Doing some raid testing threw a bug in the scsi mid layer, because the segment counts wasn't correct. Initially I worried that we still had problems in this area, but it turns out that is due to the raid usage of bio clones. Currently you have to hold on to the original bio as well, since the clone only maintains a pointer to the bio_vec inside the original bio. If the original bio is freed first, the clone will have garbage in its bio->bi_io_vec as soon as that memory is scribbled. I think the best fix is to maintain flexibility and duplicate the io_vec inside the clone as well. Attached patch does this.

do_tcp_sendpages() needs to do skb->truesize et al. accounting just like tcp_sendmsg() does. tcp_sendmsg() works by gradually adjusting these accounting knobs as user data is copied into the packet. do_tcp_sendpages() works differently, when it allocates a new SKB it optimistically adds in tp->mss_cache to these values and then makes no adjustments at all as pages are tacked onto the packet. This does not work at all if tcp_sendmsg() queues a packet onto the send queue, and then do_tcp_sendpages() attaches pages onto the end of that SKB. We are left with a very inaccurate skb->truesize in that case. Consequently, if we were building a TSO frame and it gets partially ACK'd, then since skb->truesize is too small tcp_trim_skb() will potentially underflow it's value and all the accounting becomes corrupted. This is usually seen as sk->sk_forward_alloc being negative at socket destroy time, which triggers an assertion check. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

This patch fixes a problem I have been seeing since all the preempt changes went in, which is that ppc64 SMP systems would livelock randomly if preempt was enabled. It turns out that what was happening was that one cpu was spinning in spin_lock_irq (the version at line 215 of kernel/spinlock.c) madly doing preempt_enable() and preempt_disable() calls. The other cpu had the lock and was trying to set the TIF_NEED_RESCHED flag for the task running on the first cpu. That is an atomic operation which has to be retried if another cpu writes to the same cacheline between the load and the store, which the other cpu was doing every time it did preempt_enable() or preempt_disable(). I decided to move the thread_info flags field into the next cache line, since it is the only field that would regularly be modified by cpus other than the one running the task that owns the thread_info. (OK possibly the `cpu' field would be on a rebalance; I don't know the rebalancing code, but that should be pretty infrequent.) Thus, moving the flags field seems like a good idea generally as well as solving the immediate problem. For the record I am pretty unhappy with the code we use for spin_lock et al. with preemption turned on (the BUILD_LOCK_OPS stuff in spinlock.c). For a start we do the atomic op (_raw_spin_trylock) each time around the loop. That is going to be generating a lot of unnecessary bus (or fabric) traffic. Instead, after we fail to get the lock we should poll it with simple loads until we see that it is clear and then retry the atomic op. Assuming a reasonable cache design, the loads won't generate any bus traffic until another cpu writes to the cacheline containing the lock. Secondly we have lost the __spin_yield call that we had on ppc64, which is an important optimization when we are running under the hypervisor. I can't just put that in cpu_relax because I need to know which (virtual) cpu is holding the lock, so that I can tell the hypervisor which virtual cpu to give my time slice to. That information is stored in the lock variable, which is why __spin_yield needs the address of the lock.

This patch enables the DEBUG_PREEMPT config option for PPC64. I have this turned on on my desktop G5 and it isn't finding any problems. (It did find one problem, in flush_tlb_pending(), that I have just sent a patch for.) BTW, do we really need to restrict which architectures the config option is available on?

This patch mirrors the recent changes on x86 to call preempt_schedule rather than schedule in the exception exit path, in the case where the preempt_count is zero and the TIF_NEED_RESCHED bit is set. I'm a little concerned that this means that we have a window where interrupts are enabled and we are on our way into preempt_schedule, but preempt_count is still zero. Ingo's proposed preempt_schedule_irq would fix this, and I think something like that should go in. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

The preempt debug stuff found a place where we were using smp_processor_id() without having preemption disabled, in flush_tlb_pending.

I stumbled across this the other day. The block layer only uses a single memory pool for request allocation, so it's very possible for eg writes to have allocated them all at any point in time. If that is the case and the machine is low on memory, a reader attempting to allocate a request and failing in blk_alloc_request() can get stuck for a long time since no one is there to wake it up. The solution is either to add the extra mempool so both reads and writes have one, or attempt to handle the situation. I chose the latter, to save the extra memory required for the additional mempool with BLKDEV_MIN_RQ statically allocated requests per-queue. If a read allocation fails and we have no readers in flight for this queue, mark us rq-starved so that the next write being freed will wake up the sleeping reader(s). Same situation would happen for writes as well of course, it's just a lot more unlikely. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
