hard_smp_processor_id used to be just a macro that hard-coded hard_smp_processor_id to 0 in the non SMP case. When booting non SMP kernels on hardware where the boot ioapic id is not 0 this turns out to be a problem. This is happens frequently in the case of kdump and once in a great while in the case of real hardware. Use the APIC to determine the hardware processor id in both UP and SMP kernels to fix this issue. Notice that hard_smp_processor_id is only used by SMP code or by code that works with apics so we do not need to handle the case when apics are not present and hard_smp_processor_id should never be called there.

With the advent of kdump, the assumption that the boot CPU when booting an UP kernel is always the CPU with a particular hardware ID (often 0) (usually referred to as BSP on some architectures) is not valid anymore. The reason being that the dump capture kernel boots on the crashed CPU (the CPU that invoked crash_kexec), which may be or may not be that particular CPU. Move definition of hard_smp_processor_id for the UP case to architecture-specific code ("asm/smp.h") where it belongs, so that each architecture can provide its own implementation. Signed-off-by: -

[ With Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> ] Separate the hibernation (aka suspend to disk code) from the other suspend code. In particular: * Remove the definitions related to hibernation from include/linux/pm.h * Introduce struct hibernation_ops and a new hibernate() function to hibernate the system, defined in include/linux/suspend.h * Separate suspend code in kernel/power/main.c from hibernation-related code in kernel/power/disk.c and kernel/power/user.c (with the help of hibernation_ops) * Switch ACPI (the only user of pm_ops.pm_disk_mode) to hibernation_ops Signed-off-by:

The internal hugetlb resv_huge_pages variable can permanently leak nonzero value in the error path of hugetlb page fault handler when hugetlb page is used in combination of cpuset. The leaked count can permanently trap N number of hugetlb pages in unusable "reserved" state. Steps to reproduce the bug: (1) create two cpuset, user1 and user2 (2) reserve 50 htlb pages in cpuset user1 (3) attempt to shmget/shmat 50 htlb page inside cpuset user2 (4) kernel oom the user process in step 3 (5) ipcrm the shm segment At this point resv_huge_pages will have a count of 49, even though there are no active hugetlbfs file nor hugetlb shared memory segment in the system. The leak is permanent and there is no recovery method other than system reboot. The leaked count will hold up all future use of that many htlb pages in all cpusets. The culprit is that the error path of alloc_huge_page() did not properly undo the change it made to resv_huge_page, causing inconsistent state. Signed-off-by:

This patch removes the possibility of having uninitialized log state if the log device has failed. When a mirror resumes operation, it calls 'resume' on the logging module. If disk based logging is being used, the log device is read to fill in the log state. If the log device has failed, we cannot simply return, because this would leave the in-memory log state uninitialized. Instead, we assume all regions are out-of-sync and reset the log state. Failure to do this could result in the logging code reporting a region as in-sync, even though it isn't; which could result in a corrupted mirror. Signed-off-by:

The call to rh_in_sync() in do_reads() should be allowed to block. It is in the mirror worker thread which already permits blocking operations. This will be needed to support clustered mirroring which will perform network operations. Signed-off-by:

Jonathan Brassow authored
With the code as it is, it is possible for oustanding clear region requests never to get flushed when a mirror is deactivated or suspended. This means there will always be some resync work required when a mirror is activated, even though it may very well be in-sync. Always requesting the flush doesn't hurt us. This is because the log tracks whether any changes occurred and, if not, no flush is performed. Signed-off-by:

This patch adds the ability to specify desired features in the mirror constructor/mapping table. The first feature of interest is "handle_errors". Currently, mirroring will ignore any I/O errors from the devices. Subsequent patches will check for this flag and handle the errors. If flag/feature is not present, mirror will do nothing - maintaining backwards compatibility. Signed-off-by:

Allocate smaller clones With the previous dm-crypt fixes, there is no need for the clone bios to have the same bvec size as the original - we just need to make them big enough for the remaining number of pages. The only requirement is that we clear the "out" index in convert_context, so that crypt_convert starts storing data at the right position within the clone bio. Signed-off-by:

Get rid of first_clone in dm-crypt This gets rid of first_clone, which is not really needed. Apparently, cloned bios used to share their bvec some time way in the past - this is no longer the case. Contrarily, this even hurts us if we try to create a clone off first_clone after it has completed, and crypt_endio has destroyed its bvec. Signed-off-by:

This patch replaces the single instance of kmirrord by one instance per mirror set. This change is required to avoid a deadlock in kmirrord when the persistent dirty log of a mirror itself resides on a mirror. The single instance of kmirrord then issues a sync write to the dirty log in write_bits which gets deferred to kmirrord itself later in the call chain. But kmirrord never does the deferred work because it is still waiting for the sync write_bits. _mirror_sets is removed as it no longer needed, and we always flush the workqueue before destroying it to ensure all work is complete before destroying it.
