Linus Torvalds authored
In commit 070ad7e7 ("floppy: convert to delayed work and single-thread wq") the 'fd_timeout' timer was converted to a delayed work. However, the "del_timer(&fd_timeout)" was lost in the process, and any previous pending timeouts would stay active when we then re-queued the timeout. This resulted in the floppy probe sequence having a (stale) 20s timeout rather than the intended 3s timeout, and thus made booting with the floppy driver (but no actual floppy controller) take much longer than it should. Of course, there's little reason for most people to compile the floppy driver into the kernel at all, which is why most people never noticed. Canceling the delayed work where we used to do the del_timer() fixes the issue, and makes the floppy probing use the proper new timeout instead. The three second timeout is still very wasteful, but better than the 20s one.

Userland sometimes sees a corrupt metadata block if metadata is changing rapidly when a metadata snapshot is reserved for userland, To make the problem go away, commit before we take the metadata snapshot (which is a sensible thing to do anyway). The checksums mean userland spots this corruption immediately so there's no risk of acting on incorrect data. No corruption exists from the kernel's point of view, and thin_check passes after pool shutdown. I believe this is to do with shared blocks at the first level of the {device, mapping} btree. Prior to the metadata-snap support no sharing at this level was possible, so this patch is only required after commit cc8394d8 ("dm thin: provide userspace access to pool metadata").

Especially vesafb likes to map everything as uc- (yikes), and if that mapping hangs around still while we try to map the gtt as wc the kernel will downgrade our request to uc-, resulting in abyssal performance. Unfortunately we can't do this as early as readon does (i.e. as the first thing we do when initializing the hw) because our fb/mmio space region moves around on a per-gen basis. So I've had to move it below the gtt initialization, but that seems to work, too. The important thing is that we do this before we set up the gtt wc mapping. Now an altogether different question is why people compile their kernels with vesafb enabled, but I guess making things just work isn't bad per se ... v2: - s/radeondrmfb/inteldrmfb/ - fix up error handling v3: Kill #ifdef X86, this is Intel after all. Noticed by Ben Widawsky. v4: Jani Nikula complained about the pointless bool primary initialization. v5: Don't oops if we can't allocate, noticed by Chris Wilson. v6: Resolve conflicts with agp rework and fixup whitespace. This is commit e188719a in drm-next. Backport to 3.5 -fixes queue requested by Dave Airlie - due to grub using vesa on fedora their initrd seems to load vesafb before loading the real kms driver. So tons more people actually experience a dead-slow gpu. Hence also the Cc: stable.

When a monitor EDID doesn't give the preferred bit, driver assumes that the mode with the higest resolution and rate is the preferred mode. Meanwhile the recent changes for allowing more modes in the GFT/CVT ranges give actually more modes, and some modes may be over the native size. Thus such a mode would be picked up as the preferred mode although it's no native resolution. For avoiding such a problem, this patch limits the addition of inferred modes by checking not to be greater than other modes. Also, it checks the duplicated mode entry at the same time.

The value returned by "mddev_check_plug" is only valid until the next 'schedule' as that will unplug things. This could happen at any call to mempool_alloc. So just calling mddev_check_plug at the start doesn't really make sense. So call it just before, or just after, queuing things for the thread. As the action that happens at unplug is to wake the thread, this makes lots of sense. If we cannot add a plug (which requires a small GFP_ATOMIC alloc) we wake thread immediately. RAID5 is a bit different. Requests are queued for the thread and the thread is woken by release_stripe. So we don't need to wake the thread on failure. However the thread doesn't perform certain actions when there is any active plug, so it is important to install a plug before waking the thread. So for RAID5 we install the plug *before* queuing the request and waking the thread. Without this patch it is possible for raid1 or raid10 to queue a request without then waking the thread, resulting in the array locking up. Also change raid10 to only flush_pending_write when there are not active plugs, just like raid1. This patch is suitable for 3.0 or later. I plan to submit it to -stable, but I'll like to let it spend a few weeks in mainline first to be sure it is completely safe. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

We currently only allow a device to be re-added if it appear to be in-sync. This is overly restrictive as it may be desirable to re-add a device that is in the middle of recovery. So remove the test for "InSync" - the test on rdev->raid_disk is sufficient to ensure that the re-add will succeed.

When we added hot_replace we doubled the number of devices that could be in a RAID1 array. So we doubled how far read_balance would search. Unfortunately we didn't double the point at which it looped back to the beginning - so it effectively loops over all non-replacement disks twice. This doesn't cause bad behaviour, but it pointless and means we never read from replacement devices. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

If a RAID10 has an odd number of chunks - as might happen when there are an odd number of devices - the last chunk has no pair and so is not mirrored. We don't store data there, but when recovering the last device in an array we retry to recover that last chunk from a non-existent location. This results in an error, and the recovery aborts. When we get to that last chunk we should just stop - there is nothing more to do anyway. This bug has been present since the introduction of RAID10, so the patch is appropriate for any -stable kernel.

We have a bug report where the kernel hits a warning in the cpumask code: WARNING: at include/linux/cpumask.h:107 Which is: WARN_ON_ONCE(cpu >= nr_cpumask_bits); The backtrace is: cpu_cmd cmds xmon_core xmon die xmon is iterating through 0 to NR_CPUS. I'm not sure why we are still open coding this but iterating above nr_cpu_ids is definitely a bug. This patch iterates through all possible cpus, in case we issue a system reset and CPUs in an offline state call in. Perhaps the old code was trying to handle CPUs that were in the partition but were never started (eg kexec into a kernel with an nr_cpus= boot option). They are going to die way before we get into xmon since we haven't set any kernel state up for them.

On ARM with the 2-level page table format, a PMD entry is represented by two consecutive section entries covering 2MB of virtual space. However, static mappings always were allowed to use separate 1MB section entries. This means in practice that a static mapping may create half populated PMDs via create_mapping(). Since commit 0536bdf3 (ARM: move iotable mappings within the vmalloc region) those static mappings are located in the vmalloc area. We must ensure no such half populated PMDs are accessible once vmalloc() or ioremap() start looking at the vmalloc area for nearby free virtual address ranges, or various things leading to a kernel crash will happen.

Currently only used when packet split mode is enabled with jumbo frames, IP payload checksum (for fragmented UDP packets) is mutually exclusive with receive hashing offload since the hardware uses the same space in the receive descriptor for the hardware-provided packet checksum and the RSS hash, respectively. Users currently must disable jumbos when receive hashing offload is enabled, or vice versa, because of this incompatibility. Since testing has shown that IP payload checksum does not provide any real benefit, just remove it so that there is no longer a choice between jumbos or receive hashing offload but not both as done in other Intel GbE drivers (e.g. e1000, igb). Also, add a missing check for IP checksum error reported by the hardware; let the stack verify the checksum when this happens.

It was noticed recently that when we send data on a transport, its possible that we might bundle a sack that arrived on a different transport. While this isn't a major problem, it does go against the SHOULD requirement in section 6.4 of RFC 2960: An endpoint SHOULD transmit reply chunks (e.g., SACK, HEARTBEAT ACK, etc.) to the same destination transport address from which it received the DATA or control chunk to which it is replying. This rule should also be followed if the endpoint is bundling DATA chunks together with the reply chunk. This patch seeks to correct that. It restricts the bundling of sack operations to only those transports which have moved the ctsn of the association forward since the last sack. By doing this we guarantee that we only bundle outbound saks on a transport that has received a chunk since the last sack. This brings us into stricter compliance with the RFC. Vlad had initially suggested that we strictly allow only sack bundling on the transport that last moved the ctsn forward. While this makes sense, I was concerned that doing so prevented us from bundling in the case where we had received chunks that moved the ctsn on multiple transports. In those cases, the RFC allows us to select any of the transports having received chunks to bundle the sack on. so I've modified the approach to allow for that, by adding a state variable to each transport that tracks weather it has moved the ctsn since the last sack. This I think keeps our behavior (and performance), close enough to our current profile that I think we can do this without a sysctl knob to enable/disable it.
