      clocksource: h8300_timer8: Don't reset rate in ->set_state_oneshot() · a17e0178
      Nicolai Stange authored
      With the upcoming NTP correction related rate adjustments to be implemented
      in the clockevents core, the latter needs to get informed about every rate
      change of a clockevent device made after its registration.
      
      Currently, h8300_timer8 violates this requirement in that it registers its
      clockevent device with the correct rate, but resets its ->mult and ->rate
      values in timer8_clock_event_start(), called from its ->set_state_oneshot()
      function.
      
      It seems like
        commit 4633f4ca ("clocksource/drivers/h8300: Cleanup startup and
                              remove module code."),
      which introduced the rate initialization at registration, missed to remove
      the manual setting of ->mult and ->shift from timer8_clock_event_start().
      
      Purge the setting of ->mult, ->shift, ->min_delta_ns and ->max_delta_ns
      from timer8_clock_event_start().

      clocksource: em_sti: Compute rate before registration · 4e53aa2f

      With the upcoming NTP correction related rate adjustments to be implemented
      in the clockevents core, the latter needs to get informed about every rate
      change of a clockevent device made after its registration.
      
      Currently, em_sti violates this requirement in that it registers its
      clockevent device with a dummy rate and sets its final rate through
      clockevents_config() called from its ->set_state_oneshot().
      
      This patch moves the setting of the clockevent device's rate to its
      registration.
      
      I checked all current em_sti users in arch/arm/mach-shmobile and right now,
      none of them changes any rate in any clock tree relevant to em_sti after
      their respective time_init(). Since all em_sti instances are created after
      time_init(), none of them should ever observe any clock rate changes.
      
      - Determine the ->rate value in em_sti_probe() at device probing rather
        than at first usage.
      - Set the clockevent device's rate at its registration.
      - Although not strictly necessary for the upcoming clockevent core changes,
        set the clocksource's rate at its registration for consistency.

      clocksource: em_sti: Split clock prepare and enable steps · 3814ae09
      Nicolai Stange authored
      Currently, the em_sti driver prepares and enables the needed clock in
      em_sti_enable(), potentially called through its clockevent device's
      ->set_state_oneshot().
      
      However, the clk_prepare() step may sleep whereas tick_program_event() and
      thus, ->set_state_oneshot(), can be called in atomic context.
      
      Split the clk_prepare_enable() in em_sti_enable() into two steps:
      - prepare the clock at device probing via clk_prepare()
      - and enable it in em_sti_enable() via clk_enable().
      Slightly reorder resource initialization in em_sti_probe() in order to
      facilitate error handling in later patches.

      Note that there has been some back and forth regarding this question with
      respect to the clocksource also provided by this driver:
        commit 66f49121 ("clocksource: sh_tmu: compute mult and shift before
                              registration")
      moves the rate determination from the clocksource's ->enable() function to
      before its registration. OTOH, the later
        commit 0aeac458 ("clocksource: sh_tmu: __clocksource_updatefreq_hz()
                              update")

      What's more, both, a clocksource as well as a clockevent device, can
      immediately get selected for use at their registration and thus, enabled
      at this point already. So it's probably safer to assume a "never changing
      clock rate" here.
      
      - Move the struct sh_tmu_channel's ->rate member to struct sh_tmu_device:
        it's a property of the underlying clock which is in turn specific to
        the sh_tmu_device.
      - Determine the ->rate value in sh_tmu_setup() at device probing rather
        than at first usage.
      - Set the clockevent device's rate at its registration.

      mm/swap: don't BUG_ON() due to uninitialized swap slot cache · 452b94b8
      Linus Torvalds authored
      This BUG_ON() triggered for me once at shutdown, and I don't see a
      reason for the check.  The code correctly checks whether the swap slot
      cache is usable or not, so an uninitialized swap slot cache is not
      actually problematic afaik.
      
      I've temporarily just switched the BUG_ON() to a WARN_ON_ONCE(), since
      I'm not sure why that seemingly pointless check was there.  I suspect
      the real fix is to just remove it entirely, but for now we'll warn about
      it but not bring the machine down.

      tcmu: Convert cmd_time_out into backend device attribute · 7d7a7435
      Nicholas Bellinger authored
      Instead of putting cmd_time_out under ../target/core/user_0/foo/control,
      which has historically been used by parameters needed for initial
      backend device configuration, go ahead and move cmd_time_out into
      a backend device attribute.
      
      In order to do this, tcmu_module_init() has been updated to create
      a local struct configfs_attribute **tcmu_attrs, that is based upon
      the existing passthrough_attrib_attrs along with the new cmd_time_out
      attribute.  Once **tcm_attrs has been setup, go ahead and point
      it at tcmu_ops->tb_dev_attrib_attrs so it's picked up by target-core.
      
      Also following MNC's previous change, ->cmd_time_out is stored in
      milliseconds but exposed via configfs in seconds.  Also, note this
      patch restricts the modification of ->cmd_time_out to before +
      after the TCMU device has been configured, but not while it has
      active fabric exports.

      target: fix race during implicit transition work flushes · 760bf578
      Mike Christie authored
      This fixes the following races:
      
      1. core_alua_do_transition_tg_pt could have read
      tg_pt_gp_alua_access_state and gone into this if chunk:
      
      if (!explicit &&
              atomic_read(&tg_pt_gp->tg_pt_gp_alua_access_state) ==
                 ALUA_ACCESS_STATE_TRANSITION) {
      
      and then core_alua_do_transition_tg_pt_work could update the
      state. core_alua_do_transition_tg_pt would then only set
      tg_pt_gp_alua_pending_state and the tg_pt_gp_alua_access_state would
      not get updated with the second calls state.
      
      2. core_alua_do_transition_tg_pt could be setting
      tg_pt_gp_transition_complete while the tg_pt_gp_transition_work
      is already completing. core_alua_do_transition_tg_pt then waits on the
      completion that will never be called.
      
      To handle these issues, we just call flush_work which will return when
      core_alua_do_transition_tg_pt_work has completed so there is no need
      to do the complete/wait. And, if core_alua_do_transition_tg_pt_work
      was running, instead of trying to sneak in the state change, we just
      schedule up another core_alua_do_transition_tg_pt_work call.
      
      Note that this does not handle a possible race where there are multiple
      threads call core_alua_do_transition_tg_pt at the same time. I think
      we need a mutex in target_tg_pt_gp_alua_access_state_store.

      target: Use system workqueue for ALUA transitions · 207ee841
      Mike Christie authored
      If tcmu-runner is processing a STPG and needs to change the kernel's
      ALUA state then we cannot use the same work queue for task management
      requests and ALUA transitions, because we could deadlock. The problem
      occurs when a STPG times out before tcmu-runner is able to
      call into target_tg_pt_gp_alua_access_state_store->
      core_alua_do_port_transition -> core_alua_do_transition_tg_pt ->
      queue_work. In this case, the tmr is on the work queue waiting for
      the STPG to complete, but the STPG transition is now queued behind
      the waiting tmr.
      
      Note:
      This bug will also be fixed by this patch:
      http://www.spinics.net/lists/target-devel/msg14560.html
      which switches the tmr code to use the system workqueues.
      
      For both, I am not sure if we need a dedicated workqueue since
      it is not a performance path and I do not think we need WQ_MEM_RECLAIM
      to make forward progress to free up memory like the block layer does.

      target: fail ALUA transitions for pscsi · 0a414572
      Mike Christie authored
      We do not setup the LU group for pscsi devices, so if you write
      a state to alua_access_state that will cause a transition you will
      get a NULL pointer dereference.
      
      This patch will fail attempts to try and transition the path
      for backend devices that set the TRANSPORT_FLAG_PASSTHROUGH_ALUA
      flag.

      target: allow ALUA setup for some passthrough backends · 530c6891
      Mike Christie authored
      This patch allows passthrough backends to use the core/base LIO
      ALUA setup and state checks, but still handle the execution of
      commands.
      
      This will allow the target_core_user module to execute STPG and RTPG
      in userspace, and not have to duplicate the ALUA state checks, path
      information (needed so we can check if command is executable on
      specific paths) and setup (rtslib sets/updates the configfs ALUA
      interface like it does for iblock or file).
      
      For STPG, the target_core_user userspace daemon, tcmu-runner will
      still execute the STPG, and to update the core/base LIO state it
      will use the existing configfs interface. For RTPG, tcmu-runner
      will loop over configfs and/or cache the state.

      tcmu: return on first Opt parse failure · 2579325c
      Mike Christie authored
      We only were returing failure if the last opt to be parsed failed.
      This has a return failure when we first detect a failure.

      tcmu: allow hw_max_sectors greater than 128 · 3abaa2bf
      Mike Christie authored
      tcmu hard codes the hw_max_sectors to 128 which is a litle small.
      Userspace uses the max_sectors to report the optimal IO size and
      some initiators perform better with larger IOs (open-iscsi seems
      to do better with 256 to 512 depending on the test).
      
      (Fix do not display hw max sectors twice - MNC)

      target: Drop pointless tfo->check_stop_free check · 9c28ca4f
      Nicholas Bellinger authored
      All in-tree fabric drivers provide a tfo->check_stop_free(),
      so there is no need to do the extra check within existing
      transport_cmd_check_stop_to_fabric() code.
      
      Just to be sure, add a check in target_fabric_tf_ops_check()
      to notify any out-of-tree drivers that might be missing it.

      parisc: Fix system shutdown halt · 73580dac
      Helge Deller authored
      On those parisc machines which don't provide a software power off
      function, the system currently kills the init process at the end of a
      shutdown and unexpectedly restarts insteads of halting.
      Fix it by adding a loop which will not return.
