This patch closes the IRQ race and makes various other OHCI & EHCI code
path safer vs. suspend/resume.
I've been able to (finally !) successfully suspend and resume various
Mac models, with or without USB mouse plugged, or plugging while asleep,
or unplugging while asleep etc... all without a crash.

Alan, please verify the UHCI bit I did, I only verified that it builds.
It's very simple so I wouldn't expect any issue there. If you aren't
confident, then just drop the hunks that change uhci-hcd.c

I also made the patch a little bit more "safer" by making sure the store
to the interrupt register that disables interrupts is not posted before
I set the flag and drop the spinlock.

Without this patch, you cannot reliably sleep/wakeup any recent Mac, and
I suspect PCs have some more sneaky issues too (they don't frankly crash
with machine checks because x86 tend to silently swallow PCI errors but
that won't last afaik, at least PCI Express will blow up in those
situations, but the USB code may still misbehave).

Mike Stroyan [Wed, 30 Nov 2005 00:12:55 +0000 (16:12 -0800)]
[IPV4] tcp/route: Another look at hash table sizes

  The tcp_ehash hash table gets too big on systems with really big memory.
It is worse on systems with pages larger than 4KB.  It wastes memory that
could be better used.  It also makes the netstat command slow because reading
/proc/net/tcp and /proc/net/tcp6 needs to go through the full hash table.

  The default value should not be larger for larger page sizes.  It seems
that the effect of page size is an unintended error dating back a long
time.  I also wonder if the default value really should be a larger
fraction of memory for systems with more memory.  While systems with
really big ram can afford more space for hash tables, it is not clear to
me that they benefit from increasing the allocation ratio for this table.

  The amount of memory allocated is determined by net/ipv4/tcp.c:tcp_init and
mm/page_alloc.c:alloc_large_system_hash.

tcp_init calls alloc_large_system_hash passing parameters-
    bucketsize=sizeof(struct tcp_ehash_bucket)
    numentries=thash_entries
    scale=(num_physpages >= 128 * 1024) ? (25-PAGE_SHIFT) : (27-PAGE_SHIFT)
    limit=0

On i386, PAGE_SHIFT is 12 for a page size of 4K
On ia64, PAGE_SHIFT defaults to 14 for a page size of 16K

The num_physpages test above makes the allocation take a larger fraction
of the total memory on systems with larger memory.  The threshold size
for a i386 system is 512MB.  For an ia64 system with 16KB pages the
threshold is 2GB.

For smaller memory systems-
On i386, scale = (27 - 12) = 15
On ia64, scale = (27 - 14) = 13
For larger memory systems-
On i386, scale = (25 - 12) = 13
On ia64, scale = (25 - 14) = 11

  For the rest of this discussion, I'll just track the larger memory case.

  The default behavior has numentries=thash_entries=0, so the allocated
size is determined by either scale or by the default limit of 1/16 of
total memory.

In alloc_large_system_hash-
| numentries = (flags & HASH_HIGHMEM) ? nr_all_pages : nr_kernel_pages;
| numentries += (1UL << (20 - PAGE_SHIFT)) - 1;
| numentries >>= 20 - PAGE_SHIFT;
| numentries <<= 20 - PAGE_SHIFT;

  At this point, numentries is pages for all of memory, rounded up to the
nearest megabyte boundary.

| /* limit to 1 bucket per 2^scale bytes of low memory */
| if (scale > PAGE_SHIFT)
| numentries >>= (scale - PAGE_SHIFT);
| else
| numentries <<= (PAGE_SHIFT - scale);

On i386, numentries >>= (13 - 12), so numentries is 1/8196 of
bytes of total memory.
On ia64, numentries <<= (14 - 11), so numentries is 1/2048 of
bytes of total memory.

|        log2qty = long_log2(numentries);
|
|        do {
|                size = bucketsize << log2qty;

bucketsize is 16, so size is 16 times numentries, rounded
down to a power of two.

On i386, size is 1/512 of bytes of total memory.
On ia64, size is 1/128 of bytes of total memory.

For smaller systems the results are
On i386, size is 1/2048 of bytes of total memory.
On ia64, size is 1/512 of bytes of total memory.

  The large page effect can be removed by just replacing
the use of PAGE_SHIFT with a constant of 12 in the calls to
alloc_large_system_hash.  That makes them more like the other uses of
that function from fs/inode.c and fs/dcache.c
