Update the extent tree in case we have to reuse a busy extent, so that it always is kept uptodate. This is done by replacing the busy list searches with a new xfs_alloc_busy_reuse helper, which updates the busy extent tree in case of a reuse. This allows us to allow reusing metadata extents unconditionally, and thus avoid log forces especially for allocation btree blocks.

Every time we reallocate a busy extent, we cause a synchronous log force to occur to ensure the freeing transaction is on disk before we continue and use the newly allocated extent. This is extremely sub-optimal as we have to mark every transaction with blocks that get reused as synchronous. Instead of searching the busy extent list after deciding on the extent to allocate, check each candidate extent during the allocation decisions as to whether they are in the busy list. If they are in the busy list, we trim the busy range out of the extent we have found and determine if that trimmed range is still OK for allocation. In many cases, this check can be incorporated into the allocation extent alignment code which already does trimming of the found extent before determining if it is a valid candidate for allocation. Based on earlier patches from Dave Chinner. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Alex Elder <aelder@sgi.com>

While we need to make sure we do not reuse busy extents, there is no need to force out busy extents when moving them between the AGFL and the freespace btree as we still take care of that when doing the real allocation. To avoid the log force when just moving extents from the different free space tracking structures, move the busy search out of xfs_alloc_get_freelist into the callers that need it, and move the busy list insert from xfs_free_ag_extent which is used both by AGFL refills and real allocation to xfs_free_extent, which is only used by the latter.

Commit 957935dc ("xfs: fix xfs_debug warnings" broke the logic in __xfs_printk(). Instead of only printing one of two possible output strings based on whether the fs has a name or not, it outputs both. Fix it to only output one message again.

Rather than pass in some random truncated offset to the pid-related functions, check that the offset is in range up-front. This is just cleanup, the previous commit fixed the real problem. Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

next_pidmap() just quietly accepted whatever 'last' pid that was passed in, which is not all that safe when one of the users is /proc. Admittedly the proc code should do some sanity checking on the range (and that will be the next commit), but that doesn't mean that the helper functions should just do that pidmap pointer arithmetic without checking the range of its arguments. So clamp 'last' to PID_MAX_LIMIT. The fact that we then do "last+1" doesn't really matter, the for-loop does check against the end of the pidmap array properly (it's only the actual pointer arithmetic overflow case we need to worry about, and going one bit beyond isn't going to overflow).

Mouse gets "stuck" after restore of PV guest but buttons are in working condition. If driver has been configured for ABS coordinates at start it will get XENKBD_TYPE_POS events and then suddenly after restore it'll start getting XENKBD_TYPE_MOTION events, that will be dropped later and they won't get into user-space. Regression was introduced by hunk 5 and 6 of 5ea5254a ("Input: xen-kbdfront - advertise either absolute or relative coordinates"). Driver on restore should ask xen for request-abs-pointer again if it is available. So restore parts that did it before 5ea5254a.

Instead of overloading __blk_run_queue to force an offload to kblockd add a new blk_run_queue_async helper to do it explicitly. I've kept the blk_queue_stopped check for now, but I suspect it's not needed as the check we do when the workqueue items runs should be enough.

We just need to make sure that an unplug event wakes up the md thread, which is exactly what mddev_check_plugged does. Also remove some plug-related code that is no longer needed. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

In raid5 plugging is used for 2 things: 1/ collecting writes that require a bitmap update 2/ collecting writes in the hope that we can create full stripes - or at least more-full. We now release these different sets of stripes when plug_cnt is zero. Also in make_request, we call mddev_check_plug to hopefully increase plug_cnt, and wake up the thread at the end if plugging wasn't achieved for some reason. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

When an md device adds a request to a queue, it can call mddev_check_plugged. If this succeeds then we know that the md thread will be woken up shortly, and ->plug_cnt will be non-zero until then, so some processing can be delayed. If it fails, then no unplug callback is expected and the make_request function needs to do whatever is required to make the request happen. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

md has some plugging infrastructure for RAID5 to use because the normal plugging infrastructure required a 'request_queue', and when called from dm, RAID5 doesn't have one of those available. This relied on the ->unplug_fn callback which doesn't exist any more. So remove all of that code, both in md and raid5. Subsequent patches with restore the plugging functionality.

If we know we are going to punt to kblockd, we can drop the queue lock before calling into __blk_run_queue() since it only does a safe bit test and a workqueue call. Since kblockd needs to grab this very lock as one of the first things it does, it's a good optimization to drop the lock before waking kblockd. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jaxboe@fusionio.com>

Eric B Munson authored
Because of speculative event roll back, it is possible for some event coutners to decrease between reads on POWER7. This causes a problem with the way that counters are updated. Delta calues are calculated in a 64 bit value and the top 32 bits are masked. If the register value has decreased, this leaves us with a very large positive value added to the kernel counters. This patch protects against this by skipping the update if the delta would be negative. This can lead to a lack of precision in the coutner values, but from my testing the value is typcially fewer than 10 samples at a time.

PAPR specifies that DTL buffers can not cross AMS environments (aka CMO in the PAPR) and can not cross a memory entitlement granule boundary (4k). This is found in section 14.11.3.2 H_REGISTER_VPA of the PAPR. kmalloc does not guarantee an alignment of the allocation, though, beyond 8 bytes (at least in my understanding). Create a special kmem cache for DTL buffers with the alignment requirement. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
