This task is preparatory for the migrate_disable() implementation, but stands on its own and provides a cleanup. It currently only converts those sites required for task-placement. Kosaki-san once mentioned replacing cpus_allowed with a proper cpumask_t instead of the NR_CPUS sized array it currently is, that would also require something like this.

rq's idle_at_tick is set to idle/busy during the timer tick depending on the cpu was idle or not. This will be used later in the load balance that will be done in the softirq context (which is a process context in -RT kernels). For nohz kernels, for the cpu doing nohz idle load balance on behalf of all the idle cpu's, its rq->idle_at_tick might have a stale value (which is recorded when it got the timer tick presumably when it is busy). As the nohz idle load balancing is also being done at the same place as the regular load balancing, nohz idle load balancing was bailing out when it sees rq's idle_at_tick not set. Thus leading to poor system utilization. Rename rq's idle_at_tick to idle_balance and set it when someone requests for nohz idle balance on an idle cpu.

Current use of smp call function to kick the nohz idle balance can deadlock in this scenario. 1. cpu-A did a generic_exec_single() to cpu-B and after queuing its call single data (csd) to the call single queue, cpu-A took a timer interrupt. Actual IPI to cpu-B to process the call single queue is not yet sent. 2. As part of the timer interrupt handler, cpu-A decided to kick cpu-B for the idle load balancing (sets cpu-B's rq->nohz_balance_kick to 1) and __smp_call_function_single() with nowait will queue the csd to the cpu-B's queue. But the generic_exec_single() won't send an IPI to cpu-B as the call single queue was not empty. 3. cpu-A is busy with lot of interrupts 4. Meanwhile cpu-B is entering and exiting idle and noticed that it has it's rq->nohz_balance_kick set to '1'. So it will go ahead and do the idle load balancer and clear its rq->nohz_balance_kick. 5. At this point, csd queued as part of the step-2 above is still locked and waiting to be serviced on cpu-B. 6. cpu-A is still busy with interrupt load and now it got another timer interrupt and as part of it decided to kick cpu-B for another idle load balancing (as it finds cpu-B's rq->nohz_balance_kick cleared in step-4 above) and does __smp_call_function_single() with the same csd that is still locked. 7. And we get a deadlock waiting for the csd_lock() in the __smp_call_function_single(). Main issue here is that cpu-B can service the idle load balancer kick request from cpu-A even with out receiving the IPI and this lead to doing multiple __smp_call_function_single() on the same csd leading to deadlock. To kick a cpu, scheduler already has the reschedule vector reserved. Use that mechanism (kick_process()) instead of using the generic smp call function mechanism to kick off the nohz idle load balancing and avoid the deadlock. [ This issue is present from 2.6.35+ kernels, but marking it -stable only from v3.0+ as the proposed fix depends on the scheduler_ipi() that is introduced recently. ] Reported-by: Prarit Bhargava <prarit@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Suresh Siddha <suresh.b.siddha@intel.com> Cc: stable@kernel.org # v3.0+ Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20111003220934.834943260@sbsiddha-desk.sc.intel.comSigned-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Add the ability to disable PCI-E MPS turning and using the BIOS configured MPS defaults. Due to the number of issues recently discovered on some x86 chipsets, make this the default behavior. Also, add the option for peer to peer DMA MPS configuration. Peer to peer DMA is outside the scope of this patch, but MPS configuration could prevent it from working by having the MPS on one root port different than the MPS on another. To work around this, simply make the system wide MPS the smallest possible value (128B).

Most asics just use the hw default value which requires no explicit programming. For those that need a different value, the vbios will program it properly. As such, there's no need to program these registers explicitly in the driver. Changing MC_SHARED_CHREMAP requires a reload of all data in vram otherwise its contents will be scambled.

On -rt we observed hackbench waking all 400 tasks to a single cpu. This is because of select_idle_sibling()'s interaction with the new ipi based wakeup scheme. The existing idle_cpu() test only checks to see if the current task on that cpu is the idle task, it does not take already queued tasks into account, nor does it take queued to be woken tasks into account. If the remote wakeup IPIs come hard enough, there won't be time to schedule away from the idle task, and would thus keep thinking the cpu was in fact idle, regardless of the fact that there were already several hundred tasks runnable. We couldn't reproduce on mainline, but there's no reason it couldn't happen.

(!) cpu_relax() stalls the pipeline, therefore, when used in a tight loop it has the following benefits: - allows SMT siblings to have a go; - reduces pressure on the CPU interconnect. However, cmpxchg loops are unfair and thus have unbounded completion time, therefore we should avoid getting in such heavily contended situations where the above benefits make any difference. A typical cmpxchg loop should not go round more than a handfull of times at worst, therefore adding extra delays just slows things down. Since the llist primitives are new, there aren't any bad users yet, and we should avoid growing them. Heavily contended sites should generally be better off using the ticket locks for serialization since they provide bounded completion times (fifo-fair over the cpus).

If in llist_add()/etc. functions the first cmpxchg() call succeeds, it is not necessary to use cpu_relax() before the cmpxchg(). So cpu_relax() in a busy loop involving cmpxchg() should go after cmpxchg() instead of before that. This patch fixes this for all involved llist functions.

Simon Kirby reported that on his RAID setup with idedisk underneath the box OOMs after a couple of days of runtime. Running with CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK pointed to idedisk_prep_fn() which unconditionally allocates an ide_cmd struct. However, ide_requeue_and_plug() can be called more than once per request, either from the request issue or the IRQ handler path and do blk_peek_request() ends up in idedisk_prep_fn() repeatedly, allocating a struct ide_cmd everytime and "forgetting" the previous pointer. Make sure the code reuses the old allocated chunk.

This is a minor change. Up until kernel 2.6.32, getsockopt(fd, SOL_PACKET, PACKET_STATISTICS, ...) would return total and dropped packets since its last invocation. The introduction of socket queue overflow reporting [1] changed drop rate calculation in the normal packet socket path, but not when using a packet ring. As a result, the getsockopt now returns different statistics depending on the reception method used. With a ring, it still returns the count since the last call, as counts are incremented in tpacket_rcv and reset in getsockopt. Without a ring, it returns 0 if no drops occurred since the last getsockopt and the total drops over the lifespan of the socket otherwise. The culprit is this line in packet_rcv, executed on a drop: drop_n_acct: po->stats.tp_drops = atomic_inc_return(&sk->sk_drops); As it shows, the new drop number it taken from the socket drop counter, which is not reset at getsockopt. I put together a small example that demonstrates the issue [2]. It runs for 10 seconds and overflows the queue/ring on every odd second. The reported drop rates are: ring: 16, 0, 16, 0, 16, ... non-ring: 0, 15, 0, 30, 0, 46, 0, 60, 0 , 74. Note how the even ring counts monotonically increase. Because the getsockopt adds tp_drops to tp_packets, total counts are similarly reported cumulatively. Long story short, reinstating the original code, as the below patch does, fixes the issue at the cost of additional per-packet cycles. Another solution that does not introduce per-packet overhead is be to keep the current data path, record the value of sk_drops at getsockopt() at call N in a new field in struct packetsock and subtract that when reporting at call N+1. I'll be happy to code that, instead, it's just more messy.

If a VM is saved and restored (or migrated) the netback driver will no longer process any Tx packets from the frontend. xenvif_up() does not schedule the processing of any pending Tx requests from the front end because the carrier is off. Without this initial kick the frontend just adds Tx requests to the ring without raising an event (until the ring is full). This was caused by 47103041 (net: xen-netback: convert to hw_features) which reordered the calls to xenvif_up() and netif_carrier_on() in xenvif_connect().

During a test where a pair of bonding interfaces using ARP monitoring were both brought up and torn down (with an rmmod) repeatedly, a panic in the timer code was noticed. I tracked this down and determined that any of the bonding functions that ran as workqueue handlers and requeued more work might not properly exit when the module was removed. There was a flag protected by the bond lock called kill_timers that is set when the interface goes down or the module is removed, but many of the functions that monitor link status now unlock the bond lock to take rtnl first. There is a chance that another CPU running the rmmod could get the lock and set kill_timers after the first check has passed. This patch does not allow any function to queue work that will make itself run unless kill_timers is not set. I also noticed while doing this work that bond_resend_igmp_join_requests did not have a check for kill_timers, so I added the needed call there as well.
