[POWERPC] Fix SLB initialization at boot time

This partially reverts edd0622bd2e8f755c960827e15aa6908c3c5aa94.

It turns out that the part of that commit that aimed to ensure that we
created an SLB entry for the kernel stack on secondary CPUs when
starting the CPU didn't achieve its aim, and in fact caused a
regression, because get_paca()->kstack is not initialized at the point
where slb_initialize is called.

This therefore just reverts that part of that commit, while keeping
the change to slb_flush_and_rebolt, which is correct and necessary.

V4L/DVB (6042): b2c2-flexcop: fix Airstar HD5000 tuning regression

Git changeset 6bdcc6e6dbab8daffd05e5026486f34ba41a6c72 dropped the
stand-alone lgh06xf module, whose functionality was absorbed into the
dvb-pll module. However, there was a minor difference between the code
in lgh06xf and dvb-pll, which caused a regression in b2c2-flexcop
devices using the LG-H06xF NIM.

dvb-pll will probe for the presence of an i2c pll chip by performing a
single byte read, the lgh06xf driver did not do this. Unfortunately, the
code in flexcop-i2c.c does not currently support 1 byte or 0 byte reads
as a probe.  Such probes with the current code will always fail.

In order to work around this problem, and restore proper functionality
of the Airstar HD5000 device, this hack was created to make the probe
appear to succeed.  The single byte read in dvb_pll_attach is the only
place where such a probe would ever occur, so this change is safe, and
will not affect any other devices.

Of course, if one knew how to actually perform the read operation, it
would be better to go that route.  In the meantime, however, we must
apply this workaround, in order to prevent the regression that causes
tuning to fail on the Airstar HD5000 ATSC device.

Thanks to Jarod Wilson, who had originally reported this regression, and
to Geoffrey Hausheer, whose original workaround patch led us to find the
actual cause of the problem.

17 years agopata_pdc2027x: PLL detection fixes
Mikael Pettersson [Sat, 18 Aug 2007 20:58:53 +0000 (22:58 +0200)]
pata_pdc2027x: PLL detection fixes

Previously I reported that the pata_pdc2027x PLL detection changes
in kernel 2.6.22 broke the driver on my PowerMac:

>pata_pdc2027x: Invalid PLL input clock 1691742kHz, give up!

This is followed by a number of errors and speed reduction
steps on the affected ports.

There are two bugs in pata_pdc2027x's PLL detection code:

1. The PLL counter's start value is read before the chip is
   put in "test mode". Outside of test mode the counter is
   halted, and on the PowerMac the counter is zero because
   the chip hasn't been initialised by its BIOS.

   The fix is to move the read of the start value to after
   test mode is started, but before the mdelay() in test mode.
   This also improves the precision of the PLL detection.

2. The code to compute the number of PLL decrements during the
   mdelay() in test mode fails to consider that the PLL counter
   only is 30 bits wide. If there is a wraparound, it will compute
   an incorrect and much too large value. On the PowerMac, the
   start count is zero, the end count is a large 30-bit value, so
   wraparound occurs and an out of bounds PLL clock is detected.

   The fix is to mask the (start - end) computation to 30 bits.

While debugging this I also noticed that pdc_read_counter()
reads the two halves of the 30-bit PLL counter as 16-bit values,
and then combines them as if the halves only are 15 bits wide.
To avoid confusion, the halves should be read as 15-bit values.

This patch implements all three changes. It fixes the PLL detection
failure on my PowerMac, and doesn't cause any regressions on an x86
with an identical card.

Apply memory policies to top two highest zones when highest zone is ZONE_MOVABLE

The NUMA layer only supports NUMA policies for the highest zone.  When
ZONE_MOVABLE is configured with kernelcore=, the the highest zone becomes
ZONE_MOVABLE.  The result is that policies are only applied to allocations
like anonymous pages and page cache allocated from ZONE_MOVABLE when the
zone is used.

This patch applies policies to the two highest zones when the highest zone
is ZONE_MOVABLE.  As ZONE_MOVABLE consists of pages from the highest "real"
zone, it's always functionally equivalent.

The patch has been tested on a variety of machines both NUMA and non-NUMA
covering x86, x86_64 and ppc64.  No abnormal results were seen in
kernbench, tbench, dbench or hackbench.  It passes regression tests from
the numactl package with and without kernelcore= once numactl tests are
patched to wait for vmstat counters to update.

akpm: this is the nasty hack to fix NUMA mempolicies in the presence of
ZONE_MOVABLE and kernelcore= in 2.6.23.  Christoph says "For .24 either merge
the mobility or get the other solution that Mel is working on.  That solution
would only use a single zonelist per node and filter on the fly.  That may
help performance and also help to make memory policies work better."

cfag12864b fix

This one-liner patch fixes a bug in drivers/auxdisplay/cfag12864b.c

At cfag12864b_init(), the driver tries to kalloc some memory in the
variable cfag12864b_cache.

Then, as usual, it checks if the call failed. However, it checks
cfag12864b_buffer instead.

This patch changes the "cfag12864b_buffer" to "cfag12864b_cache" so the
correct variable is checked.

17 years agoautofs4: deadlock during create
Ian Kent [Wed, 22 Aug 2007 21:01:54 +0000 (14:01 -0700)]
autofs4: deadlock during create

Due to inconsistent locking in the VFS between calls to lookup and
revalidate deadlock can occur in the automounter.

The inconsistency is that the directory inode mutex is held for both lookup
and revalidate calls when called via lookup_hash whereas it is held only
for lookup during a path walk.  Consequently, if the mutex is held during a
call to revalidate autofs4 can't release the mutex to callback the daemon
as it can't know whether it owns the mutex.

This situation happens when a process tries to create a directory within an
automount and a second process also tries to create the same directory
between the lookup and the mkdir.  Since the first process has dropped the
mutex for the daemon callback, the second process takes it during
revalidate leading to deadlock between the autofs daemon and the second
process when the daemon tries to create the mount point directory.

After spending quite a bit of time trying to resolve this on more than one
occassion, using rather complex and ulgy approaches, it turns out that just
delaying the hashing of the dentry until the create operation works fine.

17 years agocorrect name for rtc-m41t80
David Brownell [Wed, 22 Aug 2007 21:01:27 +0000 (14:01 -0700)]
correct name for rtc-m41t80

The new rtc-m41t80 driver name doesn't match its module name, which
prevents it from properly hotplugging.  Since it's new, no platforms yet
depend on that name ...  so this patch fixes the driver name to match its
module name, rather than going the other way around with a MODULE_ALIAS().

NOTE: This sort of bug is a new thing to watch out for with new-style I2C
drivers; previously I2C couldn't hotplug.

synchronous lumpy reclaim: wait for page writeback when directly reclaiming contiguous areas

Lumpy reclaim works by selecting a lead page from the LRU list and then
selecting pages for reclaim from the order-aligned area of pages.  In the
situation were all pages in that region are inactive and not referenced by any
process over time, it works well.

In the situation where there is even light load on the system, the pages may
not free quickly.  Out of a area of 1024 pages, maybe only 950 of them are
freed when the allocation attempt occurs because lumpy reclaim returned early.
 This patch alters the behaviour of direct reclaim for large contiguous
blocks.

The first attempt to call shrink_page_list() is asynchronous but if it fails,
the pages are submitted a second time and the calling process waits for the IO
to complete.  This may stall allocators waiting for contiguous memory but that
should be expected behaviour for high-order users.  It is preferable behaviour
to potentially queueing unnecessary areas for IO.  Note that kswapd will not
stall in this fashion.

synchronous lumpy reclaim: ensure we count pages transitioning inactive via clear_active_flags

As pointed out by Mel when reclaim is applied at higher orders a significant
amount of IO may be started.  As this takes finite time to drain reclaim will
consider more areas than ultimatly needed to satisfy the request.  This leads
to more reclaim than strictly required and reduced success rates.

I was able to confirm Mel's test results on systems locally.  These show that
even under light load the success rates drop off far more than expected.
Testing with a modified version of his patch (which follows) I was able to
allocate almost all of ZONE_MOVABLE with a near idle system.  I ran 5 test
passes sequentially following system boot (the system has 29 hugepages in
ZONE_MOVABLE):

  2.6.23-rc1              11  8  6  7  7
  sync_lumpy              28 28 29 29 26

These show that although hugely better than the near 0% success normally
expected we can only allocate about a 1/4 of the zone.  Using synchronous
reclaim for these allocations we get close to 100% as expected.

I have also run our standard high order tests and these show no regressions in
allocation success rates at rest, and some significant improvements under
load.

This patch:

We are transitioning pages from active to inactive in clear_active_flags,
those need counting as PGDEACTIVATE vm events.
