      btrfs: implement delayed inode items operation · 16cdcec7
      Miao Xie authored 
      Changelog V5 -> V6:
- Fix oom when the memory load is high, by storing the delayed nodes into the
  root's radix tree, and letting btrfs inodes go.

Changelog V4 -> V5:
- Fix the race on adding the delayed node to the inode, which is spotted by
  Chris Mason.
- Merge Chris Mason's incremental patch into this patch.
- Fix deadlock between readdir() and memory fault, which is reported by
  Itaru Kitayama.

Changelog V3 -> V4:
- Fix nested lock, which is reported by Itaru Kitayama, by updating space cache
  inode in time.

Changelog V2 -> V3:
- Fix the race between the delayed worker and the task which does delayed items
  balance, which is reported by Tsutomu Itoh.
- Modify the patch address David Sterba's comment.
- Fix the bug of the cpu recursion spinlock, reported by Chris Mason

Changelog V1 -> V2:
- break up the global rb-tree, use a list to manage the delayed nodes,
  which is created for every directory and file, and used to manage the
  delayed directory name index items and the delayed inode item.
- introduce a worker to deal with the delayed nodes.

Compare with Ext3/4, the performance of file creation and deletion on btrfs
is very poor. the reason is that btrfs must do a lot of b+ tree insertions,
such as inode item, directory name item, directory name index and so on.

If we can do some delayed b+ tree insertion or deletion, we can improve the
performance, so we made this patch which implemented delayed directory name
index insertion/deletion and delayed inode update.

Implementation:
- introduce a delayed root object into the filesystem, that use two lists to
  manage the delayed nodes which are created for every file/directory.
  One is used to manage all the delayed nodes that have delayed items. And the
  other is used to manage the delayed nodes which is waiting to be dealt with
  by the work thread.
- Every delayed node has two rb-tree, one is used to manage the directory name
  index which is going to be inserted into b+ tree, and the other is used to
  manage the directory name index which is going to be deleted from b+ tree.
- introduce a worker to deal with the delayed operation. This worker is used
  to deal with the works of the delayed directory name index items insertion
  and deletion and the delayed inode update.
  When the delayed items is beyond the lower limit, we create works for some
  delayed nodes and insert them into the work queue of the worker, and then
  go back.
  When the delayed items is beyond the upper bound, we create works for all
  the delayed nodes that haven't been dealt with, and insert them into the work
  queue of the worker, and then wait for that the untreated items is below some
  threshold value.
- When we want to insert a directory name index into b+ tree, we just add the
  information into the delayed inserting rb-tree.
  And then we check the number of the delayed items and do delayed items
  balance. (The balance policy is above.)
- When we want to delete a directory name index from the b+ tree, we search it
  in the inserting rb-tree at first. If we look it up, just drop it. If not,
  add the key of it into the delayed deleting rb-tree.
  Similar to the delayed inserting rb-tree, we also check the number of the
  delayed items and do delayed items balance.
  (The same to inserting manipulation)
- When we want to update the metadata of some inode, we cached the data of the
  inode into the delayed node. the worker will flush it into the b+ tree after
  dealing with the delayed insertion and deletion.
- We will move the delayed node to the tail of the list after we access the
  delayed node, By this way, we can cache more delayed items and merge more
  inode updates.
- If we want to commit transaction, we will deal with all the delayed node.
- the delayed node will be freed when we free the btrfs inode.
- Before we log the inode items, we commit all the directory name index items
  and the delayed inode update.

I did a quick test by the benchmark tool[1] and found we can improve the
performance of file creation by ~15%, and file deletion by ~20%.

      cifs: fix cifsConvertToUCS() for the mapchars case · 11379b5e
      Jeff Layton authored 
      As Metze pointed out, commit 84cdf74e broke mapchars option:

    Commit "cifs: fix unaligned accesses in cifsConvertToUCS"
    (84cdf74e) does multiple steps
    in just one commit (moving the function and changing it without
    testing).

    put_unaligned_le16(temp, &target[j]); is never called for any
    codepoint the goes via the 'default' switch statement. As a result
    we put just zero (or maybe uninitialized) bytes into the target
    buffer.

His proposed patch looks correct, but doesn't apply to the current head
of the tree. This patch should also fix it.

      x86, AMD: Fix ARAT feature setting again · 14fb57dc

      Trying to enable the local APIC timer on early K8 revisions
uncovers a number of other issues with it, in conjunction with
the C1E enter path on AMD. Fixing those causes much more churn
and troubles than the benefit of using that timer brings so
don't enable it on K8 at all, falling back to the original
functionality the kernel had wrt to that.

      Borislav Petkov authored 
      This reverts commit e20a2d20, as it crashes
certain boxes with specific AMD CPU models.

Moving the lower endpoint of the Erratum 400 check to accomodate
earlier K8 revisions (A-E) opens a can of worms which is simply
not worth to fix properly by tweaking the errata checking
framework:

* missing IntPenging MSR on revisions < CG cause #GP:

http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=130541471818831

* makes earlier revisions use the LAPIC timer instead of the C1E
idle routine which switches to HPET, thus not waking up in
deeper C-states:

http://lkml.org/lkml/2011/4/24/20

Therefore, leave the original boundary starting with K8-revF.

      scsi: remove performance regression due to async queue run · 9937a5e2
      Jens Axboe authored 
      Commit c21e6beb removed our queue request_fn re-enter
protection, and defaulted to always running the queues from
kblockd to be safe. This was a known potential slow down,
but should be safe.

Unfortunately this is causing big performance regressions for
some, so we need to improve this logic. Looking into the details
of the re-enter, the real issue is on requeue of requests.

Requeue of requests upon seeing a BUSY condition from the device
ends up re-running the queue, causing traces like this:

scsi_request_fn()
        scsi_dispatch_cmd()
                scsi_queue_insert()
                        __scsi_queue_insert()
                                scsi_run_queue()
					scsi_request_fn()
						...

potentially causing the issue we want to avoid. So special
case the requeue re-run of the queue, but improve it to offload
the entire run of local queue and starved queue from a single
workqueue callback. This is a lot better than potentially
kicking off a workqueue run for each device seen.

This also fixes the issue of the local device going into recursion,
since the above mentioned commit never moved that queue run out
of line.

      PCI: Clear bridge resource flags if requested size is 0 · 93d2175d
      Yinghai Lu authored 
      During pci remove/rescan testing found:

  pci 0000:c0:03.0: PCI bridge to [bus c4-c9]
  pci 0000:c0:03.0:   bridge window [io  0x1000-0x0fff]

  pcieport: probe of 0000:c0:03.0 failed with error -22

This bug was caused by commit c8adf9a3 ("PCI: pre-allocate
additional resources to devices only after successful allocation of
essential resources.")

After that commit, pci_hotplug_io_size is changed to additional_io_size
from minium size.  So it will not go through resource_size(res) != 0
path, and will not be reset.

The root cause is: pci_bridge_check_ranges will set RESOURCE_IO flag for
pci bridge, and later if children do not need IO resource.  those bridge
resources will not need to be allocated.  but flags is still there.
that will confuse the the pci_enable_bridges later.

related code:

   static void assign_requested_resources_sorted(struct resource_list *head,
                                    struct resource_list_x *fail_head)
   {
           struct resource *res;
           struct resource_list *list;
           int idx;

           for (list = head->next; list; list = list->next) {
                   res = list->res;
                   idx = res - &list->dev->resource[0];
                   if (resource_size(res) && pci_assign_resource(list->dev, idx)) {
   ...
                           reset_resource(res);
                   }
           }
   }

At last, We have to clear the flags in pbus_size_mem/io when requested
size == 0 and !add_head.  becasue this case it will not go through
adjust_resources_sorted().

Just make size1 = size0 when !add_head. it will make flags get cleared.

At the same time when requested size == 0, add_size != 0, will still
have in head and add_list.  because we do not clear the flags for it.

After this, we will get right result:

  pci 0000:c0:03.0: PCI bridge to [bus c4-c9]
  pci 0000:c0:03.0:   bridge window [io  disabled]

      tick: Clear broadcast active bit when switching to oneshot · 07f4beb0
      Thomas Gleixner authored 
      The first cpu which switches from periodic to oneshot mode switches
also the broadcast device into oneshot mode. The broadcast device
serves as a backup for per cpu timers which stop in deeper
C-states. To avoid starvation of the cpus which might be in idle and
depend on broadcast mode it marks the other cpus as broadcast active
and sets the brodcast expiry value of those cpus to the next tick.

The oneshot mode broadcast bit for the other cpus is sticky and gets
only cleared when those cpus exit idle. If a cpu was not idle while
the bit got set in consequence the bit prevents that the broadcast
device is armed on behalf of that cpu when it enters idle for the
first time after it switched to oneshot mode.

In most cases that goes unnoticed as one of the other cpus has usually
a timer pending which keeps the broadcast device armed with a short
timeout. Now if the only cpu which has a short timer active has the
bit set then the broadcast device will not be armed on behalf of that
cpu and will fire way after the expected timer expiry. In the case of
Christians bug report it took ~145 seconds which is about half of the
wrap around time of HPET (the limit for that device) due to the fact
that all other cpus had no timers armed which expired before the 145
seconds timeframe.

The solution is simply to clear the broadcast active bit
unconditionally when a cpu switches to oneshot mode after the first
cpu switched the broadcast device over. It's not idle at that point
otherwise it would not be executing that code.

[ I fundamentally hate that broadcast crap. Why the heck thought some
  folks that when going into deep idle it's a brilliant concept to
  switch off the last device which brings the cpu back from that
  state? ]

Thanks to Christian for providing all the valuable debug information!

      vmxnet3: Fix inconsistent LRO state after initialization · ebde6f8a
      Thomas Jarosch authored 
      During initialization of vmxnet3, the state of LRO
gets out of sync with netdev->features.

This leads to very poor TCP performance in a IP forwarding
setup and is hitting many VMware users.

Simplified call sequence:
1. vmxnet3_declare_features() initializes "adapter->lro" to true.

2. The kernel automatically disables LRO if IP forwarding is enabled,
so vmxnet3_set_flags() gets called. This also updates netdev->features.

3. Now vmxnet3_setup_driver_shared() is called. "adapter->lro" is still
set to true and LRO gets enabled again, even though
netdev->features shows it's disabled.

Fix it by updating "adapter->lro", too.

The private vmxnet3 adapter flags are scheduled for removal
in net-next, see commit a0d2730c
"net: vmxnet3: convert to hw_features".

Patch applies to 2.6.37 / 2.6.38 and 2.6.39-rc6.
