| * | | KVM: Increase NR_IOBUS_DEVS limit to 200Sridhar Samudrala2010-04-201-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch increases the current hardcoded limit of NR_IOBUS_DEVS from 6 to 200. We are hitting this limit when creating a guest with more than 1 virtio-net device using vhost-net backend. Each virtio-net device requires 2 such devices to service notifications from rx/tx queues.

| * | | KVM: fix the handling of dirty bitmaps to avoid overflowsTakuya Yoshikawa2010-04-201-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Int is not long enough to store the size of a dirty bitmap. This patch fixes this problem with the introduction of a wrapper function to calculate the sizes of dirty bitmaps. Note: in mark_page_dirty(), we have to consider the fact that __set_bit() takes the offset as int, not long.

Such disabling happens in NMIs and in other situations where lockdep might expect to recurse on itself. This patch therefore checks current->lockdep_recursion, disabling RCU lockdep splats when this variable is non-zero. In addition, this patch removes the "likely()", as suggested by Lai Jiangshan.

| | * | rcu: Add rcu_access_pointer and rcu_dereference_protectedPaul E. McKenney2010-04-141-0/+32

These are needed due to some performance concerns with using rcu_dereference() where it is not required, aside from the need for lockdep/sparse checking. The new rcu_access_pointer() primitive is for the case where the pointer is be fetch and not dereferenced. This primitive may be used without protection, RCU or otherwise, due to the fact that it uses ACCESS_ONCE(). The new rcu_dereference_protected() primitive is for the case where updates are prevented, for example, due to holding the update-side lock. This primitive does neither ACCESS_ONCE() nor smp_read_barrier_depends(), so can only be used when updates are somehow prevented.

On the control panel some of the keys could be used to turn on/off various functions. If key autorepeat is enabled this causes the function to quickly toggle between the on and off states and makes operation difficult. Add an option in the platform-specific data to disable the key autorepeat. Signed-off-by: H Hartley Sweeten <hsweeten@visionengravers.com> Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov <dtor@mail.ru>

According to Arnaud, the lock succeeds the first time he opens the file (since we cannot do a delegated open) but then fails after we start using delegated opens. The following patch fixes it by ensuring that locking behaviour is governed by a per-filesystem capability flag that is initially set, but gets cleared if the server ever returns an OPEN without the NFS4_OPEN_RESULT_LOCKTYPE_POSIX flag being set.

The problem is that the double tag_get() in radix_tree_tag_get(): if (!tag_get(node, tag, offset)) saw_unset_tag = 1; if (height == 1) { int ret = tag_get(node, tag, offset); may see the value change due to the action of set/clear. RCU is no protection against this as no pointers are being changed, no nodes are being replaced according to a COW protocol - set/clear alter the node directly. The documentation in linux/radix-tree.h, however, says that radix_tree_tag_get() is an exception to the rule that "any function modifying the tree or tags (...) must exclude other modifications, and exclude any functions reading the tree". The problem is that the next statement in radix_tree_tag_get() checks that the tag doesn't vary over time: BUG_ON(ret && saw_unset_tag); This has been seen happening in FS-Cache: https://www.redhat.com/archives/linux-cachefs/2010-April/msg00013.html To this end, remove the BUG_ON() from radix_tree_tag_get() and note in various comments that the value of the tag may change whilst the RCU read lock is held, and thus that the return value of radix_tree_tag_get() may not be relied upon unless radix_tree_tag_set/clear() and radix_tree_delete() are excluded from running concurrently with it.

So instead use LBA48 for such accesses. This bug could bite a lot of systems, especially when the user has taken care to align partitions to 4KB boundaries. On misaligned systems, it is less likely to be encountered, since a 4KB read would end at 0x10000000 rather than at 0x0fffffff.

The root cause is of course race conditions in the ancient qemu backend that I'm using. However, the fact that the guest isn't recovering is a bug. I've tracked it down to the change made last year to dequeue requests at the start rather than at the end in the IDE layer. commit 8f6205cd572fece673da0255d74843680f67f879 Author: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Date: Fri May 8 11:53:59 2009 +0900 ide: dequeue in-flight request The problem is that the function ide_dma_timeout_retry does not requeue the current request, causing one request to be lost for each DMA timeout. This patch fixes this by requeueing the request. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

We also need to check a matching perf event is actually counting. This walk is wasteful and makes the event fast path scaling down with a growing number of events running on the same contexts. To solve this, we store the running perf events in a hashlist to get an immediate access to them against their type:event_id when they trigger. v2: - Fix SWEVENT_HLIST_SIZE definition (and re-learn some basic maths along the way) - Only allocate hlist for online cpus, but keep track of the refcount on offline possible cpus too, so that we allocate it if needed when it becomes online. - Drop the kref use as it's not adapted to our tricks anymore. v3: - Fix bad refcount check (address instead of value). Thanks to Eric Dumazet who spotted this. - While exiting cpu, move the hlist release out of the IPI path to lock the hlist mutex sanely.

But the change only affects pagemap_read(), which is the only caller of hugepage callback. - Without this patch, hugetlb_entry() callback is called per vma, that doesn't match the natural expectation from its name. - With this patch, hugetlb_entry() is called per hugepte entry and the callback can become much simpler.

We now call through generic_file_aio_write -> generic_write_sync -> vfs_fsync_range. vfs_fsync_range has: if (!fop || !fop->fsync) { ret = -EINVAL; goto out; } But drivers/char/raw.c doesn't set an fsync method. We have two options: fix it or remove the raw driver completely. I'm happy to do either, the fact this has been broken for so long suggests it is rarely used. The patch below adds an fsync method to the raw driver. My knowledge of the block layer is pretty sketchy so this could do with a once over. If we instead decide to remove the raw driver, this patch might still be useful as a backport to 2.6.33 and 2.6.32.

However there is a race when tallying the counter where a reference may be taken by one CPU and released by another. Reference count summation may then see the decrement without having seen the previous increment, leading to lower than expected count. A module which never has its actual reference drop below 1 may return a reference count of 0 due to this race. Module removal generally runs under stop_machine, which prevents this race causing bugs due to removal of in-use modules. However there are other real bugs in module.c code and driver code (module_refcount is exported) where the callers do not run under stop_machine. Fix this by maintaining running per-cpu counters for the number of module refcount increments and the number of refcount decrements. The increments are tallied after the decrements, so any decrement seen will always have its corresponding increment counted. The final refcount is the difference of the total increments and decrements, preventing a low-refcount from being returned.
