| | * ACPI/PCI: Negotiate _OSC control bits before requesting them Rafael J. Wysocki2010-08-241-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It is possible that the BIOS will not grant control of all _OSC features requested via acpi_pci_osc_control_set(), so it is recommended to negotiate the final set of _OSC features with the query flag set before calling _OSC to request control of these features. To implement it, rework acpi_pci_osc_control_set() so that the caller can specify the mask of _OSC control bits to negotiate and the mask of _OSC control bits that are absolutely necessary to it. Then, acpi_pci_osc_control_set() will run _OSC queries in a loop until the mask of _OSC control bits returned by the BIOS is equal to the mask passed to it. Also, before running the _OSC request acpi_pci_osc_control_set() will check if the caller's required control bits are present in the final mask. Using this mechanism we will be able to avoid situations in which the BIOS doesn't grant control of certain _OSC features, because they depend on some other _OSC features that have not been requested.

| | * ACPI/PCI: Do not preserve _OSC control bits returned by a query Rafael J. Wysocki2010-08-241-3/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is the assumption in acpi_pci_osc_control_set() that it is always sufficient to compare the mask of _OSC control bits to be requested with the result of an _OSC query where all of the known control bits have been checked. However, in general, that need not be the case. For example, if an _OSC feature A depends on an _OSC feature B and control of A, B plus another _OSC feature C is requested simultaneously, the BIOS may return A, B, C, while it would only return C if A and C were requested without B. That may result in passing a wrong mask of _OSC control bits to an _OSC control request, in which case the BIOS may only grant control of a subset of the requested features. Moreover, acpi_pci_run_osc() will return error code if that happens and the caller of acpi_pci_osc_control_set() will not know that it's been granted control of some _OSC features. Consequently, the system will generally not work as expected. Apart from this acpi_pci_osc_control_set() always uses the mask of _OSC control bits returned by the very first invocation of acpi_pci_query_osc(), but that is done with the second argument equal to OSC_PCI_SEGMENT_GROUPS_SUPPORT which generally happens to affect the returned _OSC control bits. For these reasons, make acpi_pci_osc_control_set() always check if control of the requested _OSC features will be granted before making the final control request. As a result, the osc_control_qry and osc_queried members of struct acpi_pci_root are not necessary any more, so drop them and remove the remaining code referring to them. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

This is used to implement the max_active limit and workqueue freezing. If a work item is queued after nr_active has already reached max_active, the work item doesn't increment nr_active and is put on the delayed queue and gets activated later as previous active work items retire. try_to_grab_pending() which is used in the cancellation path unconditionally decremented nr_active whether the work item being cancelled is currently active or delayed, so cancelling a delayed work item makes nr_active underflow. This breaks max_active enforcement and triggers BUG_ON() in destroy_workqueue() later on. This patch fixes this bug by adding a flag WORK_STRUCT_DELAYED, which is set while a work item in on the delayed list and making try_to_grab_pending() decrement nr_active iff the work item is currently active. The addition of the flag enlarges cwq alignment to 256 bytes which is getting a bit too large. It's scheduled to be reduced back to 128 bytes by merging WORK_STRUCT_PENDING and WORK_STRUCT_CWQ in the next devel cycle.

| | * | | | workqueue: improve destroy_workqueue() debuggabilityTejun Heo2010-08-241-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now that the worklist is global, having works pending after wq destruction can easily lead to oops and destroy_workqueue() have several BUG_ON()s to catch these cases. Unfortunately, BUG_ON() doesn't tell much about how the work became pending after the final flush_workqueue(). This patch adds WQ_DYING which is set before the final flush begins. If a work is requested to be queued on a dying workqueue, WARN_ON_ONCE() is triggered and the request is ignored. This clearly indicates which caller is trying to queue a work on a dying workqueue and keeps the system working in most cases. Locking rule comment is updated such that the 'I' rule includes modifying the field from destruction path. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

If the original task is waiting for a permissions response it will be holding the srcu lock. The listener cannot clean up and exit until after that srcu lock is syncronized. Thus deadlock. The fix introduced here is to stop accepting new permissions events when a listener is shutting down and to grant permission for all outstanding events. Thus the original task will eventually release the srcu lock and the listener can complete shutdown.

Unfortunately, the current timer tracing is not very useful: the actual timer function is not recorded in the trace at the start of timer execution. Although this is recorded for timer "start" time (when it gets armed), this is not useful; most timers get started early, and a tracer like PowerTOP will never see this event, but will only see the actual running of the timer. This patch just adds the function to the timer tracing; I've verified with PowerTOP that now it can get useful information about timers.

Now if userspace specifies the allocation size as smaller than the driver needs, the driver can possibly overwrite memory. This patch restructures the driver ioctls so we store the structure size we are expecting, and make sure we allocate at least that size. The copy from/to userspace are still restricted to the size the user specifies, this allows ioctl structs to grow on both sides of the equation. Up until now we didn't really use the DRM_IOCTL defines in the kernel, so this cleans them up and adds them for nouveau. v2: fix nouveau pushbuf arg (thanks to Ben for pointing it out) Reported-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linuxfoundation.org> Signed-off-by: Dave Airlie <airlied@redhat.com>

This patch adds a pair of tracepoints to the new workqueue code, similar in style to the timer/hrtimer tracepoints.

The lglock provides fast access to the per-cpu lists to add and remove files. It also provides a snapshot of all the per-cpu lists (although this is very slow). One difficulty with this approach is that a file can be removed from the list by another CPU. We must track which per-cpu list the file is on with a new variale in the file struct (packed into a hole on 64-bit archs). Scalability could suffer if files are frequently removed from different cpu's list. However loads with frequent removal of files imply short interval between adding and removing the files, and the scheduler attempts to avoid moving processes too far away. Also, even in the case of cross-CPU removal, the hardware has much more opportunity to parallelise cacheline transfers with N cachelines than with 1. A worst-case test of 1 CPU allocating files subsequently being freed by N CPUs degenerates to contending on a single lock, which is no worse than before. When more than one CPU are allocating files, even if they are always freed by different CPUs, there will be more parallelism than the single-lock case. Testing results: On a 2 socket, 8 core opteron, I measure the number of times the lock is taken to remove the file, the number of times it is removed by the same CPU that added it, and the number of times it is removed by the same node that added it.

It remains within the same node 95% of the time. Tim Chen ran some numbers for a 64 thread Nehalem system performing a compile. throughput 2.6.34-rc2 24.5 +patch 24.9 us sys idle IO wait (in %) 2.6.34-rc2 51.25 28.25 17.25 3.25 +patch 53.75 18.5 19 8.75 So significantly less CPU time spent in kernel code, higher idle time and slightly higher throughput. Single threaded performance difference was within the noise of microbenchmarks. That is not to say penalty does not exist, the code is larger and more memory accesses required so it will be slightly slower.

These can be used to: - Provide fast exclusive access to per-CPU data, with exclusive access to another CPU's data allowed but possibly subject to contention, and to provide very slow exclusive access to all per-CPU data. - Or to provide very fast and scalable read serialisation, and to provide very slow exclusive serialisation of data (not necessarily per-CPU data). Brlocks are also implemented as a short-hand notation for the latter use case. Thanks to Paul for local/global naming convention.
