17 years agosky2: power management/MSI workaround

sky2: power management/MSI workaround

MSI doesn't work properly on resume on many platforms because the
BIOS goes and changes it back to INTx mode after the sky2 driver has
restored in resume.

It is really a bug in the base power management resume code, and
this workaround is temporary until the change to PM code works it's way
through the release process.  The PM fix is non-trivial since it needs
to change when non-boot CPU's are enabled.

17 years agoe1000: Do not truncate TSO TCP header with 82544 workaround
Herbert Xu [Sat, 16 Dec 2006 01:04:33 +0000 (12:04 +1100)]
e1000: Do not truncate TSO TCP header with 82544 workaround

The e1000 driver has a workaround for 82544 on PCI-X where if the
terminating byte of a buffer is at addresses 0-3 mod 8, then 4 bytes
are shaved off it and defered to a new segment.  This is due to an
erratum that could otherwise cause TX hangs.

Unfortunately this breaks TSO because it may cause the TCP header to
be split over two segments which itself causes TX hangs.  The solution
is to pull 4 bytes of data up from the next segment rather than pushing
4 bytes off.  This ensures the TCP header remains in one piece and
works around the PCI-X hang.

This patch is based on one from Jesse Brandeburg.

This bug has been trigered by both CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB as well as Xen.

Note that the only reason we don't see this normally is because the
TCP stack starts writing from the end, i.e., it writes the TCP header
first then slaps on the IP header, etc.  So the end of the TCP header
(skb->tail - 1 here) is always aligned correctly.

Had we made the start of the IP header (e.g., IPv6) 8-byte aligned
instead, this would happen for normal TCP traffic as well.

[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.

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!

    [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

locked, the buffer is refiled to BJ_Locked list, submitted to the IO and

written to disk, this buffer is refiled to BJ_Locked list.

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_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;
> +
> +       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.
