Pull VT-d hardware workarounds from David Woodhouse: "This contains a workaround for hardware issues which I *thought* were never going to be seen on production hardware. I'm glad I checked that before the 4.1 release... Firstly, PASID support is so broken on existing chips that we're just going to declare the old capability bit 28 as 'reserved' and change the VT-d spec to move PASID support to another bit. So any existing hardware doesn't support SVM; it only sets that (now) meaningless bit 28. That patch *wasn't* imperative for 4.1 because we don't have PASID support yet. But *even* the extended context tables are broken — if you just enable the wider tables and use none of the new bits in them, which is precisely what 4.1 does, you find that translations don't work. It's this problem which I thought was caught in time to be fixed before production, but wasn't. To avoid triggering this issue, we now *only* enable the extended context tables on hardware which also advertises "we have PASID support and we actually tested it this time" with the new PASID feature bit. In addition, I've added an 'intel_iommu=ecs_off' command line parameter to allow us to disable it manually if we need to" * git://git.infradead.org/intel-iommu: iommu/vt-d: Only enable extended context tables if PASID is supported iommu/vt-d: Change PASID support to bit 40 of Extended Capability Register

iommu/vt-d: Change PASID support to bit 40 of Extended Capability Register

2015-06-09T14:06:55+00:00

The existing hardware implementations with PASID support advertised in bit 28? Forget them. They do not exist. Bit 28 means nothing. When we have something that works, it'll use bit 40. Do not attempt to infer anything meaningful from bit 28. This will be reflected in an updated VT-d spec in the extremely near future. Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse

percpu_counter: batch size aware __percpu_counter_compare()

2015-05-28T21:39:34+00:00

XFS uses non-stanard batch sizes for avoiding frequent global counter updates on it's allocated inode counters, as they increment or decrement in batches of 64 inodes. Hence the standard percpu counter batch of 32 means that the counter is effectively a global counter. Currently Xfs uses a batch size of 128 so that it doesn't take the global lock on every single modification. However, Xfs also needs to compare accurately against zero, which means we need to use percpu_counter_compare(), and that has a hard-coded batch size of 32, and hence will spuriously fail to detect when it is supposed to use precise comparisons and hence the accounting goes wrong. Add __percpu_counter_compare() to take a custom batch size so we can use it sanely in XFS and factor percpu_counter_compare() to use it.

block: discard bdi_unregister() in favour of bdi_destroy()

2015-05-28T16:12:42+00:00

bdi_unregister() now contains very little functionality. It contains a "WARN_ON" if bdi->dev is NULL. This warning is of no real consequence as bdi->dev isn't needed by anything else in the function, and it triggers if blk_cleanup_queue() -> bdi_destroy() is called before bdi_unregister, which happens since Commit: 6cd18e711dd8 ("block: destroy bdi before blockdev is unregistered.") So this isn't wanted. It also calls bdi_set_min_ratio(). This needs to be called after writes through the bdi have all been flushed, and before the bdi is destroyed. Calling it early is better than calling it late as it frees up a global resource. Calling it immediately after bdi_wb_shutdown() in bdi_destroy() perfectly fits these requirements. So bdi_unregister() can be discarded with the important content moved to bdi_destroy(), as can the writeback_bdi_unregister event which is already not used.

cpumask_set_cpu_local_first => cpumask_local_spread, lament

2015-05-28T01:35:20+00:00

da91309e0a7e (cpumask: Utility function to set n'th cpu...) created a genuinely weird function. I never saw it before, it went through DaveM. (He only does this to make us other maintainers feel better about our own mistakes.) cpumask_set_cpu_local_first's purpose is say "I need to spread things across N online cpus, choose the ones on this numa node first"; you call it in a loop. It can fail. One of the two callers ignores this, the other aborts and fails the device open. It can fail in two ways: allocating the off-stack cpumask, or through a convoluted codepath which AFAICT can only occur if cpu_online_mask changes. Which shouldn't happen, because if cpu_online_mask can change while you call this, it could return a now-offline cpu anyway. It contains a nonsensical test "!cpumask_of_node(numa_node)". This was drawn to my attention by Geert, who said this causes a warning on Sparc. It sets a single bit in a cpumask instead of returning a cpu number, because that's what the callers want. It could be made more efficient by passing the previous cpu rather than an index, but that would be more invasive to the callers.
