[PATCH] RTC: Remove RTC UIP synchronization on x86

Reading the CMOS clock on x86 and some other arches currently takes up to one
second because it synchronizes with the CMOS second tick-over.  This delay
shows up at boot time as well a resume time.

This is the currently the most substantial boot time delay for machines that
are working towards instant-on capability.  Also, a quick back of the envelope
calculation (.5sec * 2M users * 1 boot a day * 10 years) suggests it has cost
Linux users in the neighborhood of a million man-hours.

An earlier thread on this topic is here:

http://groups.google.com/group/linux.kernel/browse_frm/thread/8a24255215ff6151/2aa97e66a977653d?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&rnum=1&prev=/groups%3Fhl%3Den%26lr%3D%26ie%3DUTF-8%26selm%3D1To2R-2S7-11%40gated-at.bofh.it#2aa97e66a977653d

..from which the consensus seems to be that it's no longer desirable.

In my view, there are basically four cases to consider:

1) networked, need precise walltime: use NTP
2) networked, don't need precise walltime: use NTP anyway
3) not networked, don't need sub-second precision walltime: don't care
4) not networked, need sub-second precision walltime:
   get a network or a radio time source because RTC isn't good enough anyway

So this patch series simply removes the synchronization in favor of a simple
seqlock-like approach using the seconds value.

Note that for purposes of timer accuracy on wakeup, this patch will cause us
to fire timers up to one second late.  But as the current timer resume code
will already sync once (or more!), it's no worse for short timers.

[PATCH] md: Remove bi_end_io call out from under a spinlock

raid5 overloads bi_phys_segments to count the number of blocks that the
request was broken in to so that it knows when the bio is completely handled.

Accessing this must always be done under a spinlock.  In one case we also call
bi_end_io under that spinlock, which probably isn't ideal as bi_end_io could
be expensive (even though it isn't allowed to sleep).

So we reducde the range of the spinlock to just accessing bi_phys_segments.

We allow the superblock to record an 'old' and a 'new' geometry, and a
position where any conversion is up to.  The geometry allows for changing
chunksize, layout and level as well as number of devices.

When using verion-0.90 superblock, we convert the version to 0.91 while the
conversion is happening so that an old kernel will refuse the assemble the
array.  For version-1, we use a feature bit for the same effect.

When starting an array we check for an incomplete reshape and restart the
reshape process if needed.  If the reshape stopped at an awkward time (like
when updating the first stripe) we refuse to assemble the array, and let
user-space worry about it.

[PATCH] md: Core of raid5 resize process

This patch provides the core of the resize/expand process.

sync_request notices if a 'reshape' is happening and acts accordingly.

It allocated new stripe_heads for the next chunk-wide-stripe in the target
geometry, marking them STRIPE_EXPANDING.

Then it finds which stripe heads in the old geometry can provide data needed
by these and marks them STRIPE_EXPAND_SOURCE.  This causes stripe_handle to
read all blocks on those stripes.

Once all blocks on a STRIPE_EXPAND_SOURCE stripe_head are read, any that are
needed are copied into the corresponding STRIPE_EXPANDING stripe_head.  Once a
STRIPE_EXPANDING stripe_head is full, it is marks STRIPE_EXPAND_READY and then
is written out and released.

[PATCH] md: Infrastructure to allow normal IO to continue while array is expanding

We need to allow that different stripes are of different effective sizes, and
use the appropriate size.  Also, when a stripe is being expanded, we must
block any IO attempts until the stripe is stable again.

Key elements in this change are:
 - each stripe_head gets a 'disk' field which is part of the key,
   thus there can sometimes be two stripe heads of the same area of
   the array, but covering different numbers of devices.  One of these
   will be marked STRIPE_EXPANDING and so won't accept new requests.
 - conf->expand_progress tracks how the expansion is progressing and
   is used to determine whether the target part of the array has been
   expanded yet or not.

[PATCH] md: Allow stripes to be expanded in preparation for expanding an array

Before a RAID-5 can be expanded, we need to be able to expand the stripe-cache
data structure.

This requires allocating new stripes in a new kmem_cache.  If this succeeds,
we copy cache pages over and release the old stripes and kmem_cache.

We then allocate new pages.  If that fails, we leave the stripe cache at it's
new size.  It isn't worth the effort to shrink it back again.

Unfortuanately this means we need two kmem_cache names as we, for a short
period of time, we have two kmem_caches.  So they are raid5/%s and
raid5/%s-alt

[PATCH] md: Split disks array out of raid5 conf structure so it is easier to grow

The remainder of this batch implements raid5 reshaping.  Currently the only
shape change that is supported is added a device, but it is envisioned that
changing the chunksize and layout will also be supported, as well as changing
the level (e.g.  1->5, 5->6).

The reshape process naturally has to move all of the data in the array, and so
should be used with caution.  It is believed to work, and some testing does
support this, but wider testing would be great for increasing my confidence.

You will need a version of mdadm newer than 2.3.1 to make use of raid5 growth.
 This is because mdadm need to take a copy of a 'critical section' at the
start of the array incase there is a crash at an awkward moment.  On restart,
mdadm will restore the critical section and allow reshape to continue.

I hope to release a 2.4-pre by early next week - it still needs a little more
polishing.

This patch:

Previously the array of disk information was included in the raid5 'conf'
structure which was allocated to an appropriate size.  This makes it awkward
to change the size of that array.  So we split it off into a separate
kmalloced array which will require a little extra indexing, but is much easier
to grow.

[PATCH] dm snapshot: fix kcopyd destructor

Before removing a snapshot, wait for the completion of any kcopyd jobs using
it.

Do this by maintaining a count (nr_jobs) of how many outstanding jobs each
kcopyd_client has.

The snapshot destructor first unregisters the snapshot so that no new kcopyd
jobs (created by writes to the origin) will reference that particular
snapshot.  kcopyd_client_destroy() is now run next to wait for the completion

[PATCH] dm: remove SECTOR_FORMAT

CONFIG_LBD=n and on x86_64 it's unsigned long long with CONFIG_LBD=n.

[PATCH] drivers/md/dm-raid1.c: Fix inconsistent mirroring after interrupted recovery

dm-mirror has potential data corruption problem: while on-disk log shows
that all disk contents are in-sync, actual contents of the disks are not
synchronized.  This problem occurs if initial recovery (synching) is
interrupted and resumed.

Attached patch fixes this problem.

Background:

rh_dec() changes the region state from RH_NOSYNC (out-of-sync) to RH_CLEAN
(in-sync), which results in the corresponding bit of clean_bits being set.

This is harmful if on-disk log is used and the map is removed/suspended
before the initial sync is completed.  The clean_bits is written down to
the on-disk log at the map removal, and, upon resume, it's read and copied
to sync_bits.  Since the recovery process refers to the sync_bits to find a
region to be recovered, the region whose state was changed from RH_NOSYNC
to RH_CLEAN is no longer recovered.

If you haven't applied dm-raid1-read-balancing.patch proposed in dm-devel
sometimes ago, the contents of the mirrored disk just corrupt silently.  If
you have, balanced read may get bogus data from out-of-sync disks.

The patch keeps RH_NOSYNC state unchanged.  It will be changed to
RH_RECOVERING when recovery starts and get reclaimed when the recovery
completes.  So it doesn't leak the region hash entry.

Description:

Keep RH_NOSYNC state unchanged when I/O on the region completes.

rh_dec() changes the region state from RH_NOSYNC (out-of-sync) to RH_CLEAN
(in-sync), which results in the corresponding bit of clean_bits being set.

This is harmful if on-disk log is used and the map is removed/suspended
before the initial sync is completed.  The clean_bits is written down to
the on-disk log at the map removal, and, upon resume, it's read and copied
to sync_bits.  Since the recovery process refers to the sync_bits to find a
region to be recovered, the region whose state was changed from RH_NOSYNC
to RH_CLEAN is no longer recovered.

If you haven't applied dm-raid1-read-balancing.patch proposed in dm-devel
sometimes ago, the contents of the mirrored disk just corrupt silently.  If
you have, balanced read may get bogus data from out-of-sync disks.

The RH_NOSYNC region will be changed to RH_RECOVERING when recovery starts
on the region and get reclaimed when the recovery completes.  So it doesn't
leak the region hash entry.

Alasdair said:

  I've analysed the relevant part of the state machine and I believe that
  the patch is correct.

  (Further work on this code is still needed - this patch has the
  side-effect of holding onto memory unnecessarily for long periods of time
  under certain workloads - but better that than corrupting data.)

[PATCH] device-mapper snapshot: fix invalidation

When a snapshot becomes invalid, s->valid is set to 0.  In this state, a
snapshot can no longer be accessed.

When s->lock is acquired, before doing anything else, s->valid must be checked
to ensure the snapshot remains valid.

This patch eliminates some races (that may cause panics) by adding some
missing checks.  At the same time, some unnecessary levels of indentation are
removed and snapshot invalidation is moved into a single function that always

[PATCH] device-mapper snapshot: replace sibling list

The siblings "list" is used unsafely at the moment.

Firstly, only the element on the list being changed gets locked (via the
snapshot lock), not the next and previous elements which have pointers that
are also being changed.

Secondly, if you have two or more snapshots and write to the same chunk a
second time before every snapshot has finished making its private copy of the
data, if you're unlucky, _origin_write() could attempt its list_merge() and
dereference a 'last' pointer to a pending_exception structure that has just
been freed.

Analysis reveals that the list is actually only there for reference counting.
If 5 pending_exceptions are needed in origin_write, then the 5 are joined
together into a 5-element list - without a separate list head because there's
nowhere suitable to store it.  As the pending_exceptions complete, they are
removed from the list one-by-one and any contents of origin_bios get moved
across to one of the remaining pending_exceptions on the list.  Whichever one
is last is detected because list_empty() is then true and the origin_bios get
submitted.

The fix proposed here uses an alternative reference counting mechanism by
choosing one of the pending_exceptions as primary and maintaining an atomic
counter there.

[PATCH] device-mapper snapshot: fix origin_write pending_exception submission

Say you have several snapshots of the same origin and then you issue a write
to some place in the origin for the first time.

Before the device-mapper snapshot target lets the write go through to the
underlying device, it needs to make a copy of the data that is about to be
overwritten.  Each snapshot is independent, so it makes one copy for each
snapshot.

__origin_write() loops through each snapshot and checks to see whether a copy
is needed for that snapshot.  (A copy is only needed the first time that data
changes.)

If a copy is needed, the code allocates a 'pending_exception' structure
holding the details.  It links these together for all the snapshots, then
works its way through this list and submits the copying requests to the kcopyd
thread by calling start_copy().  When each request is completed, the original
pending_exception structure gets freed in pending_complete().

If you're very unlucky, this structure can get freed *before* the submission
process has finished walking the list.

This patch:

  1) Creates a new temporary list pe_queue to hold the pending exception
     structures;

  2) Does all the bookkeeping up-front, then walks through the new list
     safely and calls start_copy() for each pending_exception that needed it;

  3) Avoids attempting to add pe->siblings to the list if it's already
     connected.

[NB This does not fix all the races in this code.  More patches will follow.]

[PATCH] framebuffer: cmap-setting return values

A set of 3 small bugfixes, all of which are related to bogus return values
of fb colormap-setting functions.

First, fb_alloc_cmap returns -1 if memory allocation fails. This is a hard
condition to reproduce since you'd have to be really low on memory, but from
studying the contexts in which it is called, I think this function should be
returning a negative errno, and the -1 will be seen as an EPERM. Switching it
to -ENOMEM makes sense.

Second, the store_cmap function which is called for writes to
/sys/class/graphics/fb0/color_map returns 0 for success, but it should be
returning the count of bytes written since its return value ends up in
userspace as the result of the write() syscall.

Third, radeonfb returns 1 instead of a negative errno when FBIOPUTCMAP is
called with an oversized colormap.  This is seen in userspace as a return
value of 1 from the ioctl() syscall with errno left unchanged.  A more
useful return value would be -EINVAL.

[PATCH] vgacon: fix EGA cursor resize function

This corrects cursor resize on ega boards: registers are write-only, so we
shouldn't even try to read them.  And on ega, 31/30 produces a flat cursor.
Using 31/31 is better: except with 32 pixels high fonts, it shouldn't show
up.

[PATCH] pnp: mpu401: adjust pnp_register_driver signature

This series of patches removes the assumption that pnp_register_driver()
returns the number of devices claimed.  Returning the count is unreliable
because devices may be hot-plugged in the future.  (Many devices don't support
hot-plug, of course, but PNP in general does.)

This changes the convention to "zero for success, or a negative error value,"
which matches pci_register_driver(), acpi_bus_register_driver(), and
platform_driver_register().

If drivers need to know the number of devices, they can count calls to their
.probe() methods.
