| Generic semaphore implementation
|
| After I manually reverted the patch against 2.6.26-rc1 while fixing
| lots of conflicts/errors, aim7 regression became less than 2%.
i reproduced the AIM7 workload and can confirm Yanmin's findings that
-.26-rc1 regresses over .25 - by over 67% here.
Looking at the workload i found and fixed what i believe to be the real
bug causing the AIM7 regression: it was inefficient wakeup / scheduling
/ locking behavior of the new generic semaphore code, causing suboptimal
performance.
The problem comes from the following code. The new semaphore code does
this on down():
the fastpath looks good and obvious, but note the following property of
the contended path: if there's a task on the ->wait_list, the up() of
the current owner will "pass over" ownership to that waiting task, in a
wake-one manner, via the waiter->up flag and by removing the waiter from
the wait list.
That is all and fine in principle, but as implemented in
kernel/semaphore.c it also creates a nasty, hidden source of contention!
The contention comes from the following property of the new semaphore
code: the new owner owns the semaphore exclusively, even if it is not
running yet.
So if the old owner, even if just a few instructions later, does a
down() [lock_kernel()] again, it will be blocked and will have to wait
on the new owner to eventually be scheduled (possibly on another CPU)!
Or if another task gets to lock_kernel() sooner than the "new owner"
scheduled, it will be blocked unnecessarily and for a very long time
when there are 2000 tasks running.
I.e. the implementation of the new semaphores code does wake-one and
lock ownership in a very restrictive way - it does not allow
opportunistic re-locking of the lock at all and keeps the scheduler from
picking task order intelligently.
This kind of scheduling, with 2000 AIM7 processes running, creates awful
cross-scheduling between those 2000 tasks, causes reduced parallelism, a
throttled runqueue length and a lot of idle time. With increasing number
of CPUs it causes an exponentially worse behavior in AIM7, as the chance
for a newly woken new-owner task to actually run anytime soon is less
and less likely.
Note that it takes just a tiny bit of contention for the 'new-semaphore
catastrophy' to happen: the wakeup latencies get added to whatever small
contention there is, and quickly snowball out of control!
I believe Yanmin's findings and numbers support this analysis too.
The best fix for this problem is to use the same scheduling logic that
the kernel/mutex.c code uses: keep the wake-one behavior (that is OK and
wanted because we do not want to over-schedule), but also allow
opportunistic locking of the lock even if a wakee is already "in
flight".
The patch below implements this new logic. With this patch applied the
AIM7 regression is largely fixed on my quad testbox:
i.e. a 67% speedup. We are now back to within 1% of the v2.6.25
performance levels and have zero idle time during the test, as expected.
Btw., interactivity also improved dramatically with the fix - for
example console-switching became almost instantaneous during this
workload (which after all is running 2000 tasks at once!), without the
patch it was stuck for a minute at times.
There's another nice side-effect of this speedup patch, the new generic
semaphore code got even smaller:
text data bss dec hex filename
1241 0 0 1241 4d9 semaphore.o.before
1207 0 0 1207 4b7 semaphore.o.after
(because the waiter.up complication got removed.)
Longer-term we should look into using the mutex code for the generic
semaphore code as well - but i's not easy due to legacies and it's
outside of the scope of v2.6.26 and outside the scope of this patch as
well.

Fix warning from pmd_bad() at bootup on a HIGHMEM64G HIGHPTE x86_32.

weaken every pmd_bad and pud_bad check to let huge pages slip through - in
part they check that we _don't_ have a huge page where it's not expected.
Put the x86 pmd_bad() and pud_bad() definitions back to what they have long
been: they can be improved (x86_32 should use PTE_MASK, to stop PAE thinking
junk in the upper word is good; and x86_64 should follow x86_32's stricter
comparison, to stop thinking any subset of required bits is good); but that
should be a later patch.
Fix Hans' good observation that follow_page() will never find pmd_huge()
because that would have already failed the pmd_bad test: test pmd_huge in
between the pmd_none and pmd_bad tests. Tighten x86's pmd_huge() check?
No, once it's a hugepage entry, it can get quite far from a good pmd: for
example, PROT_NONE leaves it with only ACCESSED of the KERN_PGTABLE bits.
However... though follow_page() contains this and another test for huge
pages, so it's nice to keep it working on them, where does it actually get
called on a huge page? get_user_pages() checks is_vm_hugetlb_page(vma) to

[PATCH] fix SMP ordering hole in fcntl_setlk()
fcntl_setlk()/close() race prevention has a subtle hole - we need to
make sure that if we *do* have an fcntl/close race on SMP box, the
access to descriptor table and inode->i_flock won't get reordered.
As it is, we get STORE inode->i_flock, LOAD descriptor table entry vs.
STORE descriptor table entry, LOAD inode->i_flock with not a single
lock in common on both sides. We do have BKL around the first STORE,
but check in locks_remove_posix() is outside of BKL and for a good
reason - we don't want BKL on common path of close(2).
Solution is to hold ->file_lock around fcheck() in there; that orders
us wrt removal from descriptor table that preceded locks_remove_posix()
on close path and we either come first (in which case eviction will be
handled by the close side) or we'll see the effect of close and do
eviction ourselves. Note that even though it's read-only access,
we do need ->file_lock here - rcu_read_lock() won't be enough to
order the things.
And with that last patch to affs killing the last put_inode instance we
can finally, after many years of transition kill this racy and awkward
interface.
(It's kinda funny that even the description in
Documentation/filesystems/vfs.txt was entirely wrong..)

pata_atiixp: Don't disable
A couple of distributions (Fedora, Ubuntu) were having weird problems with the
ATI IXP series PATA controllers being reported as simplex. At the heart of
the problem is that both distros ignored the recommendations to load pata_acpi
and ata_generic *AFTER* specific host drivers.
The underlying cause however is that if you D3 and then D0 an ATI IXP it
helpfully throws away some configuration and won't let you rewrite it.
Add checks to ata_generic and pata_acpi to pin ATIIXP devices. Possibly the
real answer here is to quirk them and pin them, but right now we can't do that
before they've been pcim_enable()'d by a driver.

problem but identified the cause correctly and he had tested the right values

sata_mv NCQ-EH for FIS-based switching
Convert sata_mv's EH for FIS-based switching (FBS) over to the

multiple failed links on a port-multiplier when using NCQ.
To do this, we clear the ERR_DEV bit in the EDMA Halt-Conditions register,
so that the EDMA engine doesn't self-disable on the first NCQ error.
Our EH code sets the MV_PP_FLAG_DELAYED_EH flag to prevent new commands
being queued while we await completion of all outstanding NCQ commands
on all links of the failed PM.
The SATA Test Control register tells us which links have failed,
so we must only wait for any other active links to finish up
before we stop the EDMA and run the .error_handler afterward.

This involves a port flag (MV_PP_FLAG_DELAYED_EH) to prevent new
commands being queued, and a pmp bitmap to indicate which pmp links
had NCQ errors.
The new mv_pmp_error_handler() uses those values to invoke
ata_eh_analyze_ncq_error() on each failed link, prior to freezing
the port and passing control to sata_pmp_error_handler().

mlx4_core: Support creation of FMRs with pages smaller than 4K
Don't hard code a test against a minimum page shift of 12, since the
device may support smaller pages. Test against the actual smallest
page size from the device capabilities.

Commit 06916639e2fed9ee475efef2747a1b7429f8fe76 ("driver-core: add
dev_name() to help transition away from using bus_id") added a static
inline dev_name() and used it in dev_printk.
Unfortunately, drivers/edac/edac_core.h defines a macro called
dev_name(). Rename the latter.
David Miller pointed it out that nothing in cpu_clock() sets
prev_cpu_time. This caused __sync_cpu_clock() to be called
all the time - against the intention of this code.
The result was that in practice we hit a global spinlock every
time cpu_clock() is called - which - even though cpu_clock()
is used for tracing and debugging, is suboptimal.
While at it, also:
- move the irq disabling to the outest layer,
this should make cpu_clock() warp-free when called with irqs
enabled.
- use long long instead of cycles_t - for platforms where cycles_t
is 32-bit.

When the echoed value was less than the number of processores, the result of the
sentence "shares/nr_cpu_ids" was 0, and then the system called div64() to divide
the result, the Div0 error occured.
It is unnecessary that the shares value is divided by nr_cpu_ids, I think.
Because in the function __update_group_shares_cpu() and init_tg_cfs_entry(),
the shares value isn't divided by nr_cpu_ids when setting shares of the sched
entity.
This patch fixes this bug. And echoing ULONG_MAX value into cpu.shares also
causes Div0 error, so we set a macro MAX_SHARES to limit the max value of
shares.
Concurrent calls to detach_destroy_domains and arch_init_sched_domains
were prevented by the old scheduler subsystem cpu hotplug mutex. When
this got converted to get_online_cpus() the locking got broken.
Unlike before now several processes can concurrently enter the critical
sections that were protected by the old lock.
So use the already present doms_cur_mutex to protect these sections again.

This looks like its indeed not cancelled at all and migrates the it to
another cpu. Fix it via a proper hotplug notifier mechanism.

We currently use an optimization to skip the overhead of wake-idle
processing if more than one task is assigned to a run-queue. The
assumption is that the system must already be load-balanced or we
wouldnt be overloaded to begin with.
The problem is that we are looking at rq->nr_running, which may include
RT tasks in addition to CFS tasks. Since the presence of RT tasks
really has no bearing on the balance status of CFS tasks, this throws
the calculation off.
This patch changes the logic to only consider the number of CFS tasks
when making the decision to optimze the wake-idle.
Dmitry Adamushko pointed out a logic error in task_wake_up_rt() where we
will always evaluate to "true". You can find the thread here:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/4/22/296
In reality, we only want to try to push tasks away when a wake up request is
not going to preempt the current task. So lets fix it.
Note: We introduce test_tsk_need_resched() instead of open-coding the flag
check so that the merge-conflict with -rt should help remind us that we
may need to support NEEDS_RESCHED_DELAYED in the future, too.
