Alexey Dobriyan reported trouble with LTP with the new fast-gup code, and Johannes Weiner debugged it to non-page-aligned addresses, where the new get_user_pages_fast() code would do all the wrong things, including just traversing past the end of the requested area due to 'addr' never matching 'end' exactly. This is not a pretty fix, and we may actually want to move the alignment into generic code, leaving just the core code per-arch, but Alexey verified that the vmsplice01 LTP test doesn't crash with this.

lguest uses a Waker process to break it out of the kernel (ie. actually running the guest) when file descriptor needs attention. Changing this from a process to a thread somewhat simplifies things: it can directly access the fd_set of things to watch. More importantly, it means that the Waker can see Guest memory correctly, so /dev/vring file descriptors will work as anticipated (the alternative is to actually mmap MAP_SHARED, but you can't do that with /dev/zero).

virtio_ring has the ability to suppress notifications. This prevents a guest exit for every packet, but we need to set a timer on packet receipt to re-check if there were any remaining packets. Here are the times for 1G TCP Guest->Host with different timeout settings (it matters because the TCP window doesn't grow big enough to fill the entire buffer): Timeout value Seconds Xmit/Recv/Timeout None (before) 25.3784 xmit 7750233 recv 1 2500 usec 62.5119 xmit 207020 recv 2 timeout 207020 1000 usec 34.5379 xmit 207003 recv 2 timeout 207003 750 usec 29.2305 xmit 207002 recv 1 timeout 207002 500 usec 19.1887 xmit 561141 recv 1 timeout 559657 250 usec 20.0465 xmit 214128 recv 2 timeout 214110 100 usec 19.2583 xmit 561621 recv 1 timeout 560153 (Note that these values are sensitive to the GSO patches which come later, and probably other traffic-related variables, so take with a large grain of salt).

If you've got a nice DHCP configuration which maps MAC addresses to specific IP addresses, then you're going to want to start your guest with one of those MAC addresses. Also, in Fedora, we have persistent network interface naming based on the MAC address, so with randomly assigned addresses you're soon going to hit eth13. Who knows what will happen then! Allow assigning a MAC address to the network interface with e.g. --tunnet=bridge:eth0:00:FF:95:6B:DA:3D or: --tunnet=192.168.121.1:00:FF:95:6B:DA:3D which is pretty unintelligable, but ...

With SLUB debugging turned on in 2.6.26, I was getting memory corruption when testing eCryptfs. The root cause turned out to be that eCryptfs was doing kmalloc(PAGE_CACHE_SIZE); virt_to_page() and treating that as a nice page-aligned chunk of memory. But at least with SLUB debugging on, this is not always true, and the page we get from virt_to_page does not necessarily match the PAGE_CACHE_SIZE worth of memory we got from kmalloc. My simple testcase was 2 loops doing "rm -f fileX; cp /tmp/fileX ." for 2 different multi-megabyte files. With this change I no longer see the corruption. Signed-off-by:

When we read some part of a file through pagecache, if there is a pagecache of corresponding index but this page is not uptodate, read IO is issued and this page will be uptodate. I think this is good for pagesize == blocksize environment but there is room for improvement on pagesize != blocksize environment. Because in this case a page can have multiple buffers and even if a page is not uptodate, some buffers can be uptodate. So I suggest that when all buffers which correspond to a part of a file that we want to read are uptodate, use this pagecache and copy data from this pagecache to user buffer even if a page is not uptodate. This can reduce read IO and improve system throughput. I wrote a benchmark program and got result number with this program. This benchmark do: 1: mount and open a test file. 2: create a 512MB file. 3: close a file and umount. 4: mount and again open a test file. 5: pwrite randomly 300000 times on a test file. offset is aligned by IO size(1024bytes). 6: measure time of preading randomly 100000 times on a test file. The result was: 2.6.26 330 sec 2.6.26-patched 226 sec Arch:i386 Filesystem:ext3 Blocksize:1024 bytes Memory: 1GB On ext3/4, a file is written through buffer/block. So random read/write mixed workloads or random read after random write workloads are optimized with this patch under pagesize != blocksize environment. This test result showed this. The benchmark program is as follows: #include <stdio.h> #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/stat.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <time.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <string.h> #include <sys/mount.h> #define LEN 1024 #define LOOP 1024*512 /* 512MB */ main(void) { unsigned long i, offset, filesize; int fd; char buf[LEN]; time_t t1, t2; if (mount("/dev/sda1", "/root/test1/", "ext3", 0, 0) < 0) { perror("cannot mount\n"); exit(1); } memset(buf, 0, LEN); fd = open("/root/test1/testfile", O_CREAT|O_RDWR|O_TRUNC); if (fd < 0) { perror("cannot open file\n"); exit(1); } for (i = 0; i < LOOP; i++) write(fd, buf, LEN); close(fd); if (umount("/root/test1/") < 0) { perror("cannot umount\n"); exit(1); } if (mount("/dev/sda1", "/root/test1/", "ext3", 0, 0) < 0) { perror("cannot mount\n"); exit(1); } fd = open("/root/test1/testfile", O_RDWR); if (fd < 0) { perror("cannot open file\n"); exit(1); } filesize = LEN * LOOP; for (i = 0; i < 300000; i++){ offset = (random() % filesize) & (~(LEN - 1)); pwrite(fd, buf, LEN, offset); } printf("start test\n"); time(&t1); for (i = 0; i < 100000; i++){ offset = (random() % filesize) & (~(LEN - 1)); pread(fd, buf, LEN, offset); } time(&t2); printf("%ld sec\n", t2-t1); close(fd); if (umount("/root/test1/") < 0) { perror("cannot umount\n"); exit(1); } } Signed-off-by:Hisashi Hifumi <hifumi.hisashi@oss.ntt.co.jp> Cc: Nick Piggin <nickpiggin@yahoo.com.au> Cc: Christoph Hellwig <hch@infradead.org> Cc: Jan Kara <jack@ucw.cz> Cc: <linux-ext4@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by:

The original "Pass the bus number we expect the S3C24XX SPI driver to attach to via the platform data." [1] patch was mis-sent, and missed two important parts of the diff, which was to actually set the bus_num field and add the relevant field to the platform data. The previous commit 50f426b5 promised to add a bus_num field, but failed to include the two hunks that added this field to include/asm-arm/arch-s3c2410/spi.h and then pass it to the spi core when creating the new master field in drivers/spi/spi_s3c24xx.c.

The block transfer routine in the mpc52xx psc spi driver misinterpret the datasheet. According to the processor datasheet the chipselect is held as long as the EOF is not written. Theoretically blocks of any sizes can be transferred in this way. The old routine however writes an EOF after every word, which has the size of size_of_word. This makes the transfer slow. Also fixed some duplicate code. Signed-off-by:

With KVM/GFP/XPMEM there isn't just the primary CPU MMU pointing to pages. There are secondary MMUs (with secondary sptes and secondary tlbs) too. sptes in the kvm case are shadow pagetables, but when I say spte in mmu-notifier context, I mean "secondary pte". In GRU case there's no actual secondary pte and there's only a secondary tlb because the GRU secondary MMU has no knowledge about sptes and every secondary tlb miss event in the MMU always generates a page fault that has to be resolved by the CPU (this is not the case of KVM where the a secondary tlb miss will walk sptes in hardware and it will refill the secondary tlb transparently to software if the corresponding spte is present). The same way zap_page_range has to invalidate the pte before freeing the page, the spte (and secondary tlb) must also be invalidated before any page is freed and reused. Currently we take a page_count pin on every page mapped by sptes, but that means the pages can't be swapped whenever they're mapped by any spte because they're part of the guest working set. Furthermore a spte unmap event can immediately lead to a page to be freed when the pin is released (so requiring the same complex and relatively slow tlb_gather smp safe logic we have in zap_page_range and that can be avoided completely if the spte unmap event doesn't require an unpin of the page previously mapped in the secondary MMU). The mmu notifiers allow kvm/GRU/XPMEM to attach to the tsk->mm and know when the VM is swapping or freeing or doing anything on the primary MMU so that the secondary MMU code can drop sptes before the pages are freed, avoiding all page pinning and allowing 100% reliable swapping of guest physical address space. Furthermore it avoids the code that teardown the mappings of the secondary MMU, to implement a logic like tlb_gather in zap_page_range that would require many IPI to flush other cpu tlbs, for each fixed number of spte unmapped. To make an example: if what happens on the primary MMU is a protection downgrade (from writeable to wrprotect) the secondary MMU mappings will be invalidated, and the next secondary-mmu-page-fault will call get_user_pages and trigger a do_wp_page through get_user_pages if it called get_user_pages with write=1, and it'll re-establishing an updated spte or secondary-tlb-mapping on the copied page. Or it will setup a readonly spte or readonly tlb mapping if it's a guest-read, if it calls get_user_pages with write=0. This is just an example. This allows to map any page pointed by any pte (and in turn visible in the primary CPU MMU), into a secondary MMU (be it a pure tlb like GRU, or an full MMU with both sptes and secondary-tlb like the shadow-pagetable layer with kvm), or a remote DMA in software like XPMEM (hence needing of schedule in XPMEM code to send the invalidate to the remote node, while no need to schedule in kvm/gru as it's an immediate event like invalidating primary-mmu pte). At least for KVM without this patch it's impossible to swap guests reliably. And having this feature and removing the page pin allows several other optimizations that simplify life considerably. Dependencies: 1) mm_take_all_locks() to register the mmu notifier when the whole VM isn't doing anything with "mm". This allows mmu notifier users to keep track if the VM is in the middle of the invalidate_range_begin/end critical section with an atomic counter incraese in range_begin and decreased in range_end. No secondary MMU page fault is allowed to map any spte or secondary tlb reference, while the VM is in the middle of range_begin/end as any page returned by get_user_pages in that critical section could later immediately be freed without any further ->invalidate_page notification (invalidate_range_begin/end works on ranges and ->invalidate_page isn't called immediately before freeing the page). To stop all page freeing and pagetable overwrites the mmap_sem must be taken in write mode and all other anon_vma/i_mmap locks must be taken too. 2) It'd be a waste to add branches in the VM if nobody could possibly run KVM/GRU/XPMEM on the kernel, so mmu notifiers will only enabled if CONFIG_KVM=m/y. In the current kernel kvm won't yet take advantage of mmu notifiers, but this already allows to compile a KVM external module against a kernel with mmu notifiers enabled and from the next pull from kvm.git we'll start using them. And GRU/XPMEM will also be able to continue the development by enabling KVM=m in their config, until they submit all GRU/XPMEM GPLv2 code to the mainline kernel. Then they can also enable MMU_NOTIFIERS in the same way KVM does it (even if KVM=n). This guarantees nobody selects MMU_NOTIFIER=y if KVM and GRU and XPMEM are all =n. The mmu_notifier_register call can fail because mm_take_all_locks may be interrupted by a signal and return -EINTR. Because mmu_notifier_reigster is used when a driver startup, a failure can be gracefully handled. Here an example of the change applied to kvm to register the mmu notifiers. Usually when a driver startups other allocations are required anyway and -ENOMEM failure paths exists already. struct kvm *kvm_arch_create_vm(void) { struct kvm *kvm = kzalloc(sizeof(struct kvm), GFP_KERNEL); + int err; if (!kvm) return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM); INIT_LIST_HEAD(&kvm->arch.active_mmu_pages); + kvm->arch.mmu_notifier.ops = &kvm_mmu_notifier_ops; + err = mmu_notifier_register(&kvm->arch.mmu_notifier, current->mm); + if (err) { + kfree(kvm); + return ERR_PTR(err); + } + return kvm; } mmu_notifier_unregister returns void and it's reliable. The patch also adds a few needed but missing includes that would prevent kernel to compile after these changes on non-x86 archs (x86 didn't need them by luck).

mm_take_all_locks holds off reclaim from an entire mm_struct. This allows mmu notifiers to register into the mm at any time with the guarantee that no mmu operation is in progress on the mm. This operation locks against the VM for all pte/vma/mm related operations that could ever happen on a certain mm. This includes vmtruncate, try_to_unmap, and all page faults. The caller must take the mmap_sem in write mode before calling mm_take_all_locks(). The caller isn't allowed to release the mmap_sem until mm_drop_all_locks() returns. mmap_sem in write mode is required in order to block all operations that could modify pagetables and free pages without need of altering the vma layout (for example populate_range() with nonlinear vmas). It's also needed in write mode to avoid new anon_vmas to be associated with existing vmas. A single task can't take more than one mm_take_all_locks() in a row or it would deadlock. mm_take_all_locks() and mm_drop_all_locks are expensive operations that may have to take thousand of locks. mm_take_all_locks() can fail if it's interrupted by signals. When mmu_notifier_register returns, we must be sure that the driver is notified if some task is in the middle of a vmtruncate for the 'mm' where the mmu notifier was registered (mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start/end is run around the vmtruncation but mmu_notifier_register can run after mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start and before mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end). Same problem for rmap paths. And we've to remove page pinning to avoid replicating the tlb_gather logic inside KVM (and GRU doesn't work well with page pinning regardless of needing tlb_gather), so without mm_take_all_locks when vmtruncate frees the page, kvm would have no way to notice that it mapped into sptes a page that is going into the freelist without a chance of any further mmu_notifier notification.
