On HPPA there exists some older GSC graphics cards, which need special graphic-card-BIOS patching to become supported. Since we don't have yet implemented the patching, it's better to detect such cards in advance, inform to the user that there are known problems and to not activate the card. Problematic GSC cards and BIOS versions are: * Hyperdrive/Hyperbowl (A4071A) graphics card series: * ID = 0x2BCB015A (Version 8.04/8) * ID = 0x2BCB015A (Version 8.04/11) * Thunder 1 VISUALIZE 48 card: * ID = 0x2F23E5FC (Version 8.05/9) * Thunder 2 VISUALIZE 48 XP card: * ID = 0x2F8D570E (Version 8.05/12) * Some Hyperion and ThunderHawk GSC cards Further details are described here: http://parisc-linux.org/faq/graphics-howto.htmlSigned-off-by:

Alexey Dobriyan reported trouble with LTP with the new fast-gup code, and Johannes Weiner debugged it to non-page-aligned addresses, where the new get_user_pages_fast() code would do all the wrong things, including just traversing past the end of the requested area due to 'addr' never matching 'end' exactly. This is not a pretty fix, and we may actually want to move the alignment into generic code, leaving just the core code per-arch, but Alexey verified that the vmsplice01 LTP test doesn't crash with this.

lguest uses a Waker process to break it out of the kernel (ie. actually running the guest) when file descriptor needs attention. Changing this from a process to a thread somewhat simplifies things: it can directly access the fd_set of things to watch. More importantly, it means that the Waker can see Guest memory correctly, so /dev/vring file descriptors will work as anticipated (the alternative is to actually mmap MAP_SHARED, but you can't do that with /dev/zero).

Since the correct timeout value varies, use a heuristic which adjusts the timeout depending on how many packets we've seen.

virtio_ring has the ability to suppress notifications. This prevents a guest exit for every packet, but we need to set a timer on packet receipt to re-check if there were any remaining packets. Here are the times for 1G TCP Guest->Host with different timeout settings (it matters because the TCP window doesn't grow big enough to fill the entire buffer): Timeout value Seconds Xmit/Recv/Timeout None (before) 25.3784 xmit 7750233 recv 1 2500 usec 62.5119 xmit 207020 recv 2 timeout 207020 1000 usec 34.5379 xmit 207003 recv 2 timeout 207003 750 usec 29.2305 xmit 207002 recv 1 timeout 207002 500 usec 19.1887 xmit 561141 recv 1 timeout 559657 250 usec 20.0465 xmit 214128 recv 2 timeout 214110 100 usec 19.2583 xmit 561621 recv 1 timeout 560153 (Note that these values are sensitive to the GSO patches which come later, and probably other traffic-related variables, so take with a large grain of salt).

Mark McLoughlin authored
If you've got a nice DHCP configuration which maps MAC addresses to specific IP addresses, then you're going to want to start your guest with one of those MAC addresses. Also, in Fedora, we have persistent network interface naming based on the MAC address, so with randomly assigned addresses you're soon going to hit eth13. Who knows what will happen then! Allow assigning a MAC address to the network interface with e.g. --tunnet=bridge:eth0:00:FF:95:6B:DA:3D or: --tunnet=192.168.121.1:00:FF:95:6B:DA:3D which is pretty unintelligable, but ...

Ron Minnich noticed that guest userspace gets a GPF when it tries to int3: we need to copy the privilege level from the guest-supplied IDT to the real IDT. int3 is the only common case where guest userspace expects to invoke an interrupt, so that's the symptom of failing to do this.

With SLUB debugging turned on in 2.6.26, I was getting memory corruption when testing eCryptfs. The root cause turned out to be that eCryptfs was doing kmalloc(PAGE_CACHE_SIZE); virt_to_page() and treating that as a nice page-aligned chunk of memory. But at least with SLUB debugging on, this is not always true, and the page we get from virt_to_page does not necessarily match the PAGE_CACHE_SIZE worth of memory we got from kmalloc. My simple testcase was 2 loops doing "rm -f fileX; cp /tmp/fileX ." for 2 different multi-megabyte files. With this change I no longer see the corruption. Signed-off-by:

When we read some part of a file through pagecache, if there is a pagecache of corresponding index but this page is not uptodate, read IO is issued and this page will be uptodate. I think this is good for pagesize == blocksize environment but there is room for improvement on pagesize != blocksize environment. Because in this case a page can have multiple buffers and even if a page is not uptodate, some buffers can be uptodate. So I suggest that when all buffers which correspond to a part of a file that we want to read are uptodate, use this pagecache and copy data from this pagecache to user buffer even if a page is not uptodate. This can reduce read IO and improve system throughput. I wrote a benchmark program and got result number with this program. This benchmark do: 1: mount and open a test file. 2: create a 512MB file. 3: close a file and umount. 4: mount and again open a test file. 5: pwrite randomly 300000 times on a test file. offset is aligned by IO size(1024bytes). 6: measure time of preading randomly 100000 times on a test file. The result was: 2.6.26 330 sec 2.6.26-patched 226 sec Arch:i386 Filesystem:ext3 Blocksize:1024 bytes Memory: 1GB On ext3/4, a file is written through buffer/block. So random read/write mixed workloads or random read after random write workloads are optimized with this patch under pagesize != blocksize environment. This test result showed this. The benchmark program is as follows: #include <stdio.h> #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/stat.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <time.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <string.h> #include <sys/mount.h> #define LEN 1024 #define LOOP 1024*512 /* 512MB */ main(void) { unsigned long i, offset, filesize; int fd; char buf[LEN]; time_t t1, t2; if (mount("/dev/sda1", "/root/test1/", "ext3", 0, 0) < 0) { perror("cannot mount\n"); exit(1); } memset(buf, 0, LEN); fd = open("/root/test1/testfile", O_CREAT|O_RDWR|O_TRUNC); if (fd < 0) { perror("cannot open file\n"); exit(1); } for (i = 0; i < LOOP; i++) write(fd, buf, LEN); close(fd); if (umount("/root/test1/") < 0) { perror("cannot umount\n"); exit(1); } if (mount("/dev/sda1", "/root/test1/", "ext3", 0, 0) < 0) { perror("cannot mount\n"); exit(1); } fd = open("/root/test1/testfile", O_RDWR); if (fd < 0) { perror("cannot open file\n"); exit(1); } filesize = LEN * LOOP; for (i = 0; i < 300000; i++){ offset = (random() % filesize) & (~(LEN - 1)); pwrite(fd, buf, LEN, offset); } printf("start test\n"); time(&t1); for (i = 0; i < 100000; i++){ offset = (random() % filesize) & (~(LEN - 1)); pread(fd, buf, LEN, offset); } time(&t2); printf("%ld sec\n", t2-t1); close(fd); if (umount("/root/test1/") < 0) { perror("cannot umount\n"); exit(1); } } Signed-off-by:Hisashi Hifumi <hifumi.hisashi@oss.ntt.co.jp> Cc: Nick Piggin <nickpiggin@yahoo.com.au> Cc: Christoph Hellwig <hch@infradead.org> Cc: Jan Kara <jack@ucw.cz> Cc: <linux-ext4@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by:

The original "Pass the bus number we expect the S3C24XX SPI driver to attach to via the platform data." [1] patch was mis-sent, and missed two important parts of the diff, which was to actually set the bus_num field and add the relevant field to the platform data. The previous commit 50f426b5 promised to add a bus_num field, but failed to include the two hunks that added this field to include/asm-arm/arch-s3c2410/spi.h and then pass it to the spi core when creating the new master field in drivers/spi/spi_s3c24xx.c.
