeat it slowly: we've got a BIOS-supplied data
structure, plus Linux kernel code that will only break out of an
infinite parsing loop once the BIOS gives a zero offset. Ok?

Translation: what an excellent opportunity for BIOS writers to lock up
the Linux boot process in an utterly hard to debug place! Indeed the
BIOS jumped on that opportunity on my box, which has the following EBDA
chaining layout:

  384, 65282, 65535, 65535, 65535, 65535, 65535, 65535 ...

see the pattern? So my, definitely non-Calgary system happily locks up
in detect_calgary()!

the patch below fixes the boot hang by trusting the BIOS-supplied data
structure a bit less: the parser always has to make forward progress,
and if it doesnt, we break out of the loop and i get the expected kernel
message:

  Calgary: Unable to locate Rio Grande Table in EBDA - bailing!

          Calgary anyway, pass 'iommu=calgary' on the kernel command line.
          If unsure, say Y.

it's both 'default y', and says "If unsure, say Y". Clearly not a typo.
