      GFS2: Wake up io waiters whenever a flush is done · b63f5e84
      Bob Peterson authored
      Before this patch, if a process called function gfs2_log_reserve to
      reserve some journal blocks, but the journal not enough blocks were
      free, it would call io_schedule. However, in the log flush daemon,
      it woke up the waiters only if an gfs2_ail_flush was no longer
      required. This resulted in situations where processes would wait
      forever because the number of blocks required was so high that it
      pushed the journal into a perpetual state of flush being required.
      
      This patch changes the logd daemon so that it wakes up io waiters
      every time the log is actually flushed.

      GFS2: Made logd daemon take into account log demand · f07b3520
      Bob Peterson authored
      Before this patch, the logd daemon only tried to flush things when
      the log blocks pinned exceeded a certain threshold. But when we're
      deleting very large files, it may require a huge number of journal
      blocks, and that, in turn, may exceed the threshold. This patch
      factors that into account.

      GFS2: Limit number of transaction blocks requested for truncates · 2fcf5cc3
      Bob Peterson authored
      This patch limits the number of transaction blocks requested during
      file truncates. If we have very large multi-terabyte files, and want
      to delete or truncate them, they might span so many resource groups
      that we overflow the journal blocks, and cause an assert failure.
      By limiting the number of blocks in the transaction, we prevent this
      overflow and give other running processes time to do transactions.
      
      The limiting factor I chose is sd_log_thresh2 which is currently
      set to 4/5ths of the journal. This same ratio is used in function
      gfs2_ail_flush_reqd to determine when a log flush is required.
      If we make the maximum value less than this, we can get into a
      infinite hang whereby the log stops moving because the number of
      used blocks is less than the threshold and the iterative loop
      needs more, but since we're under the threshold, the log daemon
      never starts any IO on the log.

        I've started a couple of new books: a driver API book (based on the

        to show how we can integrate together our existing documentation into
        a more coherent and accessible whole. It involves moving some stuff
        around and formatting changes, but, I think, the results are worth it.
        The good news is that most of our existing Documentation/*.txt files
        are *almost* in RST format already; the amount of messing around

      Pull clk framework updates from Stephen Boyd:
       "The core clk framework changes are small again. They're mostly minor
        fixes that weren't causing enough problems (or any problems when we're
        just clarifying things) to warrant sending outside the merge window.
        The majority of changes are in drivers for various SoCs. Full details
        are in the logs, but here's the summary.
      
        Core:
      
         - Better support for DeviceTree overlays with the addition of the
           CLK_OF_DECLARE_DRIVER macro. Now we won't probe a clk driver for a
           device node that matched during of_clk_init(), unless the driver
           uses CLK_OF_DECLARE_DRIVER instead of CLK_OF_DECLARE. This allows
           overlays to work cleanly for drivers that must probe before the
           device model is ready, and also after it's ready when an overlay is
           loaded.
      
         - Clarification in the code around how clk_hw pointers are returned
           from of clk providers
      
         - Proper migration of prepare/enable counts to parents when the clk
           tree is constructed
      
        New Drivers:
      
         - Socionext's UniPhier SoCs
         - Loongson1C
         - ZTE ZX296718
         - Qualcomm MDM9615
         - Amlogic GXBB AO clocks and resets
         - Broadcom BCM53573 ILP
         - Maxim MAX77620
      
       Updates:
      
         - Four Allwinner SoCs are migrated to the new style clk driver (A31,
           A31s, A23 and A33)
         - Exynos 5xxx audio and DRAM clks
         - Loongson1B AC97, DMA and NAND clks
         - Rockchip DDR clks and rk3399 driver tweaks
         - Renesas R-Car M3-W (r8a7796) SoC SDHI interface and Watchdog timer
           clks
         - Renasas R-Car H3 and M3-W CMT clks and RAVB+Thermal clks for M3-W
         - Amlogic GXBB MMC gate clks
         - at91 sama5d4 sckc
         - Removal of STiH415 and STiH416 clk support as the SoC is being
           removed
         - Rework of STiH4xx clk support for new style bindings
         - Continuation of driver migration to clk_hw based registration APIs
         - xgene PMD support
         - bcm2835 critical clk markings
         - ARM versatile ICST"

      Using BUG_ON() as an assert() is _never_ acceptable · 21f54dda
      Linus Torvalds authored
      That just generally kills the machine, and makes debugging only much
      harder, since the traces may long be gone.
      
      Debugging by assert() is a disease.  Don't do it.  If you can continue,
      you're much better off doing so with a live machine where you have a
      much higher chance that the report actually makes it to the system logs,
      rather than result in a machine that is just completely dead.
      
      The only valid situation for BUG_ON() is when continuing is not an
      option, because there is massive corruption.  But if you are just
      verifying that something is true, you warn about your broken assumptions
      (preferably just once), and limp on.

           Developed in cooperation with Christoph and Keith.
      
         - Proper delegation of softirqs to ksoftirqd, so if ksoftirqd is
           active then no further softirq processsing on interrupt return
           happens. Otherwise we try to delegate and still run another batch
           of network packets in the irq return path, which then tries to
           delegate to ksoftirqd .....
      
         - A proper machine parseable sysfs based alternative for
           /proc/interrupts.
      
         - ACPI support for the GICV3-ITS and ARM interrupt remapping
      
         - Two new irq chips from the ARM SoC zoo: STM32-EXTI and MVEBU-PIC
      
         - A new irq chip for the JCore (SuperH)

      Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
       "The main kernel side changes were:
      
         - uprobes enhancements (Masami Hiramatsu)
      
         - Uncore group events enhancements (David Carrillo-Cisneros)
      
         - x86 Intel: Add support for Skylake server uncore PMUs (Kan Liang)
      
         - x86 Intel: LBR cleanups and enhancements, for better branch
           annotation tracking (Peter Zijlstra)
      
         - x86 Intel: Add support for PTWRITE and power event tracing
           (Alexander Shishkin)
      
         - ... various fixes, cleanups and smaller enhancements.
      
        Lots of tooling changes - a couple of highlights:
      
         - Support event group view with hierarchy mode in 'perf top' and
           'perf report' (Namhyung Kim)
      
           e.g.:
      
           $ perf record -e '{cycles,instructions}' make
           $ perf report --hierarchy --stdio
           ...
           #   Overhead  Command / Shared Object / Symbol
           # ......................  ..................................
           ...
           25.74%  27.18%sh
           19.96%  24.14%libc-2.24.so
            9.55%  14.64%[.] __strcmp_sse2
            1.54%   0.00%[.] __tfind
            1.07%   1.13%[.] _int_malloc
            0.95%   0.00%[.] __strchr_sse2
            0.89%   1.39%[.] __tsearch
            0.76%   0.00%[.] strlen
      
         - Add branch stack / basic block info to 'perf annotate --stdio',
           where for each branch, we add an asm comment after the instruction
           with information on how often it was taken and predicted. See
           example with color output at:
      
             http://vger.kernel.org/~acme/perf/annotate_basic_blocks.png
      
           (Peter Zijlstra)
      
         - Add support for using symbols in address filters with Intel PT and
           ARM CoreSight (hardware assisted tracing facilities) (Adrian
           Hunter, Mathieu Poirier)
      
         - Add support for interacting with Coresight PMU ETMs/PTMs, that are
           IP blocks to perform hardware assisted tracing on a ARM CPU core
           (Mathieu Poirier)
      
         - Support generating cross arch probes, i.e. if you specify a vmlinux
           file for different arch than the one in the host machine,
      
              $ perf probe --definition function_name args
      
           will generate the probe definition string needed to append to the
           target machine /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobes_events file, using
           scripting (Masami Hiramatsu).
      
         - Allow configuring the default 'perf report -s' sort order in
           ~/.perfconfig, for instance, "sym,dso" may be more fitting for
           kernel developers. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
      
         - ... plus lots of other changes, refactorings, features and fixes"
