There have been numerous reports of stalls that pointed at the problem
being somewhere in the VM. There are multiple roots to the problems which
means dealing with any of the root problems in isolation is tricky to
justify on their own and they would still need integration testing. This
patch series puts together two different patch sets which in combination
should tackle some of the root causes of latency problems being reported.
Patch 1 adds a tracepoint for shrink_inactive_list. For this series, the
most important results is being able to calculate the scanning/reclaim
ratio as a measure of the amount of work being done by page reclaim.
Patch 2 accounts for time spent in congestion_wait.
Patches 3-6 were originally developed by Kosaki Motohiro but reworked for
this series. It has been noted that lumpy reclaim is far too aggressive
and trashes the system somewhat. As SLUB uses high-order allocations, a
large cost incurred by lumpy reclaim will be noticeable. It was also
reported during transparent hugepage support testing that lumpy reclaim
was trashing the system and these patches should mitigate that problem
without disabling lumpy reclaim.
Patch 7 adds wait_iff_congested() and replaces some callers of
congestion_wait(). wait_iff_congested() only sleeps if there is a BDI
that is currently congested. Patch 8 notes that any BDI being congested
is not necessarily a problem because there could be multiple BDIs of
varying speeds and numberous zones. It attempts to track when a zone
being reclaimed contains many pages backed by a congested BDI and if so,
reclaimers wait on the congestion queue.
I ran a number of tests with monitoring on X86, X86-64 and PPC64. Each
machine had 3G of RAM and the CPUs were
X86: Intel P4 2-core
X86-64: AMD Phenom 4-core
PPC64: PPC970MP
Each used a single disk and the onboard IO controller. Dirty ratio was
left at 20. I'm just going to report for X86-64 and PPC64 in a vague
attempt to keep this report short. Four kernels were tested each based on
v2.6.36-rc4
traceonly-v2r2: Patches 1 and 2 to instrument vmscan reclaims and congestion_wait
lowlumpy-v2r3: Patches 1-6 to test if lumpy reclaim is better
waitcongest-v2r3: Patches 1-7 to only wait on congestion
waitwriteback-v2r4: Patches 1-8 to detect when a zone is congested
nocongest-v1r5: Patches 1-3 for testing wait_iff_congestion
nodirect-v1r5: Patches 1-10 to disable filesystem writeback for better IO
The tests run were as follows
kernbench
compile-based benchmark. Smoke test performance
sysbench
OLTP read-only benchmark. Will be re-run in the future as read-write
micro-mapped-file-stream
This is a micro-benchmark from Johannes Weiner that accesses a
large sparse-file through mmap(). It was configured to run in only
single-CPU mode but can be indicative of how well page reclaim
identifies suitable pages.
stress-highalloc
Tries to allocate huge pages under heavy load.
kernbench, iozone and sysbench did not report any performance regression
on any machine. sysbench did pressure the system lightly and there was
reclaim activity but there were no difference of major interest between
the kernels.

These are based on the raw figures taken from /proc/vmstat. It's a rough
measure of reclaim activity. Note that allocstall counts are higher
because we are entering direct reclaim more often as a result of not
sleeping in congestion. In itself, it's not necessarily a bad thing.
It's easier to get a view of what happened from the vmscan tracepoint
report.

What is interesting here for nocongest in particular is that while direct
reclaim scans more pages, the overall number of pages scanned remains the
same and the ratio of pages scanned to pages reclaimed is more or less the
same. In other words, while we are sleeping less, reclaim is not doing
more work and as direct reclaim and kswapd is awake for less time, it
would appear to be doing less work.

Overall, the tests completed faster. It is interesting to note that backing off further
when a zone is congested and not just a BDI was more efficient overall.

Again, a similar trend that the congestion_wait changes mean that direct
reclaim scans more pages but the overall number of pages scanned while
slightly reduced, are very similar. The ratio of scanning/reclaimed
remains roughly similar. The downside is that kswapd and direct reclaim
was awake longer and for a larger percentage of the overall workload.
It's possible there were big differences in the amount of time spent
reclaiming slab pages between the different kernels which is plausible
considering that the micro tests runs after fsmark and sysbench.

Scanned/reclaimed ratios again look good with big improvements in
efficiency. The Scanned/written ratios also look much improved. With a
better scanned/written ration, there is an expectation that IO would be
more efficient and indeed, the time spent in direct reclaim is much
reduced by the full series and kswapd spends a little less time awake.
Overall, indications here are that allocations were happening much faster
and this can be seen with a graph of the latency figures as the
allocations were taking place

Overall, the time spent speeping is reduced. kswapd is still hitting
congestion_wait() but that is because there are callers remaining where it
wasn't clear in advance if they should be changed to wait_iff_congested()
or not. Overall the sleep imes are reduced though - from 79ish seconds to
about 19.

Success rates there are *way* up particularly considering that the 16MB
huge pages on PPC64 mean that it's always much harder to allocate them.

reclaim and with kswapd are massively reduced, mostly by the lowlumpy
patches.

The time to complete this test goes way down. With the full series, we
are allocating over twice the number of huge pages in 30% of the time and
there is a corresponding impact on the allocation latency graph available
at.

This patch:
Add a trace event for shrink_inactive_list() and updates the sample
postprocessing script appropriately. It can be used to determine how many
pages were reclaimed and for non-lumpy reclaim where exactly the pages
were reclaimed from.

This patch creates a new idmapper system that uses the request-key function to
place a call into userspace to map user and group ids to names. The old
idmapper was single threaded, which prevented more than one request from running
at a single time. This means that a user would have to wait for an upcall to
finish before accessing a cached result.
The upcall result is stored on a keyring of type id_resolver. See the file
Documentation/filesystems/nfs/idmapper.txt for instructions.

This is a new driver for Aztech Sound Galaxy ISA soundcards based on the
AZT1605 and AZT2316 chipsets. It's constructed as two seperate drivers
for either chipset generated from the same source file, with (very)
minimal ifdeffery.
The drivers check the SB DSP version to decide if they are being loaded
for the right chip. AZT1605 returns 2.1 by default and AZT2316 3.1.
This isn't full-proof as the DSP version can actually be set through
software but it's close enough -- as far as I've been able to see, the
DSP version can not be stored in the EEPROM and the cards will therefore
startup with the defaults.
This distinction could (with the same success rate) also be used to
decide which chip we're looking at at runtime meaning a single, merged
driver is also an option but I feel it's actually nicer this way. A
merged driver would have to postpone translating the passed in resource
values to the card configuration until it knew which one it was looking
at and would need to postpone erring out on mpu_irq=10 for azt1605 and
mpu_irq=3 for azt2316.
The drivers have been tested on various cards. For snd-azt1605:
FCC-ID I38-MMSN811: Aztech Sound Galaxy Nova 16 Extra
FCC-ID I38-MMSN822: Aztech Sound Galaxy Pro 16 II
and for snd-azt2316:
FCC-ID I38-MMSN824: Aztech Sound Galaxy Pro 16 AB
FCC-ID I38-MMSN826: Trust Sound Expert DeLuxe Wave 32 (05201)
FCC-ID I38-MMSN830: Trust Sound Expert DeLuxe 16+ (05202)
FCC-ID I38-MMSN837: Packard Bell ISA Soundcard 030069
FCC-ID I38-MMSN846: Trust Sound Expert DeLuxe 16-3D (06300)
FCC-ID I38-MMSN847: Trust Sound Expert DeLuxe Wave 32-3D (06301)
FCC-ID I38-MMSN852: Aztech Sound Galaxy Waverider Pro 32-3D
826 and 846 were also marketed directly by Aztech and then known as:
FCC-ID I38-MMSN826: Aztech Sound Galaxy Waverider 32+
FCC-ID I38-MMSN846: Aztech Sound Galaxy Nova 16 Extra II-3D
Together, these cover the AZT1605 and AT2316A, AZT2316R and AZT2316-S
chipsets. All cards work fully -- full-duplex PCM, MIDI and FM. Full
duplex is a little flaky on some.
I38-MSN811 tends to not work in full-duplex but sometimes does with the
highest success rate being achieved when you first start the capture and
then a playback instead of the other way around (it's a CS4231-KL
codec).
The cards with an AD1845XP codec (my I38-MMSN826 and one of my
I38-MMSN830s) are also somewhat duplex-challenged. Sometimes full-duplex
works, sometimes not and this varies from try to try. This seems likely
to be a timing problem somewhere inside wss-lib.
I38-MMSN826 has an additional "ICS2115 WaveFront" wavetable synth
onboard that isn't supported yet. The wavetable synths on I38-MMSN847
and I38-MMSN852 are wired directly to the standard MPU-401 UART and the
AUX1 input on the codec and work without problem.
CD-ROM audio on the cards is routed to the codec "Line" input, Line-In
to its Aux input, and FM/Wavetable to its AUX1 input. I did not rename
the controls due to the capture source enumeration: I see that
capture-source overrides are hardcoded in wss-lib and this is just too
ugly to live.
Versus the old snd-sgalaxy driver these drivers add support for the
models without a configuration EEPROM (which are common), full-duplex,
MPU-401 UART and OPL3. In the future they might grow support for that
ICS2115 WaveFront synth on 826 and an hwdep interface to write to the
EEPROM on the models that have one.

--Vernon
------------------------------------------------------------
IBM Real-Time "SMI Free" mode driver
This driver supports the Real-Time Linux (RTL) BIOS feature.
The RTL feature allows non-fatal System Management Interrupts
(SMIs) to be disabled on supported IBM platforms and is
intended to be coupled with a user-space daemon to monitor
the hardware in a way that can be prioritized and scheduled
to better suit the requirements for the system.
The Device is presented as a special "_RTL_" table to the OS
in the Extended BIOS Data Area. There is a simple protocol
for entering and exiting the mode at runtime. This driver
creates a simple sysfs interface to allow a simple entry and
exit from RTL mode in the UFI/BIOS.
Since the driver is specific to IBM SystemX hardware (x86-
based servers) it only builds on x86 builds. To reduce the
risk of loading on the wrong hardware, the module uses DMI
information and checks a list of servers that are known to
work.

The drivers
- ohci1394 (controller driver)
- ieee1394 (core)
- dv1394, raw1394, video1394 (userspace ABI)
- eth1394, sbp2 (protocol drivers)
are replaced by
- firewire-ohci (controller driver)
- firewire-core (core and userspace ABI)
- firewire-net, firewire-sbp2 (protocol drivers)
which are more featureful, better performing, and more secure than the older
drivers; all with a smaller and more modern code base.
The driver firedtv in drivers/media/dvb/firewire/ contains backends to both
ieee1394 and firewire-core. Its ieee1394 backend code can be removed in an
independent commit; firedtv as-is builds and works fine without ieee1394.
The driver pcilynx (an incomplete controller driver) is deleted without
replacement since PCILynx cards are extremely rare. Owners of these cards
use them with the stand-alone bus sniffer driver nosy instead.
The drivers nosy and init_ohci1394_dma which do not interact with either of
the two IEEE 1394 stacks are not affected by the ieee1394 subsystem removal.
There are still some issues with the newer firewire subsystem compared to
the older one:
- The rare and quirky controllers ALi M52xx, Apple UniNorth v1, NVIDIA
NForce2 are even less well supported by firewire-ohci than by ohci1394.
I am looking into the M52xx issue.
- The experimental firewire-net is reportedly less stable than its
experimental cousin eth1394.
- Audio playback of a certain group of audio devices (ones based on DICE
chipset with EAP; supported by prerelease FFADO code) does not work yet.
This issue is still under investigation.
- There were some ieee1394 based out-of-the-mainline drivers. Of them,
only lisight, an audio driver for iSight webcams, seems still useful.
Work is underway to reimplement it on top of firewire-core.
All these remainig issues are minor; they should not stand in the way of
overall better user experience of IEEE 1394 on Linux, together with a
reduction in support efforts and maintenance burden. The coexistence of two
IEEE 1394 kernel driver stacks in the mainline since 2.6.22 shall end now,
as announced earlier this year.

We need to tell the guest the opcodes that make up a hypercall through
interfaces that are controlled by userspace. So we need to add a call
for userspace to allow it to query those opcodes so it can pass them
on.
This is required because the hypercall opcodes can change based on
the hypervisor conditions. If we're running in hardware accelerated
hypervisor mode, a hypercall looks different from when we're running
without hardware acceleration.
