[PATCH] sched: decrease number of load balances

Currently at a particular domain, each cpu in the sched group will do a
load balance at the frequency of balance_interval.  More the cores and
threads, more the cpus will be in each sched group at SMP and NUMA domain.
And we endup spending quite a bit of time doing load balancing in those
domains.

Fix this by making only one cpu(first idle cpu or first cpu in the group if
all the cpus are busy) in the sched group do the load balance at that

Christoph Lameter [Sun, 10 Dec 2006 10:20:27 +0000 (02:20 -0800)]
[PATCH] sched: call tasklet less frequently

Trigger softirq less frequently

We trigger the softirq before this patch using offset of sd->interval.
However, if the queue is busy then it is sufficient to schedule the softirq
with sd->interval * busy_factor.

So we modify the calculation of the next time to balance by taking
the interval added to last_balance again. This is only the
right value if the idle/busy situation continues as is.

There are two potential trouble spots:
- If the queue was idle and now gets busy then we call rebalance
  early. However, that is not a problem because we will then use
  the longer interval for the next period.

- If the queue was busy and becomes idle then we potentially
  wait too long before rebalancing. However, when the task
  goes idle then idle_balance is called. We add another calculation
  of the next balance time based on sd->interval in idle_balance
  so that we will rebalance soon.

V2->V3:
- Calculate rebalance time based on current jiffies and not
  based on the jiffies at the last time we load balanced.
  We no longer rely on staggering and therefore we can
  affort to do this now.

V3->V4:
- Use functions to do jiffy comparisons.

Andrew Morton [Sun, 10 Dec 2006 10:19:19 +0000 (02:19 -0800)]
[PATCH] io-accounting: core statistics

The present per-task IO accounting isn't very useful.  It simply counts the
number of bytes passed into read() and write().  So if a process reads 1MB
from an already-cached file, it is accused of having performed 1MB of I/O,
which is wrong.

(David Wright had some comments on the applicability of the present logical IO accounting:

  For billing purposes it is useless but for workload analysis it is very
  useful

  read_bytes/read_calls  average read request size
  write_bytes/write_calls average write request size

  read_bytes/read_blocks ie logical/physical can indicate hit rate or thrashing
  write_bytes/write_blocks  ie logical/physical  guess since pdflush writes can
                                                be missed

  I often look for logical larger than physical to see filesystem cache
  problems.  And the bytes/cpusec can help find applications that are
  dominating the cache and causing slow interactive response from page cache
  contention.

  I want to find the IO intensive applications and make sure they are doing
  efficient IO.  Thus the acctcms(sysV) or csacms command would give the high
  IO commands).

This patchset adds new accounting which tries to be more accurate.  We account
for three things:

reads:

  attempt to count the number of bytes which this process really did cause
  to be fetched from the storage layer.  Done at the submit_bio() level, so it
  is accurate for block-backed filesystems.  I also attempt to wire up NFS and
  CIFS.

writes:

  attempt to count the number of bytes which this process caused to be sent
  to the storage layer.  This is done at page-dirtying time.

  The big inaccuracy here is truncate.  If a process writes 1MB to a file
  and then deletes the file, it will in fact perform no writeout.  But it will
  have been accounted as having caused 1MB of write.

  So...

cancelled_writes:

  account the number of bytes which this process caused to not happen, by
  truncating pagecache.

  We _could_ just subtract this from the process's `write' accounting.  But
  that means that some processes would be reported to have done negative
  amounts of write IO, which is silly.

  So we just report the raw number and punt this decision up to userspace.

Now, we _could_ account for writes at the physical I/O level.  But

- This would require that we track memory-dirtying tasks at the per-page
  level (would require a new pointer in struct page).

- It would mean that IO statistics for a process are usually only available
  long after that process has exitted.  Which means that we probably cannot
  communicate this info via taskstats.

This patch:

Wire up the kernel-private data structures and the accessor functions to
manipulate them.

[PATCH] pdc202xx_new: fix PLL/timing issues

Fix the CRC errors in the higher UltraDMA modes with the Promise PDC20268
and newer chips that always occur on non-x86 machines and when there are
more than 2 adapters on x86 machines.  Fix the overclocking issue for
PDC20269 and newer chips that occurs when an UltraDMA/133 capable drive is
connected.  Here's the summary of changes:

- add code to detect the PLL input clock detection and setup it output clock,
  remove the PowerMac hacks;

- replace the macros accessing the indexed regiters with functions, switch to
  using them where appropriate, gather the PIO/MWDMA/UDMA timings into tables;

- rewrite the speedproc() handler to set the drive's transfer mode first, and
  then override the timing registers set by hardware on UltraDMA/133 chips;

- use better criterion for determining higher UltraDMA modes, and add comment
  concerning the doubtful value of the code enabling IORDY/prefetch;

- replace the stupid 'pdcnew_new_' prefixes with mere 'pdcnew_';

- get rid of unneded spaces, parens and type casts, clean up some printk's,
  add some new lines here and there...

This work is loosely based on these former patches by Albert Lee:

[1] http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-ide&m=110992442032300
[2] http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-ide&m=110992457729382
[3] http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-ide&m=110992474205555
[4] http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-ide&m=111019224802939

Some PLL clock detection code was backported from his pata_pdc2027x driver...

This code has been successfully tested by me on PDC2026[89] chips.

I tried to keep this rework as several patches but it made no sense: [2] was
largely a modification of the non-working timing override code, [3] by itself
extended the overclocking issue to the case of non-UltraDMA/133 drives, and
finally, the cleanup patch based on [1] ended up rejected...

[PATCH] spi: stabilize PIO mode transfers on PXA2xx systems

Stabilize PIO mode transfers against a range of word sizes and FIFO
thresholds and fixes word size setup/override issues.

1) 16 and 32 bit DMA/PIO transfers broken due to timing differences.
2) Potential for bad transfer counts due to transfer size assumptions.
3) Setup function broken is multiple ways.
4) Per transfer bit_per_word changes break DMA setup in pump_tranfers.
5) False positive timeout are not errors.
6) Changes in pxa2xx_spi_chip not effective in calls to setup.
7) Timeout scaling wrong for PXA255 NSSP.
8) Driver leaks memory while busy during unloading.

Known issues:

SPI_CS_HIGH and SPI_LSB_FIRST settings in struct spi_device are not handled.

Testing:

This patch has been test against the "random length, random bits/word,
random data (verified on loopback) and stepped baud rate by octaves
(3.6MHz to 115kHz)" test.  It is robust in PIO mode, using any
combination of tx and rx thresholds, and also in DMA mode (which
internally computes the thresholds).

Much thanks to Ned Forrester for exhaustive reviews, fixes and testing.
The driver is substantially better for his efforts.

[PATCH] read_zero_pagealigned() locking fix

Ramiro Voicu hits the BUG_ON(!pte_none(*pte)) in zeromap_pte_range: kernel
bugzilla 7645.  Right: read_zero_pagealigned uses down_read of mmap_sem,
but another thread's racing read of /dev/zero, or a normal fault, can
easily set that pte again, in between zap_page_range and zeromap_page_range
getting there.  It's been wrong ever since 2.4.3.

The simple fix is to use down_write instead, but that would serialize reads
of /dev/zero more than at present: perhaps some app would be badly
affected.  So instead let zeromap_page_range return the error instead of
BUG_ON, and read_zero_pagealigned break to the slower clear_user loop in
that case - there's no need to optimize for it.

Use -EEXIST for when a pte is found: BUG_ON in mmap_zero (the other user of
zeromap_page_range), though it really isn't interesting there.  And since
mmap_zero wants -EAGAIN for out-of-memory, the zeromaps better return that
than -ENOMEM.

2.6.19  stopped booting (or booted based on build/config) on our x86_64
systems due to a bug introduced in 2.6.19.  check_nmi_watchdog schedules an
IPI on all cpus to  busy wait on a flag, but fails to set the busywait
flag if NMI functionality is disabled.  This causes the secondary cpus
to spin in an endless loop, causing the kernel bootup to hang.
Depending upon the build, the  busywait flag got overwritten (stack variable)

the bug by setting the busywait flag before returning from check_nmi_watchdog.
I guess using a stack variable is not good here as the calling function could

     can be unset whilst we're in set_wq_data().

     Once the work is enqueued to be actually run, the only way off the queue
     is for it to be actually run.

     If it's a delayed work item, then the bit can't be cleared by the timer
     because we haven't started the timer yet.  Also, the pending bit can't be
     cleared by cancelling the delayed work _until_ the work item has had its
     timer started.

 (2) The workqueue pointer might change.  This can only happen in two cases:

     (a) The work item has just been queued to actually run, and so we're
         protected by the appropriate workqueue spinlock.

     (b) A delayed work item is being queued, and so the timer hasn't been
       started yet, and so no one else knows about the work item or can
       access it (the pending bit protects us).

     Besides, set_wq_data() _sets_ the workqueue pointer unconditionally, so
     it can be assigned instead.

So, replacing the set_wq_data() with a straight assignment would be okay
in most cases.

The problem is where we end up tangling with test_and_set_bit() emulated
using spinlocks, and even then it's not a problem _provided_
test_and_set_bit() doesn't attempt to modify the word if the bit was
set.

If that's a problem, then a bitops-proofed assignment will be required -
equivalent to atomic_set() vs other atomic_xxx() ops.
